Chapter 179
After listening to the conversation between the few people, Aunt Li quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she stepped back and tried her best to hide herself and minimize her presence.
Zhang looked at Aunt Li's timid look and couldn't help but say, "I don't know why the master likes you? He will go to your room whenever he has time."
Aunt Sun, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said, "What Aunt Li has, we don't have, must be the skill of serving others seductively that she learned from the brothel."
Aunt Li's face turned pale and blue, but there was nothing she could do. This kind of thing happened so often that Aunt Li had gradually gotten used to it.
This troublesome matter made Zhang very unhappy. Looking at her daughter-in-law Du beside her, Zhang asked impatiently: "Du, how long has it been? Why is there no movement in your belly? Although you have given birth to a son and a daughter, it is not enough!
Jingyi is your father's legitimate son and will inherit the family business in the future. How can there be only one boy? Are you going to try harder? Sister Yun is already two years old. It’s been two years, why is there still no movement in your belly? ”
Mrs. Du smiled reluctantly and said quickly, "Mother, I didn't recover well after giving birth to Yun'er. Now I'm taking Chinese medicine to recuperate. Don't worry, mother. I will definitely get pregnant as soon as possible and have more children for the Yin family."
Zhang said with a smile: "Jingyi, that's such a good boy! He is not only kind-hearted, but also likes and respects you from the bottom of his heart.
After you got married, he didn't even want to take a concubine. Speaking of which, he originally had a maid who served him for many years, and that maid also taught him the ways of the world. In fact, Jing Yi originally wanted to send that concubine away and let her get married. but……"
At this point, Zhang paused, and then continued, "It took me a lot of effort to persuade Jing Yi to reluctantly agree to keep her.
Therefore, you have to work harder and get pregnant with our child as soon as possible. In this way, you can truly hold on to this boundless wealth and glory as well as Yier's favor! Don't let us all down!
If I can have many children and grandchildren in the future, I will turn a blind eye and no longer force Jingyi to take a concubine. After all, he is my biological son after all, and I really can't bear to make our relationship too strained because of this matter. ”
Mrs. Du, who was standing aside, also came from a prominent family. She was from a newly rising noble family and was from the same lineage as the Empress. She grew up in seclusion and received the most strict and meticulous education. Her every move and gesture revealed an elegant and dignified temperament, which was undoubtedly the typical demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
At this moment, when she heard what Zhang said, she agreed with it in her heart. She nodded slightly, her face showing respect, and then quickly responded: "Mother, you are right! I know that I have a great responsibility and will take good care of myself.
We will strive to recover our strength as soon as possible so that we can have more children and branches for our Yin family. I hope my mother can rest assured. ”
Zhang was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She never disobeyed her and always stayed by her side to serve her whenever she had time.
Zhang just raised her hand slightly, waved it gently, and looked behind her. Everyone followed her gaze and saw a graceful woman slowly walking out from the back of the crowd. This person is Yin Jingyi's concubine Ru'an.
Although Ru'an's dress today was only slightly better than that of the first-class maid in the mansion, she was, after all, someone who could serve Yin Jingyi personally, and she naturally exuded a temperament that was completely different from that of an ordinary maid. She walked with a light step and a swaying figure, and her every move revealed a sense of nobility and the unique aura of a person close to the host.
Soon, Ru'an walked quickly to Zhang's side, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. She first bent down respectfully, then quickly knelt on both knees, all in one smooth motion. Then she put her hands on the ground, touched the ground with her forehead, and said, "Greetings to the madam, may the madam be well. Greetings to all the masters, may the masters be well." Her voice was clear and pleasant, and her tone was humble and polite, which made people feel good about her.
Zhang elegantly picked up the cup of steaming hot tea, took a sip, and slowly put it down. Then she said slowly, "Get up! I called you up today because I have something to say to you. Think about it, you have served Jing Yi for many years, but why is there still no movement in your belly?
At the beginning, I thought you were smart and well-behaved, so I promoted you and made you Jingyi's concubine. Now that you have received this grace, you should do your best and work hard! Our Yin family is a famous and prestigious family, so naturally we need many descendants and branches to continue the family's glory and prosperity.
Do you really intend to be a maid for the rest of your life? Ru'an, you must seize the opportunity and work harder! Only in this way can I have more reasons and opportunities to further promote you and officially make you my concubine..."
Ru'an turned pale upon hearing this, and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and replied in fear: "Yes, Madam. I will do my best to get pregnant with the young master's child as soon as possible. I hope Madam can bless me and give me this opportunity."
Zhang said: "You two must work hard, otherwise, it is imperative for Jing Yi to take a concubine."
Zhang was giving lectures in the room, and the maid outside showed a happy expression and came in to report: "My dear masters, the two masters have returned from court and have just entered the mansion. They are now heading to Yimei Courtyard."
Zhang stood up quickly and said happily, "Madam Liu, please have someone serve the meal quickly. We can eat when the two masters return!"
Soon Yin Xu and Yin Jingyi strode in, and everyone quickly stood up to greet them. Yin Xu waved his hand quickly: "Everyone stand up!"
Zhang hurriedly walked forward and said with a smile: "Master, Yi'er, the hot water is ready, you can change your clothes!"
Yin Xu and Yin Jingyi nodded and entered the inner room. Several maids and old women helped them change into casual clothes. Then they went out. After Yin Xu sat down, everyone sat down one by one. After washing their hands and rinsing their mouths, the maids began to serve the dishes one by one.
However, lowly concubines like Li, maids like Ru'an, and concubines like Wang and Feng naturally had no chance to sit at the table. They could only stand aside and serve their masters while they ate.
Aunt Li picked up a piece of Yin Xu's favorite dish, put it in Yin Xu's bowl, and looked at Yin Xu pitifully. Yin Xu had just had a warm and affectionate time with Li last night, so he hadn't recovered yet. Looking at Aunt Li, he thought of something and asked quickly, "Didn't the Sixth Miss come back? Why is she gone?"
