Han was naturally satisfied with the performance of her aunts. Her daughter had a different status, so it was natural for her to have more people serving her. As a mother, she was also happy. Correspondingly, she also hoped that everyone around her daughter would treat her wholeheartedly and not bring trouble to her daughter just because of her different background.
Of course, the servants around Xiaocao inevitably developed a sense of crisis. After all, there was only one master and so many things to do. If they were not careful, they would be squeezed out by the people who were obviously more experienced and more capable in all aspects.
Xiaocao probably didn't consider what these people were thinking. She was counting her private property in the Wenren family.
There wasn't much cash, but just various treasures of extraordinary value, which were almost as much as those in the princess's mansion.
There is no need to convert the total value as it does not make much sense, not to mention that there are many precious medicinal materials in it. In her hands, these things are truly priceless treasures.
Just by counting like this, Xiaocao had a rough idea of his private property.
She was not very clear about the cost of renovating the house, but according to the overall price, it should be enough. However, even if it was not enough, it didn't matter, it should be easy for her to "attract investment".
Every profession has its own expertise, so it’s better to find a professional to do it. I have my own thoughts on eating, digesting food, reading, and sleeping.
The next day, her biological clock was still on time. After finishing her daily chores, Xiaocao went out. As a lady from a wealthy family, she had almost no time to stay at home. This was probably the only case like her.
Xiaocao did not go to the Zuo family immediately, but went to Prince Duan's mansion first. However, Xiaocao was told that Prince Duan was not in the mansion. It turned out that he had officially returned to the court to take up his duties a month ago.
Princess Duan was very affectionate and treated her like her own sister.
Princess Duan's family background was already very good. Now that Prince Duan has regained his Ming Dynasty and returned to the imperial court, and her father has returned to serve as the Minister of War, she is even more confident. Moreover...
Xiao Cao took Princess Duan's pulse at her request. She understood Princess Duan's slightly abnormal attitude and said with a smile, "The princess is in good condition, and the child is obviously also doing well. Just keep it up."
Princess Duan pursed her lips, smiling as she gently touched her belly. "Although the imperial physician said so before, I feel more relieved after hearing what you said, An Guo. I hope this baby is a daughter, and in the future, she will be as outstanding as her aunt An Guo."
This is the third child of the Duan Wang's wife, who has already conceived two sons. Originally, there were not many people in the backyard of the Duan Wang's mansion. Even when he was the crown prince, the backyard was not fully equipped because Emperor Xuanren did not want him to indulge in beauty, and he himself was not so keen on this. Later, when something happened, he did not add any more people. Of course, the situation is different now, and there are probably many people who are thinking about it. The Duan Wang now has two children, both of whom are legitimate, and this is the third child. The relationship between the couple has always been good, so in this regard, the Duan Wang's wife does not care much.
Xiaocao laughed but didn't respond to her. She then asked about the condition of Prince Duan's eyes.
"Your Highness's eyes have always been in good condition. There has been almost no dryness in the past two months. He has been paying attention to his diet and rest, and has been taking medicine. There should be no rejection problem."
Xiao Cao nodded, "Then there should be no problem. I don't know when the prince usually comes back. Let's make an appointment and I'll take a closer look. If nothing unexpected happens, the medicine can be stopped."
Princess Duan was delighted, "That's great. Father is considerate, the prince usually comes back at 3 p.m."
"In that case, I will come over this afternoon."
"Look, Anguo, you are always busy. Otherwise, I will let the prince come to you."
Xiao Cao shook her head. "There are indeed some things going on, so I am not sure where I will be. It may take a lot of effort for the prince to come to find me."
"Thank you for your help."
"What kind of words are you talking about?"
After Xiaocao said goodbye, she went to the Zuo family. As soon as she entered the gate of the Zuo family, Mrs. Zuo knelt down in front of Xiaocao and begged her to have mercy and forgive her son this time. She promised that he would never dare to make mistakes again in the future, and even promised that he would live alone guarding Wenren Creek.
Xiao Cao was unmoved, "It was said to be twelve hours, so of course it won't exceed the time. I almost got here on time. Even if it's not time yet, it won't be long. Madam Zuo, there's no need to be like this." He simply bypassed and headed for Wenren Xi's house.
Madam Zuo knelt on the spot with an unfathomable look on her face. After a moment, she stood up staggeringly.
It was quite quiet at Wenren Creek, the only obvious sound was probably the crying of a child.
Seeing Xiaocao coming in, his eyes lit up, "Fourth sister, you are here."
"Well. How do you feel?" he asked while taking Wenren Xi's pulse.
"fine."
"Did the Zuo family come to see you?"
"Fourth sister, if you leave someone behind to stop them, they won't dare to force their way in."
However, I'm afraid that everyone has said some unpleasant things to a greater or lesser extent.
Wen Renxi looked indifferent, not taking it seriously. She was not a poor little thing without anyone to support her. She only said that if she and the child were to quarrel again, she would immediately take the child back to her parents' home. The Zuo family left in disgrace. What if they said she was cruel? Thanks to that man, she had been to the gates of hell. Would she forgive him so easily? If she forgave him, wouldn't it be unfair to her fourth sister who helped her
Xiaocao had indeed come on time. When she met Zuo Guye, it was just past the time. She lay limp on the bed as if she had been fished out of the water, her eyes dull, and it was obvious that she would not be able to recover for a while.
Xiao Cao chuckled, "Sixth brother-in-law, for the next month, you need to tie 20 kilograms of rice to your stomach. You cannot take it off at any time. You will experience leg swelling, vomiting, constipation, hip pain and other symptoms. You will not be able to eat well, sleep well, and move around easily. I will let the aunt in the princess's mansion watch you all the time. If you can't stand it, just say so and sign the divorce agreement, and everything will be fine."
