The Marquis's wife was really overwhelmed right now, so even when she saw Yumei saying that her youngest daughter wanted to see her, she didn't have the time to deal with it. She just asked Yumei to convey a message.

"Tell the young lady that there will be news back in a while, so let her rest well."

Yumei also knew that something had gone wrong at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. Since the marquis's wife was unable to spare time, she could only go back and tell the lady what the lady had said.

Xue Lianyi had already put on a veil at this time. After hearing the maid's words, she felt better. She just kept putting on makeup, trying to restore herself to her appearance before she got sick, but it was a pity that all her efforts were in vain.

As time went by, her appearance became uglier and uglier. Even Yumei didn't dare to look closely at her young lady's face. She was afraid that if she stared at her for too long, she would drive her young lady crazy.

The number of times the Marquis's wife came to see her youngest daughter also decreased sharply, and she was no longer as concerned about her as before. After all, she had a lot of things to deal with every day, and she gradually stopped paying attention to a daughter who had lost her usefulness.

Not long after Lianyi 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 markings for concubines, she also sent corresponding supplements and rewards to Aunt Gao.

Lianyi, as the legal wife, was also very generous. She asked Nanny Zhen to deliver the reward. However, she did not want to give anyone the opportunity to frame her, so she gave the money directly and told Aunt Gao to buy whatever she liked. She did not send any imported food, clothes, or jewelry.

Nanny Zhen was a little surprised at first, but then she thought about it and understood what the young lady meant.

As the young master's woman, although there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, this concubine Gao is capable. She got pregnant before the young lady gave birth to the child. If she met a narrow-minded mistress, she would definitely find a way to prevent the child from being born.

But the mistress of her family was very generous and did not worry that her position would be threatened. But if you think about it, it is understandable. She is the only legitimate daughter of Marquis Anding. Her two brothers are also very hardworking and have obtained positions in the court. In addition, her dowry is generous, so she will not compromise herself at all.

After marrying into the Shangshu Mansion, the young lady became pregnant immediately. She was very respectful to the elders in the mansion. She knew she was already in an invincible position, so why would she make a fuss with the young master for the sake of the child? She would only end up becoming estranged from her husband.

The young lady doesn't care now, but there are several women in the backyard who are willing to watch other concubines prosper. Those people can't reach the young lady's yard, so they will direct their spearheads at Aunt Gao.

The young lady didn't want to take the blame, so the reward she gave was silver. After all, the food we eat, the silks and satins we wear, and the jewelry on our heads can all be tampered with easily, so giving silver is the best thing to do.

After Lin Yaozu came back, he went to see Aunt Gao first, and then came to Lianyi. As a husband, he knew that his wife must be feeling uncomfortable, so he came specially to comfort Lianyi.

Lian Yi didn't care at all, but she didn't show it. She just pointed at Lin Yaozu's chest with her finger and said with a pout:

"My husband, you are really capable. The baby in my belly hasn't even been born yet, but you have already given me a bastard."

Lin Yaozu felt a little guilty, but he still explained patiently:

"Madam, you didn't let me touch you even though you were pregnant, so I had to find those concubines to relieve my sexual desire. But when mother saw that you were pregnant, she stopped giving those concubines contraceptive soup. I didn't want to have a bastard so early.

If you are unhappy, I will find a reason to punish Aunt Gao and make her lose the child, and then you won’t be angry with your husband anymore.”

After listening to Lin Yaozu's scumbag quotes, Lianyi just wanted to grab him by the collar and ask: Where do you get the confidence to think that the child must be yours?

However, she leaned in Lin Yaozu's arms, lightly hit his chest, and then scolded:

"You are going to be a father, can you please be more responsible? That's a life, and I want to accumulate blessings for the child in my belly!

Aren't you pushing me to the forefront by doing this? Aunt Gao will hate me to death, but I am not a person who cannot tolerate others.

I am your legal wife, and the child in my belly is your legitimate son or daughter. Other women cannot surpass me, and their children are naturally not as good as my children. What is there for me to worry about? "

Lin Yaozu rubbed his chest which was hurt from being beaten, and could only say with a smile:

"That's why I said that my wife is generous and has considered everything for her husband. Don't worry, I will tell mother that the medicine in the backyard cannot be stopped. We will talk about it after our child is born."

"Okay, don't bother mother. If it's stopped, then it's stopped. Mother-in-law must have thought that the Lin family had few offspring, so she did this. I don't want her to think that she and I are not on the same page."

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 seeds. No matter how good the land was, nothing would grow without seeds. Why should she bear the infamy?

Lin Yaozu was obviously very satisfied with Lianyi's magnanimity, and he generously bought her a set of red jade headdresses, which made the women in the backyard really envious and jealous, especially Aunt Gao, who was said to have broken a jade hairpin.

Aunt Gao didn't understand why she was the one who was pregnant, but the young lady was the one being praised. Fortunately, she knew what was important and knew that the baby in her belly was the most important thing, so she calmed down immediately and started to take care of the baby with all her heart.

After Nanny Sun came back, the first thing she went to see Lianyi was.

"Young Madam, the old servant is back."

"Have you dealt with the mother's matter?"

"Everything has been handled properly. The Marquis' Mansion has no grudge against the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Nanny Sun said immediately.

"Madame Zhen and Meizhi stay here, the rest of you go down."

Lianyi hugged Xuanfeng and stroked him while waving her hands.

After the other maids left, Lianyi asked:

"Madame Sun, how did you deal with it specifically?"

"Madam, the second Miss Zhao fell into the water by herself. She also sent the maidservants around her and the servants at the lakeside in the back garden away, so the Anding Marquis Mansion cannot be blamed.

Madam arranged for Nanny Yao to personally send Miss Zhao back to the Prime Minister's Residence and explained the whole story to her. The Prime Minister's Residence did not make things difficult for Madam.

Commander Feng, who saved the woman, went to the prime minister's residence to apologize, but the prime minister did not meet him. Instead, he sent a generous gift the next day to thank him for saving his second daughter.

However, there have been rumors these past two days that Miss Zhao fell ill after returning home. She has invited several doctors in succession, but they all said that it was the evil wind that entered her body, coupled with the depression in her heart, so her condition has not improved. "

Nanny Sun said.

After hearing this, Lianyi understood that the prime minister was trying to protect 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 marry.

"I understand. You've been taking care of my mother's worries for me these past two days. I'm sure you've been very tired. I'll give you three days off so you can go back and reunite with your family."

Ripple said generously.

"Young Madam, this old slave does not need to rest."

"Madame Zhen will take care of the affairs in the courtyard, so you can just rest assured."
