Chapter 150 Silver
Time passes.
Today is the day to distribute the monthly salary.
Aunt Man not only received her monthly allowance, but was also rewarded with a hairpin by Qin Shuyu.
As a concubine, she was not favored, and Xie Yuchuan would not reward her with anything. But receiving this exquisite hairpin made of pure gold made concubine Man in a very good mood.
The servant who was serving him praised with insight:
"Aunt, you look so elegant and graceful when you wear this hairpin. Compared with the girl in the east yard, you are really a world apart."
"The one in the east courtyard, you haven't worn such a beautiful hairpin since you returned home."
"Look at her, she is so poor and money-loving, and she thinks she is favored by the Marquis all day long, but the Marquis has never given her anything as a reward."
Aunt Man has been feeling a little depressed these days.
But when she heard the servants belittle Shen Wei to elevate herself, she felt as if she was stepping on Shen Wei under her feet. She suddenly felt relaxed and her spirits also improved a lot.
"She is so conceited that she thinks she is unique."
"Don't you think about it? Flowers don't last forever. No matter how favored she is, it doesn't matter. She doesn't have the family background of the mistress. No matter how much the marquis favors her, he will not divorce the mistress who is equally matched with him for her."
"I am different. I accept my fate. I know that I am destined to be cautious. Only by trying my best to curry favor with the mistress can I live a comfortable life."
Aunt Man couldn't let go of the hairpin. She held it in her hand and looked at it again and again, thinking to herself that she was smart and knew who she should please the most in this mansion.
suddenly,
A feeling of discomfort churning in her stomach made Aunt Man angry again.
Feeling hot and uncomfortable all over, Aunt Man turned her anger towards the maid who was fanning her from behind.
"The fan is so small, are you fanning the mosquitoes, or are you just trying to please me because I'm your aunt?"
Seeing Aunt Man open her mouth to scold again, the maid's eyelids twitched.
Thinking about Aunt Man’s mood changes in recent days, it’s really a bit abnormal.
The maid said cautiously, "Auntie, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."
"I have counted the days for you. It seems that you have not had your period for half a month."
"And your recent irritability seems..."
The maid dared not make any guesses before the doctor took her pulse.
But Aunt Man understood what she didn't say.
She thought about it and realized that her period had indeed been delayed for half a month. It was all Shen Wei's fault. He had made her go to the farm to work and made her so tired that her period was often delayed.
If the maid hadn't reminded her this time, she would have almost forgotten it.
Aunt Man was overjoyed and quickly ordered, "Quick, go and ask the doctor to come over."
A quarter of an hour later, the maid called the doctor over. After the doctor took the girl's pulse, he found that she was indeed pregnant.
Aunt Man was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, with a look of disbelief and surprise on her face: "I, I'm really pregnant... Quick, go and tell the Marquis about this happy event."
When she was the only one left in the room, Aunt Man happily stroked her belly which had not yet bulged.
She is so lucky!
This is the Marquis's first child. It would be even better if it was a son.
Although his status is not as noble as that of the legitimate son, and he will not be eligible for the hereditary title, as long as she has a son, she can rely on her son to gain status as a mother. In the future, she will not need to please the mistress and can gain a foothold in the marquis's mansion.
As long as she had the child in her belly, she would not be easily driven out of the house, and she would never, ever go to that shabby and torturous farm again.
Whenever she thought of the hard work she had to do day and night in the farm, she would be frightened awake even in her dreams.
"Son, my son......"
"You must give birth safely and healthily."
"God bless me, it must be a son, so that I can have someone to rely on in the Marquis' Mansion."
