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

Nanny Wu talked about many things that needed to be prepared in the mansion, but Liu Biyan didn't want to listen.

She never worried about these things at home. Even after she came of age, her parents wanted her to learn some household chores, but Liu Biyan was unwilling to do so.

She was born to read and write poetry, to be a talented woman with a wealth of knowledge. How could she be entangled in mundane affairs?

"Since you know, Mammy, then go and prepare. What are you saying to me here?"

What Liu Biyan was thinking was that after the rain stopped, the lake at the door would be filled with mist, like misty clouds, which would be a perfect scene for writing poems and painting.

She is probably the only place in Wuzhou where one can drink tea, play the zither, and compose poems at the same time.

Wouldn't it be a waste of such an elegant event if we didn't invite a few noble ladies in the city to enjoy it together?

But if you want to invite someone to your house, you need some money as a base.

From small things like tea and snacks to big things like decorating the rooms for guests to rest, and even the prizes after the poems and paintings, all of them cost a lot of money!

But Liu Biyan felt that she was being shameless, and while she was cuddling with the general at night, she euphemistically told him several times that she needed to buy new clothes and jewelry. However, he was a warrior after all, and he only knew how to use his strength recklessly, but could not understand the hidden meaning of his words.

"Auntie, these expenses are quite high!" Aunt Wu kept glancing at Liu Biyan.

Liu Biyan was even more upset when she heard this: "Go to the account office and ask for some money. Why are you bothering me with all these mundane matters?"

Madam Wu's mouth was more bitter than coptis: "Aunt, when I went to withdraw money to buy bird's nests yesterday, the accountant said that these expenses will have to be stopped in the future. The expenses for the old master should be given first!"

"What?" Liu Biyan exploded when she heard it!

She was carrying a precious baby, the general's biological son, and the future heir of the Sheng family!

Chen Bochang promised Liu Biyan that as long as she gave birth to a son and got the Qiuyuezui trigger from Sheng Bingwen, her child would be the heir of the Sheng family.

This is the agreement reached between Chen Bochang and Sheng Bingwen!

Qiuyuezui was once very popular in Jiangnan, attracting high-ranking officials and nobles to scramble to buy it.

It is said that it has a mellow taste and a refreshing aroma, and is much better than other fine wines from Jiangnan!

Although Qiuyuezui is now sold in Sheng Yanhua's restaurant, everyone says that it lacks the original flavor!

It is conceivable how much money the real Qiuyuezui would earn if it were to come out again!

"Dare to stop my allowance? He doesn't want to stay in this house anymore!" Liu Biyan was furious, but fortunately, all those years of studying were not in vain.

She rolled her eyes and put her hand on Aunt Wu's wrist: "Let's go, we haven't visited Grandpa today, it's time to go and greet him!"

Sheng Bingwen has been bedridden since the heavy rain began. His main problem is his heart and lungs. The continuous heavy rain has made the air thick and sticky. He becomes breathless after walking a few steps.

The recipes for these days' decoctions have been changed, with a few more precious medicinal ingredients added, and the food for three meals a day has become more refined.

Seeing Liu Biyan coming in, Sheng Bingwen forced himself to cheer her up: "Xiaoyan is here, just go sit by the window. You are different now, don't let me get sick!"

Liu Biyan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but she still bowed straight and said, "Grandfather, you are really embarrassing me by saying this. As a junior, I should be filial to you. It's just that I haven't been feeling well in the past two days. I was afraid that Grandfather would be worried, so I didn't come!"

As soon as he said this, Sheng Bingwen became anxious: "What's wrong? Have you asked a doctor to take a look?"

Liu Biyan lowered her head and said nothing. Nanny Wu quickly said, "We did call a doctor, but maybe because our eyesight is not good, the doctor couldn't tell us anything. He just told us to rest and said that the lakeside is too humid, so it's best to move to a drier place..."

When Sheng Bingwen heard that the doctor he had invited was not good, he thought for a moment and said, "Fei Wan has a female doctor from the capital who specializes in women's pregnancy. You can ask her to come and take a look."

Nanny Wu sighed: "If the old master hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have wanted to say it. I just came back from the pomegranate garden, and the mistress..."

At this point, Nanny Wu glanced over secretly, only to see Sheng Bingwen remained silent. She then glanced at Liu Biyan.

Liu Biyan's fingers moved slightly, and Nanny Wu took the hint and continued, "The mistress said that she couldn't leave without someone by her side, so it was not convenient to ask Doctor Song to come over for a consultation. I begged her, but the maidservant next to the mistress, Qingshuang, drove me out and said..."

"say what?"

Hearing Sheng Bingwen's question, Nanny Wu was overjoyed and quickly replied, "They said Aunt Liu is a shameless whore!"

Sheng Bingwen's face was filled with anger, not because he felt sorry for Liu Biyan, but because Liu Biyan had a bad reputation and it was the baby in her belly that was affected!

What Sheng Bingwen wanted was a child who could inherit his legacy. If the child was saddled with a bad reputation before he was even born, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?

What's more, in order to have this child, not only did he offend Gu Feiwan, but he was also afraid that Ning Weizhou would blame him in the future!

Seeing this, Nanny Wu became even bolder: "I dare not deceive the old master. I beg the mistress. If Doctor Song cannot leave Liuyuan, then our concubine can go to Liuyuan for treatment. Even if the road is difficult, it is always for the sake of the child in her belly. Aunt Liu is willing to endure this hardship! But..."

"Don't hesitate, just speak!" Sheng Bingwen lost his temper.

Madam Wu said quickly, "The mistress said that the Pomegranate Garden is her mother's house and outsiders are not allowed to enter! Aunt Liu is not allowed to step in!"

"She also said that even if anything happens to Aunt Liu's baby, it's none of her business!"

Liu Biyan raised her head slightly and saw a look of satisfaction on Sheng Bingwen's face!

Sheng Bingwen was obviously very angry, his face was pale and blue.

Liu Biyan winked at Madam Wu again, and Madam Wu understood: "Just now, I went to the account office to advance Madam Liu's share, and the accountant said that from now on, Madam Liu's share will be reduced by half, and she will only be given rice and flour for daily consumption. The bird's nest and other things she used to have will not be given at all. I don't know if I said something wrong in the pomegranate garden and made the mistress angry. The accountant said that the account book of this house is managed by the mistress!"

Liu Biyan took out a handkerchief and covered her eyes: "I don't care about bird's nests or anything like that, but even though I'm a concubine, the baby I'm carrying is at least the general's own flesh and blood. If I let people look down on me like this, I'm afraid that when the child is born, it will be even worse than the slaves in the Liuyuan!"

"As long as I live, this place will be called Sheng! It's not the turn of the Gu family to make the decision!" Sheng Bingwen shouted outside twice: "Someone come! Someone come!"

A man who looked like a servant ran in and asked, "What do you want, old master?"

"Go to Liuyuan and tell her that it was my idea to ask Xiaozhou's wife to hand over the account books here. I will give them to Aunt Liu to manage in the future!"

The servant turned his head and looked at Liu Biyan with a complicated expression!

Sheng Bingwen urged: "Go quickly!"
