At least you have someone in charge to back you up. Wouldn't this make you more assertive? If something happens, everyone will consider it and do it. It's a good thing for the children and the second wife, right?
This was just an idea of Cuihong's, and she told the second lady about it. The final outcome of the medicine still depends on the lady's decision.
"Cuihong, what you said makes sense."
"Now I am not in the state of just entering the mansion. If I disappear for no reason, no one will believe me even if I say it."
After thinking for a moment, the second lady also cared about this child: "Although if this matter is announced, there may be people with ulterior motives who will stumble me, but it is also something that must be experienced."
"Cuihong, go talk to the master about this and make sure he understands it."
After receiving the second lady's words, Cuihong immediately obeyed: "Yes, madam, don't worry!"
When Cuihong rushed there, Tang Guogong was busy, so he had to explain to Butler Chen that he was going back first, and he could come back if he couldn't. He couldn't disturb the business of Tang Guogong's discussion.
After a while, the voices inside gradually became quieter, and everyone walked out together. Butler Chen watched everyone around Duke Tang leave before he stepped forward.
"What's wrong? This face?"
When Tang Guogong looked at Butler Chen, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or something else. In short, he had never seen it before, so he guessed it was a good thing?
"My lord, this is a good thing. The second lady is pregnant."
There was thunder on the ground, and Tang Guogong looked at Butler Chen with a blank mind: "What did you say? The second lady is pregnant?"
As he said this, he still didn't quite believe it. The main reason was that at his current age, the probability of having children was very low. For people around his age, having children was not as common as usual.
Seeing that Duke Guo didn't seem so happy, but was thinking about something, Butler Chen had almost finished the investigation and continued to talk to Duke Tang: "Master, you were indeed in the Second Lady's room last month, and this was after the fire.
Things should be handled more appropriately."
After listening to Butler Chen's words, Tang Guogong had an impression and warned: "Send her the supplements given by the emperor, and make sure the child's time is correct!"
Listening to Tang Guogong's words, Butler Chen naturally understood that this was what the master was worried about: "Yes, please don't worry, master."
With his worries hidden in his heart, Duke Guo of Tang returned to the eldest lady's residence and mentioned that the second lady was happy.
This caused the eldest lady to be very surprised. Yan Yan said with a smile on her face: "Master, this is a good thing. I will ask Xiaofei to send some meaningful items to her later."
"As for supplements and the like, there are some special ones. How about I wait until the second lady recovers and send them to you?"
The eldest lady has long known the character of the second lady. She was originally an arrogant and domineering person, but now that she has a child, things like this may be even worse.
However, the child belongs to the master no matter what. She also has to consider many aspects of this matter. She has not been pregnant for many years and now she is pregnant, which makes the eldest lady worried.
Listening to the arrangement of the eldest lady, the Duke of Guo smiled and said: "You should be more cautious. When I learned about it, I asked Butler Chen to send the supplements directly."
"I am telling you this time mainly to tell you to protect this child."
"There are not many wives and concubines in the palace. Most of them are women. They will eventually get married."
Speaking of this, the Duke of Guo also had his own thoughts and sighed: "I never thought about having a child. Now that I can come, it is also a blessing for our Duke. It can be regarded as a child in old age."
He is now almost the same age. When he told the eldest lady these words, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He just responded to Tang Guogong: "Don't worry, Lord Guo, these are the things I should do."
"To be on the safe side, the Duke should find a few more people with good medical skills to help the Second Madam check her pulse?"
Still a little nervous in her heart, the eldest lady looked at the confused look on the Duke's face and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else. The second lady is only three or four years younger than me, so she is not too young. If anything happens, please know it in advance."
It’s better to prevent it.”
"Isn't this a better way to complete the task assigned to me by the Duke?"
Listening to what the eldest lady said, Duke Tang nodded.
"What you said makes sense. You can just discuss this matter with Butler Chen later."
"By the way, Tang Yanzhi still has to pay close attention to his studies recently, and there are only a few years left. In the end, he still needs to let the emperor see Tang Yanzhi's level. These are all for him to pursue a better future."
There is no permanent position, it can only be made stronger by forging iron. If the government of the country declines, it is also possible.
But for a highly strict person like Tang Guogong, his children must be the best in academic riding and shooting.
"Tang Yanzhi understands these expectations of the master and will work hard."
"On the other hand, the master himself has been busy with work recently and has no time to take care of his health."
With that said, the eldest lady called Xiaofei considerately: "Please heat up the food prepared earlier."
"Yes, madam."
With the thoughtfulness of his virtuous wife by his side, Duke Tang's tense heart was relieved.
The moonlight gradually became brighter, and the night shrouded the quiet world.
At dawn, Tang Zhengrong saw Aunt Liu packing up as if she was going out, so he asked casually: "What's going on, mother, today?"
Aunt Liu usually stays in Xingfangju more and rarely sees her traveling.
"Go and see the eldest lady. I saw that Tang Yanzhi gave you tutoring lessons earlier. Seeing that she likes flowers and plants, I made some handkerchiefs earlier. Now that I have free time, I just sent them."
"When dealing with people, you still need to have some warmth."
Tang Zhengrong didn't care about this matter. Tang Yanzhi didn't need so much to get along with her.
However, no matter what Aunt Liu wants to do, it is better to have a busy life than to feel empty in her heart.
"Then mother, go early and come back early!"
With that said, Tang Zhengrong left first to go to General Le's Mansion to practice martial arts.
Chunqin and Aunt Liu went to the residence of the eldest lady. When the eldest lady saw the embroidery brought by Aunt Liu, she also admired it in her heart.
"I haven't had time to thank you properly. If it weren't for your embroidery work, the Duke would have stayed in my residence for a few more days. I was so busy these days that I forgot about it. I didn't expect you to come to send me off. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Regarding the previous incident, the eldest lady spoke frankly. It seemed that she had no intention of competing for favors. She just expressed her gratitude to Aunt Liu in her words. Aunt Liu did not mind this either.
"It's nothing. The only thing I care about is Tang Zhengrong. Now that Tang Zhengrong has grown up, there will be marriages and other things in the future. I hope the eldest lady can worry about it. As for the dowry and so on, I will prepare it myself."
"This child, Tang Zhengrong, and my useless mother, didn't end up well before. Now I'm better, but it's still very painful."
