Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

The second wife was naturally unhappy, but the first wife was also watching.

During her confinement period, Xu was not idle. She was keeping an eye on the scale of the banquet. She wanted the full moon banquet to be of this scale to be satisfactory.

Originally, because the banquet for the second house was postponed, she felt that the limelight of the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion was stolen. She was very unhappy about it and gossiped about it openly and secretly.

Naturally, he was concentrating on what was happening in the second room and blaming Bo Jinxiu.

"He did everything and got a fourth-rank official position. What about you? You risked your life, ran around, but got nothing in return!"

There was no need for Bo Jinxiu to listen to Xu's words. He was already furious and resigned from his job in the government office in a fit of anger. He then returned to his previous life of luxury and enjoyment.

Xu originally wanted Bo Jinxiu to make more progress after becoming a father, but he ended up regressing instead. She was very unhappy with him and the Jianjia Pavilion was filled with complaints.

The old lady loved her grandson very much and called Bo Jinxiu to teach him a lesson several times, but Bo Jinxiu always had something to say.

"Old Lady, please ask Third Brother how many things I helped do, and what were the results?"

Shen Yiran happened to come to Jingxin Hall to deliver the account books. After hearing Bo Jinxiu's complaints, he felt it was not appropriate to go in. He took advantage of the quietness in the room and pretended not to know anything and walked in.

Bo Jinzheng was sitting sideways with his legs crossed and sulking. When he saw Shen Yiran coming, he became even more angry and stood up to leave.

Shen Yiran immediately bowed and said, "My elder brother did a lot for the safety of the Marquis' Mansion the other day. The old lady was very happy and said that if it weren't for my elder brother, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Why are you unhappy, elder brother?"

After hearing this, Bo Jinxiu lowered his buttocks again, and said with a half-smile, "Let's just say, where is justice! The people who deserved the reward didn't get it, while the people who did nothing got a huge reward!"

Shen Yiran smiled faintly and said, "This is also a reward from His Majesty. Didn't the Marquis get nothing?"

Bo Jinxiu heard this and snorted coldly: "That's just my third brother. If it were me, I would not agree to this reward from His Majesty!"

"How dare you! How can you say such nonsense!"

The old lady scolded him harshly, then changed to a gentle tone: "You are a father now. With your ability to handle affairs, if you work hard in the government, are you afraid that you will not be promoted one day? Why do you have to resign and be angry?"

Bo Jinxiu crossed his legs again and said very arrogantly: "If I am willing to work, I can naturally be promoted, but I am not a mediocre person who will do anything if given a chance!"

After saying this, he ignored the old lady and walked away.

Shen Yiran immediately stepped forward and said a few words to comfort him.

The old lady shook her head and said, "It's not his fault that he's angry about this. Never mind, let's talk about it later."

Shen Yiran told Bo Jinnian about this that night.

"I thought the first wife would be very happy and satisfied to have a grandson, so I only gave the second wife some benefits to balance it out. Who knew they would be so dissatisfied?"

Bo Jinnian lay flat on the pillow, staring at the gauze curtains on the bed, feeling very tired of such topics.

"It's hard for an honest judge to settle family disputes. You've worked hard, Ranran."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran turned his head to look at Bo Jinnian's profile. Even so, he could tell that he was frowning.

"In fact, I think it would be better for my elder brother not to be an official. Why don't I go and discuss with the old lady and let him manage the manor."

"Aren't you hitting a dog with a meat bun?"

Shen Yiran found this analogy very apt and couldn't help but cover his face with his handkerchief and laughed.

Bo Jinnian also found it very ridiculous. He sighed and said with a smile: "Forget it. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world. Forget it!"

Shen Yiran heard this and knew that Bo Jinnian didn't want to continue talking, so he changed the subject.

"I want to bring the two children back home. After all, there are more people in the family, and it's time for them to come back and visit."

"That's right. You arrange it."

The next day, Shen Yiran ordered someone to bring Ji Sicheng and Ji Siyue back.

The two children have grown up a little, and they have changed a lot since then.

Ji Sicheng has more and more the temperament of a young master. When he walks on the street, girls will glance at him sideways.

Ji Siyue, however, is a chivalrous man with generous and unrestrained actions. He speaks and acts decisively without hesitation. He is very free and easy, and there are many young men who admire him.

When they returned home, they were immediately praised and loved by the old lady and the three ladies. They all said that the child was getting better and better.

Ji Sicheng and Ji Siyue were also very happy to be back, and followed Shen Yiran to the Jianjia Pavilion to see the sleeping child.

Ji Siyue was very curious and lay beside the cradle to watch.

Xu smiled deliberately and said, "The eldest grandson of the Marquis's mansion has been born for so many days, but he still hasn't been named. I see that you, Ji Sicheng, have read a lot of books, so why don't you give him a name?"

Shen Yiran understood the implication of the words, which was just to remind the two children that they were not members of the real marquis' mansion, and he also set a trap for Ji Sicheng to fall into.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ji Sicheng stand up and said very respectfully: "My body and hair are given by my parents, so the name that represents my life should naturally be given by my elders and parents. I dare not and should not name my little brother."

Ji Siyue laughed and said, "Uncle is such a great man, how could he not even come up with a name? I think it's because Auntie has high expectations and is not satisfied!"

After hearing this, Shen Yiran just sat there quietly and smiled.

Hearing this, Xu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of the Marquis' Mansion. This status is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Naturally, he must be good at everything to show the nobility of our Marquis' Mansion."

Ji Siyue immediately interrupted, "Yes, my brother must be good in everything, so you can't just pick a name casually. In my opinion, it's better to go to Mount Tai to pray, draw lots, and choose a name seriously!"

Shen Yiran felt so sharp after hearing these words that he couldn't express it in words. He pretended to be indifferent and turned around to instruct the maid.

Xu was really furious when she heard this: "What a sharp-tongued girl! I thought you were being more and more lawless these days when you were out there, and now you come back and talk back to me!"

Shen Yiran then smiled and said casually: "Sister-in-law, you are too worried. The children are lively and like to talk. You can't just say a few more words and confront them."

"Besides, she is also seriously trying to help the eldest sister-in-law find a solution. Children's words are innocent, so why should the eldest sister-in-law take it seriously?"

Xu was not willing to give in to being accused of being stingy, and immediately leaned back on the cushions: "I think she is not young anymore, it is time to start getting engaged, otherwise she will not be able to find a husband when she grows up and she will not look presentable."

When Ji Siyue heard this, he stood up immediately, his face full of shame and anger. He didn't know what to say, but he was unwilling to keep silent and swallow his anger.

Ji Sicheng stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "It is the proper etiquette for a girl to get married after she reaches the age of marriage. Besides, there is no need for you to worry about it, aunt. If you have such an idea, why not arrange it for me first?"
