Chapter 722: Chapter 350 Godmother_3

Lady Cui hesitated, "I don’t curry favor with the elders, what advantages can Lady Qin and Lady Lin actually gain?"

Liang Jinyu responded, "The advantages are significant. The less the mother wins the elders’ favor and the more estranged she becomes from the eldest brother and his wife, especially if she becomes enemies with the eldest sister-in-law, the more isolated and helpless she will be, and the more she will depend on the third brother and his wife..."

Lady Cui was not foolish, just that a series of blows had made her lose her bearings, and years of trust in Maternal Aunt Qin had prevented her from thinking it through. Upon hearing her daughter’s words, she began to ponder.

Liang Jinyu continued, "Maybe in the past, Maternal Aunt Qin really did rely entirely on you with all her heart. But now that the third brother has grown up and become accomplished, her ambitions as his birth mother have grown too. She certainly hopes that you will focus all your attention on the third brother, with Lady Lin assisting you in managing the inner court. You control not only the household affairs but also possess a great deal of private property. Maternal Aunt Qin didn’t have a dowry, and the third brother’s wife’s family is not wealthy... Mother, the eldest brother is your true son, and the eldest sister-in-law is your direct daughter-in-law, carrying the grandchild who continues your bloodline. I’m not saying this to sow discord between you and the third brother. I know that my eldest brother lived outside the residence for most of his life, and I also grew up in Wanshou Hall, with almost only the third brother keeping you company and taking your worries away. I believe that the third brother still respects you and doesn’t have too many ulterior motives. But I can’t say the same for Maternal Aunt Qin and the third sister-in-law. At the very least, the advice they’ve given you is not well-intentioned..."

Sister Huang prepared the rose syrup and poured it into a clear, small glass bowl, filling it to the brim with a translucent rose-red liquid, topped with a sprinkle of white coconut powder.

She set the tray down and placed two bowls of rose syrup on the table. She also spoke up, "Madame, please consider Miss’s advice. The suggestion made by Maternal Aunt Qin, I too find it somewhat harmful. The Master and Mistress are newlyweds, still in warm affection. Besides, the Master is of a cool temperament, and aside from the Mistress, I really haven’t seen him take a liking to any other girl..."

In the evening, Liang Jinyu had someone report back to Wanshou Hall that she would stay in the main residence for dinner.

The meal had just been served on the heated brick bed in the eastern room when Liang Jinzhao arrived, carrying a jar in his hand. He smiled, "I’ve arrived just in time, you haven’t started eating yet." He placed the jar on the table and said, "This is the lotus seed and carp soup Yixiu had someone prepare this afternoon; the lotus seeds are top grade. Not only does it taste good, but it also beautifies and nourishes the complexion. She asked me to bring it to mother."

Liang Jinyu smiled, a crescent shape forming in her eyes, "I’m lucky to be here today." Then she said to Lady Cui, "Ever since the eldest sister-in-law entered the family, even if she doesn’t go out, she hasn’t stopped paying respects to mother."

The group chatted until late before the siblings left the residence. Liang Jinzhao escorted his sister back to Wanshou Hall, and the two of them whispered together all the way. The main topic was Lady Cui, whose days were not easy, and how they might help her stand tall again.

Liang Jinzhao, normally preoccupied with official duties and seldom at home, simply didn’t understand the intricacies of a great household. After hearing some things, he felt truly uncomfortable for a while.

The next day, the rain turned heavy, pouring down for most of the day, before suddenly ceasing, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky.

Qian Yixiu gazed up from the corridor at the sky for a long time, beholding the rainbow, freshly splendid against the washed, jade-like expanse. Even after ten years since her transmigration, she still marveled at such natural spectacles.

She was dressed in a goose-yellow embroidered satin short coat that fit her snugly, making her slightly protruding belly and rounded waistline more noticeable. Qian Yixiu felt she was growing too quickly; at just over three months, she already looked like others at four.

She didn’t want to wear the short coat, as wearing a jacket and skirt wouldn’t make it so conspicuous. But Sister Zeng insisted, wishing everyone would notice her belly at first glance.

She kept persuading her, "This is good news, there’s no need to hide it. By doing this, not only will the Princely Heir be pleased, but the elders will also be happy. Some people, even before showing, can’t wait to stick out their bellies outside..."

PS: Thank you for the rewards and monthly tickets, thank you~ Special thanks to Hera@Qianlin for the He’s Jade Bi, I am extremely grateful. I did not expect that now people would still give Qing Quan such great rewards, I am moved. It’s just that Qing Quan’s cold has not yet fully recovered, today is an effortful update. Tomorrow, Qing Quan will add an update specifically for Hera@Qianlin. Also, special thanks to Hera@Qianlin, who almost every day just after midnight provides Qing Quan with encouragement, sticking to it for hundreds of days, my heartfelt thanks. Once Qing Quan is completely well, I will also add an update for you. There are too many people to thank, thank you all for your support along the way, in various forms, I will always remember it in my heart. Originally, I wanted to briefly write a section of the plot, but as I started, I realized that some parts indeed can’t be skipped, such as Lady Cui...
