So it turned out to be my fault?
Old Lady Lu glared at Lu Lingjiao until she stopped crying. Then she slowly said, "Are you sure they are the two young masters of the Qian family?"
Lu Lingjiao nodded with tears in her eyes. She was not stupid. If it weren't for the two young masters of the Qian family, she would not agree. She had no stepmother to make the decision and no sister-in-law to help her. If she didn't plan for herself, she didn't know when this marriage would happen.
The Marquis of Chang'an Mansion is the best marriage she can get. What's more, these two young masters of the Qian family are legitimate children. She is following the second young master of the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion. The eldest young master of the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion has been traveling around the world and his whereabouts are still unknown. Wouldn't the title belong to the second young master in the future?
Then she herself is the wife of the Marquis of Chang'an!
Thinking of this, Lu Lingjiao grabbed onto Old Lady Lu's clothes and cried, "Grandma, please help me!"
Old Lady Lu kicked her away and said, "Shameless thing! Take her away! Don't let her leave!"
Old Lady Lu was completely spoiled by Lu Ling. This girl must have wanted to climb up the social ladder, and ended up dragging her sister down with her. She was smart enough not to get pregnant, but Xiaojiu...
Old Lady Lu was in a state of irritation: "Where's Bai? Hasn't she come back yet? What did the doctor say?"
The old nanny replied, "The doctor is waiting, and Madam Bai will be back soon."
Old Lady Lu asked the doctor to come in and answer the question first.
Before the doctor could speak, his voice lowered two degrees: "Old Lady, although the young lady's pulse is weak, it can be confirmed that she is pregnant. It will be about a month. If we wait for a while, the pulse will be more accurate."
Old Lady Lu stared at the doctor with a gloomy look: "Does that mean it won't be concealed in a few months?"
The doctor lowered his head and said, "It's too late to take medicine. You have to make a careful decision."
What a sin! I have seen so many private things in the inner house that I can hardly save my life.
Old Lady Lu took a deep breath and ordered someone to present a generous consultation fee: "Please keep it confidential."
"Don't worry, I'm here to check your pulse today." The doctor was not a fool. He took the consultation fee and made a guarantee.
The doctor had just left and Bai Wanyi had just returned.
She was taken to the Eighth and Ninth Young Misses' courtyards, still confused as to what was going on: "Grandma, what do you want me for? Why are you still here with the Eighth and Ninth Young Misses?"
“Bang!”
Old Lady Lu grabbed the tea bowl beside her and threw it at Bai Wanyi: "I asked you to take your sisters to the banquet, but instead you're selling your rouge and powder everywhere. Are you working as a shop assistant? This is so shameful!"
Bai Wanyi stepped back hastily but still got splashed with tea. She frowned and looked at Old Lady Lu: "Grandma, what do you mean by that? My three younger sisters are all grown up now. Do I still want to tie them to me?"
"Besides, it's shameful for me to earn money. Don't spend the money I earn! You ask Wu to subsidize the family, do you think she will agree?"
Bai Wanyi was furious when he heard this. He opened his mouth and poured out all his grievances. "As soon as Wu Ziya came into the family, she took over the housekeeping power. So she can take it. There's no shadow in this family. Whoever is the housekeeper gets the subsidy. Isn't this a rule that originated from you, the old lady?"
"I took over the housekeeping duties and worked hard to make money to support the family. What about Wu Ziya? How much did she contribute? After she came into the family, all the money was paid out of the mansion's account? If you can't afford it, then don't eat, use, or buy anything."
"But have you ever looked at the household accounts? Your courtyard needs one or two ounces of bird's nests every day, Wu Ziya's courtyard needs one or two ounces of shark's fins every day, the young ladies have to make new clothes every day, and the children downstairs need to be fed, and the wet nurse needs to be nourished every day."
"The daily expenses are countless, and it's no secret that our mansion is in debt. But why do other families settle their bills at the end of the year? Why do we at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion settle them monthly? Isn't it because we're building a house during the New Year, and that's frightening everyone?"
"They are the merchants you look down upon! They are chasing us for debts! They are afraid that our dignified Pingyang Marquisate will run away! And yet, we still owe Your Majesty one hundred thousand taels of silver! It should have been repaid long ago, but Your Majesty was worried that Brother Yan was away in Shenyang for disaster relief and couldn't raise money, so he kept delaying it. Look, today Brother Yan came home and asked me for the money."
"Where did the money come from? Didn't I just sacrifice my dignity and earn it by selling things?"
Bai Wanyi nodded at his face and sneered, "If you look down on me, don't spend my money! You're so ungrateful, you want to tear down the bridge before you even cross the river. You haven't even returned your wish, but you want to destroy the Buddhist temple? Where in the world can you get such a cheap deal!"
Old Madam Lu was so angry that she fainted from suffocation.
The old woman's eyes widened as she repeatedly called out, "Call the doctor! Call the doctor!"
The room was instantly in chaos, and Bai Wanyi took the opportunity to hide behind. This was not because she was angry, no!
Chu Yun now understood what had happened, and quickly pulled Bai Wanyi aside and explained it to her in detail.
When Bai Wanyi heard about this, he didn't take it to heart at all: "Isn't it just a young couple who were in love and didn't seize the opportunity? Why are you panicking? Don't panic, watch me."
Bai Wanyi rolled up his sleeves and went to Lu Lingjiao's room first. Since the mistress of the house wanted to come in, the gatekeeper had to let her in. What's more, the old lady only didn't let Lu Lingjiao go out, but didn't say that she couldn't let anyone visit her.
When Lu Lingjiao saw Bai Wanyi coming, her eyes rolled around. Bai Wanyi had been very popular in the circle of wealthy ladies recently. No one knew how much money she had made, but the wealthy ladies were very fond of her tricks.
Lu Lingjiao quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Sister-in-law, you are here. You must make the decision for me."
Bai Wanyi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. Tell me, what are your plans?"
"What plans?" Lu Lingjiao was confused by her question. "After this happened, shouldn't they quickly come to my house to propose marriage and take me away in a grand sedan chair?"
Bai Wanyi frowned, thinking of the two young masters of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, but he couldn't remember what they looked like. In this era, the separation between men and women was so strict, and they could still steal time to get things done. It was really amazing.
Bai Wanyi curled her lips and said, "Do you really want to marry him?"
Lu Lingjiao didn't notice Bai Wanyi's expression, and was only busy reminding her target: "Of course, the one with me is the second young master of the Chang'an Marquisate, and the one with my ninth sister is the third young master of the Chang'an Marquisate. Sister-in-law, please don't make any mistakes. I don't want to marry the third young master. Although they are twins and look the same, one is the second and the other is the third. They are in different birth orders, and their future prospects are different."
"I see." Bai Wanyi nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll go see Xiaojiu."
Lu Lingjiao sent her out and then followed her to remind her: "Remember, it's the second child, not the third child."
"Remember, the bigger one goes with the bigger one." Bai Wanyi thought, what's so difficult about this? How stupid does one have to be to make such a mistake?
