Chapter 330 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 11
"Okay." Ling Ruo agreed readily, "Since it is what Grandma and Mammy asked, I will naturally agree to it."
The old lady and Nanny Cui looked at each other, unable to believe that Zhai Lingruo agreed so easily.
Last time, Zhai Lingruo didn’t understand her hint, and it was unclear whether he really didn’t understand or was pretending, so this time the old lady went straight to the point.
She had already decided that if Zhai Lingruo disagreed, she would use her status to pressure her, but she didn't expect that the matter could be resolved so easily.
Jiang Huaiqing was also a little confused. Zhai Lingruo agreed too readily, which reminded him of the last failure when his son became a servant's son.
It couldn't be that the grandmother didn't like Nian Tan and wanted a son with noble blood, and didn't want Nian Tan to be registered under Zhai Lingruo's name, so she deliberately let her son be registered under the name of a servant.
Otherwise, why must it be recorded with Matron Cui instead of the maidservant beside Lingruo?
It was obvious that she didn't want Zhai Lingruo to take care of this child. He thought that although his grandmother didn't like Xintang, she also loved her great-grandson Nian Tan. Maybe his grandmother did it on purpose to bring Nian Tan into the house so that he would have a weak spot and would have to bow to her.
The old lady never thought that her good intentions would make her grandson hold a grudge against her. She had only told her grandson that Ling Ruo didn't want to register the name under the servant's name, but she didn't tell Jiang Huaiqing that Ling Ruo originally wanted Nian Tan to register the name under the name of the nanny she brought with her.
So this misunderstanding was formed so beautifully, and there was something wrong in Jiang Huaiqing's eyes when he looked at the old lady.
"Madam is so kind." Nanny Cui kowtowed to Lingruo several times.
Jiang Huaiqing's expression also improved. He originally thought that if Zhai Lingruo disagreed, he would persuade her with both emotion and reason, but he didn't expect that this would not be necessary at all.
"After all, Nanny is a member of the Marquis's Mansion and a capable steward of Grandmother. If you ask me for something important, I will naturally agree."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps she was not straightforward enough last time and her granddaughter-in-law did not hear her hidden meaning. This time she directly stated her purpose and it was achieved so easily.
If I had known this earlier, I would have directly said that he would be adopted under the name of Zhai Lingruo, so as to expand the Marquis's mansion.
The people in the room chatted about family matters for a while, and the old lady gave some more instructions, asking Jiang Huaiqing and Zhai Lingruo to work hard and get pregnant as soon as possible.
Zhai Lingruo looked shy, but actually she was calm inside.
The old lady had almost finished her words and could not help but start to talk more, advising Lingruo to be magnanimous, saying that there would be many concubines coming into the mansion in the future, and by then she must behave like a dignified mistress and be tolerant of others.
Zhai Lingruo nodded one by one: "Grandmother, I know. Although I have just entered the mansion not long ago, I am the only one in the mansion who is favored by my husband. My husband is also chaste and has never had a concubine or a maid. Although Huai Qing did not mention it, I cannot monopolize the favor, so I am willing to welcome some sisters into the mansion."
The old lady sitting on the main seat was surprised. She had never expected Ling Ruo to be so considerate. She couldn't help but feel more satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law.
"No." Jiang Huaiqing quickly objected, "Ruo'er and I have been married for a short time, there is no reason for me to take a concubine so soon."
He already had a wife, which made him feel very sorry for Xintang. Xintang's identity was also somewhat awkward. Not only did the old lady disagree with her entering the mansion as a concubine, but Xintang was also unwilling to enter the mansion.
If he takes a few more concubines, Xintang will probably be jealous again.
"It's okay, Huaiqing, I don't mind." Zhai Lingruo acted like a virtuous woman.
In the original plot, the original owner took on the name of a jealous woman who was unwilling to take a concubine for the Marquis's Mansion because of Jiang Huaiqing's suggestion. But now, Ling Ruo would agree to whatever the old lady said. As for the refusal, Jiang Huaiqing could worry about it himself.
She is the most generous and virtuous wife of the Crown Prince.
Jiang Niantan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly started crying, and the whole place was in chaos.
"Why don't you take the child away quickly?" The old lady ordered the servants, and Nanny Cui retreated with Jiang Niantan in her arms, crying.
Seeing his son crying, Jiang Huaiqing naturally felt a little distressed, but the most important thing now was to reject the old lady. He quickly gave Ling Ruo a few looks, but unfortunately the woman seemed not to see it and ignored him directly.
I could only helplessly say: "Grandma, Ruo'er and I are newlyweds now, it's a bit too early to talk about this, let's talk about it in a few years."
The old lady also knew that she couldn't push too hard on this matter. After all, there was a vixen outside. Before, Huai Qing was reluctant to marry a wife or a concubine, and it was only after she threatened the vixen's life that her grandson gave in and got married. Naturally, she couldn't push too hard.
But the old lady couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she saw that Jiang Huaiqing seemed to like his new wife very much. She also couldn't help wanting to take a few concubines for him. She definitely couldn't let Zhai Lingruo have the exclusive favor of her grandson.
Fortunately, Zhai Lingruo was sensible and did not object. However, her grandson refused, which made the old lady feel disgusted with her granddaughter-in-law again.
Even without the seductress outside, there is still one in the mansion who enjoys the favor of her grandson.
After paying respects and returning to Qingyouyuan, Jiang Huaiqing couldn't help but get angry with Zhai Lingruo.
"Why didn't you refuse my grandmother's request to take a concubine for me today?"
Zhai Lingruo sighed softly: "It's my fault. I forgot that my husband can't be humane."
What does this have to do with whether he can do it or not?
"It's fine if I suffer alone, but how can I let other women in and let my husband harm other women? If grandma brings it up in the future, I will definitely refuse on behalf of my husband."
Jiang Huaiqing's face turned pale and blue. It was obvious that Zhai Lingruo admitted her mistake and would reject her grandmother on his behalf in words and deeds, but he felt that something was wrong.
What Zhai Lingruo meant was that he was not worthy of other women? He could not let other women in because he was not good enough, not because she was jealous, and certainly not because they had a good relationship.
But I don't want him to harm other women.
Jiang Huaiqing took a deep breath, "Lingruo, you are fine."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Zhai Lingruo looked calm, as if she could not see the hidden anger in Jiang Huaiqing.
"If you have nothing else to do, please go back. I need to write a letter to my father and brother."
She and Jiang Huaiqing did not stay in the same room, except for the day when she returned home to perform for the old lady, Jiang Huaiqing slept on the couch and she slept on the bed.
The next day, Zhai Lingruo had the couch replaced with a similar one from her dowry.
Jiang Huaiqing knew that she had written a letter to the Zhai family to invite a great scholar, so he immediately suppressed his anger, nodded, turned around and left.
He is going out of the house to meet Xintang.
Ling Ruo naturally had to write a letter, but not to the great scholar. Instead, she wanted to ask whether Zhai's father and brother were well and safe.
This was also said to fool Jiang Huaiqing and make him get out of here.
