Ye Qinglan opened the door first, and then went to open the window, and the cool breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants blew into the house, which made people feel refreshed.

Cui Wan saw that Sister Qiao was not half uncomfortable, and she was a little relieved. After thinking about it, he told the maid to change a thinner futon for Sister Qiao'er. Ben was worried that Sister Qiao'er would not be able to adapt to it, but she didn't expect that in this way, Sister Qiao'er's spirit was better than before.

Cui Wan suddenly perked up, and took the initiative to ask Ye Qinglan: "What is the best place to wipe with warm water?" ”

Ye Qinglan responded: "It's okay to sweat anywhere." "Wipe the forehead and back with a warm towel to effectively cool down the feverish child.

Cui Wan nodded, and hurriedly instructed the maids to prepare warm water towels. Then he wrung a warm towel and carefully wiped her forehead for Sister Qiao'er. Ye Qinglan was not idle, and also went to wring a towel to wipe the tender little hands and feet for Sister Qiao'er.

Sister Qiao'er was feverish and groggy all over, and it was obviously very comfortable to be wiped like this, and she lay there obediently and motionless, letting Cui Wan and Ye Qinglan fiddle.

Zheng watched the two of them busy on the side, and couldn't help asking, "What are you two doing here?" ”

Ye Qinglan explained with a smile: "Sister Qiao'er has a fever and is uncomfortable, and wiping her body with a warm towel can dissipate the temperature. ”

Zheng snorted, and his gaze naturally paused on Ye Qinglan's face for a moment.

Ye Qinglan lowered her head intently to wipe the white and tender little feet for Sister Qiao'er, a strand of hair fell down, covering the small half of her cheeks, and her soft pretty face exuded a girlish charm.

When this girl just came back from Zhengzhou, she was not eye-catching among the girls in Changyuan Bofu. Under Ye Qingning's bright light, it is even more eye-catching. But now it is gradually blooming with brilliance, like a piece of beautiful jade, which is impossible to ignore. Even standing by Ye Qingning's side is not inferior in the slightest.

A person's appearance is naturally destined, and having a good appearance will naturally take a lot of advantage, but there are some things that are more important than appearance, such as temperament, cultivation, conversation, behavior, and so on.

A trace of doubt finally rose in Zheng's heart. Ye Qingning's outstandingness is a matter of course. She doesn't know how much effort she put into training her daughter. But Ye Qinglan is just a concubine, how can she have a temperament that is not weaker than Ye Qingning. With Xue's open-mindedness, can he raise such an outstanding concubine?

Although Ye Qinglan had been lowering her head intently, she didn't miss Zheng's inquiring eyes, and her heart was secretly cold. Today's table is indeed a bit eye-catching, and it's no wonder that Zheng is suspicious.

You have to be careful in the future, Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp! It wouldn't be good if it really aroused the suspicion of the Zheng family......

After wiping it several times, Sister Qiao fell asleep comfortably. Cui Wan probed Sister Qiao'er's forehead, and suddenly looked happy. The forehead, which was originally hot, is now much cooler. The method Ye Qinglan said is really useful!

Cui Wan got up. glanced at Ye Qinglan gratefully, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Sister Qiao is much better!" ”

Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "My cousin-in-law is really out of sight when she says this. I've been weak since I was a child. Often sick. This method was also taught to me by the doctor. Since it also works for Sister Qiao'er, it couldn't be better. ”

Zheng suddenly said: "Let's go to the side hall to talk, so as not to disturb Sister Qiao'er's sleep." ”

Cui Wan was slightly stunned, responded with a busy smile, and led Zheng and the others to the side hall next door. He was busy instructing the maids to serve some tea and snacks. I kept thinking about it. What exactly did Zheng have to say to her?

Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning knew very well what the Zheng family was about to open their mouths to say, and when they glanced at each other, they both saw the sighs in each other's eyes.

Cui Wan is very careful in what she says and acts on weekdays, not only to take care of the daily life of Ye Yuanwei and Sister Qiao, but also to serve the mother-in-law of the Zheng family every day. It's not too much to describe it as hard work. But even so, Zheng is still picky about this daughter-in-law. Now for the sake of the heir, Cui Wan is forced to nod and agree to Ye Yuanwei's concubine......

Being a daughter-in-law is really a chore.

Zheng and Cui Wan didn't talk around the corner. said bluntly: "Cui, you've been married for five years!" But there is only one daughter like Sister Qiao'er, and there is no movement in her belly until now. It's not okay to go on like this. ”

Cui Wan's face turned pale. Silently lowered his head, his right hand was quietly clenched into a fist, and his palm was pinched by his nails with a faint tingling. But these pains are far less than the stinging pain in my heart.

Zheng's cold, almost ruthless words drilled into her ears word by word: "Heirs are the top priority, and I have given you five years. But your belly is really not angry. I can't blame me. From now on, let the two maids around Yuan Wei stop avoiding the soup. Within three months. If they have good news, they will be raised as aunts. If there is no movement, give Yuan Wei a concubine......"

Looking over from Ye Qinglan's point of view, she could only see Cui Wan's lowered face getting paler and paler, and her body trembling slightly. But from beginning to end, Cui Wan didn't dare to refute a word. I just listened as softly as ever.

In the Xungui family, taking a concubine is not a trivial matter. Generally speaking, concubines can only be accepted after the wife has given birth to the eldest son. In this way, even if the concubine gives birth to children, it will not affect the status of the main wife. If the main wife has not come out, she will take a concubine and inherit the heirs. However, the matter of taking a concubine must be carried out with the nod of the wife, so as not to provoke the dissatisfaction of the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law.

Zheng's actions at this moment were clearly forcing her to nod and agree to Ye Yuanwei's concubine.

"Cui, did you listen to what I said?" Zheng looked at Cui Wan steadily, and his voice was not slow.

Cui Wan reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "My daughter-in-law heard it." "That smile is uglier than crying.

Ye Qinglan couldn't bear to look at Cui Wan's expression anymore and looked away. Ye Qingning also turned his head, and the two sisters looked at each other, both of them seeing the sympathy and helplessness in each other's eyes.

In this kind of thing, the two of them couldn't help Cui Wan at all, and they didn't even dare to intercede for her.

Zheng remembered Cui Wan's usual meekness and suppleness, and his tone finally softened a little, and he soothed: "You also want to open some." No matter who gives birth to a child, he will always call you mother in the future. You are the eldest granddaughter-in-law of our Changyuan Bofu, this is an ironclad matter. No one can affect your status. ”

Cui Wan replied in a low voice, her heart like a knife. I suddenly remembered the words that my mother whispered when she left yesterday: "Wanniang, you have to hurry up and give birth to a son as soon as possible." Don't let your uncle take a concubine! ”

I really didn't expect that after only one day, the Zheng family would come to persecute her......

Even though she was reluctant, she didn't even have room for opposition. Who made her belly not angry, and she didn't give birth to a son for five years. finally got a Qiao sister, and she got sick from time to time.

Seeing that Cui Wan was as docile and obedient as before, Zheng was very satisfied, and his tone was a little softer: "By the way, you let those two maids come out, and I want to tell the two of them a few words." ”

Cui Wan answered and told the maid to call two maids in the room.

It's a short time, but it's very difficult. No one spoke, there was silence.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Cui Wan, her heart overflowing with sympathy and pity. Such a gentle, dignified and beautiful woman, she serves her in-laws wholeheartedly to take care of her husband and daughter, and she has never been too bad in talking and doing things. But now because of the problem of the heirs, he has suffered such humiliation.

No matter how tolerant and generous a woman is, she does not want to share her husband with another woman. Watching other women give birth to children for their husbands is even more painful and humiliating! But Cui Wan didn't even have the courage to refute, so she could only bear it silently.

Will she have to live a life like Cui Wan in the future?

Ye Qinglan stared at Cui Wan silently. No, she would never have to live like this in the future. Even if she is going to marry someone in the future, she will marry a man who likes her with all her heart and she likes.

A lifetime of a couple! She couldn't bear to share her husband with any woman!

The two maids soon came. The two maids are ten years old, and one of them has a long face and a bit of beauty, called Spring Peach. The other is slender and delicate, called Cai Green.

Chun Tao is Ye Yuanwei's personal maid, and when she was sixteen years old, she opened her face and made a room. Cai Lu is Cui Wan's maid, and she opened her face after giving birth to Sister Qiao. The two of them are disciplined on weekdays and rarely go out of Qinfangyuan. Suddenly, when I heard that Zheng was summoned, I didn't know what it was, and I was a little nervous. He saluted honestly, stood aside, and waited for Zheng's lecture.

Zheng glanced at the two maids and said, "Chun Tao, you have been serving Yuanwei for a few years!" ”

Chun Tao trembled and responded: "Yes, the slave maid entered Qinfang Garden at the age of thirteen and has been serving the young master for six years. "As for picking green, needless to say, with Cui Wan getting married together, it has been five years now.

"From now on, I'll stop the soup for the two of you." Zheng was not surprised to see the surprised looks of the two maids, and said lightly: "You two must serve the young master and grandmother wholeheartedly, and strive to conceive an heir as soon as possible." As long as I can give birth to a son and a half daughter, I will give her an official name. ”

Spring Peach and Cai Green kowtowed in thanks, and their eyes were full of surprises that could not be concealed.

In the final analysis, the maid in the room is still the identity of the maid, and she is not even half a master. Maybe if you make a mistake, you'll be sent away. But if you have the opportunity to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and then be raised to be an aunt, your status is completely different. Even if she can't surpass Cui Wan, at least she will get rid of slavery and become the master.

Besides, Cui Wan's belly is not angry, and she has not given birth to a son for a long time. If the two of them can have a son in one fell swoop, they will give birth to the eldest grandson......

Thinking of this, spring peaches and green picking are excited.

The joy in their eyes fell on Cui Wan's eyes, but it was so dazzling.
