Chapter 100 Worry
Concubine Li also has troubles.
The reason was simple: this time when my mother came, she actually brought my sixth sister with her.
The sixth sister is now in her prime, graceful and elegant, but when she stands there, she is like a crescent moon in the sky.
Concubine Li's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, then she sent her out.
"Sixth sister, you haven't seen your niece yet, right? Someone, take the young lady over to see her."
The sixth sister's voice was also like the melodious lark, clear and pleasant, and she bowed to her obediently: "Sister, I'll go see my niece first, and come back later."
She knew that her sister and stepmother must have something to say.
Watching her slender and beautiful figure disappear, Concubine Li retracted her gaze and said, "Mother, why did you bring Sixth Sister here?"
Facing her daughter's gaze, Li's mother felt a little reluctant, but she still hardened her heart and said.
"This is what your father meant. You are old now, so ask your sister to come over so that she can help you. Who knows, you might be able to give birth to another son who can help Zhi'er."
Hearing this, Concubine Li's heart sank.
She said in disbelief: "I only gave birth to a daughter, I can still have another one, and besides, don't I have a wise child?"
"There's only one child, how can it be enough?" Many children die young. If something unexpected happens, there won't even be any alternative options.
There are many cases where children fail to grow up due to various accidents. In ordinary families, if three of six children can survive and grow up, it is considered good. Take Li's mother herself as an example. She lived a life of luxury in the marquis's mansion, but two of her children still died.
As for the concubines in the backyard, even more children died, and Li's mother couldn't even count them.
But now she was facing her own daughter, so Mother Li couldn't say that. She gently comforted her excited daughter and explained, "If you two sisters are together and help each other, won't you have more children?"
Who wants to have a baby with her?
Concubine Li was very reluctant, "Mother, please stop talking, I won't agree"
She couldn't help but ask, "Can't you marry your daughter off properly? Why do you have to give her away to be someone's mistress?"
This is true for her, and for her younger sisters as well.
Concubine Li said without thinking: "Is there someone who likes boys? Will you ask your younger brothers to be their mistresses?"
"How can this be?"
Li's mother immediately retorted, her face full of bitterness: "Aren't you tearing out my mother's heart by saying this?
You know the situation in our house, how can we afford dowries for you sisters?"
Maybe she would have believed this when she was a girl, but Concubine Li would not believe it now. Who doesn’t even have the money to marry off their daughter?
This is not how you usually eat, dress and spend your money.
It was obvious that he was trying to climb up the social ladder, and Concubine Li knew it very well.
But no matter what, she would not let the sixth sister in. No, she would not agree to it no matter which sister it was.
Seeing her daughter's determination, Li's mother tried to persuade her daughter earnestly, "Why not ask your sixth sister to live with you first, saying that she is here to help take care of the child?"
This way, when mother returns, she can give an explanation to your father."
"What do you want to explain?"
Concubine Li was furious: "Go back and tell father that I don't agree, and the prince won't agree either."
Seeing her tough attitude, Li's mother had no choice but to give up.
However, before she left, in front of the servants in the yard, Li's mother suddenly knelt down in front of her and said, "My concubine, I beg you, please help me just this once."
Concubine Li was shocked, but fortunately the maids around her were smart and quickly supported Li's mother so that she did not really kneel down to her daughter.
She felt very disappointed. Did her mother care about her at all?
If word of this got out, Concubine Li would have forced her mother to kneel in public, and her reputation as an unfilial person would have been completely ruined.
Doesn’t the mother consider these issues?
No, she considered it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately forced her here. This move is really cruel!
No, Concubine Li heard her own cold voice: "In that case, go to Princess Bingming. If she agrees, Sixth Sister can stay here."
Soon news came from the main courtyard that the princess agreed.
Only then did Li's mother breathe a sigh of relief, holding Concubine Li with one hand and her sixth daughter with the other.
"You are all good children. Sixth girl, you will live with your sister from now on. You must be obedient and take good care of your sister, understand?"
Miss Li Liu was wearing the pink dress she had carefully dressed up for when she came. She looked pure and innocent. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, mother."
She raised her eyes timidly again and glanced at Concubine Li carefully: "My daughter will take good care of big sister."
Mother Li finally accomplished her purpose and was in a good mood. She looked at Concubine Li with a bright smile on her face and said angrily, "Child, why don't you know how to talk?"
Concubine Li said calmly, "My daughter is not talkative."
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Your mother will tell you on her own initiative." Li's mother looked doting, as if she didn't take her daughter's disrespect to heart.
After sending the people away, Concubine Li was supported by two maids and turned back to the house.
It had only been a few days since she gave birth and she was still in confinement. It was the right time for her to stay in her room and take good care of herself.
If it wasn't for seeing her mother off, she wouldn't have forced herself to go out.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the room, she turned around and looked at her half-sister who was standing alone in the yard with a bewildered expression.
He pointed at a little maid and said, "Go and serve the Sixth Miss, and then you can stay..."
She casually drew a line with her finger: "Just live there!"
After returning to the house, Concubine Li rubbed her forehead and did not forget her good sister.
"Go and find out what's going on with Concubine Lou?" She would feel relieved if one or a few people were left behind.
The maid came back after a while.
"Master, there is no one left at Concubine Lou's place."
The little maidservant had been with her master for a long time and knew what she was thinking. She quickly said, "But, I heard that Madam Lou had a sad look on her face when she left."
"Oh?"
Concubine Li frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Great!"
She originally thought that the methods she used before were ineffective, but now it seems that they are indeed effective, but they were just concealed.
How else to explain why Mrs. Lou looked so worried even though she had given birth to a child, a son?
She must be unable to have children!
I can’t give birth well, Concubine Li’s mouth corners slowly curled up.
Now, there are only two eyesores left in the mansion.
Ji Yunqing, who did not send anyone to invite his family in, spent the day happily.
She even had the energy to play a couple of tunes, and then watched Hydrangea use soft fabrics to make small clothes and shoes, as well as a number of diaper pieces.
These will be useful in the future.
As she was doing this, Xiuqiu said, "When the master is in confinement, the weather should be cold. You must cover yourself tightly so that you won't suffer in the future."
Ji Yunqing just likes not to suffer.
She said generously: "If there is anything else we need, we can prepare it in advance.
By the way, Aunt An, I want new things for the delivery, even the scissors and the basin for water!
Also, I had to wash my hands and take a bath at that time, wash them thoroughly in advance, and my clothes had to be clean too, otherwise I would not have given birth!"
Nanny An nodded helplessly: "Yes, master, everything has been prepared." How could she hold back from having a baby? That was really childish.
That's good. Ji Yunqing finally felt relieved. The delivery environment was not good to begin with, and she was really afraid that she would lose her life if she was not careful.
