Chapter 950: Overconfidence

oment, she raised her hand and covered the other person's brow, then, according to the method of transforming into a male beastman she had spoken about alone before, mobilized the power within her Bea...Mrs. Hou was truly overwhelmed at the moment, so even when Jade Plum said that her younger daughter wanted to see her, she had no time to deal with it. She just asked Jade Plum to pass on a message.

Tell the young lady that she will receive news in a while and to rest well.

Yu Mei also knew that the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet had a flaw, and now Madam Hou couldn't get away. She could only go back and tell Miss everything her wife had said.

Xue Lianyi was now wearing a veil. Hearing the maidservant's words, she felt a little better, but she kept putting on makeup, trying to restore herself to her appearance before she fell ill. Unfortunately, all of this was in vain.

As time went on, her appearance grew increasingly hideous. Even Jade Plum dared not look closely at her young mistress's face, fearing that if she stared for too long, it would drive the young lady mad.

And Mrs. Hou's visits to her youngest daughter also decreased sharply, and she was no longer as attentive to her as before. After all, she had many things to deal with every day, and a daughter who had lost her use was gradually forgotten by her.

The ripples on the other side didn't take long to return, and soon good news came from the backyard. Gao Yiniang was also pregnant, which made Lin Yaizu very happy.

Mrs. Lin didn't say much, after all, they were all her grandchildren. So, according to the status of a concubine, she also sent appropriate supplements and rewards to Gao.

As the legitimate wife, Lian'er was very generous. She accepted the rewards given by Mama Zhen, but she didn't want to give anyone a chance to frame her, so she directly gave silver and stated that Gao's concubine should buy whatever she liked. She didn't send any food, clothing, or jewelry.

At first, Zhen was a little surprised, but then she understood what the young mistress meant.

As fellow ladies of the manor, although there was a difference between concubines and legitimate wives, this Gao Concubine was resourceful. She managed to become pregnant before the mistress gave birth to her own child. If one were to encounter a jealous mistress, she would certainly find ways to prevent that child from being born.

But the mistress of the house was very generous and didn't worry about her status being threatened. Think about it, she is the only legitimate daughter of Duke An Ding, and her two brothers are also capable, both having secured positions in court. Besides, her dowry was substantial, so she wouldn't feel wronged at all.

After marrying into the Marquis's mansion, the young mistress immediately became pregnant. She was respectful to the elders in the household and had already secured her position. There was no need to fight with her husband over their child; doing so would only drive them apart.

Now that the mistress is unconcerned, but there are several women in the back garden who are willing to watch other concubines shine. Those people can't reach the mistress's courtyard, so they will point their fingers at Gao's concubine.

Madam didn't want to take the blame, so she gave silver as a reward. After all, food and drink, clothes, and accessories are easy to tamper with, so giving silver is the best option.

After returning home, Lin Yaizu first went to see Gao's mistress and then came over to Lianyi's side. As a husband, he knew that his wife must be feeling unwell, so he specially came to comfort Lianyi.

Ripple didn't care at all, but she wouldn't show it. She just tapped Lin Yaozu's chest with her finger and pouted, saying:

"Husband, you are truly capable. My child hasn't even been born yet, and you have already arranged for a concubine to bear a son."

Lin Yaizu felt a little guilty, but he still patiently explained:

"My lady, you’ve been pregnant and won’t let me touch you. I had no choice but to find solace with the concubines. Who knew that after your mother saw you were pregnant, she stopped giving the concubines the contraceptive decoction I don't want to have a bastard child so soon."

If you are unhappy, I will find a reason to punish your elder sister-in-law and cause her child to be miscarried. Then, you should not be angry with your husband anymore.

After hearing Lin Yaizu's scum man quotes, Lianyi just wants to grab his collar and ask him where he gets the confidence to think that child must be his.

But leaning against Lin Yaizu's chest, she lightly pounded his ribs and then chided him:

"You're going to be a father soon, don't you have any responsibility That's a human life, I want to accumulate blessings for the child in my womb!"

Isn't this putting me in a dangerous position! Then wouldn't Gao Yiniang hate me I'm not someone who can't tolerate others.

"I am your rightful wife, and the children in my womb are your legitimate sons and daughters. Other women cannot compare to me, so their children naturally cannot compare to mine. What do I have to begrudge"

Lin Yaozu rubbed his sore chest, which was hurting from the blow. He could only smile and say:

"That's why I said you are generous, my lady. You consider everything for me. Don't worry, I'll tell my mother. The soup in the back garden can't be stopped. We'll talk about it after our child is born."

"Alright, don't bother Mother anymore. Since it's stopped, let it be. Mother-in-law must think that the Lin family has few children and that's why she did this. I don't want to make Mother-in-law feel like I'm not on the same page as her."

Waves directly rejected Lin Yaozu's proposal. Anyway, those concubines didn't have Gao Yiniang's courage, and Lin Yaozu had lost his ability to sow seeds. Even the best land wouldn't grow anything without seeds. Why should she bear the blame

Lin Yaozu was obviously very pleased with Lian's generosity. He generously bought Lian a set of ruby-inlaid headwear, making the women in the backyard truly envious and hateful, especially Gao Yi-niang. It is said that she broke a jade hairpin out of jealousy.

Gao Yiniang didn't understand. She was the one who was pregnant, yet she was called "young mistress" instead of being praised. Luckily, she knew her place and understood that the child in her belly was the most important thing right now, so she quickly calmed down and focused all her attention on taking care of her pregnancy.

After returning, Grandma Sun immediately went to see Liàn Yī.

"Ma'am, I'm back."

"Have things on your mother's side been resolved"

"Everything has been handled properly, the Hou Mansion hasn't incurred any resentment from the Prime Minister's Residence."

Grandmother Sun immediately said.

"Grandma Zhen and Mei Zhi stay. All of you go down."

Ripple hugged Whirlwind as she sipped her drink and waved with her free hand.

After all the other maidservants had left, Lianyi finally asked:

"Grandma Sun, how exactly should we handle this"

"Madam, Miss Zhao Er fell into the water. It was her own doing. The maidservants around her and even the servants by the lake in the back garden were all sent away by her. So, there is no blame to place on Lord An Ding's mansion."

The mistress arranged for Nanny Yao to personally send Miss Zhao Er back to the Prime Minister's residence and explained the whole situation clearly. The Prime Minister's residence did not make things difficult for the mistress.

The Wind Chieftain, who had only come to the Prime Minister's residence to apologize for rescuing people, wasn't seen by the Prime Minister. Instead, the next day, a generous gift was sent as thanks for saving his second daughter.

However, it has been rumored that after Miss Zhao returned home these past two days, she fell ill. She has called upon several renowned physicians, all of whom diagnosed her with a cold entering the body, coupled with emotional distress, which is why her condition hasn't improved.

Grandma Sun said.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yi understood that the Grand Secretary was protecting his own daughter and did not want her to have anything to do with Feng Wu. In essence, he did not want his daughter to marry Feng Wu.

"I understand, these two days you've taken care of my mother for me and must have worked hard. I'll give you three days off to reunite with your family."

Liàn Yī said generously.

"Madam, the old servant does not need to rest."

"Grandmother Zhen is taking care of things in the courtyard. You should rest easy."s and jewelry. They should all be things she had stashed away in her space during the chaos. There were even four or five boxes of condoms, as well as ice skates and an ice sled. It was clear that the...
