The old lady also showed a look of joy on her face: "Yes, it's time to be happy. The mistress of the house is pregnant, and everyone in the general's mansion should be happy. If we have a grandson, I don't know what gift to give him."

However, the General's Mansion is his. I think this is the greatest gift his ancestors have left him!"

When Chu heard this, the expression on her face became a little stiff.

She looked at the old lady, but couldn't tell what she was thinking. She said a few more words and then returned to her room. An Zhongyuan happened to wake up from his nap. Seeing that she looked angry, he asked, "Who has offended you again?"

"How did I offend him? I am so happy. The eldest son is going to have a grandson, and mother is also happy. If we are not happy, won't we cause trouble? It's as if we don't welcome this child."

An Zhongyuan sat up: "How can it be a son?"

"Why can't it be a son? Besides, if this baby is not, there might be another one. I don't know what you are thinking. You usually make me very happy. If they give birth to a boy and the emperor issues an imperial decree, we will be guests in the general's mansion. How can you sleep well?" Mrs. Chu's voice was a little loud.

An Zhongyuan's face changed several times when he heard this. He immediately stood up, put on his clothes and walked out. Chu asked from behind, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to ask for a name for my mother!" Before he finished speaking, he had already left the house.

Hearing this, the displeasure on Chu's face lessened a little.

When An Zhongyuan arrived at the old lady's room, she had already prepared some tonics and was sending them to Lian Jinyu. When she saw him coming in, she asked, "What's up? Your wife left just now, and you're here so soon. Is there something wrong?"

"Mother..." He asked the maids to leave while he was speaking, and then asked, "Mother, have you thought of any solution?"

"What are you talking about!" The old lady sighed and sat down.

"The matter of the general's legitimate son and grandson!" An Zhongyuan's face was full of anxiety, "If this child is born..."

"Why are you so anxious? You're like a panicking cat. You know that although she is pregnant, whether she can give birth to the baby depends on God's will and her ability!" A hint of viciousness flashed across the old lady's face, which was completely different from her previous expression.

An Zhongyuan was also stunned when he saw this: "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. I just said this. She has so many concubines around her, none of them are honest. Why should we worry about anything? All we can do is watch them fight. Yes, just watch the show!" The old lady took a sip of tea. "And how are your own affairs going? You are just a fifth-rank official. Nothing you can do will work!"

"Well, my son is working on it, but he is not familiar with the roads in the capital, so he doesn't know where to find a way!"

An Zhongyuan sighed.

"You live in this general's mansion, do you still need to look for ways outside? Let's talk about this matter later!" said the old lady grimly.

An Zhongyuan was originally very frightened, but he didn't expect that after just a few words from her, he was no longer worried at all.

******

An Ranyue has been most frightened these past two days, fearing that An Qingran would come and cause trouble for her.

Last time, I followed the trend and went to Xiwuyuan. When I came back, I asked my mother to give me a lecture, because they had to be restrained and not let them become alert. But I actually thought that thing was true. I didn't expect that I would be caught.

She was very puzzled. An Yanran seemed very smart, so why did they do such a stupid thing? How could they do such a thing without any definite information?

Really.

No wonder they get humiliated and punished.

However, after calming down, she thought again that Lian Jinrong might not have received the news, and they were obviously tricked by An Qingran. At that time, she also thought that there must be someone hiding in her room, otherwise why would she be so panicked!

The more I thought about her, the more I felt that An Qingran was extraordinary.

I'd better stay away from her in the future, and don't let her plot against me one day.

She was still afraid that An Zhongtao and Lian Jinyu would be angry with her because of this matter, but it seemed that everything was calm these past two days, and there was no movement. It was obvious that she was just a small character, so how could those people take her seriously.

Thinking about it this way, I feel extremely unbalanced.

Is it impossible for others to plot against you even if you want to?

In Lanxiao Pavilion, Lian Jinrong was almost going crazy. She couldn't find a place to vent her anger. She had to let go of the matter of failing to catch the adulterer while she was still in this courtyard. Maybe the little girl was just making up stories and she believed it. Now she was thinking that no matter what, An Qingran would get married. No matter whether she got married well or not, she would get married eventually. If Lian Jinyu gave birth to a boy, she would not be able to be a concubine, and she would have no chance to gain a foothold.

Now the general is still thinking about the fact that she gave birth to Xuan'er. If another legitimate son is born, will her Xuan'er have any chance at all?

An Yanran has already made up her mind. Whether she will have any chance to show her talents in the Kangwang Mansion will be after she gets married. Now the only one she can count on is her son! And Lian Jinyu won't even give her this chance?

How could she just let it go like that?

Lian Jinrong was so furious that she was about to explode. After so many years, was she destined to have this tragic ending from the day she was born?

Just because she was born out of wedlock, does that mean she is destined to never be able to hold her head up high?

She had become a bull, but she didn't know that sometimes being born out of wedlock or not was not the key to the problem. If a person only had the intention to harm others, then heaven would not tolerate it...

Lian Jinrong no longer thought about anything else at this moment. She was only determined to get rid of Lian Jinyu and the baby in her belly. She was willing to fight to the death.

We can't let this little evil creature come into this world.

*************

dinner.

We are all together.

The old lady had a kind face. When she saw Lian Jinyu coming in, she immediately ordered someone, "Quickly bring a soft chair for Madam. Let's put it this way. From tomorrow on, you don't have to go to Beiyuan to have meals with an old lady like me..."

Lian Jinyu smiled and said, "Mother, I'm not that squeamish. This isn't my first child. I have experience!"

"You're talking nonsense. Although this is not your first child, you are not as old as before. You should be more careful. Let me tell you, I, an old lady, think this baby is my grandson. You are not allowed to hide or scare my grandson!" The old lady said with a smile on her face.

Lian Jinyu looked at everyone present, her face becoming more and more radiant, and she said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. Besides, I don't feel that this baby is any different, it may not be a boy!"

"Anyway, let me tell you, I am going to make an announcement now, and you all listen!"
