Bai Wanyi turned around and slapped Wu Ziya in the face. "Why! Why! Everyone bullies her!"
Ever since I came here through time, nothing has gone well for me!
Her parents and brothers are dead, and it is not easy for her, an orphan, to make a living at the border.
After much difficulty, she met a marquis. In order to tie him down, she tried her best, but something still happened. Fortunately, the border was far away and they were able to keep it secret.
After arriving in the capital, he opened a shop, but things were not going well and his people were kidnapped and disappeared. After starting over with great difficulty, he still couldn't revive the shop.
Even now, after receiving the imperial decree, he is still overshadowed by his concubine who married later than him!
Bai Wanyi used all his strength in this slap, and Wu Ziya was unable to dodge it. She fell to the ground and was unable to recover for a long time.
"Yu'er!" Madam Wu rushed over to help her daughter up. With a glance, several servants rushed forward, grabbed Bai Wanyi's hair and yanked it down fiercely: "Are you crazy? How dare you hit a lady!"
"You're the crazy ones! You're all a bunch of lunatics! This world is a madman!"
Bai Wanyi was like a madman, waving her hands and scratching around, and several strong women could hardly control her.
Madam Wu supported her still dazed daughter and said to Old Lady Lu, "Old Lady, I hope you can give our Wu family an explanation!"
Old Madam Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and Eunuch Zhang was still here!
This Bai family actually started fighting with others like a shrew!
With trembling fingers, she ordered, "Tie him up and throw him into the ancestral hall! Go and call Yan'er back!"
Bai Wanyi was no match for four people with her two fists. She opened her mouth to curse again, but someone blocked her mouth with a handkerchief, and then tied the handkerchief and her mouth together with a belt. She was drooling and could no longer make a sound.
Eunuch Zhang watched Bai Wanyi being captured with regret, then said goodbye and went back.
When the emperor learned about what had happened to the Lu family, he was stunned: "This... is such a big reaction?"
"Yes, Mrs. Bai's face turned pale at that time. When she learned that Mrs. Wu's Shuren was one level higher than her Shuren, she slapped her." Eunuch Zhang was beaming with joy as he spoke, but he also lamented, "What a pity! The Marquis of Pingyang's martial arts skills were not good enough, but the maids in the mansion were very nimble and tied her up directly. I wonder how the Marquis of Pingyang will deal with this."
The emperor snorted and said, "The inner chambers are not clean. I hereby decree that those who are not in order will be fined three months' salary. Wu has been wronged, so I will reward her with a jade ruyi. By the way, it must be inscribed with the words "Inner Chambers"."
"yes."
Eunuch Zhang responded and went to make the arrangements himself.
Ever since Lu Yan resold the imperial gift, the emperor ordered people to make a batch of jade ruyi and replaced all the gifts given out with this one. It was a good omen and could not be sold.
Lu Yan hurried home, and the emperor's reward had already arrived. Seeing the emperor's attitude, he put Bai Wanyi under house arrest.
Although Mrs. Wu was not satisfied with the result, what could she do?
The other party was also the mistress of the house. Even though Mrs. Wu was dissatisfied, she knew there was no better way to punish her.
Before leaving, Madam Wu thought of something and looked at Lu Yan again, saying, "For the eldest son of the Marquisate, education is crucial. I've seen Bai Shuoren and he seems to have some issues. For the sake of the child, it would be best if he has less contact with Bai Shuoren."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law." Lu Yan replied in a low voice. Even though he thought Bai Wanyi had taught the child very well, he couldn't let Ping'er have any contact with Bai Wanyi under such circumstances. Let's talk about it after some time.
Wu Ziya was injured and didn't come to her senses until Lu Yan came back. She hugged Lu Yan and cried.
Lu Yan stayed in the main courtyard for a few days and finally coaxed Bai Wanyi into submission by using his utmost gentleness. Bai Wanyi was confined for half a month before being released.
Even though Wu Ziya still wanted to keep her under house arrest, she had no choice but to give in since the Fourth Prince wanted to see Bai Wanyi.
Wu Ziya's face hurt for several days, and she hated Bai Wanyi with all her might, but under Mrs. Wu's persuasion, she could only temporarily focus her attention on Concubine Jia.
Bai Wanyi already has a son, and if Concubine Jia can give birth to a boy, then Wu Ziya will also have a son. Of course, it would be even better if Ping'er died.
In order to protect Aunt Jia's pregnancy, Wu Ziya was extremely cautious. She no longer trusted the gynecologist who had treated her before. Not only did she change several doctors, she also hired a gynecologist who was good at gynecology to stay in the mansion. She also specially asked the Fourth Prince to invite an imperial physician to check her pulse every half a month.
Now Aunt Jia's belly is abnormally large, not like that of a four or five-month-old baby. Wu Ziya is very worried, so the imperial physician comes to check her pulse that day.
The imperial physician didn't want to come in the first place. How could he be so shameless as to take the pulse of a concubine in a marquis's mansion once every two weeks?
But the Fourth Prince spoke, and Wu Ziya was generous, paying a lot of medical fees each time, so he came willingly.
Today, the imperial physician took Wu Ziya's pulse and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam, it's twins."
"Twins?" Wu Ziya's eyes lit up, and then she asked, "Boy or girl?"
She knew that these imperial doctors had the ability to diagnose whether it was a boy or a girl. Before, the imperial doctors kept saying that it was not a long time and refused to say whether it was a boy or a girl. Now that the baby has been five months old, shouldn't they tell her?
The imperial physician looked at the maid's larger consultation fee and said with a smile, "At least a boy."
What this means is that there is a high possibility of having two boys!
Wu Ziya was overjoyed. She politely sent the imperial physician away and then went to touch Concubine Jia's belly. "If this is twin boys, I'll have two sons! It's better than the Bai family anyway!"
Aunt Jia looked at Wu Ziya in surprise: "Madam, you want to take them all away? You won't leave one for me?"
Wu Ziya caressed her belly lovingly and said nonchalantly, "Why would a concubine like you raise a child? When the child grows up, let him know that his brother, who was raised by the madam, is the legitimate son, but he, who is raised by you, is a bastard. What will he think?"
Aunt Jia's expression changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Thank you, Madam, for your consideration."
Wu Ziya snorted softly and said to her, "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger now, so why don't you move to the main courtyard? It will be more convenient for me to take care of you nearby."
"Yes." Aunt Jia responded. After going out, she was unwilling to give up, so she returned to the main room and wanted to ask Wu Ziya to at least give her a child to raise. Otherwise, she would not be able to raise a child after ten months of pregnancy?
The child of Concubine Qi is still being raised by the old lady, so isn't he just as close to her?
Aunt Jia was standing at the door and was about to knock when she heard words coming from inside.
Wu Ziya was happily telling her wet nurse about her plan: "As soon as the child is born, I will ask the Marquis to establish a crown prince."
The nurse frowned and said disapprovingly, "Young lady, this child is not your own after all. If you make him the Crown Prince right after he's born, what will you do when you give birth to your own child? No matter how good that child is, it will only help you gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. For the long term, it's better for you to have one yourself."
