Chapter 74 It’s time to give Aunt Qiao a holiday
Fortunately, after hearing Chen Yuan's words, Yun Qiao immediately lowered the hem of her skirt and tidied her hair to avoid having her beautiful hair messed up by the rough action just now.
Yun Qiao pursed her lips and turned to look at the door.
"My Lord, you are finally here. I really don't know what to do."
"This child's name is Zhao Yuan, and he's Yuan Jie'er's younger brother. I just found out that Zhao Yuan is being raised in the eldest wife's room. They say he's enjoying a good life, but look at the child's appearance. Is he really enjoying a good life?"
Yun Qiao spoke truthfully and there was no need to be pretentious.
Chen Jingyan looked coldly at the people led by the eldest wife, Mrs. Cai.
"Since this child has been given to the young mistress of your house to raise, it is your responsibility. You almost raised him to death. Drag all these people out and give each of them ten lashes of the board."
Chen Jingyan gave an order and several guards came up immediately.
Directly at the gate of the courtyard, a nanny and two maids serving Cai were all beaten with ten boards, leaving their buttocks bruised. They had to stay in bed for at least three months and were absolutely not allowed to get out of bed.
After beating the man, he sent someone to tell Cai that the child would no longer be raised in her house.
When Cai saw that it was the Marquis who came in person to handle the matter, she did not dare to show up and could only hide herself again on the pretext of being pregnant.
Chen Jingyan could only beat Cai's people, but could not touch Cai himself.
After all, Cai is pregnant now.
If we touch her, I'm afraid the ancestors won't agree.
The ancestor's family and Cai's family had a good relationship. When Chen Yusheng got married, it was the ancestor who helped him to get married.
Not to mention anything else, just for this reason, the old lady would not touch Cai at this time.
Chen Jingyan went into the house and said a few words to Gu Heng, then left with Yun Qiao.
Gu Heng had just gone to get medicine and had no idea that there was such a commotion in the yard in front.
After the matter was settled, Gu Heng instructed the attendants and maids in the yard to guard the door and not allow anyone else to come in except Aunt Qiao.
The servant in front asked, "How is it now that the cousin has come?"
Gu Heng just said, "Whatever!"
This place in Lanyuan.
Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan sat on two chairs. The maid brought them tea and then left.
Yun Qiao was speechless.
Chen Jingyan took a sip of tea before asking, "Now that the child is in Chunhui Garden, what are your thoughts? I'm leaving it to you to make the arrangements."
Yun Qiao said, "It's fine for me to raise Yuan Jie'er now, but I'm afraid it won't work if I raise Zhao Yuan. The Marquis hasn't married yet, and I, as his concubine, have already raised a son and a daughter. It's not appropriate to tell anyone about this."
Chen Jingyan stared at her carefully.
"Do you really think so?" he asked.
Yun Qiao: ...? ?
What else could she think?
"Why did you ask me this, Lord? I have always thought so. Raising many children is a lot of work. Raising children is not like raising cats or dogs. You have to be responsible."
This is what she really thinks.
"Then send the child to the farm and find a trustworthy nanny to take care of him."
Yun Qiao said, "That's fine too."
"My Lord, until the child is well again, would you mind staying at the Marquis' Mansion for a while?"
Chen Jingyan: "Let him stay in Chunhui Garden for now. When he recovers, we will send him to the manor."
After Chen Jingyan finished speaking, he immediately added: "The scenery in the countryside is quite nice this season. If you have time, you can go and see it. Staying in the countryside for a while will help you relax."
Yun Qiao, who had originally shown no emotion, immediately became excited after hearing Chen Jingyan's words.
"Then I am grateful to you, my Lord."
She was indeed a little bored staying in the Marquis' Mansion, so she went out for a walk. No matter where she went, she always changed the place and treated it as a trip.
"Look how happy you are."
She was happy, and Chen Jingyan's mood also improved.
It just so happened that he was quite busy recently and had no time to accompany Yun Qiao. He asked her to go out and play, which would help her to feel better. If she was in a good mood, she would naturally be nice to him as well.
After deciding to go out and play, Yun Qiao became concerned about Zhao Yuan's condition.
Chen Jingyan had just beaten Cai's men, and not long after, the old lady called Chen Jingyan over to question him.
The old lady was sitting on a chair, and when she saw her grandson coming over, she didn't sit down but just stood there.
"Why, my house can't accommodate a giant like you? Sanlang, you haven't been here for a long time."
"You are my grandson, but you are the one who comes here the least often."
Chen Jingyan said indifferently: "There are so many people who are courting you, and I am not one more."
"Especially the eldest wife's family, they come to your place quite often, right?"
After hearing Chen Jingyan's story, the old lady said, "You beat up Cai's maid and old woman at the gate of Chunhui Garden, and they were not gentle with them."
There was a fierce look between Chen Jingyan's eyebrows.
"Grandmother is in the inner house and doesn't know much about what's going on outside. Do you know how my good elder brother has been flirting with other women outside and how many things he has done to discredit the Marquisate? He goes out and claims to be the master of the Marquisate. Is he really the master of the Marquisate? He puts on a lot of airs. Even I, Chen Jingyan, wouldn't dare to say anything casually when I'm outside."
The old lady was a little surprised.
"Is there such a thing?"
She knew that Chen Yusheng was a womanizer, and she thought that since he was young, he would give up the idea when he got older. Unexpectedly, Chen Yusheng was actually causing trouble outside.
"I wasn't too clear about this when I was in the military camp. Now that I'm back, I've heard a lot from some people. Chen Yusheng forced a woman to death in the Red Mansion last year, and he had to spend a lot of money to put an end to it."
Chen Jingyan learned about this from Pang Zheng.
Pang Zheng, who liked to go to brothels to listen to music, knew about this.
He also said that this incident had a significant impact at the time.
But Chen Jingyan was fighting in the military camp at that time, and the emperor did not pursue the matter of Chen Yusheng for forcing a woman to death after failing to do so.
However, Chen Yusheng's bad behavior still brought a lot of impact to the Marquis' Mansion.
The old lady listened.
Then he said, "I will definitely find a chance to criticize the eldest wife for this matter later."
"Sanlang, I have something I want to tell you. I'm thinking of separating your uncle's family. But this always needs a reason. You see, we have to hurry up and get married."
Come on, it’s time to get married again.
"I understand what Grandmother means, but this cousin from the Li family really doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me. How can you let me marry her? Can I force her to marry me?"
Hearing what her grandson said, the old lady is now filled with regret.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you marry Wang Yanran. You've heard that Wang Yanran is getting engaged, and it seems the man she's getting engaged to is from the Pang family."
The young master of the Pang family?
"Pang Zheng?"
