Facing her distinguished daughter, Mrs. Qin spoke in a very gentle tone: "Don't worry too much about this. We don't need to make any preparations. She was only found outside not long ago. This matter is already known to everyone."
The circle in Beijing is not big, but not small either, but some conventional rules have always been there.
Especially those top-level old nobles, they all look down on others.
Speaking of which, even Princess Qin herself suffered a lot in these upper-class ladies' circles before she married Prince Zhuang.
Now that Su Yao has returned to the capital and recognized his ancestral roots, it will be only a matter of time before he represents the Yongding Marquis's Mansion to socialize.
Mrs. Qin carefully observed her daughter's face, trying to cheer her up: "Who is she to deserve your concern? You are pregnant with the first grandchild of the royal family. Giving birth to the child is a great achievement. Why bother about such a person? Even if Your Highness really has that intention..." Mrs. Qin narrowed her eyes and showed some hostility: "If the Su family can see right from wrong, they will know whether they are worthy or not!"
Qin's pale face was tinged with a little blush, and she pulled the corner of her mouth with a somewhat indifferent expression: "What do you know? That girl is a little weird. I don't know what His Highness heard from Cheng Dingan, and he is very concerned about that girl."
Her stomach was churning. Qin turned over and tried to vomit, but she couldn't vomit anything for a long time. She waved her hand and asked someone to take the spittoon down. Then she stared at Mrs. Qin and said, "Don't think that just because I'm pregnant, you can rest easy. I know better than you what kind of person His Highness is. If anyone can bring him more than I can, I will be the one who is abandoned. If I can't do it, do you think you can all be safe?"
This was a very impolite statement, and Mrs. Qin blushed with embarrassment.
She stammered and shook her head: "Princess, it's my family's incompetence that has caused you trouble..."
If Qin had not been pregnant this time, the Qin family would really have been in an unknown situation.
Qin slowly closed her eyes, sighed, and opened them again. Her tone had softened a lot: "Mother, I don't mean to blame you and father, but my daughter has already entered the palace, and our family has no other way to go. I also know that Your Highness will inevitably have concubines and other heirs in the future, but not now, and the candidate must not be this Su Yao, do you understand?"
We have to wait until she gives birth to the child and establishes her position firmly.
Mrs. Qin immediately took this matter seriously and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Princess. Your father and brother are very concerned about this matter and will not make any mistakes to upset you..."
Qin's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Mrs. Qin's hand and choked up, calling her mother. She said in a sad tone, "Don't blame me. I have no other choice. He is kind, filial and loyal to others, but I am the only one who knows that he is two-faced in front of others and behind others. I have seen how much my uncle has helped him. I have served him and thought about him for so many years. But when someone plotted against my uncle because of him, he refused to even lend a hand. You know how difficult it is for me! Now I finally have this child. God has mercy on me. I can't make any mistakes anymore!"
Everyone thought that her daughter was doing well and having a bright future. Mrs. Qin held her daughter's hand tightly with trembling lips and couldn't help shedding tears: "Don't worry, don't worry, I know everything in my heart..."
Mrs. Qin's eyes were still red when she got home. Mr. Qin came in and found that she was also at home. He immediately exclaimed, "Didn't you go to see the princess? Why are you back so early?"
As he spoke, he went to look through Mrs. Qin's makeup box. After fiddling with it for a while, he turned around with a frown and looked at Mrs. Qin: "A few days ago, my aunt sent me three thousand taels of silver notes. I asked you to keep them. How come they are gone?"
Silver, silver, silver!
All he talks about is money!
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and glared at him unhappily: "You only know how to find money, why don't you ask the princess?!"
"Princess?" Master Qin came back to his senses and asked casually, "What's wrong with the princess? She is now pregnant with the prince's first child, the most precious child. What else is there to worry about?"
My husband is such a jerk!
No wonder his daughter doesn’t trust him in anything. She has been worried and frightened ever since her second uncle got into trouble.
My husband is a prince, a member of a royal family, but he is selfish and cold-hearted. He is unreliable and cannot say a single kind word. My parents’ family can’t help me at all. How can I feel at ease
She held back her anger and told him everything about her daughter's predicament. Seeing that Master Qin hadn't reacted yet, she said coldly, "Speaking of money, I can't go to visit the princess empty-handed. Because of my second uncle's matter, the money in the family has been exhausted. What can these three thousand taels do? Of course, it is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for a family like us..."
If Qin only relied on the little monthly salary from the palace, how could she maintain her dignity
No money required for going out to greet and see off guests
King Zhuang was so conceited that he didn't need money to make friends with those people? Didn't he need money to support his subordinates
Relying only on the farmlands and properties given by the palace, their palace is actually not very well off.
The Qin family used to have Qin Chen, but now that Qin Chen has lost his job, how can there be so many ways to make money
This is only possible because Qin is pregnant recently, so some people have come to help her with various excuses to make up for the deficit. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I would have survived.
Mrs. Qin frowned, "The Wang family's daughter is coming of age, the Guangping Marquis's grandson is celebrating his first month, and Princess Mingchang's birthday is coming... Don't you think you need money for all these? You just spend money like water, and never know how to make up for the family's income!"
Master Qin's ears were callused by the nagging. He stood up and said, "Ah, I won't talk to you about this. You women in the backyard talk about money all day long. Isn't that vulgar?"
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Is it vulgar
But she was still worried about her daughter, so she held back and grabbed Master Qin who was trying to avoid her, saying sternly, "Stop right there! You're hiding again after I said a few words to you! Didn't the princess ask you to go to Lord Shao's house? Did you go there?!"
Master Qin had a lot of lumps on his head. He wanted to stay away from his nagging wife, but when he heard this question, he stopped and said hurriedly: "How can this not be done? Don't worry, I said everything according to what the princess said, and I am sure that the princess's intentions were conveyed. The princess's temper..."
