Chapter VI. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (II)

　　Seeing Mudan's cautious appearance, Mrs. Qi changed her smile again and probed her hand to hold Mudan's hand, "Don't blame me for being harsh on you, I'm doing this for your own good. The situation of our family is different from your mother's family, sooner or later you will have to be the head of the family in the future, and only then will you realize how difficult it is!" 　　If it was the Peony of the past, when she heard that the Liu family and the He family were different, her face would have been extremely ugly, but at the moment, Peony seemed as if she didn't understand, and only lowered her eyebrows and hung her head, saying, "It's all because of my daughter-in-law's bad behavior, and I asked my mother to work hard." 　　"This is all fate, what can be done." Mrs. Qi sighed a break, then said: "I heard that Yutong is pregnant, you have to be more open-minded." She had also heard that Yutong had left Peony's yard in the middle of the afternoon crying, although she did not know the reason, but thinking about it, she was probably angry with Peony and cried like that. 　　Peony lowered her eyes and said: ''Daughter-in-law came here precisely for this matter. I want to beg mother to give her an additional attendant and adjust the monthly routine upwards, so that she won't be depressed and not be conducive to nourishing the fetus." 　　Mrs. Qi also did not care to care about the two of her who is right or wrong, as long as there is no big mess will be happy to pretend to be dizzy: "This is also should be, you see who to send to serve her better? She is from your place, and the people around you are about to be closer." 　　It was only right that Mrs. Qi would not be comfortable with her own people serving Yutong, what did she mean by saying this on purpose? Peony frowned and said, "Daughter-in-law doesn't have many people to serve around her, mother Lin and Yu He can't be left alone, the other two little maids, one with a violent temperament and the other clueless and unaware of things, are both unsuitable. Please ask mother to make other arrangements." 　　Mrs. Qi took her eyes and looked, only to see Peony's long eyelashes trembling slightly, how she looked was pathetic. This daughter-in-law, who was from a merchant family and was sickly, and had not acted generously before, not to mention that Liu Chang didn't like it, even she didn't like it, but now she was much more understanding than before. It's a pity that a grass chicken is a grass chicken and can't be a phoenix even if it flies to the branch. 　　Peony waited for a long time and could not answer her, and shouted inquiringly, "Mother?" 　　Mrs. Qi drank a mouthful of herbal tea and sighed wanly: "That's fine, I'll give her another stable maid, and then that sister-in-law Wei by her side will follow her, so it's almost done. The monthly fee, she used to follow you is two taels of silver, now adjusted to three taels of silver, other to give birth to a child and then say. What do you think?" 　　Peony was fine as long as she could cope with it, so where would she have any opinions? At that moment, she got up and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know anything about this, mother will decide." 　　Her careful and respectful attitude made Mrs. Qi feel better, but she said, "Don't be so tired of thanking your own family. You quickly recuperate your body, hurry to give me a full grandson out is the biggest thank you to me." 　　A first grandson, my ass! Peony was so annoyed that it was easy to hold back and squeeze out a dry smile. 　　Biwu walked in with the newly awakened Qi'er in her arms, and smiled cheerfully, "Madam, please persuade the young lady, she was upset about this when the servant girl came with her earlier." 　　These words seemed to confirm the rumor that Peony had made Yutong cry out of jealousy during lunch. Mrs. Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at Peony, who did not retort and only looked at the green stone floor tiles with her eyes downcast. In any case, except for Liu Chang and Yu He, Yu Tong and Lin Mama by her side, Mrs. Qi and the others don't know that Liu Chang has not yet consummated their relationship with her, and only know that Liu Chang seldom goes to her room, and every time he does, he leaves in a hurry, so how can she give birth to a child? As a young lady of the Liu family, she is sad is normal, not sad is not normal. 　　Mrs. Qi was silent for a moment, said: "Know the emergency is good, tomorrow I will let the master down the invitation to go to ask Zhu doctor to come to give you a prescription. After toning up your body, naturally what should be there will be there." These words made it clear that whether Liu Chang liked it or not, she would help Peony give birth to her first son. 　　Peony was shocked, but she didn't dare to show half of it on her face, and smiled stiffly, "It's good that mother has made arrangements. It's just that tomorrow, my husband will be organizing a flower viewing banquet, so my daughter-in-law will be entertaining the ladies. If the Imperial Doctor comes, I would also like to ask mother to send someone over to speak to daughter-in-law in advance, so that she can hurry over." 　　"In that case, let's do it another time." Mrs. Qi paused and said with meaning, "Those who come are guests, you should treat them well, don't be out of order." 　　Peony respectfully responded. 　　Biwu was listening to the acid, scratching her heart and lungs, and asked the two-year-old Qi'er in her arms, "Didn't Qi'er just say that she wanted to whack her grandmother's leg for her?" 　　Qi'er appearance resembles Liu Chang, was Bi Wu taught very well behaved, heard immediately struggled to go down from Bi Wu's arms, open two hands towards Qi walked over, small face piled up a smile, sweet and sticky: "Grandmother, Qi'er want you." 　　"What is such a small child whacking his legs for?" Mrs. Qi smiled and took Qi'er into her arms, repeatedly telling Nian Nu to peel loquats to feed him. Qi'er didn't want Nian Nu to feed him, but took it himself and didn't stuff it into his own mouth, holding it up to feed Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi smiled and took it, praising Peony: "It's hard for such a small child to be so well-behaved and understanding." 　　Peony looked at Biwu, who was so pleased with herself, and laughed, "A small child knows who is good to him, and if his mother loves him so much, he is naturally willing to be filial to his mother. Biwu not only gave birth to him well, but also taught him extremely well." 　　Seeing Peony praising herself in front of Mrs. Qi, Biwu, although suspicious, was still happy, "The servant girl is stupid, usually follows the rules taught by madam." 　　Mrs. Qi swept a glance at the two of them and said, "No rules can't make a circle, a family that wants to prosper must observe the rules and know the manners, your young lady is generous and generous, you also have to keep the rules that should be kept up, from tomorrow onwards, every day lead Qi'er to go over to the young lady to ask for peace." 　　Biwu's face changed drastically, not understanding why this rule was suddenly raised. 　　Peony also did not understand. Ever since Peony entered the Liu family, the Liu family had never asked her to honor and observe etiquette, but had never asked anyone to observe etiquette towards her. She was often sick, not to mention that people would come to pay their respects to her, but she would also pay her respects to Mrs. Qi for three days, until recently, her morning and evening visits were fixed. What's wrong with this sudden behavior? 　　Peony intuited that something was not good, so she laughed and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law's courtyard is far away, the children are still young and can't get up in the morning, besides, daughter-in-law is also afraid of the noise, if they go there, there is no cleanliness." 　　Mrs. Qi frowned unhappily and said, "Your body is not well, so it's all the more reason for them to wait on you! If you like peace and quiet, don't let them make noise. It's settled, they will go over to greet you every morning, and then you will come to me together." He also instructed Nian Nu: "Pass on my words, no one is allowed to disobey!" 　　In this way, Peony and Biwu didn't dare to speak up again, and both fell silent. 　　The little maid said outside the curtain: "Madam, Miss Sun has come over." 　　Mrs. Qi still had not collected the stern look on her face and said in a deep voice: "Let her come in." 　　The little maid opened the curtain and walked into a beauty wearing a white jacket with silver and red arms, a turquoise flower skirt, a melon face, small mountain eyebrows, and a shocking swan bun. The beauty was holding a one-year-old baby girl in her arms, and she gracefully saluted Mrs. Qi and asked for peace, and then greeted Peony. It was Liu Chang's other favored concubine, Yu'er, and Liu Chang's one and a half year old concubine's eldest daughter, Jiao Niang. 　　Lady Qi looked at mother and daughter Yu'er indifferently and said, "I just said that from tomorrow onwards, the children will all go over to greet their first mothers, and you will also rush over to serve them." 　　Yu'er was likewise a little surprised, then quickly covered it up and meekly said, "The servant girl had this thought long ago, but I was only afraid of noisy young lady, so I didn't dare to go more." 　　Biwu sneered and swept a glance at Yu'er, disdainfully turning her face away. 　　Yu'er did not pay any attention to her, and greeted Peony's body seriously. Among all of Liu Chang's concubines, she and Biwu were the only ones who were formally raised as aunts, and each of them had their own favorites, and both of them gave birth to sons and daughters, so to say that she was not as good as Biwu in any way, but it was just that she was unlucky and gave birth to a daughter. 　　Not long ago, someone outside to report, said the Liu family father and son have something not come back to eat. So Peony started, several women respectfully served Mrs. Qi with dinner, and each took their leave to go back to their rooms. 　　Peony's foot only reached the door, Mrs. Qi spoke again: "Danniang, wait, they interrupted me just now, I haven't finished my words yet. There are too few people serving in your room, how about I assign you another mom and a first class maid?" 　　Peony couldn't help but cry out in secret, her good days of avoiding idleness were gone.
