"The eldest sister-in-law knows that I have not slept with the Marquis, so what do you mean by saying this?"
Xue Xuening was stunned, she didn't expect Xie Wanyu to say it so straightforwardly.
Without waiting for her to explain, Xie Wanyu turned to Mrs. Xiao and said: "My grandson's daughter-in-law is obviously not happy with the Marquis. For the sake of the Marquis's heirs, I also asked my grandmother to give me a few good children and good servants. It just so happened that this time I will take up the post together with the Marquis. Firstly, I can serve the Marquis, and secondly, I can help the Marquis's family to flourish!"
Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Are you willing to take a concubine?"
In the past few years, she had seen that Xiao Jing had been reluctant to get close to Xie Wanyu. After several attempts to match her failed, she had not thought about letting Xiao Jing take a concubine, but every time Xiao Jing blocked her proposal on the grounds that Xie Wanyu did not agree. After going back many times, she inevitably became dissatisfied with Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu said with a smile: "Where did my grandma say this? My granddaughter-in-law is willing. She mentioned it to the Marquis earlier, but he rejected it. However, the Marquis is about to leave Beijing, so naturally he has to have a caring person by his side. So, I hope grandma will take more trouble this time."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, why didn't she understand that Xiao Jing was just using Xie Wanyu as a cover to fool her in the past?
For a moment, she was angry and chilled.
On the other side, Xue Xuening, who heard Xie Wanyu's words, was even more shocked and annoyed. She gritted her teeth to stop herself from standing up to stop them.
Xie Wanyu caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of her eye and sneered in her heart.
After she died in her previous life, she learned that Xue Xuening made Xiao Jing swear not to touch her or other women before she entered the house. Later, Mrs. Xiao mentioned the matter of taking concubines several times. Xiao Jing either borrowed her name or directly asked her to refuse, so Mrs. Xiao gradually became dissatisfied with her.
In this life, she wanted to see how long Xiao Jing could stick to her oath without her standing in the way!
Regardless of the mood of the other two people, Xie Wanyu left Tai'antang with a smile. Before leaving, she said to Xue Xuening with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest sister-in-law, when grandma gives us a few young and beautiful beauties, I think she will be able to come to this house soon." There are groups of children, and if the eldest sister-in-law feels lonely at that time, she can hold one or two to raise her!"
After that, he ignored Xue Xuening's pale face and walked away.
Xue Xuening returned to the West Courtyard with a gloomy expression. As soon as she sat down, she heard the maid come to report that someone from Qiran Courtyard was here.
She was about to say no, but she didn't want to arouse suspicion, so she could only suppress her annoyance and call someone in, but she saw that the person who came was not Lan Qin, but Zhu Fang, another maid beside Xie Wanyu.
She frowned and was about to ask the other party what was wrong when she heard Zhu Fang say crisply: "Madam, my wife was sorting out the dowry recently and found that some books were not on the list. After checking where they were, she remembered that some books were quilted. If you borrow it, ask your servant to ask if you have read it."
Xue Xuening's expression froze for a moment.
The maid behind her said dissatisfiedly: "It has always been said that the Second Madam is the most generous. Why can't she even be reluctant to part with a few books and still have people come to beg for them?"
Zhu Fang raised her head, with a smile on her face, but sarcasm in her eyes, "So that Miss Biyun knows that all the books borrowed by the eldest lady are orphans or rare ancient books, and each book is worth at least a thousand taels of silver!"
Biyun was shocked, "How, how could it be so expensive?"
Zhu Fang smiled and said nothing, just looking at Xue Xuening.
Xue Xuening was embarrassed for a while, and even more angry in her heart, but she didn't show any trace of it on her face, "Miss Zhufang, please forgive me, this girl is short-sighted and speaks more frankly. Biyun, hurry up and get the book."
Biyun didn't dare to say anything anymore and quickly retreated. Not long after, she and two little maids struggled to move out a thick pile of dozens of precious ancient books.
"So many?" Zhu Fang looked surprised, "It seems that Grandma He actually forgot about it!"
Xue Xuening clenched her fingertips and reluctantly pulled her lips, "Do you want me to ask someone to take it back for you?"
"No need to trouble Madam." Zhu Fang instructs the maid behind him to take the book and respectfully leave. After only taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Biyun and said with a smile, "By the way, there has always been only one in this mansion. Old Madam and Madam Hou, there is never a second madam, so don’t call me by the wrong name next time, otherwise the rules in this house are not just for show!”
As soon as they left, Xue Xuening threw the cup and gritted her teeth and said, "Xie Wanyu, you are going too far!"
He boldly asked the maid to come to ask for the things back. Was this because he was afraid that she wouldn't return them?
"lady……"
Xue Xuening rolled his eyes and sneered: "Didn't you hear? There is only Mrs. Hou in this house, who am I? You should keep your mouth shut in the future, so as not to be misled, I can't save you!"
As he said that, he laughed at himself, "I am a concubine's daughter-in-law, and my mother's family is only a sixth-rank official. I can't compare with her famous daughter. She has the honor to call me elder sister-in-law. When she doesn't give me the honor, I will What does it count as?"
Biyun said hurriedly: "Which family is not sorted by eldest and youngest? You are the eldest, so naturally you are the eldest lady. Why do you need to argue with that screwdriver who has no rules? When the Marquis finds out later, he will definitely feel distressed again!"
Xue Xuening paused after hearing this, her eyes flickering, "Go and send a message to the Marquis saying that I am sick."
I wanted to let Xie Wanyu go for a while because she wanted to raise her son for her in the future. Since she doesn't know what's good, don't blame her for not caring about her sister-in-law!
Qi Ranyuan.
After rummaging carefully, Xie Wanyu picked out a copy of "Military Bei Zhi" from a pile of rare ancient books.
After reading it briefly, she realized why she had ignored this book in the first place.
The first half of the book was all about the military preparations, which was very boring, but the second half began to describe the key points and treatment methods of the army. Even though she was not familiar with medical skills, she could still see the extraordinary in it.
Among the diseases in the army, the first is golden sores, followed by poisoning, falling from horses, and horse bites. These four diseases are the most common symptoms of soldiers in the army, and the book has extremely detailed treatment methods for them, and they are more advanced than today. The treatment methods are much better.
In addition to these, there are also many treatments and prescriptions for difficult diseases, which are truly rare!
No wonder Xue Xuening in her previous life had such a high reputation in the military and among the people based on this book!
She closed the book, thoughtfully.
Xue Xuening was able to return the book directly because she had not yet discovered the mystery. Naturally, she could not give the book to him again. However, keeping the book in her hands would be a waste, but she could not pass it around at will.
Not to mention other things, if used well, those methods of treating diseases in the military can win over a large number of soldiers.
Send it back to Xie’s house? She shook her head. Now that the Xie family was already in a raging fire, there was no need to increase its reputation.
Introduced to the public? She couldn't guarantee that those doctors wouldn't be too self-conscious.
Suddenly, she heard the maid outside whispering excitedly: "...His Royal Highness, King Qin, defeated the Duoluo Kingdom and will return to the capital soon according to the order! Your Highness is really amazing, and he is worthy of being the God of War of our Great Yan Dynasty. !”
King Qin?
Xie Wanyu was in a daze. A flash of the extremely aggressive figure of Ang Zang flashed in her mind, and a name slowly escaped from her teeth.
"Tai Shuyi..."
