In the separate courtyard of the Ningyuan Marquis’s mansion.

Gu Rong was extremely upset. After Qin Ye reported to the military camp, he only sent his personal attendant back to deliver a message, saying that he was very busy these days and would come back to see her when he had a day off.

She didn't expect that after arriving in Jiangnan, she wouldn't know how many days she would have to wait before meeting Qin Ye.

Since Qin Ye was not in the house, Mrs. Zhou and the two daughters of the Zhou family temporarily gave up the idea, but they became more flattering towards Gu Rong.

"Madam, do you have any instructions?"

When Gu Rong heard what Mrs. Zhou said and looked at her flattering eyes, she said coldly.

"If my wife has any instructions, I will send someone to inform you."

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Mrs. Zhou immediately lowered her head and pretended to be obedient.

"The slaves obey."

Gu Rong ignored Mrs. Zhou and talked about his son with Mian'er.

"Mian'er, do you think Yun'er will cry and make a fuss if he doesn't see me, his mother, at home?"

"Madam, the young master is a smart child. He knows that you came to Jiangnan for a reason, so he will definitely not cry..."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

This prince's wife actually has a son? Wouldn't that mean her and her daughters' plans would be ruined?

How could this be?

She had heard about the prince getting married before, but she didn't expect that he would have a little master so soon, and he was born to his wife. He would be the eldest grandson, so wouldn't the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion be inherited by the little master in the future?

Even if her daughter gave birth to another child, it would be the second young master...

However, the child must be young now, maybe only one year old, and there is still a lot of time when he grows up. Maybe someone will target the young master...

She had heard about the various struggles among the many aristocratic families in Suzhou. Some children died at birth, some died suddenly of illness after a few years, and some...

She comforted herself in her heart that her daughter was so beautiful that she would definitely catch the prince's eye and would become the most favored concubine.

The more she thought about it, the happier Mrs. Zhou felt. She was looking forward to this happening. Now in the mansion, her husband was the housekeeper and she was the nanny. Although most of the people were brought here by the prince and his wife, the original maids and old women in the mansion listened to her very much.

Gu Rong saw Mrs. Zhou standing there with her head down, so she asked.

"Are you familiar with the maids in the residences of Governor Jiang and Lord Fan?"

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Mrs. Zhou responded immediately.

"Madam, you are asking the right person. Over the years, I have had some friendships with the maids in these mansions..."

Hearing Mrs. Zhou's boasting, Gu Rong glanced at her indifferently and asked some questions.

Mrs. Zhou answered immediately.

I heard that Governor Jiang and Lord Fan valued their original wives very much, but they also doted on their concubines, and Mother Zhou also told me some other news.

Gu Rong's impression of Mrs. Zhou changed a little.

"Mian'er, reward her one or two ounces of silver."

"Thank you, Madam Prince."

When Mrs. Zhou heard the Crown Prince's wife say that she would reward her with one or two taels of silver, she was extremely happy.

Although the head of the family was the housekeeper, his monthly salary was only one tael of silver, and she only had two hundred coins a month. The two daughters now had no monthly salary. Of course, the two daughters had not signed a contract to sell themselves.
