The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Shen Baozhao was surprised why Third Madam Tang reacted so strongly when she knew Third Young Master Qiao had recovered from his illness.

This is not like her usual style.

But Shen Baozhao did not ask any more questions, and Tang just sat in the chair in a daze, not saying a word.

In the evening, Shen Baozhao did not plan to stay overnight in Rongde Hall, but continued to leave Bixiao to look after the old lady.

Because Tang was worried about Liu Niang, she only appointed a housekeeper to replace her.

I returned to Zhaoming Garden, cleaned myself, and changed into pajamas.

Qingkong then reported: "Miss, you are really as good as a god."

"That Miss Wang San really entered the Duke of Lu's mansion and never came out again."

It turned out that when they were at the charity hall, Shen Baozhao asked several children to keep watch for her at the gate of the Duke of Lu's mansion.

Shen Baozhao wondered, would Shen Yan keep Wang Sanniang?

"What, you want to stay?" Shen Yan asked Wang Sanniang who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

Wang Sanniang moved to Shen Yan on her knees, grabbed her skirt, and cried, "Cousin, I really have nowhere to go."

"You know, my father is obsessed with Wushisan. If I don't have money to buy it for him, he might sell me out."

"Cousin, please be kind. I can be your maid. I can learn everything. I just want to be by your side and serve you."

Shen Yan pulled the hem of her skirt back from Wang Sanniang with a look of disgust.

Thinking of Wang Sanniang, who used to compete with him for favor, now kneeling at his feet like a lost dog, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Anyway, the Duke's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, so it's not impossible to have an extra maid.

"As for my uncle and aunt, I will ask the steward to settle them down. I will allocate a small house with two entrances for them to live in for the time being."

"As for you, you can stay. Now that the Loyalty Earl's Mansion is gone, if I still keep you like a spoiled young lady, I won't be able to justify it to my mother-in-law."

"You will be like a green willow and be my personal maid. I will give you a first-class maid a salary of one tael per month."

"Forget about the indenture or anything like that. We are relatives after all. If you think it's okay, then stay."

Shen Yan waved her hand and said in a generous manner.

Wang Sanniang was just pretending to be pitiful and said she wanted to be Shen Yan's maid, but she didn't expect Shen Yan to really do so. She was so shocked that she forgot to continue crying.

But I was the one who proposed it first. If I refuse again, Shen Yan will definitely not keep me.

She thought about how the house was in such a mess and the maids and servants had all been sold off. Even if she returned to the Wang family, she would still have to do laundry and cook every day.

Who knows, her father might marry her off to a rich family as a concubine in exchange for money.

The earth-shaking changes in the past two days have made her simply fed up!

The Duke's mansion was filled with beauties, and even the maids lived a more respectable life than the girls from ordinary families.

Besides, the eldest young master in the mansion has not married yet. If he falls in love with me, wouldn't I no longer have to suffer?

Wang Sanniang has always been confident in her beauty and talent. She thinks Shen Yan is just luckier than her.

If she had an elder sister who was a concubine, she would also be qualified to be the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion.

Wang Sanniang's eyes sparkled, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face: "Thank you, cousin. Thank you, cousin. I will definitely work hard."

"Cousin, don't call me cousin from now on. Just be like a green willow and call me the Crown Prince's wife.

And you have to change your name, how about Qingping?" Shen Yan raised the corner of her lips and showed a proud smile.

She was just informing, not asking. Wang Sanniang had no right to refuse.

Wang Sanniang, no, Qingping lowered her head and said obediently: "Yes, Madam of the Crown Prince."

There was a venomous look in her eyes. How despicable!

Shen Yan naturally nodded with satisfaction and asked the servants to take Qingping downstairs to settle her down.

She leaned on the beauty couch and rubbed her waist. Calculating the time, the baby in her belly was more than three months old, and her waist had thickened a lot.

Although her belly was slightly bulging, nothing could be seen because of the loose clothes covering it.

Seeing that Shen Yan seemed tired, Lvliu hurried forward to help her massage her legs.

"Green Willow, come and massage my head for me."

"Recently, the mansion has been trying to find the whereabouts of the miracle doctor. Is there any progress from the outer courtyard?" Shen Yan asked casually.

Ever since Chen Ke's legs were broken, the Duke's Mansion has been sending people to seek medical treatment and medicine everywhere.

I heard that the Imperial Hospital's Director Zeng talked about the Poison Star Valley's master Luo Bucheng, who could revive the dead and turn bones into flesh. He also said that when he was young, he was fortunate enough to learn the art of identifying medicines from Luo Bucheng.

In short, he highly respected Valley Master Luo and once asserted that if Valley Master Luo couldn't cure Chen Ke's leg, then no one in the world could.

Lady Gu, the wife of the Duke, immediately sent people to the Poison Star Valley.

Lvliu replied, "I heard from someone in the mansion that the miracle doctor said he was traveling. He didn't tell his disciples where he was going."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find one." Lvliu said cautiously. She knew Shen Yan was desperate for the prince of Lu to have his leg healed.

Shen Yan was really furious, and slapped Lvliu's hand that was rubbing her temple, "You are all a bunch of trash."

"I can't even find anyone. How long will it take for the prince's leg to heal?"

She couldn't guarantee that she was pregnant with a boy. If Chen Ke's leg couldn't be healed, she might have to give up the throne to a virtuous man.

How can I not be anxious! Moreover, news came from the front that the Duke of Lu had already taken care of several groups of scattered Beidi soldiers as soon as he arrived at Yuheng Pass.

In spring, the grass is green and the birds are singing, and the horses of the Northern Di have plenty of fodder. It can be expected that the Northern Di will not attack by the end of the year.

Maybe Duke Lu will have to return to the capital soon. Since Chen Ke injured his leg, Duke Lu took his eldest son Chen Chen with him.

If His Majesty is pleased to reward the Duke, wouldn't the benefit fall on Chen Chen?

Since Shen Yan married into the Duke's Mansion, she has never seen this illegitimate elder brother.

Occasionally, when the maids talked about the young master, their faces would turn red. It was said that he resembled Duke Lu very much, even more than Chen Ke.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan became even more irritated and uneasy, but there was nothing she could do.

The little girl outside came to report. Seeing that Shen Yan was in a bad mood, she spoke unspeakably: "Madam, the prince has soiled the bed again."

Lvliu was afraid that Shen Yan would get angry, so she spoke first: "You little idiot, you guys should clean up the bed that the prince has made dirty, why are you reporting it to the prince's wife?"

The little girl knelt down hurriedly, and her voice became lower and lower: "The prince won't let us touch him, he only wants his wife."

Chen Ke's temper has become strange since he injured his leg. If he pees or poops in bed, he doesn't want anyone else but Shen Yan to change his clothes.

Shen Yan was exhausted and miserable every day. With the Duke's wife Gu staring at her, she did not dare to express her dissatisfaction.

Just when she was helpless, she suddenly thought of a good idea.

Then he covered his stomach and cried, "No, my stomach hurts.

Luliu, go check if Qingping has finished packing. If she has, ask her to help the prince change clothes."

I couldn't stop my excitement in my heart, Wang Sanniang, you have come to this day!
