Fourth Miss usually did not have much grace, and if anything happened, he would ask major wife for help. When he had first schemed for Gu Yun, it was unknown whether or not he had ever imagined that there would come a day when he was able to muddle his way through Marquis Mansion to such a degree that it was undesirable for anyone to help him.
The Crown Prince's Wife wanted to protect Fourth Miss completely because of the child inside her. However, if the result was detrimental to the Eastern Palace, according to the principle of abandoning the car to protect the commander, pushing the Fourth Miss out was not impossible. Who knew what kind of rotten debt the Duke Qin and the Crown Prince had, that even the His Majesty wouldn't be able to deal with it? Only when his brain was damaged would he intervene, and even if he wanted to intervene, Gu Yun had to give him an opportunity.
In Marquis Mansion, anything that came to Gu Yun was like a dead end, although there was Xie Jingxi, she was not at the mercy of others, and if it came to her, it would be like a stone sinking into the ocean, she would not even bring it up.
Or did Gu Yun come back and ask him, ”Regarding the Fourth Miss, did father talk to you about it?”
Xie Jingxi casually replied, ”Father said it in such a vague way, how would I know what he's going to say?”
Gu Yun laughed, his wife's feigning ignorance was already at the pinnacle of her abilities, but in the end, Eastern Palace's matter, being confused was not really that big of a deal, because it would not be long before it was a big deal.
The Spring Festival was about to start, and everyone's attention was focused on the Spring Festival. Regarding the matter of giving Gu Heng a concubine, Lady Zeng had clearly mentioned it to him, but contrary to Lady Zeng's expectations, Gu Heng did not object this time.
She had even received Marquis's support in advance and was prepared to take a strong hand. If he did not agree, Lady Zeng would prepare to tie him up on his bed, and it wouldn't end well if he did not give her a grandson.
With Gu Heng acting in such a manner, Lady Zeng was simply overjoyed, and thought about how he should take the opportunity to add a few more girls called Yu Yan into the house, then decided to send her into Gu Heng's house. Yu Yan was sent into Lady Zeng with the Lin family's daughter-in-law's daughter, and was also a daughter of Marquis Mansion. If not for the Lin Family's daughter-in-law not being old enough, Lady Zeng originally planned to send the two of them over. However, she was afraid that Gu Heng would feel disgusted, hence she only sent one of them over to see his reaction.
Although Yu Yan was not as dignified and beautiful as a noble daughter, she was still considered a pretty lady. It was really tiring for Lady Zeng to give her away, and she kept mulling over Gu Heng's preferences, it was obvious that Gu Heng did not like her beauty that was ostentatious. It was the quiet lady called Yue Wen in the study that she favored, so Yu Yan and Yue Wen shared a similar job.
The next day, he heard from the old wet nurse in Gu Heng's room that Yu Yan had already been taken in by Gu Heng, and when Lady Zeng heard this, he was already feeling better.
The old granny saw that Gu Heng had grown up, and the degree of happiness she felt was not inferior to Lady Zeng's. ”My lady is overjoyed, Second Young Master has finally been enlightened, and it is not that Second Young Master is unlucky, I think he did not meet anyone he likes. Isn't this the first time I saw Yu Yan saying that?
At first, she only wanted to send him in, so that Lady Fang could enter in a few days' time. However, she did not expect Gu Heng to be so impatient, and was afraid that it would be difficult for him to let her in. But now it seemed like it was nothing, as long as Gu Heng was enlightened, it would not make sense.
”Forget it, all of you wait on her, it's just that Yu Yan doesn't want to carry her right now, so I can let her be at ease. As long as she is pregnant, I will make the decision.”
But before waiting for Lady Zeng to be happy for two days, she heard that Yu Yan was sick. Lady Zeng was suspicious, why did a healthy young lady suddenly become sick, thus Lady Zeng specially invited a doctor from his residence to go over to take a look, the result of the doctor's examination was her abdominal pain causing her to collapse, the cold energy in her body congregating to the extreme, and after prescribing a few times, she was unable to stop herself, and Yu Yan's body immediately became weak.
When the Lady Zeng got anxious, she personally went over to ask her why. When Yu Yan and the others came here to help her make the decision, she was finally willing to speak and explain the reason. After the Second Young Madam found out, she would deliver a bowl of Sterility Soup s every morning. After drinking for a few days in succession, Yu Yan's days had actually come early, not only that, her abdominal pain was so severe that she couldn't get out of bed.
Yu Yan was extremely weak, which was why she heard about it. However, this was not the whole story, because the Second Young Madam would call Yu Yan to come and serve her everyday, and in the morning, she would make kneel outside the house for an hour, and when Xie Jingqi woke up to pour tea and wash her clothes, she would do all the menial work. This was how the bruises on Yu Yan's legs came about, and if she did anything that did not satisfy the Second Young Madam, she would be beaten and scolded.
Hearing Lady Zeng's hints, Yu Yan felt that it would be better to just endure for a few days. After all, the Second Young Madam was the original wife, and as a girl who did not have a name or share, Yu Yan should be serving the Young Mistress while she lived. If Yu Yan complained to the Lady Zeng because of this, she would be being too unreasonable.
