<h4>Chapter 307: Here Comes Baozi (IV)</h4>


    Trantor: Ning LL


    After Rn had got married, she always felt ufortable seeing Minn dressing luxuriously, but today… She touched her belly with her head lowered and glimpsed at Rong who was standing beside them. Then she thought that having a stepdaughter right after getting married must be a pain in the neck for Minn.


    Thinking of that, Rn didn’t feel the wealthy life Minn had so attractive anymore. As long as Rn felt better, she would be gentle and kind right away. Then she grabbed a handful of snacks to Rong and Xian and told the servants to bring the girls out to y.


    “How’s the feeling of bing a mother without actually giving birth to a baby?” Rn said in a low voice with an evil look in her eyes.


    ‘What a mean girl!’ Minn clenched her handkerchief and retorted with a sharp answer calmly, “Fifth sister, I hope you can be the mother of your blood children only.”


    Rn got speechless right away. She was not able to make that promise. Although she was a straightforward person, she was not so na?ve. Until now, the best life she could wish was being intimate to her husband for twenty years. After their children had grown up, she would be busy finding a wife for her son or a husband for her daughter and might even have grandchildren. Then, she could find a few honest maids to serve her husband.


    Joyfully, Minn watched Rn’s face turning green and red, finding it so much fun. She had never lost a single verbal battle to Rn ever since they had been little girls, not to mention now. After the bicker, Minn also had to ask about Rn’s condition. After all, thetter was a pregnant woman now, Minn couldn’t go too far. After Minn sat upright, she smiled gently, “How’s your conditiontely, Fifth Sister? Is there anything I can do to help?”


    Rn straightened the gold hairpin beside her temple and gave Minn a stare, then said, “The doctor and a few Momos all said that I am in a great condition and everything is fine except that I have grown greedy for food and sleep. I eat five meals a day and get drowsy when I open my eyes. When I close my eyes, I would continue to sleep as if I have been drugged. However, I feel better now. Also…”


    Minn listened to her with a smile. Suddenly, her heart missed a beat for no reason.


    When she left the Wen’s mansion, it was already three quarters past the Shen Hour (Around 3:45). Minn then went back to her own mansion on the sedan with her servants. After she got off the sedan, the servants brought the two kids to their own residences. The moment Minn walked into the room, she saw Danju walking around in the room anxiously. As she saw Minn, she walked over right away and said disorderly, “Madam, you are finally back. Old Madam has sent someone to invite you several times, but you were out at that time. Old Madam Yang is here.”


    “Who?” Minn was very exhausted and tried toy down on the bed.


    “Old Madam Yang!”


    …


    What a busy day! That should be a great title for a pupil’s article.


    All the doors of the side hall of the Peaceful Hall had been opened. Two noble and graceful madams were sitting in the middle, one was Old Madam Qin and the other was Old Master Gu’s blood sister who had married into the Yang family.


    “Aunt, it’s an honor to meet you.”


    Minn gave an obeisance to Old Madam Yang and said that in a soft voice. Since she had already beente, she had then washed her face clearly and changed to a new outfit.


    Old Madam Yang had a round face, which should make her look very kind, but now she only gave out a fake smile, “My second nephew’s wife truly is a busy person. I was about to leave and then you came. It’s so hard to meet you once.”


    Minn nced at Shao shi and Zhu shi and then replied reverently, “Aunt, I went to General Zheng’s mansion today to give my thanks because First Madam Zheng has introduced a teacher to our girls. I’ve told Old Madam Qin, my first and third sister-inw this a few days ago. I really didn’t know that you woulde today, otherwise I would never leave my home.”


    Old Madam Yang chuckled and turned to Old Madam Qin, “You daughter-inw is an eloquent girl. I only said a sentence and she got a whole speech waiting for me. I don’t even dare to say anything now.”


    Minn smiled without saying anything. If she argued, they would call her quibbling, if she didn’t say anything, it would seem like she had admitted it. She was always in the wrong side no matter what she did. Old Madam Yang hadn’t attended her wedding, so Minn assumed that this madam wasn’t so close to Gu Tingye anyway. Therefore, Minn decided to say only the things she should say and answer the thing she should answer. As long as she followed the etiquette, she didn’t want to care about other things.


    The ambience in the room turned down immediately.


    Old Madam Yang stared at Minn with picky eyes. Minn looked at her own toes while counting numbers secretly, nning to sit on the seat when she counted to one hundred. Old Madam Qin held the teacup in her hands calmly, having no intension to ease the tension. Zhu shi also said nothing, as expected. Shao shi felt reluctant to see Minn like this. After she looked at Old Madam Qin and then at Minn, she stood up slowly,


    “Sister-inw, you must be so tired now. Come have a sit.” She dragged Minn to the seat and said with a smile, “Today we have a good news today. Our Seventh Sister-inw is going to get engaged.”


    Minn sat on thefortable seat and replied with a ‘surprised’ look, “Oh, really? Congrattions, Old Madam. Which family is so lucky to have our Seventh Sister-inw?”


    Shao shi answered smilingly, “It’s the Han family, also the Grand Princess Qing Chang’s husband’s family. Seventh Sister-inw is going to marry the third son of the princess.”


    “The Han family. Isn’t the princess’s husband the second legal son of Marquis Zhen Nan?”


    The reason why Minn had remembered that so clearly was that there was a dandy in Marquis Zhennan’s family who was in the same level of being wild as Gu Tingye. However, ever since Gu Tingye had retired from that kind of life, that master in the Han family was kind of alone. When Gu Tingye and Minn were chatting, he always used that dude as an example to show how precious it was for him to thoroughly reform himself.


    Old Madam Qin put down the teacup with a joyful look and said slowly, “Sister-inw, I have to thank you for working as a go-between. Although my daughter is such a poor girl that her father passed away before she gets marry, she is lucky to have an aunt who thinks of her all the time.”


    Old Madam Yang turned around andughed, with her golden-brown coat looking dazzling, “My seventh niece is of course a lucky girl. This third master of the Han is already a Bing Sheng (schrs who live on government grants) at a young age. His engagement was dyed because he has been following Old Master Han in other provinces. Now that they’vee back to the capital, people were queuing up to set him up with the girls in their own families. I only mentioned Seventh Lady to them once. However, our girl has a reputation for her talent, and Old Master Yang and Third Master Yang both adore her a lot. Then they have asked me to serve as a bridge to this marriage.”


    “What a great marriage it will be!” Minn tried to be cooperative and acted very cheerful.


    “It’s all because you have thought of my girl, sister-inw. I don’t even know how to thank you.” Old Madam Qin held Old Madam Yang’s hand intimately. Thetter chuckledcently with her crow’s feet seeming so obvious, “Third Master Yang of the Han family loves literature since he was a little boy, our seventhdy is also well-educated. Now that Old Master Han happened toe back to the capital, I see their marriage a bless from God!”


    For the moment, everyone in the hall started to give congrattions. Old Madam Qin’s smile had never seemed so genuine.


    Minn knew why she was so happy. This was indeed a great engagement for Gu Tingcan.


    After the death of Empress Jing An, the royal pce was thrown into a turmoil. A lot of the royal membered had been put into prison. Emperor Wu’s daughters had also been affected. They had either married to some random guys or died in depression. Only a few had a happy ending, and that included Grand Princess Qing Ning and Grand Princess Qing Chang.


    Grand Princess Qing Chang’s blood mother had deceased before Empress Jing An had, therefore, she had dodged the catastropheter and grown up peacefully. After that, the brother of the former emperor had betrothed her to a man who was well-matched to her.


    Grand Princess Qing Chang was very popr in the imperial court as well as the royal family and had been favored by the former emperor. The most important thing was that although her husband was not able to inherit the title of Marquis Zhennan, he was a very diligent man and handled things resolutely, which made him valued by the former emperor. After all these years, the Han’s family was already more prospering than Marquis Zhennan’s family which had gradually declined.


    Third Master Han was from a prestigious family and had powerful parents. Moreover, he was also a highly motivated guy, so Gu Tingcan didn’t have to fear Gu Tingye, her stepbrother, anymore once she got married. No wonder why the two old madams were light up with pleasure now.


    As Zhu shi and Shao shi kept givingpliments, the two old madams got more and more excited talking. Suddenly Old Madam Yang saw Minn being absent-minded and clearly not in high spirits, then she got displeased right away and said directly, “Second nephew’s wife?’


    Minn who was called all of a sudden raised her head right away. Then she saw Old Madam Yang snorting, “Marriage and giving birth to child are two important things for everyone. A girl like you should feel lucky to be able to marry into the Gu family. However, it has been a year you got married, why haven’t you got pregnant yet?”


    Minn cursed inwardly, ‘Damn you, the woman who sat next to you only got pregnant after she married into the Gu family for seven or eight years, I never heard you talking like that to her!’
