Chapter 56: The Marquis loves Qiao Niang, making others jealous

Chen Jingyan had checked Yun Qiao's family situation. Both her parents had passed away, and she was fostered in her uncle's home. Chen Jingyan didn't know how her aunt treated her, but after she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she had no contact with her uncle Chen Ruhai's family.

I think most of the relationships are not good.

If he didn't know her situation, he would have ignored it. But now, he knew that Yun Qiao was not having a good time in the Chen family, and he felt a little distressed.

I just want to take better care of it.

Of course, for Chen Jingyan, these concerns were just casual words, and there would be people to do it.

This is what is called rich people care more. If it happens to a poor family, where food and drink are not enough, who would care about these love matters?

After hearing the Marquis's order, Xiaodong went to give the instructions.

The Marquis is going to Jiangcheng, accompanied by guards. Xiaodong is the Marquis's attendant in the Marquis's mansion and is only responsible for matters related to the Marquis's return. However, if there are matters in Kyoto City, they will also be assigned to Xiaodong.

Yun Qiao took the medicinal herbs from Chunhui Garden and ate them twice at first, but the taste of the herbs was too pungent and bitter. After eating them twice, Yun Qiao didn't want to eat them anymore.

The herbs were thrown into the corner and gathered dust.

Xiao Tao wanted to persuade her, but Yun Qiao said that no matter how much medicine she took, her body would not be able to recover to its original state, so why should she suffer by taking medicine?

However, her food had improved visibly.

Not to mention the other concubines of the Marquis, even the wife of the first wife felt uncomfortable.

Just after breakfast, the wife of the first wife brought her two daughters to pay her respects to the old lady and brought up this matter.

"Although Lan Yuan is favored, the Marquis cannot pamper her like this. Please arrange for her to have good food and drink."

"Jinghao told me today that she had a headache this morning and wanted to eat a bowl of bird's nest. She saw it stewing on the stove in the main kitchen, but as soon as the maid asked about it, she said she couldn't touch it, saying it was for the concubine in Lanyuan..."

"Grandfather, look at this, what a disgrace!"

How could you give it to someone outside instead of your own daughter?

Although the girl from Lanyuan has been promoted to a concubine, how can a concubine be compared with the girls in the Marquis' Mansion?

The old lady glanced at Yu and asked, "Could such a thing happen?"

"This is not like Saburo's style."

The eldest wife hurriedly said, "That's not the case. The Marquis is now at an age where he should really get married. If there is no proper wife to take care of the house, who knows how chaotic the backyard will be."

Just as Yu finished speaking, she heard Chen Jinghao beside her whisper, "Grandmother, you may not know that Third Brother is actually letting a concubine manage his backyard affairs. I heard that Third Brother wants to hand over all the internal affairs of his courtyard to her..."

Since Chen Jingyan was not married, the household affairs were handed over to Su Ma, the old lady's maid.

The old lady naturally did not believe what the mother and daughter of the first wife said, but this rumor could not have come out of thin air. It must be that Sanlang said something to the people below.

After Yu's mother and daughter finished speaking, they saw that the old lady didn't say anything, but her expression was obviously not right.

After all, the Marquis was raised by the old lady herself, and Yu Shi did not dare to say anything bad about the Marquis in front of the old lady.

All I can say is that it was all done by Yunqiao from Lanyuan.

"Old Madam, aren't you looking for a wife for the Marquis? I have a niece from my mother's family. She's gentle and generous, virtuous and capable. She's been helping my sister-in-law with the household since she was young..."

The old lady glanced at Yu.

"As for your niece from your mother's side, to put it nicely, she's gentle and generous, but her appearance is inferior. You think with a beauty like Lan Yuan around, the third brother will be able to take a fancy to her."

"Stop talking about your niece from your mother's side."

"I have a plan for the third brother's marriage, so don't get involved."

The old lady was unable to respond to Yu's scolding in a few words.

Now, Yu's two daughters, Chen Yanhao, have already arranged their marriages and will be married at the end of the year. The marriages were arranged by the old lady. The family is not very high, but the wife she marries will be the head of the household. There is no mother-in-law in that family, so there will be no many problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Now that Chen Jinghao has reached the age of marriage, Yu also wants the old lady to help find a better one.

But the old lady is now worried about the marriage between Gu Heng and the Marquis, and has no intention of caring about Chen Jinghao's marriage.

When the mother and daughter walked towards the main room, Chen Jinghao was unhappy because her mother did not mention her marriage in front of her grandmother.

"Mother, you too, you promised me to let Grandma arrange marriage for me, but now we're gone and you haven't said a word."

"My sister is a bit of a sullen person, but she married into a good family. How am I any worse than her? I'm only one year younger than her. She's getting married at the end of the year, so next year should be my turn."

Chen Jinghao has big plans. She wants to marry not someone else but the eldest son of the Xianyang family who has a good relationship with the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Otherwise, there would be no need to ask the old lady to come forward to discuss this marriage.

"Why are you so anxious? If you act too eager now, it will make people think you are eager to get married. Don't worry, mother has thought of everything for you."

She had originally intended to tell the old lady about the bad things happening in Lan Garden so that she would be disappointed and stop caring about the Marquis's marriage, and instead ask about the situation in the first house. However, she only talked about her daughter-in-law Cai's pregnancy, but that didn't interest the old lady either.
