Chapter 555 Joy and Sorrow

So she has always been focusing on the prince, hoping that when he gets the power, she can go to him legitimately.

If there is one, there will be two.

Since she gave birth to the prince's first child, she can give birth to the second, third, and fourth...

So in the past few years, although the prince has not come many times, she still gave birth to another daughter, who is now raised in the Ling family.

Princess Min was going to take another child into the palace, but the concubines were also keeping a close eye on her. The fact that the prince's wife gave birth to a son was almost exposed before. If she put a daughter in with her son, I am afraid that the past will also be brought up. Therefore, she gave up this idea.

It must be said that Shang Qinniang's fate has also changed a lot because of this daughter.

Although she is only one year old now, she is smart and cute, and people like her at first sight. The prince is like this, and so is Princess Min.

Therefore, when looking at Shang Qiniang, he was also particularly tolerant, and never mentioned that she had served the old prince in the past.

Shang Qiniang had been a humble servant for more than ten years in the Duke's Mansion, so in front of Princess Min and the prince, she was still as obedient and gentle as ever, which made the mother and son very satisfied, thinking that she was not a scheming person who was difficult to deal with, so they tolerated it.

Look, the prince's hand was groping and wandering around her body, and the meaning was clear. Shang Qiniang's eyes made the prince more and more itchy.

She had suffered a lot in the past, so now that she had the opportunity to live a good life, she naturally wanted to grasp it.

Now her daughter is one year old. If she wants to enter the mansion smoothly, the safest way is to get pregnant again, so she also tried her best to cater to the prince, and the sound of the two people teasing and playing came from the room.

The parents of the Ling family in the next yard were holding their granddaughter, who was not related to them, and they were smiling happily.

"You are the golden nugget of our Ling family. Even if you grow up and enter the mansion in the future, you must remember your grandparents' house, okay?"

The little child was amused and giggled, and her pair of radiant peach blossom eyes looked very much like Shang Qiniang.

Although the parents of the Ling family had impure intentions and wanted to use them to climb up the social ladder, fortunately, they were really good to Shang Qiniang and the child, so the relationship between the father and the mother was very harmonious.

After the prince stayed for a long time and left, the mother of the Ling family immediately sent the pregnancy medicine. This prescription was obtained by them with great difficulty. The medicine was very effective and ensured that Shang Qiniang gave birth to two children smoothly.

She raised her head and drank it in one breath. Shang Qiniang took a piece of candied fruit and held it in her mouth to remove the bitterness, and then said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to bother you, mother. Where's Bao'er?"

"She's playing with your father in the house. She's really smart. She can walk and talk at only one year old. Let's teach her. When she can say the word 'father' more clearly, we'll send her over next time the prince comes to have fun."

Although the Ling family's parents and Shang Qinniang are not biological children, they are better than biological children.

Her parents in the past, one would only beat and scold her for being a useless daughter, and the other would only silently tolerate and ask her to do the same, so Shang Qinniang had no feelings for the parents a long time ago, and this was even more so after so many years.

And the reason why she asked the prince and Princess Min to help her get rid of her biological father was just to make them think that she was a person with conscience, so she was not stingy with anyone or anything that could be used.

Then, she took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it over.

"This is what the prince left when he came just now. I don't need much money at home, so mother, please accept it. It's the New Year, so we should prepare it well and have a happy reunion year as a family."

The face value of the silver note of 10,000 taels is nothing to the prince, but it is a huge sum of money for the Ling family.

And this money came easily, so the mother of the Ling family took it with a smile and patted her chest to guarantee.

"Don't worry, I will definitely use this money for you and Baoer, and I will never let you and your daughter suffer."

"Thank you mother for your sympathy."

The two looked at the bowl of pregnancy medicine, hoping to get good news in a few days, so that she would have the opportunity to enter the mansion legitimately, so after drinking the medicine, she went to lie down.

Seeing this, the mother of the Ling family also withdrew, and before leaving, she also told the maids serving her to heat the ground dragon to make sure it would not be cold.

The Ling family had a good dream, but the poor Fifth House of Shang Qinniang, who was from the same clan, had a bad time this year.

In the Osmanthus Alley.

As soon as Sanlang's wife left, the people in the Fifth House looked at the "big but not thick" New Year gifts, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

In the years since the Fifth Old Master passed away, the Fifth House's life has been getting worse day by day.

Now that the eldest brother has also been sentenced to exile, their New Year is even more miserable. The Fifth Old Lady cried until her eyes were almost blind, but there was nothing she could do.

Now that the Fifth House has no people and no money, how can it possibly give Shang Yuding a way out? So this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to return alive.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang are now the masters of the family, but the setbacks they have encountered in the past few years have completely made them lose the arrogance they had in the Duke's Mansion.

With the family property they have divided, they can still eat and wear warm clothes, but they can't have more surplus.

"Look at the way Third Sister-in-law wears gold and silver. It's really enviable. How can brothers from the same clan live like this? To put it bluntly, isn't it just her who knows how to climb high? Every day she goes out and talks about how she and her sixth brother and sister are doing. If my relationship is good, how can the business of this shop be bad?”

Wulang's wife has not been having a good life these years, so she has become more and more mean. She doesn't give face to anyone when she speaks, and wishes to embarrass everyone so that she can feel more comfortable.

"Will you die if you don't speak?"

Shang Wulang also had strong opinions on this daughter-in-law, but she still held some dowry brought by her mother's family, and from time to time she was needed to supplement the family's income, so it was not easy to completely break up with her.

When Wulang's wife heard this, her true nature was even more obvious, and she spoke at the top of her lungs.

"You're celebrating the New Year, you're cursing me to death? You're planning on killing me, your real wife, to make room for your little goblin outside."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the little goblin come from?"

"You still don't admit it? You're the seventh family in Baoyin Lane. Do you think I don't know about your bad things? My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandmother are all here today, so let's tell them and let everyone comment!"
