I was a housekeeper in ancient times

No matter how reluctant Yu Muyan was, she had to accept the fact that Aunt Lian was pregnant and assigned a few more maids to serve Aunt Lian.

This was Aunt Lian's first child, so there were many things that needed to be taken care of, so Sister Cuihong was specially sent to take care of Aunt Lian's diet.

At Lin Weiqiao's suggestion, Yu Muyan gave the Guanyu Pavilion next to Wan Jie'er's yard to Aunt Lian. Green Bamboo Residence was too remote and not suitable for Aunt Lian to raise her baby.

Guanyuxuan had been tidied up long ago, and Aunt Lian only needed to take her daily clothes over.

But no one knew what Aunt Lian was thinking. She was still reluctant to move out of Green Bamboo Residence and still felt attached to it.

She comforted him, "Auntie, this place is too remote and too shady. There are too many bamboos, which block the sunlight. It is very yin. I think you will not sleep well at night. Guanyu Pavilion is spacious and bright, with many people coming and going. It is also lively."

Aunt Lian looked back every few steps, with a heavy heart, "I've lived here since I came in, and I have feelings for it."

"We are not moving anywhere. We are still in the Bo's Mansion. Auntie can come back anytime she wants."

"Different."

She knew that rather than saying Aunt Lian was reluctant to leave Luzhuju, it would be more accurate to say that she was reluctant to leave the father of her unborn child.

She didn't know what Aunt Lian was thinking, but from the moment she decided to keep the child, Aunt Lian had no way out and had to stand on Yu Muyan's side.

When no one was around, she simply spread out her secrets and asked directly and obliquely, "Aunt, does the father of the baby in your belly know about this?"

Aunt Lian was startled, her eyes dodged, and she said guiltily: "Mom, what do you mean..."

"Aunt, you and I know this very well. You don't have to hide anything from me. At this point, you and I are already in the same boat, sharing weal and woe. You and I both know how serious this matter is, so I want to make sure it is foolproof. I see that you look haggard, so I guess you are worried about this, right?"

"you……"

The secret in her heart was revealed. For a moment, Aunt Lian's face was filled with panic, helplessness, uneasiness and shock. She didn't even dare to look directly at Lin Weiqiao. She lowered her head slightly, her nerves taut, not daring to relax.

Lin Weiqiao kindly helped Aunt Lian to sit down. She changed the direction of the book, so the fate of other people was not what she expected.

So she didn't know whether what she did was right, whether she was helping Aunt Lian or harming her. But the matter was done, and no one could turn back.

She also knew that Aunt Lian didn't want to be trapped in the Bo's mansion. Lu Yuxuan was dead. After enduring another year or so, she could ask Yu Muyan for help. Maybe Yu Muyan would let Aunt Lian leave.

However, Aunt Lian was a good girl personally found by Lu Yuxuan's aunt, the wife of the Marquis of Suining. Without the consent of the wife of the Marquis of Suining, Yu Muyan could not make this decision.

Unfortunately, the wife of Marquis Suining was a rigid and stubborn person who strictly adhered to the virtues of a woman and took the Three Obediences and Four Virtues as her life doctrine. She would never allow a woman to betray her husband after marriage.

The third son of the wife of Marquis Suining died early, and the third daughter-in-law was in her youth and had no children. Logically, after the mourning period, she could have been sent back to her parents' home and remarried. However, the wife of Marquis Suining refused to let her daughter-in-law go home, and required her to remain a widow for the rest of her life for her son.

According to the customs of this dynasty, the remarriage of women was not strict, and divorce and remarriage were common in ordinary families. However, the aristocratic families and wealthy families cared about face and reputation, so they were more strict about marriage, and divorce and remarriage were not common.

Not to mention that the wife of Marquis Suining was a very strict person and was so harsh towards her own daughter-in-law, let alone Aunt Lian, a concubine?

Therefore, it is almost impossible for Aunt Lian to leave the Earl's Mansion and remarry.

Aunt Lian was pregnant before Lu Yuxuan was born. Even if she was allowed to leave and remarry, wouldn't the truth be revealed after she gave birth to the child?

No matter what, Aunt Lian could not leave the Bo Mansion after all.

"Aunt, don't panic. Since I have chosen to stand by your side, I will definitely stand by you. This child can only be the posthumous child of the Earl and the heir to the title. You must clear all obstacles for this child. If someone comes out in the future to talk about the origin of this child... then, you should panic. We, the eldest house, are of the same mind as you, but I don't know about others..."

Aunt Lian lowered her head and thought for a long time. It was unknown what she was thinking about. After a long while, she said in a low voice: "Except for the people in the mansion, no one else knows. I haven't even had time to inform my mother and the others."

Lin Weiqiao squatted in front of Aunt Lian, put her hands on Aunt Lian's knees, and said seriously: "Aunt Lian, you have to make a choice now. To keep the baby in your belly safe, that person cannot stay in the capital."

When we came out of the Fish Viewing Pavilion, it was almost evening. The sunset glow shone gently into the pond, and several fat red carps swam in the water.

Wan Jieer led her two younger sisters to feed the fish by the fence. When Wan Jieer saw her come out, she called out, "Mom, Mom."

She walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Jiaer said Aunt Lian is pregnant. Does that mean we are going to have another brother or sister?"

"Yes, girl, do you want a brother or a sister?"

Sister Fan said while eating snacks, "I hope it's my brother."

Sister Yue clapped her hands and said, "Brother, brother..."

She didn't say anything, but looked at Aunt Lian who was leaning on the railing upstairs. Aunt Lian was looking at her sisters and gently stroking her belly, with a look of motherly love on her face.

It is indeed too cruel to ask a woman to choose between a lover and a child.

But there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds.

Compared to a so-called love that has no name, no place, and no result, the real child in the belly is more difficult to let go. Nothing is more innocent than the child in the belly.

This child should not have to bear the consequences for a ridiculous one-night stand.

On this point, Aunt Lian is still very clear-headed.

Moreover, "that person has a family."

When Lin Weiqiao got to this point in her eating, her jaw dropped in shock.

After being busy all day, she was afraid that Yu Muyan would be suspicious, so she had to go to Shuangxiyuan again.

I have to admit that Yu Muyan is sometimes still childish. She gets jealous when she sees how nice Yu Muyan is to Aunt Lian.

After serving Yu Muyan her meal, she asked, "Madam, Master Motai has played an indispensable role in bringing the fourth young lady back safely. I wonder how you are going to thank him."

Yu Muyan paused while combing her hair, stunned, and asked, "How did he know?"

"Didn't I tell you that it was Nanny Guo and her husband who encountered it by chance?"

"Just a coincidence?"

Lin Weiqiao didn't dare to say that she had secretly asked Qi Motai for help. Fortunately, she asked Qi Motai to keep the matter secret, otherwise, if Yu Muyan and Huiyang County Lord knew about it, she would be in trouble.
