Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

After the servant left the house, Liu Biyan concealed the pride in her eyes and said, "Grandfather, please don't be angry. You are in good health so that you can be a support for me and the baby in my belly!

These words suddenly made Sheng Bingwen feel proud!

He had been in a good position in the past. At that time, the entire Sheng family was under his wing and everyone was protected by him.

No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, they all burst into tears of gratitude when they saw him!

Even the now mighty general of the Wu State still needed his protection to grow up safely at that time!

Sheng Bingwen believed that as long as he was given time, he would be able to restore the Sheng family's former glory!

"Go back and take good care of yourself. When the account book comes, you can pay some money yourself. Bird's nests are not rare goods. For the sake of the baby in your belly, you should eat more."

"It's okay if we can't invite Doctor Song. When the rain stops, take Xiaozhou's invitation and go to the city to invite the most famous doctor."

After Sheng Bingwen finished speaking, he was breathing heavily. He didn't want Liu Biyan to see that he looked weak, so he waved his hand and signaled them to go back.

Liu Biyan wanted to say something more, but Nanny Wu pulled her sleeve and shook her gently. She had no choice but to say a few more words of concern and then walked out.

"Why are you talking to me?" On the way back, Liu Biyan said unhappily:

"I was just thinking of striking while the iron is hot and talking to my grandfather about moving to the durian garden!"

Aunt Wu quickly said, "Auntie, why not stop while you are ahead? The old master is not in good spirits. If you talk too much, he will definitely get upset. Then he will become suspicious. It will not be worth it. It is better to take it slow."

Liu Biyan pulled a flower from the roadside, plucked off the petals one by one, and said with a drooping mouth:

"Even if I get the account book back, what big deal will it have? Can I make money out of thin air? Only if we live in Liuyuan, Gu Feiwan will have to figure out how to pay for all the expenses, so that I can take good care of my pregnancy!"

"Besides, this child is not mine alone, it is the general's offspring. Gu Feiwan is the mistress, so can she just sit back and watch?"

After saying that, Liu Biyan threw the remaining flowers in her hand to the ground angrily and stomped on them twice.

Nanny Wu took out a handkerchief and wiped Liu Biyan's fingers that were stained red by the flower juice:

"Don't worry, Auntie. In two months, she will be giving birth. By then, we will be unable to help her. We can go and help her in a legitimate way..."

Liu Biyan's eyes lit up: "What a good idea, Madam!"

But then his eyes dimmed: "What should I do during this period? Do I really have to cut back on spending? Even if I am willing, it will be hard to explain to my brother-in-law!"

Hearing this, Nanny Wu gritted her teeth. Chen Bochang was really going too far.

Ever since Liu Biyan married Ning Weizhou, Chen Bochang has been visiting her every few days.

To put it nicely, he came to visit his wife's sister and grandparents. To put it bluntly, he came to extort money!

Fortunately, Gu Feiwan was not around and Sheng Bingwen was seriously ill and bedridden, so sometimes Chen Bochang would just steal something he liked without even saying a word!

In just over two months, Nanny Wu roughly estimated that Chen Bochang had embezzled at least a thousand taels of silver!

There is a shortage of silver in the government office now, and Chen Bochang is the culprit!

"Auntie, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"You watched me grow up, so just say it if you have something to say."

The master and servant walked forward. Nanny Wu looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around. Then she whispered:

"Auntie, you should know that you are marrying the Ning family in the capital, the current general Ning Weizhou. To be frank, what does the old master of the Sheng family count for? He is just a relative from outside the family! The Chen family is even less important. Auntie, you must make up your mind and don't anger the general for an irrelevant person!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Biyan slowed down her pace involuntarily: "Mammy, you mean..."

Seeing that Liu Biyan didn't get angry, Nanny Wu plucked up the courage to say, "Auntie, the general is in a high position and has great power. When he goes to the capital in the future, there is no guarantee that there will be no new people entering the mansion. If you have a grudge against him now, your life in the capital will be difficult!"

"But, my brother-in-law said that as long as I get Qiuyuezui's lead, even if I don't go to the capital, I can still be very rich if I stay in Wuzhou!" Liu Biyan was very hesitant.

Aunt Wu said anxiously: "Auntie, you are confused. Who do you rely on for your wealth and status? Is it the Chen family? If you are disliked by the general, will the Chen family still take you seriously? When Qiuyue is drunk, will he still think of you? I am afraid he will kick you away!"

Liu Biyan screamed!

It was an instant enlightenment!

That's right! Without Ning Weizhou as a backer, how could she compete with Chen Bochang? Could it be relying on human conscience?

Even if she became stupid from studying, she knew that conscience was the most unreliable!

"Thanks to the reminder, Madam, otherwise I would have gone astray!" Liu Biyan touched her forehead and wiped away the cold sweat.

"Don't be alarmed, Auntie. Your wealth is still to come! As long as you take care of your pregnancy and give birth to a child for the general, and make the old master happy, how can you give Qiuyuezui's lead to others? By then, you will have the general behind you and a way to make money. You can live your life the way you want."

"What should I do if my brother-in-law comes to urge me again?" Liu Biyan had great trust in Chen Bochang, but after hearing what Nanny Wu said, she felt that she had been tricked and became annoyed with Chen Bochang.

"Don't worry, Auntie. You said that the fetus is not stable yet and you need to stay indoors to take care of it. The old master also knows that you are not feeling well. Even if Chen Bochang wants to make a fuss, the old master won't let him disturb you!"

"Okay, then we'll close the door and refuse visitors until we get the account book, and then go over to help when Gu Feiwan gives birth!"

Having an account book is equivalent to having the authority to manage household affairs.

When Gu Feiwan was giving birth, she went to Liuyuan to help. If she accidentally had a miscarriage, she could stay there to recuperate. This not only earned her a good reputation, but also allowed her to stay in Liuyuan naturally!

After the master and servant discussed the idea, they immediately felt that everything was ready, except for the east wind!

After two days, the rain finally stopped completely!

There were disaster victims lying everywhere in the suburbs. Their houses were destroyed, their fields were submerged, and all the belongings they had accumulated over half a lifetime were swept away by the flood!

"The imperial court sent a disaster relief inspector half a month ago. He should arrive in Anping in another half a month. By then, the disaster relief grain will be in place and the people will be able to have enough food to eat."

At night, Ning Weizhou jumped through the window again to see Gu Feiwan.

Gu Feiwan laid out a table full of account books, pointed at one of them and said, "Gu's rice store still has this much inventory. Manager Huang and I have discussed that it would be better to hand it over to the government to distribute to the disaster victims. This will prevent people from plotting behind the scenes, and it will also allow the people to wait for the relief grain from the court."

"It's just that the government offices in Wuzhou and even the entire Jiangnan area are all related to Sheng Yanhua. I'm afraid that by then all the food will be put into Sheng Yanhua's private warehouse! I don't know how many people will starve to death by then!"

"Now that you are in Jiangnan, you might be impeached in the impeachment memorial!"
