"Liu Yun, how are you? Does the girl from the Zhou family look okay?"
Mrs. Wei of Cheng'en asked eagerly.
Liuyun is the maiden name of Grandma Liang, and she is Mrs. Wei's nanny. The two grew up together.
After growing up, Mrs. Wei got engaged to Han Yan, the prince of Zhenbei Hou, and Aunt Liang became Mrs. Wei's dowry maid.
The two came to Han's house together.
In order to help Mrs. Wei gain a foothold in the Han family as soon as possible, Grandma Liang married the son of the second manager of the Han family.
With the help of this couple, Mrs. Wei slowly took over her position as the matron of the house.
Later, the master and the servant became pregnant one after another.
Mr. Liang gave birth to a son, and Mrs. Wei gave birth to her eldest daughter two months later.
At that time, one of Han Yan's personal maids was taken as a concubine. She was a daughter of the Han family, and she was quite popular around Han Yan.
This concubine relied on Han Yan's favor and became quite arrogant in the Hou Mansion.
Aunt Liang was worried that this concubine would take action against her master. As soon as the full moon came out, she returned to the Marquis Mansion as an errand and became a wet nurse for Mrs. Wei's eldest daughter.
...It can be said that Grandma Liang has been with Mrs. Wei since she was a child and has shared weal and woe with her.
In Mrs. Wei's heart, Grandma Liang is the person she is closest to and most trusts.
Mrs. Wei trusts Nanny Liang, and Nanny Liang also knows her master best.
It had only been half a day since I left the Duke's Mansion. Why did my master suddenly become so eager?
Aunt Liang secretly drew a question mark in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
“Excellent!”
Aunt Liang answered Mrs. Wei's question first, with admiration in her eyes, "The appearance is first-class, and the temperament and demeanor are also extraordinary."
"That's her identity... A few days ago, rumors spread about the real and fake daughter in the Hou Mansion."
At the end, Grandma Liang said with a hint of regret.
Her appearance said it all - apart from her doubtful identity, this young lady from the Zhou family has no shortcomings at all!
"Really? Her appearance is really great?"
Mrs. Wei didn't care about her identity.
She believed that everyone in the Jingninghou Mansion was full of smart people.
As long as Zhou Qingcheng is chosen by his family, the Hou Mansion will definitely make arrangements.
What Mrs. Wei really likes is Zhou Qingcheng himself.
She thought about it and suddenly pointed to the west position with her finger, "How does it compare to that one?"
Aunt Liang was startled for a moment, then she quickly came to her senses.
Mrs. Wei is referring to the cousin.
Alas, the second young master is just the same. It's not good to like anyone, but he just likes the relative in the next door yard.
Doesn't he know that the family next door won't be kind?
etc!
Grandma Liang is very smart and reacts quickly.
She suddenly thought of her wife's eagerness, and instantly had a bad guess.
"Madam, could it be that the guy next door is causing trouble again?"
Mrs. Wei showed a wry smile. She was in her forties.
As a pampered lady, she should be well-maintained.
But there is a "Chuan" pattern on her forehead.
Obviously, the life of the Duke's wife, who was very fawned over by Mrs. Li, was not easy for her.
At least she often worried and frowned, which left traces on her face.
"The little maid who was serving her in the yard secretly came over to report that she hadn't changed her bath this month!"
Mrs. Wei didn't hide anything about Aunt Liang, whom she trusted the most.
Aunt Liang’s eyes widened, “Madam, she, she—” Is she pregnant?
Aunt Liang didn’t say anything else.
Although she was shocked, she did not forget what she should say and what she should not say.
"There's nothing to hide."
Mrs. Wei knew that her nanny was the most cautious.
However, things have developed to this point, and it is useless for them to hide it.
The west courtyard next door has been waiting.
It is estimated that within a few days, everyone in the capital will know——
The second son of the Duke Cheng'en's residence had made his cousin who was a guest in the Duke's residence pregnant before they even got married.
If her son is obedient, Mrs. Wei is also afraid that the next door neighbor will act like a monster.
She directly sent someone to boil a bowl of abortion pills and secretly drank it for the bitch.
It's a shame that bitch is such a coquettish person, and she made her good son confused.
Because of her, her son has contradicted her several times.
Mrs. Wei didn't dare to make a fuss yet.
For one thing, she was afraid of ruining her son's reputation.
Secondly, the West Courtyard is still waiting to see the joke between their mother and son.
Thirdly, Mrs. Wei doesn’t want to make the relationship between mother and son worse!
With so many worries, Mrs. Wei could only sulk on her own.
"Madam, she must have plotted against the second young master!"
Grandma Liang felt heartbroken when she saw her wife's dejected face.
She couldn't help but curse bitterly, "And the couple in the west courtyard are also deliberately trying to harm our second young master!"
"So what? You can see that they have bad intentions, but Erlang still treats them as good people."
"And that little bitch, she just pretended to be weak because of her good looks and shedding tears in the wind, so she seduced Erlang and made him obsessed."
"...Liu Yun, I really have no choice. I scolded him, persuaded him, and told him a lot of good and bad things. I broke all kinds of truths into pieces and told him, but in the end - —”
As she spoke, Mrs. Wei's eyes became red.
She looks beautiful, but is actually miserable.
She and her father only maintained a superficial relationship as husband and wife, and the two had long since lost their relationship.
Han Yan favored several concubines, and the eldest son of a concubine was placed in front of Mrs. Wei, poking at her heart every day.
She can't count on her husband and can only rely on her children.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter for Han Yan, but Han Yan preferred Han Nai, the concubine.
Han Nai, what a good character "Nai".
Nai is also a big cauldron.
As for her second husband, his name is Han Ding.
It’s just that Han Nai is ranked ahead of Erlang, and even his name is ahead of Erlang.
Mrs. Wei has always been worried about this.
As Han Nai grew older, Han Yan valued him more and more.
He personally taught him martial arts and took him to lead troops in battles.
The Han family army in Northern Xinjiang has begun to call Han Ding "Young General"!
Pooh!
He deserves it!
How dare a concubine born of a humble maid dare to attempt to seize the title of the Han family?
However, his own son failed to live up to expectations, was incompetent in literature and martial arts, and was robbed of all his glory by Han Nai.
In order to support her mother and keep her title for her incompetent younger brother, Mrs. Wei's eldest daughter managed to enter the palace at the age of sixteen.
Today's saint is three years older than Han Yan.
Although her daughter became a queen and became the most noble woman in the world.
But, but... Mrs. Wei's heart felt as if she was in shock at the thought of her daughter having to accompany an old man who was older than her father at such a young age.
Fortunately, her daughter's sacrifice was not in vain, and she obtained the title of Duke Cheng'en for the Han family.
The saint also decreed that Erlang could be canonized as the crown prince.
Long before Mrs. Wei thought that their mother and son had finally come to the end of their hardships, Han Nai in the West Courtyard got into trouble again.
They got a distant cousin from nowhere. She was charming, frivolous, and seductive, and she really fascinated Erlang.
Erlang actually said he wanted to marry her!
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she fell backwards on the spot.
Not to mention that the cousin had a humble background and unknown origins. Just because of the grievances between their East and West courtyards, it was impossible for Erlang to marry the cousin of Han Nai's wife!
Mrs. Wei persuaded her earnestly and tried every means to break it up.
However, the more forced she was, the more rebellious Han Ding became.
Now there is even a child!
Once the news gets out, how can Han Ding seek to marry a good in-law who has a similar family background and can be helpful to him?
"Madam, don't be sad. The second young master is innocent and doesn't know that those people have ulterior motives and harbor evil intentions!"
"Besides, he is still young. Once he marries a wife and has a family, everything will get better!"
Aunt Liang had no other choice but to persuade her.
When it came to getting a wife, Grandma Liang reacted suddenly.
She slapped her thigh hard, "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot about the main thing!"
"Madam just asked me how the young lady from the Zhou family compares to the little bitch next door, but I haven't answered you yet."
"Madam, I'm not bragging, Miss Zhou is a hundred times more beautiful than Miss Yu."
"The best thing is that Miss Zhou is not in good health and is weak and timid. I feel pity for her."
"After meeting Miss Zhou, this old slave understands what it means to be 'Xi Zi's heart'. Oh, with such a small appearance, I can't help but feel sorry for an old woman!"
Aunt Liang kept talking, but Mrs. Wei's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Okay! It's her!"
