Third Madam's perfect smile cracked a little, but she was able to make up for it in time. "Today's kitchen brought me some pastries. I saw that it was my older sister's favorite food, so I couldn't help but think of the past and put on the clothes that my elder sister left for me. I have always carefully kept this clothes, and it seems that I can still smell some of elder sister's favorite turtle shell fragrance."

Seeing that he had been brought into the room by her, she laughed to herself and said softly, "When big sister was alive, she was most worried about big sister, so she forced herself to become sick to choose a marriage for big sister. Originally, it was pretty good too, but I heard that it was the eldest son of the family. "Old master is a man, you don't understand the affairs of the inner chamber, so don't blame me for worrying too much. This daughter-in-law has spent more time with my mother-in-law than with my husband.

Shi Yu listened for a long time before gesturing for her to continue.

This was her problem at first, but as a man, he had also heard about the matter of the harem. Back then, his wife had given birth and had been framed, causing him to be more than shocked.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was a bit of a pity. In the past, his wife was kind and refused to take care of the Second Madame's son. Otherwise, wouldn't she have a familiar older brother to rely on?

It was a pity that Taro wasn't even close to him anymore.

Recalling this matter, he frowned in depression.

When the third wife saw that the situation was better, she added immediately: "I am a concubine, and I can't go out. I don't know this family's character, so I thought that if I knew the character of the son of the family who was betrothed to me, I wouldn't have betrayed my sister's good intentions by trying to scare him."

When Shi Yu heard this, he was slightly moved. The Madam had left early, so the direct daughter had not been given to her concubine to raise. But because of this, she could not learn even the slightest of methods in the inner chamber, and Shi Yu himself did not want to let go and let her learn, instead, he might as well find a husband who knew his place. If the husband and wife got along well in the future, there would be no need for any tricks.

Around the time of her birthday, why don't we have a birthday feast for her? It's not too big of a deal, so we can find a crew to sing about her birthday and treat her to a round of drinks. The girls here are still young, only twelve years old, and those older brothers and sisters are no more than sixteen years old.

Liu Yue had learned the last sentence, and had already completely understood everything Wang Yuan had heard and climbed up the wall. Just as she had finished learning it, she thought about it for a while and said: "Previously, I had thought that Third Concubine was not an easy target.

Yi Yue pushed her a little, "What Third Concubine, it's Third Madam, we are about to arrive at Miss's birthday, do not cause any trouble."

"What kind of third wife is she? She's obviously an aunt, but because she's in charge of the family, those people called her Madam. If she's a madam, then wouldn't Second Aunt be a madam as well?" Although the words were said brazenly, but he still lowered his voice. Liu Yue could not completely remember as she had also called her Madam before.

But even so, Yi Yue still frowned: "In the future, don't say such things anymore, and don't talk about Second Aunt anymore."

Liu Yue knew that she made a mistake and did not speak anymore.

Shi Anran was just thinking that their bickering was interesting when she suddenly mentioned Second Aunt. However, she suddenly remembered that she actually had a brother, and for some reason, she seemed to be an unsightly person, and didn't even have any impression of him. If she didn't come back to pay respects to him during the New Year, it would be as if she didn't exist.

Since he mentioned it, there was no way he would throw it down so easily. Shi Anran asked curiously: "My birthday, is big brother coming back?"

"Miss forgot." Yi Yue paused slightly, then said softly, "Eldest Young Master was sent to study at Hanshan Academy in Jiangxi Province."

Only then did Shi Anran remember. His eldest brother was the same age as him, and since he was still having fun on his father's knees, he was sent out of the house to stay at mister's place. He returned home pitifully little, and although he was his father's only boy, he could not be doted on at all. After he had become the Crown Prince's concubine, he had never had any contact with this brother of his. However, when he heard the name of the 'Golden Rankings', it became very popular in the imperial court.

Many times, how well a woman had been in the inner chamber depended on who had the backing of her family. If she was a pillar of talent, why not be intimate with her family? She said, "I remember that Second Madame was very weak. I'll go get some ginseng from my father's side and send it over to her to help her recover."

Yi Yue was slightly surprised, and nodded and agreed.

Shi Anran looked at Liu Yue, and then said: "Before news of father wanting to set up a birthday banquet for me has spread out, go and tell Wang Yuan not to speak carelessly, and give him more silver. I heard that he wants to sell his house to redeem her family, so if you were to give it to him now, he would definitely decline hesitantly, and happily accept it."

Liu Yue laughed: "Miss will tease Wang Yuan then, Qing Yan just stay there and eat and drink to his heart's content, waiting for a good family to marry, yet Miss did not tell him, and even had a gloomy expression, making him nervous."

Shi Anran said with a bland laugh, "You will go out in a bit, and then, tell someone to not come in and disturb me. I am tired, and want to sleep.

Liu Yue replied as she carefully closed the door.

Seeing that she had left her sight, Shi Anran hugged his chest and fell down. Her face was pale white, as if there was a sword in his chest.

It was this year that his entire life had changed.
