Tang Baozhu just felt it; his stomach seemed to rumble. He must have just gone to the Marquis's residence to get something and rushed back without eating.
I was quite touched, so I didn't think about doing anything else. I told him to quickly wash up and get rid of the dust, and we could talk about it later.
Yong Xingchen did not refuse. As for that Granny Yang, he could only talk to her about it later.
"Wait for me inside. We'll talk after I've washed up and eaten. There's something I need to tell you."
"Xingchen, go ahead, I'll wait for you obediently in the house."
After Yong Xingchen left, Tang Baozhu thought about what he had said he had something to say to her, but she didn't know what it was.
It must be related to the people in the Marquis's mansion. After all, he just came back from the Marquis's mansion. I just don't know if the Marquis and his wife know about my affairs.
Stroking her belly, Tang Baozhu made up her mind that no matter what opinions the Marquis's family had about her, it was none of her business. All she had to do was raise the child in her womb to adulthood.
Before she knew it, she had started to space out, not even noticing when Yong Xingchen came in. She was only awakened by Yong Xingchen's voice.
"What did you just say, sir? I didn't hear you clearly."
"Is pregnancy tiring, so you're not feeling well? It's not that I'm asking for a price, but I noticed you weren't saying anything when I came in, so I was wondering if you were too tired?"
Tang Baozhu smiled gently, "I'm not too tired, but I'm a little uneasy because I'm wondering what the master and mistress of the Marquis's mansion think of me after they go there."
Yuan Xingchen never expected that Baozhu was worried about such a thing. He went straight to bed and lay down next to Baozhu, hugged her in his arms, and gave her a reassuring smile.
“Baozhu, don’t worry. I’ve already told them about your pregnancy, and they’re overjoyed. When I came back just now, Mother even asked me to bring some nice things over as a reward for you. If you can give birth to the child this time, Father and Mother have suggested that we take you as a concubine, so that it won’t be a disservice to you. In case you have no experience with pregnancy, we specially called over Yang Mama to serve you. Mother actually likes you very much, otherwise she wouldn’t have called over the trusted Yang Mama to serve you.”
Tang Baozhu never expected such a good thing to be waiting for her. She originally thought that she could only have a proper title after her son inherited the Marquis's mansion.
Unexpectedly, the master and mistress of the Marquis's mansion had a good impression of him. They hadn't even met him yet, but they had already given him some good things.
Although she didn't lack anything, she was still very happy to receive something for free, and pretended to be very happy as she thanked Yong Xingchen.
"I must thank you for your generosity, sir and madam. As for whether we are equal wives or not, it doesn't matter. As long as your heart is with me, even if we live here forever as just the three of us, it will be fine."
Yong Xingchen thought the person in his arms was really too silly, but it was precisely because of her silliness that he believed she really liked him and really loved him.
It wasn't that he coveted the power of his own noble family; it was simply because of him as a person.
This gave him a urge to vent; he was incredibly excited.
He kissed Baozhu's forehead hard, and as if that wasn't enough, he slowly kissed his way down, from her forehead to her cheeks, and finally to her long-awaited lips.
Seeing how excited he was, and sensing the changes in his body, Tang Baozhu thought that she was already three or four months pregnant, so it shouldn't matter and she didn't make a fuss about it.
She wrapped her arms around his back, feeling the kisses grow stronger, and unconsciously let out a soft sound.
"Master~"
"I'm here, don't worry~"
Clothes fell to the ground one by one, and the bed curtains were drawn, obscuring the view inside. The scene could not be seen, and only intermittent sounds could be heard coming from within.
Xia Ju was guarding outside today, and as she listened to the intermittent sounds coming from inside, her cheeks involuntarily flushed.
I subconsciously took a few steps to the side until I could no longer hear the sounds inside before I returned to normal.
It wasn't that Xia Ju had any feelings for the young master; she was just an unmarried girl who was simply shy.
Xia Ju thought to herself, "The young master is so good to his wife. I am the head maid by his side. It can be said that when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs rise to heaven." She felt particularly proud and had an indescribable feeling.
Tang Baozhu woke up late again the next day. She blamed herself for being too greedy the night before, having pestered the young master several times. But she couldn't be blamed, since pregnant women also have needs.
After breakfast, he quickly called his servants to bring over the things the Lady of the Marquis's mansion had given him. After all, they were gifts from his future mother-in-law, and if the Lady of the Marquis's mansion found out about them, things would definitely not go well.
When the servants carried in two large boxes, I was really curious and quickly asked them to open them so I could take a look.
I didn't expect it to be full of jewelry. The items inside didn't look cheap. Considering that the young master said the Marquis's family was among the first batch of generals to enter the capital, it didn't seem so strange that there were so many good things inside.
"Madam, besides these jewelry and clothing items, the Marquis's wife also gave us a lot of fabric, especially various kinds of silk and satin, all of which are piled up in the storeroom. In addition to what was delivered last night, another carriage brought over a lot of fabric this morning. Besides silk and satin, there are also some particularly soft cotton fabrics. The old lady's idea is that those soft fabrics are for making baby clothes for the baby in your belly. If it's not enough, just tell her that she will send more next time."
Tang Baozhu was surprised that her future mother-in-law was so generous. After looking at the jewelry, she immediately had the servants move it into the inner room.
Then he couldn't wait to take Xia Ju to the storeroom. There weren't many things in the storeroom to begin with; most of them were things that Xiong Xingchen had seen outside and bought to put here.
But when she entered the warehouse this time, she found that the once empty warehouse was now completely filled.
This made Tang Baozhu realize the wealth of the Marquis's mansion for the first time. Although it was not as luxurious as when she was the empress, as the empress worshipped by the entire country, her things were definitely better.
However, the items that were sent over were not much different. She guessed that, apart from the fabrics, some of the jewelry might have come from the palace of the previous dynasty. They looked like precious antiques, but they were well preserved and would be fine to wear.
