I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

early summer.

The night sky was dotted with stars, and the sounds of insects and frogs could be heard faintly as we passed by the garden.

This reminded Liu Yueru of when she was still a girl, she liked to dress up in disguise every summer and ask her brothers to sneak out of the house with her to catch fireflies.

At that time, we had fun in the woods, living a carefree and happy life. I couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time.

After thinking.

The master and his servants came to Nanxi Hall.

Liu Yueru's good mood disappeared in an instant.

She walked into the courtyard with a calm expression.

On a high seat, Yuan Qinglian was diligently serving Old Madam Song fruit.

"Grandma." Liu Yueru bowed slightly.

Old Madam Song pushed the food that Yuan Qinglian brought to her mouth, sat up straight, and asked in confusion: "Why did Yue'er come here at this time?"

Liu Yueru's eyes swept over Yuan Qinglian.

Madam Song understood and turned to Yuan Qinglian beside her and said, "You go down first."

Yuan Qinglian lowered his eyes to hide his unclear expression.

He bowed slightly when he walked to Liu Yueru.

"What's the matter?" the old lady asked.

"It's Aunt Fang..." Liu Yueru said slowly.

When Yuan Qinglian heard Aunt Fang, she deliberately slowed down her pace and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what Liu Yueru said.

"Did Aunt Fang do something rude?" Old Madam Song asked with pretended concern.

Liu Yueru shook her head and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Grandmother. Our mansion is going to have a baby. Aunt Fang is pregnant with the prince's child."

"Really?" Old Madam Song was stunned, but her face was also full of joy.

At her age, besides reputation, what matters most is the offspring in the mansion. In these years, there have been only two brothers in the mansion, and only one real great-grandson. Now, there is another child.

Old Madam Song was so happy.

"Yes, I just heard Aunt Zhao say that the court physician took Aunt Fang's pulse in the afternoon. She came here to tell grandma about such a big happy event as soon as possible." Liu Yueru said with a faint smile.

Old Madam Song was also very happy, and asked Madam Chen to take the jade bracelet with a fine color. "Double happiness, take this bracelet back to Aunt Fang and let her take good care of it. Adding children to the Marquis's mansion is her most important thing now."

Liu Yueru accepted it and said, "I would like to thank Grandmother for her kindness on behalf of Aunt Fang."

She looked back at the pale-faced Concubine Yuan standing there motionless. Liu Yueru said in a calm voice, "Concubine Yuan looks so bad? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Madam Song cast a warning look at her.

"No, it's okay." Yuan Qinglian came back to her senses from her sadness.

Just as she was about to leave, Liu Yueru stopped her and said, "Yuan Yi Niang has been your husband's concubine for some time. When the time comes, she will give birth to a child for your husband. Then our mansion will be even more lively."

Yuan Qinglian's face turned even paler. Ever since she became Song Nanzhi's concubine in a legitimate way, Song Nanzhi had never come to her West Wing Pavilion once.

How could she get pregnant with the prince's child!

She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, holding back tears and responded: "Yes, I will try my best."

Say it.

She bowed and quickly left Nanxi Hall.

Old Madam Song didn't care, and happily pulled Liu Yueru aside and asked, "How are the preparations for the banquet going?"

"Grandma, the guest list has been distributed, and the dishes have been decided. Many of the people invited this time are people that my husband doesn't normally get to know, so I want to use some more precious ingredients to liven up the Marquis's Mansion. What do you think, Grandma?" Liu Yueru said while the old lady was happy.

As for the housekeeper, Old Madam Song knew that there was nothing wrong with Liu Yueru, but she didn't understand: "You are the only one in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, so do whatever you think is best."

"Yes, but the Marquis' Mansion is different now than before. There will be more places that need money in the future, and the spare silver I have is not enough." Liu Yueru lowered her eyes at the end, pretending to be embarrassed.

Old Madam Song suddenly realized that love was waiting for her here.

"Didn't I just give you three thousand taels of silver a few days ago to ask you to take care of the affairs in the mansion? How come it's used up so quickly?" Old Madam Song couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

She would be willing to spend more money on Jin'er, but it would be different if the money was used on Yan'er.

Liu Yueru looked calm and said, "Grandmother, you don't know that in order to make this banquet grand and regain the face we lost last time, we have planted a lot of new flowers in the mansion."

"Just those flowers cost almost a thousand taels!" Liu Yue said this.

Madam Song quickly retracted her hand, her eyes widened in shock: "What kind of flowers are so expensive?"

Liu Yueru lowered her head and sneered.

In previous years, the Marquis' Mansion would always replace the beautiful peonies during the flower banquets to liven up the occasion. Peony is the national flower of Kyoto and is very precious. Each replacement would cost several thousand taels.

But I found ways to get the money myself and never let them worry about it.

"Grandma, this is already the minimum standard for purchasing. In previous years, the peonies planted in the Marquis' Mansion were worth several thousand taels. For the sake of the Marquis' Mansion, I would usually reduce the price and grit my teeth to do it. This year, the market is not good and the shop's harvest is average, so I dare not purchase so much." Liu Yueru said in a calm voice.

Old Madam Song also learned from Song Nanzhi some time ago that Liu Yueru's family lived a hard life. Even the mistress of the Marquis of Zhennan still had to cook for her own mother.

She turned around and said to Mother Chen beside her, "Go get another five hundred taels from there."

Liu Yueru's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this: "Yue'er knows that it is still my grandmother who loves me in the Marquis' Mansion."

Mother Chen came back soon and handed the banknote to Liu Yueru.

Old Madam Song stared at the banknotes and felt distressed.

She then said, "Yan'er's career is starting to improve, but Jin'er is your eldest son. Shouldn't you make some plans for him as well?"

Liu Yueru smiled slightly: "Yue'er doesn't understand what grandma means, please explain it to me."

Seeing that Old Madam Song's face was not too good, Mother Chen hurriedly explained: "The young master has now successfully entered the palace as a companion. The eldest young master has been very ambitious since he was young. The old lady is worried that the eldest young master can't stand it for a while and neglects his studies."

"I want to ask Madam to see if we can let the eldest young master study at the Imperial College. This way, both of my brothers will have great prospects and can help the Marquis's mansion in the future. As the saying goes, one prospers, all prosper."

Old Madam Song nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's what Grandmother meant. There is no one like Jin'er who is suitable to enter the Imperial College at the Liu Mansion. Why not give this place to Jin'er!"

Liu Yueru said nothing. In fact, she saw Song Nanzhi coming to see her in the afternoon.

It turned out that he wanted to talk to me about this.

"Grandma, you have to go back to the Liu Mansion and discuss this matter with father before making a decision. After all, the Liu Mansion doesn't have it, but other branches do. In previous years, we chose from the side branches..." Liu Yueru neither refused nor agreed, and just kept them hanging!

Seeing that she was willing, Old Madam Song showed a little more kindness on her face: "Thank you for taking care of this matter."

Liu Yueru nodded and quickly bowed and left.

"Madam, do you really want to help the young master get into the Imperial College?" Ye Tao asked in a low voice.

"I want to help, but it also depends on whether he is lucky enough to be accepted by the Imperial College!" Liu Yueru's voice became a little colder.
