Chapter 298 Minyan feels wronged
This matter was settled! Buerhe decided to leave the things he brought with him and chat with Minyan before returning to the palace.
After this period of contact and observation, Buerhe has already noticed some clues: Minyan, this child, has been spoiled by him all these years, so that her personality sometimes seems too innocent.
On reflection, this naiveté wasn't entirely a bad thing. After all, it signified a childhood free from hardship, and it also indicated the care and protection of those around her. In the complex environment of the Qing dynasty, receiving such treatment was truly enviable.
However, everything has its pros and cons, and giving birth this time is a typical example. Although Minyan had already made full mental preparations and knew that in today's era, every woman must go through the hurdle of natural childbirth and there is no other choice, deep down she still couldn't help but think of the advanced technologies such as caesarean sections and painless childbirth in modern society.
The more I thought about it, the more confused my thoughts became, and I gradually became anxious and restless. Gradually, nothing seemed to please me anymore.
Fortunately, Bu Erhe arrived in time. Minyan felt like she had seen a savior, and couldn't wait to confess all the grievances in her heart to this close person.
As for Prince Yong's wife, she was considerate enough to give the aunt and niece some time alone, and turned around to personally take care of the lunch arrangements.
Mrs. Zhang was soon respectfully invited to tea by the servants at Junzixuan and was then properly settled in. It turned out that her visit to Junzixuan, where she would stay for several days, was due to a prior appointment with Buerhe. This was all because she had promised Buerhe that she would not leave until Minyan had safely given birth.
At that moment, in the room, Buerhe was softly comforting Minyan, "Don't be afraid. Our Yanyan is a martial artist! Back then, learning horseback archery was so difficult and arduous. To master your archery skills, you wore out countless pairs of deerskin gloves. Your hands were even ulcerated and bleeding, but even so, you didn't drop a single drop of gold. Now it's just a matter of giving birth to a child. This should be a piece of cake for you. How can we cry?"
However, Minyan responded with a sad face: "Uncle, I really don't know what's wrong with me. In recent days, I have always felt anxious and uneasy, and sometimes I can't help crying. Uncle, I miss home so much..." At this point, tears were already flowing like a broken dam.
Seeing this, Buerhe felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Didn't Second Sister-in-law come to visit you? If you really want to return to the Ulanara Mansion, you should be able to go straight back. I'm sure Fourth Brother and his wife won't stop you, right?"
Minyan smiled bitterly and said, "Father and Mother do often write to comfort me, but frequent visits are bound to cause criticism. As for returning home, I am naturally very eager, but those concubines and concubines in the mansion are really a headache.
After being seen by them several times before, they began to whisper and point fingers behind my back. I knew that if I continued to behave this way, it would not only put Honghui in a difficult position, but also cause unnecessary trouble for my mother. So, gradually, I reduced the frequency of my visits home.
Upon hearing this, Buerhe couldn't help but show anger and asked, "What on earth is going on? Could it be that those women in Fourth Brother's backyard dare to ride roughshod over you, the Crown Prince's wife? Are they crazy?"
Minyan shook her head slightly and sighed helplessly. "They never accused me directly, but they often gathered in groups of three or five where I took my daily walks, whispering to each other. I'd occasionally overhear a few words, mostly things like 'you don't know the rules.' Over time, after hearing so much, I subconsciously didn't want to step out of the house again, preferring to stay quietly in the yard and rest assured with my pregnancy."
Minyan paused, then continued, "Just a few days ago, Mother mentioned her intention to find a good marriage for Yaliqi next year. Somehow, this news reached Concubine Li's ears. Then, perhaps afraid of being reprimanded if she pleaded directly with Mother, she came to me instead. She knelt and cried, begging me to find a good husband for Yaliqi. I... I was..."
Burhe said anxiously and angrily, "What's wrong with you? How could she act like this? Why doesn't Fourth Sister-in-law do anything about it? What's going on in this mansion?"
Seeing how nervous and angry Buerhe was, Minyan quickly reached out and gently placed her hand on Buerhe's arm, trying to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle. I'm actually fine. It was just that the incident happened so suddenly that I was really scared and lost my mind.
I've never met such a completely unruly person! You know, that was my father's concubine, and she actually knelt down and kowtowed to a junior like me. If this were to get out, Brother Honghui's reputation would definitely be greatly affected, and might even be ruined.
Fortunately, my mother acted decisively and immediately ordered the concubine to be imprisoned. She also strictly ordered all the servants present not to reveal a single word about the incident. Furthermore, those who had been gossiping and spreading rumors behind her back were also punished accordingly.
Despite hearing Minyan's explanation, Buerhe still felt unhappy. She wondered, if her fourth sister-in-law had the ability to handle the aftermath so decisively, why didn't she act decisively and nip the problem in the bud? Instead of waiting until things escalated to clean up the mess, she thought.
Is he going to tell me that he's incapable of doing it? What a joke! As the wife of a prince, she's been in charge of the backyard for so many years, and there are only a few people in the palace. Is it possible that she can't manage it well?
However, Bull and Minyan naturally couldn't express these thoughts directly to her face. After all, at this moment, Minyan's emotions were already very unstable. If she knew that her mother-in-law had some unspeakable thoughts in this, it would only make her feel worse.
Buerhe patted Minyan's hand and said gently, "Okay, don't feel wronged anymore. From now on, you just need to stay in this courtyard and take care of your baby. Madam Zhang is very capable. With her taking care of you, nothing will go wrong.
Besides, my second sister-in-law will probably come to visit you tomorrow. When she comes and can be with you, I will feel much more at ease. As for Prince Yong's backyard, you can just relax.
We have both been mistresses for so many years, and I firmly believe that Prince Yong's wife will be able to handle those trivial matters properly. If they still don't know what's good for them and continue to make trouble, humph! Don't be afraid, I have your back!"
Thinking back on all the smooth sailing of the past few years, Buerhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He never expected that after all these years, Yaliqi would still have the courage to come out and make a few moves.
It seems the punishment given to Li wasn't severe enough, and she hasn't learned her lesson yet. And the fourth brother's wife's methods seem to have weakened. Fortunately, everything is relatively stable now. With a little care, there shouldn't be any major disturbances.
After comforting Min Yan, after lunch, Bu Erhe just nodded slightly to Prince Yong's wife about the matters in the backyard. Apart from that, he did not say another word and then returned to the palace.
She also had to go back and tell Yinreng that it was already this late, and there was no need for Honghui, a prince, to work so hard these past few days. It would be better for him to spend more time at home with his wife.
After Buerhe left, Prince Yong's wife collapsed in the main courtyard, at a loss. Her personal nanny was so frightened that she hurriedly poured tea and ordered the court doctor to be called, but was stopped by Prince Yong's wife who had come to her senses.
"Don't, don't shout. You called the court doctor right after the Queen left. It would be bad if outsiders heard it."
Seeing her master's expression, the nanny burst into tears with heartache: "But master, you look very bad, is there really nothing wrong?"
Prince Yong's wife's lips trembled slightly, and her words were a bit disjointed. "It's okay, I'm fine. I just thought of something and got a little scared."
The nanny didn't dare to say anything more. She saw everything that happened just now from the side and knew exactly what the master was thinking now.
When that bitch had urged her master to find a concubine for the prince, she had opposed it. Apart from anything else, when the marriage was proposed, although she had not said it openly, she had secretly promised not to take a concubine.
The rules of the Ulanara family were not uncommon in the capital. Anyone who married into the Ulanara family had only one wife, and when a daughter got married, she was usually the only favorite.
Another thing is that she allowed people in the backyard to gossip in the ears of the prince and his wife. She had advised her master not to be so indulgent before, but her master had already been possessed by evil thoughts at that time and only wanted to establish her mother-in-law's prestige without considering the consequences at all.
In fact, it was just a coincidence today. If the Queen hadn't suddenly come to the house and ran into the Crown Prince's wife, if she had waited for ten more days or half a month, there would have been no trace of this matter.
After a while, Prince Yong's wife calmed her breathing and instructed the nanny, "Madam, please deal with that bitch. As for the matter about Shi and the Second Prince that we've found out about in the mansion, please report it to His Majesty. This is my fault. If you don't kill the snake, there will be endless trouble."
