My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

With the treatment of a noble concubine, and the fact that Guo Yian did not have a wife yet, although the household expenses of the mansion were controlled by Liu, in order to encourage Lin Qinnan, Liu took the initiative to hand over a small part of the power of managing the household to Lin Qinnan.

In fact, it was just to make it easier for Lin Qinnan to place her own people and make some extra money.

In Liu's opinion, although Lin Qinniang came from a brothel, she had no family members who were burdening her, and she spent all the money she earned on herself, so she was relatively safe. At least she didn't have to worry about the "brother-supporting demon" (a term for a brother-supporting demon).

Therefore, Liu was very generous and willing to let Lin Qinnan have some of her own money so that she could take good care of the baby in her belly in the future.

When she received the keys and account books, Lin Qinnan naturally expressed her gratitude first, which moved her deeply and made Liu very happy.

However, as soon as Liu left, he put away the smile on his face, put his hand on his lower abdomen, and said to himself:

What a joke! The hatred for killing her brother is irreconcilable. Moreover, the Guo family has been targeting the Ge family in the business world recently. How could she be willing to give birth to a child for her enemies?

If she really gave birth to her enemy's child, how would Lin Qinnan (Ge Linlang) face the Ge family?

Therefore, this time the pulse condition was just the result of Qiu Ning's medicine taking effect.

What she had to do now was to take advantage of the period while the drug was still effective, seize the opportunity, and obtain evidence of the Guo family's illegal mining of iron ore and selling of official positions and titles.

On the second day, Lin Qinniang bought back her trusted maid from the Ge family on the pretext of buying a few servants to serve her.

For a period of time afterwards, while Lin Qinniang was taking care of her pregnancy, she also managed the several shops that Liu had given her. In a short period of time, the income of the shops increased by more than two times.

She had previously followed her father in business at the Ge family, and the profits from just a few shops were nothing but a piece of cake for her.

However, after hearing this, Liu was very surprised and surprised.

She had never expected that Lin Qinniang, who came from a brothel, was actually quite talented in business. This was a pleasant surprise for Liu.

Immediately, Liu gave some power to Lin Qinniang. Not only the land and farm, but also several important jewelry shops of the Guo family were handed over to Lin Qinniang to manage.

However, what Liu hadn't expected was that Lin Qinniang not only had all the account books from those years in perfect order, but she had also developed a whole new plan. After implementing it, within less than two weeks, all the shops' profits had increased. Furthermore, the managers and shopkeepers were all impressed by Lin Qinniang's skills and praised Liu for her discerning eye for talent, which had been a great help.

Liu was in a good mood and she cared more and more about Lin Qinniang. If it weren't for her low status, Liu would have wanted Lin Qinniang to be her daughter-in-law.

Speaking of her daughter-in-law, Liu suddenly thought that Lin Qinnan was pregnant and might not be able to serve Guo Yian, so she thought of getting two more maids.

When she told Lin Qinniang the news, she thought that she would be upset, but Lin Qinniang didn't mind at all. Instead, she personally bought two maids with clean backgrounds and pretty looks from outside, and arranged them to live in Guo Yian's yard that night.

Liu was also very impressed by his magnanimity.

At this time, Madam He, a trusted confidant, suggested to Madam Liu, "Madam, I've noticed these days that the eldest son is quite attentive to Madam Lin. I heard that every time he comes back from duty, he goes to Suzaku Street to bring Madam Lin's favorite roast duck."

A smile flashed across Liu's eyes. That's right. The fact that her son valued Lin more and more meant that he had completely forgotten that bitch Liu Qingqing and had changed his mind.

"Now that Lin is pregnant, it's natural that we should take better care of her. That's nothing. But the baby in Lin's belly will be born soon, and it's time to find An'er a general's wife."

After all, in this dynasty, if a man took a concubine before getting married and gave birth to a concubine's eldest son, his reputation would not be very good if it were spread out.

That's why Liu wanted to quickly arrange Guo Yian's marriage before Lin Qinnan gave birth to the child.

"But I'm worried that the eldest master might not agree!"

Liu was also worried about this. She had suggested several times before that Guo Yian get married, but at this time his mind was completely on Liu Qingqing, and he didn't even look at this girl from aristocratic family in the capital.

Now that he values ​​Lin so much, how could he agree to get married?

"No matter what, we have to give it a try, hey."

In this way, Liu found Guo Yian with a tentative attitude and expressed his thoughts.

"Before, I asked you to get married, but you always refused. Now you are going to be a father. If there is not even a mistress in the backyard, we can't let Lin take care of it all the time. She is pregnant now. If you don't feel sorry for her, I do."

This child is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's family. There can be no mistakes.

Unexpectedly, this time, Guo Yian did not resist or refuse as he had done in the past. Instead, he nodded and agreed:

"I'll leave it to you, mother. I only have one request, and that is that the future general's wife must be tolerant."

Upon hearing this, Liu was overjoyed and quickly responded, "Don't worry about that. Mother will personally help you choose the right one and will definitely help you marry a gentle general's wife."

Liu's plan was simple. She valued Lin Qinniang's business acumen and skills, and intended to gradually release the power in her hands and let Lin Qinniang manage it.

But after all, she was just a concubine and was not worthy of being seen in public.

Therefore, the woman that Guo Yian wanted to marry could not be of too high status, because the Guo family already had a very high status. If he married another noble lady, it would easily arouse the emperor's jealousy.

Secondly, the daughter-in-law's temperament must be easy to control. It is equivalent to entering the prime minister's residence. She only needs to bear the title of general's wife and act as a mascot.

The news quickly reached Lin Qinniang's ears. Her trusted maid, Dongmei, looked worried and said to Lin Qinniang:

"Miss, once Guo Yian gets married, he'll definitely take back the reins of the household from you. If that happens, all your hard work over the past few days will be wasted. What should we do?"

Lin Qinnan was fiddling with some of the head ornaments that Liu had just sent over as a reward. Each one was dazzling and gorgeous, and was a pleasure to look at.

She didn't directly answer Dongmei's question, but instead asked, "Why do you think Liu is arranging a marriage for Guo Yian at this time?"

Dongmei tilted her head and thought carefully. "My guess is that he definitely doesn't want Guo Yian's reputation to be damaged, so he wants to arrange the marriage before your child is born. That way, there won't be rumors that he's taking a concubine before he's even married."

"Your analysis is correct, but do you know why I, your young lady, have been trying so hard to please Liu?"
