Xiao Ye's family didn't know how to leave Fenghua Courtyard, and the subordinates who knelt on the ground in the courtyard were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they didn't dare to say a word. When the third lady came, they were not allowed to pass it on, and now they can hear the words of the fifth lady clearly, and the third lady has heard all of them in her ears, and she must be very sad.

In fact, for these subordinates, they have the same thoughts as Bai Huayan, and they don't like the third lady to be the housewife. Because the third lady was a concubine and a concubine of the Ye family, such a housewife is really not magnificent enough. After all, the pattern of concubines is not big enough, even if the former second lady is just pretending to be a pretence, but she will maintain the Wenguo Mansion very well on the surface, and will never make people find fault at a glance.

But Xiao Ye's is different.

The concubine is stingy in her work, and she can't manage the account room of the public middle school, so these subordinates who wait for the third lady and the fifth lady hardly get a reward except for the monthly silver. Who wants to follow a master who has no money?

Not only the subordinates of Fenghua Courtyard are in this mind, it can be said that in the current Wenguo Mansion, except for the second lady's Nianxi courtyard, the red lady and the fourth lady's Yinxia courtyard, and the old lady's Jinrong courtyard, the minions in the other courtyards are living very hard. For example, silver is limited, and those who are slaves actually rely on the master's reward to save some family funds, and now the reward is unaffordable, how can they have oil and water to fish, who wants to live without oil and water?

Xiao Ye covered his stomach all the way and returned to his house exhausted. The maid who followed her to Fenghua Courtyard was Shuanghuan, and there was no way to see the master like this at this time, so she could only persuade her with good words: "Madame wants to open some, Miss Fifth is still young, she is still not sensible, she can't see many things clearly, you have to teach her well." ”

Xiao Ye's half leaned on the bed, and someone came into the house with a bowl of chicken soup, Shuanghuan took the chicken soup and fed her a few mouthfuls, Xiao Ye's waved his hand and didn't drink it. Shuanghuan persuaded again: "In any case, the body is still important, even if the lady is angry with Miss Five, she has to take care of the fetus in her womb." The slave maid said something that he didn't like, if Miss Fifth really didn't have the same heart with you, wouldn't your future still have to be tied to this child! So the most important thing at the moment is to keep him, and everything else is secondary. ”

Xiao Ye looked at the bowl of soup in front of him, and his face was disgusted: "I remember that when the Hong family was pregnant with the little young master, they used blood swallows to supplement every day. Even when I was pregnant with flowers, I could use Baiyan once every ten days and eight days, and I could enter Ejiao after three months. But look at it now, they only give me chicken soup, not even black chicken. I am also the matriarch of the Marquis Mansion now, wouldn't it make people laugh to death if I say such a thing, where should I put my face? ”

When she said this, she became angry, and her body fell together, so frightened that Shuanghuan hurriedly pressed her hand and said anxiously: "Madam, don't be angry, if you hurt this child, you won't even be able to live a life like this in the future." Do you still want to live like that in the old days? You finally climbed to this position, is it possible that you will be beaten back to the prototype because of a moment of anger? ”

Xiao Ye's heart chuckled, yes, how could she forget, she can't compare to her sister, Da Ye is the daughter of the Ye family, and she is the niece of the old queen mother, and her feelings and status are different. What does she rely on to get to the top now? The Ye family thinks that she is a ready-made candidate, and she can use it directly. But if she doesn't fight herself, the Ye family can change people at any time, there are so many daughters in the Ye family, and there are so many young and beautiful people, it's not that she can't send one or two more to the Bai family.

What can she rely on? Is there support from the matriarchs? Is it the favor of the husband? No, all she could rely on was the child in her belly. If this child can spell out a boy, she can really gain a foothold in this mansion, and the Ye family will also think that she is more useful. Using a child of the Bai family to replace Bai Haochen of the Duan family will be more able to hold Bai Xingyan's heart and be more justified.

"Double Ring." Xiao Ye took the chicken soup and drank it all, "You say, why does the Ye family have to take the Bai family?" It used to be for the hereditary title of Duke Wenguo, but now? Although the title is still there, it is no longer hereditary, what does the Ye family still want to do with the Bai family? Why do they still look at Chinese Guogong? ”

This is something she has always wondered about, as she said, it used to be hereditary for the sake of knighthood, and it still makes sense. But now? For Bai Xingyan's sake? How is it possible, the Ye family is not a fool, can't they see that Bai Xingyan is half a catty? Bai Xingyan is like this now, what can he do for the Ye family?

Shuanghuan also shook his head at this, "The slave is a maidservant girl in the end, how much knowledge can she have?" What you can't see through the third lady, how can the slave and maid see through it. However, the slave maid thought that since the Ye family still did not give up knowing that the Bai family had lost the hereditary system of titles, it meant that the Wenguo Mansion must still be useful. It's just that the Ye family knows about this use, but we don't know. So what we can do now is to cooperate with the family to hold the Guogong Mansion tightly in our hands, and as for the rest, it is not something we can worry about. ”

Xiao Ye nodded and smiled bitterly at himself, "Yes, I am a concubine of the Ye family, although the Ye family is my mother's family, but where am I qualified to ask my mother's family what they think." I can only go on step by step according to their demands, I have to do what I want to do, and I can't do anything if I am not allowed to do it. I don't care about that, really, I don't care about that. What I care about is that my biological daughter has the same heart as others and recognizes others as mothers, but in turn tramples on all my heart's love. ”

At the mention of Bai Huayan, Xiao Ye's family was so angry that he began to tremble again, and Shuanghuan sighed, "Madam, you are excited again." ”

Xiao Ye waved her hand, and she didn't need to say more, she adjusted her mood. She can't be angry, she can't hurt the child in her belly, Shuanghuan is right, this child is her real hope. As for Bai Huayan, it's useless, if you don't keep it by your side since you were a child, you can't talk about centrifugation, because your heart has never been together at all.

"Actually, Madame doesn't have to think of Miss Five so badly, she is that temper, she will say anything when she gets angry all her life, but in fact, she has no intentions, maybe she will forget it early tomorrow morning, Miss Five doesn't have so much scheming."

But Xiao Ye shook his head, "People are hidden, how can you conclude that the one in the morning was not a bitter trick she deliberately performed?" In this way, she wanted to drag me into the water, kick me off the position of the mistress, and then bring back the mother she had been thinking about. Shuanghuan, this is her hidden side, with the scheming appearance on weekdays, hiding her speculation. People are like this, just like you ......" she suddenly glared at Shuanghuan, her voice darkened, "You've been with my sister for so many years, did she ever think that one day you would betray?" Would you have thought that you would turn against her immediately after she lost power, and help me make her lose power faster? ”

In the face of such a question, Shuanghuan was not angry, and she was not even surprised at all. She just told Xiao Ye: "The third lady is a smart person, and the slave never thought that you would accept me without hiding anything from yourself, and never expected you to put your heart into me." Yes, I made a choice after the second lady lost power, came to your side, and became your slave. But I didn't betray, because I was never her slave, I was the slave of the Ye family, and everything I did was for the Ye family. You are also a member of the Ye family, I listened to the wishes of the main family and made a new choice, what's wrong with this? ”

Xiao Ye's heart sank, and he nodded: "Indeed, you have not betrayed, you are loyal to the Ye family." But what if one day I lose ground? Are you going to fall in stone for me? It's just that at that point, who else do you have to choose? ”

Shuanghuan smiled, "Third Madam, if there is really such a day, I will naturally obey the orders of the Ye family and then serve the next master." And the next master, I believe it will definitely be someone from the Ye family. ”

Xiao Ye stopped talking, yes, she was thinking about this just now, why did she forget it now.

There are still candidates in the Ye family, and if her generation is gone, there will be the next generation, and countless fresh blood will be sent in, and it will be endless. Until they achieve their goal, until the last bit of use value of the Bai family is squeezed out.

Although she still doesn't know what this so-called use value is, she understands that according to the current situation, only by keeping Bai Xingyan can she protect herself, as for the Ye family, blindly being obedient is not done by smart people, she has not received so many benefits from her sister Da Ye's family, and she does not have the queen mother as a backer, so her fate is not only tied to the Ye family.

On the contrary, if she can get rid of the Ye family's control, with her own mind and means and the child in her belly, she can sit in the position of the main mother all the time. Between the concubine of the Ye family and the mother of the Wenguo Mansion, there is no doubt that she has to choose the latter.

Xiao Ye thought that now that the concubine room in the Hou Mansion is thin, it is time to fill more rooms for Bai Xingyan. It's just a new concubine, and it must no longer have anything to do with the Ye family and the Guo family. The main thing is that the newcomer must be in her hands.

This night, Bai Heran didn't sleep well, and he didn't miss Jun Mulin very much. Obviously, they have only been separated for a few hours, but they began to regret that they drove people away and didn't let him enter the house in the middle of the night to disturb her dreams.

She also felt sorry for Bai Huiyan, who had a good life, but she lived like this. It's obviously a good family, but it's like this. She didn't know what mistake Bai Xingyan made back then, but if it hadn't been for that mistake at the beginning, wouldn't everything be different?

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Crane received a banquet sticker......
