Chapter 413 Causes and Consequences 1
The beautiful concubine Su Ling felt uneasy after being invited. She subconsciously touched her belly, and then with the help of the maid, she went to the main courtyard and met the head mistress Wu and Mr. Wang.
"I have met the madam and the master!"
Su Ling bowed softly, revealing what she thought was the most beautiful side face, allowing Mr. Wang, who was above him, to have a panoramic view. His eyes just flickered, and then he turned his attention to Wu. After all, she was the one who summoned her.
"You're pregnant, sit down and talk!"
"yes!"
Su Ling didn't dare to make a mistake. She knew the methods of this mistress. She had to behave obediently to make a living under others. Even if she was pregnant now, as long as the child was not born, she would not be considered her. reliance.
"I called you here today to reassure you. As long as your child is a boy, he will be remembered in my name and treated as his legitimate son. He will inherit the royal family's property in the future. As his biological mother, you will not be able to enjoy the rest of his life. Complete wealth."
"Thank you for your love, Madam. I will definitely raise the baby well and live up to the expectations of Master and Madam."
Su Ling stood up and bowed again.
"Before that, I called the master here just to talk about the family property. Zhenzhen and Yingying are also your daughters, but because they are girls, they cannot inherit the family property, but you cannot treat your two daughters badly."
"Of course, they are both my flesh and blood. I will prepare a generous dowry for each of them, so that they can have the confidence to marry. The Wang family has been royal merchants for generations, and ordinary nobles can also marry."
Mr. Wang touched the beautiful beard on his chin and said with a smile.
"Master, it's not just the dowry, the two of them also share in the Wang family's wealth. The real estate will be left to the son, and those are the chickens that lay golden eggs. As for the other money, it will be divided into two and given to the two daughters. If you have money, you can keep it with you. Even if they don’t get married in the future, they can still live a happy life.”
Wu raised her eyelids and said calmly.
"this"
Mr. Wang hesitated, but Wu did not give him this chance.
"If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. Su Ling's children will always be born from concubines. Even if they are boys, it will not be easy to inherit the family business in the future. Those side branches are not vegetarians."
Mrs. Wu picked up the tea bowl, skimmed the tea leaves, and took a sip.
After Su Ling heard this, her hands under her sleeves immediately clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her palms to keep her calm and not lose her composure on the spot.
If the mistress of the house refuses to record her child in her name, the child will always be a bastard. It is not impossible for a bastard to inherit the family business, but it is extremely difficult for a bastard to inherit the family business.
Because he will not only face difficulties from the head of the family, but also from the side branches. If he is not good enough, he will receive a share of the family property in the future and then be divided. At most, he will be taken out to support her. This depends on the head of the family. people's attitude.
Mr. Wang knew in his heart that since taking the concubine, the relationship between the two could only be regarded as respectful. Without the intimacy of the past, he understood that the wife was seeking benefits for the two daughters.
What's more, he didn't know whether the concubine was giving birth to a boy or a girl. He didn't want his wife to feel cold. He had already taken a step back for the sake of the family. This time he wanted to protect his wife.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Mr. Wang said decisively.
After getting the approval, the Wu family began to prepare slowly. She wanted to settle everything before the concubine gave birth, and she did not want to alarm the Wang family branches and the Wu family members.
Of course, as the head matron, she also gave Su Ling a beating:
"Mother Ling, in ancient times, mica was valued based on its child, and the same applies to you. Now your biggest task is to raise the fetus and give birth to a healthy child so that the Wang family can gain a foothold. No matter how much you think about other things, it's useless. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Su Ling understands! You must bear in mind Madam's advice."
Su Ling bowed and saluted, and then returned to his own courtyard with the fetal medicine that the master had rewarded.
When the door closed, her face darkened. She was unwilling to accept it. As long as the baby was a boy, everything in the Wang family should belong to her son, not the two girls. But she also knew her identity and current situation. status, the prerequisite for all of this is to be able to give birth to a son.
Su Ling lowered his eyes and touched his belly, which was not yet pregnant, and murmured to himself:
"My child, you have to give your mother some credit, everything here should be yours!"
The maid on the side looked at her nose and heart, without any expression, and gently fanned herself.
"Madam, don't worry too much. It's not good for the fetus. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of the fetus. You can think of other things."
"Of course I understand, but how can I not worry? Go and bring me a cup of bird's nest."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid bowed respectfully and brought a cup of bird's nest after a moment.
"Madam, this is made from boiled blood swallow. It not only beautifies the skin but also nourishes the fetus. It was specially made for you at the master's command."
"The master is interested."
Su Ling was in a much better mood at this time. She happily drank a cup of bird's nest and lay down to rest. She had become more lethargic since becoming pregnant.
The maid put away the soup cup, quietly exited the inner room, and stood guard outside.
Wu knew what Su Ling had done that day. She just smiled coldly, and then sped up her movements. When Su Ling was pregnant for ten months and the child was born, Wu also built two treasure houses, which would belong to The wealth of the two daughters was put in, and each of them was given a key to the treasure house to keep for themselves.
Su Ling gave birth to a boy. Mr. Wang was so happy that he named him Wang Yaohui himself and made Su Ling his concubine. However, the Wu family always kept a calm face and recorded Wang Yaohui in her name as agreed, making her the Wang family's concubine. legitimate son.
Although it was recorded in Wu's name, Su Ling could always find various reasons to visit the child. Wu directly asked her to take the child to her side to raise. Su Ling then sincerely apologized and moved out of the Wang family. The master begged for mercy for himself, and then left the child with Wu.
Su Ling was not stupid. If she really took the child to her and raised it, it would be equivalent to letting others know that the child was a bastard, and everything she wished for would be in vain. Then she completely stopped and stood in her small yard. I don't dare to mention my children anymore.
Spring passed and autumn came. When Wang Yaohui was five years old, Wang Zhenzhen and Wang Yingying also turned sixteen. They reached the age of proposing marriage. Because of the wealth of the Wang family, there were many families who coveted the two of them, and those who wanted to marry also broke through the Wang family's threshold.
For the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Wu had to entertain those who wanted to marry her. In the end, she held a red plum banquet directly at Hongmei Villa, and asked interested parties to bring their young masters there, so that her two daughters could observe in secret. , choose the person you like.
It was at Hongmei Villa that Xu Fengze met Wang Yingying, and they also staged a scene of a hero saving a beauty.
The two sisters encountered masked gangsters while picking plum blossoms in the plum forest of Hongmei Villa. Their target was the two sisters. The first wave of attacks were blocked by the guards around them, and the remaining people protected the two ladies. Go to the front yard for help.
At this moment, Wang Zhenzhen's personal maid suddenly became angry and put a dagger on her young lady's neck.
