"Mammy, why, why is it like this?" Fu Jin burst into tears and leaned in Mammy Chang's arms and said sadly.
Nanny Chang was also very sad. This was the child that the concubine had conceived with great difficulty after marrying the master.
Now that he is born weak and his wife is injured, how can Nanny Chang not be sad?
"Fujin, don't be sad. The imperial physician said that as long as we take good care of the eldest prince, he will grow up safely."
But I'm afraid it's unlikely that he will be able to learn martial arts or archery when he grows up.
Upon hearing this, Fu Jin sat up and looked at Nanny Chang anxiously and asked, "Is it true?"
How many children have not grown up because of deficiencies they were born with? She was afraid that her eldest brother would be the same.
"Really? If you don't believe me, wait until the imperial physician comes tomorrow and ask him yourself."
Hearing what Nanny Chang said, Fu Jin felt much better, but she was still a little sad.
Anyone would be unbearable to hear that their child is born weak.
After comforting Fu Jin and seeing that she had gone to bed, he asked Nanny Li to take the child out, and then he also left.
The news that Fu Jin had given birth to a son also reached the palace the next day.
Yonghe Palace
"She's born. Isn't the due date still about a month away? How come she's born so soon?"
When Concubine De heard what Nanny Wang said, she was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, but the visitor also said that Li Gege's fetus was gone, and it was a boy."
"What is going on? How could such a big thing happen out of the blue? Is there no one in the Fourth Master's mansion who cares?" Concubine De stood up in shock.
The child was gone just like that, and she didn't believe there was no trick involved.
"I heard someone put a small amount of safflower in Li Gege's porridge. Coupled with Li Gege's already unstable pregnancy, this is why it happened."
"Furthermore, Fu Jin suffered heavy bleeding during the birth of the eldest prince. The imperial physician said that she might not be able to conceive again in the future."
"And..." Nanny Fang saw that Concubine De was still hesitating about what to say next.
"what else?"
The anger in Concubine De's heart was surging. It seemed that the people in the Fourth Prince's mansion were also restless.
"Also, the eldest prince was born prematurely. The imperial physician said... he was born weak and needs to be well cared for in order to grow up safely."
"Pah~"
Defei was so angry that she slapped the table.
"Go, go call the fourth one over."
"Yes." Nanny Fang quickly asked someone to invite the Fourth Master over.
The Fourth Master had just come out of court, and when he saw someone coming from his mother's palace, he knew that his mother might have already found out.
Fortunately, he was also going to his mother's palace, so he brought Su Peisheng to Yonghe Palace.
"Greetings to my mother."
"Get up."
Concubine De waved her hand and sent the people inside out.
Now there are only the mother and son here.
"Tell me, what happened in your mansion? Why did your wife give birth prematurely? Why was Mrs. Li forced to have a safflower and not even be able to save her child?"
Speaking of this, Concubine De became a little angry, but when she saw the expressionless look on Yinzhen's face, she knew that he must be feeling bad too.
"You are already an adult, can't you manage your own house?"
"Mother is right. It is because I have not managed the house well. Otherwise, this kind of thing would not have happened."
The Fourth Master felt very bad too. Both of them were his children, one was gone and the other was born with congenital weakness. As a father, he was also very sad.
"Don't worry, mother. I have already ordered people to clean up the house. I will never let something like this happen again."
The lesson we gave those slaves before was too low.
This time he must make them remember that doing things for others is not easy. It depends on whether you dare to gamble with the lives of your family members.
"Your father often praises you for your efficiency, but now you can't even handle the affairs of your mansion properly. Your wife only does things for the sake of rules, respectability and herself. You still need to keep an eye on the backyard."
"Mother knows you are busy with your work, you can leave Nanny Song in the backyard to help take care of it."
"She's always been meticulous and efficient in her work. She's also your wet nurse and has always been loyal to you. With her helping you manage things, the backyard won't be in such a mess."
"Yes, I understand."
When Fu Jin first came into the mansion, in order to establish Fu Jin's status in the mansion, he asked Nanny Song to hand over the housekeeping affairs to her.
I didn't expect that I would lose two children.
"Oh, by the way, mother, I'm planning on skipping the third-day bath. I'll just hold a full-moon banquet. It won't be a big event, just invite brothers and their families from all over the mansions to come and have some fun."
Originally, he didn't even want to hold a full moon banquet, after all, the imperial physician said that the eldest prince needed to be well taken care of.
But thinking that this was his first prince and also his legitimate son, he had to hold a lively celebration.
"Well, it's better not to do it. The child is still young and can't stand the adults tossing and turning. Have you told your wife yet?"
"Not yet. I plan to tell her when I get back."
"Go back and tell your wife that she is in confinement after childbirth, so let someone else take care of the household affairs."
"Don't overwork yourself, it will make your body worse."
The reason why she said this was that she was somewhat suspicious of the Fourth Lady.
This fourth wife was chosen by the emperor for Yinzhen. In fact, Concubine De was somewhat dissatisfied with this fourth daughter-in-law.
Although these four daughters-in-law have good family backgrounds.
But she is too particular about rules, and she talks very little when she is with the fourth brother.
When two people who are quiet and equally attentive to rules are together, the most likely thing is that they treat each other with respect, but it is impossible for them to be open-hearted.
"I understand, mother. I will arrange it." The Fourth Master already had an idea in his mind.
——
After lunch, Wen Mianmian sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.
Because of the incident between Fu Jin and Li Gege, the Fourth Master is now going to clean up the backyard.
Fortunately, it had nothing to do with their Zizhuyuan, so they could still live a comfortable life behind closed doors.
For several days, Su Peisheng and Liu Zhengde were busy between the front and back yards, and they also caught many servants with bad intentions.
The Fourth Master also handed over the power of Fu Jin's housekeeper to Nanny Song, and Nanny Chang, who was by Fu Jin's side, also assisted.
Fu Jin felt better now that she had someone of her own.
But all the people she had previously arranged in the Li family's backyard were pulled out by Su Peisheng.
After being beaten with dozens of boards, he was sent to a remote village to farm.
Moreover, she couldn't take medicine or see a doctor for the injuries on her body, so she could only let her heal on her own.
The bloody scene of beating with a stick scared all the servants in the backyard.
Even Shancha, Shannai and Wang An were called over to watch.
All the servants in the mansion had to go and see it, and they had to go in batches, otherwise the masters would be left without anyone to serve them.
Even the two maids beside the concubine were the same.
