I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Now that Concubine Lian is pregnant with a posthumous child, the wife of the Marquis of Suning feels more and more that it was a wise move to force Lu Yuxuan to take a concubine. She said proudly: "At that time, you all persuaded him that if Brother Xuan didn't want to, then don't force him. Look, if it weren't for Concubine Lian, there wouldn't be today. I'm talking about Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law."

Yu Muyan immediately sat up straight and said respectfully, "Aunt, you say."

"You are not a generous person, but you are not a stingy person either. Madam Lian is carrying Xuan'er's flesh and blood, and also the hope of your first wife. Since you yourself failed to give birth to a son, you should take good care of Madam Lian. If Madam Lian has any problem, it will be the fault of you, the mistress. You are not stupid, and I will not say much about other things. Whether you are happy or not, you should value this baby more than your own life."

Lin Weiqiao rolled her eyes silently. If someone didn’t know, they would think that it was Yu Muyan who was pregnant.

The wife of the Marquis of Suning took a sip of tea, glanced at Madam Lu, and said meaningfully: "Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law, you are not good in other aspects, but you have a kind heart, clean hands, and do not commit sins."

These words were clearly a mockery of Madam Lu.

It was rare for Old Madam Lu not to refute and she remained silent.

The wife of the Marquis of Suning also disdained to talk to Madam Lu, and slowly turned her eyes to Lu Yuheng, "Brother Heng, your eldest brother is gone, and you are the eldest. In the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of the first house. We are all flesh and blood, and broken bones are connected by tendons. You also understand this principle. When Aunt Lian gives birth to a son and inherits the title, you, as an uncle, must teach your nephew well."

Lu Yuheng's face twitched, and no matter how reluctant he was, he had to pretend, "Aunt is right, I will definitely treat him as my own son."

Mrs. Ding felt very aggrieved. When the first wife had no children, she wanted to adopt her son to the first wife, but Lu Yuxuan refused and the wife of Marquis Suining also disagreed.

After finally waiting for Lu Yuxuan to pass away, and the first wife having no descendants, I thought that no matter whether it was adoption or inheritance from brother to younger brother, it would be the second wife's turn, right?

The second wife is the legitimate daughter, while the other two wives are illegitimate daughters. It is only natural that the second wife inherits the title.

But the heavens were blind and allowed Aunt Lian to have a posthumous child at this time! Does the Second House have no chance of getting a title in this life? Does the Second House have to depend on the First House forever?

"How does aunt know it's a boy? What if Aunt Lian gives birth to a girl? When my eldest sister-in-law was pregnant with a girl, many people said it was a boy, but it turned out not to be a boy... I don't have any other intentions, I just want to prevent everyone from being happy for nothing."

For the first time, Mrs. Lu felt that her daughter-in-law was stupid, and just the right amount of stupid, and she spoke her mind.

Yes, who can guarantee that Aunt Lian’s baby will be a son?

However, in this matter, the wife of the Marquis of Suning was extremely confident. "Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law took after her mother-in-law and was destined to give birth to daughters. Aunt Lian is different. I remember that Aunt Lian's mother gave birth to a son as her first child. This time, she will most likely give birth to a boy."

What should be said and what should not be said has been said.

In fact, the wife of the Marquis of Suning was worried about Aunt Lian staying in the Earl's Mansion to take care of her pregnancy. Firstly, she felt that Yu Muyan would not pay attention, and secondly, she was worried that Madam Lu would do something.

But she was a person who stuck to the rules, and she believed that Aunt Lian had to stay in the Earl's house all her life and not go anywhere else until she died.

She also threatened, "Madam Lian is young, in good health, and has a lot of people serving her. No matter what, it's hard for her to go wrong. If something happens to the fetus in Madam Lian's belly, it must be because the people around her didn't serve her well enough, or someone had evil intentions. Then I'm not the wife of the Marquis of Suning for nothing. I'm making this clear. Whoever dares to harm Madam Lian and her child is against me!"

She also planned to send her servants to take care of Aunt Lian.

Yu Muyan said hurriedly, "How can I ask for Aunt's people? I have sent a steady and down-to-earth maid to take care of her, and also invited Aunt Lian's family to come. Aunt can rest assured. Aunt Lian is used to a quiet life, and she would not be comfortable with too many people serving her."

After Yu Muyan accompanied the wife of the Marquis of Suining to Guanyu Pavilion, Madam Lu had a gloomy face and sharp eyes, as if she had already cut the wife of the Marquis of Suining into pieces in her heart.

According to the wife of Marquis Suining, whenever anything happened to Concubine Lian, she would immediately suspect that it was the work of the second wife.

This time, it's all the second wife's fault.

It just so happens that the wife of Marquis Suining is a marquise, and her husband, Marquis Suining, is a pillar of the court. Her three sons are all officials in the court, and their status is much higher than that of Madam Lu.

This is also the reason why Old Madam Lu is wary. The wife of Marquis Suining likes to interfere in her natal family affairs, which makes her feel miserable.

On that day, when Yu Muyan first became pregnant, she had thought about taking action, but the wife of the Marquis of Suining was watching her more closely than she was, so it was difficult for her to do so. Fortunately, it was Sister Fan who was born.

Later, when Yu Muyan was pregnant with her second child, she had already made arrangements and bribed the midwife and several other trusted maids to replace the son born to Yu Muyan.

She was also smart and knew that if she said that the child died at birth, the wife of the Marquis of Suining would definitely be suspicious. Only by giving birth to a daughter could she dispel the wife of the Marquis of Suining's suspicion.

Now that Aunt Lian is pregnant, the wife of Marquis Suining will take it more seriously than before and will be even more cautious. She is worried that she won't have the chance to take action when the time comes.

If Aunt Lian really gives birth to a boy, the second wife will never have a chance to make a success in her life.

"Mother, what should we do? Aunt takes it so seriously, we..." Lu Yuheng was extremely anxious. Many unexpected events had happened since Aunt Lian became pregnant. He watched helplessly as the title became more and more distant from him. The duck that was in his mouth flew away. How could he be willing to accept this!

"Yes, mother. Aunt has intervened and is watching us more strictly than we do. What she said was clearly directed at our second house." Mrs. Ding was also anxious.

Madam Lu had no concrete ideas in mind. She just thought about how she had been planning for many years and would never give up even if it was extremely difficult. Although the current situation was indeed not favorable for the second house, she always believed that there was always a way out.

After being busy for most of the day, they finally sent away the big Buddha statue of the wife of Marquis Suining.

When the person left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Weiqiao thought that with the support of the wife of the Marquis of Suning, Madam Lu and the second house would not dare to attack Aunt Lian easily, which saved her a lot of effort.

Having said that, she had never seen Yu Muyan so busy. In front of the wife of the Marquis of Suining, Yu Muyan acted like the mistress of the house. She answered every question and did everything herself, fearing that she would do something wrong and displease the wife of the Marquis of Suining.

As soon as the wife of Marquis Suining left, Yu Muyan rested on the bed and ordered that no one be allowed to disturb her.

She also went back to her room to rest. Perhaps because she was too busy today, she felt dizzy and weak.

"I'm not going back, am I?" she muttered before going to sleep.
