Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 179: Want to save face
Nanny Wu bowed again and then repeated her purpose:
"Madam Liu has been sleeping restlessly since she became pregnant. We asked a doctor to see her, and he said it was because of the heavy humidity near the lake. We didn't want to bother the mistress, but it has rained heavily for several days, and the lake has risen sharply, flooding the rice fields behind. The old master in the mansion has been affected by the humidity, and he has been coughing more frequently in the past few days!"
"After much consideration, Aunt Liu has come to ask the mistress what is the proper way to deal with this matter. It doesn't matter to her, but she is afraid that something will happen to the old master and the baby in her belly, and she will not be able to explain to the general."
After Nanny Wu finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Gu Feiwan.
She had made special inquiries before coming to the Liuyuan, and everyone in the mansion said that the mistress was easy to get along with.
She didn't have a bad temper and seldom left the yard during the few days she lived there. She was filial to the old master, but she was a little narrow-minded. On the second day after Aunt Liu entered the mansion, the mistress moved out without saying a word, which made the old master so angry that he grumbled for several days. Even the general rarely visited the mistress.
But Aunt Liu said that they act according to the rules, and as long as they don't break etiquette, it will work anywhere!
Since Gu Feiwan married the general, she is half a member of the Sheng family!
It makes no sense that the elders should live uncomfortably while she, a junior, can live comfortably in a big house in the city.
Besides, although the rain is lighter now, the dam has burst upstream and the lake water is still rising.
The lakeside houses usually have elegant scenery and fresh air, which is very suitable for self-cultivation.
But it’s not a good place to live now. If the lake water rises suddenly and floods the house, it would be a matter of life and death!
Nanny Wu knew that Liu Biyan was a person with great potential, and she had already told Ning Weizhou about the idea of moving to Liuyuan.
Through the screen, Nanny Wu only heard what the general said vaguely, but she could not resist Liu Biyan's tenderness and finally agreed.
But they had been waiting for four or five days, and there was no movement from the pomegranate garden. The general was busy with disaster relief and seldom went home. Even when he went home, he only went to the old man's room and left in a hurry. They didn't even see each other!
Liu Biyan couldn't wait any longer. She didn't dare sleep for several nights. She asked people to check the lake every hour, fearing that the water would flood in.
Nanny Wu was also troubled and couldn't sleep well at night, so when Liu Biyan asked her to come to Liuyuan to find Gu Feiwan directly, she came without any delay.
"I hope the mistress will show some sympathy. After all, we are a family. We can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
As soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, she heard a sneer from the head of the group:
"This nanny's words are really funny. What is the status of my daughter? She doesn't even need to bow in front of the queen. You want to climb up the social ladder, but you should take a piss and look at your own moral character!"
Nanny Wu's face changed. The rumors outside were indeed true. This woman from the capital was not as gentle as the woman from Jiangnan, and her words were too vulgar!
No wonder the general dotes on Liu Biyan so much. Which man doesn’t like a gentle and considerate woman?
"Qingshuang!" Nanny Zhu scolded, then turned to Nanny Wu and said, "This sister is right. It's a good thing that Aunt Liu wants to be filial. She deserves the reputation of a talented woman in Jiangnan!"
"But!" Nanny Zhu raised her lips slightly, with a look of contempt: "Your Aunt Liu may not know that this Liuyuan is the home of our daughter's family, not the Ning family, let alone the Sheng family! Her filial piety will not be to use the Gu family's wealth to make money, right?"
"Do you have such rules in Jiangnan? Then I'm going to go out and ask to see if this is a Jiangnan custom or just the Liu family's teaching!"
Nanny Wu's face turned red and white, and the veins on her clasped hands were twisted out!
Gu Feiwan suppressed his laughter and asked someone to bring the silver over:
"Aunt Liu is a good person. She is the one who takes care of my grandfather. I am in a heavy body now. I can't walk more than a few steps without breathing heavily. I have been lying down for most of the day. Liuyuan is my mother's property. I am just staying there temporarily. There are uncles and brothers in my mother's family. As a junior, I cannot make decisions on my own. So, I will immediately write a letter to the capital to inform my family of Aunt Liu's intention. When the elders in the family make up their minds, I will send someone to reply to Aunt Liu in time."
"Here is a hundred taels of silver. Originally, I couldn't afford to give it to you, but please tell Madam Wu that the general doesn't come here often now, and his salary is all spent on... I have a hard time covering all the expenses here. Take this silver back with you, and let Aunt Liu and Grandpa find an inn to stay in first. Wait until the reply from the capital arrives, and then make plans!"
How could Nanny Wu be willing to accept this money?
There are so many people in the house by the lake. How long can one hundred taels of silver be enough for the whole family to stay in the inn?
Besides, Aunt Liu has to save her reputation. If she were to stay in an inn while pregnant, she'd be better off dead!
The most proud thing for the Liu and Chen families now is that Liu Biyan married Ning Weizhou.
Whenever he told others that his daughter was so favored in the Sheng family that even the mistress could not resist and had to live in another mansion, what an honor it was!
Even if Liu Biyan is willing to stay in the inn, the people from the Liu and Chen families will not agree!
"Madam, do you think it's too little?" Gu Feiwan's face turned cold. Madam Wu was about to speak, but she saw Gu Feiwan threw the handkerchief and covered her eyes:
"Forget it. Now that I am not favored by the general, even a servant dares to go against me. If it were not for the child in my belly, I would jump into the lake and put an end to it all. I would also avoid being an eyesore to others and taking up their place!"
Qingshuang and Nanny Zhu hurried to comfort her, but Gu Feiwan seemed very sad and turned behind the screen crying.
Leaving Ma Wu alone in the hall, stunned!
"Mammy, aren't you leaving yet?"
After a while, Qingshuang came out, rolled up her sleeves, and put her hands on her waist:
"My daughter is weak and can be bullied, but I am not someone you can bully. I'm going to make this clear today. Anyone in the lakeside house who dares to enter the gate of Liuyuan will have his legs broken!"
"roll!"
Madam Wu was pushed out by Qingshuang, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Before leaving, she glanced at the one hundred taels of silver on the table.
"What are you looking at? I wouldn't give it to you guys even if I gave it to the homeless people on the street. You are a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
Qingshuang pushed the man out, slammed the door shut, and cursed through the crack in the door:
"A whore who talks about courtesy and righteousness!"
Nanny Wu was so angry that she fell backwards!
If there weren't two ferocious-looking guards standing at the gate of the durian garden, she really wanted to turn around and rush over to give them a good scolding!
No matter what, her daughter is a talented woman known in Jiangnan. She has been well-educated since she was a child and can recite a women's book by heart.
If the Chen family hadn't said that Ning Weizhou was a high-ranking official in the capital, and that as long as he got married, he would be able to enjoy a good life in the capital in the future, and if he was more capable, the whole family would prosper, her daughter would never have become a concubine!
Only merchant girls like Gu Jia's are so vulgar!
