Meng Xinwan, the young mistress Jiang Yingying’s dowry maid, was sent to the general’s bed by her mistress. By an unexpected turn of events, she became pregnant.
Unaware of what had happened, Meng Xinwan felt unwell and was about to drink the miscarriage-inducing soup her mistress had carefully prepared when she suddenly heard the baby in her belly cry out!
“Mother, don’t drink it, whatever you do! You’re not sick, you’re pregnant!”
“If you drink that soup, your body will be ruined, and Father will have no heir! Hurry and find him!”
Her mother-in-law decided that once the child was born, she would take the baby to be raised by the young mistress.
At the thought of being separated from her daughter, Meng Xinwan trembled with fear.
“Don’t be afraid, Mother! Just become the lady of the household! So what if you have to compete for his favor?”
