Chapter 194: Daughter
Leng Qujing named his and Yu Piaolan's daughter Leng Jiayu.
That day, Leng Qujing's wife, Jiang, came to visit Leng Qujing. She bowed, looked at the little baby girl in the crib and smiled, "This child looks so cute!"
Leng Qujing frowned at her fake smile and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang cleared her throat. "General, my brother from my mother's family came to the mansion today and said... that our mansion has been receiving a lot of criticism in recent days because of Sister Yu's matter. General, I have to say that you have done enough for Sister Yu. We just need to treat Yu'er well in the future so that Sister Yu can rest in peace. There is no need to bury Sister Yu in the ancestral tomb. I promise that I will treat Yu'er as my own daughter."
Leng Qujing replied calmly: "Okay! Since you said so, Jiang, then Yu'er will be registered under your name! From now on, Leng Jiayu is the legitimate daughter of my general's mansion."
Jiang was speechless: "Ah!"
She had only said it casually. Did she really want to register this little girl under her name? Jiang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Leng Qujing's words: "Jiang, starting from this month, this general has decided to give your mother's family fifty taels of silver every month. What do you think?"
Jiang swallowed the words on her lips: "This... Of course it's possible, but..."
Leng Qujing asked back, "Are you lying about treating Yu'er as your own daughter? Don't worry, she's just registered in your name, you don't have to raise her yourself!"
Jiang's last worries disappeared, and she quickly agreed: "General, it's fine. Everything is up to you!"
Lan Qingwu was depressed for some time. She could only copy scriptures every day to pray for Yu Piaolan.
That day, Ruhan returned from outside the palace and reported to Lan Qingwu, "Master, I'm back. Everything is fine with the Lan family, and General Lan is in good health."
Lan Qingwu said softly, "Mother left for the border last year, but grandfather stayed in the imperial city for me."
Or perhaps it was for the Sixth Prince. With so many eyes fixed on Lan Qingwu and the Sixth Prince, this wasn't just a matter of Lan Qingwu's personal favor and honor, but one that concerned the fate of the entire Lan family. Therefore, General Lan had to remain in the Imperial City, on high alert.
Ru Han continued, "Master, I heard that Princess Ding has recently fallen seriously ill. His Highness Prince Ding is extremely worried, and His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Hospital to treat her."
Lan Qingwu thought for a moment and said, "Ruping, take some precious medicinal herbs and some other things and send them to Prince Ding's Mansion."
Ru Ping replied, "Yes! Master, I heard that Princess Ding wanted a concubine this time... His Highness Prince Ding has always loved Princess Ding, but Princess Ding only has one daughter, and this has become a source of worry for Princess Ding."
Lan Qingwu sighed softly, "Princess Ding had lost a child before, so I'm afraid she's really heartbroken this time. Oh, and Princess Yuhua is pregnant, so send someone to congratulate her."
Just before the March Palace Examination, Lan Shuren's sister, Wang Jiaren, was in trouble. Wang Jiaren, Lan Shuren's sister, was already married. It was rumored that Wang Jiaren's husband, Wang Haiyang, had also made the list in the previous year's Autumn Examination. While not as impressive as Lan Shuren, he was still a source of much praise for Wang Haiyang's mother.
The incident that happened to Wang Jiaren this time was that she was bullied by two hooligans when she returned home one evening. Although she was rescued in time, the matter gradually spread and was criticized by the neighbors.
Wang Jiaren's mother-in-law, Zhang, hated Wang Jiaren and made things difficult for her. After Wang Haiyang failed the imperial examination, she could no longer tolerate it and soon reported Wang Jiaren to the government, accusing her of being unfaithful to her husband and being obscene.
How could any woman who was labeled like that have a good ending? Wang Jiaren was taken away by the government and imprisoned in the women's prison.
