The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Mother, what is the Imperial Concubine's intention? Is she intending to let Kangge'er be the Sixth Prince's study companion? But the Sixth Prince's body..."

Duan Jingzong frowned, looking anxious and worried as he asked. Duan Jingyi also looked at her mother worriedly. Song Shengfu seemed to be the mainstay of the family now.

"The matter of a study companion hasn't been settled yet. Right now, we're just letting Kangge'er into the palace to teach the Sixth Prince Tai Chi and to find him a playmate."

Although Duan Chengkang is a little lazy, he is very good at coaxing people with his mouth, which is also one of his great advantages. As long as he doesn't annoy the Sixth Prince, there will be no problem.

By the way, Song Shengfu remembered that someone seemed to have come to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion today, but she didn’t see them after returning home. She thought they must have gone back to inform the palace, after all, they were there when someone came.

After sending Duan Jingzong and the Lu couple away, Song Shengfu kept Duan Jingyi.

"Today, people from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion came, and I sent them away. However, you can't stay at your parents' home for long, especially Jingtong. If you stay at home for too long, he will inevitably have some objections, and this will inevitably lead to separation between you and your wife. I went to the palace today to send them a signal. Our Earl's Mansion has also been put on the list, and they will not dare to embarrass you again in the short term."

"Mother, I can't bear to leave you." Duan Jingyi was about to cry, her heart filled with reluctance.

"Silly child, how can you stay with your mother forever? You still have a husband and children. You saw today that this family is slowly getting better. From now on, this will be your strongest backing. The Left Prime Minister's Mansion will never dare to bully you like this again. If you feel uncomfortable living here, just bring your children back."

Song Shengfu warned them earnestly that her words in the morning were just to show the attitude of their Earl's Mansion, telling them that the daughter of our Earl's Mansion is not easy to bully.

But from a rational point of view, Duan Jingyi certainly cannot stay at home. Now the second son-in-law still has sympathy for Jingyi, but he will definitely feel resentment over time.

"And this." Song Shengfu handed Duan Jingyi some recipes and dietary recipes that she had taken the time to compile a few days ago.

Duan Jingyi was a little confused about what this was. She took it and found that it was some food for men and women. She looked at her mother in confusion.

"Conceiving children depends on the harmony of yin and yang, which means both men and women are responsible. In the past, we only focused on the care of women and ignored men, especially since the decision of whether to have a boy or a girl rested entirely on men."

"What?!" Duan Jingyi exclaimed, then quickly lowered her voice. A huge wave of emotion surged in her heart. This was simply unheard of. People believed that having children depended on women, but today her mother said that men were the key to deciding the gender of a child.

"Mother, this...this...could it be..." Duan Jingyi didn't dare to speak, but just raised her hand quietly and pointed upwards. This house was not clean. Although it was cleaned last time, there were bound to be some fish that slipped through the net.

Seeing that her second daughter understood what she meant, Song Shengfu nodded mysteriously, and then told her that if she was planning to have a baby, she must go back and start eating according to what was written, especially for her son-in-law.

How could Duan Jingyi not believe it? Since she started practicing Tai Chi, she had already believed it halfway. If it weren't for her youngest sister's dream, how could her mother know such mysterious body movements.

Looking at the silver hair on her mother's ears, Duan Jingyi felt sad. Her mother was old and should be enjoying her retirement, but she still had to worry about these useless children. If it weren't for her mother, this huge Earl's Mansion would have been supported by her alone.

For the first time, Duan Jingyi felt overwhelmed. Her elder brother was weak and incompetent, her half-brother's academic performance was mediocre, and the results of next year's college entrance examination were still unknown. It was heard that Kang Ge'er had not yet received any education. The whole family depended on their mother alone to support it.

Duan Jingyi's eyes were red. Now she couldn't speak at home and couldn't help her parents. Duan Jingyi knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to cheer up so that she could help her parents in the future.

Thinking of this, she stood up and knelt down. Song Shengfu was startled and hurried to help her, scolding her for such a great gift. Duan Jingyi's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, describing her mother's difficulties and how difficult it was for her daughter to repay her mother's kindness. Song Shengfu was relieved. Although this family was not very good, fortunately, her children were filial.

After comforting Duan Jingyi, Song Shengfu explained some positions and postures that are easy to conceive. Although Duan Jingyi was already a virgin, she was still shy and muttered to herself: Aren't gods said to be abstinent and practice Taoism? This god is not serious either, and he plays more extravagantly than us mortals.

If Song Shengfu knew that her daughter was thinking this way, she would have to apologize to the gods and Buddhas for tarnishing their reputation and would have to use their names next time.

On the second day, not only did someone come from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, but Huang Jingtong also came to the Earl's Mansion to pick someone up after the court meeting.

Duan Jingyi knew that she could no longer argue with Qiao, so she packed up her things and went back with her child.

Keeping her mother's teachings in mind, she talked to her husband about physical care and diet on the way back in the carriage. However, she certainly did not say that the gender of the baby depends on the man. She only said that there was a secret recipe for care, but he needed his cooperation.

Huang Jingtong heard his mother complain yesterday that the Earl's Mansion was about to become prosperous and drove out the person sent by the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up his wife.

Although he knew that his mother's words were an exaggeration, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that his wife was a little inconsiderate.

When he heard his wife say this today, he realized that he had really misunderstood her. His wife was recuperating at her parents' home, but he suspected that she was resentful of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. He really shouldn't have done that. His guilt towards his wife became even stronger. Later, he always protected her at home, which made Old Lady Huang and his two half-brothers and half-sisters-in-law suspect that he had been put under a spell.

Duan Jingyi also found a trick from it, constantly hanging around in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, and gradually won over her husband's heart.

As the Sixth Prince was in poor health, Kangger was required to enter the palace at 9:00 PM to accompany him.

Therefore, Kang Ge'er is still in the mansion and has not left. After yesterday's excitement, Mrs. Lu is now worried again. She has been urging Kang Ge'er since morning to pay attention to etiquette in the palace and not to offend the nobles.

Song Shengfu also changed into the official uniform. Today was the first day and she was worried about the little fat boy, so she naturally accompanied him into the palace. Although Lu was a countess, she had not been given a higher rank. Without a summons, she was not qualified to enter the palace, so only she, an old woman, had to move.

Seeing Lu chattering non-stop, Kang Ge'er, who was initially nervous, gradually grew impatient. Having been spoiled since childhood, Kang Ge'er had never heard of such things before. He sat there, ostensibly listening, but in reality, the words went in one ear and out the other, his mind wandering.

Song Shengfu had been listening to the same two sentences over and over all morning, and her ears were almost callused. She said she was leaving, so she sent Lu away and took Kang Ge'er with her.

Duan Chengkang finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled his grandmother outside. When they got on the carriage, Kang Ge'er lifted the curtain and kept looking outside. He seldom went out. He only asked his mother to go out to Taoli Study to listen to books every two weeks, but he had never stayed outside, so it was very novel.

Song Shengfu saw this and started asking, "Brother Kang, do you want to go out and play?"

Duan Chengkang was very surprised, but then he felt a little lonely and said in a gloomy tone: "Forget it, I still have to enter the palace."

"Well, I know the importance of this," Song Shengfu's eyes flashed. "If you behave well today, when you come back in the afternoon, grandma will take you out to play."

That’s right, Song Shengfu was also very curious about what the ancient cities were like, but she would definitely not show it, so she could only seduce the brat in front of her.

Duan Chengkang was ecstatic and kept saying that he would perform well.
