Chapter 408 Full Moon



This action made Qiu Yinong feel a little disgusted for no reason. This man is really a mean person. Tsk tsk.

After Nan Haochen left the main courtyard, he went directly to Aunt Lu's courtyard. Aunt Lu was originally sleeping. When Qiutou saw Nan Haochen coming, she hurried to wake Aunt Lu up.

"Aunt, the Marquis is here." Qiutou hurriedly helped her up and combed her hair.

When Nan Haochen came in, she was looking towards the door pitifully.

"My Lord, you are back."

"Why don't you rest?" Nan Haochen walked over and just sat down when Aunt Lu threw herself into his arms.

Nan Haochen chuckled: "You're already a mother, but you still love to act like a spoiled child."

"My Lord, don't you like it?" Aunt Lu asked in a sweet and naive tone.

Nan Haochen laughed and said that he liked her. No matter what she became, he would like her.

Aunt Lu was finally satisfied, and then she spoke hesitantly: "My Lord, I have something to confess to you."

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Lu got up from his arms, looked into his eyes, and told him about the child exchange.

After a slight shock, Nan Haochen asked, "So the one in the main courtyard now is your child?"

"Yeah." Aunt Lu nodded fearfully.

Nan Haochen's eyes flickered slightly: "Why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid that Madam will find out and make trouble for you?"

"I have been very secretive. I am afraid I will not be able to make it in this life. I don't want my daughter to be a concubine's daughter by my side forever and be bullied by the legitimate daughter, so..."

"My Lord, please punish me!"

Nan Haochen sighed: "You also want your daughter to have a good home. Now that you have done it, only you and I know it."

"Too many people, too many mouths."

After hearing what Nan Haochen said, Aunt Lu knew that she had made the right bet.

"My Lord, how can you be so kind?" Aunt Lu threw herself into his arms again.

Nan Haochen patted her back gently, not knowing what he was thinking, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In a blink of an eye, the child was already one month old. Today was the child's full-month banquet, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was bustling with activity.

Yan Zhuyun named the child Jinyun, and Aunt Lu was happier than anyone else.

But she gave her child a nickname, Jiannan, and told others that the child would be easier to raise. Originally, the child should have been named Jinxiu, but she refused.

I have to change one word. Jinxin, as the name suggests, means hard work, hard work all your life.

When Yan Zhuyun found out, she was angry and helpless.

I just wonder what Aunt Lu would do if she knew that she was her biological daughter.

At the same time, Yan Zhuyun was immersed in endless regret and heartache, because in her previous life, that name and experience belonged to her daughter.

But in this life, with the help of Lord Qiu, all the evil fell on Aunt Lu's biological daughter.

The two children's full moon celebrations were obviously held together. When Aunt Lu came out holding the children, not only the guests were stunned, but even Yan Zhuyun was stunned.

It was even more excessive than the previous one. The child was thin and yellow, wearing very worn linen clothes. Even though the child had not been carefully cared for since birth, the delicate skin was still scratched and swollen.

"Oh, Aunt Lu, you are still the concubine of this marquis's mansion. No matter how tight your financial situation is, you shouldn't be so poor as to not even be able to provide your child with a comfortable set of fine cotton clothes, right?"

The person who spoke was the head wife of a branch of the Nan family, and her expression and eyes were full of mockery.

Nan Haochen happened to be standing next to Yan Zhuyun, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"I don't think the Marquis' wife is the type to be harsh on others. Otherwise, based on her family background, she would simply not let you in."

"Why did I let you in and why did I treat you so harshly? Besides, you don't look like you're having a bad life with all the gorgeous clothes and red hairpins on."

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Haochen couldn't hold it in any longer and walked to Aunt Lu and blamed her.

Then he smiled at the lady and said, "Fifth Aunt, Madam didn't treat Aunt Lu harshly. Aunt Lu heard that it's easier to raise a child if he wears hand-me-down clothes."

"Yes, it was Qiutou who told me that old clothes were softer, so I brought these clothes from her house for my humble daughter to wear."

"Oh, what's the matter with this name?" the lady spoke again.

Now, the other ladies, guests and female relatives also spoke up.

"Why did you give such a good girl such a name? Even if it's a mean name, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Who said it wasn't true? Or is it that Aunt Lu disliked the fact that she gave birth to a girl, so she did this on purpose?"

"Look at her. She's wearing all these jewels, and her child is wearing the same thing."

"I can understand that. She's just a concubine. From a humble family, it's normal for her to not be able to show herself to the public."

Listening to the words of these ladies and female relatives, Aunt Lu's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Look at this precious girl raised by the Marquis' wife. She is white and plump, and she is very pleasing to the eye. Look at her big, black eyes. I want to steal her back just by looking at her."

The lady who was speaking was the wife of Marquis Qingyuan. She had just given birth to a boy three months ago.

Now that I see such a rare girl, I am naturally happy.

Soon everyone's attention was attracted to Xiao Jinyun. When Aunt Lu saw that everyone was praising the eldest lady, her expression improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seemed as if those words were praising her, and the female relatives couldn't help but complain in their hearts, "Is Aunt Lu sick?"

"Madam, this is what I prepared for the eldest lady. Please don't mind it." Aunt Lu gestured for another maid to come forward.

He opened the brocade box with a look of joy on his face, and the people around him couldn't help but gasp.

Oh, what a big deal.

A complete set of pure gold jewelry, a gold Ruyi lock necklace, a pair of gold bracelets, and a pair of gold anklets.

"Is this Concubine Lu trying to please the mistress?"

"Who knows?"

"Mrs. Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but this set of gold jewelry is too valuable. As a mistress, your monthly allowance is not much, so please leave it for the second young lady."

"How could she deserve such a good thing? Such a good thing should be given to the eldest lady."

Aunt Lu acted as if it was a matter of course. Yan Zhuyun's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled gently.

"They are both daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, so there is no question of whether they are compatible or not."

Aunt Lu wanted to say something when Qiu Yinong came in with two palace maids in palace costumes.

"Madam, the Queen has given something down." After saying that, she waved her hand and two palace maids came forward.

A pair of jade ruyi of excellent quality and a pair of fine jade bracelets.

A gold-inlaid jade Ruyi necklace and a set of fine gold-inlaid jade head ornaments.

When Aunt Lu saw the things sent by the Queen, she was not angry at all. Instead, her body began to tremble with excitement.

When Aunt Wu saw this, she almost couldn't help but shout that she was really sick.
