The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 218 Stepmother persuades Jingshu to find a helper

This is Wang's first time coming to Zhen Guogong Mansion. She was born as a maid of Jingshu's biological mother, Jiang family. Although she has been an official's wife for so many years, she is not an easygoing person and is not good at socializing on weekdays. She suddenly entered

In such a majestic and high-end mansion, the Wang family exudes a sense of restraint and restraint from head to toe.

After entering Qingfeng Garden and being in the splendid hall, where a group of well-dressed and elegant maids were serving tea diligently, Wang became even more cautious and didn't know where to put it.

Jingshu noticed her stepmother's embarrassment and withdrew the maids in the house, leaving only Ziyun, Danzhu and Bilu to serve her. When Amu heard that Wang was coming, she also came from the side hall to talk with her.

Only her family members were left in the house, and Mrs. Wang calmed down.

Jing Shu said in greeting: "There are many things going on in the new year. I have been thinking about my family and I can't spare the time to go back to see you and my father."

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly and said: "Your father and I are doing well, and so is your family. We know that it will be difficult for you to get away from being in charge of such a high-ranking family. I really miss you, so I came here to take a look."

The room was full of her mother's family, and they spoke more casually. Jingshu looked at her second sister and asked Wang, "I heard a while ago that Mr. Zhang went to our house to propose marriage to Lan'er, but you and your father rejected it. The Zhang family went with

Our family has been friends for many years, and Mr. Zhang has no choice. You and your father still feel that something is wrong?"

Without waiting for Wang's reply, Shen Jinglan on the side said with a look of disgust: "The Zhang family is just a family of second-class officials. Mr. Zhang is still only a sixth-rank thrifty person in the Ministry of Punishment. I didn't take a fancy to him."

Wang smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "You don't know that your sister has an idea. If she doesn't like it, there is nothing your father and I can do."

Eminem smiled and echoed: "The second young lady in our family has been high-spirited since she was a child, but now that she is seventeen, she has to hurry up and look for marriage."

Shen Jinglan said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to get married."

Jingshu patted her sister on the shoulder, smiled and teased: "When you become an old girl, I'll see if you are in a hurry."

Shen Jinglan replied: "If you can't marry someone I like, even if you become an old girl, I will never give in."

Mrs. Wang glared at her daughter, then asked Jingshu: "I heard that you have been taking medicine to recover. How do you feel now?"

Jingshu lowered her eyes and whispered: "That's it, I don't think it has any effect."

When mentioning Jingshu's infertility, Amu next to her said with a sad look on her face: "The doctors from the Imperial Hospital have been here many times, and they only found out that it was a symptom of body cold. Our girl's symptoms don't look like those of a mother's fetus."

I brought it here, but it seems like I got it from eating the wrong thing the day after tomorrow."

Eminem sighed: "The eldest daughter of our family grew up in Chaozhou at my maternal ancestral home. The old lady and my uncle looked after her like an eyeball. Everything she ate and used was extremely meticulous and appropriate. No matter what I thought,

I can’t figure out what I ate wrong to cause this.”

Shen Jingxuan interjected: "Aren't the doctors at the Imperial Hospital the most powerful? Since it was not caused by the mother's womb, isn't it possible to cure the eldest sister's problem?"

Mrs. Wang glared at her little daughter and shouted: "Master, please don't interrupt."

Eminem replied: "Although the imperial doctor diagnosed it as an acquired disease, it is difficult to find out what was ingested by mistake to cause the condition, so it is difficult to prescribe the right medicine. I can only try to treat it."

Jing Shu saw that her mother was getting angry again when she mentioned this matter, and she comforted her heartbrokenly: "The matter of the heir also depends on fate, so there is no need to rush into this matter. Maybe one day I will take care of it."

Eminem forced a smile and said: "When our girl encounters such a terrible thing, fortunately my uncle is a good man. Not only did he not complain at all, but he also tried every means to protect the girl."

Danzhu interjected: "I think since I learned that our eldest lady is like this, my uncle loves her even more."

Bilu said: "Isn't that right? I always buy delicious food for the lady. I always buy a lot of it."

Wang glanced at the little girls, then turned to Jingshu and Amu and said, "Although my uncle can be considerate of the eldest lady in our family, he is the eldest son after all. If he continues to have no heirs, I am afraid that the status of the eldest lady will inevitably be lost in the future."

Threatened."

Naturally, Eminem was also worried about this, and said sadly: "I'm also afraid of this."

Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea and said, "There are also mistresses who are responsible for the infertility of wealthy families. They all recruit one of their own to stabilize their status."

Seeing that Jingshu and Amu were silent, she continued: "But you have to choose the person you want, and you have to really be of the same mind as you. Just like Mr. Li, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, Mrs. Zhou, is like our elder

Miss, this is like taking a concubine from his uncle's family

The daughter-in-law has entered the house, and now the little Zhou family has given birth to two sons for the Li family. The two sisters raise the children together, regardless of you and me, and live their lives wholeheartedly. Who dares to take issue with the Zhou family's infertility now?

Come and make up your mind, Zhou's position will naturally be stable."

After hearing Wang's words, Shen Jinglan on the side continued: "It would be a good idea to imitate Empress E's daughter-in-law."

After Wang said these words, she looked at Jingshu.

"Even if I can't give birth to children for the Li family, I won't let my husband bring in any more concubines. I can't raise children born by others as my own." Jing Shu said coldly.

Eminem's face also darkened and he said to Mrs. Wang: "Our uncle is devoted to the eldest lady. He has already sworn to the eldest lady that he will not take concubines."

After hearing what the two of them said, Mrs. Wang showed embarrassment on her face and said sarcastically: "It's really rare for my uncle to love our eldest lady so much, but you can't believe everything a man says. Men can say one thing with their mouths but do the same behind their backs."

Sets are also common.”

She looked at Jing Shu and persuaded her earnestly: "Mother, you may not like to hear what I say, but for your own good, I still have to say these words."

"Now that you have just married your uncle, it is a time when you are deeply in love with me. After a few years, the relationship has faded away, and you still need to have an heir by your side. Even if the child is not your biological child, he or she is of the same mind as you."

It's the same as having your life written in your name. Besides, there are a lot of overt and covert fights in this high-ranking family. If you can have someone around you who can be of the same mind as you, it will also be your help. Your father and I will also

Don't worry."

Seeing that Jingshu was silent, Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears as she spoke: "If you can live a good life, even if I have to live under the Nine Springs in the future, I will have the honor to meet your late biological mother."

After listening to her stepmother's words, Jingshu showed a sarcastic smile on her face and asked: "Mom, if I need to find a helper as you said, who do you think would be suitable to bring in?"
