Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 5 Is your child a little too energetic?
The voice of the third young master of the Xu family echoed around the few people.

The maids all looked a little embarrassed.

Although it is true that the Fifth Lady is a concubine and Xu Ming is a bastard, this is indeed true.

In the Dawu Kingdom, the status of a bastard is only slightly higher than that of a slave, and this is true.

But, it's still quite embarrassing to say this openly.

Chunyan, who was standing nearby, noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she quickly poked Qiuju gently. Qiuju understood and said softly to the Third Young Master Xu Xiang in her arms, "Third Young Master, the osmanthus flowers in Manchun Garden are blooming. They smell so good. Let's go and have a look together."

"Great, let's go and take a look, let's go and take a look." Three-year-old Xu Xiang clapped his hands with a runny nose.

Qiu Ju and several maids bowed and said goodbye to the Fifth Madam Chen Suya, then quickly walked away holding Xu Xiang.

"Fifth Madam, children only speak without restraint. Please don't take it to heart." Chunyan stayed and apologized to Chen Suya.

"It's okay." Chen Suya shook her head gently, "The Third Young Master is so young, how could he have any bad intentions."

Chunyan sighed, with a hint of resentment in her tone:
“The Third Young Master has no bad intentions, but the First Madam doesn’t think so.

As you know, the eldest young master was born to the second wife, Madam Qian. In our Dawu country, although there is a difference in status between the main wife and the concubine, since a hundred years ago, all the children born to the main wife or the concubine are legitimate sons and have the qualification to inherit the throne.

If the first lady could give birth to a second young master, that would be fine, but the second young master was born to Madam Lin.
Although the eldest wife gave birth to the third young master two years ago, as you know, the third young master has some health problems and is unable to practice at all, as for taking the path of a warrior.
Even a servant like me knows the hardships of martial arts, so how could the Madam not know it?

And what if I choose to become a warrior?
The eldest young master has an extraordinary talent in the art of talismans. At the age of four, he was noticed by the grand elder of the Tianzhuan Sect. After the fourth young lady's full moon banquet, he will go to the Tianzhuan Sect to practice.

The second young master has a pure yang body, and the leader of the Yan Yang Sect personally accepted him as his disciple.

How can the Third Young Master compare?
Originally, the first lady wanted to have another son, but it turned out to be a girl. Instead, it was you, the fifth lady, who gave birth to Young Master Ming'er.

It's really infuriating. Fifth Madam, you didn't do anything, but the First Madam picked on the weak and took advantage of you. You are really bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!"

"Miss Chunyan." Chen Suya quickly pulled her sleeve, "Miss Chunyan, please stop saying such things. Talking about the master behind his back is... "

"I know, I know." Chunyan smiled and said, "Chunyan is not a fool. I only said these words to you, Madam Wu. Besides, the old lady asked for me. Tomorrow, I will serve the old lady."

"That's great. Miss Chunyan must serve her wholeheartedly."

The master left early, and now the old lady is the person with the highest status in the Qin family. Not everyone can serve the old lady. Chen Suya is really happy for Chunyan.

"Of course. It's my blessing to be able to serve the old lady. But then again, although the eldest lady is annoying, there are still some bottom lines in life."

As she spoke, Chunyan looked around, then moved closer and whispered to Chen Suya.

"Fifth Madam, you don't know that two months ago, Seventh Madam gave birth to a boy."

"Sister Sun has also given birth?" Chen Suya asked in surprise, "I have been taking care of Ming'er in the Deep Courtyard, so I really didn't know about this. I should go see Sister Sun."

"I can't watch it anymore!" Chunyan sighed, "Mrs. Qi has gone crazy."

"Ah???" Chen Suya looked at Chunyan in astonishment. "It's like this." Chunyan looked around and said softly, "The boy born to Madam Qi had a shining light between his eyebrows when he was born. I heard that he was a good candidate for cultivation. But who would have known that after only seven days, Madam Qi's child would die..."

Chunyan didn't finish her words, she just sighed, but Chen Suya already knew what Chunyan meant.

Chunyan continued, "If there is no mastermind behind this, then we can only say that the child is unlucky. But if it is a certain lady who deliberately took away the seventh lady's child..."

Chen Suya's face turned pale in an instant: "Miss Chunyan, be careful with your words! Please don't say anything more. How could such a thing be possible?"

Chunyan nodded: "I know. In short, the Xu family did not spread the news to avoid family scandals. Secret investigations also yielded no results. The servants who gossiped and spread rumors were also punished according to family rules. Madam Seven is really pitiful now."

"." Chen Suya subconsciously hugged the child in her arms tightly, "I pretended not to hear what the girl said to me today."

"Chun Yan naturally believes Madam, otherwise she wouldn't have said this." Chun Yan bowed and said, "Chun Yan will take her leave first."

"Miss Chunyan, take care."

Chen Suya nodded and saluted.

After Chunyan left, Chen Suya held the child in her arms and exhaled deeply: "Child, mother doesn't expect you to have a great future, nor does she expect you to be able to enter the court, or go to heaven and earth like an immortal. You just need to be safe and sound."

Chen Suya kissed Xu Ming on the forehead.

"Ow~"

Xu Ming waved happily in response to his mother.

But Xu Ming felt a little heavy.

My goodness, I had originally thought that I would let him develop for a while, and when he was two or three years old, I would show my amazing talent, to see if my identity as a bastard's son could be taken seriously based on my talent, and then let my mother have a higher status in the mansion.

But now it seems that if I show my talent, it might be strangled in the cradle.
If the Seventh Lady's child was really murdered, he is a bastard and does not even have the right to inherit the title. This is really cruel and ruthless.
For now, I should just stay calm and see how the situation develops.

Xu Ming struggled for a few times in his mother's arms, indicating that he wanted to continue walking.

Chen Suya: "Ming'er, do you want to come down?"

Xu Ming nodded.

Chen Suya put the child down and saw Xu Ming running with his short legs sticking out.

Is your child a little too energetic?
"Excuse me, are you the Fifth Madam?"

Just when Xu Ming took advantage of his mother's inattention and raised his legs a few times, a woman dressed like a maid came over.

"Yes, you are" Chen Suya bowed.

The maid bowed in return: "I am the maid of Grandma Qin. I wonder if Fifth Madam is free. My Grandma wants to invite you to visit the Qin Mansion."
