That night, Feng Jin Yuan spent the night in Yu Lan courtyard.
When this news reached Tian Xiang courtyard, Kang Yi was waiting expectantly for Feng Jin Yuan to return to drink cross-cupped wine. She had been hungry for an entire day and had not eaten anything. The food on the table was reheated again and again. In the end, news of Feng Jin Yuan spending the night in Yu Lan courtyard came.
The servant, Xia Chan, said to her: "I heard that concubine mother Han suddenly had a stomachache and invited master over. Perhaps it's because he truly could not leave, thus master …"
"It should be so." Kang Yi had an understanding and magnanimous appearance: "In this world, the son is the most important. Even if master returns tonight, as long as something happens in Yu Lan courtyard, I will have him go over to take a look." While saying this, she changed out of her wedding robe and put on her normal clothes. She then quickly ordered the servants to prepare some tonics. She then said to Xia Chan: "Let's go over and take a look. Sister Han's body is weak. It would be best if something really happened to her."
Xia Chan did not say anything. Kang Yi was now the head wife. She naturally had this authority. Moreover, the matriarch had already given the order to keep her here. The main reason was to observe Kang Yi's daily behavior. Now was a good time.
The tonics in Tian Xiang courtyard were very quickly prepared. Kang Yi did not bring too many people. She only brought Xia Chan and two servants from Qian Zhou. The four quickly headed over to Han shi's side.
Because it had snowed during the day, the road was still very slippery. When they finally arrived at Yu Lan courtyard, they found that the entire courtyard was already pitch black. There was not a single bit of light.
A servant on night watch saw them and quickly saluted. Kang Yi was puzzled and asked: "Wasn't it said that concubine mother Han's body was unwell? I came to take a look. "She had married into the Feng family, thus she no longer referred to herself as" this one. "It could be considered her respect for the Feng manor.
The servant on night watch in Yu Lan courtyard was a little troubled upon hearing this. After stammering for a long time, she finally said: "Replying to madam, concubine mother is already a little better, but her mood is a little unstable. Master has accompanied concubine mother to sleep. To go and disturb her at this time … I fear that it would be inappropriate. "
Kang Yi was startled. She had fallen asleep. This was truly the greatest irony. The new head wife had entered the manor, yet the groom was sleeping in the concubine's room. What sort of situation was this? She had originally wanted to come here to take a look then bring Feng Jin Yuan back, but now that he had fallen asleep, if she insisted on waking him up, that would be her fault. Once Han shi was startled and her stomach reacted, she would have committed a great sin!
Kang Yi's mind raced and she quickly returned to normal, "It's fine, I brought some supplements over. You should accept them first. Tomorrow morning, remember to tell Master that I came over."
"Sigh!" The maidservant hurriedly took the tonics and repeatedly thanked Kang Yi. Only after she respectfully sent Kang Yi off did she let out a sigh of relief. What the hell was this? Fortunately, the new mistress was not angry. Otherwise, this night would not be peaceful again.
On the day of the wedding, Kang Yi was alone in an empty room, but she didn't complain at all. Instead, she said to Xia Chan, "Don't tell mother about this, so she won't worry."
The next morning, Feng Jin Yuan went straight to court from Tian Xiang courtyard. The Emperor had clearly given him five days of marriage leave, but he did not take a single day off.
But today was also the day that the new madam would be serving tea to the matriarch. Kang Yi got dressed early in the morning and went to Shu Ya courtyard with a group of servants.
The new madam would be serving tea to the matriarch, and the concubines would be serving tea to the new madam. That was why when Kang Yi arrived, An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen were already waiting in the hall. Upon seeing Kang Yi enter, they all stood up.
Kang Yi quickly went over to support Han shi and worriedly said: "Younger sister's body is heavy. This ceremony absolutely must not be carried out. Quickly sit down." While she spoke, her expression was calm and dignified.
Han shi's complexion was very good today. She was rosy and glowing. Hearing Kang Yi's words, she became a little shy, as she allowed Kang Yi to help her back to her chair. That appearance was as smug as it could be. However, Kang Yi's attitude was very good. Not only did she personally help Han shi sit down, she also said to her: "Elder sister does not know how to help you. In the future, if there is anything that you need, you absolutely must tell me. Right now, we are all one family. We must take care of the Feng family's children together."
The matriarch saw Kang Yi's expression and these words and was very satisfied. She repeatedly nodded.
Seeing that Han shi had already sat down, Kang Yi finally let go. Returning to the middle of the hall, she received the tea that a maidservant had brought over. Steadily walking forward, she kneeled in front of the matriarch "Daughter-in-law offers tea to mother. Having entered the Feng family, I have only heard about the Feng family's matters. From this day forward, Kang Yi is no longer the eldest princess of Qian Zhou. I am just a daughter-in-law that will take care of mother." Saying this, she raised the cup of tea high above her head and bowed at the waist.
The matriarch's vanity swelled once more. Not even in her dreams did she think that there would come a day when the eldest princess of Qian Zhou would kneel in front of her and say such things. She even called her mother. This sort of honor, regardless of the time, was something that would give her a lot of face!
She smiled and received the tea. Taking a sip, she placed it back on the table. She then personally helped Kang Yi up, repeatedly praising her: "You really are sensible."
"Thank you, mother, for your praise." Kang Yi had truly put down her status as the eldest princess. In front of the matriarch, she acted like a member of the younger generation. This caused the matriarch to feel very happy.
"I have already heard about yesterday's matters." The matriarch gestured to Kang Yi to sit down in a chair before continuing: "Han shi is pregnant. It's inevitable that she will be a bit spoiled. Don't lower yourself to her level." As she spoke, she glared at Han shi, "Jin Yuan is also thinking for the sake of the child in her belly. He is not deliberately making things difficult for you. You absolutely must not take it to heart."
Kang Yi quickly said: "What sort of thing is mother saying. Taking care of the Feng family's children is daughter-in-law's most important responsibility. Since daughter-in-law is the head wife of the Feng family, the child in younger sister Han's belly is the same as my child. Even if husband did not go yesterday, Kang Yi would have advised husband to go. But I did not think that it would alarm mother and cause mother to worry. "
The matriarch smiled and said: "It's good that you can think like this. Either way, that child will need to call you mother once it is born. Whether or not it will have any prospects in the future will depend on you. It's not just the unborn child. The other young masters and young misses in the manor are also the same. "
"Daughter-in-law will follow mother's teachings. I will definitely treat everyone in the manor well." Kang Yi agreed with a smile.
The matriarch saw that her attitude was good, thus she calmed down. She then looked at the concubines and said to Kang Yi: "Sit properly. Allow them to offer you tea."
Kang Yi quickly sat down, and a servant brought tea to the three concubines. The three received the tea and were about to kneel in front of Kang Yi, but Kang Yi suddenly said: "There's no need to kneel. Younger sister Han's body is heavy. There's no need to kneel. Just give me the tea."
The three looked at the matriarch and saw her nod. Only then did they comply with Kang Yi's words. They only bowed slightly and stood to offer the tea.
After the concubines offered the tea, it was the children's turn to greet their mother. Because they had already performed the ceremony yesterday, today was just a greeting. There was no ceremony. Feng Yu Heng also stood in the crowd and politely said a few words to Kang Yi. Everything appeared to be calm.
Finally, all of the rules were followed. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng did not cause any trouble for her, Kang Yi let out a sigh of relief. She was truly afraid that Feng Yu Heng would cause trouble again. She did not care about anything else, but she was worried that she would cause the matriarch to feel annoyed.
Seeing everyone sit down, the matriarch asked Han shi: "Do you feel better today?"
Han shi smiled and nodded, "I feel much better today. Second young miss was right. My heart is not at ease while pregnant. I need husband to calm me down. Only then can the negative energy in the manor be suppressed. "
"Pei, pei, pei!" The matriarch angrily spat out, "What sort of crazy things are you saying so early in the morning? Where is the negative energy coming from? "
Han shi stopped speaking, but Fen Dai interjected, saying: "Concubine mother Han is not wrong. Currently, father is the only man in the manor. The entire inner courtyard is filled with women. Isn't there a buildup of yin energy. Concubine mother is pregnant, so you must have the deepest feelings in this area. "
The matriarch originally wanted to scold Fen Dai a bit more, but after thinking a bit, what Fen Dai said was quite reasonable. If this was any other time, it would not be a problem. Han shi was pregnant, so having Feng Jin Yuan accompany her would be fine, but Feng Jin Yuan and Kang Yi were newlyweds. Sleeping in a concubine's room on their wedding night was already quite outrageous. Could it be that he would have to accompany Han shi until she gave birth?
Chen Yu looked at Fen Dai and Han shi, and her heart filled with anger. She just could not understand. What exactly was Fen Dai causing a ruckus? She had already said the benefits of Kang Yi entering the manor 180 times. Why was it that her fourth sister refused to listen?
She furrowed her brow and thought for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, saying: "Yesterday, at the banquet, I saw his Highness the fifth prince also come. During the banquet, he would occasionally look in fourth sister's direction. Thinking about it, he was also thinking about it. In the past, our manor did not have anyone that could make a decision for us sisters' marriages, but things are different now. Mother will make a decision for us. If fourth sister has anything on your mind, you must remember to tell mother a bit more. "
She used this matter to remind Fen Dai, and it could be considered to have touched Fen Dai's heart. She immediately shut her mouth and thought quickly. When she spoke once more, her earlier words had been flipped: "I heard that worshipping a Bodhisattva can ensure safety. Fen Dai was thinking that father always accompanying concubine mother is not a good thing. Doesn't our family's temple have a Bodhisattva? Can we invite one to Yu Lan courtyard? Have concubine mother personally worship one. First, it will calm your heart. Second, it will keep the manor in check. "
The matriarch knew that this was Chen Yu trying to resolve the situation. Although bringing up the matter of the fifth prince did not make her too happy, if this matter was not brought up, perhaps Fen Dai truly would not be able to keep her in check. In any case, Feng Jin Yuan was saved, thus the matriarch nodded, "There is indeed a jade Guanyin. Later on, granny Zhao will bring you to invite her!"
Kang Yi looked at Chen Yu gratefully then said to the children: "Since you call me mother, I must shoulder the responsibility of being a mother. In the future, no matter what happens, just come and tell mother. In my heart, you and Ru Jia are of the same weight. "
The matriarch felt that these words were very well said and repeatedly praised them. She then recalled something and said: "In the past, the family did not have a head wife, so the manor's finances were always managed by me. Now that Kang Yi has come, I will hand over this responsibility to you. You will need to take care of everything in the manor!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Yi repeatedly waved her hand and exclaimed: "Mother, you absolutely must not!" Seeing the matriarch's puzzled expression, she explained: "Kang Yi is from Qian Zhou and has never been to Dashun. She does not understand the situation here in Dashun, nor does she know what things are good. She also does not know how much money the things outside sell for. In fact, she does not even know what foods the people of Dashun eat. Mother, daughter-in-law absolutely cannot manage this matter."
The matriarch was originally unwilling to hand over this responsibility. Now that she heard her say this, she felt that it was reasonable, thus she nodded and said: "That's fine. Then you will learn from me for a few more days. After you have become familiar with it, I will hand it over to you!"
After she finished speaking, a servant quickly ran in from the outside. Bowing to everyone, she said with a worried expression: "Reporting to elder madam, madam, the ninth, the Ninth Prince has, has arrived at the manor …"
