Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Li Suining held the child affectionately, sat on the couch and coaxed him softly. After a while, the child closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Even when he fell asleep, Li Suining was reluctant to put him down.

She stared at the child's sleeping face for a long time, then kissed his fair and tender little face.

He looked up at Lin Wan who was drinking tea beside him and said softly, "Thank you!"

Lin Wan leaned over to take a look at the sleeping child and asked, "What did my sister-in-law say?"

"You are pretending, right? Pretending not to know how to hold me, pretending to be tired." Li Suining smiled and exposed Lin Wan's little trick.

Lin Wan looked flustered just now, but the child in her arms did not cry because of discomfort. Instead, he nestled in her arms obediently and smiled at her.

But she looked very anxious and asked me to help, and put the child in her arms as if she was tired.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Don't think too much, sister-in-law. I just think the child would like to be held by his mother more."

Li Suining looked at her smile and said, "No wonder your aunt likes you so much. You are considerate and gentle. I can't help but like you even though I have only known you for a short while!"

After saying that, she looked at the child in her arms and said softly, "I know everyone is concerned about my health. Sister, you don't know that when I gave birth to Qian'er, I had a difficult delivery. I struggled for a long time and almost died. I lay in bed for more than half a month and asked the imperial physician to nurse me for a long time before I looked better now."

"My mother-in-law felt sorry for me, so she took Qian'er to her room to raise him. She only let the nurse bring him to my room every day so that I could look at him for a while, but she didn't allow me to hold him in my hands."

Lin Wan looked at her with pity. Childbirth is an extremely harmful thing for a woman's body, especially since she had a difficult delivery. Even after being nursed for more than half a year, her complexion was still not good.

Mrs. Lu was also very kind-hearted, so she didn't allow her to hold the child. But as a mother, how could she resist not being affectionate just because she was weak?

"I think Qian'er is so cute. Sister-in-law should take care of her health first, and then accompany Qian'er to grow up!"

Li Suining smiled and nodded, "I know, don't worry. For a family like us, the last thing we lack is those tonic foods."

The relationship between the two is not that close. Li Suining held the child and chatted with Lin Wan.

The two people are of similar age. Although they were born in different families, they are both daughters-in-law of wealthy families now and have many common topics.

When Lin Wan mentioned the housekeeper, Li Suining asked with some envy: "You are now the mistress of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"

"Yes, mother has handed over all the housekeeping matters to me." Lin Wan nodded.

"That's great. I haven't been involved in housekeeping work before because I was pregnant. Recently, my mother asked me to learn from her and assigned me some housekeeping responsibilities, which are..."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Did you see the woman who was standing with me in the main hall just now?"

Seeing Lin Wan nod, he continued, "That's the prince's biological sister, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She said that I was not in good health and was afraid that the housekeeper would be burdened, so she told mother that she wanted to take care of the house together with me."

"Together?"

"My mother arranges things, and then we compete to see whose method is better and whose idea is more correct. After the New Year, we'll see who does the best."

Lin Wan was stunned after hearing this, and after a long while she said, "But...but isn't the eldest lady going to say something about me? Why does she want the right to be the housekeeper of her mother's family?"

My mother and sister-in-law are both alive, and both are capable and well-known. Why should my sister-in-law interfere in her mother's family affairs? Should she invite someone to marry into her family? That's unnecessary.

Lin Wan couldn't understand what this young lady was thinking. She had just met her and felt that this person was not easy to get along with.

But after all, it was not her family's business, so Lin Wan didn't say much.

Li Suining frowned and said in a bad mood: "She thinks that I am marrying up and marrying into the Duke's Mansion. I just don't have the ability. Alas...since ancient times, sisters-in-law should not be offended. I know she doesn't like me, but what can I do!"

Lin Wan listened to the grievance in Li Suining's words. She took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. She will get married sooner or later. You are the future wife of this mansion. If you trust me, you can come to me if there is anything you can't solve. I will help you find a solution!"

Li Suining perked up after hearing this and nodded.

Xiao just praised Lin Wan for her ability. If she could help her, that would be great!

The two chatted and laughed for a long time, and when they heard that dinner was about to start, they had already begun to call each other sisters. Lin Wan had her first good friend in her life.

The banquet prepared by the Duke's Mansion for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo today is quite sumptuous.

Even though Lin Wan was honored with the first rank in her previous life and had entered the palace to attend palace banquets, when she saw such a meal today, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is only slightly worse than the food in the palace.

There were more than a dozen dishes displayed on the huge round table.

There are steamed bear paws, braised venison, eight-treasure gourd duck, baby pigeon and shark fins, and everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water.

Especially now that winter has arrived, vegetables are scarce. But on the table there are not only a variety of seasonal vegetables, but also a delicious chicken soup with mushrooms.

Anyway, there are all kinds of delicious food, including rare delicacies.

With the sound of fine snow fluttering outside the window, the women in the family enjoyed delicious food in the warm house.

The maids and old women around served meticulously, and there was no sound from their every move.

Lin Wan sighed, fortunately she had seen a lot in her previous life and learned all kinds of etiquette for entering the palace, whether it was walking, greeting or dining. Today, she could remain calm in such an occasion without showing any timidity or impoliteness.

Among all the people in the room, Lin Wan was probably of the lowest birth. So during the meal, Mrs. Lu and some of the ladies from high-ranking families looked at her from time to time, but they all found that her manners were no different from those of others.

I looked up to him even more in my heart.

Xiao even glanced at Lu with some pride. The latter smiled and shook her head, becoming even more satisfied and fond of Lin Wan.

Li Suining was a little surprised. She was worried that Lin Wan might not know how to adapt to these dining etiquettes. She regretted that she was so happy when chatting just now that she forgot to remind her.

Who would have thought that Lin Wan's performance was better than when she first got married. She felt a little more admiration in her heart, and thought that she would definitely ask her for advice if she encountered any problems in the future.

After the meal, snacks and tea were served. Everyone in the room talked and laughed for a long time before leaving one after another.

Lin Wan accompanied Xiao until all the guests left. Lu still held Xiao's hand reluctantly and said, "Good sister, I'm back now. If you have nothing to do, come to my place often!"

Xiao agreed with a smile. Li Suining on the side also winked at Lin Wan secretly, and Lin Wan smiled back at her.

On the way back in the carriage, Xiao smiled at Lin Wan and said, "Wan'er, you performed really well today! Your aunt Lu just praised you a lot to me. Suining is also a gentle person. You can spend more time together in the future."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Girls still need to have some like-minded friends."

Lin Wan nodded seriously to show that she understood.
