Compared to Liu Tianshu's calmness after knowing this, Hou's lips curled up slightly.

With the Queen Mother's pressure on her, she would not dare to do anything to the child even if she had a thousand tricks. But if the two young people, Liu Tian'ai and Gu Jinyun, did not control themselves and thus got a miscarriage, even if the Queen Mother was angry, she would not be able to blame them.

The more she thought about it, the better she felt about this idea. Hou tapped her knees rhythmically with her fingers and hummed an unknown tune. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood.

This matter not only spread in the Marquis' Mansion, but also reached the Queen Mother an hour later.

Today is the day Liu Tian'ai is getting married. Although Liu Tian'shu has behaved normally these days, the empress dowager is still afraid that she will make things difficult for Liu Tian'ai.

The Queen Mother didn't care much about Liu Tianyi, whom she had never met. What she cared about was the child in her belly.

Gu Jinyun is alone guarding the huge mansion, and is surrounded by brothers and stepmother who are eyeing him covetously. The empress dowager cannot relax for a moment and wishes to arrange more helpers around him.

Of course, in order to take care of Gu Jinyun, the Queen Mother did arrange a lot of people in the Marquis' Mansion, but those were all servants and would be of no use if something really happened.

What really made Gu Jinyun successful, apart from his wife and maternal family, was the hope that his children could grow up quickly. This was also the reason why the Queen Mother kept Liu Tian'ai as her child.

Liu Tian'ai was once engaged to the Chang family. Although the matter was resolved quietly and the second son of the Chang family is now engaged to Gu Jinqing, some rumors still leaked out.

Nowadays, the reason why this matter has not been spread outside is that everyone knows that the Queen Mother had taken action in this matter, and everyone is giving her face.

When I heard that Liu Tianshu set up a small kitchen for Liu Tian'ai after she came in and did not interfere in anything in Liu Qie Garden, I knew that she intended to distance herself from her.

This was the scene that the empress dowager wanted to see the most, but when she heard that Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'er ignored the children and did that kind of thing in the room in broad daylight, she was so angry that she threw the precious tea bowl to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"I really spoiled this child. He's already 20 years old, but he still doesn't understand."

Nanny Yue gently consoled her, "Queen Dowager, the Marquis is still young after all. He has not experienced many things, and there is no elder person around to teach him. That is why he does things without thinking about the seriousness of the matter."

"You're right. He's a young man, how can he understand a woman's pregnancy?"

The Queen Mother's expression softened a bit.

"The most despicable one is Liu. Doesn't she know what her body is like? She even dared to seduce the Marquis..."

After that, the Queen Mother said angrily: "Gu Liu is also stupid. She didn't even bother to warn the Marquis. If anything happens to that child, I will not forgive her."

Nanny Hua brought another cup of warm tea and placed it in front of the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, although the Marquis' wife has been married for three years, she has not yet consummated her marriage with the Marquis, and she herself does not know anything about women's childbirth.

Besides, it is impossible for a mistress of a house to have someone watching her concubine's yard all the time. If this gets out, she will have no chance of living as a human being."

"You are right. It won't work if there is no one capable person in this mansion."

The Queen Mother slowly calmed down and said to Rong Mama who was fanning her, "Rong Mama, go to our palace and carefully select two beautiful maids to send to the Marquis's residence. Also, find two old maids who are familiar with childbirth matters and have them keep a close eye on the Marquis and Liu."

"Yes!"

After paying her respects, Madam Rong went back to make the arrangements.

Those who can enter the palace to be maids must at least have decent looks. It is difficult to find an ugly one in the harem.

Madam Rong didn't dare to look for someone outside casually, so she gathered all the palace maids in the Cining Palace and selected two beautiful girls of sixteen years old from them, and also found two madams with childbirth experience in the palace.

Give these four people an hour to pack up and then go to report to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had calmed down by now. When she heard that Rong Mama had already selected the people, she asked the four people to come and meet her. Then the Queen Mother gave each of them some rewards and let the four people go back to pack their things.

When the four of them left, they all knew the purpose of their trip and that they could no longer stay in the palace. After they kowtowed to the Queen Mother to express their gratitude, they reluctantly left.

Although the Empress Dowager had a bad temper, she seldom took it out on the servants. In the Cining Palace, as long as they did their job well, they could live a peaceful life.

They left the Cining Palace and went to the Marquis' Mansion. Although they said on the surface that they were going to serve the young Marquis and Aunt Liu, everyone knew that they were part of the Marquis' Mansion from now on, and their lives and deaths were in the hands of the Marquis's wife.

Of course, they came from the palace and represented the Queen Mother. As long as they did not do anything to harm the Marquis' Mansion, even the Marquis's wife would not dare to do anything to them.

Liu Tianshu thought that the Queen Mother would definitely take action after knowing that Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai made their declaration in the room in broad daylight, but she did not expect that she would directly send four people over.

Looking at the four indentures placed in front of her, Liu Tianshu sipped her tea gently.

"Madame Tian, ​​Madame Qian, you are both elders in the palace and you know best what women should pay attention to when giving birth. I know nothing about this and need your guidance.

From now on, you will follow Aunt Liu, and your indentures will be handed over directly to Aunt Liu."

As she spoke, Liu Tianshu handed the indentures of Nanny Tian and Nanny Qian to the two of them.

"This……"

Although she was just an ordinary nanny in the Cining Palace, she was from the palace and represented the empress dowager.

For the sake of the Marquis's offspring, it would be fine for them to serve a concubine. But if they gave the indenture contract to Concubine Liu, they would only belong to Concubine Liu from now on.

They looked down upon a small marquis's mansion, let alone a concubine in it.

Neither Nanny Tian nor Nanny Qian went to take their indenture contracts. Instead, they knelt upright in front of Liu Tianshu.

"Madam, the Queen Mother sent us here to take care of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, not to reward them directly to Aunt Liu."

"Madams, I have no choice but to do this."

Liu Tianshu couldn't send the two maids back directly, but she also couldn't hold on to their indentures.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with these two maids, but she knows Liu Tian’ai’s character too well. If the indentures of the two maids were still in his hands, he would always find various reasons to say that he wanted to harm the children in their bellies.

"Madams, you all know the relationship between Aunt Liu and I. Although we are sisters, our relationship is just average.

Now that we are both married into the Marquis' Mansion and serving the Marquis together, even if I do nothing, she will think that I will harm him and the child in his belly.

This indenture is in my hands. She can’t trust you completely, let alone do what you say…”
