Bai Wanyi thought of the vague rumors that had been circulating in the mansion these days. Her mind raced, and she immediately went to find Wu Ziya.
Wu Ziya didn't look happy when she saw Bai Wanyi. She said with a forced smile, "Oh, but my sister is here. Are you done with your work? How is the business in the store?"
It has to be said that the person who knows you best is always your enemy. Wu Ziya's words hit Bai Wanyi's sore spot. Her face twisted for a moment, then she said with a forced smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister. After all, it's my own business, and I have the final say."
"Unlike you, my sister, it's not up to you to decide whether to have a baby or not." At this point, Bai Wanyi covered his mouth with a pretentious gesture and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. My sister just had a miscarriage not long ago. Logically, I shouldn't have said that, but there are some things that cannot be left unsaid."
Bai Wanyi sighed, looking as if he was thinking about Wu Ziya, and said, "Actually, the best age for women to give birth is in their twenties. Your sister is still young, so there's no point in worrying. You're worrying here, while the family is fighting among themselves, while the people outside are doing well."
Wu Ziya didn't understand what she was up to and frowned, "Sister, just say what you want to say. I don't understand if you're trying to keep me in suspense."
Bai Wanyi was surprised. "Don't you know? When Miss Qin disappeared, Brother Yan was so anxious that he ran away after only a few words to us when he got home. Now I heard that Miss Qin is going to enter the palace to become the Crown Princess. Look at her life, what a good life she has."
Wu Ziya had a miscarriage, and everyone in the mansion was told not to bother her with irrelevant matters. Moreover, she herself didn't think of asking why Lu Yan hurried home and left in a hurry. She was immersed in the sorrow of losing her child, and all she could think about was how to fight Bai Wanyi.
No one knew anything about Qin Wan's disappearance, and the maids and servants around her didn't know either. After all, no one deliberately talked about it.
These days, what Wu Ziya heard the most was that Lu Yan seemed to have lost his old love for Qin Wan and wanted to marry her into the mansion as his concubine.
If anyone else thought about it, they would surely know that this was impossible. A family with one concubine is already chaotic enough, but if there were three or four wives, regardless of age, who would be the boss of the family? Wouldn't this disrupt ethical principles?
But Wu Ziya was different. Firstly, she was the first concubine in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Secondly, she had just had a miscarriage and was still not mentally recovered. She believed everything she heard.
She is willing to be a co-wife, but she may not be happy to see another co-wife who is on equal footing with her.
In particular, this co-wife might still be Qin Wan!
Wu Ziya is becoming more and more concerned about the baby in Qi Jing's belly. If the baby is a boy, then she can raise him by herself, and she will be one step ahead of Qin Wan!
But I didn't expect that Qin Wan would become the Crown Princess now?
Wu Ziya was stunned on the spot: "She wants to be the Crown Princess? How is that possible? She is a divorced woman! How can a woman who has lost her reputation be worthy of being the Crown Princess!"
Bai Wanyi agreed deeply: "Yes, but the Crown Prince doesn't think so. I don't know what Qin Wan did to make two powerful people fall head over heels for her. Alas...Brother Yan hasn't come back yet. If he comes back and finds out about this, I wonder how heartbroken he will be."
Bai Wanyi looked deeply at Wu Ziya and said, "If it was a dispute between you and me, and Brother Yan came back, I would definitely not let him come to your side. But now there is Qin Wan standing between us. I think that if Brother Yan comes back, he must come to your side first."
"Sister," Bai Wanyi grabbed Wu Ziya's hand and said earnestly, "You just lost your child, and you need your husband's comfort right now. This is reasonable. When Brother Yan comes back, you must keep him at home and don't let him go out and cause any scandal."
Wu Ziya stared at Bai Wanyi with her dark eyes, which made people feel scared. Bai Wanyi didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that she would say too much, so she told her directly: You should instigate Lu Yan to go and make trouble with Qin Wan, you can't let her get married in such a grand manner!
But she wanted to be a good person. Bai Wanyi quickly got up and left. When she reached the door, she pulled Wu Ziya's nurse and reminded her, "In this mansion, when it comes to considering my sister, Nanny is second to none. No one dares to claim to be first. Nanny must persuade my sister. You can quarrel with me at home as much as you want. Now that Qin Wan is about to become the Crown Princess, no matter what rumors you hear, you must not take them to heart."
"Madam, please tell my sister that she should be patient in everything. She is the future Crown Princess! Don't provoke her."
Bai Wanyi left after saying this.
The wet nurse pondered Bai Wanyi's words carefully, and always felt that something was not right, but it seemed that everything she said was right.
The nurse thought about it over and over again and couldn't figure it out, but what Bai Wanyi said was beneficial to her young lady! So let's do it!
The wet nurse clapped her hands and hurried back to serve her young lady and comfort her.
Wu Ziya's temperament has changed drastically since her miscarriage. Not to mention anything else, the people around her have been a little nervous recently.
After the wet nurse came in, several maids hurriedly retreated.
Wu Ziya saw her wet nurse and immediately took her hand and asked, "Nanny, go ask where my husband is? When will he return to Beijing?"
How could the nurse know this? However, she still comforted Wu Ziya in a gentle voice: "The prince has returned, so the marquis will naturally come back as well."
Wu Ziya was so anxious that she was worried that Qin Wan had seduced Lu Yan away. "Oh, go find mother and ask her to ask father when the Marquis will be back."
The wet nurse left after hearing this.
Madam Wu listened to her nurse's narration along the way, her brow furrowed. "Qin becoming the Crown Princess has nothing to do with us. If the Marquis of Pingyang really cares about her, isn't it a good thing that she wants to get married now? Why is she so anxious?"
The wet nurse then repeated Bai Wanyi's words of persuasion.
Madam Wu's brows relaxed as she listened. "This Bai has her own selfish motives. If Marquis Pingyang were to cause trouble again, it would be bad for the Lu family's reputation. Furthermore, her shop isn't doing well right now, and now that Qin has returned, she's sure to challenge her. She's showing kindness to Yu'er now, perhaps to show her loyalty. She's also afraid of a family turmoil that would keep her busy."
The nurse suddenly understood: "I have always felt that although what Bai said was right, it was not very comforting. Now that Madam has said this, I understand now. In the end, it was all for her own selfish reasons."
“人不怕有私心，怕的是没有私心。”吴夫人笑的胸有成竹，她丈夫靠着四皇子，未来一片坦途，女儿又嫁给了平阳侯，除了小产一事，旁的真的没有任何不顺心的地方了。
只可惜，女儿日后怕是子嗣艰难，如今平阳侯让抱养姨娘肚子里的孩子，倒也是好事一桩。
只希望女儿看得开吧。
