Chapter 331: Heart of Jade 3
Although he knew Yuanniang's true situation, Changran was still very nice to her.
In ancient times, the wife had to help manage the household affairs, take care of the concubines and illegitimate children, and take the initiative to help her husband take a concubine when necessary. It was not easy.
During the first month of their marriage, except when Yuanniang had her period, Changran stayed in the main room. This gave Yuanniang the dignity of being the main wife, and also helped to cultivate feelings with her.
In the following period, he would stay in the main house for more than twenty days every month.
Yuanniang had just married into the Xu family, and Changran was nice to her, so she didn't cause trouble for Aunt Qin.
On the second day after she got married, she took the initiative to propose that Shi Liu be made her concubine.
Changran also reported the matter of Concubine Wen to Yuanniang. Now that Concubine Wen was out, he wanted to save face for both parties and didn't want to promote Concubine Wen before marrying her.
The second reason is that Madam Wen comes from a merchant family and has a business mind. She wants him to manage his private property, which makes it more convenient for him to do things outside.
Yuanniang is in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard of the fourth house. The puppet is in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard. His own private property is now managed by Concubine Wen.
Before Yuanniang married in, Changran had a private talk with Aunt Qin and told her about his plans after marriage.
The more face you give to the Madam, and the less she feels threatened in her position, the easier the concubines' lives will be. And if the Madam gives birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible, they can also have their own children as soon as possible.
Chang Ran works so hard because he wants to reduce conflicts in the backyard so that everyone can live in peace.
Half a year later, Yuanniang became pregnant, and Changran would often go with her for walks and meals.
Madam Wen also took this opportunity to enter the mansion and became a madam.
Yuanniang felt that she was powerless and proposed to take Biyu as her concubine. Changran refused directly and said that she would not accept any maids around her, not just Biyu.
Changran let Yuanniang's maid be his concubine, and felt that this concubine was not his own, but Yuanniang's. The other party would follow Yuanniang's lead, and he didn't like this feeling.
After Yuanniang became pregnant, Changran thought of He's Medical Clinic and asked the little puppet to help monitor it. If he found any similar incidents as Qiao Lianfang's replacement of medicines, he would spread it out.
The whole capital was shaken by this. How clean could anyone's backyard be? Everyone was thinking about what happened at home before, and whether it was because of this.
He's Clinic was ordered to be rectified. Ming Jing had done something similar and was detained. Chang Ran didn't care as he thought the other party would be silenced next.
What Qiao Lianfang's mother did was also exposed this time. She was locked up in the ancestral hall by the Qiao family. Because Mrs. Qiao had a close relationship with the Yongping Marquis's Mansion, she was only announced to the public that she was sick and resting in bed.
Even so, other wealthy families also guessed the reason.
Qiao Lianfang was also implicated by this incident, and her reputation plummeted. These wealthy families would probably not marry her off to their sons, fearing that marrying her would cause unrest in the family.
When Xu's mother heard about this, she was very depressed. She didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to act like this. She was not as close to Qiao Lianfang as before.
Yuanniang was shocked when she heard about He's Clinic. She had thought about going to the clinic to ask for some miraculous medicine. If the other party had not been exposed now, she didn't know whether she would be harmed in the future.
With Changran around, nothing would happen to her, and the baby would be fine. Zhun Ge gave birth at full term this time, and was in very good health.
After Yuanniang became pregnant, Qin Yi Niang stopped giving her the contraceptive soup and Chang Ran hired a doctor to take care of her body. They also agreed that they would wait two years until her health improved and the two children were older, and then they could have another child.
Changran also told Madam Wen in advance that Madam Qin had followed her earlier, so she would have her next child after Madam Qin gave birth.
Now that Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen are managing the shop vigorously, they can accept this.
