The old lady looked at the concubines standing on the ground and served, "I declare now that if the lady is pregnant with a boy, when he is born, everything in this general's mansion will be taken over by him!"
Hearing her say this, Lian Jinyu was also surprised: "Mother, it is really too early to announce this matter now..."
"What do you mean by early? Zhongtao is the eldest son. If you give birth to a legitimate son, he will be a legitimate son and grandson. It is in line with the laws of Dongze and is in accordance with both etiquette and law. I, an old woman, just said it in advance. What's wrong with it!" The old lady said angrily, "I know you are kind, but you should also show the momentum of the mistress of the house. Don't be too kind. Do you hear me? You have to deal with those naughty ones. And even the concubine, I heard that you went to Qingran's yard to catch some men a few days ago. I think you are very confused. Now that you are out, you can save some trouble!"
Lian Jinrong was now standing beside the four concubines serving. When the old lady suddenly mentioned her, her face blushed and she didn't dare to say anything. She just said, "I know I was wrong!"
The old lady looked at her and said, "You know you are wrong. Don't think about useless things all day long. You are a grown-up now. Can you do something serious? Teach Mingxuan well! Madam doesn't have time to discipline him now. You gave birth to him yourself, so you should pay more attention to him!"
After hearing what the old lady said, Lian Jinrong was not angry. Instead, a smile appeared on her face. She seemed to suddenly understand something.
An Qingran was sitting at the table, with An Mingxuan next to her. He still looked like a confused child. He just sat there respectfully, staring at the dishes in front of him. She sighed for him.
An Zhongtao said, "Mother, it is my son who is incompetent. You don't need to be angry with her. I will discipline her..."
The old lady nodded: "By the way, everyone remember what I just announced, this matter will be finalized!"
Lian Jinyu wanted to say something, but just smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
An Qingran felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. In fact, what her grandmother did was right, and what she said was right, but why did she feel uncomfortable?
She couldn't think of it.
However, looking at the concubines standing behind her, she suddenly felt that the food had lost its taste. Before her grandmother came, she only saw them a few times a year. But now, everyone had to meet each other every night. She didn't know what her father would think.
Those four concubines are all young and delicate, and my mother is pregnant and cannot serve my father. My grandmother calls them every day, but what does it mean?
After all, he is her own son, so of course her thoughts are different from those of her daughter-in-law!
An Qingran thought that she might understand her grandmother's thoughts.
She never expected that what she thought was so completely different from what the old lady thought.
At the banquet, whenever there was something special, the old lady would always have someone serve a small bowl of it and place it in front of Lian Jinyu, fearing that she couldn't reach it. Lian Jinyu kept eating throughout the meal and seemed to be full in the end.
Back in the house, Lian Jinyu was walking back and forth on the floor. An Qingran was sitting there and suddenly said, "Grandma is too enthusiastic today, isn't she? It's not like you just found out you were pregnant today."
Lian Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the old lady is happy today!"
"I don't think so..." An Qingran said faintly.
"You are such a worried kid!" Lian Jinyu said with a smile. She was in a good mood because she was pregnant. Although something happened to Lian Jinrong, she still felt that everything in the mansion was on track. She had nothing to worry about. She just wanted the baby in her belly to be born safely.
She didn't expect it to be a boy like everyone else!
An Qingran smiled: "Yes, I thought too much, everything is fine now!"
She also didn't want to make her mother worry too much.
Just leave anything to yourself!
She didn’t know what other tricks Lian Jinrong could play!
Lian Jinrong returned to her room and laughed in anger: "I am so stupid! I didn't expect the old lady to use this trick!"
An Yanran said beside her: "Mother, do you think there is something wrong with grandma?"
"Didn't you hear it? Your grandmother's meaning was very clear. She first said that she wanted to let the legitimate son and grandson inherit the general's mansion, and then told me to educate Mingxuan well. I just listened to her and asked me to find a way to let Mingxuan take charge of the general's mansion!"
An Yanran didn't hear it, but she felt that her mother was right. If a legitimate grandson was born, they would probably no longer have any status.
So, she sighed and said, "It's just that Mingxuan is still young and doesn't know how to fight for himself. I think he and An Qingran have a pretty good relationship! It's better than my biological sister!"
"It's because you don't usually pay much attention to him. He's not a problem. An Qingran wouldn't use him for anything. What she has to do now is to beg God to give her a younger brother. Mingxuan is a pitiful child. He is the eldest son, but not the legitimate one, so he suffers such injustice..."
A trace of hatred flashed in Lian Jinrong's eyes.
Anyway, her hatred has never stopped.
After An Qingran returned to her own yard, in addition to continuing to practice the acupuncture techniques, she began to study various gynecological medical skills. She felt that she must know these in advance to prevent her mother from showing any symptoms. Although she also studied medicine, An Qingran really did not see any advanced medical skills in her!
Just do it yourself!
Anyway, her uncle left all his secret medical books to her.
All she needs is practical experience.
An Qingran started to grow herbs in her yard. She learned how to plant simple plants like asarum, wolfberry, safflower, and honeysuckle. She dug holes, watered them, and checked every day to see if they had survived. In short, she lived a very fulfilling life these days.
However, when I’m not working, I sometimes think of Dongfang Jin and his kiss!
After he woke up, it was as if nothing had happened. He didn't mention it, and of course it was inconvenient for her to mention it. She couldn't just go up to him and ask, "Why did you kiss me?" What were you going to do about it?
It sounded like he was the one who was supposed to be responsible.
In this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the royal family. Even if Dongfang Jin came to treat her occasionally, she just hoped that they could be friends.
She saved him only because she saw his precious qualities. Of course, in the previous life, Dongfang Jin's princess consort was Lou Wanyue, her cousin, so she had to think about her. In this life, she didn't want her to be a widow early. In addition, she wanted to use the prince to deal with Dongfang Ye. Dongfang Jin also saved her several times.
In short, she felt that she had countless reasons to save the prince.
