Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

When they were halfway through the meal, Nanny Sun brought a fish dish and placed it in front of Old Madam Ye.

When she was putting the fish away, she happened to take it from Ye Yanran, and a fishy smell rushed into her nose.

Ye Yanran felt her stomach suddenly churning, and she couldn't suppress the feeling of nausea.

She covered her mouth with her hands, looking extremely uncomfortable. Without even saying a word to Old Madam Ye, she stood up and walked towards the door.

I couldn't help but dry heave a few times as I walked.

The ladies present were all shrewd people. When they saw Ye Yanran like this, their first thought was that Ye Yanran was pregnant.

But how could she, an unmarried girl, get pregnant?

Several ladies looked at Old Madam Ye in unison. Although they didn't say anything, they couldn't hide the inquiring look in their eyes.

Madam Ye, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly looked extremely ugly.

She was extremely unhappy in her heart, but she had to pretend to be calm.

"Yanran said she felt uncomfortable in her stomach this morning. I told her to take medicine and rest in her room, but she refused to listen and insisted on attending the Spring Banquet."

The old lady of Guangping Marquis at the side agreed with a smile, "Yanran is a filial child and a good child."

"She is just too strong-willed."

Old Madam Ye was worthy of being a veteran in the backyard. A smile soon appeared on her face again. She chatted and laughed with several familiar ladies, not taking what happened to Ye Yanran just now to heart at all.

She waited until the Spring Banquet was over, and when she returned to her room, her face instantly turned cold.

"Madame Sun, go and call Yanran over."

"Yes."

Nanny Sun almost ran to call Ye Yanran to the old lady's room, and Madam Gan also went with her.

"Yanran, tell me what's going on?"

The moment she saw Old Madam Ye, Ye Yanran's eyes were filled with tears, and big tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

It looked so pitiful.

"Please don't blame your granddaughter."

"Tell me, what's going on? You're not really pregnant, are you?"

The teacup in Old Madam Ye's hand fell to pieces at Ye Yanran's feet with a clang.

"Yes, I am pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child for over a month."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Ye felt her head buzzing and she almost couldn't sit still.

"How can you be so unruly, you damn girl? The girls of our Danyang Marquis Mansion have always had the best reputation in the capital. Anyone who mentions our girls of Danyang Marquis Mansion will praise them."

"You are doing this, you want all the girls in our mansion to die with you."

Old Madam Ye had a gloomy face and she wished she could just go up and tear Ye Yanran to pieces.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter and the Fourth Prince are in love with each other. Please help us."

"Is this a matter of whether I can accomplish this or not? If the Fourth Prince really likes you, then let him come to propose marriage instead of secretly getting you pregnant."

"Yanran, Yanran, your grandmother has taught you so much, why are you so confused about this matter?"

"Madame Sun, please help me get some medicine back secretly. We can't keep this child."

Ye Yanran had long expected that Old Madam Ye would do this, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

"Grandmother, I am pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child. Grandmother has no right to ask your granddaughter to abort the child without informing the Fourth Prince."

Old Madam Ye didn't expect that Ye Yanran, who was usually the most gentle and obedient, would be so tough at this time.

"Very good, Yanran, you have planned this long ago."

"Grandma, I don't understand. My marriage to the Fourth Prince will only benefit the Marquisate. Why don't you actively arrange this marriage? Instead, you want me to not have the child."

Old Madam Ye was so angry that she felt dizzy and wanted to strangle Ye Yanran to death.

"Grandmother naturally has no objection to marrying into the Fourth Prince's mansion in a formal way, but you used these dirty means to marry into the Prince's mansion. Do you think the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine will look upon you with respect?"

"If you are not careful, you might not even get a wife, and it will only bring shame to our Danyang Marquisate."

"Mom, you must think of a way. Our Yanran can only be the principal wife."

Gan Fu gritted his teeth and knelt at Old Madam Ye's feet. At this time, the old lady and the marquis had to come forward.

"They are all good daughters you have taught."

Old Madam Ye was too lazy to waste words with them, so she asked Nanny Sun to arrest Ye Yanran. She went to the front yard to meet the old marquis to discuss countermeasures.

Just as Ye Yanran said, the baby in her belly is the Fourth Prince's. If this matter is not handled properly, the Fourth Prince might have a rift with the Marquis' Mansion.

The old marquis was listening to music in the front yard again. Seeing how relaxed he looked, Old Madam Ye was furious.

"My Lord, you never ask about the affairs of the mansion, so I won't care about them anymore. I don't care what troubles those youngsters cause."

When the old marquis heard that Madam Ye's tone was wrong, he immediately put on a smile and asked what had happened.

Old Madam Ye, with a sullen face, glanced at the celebrities in the room. They quickly stood up and left, fearing that if they walked too slowly they would be killed by the old madam's glare.

When only Old Madam Ye and the old marquis were left in the study, she told them about Ye Yanran.

The old marquis was also shocked. He never expected that Ye Yanran, who was usually honest and well-behaved, would suddenly do such a rebellious thing.

"What should we do? If Yanran's reputation is ruined, our Danyang Marquis Mansion will not be in any good situation either."

"There are only two options now. Either we quietly deal with Yanran, and if the Fourth Prince asks about it, we can say that Yanran is sick."

"As long as we suppress the fact that she's pregnant, the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion won't be damaged at all, but Yanran will definitely hold a grudge against us. When she marries into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she will naturally not be close to us."

"Yanran's path to supporting the Marquis' Mansion has been cut off."

"Another way is to actively arrange a marriage between the Fourth Prince and Yanran, but this matter will require the Marquis to personally step in. After all, Yanran being pregnant before marriage is not a glorious thing, and this matter must be resolved immediately with a quick knife."

When Old Madam Ye said this, the old marquis's expression also turned unhappy.

It was too embarrassing for him to shamelessly run around for Ye Yanran. He felt a sharp pain in his liver just thinking about it.

But if we don’t do this, it would be a pity for the Danyang Marquis’ Mansion to lose such a good helper like Ye Yanran.

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, the old marquis decided to work hard for Ye Yanran and facilitate her marriage to the Fourth Prince.

Ye Yanran has been pregnant for more than a month, so this matter naturally cannot be delayed any longer.

The next day, the old marquis sent a letter to the palace to meet Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, who had to make the decision on the matter.

Only with her nod can the marriage be successful.

"It is a blessing for the fourth son that the old marquis is willing to marry his granddaughter to him. I will tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to quickly draft a plan and ask them to go to the marquis' mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible."

When the old marquis saw that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui agreed so readily, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled as to why she agreed so readily.

In the past, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui never thought much of their family. After all, he had handed over the military power long ago. The border had been stable in the past two years and there was no war to fight. He only held a sinecure position in the court.

Before entering the palace, he even thought that if Imperial Noble Consort Dehui did not agree to the marriage, he would have to ask Emperor Jing to intervene.
