Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 3 Asking for the key
Chapter 3

After the court doctor came to diagnose Gu Nianchu, he looked calm and said, "Madam, you have liver depression and heart stagnation. I will prescribe a prescription for you. You still have to think about it yourself."

This is a cliché.

Nanny Tian was a little sad, and she stepped forward to beg Shen Ling: "My Lord, Xier is usually a maid who serves the Madam personally. Please spare Xier and let her take good care of the Madam."

Xier trespassed into the front yard to ask Shen Ling to save Gu Nianchu, but was punished by the old lady. She was beaten with a stick, tied up and thrown into the woodshed.

Nanny Tian was the maid who came with the general's wife as a dowry, and the managing nanny in Gu Nianchu's courtyard.

Shen Ling thought about it and ordered someone to release Xier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nanny Tian knelt down to thank her. Shen Ling glanced at Nanny Tian who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Nanny Tian, ​​you are Chu Er's dowry nanny. You should persuade Madam to be more open-minded and not get stuck in a dead end."

Nanny Tian answered yes, and Shen Ling left.

Nanny Tian just watched over her master and cried silently. Her young lady had such a miserable life.

"Mommy."

Gu Nianchu waited for a while until Shen Ling was far away, then she called for Nanny Tian, ​​who came over hurriedly: "Madam, are you feeling unwell somewhere? I'll go get the palace doctor."

Gu Nianchu waved her hand: "Mammy, no need, I'm fine."

"Ma'am, you said you were fine, but you kept everything in your heart and made yourself suffer."

Nanny Tian couldn't help crying as she spoke. Nanny Tian was the person her mother gave her. In her previous life, after Xu Yan took over the household, she was wrongly accused of stealing her master's things and selling them. She broke both of her hands and was kicked out of the house.

"Mammy, is Xi'er okay?"

That silly girl must have seen herself being punished so she ran to the front yard to find Shen Ling and was punished by the old lady.

Aunt Tian whispered, "Xi'er was beaten with five boards and still has injuries on her body. She is still worried about your health. I asked her to take good care of herself in the house and not to scare you."

Nanny Tian's eyes were red when she spoke.

Chun'er boiled the medicine and brought it in: "Mammy, medicine for the Madam."

"Chun'er, put the medicine down and go back to rest. I'm here."

Nanny Tian asked Chun'er to go out, and Gu Nianchu asked her to close the door. She waved to Nanny Tian: "Mammy, come here, I have something to tell you."

Nanny Tian walked to the bedside and wanted Gu Nianchu to drink the medicine first. Gu Nianchu picked up the medicine bowl and poured it directly into the basin for rinsing her mouth: "Mammy, I'm fine. I was just pretending to faint."

Aunt Tian was stunned: "Miss, what happened?"

It must be a big deal to make the young lady pretend to faint.

"Madam Tian, ​​the mansion is about to marry Madam Xu, and the old lady said that she would give sixty betrothal gifts."

Gu Nianchu's words made Tian Mama immediately understand what Old Madam Shen wanted to do: "Is the old lady forcing you, young lady, to use your dowry?"

The dukes in the marquis's mansion simply could not afford such a betrothal gift.

The Shen family is really shameless. Dowry is a woman's private property, but the Shen family feels at ease using the lady's dowry to live a wealthy life and even humiliate the lady.

Now they are even using the young lady's dowry to marry a concubine! The Shen family is going too far!

Nanny Tian almost gnashed her teeth and said, "Miss, don't be afraid. Nanny will go back to the general's mansion to report the news tomorrow."

"No need to go, mother will send someone to visit me tomorrow."

Gu Nianchu whispered: "Mammy, tomorrow you..."

He leaned close to Nanny Tian's ear and whispered a few words. Nanny Tian nodded continuously: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

"Miss, you are wise. I'm afraid the Shen family won't let us leave the house."

Nanny Tian was worried about Gu Nianchu's health and wanted to make some food for her. Gu Nianchu shook her head: "Mammy, I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry."

Nanny Tian was extremely sad. There was no small kitchen in Haitang Garden, and her young lady was afraid of disturbing the people in the Marquis' Mansion, so she was left starving.

The next day, Gu Nianchu did not go to Fushou Hall to pay her respects to the old lady. Nanny Tian went to tell the old lady that her wife was too sick to get out of bed.

Old Madam Shen was naturally sarcastic. After Nanny Tian left, she sent Nanny Liu, who was by her side, to take a few sturdy old women to Haitang Garden to get the key.

Gu Nianchu was still pretending to be sick. Nanny Liu went into Haitang Garden and pretended to visit Gu Nianchu: "Madam, the old lady heard that you were seriously ill, so she sent me to help you prepare the betrothal gifts for the prince to marry Madam Xu. Since you are sick now, please let someone give the key to me and I will prepare it for you."

Gu Nianchu thanked her weakly, "I'm sorry for making you worry. Please ask Aunt Liu to thank you for me."

After saying a few words casually, Gu Nianchu seemed unable to continue.

Madam Liu was a little impatient: "Madam, since you are ill, please stop saying these polite words and have someone hand the key to this old servant."

The old lady in her family has long wanted the good things in the lady's dowry, and now she can choose carefully after getting the key.

"Madame Tian, ​​I'll give the key to the palace to Madame Liu."

Gu Nianchu instructed Nanny Tian, ​​who replied with a "yes" and went to take out a bunch of keys from the palace: "Madame Liu, these are all the keys to the palace. They are all here. Please take them to the old lady."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu sneered, "Madam, you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth. Don't you know what good things there are in the palace? Madam Xu has given birth to the only heir to our mansion, and she is a great contributor to our mansion. The old lady wants to give a betrothal gift of 60 yuan. What do you mean by making excuses now?"

"Madame Liu, you are so insolent! How dare you be so rude in front of the Madam!"

Nanny Tian scolded Nanny Liu harshly. Nanny Liu clapped her hands and said, "Nanny Tian, ​​you have to understand that what I am saying now is for the old lady. The old lady is the lady's mother-in-law. Can't she teach her daughter-in-law a lesson?"

Nanny Tian said coldly: "The old lady can naturally teach Madam a lesson, but Nanny Liu is just a servant, it is not your turn to teach Madam a lesson!"

Madam Liu waved her hand and asked several sturdy maids to come forward: "You guys tie up this old man and slap him in the face!"

Nanny Tian was not afraid either. She called the servants and maids from Haitang Garden to confront them.

"Madam, don't you want to be a wife of the Shen family?"

Madam Liu didn't take Madam Tian seriously. She shouted at Gu Nianchu who was lying on the bed, "When I came here, the old lady told me that if you don't want to, then let the prince divorce you. There are three unfilial acts, and not having an heir is the worst. The prince died for you, and now you finally have a child to carry on the family line, but you don't want to. If the prince divorces you, I'm sure the general's mansion won't dare to say no."

"Even if this matter is brought before the emperor, the Marquis' Mansion is still in the right."

Gu Nianchu was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling. She walked to the door and shouted angrily, "Madam Liu, please tell me clearly, what exactly does the old lady want me to do?"

"If you want to marry a concubine, I have no objection to using all the money in the public treasury as a betrothal gift. But it is not right to use the key of the public treasury as a betrothal gift. What key should you use? Are you going to use the key of my private vault? Are you going to use my dowry as a betrothal gift for the prince's concubine?"
