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

Chen Qianmo distressedly took medicine to help Liu Ruyan reduce the swelling, his chest heaving with anger: "I know she doesn't like us and will definitely find a chance to punish us, but I didn't expect that she would dare to do that to you on the first day you came home. What a vicious woman, fortunately I didn't marry her in the first place."

"That's right. She has such a vicious mind. She tortured me so much today. Who knows what tricks she will use in the future. She might even deliberately target your husband. Your husband, you can't let a stepmother bully you."

Seeing that Liu Ruyan was fanning the flames, Madam Zhuang coughed and said, "Young Master!"

When Liu Ruyan saw Nanny Zhuang coming in, she thought that Nanny Zhuang was also being tormented by Meng Wenyao, and thought that a helper had come, so she cried even harder.

"My husband, Madam Zhuang was there at the time. Ask her how vicious Meng Wenyao was. She didn't even let Madam Zhuang go."

At this time, Chen Qianmo looked up at Madam Zhuang and said distressedly, "Madam, Meng even beat you. She is really lawless. You are an old man in the mansion, but she doesn't even give you this little respect. It's obvious that she came here for me. I'll go find my father now."

"Brother!" Nanny Zhuang suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"I was slapped in the face myself. I didn't do a good job, so I deserved it. Aunt Liu was slapped because she did something wrong. A concubine slapped her in the face and called the mistress mother. She didn't take the future young lady seriously at all. The lady said she was wrong, but she also said that the lady deliberately targeted her. In my opinion, the lady can only be regarded as impartial in handling this matter, and it cannot be regarded as revenge for personal gain."

"Madame Zhuang, you!"

Seeing that Madam Zhuang had betrayed her, Liu Ruyan turned to look at Chen Qianmo and said aggrievedly, "My husband, even if I said something wrong, Meng Wenyao shouldn't have been so harsh. It's obvious that she was deliberately taking revenge on us."

After hearing what Nanny Zhuang said, although Chen Qianmo still resented Meng Wen Yao in his heart, he also knew that if he really went to ask Elder Chen for justice, he might not get his support.

What's more, Lord Chen didn't like Liu Ruyan, and he didn't want to bring this trivial matter to Lord Chen's attention.

He comforted her softly, "Yan'er, father is doting on her now. If we go to him now, he may not necessarily seek justice for us. In my opinion, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. How about we find a suitable opportunity and make sure she has no chance to turn things around?"

Liu Ruyan, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, immediately knew that Chen Qianmo was not going to help her. She said aggrievedly: "I will listen to my husband. Yan'er will not cause trouble for my husband again in the future."

She cried and threw herself into Chen Qianmo's arms, her whole body so weak that she seemed unable to stand.

Aunt Zhuang frowned and coughed again, "Madam Liu, you were punished for not following the rules today. You should pay more attention to the rules in the future. The word 'husband' is called by the young lady. You should call him 'husband master' or 'lang jun'. You can't call him 'husband' anymore."

"what?"

Liu Ruyan had tears on her face and looked at Chen Qianmo in disbelief. She couldn't even call him husband?

Chen Qianmo felt very distressed by her behavior. He dreamed of Liu Ruyan calling him husband, so how could he agree with what Nanny Zhuang said?

He retorted in a low voice: "Mammy is too harsh. Yan'er was just yelling in her room and no one knew about it. Just be careful when you go out next time."

Nanny Zhuang curled her lips. The young master she had taught so well had been coaxed into disregarding all rules by Liu Ruyan in just one day.

She said coldly again, "Sir, Aunt Liu is a concubine. The mistress should arrange the accommodation for concubines. The young lady hasn't entered yet. If Aunt Liu lives in the main room of Yilan Courtyard, it will inevitably make the young lady feel uncomfortable. For the sake of harmony between wives and concubines in the future, you should let Aunt Liu move to the side room."

"Husband, my dowry is all in the main house!" Liu Ruyan said aggrievedly.

Madam Zhuang sneered, "Don't be ridiculous, Aunt Liu. How can a concubine get a dowry?"

Chen Qianmo looked at the weak and graceful Liu Ruyan, and then at the righteous Nanny Zhuang, and he really couldn't make a decision for a moment.

When Liu Ruyan had not come in yet, the thing he wanted most in his mind was naturally to let Liu Ruyan come in as soon as possible.

Who knew so many things would happen on the first day of marriage, and what Nanny Zhuang said was right, Liu Ruyan was just a concubine, and he had to consider her future wife.

He was also thinking of marrying a noble lady from a high-class family to surpass Meng Wen Yao. If his reputation as a concubine spread out, it would be difficult for him to marry a noble lady from a high-class family.

Rubbing Liu Ruyan's hair distressedly, he advised softly: "Yan'er, you are not a concubine in my heart, but you know Meng Wenyao is like a mad dog now. If she really goes crazy and throws your things out, we will be even more disgraced. Be obedient and live in the wing room first. After we deal with Meng Wenyao, you can live wherever you want."

He pointed his finger around and said, "Look, even though you're going to live in the wing room, there's no one else in the main room. It's all yours from now on. We're just going to put up with it temporarily, okay?"

The tear marks on Liu Ruyan's face had dried up. For the first time, she realized that crying wouldn't solve the problem.

But everything she had experienced today was because of Meng Wen Yao, and she must take revenge.

At a time when Madam Zhuang, in order to stabilize her position as the manager of the inner house and to leave a good impression on the future young lady, was trying her best to make trouble for Madam Liu.

Meng Wen Yao has already figured out Chen Yanqing's temper, which is that he has no temper about trivial matters in the inner house. As long as it doesn't come to him and the roof of the house is not lifted, he is too lazy to care about it. They are just trivial matters anyway.

So, when Meng Wenyao was with Chen Yanqing on weekdays, she would mention Liu Ruyan intentionally or unintentionally.

"My husband, do you think my hands are softer than they were a few days ago? I heard that the new concubine Liu bathed with milk, and her body was smooth and tender. I couldn't bear to do it, so I just soaked my hands, and my husband can feel them."

The touch led to the bed. Chen Yanqing's mind was full of beautiful scenery and he didn't notice that Liu Ruyan was taking a bath with milk.

One day, the two were having dinner together. One of the dishes was quite salty and Chen Yanqing frowned as soon as he ate it.

"Have you got a new cook recently? Why is the food so bad?"

Meng Wenyao considerately poured a cup of tea for Chen Yanqing and explained, "No, that's not the case. It's just that the young master is about to take the imperial examination. In order to take good care of him, the kitchen has been preparing food for twelve hours. Aunt Liu is very strict about the food and often replaces it. The original cook is really too busy to take care of us, so he may have neglected us."

"My dear husband, please make do with what you eat for now. As long as the food is good for the young master, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little for now. Once the young master is admitted to high school, all this will be worth it."

Chen Yanqing wanted to call Chen Qianmo over and give him a scolding. He thought back to when he took the imperial examination, he had to make do with a few fellow brothers and eat whatever he could get. He was not as spoiled as Chen Qianmo.
