Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

"Alas, I am only thinking about my daughter. You know how favored Miss Ran was in Anping before. How come Madam has lost her baby and now she is looking down on the grown-up child?" The nanny sighed with confusion on her face.

Qiu Sang also complained: "Mammy, you don't know, when the child just died, Madam had a bad temper and would beat and scold us servants at any time, but recently she has suddenly become quiet and doesn't say a word. When she hears Miss Ran's voice, she says she has a headache. She only has a good face when she is with Master Yitian."

"Madam has just cheered up. While there is no legitimate son in the mansion and the Marquis is not in good health, please appoint a prince as the right thing to do!"

The two of them talked in whispers for a while, then left reluctantly.

The nanny walked around the corridor, seemingly returning to Shen Yunran's room, but she stopped at a corner, looked around, and quickly walked towards a small door.

That small door was for the convenience of the servants in the back house. If the master suddenly asked them to go to the street to buy something, it would be faster to go back and forth through such a small door.

The ones guarding the small gate were all older women from the back house. They were well-mannered and had a lot of experience, so it was easy for them to scold the little girl who ran errands.

"Miss Ran asked you to go out to see your grandparents again? It's windy today, you better walk along the wall, don't get blown away!"

The nanny guarding the gate was obviously an old acquaintance of the nanny in Shen Yunran's room. Judging from the intimacy in their tone, the two of them had a very good relationship.

"Stop being so loud! Someone might hear you!" Then he stuffed a dozen copper coins into his pocket.

"I'll be back soon, you can't sneak away, you must wait for me to come back!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" The gatekeeper stuffed the copper coins into her chest and patted it, her smile becoming more sincere.

"The wedding will be on March 8th, which is two days from now. But I've seen that apart from inviting some girls from other families to the mansion, nothing else has been arranged yet!"

"I have said everything Madam asked me to say. Qiu Sang is a simple-minded person. He did persuade Madam Lan several times, but it seems that Madam Lan did not listen."

The nanny in Shen Yunran's room stood in front of a screen and nodded and bowed in reply.

A female voice came from behind the screen: "Just do it, don't worry about the rest."

Mammy said respectfully: "Yes, I will do it well!"

After saying that, he looked up with a look of hope!

A little girl came out, holding a purse: "This is a reward from the Madam!"

The nanny took the purse and smiled from ear to ear: "Madam is really a kind person. I will do my best to serve you!"

"I just feel sorry for your daughter. She is a daughter of a marquis family, but she ends up being neglected by her father and mother!" The woman behind the screen said with pity:

"She's worse than a bastard girl! Look at the child in the general's mansion. What was she like in the past? What is she like now? It's true that if she meets a noble person, she will soar to the sky. Your girl's wealth is the wealth of you slaves!"

Nanny's eyes sparkled: "Madam is right. I have to help Miss Ran for my own sake!"

"Well, you are a good person. Come to me if you have any problems. You will get the reward."

"Thank you, ma'am. You are the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering!" The nanny thanked her profusely and left.

"Fei Wan, are you really not going to tell your grandparents about this?"

Behind the screen, Madam Gu clutched her handkerchief, looking worried: "It doesn't matter if I follow you to fool around, but I'm afraid that if someone finds out, your reputation will be damaged. How can I face my family and explain it to them?"

"Don't worry, Second Aunt. This house is very hidden. Even if we find out, it is the private residence of an old eunuch in the palace. Who would think of us?"

Gu Feiwan smiled and comforted her, handing her a cup of hot tea in a flattering manner.

Madam Gu rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You were born into the wrong family. You should have been a boy!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Auntie!" Gu Feiwan shyly walked over, and as expected, a jade finger touched her forehead: "You are so shameless!"

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for helping me!"

"Why thank you? Even if you want to take over the Weiwu Marquisate, your grandparents, uncles, and brothers will only applaud and say hello. Why would you need to work so hard if they can do it? But I don't know why you are hiding this from them?"

"That was my past grudge, the hatred I felt when I was Xie Feiwan. I have to do it myself to resolve this knot in my heart!"

"I don't understand, but remember, if you have any problems, feel free to come to me. If you are bullied, you must come home and tell me. You are the future head of the Gu family, and you are the apple of our eye. You can't let anyone bully you!"

"Yes, I'll listen to my second aunt!" Gu Feiwan's mouth became sweet, without any need for honey.

Seeing that Madam Gu was still worried, Gu Feiwan quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the Spring Examination will be held in two days. Have the gifts for the two brothers been prepared? I have gifts for them!"

"This is their first spring exam. Your grandmother took it very seriously. She packed a whole box with fur knee pads. Your grandfather and uncles also picked out good writing materials. Your two brothers seemed fine. They ate and drank as usual, just like they did every day. Especially your second brother. He was still asleep when I went out today. I'm going to beat him up when I get back!"

When talking about her son, Mrs. Gu was clearly gritting her teeth, but she couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth!

"Brothers are confident and calm. This spring's imperial examination, the top and second place winners are both from our Gu family!"

Madam Gu laughed even more happily: "Your mouth has always been effective. I will wait for the reward money at home!"

"Of course, if there wasn't only one top scholar, my two brothers would both be top scholars!"

Madam Gu Er returned to the Gu Mansion and took out the gift from Gu Feiwan: "Mother, this is a gift from Feiwan to my two brothers. Look, I put a lot of thought into it!"

Madam Gu and Madam Gu took a look and saw that they were two small white porcelain bottles. When they opened the stoppers, a chill rushed to their heads.

Madam Gu shuddered. "What is this? Just one sniff has driven away my sleepiness!"

"Fei Wan said that this is a new plant offered by foreign countries. I picked the leaves, mashed them into juice, and added borneol and other things. It is a good thing to refresh the mind and get rid of odors. It can also drive away biting insects!" Madam Gu praised it highly:

"It was because Fei Wan cared about his brothers that he collected all the plants that were offered as sacrifices, and only got these two bottles. He didn't keep any for himself, and used them up with his brothers first!"

"How many pots have been offered as tribute by foreigners?" asked Old Madam Gu.

Madam Gu covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "There were only about ten pots in total, and Fei Wan plucked them all!"

"This child is really outrageous!" Old Madam Gu scolded with a smile: "It's only because the Queen is pampering her!"

"Mother, please don't scold Fei Wan. If Jiusi and Shi'an hear it, they won't agree!" Madam Gu said with a smile.

"You all indulge her, and when she becomes lawless, I will settle the score with you!" Old Madam Gu pretended to be angry.

"It's not too late to be favored. Who in the family can compare to you, mother?" Madam Gu covered her mouth and laughed the most happily.

"By the way, Guaiguai, why did you come to me? Why didn't you come home? Did I come to you today just for these two porcelain bottles?" Mrs. Gu came back to her senses and asked a series of questions.

Madam Gu's laughter froze on her face: "This..."
