Zhao Mingzhu is the niece of the Duke of England. Although she is a niece, she is actually the daughter of the old lady who is middle-aged and helpless. At that time, Wei Ling, who is still the prince of the Duke of England, has no children. He was afraid that the old lady would be bored, so he brought Zhao Mingzhu to be raised by the old lady.
Zhao Mingzhu's background was actually ordinary, but the Taifu treated her like a legitimate daughter, raising her like a phoenix. For this reason, Zhao Mingzhu was well-known among the ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital. However, by the time Zhao Mingzhu grew up, Yi Ning had already died. She still remembered Zhao Mingzhu because Zhao Mingzhu once sighed at her tablet: "What a miserable life! If she hadn't died, she would have been the wife of a marquis or a governor by now."
When she said this, there was a smile on her face and her tone was meaningful.
Yi Ning kept wondering what Zhao Mingzhu's smile meant. She had no grudge against Zhao Mingzhu and had never even met her in her lifetime. Yet, she always had the feeling that Zhao Mingzhu disliked her, even loathed her.
Fortunately, she was already dead by then.
Zhao Mingzhu would never do anything to a dead person.
Now, the old Duke of England should have died, and the Duke of England's son Wei Ling inherited the title, so Zhao Mingzhu's status in the capital has become higher.
People who had no chance to meet in previous life, met by chance in this life.
Yi Ning smiled and bowed, "Hello, Miss Mingzhu."
Zhao Mingzhu doesn't like others to be too intimate with her, and Yining still remembers it.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at her and said indifferently, "You and Sister Hui don't look alike. I thought Sister Hui's sister was taller."
Luo Yihui also smiled: "Yining just turned eleven, and he will probably grow taller in the future. You must be tired after coming all the way here, I will take you to rest first."
Following Zhao Mingzhu, more than ten maids and servants were brought in like a stream of water, carrying boxes and bags into the hanging flower gate. Xuezhi walked to Yining's side and said in amazement, "I asked Rongsui, and she said that Miss Mingzhu will only be staying for four or five days. This is too much..."
Rong Sui is Luo Yihui's eldest maid.
Yining whispered, "She probably still brought too little."
The prosperity and splendor of that aristocratic family was far beyond the reach of a family like theirs with only a hundred years of history.
After a while, Luo Yihui brought Yu Ge'er to Lin Hairu.
Lin Hairu, with a bulging belly, was directing the maids to prepare the meal. She looked energetic, rosy-cheeked, and seemed to have gained some weight. Yining, noticing her elder sister's arrival, stood up from her bed.
Yu Ge'er, in Luo Yihui's arms, had a pair of big, twinkling eyes. He tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, looked at Yining curiously, and asked Luo Yihui, "Mom, is this my aunt?"
Yining walked up to him and scratched his little nose.
Yu Ge'er was scratched by her and didn't react. He just stared at her blankly.
Yi Ning teased him and asked, "Brother Yu, do you recognize me?"
Yu Ge'er blinked again and said in a low voice, "Aunt looks like mother."
Yi Ning found him so adorable that she reached out to hug him. Yu Ge'er opened his little arms and came into her arms. Perhaps because Yi Ning and Yi Hui looked a bit alike, he leaned on her and soon became intimate with her. He giggled happily and played with the silver necklace on Yi Ning's hand.
Lin Hairu hurried over. Luo Yihui asked Yuger to call her. Lin Hairu liked the fair and timid Yuger and wanted to hug him too.
Luo Yihui stopped her: "You can't hug her now." Lin Hairu was pregnant now.
Lin Hairu chuckled, "How could she be so delicate? Even when my second sister-in-law was pregnant, she followed the mansion's steward to collect debts." Having said that, she sat down and asked Luo Yihui, "I heard that the Duke of Ying's niece came back with you this time?"
Luo Yihui watched her son having fun with Yi Ning, who seemed to have an inexplicable affinity for children. This might be because of her slightly round eyes and innocent appearance, which made her seem innocent.
"She's Madam Zheng's favorite, and she's been kept in her room," Luo Yihui said softly. Madam Zheng was the mother of Duke Yingguo, Wei Ling. "She came out this time because she was angry with Madam Zheng. This child is even more spoiled than Yi Ning. Madam Zheng has no granddaughters, and she was spoiled by everyone. You must be extra careful with her things. I'll have Rong Sui explain the details to you later."
Lin Hairu frowned: "Then why did I follow you back?" Such a delicate young lady is a hot potato. If you take good care of her, no one will be grateful, but if you don't take good care of her, there will definitely be trouble.
"She's just a little girl throwing a tantrum." Luo Yihui smiled.
Luo Yihui asked about Aunt Qiao.
No matter how hard Concubine Qiao tried, she was no longer favored. Later, Lin Hairu selected two beautiful maids to take care of Luo Chengzhang's daily life, and Luo Chengzhang rarely saw her. Concubine Qiao now had to come to Lin Hairu to pay her respects every day. Because Concubine Guo would come over with Xuan'er, she would come to see Xuan'er every day. Even seeing a red mosquito bite on his neck would make her jealous.
Luo Yihui held Lin Hairu's hand and said to her, "Mother, I won't tell you anything else, except this: a mother is strong. For the sake of the child in your belly, you must keep a close eye on her from now on." She paused, "Don't give her any chance to turn things around."
Yining listened to them quietly and handed the silver collar to Yuger. Yuger took the collar, but returned it to Yining and said childishly, "Auntie, hold it up high..."
Yi Ning pinched his little nose in feigned anger, and Yu Ge'er looked at her blankly again.
Upon hearing that Duke Yingguo's niece had arrived, Chen brought Luo Yiyu and Luo Yixiu to the second room. Luo Chengzhang, beaming, took his grandson to his study to play, tossing him around in his arms, delighted. After lunch, they set up a table in the pavilion outside the main room.
