The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Chen Qianmo couldn't listen to any advice now. He shook his head and said, "Mammy, Miss Liu is as knowledgeable as a man. If you take her into the mansion as soon as possible, she can accompany me to study. I am also considering the imperial examination."

Upon hearing that Miss Liu was so well-educated, Madam Zhuang smiled happily: "That's great. In the past, Miss Liu's knowledge was not inferior to that of men. She often dressed as a man and studied with several disciples of the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor also said that if Miss Liu were a man, she would definitely pass the imperial examination."

"Brother, you are the son of the young lady and the elder, you will definitely pass the exam this time."

When Chen Qianmo heard about high school, he became a little annoyed. He said casually, "Let's clean up the yard next to me and let Miss Liu live there. Let's call it Yilan Courtyard."

Nanny Zhuang felt something was wrong, so she secretly bumped into Uncle Fu, hoping he would come out to stop it, but Uncle Fu was completely daydreaming.

"What's wrong?" asked Uncle Fu.

Nanny Zhuang rolled her eyes and said nothing, so Chen Qianmo had to give the order again.

"By the way, Uncle Fu, just now in the hall, you kept hinting to me, should I not hand over the account book to Meng Wenyao?"

"Yes, sir." Uncle Fu said nervously.

He couldn't say that he hadn't made a lot of money over the years, so he had to make up a story: "This family business originally belonged to the young master. If it was handed over to the lady, what if she secretly transferred it to her own name or did something else, wouldn't it hurt the young master's interests?"

Chen Qianmo had never considered yellow and white things before, and he didn't care about it now. He said indifferently: "Uncle Fu, you worry too much. Meng Wenyao can't have children. I am her stepson. I only need to provide for her in her old age. Not to mention the Chen family's property, even her dowry will be mine in the future. Now she is just keeping it temporarily. You don't have to worry too much."

Uncle Fu was anxious, but seeing that Chen Qianmo completely ignored him, he had no other idea and had to agree first and then think of a solution.

"Okay, I will go and prepare the layout of Yilan Courtyard first, and then calculate a date to pick up Miss Liu."

In the main courtyard, Meng Wen Yao was dragged to eat lunch in a half-dead state, and she was already extremely angry towards Chen Yanqing in her heart.

"I didn't sleep last night, and you didn't let me sleep during the day. If you continue like this, I'm going to die."

Chen Yanqing, who was about to drag Meng Wenyao for a walk after dinner, paused and pretended to scold her, "Don't say such unlucky words. Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll help you massage it."

It was originally a serious massage, but as Meng Wen Yao kept shouting "Too heavy, lighter", Chen Yanqing simply burst out with all his strength, and Meng Wen Yao's back pain became even worse.

As a newlywed, Chen Yanqing was already very fond of the sweetness of love, and he hardly left Meng Wenyao's room during the three-day honeymoon.

Only after he started attending court did Meng Wen Yao have time to wander around the Chen Mansion.

She saw someone busy fiddling with flowers and asked curiously, "What is this for?"

The young gardener said respectfully: "This is for Yilan Courtyard."

Yilan Courtyard? Meng Wenyao had never heard of this courtyard. She told Xiaoju, "Go find someone to get Madam Zhuang here. Why haven't we seen her report back in the past two days?"

Xiao Ju blushed and said, "Miss, Madam Zhuang really went there twice. You and the elder were both in the room and refused to come out, so she had no choice but to leave."

Well then, Meng Wenyao said awkwardly: "Go quickly."

Soon, Madam Zhuang was brought over. She said respectfully, "Madam, I have always wanted to report to you, but I have never had the chance. This Yilan Courtyard is the courtyard next to the young master's. I want to renovate it for the future concubine Liu to live in."

If that's the case, it makes sense. She's just a concubine, and it's not good to make such a fuss about it. All the money is from the Chen family.

"Madame Zhuang, with such a big ceremony, those who know would say that we are taking a concubine, but those who don't would think that it is the young master marrying a wife. If you arrange it like this, will the young master still marry a wife in the future? Which rich girl would be willing to marry a young man who has a favored concubine? For the sake of the young master's future, Madame Zhuang, you should be aware of this."

She hinted at reminding Madam Zhuang that Liu Ruyan would harm Chen Qianmo in the future.

It's not that she really wants to do good for Chen Qianmo, she just simply doesn't want Liu Ruyan to live a happy life. Besides, this Madam Zhuang is always thinking about Chen Qianmo, and she will definitely be a hindrance to her future as housekeeper. If Liu Ruyan gets rid of her, it may not be a bad thing.

Madam Zhuang seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded frequently: "Madam is right, I will do it right away."

She didn't understand a lot of things, but if the news of him favoring his concubine over his wife got out, Chen Qianmo's future marriage would not go smoothly.

Chen Qianmo is the bloodline left by Master Zhuang and Miss Zhuang, and cannot be destroyed by Liu Ruyan.

Watching Nanny Zhuang leaving in a hurry, Meng Wen Yao smiled with satisfaction. No one in this family really liked Liu Ruyan. She didn't know how far they could go with Chen Qianmo's love.

A few days passed quickly, and Liu Ruyan was impatiently taken into Chen Qianmo's mansion.

She might have mistakenly thought that Meng Wen Yao was still concerned about Chen Qianmo, so as soon as she entered the Chen Mansion, she couldn't help but show off in front of Meng Wen Yao.

However, because Chen Qianmo really didn't want to call Meng Wen Yao mother, he did not accompany Liu Ruyan to meet Meng Wen Yao.

Meng Wenyao calmly watched Liu Ruyan approaching with Madam Zhuang's hand. She leaned forward slightly and said softly, "Greetings, mother."

That delicate look can indeed make a man's heart beat, but Meng Wenyao just thinks she is pretentious.

She looked at Liu Ruyan coldly, without any reaction for a long time. Liu Ruyan's legs were aching from squatting, and she couldn't help but whispered, "Mother."

Meng Wenyao finally reacted and said to Madam Zhuang with a smile, "Slap her face."

"Ah, why, what did I do wrong?" Liu Ruyan said dissatisfiedly.

Meng Wenyao didn't even look at her, she just stared at Madam Zhuang, and said with a fake smile, "Madam Zhuang, what do you think Madam Liu did wrong?"

Madam Zhuang was puzzled. It was obvious that Liu Ruyan was wrong in stealing Meng Wenyao's fiancé, but she didn't have the courage to say so. She had to smooth things over by saying, "Madam is right. Madam Liu is not well behaved. I will go back and teach her a lesson."

"You teach her? Where do you say she went wrong?" Meng Wen Yao refused to give in and did not give Madam Zhuang a chance to get away with it.

Madam Zhuang laughed awkwardly for a long time, then she bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Madam."

Meng Wenyao looked at the two people who were disrespectful, fanning herself slowly and chuckled, "I am the principal wife of Lord Chen. Only Young Master Chen and the future Madam Chen can call me mother. What is Madam Liu's status? Is she qualified to call me mother? Madam Zhuang, what do you think the Madam Chen who will come into the house in the future will think? There will not be two Madam Chens in this mansion, will there?"

"No way!"

Nanny Zhuang was so scared that she knelt down immediately. She glared at Aunt Liu fiercely, thinking that this woman had broken the rules and that Chen Qianmo would never be able to find a good marriage partner in the future.
