"Miss, Aunt Chen is Miss Wen Ya's biological mother, so it's better for you to stay away from her." After Zhenzhu walked out of Aunt Chen's sight, she couldn't help but remind her in a low voice.
When Miss Wen Ya wanted to give Miss the secret recipe for having a baby, she definitely had no good intentions.
She didn't believe that Aunt Chen didn't intervene.
Tang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slyly: "Everyone likes to hear good words. Aunt Chen is good at talking, and I feel good listening to her, but it doesn't mean I want to be friends with her or have any contact with her."
"It's a happy thing that someone is willing to take the trouble to please me."
"Auntie Chen is an interesting person. Wen Huaian has been very busy recently. I'm a little bored. It's rare for me to have some fun. As long as she keeps her distance from Dabao, I'll put up with it."
Fortunately, Aunt Chen didn’t know that Tang Cheng was making fun of her, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood.
Pearl twitched her lips speechlessly.
So she was worrying for nothing
Since the young lady was not bewitched by Aunt Chen, Zhenzhu was no longer worried about this matter. She thought of another thing and said worriedly.
"Miss, my uncle is very popular recently. I heard that a concubine of a fourth-rank official once said that she wanted to be my uncle's concubine. More and more people are interested in my uncle."
Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "They can just keep thinking about you. That's all they can do."
It is normal that Wen Huaian, who is so handsome and has a good family background, has many people who admire him.
If he dares to take a concubine...
Tang Cheng will definitely make him look good!
pearl:"… "
She seemed to sense a murderous aura
Pearl was not sure if it was an illusion. Seeing that the young lady did not look worried at all, she felt secretly worried. The son-in-law was on good terms with the young lady now and had promised that the young lady would only have her.
But a man, especially a man with such a good family background and appearance as the son-in-law, cannot possibly have only the young lady. The only consolation is that the son-in-law had difficulty in having children, but the young lady gave birth to a boy and secured her position as the wife.
Tang Cheng had no idea what her maid was thinking. She took the quiet Dabao for a leisurely stroll, and then returned to Wutong Courtyard when it was time to feed him.
The wet nurse took Dabao down to feed him and coax him to sleep.
After lunch, Tang Cheng had nothing to do and felt bored. After thinking about it, Tang Cheng asked Zhenzhu to take out the jade mahjong that Tang Xin gave her to play.
There were few entertainment activities in winter, so Tang Xin invented mahjong, which soon became popular among the entire circle of powerful people.
Tang Cheng also learned to play mahjong, but he was not addicted to it.
When I have nothing to do, I play with Pearl and the others.
Soon, the sound of mahjong playing could be heard in the warm room.
When Wen Huaian came back, he saw Tang Cheng and the maid playing mahjong. He shook his head and smiled.
The New Year's Day is the busiest time of the year, and Tang Tang is really bored to death.
I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that my mother’s memory was tampered with due to hypnosis. With my mother in charge, Tang Tang became more and more lazy.
"Wen Huaian, you come back so early today." Tang Cheng stopped playing mahjong as soon as he saw Wen Huaian come in.
Pearl and the other three tactfully put away their mahjong and left.
Wen Huaian took off his cloak and handed it to the servant, then replied to Tang Cheng with a smile.
"Well, now that I'm done with my work, I won't have to go to the government office from tomorrow onwards."
Tang Cheng was very happy and poured Wen Huaian a cup of hot tea to warm him up.
Wen Huaian walked to the warm kang and sat down. He took the teacup handed to him by Tang Cheng, took a sip of hot tea and put it down. He stretched out his long arms, hugged Tang Cheng in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead.
"I told my father that I will not go to the palace to attend the annual banquet tomorrow night. I will stay in the mansion to spend the night with you."
Tang Cheng hugged Wen Huaian happily, buried his head in his neck, and raised the corners of his mouth with pride.
"I knew you wouldn't want to leave me alone in the mansion to celebrate the New Year."
Wen Huaian raised the corners of his lips slightly, stroked her hair with his big hands, and said as she spoke.
"Yeah, I can't bear to."
In previous years, when he was in poor health, he would always receive various strange or sympathetic looks when he went to the palace to attend palace banquets.
This year is different.
Because of Tang Cheng, his body not only recovered but also became stronger and stronger. Because of Tang Cheng, he had a son and was no longer the object of sympathy, pity or gloating ridicule by others.
Maybe many people think that Tang Cheng is arrogant and brainless and is born a concubine's daughter and is not worthy of him, but in his heart, Tang Cheng is his salvation and the most important person in his life.
He won't let Tang Cheng down.
Tang Cheng didn't want to attend the New Year's banquet, and he had no interest in the palace banquet either. It would be nice to stay and celebrate the New Year with Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng felt even more proud when she heard Wen Huaian say that he couldn't bear to part with her.
Wen Huaian, who was holding her, smiled silently. Tang Cheng’s thoughts were actually easy to guess.
At this time, the wet nurse brought Dabao, who had just woken up, over.
The two of them were playing with Dabao in the house, and they could hear him howling from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm.
On the other side, the wife of the Duke, who was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, ignored the nanny beside her when she heard that her son had returned.
She received a letter from Jinling, from her niece Xie Xue Ning, whom she had deliberately forgotten.
After reading the letter and learning about Xie Xue Ning's situation after getting married, the Duke's wife was not happy at all.
After dinner that evening, the Duke's wife told Tang Cheng and Wen Huaian about this.
When Tang Cheng suddenly heard the name Xie Xue Ning, he felt strange yet familiar.
"Who is Xie Xue Ning?"
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched: "You once kicked someone into the lake."
Duke Zhenguo: “…”
Tang Cheng finally remembered and said, "It turned out to be Miss Xie."
"How is she now?"
The Duke's wife said, "She said in the letter that after she married the poor scholar, she was bullied by her kind-looking but cruel mother-in-law. Now that she is pregnant, she is still like that. She says one thing but does another. Her husband doesn't know her situation and sides with her mother-in-law. No one in her family helps her, so she wrote to me for help."
Tang Cheng was surprised.
"Miss Xie is so stupid. If my mother-in-law dares to harass me, I will beat her up."
The mother-in-law, Lady Guogong, covered her chest with her hands, thinking it was really terrible to have such a daughter-in-law.
The Duke of Zhenguo lowered his head and drank his tea.
Wen Huaian was so upset that his forehead was filled with black lines. This was something Tang Cheng could really do.
"Miss Xie wrote to her mother-in-law, hoping that she would support her?"
Tang Cheng felt that Miss Xie was either out of her mind or was just hoping for the best.
Tang Cheng didn't have any feelings towards Miss Xie now. She had taken revenge on the spot anyway.
Miss Xie's reputation was ruined and she had to marry someone of lower status, which was a result of her own actions.
Tang Cheng has no hobby of taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
Especially for a pregnant woman.
The Duke's wife nodded: "That's what I mean."
Tang Cheng simply said: "Then send someone to Miss Xie's husband's family to deliver a belated New Year's gift."
The Duke's wife was surprised. She obviously didn't expect Tang Cheng to be so forgiving.
Wen Huaian's lips curled slightly.
No matter what Tang Cheng did, he supported her.
"But you need to make it clear to Miss Xie that this is my intention. I am willing to let her take advantage of her pregnancy, but that's all. If she is too greedy or has thoughts that she shouldn't have, don't blame me for being rude."
Tang Cheng added.
Wen Huaian nodded in agreement with Tang Cheng's approach.
The Duke of Zhenguo had no objection.
The Duchess's wife sent someone to deliver a New Year gift to Xie Xue Ning as Tang Cheng had said.
