Yan Zhuyun said directly: "Why not? Since you despise her so much, as the mistress, I will take her away and raise her under my name. It has nothing to do with you!"
Aunt Lu wanted to say something else, but Nan Haochen grabbed her hand.
Then she looked at the wounds on the child's face and neck, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
So what if she took him away? His face was already disfigured. Could she still compete with her daughter for him?
Nan Haochen spoke up at this time: "Madam, Concubine Lu also suffered a lot during this childbirth. Since she cares so much about you and our daughter, why not make her your co-wife?"
"Let me help you with the affairs in the mansion!"
"Equal wife? Husband, you don't take the Queen seriously at all." Yan Zhuyun looked at Nan Haochen with a mocking look.
Nan Haochen made up his mind: "I am doing this for your own good."
"Well, if you want the power to manage the household, I'll give it to you. From now on, I won't be in charge of the affairs of the mansion."
"But she cannot interfere in my courtyard, and I don't care about other things." Yan Zhuyun had long since stopped wanting to care about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.
Without her dowry, this mansion would not be so prosperous.
Nan Haochen has recently gained some real power and has started to lose his way. It would be better to let go sooner rather than later.
Aunt Lu's eyes lit up and she was extremely excited.
Qiu Yinong directly handed the keys to the storeroom in the mansion to Yan Zhuyun, who placed them on the table.
"It seems that two warehouse keys are missing?" Aunt Lu suddenly spoke.
As if Yan Zhuyun had embezzled money, Qiu Yinong sneered, "Why didn't the Marquis tell you that those two warehouses are Madam's private property plus her dowry?"
"Or do you want to snatch away even the things bestowed by the Emperor?"
Aunt Lu glared at Qiu Yinong with resentment, but did not dare to confront her.
"Of course I wouldn't. Since it's Madam's private property and dowry, there's no need to hand over the key."
Qiu Yinong laughed out loud, then followed Yan Zhuyun out of Lanyuan.
"Ahhhhh... Lord Marquis, look at how that bitch treated me just now. Now that you've made me your equal wife, I'm considered half the master of this mansion, right?"
"How dare she, a servant, speak to me like that? And you won't help me."
Nan Haochen looked at her and said, "Lanzhi, that came from the palace. It was given to you by the Empress. You should restrain yourself and not be too presumptuous."
"That little bitch is back with her now. Will she treat our daughter badly?" Mrs. Lu asked Nan Haochen again.
Nan Haochen pondered for a moment, then said, "After all, she doesn't know whose child it is. How can she treat that child sincerely? She will only treat her own children better."
"That's true." Mrs. Lu leaned in his arms proudly, then circled Nan Haochen's chest with her fingers.
"That bitch has already drunk the sterilization drug and will never be able to have children again. My Lord, please let me give you another son!"
Nan Haochen looked at her and smiled happily instantly. He bent down, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.
The scene of Qiu Yinong scolding Mrs. Lu just now appeared in his mind. Qiu Yinong felt a chill and his face turned dark in an instant.
His hand moved slightly, and after a while, Nan Haochen, who was a little excited just now, lowered his head instantly.
No matter how hard he tried, there was no improvement.
Nan Haochen lost face and left Lu behind. Lu was so angry that she pounded the bed.
Yan Zhuyun, as soon as she returned to the main courtyard, asked Qiu Yinong, "Aunt, can this child's injuries heal?"
"Of course there's no problem, but we still have to disguise ourselves in front of outsiders." Yan Zhuyun agreed with Qiu Yinong's words.
After Jinxin was admitted to the hospital, she soon became white and plump, but a large scar was left on her face, neck and right shoulder.
The Lu family originally came from a small family, so how could they really manage such a huge mansion? They first withheld food from the servants in the mansion.
Gradually, the delicacies from land and sea decreased day by day, and finally became just three ordinary dishes and one soup. The meat dishes were very few and had to be distributed among several masters.
Even when the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion was chanting Buddhist scriptures, she was not someone who ate purely vegetarian meals.
Soon she became unhappy and gave Mrs. Lu a severe beating. Mrs. Lu did not dare to treat her mother-in-law harshly anymore.
But they reduced their income from other sources, and even sold some of the servants in the house, which was just enough to cover the normal expenses of the house.
Nan Haochen also began to become impatient with her and questioned her why the house had turned out like this after he had only given her the management for less than a month.
Mrs. Lu also had a lot of grievances, and in a fit of anger, she pretended to vomit.
Nan Haochen was unable to do it that time only, but recovered later. When he saw her vomiting, he thought she was pregnant again.
After calling a doctor, it was found that she was indeed pregnant. Mrs. Lu wanted to return the housekeeper power to Yan Zhuyun, but Yan Zhuyun refused to accept it.
In the end, the old lady took Lu back and found that the family was indeed in trouble without the support of her daughter-in-law. However, the family was about to have another baby, so she didn't want to treat Lu badly.
So she took out some of her dowry and gave it specifically to Lu.
However, Mrs. Lu was not pregnant. She was just pretending, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law and the marquis would take it seriously.
So she went to see a doctor and took a fake pregnancy drug, which would make her belly swell up as if she was pregnant, but she was not pregnant.
So she came up with a bad idea and asked people to find several women who were pregnant with many children.
He planned to wait for one of them to give birth to a son, then bring him home to raise as his own. Then, who would have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion would be another matter.
As long as she raised the child, it doesn’t matter whether he is her own child or not. As long as she is the mother of the prince of the marquisate, it is enough.
Yan Zhuyun saw all her little actions, but did not expose them. She just kept all the evidence.
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
The two girls have grown up. Jinyun is very beautiful, while Jinxin seems timid and inferior to others, and dares not look up. But in fact, she is raised very well by Yan Zhuyun.
She also learned all the truth from Qiu Yinong. The two little girls were very talented. Qiu Yinong passed on the internal skills to them. Jinxin was very good at light work.
Over the years, she has been causing trouble for her parents.
Now she is raised by Yan Zhuyun, she is very well pampered and is also a cheerful and kind girl.
She is also extremely intelligent, but never reveals it in front of outsiders.
Whenever Mrs. Lu saw her, she would beat and scold her, and she would just lower her head and endure it. Every time this happened, Mrs. Lu would feel very proud.
Then she left proudly holding the son she bought.
Just like before, Jin Xin waited for her to leave, then looked up at her departing back with a cold look in her eyes.
"Do you hate her?" Qiu Yinong walked out from the side. Her belly was still slightly bulging and had not grown bigger over the years.
