"My mother still loves me."
Lianyi smiled and said, what if she had the upper hand in words? She wouldn't lose a piece of meat.
After hearing Lian Yi's words, Madam Hou nodded with satisfaction and instructed Aunt Yao:
"Bring a chair for Lianyi, and remember to put a cushion."
"Yes, ma'am."
Aunt Yao personally moved a chair for Lian Yi, then said with a smile:
"Ever since the young lady became pregnant, Madam has been thinking about her, but there are many things to do in the mansion, and Madam's health is not good, so she has not been able to visit the young lady."
"I'm old, I can't compare with young people."
The Marquis’ wife also sighed.
"A mother has her daughter in her heart. I naturally know that although you didn't visit me, you sent me so many supplements, food ingredients, and medicinal herbs. Everything is good for me. My mother-in-law saw it and said that I was favored."
Lianyi immediately followed up and said.
After hearing this, everyone in the room said that Madam Hou and Lianyi were a loving mother and a filial daughter, and they all praised Lianyi for being blessed.
"I don't know if the two children that the young lady is carrying are boys, girls, or twins?"
A sudden voice reached everyone's ears, and everyone felt the malice in the words.
After all, in the Dahuan Dynasty, twins were a bad omen. If they were a boy and a girl, it would form a "good" Chinese character, and it would be a good omen for the prosperity of the family.
Lianyi simply scoffed at such a statement. How could it be unlucky to have identical children, but lucky to have children of different genders? They were both twins.
Everyone in the room looked at the person who spoke, a young girl in her twenties. Seeing everyone looking at her, she frowned in displeasure, but did not say anything else.
"Miss Qian, isn't it inappropriate for you to say that? Isn't this a curse on Madam Lin?"
Said another girl who obviously didn't get along with Miss Qian.
"Madam Hou, I have no other intention."
Miss Qian said immediately.
When she saw Lian Yi just now, she didn't know what happened, but she just wanted to stab the other person, as if that would make her feel comfortable.
Lianyi naturally felt such blatant jealousy, so she just smiled and said nothing. She was a married woman and was a distinguished guest when she returned. The mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was right next to her, so she was too lazy to make herself uncomfortable.
Although the Marquis's wife was secretly delighted when she heard this, she could not show it and just said indifferently:
"When Lianyi is ripe, everyone will know. You young people don't need to stay here with an old woman like me. Go to the backyard and enjoy the chrysanthemums!"
The marquis's wife sent everyone in the room away with just two words, leaving only Lianyi to speak a few private words, which Lianyi handled perfectly.
"Lianyi, I feel relieved to see you are doing well. Otherwise, I don't know if my original decision was the right one."
Mrs. Hou brought up the old matter again.
"Mother, this is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go. I will take good care of myself, my husband, and our children."
Lianyi touched her bulging belly and said happily on purpose.
This caused Madam Hou's face to twist for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile:
"Okay, seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved."
"Mother, I'm a little tired now. I want to go to Bilan Garden to rest for a while."
Ripple turned around and said with a smile.
"You can rest assured. I have sealed up the yard since you got married, and I have not allowed anyone to touch the things inside. I just wanted you to have a place to stay when you come back. I even asked Aunt Yao to clean it up yesterday."
Madam Hou said with a smile.
"Mother is really thoughtful. My daughter will go over there and take a nap first, and then go to the backyard to appreciate the chrysanthemums."
Lianyi stood up with the help of Nanny Zhen, and said while stroking her belly.
"Go ahead! Rest well before going to the back garden."
Mrs. Hou seemed very happy that Lianyi made this decision.
After Lianyi stepped into Bilan Garden, Nanny Zhen went in first to check around, which made Nanny Yao and Nanny Sun look unhappy.
Aunt Yao, who was ordered to send Lianyi away, frowned and said:
"Madam, this is the old courtyard where you lived in the Marquis' Mansion. Why are you checking it like this? Could it be that the mansion can harm the young lady?"
"Madame Yao, please don't be angry. I just want to be at peace. Madame Zhen is also following Madam Lin's orders."
Ripple said in a low voice.
This made Yao Ma not say anything again.
After Lianyi was helped to lie down, Duoduo transmitted the message:
"The original body's mother is so vicious!"
"What's wrong?"
“See that potted plant on the windowsill?”
"I saw it. What kind of poison is hidden on it?"
"The leaves of those green plants were rubbed with a chronic poison. When not exposed to the sun, they are just ordinary plants. Once exposed to the sun, they begin to volatilize the poison. This poison is colorless, but has a sweet fragrance.
In order to cover up this special fragrance, the marquis's wife specially arranged for people to place some fragrant flowers in the house to cover it up.
You are a pregnant woman. After inhaling this smell, your body will become weaker and weaker, and you will not be able to protect the baby in your belly.
Moreover, this poison is not a strong one and will not take effect on the spot. It has a latent period of at least ten days, so the Marquis' Mansion is cleared of suspicion.
When something happens to you in the Shangshu Mansion, the people from the Marquisate can come to your house and ask you why you didn't take good care of her daughter. This is really killing two birds with one stone!"
Duoduo said excitedly.
"Fortunately, I have reached the fourth level of Qi Refining and have increased the strength of this body. The rest is up to you."
Ripple said calmly.
"Master, there is no need for me to take action anymore."
As soon as Duoduo finished speaking, a tornado had already swept the pot of problematic flowers to the ground. With a "clang", the pot was broken into pieces.
Fang Cao immediately stepped forward and picked up Xuanfeng, and said in a low voice:
"Xuanfeng, don't wake up the young lady."
"Meow!"
Tornado licked his paws, kicked off his hind legs, jumped out of Fangcao's embrace, then jumped onto Lianyi's bed, nestled directly beside Lianyi's head, curled himself up into a ball, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Fangcao waited for a long time and was relieved when she was sure that Lianyi had not woken up. Meizhi also immediately moved the broken flowerpot away.
In another yard, Xue Lianyi was sitting on the bed in a daze. She wanted to go to the back garden to take a look, but she couldn't show up in front of people now.
"Yumei, mother will get things done!"
Xue Lianyi asked as if seeking reassurance.
"Don't worry, Miss. Madam has been in the back house for so many years, she will definitely handle things properly."
Yumei said immediately.
"Help me put on my veil. I want to go to the backyard and show you around."
Xue Lianyi clenched her handkerchief and finally made up her mind.
"Miss, this is not appropriate. There are many people in the backyard. What if..."
"I'm just watching from a distance. I won't do anything out of the ordinary."
Xue Lianyi waved her hand.
"yes."
Yumei couldn't persuade her own lady, so she could only help her with makeup and prepare the veil.
When Xue Lianyi saw her own face through the bronze mirror, she opened her mouth in surprise:
"How could this happen? My face! Yumei, how could my face become like this?"
Xue Lianyi grabbed the bronze mirror and asked in a sharp voice.
"Miss."
