Chapter 11: Success



There was innocence in her words. She reached out her hand and pulled the Third Madam with heartache: "Auntie loves me, so I naturally love her too."

"Besides, I've thought about it. No matter how much Auntie can help me, I will eventually get married in the future, and I won't be able to help Auntie after I get married..."

She looked at the Third Madam with a pleading look in her eyes, but how could the Third Madam have time to lie now? Get a few people to fool around with Jiang Ruohua?

Without Jiang Ruohua as a springboard, how could her daughter get in touch with the royal family?

The Third Madam was indeed a little exhausted from all the hard work, and at this time, her aunt happened to be pregnant, which was another thing to deal with. Jiang Ruohua's suggestion was normal. Any younger generation who loved their elders would do the same.

"This..." The Third Lady hesitated, "Hua'er, there are a lot of things to do in this mansion, and many of them cannot be mastered in a short period of time. Why not wait until this period of time is over, and then let Auntie take you to familiarize yourself with these?"

"Being the head of the household is also a science. Before you get married, Auntie will teach you well. Now that you have this intention, Auntie is already very satisfied. What's more, you have injured your foot now, and it is a little inconvenient for you to move. Let's talk about it after you recover."

Jiang Ruhua listened, pretended to be slightly aggrieved and lowered her head: "Okay...it turns out to be so complicated. I just thought that if I could do something to help, it would also make Auntie feel more relaxed."

After saying that, she was neither discouraged nor impatient. How could the Third Lady be exposed by her words? She picked up her smile again and waved to Hua Chan.

"Auntie, I brought some things for Auntie." Jiang Ruohua took the things from Hua Chan, happily brought them to Auntie Yuan and said, "I heard from the old maids in the mansion that pregnant people have a particularly hard time, as one person has to eat for two people. Auntie must have a hard time carrying my brother. It happened that I got some supplements before the New Year, so I gave them to Auntie."

Auntie Yuan was sitting on the bed, and she did look haggard. She had vomited violently at this moment, and her smile seemed a little forced: "Thank you, young lady."

"Auntie, you don't have to be polite. You must take good care of yourself and give birth to a healthy boy!"

There was nothing wrong with every word of these words, and they were words that an innocent girl would say, but there was no doubt that every word hit the Third Lady in the chest, making her feel constantly irritated.

"I remember these things. They were all given to you by your maternal grandparents years ago, right?" Jiang Ruoting said with a smile as she stood aside. "Auntie is so lucky. What you give me must be the best. This little brother will surely be born plump and white because you love him so much."

Auntie Yuan thanked them one by one. Everyone gathered around her belly, and seemed to be full of expectations for this little life.

"That's right." Jiang Ruoting said to Jiang Ruohua intimately, "Since elder sister likes the little brother in aunt's belly so much, why don't mother let elder sister come to look after aunt? It's hard to be pregnant, and the fifth sister is young and doesn't understand. The eldest sister is the most stable and can help mother share some of the burden. How about this?"

Jiang Ruohua's eyes lit up when she heard it: "This is a good idea! Or is the second sister's idea good? What do you think, aunt? Why don't you let me try!"

Aunt Yuan hurriedly refused: "No, no, I am a humble concubine, how can I trouble the eldest lady to take care of me!"

"You two are making trouble again." The third lady glanced at the two of them, "Girls, how do you know about childbirth? Aunt Yuan has given birth, you two should not make trouble here, no matter how much you like your brother, you can't be like this."

"No nonsense, aunt." Jiang Ruohua said expectantly, "It is precisely aunt who understands these things. I just need to do whatever she needs and help her make thorough arrangements. The most important thing is the little brother in aunt's belly. I am looking forward to it. Aunt, please agree to me! Besides, I have maids to serve me, so this foot injury will not affect it."

"Mother, just agree. You've been really hard these days, and your daughter is really distressed to see it." Jiang Ruoting turned around and walked to the third lady and begged, "Besides, there are servants here, and there are also experienced old maids in the mansion. Big sister is worried about mother, and she also wants to share mother's worries, right?"

Left and right, the third lady gave up: "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you."

After giving many instructions, the people in the courtyard dispersed. Jiang Ruohua did a good job. She also asked someone to change the comfortable mattress, change the incense burner to a comfortable fragrance for Aunt Yuan, and then the food and pregnancy medicine.

Aunt Yuan sat upright, a concubine was indeed uneasy to be taken care of by the eldest lady in the mansion.

I thought it would be better to keep it a secret for a while, but I didn't expect that it would be bumped into by the eldest lady.

Jiang Ruoqi watched from the side. She was young, a head shorter than Jiang Ruohua, and looked a little timid.

"I asked someone to bring some snacks and preserved fruits. Auntie will take the abortion medicine later. Eat some after drinking to get rid of the bitter taste." Jiang Ruohua said with a smile, "There are also some that Fifth Sister likes to eat. Let's take some together."

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss." Aunt Yuan smiled. "

Then Auntie, have a good rest. If there is anything, remember to ask someone to tell me."

"Miss, take care." Aunt Yuan bowed carefully, obviously looking heavy, and then said, "Please ask Fifth Miss to see Miss off."

Little Jiang Ruoqi nodded and walked to the door with Jiang Ruohua.

"I'll see you off, Big Sister." Jiang Ruoqi stood beside her and looked at Jiang Ruohua.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruohua's eyebrows curved. The Jiang family was not large, and since the grandfather, there had been no deliberate distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. The first and second houses were sparsely populated, but the sisters had always been close. "Fifth sister, do you eat well on weekdays? I see that you have lost a lot of weight, but don't care about your beauty and not take care of your body."

Jiang Ruoqi pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, elder sister."

"Why should we be polite to each other, sisters?" Jiang Ruohua conveyed her goodwill to her. "It just so happens that I have some egg custard and fish soup warming up on my stove, along with some seasonal vegetables and side dishes. I can't finish them all by myself, so Fifth Sister, take some back. Oh, and there are some newly made pastries. I thought they would be appetizing as summer is coming, and now I think Aunt Yuan will like them too. Take more."

Jiang Ruoqi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but nodded anyway. Jiang Ruohua looked at her sincerity, and no one could refuse.

Jiang Ruohua lived a little far from the East Courtyard of the Third House, and all the food was prepared in the Second House's kitchen, so she could eat whatever she wanted in the kitchen, and she could always see something different from the Third House.

She generously packed a lot of food for Jiang Ruoqi to take back. The maids beside Jiang Ruoqi held a lot of food boxes in their hands. When she returned, Jiang Ruoqi turned around and said, "Big sister is so good to Qi'er. Can I come again in the future?"

"Of course, why should we be polite to each other as sisters?" Jiang Ruohua touched her head, "Go back quickly, it's getting dark, and your aunt will be worried about you. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm your big sister after all."
