Wang and the old lady soon got the news of such a big happy event next door, especially the old lady, who smiled so hard that two more wrinkles appeared on her face. Never mind whether the children of Chunhuayuan were noble or not, they already had an advantage in terms of numbers alone.

Having three kids at once, one of them must be a boy. When these old ladies think about it, there is no way they can sit still.

The three pregnant women gathered together, and the old lady said yes again and again, her eyes moving from one belly to another with great satisfaction. She immediately ordered Wang to increase the monthly salary for Chunhuayuan, and "assign a few more people to serve, and don't neglect the kitchen either."

Wang was also very happy. "Mother is really thoughtful. Since there are enough people in the eldest daughter-in-law's room, we can add two more people to each of the two concubines' rooms. Aunt Cai will have to take care of the pregnant woman."

Aunt Cai felt more confident and thought that Chunhua Courtyard was in great luck. She accepted the task very seriously and said with embarrassment, "I will do my best to serve you, but Chunhua Courtyard is not as spacious as Qiushi Courtyard. If you add more people to the rooms of the two concubines, it will be a bit crowded. It is better to add one to each room first and then add more people after the open space in the backyard is expanded."

Wang sneered in her heart, thinking that he didn't forget to flatter the old lady.

How could she not know how big Chunhuayuan is?

"The maids have always lived in one room with several people. If everyone wants to occupy one room each, no matter how many rooms there are, there won't be enough. The two concubines' pregnancy is a big deal, and the number of servants cannot be reduced. You are also an elder in the mansion, and you must warn the people below not to exclude the newcomers by relying on your seniority. We are all servants of the master, regardless of status."

Aunt Cai was very respectful and said that their Chunhua Courtyard already had four maids living in one room, which was already very crowded. Wang frowned slightly and thought of something but still needed to discuss it with the old lady, "Then arrange one first."

The old lady didn't say much, but just told Aunt Cai to serve the master in the yard well and to control the people below so as not to cause trouble.

The old lady's happiness faded a bit after coming out of Chunhua Courtyard. If there was no capable person to intimidate the pregnant women in this courtyard, who knows how much trouble would be caused.

"How about Cui Ping?"

Wang said, "She is indeed capable. The second daughter-in-law intends to send Aunt Wang, who is beside her, back to the Xin residence to take care of other matters. She has been gradually handing over some matters to Cuiping in the past few days."

The old lady felt a little regretful. Chunhua Courtyard was in such a mess, and she wanted to invite Cuiping to stay for a few months. Wang took the initiative to bring up the subject, "Mother, do you want to invite Cuiping to Chunhua Courtyard?"

"That's just the question. You've seen the people in this yard. Too many women can easily cause trouble, let alone three pregnant women gathered together."

Wang supported her and said, "Although I helped to invite Cuiping, her monthly salary was paid by the second son's wife herself, and it was not paid through the public account of the mansion. In other words, Cuiping is not under the command of the mansion."

"Aunt Cai is an old lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and the boss trusts her very much. If we want to add a housekeeper aunt to Chunhua Courtyard at this time, the boss will inevitably think too much."

"I'm afraid it will only add to the trouble."

The old lady nodded and walked forward. After a few steps, she reached the gate of Qiushi Courtyard. Standing at the gate, she could hear the laughter and barking of dogs inside. She sighed silently and said to Wang: "This is a careless person."

Wang smiled and said, "Offspring are all fate, maybe the fate has not arrived yet."

"The eldest son will inherit the Marquisate in the future, so his children are the most important. As for the second son and his wife, just let them be."

The old lady disagreed, "They are brothers from the same mansion, and they are getting married on the same day, how can they not be anxious?"

"Don't say anything important or not in the future. You are a mother, and your child will be heartbroken if he hears it."

Wang helped her into the house, feeling more and more unsure of the old lady. Occasionally, she felt that the old lady was okay with Tang Mo. "It's useless for you and me to worry about this matter. If the two little ones are not anxious, there is nothing we can do."

"If the eldest son got married early, the child would have been educated by now, right?"

Tang Rong is five or six years older than Tang Mo. He delayed getting married on the same day as Tang Mo just to wait for Xin An to reach the age. Unfortunately...

Thinking of this, the old lady said no more. When she entered the room, she saw Xin An playing with the dog and felt helpless. Xin An smiled and stepped forward to greet her, "Grandma, mother."

Wang saw the tied up meatball nodding in agreement, "I said I was reminding you, but you tied it up first."

Xin An smiled and said, "This dog likes to run around and always goes to the next yard. Now the situation is different, so we have to tie it up and let it go after the gate is closed at night."

The old lady came to Qiushi Courtyard on the second day after Xin An got married. Because of the rumors she heard, she couldn't help but look around the courtyard a little more and joked, "Your courtyard is well maintained, spacious and beautiful. No wonder you don't like to go to your grandmother's house anymore."

Xin An started to act coquettishly, "My grandmother loves me and always gives me rare and valuable things. My mother said that if I go to my grandmother's house more often, her storehouse will be almost emptied out. Then people will say that I am coveting my grandmother's good things and flattering her."

"You think I don't want to go to Chunrong Hall? I like the food at my grandmother's house the best. I love eating with my grandmother. I can't even enjoy eating alone."

The old lady looked at Wang, and Wang explained, "I just heard people gossiping about this girl, so I gave her a few words. This girl is ignorant, but you love your juniors, so you gave her all the good things, and the people below couldn't help but make up stories about her."

"Who would be so bold?"

The old lady didn't have to guess who was dissatisfied, but she felt that Xin Ande deserved it. If it made her happy, she would be willing to give it to her. Besides, it was only a few items in total.

"Don't worry about the gossips of the people below. If you feel wronged in the future, come to me. I will support you. It won't be pleasant to eat without you by my side."

Xin An smiled and hugged her arms, "I know that my grandmother loves me the most."

Wang was also smiling beside her, feeling more and more complicated.

The three of them sat under the eaves and talked and brewed tea. After a while of chatting and laughing, Xin An lowered his voice and approached the old lady, "Grandma, recently someone said that my eldest brother's yard is not spacious enough, and that he should have lived in our Qiushi Courtyard. Now there are two more pregnant women, will you let me move out of Qiushi Courtyard?"

“I’m used to living here.”

Who would have thought she could be so direct? The old lady subconsciously said, "Who dares to ask you to move?"

"You can live peacefully. There are other courtyards in the mansion. If anyone talks nonsense again, they must be severely punished."

Xin An was touched, "Grandma is so kind to me."

The old lady smiled and patted the back of her hand, "Don't listen to those people's gossip. No one can bully you as long as your grandmother is here."

Xin An quickly poured her some tea, "Grandma, have some tea."
