"What are you saying about Mother? It's all because I, as her daughter-in-law, can't satisfy her. That's why she nitpicks and finds fault with me everywhere. She also blames me for not being able to have another child for you. Anyway, I'm probably powerless. If it really doesn't work, I'll find someone else to have the baby."
Upon hearing this, Yong Xingchen was furious. He felt that Baozhu didn't care about him, otherwise why would she push him away?
Seeing Baozhu's tears streaming down her face, he couldn't bear to scold her, so he could only comfort her by holding her in his arms. "Alright, I didn't say anything, why are you crying? I'll talk to Mother about it. Don't go to pay your respects there unless it's absolutely necessary, so that Mother won't feel unhappy when she sees you."
This is truly a filial son to his parents. In order to prevent his wife from being wronged, he simply decided not to go to pay his respects and to separate the two of them. This idea is indeed quite good.
She thought that the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion would hate her even more by then, but she didn't care anymore. So what if she was hated? She liked the feeling of being hated but unable to get rid of.
If we don't want to coexist peacefully, then let's all hurt each other.
"I'm heartbroken, but for the sake of the Marquis's descendants, I have to bear the pain and push you to someone else. But you don't understand me at all. I'm so sad."
Hearing this, Yong Xingchen was pleased. He knew that he was irreplaceable in Baozhu's heart, and that she must have been just being stubborn but soft-hearted to say those things.
“Baozhu, don’t be sad. I won’t go to anyone else’s place because you are all I think about now. If you’re worried, I’ll send all the concubines and maids in the back courtyard away and let them remarry. Then I’ll stay with you and live our lives. Anyway, it’s pretty much the same now. It’s just the two of us living together. I haven’t been to their place for over a year, and they’ve gotten used to it.”
Tang Baozhu thought it sounded pretty good, even though those people didn't come out much, it was still quite annoying.
"I must prepare a dowry for them. After all, they have followed me for a while, so I can't let them marry into a poor family."
"My precious pearls are kind-hearted. Don't worry, the Marquis's mansion doesn't lack a few measly things. As long as they obediently leave the mansion, they will definitely not be shortchanged."
"Since I don't have anything else to do right now, I'll take care of these things first, and while I'm at it, I'll go see my mother. I can't let her blame you for this, and I'll also tell her not to pressure you to have children anymore. She knows the Marquis's family has few heirs, so why make such a fuss?"
Yong Xingchen felt that since he had thought of it, he should put it into practice as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to marry those people off so that they wouldn't get in Baozhu's way.
It can only be said that when a man likes a woman, he will consider everything for her and worry about making her unhappy.
If you don't like them, they'll be kicked out like those concubines.
Although his behavior was quite despicable, Tang Baozhu was still quite satisfied, at least from now on the communal cucumbers would truly belong to her alone.
"Then you should go quickly. I'll sort out the shop's accounts again. It seems like we've had a lot more orders lately, and business is getting better and better."
"I know about that. I heard that wealthy merchants from Jiangnan came here to buy goods, so more and more goods are being sold. You can take your time sorting things out. I'll go now."
After watching Yong Xingchen leave, Tang Baozhu nodded in satisfaction. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are often at odds, and she couldn't confront her because of filial piety. But her son had lashed out at her, which must have been unbearable for her.
Although her mother-in-law knew immediately that it was she who had sent Yong Xingchen to cause trouble at her place, she wasn't afraid of her mother-in-law finding out.
You need to let her know that although I can't deal with you, I can let your son deal with you.
After leaving the main house, Yong Xingchen first sent Shuyan to tell the concubines and maids that the master had approved their remarriage and that they should pack their things today so that he could send them home tomorrow.
Of course, only a few concubines left willingly. After all, the Marquis's mansion was so wealthy that even without favor, they would not lack anything. How could they bear to leave the Marquis's mansion?
On the surface, they spoke in a particularly pitiful manner, saying that they were sold by their families when they entered the Marquis's mansion, and that if they left, they would be sold again, hoping that the Marquis's mansion would take pity on them.
They were all women, and Tang Baozhu immediately saw through their thoughts. They just wanted to stay in the Marquis's mansion, but unfortunately, she disagreed.
Suddenly I felt like I was playing the villainous female supporting character, which was quite interesting.
Since none of them wanted to leave, Tang Baozhu simply told Shuyan to send them to the Marquis's estate in the suburbs of the capital. Anyway, there were several estates in the suburbs of the capital, so she could just find an ordinary one and put them in.
Life on the estate was not as good as at the Marquis's mansion. Since they did not want to leave, the Marquis's mansion would take care of them in their old age, but how they lived would not be their choice.
Mr. and Mrs. Yong were playing with their grandson when they saw their son coming over.
She was initially quite happy, smiling and inviting him to come and see his son.
Who knew that after glancing at his son, Yong Xingchen would launch a tirade against his parents, "Father, Mother, I hope you will stop targeting Baozhu in the future. Others may not know the situation of our Marquis's mansion, but do you and Mother not know? It has always been a single-son lineage. I am already very content with having one son. I have never thought about having another one. Mother did not give me a younger brother or sister back then, so how can you expect Baozhu to give An'an a younger brother or sister?"
"As the saying goes, 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' What Mother and Father have failed to do for decades, Baozhu cannot do now, even if you keep urging her. I hope Mother will stop pressuring Baozhu to have children."
Before Yong's father and mother could react, they were rendered speechless by their son's barrage of words. When they came to their senses, they were filled with boundless anger.
Yong's father felt that his son was far too disrespectful to his mother, which was considered extremely unfilial by the standards of men in ancient times.
Mother Yong simply felt that her son had been bewitched by a vixen, and that he was no longer her good son. She also felt as if her son had been stolen away by someone else.
At this moment, she felt none of the joy she had when she first learned that Baozhu was pregnant.
