Yu Yanran received the news from Minglan soon, and was immediately overjoyed. Qin Hao was playing with his son and daughter, and was happy to hear this.
"Gu Tingye always covets our son, and this time he got what he wanted. Let's go, let's bring some supplements and go see Minglan."
Sister Lan put her arms around Qin Hao's neck and asked curiously: "Dad, is Aunt Minglan going to give birth to a little brother and a little sister too?"
Qin Hao was happy. This girl thought that everyone had the same child, that they were two, one boy and one girl.
Yu Yanran also smiled: "I'll go to your Aunt Minglan to talk about this later and make them happy."
The little girl had a confused look on her face and was so cute. Qin Hao kissed his daughter on the face and then took the whole family to Chengyuan.
When they arrived at Chengyuan, they discovered that Kang Zhaoer was actually standing in the courtyard. When Kang Zhaoer saw Qin Hao, he was so frightened that he shivered all over.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yanran looked at Qin Hao suspiciously, and Qin Hao explained in a low voice: "This is the concubine of the Kangwang family."
"What?" Yu Yanran's eyes widened: "Then why did she appear here?"
"Wouldn't it be better to go in and ask Minglan? It won't be a good thing anyway!" Qin Hao had seen how rogue the Kang Wang family was.
"Aunt Minglan, we are here to see you." Sister Lan said sweetly, and she started shouting before she even entered the room.
Minglan was sitting on a chair drinking tea at the moment. When she saw Sister Lan coming in with her short legs, she couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Gu Tingye also ran back quickly and hugged Minglan as soon as he entered the house.
Xiao Tao and Dan Ju were frightened: "Master Hou, be careful."
It was also the first time that Minglan saw Gu Tingye so happy, so she let him hold her.
Finally, Gu Tingye regained his senses, put Minglan down, and stood there alone with a silly smile: "I have a child."
At this time, Sister Lan remembered her mother's instructions before coming and ran to Minglan: "Are there a little brother and a little sister living in Aunt Minglan's belly?"
This sentence instantly amused everyone in the room, and Gu Tingye hugged Sister Lan excitedly.
Yu Yanran had already held Minglan's hand and shared her experience in protecting the fetus: "Minglan, you are not yet three months pregnant and the fetus is not firmly seated. You must be careful and don't get angry. Do you understand?"
Before Minglan said anything, Xiao Tao complained next to her: "The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is trying to find ways to torment the eldest lady day by day, and it never stops. Didn't they just send a concubine from Aunt Kang's family, saying that she wants to give it to the Marquis?
I am my concubine."
Minglan's face also changed slightly, she glared at Xiaotao complainingly, and Yu Yanran patted the back of Minglan's hand.
"Do you still want to hide this kind of thing? If you can't tell me, I'll go and tell the Kang Wang family that I'm not so shameless in Bianjing City, insisting on giving a concubine to someone as a concubine, but I am
Let’s see where the Kang family’s face goes if we tell you!”
Minglan and Yu Yanran hugged each other and felt deeply moved.
Gu Tingye looked confused: "What concubine? Why didn't I know?"
Danju told him about today's situation. When Gu Tingye heard that Ming Lan almost had fetal irritation because of this, he was so angry that he directly took the sword to kill Xiao Qin, Aunt Kang and the others.
Qin Hao also sighed: "This Kang Wang family is indeed in disgrace. Previously, Kang Zhao'er was originally given to me by the fortress, but I pushed her back. Unexpectedly, she was sent to Chengyuan again. This must be another time.
It’s what my aunt meant.”
Gu Tingye shouted: "Let her go! If she dares to step into Chengyuan again, I will break her legs."
Kang Zhaoer, who was in the yard, suddenly rushed in, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried.
"Cousin Minglan, please save me. If I go back like this, the eldest lady will definitely not let my little mother and brother go. Please give me a way to survive."
As he said that, he took out a small dagger from his sleeve and put it on his neck.
No one in the room expected that things would develop like this, and no one reacted.
Yu Yanran was also shocked.
Qin Hao saw that there were blood marks on Kang Zhaoer's neck and knew that she came here with the determination to die. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. Being born into an official family was actually a good birth, but he met a poisonous woman like Kang Wang.
Luck is extremely bad again. If Wang Ruofu is like the Kang Wang family, it is estimated that even Minglan will have a hard time making a comeback.
"Do you think your mother and brother will be safe if you die here? Stop dreaming. With Wang Wang's character, how could she allow her concubine to divide her son's property when she grows up? If you die, you just give it to
She is just a bargaining chip to help the evildoers."
There was a look of despair in Kang Zhaoer's eyes, and the dagger in her hand gradually became loose. Qin Hao took the opportunity to pinch her wrist, and with a strong force, the dagger fell to the ground. Xiao Tao saw the opportunity the quickest, and rushed forward to grab it.
Kang Zhaoer lost his last support and collapsed on the ground, his face covered with death.
Gu Tingye was not stupid either. He immediately thought of the sinister intentions of the Kang Wang family: "This Kang Wang family has such vicious intentions. He wants to use the life of the concubine to hold me back!"
"Kang Wang and you have no grievances in the past and have no enmity in recent times. I'm afraid I can't think of such a vicious plan. This matter has nothing to do with my aunt." Qin Hao shook his head gently. Kang Wang wanted to marry his daughter so that he could do it from now on.
Taking advantage of Gu Tingye to benefit the Kang family, and forcing Kang Zhaoer to die was obviously the last resort that Prince Kang thought of after being reminded by Xiao Qin.
This little Qin is really good at it. She keeps tempting others to join her in the battle. She will share in all the benefits, and her reputation will not be damaged even if she fails.
Minglan finally relented and asked Kang Zhaoer: "Do you want to be the main wife or the concubine?"
Kang Zhaoer said quickly: "Cousin, no, Mrs. Gu Hou, I want to be the main wife, even if it is an ordinary family. My mother has said never to be a concubine for others, and don't live a life like her that is worse than a pig or a dog."
Minglan sighed: "In that case, I will find a home for you and I won't wrong you. You can live a good life from now on."

Yu Yanran hated the iron and said: "If you get married, it will be difficult for the Kangwang family to handle you in the future, but your mother and brother will be safe."
Qin Hao thought for a while: "As far as I know, Mr. Kang is a scholar, and he still wants to save face. As long as he pierces this layer of window paper, I think Mr. Kang will not dare to go too far."
Since ancient times, heirs have been related to family inheritance, and the probability of children dying in ancient times was extremely high. Even a concubine would not allow the Kang Wang family to be too presumptuous.
Seeing that Minglan was soft-hearted, Gu Tingye stopped targeting Kang Zhaoer. After thinking for a moment, he said: "As far as I know, Mr. Kang behaved badly. He had a child with his concubine during the national mourning period. He was reported and lost his official position. Now
He is moving around, why not take this opportunity to beat him up."
Minglan nodded, and then said to Kang Zhao'er: "In this case, you can rest assured that you will get married. I will find a suitable family to place you in."
"Thank you very much, cousin, Gu Hou, Qin Hou, Mrs. Yu for your kindness and kindness..." Kang Zhaoer kowtowed while crying, and was pulled up by Minglan.
"Well, I have suffered a lot in the Sheng family since I was a child, but compared to you, I am lucky. It is not easy for us women to live in this world, so why bother to make things difficult for each other," Minglan comforted.
Naturally, Qin Hao and Gu Tingye were responsible for beating Mr. Kang, and the Sheng family was responsible for helping Kang Zhaoer find a suitable family member.
Xiao Tao brought a message to Old Mrs. Sheng. When Old Mrs. Sheng heard this, she was so angry that she scolded Wang Ruofu and made her kneel down in the Shou'an Hall. The surrounding doors and windows were wide open so that all the servants could see clearly.
After Sheng Hong came back, he was also called to Shou'an Hall for a lecture. He was very angry when he heard this.
"This Kang Wang family is simply unreasonable. They are using the face of our Sheng family to subsidize their Kang family. If word spreads, outsiders may think of our Sheng family. In the past two years, our Sheng family has never troubled Marquis Ningyuan.
We must save this friendship for critical moments and use it!”
Mrs. Sheng glanced at Wang Ruofu: "Now do you know why I punish you?"
Wang Ruofu knelt so hard that his legs became weak, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows she was wrong."
"That's all, just don't have any contact with the Kang Wang family in the future." Mrs. Sheng said and looked at Sheng Hong again.
"You can ask Dafang to help Kang Zhaoer find a good family in Jinling City. Although she is a concubine, she is still a member of the official family of Bianjing. Choose a well-matched one. Don't humiliate the family. It can also be regarded as a good thing for Minglan.
Let the child in your belly accumulate some merit."
Sheng Hong nodded: "But it depends on mother's orders."
On the other side, Mr. Kang went to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire about information. Recently, he had met many people and had basically taken care of it. However, when he came to the Ministry of Personnel that day, he found that his former colleagues were staring at him with a strange look.
.
"Master Liu..." Master Kang raised his hand and was about to salute, but the other party raised his hand to stop him.
"Master Kang, who have you offended recently?"
Lord Kang was agitated when he heard this, and he thought about it carefully: "Master Liu is very aware that he has been living in seclusion as a low-ranking official recently and has never had any grudges with others."
Mr. Liu stared at Mr. Kang with a sly smile: "If you say no, then I won't be able to help you. I'm afraid you won't be able to make up for the shortcomings this time."
Mr. Kang's mind was buzzing. How much money did he spend and how many connections did he make to get this job? If he loses this opportunity, it will be difficult to get such a good position in the future.
There was no shortage of officials in the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, there were more wolves than meat. When a position was vacant, many people were watching.
"Master Liu, there is someone..."
Mr. Liu leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Mr. Kang, we scholars all talk about self-cultivation, ordering the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. You have already suffered a loss by misbehaving during the funeral last time, and this family will also be uneasy in the future.
There will be endless troubles.”
This is the limit of official talk. If Mr. Liu had not been favored by Mr. Kang's father, he would not have said so much to him.
Mr. Kang was not stupid. He knew that something must have happened at home, so he rushed home, but met Sheng Hong on the way.
Sheng Hong said to Mr. Kang very rudely: "You and I are also brothers-in-law. If you have anything to say, I will just say it directly. You and I are both scholars and are familiar with the classics of saints. It is better to save some respect. You
The concubine Kang Zhaoer begged my Minglan to give her a way out. My Minglan is kind-hearted and has found her a concubine in Jinling City, which is better than being a concubine."
Master Kang was confused by the scolding. The first thing he suspected was Wang Kang, who was not at home, so he called her servants over for interrogation.
After some coercion and inducement, the servant confessed what Prince Kang had done. Master Kang was ashamed and angry after hearing this. He regarded himself as a scholar. Although his ability was average, he still maintained a certain degree of nobleness as a scholar.
"Go quickly and call that bitch back!" Lord Kang roared angrily.
Not long after, Aunt Kang was called back.
Aunt Kang had just had a drink at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and her face was still a little red. When she saw Mr. Kang sitting in front of the hall, looking at her with a gloomy face, she still didn't understand the situation, so she said sarcastically.
"Hey, why do you have something to say to me today? Why don't you go find those Yingying Yanyans of yours?"
Master Kang couldn't bear it anymore, slapped Aunt Kang on the face, pointed at her nose and yelled: "You bitch, do you want to sell my daughter to someone else as a concubine?"
Aunt Kang was stunned for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she pushed Mr. Kang away with the strength of her drink and said sarcastically: "So what? She is just a concubine. When she gets married in the future, she will need a dowry to marry her."
There's nothing wrong with being a concubine. Don't you always say that your brother-in-law Sheng Hong likes to go to camp and loses the character of a scholar? Now let's just go to camp for a while. "
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kang Da is so popular that his hands are trembling: "Bah, wishful thinking, do you really think of yourself as a person? You can play with the two princes.
Now, let's dream. Zhao'er has gone to Jinling now. My brother-in-law made a special trip to talk to me today, which made me so embarrassed that I had no place to put it. You also messed up the matter of filling the vacancy.
It's all the fault of you bitch because of your cleverness."
Aunt Kang subconsciously retorted: "It's impossible. I just sent the person to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday. If the person is sent away, the lady will definitely notify me."
Master Kang sneered: "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Who do you think the Marquis of Jinghai and Marquis of Ningyuan are? They are all-powerful in the court and have made many meritorious deeds. How can the Madam, who is just a female figure, defeat them?"
"Then the feud between Ningyuan Marquis Gu Tingye and his stepmother is well-known to everyone in Bianjing City. You want to make friends with his stepmother. Can he tolerate you putting a nail next to him?"
Aunt Kang was a little dumbfounded for a moment: "I...I am doing this all for the sake of the Kang family..."
Seeing that she still didn't repent, Lord Kang slapped her again: "If you really think about the Kang family, stop your unrealistic thoughts. From now on, the stewardship of the house will be handed over to Jin Xiaoniang. From now on,
, you stay in your yard, if you dare to step out of the house, I will divorce you with a divorce note!"
"you dare?"
"Why don't I dare? Just picking out one or two of the things you have done over the years is enough to discredit the Wang family. If you don't believe me, just give it a try!"
"you......."
Aunt Kang looked at her husband's leaving figure and was trembling with anger: "Humph, just wait for me. My mother and brother will return to Beijing in a while. It'll be up to you how you explain to them then!"
In Jinghaihou Mansion, Qin Hao had just returned from the court meeting that day and was about to play with the children when Yu Yanran kicked the two children out.
"Husband, there are still a few concubines at home, why not choose a few more."
Qin Hao was a little confused: "Why did you suddenly think of taking a concubine for me?"
Yu Yanran pursed her lips: "If my husband hadn't left home several times on errands, I would have taken in concubines for him long ago. The noble families in Bianjing have at least seven or eight concubines. This huge Jinghai Marquis Mansion usually has seven or eight concubines.
It’s also deserted and the courtyard is full of people.”
Qin Hao patted his thigh and motioned for Yu Yanran to sit up. Yu Yanran hesitated and sat down obediently.
"You are just worrying. Did you listen to someone else's gossip? They are just full and have nothing to do. They are jealous of you and want you to live the same life as them. You are so stupid that you really believe it.
"Qin Hao said angrily.
Yu Yanran said aggrievedly: "But husband, our family only has Sister Lan and Brother Ming. Isn't it too deserted?"
Qin Hao hugged her waist and joked: "Since I think there are fewer children, my wife should work harder."
"Go, you're not serious anymore." Yu Yanran pushed Qin Hao angrily and tried to stand up.
Qin Hao pulled her into his arms and said seriously: "It is your responsibility to produce heirs, and you cannot shirk it."
With that said, before Yu Yanran could react, he threw her on the bed.
Soon, a vague sound of breathing echoed in the room.
.......
Three months later, it was midsummer. Qin Hao returned home from court as usual, only to find that Qin Liu and Qin Junye were also there. After asking, he found out that Yu Yanran was pregnant again. Not only that, Qingmei was also pregnant.
.
Now the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion was completely lively. There were quite a few noble family members in the name of visiting. Minglan was the first one to come, and she was accompanied by Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye said to Qin Hao with some jealousy: "Aren't you too efficient? Is there any secret?"
Qin Hao was delighted: "Doesn't the Ningyuan Hou Mansion have a secret?"
Gu Tingye thought about it and felt that he usually didn't work hard enough. In the future, when Minglan gets better, he must work harder.
Yu Yanran was also pulling Minglan to whisper: "Your Aunt Kang should have stopped recently, right?"
"Well, I've been having a good time recently for a few days, but it's coming to an end soon. The Wang family will return to Beijing soon, and Master Kang probably won't be able to contain her," Minglan sighed.
Yu Yanran suggested: "How about you move to my house to raise your baby? Let's see who dares to be bold in my house!"
Minglan laughed out loud: "Look, you are a mother twice. Why do you still talk about children like this? How can a pregnant woman live in someone else's house to raise a baby? You are not afraid of people's jokes!"
Gu Tingye thought this was a good idea: "The government will soon send me to Quanzhou to patrol and anti-smuggling. I'm afraid this trip will take at least a year and a half. I'm really worried about you being alone at home. I'd rather stay at my cousin's house."
Only then can I feel at ease.”
"Then I'll bother Sister Yanran and brother-in-law." Minglan looked at Gu Tingye's worried face, fearing that he would be distracted while running errands, so she finally agreed.
