Chapter 724: Chapter 351 Mr. Qian and Yueniang_2

Liang Jinyu smiled, then took Qian Yixiu to another room to whisper.

Old Duke Liang stroked his beard and laughed, "This girl, just as the Old Fairy predicted, is blessed. She got pregnant as soon as she walked through the door." He still used the old way of addressing her.

The family elder glanced at the Eldest Old Lady and said to Old Duke Liang, "The luckiest one is your wife. Ever since she married into this family, she has never had to worry about anything."

The Eldest Old Lady quickly stood up, anxiously saying, "As a daughter-in-law, I’ve been lazy, having my mother-in-law make decisions for me."

The family elder said, "Sit down, I’m not blaming you. Ever since you were young, you’ve been sincere and genuine, virtuous and well-mannered, which is much better than those who are worrisome and think they are clever. What I want to say is, after I die, you should consult more with the Qian clan when managing the inner court affairs. That child has a just heart and a generous spirit, without any personal agendas. Let her assist you in managing this household well, so you don’t hold back the men." She sighed and said, "The daughters-in-law in our family are not of ill intent, but they do have their little schemes. It’s okay to have little schemes, for water that’s too clear has no fish. As the person in charge, you have to be well aware yet pretend to be confused. How to strike this balance..."

The Old Madam was teaching the Eldest Old Lady the principles of household management, and before long, the Second Old Lady, Lady Zhang, Lady Xia, Lady Cui, and others had all arrived.

In the other room, amidst the laughter of Lady Zhang and Lady Xia, Liang Jinyu sighed softly and said, "Elder sister, although our mother has done some things to hurt you, please forgive her for the sake of my elder brother and me. After I leave, only you can support her in the inner court."

Qian Yixiu nodded and said, "Young aunt, rest assured, as her daughter-in-law, I will naturally advance and retreat together with her."

When the two returned to the main room, everyone was quite surprised to see the size of Qian Yixiu’s belly, even Lady Cui couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. Lady Zhang and Lady Xia naturally praised Qian Yixiu a lot, saying that if the parents are strong, the child will be healthy, the belly is pointed, it looks like a male child, and so on, making the Old Madam laugh heartily.

Qian Yixiu thought to herself that this was Lady Zhang and Lady Xia’s cleverness, they knew that the Old Madam and Old Duke liked family harmony; while they undercut Lady Cui, they also supported Lady Cui’s daughter-in-law. It gave people the impression that they were impartial, just straightforward and fair.

When the men returned, Old Duke Liang was seen talking and laughing about the situation at the court with his sons and grandsons. It seemed that Emperor Qianwu had accepted Liang Jinzhao’s proposal and decided to vigorously develop the Maritime Fleet, having already ordered the Ministry of Trades and Crafts and the Ministry of War to accelerate preparations in this area. Even the newly appointed Seventh-rank Official of the Supervisory Court, Liang Jinchen, spoke enthusiastically, while Master Duke Liang Yiqian, on the other hand, looked around restlessly, not speaking, as if he was in a spat with someone.

Him acting like that caused both Old Duke Liang and the family elder to frown.

Qian Yixiu was filled with emotion. A few years ago, when Duke Liang had achieved his ambitions, Auntie Cui was bright and spirited. Auntie Cui had an excuse for being disheartened, as she had faced great misfortune. But Duke Liang, merely because he had fallen from the peak of power, couldn’t get over it, which was uncharacteristic of the son raised by Old Fox Liang. Perhaps his path had been too smooth before; facing a sudden shock, he couldn’t handle it.

After the meal, the family elder and Old Duke Liang kept Duke Liang behind, while everyone else returned to their respective courtyards.

Liang Jinchen told Lady Lin to go back first; he then helped Lady Cui to the main courtyard. Half an hour later, Liang Jinchen left and went to Lianxiang Courtyard.

Liang Jinzhao had thought he came to play chess with him, so he hurriedly invited him to sit, had a servants set up the chessboard, and asked Qian Yixiu to bring out the fine Golden Moth Tea for the guest.

Liang Jinchen didn’t sit but instead blushed and bowed to Liang Jinzhao and Qian Yixiu, saying, "Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, please be magnanimous and don’t take issue with them. The hearts of those women are as tiny as the eye of a needle," he glanced at Qian Yixiu and hurriedly added, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean you, elder sister-in-law. You are a ’man among women,’ naturally incomparable to ordinary women. I’ve already spoken to Lady Lin and Maternal Aunt Qin..."

Liang Jinzhao quickly waved his hand and said, "Third brother, talking like this is treating us like outsiders. We are brothers, and nobody can destroy our fraternal bond. When I was not around, it was you who was filial to our mother. Elder brother knows your heart."

Liang Jinchen was touched and said, "Thank you for your understanding, elder brother. I have just been to our mother’s to ask for forgiveness, and she is generous..."
