Jiang was very interested, and the girl An Qi'en liked was naturally a good girl. It was the best thing to have more than one person serving her son.
She smiled and said, "Of course that's good. I'm very worried about the girl you like."
After finishing speaking, Jiang looked at An Shi'an and asked what he meant.
An Shi'an has never been interested in women. The troubles in the back yard of this house are all caused by women.
At present, there are already two women in the house, which is enough to make him very anxious. With one more woman, he really has nothing to do.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. It's good to have a wife and an aunt in the house. I have no intention of taking any more concubines."
An Qi'en knew that An Shi'an would not agree easily, otherwise he would not have refused to renew his relationship with his ex-sister-in-law so many years after his death.
She smiled faintly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After putting down the tea cup, An Qien looked at An Shi'an meaningfully and said, "Brother, why do you think the imperial court needs civil and military officials? According to the actual official positions Only more than half of the people are needed, but there are always some unnecessary but necessary official positions in all dynasties?"
An Shi'an's originally calm eyes were helplessly shaken. He was a smart man and would not fail to understand the true meaning of An Qien's words.
How could he not know Yu Lan's inner pain? But if Yu Lan is jealous and does not change her mind, there will be no peaceful life in this compound.
Although it is not a good way to check and balance the relationship in the backyard by having more concubines, there is no other good way.
An Shi'an said nothing and agreed to take another concubine.
An Qi'en started preparing for this.
Yu Lan learned that An Qi'en asked An Shi'an to take a concubine, and she was smart enough to see An Qi'en's original intention.
With the princess helping her in this way, she could no longer let herself down. It was a good thing for her to have one more person to share An Shian's love for Lin Yanyun.
She is not afraid of men taking away their kidneys, but she is afraid of men taking over their hearts. As long as she does not go too far, she is willing to turn a blind eye. But right now, she is still pregnant and An Shian is often in Lin Yanyun's yard. This She couldn't bear it.
At this special moment, An Shi'an didn't even treat her lightly, let alone in the future.
Lin Yanyun had robbed her of all the favors from her husband when she needed them the most. She had to fight back.
Because of this, Yu Lan was in a good mood, ate more than usual, and asked Liu Er to dress her up carefully.
People look more energetic when they dress up carefully. She hasn't been out of the yard for more than half a month, so she went to Jiang's house today to pay her respects.
Jiang knew that Yu Lan was acting petty these days and was jealous of not eating or drinking. She also deliberately ignored Yu Lan. If she didn't let her know that this trend could not last forever, the backyard would be filled with sour and jealous people. thing.
The fact that she took the initiative to come over today and looked so good shows that she has thought of something, which is a good thing. Jiang family naturally welcomed her with a smile. After all, she still likes this wife here very much.
Yu Lan drank tea with Mr. Jiang, and the two of them went for a walk in the garden of the mansion and exchanged some thoughtful words. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly reconciled.
Lin Yanyun was annoyed. When she learned that An Qien had given An Shian a concubine, she snorted disdainfully: "Bitch, do you think this can shake my position? What a dream!"
Xi'er looked out nervously and lowered her voice to remind: "Auntie, this is not our own yard. The walls have ears, so we need to be careful in our words and deeds."
Lin Yanyun's bright eyes were tense and revealed a ruthless look, her fair hands were tightly clenched into fists, and she was still afraid to lower her voice and said angrily: "You're already married and you still care about your mother's family's affairs. What a shame." You nosy bitch, why doesn’t she give the prince a few more!”
Xi'er knew her master's temperament and couldn't persuade her. She could only run to the door in fear and look around. When she saw no one, she closed the door again.
After closing the door, Xi'er dared to give her master some advice: "Auntie, the more you are at this time, the less likely you are to mess up. Men like reasonable women. Think about it, Madam, she is pregnant. She is not jealous of you during this period." I had a cold war with the uncle, but he didn’t go along with her just because she was making trouble, on the contrary, he ignored her, don’t you think so?”
Lin Yanyun thought about it and it was true. If she revealed her temperament as a young lady at this time, then all the reasonableness and understanding she had pretended to be during this time would be revealed.
Xi'er gave her very useful advice, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xi'er was no longer as sharp and mean as before. Instead, she felt like she was dependent on each other.
Since her mother's death, only Xi'er has been the best to her.
If she doesn't treat Xi'er well, no one will treat her sincerely.
Lin Yanyun looked at Xi'er with soft eyes: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would really be in trouble."
"It is your duty as a servant to share your aunt's worries."
Xi'er replied firmly.
........
Within two days, a girl named Ruru came to An Mansion. This girl was beautiful and had a slender figure.
She was originally the concubine of a merchant family, but later her family fell into disarray and she had no choice but to marry to make a living.
An Qi'en also chose her because she was docile and did not cause trouble.
On the first day after entering the mansion, Ruru served tea to An Shian and Yu Lan.
Yu Lan looked at Fan Ruru carefully and saw that it was easy to lower her eyebrows to suit her eyes. She also took the tea with a smile as if she were a married woman.
Yu Lan took a sip of tea and said to Ruru in a teaching tone: "From now on, just take care of me and don't cause trouble."
Ruru is an obedient person. As a concubine, she has heard these words since she was a child. She respectfully replied: "Thank you sir, madam, for taking in this poor concubine. I will behave according to the rules and serve you with all my heart and ability."
Ruru's answer satisfied Yu Lan.
The next step was to arrange a place to live. Yu Lan kept in mind the losses she had suffered these days, so she also pretended to be considerate and proposed: "Originally, you were supposed to live in the same courtyard as Aunt Lin, but Aunt Lin needs to rest and recuperate now. There aren’t many yards, so just share the same yard with me.”
The concubine shares a courtyard with the main wife? Rich families would never arrange things like this.
An Shian immediately retorted: "She should live in the same courtyard as Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin's injury has entered a stable period."
He paused and looked at Yu Lan's belly and then said in a gentler tone: "You need to rest more now. You have neglected Madam these days. Please don't take it to heart."
Yu Lan felt extremely warm after hearing this. All she wanted was her husband's approval and thoughtfulness. Sure enough, she had to be more tolerant before An Shian would say a few heartwarming words to her.
She shook her head gently and said happily: "I have been working hard recently, and I feel very guilty for not being able to serve you properly. Now that I have an extra aunt to serve you, I can feel more at ease."
