After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

When Yang and Xichun heard that I was back, they hurried over to serve me.

As we were eating, Jinping couldn't help but ask me, "You were so sick yesterday that you couldn't move in bed. How come you look like you've recovered today?"

Zhao Zhenyuan also quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "Father also heard that you vomited blood, why don't you rest well in the palace?"

I picked up a piece of fish for Ah Qiao who was sitting next to me, and carefully picked out the bones for her, then said: "After I woke up from a nap yesterday, I felt that the symptoms of my body suddenly disappeared. Now that I am better, I don't want to lie down anymore, so I want to go out of the palace and come back to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a few days."

Jinping witnessed how sick I was, and he didn't believe any nonsense about how I could get well after a good night's sleep. There must be something serious going on, but with so many people around, he couldn't continue asking questions. But Zhao Zhenyuan was not someone that could be fooled so easily.

He frowned and said, "I've seen you look sick before, you looked deathly, but now although you are still pale, the deathly look is gone. It must be wrong for you to recover so quickly. Let's ask Doctor Sun to come and take a look tomorrow."

Jinping was afraid that Zhao Zhen might notice something, so he quickly said, "Imperial Physician Sun has retired and is no longer seeing patients. I'm afraid he won't be able to come if we ask him to. After court is dismissed tomorrow, we'll go to the Imperial Physician's Office and ask another imperial physician to come and see us."

Zhao Zhenyuan said "hmm" to show his agreement. In the end, there were many things to do in the military camp, and he was too busy to take care of other things. Now that Jinping said he would personally go to ask the imperial physician, he didn't have to worry about it. After all, Jinping was good at doing things, and he would definitely do a good job of anything he was given.

I really wanted to say no, I'm not sick, I guess the doctor would just prescribe some medicine to regulate my body, which wouldn't work at all. But I couldn't say it, someone who was so sick and about to die, but suddenly wandered around full of energy, it looked very strange, I might as well go along with them and ask the doctor to take a look.

Zheng Yunyan was originally a lively and cheerful person, but since she took over the reins of the Duke's Mansion from Yi Ping, she has become much more haggard and less talkative.

I looked at Zheng Yunyan eating silently with her head down, and couldn't help but say, "Now the Duke's Mansion has more and more shops, and sister-in-law can hardly manage them all by herself. Let's sell some of the shops that don't make much money. Anyway, we are not short of money now, so there is no need to ruin our health for a few taels of silver."

When Zheng Yunyan heard this, she quickly raised her head and looked at me with sparkling eyes, as if I had a halo of the Virgin Mary that illuminated her whole body.

Jinping glanced at Zheng Yunyan, then at me, and said, "Ah Man is right. My father is currently on a salary of 3-9. Too much money will only make people jealous. Sell off some of the shops that don't make much money, and only have a few that can cover the expenses of the mansion."

Zhao Zhenyuan never cared about household affairs. He didn't even know how many people were in the mansion. He didn't even know how much his salary was. He always got it from the Ministry of Revenue. So when we talked about selling the shop, he didn't care at all. He just went to the housekeeper to get the money when he needed it. He was also a thrifty person. He didn't spend much money a month, so the amount of money the shop had didn't matter to him.

So Zhao Zhenyuan didn't say anything, just drank and ate in silence.

Yingchun's family of three ate their meal in silence and did not dare to interrupt.

They were very clear about their status. Although they were the goddaughters of the Duke's Mansion, to put it bluntly, this was the face given by the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, they would be servants. Being able to dine at the same table with the master was already a great honor, so how dare they say anything and get involved.

Zheng Yunyan was really exhausted. She patrolled the shops during the day and checked accounts at night. After checking the accounts, she had to take care of the child. If the child was not noisy, it would be fine. If he was very noisy, she would have to take care of him.

Jinping didn't care about these things. He was busy with his work and had to be on guard against villains every day. He was extremely nervous. After having a child, he slept in the study every night and never went back to the master bedroom.

This is also one of the things that makes Zheng Yunyan sad. Not only does her husband want to help her, but he also wants to separate from her. Then what is the difference between her and a widow?

But she didn't know who to tell these words to.

No one from her family was in the capital. After I fell ill, I lived in the palace for a long time. Yiping went to the border. She had a very hard time every day and felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. She never thought that I would propose to sell part of the shop. How could she not be ecstatic?

Now that the shop matter has been settled, I continued, "Aqiao is old enough, so you can arrange a separate room for her. Big brother, have you ever considered the feelings of your sister-in-law when you sleep in the study every day? She is your wife, a wife who came from far away, who gave birth to your children, took care of the household chores, and managed the Duke's Mansion in perfect order. You must have burned incense in your previous life to marry such a woman in this life, and you dare to ignore her?"

When I mentioned selling the shop, Zheng Yunyan just felt that the burden on her shoulders would finally be lightened, but she didn't expect that I would directly talk about her and her husband.

Every word I said was what she wanted to say, but she never dared to say it out loud. Because everyone in the Duke's Mansion treated her very well, not long after she married in, Yi Ping automatically handed over the power of household affairs to her.

My mother was shocked when she saw this. She touched her tight belly and asked nervously, "Mom, what are you doing?"

The old lady said with a gloomy face: "Your baby is a disaster, so of course you can't let him come into this world, otherwise I don't know how many people he will harm."

After the old lady finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the old mother behind her came forward with a bowl of black medicine.

Although my mother was brought up to be lazy and could not tell the difference between grains, she was not stupid. She understood at a glance that the old lady wanted her to have a miscarriage.

But her baby is already full-term and will be pregnant soon. If she has an abortion at this time, there is a high possibility that both the baby and the woman will die!

My mother shook her head in panic and said, "No, my son is not a nuisance. This is the memory that Zhao Lang left for me. You can't do this."

The old lady was so angry that she slapped my mother in the face and said, "Don't mention my Dalang. If you weren't pregnant with a ghost baby, would my Dalang die?"

Five hand marks immediately appeared on my mother's fair face. She covered her face with her hands in pain and cried heartbrokenly.

She had never been slapped in her life, and this slap made her feel shocked, panicked, and wronged. She didn't know how to react for a moment and could only cry.

When my second sister saw the old lady beating my mother, she was so angry that she rushed up to her and punched and kicked her.

The old lady was furious. She didn't expect that the younger sister would dare to hit the older sister when she was disobedient. So she raised her foot and kicked my second sister out.

The old lady kicked my sister with all her strength, and she vomited blood. After a while, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

My mother was so frightened that she screamed, "Erbao, my dear Erbao, what's wrong with you?"
