"Who said it wasn't true? Outsiders say that my brother married the daughter of the Tai family, but my brother is the Marquis of Xuanping, why would he need to marry a small family like the Tai family? The daughter of the Tai family has been in the mansion for three years, but she hasn't been able to give birth to a child for my brother. Who knows what other problems she has." Gu Nianshu complained to Shen Miaomiao with the posture of a victim.

Wei Ziran, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this.

In this capital city, is there any unmarried sister-in-law who would make up stories about her own sister-in-law at a banquet at someone else's house?

Whose face is this embarrassing?

Could it be that it’s not from the Marquis Xuanping’s Mansion?

"Miss Gu San, please be careful with your words!" Wei Ziran reminded her for the sake of Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue.

"An Ran, it's okay. People can't hold it in for too long, or they'll get sick easily. Besides, there's no outsiders here, just the two of us. We can just listen to it and let it go." Shen Miaomiao said to Wei Ziran while motioning for Gu Nianshu to continue.

"Then you guys talk. I'm leaving first." Wei Ziran really didn't want to listen to such bad things about others.

Besides, she didn't think this matter was really as Gu Nianshu said.

Tai Jingwan brought Jiang Jinyue to the garden.

...

...

Today, the main purpose of Anjun Palace is to appreciate the lotus flowers.

Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue walked across the Nine-Curve Bamboo Bridge, and were immediately struck by the green sky.

The Thousand Lotus Pond in Prince Anjun's Palace is indeed worthy of its reputation. The multi-layered lotus flowers are like stacked snow and jade, the sprinkled lotus flowers are like rouge and ink, and there are rare thousand-petal lotus flowers that stretch out layer by layer in the morning light, with dew condensed between the golden stamens.

"This 'twin lotus' is a treasure presented by Nanzhao as a tribute." The maid who led the way gently waved her round fan and pointed at the strange flower in the middle of the water that looked like a lotus platform. "Two flowers on one stem, growing from the same root, this is extremely rare."

"Oh, this is an auspicious sign!" A woman soon said excitedly.

"That's right. Since ancient times, twin petals not only symbolize faithful love, but are also a sign of a country's prosperity." Soon a woman came forward and said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that good things will happen in Prince Anjun's mansion in the near future." Everyone said to Princess Anjun one after another.

Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue walked over at this time, and soon a woman looked at Tai Jingwan with contempt.

"Oh my, our lotus, which has such a good meaning, is afraid that it will be subjected to the foul air of some people today. How can such a person have the face to attend Princess Anjun's flower viewing banquet?"

It's very interesting. The woman who saw Tai Jingwan coming over looked at Tai Jingwan in a sarcastic tone and said to her.

The person who spoke was Xia Lan, the wife of Liu Qingyun, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate.

Xia Lan gave birth to nine sons in total. In this capital city, everyone envied Xia Lan for being able to give birth to nine sons in a row.

Therefore, Xia Lan thought that she was several heads taller than Tai Jingwan.

At this moment, he used the excuse of the twin lotus to ridicule Tai Jingwan as a hen that didn't lay eggs.

Princess An Jun frowned when she heard this. She was very unhappy with Xia Lan's words. Tai Jingwan was the guest she invited.

This Xia Lan is really stealing the show.

"Oh, Madam Liu, everyone in this capital city knows that you are the most fertile. Everyone envies you for giving birth to nine sons, and all of them are handsome and heroic." Soon a woman looked at Xia Lan with envy and said.

[Oh, no way, that is the wife of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate, right? Oh my God, she is still complacent about giving birth to nine sons. You know, the fathers of her nine sons are different people. 】

Jiang Jinyue looked at Xia Lan and was very curious about her.

After all, there are really no women in the capital who are as fertile as Xia Lan.

Tai Jingwan looked at Xia Lan in disbelief when she heard this.

He even ignored Xia Lan's indirect criticism of him.

It would be fine if I could give birth, but this...

Nine fathers?

Could it be that Xia Lan's private life is so messy?

Xia Lan looked at the way Tai Jingwan looked at her and raised her head proudly. She felt that Tai Jingwan must be envious of her for being able to give birth to so many sons.

"I say, daughter-in-law of the Gu family, we women don't have any other skills. We are supposed to guard the rear for men, bear children for men, and manage the household so that men don't have to worry about the future, right?" Xia Lan thought so and began to lecture Tai Jingwan.

Tai Jingwan was completely confused.

What did she say?

Why did Madam Liu call her name?

[Oh my god, you guarded the rear for your man and made every one of his male favorites have offspring, except for your own. 】

Jiang Jinyue rolled her eyes in her heart, not understanding how Liu Xia had the nerve to lecture Tai Jingwan.

Tai Jingwan was almost shocked by Jiang Jinyue's words.

Male favorite?

Could it be that Lord Liu is gay?

"Mrs. Liu is quite experienced." Tai Jingwan said, looking at Xia Lan with some sympathy, wondering in her heart, is Xia Lan willing to give birth to children for Liu Qingyun's male favorites?

"That's right. When it comes to having children, in this capital, if I'm second, no one dares to claim to be first." Xia Lan patted her chest and assured.

"Mrs. Liu and Lord Liu have a really good relationship." Tai Jingwan said again.

[Oh my silly sister, what’s good about their relationship? Andy Lau really disliked this lady. If he didn't need this fool Xia Lan as a shield, he would not have married her. Andy Lau never even touched Xia Lan's hand. 】

Jiang Jinyue complained in her heart again.

Tai Jingwan heard this and thought, is this something I can listen to?

It's really exciting.

Could it be that Xia Lan volunteered to bear children for those male favorites?

Just to keep her position as the wife of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate?

Isn’t this too stupid?

"That's right. If my husband and I didn't have a good relationship, how could I have given birth to nine sons in a row?" Xia Lan said proudly.

[Haha, how dare she say that? Andy Lau has never been in the same place with her, and those male favorites all went in after the lights were turned off. I'm afraid Xia Lan still doesn't know that her children were all sired by different men, right? 】

Jiang Jinyue thought with some gloating.

Tai Jingwan looked at Xia Lan with sympathy.

"Mrs. Liu is really lucky." Although Tai Jingwan knew the reason behind this matter, she did not intend to expose anyone's past.

After all, if this matter were to be exposed, it would be a huge scandal in the capital.

"That's right. I'm not as unlucky as Miss Tai. I've been married into the Marquis Xuanping's mansion for three years, but she hasn't laid an egg." Xia Lan said proudly.

[Oh my god, this old woman Yu, she really opened a dyeing room just by being given a little color? How dare you ridicule my sister Tai? No, I have to expose her true colors, humph! 】

Jiang Jinyue got angry when she heard that.

Tai Jingwan looked at Xia Lan, who was insisting on being right, and smiled.
