Chapter 146 Aunt Tian’s Motherly Love
Chapter 146 Aunt Tian’s Motherly Love
"Sister, what you said is wrong."
Liu Tianshu sighed.
"The Marquis is already in his twenties. Those families who got married early already have children everywhere, but the Marquis still has no children.
As the mistress of the house, I not only have to manage everything in the mansion, but also have to expand the branches and leaves for the mansion. After all, my ability is limited if I rely on myself alone.
Arranging more concubines for the Marquis will also let outsiders know my generosity, so that no one will say that I am jealous and cannot tolerate concubines in the mansion. "
"Liu Tianshu, you are so generous. I just hope you can keep your word."
Liu Tian'ai didn't believe that there was really a woman in the world who was willing to share her husband with others. She must be forcing herself.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Tianshu was in no mood to continue talking nonsense with Liu Tian'ai. After having her sent back to Liu Garden to kneel as punishment, she took Qingshan Guanxue to the second gate and took the mansion's carriage to the Liu family.
The daughter of the second branch of the Liu family has finally set a date for her wedding, and the other party is the Minister of Rites. It is quite lively today, and many people are waiting outside the door to watch the fun.
The Ministry of Rites was not a department that was looking for money, and since Han Zhiqing was fully focused on studying, the betrothal gift she sent was just average and not particularly extravagant.
Liu Tianjia was in the yard when she heard the report from someone outside, but her face didn't look very good. If this wasn't the best family she could marry into at the moment, she would never agree to this marriage no matter what.
The maidservant beside him noticed that Liu Tianjia's face was not right, and immediately joked: "Miss, I just went to the front yard to take a peek. Although Mr. Han is a little older, he looks very handsome and is a gentle and elegant nobleman."
What girl is not pregnant?
Although Liu Tianjia had missed the best flowering period, she was still a young girl. When she heard that her future husband was handsome, the slight dissatisfaction that had just arisen in her heart instantly disappeared.
"Tian'er, ask someone to go outside and find out if the young lady is back."
The maid Tian'er smiled and said, "I asked someone to inquire. It is said that the eldest lady has recovered and is talking to the old lady in her courtyard."
"Is she really willing to come back?"
Liu Tianjia asked with surprise.
"Yes, the eldest lady has not only returned, but also brought gifts to everyone in the mansion. Miss, how about we go to the old lady's place as well?"
"Don't go."
Liu Tianjia didn't even think about refusing.
She is the protagonist today. Although she is curious about what gifts Liu Tianshu brought back, since the whole family will get a share, she must be included. She wants to wait for her to come in person, so as to further prove that she has a good relationship with the Marquis' Mansion.
Liu Tianshu stayed with Tian and talked to her for a while, and heard her asking about Liu Tian'er's life in the Marquis' Mansion.
I don’t know if this old woman really doesn’t know Liu Tian’ai’s current situation, or if she really doesn’t care about her granddaughter. She ignored her and started asking Liu Tian’ai.
Today is a good day for Liu Tianjia. Liu Tianshu doesn't want to make the whole family unhappy, so she naturally says that everything is fine.
"You, girl, are sisters to Sister Ai. Why didn't you bring her back with you this time?"
"Grandmother, the Marquis' Mansion has its own rules. How can a concubine go out at will?"
After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Madam, I haven't been home for three years. I still have to go and pay my respects to my mother and two aunts. I will come back to talk to you later."
"Liu Tianshu, don't think that you have become powerful just because you married into the Marquis' Mansion. You'd better take good care of your sister. If I find out that she has suffered any injustice in the Marquis' Mansion..."
Before Tian finished her threat, Liu Tianshu sneered and asked, "What can the old lady do?"
"I……"
"Grandmother, since Liu Tianyi has married into the Marquis's mansion as a concubine, she must abide by the rules of a concubine. Although I am the mistress of the house, I cannot make an exception just because of her."
After saying that, Liu Tianshu bowed to Tian, and without waiting for Tian's response, she stood up and walked out the door.
"You're a rebellious girl."
Seeing Liu Tianshu leaving, Tian was so angry that she threw the teacup beside her to the ground.
Just then, Aunt Tian came out from behind the screen.
"Aunt, judging from the eldest lady's attitude just now, my life in the Marquis' Mansion will not be easy. My poor little girl... wuwuwu..."
"Cry, cry, cry. You know how to cry now, but what did you do in the first place?"
Tian scolded Aunt Tian angrily, and then held her hand with heartache.
"Although she is a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, she is still a noble concubine. No one dares to make her angry. You can rest assured."
"Aunt, I want to go to the Marquis's Mansion to see Ai'er."
"No."
Tian didn't even think about refusing.
"What kind of place is the Marquis' Mansion? Can we go there whenever we want? Last time, she was in confinement and not feeling well, so we could have found an excuse to go there. But how can you, a concubine, go to the Marquis' Mansion so often?"
"Aunt, even if I can't enter the mansion, we can send someone to tell Ai'er that we can meet quietly at the back door..."
After Aunt Tian finished speaking, she looked at Tian with tears in her eyes.
"Aunt, Ai'er is my cousin and I's first child. We have taken care of her like a treasure since she was little. I haven't seen her for such a long time, and I am really worried."
The method Aunt Tian suggested was indeed easier than going to the Marquis' Mansion with great fanfare, but Tian didn't want to create any more trouble.
"There are many people we sent to the Marquis' Mansion. If something really happened to the girl, someone would have sent you a message long ago. The lack of news means she is fine."
It's not that she no longer cares about Liu Tian'ai. On the contrary, because she cares about her, she can't let her keep in touch with her family, thinking that her family can still take care of her. In fact, from the day she became a nun, the help her family could provide her was very limited.
"Aunt, I'll just go and see Sister Yi secretly and talk to her. I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead..."
Tian helped Aunt Tian wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with concern.
"Don't talk too much. Go quickly and come back soon. It's best to come back before Sister Shu goes back."
"Thank you, Auntie. I will be back soon."
After getting Tian's consent, Aunt Tian left happily.
After Aunt Tian left, an old lady came over and said in embarrassment: "Madam, isn't it a good idea for Aunt Tian to visit the Third Miss right now?"
"It's because there are so many people at home today that no one noticed her, an aunt."
Tian is not really stupid. Liu Tian'er did not come back with them today, and she has not asked anyone to bring anything back. There must be something wrong.
At the same time, from Liu Tianshu's attitude just now, she could tell that Liu Tian'ai must not have had a very good life these days.
Aunt Tian could feel at ease if she went over to take a look.
The palms and backs of one's hands are all flesh and blood. Although she loves Liu Tian'ai more, she doesn't want to make things too awkward with Liu Tianshu, making Liu Tian'ai's life more difficult in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
I just hope these two girls are fine...
