Chapter 135 The Old Lady Favors Qiao Niang

Originally, I wanted to call Xiaotao to ask her clearly whether Yunqiao’s previous infertility was true or false. I just asked a few questions, and less than half an hour after Xiaotao was called, Aunt Qiao came.

After Aunt Qiao arrived, the Marquis also came.

The old lady was happy to learn that Yun Qiao was pregnant with twins. Twins were a bad omen in the royal family, but in the common people it was also a happy and auspicious thing.

Considering that Yun Qiao was pregnant with twins, the old lady did not pursue the previous matter any further.

Instead, he rewarded Yun Qiao with some nutritious food.

In addition, two elderly mothers with childbirth experience were also wanted to be used by Yunqiao.

Knowing that Yun Qiao didn't like being in the presence of many people, Chen Jingyan helped to refuse.

"Sanlang has invited a female doctor. It's just right. Once she enters the Marquis' Mansion, she can help grandma make some medicinal food to regulate her body."

"You're really thoughtful." The old lady said, "Okay, I know you're in poor health, but you need to rest well. If you need anything, just come and find me."

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

Yun Qiao stood up slightly and said with a smile.

After saying this, the old lady looked at the wife of the first house, but her smiling face changed and became serious.

"You from the Dafang family, what do you want from me?"

There was nothing good when the people from the eldest wife came to see her. Either they said that this farm was not making money, or that shop was losing money. In the end, they just wanted to get some benefits from her.

"Mother, I really don't have anything to do this time. It's just that my niece from my mother's side is angry with my parents and wants to stay with me for a few days. I came to tell you about it."

The old lady frowned, but waved her hand nonchalantly.

"She's your niece, so you have the final say. But you're not allowed to act like a spoiled brat in this mansion. If you don't have anything else to do, go back first. Don't bother me with everything."

The eldest wife has had a big appetite lately and wants everything.

She is old, not stupid.

After sending the first wife away, Yun Qiao also left.

Chen Jingyan was kept by the old lady.

The grandmother and her two companions sat down, and the old lady talked to Chen Jingyan about something.

"After your mother passed away, the dowry that came with her was taken back by your uncle's family. Now that your sister has found it, the dowry should be given to her, but we don't lack those things in the Marquis' Mansion, so we simply don't want them."

"I often say bad things about your mother, and you must feel uncomfortable, but if your uncle's daughter comes, you must stay away from her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyan said, "Grandma, what do you mean by that? My uncle's daughter, are you talking about?"

"You forgot. I received a letter last year. Your uncle's daughter, Rujin, married into a new family last year. It's not that her husband died and she wants to go back to her parents' home, but she wants to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a while."

Like brocade?

Chen Jingyan really had no impression of it.

But my grandmother said that it was the girl who always followed his mother around and always called his mother "Auntie" sweetly.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm busy with government affairs right now and don't have time to take care of those things. Since she's my uncle's cousin, let her live in the separate courtyard until my uncle's family comes to pick her up."

The old lady nodded. "I'm serious. Although Yun Qiao comes from a poor family, she has a good temperament and a pure character. You can keep her if you like, but you must stay away from those troublesome people out there."

Chen Jingyan laughed, it turned out that his grandmother was worried about this.

He has seen many women, some beautiful and charming, some pretty and dignified, some virtuous and kind, some playful and clever, but they are all empty.

After he decided on Yun Qiao, she was the only one he wanted.

As for other people, no matter how beautiful, charming or seductive they are, it has nothing to do with him.

"Let's put this matter in the outer courtyard. Grandma, don't worry about it. Just leave it to the people below to handle."

The old lady felt relieved after hearing what Chen Jingyan said.

She knew very well what the Du family was like, but for Chen Jingyan, the Du family was his maternal uncle's family after all. They would have exchanges with the Marquis' Mansion every year. They would call it a reciprocity of gifts, but every year it was the Marquis' Mansion that gave the Du family generous gifts.

The Du family had this in mind, so they sent gifts first every year, ahead of the Marquis' Mansion.

Of course, the return gift from the Marquis' Mansion is indispensable.

Outsiders and even Chen Jingyan knew that the Du family sent gifts to the Marquis' Mansion every year, but they did not know the actual bill.

The old lady doesn't like her daughter-in-law, but she still values ​​her grandson very much. She thinks her grandson is better than her son, and he is the future of the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady had to explain everything about the Du family to her grandson.

I'm just afraid that my grandson will hate me in the future.

***

After talking with his grandmother, Chen Jingyan went to Lan Garden. Before he reached the gate of Lan Garden, he was stopped by Cheng Danmei who lived in Anxiang Courtyard.

She just stared at Chen Jingyan.

"The Marquis's love is truly fickle. He only sees the newcomers laughing, but never hears the old ones crying."

If Chen Jingyan had not seen Cheng Danmei, he would have forgotten about this person long ago.

"The Marquis' Mansion has not treated you unfairly. Stay in the courtyard and don't run out for no reason. If you don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, just leave and find another place to go."

Chen Jingyan frowned and strode forward.

"Chen Jingyan, if you don't like me, why did you bring me back in the first place? You brought me back, but you don't love me."

Cheng Danmei stood behind Chen Jingyan and shouted loudly. Her voice gradually became much lower, and finally she started crying.

Chen Jingyan didn't even turn his head.

When he entered Lan Garden, his face looked bad.

Yun Qiao saw it and moved a little, "Who made our Marquis angry? His expression is not good."

Chen Jingyan walked over to Yun Qiao and asked her in a low voice, "Are you still having morning sickness? You look a lot thinner."

Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It's fine now. Morning sickness is normal but not too serious. Lord, I really want to ask you, the Second Master is in Kyoto recently. I was thinking of asking him to come and diagnose me again."

Chen Jingyan: "My second brother is not in Kyoto, but Imperial Physician Su is not busy, so I went to find him."

"Take good care of the baby and don't worry too much about what's happening outside."

The women Chen Jingyan keeps in his backyard will sooner or later cause trouble in front of Yun Qiao, and Chen Jingyan doesn't want those things to affect Yun Qiao's mood.

After sitting with her for a while, Chen Jingyan left.

Yun Qiao then asked the people below why the Marquis said such a thing out of the blue.

Qiu Chan and Qiu Ye had no idea what was happening outside the door, but Xiao Tao, who had just returned from washing and packing, heard the old woman outside the door talking and asked a few questions.

"It must be Aunt Cheng who stopped the Marquis and wanted to say something, but the Marquis ignored her."

"My Lord is worried that those concubines will disturb your rest."

Yun Qiao nodded.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about them."

Anyway, they can't cause trouble to her, and even if they do, she has a way to deal with it.
