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

Qiu Yao had mentioned this matter when Prime Minister Qiu had just returned home. At that time, considering that he had just returned to Beijing and his foundation was not yet stable, he did not explicitly refuse.

However, in recent days, he had also witnessed the ambition of Prince Yong in the court, and heard about the incidents of innocent merchants being occupied. He was already dissatisfied with Prince Yong's character. After hearing Qiu Yao's words, he could not help but reject it bluntly:

"Yao'er, your father has told you before that Prince Yong is not as simple as he appears on the surface. Do you know what kind of road this is?

As a concubine, it would be fine if you didn't try to persuade him, but how could you let him do what he wanted? You are so foolish! "

However, Qiu Yao has been immersed in the big pie drawn by King Yong and is quite confident about it.

"Father, I'm sure you've heard the recent rumors in the court. The late emperor originally wanted to pass the throne to the prince. The current emperor is nothing but a traitor and a hypocrite. He got his current position through calculation. His name is not right, and his words are not reasonable..."

"Shut up!" Qiu Yao was ruthlessly interrupted by Qiu Xiang before she could finish her words.

"Are you crazy? How can a mere woman from the harem say such words? Do you want to implicate the entire prime minister's residence and lead him to the guillotine with you?"

Facing Qiu Xiang's harsh words, Qiu Yao did not think that there was anything wrong with what she said.

"Am I wrong? Father, don't you know that many people have been saying recently that even the Queen Mother has returned from the Buddhist temple. The Queen Mother has always been very fond of Prince Yong. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. This time, I will definitely help the prince ascend to that position.

If father insists on not helping, that's fine. I will use my own methods to help the prince obtain that position."

After saying this, Qiu Yao left the study without looking back. She turned around and went to Qiu Shaoheng's yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they learned that Ji Ruyun suddenly had a stomachache, nausea and vomiting. The maids in the yard were very anxious and hurriedly asked someone to call Zhang over.

Zhang immediately ordered the servant to call a doctor from outside. After taking Ji Ruyun's pulse, she found out that she was already two months pregnant. The loss of appetite was a reaction to pregnancy.

When the news came out, the person who was happiest was Ji Ruyun herself, and the other happiest was Zhang.

Although she had some complaints about Ji Ruyun's background, ever since the incident with the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, Ji Ruyun had been reflecting in the yard. Apart from the daily morning and evening visits, she had basically never left the yard.

In Zhang's opinion, Ji Ruyun has decided to reflect on her past mistakes and mend her ways, which is a good thing.

Now I am pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is a great joy.

Immediately, Zhang announced the good news to the entire mansion and rewarded all the servants serving in the yard.

Xianghe was the maidservant beside Ji Ruyun. When Ji Ruyun became pregnant, she also received the reward.

After everyone was done with their work, Qiuyao slowly walked into the house, waved away the servants, and left Xianghe alone to serve.

She first congratulated Ji Ruyun, then said:

"It seems that the feng shui of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed very nourishing. It's only been a few months, and you've already received good news. Congratulations! You'll soon have something to rely on and get what you wish for."

Ji Ruyun could not help but hear the sarcasm in Qiuyao's words. She just put her hands in front of her stomach and said stiffly:

"Thank you for your care, Miss. All of this is your gift. Ruyun will never forget it."

Everyone can say polite words, but Qiuyao's purpose of this trip was not to chat about family matters.

After learning that Ji Ruyun was pregnant, his previous plan to use her to control the Prime Minister's Mansion became active again.

"It's just perfect. Now that you're pregnant, you can ask mother to take over part of the housekeeping power first. When my eldest brother's eldest son is left, you can take over completely. Isn't that perfect?"

Seeing that she was still thinking about this matter, Ji Ruyun couldn't help but frown.

In fact, she thought it was good this way, without having to worry about these mundane affairs. Firstly, she didn't want to fall out with Qiu Ning. Secondly, she was pregnant and just wanted to close the door and live a quiet life with Qiu Shaoheng.

But things don't always go as planned. She had relied on Qiuyao's relationship to get in touch with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she has to pay back what she owes.

Qiuyao wanted her to take control of the housekeeping power in the mansion and transfer money to the palace. She could not refuse this. Otherwise, according to Qiuyao's temperament, she might do something else.

She bit her lip and asked, "I wonder what the young lady wants me to do?"

Qiu Yao casually scraped the lid of the teacup in her hand and said, "After I get the housekeeper's power, I want all the profit accounts of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will copy a copy every month and send it to the Prince's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun suddenly looked up and looked at Qiu Yao in disbelief.

What does she want the account book of the prime minister's residence for?

Qiuyao glanced at her, her eyes full of warning: "Don't try to fool me by falsifying the accounts. If I find out, I promise that your child will not be born safely."

When she mentioned the child, Ji Ruyun's face changed drastically and she pleaded:

"No, don't hurt my child. I'm willing to agree to anything you ask."

Qiuyao sneered: "Isn't this the end?"

What a jerk. He has to be forced to give in.

……

It was already evening when Qiu Ning got the news.

During the day, she went to the Ge family, intending to take advantage of the fact that the turmoil had not yet passed and make Prince Yong return the silver as soon as possible.

However, before he could come up with a solution, he heard that Ji Ruyun had brought good news from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Qiu Ning returned home, he saw Ji Ruyun in Zhang's yard. The two seemed to be talking and laughing, and they were very happy.

As soon as Qiu Ning entered the yard, the two of them immediately stopped talking. Ji Ruyun tactfully stepped down from the chair next to Zhang and sat aside obediently.

When Zhang saw Qiu Ning, an unnatural look seemed to flash across her eyes.

Qiu Ning took everything in calmly, pretending not to see anything, and continued to salute Zhang.

"Meet mother. Meet sister-in-law."

"Aning, you came at the right time. I was just talking about you with Ruyun."

After only one day of not seeing each other, he learned that Ji Ruyun was pregnant, and immediately changed her name from Ji to Ruyun. If you didn't know, you would think she was his biological daughter.

For a moment, many speculations flashed through Qiu Ning's mind.

"I heard that my eldest sister-in-law is pregnant. I just happened to bring back some bird's nests from Baiweifang. I can ask the servants in the courtyard to stew it later. This is the eldest grandson of the prime minister's mansion. We can't be careless. I have already ordered that from today on, Lingfengyuan will allocate an extra 100 taels of silver every month to help my eldest sister-in-law with her pregnancy."

Logically speaking, Ji Ruyun should have expressed her gratitude immediately after hearing this.

But she was suddenly stunned and turned to look at Zhang as if asking for help.

The next second, Zhang suddenly said an unexpected piece of news.
