After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 248 Praise for the group

After all the doctors left, an unknown amount of time had passed before Mrs. Qian fell asleep in a daze, thinking about Zhang Yuniang's words asking her to rest more during the confinement period.

Mrs. Qian had a dream.

There were no Zhang Yuniang and Niuniu in the dream. Li only came for her third bath. She continued to eat the "tonic soup" unconsciously and suddenly had a hemorrhage before she was out of confinement.

When my daughter was two or three months old, she died because she did not receive timely medical treatment for a high fever.

A year after her death, her husband remarried Liu Ruyi. The couple lived in love and harmony and soon forgot about her.

Mrs. Qian woke up from a nightmare. It was broad daylight, but she was so scared that she was sweating profusely.

When she thought about the death of mother and daughter in her dream, she was filled with resentment.

"Madam, please eat something. Your health is important. You have to eat even if you can't eat. Madam Gu said you have to take care of yourself. Please think more about the young lady..." the personal maid advised softly.

Mrs. Qian had lost her appetite due to the nightmare, but she could hear the crying of a baby and the voice of the nanny humming songs to comfort the child.

Madam Qian slowly came back to her senses. She looked at the maid beside her, and after a long while, she finally made a decision: "Tomorrow you go to the human trafficker and buy a girl yourself. She must be kind and pretty. Don't choose the kind who is treacherous. Forget it, buy a few more, at least pick two."

Mrs. Qian had suffered too many shocks today. She felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe.

Although everyone around her told her that her husband respected and loved her very much, her husband seemed to be normal in the dream and even observed filial piety for her for a year.

But Mrs. Qian didn't dare to gamble.

She was born into a wealthy merchant family. In the past, she was loved and respected by her husband because of her generous dowry. But after her husband passed the imperial examination and became an official, even her father had to be cautious when speaking to her husband.

She knew better than anyone how much her husband longed for a son, so rather than having them fall out in the future, it would be better for her to give him a concubine now.

Lord Qian came back in the evening and went to the old lady's place in the backyard first. After having dinner, he came to the main room.

Because Madam Qian kept the secret secret and the inner house was filled with her dowry servants, Liu Ruyi had no idea that she had been exposed. Instead, she instigated the old lady to accuse Madam Qian in front of Lord Qian of wasting money by hiring a bunch of doctors.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell today?" Lord Qian asked about Madam Qian's request for a doctor.

Mrs. Qian immediately revealed the big news of the day.

Lord Qian was just asking a routine question and was not prepared for this huge bombshell.

"Don't let your cousin cook medicine for you in the future. She may not know the inside story and is confused..." Lord Qian's first reaction was to smooth things over. After all, Madam Qian is not dead now, and the old lady has always loved Liu Ruyi.

Although Mrs. Qian was mentally prepared, she still felt a chill down her spine at this moment.

She followed Li's instructions to take advantage of his official reputation.

Lord Qian did not hesitate at all and changed his words on the spot: "You are right. Such a vicious woman must not be left with my mother. Tomorrow I will find someone to send her back to her hometown and hand her over to the Liu family for disposal."

The Liu family, which had swallowed up Liu Ruyi's property, were a group of jackals and tigers. If she went back now, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Her fate could be imagined.

Mrs. Qian suddenly figured it out.

Be it herself, Liu Ruyi, or even her own mother in the backyard, in her husband's eyes, none of them may be as important as his career.

When Mrs. Qian thought of this, she suddenly felt that what she was going to say was not so painful. "I am not feeling well now, and I want to take two concubines for you, what do you think?"

Lord Qian was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he said, "Madam, you are the one who makes the decisions regarding matters in the rear house."

Although Mrs. Qian had anticipated this kind of reaction from him, she was still disappointed. She told herself that in the future she should only treat her husband as a tool to seek wealth and glory for her daughter and not give her true heart to him anymore.

After Zhang Yuniang and her group left Qian's house, they boarded the carriage.

Niuniu saw that both mothers looked unhappy and asked in confusion, "Why are you unhappy?"

Zhang Yunniang didn't know what to say for a moment. It was not easy to tell Niuniu directly about the secrets of the inner chamber.

Niuniu held up a set of jade ornaments in the shape of small animals and said, "Mom, Aunt Qian is so kind. This is a gift from her!"

Mrs. Qian saw Niu Niu playing with the ornament and thought she liked it, so she gave it to Niu Niu directly.

In addition to this set of ornaments, she also gave many other gifts to thank Zhang Yuniang for saving her life.

Zhang Yunniang still felt uneasy and asked Li: "Did I say something wrong before? Although I saved Madam Qian, will it be a burden to you?"

Li shook her head and said, "Don't worry, she is not that kind of person. There are many secrets in the inner house. Even if it gets out, it will only be a few gossips. Madam Qian knows what is important."

"Besides, if you really want to talk about being a burden, it's me who is a burden to you. I originally thought that I could not only help Madam Qian out of her urgent need, but also allow you to show your strengths. However, I didn't expect that the first time I took action, I would be involved in the secrets of the inner house."

Although Li did not say it explicitly, Zhang Yuniang understood that Li did this because she wanted Zhang Yuniang to take more gifts as a thank you.

This time she went to Madam Qian's house. Not counting the jade ornament in Niu Niu's hand, the other gifts were worth two or three hundred taels of silver.

She only spent a whole morning and said a few words there but gained so much. It shows how easy it is for these ladies to make money.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, and said, "I used to think that women who lived in a big house and were served by a bunch of maids and servants had no worries. Now I think that a harmonious family is more important than more money."

Li nodded with deep feeling.

Niuniu raised her little face and said, "So what mom did today was to help Aunt Qian's family maintain harmony. You guys are awesome!"

Zhang Yunniang didn't expect that her daughter could find such a tricky reason to praise herself, so she quickly explained: "My dear, today I didn't help your Aunt Qian's family to be harmonious. What I did today was to help your Aunt Qian get well."

Zhang Yunniang thought that it would be better for her not to do such things in the future.

"No?" Niu Niu was puzzled.

Zhang Yuniang was about to nod.

Li said, "Yes, you did help her in this way."

Zhang Yuniang's face was full of confusion.

Li continued, "I know you're thinking of quitting because of what happened today, but think about it carefully. Madam Qian has thought it through and has a clear mind. She will naturally know how to handle household affairs in the future. Isn't that a harmonious family? Her situation at home will also be better!"

"Not to mention, you actually saved the lives of Madam Qian and her daughter."

Niuniu immediately followed Li and said loudly: "Mom saved two lives, Mom is a hero!"
