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

Lu Tingxu and Qiuyue took turns persuading Yan Liu, trying to make her understand that having the status of a concubine was the best option for her at the moment.

Lin Wan didn't know how she persuaded him specifically. The first thing she did when she returned to the yard was to pass the message to Xiao.

Although the child was not in her belly, it was indeed the first child of the next generation of the Marquisate. When Marquis Lu was young, he left home alone to fight on the battlefield. Later, he became a marquis with his accumulated military merits and had no contact with his family for many years.

Xiao's family was far away in the northwest. When Xiao's father was young, he was also a famous general who guarded the northwest. But he died in battle, leaving behind only an orphan and a widow. Xiao had an elder brother who had some martial arts skills but was far less capable than his father and had only been a minor general.

The couple had almost no relatives in Shangjing, and because of health reasons, Xiao had only one child, Lu Tingxu. Although Xiao had never mentioned the matter of having a child in front of Lin Wan, Lin Wan knew that she was always worried.

Now that Yan Liu has good news, even if Xiao doesn't like Yan Liu, she should still be looking forward to this unborn child.

Sure enough, the person who delivered the message went out at night and came back with Xiao's reply early the next morning.

Xiao was very happy to hear the news and praised Lin Wan highly, saying that it was the safest thing for her to handle the affairs of the mansion. Then she comforted her and said that she had been wronged. They lived very comfortably in the manor and their health improved a lot. All matters of the mansion were left to Lin Wan, and there was no need to ask her for instructions.

Xiao didn't know that Lin Wan had no idea about having children. She just felt that Lin Wan was not happy yet, and a bastard was about to be born in the mansion. She was afraid that although Lin Wan seemed fine on the surface, she would feel uncomfortable in her heart. So she emphasized that no matter whether the child was a boy or a girl, it should be given to Lin Wan to raise.

Not only that, they also sent back a carriage full of rewards, including silks, satins, tiger skins, and bird feathers, as well as a lot of nutritious products such as ginseng, deer antlers, and bird's nests, as well as some special products from the farm, and even a small basket of green vegetables grown by the Xiao family themselves.

These things were nothing compared to the small box of jewelry that was given to Lin Wan. The small box contained a complete set of pearl and jade jewelry, from head ornaments to rings, and every piece of jewelry was a fine product.

In addition, there were the deeds to two farms in the box. Lin Wan took a quick look and found that they were both large farms not far from Shangjing, with a high output value.

These are all compensation and comfort to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan was very happy to receive the real money! The smile on her face became more genuine.

Her mother-in-law is a real person, she never talks nonsense, and she always gives good things. She is both transparent and generous. Lin Wan feels that if she gets married and has such a good mother-in-law, she doesn't care what Lu Tingxu is like.

She picked out the pile of things sent by Xiao, and chose a few pieces of brightly colored brocade, a small box of ginseng and deer antlers, and sent them to Yanliu. She put the rest in her own storeroom.

When Lin Wan came back from Lu Tingxu's place yesterday, she had already chosen a yard, which was right next to Lu Tingxu's yard.

By the way, she also gave names to all the courtyards in the mansion to avoid the trouble of calling them.

The main courtyard where Xiao lived was called Shi'an Courtyard, Lu Tingxu's courtyard was called Xuguang Pavilion, where Lin Wan lived was called Xuanli Pavilion, where Chunfeng lived was called Chunyuxuan, and the courtyard chosen for Yanliu was called Yurongxuan.

There are not many masters in the mansion, and there are not many courtyards to live in, so Lin Wan just casually gave each courtyard a name, thinking that if anyone is not satisfied with it later, she can change it.

Yan Liu was very satisfied when she learned that the Yurongxuan chosen by Lin Wan for her was right next to Xuguang Pavilion, two points closer than Chunyuxuan where Chunfeng lived. She arranged for Qiuyue and the new maid to move in together in the morning.

And she came to Lin Wan alone.

Last night, Lu Tingxu talked to her for a long time. Her current status in the Marquis' Mansion is indeed a bit embarrassing. Before, it didn't matter to her alone, but now that she has a child, it's different.

Although she didn't care about status, in Yan Liu's opinion, although Lin Wan had the status of the legal wife, she was Lu Tingxu's wife. So all along, she didn't want to bow to Lin Wan and offer her that cup of concubine tea.

But if she keeps doing this, when the child is born, she will become a concubine who is despised by others and will be laughed at. How can that be possible! She is the chosen daughter of heaven, who traveled to ancient times to become a heroine. Her child must also become a great person. How can she be laughed at!

Moreover, Qiuyue also advised her privately that if she wanted to stay in the Marquis's Mansion, she had to have a legitimate identity. In particular, only by becoming a concubine could she have her own courtyard and share, and truly survive in this era.

No longer having to argue with Lu Tingxu over trivial matters like clothes and jewelry, Yan Liu felt that she was forced by the situation and had to bow her head temporarily. Although she despised the name of the concubine, she had to endure it for the sake of survival.

After thinking about it, she quickly entered Xuanli Pavilion. Lin Wan was just free at this time, ready to check her warehouse account book, when she saw Yanliu walk in awkwardly.

Lin Wan thought that she would rush to him with her head held high with pride, just like before.

However, he did not expect that this time, Yan Liu stood at the gate of the courtyard in an orderly manner, asked the little maid to come in to report, and then stood quietly there waiting for Lin Wan's reply.

Lin Wan didn't hesitate. Yan Liu was willing to follow the rules for the sake of the child, which was good for everyone. But she didn't know how Lu Tingxu persuaded her last night to actually make her suppress her pride and become obedient.

This is probably what it means to be a strong mother, right? Lin Wan thought with a smile.

For the sake of the children, control your temper and bow to yourself.

Yan Liu walked into the room, lowered her head, and did not look at Lin Wan's face. She was afraid that she would see a mocking smile on Lin Wan's face and would not be able to help but explode.

You have to be patient. Lu Tingxu said that he will compensate her double for all the grievances she suffers now in the future!

Wait, wait until she gives birth to the eldest son of the Marquisate, then the Marquisate will be hers. Lu Tingxu is hers, the child is hers, everything is hers. Now it is just a temporary bow, she will take it back in the future.

Yan Liu kept comforting herself in her heart, looking at the futon in front of her, suppressing the heat in her eyes, kneeling down properly, and offering Lin Wan a cup of concubine tea.

"I invite you to have tea, Madam."

Yan Liu said this word by word, and tears fell to the ground.

Lin Wan looked at her as she tried to endure the humiliation, and instead of saying anything, she took the teacup and took a sip.

"Get up, serve the prince well and give birth to the child. As long as you behave yourself, I will treat you and your child well."

After saying this, Yan Liu stood up while biting her lower lip.

"Yes, Mistress."

Lin Wan rewarded her with many things, including the spring clothes she had left behind, and also gave her a red envelope containing twenty taels of silver.

After receiving the reward, Yan Liu didn't want to stay here for even a second and left in a hurry.

From then on, she became the official concubine Yan in the mansion.
