Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 5

After all, Zi Yan is the little maid who grew up in front of her, and the servants of the He Mansion's affection for her is not comparable to that of Xiao En Xiaohui, the first lady who has just arrived!
Mother Zhao, the mother-in-law in charge, stood not far away and gestured to Mrs. He's belly, signaling her not to forget Ziyan's pregnancy month.

Seeing this, Mrs. He frowned and said to Liu Yuzhi, "I'm afraid it's too late. That girl Zi Yan is already six months pregnant, so I can't wait." If it's a daughter, it doesn't matter if it's a master or a servant. If it's a boy, the eldest son of a concubine, alas, it's a bit troublesome...

Already six months pregnant?Doesn't this mean that when her newly married husband-in-law had sex with her, he still had an affair with that lowly maid?
Liu Yuzhi wrung the blue embroidered handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head slightly, and after a while forced a smile on her face and said, "My daughter-in-law is at the mercy of her mother-in-law." If she doesn't want to lose the favor of her mother-in-law and husband-in-law, she must give in.As for the lowly maid falling into her hands...

"When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous one. Yuzhi, your virtuous and filial mother-in-law is always in my heart."

Mrs. He nodded, turned her face and said, "Guixiang, go to my room and get the red gold ruby ​​buckle bracelet, it's in the third layer of the second jewelry box."

Her personal maid, Gui Xiang, quickly answered "Yes" and went to the back room to get the bracelet.

"How about in half a month?" Mrs. He asked kindly, with a kind face on her face, but there was no refusal hidden in her tone.Her son doted on Ziyan, and after marrying his wife, he allowed Ziyan to have a concubine, but she didn't expect that Ziyan got pregnant first, so who can blame her?Blame the daughter-in-law for not living up to her stomach!

"Okay." Liu Yuzhi lowered her eyes obediently, and nodded slightly after hearing this.

Chunxi, who lowered her head slightly, looked at it calmly, and thought to herself: The old lady will say later that the bracelet was given by the queen, and she is too old to wear it, and the young lady is just right.

After a while, Guixiang came out with a red cloth bag, and handed it carefully to Mrs. He.

Mrs. He took the red cloth bag and called slowly, and said pleasantly: "Yuzhi, this was given to me by the current empress 17 years ago. I am old, and I have not worn this style of bracelet for a long time. You are young. It really fits." She now wears all kinds of jade bracelets.

From the queen?In order to appease the grievance in her heart, the mother-in-law still spent some money.

"Mother-in-law, this is given to you by the current empress, how dare your daughter-in-law wear it?" Liu Yuzhi hurriedly said.Most of the rewards in the palace can only be offered by ordinary people, and if they are used, they are presumptuous.

"It doesn't matter, this is a gift given by the empress to a high-ranking court lady. It only has the mark of the Royal Clothes Bureau, and there is no special mark of the royal family. Come, you keep it, and it can be used as a family heirloom for your daughter-in-law in the future." Mrs. He kindly said Said.It's nothing more than gold, rich and noble families will have some, those few rubies the size of the fingernails are top-notch and pure, and more importantly, this bracelet is exquisite in style and exquisite in workmanship, from the hands of palace craftsmen.

"The mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law so much, but the daughter-in-law is disrespectful." Liu Yuzhi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and bowed to accept it.

Mrs. He rewrapped the two red gold and ruby ​​buckle bracelets and handed them to Liu Yuzhi.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Liu Yuzhi got up to say goodbye, saying that she was going to the garden for a walk.

Mrs. He knew that she must be very unhappy at the moment, so she said very understandingly: "Go."

Every woman who becomes an official wife has a time or two like this.In fact, it's nothing, because the main wife is the hostess, and the concubine will always be inferior to her. Apart from inheriting some of the father's money, as long as the main wife has a son, nothing else can be seized.

According to the law of this dynasty, if the principal wife only gave birth to a daughter, the dowry of the principal wife can only be inherited by her legitimate daughter; half point!

In the garden, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and from a distance, the pink and white clouds that look like the sky are falling to the ground.The faint fragrance of peach blossoms filled the garden, and butterflies danced in pairs, people fully felt the magic of the prosperity of all things in spring.

Liu Yuzhi stood under a luxuriant peach blossom tree, looking at the peach blossom in front of her with cold eyes.A few days ago, she and her husband-in-law went to the peach blossom forest, and the husband-in-law said that people are more delicate than flowers; only today did she realize that her husband-in-law had already kept two or three peach blossoms in a vase.

She was born in a family of officials and officials, her grandfather, uncle, and father all took concubines, and she had several servant girls. She knew that her husband and son-in-law must have servant girls, and would take concubines sooner or later, but she never imagined that she had only been married for a year , the husband's family was eager to give her husband a concubine, and did not respect her at all, and the concubine was pregnant with Liujia, and her husband was about to have an eldest son.Her husband's eldest son was not born to her, so what's the face of her?
"Chunli Chunxi, what should I do?" She asked absentmindedly, and rarely sought comfort from her dowry maid.In this mansion, apart from her nanny and two personal maids, she only has two daughter-in-laws who help manage the dowry.

"Miss, you are the main wife, the hostess, and the concubine will serve you, and the child will still be yours." Chun Li encouraged her.In the magistrate's mansion, the young lady's mother and the magistrate's wife governed the three aunts and the concubine's young masters and ladies so obediently.

"Miss, I don't know, I would like to listen to Miss's orders." Chunxi said calmly.

Liu Yuzhi looked back at them and said angrily, "You two idiots can't share Master's worries at all!"
