I was a housekeeper in ancient times

"My dear Madam, the Lord has passed away. Thinking about these empty things is just torturing yourself. Madam, you should think about how to make the first wife gain a foothold in the Lord's Mansion and not be looked down upon. The reason why the old lady dared to take action against the fourth lady is because she saw that you, Madam, have no one to rely on and the first wife has no male heir to inherit the throne."

Lin Weiqiao took Yu Muyan's hand and said earnestly that she really put all her patience on Yu Muyan. If it was Huan Jie'er, she would have taken action long ago.

"Mrs. Lian's pregnancy is most likely to be a boy. With this child, even if he is born out of wedlock, Madam can register him as hers, which means he is a legitimate child and should inherit the title. In this way, the first branch will have a foundation, and who would dare to plot against the first branch's title and family property? Even Madam and her sisters will have someone to rely on in the future."

If you ask her why she was so sure that Aunt Lian's baby was a boy, it was probably her intuition or God's will.

Afraid that Yu Muyan wouldn't listen, she even used Sister Fan as an example. "If the fourth young lady had a brother who inherited the title, she wouldn't have encountered such a thing. This time, the fourth young lady is lucky and has a good life, so she is safe. I don't even dare to think about it, what if something happens to the fourth young lady..."

At the end of her words, Yu Muyan fell into a long silence, staring at Fan Jie'er who was still sleeping soundly.

At this time, the light from outside shone in from the window and shone on the floor, making the room half dark and half bright.

Lin Weiqiao stood up, walked into the light and shadow, turned around to look at Yu Muyan and her daughter who were still in the shadows.

With Sister Fan's return, the entire Pingrong Marquis's mansion became lively.

Nanny Guo and her husband made great contributions, so it goes without saying that Yu Muyan rewarded them generously.

Nanny Guo was a very sensible person. When she received the reward, she did not think of keeping it all for herself, but also shared some with Lin Weiqiao.

Lin Weiqiao refused again and again, "No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't take your things. This is what you should take. You and your wife have been running around for the fourth lady's affairs these days. You have worked hard and have not been able to take care of your family."

Nanny Guo said, "I know that mother entrusted this matter to me because she trusted me. Otherwise, why didn't she give it to someone else? This trip actually didn't take much effort. It was the second son Qi who helped a lot. Madam was very generous and gave us so many rewards. We really don't dare to enjoy them all by ourselves."

"I didn't do much, I just talked. You should just accept it. You and your wife are the backbone of the family. I'm sure your family must have had a hard time while you were away. You should just take these rewards and treat yourself and your family well. Also, stay with the fourth lady for a while. If someone asks you how you found her, just say you happened to be visiting relatives in Lihua Village."

"Don't worry, mom. I understand."

After being busy for most of the day, going in and out, Lin Weiqiao felt sore in the waist and back. She found a secluded place to rest and massage her calves. She had to go to Green Bamboo Residence later.

She had some concerns. It might not be that easy for Aunt Lian to give birth to the baby legitimately and keep it in the Earl's Mansion.

It goes without saying that Aunt Lian wanted to keep the baby in her womb, but facing the majesty of the Bo's Mansion, the judgment of the world, and her inner struggle, it was difficult for Aunt Lian to take it for granted that the child was Lu Yuxuan's.

She was worried that Aunt Lian didn't have the courage to do so, and would she feel guilty when faced with other people's doubts?

Also, Aunt Lian and her servant kept their mouths shut, so they would naturally take this secret to their graves.

But in this matter, there is one person who cannot be ignored—Auntie Lian’s lover.

Did he know that Aunt Lian was pregnant? Did he know that the child in Aunt Lian's belly was his?

If the news that Aunt Lian was pregnant with Lu Yuxuan's posthumous child got out and he knew about it, would he turn against her and make a big deal about his affair with Aunt Lian?

If you think about it this way, this person is a hidden danger, and since he is not in the Bo's Mansion, he cannot be prevented and cannot be kept.

"Hey, Mother Lin, you're here! It took me so long to find you!"

The sudden voice startled Lin Weiqiao. She looked over and saw it was Mrs. Wu, holding a box in her hand.

She retracted her murderous intent and said, "Sister-in-law, you are a rare guest. How come you have time to come?"

If one of them calls her mother and the other sister-in-law, logically she should be older. But actually, it is not the case, because Sister-in-law Wu is a few years older than her.

Because Sister-in-law Wu is older than her mother-in-law, Aunt Wu, and Sister-in-law Wu came as a dowry with Aunt Wu. She is younger than Mother Sun, and she was called Sister-in-law by Ding's parents even when she was still in her parents' home, and she has never changed that.

Mrs. Wu sat beside her as soon as she arrived and opened the lid. "Here are some dried goods I got, including dried whitebait, dried bacon, dried rabbit meat, and pinewood smoked meat. I know you like to eat them, so I brought some for you."

She just smiled and accepted it without any hesitation. These dry goods looked to be of top quality. "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Look at what you are talking about. If there is nothing wrong, can't I bring it to you?"

"Aren't you afraid of being soft-hearted and short-handed?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious. How did the fourth girl find herself when she disappeared for so long? You're the first lady's companion, did you know about this a long time ago?"

"No, I only found out after the fourth lady found it. It was because of the fourth lady's great fortune and God's blessing that she was able to find it safely."

Mrs. Wu naturally didn't believe it. What they had heard was that Nanny Guo and her husband went with Qi Motai to look for them. But the question was, why would Nanny Guo and her husband go to a small village like Lihua Village for no reason?

Lin Weiqiao knew that the other party was here to get information, so she was too lazy to pay attention and picked up the box. "I still have things to do. I'll talk to my sister-in-law another day when I have time."

Having said that, he hurried away, fearing that Mrs. Wu would take the things back. It would be a waste not to take advantage of the second house, especially since she was really greedy for these dry goods.

At the corner, she met Sister Huan who came to see her. When Sister Huan saw the dry goods in her hand, her eyes lit up, "Mom, where did you get these things?"

She said unhappily, "If it was given by someone else, how could it be stolen?"

"Mom, are you crazy? Who made you angry?"

"No one, I'm just upset. You're being lazy again. Isn't the kitchen busy at this time?"

"Oh, that's why I came to see you. The fourth young lady has been found. I live in her room. Can I go back and serve her?"

"I can, but I think the big kitchen needs you more."

Sister Liu Huan is in the big kitchen and is considered the eldest wife's spy. If anything happens, there will be someone to tip her off, otherwise the second wife will have complete dominance.

Food has always been a big deal, and the kitchen is the place where greed is most likely to occur. If there is really no one in the big kitchen, it would be much more difficult for her to understand the situation.
