Chapter 738 He is very good at choosing a wife
Unfortunately, Nanny Chang's comfort did not have any effect.
Madam Gu's face turned pale. "I never said anything when she came back to her parents' home before, but she's been getting more and more unreasonable lately! She's completely ignored all the affairs of our mansion and has thrown the housekeeping responsibilities to me. She doesn't even care about Qian Ling anymore. I don't know what she's putting her mind to!"
Nanny Chang knew better than anyone how much the master favored the eldest son and the eldest young lady. Even though she was scolding them harshly at the moment, she would still side with them afterwards, and even make excuses for Meng Yunlan, so she didn't dare to say anything bad about Meng Yunlan.
After all, similar things have happened before. Meng Yunlan has been married for five years. How is it possible that there are no conflicts between her and the mother-in-law?
Even mothers and daughters can have conflicts, not to mention mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
However, this was the first time that Mrs. Gu got so angry.
Nanny Chang could only say, "Don't worry, Madam. I believe everything will be fine once the eldest young master's wife becomes pregnant. She must be more anxious about this than anyone else. Everything she does is for the sake of having an heir."
Madam Gu was still furious: "I think she's relying on her family's support and is so fearless! If she really cared about having children, she wouldn't be unable to conceive until now!"
"In the past, I was afraid that she would be depressed because of her inability to conceive, which would be detrimental to her offspring, so I never said anything to her and never put any pressure on her. I just quietly invited famous doctors from Dafeng to help her and sent all the good things to her room to help her replenish her body!"
"But it wasn't until today that I realized that her mind was completely devious! She didn't even look at the things I sent her, and she just sent them to my brother-in-law's room! Why haven't I seen her treat Qian Ling so well?!"
Now Nanny Chang didn't dare to say a word.
Because she had already seen that the lady was really angry this time. Meng Yunlan had made some minor mistakes in the past, which were harmless and the lady did not take to heart, but the mistake she made this time touched the lady's sore spot.
"The second son's wife had a quarrel with the second son, but she knew how to cover it up and didn't want me to worry about what was going on in their room. She smiled whenever she saw me, as if she hadn't suffered any injustice at all."
"Meng Yunlan, on the other hand, came in early this morning and started complaining about Qian Ling to me. With a gloomy face, she said Qian Ling had changed his mind and accused him of all sorts of wrongdoings! She even started arguing with Qian Ling in front of me yesterday, not giving him any respect at all! It was only after Qian Ling admitted his fault first that she finally stopped yelling!"
"Isn't that Qiao Zhiyu a relative of the Meng family? He's been obsessed with Qian Ling, causing her endless annoyance. Shouldn't Meng Yunlan feel ashamed and reflect on her actions? Shouldn't she have simply dismissed him? How dare she blame Qian Ling?"
Mrs. Gu said a lot in one breath, venting almost all the anger in her heart. Then she drank some monk fruit tea to moisten her swollen and painful throat.
Ever since she learned yesterday that Meng Yunlan went to Gu Qianhan's study to deliver bird's nest soup, she became very upset and her throat started to hurt. When she woke up this morning, her throat was so swollen that she could hardly swallow anything.
I finally felt better after eating the loquat paste that I keep all year round.
As a result, after a while, the swelling came back and there was a tearing pain. Drinking tea was a torture, but not drinking it would make the pain even worse.
Mrs. Gu knew in her heart that her old illness had relapsed because she was too angry.
It’s not a serious illness, but this minor illness can be very painful.
She paused for a long time before she said quietly, "Madam Chang, do you think Qianhan is actually smarter than we thought?"
Nanny Chang was stunned. Gu Qianhan was recognized as the number one child prodigy in Dafeng, so of course he was smart.
But it was strange to hear these words coming from Mrs. Gu, who favored Gu Qianling.
She asked cautiously, "Madam, why do you say that?"
Mrs. Gu sighed: "The wife he picked is much better than the one I picked! At least, the one he picked is really smart."
Nanny Chang remained silent.
Did Mrs. Gu regret her decision after seeing the abilities of her daughter-in-law, Shen Wantang? Did she feel that the daughter-in-law she had chosen for Gu Qianling wasn't good enough?
"No wonder Princess Ning chose the humble Shen Wantang from among all the noble ladies in the capital. I used to find it strange. How could someone as discerning as Song Yingzhen, who didn't even like Prince Ning when he asked her to marry him, be so attracted to a concubine's daughter from a fifth-rank official's family? It turns out this little concubine's daughter actually has what it takes to be the future mistress of Prince Ning's mansion?"
Nanny Chang was a little confused: "Madam, you..."
Could it be that he wants Shen Wantang to be the mistress of the Duke's Mansion?
Impossible! Even if the master values Shen Wantang's ability, it is impossible for him to surpass Gu Qianling!
As expected, Madam Gu waved her hand and said, "Nothing, just a few words of emotion. Tell everyone below to be respectful to the Second Master's wife. If anyone dares to stop her or disrespect her, they will be sold out. We at the Duke's Mansion cannot tolerate servants who ride roughshod over their masters."
"Yes."
Madam Gu picked up the tea again and took a sip with difficulty. "I can't take it anymore. My throat hurts like someone cut it with a knife. Go get me a doctor."
"Yes, old slave, go now!"
Nanny Chang took two steps out and then turned back: "Madam."
"what happened?"
"Isn't the Second Young Master's wife proficient in medicine? Last time you fainted in Fazhen Temple, it was she who revived you. Otherwise, could you please ask the Second Young Master's wife to take a look at you?"
Madam Gu immediately shook her head. "Do you really think she was the one who woke me up after I fainted? That was a trick that the evil Second Son set up for me! His wife certainly knows some medical skills, but at best, she's only learned the basics. They're just mediocre skills. How can she compare to a royal physician?"
Nanny Chang nodded and said, "You are right. I will go get you a doctor right away."
"Go!"

Qionghua Courtyard.
After Shen Wantang came back, he sat at the desk and began to write the complaint.
She had promised Qi Yu that she would rescue her brother openly, so she naturally had the confidence to do so.
She worked as an aide to Liao Youhe and spent a long time in the Dali Temple. She had read countless complaints and tried countless cases.
Writing a complaint is easy for her.
But before the complaint was finished, someone came to the door.
Nanny Yan came into the study to report: "Young Madam, the eldest Young Madam is here."
Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows slightly: "What is she doing here? Isn't she going back to her parents' home?"
Nanny Yan whispered, "It seems they're here because of the guard kneeling outside."
Of course Shen Wantang knew that there was a guard kneeling outside her yard, and she also knew that the guard was punished by Gu Qianhan to kneel there.
When she went out this morning, she saw the guard, who admitted his mistake and apologized to her, but she pretended not to see or hear anything.
What were you doing so far? Weren't you arrogant when you slapped her in the face yesterday?
But since Meng Yunlan was here, she couldn't help but see him.
She straightened her clothes slightly, stood up, left the study and went to the front hall.
