"Since you have displeased Concubine Nian, I will punish you by making you go to Concubine Nian's house for an hour's lecture after paying your respects every day. The limit will be one month." Wang Ruofu said with a smile.

She didn't know that she now looked like a treacherous villain who was eager for the rear house to be on fire, but bystanders like Feng Ruozhao and Cao Qinmo could see it clearly.

They all understood Wang Ruofu's plan at the same time, and decided to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, letting someone like Yun Ruofang, who had some means and courage, divert Nian Shilan's attention.

Nian Shilan's life was not so comfortable, so naturally she had no time to think about the position of consort and the power of housekeeper.

Feng Ruozhao often played mahjong with Wang Ruofu, and he couldn't help feeling confused. When did Fu Jin become so smart?

Nian Shilan and Yun Ruofang were both stunned when they heard the punishment. The former thought the punishment was too light, while the latter was afraid that Nian Shilan would use some unnoticeable means to make things difficult for her.

It was Yun Ruofang who reacted first, and she looked grateful and said, "Yes, yes. I will definitely listen to the teachings of the Lady and the Concubine every day."

"Well, get up. It's not proper to kneel like this." Wang Ruofu took a sip of tea and said to Nian Shilan slowly, "I'll trouble Concubine Nian to take care of it and teach Yun Gege the rules of the mansion."

Nian Shilan sneered and turned her wrist, saying, "Since it has been handed over to me, Fu Jin can rest assured."

After she and Wang Ruofu had beaten the prince of the current dynasty and won a great victory, causing the prince to lose face and even be married off as a foreign prince, Nian Shilan's iron fist and heart of stone had begun to show.

Look, Yun Ruofang was the first one to suffer this punishment.

But she was indeed able to endure it, or it could be said that her determination to win favor and rise to the top was extremely strong. She got up early every day to pay her respects to Zheng Yuan, and then wore the super high flower pot bottoms specified by Nian Shilan to stand in Mixiu Pavilion and copy scriptures, under the pretext of praying for the child in Nian Shilan's belly.

Each stop lasted for more than an hour, and after copying the scriptures, Nian Shilan would pick on them in all kinds of ways, and she and Songzhi would join in verbal harassment and criticism.

Yun Ruofang managed to endure it all. Not only that, but when she served the Fourth Prince overnight and when he paid his respects the next day, she smiled and sincerely praised Nian Shilan for his careful cultivation of her.

At first glance, they all sound good, but after hearing them more often or thinking about them carefully, they seem not to be the case.

After hearing Yun Ruofang's flattery of Nian Shilan once again, Li Jingyan was amazed and said to Wang Ruofu: "You really can't judge a person by appearance. This Yun Gege looks so smart, how can she be so stupid?"

Wang Ruofu played a card and looked at Li Jingyan with amusement: "Do you think she is stupid?"

Li Jingyan nodded: "Yes, yes, look at her, after such a long time, she still can't see that Concubine Nian is deliberately torturing her, and she is still foolishly saying good things about Concubine Nian everywhere."

"How could someone be so stupid? It's really pitiful."

"Yeah, how could someone be so stupid that he would help others count money after being sold." Wang Ruofu looked straight at Li Jingyan and thought that if Li Jingyan was ten years younger, she would definitely let Li Jingyan be her daughter-in-law.

Good-temperedly, he teased, "Even you can see that Nian Shilan is deliberately torturing her, do you think there is anyone else in the mansion who can't see it?"

Li Jingyan was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Fujin, you mean, she did this on purpose. She is so brave, she is not afraid..."

Wang Ruofu took the silver from Li Jingyan's hand and said, "What does she have to be afraid of? She is in favor now."

The Fourth Prince, who had always been under Wang Ruofu's "a filial son is born under the stick", felt as if he had smelled the fragrance of green tea again when he met Yun Ruofang, and he could not forget it.

In addition, Yun Ruofang was the only female member of the mansion who loved poetry and songs, except Qi Yuebin, which made the Fourth Prince's long-dormant heart for romance take root again.

Apart from accompanying Wang Ruofu as usual, the Fourth Prince almost only liked to go to Yun Ruofang, quietly taking away most of Nian Shilan's favor.

"Bitch!"

There was another sound of porcelain being broken in Mi Xiu Pavilion, as well as Nian Shilan's scolding and Song Zhi and others' worried dissuasion.

Songzhi saw Nian Shilan was unhappy as always and kept throwing things around. She felt so heartbroken that she wanted to persuade her but didn't dare to. The Fourth Prince's Mansion was different from the Nian Mansion. The concubine's people kept an eye on the account books and inventory.

These things must be compensated for according to the government's prices afterwards, and the more times you deliberately damage items, the more you will face fines in addition to compensation each time.

At first, Nian Shilan mocked Fu Jin for being petty, but after the Fourth Prince thought that Fu Jin's move was very good, Nian Shilan didn't say anything more.

After more than a year of marriage, Nian Shilan's savings have been dwindling at an alarming rate, but Nian Shilan herself has no appreciation for money and continues to spend it extravagantly.

Nian Shilan was still not satisfied after throwing the things: "Go call that bitch over here."

"No, Concubine." Lingzhi spoke before Songzhi and analyzed calmly, "Now the prince is very interested in Yun Gege, and even Concubine has not said much."

"I guess that if you step out and act like a bad guy at this time, it will only make Prince unhappy, and the only one who will be happy will be Fu Jin."

Songzhi said, "Yes, Concubine, the most important thing now is that you give birth to the little prince safely."

No matter how much Songzhi and Lingzhi tried to persuade her, Nian Shilan could not tolerate her temper forever. Since she entered the mansion, she felt that she had been retreating again and again and had no room for retreat.

If she had to endure Yun Ruofang, who was beautiful but had no family background or brains, then Nian Shilan would be crushed into pieces.

But Yun Ruofang is an extremely daring person. She is willing to risk her face, dignity, and even her life on the table. She fights for favor and flatters Nian Shilan at all costs. She gambles that King Ruofu will not watch her being killed or maimed by Nian Shilan.

This is indeed the fact. Now is the critical moment for Honghui and Huayang to choose their marriage. Wang Ruofu will never allow any trouble or murder lawsuit to happen in the mansion, which will damage the reputation of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

With Yun Ruofang's presence, Nian Shilan's late pregnancy was particularly lively.

Until the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head, Wang Ruofu and Nian Shilan's unborn child both chose this day.

Nian Shilan was the first to have an attack this morning. The consequences of not being able to prepare for childbirth during pregnancy were revealed. She gasped, "It hurts so much! It hurts so much that I am dying. I don't want to have a baby anymore."

"Concubine, please bear with me, giving birth is always like this..."

“I can’t stand it!!!”

"What are you arguing about?"

Wang Ruofu rushed over with an equally large belly to take charge of the situation. Seeing Nian Shilan's unwillingness to cooperate, she was frightened and said, "Hey, stop yelling. Save your energy. You'll give birth faster in a while."

"Fujin." When Nian Shilan saw Wang Ruofu at this time, she felt inexplicably relieved, as if she had found an elder in her family after being wronged. She knew in her heart that no matter what, the other party would definitely protect her and had the ability to do so.

She grabbed Wang Ruofu's wrist, cold sweat began to appear on her forehead due to the pain, and she started to make a scene: "I don't want to have the baby anymore, I really don't want to have the baby anymore, please help me get rid of this baby."

"There are so many children in the mansion, why do I have to give birth to one!"

Wang Ruofu was furious: "You are a born stupid bastard, you regret it only when the time comes. Can I send this child back to Meng Po?"

The other hand tried hard to pry open Nian Shilan's fingers, but Nian Shilan's sudden fear of giving birth made her subconsciously use all her strength, but she couldn't pry them open.

Wang Ruofu was so anxious that her facial features began to twist: "Let go of me now."

Nian Shilan cried, "I'm scared!"

Wang Ruofu: "If you don't go in, it will be really dangerous!"

In the end, Wang Ruofu became anxious and began to frantically shake her hand that was being held by Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan's arm also moved forward and was finally shaken off.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help Concubine Nian in." Wang Ruofu exhaled and began to lie with her eyes open, "Giving birth is very fast, it will happen in a flash!"

Before she could finish her words, Wang Ruofu also had an attack and was supported in time by Ran Dong who came along.

Before leaving, Ran Dong picked out Li Jingyan and Feng Ruozhao, and said, "Fu Jin usually trusts you two the most. Now Fu Jin and Concubine Fu Jin are both out at the same time, and Lord Beile has not returned yet, so the overall situation can only be handed over to you temporarily."

Without waiting for their reply, he helped Wang Ruofu leave and went to the delivery room.

"Oh, okay." Li Jingyan was a little confused about the situation, and a little excited. Ran Dong just said that Fu Jin trusted her the most!

Does this mean that as long as she does this job well, she can truly become Fu Jin's own people? Then her Hongshi and Xihe can also be considered Prince Honghui's own people. Why would she still worry about having no future?

After all, Li Jingyan had the advantage of being a concubine, and with Feng Ruozhao's assistance, she was able to manage Nian Shilan in an orderly manner.

Only Nian Shilan's yelling and cursing could be heard.

"Get out of here! I told you I don't want to have a baby anymore!"

"Why doesn't this little bastard come out yet? Does he want to torture me to death?!"

"What a stupid manuscript! I will definitely get it when it comes out, ah!!!"

Fortunately, except for Li Jingyan and Feng Ruozhao who were ordered to stay, the rest felt that there was a high probability that the prince went to the main courtyard after his return, so they all left with Ran Dong, so that they were not heard by those who liked to stir up trouble.

Li Jingyan felt distressed when listening outside, worried that Nian Shilan would spend all her energy on screaming and would have no strength to give birth, and she would mess up the task assigned to her by Lady Fujin.

However, she was worrying too much. Nian Shilan was the daughter of a general and was not much inferior to Wang Ruofu in terms of physical strength. She gave birth to the child without any trouble.

"It's born, it's born, a plump, fair-skinned little boy."

Nian Shilan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time: "Smelly boy, why are you so fat?"

"Don't cry. You must not cry during the confinement period." The midwife and Songzhi stopped Nian Shilan in time.

The midwife's voice and the little prince's crying were heard. Feng Ruozhao outside finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "As long as the mother and child are safe, you have worked hard."

"After the wife gives birth, I will definitely reward her handsomely."

On the other hand, as soon as the Fourth Prince came back, he learned the news that Wang Ruofu and Nian Shilan gave birth at the same time. He was delighted because today is the second day of the second month, the day when the dragon raises its head.

"Su Peisheng, you go to the concubine's place and keep watch. As long as the concubine and the child are safe, the people serving in Mixiu Pavilion and the delivery room will all be rewarded heavily."

I went to the main courtyard by myself.

He pulled someone over and asked, "How is it? How is Fu Jin?"

"She's giving birth now, Lord Beile, don't worry. The wife has safely given birth to three little masters, and this time, both mother and child will be safe and healthy."

The fourth prince looked anxious: "I hope so."

In his mind, Fu Jin asked for this baby for his future and so that he could dispel the rumors spread about him by the Emperor's father.

If Fu Jin's health was damaged because of this child, how could he live in dignity in the future...

He was nervous and blamed himself outside the delivery room, while Wang Ruofu was relaxed inside. She had given birth so many times and her body was strong. With the help of Ran Dong and the midwife's delivery skills, this baby was born very healthily.

A loud cry was heard from the delivery room.

The midwife came out holding a royal blue swaddling cloth to congratulate: "Congratulations, Lord Beile, your wife has given birth to a little prince, and both mother and child are safe."

The fourth prince glanced at his newborn son, his face flushed, and he laughed, "Reward! There will be huge rewards!"

"Oh, Lord Beile, Concubine Nian has also given birth to a baby, also a little prince. I congratulate you, Lord Beile!" Su Peisheng came rushing over from Mixiu Pavilion, speaking joyfully.

When the Fourth Prince heard this, he was overjoyed, his face flushed with laughter, and he was more vigorous than when he was young. He waved his hand and said, "The whole mansion will be rewarded with half a year's monthly salary, and the costumes in the main courtyard and Mixiu Pavilion will be rewarded with an additional year's monthly salary."

"I would like to thank Lord Beile for his reward and congratulate Lord Beile on the birth of his precious son."

Not only was the Fourth Prince giving generous rewards, but Nian Shilan, who had just woken up, was also giving away the money. In a short while, the servants in the Fourth Prince's mansion made a fortune and were constantly congratulating him.

The two children were born on the same day, which was an auspicious day called the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head. It seemed as if the Fourth Prince wanted to take this opportunity to show off and dispel any doubts about his abilities from the outside world, so the third-day bathing and the full-moon banquet were both held with great ceremony.

Ministers and royal family members were also willing to give him this face, and they came to him frequently.

In addition, the Fourth Prince also did something big on purpose - he brought a group of servants to climb up the ladder to the Eighth Prince's mansion and threw handfuls of wedding candies and eggs into the Eighth Prince's mansion.

Fourth Prince: "Old Eight, I am very happy today. Thanks to the blessing of God, I got two big fat boys at once. Hahaha. Old Eight, don't worry. If you work hard, you can still be a father."

"……roll!"

Eighth Prince: Who would understand? I have already been imprisoned by the Emperor, yet I can still be forced to get involved with this unlucky thing!

"Hey, Eighth Brother, listen to me and be more open-minded." The Fourth Prince smiled and acted like a good brother. "You should also pay more attention to your younger brother's wife. Being jealous is natural, but being jealous will be detrimental to your offspring."

The Eighth Prince's future is now ruined, and he has no patience to pretend to be a friendly brother to the Fourth Prince. In fact, the more he looks at the Fourth Prince, the more he feels that he is insidious and cunning, and a villain who is succeeding.

He picked up teacups and vases as hidden weapons and smashed them on the Fourth Prince's forehead, "Knock this bastard down for me!"
