Chapter 9 Desire is infinitely magnified
The third lady couldn't bear to let her children be influenced by her.

Thinking about it, she would still like to thank Ying Wang for coming to such a trip, completely helping her eliminate all possibilities of turning back.

"Then what happened to Aunt Yuan?" Jiang Ruohua kept writing, and said casually, "Is it sick? Or something?"

This aunt Yuan is from the third room, and she gave birth to a concubine daughter named Jiang Ruoqi for her third uncle. One, her third uncle had quite a few women, and the third wife seemed gracious to let him in one by one, but none of them gave birth to a bastard for him.

The Daqi Dynasty stipulated that unless there is no son-in-law in the family, or the son-in-law is stupid and sick, and cannot bear the burden of the family business, the son-in-law can be selected as the heir. The third wife is very clear-minded, and it is also because her son-in-law is weak in the womb. Taking medicine like running water, the third wife is afraid that her husband will inherit the Duke's mansion in the future, but her son will give way to the concubine.

"Yes." Hua Chan said two words, and immediately made Jiang Ruohua understand why Aunt Yuan in Mengli disappeared without saying a word.

Aunt Yuan is pregnant, and it is likely to be a boy.

"Does the third lady know?" Jiang Ruohua asked.

"The servant is walking fast, it should not be there yet." Hua Chan said, "When the servant brought the doctor over, Aunt Yuan saw that something was obviously wrong, she had the third master's child, it should have been a happy thing. "

"It is a happy event to be born, and it is bad luck if it is not born." No one will ask whether it is not well-served, whether the child is weak, and the aunt is lowly. Yes, bad luck, no luck to conceive a child of the Lord's family, such a case, in the Duke's mansion, especially the third bedroom, is really not uncommon.

It is also the reality under the magnificence among the high gates.

"This is a good thing." Jiang Ruohua thought for a while, "She wants to hide it, how can she hide it?"

Hua Chan said: "Miss, are you saying that Aunt Yuan doesn't want people to know that she is pregnant? But the maidservant saw the truth at the time, the medicine bag that the little girl dropped on the ground was mostly filled with tonics."

It doesn't look like she doesn't want this child.

"It's not that I don't want to have this child." Jiang Ruohua's hands were a little sore, and he put down his pen and rubbed his wrists lightly, "I just want to hide it for a while, so that the third wife will not know, my aunt's status is low, but if I can give birth to a son , I can be happier in my later years, but the third son-in-law is weak, and the third wife will never let the aunt give birth to a son-in-law to threaten her son."

"I understand." Hua Chan nodded, "Miss, do you want to give Aunt Yuan a favor?"

"She can't do anything. The third wife is also from a famous family. It is impossible for Aunt Yuan, a helpless concubine, to replace the third wife." Even if the third wife dies, the third wife will only welcome the new mistress. , never let a concubine who has no roots and a humble background become a wife. In essence, Aunt Yuan can't solve her life's misery by doing anything. She grows up safely, not to mention that she has to be successful in order to make her life easier. The concubine cannot inherit the family business. Under the pressure of the third wife all day long, how can it be so easy to become a talent on his own?
However, who makes some things better to hit the sun than to choose the day, Jiang Ruohua stretched slightly: "Giving favors is not something to talk about. If Aunt Yuan is smart, she should know that I can't help her give birth to the child for nothing."

She doesn't expect Aunt Yuan to do anything, she's just an aunt after all, but once the boy in her womb is born, it can distract the third lady's energy. of.

"Let's prepare some supplements. The news will spread tomorrow. Let's go again." Jiang Ruohua was not in a hurry. Even if she knew that Aunt Yuan was pregnant, the third lady would not be able to do it right away.

"Right now." She lowered her head and sighed, "I still have to finish copying this scripture first..."

She doesn't like copying books, just like military generals never like civil officials who are full of words.

But there was no way, after waking up from a big dream, she realized how powerful she was, so she had to calm herself down and learned a lesson, people have to grow up after all.

"My servant helped Miss grind ink." Yin Qiu smiled, "Miss is much calmer than before. In the past, your master punished you for copying books, but you were really reluctant."

"There's nothing I can do now if I don't want to." Jiang Ruohua smiled and joked with the two girls, "I understand now. I always felt that something was wrong with my life, but I couldn't tell."

"...Third Madam is not your biological mother after all." Yin Qiu rubbed his ink slowly, and couldn't help saying, "If Madam is still here, maybe you don't have to suffer these grievances."

Thinking about what Miss Ying said when she came back from the engagement with King Ying that day, Yinqiu knew what was going on with the third lady. A third lady and King Ying were not good things. The poor lady almost...

"Miss, you said before that the third house is for the prosperity and wealth of the entire Duke's mansion, but if that's the case, why do you want to target you like this? The wife died early, the general never took a concubine to remarry, and the servant said something presumptuous. In the eyes of this servant, isn't this country's mansion going to fall into the hands of Sanfang anyway?"

That's right, even the little maid can understand this, but she was concealed so well in the dream, think Jiang Ruohua gritted her teeth slightly.

"Desires can be infinitely magnified." Jiang Ruohua raised his eyes, "When I get a little, I want more. I always feel that the next one is close at hand, and I always feel that the next one will definitely be available. The great cause of the Duke's family." Da, put it here, why are you willing to wait for my father a hundred years later?"

Sanfang was too greedy, Jiang Ruohua took a sip from the teacup, and then slowly said: "Besides, my mother came from an imperial merchant's family, and her dowry is rich, but the third wife can't move it. As long as I get married, I will be fine." It will be taken away by me exactly."

Why doesn't the third lady envy these things?The high-ranking family in Beijing, the official may not be rich, but the imperial merchants must be rich and powerful. Almost half of the money and treasures in the Duke's Mansion are the mother's dowry.

Seeing the surprise of the two girls, Jiang Ruohua softened his expression: "Guess, you two, why the third lady would use such a treacherous method to make me feel ashamed in front of King Ying?"

"In order to prevent Miss from marrying well?" Hua Chan frowned, "King Ying is not a good match at all, what's wrong with Miss? He doesn't like it, and he can't afford to treat Miss like this. Is there anyone in this world Do they look the way he likes them?"

"Yes, the servants follow Miss to learn how to read and understand the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences. King Ying's character is really nothing more than that." Yin Qiu also echoed.
