After thinking for a moment, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang comforted Gu Tingyu, saying, "Brother Yu, it's okay. You're still young, and you have the opportunity to correct your mistakes. As long as you behave properly, you will naturally be the first to inherit the title as the eldest son and in good health. Besides, your biological mother is the one your father loves the most. As long as your father is alive, the title will definitely be yours."
The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang had said this to Gu Tingyu in the past. She had been confident when she said it before, but now she was unsure. If Bai died, the Marquis of Dongchang could marry another daughter into the family. Even if Yu'er's health failed, wouldn't the title still belong to the child of the Qin family's daughter?
Now it seemed they were wrong. This Bai family member was not easy to deal with, and she had so many handles on them. I was afraid I would have no chance to do anything in the future.
Thinking of this, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang could not help but sigh softly. Gu Tingyu asked puzzledly: "Grandma, are you disappointed with Yu'er?"
The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang shook her head and said, "That's not true. How is our brother Yu doing with his studies recently? Talk to Grandma about it."
After talking about his lessons for a quarter of an hour, Gu Tingyu coughed for a long time again. The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang looked at Gu Tingyu who was about to cough out his lungs, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
After walking out of Gu Tingyu's yard, the wife of Marquis Dongchang was worried, completely different from the high-spirited look when she came.
Soon, Madam Chang arrived. She bowed slightly and said, "Madam Hou, my wife has agreed to this request with reluctance, considering that you are the mother of the late Madam. The day the deed is delivered, you will be taken out of the palace."
Spending money to ward off disaster, giving these things from the dowry to Bai Shi would be like cutting her flesh. The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, thank your wife for me."
After leaving the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion and getting on the carriage, the wife of the Dongchang Marquis pinched the woman's thigh. The woman silently let the wife of the Dongchang Marquis pinch her flesh.
The old woman gently persuaded the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang: "Miss, a wealthy family like ours should just give that bitch some food as alms. Just treat her as a beggar and do good deeds to accumulate virtue."
After hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang calmed down. She loosened her grip and said, "Xiao Qian, I've wronged you for following me for so many years."
The old woman immediately bent down and said, "I'm not wronged. I'm not wronged at all. It's my heart that the young lady has been wronged."
After helping the old woman up, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang said, "Hmph, a merchant's daughter dares to offend me. If I can't deal with you, how can I deal with your family?"
After thinking for a moment, the wife of the Marquis of Dongchang said, "Doesn't our family have a cousin who is now the Imperial Salt Inspector?"
The old woman knelt down and replied, "I do have this impression. I will send someone to ask after I return."
The wife of the Marquis of Dongchang nodded and stared at the curtain of the carriage, her eyes full of malice.
When Chang's mother returned to the main courtyard, Bai was selecting patterns. She wanted to make some clothes for the child after the confinement period, so the two of them chose some patterns together. For Ye'er, they chose a little tiger, a little monkey, and a little horse, while for Can'er, they chose hibiscus, a magpie, and a butterfly.
It's hard to sew during the confinement period, so after choosing patterns, the two of them moved on to fabric. Actually, Bai had already done quite a bit of sewing during her pregnancy. However, she was a bit sleepy during her pregnancy, and with time being a squeeze, she only made some autumn and winter clothes and shoes. Now they were preparing clothes and bellybands for summer.
