Chapter 248: Praise the Group Niuniu

After all the doctors left, it was unknown how long it had passed. Madam Qian fell asleep thinking about Zhang Yunniang's words that she should rest more during the confinement period.

Madam Qian had a dream.

There was no Zhang Yunniang and Niuniu in the dream. Li only came when she took her third bath. She continued to eat "tonic soup" without knowing it, and suddenly had a hemorrhage before she was out of the confinement period.

When her daughter was two or three months old, she died because of a high fever and was not treated in time.

A year after her death, her husband remarried Liu Ruyi. The couple loved and lived in harmony, and soon forgot about her old lover.

Madam Qian woke up from the nightmare. It was clearly broad daylight, but she was scared and sweating.

When she thought of the death of both mother and daughter in the dream, she was full of resentment.

"Madam, please eat something. Your body is important. Even if you can't eat, you have to eat. Madam Gu said that you have to take care of your body. Think more about the young lady..." The personal maid advised softly.

Mrs. Qian lost her appetite due to the nightmare, but she could hear the crying of a child and the sound of the nurse humming a ballad to comfort the child.

Mrs. Qian slowly came back to her senses. She looked at the maid beside her, and after a long time, she finally made a decision: "Tomorrow you go to the human traffickers to buy a girl yourself. You must choose a girl with a kind temperament and a pretty appearance. Don't choose the kind of girl who hides evil inside. Forget it, buy more, at least pick two."

Mrs. Qian suffered too many shocks today, and the whole person was like being poured with a basin of cold water, from head to toe.

Although everyone around her told her that her husband respected and loved her very much, and her husband in the dream seemed to be nothing unusual, and even kept filial piety for her for a year.

But Mrs. Qian didn't dare to gamble.

She was born in a wealthy merchant family. In the past, because of her rich dowry, her husband loved her a lot, but after her husband passed the imperial examination and became an official, even her father had to be cautious when talking to her husband.

She knew better than anyone how much her husband hoped for a son. Instead of the couple being separated in the future, it would be better to give him a concubine now.

Lord Qian came back in the evening. He went to the old lady in the backyard first, had dinner, and then came to the main room.

Because Madam Qian kept it a secret, the inner house was full of her dowry servants. Liu Ruyi didn't know that she had been exposed. Instead, she instigated the old lady to accuse Madam Qian of wasting money by hiring a bunch of doctors in front of Lord Qian.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell today?" Lord Qian asked about Madam Qian's doctor.

Madam Qian immediately broke the big news today.

Lord Qian was just asking for routine questions and was not prepared to accept this big news.

"I won't let my cousin cook soup for you in the future. She may not know the inside story and is confused..." Lord Qian's first reaction was to smooth things over. After all, Madam Qian is not dead now, and the old lady has always loved Liu Ruyi.

Although Madam Qian was mentally prepared, she still felt a chill on her back at this time.

She took his official reputation as taught by Li.

Without any hesitation, Lord Qian changed his words on the spot: "You are right. Such a vicious woman must not stay with my mother. Tomorrow I will find someone to send her back to her hometown and hand her over to the Liu family to deal with her."

The Liu family swallowed up Liu Ruyi's property. They were a group of jackals and tigers. If she went back now, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. The end can be imagined.

Mrs. Qian suddenly figured it out.

Whether it was herself, Liu Ruyi, or even her own mother in the backyard, in the eyes of her husband, they might not be as important as his career.

When Mrs. Qian thought of this, she suddenly felt that what she was going to say didn't seem so painful.

"I'm not feeling well now, so I want to take two concubines for you, what do you think?"

Mr. Qian was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he said, "Madam, you just have to make the decision on matters in the back house."

Although Madam Qian had expected this reaction, she was still disappointed. She told herself that she would only treat her husband as a tool to seek wealth and honor for her daughter in the future, and not to give her true heart anymore.

After Zhang Yunniang and her group left the Qian Mansion, they boarded the carriage.

Niuniu looked at the unhappy faces of the two mothers and asked in confusion, "Why are you unhappy?"

Zhang Yunniang didn't know what to say for a while. It was not easy to tell Niuniu directly about the secrets of the inner house.

Niuniu held up a set of jade ornaments in the shape of small animals in her hand and said, "Mom, Aunt Qian is so kind. This is what she gave me!"

Madam Qian saw Niuniu playing with the ornaments all the time, and thought she liked them, so she gave them directly to Niuniu.

Not only this set of ornaments, she also gave many gifts to thank Zhang Yunniang for saving her life.

Zhang Yunniang still felt uneasy and asked Li: "Did I say something wrong before? Although I saved Madam Qian, will it be a burden to you?"

Li shook her head and said: "Don't worry, she is not that kind of person. There are too many secrets in the inner house. Even if it is spread out, it is just a few gossips. Madam Qian knows the difference between the important and the unimportant."

"Besides, if you really want to say it is a burden, it is me who is a burden to you. I originally thought that I could not only solve Madam Qian's urgent needs, but also let you show your strengths, but I didn't expect that the first move would involve the secrets of the inner house."

Although Li didn't say it clearly, Zhang Yunniang understood that Li did this to let Zhang Yunniang take more gifts of thanks.

This time she went to Madam Qian's house. Not counting the jade ornaments in Niuniu's hand, the other gifts were worth two or three hundred taels of silver.

She only spent a whole morning and said a few words there and gained so much, which shows how easy it is to make money from these ladies.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but sighed when she thought of this, and said, "I used to think that women who lived in a big house and were served by a bunch of maids and servants had no worries. Now I think that family harmony seems to be more important than more money."

Li nodded with deep feeling.

Niuniu raised her little face and said, "So what mother did today was to help Aunt Qian's family harmony. You are so great!"

Zhang Yunniang didn't expect that her daughter in the praise group could find a tricky reason to praise herself. She hurriedly explained, "My dear, mother didn't help your Aunt Qian's family harmony today. What mother did today was to help your Aunt Qian get well."

Zhang Yunniang thought that she should not do such things in the future.

"No?" Niuniu was puzzled.

Zhang Yunniang was about to nod.

Li said, "Yes, you did help her in this way."

Zhang Yunniang was full of doubts.

Li continued, "I know you're thinking of quitting because of what happened today, but think about it carefully. Mrs. Qian has thought it through and is clear-headed. She will naturally know how to handle family affairs in the future. Isn't that a harmonious family? Her situation at home has also become better!"

"Not to mention, you really saved the lives of Mrs. Qian and her daughter."

Niuniu immediately followed Li and said loudly, "Mom saved two lives. Mom is a great hero!"
