Chapter 154 Internecine Struggle
After a happy time for the whole night, Qin Yunuan felt constant backache the next morning . Nurse Liao felt so happy when she heard that Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi was in sweet love every day . She always talked that she hoped to take care of the daughters and sons of the couple in the future .
Qin Yunuan reckoned that she had married to Prince Ning’s Mansion for one month . She looked at her belly . She expected but felt a little bit worried . Now Qin Yunuan should care much about Baochuan, but if there were a new member, she would not know if she could handle all things well .
Soon, it was the day of the selection examination of the Imperial College in autumn . On this day, Qin Baochuan got up early, and Qin Yunuan still slept due to the happy time last night . Leng Changxi tided up the quilt clearly for Qin Yunuan, and then put on a piece of clothing to encourage Baochuan .
“Don’t be so worried,” Leng Changxi with hands clasped behind his back looked at Qin Baochuan who was standing beside a horse carriage, “You should just believe that you study hard for yourself, instead of your sister or the praise of Qin Family . ”
Qin Baochuan nodded like an adult . And then Leng Changxi ordered Leng Wu to safeguard Qin Baochuan closely . Having seen the horse carriage went far away, Leng Changxi turned back to the mansion .
Just walking to the Chuihua Gate, Leng Changxi heard a cold female voice behind, “Brother, you treat Third Sister-in-law so well . ”
Leng Changxi would know who the voice was even if he did not turn back .
In a flash, Leng Suxin came closer with her hand holding a flower sachet, and then she passed it to Leng Changxi, “It is the enchantress from East Garden who let me give it to you . ”
Leng Changxi raised his eyes slightly and knew the enchantress Leng Suxin said just now was Xie Ruying . She had a weird relationship with Xie Ruying . Xie Ruying flattered this miss from Prince Ning’s Mansion so hard just because Leng Suxin had much speaking right in front of the Old Madam of the mansion . Leng Suxin was really a cold lady who was hard to come closer . But she should consider the feeling of Princess Ning, so she could not reject Xie Ruying so toughly .
“Third Brother, I dislike the enchantress . Could you kill her for me?” Leng Suxin said suddenly . Such a pretty and kind girl spoke such things as killing someone, which was hard for others to understand . But Leng Changxi did not feel surprised about that .
Leng Changxi said sincerely, “Suxin, reduce that kind of words in the future . ”
“Why?” Leng Suxin said with more profound eyes, “You told me in our childhood that in this world, if you did not hurt others, others would hurt you . The best way was to kill those who were likely to hurt you, just like your killing in the deserted temple in your childhood . ”
Talking about the killing in the deserted temple, Leng Changxi remembered that he met with Qin Yunuan first there .
Leng Changxi smiled, “Now things get different . I was single at that time, and I could rampage without considering my life or others’ life . But now I have my wife . Nuan has given all she has to me . I must protect her and people around her, and our children in the future . ”
“As I guess, you do all for your wife . ” Leng Suxin said in a slightly desolate and hopeless voice, “Third Brother, you know? I dislike Third Sister-in-law . No . I do not dislike her, but I hate her . I don’t know why I felt sick of her when I saw her back or heard her voice . ”
Suddenly, Leng Changxi squinted and then opened his eyes at once, “It’s OK . I love her . And I refuse to receive the flower sachet of Xie Ruying . I am afraid of the misunderstanding of Nuan . She is so sensitive, so I should not make her hurt at any time . ” And then he turned back and left straightly without glimpsing at Leng Suxin .
There only was Leng Suxin, who stood under the morning sunshine lonely . She kneaded the flower sachet until her close maidservant called her back in a gentle voice .
Leng Suxin sighed leisurely towards the direction Leng Changxi left, and grunted, “It was you who changed, or it was I who changed?” She sighed . And she threw the flower sachet into the pond and then left too .
It was after dawn when Qin Yunuan got up . Leng Changxi had entered the imperial palace earlier, but he had prepared Qin Yunuan’s favorite Hot-toffee Roll and White Fungus Broth on the table .
After washing and tidying, Qin Yunuan was tasting a lotus seed carefully . And then Maner came in .
The first thing she talked about was that Qin Baochuan got up early to attend the examination of the Imperial College in autumn . And the second thing was… .
“I heard that Miss Xie pleaded for the whole night outside the courtyard of Fourth Miss . She hoped that Fourth Miss could send a flower sachet to Third Young Master . Finally, Fourth Miss was soft-hearted and agreed . ”
Qin Yunuan holding the warm bowl stunned . She remembered that she saw Xie Ruying last time sending a flower sachet . Such a stubborn lady . She remembered the flower sachet well . Or…

“And then?”
Maner continued, “I guess Third Young Master did not receive it, because somebody saw that the flower sachet was floating in the pond outside . ”
“Pick it up . ” Qin Yunuan ordered decisively, “Don’t let others find you . Do it secretly . ”
Maner nodded immediately . After a while, Ting Xue and Maner came in, holding a tray where a wet flower sachet was put down . The surface of the flower sachet was wrinkle due to soaking . But the perfect seal did not let the spice inside out .
Qin Yunuan frowned and glimpsed at it . And then she held a scissor to open the flower sachet entirely, and the wet spice was exposed . Although Qin Yunuan could not tell what kind of spice it was, the fragrance gave off . Qin Yunuan was good at remembering and smelling .
“You smell it . What’s this?” Qin Yunuan used a silvery chopstick to pick a dark brown soybean-sized bead . There were seven or eight beads like this one in the flower sachet, with a pungent fragrance .
Maner smelled it and frowned immediately . And Ting Xue said straightly, “It was like musk . ”
Qin Yunuan put down the chopsticks, “It is musk . To be precise, it is musk seed, which is the acutest medicinal part of musk . ”
Musk was a kind of spice and could be added to medicine . But for women, it could not be overused, which could cause infertility . Xie Ruying knew that Leng Changxi stayed with Qin Yunuan every day, and she sent it on purpose . How malicious she was .
“Such a malicious woman . ” Maner gritted her teeth .
Qin Yunuan smiled in disdain, “Now I have married to this mansion for one month . There are more and more people who target my belly . Xie Ruying is one of them, but she was the most aggressive one . This time, I won’t let her off . ”

At the moment, a maidservant reminded that it was the time to greet the Old Madam .
Maner and Ting Xue prepared in a hurry . They were the close maidservants of Qin Yunuan and should go there together . But Qin Yunuan shook her head and said, “This time, you two stay at the courtyard, and have a clear check whether there is something else dirty in the courtyard . Find all out . ”
“I can stay here . ” Maner said forwardly, “Ting Xue follows Third Young Madam to go there . Madam, you need someone to serve . ”
“No,” Qin Yunuan twinkled and smiled, “There are new maidservants in the wood house . This time, I will go there together with Baihe and Haitang . Besides, Leng Shuang is protecting me secretly so that I won’t get hurt . ”
When Qin Yunuan walked outside the courtyard of the Old Madam, she met with Princess Ning, who came to greet the old lady too . Xie Ruying was the distant relative of Princess Ning, and she had been serving Princess Ning all the time . Now she was supporting Princess Ning with her arm intimately, like a cute and elegant little white rabbit . Nobody would think that Xie Ruying had slept with many men .
“Mother . ” Qin Yunuan curtsied to Princess Ning and then stood up . She glanced at Xie Ruying and then smiled, “You come, Miss Xie . ”
Though it was a smile, Xie Ruying felt a little coldness in her heart suddenly .
Princess Ning smiled softly . She said nothing after she saw there were new two pretty maidservants beside Qin Yunuan, instead of the former comely two girls . Qin Yunuan and Princess Ning entered the room together . They heard Leng Suxin was tasting the tea with the Old Madam .
“The tea leaves come from Mount Wuyi and belong to Lapsang souchong, the highest grade . Suxin, you can find such rare tea leaves . So more efficient you are now . ” The Old Madam said in a cheerful voice . Everybody in the mansion knew that the Old Madam was always serious and august, and she only laughed happily in front of Leng Suxin .
“Old Madam . ”
“Mother . ”

Princes Ning and Qin Yunuan entered the room together . At the moment they entered, the old lady withdrew her laugh slightly . Although she was smiling, she did not show her emotion conspicuously .
Princess Ning had a good temper and did not care . She said in a more pious voice, “The other day, I heard from the nannies that you did not sleep well at night . Later, I asked someone to buy some rare Zhuyexiang in the regions south of the River for relieving the sleeplessness . ”
The Old Madam nodded without more emotions and said, “Thanks . ” And then she looked at Qin Yunuan . Last time, she heard more things about Qin Yunuan in the pavilion . Her view of her grandson’s wife was unclear all the time . On the one hand, she admired the braveness and intelligence of Qin Yunuan . On the other hand, she feared such kind of person . After all, smart people caused more miserable consequences when they got malicious .
The Old Madam saw the two maidservants behind Qin Yunuan, especially the one called Haitang . She thought Qin Yunuan took the two girls here to meet higher people . Now the girl seemed to make up on purpose and looked so showy . She almost grabbed the limelight of her master .
“New maidservants?” The Old Madam sipped the tea . She seemed to ask Qin Yunuan by accident .
