Chapter 387 Yixiu 5

"Why is this so sudden?"

Rouze blinked and subconsciously looked at Nanny Yun who had taken care of her since she was a child.

Yixiu ignored the quarrel between the master and servant and said frankly: "Honghui has been ill for the past two weeks. I am really exhausted and can't bear this heavy burden anymore."

"But I'm pregnant now, and the doctor said I can't overwork myself."

Rouze had no idea about the power of housekeeper. In fact, when she saw that Yixiu was willing to take charge, she ignored the advice of Nanny Yun and Xiyu and let Yixiu control the whole house.

She even felt relieved privately, just because Yixiu was so busy with all kinds of things every day that she refused to take part in such mundane matters.

But what Yixiu said today was not wrong. She didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only look at Nanny Yun repeatedly, asking her for advice.

Nanny Yun and Xiyu were also caught off guard by Yixiu. They were not the simple and kind-hearted wives who were willing to trust this illegitimate sister.

He had previously deceived Fu Jin and held on to the power of steward in the mansion, refusing to give it up, but now he suddenly came to his senses and knew the rules? There must be something fishy going on!

But even if it is a fraud, this opportunity is rare.

It's because Concubine Fu's personality is that she will never take the initiative to ask for power back. If she misses this opportunity, and Yixiu doesn't speak up in the future, when Concubine Fu gives birth to a son, the mansion will be controlled by the concubine. Wouldn't that really be a rebellion against Tiangang!

Thinking of this, Nanny Yun smiled and took a half step forward: "What Concubine said is true. Concubine and our wife are sisters, so naturally it doesn't matter who is in charge of the household. But in this world, there must be a hierarchy. Otherwise, not only will it disrupt the rules, but it will also inevitably cause Concubine De to worry."

"Madame Yun is indeed experienced, but I also understand that it is not easy for a woman to conceive for the first time. It is reasonable for you to be concerned about the imperial physician's words. If you are really too busy here, I can come and help you often."

When Yixiu said this, Nanny Yun felt relieved. She felt that she had seen through her intentions and said with a smile, "Prince Honghui is still ill. How dare I trouble Concubine Concubine with these trivial matters?"

The two of them chatted back and forth for a while, and Yixiu deliberately kept a stiff face but seemed to be forcing herself to leave. She smiled softly after leaving Ninghua Hall.

"Why is Concubine Concubine laughing? That Madam Yun is so unreasonable. It really makes me angry."

"What's the big deal? It's like pie falling from the sky. Anyone would doubt whether it's poisonous, let alone the old man in the backyard who has become a spirit. If she hadn't asked for it tentatively, I would have doubted whether I should give it to her."

Yixiu smiled with a relaxed look on her face. When she thought about going back and living her own life behind closed doors without having to worry about those messy things, she felt that the sky had become bluer and the water had become clearer.

Isn't it said that her elder sister is smart?

The mother-in-law is her aunt, the wife is her elder sister, and she herself is a concubine listed in the imperial genealogy and has a son.

In the entire backyard, except for the wife, she has the highest status. She has money, free time, a son, and her husband is almost non-existent. What a wonderful life this is!

If I had known about it earlier, I don't know how free I would have been. But I had been running her household for so many years, acting as her free babysitter, just to vent my anger.

well……

It turns out that you always find the work for yourself.

Never mind, I’m still young now, I’ll just make it up to myself slowly.

Thinking of the smile on Nanny Yun's face that almost couldn't be held when the lady agreed to let her visit more often, her mood became even brighter.

Yixiu turned her head and smiled like jasmine in midsummer: "Jianqiu, I'm a little hungry."

…

Yi Zhengzhen and Jianqiu were discussing food and drinks over here, while over there in Ninghua Hall, Xiyu was talking about the concubine who was acting a little unusually today.

"Madam Yun, what exactly did the concubine do with this..."

"The concubine naturally had her own plans, but this time her plans failed."

Nanny Yun waited for Fu Jin to rest carefully before she and Xiyu carefully retreated. When she heard her talk about Yixiu, a hint of disdain appeared on her face:

"After all, her family background is limited. She was so respectful before, but once Fu Jin got pregnant, she still showed the signs."

"You mean she wants to?"

"Of course she wouldn't dare do anything. But firstly, since the Concubine is pregnant for the first time and has to manage the household, she's bound to be exhausted. If anything happens, it won't be her fault. Secondly, even if the Concubine is fine, she can use this as an excuse to come visit often. By then, she'll be seeing Prince Prince every day. Since our Concubine is pregnant and can't serve her, it's a good thing for her."

"The concubine is really good at scheming. It's a pity that our concubine is simple-minded and was fooled by her in just a few words. If the concubine really uses some tricks at that time, I'm afraid she will be heartbroken."

Xiyu grumbled a few words indignantly, but seeing that Nanny Yun was calm, she knew that she had already made up her mind. "Look at you, Nanny, I think you have a solution?"

"The devil is one foot high, but the way is ten feet higher. The concubine doesn't know the character of the concubine, but there are people who know clearly. Now the prince has only one illegitimate prince, and our concubine is pregnant with great difficulty. Even for the sake of the heir, there will be people who ask her to be content."

What Nanny Yun said was indeed true. Only two days later, Yixiu heard that Concubine De wanted to summon her and her wife into the palace.

At that time, Yi Zhengzhen was dining with Honghui. She had saved up the good things and secretly gave some to Honghui. Although the child still looked a little thin, in terms of health, he was probably not as healthy as Yinzhen.

Of course, she also took care of herself. She hadn't gone out to see anyone these days, otherwise the rumors that Prince Honghui was not in good health and that the concubine was so worried that she was sick and unable to manage the affairs of the family would not have spread.

"In that case, let Randong accompany me into the palace tomorrow."

Yixiu wiped the corner of her mouth and played with Honghui for a while before returning to her study.

Ran Dong followed and stood behind. As Yixiu raised her head and lowered her brows, she immediately spread out the paper she was going to use, rolled up her sleeves for her, and then became like a silent wooden sculpture.

Yixiu ignored him and concentrated on copying the calligraphy, but her mind gradually drifted away.

Among the four people around her, only Jianqiu and Huichun have followed her since childhood and are the ones she trusts the most.

Xiuxia was sent by her family through the Imperial Household Department, while Randong was given to Honghui by Concubine De after she fell ill.

Therefore, she had always been on guard against these two people in her previous life, especially Ran Dong. She knew some medical skills and was Concubine De's person, so Yixiu was naturally always worried about her.

Looking back now, I can't help but laugh at myself for being so young back then. Loyalty or not, after all, has nothing to do with one's background, or even what one is thinking.

As long as the other party cannot and will not betray you, wouldn't he be the most loyal servant?
