The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Du Mingxian perfectly portrays a person who is not very knowledgeable.

"What do you know? With Madam here and protecting him, what could possibly happen to him? Besides, Madam used to like a young man, but when that young man failed to serve Madam well, she directly gave him to that groom."

"The coachman took the man away, and he died a few days later. A few days later, the lady remembered the young man and wanted him to come back, but by then the man was already dead."

"The lady knew that the coachman had killed someone, and everyone thought that the coachman was finished this time. Some people who didn't get along with the coachman were already bullying him in secret."

"Who would have thought... the lady wasn't angry, and the coachman's position remained secure."

"From then on, everyone knew that the coachman was very popular with the lady and held a high position."

"And there's the groom's son. The groom had a mistress outside who had a son with him, and now he's being raised in the manor. The lady of the house is very fond of the groom's son and has been raising him like her own son since he was little."

Seeing that Granny Wang was talking so enthusiastically, Du Mingxian didn't interrupt her, but her doubts grew stronger.

The coachman sounds like a bad guy, but he has a son. Even if Sun Xiangxiang relies on the Third Prince, managing such a large business still requires a lot of brains.

A smart person shouldn't have someone like a stable boy around, someone who's likely to bring trouble upon himself.

Why is that?

And why does Sun Xiangxiang like the groom's son so much?

"If your wife likes children, why don't you have one yourself? That way, you'll have some security in the future."

Granny Wang waved her hand, "The lady cannot give birth."

"what?"

"Madam was a good woman before, but her previous husband was no good. She miscarried when she got pregnant and could not have children after that. So Madam really likes children."

Du Mingxian didn't understand, but there are many strange things in this world, so it's not that hard to understand.

"Would a woman who bears a child for a stable boy be willing to watch her wife have a constant stream of men around her?"

"What's wrong with that? The groom is considered a respectable figure among the servants. There are many servants in the manor, and some of them even deliberately flirt with the groom in order to make a better living."

This world...

Du Mingxian said she didn't know what to say.

"Once, someone died in the incident, and it even went to the authorities. Everyone thought the stableman was finished, that he had been taken away. But guess what happened in the end?"

Du Mingxian thought for a moment and said, "She was rescued by the madam?"

"Yes, the lady went and rescued him. Everyone was shocked at the time and gained a new understanding of the coachman's position in the lady's heart. From then on, we never dared to underestimate the coachman again."

Du Mingxian's curiosity was piqued as well, "What does this coachman look like?"

"It's alright. You can tell he was really good when he was young. It's just that he's gotten older and that's why he's not all that great anymore."

"Is the groom's wife not at home?"

"He died long ago. The child was born not long ago and his body hadn't recovered. Later, the stable boy couldn't raise the child on his own, so he brought the child to the lady and begged her to find a wet nurse for him."

"When they were looking for a wet nurse, the lady took a liking to a baby and kept her in the mansion ever since." Granny Wang's eyes were full of envy. "You have no idea how good the lady was to that child."

"Did they adopt that child as their godson?"

"No, that's not true. He's just a groom's son. No matter how much he's favored, his bloodline is lowly. How could a lady of such high status recognize such a person as her adopted son?"

Du Mingxian remained silent. It's hard to say; there might be something else going on behind the scenes that no one knows.

"Are you on good terms with this coachman?"

There was a hint of unease in Granny Wang's eyes. She shifted her body slightly by the bedside before saying, "It's alright, not everyone can become my friend." After saying that, she touched her meticulously combed hair.

Du Mingxian could tell that she was flustered; Granny Wang was lying and seemed a little nervous.

Why is that?

Granny Wang seduced the stable boy!

If you think about it this way, everything makes sense.

If you befriend someone who is particularly favored by the master, you can also gain some benefits in the household. The groom is also a lecherous man who can have affairs with all sorts of people.

Even the servants in the manor were tempted to flirt with this woman who was attracted to both men and women.

It's not impossible that Wang Pozi was a woman.

She took a closer look at Granny Wang. Ignoring the scheming look in her eyes, she was quite good-looking, suggesting that she must have been pretty when she was young.

Now she's kept in the mansion, and although she's just a lowly servant, she's better off than many people outside. She's quite pampered, and her skin is very smooth.

"You're very pretty; your skin is just as good as a twenty-year-old woman's."

Granny Wang was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

"Of course, you are really beautiful. Although you are just a maid in the manor, the men do all the heavy work. You are quite pampered and look much younger than the old women in the village."

"She's better taken care of than the average old lady in a family. You know what's good and what's bad. She eats well at home and is in a better mood, so her skin naturally looks good."

Du Mingxian showered him with praise, and after she finished, she added, "Someone like you, if you were willing, could definitely win over that groom who's favored by the madam, just like you say."

"Really...really?" Wang Pozi's eyes lit up with an unusual light.

Du Mingxian was startled, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Of course it's true."

Granny Wang calmed down immediately.

Actually... with such a person in the manor, how could she not have thought about seducing him? But she couldn't get close to him, and the coachman, whether blind or what, just wouldn't look in her direction.

Thinking about this made her angry.

"Never mind, the coachman is blind, he likes ugly people."

"Oh? How so?" Du Mingxian felt that this story was getting more and more interesting.

"Sigh..." Granny Wang sighed and said, "When the manor was buying people before, they bought an old woman who was a bit older than me. I heard she had given birth before, but she died."

"She wasn't anything special when she came in, but somehow she caught the groom's eye. That woman only knows how to seduce men."

Du Mingxian cautiously probed, "Have you been in the manor for a long time?"

"No, they came in last year. Our manor doesn't buy people every year. It's been several years. Last year we bought a batch of people because we didn't have enough manpower."

"Several old women?"

"Yes, of the five old women who came in that batch, only one was a bad one."

"How to say?"

"That woman had a son and a daughter, but both of them died. She sold herself into servitude to get money to bury her dead son. Everyone else had families and had worked as servants in other households, but that woman had no family."

Granny Wang got angry just thinking about Granny Dong's appearance. "She was all alone. Before she came, she worked as a handyman in the yard with me. She was incredibly lazy and didn't work properly. She would only move when the person in charge came over."

“I am an old servant in the manor, and I am hardworking. I did all the work. When the steward came over, she pretended to be a good person.”
