Chen Lerong knocked on the door and it was Aunt Lan who opened the door. She folded her hands across her chest and leaned against the door frame.

Looking at Chen Liaorong who was dressed luxuriously, she was well maintained and her age was hard to tell.

Aunt Lan showed a teasing smile on her face: "Whose lady are you, and what brings you to the Liu Mansion?"

Chen Lerong frowned. The woman in front of her looked neither like a master nor a servant. Her behavior was unruly. "Who are you?"

"Auntie in the mansion."

Chen Lerong was surprised: "Are there no servants in the mansion? I need you to open the door."

Aunt Lan didn't want to either, since Liu Chen was dismissed from his official position.

After so many years of having everything provided for me, now I have to do everything myself.

She didn't recognize the woman in front of her, and didn't tell her what happened in the mansion: "There are no servants in the mansion, so I have to open the door."

Chen Lerong sighed, worried about He Shuzhen's future: "I'm here to find He Shuzhen."

Now, Aunt Lan knew that the woman in front of her was He Shuzhen's mother, and she moved away with disdain.

Chen Lerong walked to He Shuzhen's yard and saw Xiaoyu standing at the door waiting for her. She breathed a sigh of relief. She had a dowry and didn't have to worry about food and daily necessities.

He Shuzhen saw Chen Lerong coming in and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I feel so upset. Bai Lian gave birth to a son for your father."

He Shuzhen was also feeling very upset because of Liu Chen's situation and had been praying non-stop in the past few days.

I hoped Bai Lian would give birth to a daughter, but unexpectedly she gave birth to a son.

This made Liu Chen completely hopeless to stay in the capital: "This little bitch Ge's belly was too competitive. She gave birth to a son as her first child."

Chen Lerong was so angry that she couldn't speak: "What should I do next?"

He Shuzhen's expression became distorted: "There is still a long time to live. Why not just go all out and kill the child."

"If your father finds out, I will die a miserable death," Chen Lerong replied fearfully.

"When did you become so timid? I remember you once told me how you hooked up with my father."

After so many years of a life of luxury, the edges of his body have long been smoothed out.

When her family fell into poverty, she lived a wandering life every day. Not only did she not have enough food to eat, she was also often bullied.

Upon learning that he had a distant cousin working as an official in the capital, he went there alone in order to change his fate.

She tried her best to hook up with Liu Chen, and only then did she end her wandering life.

After a long time without a response, He Shuzhen continued, "If you continue like this, there will be no place for you in the He Mansion."

"Let me think about it carefully." Chen Lerong did not continue the topic: "I came here today to ask you something. Last time, Xiaoyu told you that she saw He Shulan walking out of Bai Lian's yard."

"It's true. She wouldn't lie to me, her master. You don't have to come here to ask about this."

Chen Lerong didn't want to either, but she was always worried if she didn't ask about some things in person: "I got your father drunk and found out from your father that it was He Shulan who sent Bai Lian to the mansion."

He Shuzhen threw the cup in her hand to the ground angrily: "It turns out that it was this little bitch Ge, she had set her sights on the Liu Mansion a long time ago.

She was really one step ahead: "Now that Bai Lian has given birth to a son, it will be even more difficult to drive her out. You might as well tell your father about this and let him know the sinister intentions of Bai Lian and He Shulan."

"What are you going to say? With your mouth? Without any evidence, your father won't believe it."

He Shuzhen had a terrible headache. Liu Chen's problem had not been solved yet, and now she encountered Bai Lian's problem: "I'll think of a solution. Don't worry too much."

Chen Lerong nodded, and when she thought of the situation of the Liu family, her expression became sad: "If Liu Chen loses his source of income, how will this family feed and drink?"

"That's Liu Chen's business. It has nothing to do with me. I won't starve to death anyway."

Chen Lerong agreed with what He Shuzhen did, but she was worried that Liu Chen would think she was cold-blooded and heartless: "You have already married into the Liu Mansion, how can you sit back and watch the affairs of the Liu Mansion."

"You want to control me and my dowry if you marry into the Liu Mansion? Don't even think about it."

Chen Lerong stopped persuading her. He Shuzhen had offended Liu Chen's family, and Liu Chen didn't dare to do anything to He Shuzhen.

The mother and daughter sat together and chatted for a while, and then Chen Lerong left the Liu Mansion.

……

Aunt Lan returned to the courtyard and looked at the other three aunts sitting in the courtyard: "He Yuzhen's mother has come to Liu's house."

Aunt Zhu said with disdain: "Her coming to Liu's house has nothing to do with us."

"Her coming to the Liu Mansion has nothing to do with us. I see she is wearing gold and silver, silk and satin, and her face is well maintained. She is really enviable."

Aunt Mei glanced at Aunt Lan who was speaking and said, "She is the wife of a wealthy family, so of course she wears good clothes and uses good things. It's useless for you to envy her. You will never have the life she has in your lifetime."

Aunt Lan sighed. She knew that she would never have these things or this kind of life in her lifetime. "You all know the situation in the Liu Mansion now. Not only has the food declined, but there are no servants to serve us."

At this point, he glanced at the three people beside him and said, "The He family is so wealthy, He Shuzhen's dowry must be quite a lot, let her take out some money to supplement the family expenses."

Aunt Mei sighed: "I have thought about this, and I think it is unlikely. If it were me, I would definitely not use the dowry money for household expenses."

"You are a concubine, she is a lady, your status is different. If you don't want to take it out, no one will force you. If He Shuzhen doesn't want to take it out, she will be criticized." Aunt Ju showed a happy smile on her face: "Let the young master talk to He Shuzhen about this matter."

"The young master has already discussed this matter with He Shulan, but He Shulan disagrees. That's why our meals are getting worse and worse every day," said Aunt Mei dissatisfiedly.

Aunt Ju's dark eyes rolled around: "If the young master can't do it, let the old lady go. With the old lady's pressure, He Shuzhen will definitely take out the dowry money for household expenses, so that we don't have to live a tight life."

The other three concubines agreed with this idea and came to the old lady's yard together.

I told the old lady about my idea.

Now, with the situation in the Liu Mansion, the old lady had to swallow her pride and go to He Shuzhen: "I understand. I will find time to discuss this matter with He Shuzhen."

……

The capital city began to get lively, and the annual currency festival began.

Mu Xiu, the Prince of the County, didn't want to worry about the affairs of the court and decided to take He Shulan out for a walk.

He Shulan did not refuse. The vendors at the Currency Festival came from all over the country, and they had many snacks and small commodities from various places.

On this day, the capital city will be very lively.
