Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 162

Sure enough, as Xiao Wenqing expected, the prime minister's wife didn't want Xiao Wenqing to go to the civilian Zhao's house. She just said, it's fine if you think about it, and you should prepare more gifts to send there.

Xiao Wenqing had no choice but to prepare more gifts, and then asked the close maid Jing Jing and the two servants in the courtyard to bring the generous gift to the prime minister's family.She sent Manao to Liu Hanlin's mansion and asked Mrs. Liu to invite her to talk.What she meant was that if Mrs. Liu invited her to talk, she could quietly go to visit the godmother from Liu Hanlin's mansion.

After Manao came back, she reported: Mrs. Liu knew what Madam meant, but she had a reason for being inconvenient to come forward, so she couldn't help her this time.

Ugh……

Xiao Wenqing could only sigh.The prime minister's wife has always been unkind to concubines and concubines, and the sixth sister, Mrs. Liu, does not want to have a direct conflict with the aunt.

Do you want to ask Yuxuan for help?He is busy with official duties, can this kind of family affairs bother him?Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a while and decided to wait for Ling Yuxuan to ask him when he returned home at night, because he also attached great importance to the Zhao family, and would definitely be willing to take time out of his busy schedule to go to the Zhao family to celebrate.

"What, already born? Oh, it's a daughter. The daughter is not bad. The sixth sister said that the daughter is the mother's close-fitting padded jacket." Ling Yuxuan was very happy to learn that Mrs. Zhao had given birth, "Have you prepared any gifts? The godmother is you My benefactor, matchmaker, you must have a gift."

"Yuxuan, I have delivered all the presents." Xiao Wenqing said helplessly, "I want to ask my mother what she wants when I leave the house, but my mother only asks me to give gifts, and she doesn't want me to go to celebrate in person."

"Well, you did nothing wrong. It is the duty of a daughter-in-law to ask your mother-in-law more, and it is also a respect for her." Ling Yuxuan got up and walked back and forth, and said, "In order to maintain the dignity of the prime minister's mansion, mother naturally does not want you and Lowly civilians continue to come and go, it's just too inhumane to do so."

He sighed and said, "No wonder the third sister-in-law urged the third brother to leave the house and set up a new family several times. As a daughter-in-law, she must be controlled by her mother-in-law everywhere." He didn't understand that the third brother is a bastard. , If you want to separate the family, the father who has a legitimate son who can inherit the family business and provide for the elderly should agree. Why doesn't the father agree?Although the third sister-in-law is the wife of a fifth-rank official, she is neglected and suppressed by her mother-in-law everywhere, and she is depressed to death.

Ling Yuxuan counted the time, and said: "Since the gift has been delivered, you should not go there for now. When I have time, I will take you out for an outing." Ling Yuxuan said.He is a grown man, and he doesn't need to report to his mother where he goes; he takes his wife on a trip, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't tell his mother in advance.

"Hmm." A happy smile appeared on Xiao Wenqing's face.Sure enough, the difficult matter for her was easily solved in Yu Xuan's hands.

After dinner, the young couple were talking in the room.Ling Yuxuan asked Xiao Wenqing about his daily life today. Before today, their little husband and wife were almost stuck together, like light and shadow.

"I went to pay my respects to my mother, and played two games of chess with my mother. In one game, I won five and a half, and in the other game I gave up and gave up." Xiao Wenqing said, "My mother's chess skills are about the same as mine, and they are all used to pass the time. "

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has three major housekeepers and more than a dozen small housekeepers. The internal affairs of the house have formed their own set of operating methods for decades. I don't need to bother my mother with ordinary small things. My mother sets aside time every month to listen to the reports of the housekeepers. Send the accountant to check the accounts, so my mother lives very leisurely on weekdays. She is not a particularly lively person, so she is not invited to ordinary people's weddings and funerals." Ling Yuxuan said.

"Isn't the mother very lonely?" Xiao Wenqing sighed.She could tell that the three grandchildren in the mansion were not close to her grandmother, and her mother-in-law wouldn't let the three granddaughters who were not related to her come to her on weekdays.

"My mother can completely let her children and grandchildren surround her knees like other grandmothers, but she herself is unwilling to accept the concubine's children and grandchildren." Ling Yuxuan said calmly.If you relax your heart, you will feel better, mother, why bother?Her eldest brother had passed away a long time ago, and she had to accept that her husband's child had taken the place of her only son.

"Yuxuan, maybe the elderly will feel that the child raised in front of them is more caring." Xiao Wenqing whispered, "When we have a child, let him get closer to his grandmother." The innocent and lovely child is the softener that eases the conflict between the adults .

"Okay." Ling Yuxuan immediately hugged Xiao Wenqing, and said enthusiastically, "The two of us must work harder to let the child come out as soon as possible to make grandma happy."

Xiao Wenqing immediately relaxed her body and snuggled into his arms, allowing him to walk into the gold-painted lacquered pedestal bed with her arms around her.Although the foretelling nightmare was just a dream, pregnancy and children always stimulated her motherhood to overflow. She longed to have a child as soon as possible, and gave all her mother's love to that child.

Xiao Wenqing began to make up for her mother-in-law every morning and evening, and found that she could not meet the third sister-in-law every time, so she quietly asked Aunt Cao who was next to her mother-in-law.Cao Yunniang told Xiao Wenqing that the wife only asked the third young lady to bring her daughters to pay her respects every five and ten.

Grandma can do this...

Xiao Wenqing sighed inwardly, and when she came out from her mother-in-law, she took a box of pastries bought by Yuxuan outside for herself, and went around half a circle to visit her third sister-in-law who lived in the west.

Mrs. Cui, the third young lady, was surprised that Xiao Wenqing would take the initiative to come to visit her. She also brought pastries that were not made in her own kitchen, and welcomed her happily.The two sat on the Arhat bed, drank tea and chatted about family affairs.
