Hongye said, "How can Zhao Niangzi teach her child like this?"
Qin Yuan remained silent.
Zhao Niangzi succeeded in her previous life.
Xiao Hong looked up at Qin Yuan intently, her little face upturned. After a while, she said, "Madam, Cheng-ge'er and Yu-jie'er were crying so pitifully. Cheng-ge'er said that he's grown up and only now realizes that his father really is someone else, and he doesn't know what he looks like. The old lady comforted him for a long time, saying that telling him this doesn't mean she's abandoning them. As long as they're willing, the Marquis's mansion will do its best to take care of them. Yu-jie'er then asked..."
At this point, Xiaohong hesitated.
"What do you want to ask?"
Hongye pressed for an answer.
"They asked if it was true, as Mother said, that the Marquis had married a wife and wanted to have children, so he no longer wanted them. This made the old lady extremely angry."
Hongye's eyebrows shot up, and she said angrily, "You surnamed Zhao..."
Qin Yuan interrupted her, saying calmly, "It's precisely because they think that we need to tell them. Otherwise, if they continue to think like this, they'll only make more mistakes, and it will be too late. How can children not know who their father is? They'll find out eventually. The Marquis wouldn't do something like snatching someone else's child."
“Oh no,” Shi Heng said, seeing your vague answer, and gave you some snacks from under the table. “Let him rest for a while.”
As the head of a prefecture, it would naturally be too unusual for him to do so.
The head maid carefully carried the plate, bowed, and then went in and out.
The Marquis stood up, went inside, and sent someone to call Zhao Niangzi back. He sat down again and said indifferently, "What can you do now? The old lady has already taken care of the child. You just stay sick and abuse the child's body, which only abuses yourself. Cuiming is avoiding you as much as possible, and you are still in mourning... By the time you finish your mourning period, Cuiming will still have asked you to leave the mansion. As for before, you are heartbroken and will definitely try to get close to Cuiming. But without your husband's elders watching over you, you have more opportunities and can guard against it."
Shi Hengyu blinked and asked a few questions.
The Marquis said, "Let him go to the West Market to take care of his business. While he's at it, have someone send over a set of eight hundred thousand coins for beginners."
Shi Hengyu responded.
"Let me step back."
The Marquis nodded, opened the book, and found a set of primers printed on worn-out paper: the Eight Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic. The characters in the name were in large, neat, and beautiful regular script.
Since the Prince Qi's mansion has caused trouble, don't blame the madam for adding fuel to the fire.
He returned shortly afterward, his face beaming with a smile, clearly having received a reward.
It's time to make that big shot suffer a bit.
"He went to tell Manager Wu today that we should stop asking about the price of pepper, but just spread the word that the Prince Qi's mansion has learned something and wants to buy pepper, and the Marquis's mansion has decided to go to the inner region to purchase pepper."
Although I have been in contact with the King of Qi for a long time, I know very well that he is a cunning man who is full of sesame seeds in his heart. He knows how many twists and turns he can make in his words and deeds.
Shi Heng said, "Cui Ming's method is terrible."
You really did expect that Gu Shiheng would resort to that move, which can be considered a decisive blow.
But the thought of the reward money that Cuiming would give him made Gu Shisi feel tired.
Hongye thought about it again and agreed. However, she was still upset and said, "When you think about how your eldest sister was almost tricked by you as soon as she entered the manor, you just wish you could teach us a lesson."
After a while, Hongye and Xiaohong noticed that all the head maids were vying to get close to the Marquis, practically fighting tooth and nail for the job of guarding the main room during the day.
Hongye smiled and said, "Is Big Sister thinking about Cuiming?"
Hongye said, "Elder sister, the Zhao family is really not very thoughtful."
Even the Eighth Madam, an ally, was willing to put in the effort.
It's clear that the situation, though seemingly insurmountable, could be broken.
The Marquis also smiled.
In his previous life, Cheng Ge'er also used the identity of Lord Gu's adopted son when he went out.
Xiao Hong seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
Hongye followed Xiaohong inside and out.
The Marquis raised his teacup, quickly took a sip, and then said, "It's more frightening when your thoughts are hidden. Now that they've all been exposed, and everyone is confused, what can you do? You'll either find an excuse to get sick, turn a serious illness into a minor one, or simply stay in the Marquis's mansion. Next time, after such a scene, even Cuiming won't come to see you, and even the Eighth Madam is willing to spend time with you. Why is he still so angry?"
Running around dozens of miles every day, the round trip is easily over a hundred miles, it's really tiring.
Zhao Niangzi had a kind face and a smile on her face. She bowed as soon as she stepped out of the door and stood at the head of the table, waiting for the Marquis's instructions.
Xiao Hong also said fearfully, "What Brother Cheng said is quite frightening. It seems to imply that he wants Cui Ming and Eldest Sister to have a child."
The purpose is not to concern oneself with the Marquis's residence.
Xiao Hong's face also looked terrible.
Xiao Hong said, "But he's not exactly quiet. You've all gone to the Seventh Division to keep an eye on him. Doesn't he have a lot of things he wants to ask about?"
Upon hearing those words, Gu Jinghui wore a half-smile, and I knew then that my first wife was not stupid at all.
However, Cheng Ge'er was still aware of the situation and was tormenting himself inside Fengxuan Pavilion.
After receiving the reward money, I will also follow Gu Shiba's example and beg the madam to give me a share.
The head maid who was guarding inside spoke up to report.
"Madam, Shi Hengyu has arrived."
“That’s terrible. He sent it to the servants’ quarters, found Rong Mama, and said that you gave it to Da Hong to read.”
After a while, a maidservant came back carrying a large box and said, "Madam, this was sent by Lady Zhao. She hasn't paid for it yet."
"He said his wife bought an 800,000 yuan set as a gift for Da Hong?"
After I went upstairs, the Marquis stretched and said, "I wonder how Cuiming is doing."
