Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 161 Cannon Fodder Substitute 10

Chu Wanyi clenched her handkerchief tightly, her fingers almost embedding into the fabric. She tried her best to suppress her inner anger and dissatisfaction, but still could not completely conceal her emotional fluctuations.

"I understand what the Marquis meant. I was not considerate enough. Please excuse me, Madam."

Chu Wanyi tried her best to remain calm, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and then slowly put down the cup.

Her tone seemed very calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

This Madam Ke is the Marquis's wet nurse. She has always been highly respected in the mansion and has a high status.

At this moment, she came as the representative of the Marquis to warn Chu Wanyi. Even if Chu Wanyi was dissatisfied with her, she did not dare to express it easily.

After Nanny Ke left, Chu Wanyi finally couldn't hold back her anger and threw the teacup in her hand to the ground.

The teacup instantly shattered into pieces, and tea splashed everywhere, as if Chu Wanyi's inner anger also burst out.

"What a bastard! If she only likes to wear red clothes and refuses to wear clothes of other colors, why would I only give her red fabric?"

Chu Wanyi cursed with gritted teeth.

In her eyes, Yuan Wei was just a humble concubine's daughter. Even though she was her sister's daughter, she could not change her low status.

In Chu Wanyi's heart, Yuan Wei was not worthy of the treatment that the heir to the Marquis' Mansion should have.

If I had known the situation would be like this today, I should not have let her return to the Marquis' Mansion.

She should have died outside like Yuan Wei.

Thinking of this, Chu Wanyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought and regret.

"Mom, mom." Yuan Lan rushed in at this moment, "Mom, I want to wear red clothes too. My eldest brother has them all, so I want them too."

Chu Wanyi was shaken by the impact of Yuan Lan's pounce and almost sprained her waist.

She quickly held onto the table to steady herself, frowned unhappily and scolded, "What a shame!"

Yuan Lan was startled by Chu Wanyi's scolding. Tears welled up in her eyes and she choked and cried, "Mom, do you really not like me anymore now that you have a younger sister?"

Chu Wanyi looked at Yuan Lan's aggrieved expression, feeling helpless. She slowed down her tone and said, "Lan'er, how could you think like that? Mother has always loved you the most."

Yuan Lan didn't listen to her explanation and continued crying, "I know it. You say you love me the most, but how long has it been since my sisters were born that you made new clothes for me?"

Chu Wanyi was annoyed by the noise, but she still patiently explained, "Lan'er, it's not that mother doesn't want to make you new clothes, but it's not suitable now. You still have to observe mourning for your grandfather, so why would I make new clothes? You can't wear them even if I make them."

Yuan Lan didn't believe her and complained angrily, "Then Big Brother can wear it? Big Brother only needs to observe mourning for one year, but I have to observe mourning for three. You only do it for Big Brother, you are biased."

Chu Wanyi was so angry that her face turned pale, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "So your eldest brother was scolded by your father, and you want to scold your father too?"

Chu Wanyi didn't know now that Yuan Guangheng didn't blame Yuan Wei at all, but instead put all the blame on her.

"This……"

Yuan Lan bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Plain clothes will also do. I want to make new clothes."

Chu Wanyi smiled helplessly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, I'll do it for you."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but frown, rubbed her temples with her hands, and sighed in her heart.

Ever since she gave birth to twins, her body has not been adequately cared for and she suffers from headaches from time to time.

At this time, Nanny Shi came forward, gently massaged Chu Wanyi's head, and whispered comfortingly:

"Second Miss, Madam has already prepared the material for your new dress, but there have been so many things going on at home lately that she hasn't had time to tell you."

Chu Wanyi nodded slightly to show her affirmation.

Nanny Shi continued, "Madam has been very busy since the old marquis passed away. Even though her health hasn't fully recovered yet, she still has to manage the entire household. The entire large mansion depends entirely on Madam to run the household. The girl is grown up now and can try to learn some housekeeping skills and help Madam share some of the chores."

After hearing these words, Chu Wanyi couldn't help but feel moved.

In fact, she has been feeling a little overwhelmed recently, and if someone could help share some of the burden, she would feel more relaxed.

I used to be worried about the old lady, but my daughter is different, so it is certainly okay to let Yuan Lan share some of the responsibilities.

Moreover, she hopes to have another son.

Although the doctor asserted that she could no longer have children, she did not believe it.

When she gave birth to Yuan Lan, the doctor said that she would never be able to get pregnant again, but she ended up giving birth to twins successfully.

Just listen to half of what the doctor says.

She firmly believed that she would be able to get pregnant and have a child again.

During this period, she became estranged from the Marquis because she was busy with housekeeping. She clearly felt that the Marquis came to her yard less frequently.

This is not possible!

Although she was still in mourning and could not have sex, she knew that men's sense of novelty was limited, and she still had to be on guard against the women in the backyard until she gave birth to a boy.

She needs time.

"You're grown up now. As a girl, don't be so lively all the time. No one will want you in the future." Chu Wanyi said as she tapped Yuan Lan's forehead.

Yuan Lan looked at Chu Wanyi reluctantly and said coquettishly, "I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my mother and father forever."

Chu Wanyi looked at Yuan Lan, smiled and shook her head.

"Silly girl, what girl doesn't get married? Besides, it's time for you to learn how to manage the household. Tomorrow morning, come to the main courtyard and learn from me how to manage the household, and then go to class in the afternoon."

Yuan Lan's eyes widened when he heard this. "Ah? I have to learn to be a housekeeper? I don't want to learn~"

She felt that learning to be a housekeeper was too troublesome and it would be better to play freely.

"No." Chu Wanyi said in a low voice.

Looking at Chu Wanyi's unquestionable eyes, Yuan Lan could only agree reluctantly.

She knew that once her mother made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

She didn't really want to resist, she just wanted to get her mother's attention.

Since her younger sister was born, her mother's attention and care for her has decreased a lot.

Before I had a younger sister, my mother gave all her love to her; even my older brother couldn't compare to her.

She is the most favored child in the Marquis's Mansion.

But now, everything has changed.

She was no longer the only focus, and her mother's attention was more focused on her newborn sister.

This made her feel uneasy and frightened. She was afraid of losing her mother's favor, and even more afraid of losing her status in the Marquis's Mansion.

Whether she is a housekeeper or not, with power in her hands, she will have more say.

Unconsciously, Yuan Lan began to care about power, which was completely different from the bright and cheerful appearance she showed in her previous life.

I don’t know if Yuan Lan can still attract the third prince.
