Chapter 155 Adopted Daughter Chen Yuan
Yun Qiao smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Aren't you here? The Second Master is in charge of the business outside, and the affairs within the Marquis' Mansion are left to you."
Li Yuan immediately waved her hand. "That won't do. I only know how to spend money, not how to make it. Besides, you've already given birth to three children, but I haven't given birth to any yet. It's strange. We sleep together, but my stomach just doesn't respond."
Just when Yun Qiao thought that Li Yuan might suspect that she was not capable enough, she still wanted to persuade her.
I heard Li Yuan say, "Is it possible that Gu Heng can't have children?"
Yun Qiao almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
She never expected Li Yuan to say such words, Yun Qiao was so happy.
Hearing her say this, Yun Qiao was reminded of the time when Chen Jingyan slept here before. The two of them were lying on the bed and chatting. She was bored and told Chen Jingyan about Li Yuan and Gu Heng.
Chen Jingyan still felt that his second brother might have some problem. He could not sleep with his lovely wife, and not only did he not sleep with her, he also wanted to sleep in a separate bed.
Yun Qiao and Li Yuan were talking here, while Chen Yuan and her younger brother Zhao Yuan were playing with three little babies.
Yun Qiao would occasionally hear the third brother mumbling.
They were all irrelevant words, but she had also said some things about Chen Jingyan before.
But when Yun Qiao wanted to listen a little longer, she saw that the little ancestor stopped talking again.
At this moment, I heard the third brother talking about Yuan Jie'er.
[She's really smart. Why is my mother so nice to her? She might get hurt later if she's careful.]
[Mother, please pay more attention. Your adopted daughter is in contact with her biological mother. She wants you to be a scapegoat and support her and her brother. She often sells things to her biological mother.]
Yun Qiao's smiling face suddenly froze.
She then suddenly asked Li Yuan.
"Cousin, you said that morning you suddenly heard crying in my Lan Garden? You went in to take a look and found that it was Chen Yuan crying there?"
Li Yuan pinched the grapes and ate them. "Is that so? What happened? Why are you suddenly asking about what happened before?"
"It's okay, I'm just curious. Sister Yuan lives in the outer room of Lan Garden. I'm not in Lan Garden, so where did she go to cry?"
If Yun Qiao remembered correctly, Lan Garden was located right on the path leading to the old lady's courtyard from the Central Courtyard. In other words, Chen Yuan was crying in Lan Garden on purpose to attract attention.
To be honest, Yun Qiao never thought that this seemingly harmless Chen Yuan would be so scheming?
Wait, she seemed to remember something.
When Chen Jingyan said he wanted to give her a child, he told her a small detail of an incident. It seemed that Chen Jingyan went to the farm and accidentally met Chen Yuan who was being bullied. He happened to see the evil slave bullying the child.
This time, Chen Yuan was able to come to the princess's mansion because of Li Yuan's introduction.
Li Yuan was moved by compassion and accidentally heard Chen Yuan crying in Lanyuan. Knowing that she was Yun Qiao's adopted daughter, he brought her over.
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
Chen Yuan always acted weak and timid in front of her. If she acted out these two scenes on purpose, then this Chen Yuan was very deep-minded.
In fact, there is no problem in supporting Chen Yuan and her younger brother Zhao Yuan.
But she couldn't be used like this.
Yun Qiao stood up and walked towards where the children were.
She looked at Chen Yuan and said softly, "Yuanjie, come with me. I have something to ask you."
"Yes, Mother."
Chen Yuan obediently followed Yun Qiao to a room inside.
"Why didn't you let Achun come with you when you came to the Princess's Mansion this time? She loves you so much, she will follow you wherever you go."
When Chen Yuan heard Yun Qiao ask about Ah Chun, she lowered her head and said softly and practicedly, "Sister Ah Chun is sick. I was afraid that if she came here sick, she would definitely infect mother."
"Mom, next time I come, I'll bring Sister Achun with me. Sister Achun is very kind to me, and I like her very much."
Yun Qiao hummed, "It's nothing. I just happen to have some fabric here. You can take it back and cut it into clothes."
Yun Qiao asked Xiao Tao to open the warehouse, which was filled with a wide variety of precious jewelry and brocade silks.
Obviously, when seeing these things, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with greed.
She is really smart.
Yun Qiao thought to herself, if Chen Yuan had not come to the princess's mansion today, she would have happened to hear what the third son said, and would not have carefully observed Chen Yuan.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to discover her deep thoughts.
What does she want?
Money? Or status?
Yun Qiao thought, I'm afraid they all have it.
Xiaotao took two pieces of silk and carried them out.
Chen Yuan came with Li Yuan this time. She didn't bring any followers with her and followed Li Yuan's carriage like an invisible person.
We had lunch at the princess's residence.
Li Yuan was satisfied with the meal.
When she came, Chen Yuan told her that she missed her mother very much.
It would be nice if he could stay in the princess's mansion for some time, but Li Yuan didn't want to, so he didn't think much about Chen Yuan's words.
She was saying to Yun Qiao, "Sister Yuan, why are you so quiet? When you came here, you told me that you missed your mother so much and that if you could stay in the princess's mansion for a few days, you could spend more time with your mother. But now you're silent."
Li Yuan said this purely as a joke and with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan said, "Second Aunt must have heard wrongly. This is the princess's residence, outsiders are not allowed to live here."
Li Yuan also doubted himself.
"Really? I must have heard it wrong. But your mother is really kind to you. Look at the things in this carriage. They are all given to you."
Yun Qiao smiled, her eyes fell on Chen Yuan, and she looked her up and down.
They left in the afternoon.
As usual, Chen Yuan left with Li Yuan's carriage.
