After all, Hua Yufei was still a young lady who had yet to leave the pavilion, so she did not consider the matter of Yuan family getting pregnant. However, the Countess and Mrs Liu were experienced. Thinking of this, the two of them looked at the Yuan clan with burning eyes.

However, the old mistress' gaze was fierce, while Mrs Liu's gaze was filled with excitement.

From Mrs Liu's point of view, if the Yuan clan really became pregnant, then the housekeeper would have to work very hard for her. Instinctively, she felt that this was an opportunity for her to control the clan.

The madame waved her hand and said, "I'm a little tired from wasting so much time today. All of you can leave now."

After everyone had left, the old lady called her trusted aide over. "Go and check if the Yuan clan is pregnant!"

She felt that her control over the Yuan clan compound had been greatly reduced. If the Yuan clan was really pregnant, and she did not hear anything about it, then it could only mean that the Yuan clan had already controlled the backyard well.

The madame could not tolerate such an outcome.

On the way back, Mrs Liu purposely slowed down her footsteps. When the Yuan clan was about to catch up, Mrs Liu said: "Eldest Sister-in-Law."

Although the two of them were sister-in-law, they had known each other for quite some time. However, the two of them rarely visited each other. Today, Mrs Liu actually took the initiative to speak to her. This caused the Yuan clan to be extremely surprised.

"What's the matter?" Yuan clan asked.

"Nothing special. I just want to take care of my sister-in-law." When he spoke, his gaze was clearly directed at the Yuan clan's stomach.

The Yuan clan was naturally clear that the Liu clan was suspecting something.

Hua Yuan followed closely behind and asked innocently, "What are you two talking about?"

Mrs Liu said, "Aunt is asking your mother if she has a baby in her womb."

After today, Hua Yuan knew that he wouldn't be able to hide this matter any longer. However, it was still beneficial for him to reveal this information. Although the madame would be dissatisfied with her mother's pregnancy, and even if she did not want her mother to give birth to a son of the Hua family, she did not dare to act brazenly.

Although there were many dangers lurking around, this was a good opportunity for Aunt to establish her own house. In this kind of environment, in order to protect the child in her stomach, wouldn't Aunt earn a living as well?

Hua Yuan, on the other hand, acted as if she didn't know this, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Is this for real? Is the Iris going to have a brother again? "

Yuan Shi looked at Hua Yuan with a complicated expression.

His own daughter should have grown up carefree. However, she had actually learned how to disguise herself when he was unaware of it. She actually did not know what had happened to her daughter in this house to the point of learning all this.

Had he done something wrong? The Yuan clan thought, I really can't continue to be like this. In this mansion, the old mistress' attitude towards me is the same as this. He had thought that she would treat him kindly as her own granddaughter, but now it seemed that the old mistress wanted him dead immediately.

Yuan clan smiled and said, "Yes. However, the month is still too short. I intend to wait for three months before sitting in a stable fetal position first."

Mrs Liu nodded, indicating that she knew. Then he continued, "Sister-in-law has thought that the madame will take advantage of her pregnancy to place the authority of the steward in her hands."

The Yuan clan replied, "This seems like something that the Old Granny would do."

"How would sister-in-law react?"

"I know that you have taken a fancy to this butler's rights. However, to me, I do not know the difference between the old mistress' butler and yours. "

The place where the two of them were standing was empty, but they were worried that someone would listen to their words.

Mrs Liu smiled and said: "Eldest Sister-in-Law, why not come to my place?"

"Sure."

As Hua Yuan listened to their conversation, she knew that her mother was able to make the right decision this time.

"Bai Qin, let's return to the courtyard as well."

At this time, Mrs Liu and Madam Yuan were sitting opposite to each other. Mrs Liu called the maidservant to serve tea. "There's nothing good here. Eldest Sister-in-law, please don't mind it."

Yuan Shi drank a little and said, "This is a good tea."

"Sister-in-law was asking me if there was any difference between my power over the family and the madame's power over the family. "I think sister-in-law already knows the truth. The difference is huge."

She picked up the cup of tea by her hand and drank some without paying much attention.

Yuan Shi smiled but didn't reply.

Mrs Liu said: "I've been in the Hua Manor for so long, even though my husband didn't crawl out from the old mistress' stomach. However, in the old lady's heart, although she doesn't like me, she is not so simple to dislike her eldest sister-in-law. "

She often saw the vicious killing intent in the old mistress' eyes when she looked at the Yuan clan. It was a deep hatred! Although he was curious about the reason, it was still a good thing for him.

Yuan Shi said, "You're right." But in fact, I still think it would be better to have the authority of the housekeeper in my own hands. "

Mrs Liu was not anxious when she heard this, but slowly said: "I know, how about I make a deal with my elder sister-in-law? In my opinion, the Hua Manor will eventually have to be divided. Before the branch family split, elder sister-in-law cooperated with me and gave me the authority to be the housekeeper. I promised that I wouldn't interfere in the matters of elder sister-in-law's courtyard. "As for the madame, what does she want? Maybe I can help her!"

Mrs Liu was a very scheming person, and the Yuan family was very clear on this point.

At the same time, she was a person without principles. If she could not work with him here, she would be able to get the madame to work with her.

However, although the Yuan clan did not feel that there was anything worthy in vying for the authority of the steward, they felt that the authority of the steward was in their hands now that they were pregnant. No matter what they did, there would always be a sense of security.

She did not immediately reject Mrs Liu, but said: "I have remembered what you said. I will consider it."

"I have plenty of time anyway. I'm afraid the madame won't give her sister much time to think about it."

The Yuan clan nodded slightly and left.

In Hua Yuan's courtyard, Hua Yuan was currently filling bottles of newly brewed tea. In total, there were two small jars of tea. These were the things she was prepared to give to her mother.

This was a herbal tea that she had specially made according to medical knowledge and was beneficial to both the mother and the baby.

The matter of his mother's pregnancy could no longer be considered a secret in the estate. Since it's like this, you have to be prepared! With this scented tea, even when my mother is giving birth, the danger of having a difficult labor will be reduced by a lot.

"Miss, Miss Dean gave you a letter."

Hua Yuan put away the flower tea before taking the letter from Bai Qin and unfolded it. She couldn't help but laugh.

He really was a glutton.

The letter said that she had finished the pot of homemade tea that Hua Yuan had given her. Part of it was that he and the Grand Princess had finished making the tea, while the majority of it had been used by her to make the snacks.

She even said that the smell was really beautiful.

The Grand Princess coughed a lot during the night after drinking this scented tea.

In the end, he bluntly told Hua Yuan that he wanted to ask for more scented tea.

Although A-Qiao's words were rude, Hua Yuan really liked the way she spoke to him.

He smiled and instructed Bai Qin, "Bai Qin, I remember that there's still two jars of scented tea from last time, take them out."

"Yes, miss."

Then he joked: "Miss Du is more happy than Miss Du to be able to make things that please her."

Hua Yuan said, "That's only natural. My item can please others. This is the happiest thing in the world."

Looking at the time, it was still early. Hua Yuan had originally wanted to send someone to deliver the items. However, thinking that he still had some things he needed to buy, he decided to make a trip himself.
