Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Chapter 70: Conversation

Tong Nuanyan thought carefully in her mind and planned to put a robot beside Yinzhen when he set out. If there was no danger, she would use it as a servant.

If something unexpected happens...

For a moment, Tong Nuanyan had a headache. She would be exposed and she wouldn't know how to explain it.

Yinzhen patted her back and soothed her softly, thinking that she was still worried that he would not be able to make it back in time, and hurriedly said, "During lunch, I will discuss this matter with Fu Jin and entrust you to her care."

Tong Nuanyan knew that this was for her own good. The Fourth Lady was taking care of her personally, and if anything went wrong, she would be doomed. Although she wouldn't take it too seriously, she would still take care of herself.

In the afternoon, Fu Jin ordered someone to come and talk to her.

Tong Nuanyan took Qiuyu to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered, she was surprised by the lively conversation inside.

The voice sounded like Li's, and she was saying something sarcastic: "Oh, everyone knows how worried Sister Wu Ya has been for the past half month. Her eyes are all black and blue, but it didn't impress the Fourth Master and the Lady."

Su from the other side chimed in: "Yes, we all saw it, and now the Second Princess has been given to Sister Zhang."

Zhang?

Didn't Yinzhen always want to give the child to Su? Why did he give the child to Zhang?

The sharp-eyed Wuya Gege saw the corner of Tong Nuanyan's clothes and stood up and saluted: "I, your servant, pay my respects to the concubine."

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to shut up and follow suit. Su was secretly complaining, wondering how could someone hear her words.

Tong Nuanyan sat down and saw that Zhang and Song were not there, as if they hadn't heard anything. She asked, "I just heard someone talking outside. What were you talking about?"

Su said sourly, "Concubine, you don't know that the Fourth Master gave the Second Princess to Sister Zhang to raise."

Tong Nuanyan smiled and said, "Then when Zhang Gege comes, we should congratulate her. Zhang Gege entered the mansion earlier than me, and it has been five or six years. She has never had a child. Now that she has a second Gege, I don't know how happy she will be."

Su was a little angry, but she couldn't say anything else, so she could only say awkwardly: "I thought so too, I should congratulate Sister Zhang."

Li was watching from the side, feeling a little angry in her heart. Su didn't have any help, so everything she said was useless, and she had to do it again.

"Concubine, we feel that Sister Wuya has been very concerned about the Second Princess these days. We thought that Sister Wuya would raise her."

Tong Nuanyan glanced at Wu Ya who was sitting in the back without saying anything, then looked at Li who was expecting her to speak, and said with a smile: "Fourth Master naturally has his own considerations. If he is concerned about the child, he should give the child to others to raise, instead of considering safety. I remember that Fu Jin raised the child for more than a month, right?"

Li's face became stiff, tears immediately began to flow from her eyes, and she was about to cry: "That's not what I meant."

At this time, before Tong Nuanyan could say anything, Qiu Li, the head aunt of the main courtyard, came out supporting the Fourth Lady.

"I, your concubine, pay my respects to Madam Madam, may Madam Madam be blessed with good health and good health!"

The Fourth Lady sat on the chair in the middle before calling for people to get up. For a moment, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.

She looked over and asked, "Where are Song Gege and Zhang Gege?"

Su, who lived with the two, said nervously, "Reporting to the Lady, Sister Song said that she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. As for Sister Zhang, it must be her first time raising a child and she is not used to it yet."

The Fourth Lady's face darkened and she felt a little uncomfortable. These two people no longer took her seriously.

"Song Gege feels uncomfortable in her stomach? Is she having a miscarriage? Qiu Li, let's ask a doctor to take a look later."

As the Fourth Lady spoke, she never mentioned Zhang. Although she didn't care about a princess, the Fourth Master took the Second Princess away without consulting her, which made her resentful.

Tong Nuanyan sat on a chair, stroking her bulging belly, and said to Fu Jin: "I wonder why Fu Jin called us here today?"

The Fourth Lady glanced at her, coughed lightly, and said, "During lunch, the Fourth Master told me that the Emperor sent him to Jiangnan on an errand. He might be gone for three months or more, and he will leave in a few days."

Except for Tong Nuanyan who knew it early on, everyone else looked a little hesitant. The fourth lady got angry when she saw Tong Nuanyan's nonchalant look, and guessed that she knew it earlier than herself.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, the Fourth Lady said, "The Fourth Master will leave in three days. During the few months that the Fourth Master is away, we have to guard the rear house for him."

As she spoke, she stared at Wu Ya and said, "I understand Sister Wu Ya's desire to raise the Second Princess, but since the Fourth Master has already decided on the Second Princess's adoptive mother, we should not cause any more trouble."

Wu Ya's face turned pale, her throat tightened, and she responded in a low voice.

Tong Nuanyan watched this scene and felt secretly resentful in her heart. The Fourth Master was not around, but Lady Fu Jin wanted to bring up the issue of raising the child at this time. Would Uya let go of this opportunity?

Just as she was thinking carefully, the Fourth Lady's eyes looked at her like nails. When she raised her head, she saw the Fourth Lady's venomous snake eyes.

"Concubine, you are five months pregnant now, so you must pay close attention to yourself. The Fourth Master will be back in at least three months, so you must pay even more attention to him."

Tong Nuanyan smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, I will be more careful."

Afterwards, the Fourth Lady said a few more things, which were nothing more than asking Li Gege to pay more attention to offspring, saying that Huai Ke and Hong Yun were sick every other day, which made people worry.

Li couldn't refute it, so she could only nod her head and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam. Huai Ke and Hong Yun were born with diseases. It's because of my bad luck that the two children are weak and sickly."

Tong Nuanyan sat right opposite Li, and she admired her for the way she could shed tears at any time. But she also thought that she could do it, too, except that she didn't shed as many tears as her.

The Fourth Lady looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister Su, it's been almost a year since you had your difficult labor. You should think about having another baby. During the few months when the Fourth Master is away, you should take good care of yourself so that you can get pregnant again."

Su was a little confused for a moment. When she heard the Fourth Lady mention the difficult labor, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She once again remembered that when she had a difficult labor, the Fourth Master carried Tong Jia away without even looking at his child.

She almost couldn't keep her expression on her face, and said woodenly, "Yes, I will take good care of myself and try to get pregnant again."

She must give birth to a boy in one go to replace Hongzhao's position in the Fourth Master's heart.

Tong Nuanyan felt that Su's gaze on her was becoming increasingly deep, and she couldn't help but sigh softly. Some people really don't reflect on themselves and can only vent their anger on others.

The Fourth Lady was very satisfied with her position. Yes, the more enemies Tong Jia had, the more secure her position as Lady was. She was naturally happy to see someone helping her deal with her enemies.

Uya was like a transparent person from the beginning. Seeing that the Fourth Lady had nothing to say to her, she couldn't help but feel angry. She was the distant niece of Concubine De, but the Fourth Lady actually ignored her like this.

Thinking of this, she began to resent the Fourth Lady in her heart.
