Chapter 5

The next day, before dawn, An Yi went to the old lady to greet her, and directly asked for Jie Xiang to be her concubine.

"No!" The old lady said directly, "It's okay for that girl, Jiexiang, to be a concubine, and wait until she waits for Lin'er."

An Yi's anger rose steadily.

Firstly, the illegitimate child failed under the name, and then the concubine failed. No wonder the original owner, Mrs. Hou Ye, still couldn't be the master of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years. Feelings have become a mistress who doesn't count.

An Yi suppressed his anger, and said meekly, "...Grandma, as the saying goes, fame comes first and then you have a share. It's like blooming first and then bearing fruit. I gave the Hou Ye incense, isn't it just to spread the branches and leaves for the Hou Mansion."

The old lady: "I have a clean family from generation to generation. Even if I take a concubine, I have to be clean. Who are you going to get rid of, all your maids of unknown origin?"

An Yi: "..."

Net worth.

All right, she will go back to her mother's house now.

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law will go back to her natal family and pick a few families with clean identities to have children."

Hearing this, the old lady nodded slightly: "Go! Pick a good-looking one with a big butt that can bear sons, don't be like you, an old hen that doesn't lay eggs!"

An Yi gritted her teeth: "...Yes!"

She gave birth to seven daughters!Seven!
Just because she doesn't have a son, she becomes a hen that doesn't lay eggs?
old hag!
If it wasn't for the great cause of the Hou family, she would have divorced immediately.

After An Yi paid her respects, she took the incense sticks, got into the carriage, and hurried back to her mother's house.

But the natal mother-in-law is actually only one street away.

When An Yi arrived at her mother's house, there was already a servant waiting at the door.

As soon as she got off the carriage, the other party warmly greeted her and led her to her mother's yard.

"Ninny! You are finally home!"

Speaking of which, what An Yi remembered in the memory of the original owner was all what he had done in the past seven years, and he never returned to her mother's house once.

What's even more outrageous is that she has no memory before the original owner gave birth to seven.

What she has is that after Xiaoqi was born, the original owner hated the child as a daughter, and later insulted several daughters.

An Yi didn't want to if he couldn't figure it out.

After a short talk with her mother, An's mother pointed to the girls in the yard and said, "Ninny, these are the most beautiful maidservants in the house, take whichever one you see."

An Yi nodded, and asked for eight in one go.

An's mother was puzzled, "Ninny, how do you choose these fancy but useless ones? All of them will fall when the wind blows, how can they protect you and Yuxi, take a look at these."

When Mother An saw that she had chosen eight, she automatically brought An Yi in for eight of them, mother and daughter.

She pointed to a few maidservants who were big and rough and spoke loudly.

"Mother, these are the ones I picked for Lord Hou to serve him..."

"Why?" Mother An's first reaction was to give her daughter a high temperature on her forehead, "It's not burning, how can you be so stupid?"

"Mother." An Yi actually didn't dare to get in touch with An's mother, for fear of being seen as not the original owner.

She took a few steps back and said with a smile, "I am domineering to everyone in the world, so my daughter thought about it for a few days, and she felt that it made sense, so she decided to be like the queen empress, be tolerant, and accept a few more younger sisters to serve her husband. Scattering leaves, continuing the bloodline..."

The more An Yi spoke, the more moved she became.

She is really the best wife, but I can't make it up.

"Mother, my daughter doesn't have a son, so she will depend on the children of these girls in our house for the rest of her life."

In my heart: Impossible!

With so many daughters, she would recruit a son-in-law.

"My daughter..." An's mother hugged An Yi distressedly, "Why is life so hard, why is there no son."

"Mom, don't worry, it will be fine."

An Yi just felt stuffy, not sure if it was An's mother's strength or what.

She wanted to escape from this strange yet familiar feeling.

So, An Yi found an excuse and went back to the Hou Mansion.

Back at the mansion, I saw my eldest daughter leaning against a pillar not far from the gate, tears streaming down my face.

"Hey, what's the matter?" An Yi ordered Jie Xiang to take eight maidservants to Lord Hou's yard, and she hurried to her daughter and asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yan glanced at her, then turned her head away with a soft snort.

An Yi didn't know why, so he asked the maid Hong Zhu with his eyes.

Hongzhu snorted coldly, "Your majesty forgets things a lot. I was in a good mood yesterday and wanted to coax our eldest girl. Today, I went out early and we didn't even see a shadow."

An Yi frowned, subconsciously asked Jie Xiang, and looked back, the girl Jie Xiang had not yet come over after leading her.

Helpless, I had no choice but to ask the yin and yang strange Hong Zhu.

"Huh!" Hong Zhu poked her nose up at her face, and snorted coldly: "Mrs. yesterday clearly said that she would take the eldest girl out of the mansion, but today she went out early by herself, so it's fine if she didn't take it. Why did she lie to us? The eldest girl got up early in the morning, and she got up early. Hou waited for a long time outside Tinglan courtyard, but there was not even a ghost."

"Red Pearl!"

Yu Yan lowered her face, "Don't be so rude!"

After talking about the servant girl Hong Zhu, she turned to An Yifu and said, "Mother is fine, so Yuxi will take her leave first."

After speaking, the little girl walked away.

"Hey!"

An Yi remembered what he had promised yesterday, and quickly grabbed Yu Yan: "Isn't mother coming back to take you out of the house? Come on, let's go out to eat."

Yu Yan twitched her wrist in resistance, and An Yi quickly pulled it back.

"Hey, mother didn't forget to take you out of the house. Mother went to your grandmother's house today. Look, she picked someone. Mother didn't even eat and came back quickly. So, good girl, don't be angry, okay?"

The eldest daughter has a slightly stubborn temper, especially in the memory of the original owner's eight years of cursing at the child.Now that she has been ill for the past two months, she treats the children better, and the relationship has eased a bit, but she can't have any more intentions just because she forgot about it.

As soon as An Yi led the eldest daughter out of the mansion, Cheng Rui arrived behind.

"Where's the lady?!"

He asked, with an indifferent face, the gatekeeper was too frightened to speak out.

"Go back to Lord Hou, Madam took the eldest girl out." said the butler.

Hearing this, Cheng Rui glanced at the housekeeper with cold eyes, and then his eyes stopped on Jiexiang.

"Your wife has recovered from her illness and her eyesight is very poor. She must keep these eight pieces of hay to serve her, or send them back to Anfu."

After speaking, he strode out of the house.

Jie Xiang nodded obediently, "Master Hou, don't worry, this servant will definitely tell Madam without saying a word."

Bringing the words to An Yi, An Yi frowned after listening.

"Jiexiang, Lord Hou said that I was cured, did you really say those three words through gritted teeth?" An Yi asked.

Jie Xiang nodded heavily: "Yes, that's what Hou Ye said, and this servant dare not lose the slightest tone."

"..."

I am cured?
She has been ill for two months, when will Lord Hou care?
Forget it, think about it so much.

An Yi shook his head, turned his head to look, and was so frightened that the tea in his mouth was not fragrant.

In the teahouse on the second floor, their mother and daughter are sitting by the windowsill.

She was talking to Jie Xiang just now, and now she realizes that something is wrong with An Jing's daughter.

Yu Yan, who was wearing a gauze hat, was staring at the distance with dazed eyes. Following her gaze, she saw a vegetable seller below holding a yellowed book, shaking his head and reading silently.

Take a closer look, although the vegetable seller is worn out, he is full of energy. He looks like a hardworking and positive man.

Jie Xiang could see the clue with just one glance, she listened to her and said, "Ma'am, the eldest girl is sixteen."
