Although Jiang Weizhen is a soldier and doesn't quite understand the twists and turns of the imperial court, he always knows who is the best person for him.

Yu Shulan, the princess of the Duke's Mansion, was raised in pampering since childhood.

But since she married me, she has been taking care of the family, and later she even accompanied me to the border to suffer hardships.

It is the greatest blessing in his life that he can marry such a good wife.

He still has four precious children, and now he just wants his family to live a safe and happy life and change the tragic ending of his previous life.

As for Old Madam Jiang, she was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Even though she did not love him, he could not be unfilial.

However, he would never again hurt his own family for the sake of filial piety.

They don't go to the backyard to pay their respects on ordinary days, but they have to go during the New Year.

Jiang Weizhen and Yu Shulan led their four children to the backyard.

There was a burst of laughter from inside, it was the people from the first and second wives.

"Mother."

When they saw their family come in, the laughter in the house stopped abruptly.

"Greetings to Grandma, Happy New Year."

Jiang Chuyuan led his younger brother and sister-in-law to pay their respects respectfully to Old Madam Jiang.

Old Madam Jiang raised her eyelids, and the nanny beside her immediately handed her four red envelopes.

"Thank you, Grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, the red envelope in Jiang Qingwan's hand fell to the ground, and the silver in the red envelope also scattered out. The heavy red envelope was full of small change, which was estimated to be less than five taels of silver in total.

Madam Jiang blushed and said embarrassedly.

"Don't think it's too little. The expenses in the mansion are being reduced, and grandma doesn't have much spare money."

As he said this, he looked at Yu Shulan with some resentment.

"The red envelope just represents the thought, the amount is not important."

Jiang Dingbei said, looking at Jiang Yilang, and quickly snatched the red envelope from his hand, "Let me see how much big brother has."

"Jiang Dingbei."

Jiang Yilang wanted to snatch it back, but the red envelope had already been opened, and inside was a silver note worth one hundred taels.

How ironic it is to compare a hundred-dollar note with a pile of change.

"Mine is fifty taels."

At some point, Jiang Qianxue opened the red envelope and told it out.

"Qianxue."

Su Wu frowned slightly, wanting to scold her daughter, but at the same time she felt a little dissatisfied. They only had this one daughter in the third branch, and even if Old Madam Jiang didn't ask for more, she should at least treat them equally.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Jiang Zhaoyue again. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mine is also fifty taels."

This is different treatment between men and women, and the second wife is treated specially.

"It's all a token of your appreciation. Please put the red envelope away quickly. You shouldn't open it in front of me."

Liu, who had benefited, spoke up quickly.

These red envelopes were usually kept and opened in private, so Mrs. Jiang dared to treat them differently. She was very embarrassed when it was suddenly exposed.

"Mom, what are you doing? You don't need this little money."

Jiang Weizhen scolded coldly. He had been treated unfairly since he was a child, and he chose to swallow his anger.

But his children cannot be bullied like this.

Seeing that he was angry, Madam Jiang quickly explained, "It was just a joke with the children. It's fifty taels each."

At her signal, the nanny quickly gave fifty taels to each of Jiang Chuyuan's four brothers and sisters.

They have enough of the fifty taels of silver, but they still have to fight for the share that belongs to them.

"Lang'er gets more because there's also a share for Xi'er's unborn child. So if we divide it this way, it's all the same."

【Liu Xier is pregnant.】

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn over.

Whose child is this?

Yu Shulan, who was holding her, was shocked. Could it be that besides Jiang Yilang, there was someone else with Liu Xier?

Just then Jiang Qingwan thought of it again.

[A few days ago, they were fighting so fiercely, how could they suddenly make up?]

[In her previous life, my brother ignored Liu Xier, so she fell in love with a servant in the mansion. It's not certain who she will be with this time.]

This Liu Xier is not a person who can be taken lightly.

Hearing her thoughts, Yu Shulan asked, "What a happy occasion! How long have you been pregnant?"

"Almost a month."

Mrs. Liu raised her chin, as if having a grandson was a great thing.

"One month? Isn't that the day when that Meng'er came into the mansion?"

Yu Shulan pretended to be surprised and said that Meng'er was a courtesan who was bought by Jiang Yilang at a huge price.

Liu Xier even made a big fuss about this. It's really doubtful that the two of them could sleep together at that time.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, a hint of unnaturalness appeared in Liu Xier's eyes.

"Second Aunt, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Xier has figured it out."

Jiang Yilang said proudly, it seems that Liu Xier has bowed to him.

But this also further confirmed that there was something fishy about the baby in her belly. Otherwise, considering Liu Xier was in a posture that allowed her to chop him with a knife, how could she suddenly figure it out?

I really didn't expect that Liu Xier had such courage.

However, the more unlucky the eldest wife was, the happier Yu Shulan was.

"Congratulations!"

"Our Lang'er has settled down. I wonder when Chu Yuan will get married. From what Madam Ye said, it seems that she is not in a hurry for Miss Ye to get married."

Liu sighed, "If you ask me, the Ye family is not a good match either. Chu Yuan should look for someone else."

Even now, Liu still wants to ruin this marriage.

"The Ye family does want to keep Miss Ye for another year. Chu Yuan is still young, so we can wait."

Yu Shulan replied indifferently.

When she got engaged, she said that she wanted to divide the family property before Ye Ronger married into the family.

Now that the family has not been divided yet, the Ye family naturally will not let her marry in.

"You can wait, but you never thought about how many years I, an old woman, can wait."

Madam Jiang seemed to have finally found the voice to speak and scolded.

"People outside say that you, the second branch, are filial, but little do they know that you are the most selfish. And Chu Yuan and Ding Bei, you don't come to see me several times a month."

Yu Shulan was so angry that she almost laughed. It was obvious that she didn't like the children of the second wife, and she didn't let them come to pay their respects on the grounds that she liked quietness.

In addition, every time they met, she would make some belittling and sarcastic remarks. Over time, the child no longer wanted to come.

Now they are blaming the children for all this.

"Mother knows better than anyone why they didn't come. Isn't it ridiculous to say this now?"

"I haven't talked about you yet. You used to be quite obedient, but now you are becoming less and less aware of the rules."

"Mom, no one gives without expecting anything in return. I'm not a fool, and I can't work hard forever."

"What do you mean? How did I, an old woman, ever let you down?"

Old Madam Jiang was almost mad. She was used to mocking her in the past, so now she still wanted to say a few words to her every time they met.

But every time he made her speechless, she was so angry that she had no place to vent.
