After being able to read minds, the male protagonist can no longer hide his love brain

The third wife couldn't bear to see her child influenced by her.

She should thank the King of Ying for coming here, which completely eliminated all possibilities of her going back to her husband.

"What happened to Aunt Yuan?" Jiang Ruohua kept writing, and said casually, "Is she sick? Or what?"

This Aunt Yuan was from the third room, and gave birth to a concubine daughter for her third uncle, named Jiang Ruoqi. The concubines of the third room were not like flowing water, but also like dripping water. If one died today, where would another one come from tomorrow? Her third uncle had many women, and the third wife seemed generous to let him take them in one by one, but none of them gave birth to a concubine son for him.

The Daqi Dynasty had a rule that only if there was no legitimate son in the family, or the legitimate son was stupid and sick, and could not bear the burden of the family business, could the illegitimate son be selected as the heir. The third wife was very clear-minded, and it was also because her legitimate son was weak in the womb, and he had been taking medicine like water for these years. The third wife was afraid that her husband would inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future, but her son would give way to the illegitimate son.

"Pregnant." Huachan said two words, and Jiang Ruhua immediately understood why Aunt Yuan died without saying a word in the dream.

Aunt Yuan was pregnant, and it was probably a boy.

"Did the Third Madam know?" Jiang Ruhua asked.

"I left quickly, so she shouldn't have known yet." Huachan said, "When I took the doctor there, Aunt Yuan looked obviously not right. She was pregnant with the Third Master's child, which should have been a happy thing."

"It's a happy thing if it's born, and it's bad luck if it's not." No one would blame or ask if it was because of poor service, or if the child was weak, or if the aunt was lowly. If she couldn't give birth to a child, they would only blame the aunt for being useless, bad luck, and not having the blessing to bear the master's child. Such words are common in the Duke's Mansion, especially in the Third House.

It is also the reality of the rich and magnificent family.

"This is a good thing." Jiang Ruohua thought for a while, "She wants to hide it, how can she hide it?" Huachan said: "Miss, you mean that Aunt Yuan doesn't want people to know that she is pregnant? But I saw it clearly at that time. The medicine bag that the little girl dropped on the ground was mostly tonic." It doesn't look like she doesn't want this child. "It's not that I don't want this child." Jiang Ruohua's hands were a little sore, so he put down the pen and rubbed his wrists gently, "I just want to keep it a secret for a while and not let the third wife know. Aunt's status is humble, but if she can give birth to a son, she can be happier in her later years. It's just that the third wife's legitimate son is weak, and the third wife will never let Aunt give birth to a bastard to threaten her son." "I understand." Huachan nodded, "Miss, do you want to do Aunt Yuan a favor?" "She can't do anything. The third wife is also from a famous family. Aunt Yuan is a woman with no background. It is impossible for Yi's concubine to replace the Third Madam. "Even if the Third Madam died, the Third House would only welcome a new mistress, and would never let a concubine with no foundation and low birth become the wife. In essence, nothing Aunt Yuan could do could solve her lifelong misery. Even if she really did what she planned and took the risk of giving birth to a son without telling the Third Madam, he might not grow up safely. Besides, he had to be promising to make her life easier. Bastards could not inherit the family business. Under the constant suppression of the Third Madam, how could it be so easy to become a talent on his own?

However, who said that some things are better to do on the right day than on the right day? Jiang Ruohua stretched lazily: "It's not a favor. If Aunt Yuan is smart, she should know that I can't help her give birth to a child for nothing."

She didn't expect Aunt Yuan to do anything. After all, she was just a concubine, but once the boy in her belly was born, it would distract the Third Madam's energy. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to do many things at the same time and do everything well.

"Let's prepare some supplements. We'll go again tomorrow when the news spreads." Jiang Ruohua was not in a hurry. Even if she knew that Aunt Yuan was pregnant, the Third Lady would not take action immediately.

"For now." She lowered her head and sighed, "We still have to finish copying the scriptures first..."

She didn't like copying books, just like military generals never like civil officials who speak in a literary way.

But there was no way. After waking up from a big dream and knowing how serious it was, she had to calm herself down and learn a lesson. People always have to grow up.

"I will help you grind the ink." Yinqiu smiled, "You are much calmer than before. In the past, you were unwilling to do it when the teacher punished you to copy books."

"Now you are unwilling, but there is nothing you can do." Jiang Ruohua smiled and joked with the two maids, "I understand now. I always felt that something was wrong with my life, but I couldn't put it into words."

"... After all, the third lady is not your biological mother." Yinqiu slowly ground the ink and couldn't help saying, "If the lady was still here, maybe you wouldn't have to suffer these grievances."

Thinking of the day when the lady beat the King of Ying and broke off the engagement When Yinqiu heard what the Third Lady said, she realized what the Third Lady was like. The Third Lady and the Prince of Ying were not good people. Poor Miss almost...

"Miss, you said before that the Third House wanted the prosperity and wealth of the entire Duke's Mansion, but if that's the case, why would they target you like this? The Madam died early, and the General never took a concubine. I am presumptuous to say this. In my opinion, the Duke's Mansion will eventually fall into the hands of the Third House, right?"

Yes, even the little maid saw it clearly, but she was kept so well hidden in the dream. Thinking of this, Jiang Ruohua gritted her teeth slightly.

"Desire will be infinitely magnified." Jiang Ruohua raised his eyes, "Once you get a little, you want more. I always feel that the next one is close at hand, and I always feel that the next one will definitely be obtained. The Duke's family has a great cause. Da, why are you willing to wait for my father for another hundred years when you are here?"

The third wife was too greedy. Jiang Ruohua picked up the tea cup and took a sip before slowly saying: "Besides, my mother comes from an imperial merchant family. Her dowry is rich, but the third wife can't touch it. As long as I get married, it will be all." Will be taken away by me as is."

Why doesn’t the third lady like this? Officials in the high-ranking families in Beijing may not necessarily be rich, but the royal merchants must be wealthy and powerful. Nearly half of the treasures of the Duke's palace come from his mother's dowry.

Seeing the surprise of the two girls, Jiang Ruohua softened his expression: "You two, guess why the third lady used such treacherous methods to make me lose face in front of King Ying?"

"In order to prevent the young lady from marrying well?" Hua Chan frowned, "But King Ying is not a good match. What's wrong with the young lady? He doesn't like it, and he has no reason to treat the young lady like this. How can everyone in this world still do it? They all look like him?"

"Yes, the slaves are literate like the young lady, and they still understand the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences. The character of King Ying is really nothing more than this." Yin Qiu also agreed.
