The old lady of the West Mansion also thought so. She felt that Qin Chen was a sickly person and might not be able to give birth to a healthy child in this life.

Who knows, the Qinhou Mansion might have to rely on them for help in the future.

People like Old Madam Qin and Lady Qin would never agree to let a bastard inherit the family business.

Still, they have to be of the legitimate lineage.

"We're waiting for the day when you beg us for help." The old lady from the West Mansion said this angrily and walked outside.

Madam Qinhou looked at Gu Zhao with a smile and said.

"Zhao'er, that's a good remark. If anyone tells you to give birth in a timely manner, don't give them face. And don't think of using your status as an elder to say irresponsible things in front of you..."

Madam Qin Hou had experienced all of this. When she first married into the Qin Hou Mansion, she thought that the new daughter-in-law should be gentle. Unexpectedly, some elders were shameless and took advantage of her, pointing fingers and lecturing her in various ways.

Later she showed her power once, and everything became much quieter after that.

She had heard that her daughter-in-law was timid and fearful, and she was a little worried. But these days, her daughter-in-law seemed to have changed. She was no longer as timid and cowardly as before.

Old Madam Qin also smiled and said.

"Grandmother thinks you are right, Zhao'er. It's just a concubine's pregnancy. It's not a good thing for them to come here and show off in such a big way."

Old Madam Qin really thought so.

In the aristocratic families, those who have a little bit of discipline will let the wife have children first, and will not allow concubines to get pregnant before the wife has a legitimate eldest son.

But in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, the wife was punished to the temple twice, but the concubine got pregnant first. Not only did they not hide it, but they also made it so public that everyone knew about it.

If the news got out, it would be a loss of face and reputation for the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. At that time, those noble families would not think of marrying into the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, fearing that such an in-law would hold them back.

In their house, because the father-in-law and his family had arranged a marriage for Chen'er before, they had not met with other families in these years. Even though the ladies in the palace had expressed their intentions, none of them had any intentions.

The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion had set its sights on many families over the years, but those families did not fancy them.

And Minister Gu has been climbing up the ladder step by step over the years, so the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion accepted this marriage.

But in fact, if Minister Gu’s two daughters want to marry into a better family than the Ningyuan Marquis’s Mansion, they can do so.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Gu Zhao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, grandmother and mother. Zhao'er will not let himself be wronged."

If it was Princess Anyang or someone else, she would have endured the grievance, but she would not tolerate the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the West Mansion.

Qin Ye went to the food restaurant for a dinner party, where he met Prince Yu, cousins ​​from the Duan family, and other young masters from other families.

In the past, when Qin Ye met them, he always stood aside, but now, everyone was much more enthusiastic towards Qin Ye than usual.

"The Prince of Ningyuan is here."

"Hello, Prince Ningyuan. It's not easy to meet you."

"Among us, the one I envy the most is the Prince of Ningyuan, who married the daughter of the Minister and took his cousin as a concubine..."

Qin Ye was talking to everyone with a smile.

Not far away, Xie Yan saw Qin Ye and others. He knew that this was Gu Zhao's brother-in-law. In fact, according to the rules, the aunt was the legitimate wife of Minister Gu, and Zhu was the successor. They and Qin Ye were also relatives.
