Someone shouted loudly: "Old He, you don't have to ask for a relative, everyone wants to curry favor with him."

Some rolled their eyes, and some said with disgust: "How can you dream in broad daylight? How can this blessing go back to your family? It is obviously ours."

Everybody was making a fuss, talking one after another, and it was so lively that it woke up Xia Yining and the others.

The little kid frowned and whined, obviously unhappy about being woken up. Like a cute little fat pig, he lay on the bed with his butt sticking up, his hair messed up and covered with the quilt.

The Prime Minister's wife's heart softened when she saw this, and she reached out her hand to gently pat her on the back. When Mrs. He, who had already reached out her hand, saw this, she paused and silently retracted her hand, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Unexpectedly, a pair of soft hands came over and said with a distant look in her eyes: "Sister He is a little too cautious. You should be the same as you were before."

"Don't think Yan'er will be jealous. I'm so happy to have another mother loving Ning'er."

"If Sister He keeps being so cautious, Ning Bao will eventually be hurt. Then..." The beautiful eyes glanced at her, making Mrs. He feel that she was just acting coquettishly and not mean at all.

"You'll be the one who's sad then, and I won't help to persuade you~!" The words sounded both arrogant and sweet.

This made Mrs. He reflect carefully. She thought that ever since Madam Xi came, she had been reluctant to leave Ning'er in her heart. She was very nervous all day long and her personality became more cautious.

Yesterday, when I saw that Ning'er's mother was so beautiful, she seemed not like an ordinary person, I felt even more inferior. I thought that my previous idea that Ning'er was my own child was ridiculous.

Ning'er left quickly because she was nervous, and she seemed petty all the time, which was really unlike her.

After figuring out a lot of things, Mrs. He felt her body lighten. She exhaled a breath from her chest and smiled.

She said cheerfully, "Thank you, Sister Yan'er, for your advice. You are right. I am thinking about you."

"I actually kept thinking about Ning'er's departure, and I let my obsession bind my hands and feet. I really shouldn't have done that. I won't do that again in the future, don't worry."

Seeing that she really understood, the Prime Minister's wife smiled and turned over and said, "Actually, I often sleep in when I'm at home. Fortunately, no one in the yard knows about it."

"Today is even better. I can sleep a little longer at home. Sister He doesn't have to keep any food for me." After saying that, she yawned very delicately, and curled up into a ball with the little baby beside her. The mother and daughter slept soundly.

Mrs. He: “…”

Seeing her fall asleep in seconds, he shook his head helplessly, covered the two of them with the quilt, and then tiptoed out of the room. Seeing Nanny Gu standing at the door, he whispered, "She fell asleep again, don't disturb them."

Nanny Gu, who knew her young lady's shortcomings well, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said a little embarrassedly: "Madam is not like this at home, she just can't get up because she is tired from the long journey."

When I spoke, I felt guilty.

Mrs. He looked at her with a complicated expression, but she didn't say what she heard in the room. She just nodded and said, "Well, you need to have a good rest after a long journey."

"Steam two bowls of egg custard for them later, and cook some millet porridge. Ning'er likes to eat steamed dumplings, so steam a few more and put them in the hot pot."

Nanny Gu followed behind her, and when she heard her talking about what the young lady liked to eat, she couldn't help but curl up her lips and said anxiously, "Just let the old servants do it, and Madam He can just teach the servants."

This made Mrs. He a little uncomfortable, so she said directly: "The He family is just an ordinary peasant family, there is no such thing as Madam. If Madam Gu dislikes it, just call her Mrs. He from now on."

The maids following behind also looked at each other, and then looked to Nanny Gu for help. They knew very well that this was their little sister's savior.

If they were slaves and servants, they would probably be sold out by the Madam in the next second. Thinking of this, she trembled several times.

After receiving their signal, Madam Gu smiled and said, "That won't do. In the Xia Mansion, only people of my age would be called Gu Pozi or something like that. You must never address me like that."

Mrs. He really didn't know this and looked at her curiously. Who is Nanny Gu? She serves her master all day long and has a very good eyesight.

Following behind her, he watched her do whatever she did and explained the rules of a wealthy family as if they were chatting, especially how servants addressed each other. Before he knew it, breakfast was ready.

After hearing this, Mrs. He said that she had learned a lot and stopped worrying about how they called her. She just gave up.

Seeing how Nanny Gu dealt with Madam He with just a few words, the little maids all looked at her with admiration, and they only wondered when they could be as capable as Nanny and be able to solve all kinds of problems.

When Xu came over, she saw that the kitchen was full of people, so she wanted to take a few steps inside, but was stopped by Mrs. He, "Everything is done, don't come here to get involved in the fumes."

Thinking that Ning'er's parents were there, she came out and said, "You and the eldest brother go to town to buy more ducks, roast them and bring them back. You can't let your aunt and Uncle Xia eat too badly at home."

Listening to her mother-in-law's instructions, Xu nodded repeatedly, without a trace of feeling sorry for the money. She just felt that her mother was really amazing and was very thoughtful and thorough in doing things, unlike her who was careless and rough.

In a cheerful tone, he said, "Don't worry, mother. I promise to roast the duck beautifully. Just wait."

After he finished speaking, he was about to run out, but Grandma He grabbed his arm and said, "If you want to go, go after dinner. There's no need to waste a little time."

But Xu shook her head and said, "No, there must be food in the store. If we go to town early, we can buy a few more to avoid running out of food."

Seeing her anxious look, Mrs. He nodded her head and scolded her with a smile: "Look at how impatient you are. You can't even wait a little longer."

"When you and the eldest brother go to the town, take your aunt with you and ask her who she wants to teach how to roast duck. We may not be able to stay in this small village for long." While speaking, she was looking at the expression of the eldest brother's wife, afraid that she would be unhappy.

Little did she know that the daughter-in-law was heartless. When she heard that her aunt was asked to learn how to cook roast duck, Xu knew very well that her mother was going to follow her sister-in-law and go to the capital in advance.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, I promise to let the head of the family teach them, so that mother won't have to worry."

Mrs. He glanced at her and finally asked the question in her heart.
