Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Wangzhuyuan.

Yuan, who was usually dignified and elegant, now had a sullen look on her face, with flames of anger and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

When he learned that his farm outside the capital had suffered heavy losses from the attacks of refugees, he felt an indescribable rage in his heart.

He clenched his hands tightly, his fingers trembling slightly with anger, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger.

Suddenly, she slammed the table, causing the tea bowl on the table to jump up and then fall heavily to the ground, breaking into sharp pieces of porcelain.

"These refugees are so bold! They even dared to attack my farm and occupy it and refused to leave!" Yuan's voice was filled with anger and resentment, and her chest heaved violently, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Gong quickly stepped forward and gently held Yuan's arm.

He comforted her softly, "Madam, calm down. These refugees are also low-class people. You don't deserve to be so angry. Take care of yourself. We should send someone to the manor to check the situation first, and then find a way to solve it."

After hearing what Nanny Gong said, Yuan calmed down a little, but there was still a gleam of anger in her eyes.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer: "You are right, we can't let anger get to our heads. Send someone to Zhuangzi immediately to find out the situation and then tell me."

Nanny Gong nodded and immediately told the servants to do it.

Shen Ruyan sat at the bottom, not daring to speak.

Only Chu Mingzhu asked absentmindedly: "Mother, there are many refugees outside the city now. It is better to report it to the government office for handling. If someone goes there and something unexpected happens, it will be a loss of both the wife and the army. Look, the manager of the manor doesn't even care about leaving the city gate. It will be useless for the servants to go there. Let's wait and see what the emperor is going to do before we make any decision!"

"Oh, you have good intentions, but you know that the farm is the farm given to you as a dowry. The land and location are both top-notch. These lowly people are occupying it and ruining it. In the future, you won't have any good big farm as a dowry." Yuan was furious as she saw him sitting there with a completely indifferent look on his face.

He glanced at Shen Ruyan again and asked, "How are the other properties in our mansion?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's question, Shen Ruyan was startled at first, and replied in a low voice: "The two manors outside the city were also flooded, but my daughter-in-law had already moved the valuables out of the manors and put them in secret caves in the mountains. It was the manager of the manors who came back in advance to report it. My daughter-in-law didn't take it to heart at the time and just let them do what they wanted. Almost all the shops in the city were closed. Although there was no income, it was still a win because there was no loss."

When Yuan heard her daughter-in-law say this, there was nothing she didn't know.

There is no problem with the property of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but the problem is his own private property.

Yuan looked coldly at Shen Ruyan who was standing below and said, "Yu'er, you are not young anymore. As the legitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion, he still has no legitimate son. As his legal wife, you should also work hard. You have managed the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion well, but don't forget that your main task is to give birth to a legitimate grandson for the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion."

His eyes moved down to Shen Ruyan's slightly bulging belly, and he learned from the doctor that Shen was giving birth to a daughter.

Yuan was still angry and continued, "I see that the medicines for the concubines in Yu'er's room are about to be stopped. You can't let other concubines have children too. You can't let our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion be extinct, right? You are also a girl from a duke's mansion. No matter how many truths there are, you should know them even if I, as your mother-in-law, don't tell you, right?"

Shen Ruyan paused slightly, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes.

However, she also knew that what her mother-in-law said was right, but her tears still rolled down uncontrollably.

"Mother-in-law...I..."

"Mother, it's not that my sister-in-law doesn't want to have a baby. There's nothing wrong with my brother and sister-in-law's health, and they'll have a legitimate son sooner or later. Why are you pushing her so anxiously? Look at what you've pushed my sister-in-law to do. Besides, isn't my brother not yet thirty years old?" Chu Mingzhu was just speechless after hearing Yuan's nonsense.

Seeing Shen Ruyan crying, he stood up for her and said a few seemingly fair words on her behalf.

Little did he know that he would run into Yuan's powder keg.

"Thirty? Do you know that when your father was thirty, he already had one legitimate son and three illegitimate sons? Look at how many children your eldest brother has? What if, when you get married, your husband is thirty and still has no children? Do you think your future mother-in-law will blame you for not being thirty? Don't you see how old your eldest sister-in-law is now? She still thinks she is in her prime. If she doesn't have children in another two years, even if she gets pregnant, she may not be able to give birth to the child she wants. She is not even thirty yet!" Li slapped the table hard.

The aunt and sister-in-law were so frightened that Shen Ruyan cried even harder.

Chu Mingzhu also stood there uneasily, muttering softly: "I know, mother, I was wrong..."

When Yuan heard her little daughter's apology, she did not calm down. Instead, she stared at her little daughter with burning eyes and said, "Tomorrow I will have tea with the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an. You can go with me. Dongxiang will pack your young lady properly tomorrow."

Chu Mingzhu: “…” She looked at the mother in front of her in disbelief.

I wanted to retort, but when I saw my mother's rage, I shut my mouth.

"Yes, madam."

After spring, the sun gradually becomes warmer and brighter, and the season of lush grass and flying birds officially arrives.

The streets are lined with green trees and colorful flowers.

The air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and fresh grass, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The palaces and pavilions in the capital are majestic and magnificent, with red walls and yellow tiles shining brightly in the sun, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

However, He Yuanming's mood was not very good at the moment, because just now in the court, he was assigned to go outside the city to pacify and resettle refugees and victims of disasters.

"Master He, thank you for your hard work! There are many people outside the city. While completing the emperor's mission, you also need to ensure your own safety. Goodbye!"

"Yes, Lord He, you have worked hard. I am not as brave as you. The Crown Prince is still waiting for me to report. I will take my leave first!"

"Master He..."

When He Yuanming saw the backs of several people leaving, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Without exception, those who just passed by him and congratulated him were all from the prince's lineage.

He knew that he was rejected by the prince.

Thinking of the person in his heart, He Yuanming was filled with resentment, but he was helpless now.

He Yuanming took a deep breath, turned around and left the palace, secretly making up his mind to do his best to do this matter well.

He led a team of soldiers to the gathering place of refugees and disaster victims outside the city.

Seeing those ragged and haggard people, the soldiers were organized to distribute food and water, and at the same time arranged to build temporary shelters so that people could have a place to stay first.

In the busy process, He Yuanming forgot about the matters in the Prince's Mansion.

But just because he himself forgot, it doesn’t mean others will forget.
