In a blink of an eye, a month had passed since Mo Qianhan came to propose marriage.

It is the height of summer in June, and the capital city has become a bit hotter than before these days.

In the prime minister's residence, as the death of Zhu was kept secret, all matters were handled quietly in private.

Although it has not been made public, the news about these things is naturally known to the people in the capital.

However, when it comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one from outside dares to make any irresponsible remarks. After all, the Prime Minister's wife, Zhu, is indeed dead.

The death was kept secret and no funeral rites were performed. Zhu was a concubine who was promoted to the main wife, and in name only, she was the legal wife. However, the funeral was handled in private, so she did not get what a legal wife should have.

The so-called rules of mourning have also been abolished.

If they really had to follow the rules, Su Xuan would not have been able to get married smoothly at that time. As for the subsequent matters concerning the children of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would have to wait until the three-year mourning period was over.

It's a pity that Zhu's death was for the sake of saving the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many things were covered up, so naturally those influences would not exist.

More than a month has passed, and there is a lot of turmoil in the capital. The things that were previously discussed will eventually be overshadowed by what happens later.

Nowadays, all the affairs in the prime minister's mansion are managed by concubine Liu, and everything is in order. The era when Zhu was in charge of the prime minister's mansion has become a thing of the past.

Aunt Liu is close to Su Huan and follows Su Huan's lead in everything.

That day, early in the morning.

Aunt Liu came over to Lan Yuexuan.

After Su Huan finished her breakfast, she looked at the person who appeared before her and said, "Madam Liu doesn't have to come to pay her respects to me every day."

Liu smiled and said, "I am where I am today because of your grace, Miss. Although I now hold the power of housekeeper, I know that without Miss, I would never have the position I have today."

Su Huan: "Just understand it in your heart. Since the prime minister's mansion and the backyard are under your management, just do your job well and don't think too much about the rest."

Liu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss. The Prime Minister's Mansion is now under my control. Everything inside and outside can be checked. Don't worry, Miss."

Su Huan: "By the way, I remember there was a concubine named Han, how is she doing?"

Liu: "Miss, Aunt Han used to be with Zhu, but she was timid and cowardly. She never did anything to stir up trouble. After Zhu died, she stayed in her courtyard all day and didn't go out, for fear of making mistakes. Miss, don't worry about it. If you think..."

Su Huan: "No need, since it has no impact, there is no need to pay attention to it. Just let her stay in her own yard. But if there are any bad signs..."

Liu immediately said, "Miss, I understand. If there is, I will definitely kill it myself."

Su Hua nodded, "Very good."

Then, Su Huan continued, "Speaking of which, Zhu has been dead for more than a month. The Prime Minister's Mansion should have a proper mistress to act in public. You are very good. That position will belong to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu stood up immediately and knelt down, "Thank you for your support, Miss. I will keep it in mind and will definitely not let you down."

Su Huan: "Okay, just sit down and talk."

Liu stood up, sat down again, and continued: "Miss, but Su Yi and Su Xu are both in the mansion now, and Su Xuan has become the Princess of Jing. After all, Zhu died not long ago, so let the master..."

Su Huan sneered and said, "Su Xuan is already married, how can she still care about her own family's affairs? Moreover, my father is the only one who needs to give the order, how can Su Xuan interfere? As for Su Yi and Su Xu, they think that they are the legitimate sons of the mansion and their status is unshakable. They are too self-righteous."

Liu was a little confused.

Su Huan looked at Liu and said in a serious tone, "How is Madam Liu doing recently? After taking the medicine I gave you, your body is in good condition, right?"

Liu understood immediately and said, "Yes, the medicine that the eldest lady gave me is very effective. However, pregnancy is not something that can be achieved just by saying it. This matter..."

Su Huan: "Don't worry, you are in good health now, there will be no problem. If you want to have your own child, it will definitely come true. Stretch out your hand, I will feel your pulse."

Liu did as she was told.

Su Huan took Liu's pulse and examined it carefully. "Madam Liu, didn't you ask the palace doctor to check your pulse during this period?"

Liu shook her head. "I have been busy recently. I have followed your instructions and taken the medicine you gave me. I feel very well after taking the medicine. I am too lazy to ask the palace doctor to come and see me."

Su Huan: "How often does my father visit your courtyard?"

When Liu talked about this topic with Su Hua, she was somewhat embarrassed. No matter what, even if the eldest daughter's marriage was settled, she would get married soon. But it was difficult to talk about this topic with a girl like the eldest daughter. Even though the eldest daughter had treated her and taken care of her body before, she would still talk about it, but...

Su Hua: "There are no outsiders here. As women, is there any need to hide?"

Liu: "Ever since I got those wonderful things from you, my lady, the Prime Minister has been very dependent on me. Unless the Prime Minister is very busy with official business, he will stay in Qingsong Courtyard directly. Otherwise, he basically comes to my courtyard."

Su Huan: "Don't you feel that you have a poor appetite and are prone to drowsiness during this period?"

Liu thought, "It's not summer, so my appetite is bound to be poor. People are bound to feel a little lazy in summer. Could it be..."

After all, Liu had been pregnant twice before. Even if she failed to keep the baby due to some other reasons, she had some experience. When she heard this, she would think in that direction.

Seeing that Liu had figured it out herself, Su Huan withdrew her hand from feeling Liu's pulse and said, "Madam Liu, you are already one month pregnant."

Liu herself had thought of this, but she was truly happy when she heard the eldest lady say it with her own ears, "Eldest lady, I... I have my own child, this time..."

Su Huan: "You will definitely be able to give birth to your child smoothly this time. I promised you that I would be able to protect you and your child."

Liu knelt down again, "Thank you very much, Miss."

Yunshuang, who was standing nearby, saw her young lady's gesture and hurried forward to help Liu up.

Su Huan said slowly, "From now on, you have to be more careful about your diet and everything else."

Liu: "I understand."

Su Huan: "Your pregnancy came just in time. With this baby, it's easier to arrange some things."

Liu was not stupid either, and she understood what the eldest lady meant. With this child, it would be appropriate for the prime minister to make her his legal wife.
