Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao didn't know what the Sixth Prince wanted to do, but she didn't want to cause any trouble and just wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Mother Han, I was just a child who grew up among the servants in the backyard of the Xu Mansion. How could I have the chance to know these things?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it to me, Mother Han, I wouldn't have known that the Sixth Prince was so powerful and could lead troops in battle. He's a great general."

"The highest-ranking official I've ever met since I was a child was my father, Lord Xu. It was only after I left the palace that I met General Zhang and the Duke."

Xu Miao said as he looked at Mrs. Han with a smile.

Mrs. Han smacked her lips, thinking about it. If she hadn't worked in the Duke's Mansion, she wouldn't have known about these royal affairs.

"Well, I'm just curious and think you've caught the Sixth Prince's eye. Forget it, let's not talk about him. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Xu Miao nodded quickly: "That's right."

After saying that, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

After Xu Miao was busy in the small kitchen for a while, she was called to Zhou Jiyuan's room by the maid.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhou Jiyuan looking at three large boxes on the ground with shining eyes. His wife was sitting at the table with a sad face, watching Zhou Jiyuan walking around on the ground.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Xu Miao asked.

"Well, what else? My eldest and second sisters-in-law ran away again. My mother is angry."

Zhou Jiyuan said without even raising his head.

His eldest and second sisters-in-law ran very fast. They stayed in his room for a short while. Before his mother could say a few words, they found an excuse to escape.

Hehe, it’s quite fun to see his mother get humiliated.

If the lady knew that this naughty boy Zhou Jiyuan thought this way, she would probably cry again.

The Duke's wife said, "I just wanted to ask them when they were going to have the baby, but before I could even say a few words, they all ran away. I'm so angry."

Xu Miao...No one likes to hear about inducing labor.

Xu Miao quickly advised the Duke's wife: "Madam, please don't be angry. Having a child depends on fate. When fate arrives, it will come naturally."

"I heard from the mothers in the backyard that you also had a little prince after a long time. I think the two ladies are also worried."

Lady Dingguo thought about it and realized that this was the case. She was just a little depressed at the time.

She doesn't care whether her sons want children or not. As Zhou Chenli said, if she can't even have a son, she can still count on a grandson.

She just asked a few questions casually and drove everyone away.

Xu Miao didn't know why the eldest and second sons of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion didn't have children. These were not things she could worry about.

Seeing Zhou Jiyuan looking around the box, Xu Miao also walked over curiously.

"What is Yuan looking at?"

"Look, sister, these are the gifts my elder and second brothers gave me. Look, there are so many." Zhou Jiyuan pointed to the box in front of him and said to Xu Miao.

Zhou Jiyuan called her sister for several days and he was quite fluent in calling her that. He had no sisters, only two brothers.

Xu Miao saw three large boxes lying on the ground, their lids already opened. One was filled with toys, another with various valuable medicinal herbs, and the third was filled with books.

Zhou Jiyuan took out a wooden sword from the box of toys, and while gesturing with a laugh, he said to Xu Miao, "It would be great if you could give me a box of delicious food. Why give me so many books? I don't like reading."

He hated studying the most, and before he fell ill, his father hired a teacher for him.

The teacher is always good at complaining. He would go to his father and tell him about his bad deeds. Then his father would say he would beat him to death. Then his mother would cry and everything would be fine.

Hehe, his mother understands his heart best.

Xu Miao stretched her head and took a look at the box of books: This is a great gift, exactly what she wanted.

When Xu Miao was at the Xu Mansion, it was a huge surprise for him to get a book.

In that era, most people were illiterate. Few of the servants in the backyard of the Xu Mansion could read, but fortunately, the young woman could read and taught Xu Miao since he was a child.

At that time, Xu Miao and his mother had no spare money to buy books. Sometimes they would pick up a few books from the servants that Xu Mingzhu and Mr. Xu didn't want.

Every time Xu Miao got it, he felt like he had found a treasure and was as happy as if he had won the lottery.

At that time, Xu Miao's biggest wish was to buy as many books as she wanted when she had money.

Xu Miao looked at the box of books happily, and did not forget to turn around and talk to Zhou Jiyuan.

"A Yuan, books are the golden house. You should read more."

"Humph, you're lying. There's no such thing as a golden house in the book. Sister, if you want to see a golden house, there's one in the emperor's palace. Wait for me to take you to see it. I've seen that house before. It's so golden and impressive."

After saying that, Zhou Jiyuan gestured with his hands to show Xu Miao: "It's this big."

The Duke's wife was so angry that she slammed the table and cursed: "Rebellious son, you have read so much that it has become a dog's stomach. If anyone wants to see the real golden house, I think you are a fool."

Zhou Jiyuan...cough cough cough

The Duke's wife and Xu Miao were so frightened that they quickly shut up.

The Duke's wife was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Jiyuan and waved at Xu Miao.

"Here, let me show you. These are the goodies my two daughters-in-law gave me."

After saying that, he pushed a jewelry box on the table in front of Xu Miao.

The lid of the black jewelry box with gold decoration was opened, and it was filled with various kinds of gems, red, yellow, blue, green, purple and all other colors.

Xu Miao opened his eyes wide... How generous! They collected all the colors and sent them here.

The Duke's wife took these things lightly and pointed at the gems inside and said to Xu Miao, "See which one you like. I'll give you a few to play with."

Xu Miao waved her hands hurriedly: "Madam, I dare not take these treasures. These are given to you by the two young masters' wives. Please keep them well. Ah Miao just needs to look at them and enjoy the view."

"Well, go ahead and pick a few I'm told to. I don't need these stones. The Duke gave me a lot of them, but they're all gathering dust in the jewelry box."

The Duke's wife looked nonchalant; she really didn't need these things. The Duke was also well-off and had plenty of good things.

Seeing that the lady really wanted to give it to her, Xu Miao smiled and said to the Duke's wife.

"Madam, I don't need these things in the mansion. Even if I wear them, I still have to worry about them. Xu Miao thinks it's too troublesome."

"Madam, please ask your maid to bring me some old jewelry that you don't wear. I will alter these old jewelry for you and inlay them with these gems. After they are repaired, I will show them to you to see if they will please you."

In his previous life, Xu Miao had nothing to do, so he liked to tinker with these things, and he was quite skilled at it.

I was thinking about how to please the Duke's wife before, and now the opportunity has come.

Xu Miao defines himself as clinging to the Duke's thigh, serving the lady well, and serving Zhou Jiyuan well.

Only in this way can she ensure her survival in the Duke's Mansion, and as long as she is alive there is hope.

After hearing this, the Duke's wife ordered her maid to go back and get some old jewelry that she didn't wear and send them to Xu Miao for repair.

Xu Miao picked out ten gems of different colors and sizes from the jewelry box on the table.

"Madam, these altered jewellery pieces are enough for you. You can take the rest back and keep them."

The Duke's wife snorted after seeing this: "I just like vulgar people who like gold ingots."

The last time I rewarded Xu Miao with gold, I laughed so hard that I almost couldn't see my eyes.
