Chapter 1547 Don't worry
Zhulan did not comfort Liu Jia. She stood up slowly and patted her eldest daughter-in-law on the shoulder. "You manage the household accounts well. I believe you can handle today's matter."
Since she had to let go of the eldest couple, she did it quickly. Although the Zhou family had done nothing wrong, Li had seen a lot of other people's families, and she trusted Li.
Mrs. Li is no longer the same Mrs. Li as before. Just now, her mind was on her daughter-in-law. Now she still doesn't understand what is going on. She is so angry that she asks, "Mom, are you really going to let my daughter-in-law handle it?"
Zhulan, "Yeah."
"How can I handle it?"
Zhulan has already put on her cape, "Yes."
Li immediately became confident, "Mom, I'll take you out."
"No, it's very cold outside, I can just walk by myself."
"Mom, please slow down."
"Um."
After leaving the yard, Qingxue asked in a low voice, "Madam, are you really not going to care?"
Zhulan, "The eldest couple are the future Marquis and his wife of Zhou. Only if I let go completely can they grow up quickly. Besides, if anything goes wrong in the mansion, I will take care of it."
In recent years, Li, the eldest daughter-in-law, has lacked power in the eyes of the servants. But things changed after she became the Crown Prince's wife. As her power grew, the servants in the mansion respected Li, but it was not enough. Li wanted to establish her authority and let all the servants know that she was the future marquis' wife.
Li returned to the room without saying a word. She waited for the medicine to be boiled and watched Liu Jia drink it. She waited for a while until Liu Jia's breathing became stable before Li sat down beside the bed.
Liu Jia was not sleepy at all. Today's mother-in-law made her feel strange. "Mom."
Li, "You are a thoughtful person. There is nothing wrong with being thoughtful, but being too thoughtful is not good."
My second brother’s wife is a meticulous person. She felt tired just by looking at her at first, and now her own daughter-in-law is the same. She feels tired.
Liu Jia bit her lip, "Mom, I."
Li raised her hand and said, "I know you are under a lot of pressure. You should have known when you got engaged that you should have been prepared to face problems from engagement to marriage. Offspring is the biggest problem."
Liu Jia remained silent. Before she got married, she had indeed thought about the problems she would encounter. After she got married, the thought of having children was indeed a burden on her. She finally got pregnant, and she wanted to eat sour food, but she just liked spicy food, and she felt like vomiting when she ate sour food.
Ming Teng needs a son to reassure the grandfather. She wishes she was carrying a son. She is afraid that if Ming Teng is adopted, the Zhou family rules can be broken. She has enjoyed the life of a couple without a third party, and she will not be afraid.
Li, "I know my son well, and your grandfather and grandmother will advise him."
Uncle will not talk to these young people, but he will definitely inform father-in-law and mother-in-law before any action. The Rong family needs the support of father-in-law, not to mention that Mingteng has Zhou family blood, so uncle will not bypass father-in-law even if he has any intention.
After hearing this, Liu Jia said, "Mom, I am stupid."
"You are just under a lot of pressure. I know there has been talk about you having a daughter recently."
After saying that, Li looked at the maids in the room, especially the few who were good-looking. The only ones who could speak into Liu Jia's ear were the maids in the yard.
At this time, Li's maid brought the list. Li took it and looked through it. This was the advantage of a detailed registration. The relatives of a house-born child were very clear. Li looked at the list and there was nothing she didn't understand. For the sake of loyalty, the Rong family gave Ming Teng house-born children.
Now the daughter is sent here to be a maid, and the father is with her uncle. It is inevitable that the servants will have some thoughts as they try to figure out their master's thoughts.
Li read out the names and said to the maid, "Take them away to be punished. If they are so talkative, take them away to make them complain."
He paused and said, "Kneel outside and be punished in front of all the maids in the yard."
Liu Jia was stunned, "Mom."
It was the first time she saw her mother like this.
Li patted the back of Liu Jia's hand soothingly. Her mother-in-law also hoped that she would establish her authority. She did not send the girl back to the Rong family because she was a junior and her uncle would know about today's punishment and take her away. As for making her uncle unhappy, Li was not afraid. If Liu Jia had a miscarriage, her uncle would be angrier than anyone else.
In the main courtyard, Zhulan knew the result of Li's handling and smiled, without revealing the girl's thoughts, saving everyone's face, "I can safely hand over the Marquis' Mansion to your sister-in-law."
Zhao was not jealous of the power of the housekeeper in the Marquis's mansion. She knew that they would have to divide it up sooner or later. "Mother can enjoy her life in peace."
Zhulan, "Yes, I can enjoy your blessing now."
Rong Yuyun had been worried since Liu Jia's miscarriage. It was not appropriate for him to go there, so he sent people to keep an eye on her. The maid was naturally clear about the punishment. Moreover, Li also sent the servants' list of succession to the throne. How could Rong Yuyun not understand?
When Zhou Shuren came back, Rong Yuyun had already driven away the steward around him and took away all the maids in Mingteng Courtyard. He also gave Liu Jia some gifts, saying that both boys and girls would like them. In the future, the maids in Mingteng Courtyard would be selected by Liu Jia.
Zhou Shuren, "If it wasn't for my uncle's words, it wouldn't have spread. I thought Liu Jia heard it and did it on purpose."
"Liu Jia is also lucky. This time it's someone close to Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle is taking the blame."
Zhou Shuren, "The old man must be sulking."
"Alas, the pressure on the offspring of aristocratic families is too great. Gyokuro is lucky."
"Yes, Gyokuro is lucky."
The next day, Zhulan didn't know what Mingteng said to Liu Jia, but when she looked at Liu Jia again, she saw that her face was full of sweetness.
Li saw her mother-in-law off, saying as she walked, "It would be great if Liu Jia had a son by her side."
"Um."
After walking a few steps, Su Xuan was seen angry. Li asked, "Who made you angry?"
Su Xuan came over, her face still full of anger, "Mom, I can't control Yu Wen anymore."
Zhulan was helpless with Yuwen, and Yuwen decided to be a salted fish, "Okay, don't be angry anymore."
Su Xuan, "My wife is anxious."
Ever since she figured out that her sons and daughters had trouble getting married, she had been thinking about it. Even though she was not in a hurry to get engaged, she wanted to take her daughter out more often and let the capital know that there was a fifth young lady in the Marquis' Mansion. However, Yu Wen avoided her every time.
Zhulan, "Yuwen is still young."
Su Xuan looked at her mother-in-law with resentment, "Mom, you can't get used to her."
Zhulan, "???"
She didn't admit what she said. She really wasn't used to Yu Wen, but she was helpless towards her!
Li chuckled, "Sister-in-law, it's hard for you to let Yuwen go out in the middle of winter. Let's wait until the weather warms up."
Su Xuan was lucky, "She has a reason to be lazy all year round."
Don't be fooled by the lady's lazy appearance, she is very eloquent. Every time she gets choked, she wants to stuff the lady back in and be reborn.
In the palace, Zhou Shuren was probably the last one to arrive. "I pay my respects to His Majesty."
The emperor gestured for everyone to stand up. This time everyone was present. He handed the folder over and said in a heavy tone, "Take a look, everyone."
When it was Zhou Shuren's turn, everyone's faces looked very ugly. Zhou Shuren felt as if his guess had come true.
