Shen Shuli went to Liang Wanru's room and talked for a long time and drank several cups of tea.
Finally, she said: "This is the Marquis' Mansion. As the mistress of the house, she doesn't have children. How can she let us concubines have children? Sister, I treat you as one of my own and talk to you intimately. We, the ladies, are watching. There is no fighting against the world, but in fact, there is blood on one hand. If we aunts don't stick together to keep warm, life will be difficult in the past."
"You have seen her cruelty before. Let's talk about your mother, who is the prince's aunt after all. She actually kicked your mother out regardless of her relationship as a relative. She has the greatest hostility towards you. You But be careful.”
Liang Wanru took a sip of tea with a serious expression, her heart ached when she thought of Mrs. Liang, and she didn't know if her mother was living well alone and whether she had enough money.
She had just become a concubine and wanted to help her mother after she established her footing. When Shen Shuli suddenly mentioned it, she sadly picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Sister, we are all poor people who have no control over our lives. Thank you very much for reminding me today. I will be careful."
She believed Shen Shuli's instigation, and she had always held a grudge against An Qien for treating her mother like that.
She didn't believe that An Qi'en could always be so powerful. Once the child in her belly was born and successfully became his legitimate son, she would not let An Qi'en go easily if she had someone to rely on.
Shen Shuli looked like she was on good terms with Liang Wanru from the bottom of her heart. She took a sip of tea and said sincerely, "We sisters will help each other in the future, and our life in this Marquis Mansion will be fine."
Liang Wanru wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded. With today's heart-to-heart talk, she finally had an alliance.
But she still kept a close eye on the pregnancy. Liang said that if more people knew about it, there would be more risks.
Shen Shuli glanced at her belly calmly and asked tentatively: "Sister, you have been serving the crown prince for some time. If this happens, it is best not to let the madam know. If you need to do anything inconvenient, just do it. Come to me."
Liang Wanru smiled lightly and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat: "Thank you sister for the tip. I'm also looking forward to having a baby soon to pass the time."
Shen Shuli smiled inexplicably and cursed: "It's quite scheming, but I still hide it until now."
She smiled again and said, "You see, I can't move my legs when I see you. After chatting for so long, I have to give the fourth aunt the things I gave you."
While talking, Shen Shuli had already stood up, and Liang Wanru also stood up to see her off.
The two of them were as close as close sisters, and Shen Shuli turned left directly to the east courtyard.
At this time, the melodious sound of playing the piano came from Ruying's room, and Shen Shuli cursed jealously in her heart: "Hu Meizi, what's so great about being able to play the piano."
As soon as she came in, she said with a smile: "My sister's piano sound is so nice, it's so clear and sweet, like a ringing sound."
Hearing the sound of the piano breaking, Ru stood up and came over: "Second Aunt."
Everyone in this house looked down upon her because she came from a brothel, so she didn't go out or try to please anyone.
Shen Shuli came suddenly. Ruying was not so enthusiastic and just said hello politely.
The maid next to her had no intention of serving tea.
Shen Shuli glanced at the maid, and Xiang Zhu immediately put the tiger head bellyband with both hands in front of Ru Ying.
"Sister, this is what I give to my child when I have nothing to do. It's a little bit of my gratitude. I hope my sister doesn't think I'm clumsy."
Shen Shuli smiled brightly, looking pure and sincere.
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
If Ying Ying has a dull temperament, she only knows one truth: to be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief.
Seeing her being so unenthusiastic, Shen Shuli felt a little concerned, but on the surface she still pretended to be approachable.
She approached and said, "Sister, you have to pay special attention at this time. I was very tired this month. I was vomiting and couldn't eat or sleep well."
Ruying smiled lightly and replied: "I'm okay, I didn't react that much."
Shen Shuli's face became a little uneasy. She stood there for a while, but Ruying made no move to ask her to sit down.
And he had a very cold attitude towards her, as if he didn't want to say a word.
It's really a hot face against a cold butt.
She stopped fawning, forced out a smile and said, "I've been out for a while, I have to go back and take a rest."
Ruying: "Second aunt, please walk slowly."
Shen Shuli scolded Ruying angrily in her heart: "Shameless bitch, how can you be so aloof? You don't have the slightest bit of red lips that thousands of people can taste."
As soon as Shen Shuli left, Ruying looked at the bellyband with disgust and ordered the maid Xiaoyun: "Hide where I can't see you."
"yes."
If the elegance of playing the piano is gone, I sit on the couch in a daze.
Xiaoyun came back after hiding the things and stood beside Ruying to serve him. Xiaoyun was an old man in the palace.
Ru Ying listened to some affairs in the house and scorned women like Shen Shuli.
Although she came from a brothel and was favored by Qiao Jianghong, she really disdained Shen Shuli's efforts to win favor.
.......
When An Qien returned to Qiushui Residence, he wrote an invitation and had it sent to Lady Liu.
As long as she opens her mouth, Madam Liu will not lose face.
With nothing to do, the three masters and servants went to the yard to look at goldfish.
After watching for a while, we chatted.
Qingbi suddenly thought of something and asked: "Madam, Aunt Liang has been a little strange recently. The old lady didn't like her at all before, but now she is very nice to her. What methods did she use to make the old lady change her mind?"
An Qi'en held a handful of fish food in her hand, spread it out slowly, and said calmly: "In order for a woman to be taken seriously by her husband's family, in addition to having a strong natal family, she also needs to be able to live up to her expectations."
Qingbi and Bailu both suddenly realized.
Bai Lu: "She is so calm and breathless."
Qingbi frowned and felt something was wrong and asked, "No, it's okay if she hides it from others. Why did she hide it from you, madam?"
Bai Lu suddenly realized and responded: "Madam, the old lady is guarding you. She won't think that the death of the aunt and the second wife's child has something to do with you."
An Qi'en fed the fish calmly, without any fluctuation in his mood. A slight smile appeared on his lips: "Isn't this great? It saves a lot of trouble."
Qingbi felt aggrieved for her master and said sullenly: "The old lady is usually polite to you, and she always says that you are a blessing to the Marquis Mansion, but secretly she is guarding against you."
An Qien's mind was not here. She didn't care whether her aunt had children or not. It didn't matter to her. She would leave the Hou Mansion sooner or later.
She only wondered if Mrs. Qiao had any other purpose in asking Madam Liu to come.
It would be fine if he simply wanted to build a relationship, but I was afraid there was some conspiracy behind it.
Mrs. Qiao is an unpredictable and far-sighted person, and most people can't guess her thoughts.
An Qi'en thoughtfully asked the two maids: "Old madam, who has been going more frequently recently?"
