Mrs. Hou is indeed two older than the other now, so even when she saw Yumei saying that her youngest daughter wanted to see her, she had no time to deal with it and just asked Yumei to say something.
"Tell the lady that news will come back after a while, so that she can take a good rest."
Yumei also knows that there is something wrong with the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and Mrs. Hou can't leave now. I could only go back and convey the madam's words to the young lady.
Xue Lianyi had already put on a veil at this time. After listening to the maid's words, she felt better. She just kept putting makeup on herself, hoping to return herself to her appearance before she fell ill. Unfortunately, these were all It's all in vain.
As time went by, her appearance became more and more ugly. Even Yumei did not dare to look carefully at her young lady's face. She was afraid that staring for too long would make her crazy.
The number of times Mrs. Hou visits her youngest daughter has also decreased sharply, and she is not as concerned about her as before. After all, she has to deal with many things every day, and she gradually stops paying attention to a daughter who has lost her use value.
Not long after Ripples on the other side returned, good news came from the backyard. Aunt Gao was also pregnant, which made Lin Yaozu very happy.
Mrs. Lin didn't say much. After all, they were all her grandchildren, so according to the concubine's instructions, she also sent corresponding supplements and rewards to Aunt Gao.
As the head wife, Lianyi was also very generous and asked Aunt Zhen to give her a reward. However, she did not want to give anyone a chance to frame her, so she gave the money directly, saying that Aunt Gao could buy whatever she liked, and it was imported. She didn't send any food, clothing, or jewelry.
Mother Zhen was a little surprised at first, but then she thought about it and understood what the young lady meant.
Although the women who are both young masters have different concubines, this aunt Gao has the ability to get pregnant before the young lady has given birth to a child. If she encounters a narrow-minded mistress, she will definitely find a way to make the child unable to be born.
But the mistress of my family is very generous and is not worried that her status will be threatened. However, if you think about it, you can understand that the only legitimate daughter of Marquis Anding and her two brothers are also competing for her. He has obtained positions in both the court and the court, and with the rich dowry, he will not be wronged at all.
After marrying into the Shangshu Mansion, the young lady became pregnant immediately, and she also respected the elders in the manor. She was already in an invincible position, so why bother to quarrel with the young master for the sake of the child? At that time, she and her husband separated from each other.
Now the young lady doesn't care, but there are a few women in the backyard who are willing to watch the other concubines. If those people can't reach the young lady's yard, they will target Aunt Gao.
The young lady doesn’t want to take the blame, so the reward she gives is silver. After all, the food she eats, the silk and satin she wears, and the jewelry on her head and face are all easily tampered with, so it’s best to give her money.
After Lin Yaozu came back, he first visited Aunt Gao and then came to Lianyi. As a husband, he knew that his wife must be feeling uncomfortable, so he came here to comfort Lianyi.
Lianyi didn't care at all, but she wouldn't show it. She just tapped Lin Yaozu's chest with her finger, pouted and said:
"Husband, you are really capable, my belly The child here has not yet been born, and you have given me a bastard."
Lin Yaozu felt guilty, but he still patiently explained:
"Madam, you are pregnant. They didn't let me touch it, so I had to vent my anger to those concubines. Who knew that my mother stopped using the concubine soup when she saw you were pregnant. I didn't want to have a bastard so early.
If you are unhappy, I will find an excuse to punish Aunt Gao and let the child fall away, and you will not be angry with your husband again. ”
After listening to Lin Yaozu’s scumbag quotes, Lianyi just wanted to grab him by the collar and ask: Where did you get the confidence to think that the child must be yours.
But damn, she In Lin Yaozu's arms, he lightly beat his chest, and then said angrily:
"You are going to be a father. Can you be responsible? It's a life, and I still want to give him what's in my belly." The child is blessed!
Didn’t you push me to the forefront of the limelight by doing this? Doesn't Aunt Gao want to hate me to death? I'm not a person who has no tolerance for others.
I am your legal wife, and the child in my belly is your legitimate son and daughter. Other women cannot surpass me, and their children will naturally not surpass the children I gave birth to, so I have nothing to care about. "
Lin Yaozu rubbed his sore chest after being beaten, and could only say with a smile: "That's why I say that my wife is generous and has considered everything for her husband. Don't worry, I will work with you. Mother said that the decoction in the backyard cannot be stopped until our child is born. "
"Okay, don't bother mother. Since it has stopped, it has stopped. My mother-in-law must have done this because she felt that the children of the Lin family were weak. I don't want my mother-in-law to think that I Not of the same mind as her. "
Lianyi directly rejected Lin Yaozu's proposal. Anyway, those concubines did not have the courage of Aunt Gao, and Lin Yaozu had lost the ability to sow. No matter how good the land was, nothing could grow without seeds, so why did she have to worry about it? That infamy.
Lin Yaozu was obviously very satisfied with Lianyi's generosity. He spent a lot of money to buy a set of red jade hairpins for Lianyi, which made the women in the backyard really envious and jealous, especially Aunt Gao. I heard that she broke a hosta.
Aunt Gao didn’t understand. It was she who was pregnant, but it was the young lady who was praised. Fortunately, she could distinguish the importance and knew that the child in her belly was the most important now, so she calmed down immediately. , and began to focus on raising a baby.
After Grandma Sun came back, she went to see Lianyi immediately.
"Young madam, the old slave is back."
"Have the mother's affairs been settled?"
"Everything has been taken care of. The Hou Mansion has no grudges with the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Nanny Sun said immediately.
"Mother Zhen and Mei Zhi stay, you all go down."
Lianyi hugged Xuanfeng and waved her hands.
After the other maids went down, Ripple asked:
"Mother Sun, how did you deal with it specifically?"
"Young madam, the second Miss Zhao fell into the water by herself. The maids around her and the servants by the lake in the back garden were also supported by her. It was open, so I can’t blame the Anding Hou Mansion.
My wife arranged for Aunt Yao to personally send Miss Zhao Er back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and explained the cause and effect clearly. The Prime Minister’s Mansion did not embarrass Madam.
But Commander Feng, who saved people, went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to plead guilty, but the Prime Minister did not see him, and even sent him a generous gift the next day to thank him for saving his second daughter.
However. In the past two days, it has been rumored that Miss Zhao Er fell ill after returning to her home. Several doctors were invited one after another, and they all said that it was due to wind evil entering her body and depression in her heart, so her condition has not improved. "< br>
Grandma Sun said.
After hearing this, Lianyi understood that the prime minister was protecting his daughter and did not want to have anything to do with Commander Feng. To put it bluntly, he did not want his daughter to get married.
"I understand. You must have worked hard these past two days to share my mother's worries for me. I will give you three days off to go back and reunite with your family."
Lianyi said generously. .
"Young madam, this old slave does not need to rest."
"Mama Zhen is taking care of things in the yard. Just rest peacefully."
