Chapter 221: Fishing Profits (Part 2)



As soon as Qian Ming went out, the Sixth Aunt, the Fifth Aunt and the Twelfth Aunt walked in.

The Sixth Aunt wore a scarlet rose flowered jacket and a red pomegranate silk flower in her hair. Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. She smiled and pulled the Twelfth Aunt to greet the Eleventh Aunt: "You sisters used to live in the same house. Now that your sister is married, you should get closer to each other."

Twelve Lady walked up to Eleven Lady gracefully, bowed, and called her "Sister".

Eleventh Lady had to give her a big red envelope.

The Sixth Aunt pulled the Fifth Aunt who was standing beside her and said angrily, "You always nag about the Eleventh Aunt every day, but now that the Eleventh Aunt is back, you hide away."

The Fifth Aunt avoided the Eleventh Aunt's gaze and smiled awkwardly.

Eleventh Lady stood up and called out "Auntie," and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." The fifth aunt shook her hands repeatedly, her expression showing a bit of panic.

The Sixth Aunt laughed and said, "Fifth Sister is so happy to have a dream about a bear!"

The whole room was silent.

The joy of Meng Xiong...that means she is pregnant!

A brother or sister who is fifteen years younger than me...

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

I think this is incredible.

I never imagined this in my dreams.

I thought that the Fifth Aunt had suffered some injustice in the Luo family, so I asked Amber to find out privately.

No wonder she was so evasive when I came back last time. I guess she was too embarrassed to talk about this!

While she was thinking, Fifth Auntie had already denied it flatly: "No, there is no such thing."

"Oh my!" Sixth Aunt smiled, her eyes falling on Fifth Aunt's belly, "I'm afraid she's pregnant now that spring has come. How can we hide it?" She smiled at Eleventh Aunt and said, "The eldest master has a son in his old age. This is a great joy. While everyone is here, let's tell everyone so that everyone can share in the joy."

The Fifth Aunt was so ashamed that tears welled up in her eyes: "Sixth Sister, stop, stop talking!"

The crystal tears were like a drop of boiling water falling on Eleventh Lady's heart, making it feel hot.

It’s a good thing that Fifth Aunt is pregnant!

What's more, she is so young.

Having a child by your side can also eliminate a lot of loneliness and solitude.

But the first wife...

She called out "Auntie", but couldn't help but look at the first wife out of the corner of her eyes.

The eldest wife had a ferocious expression on her face and was staring at the fifth concubine with a fierce look.

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she heard the extremely happy voice of Fourth Grandma: "The family is going to have a new addition, and we have another little brother. This is such a happy event!"

The eldest grandmother came to her senses after being yelled at by the fourth grandmother. She immediately looked towards the eldest wife.

Mother Xu was leaning over and talking to the first wife, blocking her view, so she couldn't see the first wife's expression clearly.

The grandmother's mind started to work rapidly.

My husband is the eldest son, and he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar-official; I gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Luo family, and I managed the household affairs without any mistakes. Even if the eleventh wife is noble because of her husband, and even if the fifth concubine gave birth to a son, can the status of my husband and myself be shaken by a child with an uncertain future? If so, why should I be cold and make others unhappy, and let the fourth wife get away with it for nothing.

"Yes! Yes! This is really a happy event." She laughed heartily, hugged Brother Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, you are going to have a little uncle."

"What little uncle?" Brother Xiu was confused, "Where did the little uncle come from?"

Xu Siyu lowered his eyelids and took a few steps back, standing at the edge of the curtain next to the floor-length cover, keeping a small distance from everyone else.

Zhun Ge explained: "He is Daddy's younger brother. Like my fifth uncle, he is my Dad's younger brother."

Brother Xiu still didn't understand: "Isn't Brother Yu my younger uncle? Why do I need to add another younger uncle? Then why should I call him Brother Yu?" He looked at Grandma in confusion.

Wu Niang, who was pregnant, covered her mouth and laughed: "Wu Niang hid it very well." Her voice was high-pitched, making people feel a little sharp, "Are you afraid that we will know and ask for your wedding wine?"

The fifth concubine is actually pregnant!

Now the eldest wife is paralyzed in bed and can't manage the affairs. From what the imperial doctor said, I'm afraid she won't get better. The eldest grandmother is the head of the family. It's not reasonable for her to manage the affairs of the eldest master's house. Originally, the eldest master asked the fifth and sixth concubines to manage the affairs of the house together. If the fifth concubine gives birth to a son... As the saying goes. A mother is proud of her son, and a son is precious to his mother. I'm afraid that by then, my younger brother won't even have a place to stand.

She couldn't help but glare at Fourth Grandma fiercely.

As expected, she is from a small family and has no brains. She even tried to cheer up Fifth Aunt and Eleventh Lady...

When Eleventh Lady heard Fifth Lady's unfriendly tone, she immediately stepped forward and blocked Fifth Lady behind her. She said with a smile, "I have heard people say that children are stingy, and it is best not to publicize it in the first three months after birth." She turned around and asked Fifth Lady, "Aunt, is this what I said?"

The Fifth Aunt looked at her daughter, her face flushed with shame: "I, I, I..." But she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Eleventh Lady smiled with a look of great joy, and asked Sixth Aunt: "Sixth Aunt, does father know that you are pregnant?"

This is exactly the effect Sixth Aunt wanted.

Although the eldest master handed over the affairs of the house to herself and the fifth concubine, ever since the eldest mistress knew that the eldest master often stayed in the fifth concubine's room, she only told the third concubine about things and ignored the fifth concubine and herself. It was obvious that she did not agree to let the fifth concubine and herself manage the affairs of the house. Who is the third concubine? Others don't know, but she knows it very well - when she was a maid, she often heard the third concubine cursing this and that in private. She is a kind-faced but cruel person. But the fifth concubine is different. She has a good temper, doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, and doesn't want to offend people. It is said that the two of them manage the affairs of the house together, but in reality, she has the final say.

Let her spit out what she has eaten, unless the eldest wife can stand up again.

Thinking of this, the Sixth Aunt smiled even more brightly: "Mother Xu said that the eldest wife has been feeling unwell these days, so the eldest master has been resting with the eldest wife. There has been no chance to tell her yet!"

The implication is that Mother Xu followed the orders of the First Lady and did not allow the First Master to get close to the Fifth Aunt.

As expected, everyone's attention turned to the first wife.

The eldest wife's eyes were slightly closed and her expression was calm, as if she didn't hear the noise in the room at all and was asleep.

"The eldest lady is not as healthy as before. She often falls asleep while talking." Mother Xu, who was standing at the head of the bed, said indifferently, "I am sorry for neglecting the two young ladies."

"Mother Xu, what are you talking about?" Wu Niang's eyes turned, "It's all because we, as daughters, are not considerate and disturb our mother from resting." Then she looked at Shiyi Niang, "How about we go to the east side room and sit down. It will also let our mother rest quietly for a while."

Eleventh Lady saw a trace of panic flash across Fifth Aunt's face.

Her heart moved.

Or perhaps, Fifth Aunt was unwilling to reveal her pregnancy purely out of fear.

So what is she afraid of?

Then I thought that before Luo Yuanniang, the master had no children...

Besides, the eldest wife’s body is just paralyzed, not her brain.

The coolness I felt when my fingertips stroked the sapphire seems to still linger in my heart.

Eleventh Lady was already smiling: "Fifth Sister is right, let's go sit in the east side room! It will also prevent us from disturbing mother's rest." Then she helped Fifth Aunt and went to the east side room while talking to Sixth Aunt: "When did Sixth Aunt know that Aunt was pregnant? Should we talk to father about this? Aunt is pregnant now, after all, so we can't let anything go wrong."

This is the father-in-law's house, and the eldest and fourth grandmothers, who are daughters-in-law, cannot interfere. Judging from the tone of the fifth aunt, I'm afraid she is a little worried that the fifth aunt's birth of a son will conflict with the interests of the third aunt and Luo Zhensheng. Look at the sixth aunt. She suddenly jumped out like this, and most of the time she has her own plans.

Eleventh Lady is not afraid of others having plans, but she is afraid of others not having plans. If someone has no plans, it is like a person without desires, which makes it impossible for you to start. If someone has plans, as long as you are willing to pay a price to exchange, there is nothing you can't do! The Sixth Lady chose this time to tell the Fifth Lady about her pregnancy, so she must have plans. Thinking that the Sixth Lady could come from behind and suppress the beautiful Fifth Lady, and tie with the shrewd and capable Fourth Lady, I am afraid she is not an easy person to deal with. She immediately decided to keep the Sixth Lady in her hands - with her by the Fifth Lady's side, the Fifth Lady's safety factor would be greatly improved.

Therefore, she changed her usual low-key attitude, not only straightened her back, and walked towards the east room with great momentum, but also hinted to the Sixth Aunt in no uncertain terms to tell the eldest master about this matter.

The Sixth Aunt was overjoyed.

You know, when they were in the Luo family, on the surface, Wu Niang always took the lead and Shiyi Niang always gave in, but what Wu Niang had, Shiyi Niang never lacked. At that time, she felt that this little girl was not simple. Later, she married into the Yongping Marquis's Mansion, and in just a few months, she was able to coax the Marquis to help Wu Niang to come out and support the scene, so she dared not underestimate Shiyi Niang. Now seeing Shiyi Niang suddenly become strong after changing her previous forbearance, she knew that Shiyi Niang would support her biological mother this time - which woman doesn't want someone in her natal family to help her gain a foothold in her husband's family!

"Since Eleventh Aunt has ordered this, I will go and tell the eldest master the good news." She responded with a smile, but then changed the subject and said that it was Eleventh Aunt's idea to tell the eldest master about Fifth Aunt's pregnancy.

Let her push the responsibility if she wants!

Anyway, I have taken care of this matter myself.

Eleventh Lady smiled slightly and did not deny Sixth Lady's words.

The Fifth Aunt was anxious and said hurriedly: "I will tell the Master..."

"Both sons-in-law are here, let Sixth Aunt go and tell Father!" Eleventh Lady interrupted Fifth Aunt with a smile, and helped her into the east side room, "Your most urgent task now is to take care of your health." She added, "Why isn't your maid with you? If there's anything, there's someone to do it for you. How can anyone feel at ease with you like this!"

The Fifth Aunt stopped and stared at the Eleventh Lady, and answered irrelevantly: "Eleventh Lady, I really didn't expect that I would be pregnant..." As she spoke, her face turned red, but her expression was very serious, as if she was afraid that the Eleventh Lady would not believe it.

Eleventh Lady suddenly felt very sad.

She has a gentle temperament and is inevitably cowardly, but as long as she thinks something is good for her daughter, she is willing to do it regardless of the consequences...

Today was not going well, but I have to learn to be a person who does not complain!

make a fist.
