<h4>Chapter 190: Regting the Family, Hai shi Delivers a Baby, He Family’s Medical Books (120.3)</h4>


    Trantor: Iris


    Seeing the people in front of them going further and further, Minn reminded Rn in an extremely low voice, “I have heard from Old Madam Sheng that Madam and our father had used to be in a great rtionship. They respected each other and lived a happy life. They were only estranged from each other afterwards because Madam loved to interfere with father’s works. After that, Concubine Lin has taken advantages of that and won favor of father.”


    Actually, it was not rare to see women meddle in their husbands’ or sons’ business affairs. However, the difference lied in whether those women’s helps had contributed to the thrive of their husbands’ careers. Wang shi who only cared about her own selfish interest and never cared about righteous principles must have caused lots of troubles for Sheng Hong.


    Concubine Lin really was a good example since this woman had caused great damage. Rn who assumed herself as the biggest victim of Concubine Lin’s incident took a tumble. Then she thumped her palm with her other fist and said, “I have also heard a bit of that before. Then... Sixth Sister, what can I do?”


    Minn was living a good life right now. Thus she also hoped Rn could enjoy her life. Then Minn suggested, “You can see Fifth Brother-In-Law’s attitude toward this. If he mentions this thing to you over and over again, you can go talk to Eldest Sister-In-Law. She is from the Hai family. No one knows this kind of thing better than her. After she talks to our brother, you would know if they could help you on this then. Also, next time you run into something like this, you can always do so.”


    “That’s a good idea!” Rn nodded constantly, smiling. She trusted Hai shi all the time. Then she asked, “What if my husband doesn’t mention about that position?”


    Minn rolled her eyes to Rn and said, “That means he doesn’t care about that job that much. You can save your efforts then. Stop thinking of the hard life in Imperial Academy! If you make decisions for him on his career all the time, you might lose his love to you!”


    Rn truly valued her love with Wen Yanjing. And due to that reason, she didn’t mind being a wife of a humble official who worked in the Imperial Academy. Hearing Minn’s words, Rn nodded heavily.


    After a while, Rn suddenly recalled something and said, “That’s right. I can also ask you for help! Everybody says that my Sixth Brother-In-Law is a powerful man! Hey, you will help me on this, right?” With her eyes squinted and her arms akimbo, she said that in an overbearing tone, like the way she had used to be when she hadn’t got married.


    Minn held Rn’s arm again and said with a smile, “Of course I’ll help you. Since you have asked, I will definitely tell my husband about this. But I need to tell you first, the civil officials and military officers are assigned to different duties. If father and brother help you on this, Fifth Brother-In-Law can stilly low and the only thing that needs to be done is the paper work. But if your Sixth Brother-In-Law helps him... Well, don’t me me if everybody knows about you having asked a favor for your husband.”


    Minn’s words made Rn quite fearful. All the schrs had strong self-esteem. If Wen Yanjing knew that everyone was aware that he had to ask favor from his brother-inw, things would get really ugly for Rn.


    Minn stared at Rn smilingly. In the times when everyone was full of schemes, it was really difficult to find a girl who was so straightforward and innocent like Rn.


    “Sixth Sister, although I am a stupid girl, I can still tell right from wrong. I know you have uttered those words from the bottom of your heart because you want the best for me. I know you always treat me nice. Please forgive my asional bad temper.” Rn suddenly said that softly while holding Minn’s hand.


    Minn suddenly felt a bit guilty. Then she held Rn’s hand and said in a gentle voice, “We are sisters. You don’t have to say that. By the way, did Fifth Brother-In-Law treat you well?” On these words, Minn looked Rn up and down, finding thetter wearing a red Beizi embroidered with butterflies flying through the flowers. Although that clothes seemed a bit too ceremonious, it still made Rn’s face look quite rosy. ording to Rn’s look, Minn guessed that this girl must live well.


    As expected, Rn raised her head proudly with blush on her face and said shyly, “Yes, of course. He treats me really nice. He always writes poems and draws pictures with me as long as he’s free.”


    “Draw the portrait of you?”


    “Of course it’s me!” Rn red at Minn fiercely, saying, “Yanjing said my face is bright and I’m natural and graceful. I’m the best model for him to draw!”


    “Right, right, right. Absolutely.” Minn fixed her words right away, “Then... what about your mother-inw?”


    Rn saidcently, “Every time that old woman bothers me, my husband will go to the Imperial Academy. If that woman’s words sounded too harsh, my husband would say ‘Since you disdain the daughter of Sheng family, why do you still have the nerve to stay in the mansion they have bought for us? Feel free to move.’ Then my mother-inw just stopped scolding me.”


    Minnughed out at once, which made Wang shi turn around to look at her. Then Minn had to restrain herself immediately. It was very difficult for women to live in the ancient times. Minn really felt happy for Rn. After all, Sheng Hong and Changbai had all spoken highly of Wen Yanjing. So Rn’s husband couldn’t be a bad guy.


    s... if only all her sisters could be happy, frank and easy to handle like Rn. However, that was impossible. In no time, Minn met another sister of her, Mn.


    Mn was sitting in Hai shi’s room while chatting with other women who hade to celebrate the baby’s birth. Her pretty face seemed to be covered with a bit gloom. The purple red Beizi embroidered with peonies on twisted branches on her did seem expensive but also made her look a few years older than her actual age. That huge gold pin with five phoenixes spreading the wings toward the sun on her hair seemed super glittery and dazzled everyone in the room.


    Rn twitched her mouth the moment she saw Mn. Then the she approached Minn deliberately and whispered, “Why did she put on air like that? Everybody in the capital knows that Marquis Yongchang’s mansion is having a hard time right now. Not only has His Majesty warned them several times, even her father-inw was suspended from his military duties. Fourth Brother-In-Law should feel lucky to be able to keep his current position. There is no chance for him to get promoted.”


    Mn only nodded stiffly when seeing them. She seemed to want to talk with Minn. However, Rn made sure that would never happen by standing between her two sisters. Minn, with a calm look on her face only talked with other women guests in the room. After that, she came over to the newborn. The baby girl looked like Hai shi a lot with slender eyebrows and eyes as well as a pair of slightly curved lip.


    Madam Liu whose husband worked in Dali Temple looked at the baby and said with a smile, “What a pretty girl. She looks just like her mother. I’m looking forward to seeing her growing up to be an educateddy.”


    With lots of cloths being wrapped on Hai shi’s head, she reclined on a deep purple cushion embroidered with dark color flower patterns and auspicious words, saying smilingly, “What’s so good looking like me? I hope she can look like her aunts. They are all real beauties.”


    Another Madam Liu said with a smile, “No matter who she takes after, it’s all good. You and your sisters-inw are all blessed ones.” While saying this, she couldn’t help looking at Minn. They all knew that Hai shi wanted her daughter to be like Minn.


    As Rn looked at the little baby, she suddenly recalled something. Then she dragged Minn over and asked in a low voice, “Eldest Sister is going to give birth to a baby after a few days, have you already made some baby clothes and shoes? Eh... can I we share some of the clothes?”


    Minn, being startled, red at her and said in a low voice, “You are already a married woman. How can you still ask my help for needlework! I’ll tell this to your mother-inw!”


    Rn pounced on her and threatened her fiercely in a light voice, “You dare?! I’ll pinch you to death!”


    Minn begged for mercy right away, “Of course I have already prepared a piece for you!... But let’s make a deal. Only for this year. Next year, you won’t get anything from me!”


    Seeing themughing and teasing together, Mn twisted the handkerchief in her hands and felt resentful inwardly.
