Du Peifang hadn't been managing the household for long when a major incident occurred at the Duke Mansion.
The physician took Duke Xie's pulse and discovered his infertility.
This matter caused an uproar in the mansion.
The first person to be suspected was Princess An He.
The old matriarch personally went to the main courtyard, demanding if she had given Lord Xie a potion to prevent offspring.
"A few months ago, Du Peifang was pregnant, proving Lord Xie's body was healthy. Recently, he was harmed by someone—An He, you must give us an explanation."
Princess An He remained calm, "What explanation do you want?"
The old matriarch took a deep breath and asked bluntly, "Did you give him something unclean?"
Sitting beside Duke Xie, he clenched his fist, "A hundred days of grace for each day of companionship, why would you treat me this way?"
Princess An He sipped her hot soup, "I did nothing and know nothing. Don't try to pin the blame on me."
