Qi'en, Jiang Hong is back today. Thanks to you, he has been able to recover over the years. It's time to make arrangements for your heirs. I've found a recipe for you. "
As she spoke, Mrs. Qiao held An Qien's hand and smiled at her with kind eyes full of hope.
Mrs. Qiao continued to say earnestly: "Jiang Hong has been well for a few days. His health must be fine. The heirs of our Hou family are the most important thing. You have to take it seriously. After all, there are no children in three years. Outside, The rumors are not good either.”
Mother Wu smiled and handed the recipe for childbirth into An Qien's hand.
An Qien was stunned and in a daze.
Mother Wu saw her stunned and lost her mind, and said with a smile, "Madam, you are so happy. It's hard for Madam to be so thoughtful in these years."
An Qi'en glanced at the medicine bag in his hand and realized that he was really reborn.
After coming back to her senses, she smiled faintly, bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, grandma."
This rebirth was brought about, and it was her problem.
After three years of childlessness, didn't Jiang Hong suffer from paralysis for three years?
The old lady looked nice on the surface, but in fact she was trying to keep her under wraps.
In her last life, because she had no heirs, the old lady specially raised a few hens in her yard that did not lay eggs.
Suddenly, the maid's surprise and panic sounds came from outside.
"Old madam, old madam, the prince is back, the prince is back..."
The maid came in to report, and when she saw An Qien in front of the old lady, she immediately shut up.
Mother Wu said angrily to the maid, "You are so frizzy, old lady, you don't have any rules in front of me. Are you so flustered that you forget all the usual rules?"
The maid lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Old madam, Madam, Cui'er realizes her mistake."
Mrs. Qiao didn't pursue it too much. She only had her grandson in her heart on this big day, and she would be tolerant of small things when she was happy.
Old Man Qiao was just about to ask the maid which courtyard the prince had gone to, but before he could say anything, he heard footsteps outside.
Qiao Jianghong is here.
Moreover, he was accompanied by a charming woman with bright eyes and white teeth.
Seeing An Qien's presence, Qiao Jianghong's eyes paused, and he saluted Mrs. Qiao, "Grandma."
An Qi'en's expression was calm, without any disturbance to her body, "Your Majesty."
Mrs. Qiao looked at the woman. She was quite pretty, with watery eyes and eyebrows as curved as crescent moons.
She has a small face and fair skin. She is a beauty. Her clothes are plain and embroidered. Judging from the material, the maids of the Qiao family wear better than her.
Mrs. Qiao thought this was the maid brought back by Qiao Jianghong.
"Shuli, don't pay your respects to grandma yet." Qiao Jianghong said this to the woman next to him, his voice was gentle and his tone was very ambiguous.
The woman lowered her eyebrows and said, "Shu Li, please give my regards to the old lady."
Mrs. Qiao's eyes were startled, this?
An Qi'en looked at everything in front of him calmly, and the turmoil in his heart did not appear on his face.
She was killed by Shen Shuli in her last life.
Qiao Jianghong glanced at An Qien, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it was a fact that he belonged to someone else, and he would never let Shen Shuli down in this life.
"Grandma, this is the woman my grandson met three years ago when he was still uninjured. He fell in love with her and hopes that grandma will fulfill her wish."
Mrs. Qiao didn't know what to do. Logically speaking, taking a concubine was a very common thing.
It's just that the situation in Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is different from that outside. This body is about to take a concubine, which may chill An Qien's heart.
Three years ago, Qiao Jianghong traveled with his father to seek blessings for His Majesty. Unexpectedly, he encountered a desperate gangster on the road.
Master Qiao passed away, and Qiao Jianghong only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sent back.
The doctor diagnosed and treated him and said that he would not survive for three months.
In order to appease the Qiao family, His Majesty asked the An family to send a daughter to the Qiao family to celebrate the wedding.
His Majesty's intended marriage was for a legitimate daughter. An Qi'en was nominally a legitimate daughter, but in fact, her true identity was that of a concubine.
The eldest sister is already engaged, so she can only take the lead.
After An Qien married into the Qiao family, she took good care of Qiao Jianghong every day.
She had no medical skills, so she relied on the ancestral medical books left by her biological mother to learn medical skills.
During this period, he also spent a lot of dowry to purchase herbal medicines, and worked hard every day to rescue Qiao Jianghong from the coffin.
A month ago, Qiao Jianghong was finally able to walk freely and was as healthy as a normal person.
He told his family that he had something urgent to do and went out with his two boys.
It turned out that he was going to pick up his mistress.
Like each other? Why didn't you say it when you were about to collapse on the bed?
Shen Shuli lowered her eyebrows and knew that the old lady would not give her a good look. She bowed to An Qien humbly and pitifully, "Madam, you are polite."
Mrs. Qiao is not easy to decide, so An Qi'en can only make her own decision on this matter.
Mrs. Liu came and heard Qiao Jianghong's words outside the door. After Mrs. Liu saluted Mrs. Qiao, she looked at Shen Shuli with a straight face.
"Jiang Hong, this can't be done. You have just recovered from a long illness and you still need to take good care of yourself. We will discuss the matter of taking concubines later."
"Mom, Shuli has been waiting for me for three years, and her innocence has been given to me. I must give her an explanation."
Qiao Jianghong's attitude was that he had accepted this concubine.
Mrs. Liu's eyes widened when she heard this. How could she have the nerve to say such a humiliating thing?
Her face turned even more ugly, "Not just any woman can enter our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. This kind of woman who has no etiquette, justice and shame and is having sex with a man when she is about to get married should be beaten to death with a stick."
An Qi'en's hard work in the past three years was clearly seen by Mrs. Liu. She was just about to take a concubine due to her serious illness. If word spread, outsiders would think that the Hou Mansion had no affection.
Qiao Jianghong did not dare to disobey his mother and grandmother. He looked at An Qien, who had been silent.
"Qi'en, I have worked hard for you these past three years. Many people have served me, but you are so relaxed and relaxed. What do you think?"
He knew that she had a gentle temperament and would not fight for anything, so he placed his last hope on An Qien.
An Qi'en smiled lightly and said, "It is my duty to serve the prince. What the prince said is true. There should be many new people in the mansion to take care of the prince. If the prince is good, the palace will be good."
Qiao Jianghong's face showed joy when he heard this.
An Qi'en continued, "However, now is not the time to take a concubine. Mother is right. The prince is in good health. For the sake of the prince's reputation and the reputation of the Marquis, we might as well take a concubine after a while. This Miss Shen might as well Let’s make arrangements to stay in the mansion first.”
Everyone is satisfied with this arrangement, even Shen Shuli himself is satisfied.
"Thank you Madam for your kindness."
Of course she wanted to be merciful, and since it was a mutual love, of course she wanted to make it happen.
Otherwise, in the previous life, how could Shen Shuli frame and slander her for committing adultery with Qiao Jiangru, causing her tragic death?
After cleaning up everyone, she didn't want to stay in the Marquis Mansion for a second.
But divorce is not so easy. Marriage is granted by His Majesty, and divorce must be approved by His Majesty.
For the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion, it was absolutely impossible for Qiao Jianghong to go to His Majesty with her and ask for peace and separation with nice words.
Therefore, she had to be patient and let the Hou Mansion be notorious. Only when she made a big mistake and had the handle, could she have a chance to reconcile.
Qiao Jianghong glanced at An Qien with satisfaction.
An Qi'en didn't look at him, his expression was indifferent.
After three years of marriage, he was in bed for three years, and they never became husband and wife.
Unexpectedly, he already had the woman he liked before getting married. It was very difficult for him to stay safe for Shen Shuli after getting better for him.
After coming out of Anhe Hall, An Qien returned to Qiushui Residence.
The eldest maid next to her, Qingbi, said dissatisfiedly, "Madam, why is that country girl Chengzhong, old madam, madam, all on your side? Even if you send her away, the prince can't say anything."
An Qi'en looked a little thoughtful and said, "How many days has Fat Dun'er not eaten fish?"
"Back to Madam, it's been five days. I've been meowing non-stop for the past two days." Qing Bigang answered honestly.
The second maid, Bai Lu, understood the meaning and said, "There is no cat that doesn't eat fishy food."
