Chapter 702: You have to fight to survive!
Mrs. Gu was filled with annoyance. The next moment, she slapped her thigh fiercely. "Oh no! I was so caught up in that wrathful curse that I forgot about our business! I haven't even reminded him that his wife is still young and shouldn't be pregnant!"
Nanny Chang was startled and said quickly, "Madam, why are you still thinking about this? Forget it! Be careful that the Second Young Master will cause trouble again. He is not a joke when he gets angry!"
"This……"
Mrs. Gu also hesitated. She didn't want Shen Wantang to get pregnant so early. Of course, it was not because of the age issue. She had a big selfish motive.
The problem was that Gu Qianhan's brain was too smart and sharp. She was worried that he would see through her selfish motives, and then she would inevitably be scolded by him.
Thinking of her son's appearance just now, Mrs. Gu, as a mother, felt scared.
No one wants to provoke an evil star, especially this evil star likes to do what he says and never laughs. If he says that he will make the Duke's Mansion a place of eternal chaos, he can really do such a thing!
Madam Gu covered her head. "Oh, I'm so angry at that evildoer that I have a headache. What's more, the wife that evildoer chose is not a good one. The two of them together are full of tricks. Qian Ling and Yun Lan are both honest and kind people. What will happen to them in the future?"
Just as she was groaning, her maid Ruixue walked in.
"Madam, someone from Yulu Courtyard said that the blood bird's nest you gave to the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress a few days ago has been eaten. They said it was quite nourishing. I wanted to ask if you have any more."
"Finished eating? So soon? Didn't I give you enough to last for half a month?"
"The people at Yuluyuan said that the two masters enjoyed eating so much that they ate a little faster."
Madam Gu nodded. "Okay, since you like it and it works, then keep eating it! Madam Chang, go pack up all my remaining blood bird's nests and send them to Yuluyuan."
Nanny Chang couldn't help but say, "Madam, this blood bird's nest was obtained with great difficulty by the prince. He specially sent someone to bring it to you from afar for your health. You haven't eaten it many times, and you gave it all to the eldest son and the eldest young lady? What are you going to do?"
Madam Gu waved her hand. "I'm in good health. It doesn't matter whether I eat it or not. As long as Qian Ling and Yun Lan like it, it's fine to give it to them. At worst, I can ask my eldest brother to get some for me."
Nanny Chang sighed softly. The Madam really loved the eldest son dearly, so she loved Meng Yunlan as well.
She turned around, took out the bird's nest from the cabinet in the inner room, wrapped it carefully, put it in a box, and then walked out holding the box.
Just as she was about to go out, Mrs. Gu suddenly called her: "Wait!"
Nanny Chang turned around in confusion: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Madam Gu hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "That evil creature just came to make trouble. He thought I was partial and insisted that I treat everyone equally. You should divide the bird's nest into two portions and send one portion to Qionghua Courtyard as well. Otherwise, that evil creature will find out that I gave bird's nest to the eldest brother but not to them and come to make trouble again."
Nanny Chang smiled, "Madam, that's the right thing to do! If you treat everyone equally, the Second Young Master and the Second Young Master's wife will never have another argument. This way, our Duke's Mansion will be harmonious. A harmonious family brings prosperity, Madam!"
"Alright, you only know how to say nice things. That evil creature is so vicious and evil, his blood is so strong that it would be a waste to eat blood bird's nest. If I wasn't afraid that he would cause chaos, I wouldn't give it to him."
Nanny Chang was quite helpless, but she quickly divided the blood bird's nest into two portions, first sending one portion to the first wife, and then sending another portion to the second wife.
In Qionghua Courtyard, when Gu Qianhan received the blood bird's nest, he looked indifferent and had no reaction. He even refused to take the box from Nanny Chang.
It was Shen Wantang who took the box and asked Dujuan to reward Nanny Chang. He said some polite words and asked someone to send Nanny Chang away.
Gu Qianning opened the box and took a look. "This is the blood bird's nest that my uncle sent to my mother. A few days ago, my mother sent some to me. I don't like it and haven't touched it yet! Atang, do you like it? I'll give you some of mine too!"
Gu Qianhan still didn't react after hearing her words, as if he had already gotten used to it.
Shen Wantang's face looked a little bad. She even wanted to give Gu Qianning a smile to express her gratitude, but she found that she couldn't smile at all.
She could only shake her head at Gu Qianning: "No, An Ning, you keep it for yourself!"
A few days ago, the Prince of Nanyang sent people to Beijing to deliver a cart of gifts to Madam Gu and the young Prince Pei Lin'an. Everyone in the capital knew about this, and Shen Wantang naturally knew it too.
She also knew that Madam Gu had sent many of the supplements sent by the Prince of Nanyang to the first house, including this blood bird's nest.
But she didn't think much about it at the time. After all, it was something that her mother-in-law's brother specially sent to her, so her mother-in-law could give it to whoever she wanted. She didn't have a strong possessiveness over her mother-in-law's things.
But she didn't expect that the blood bird's nest was not only given to the first wife, but also to Gu Qianning.
So among the three biological children, only Gu Qianhan is missing!
Gu Qianhan knew from Shen Wantang's expression that she felt sorry for him. He first drove Gu Qianning away, and then drove out the maids and nannies.
After closing the door, he lifted Shen Wantang onto his lap and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking so gloomy? I went to my mother and made a scene, and it worked. Look, the blood bird's nest has been delivered. I'll ask the kitchen to stew it for you later."
Shen Wantang's eyes were red. She raised her hand and touched Gu Qianhan's face, saying softly, "I don't care about this. I just think my mother-in-law is too partial. Other children don't have to do anything to get everything, but you have to make a fuss to get it. I used to think she loved you so much and didn't want to marry into her family. I didn't know you suffered so much."
Outsiders can only see the Duke's Mansion full of flowers and that Gu Qianhan is extremely noble, but they don't know that he is not living as well as they imagine.
Gu Qianhan sighed slightly. "I don't really care about my mother's favoritism and have never made a fuss. My eldest brother is indeed more obedient and filial than me, so it's understandable that my mother favors him. But I overlooked an important issue. If my mother treats me poorly, she will naturally treat you poorly too. You've been implicated by me."
Because only he knew how much his mother loved Shen Wantang in her previous life. She couldn't wait to snatch Shen Wantang to be the wife of her cousin Pei Linan. His mother loved her uncle's only son, so naturally she loved Shen Wantang as well.
So, actually it’s not Shen Wantang’s problem, it’s his problem. His mother doesn’t like him, so she is not as good to Shen Wantang in this life as she was in her previous life.
He only now understood that as long as one is alive, one must fight!
If you don't fight or compete, the only ones who suffer are those closest to you.
