"Besides, that Wang family isn't a harmless one either. If it weren't for her flirting with our Qing'er and making advances towards him, Qing'er wouldn't be like this!" the old woman said.

Zhu Ge Hui still frowned and asked, "So, that Wang family is quite pretty?"

The old woman said, "I've met him once. He really has a beautiful face; any man would find it hard to resist."

"She is being raised outside by Qing'er now and has not been brought back home." she said.

"How come you didn't bring it back? My younger brother and sister are the most well-behaved, they wouldn't dare to disobey." Zhuge Hui asked in surprise.

The old woman said, “It was I who forbade him from bringing them home. Those things that other people have used, he'd take a liking to. Let him play with them outside for three or two years and that would be enough.”

“Take her home, and who knows what chaos will ensue? Our Zhuge family won't be the same anymore. You are now the noble consort of a prince,”

"Once the Crown Prince inherits, you will be Anle Hou's concubine. Although our Zhuge family is a merchant family, we still need to pay attention to reputation. We can't let people find fault and drag Hui'er down!"

Hearing the old woman's words, Zhuge Hui gently nodded and said, "Mother, you are thoughtful and wise. Since today our mother and daughter have spoken to this extent, I will not hide anything from you,"

"The Crown Prince told me, once he inherits and becomes the Duke of Anle, then I'll give him a son or two,"

"When the time comes, he'll go and petition for me to become your esteemed consort." Zhuge Hui whispered.

“Really?” The old woman was so surprised that her breath became short.

She immediately cast a wary glance around, making sure there was no one else present, and that her trusted maidservant who had accompanied her was staying at the doorway.

The old woman grasped Zhuge Hui's hand excitedly and whispered, "If you were to bestow the title of 'Lady,' on her, my Hui'er would be even more respectable! When our children walk outside and make friends in the future, it would be better..."

“But, even though this main wife is useless, the fact that she's in that position means my Hui’er, even as a high-ranking noblewoman, will always have to bow her head to her.”

Hearing these words from the old woman, if it had been Zhuge Hui of old, he would probably only have sighed with regret in his heart.

A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, legitimate sons and illegitimate sons, all clearly distinguished!

But now, she won't regret it, because things have taken a turn for the better, and she sees hope.

“Mother, I have something else to tell you privately. You must promise me to keep it a secret and never let slip a word.”

The old woman quickly raised two fingers and said, "I swear on my mother's life, what comes out of your mouth goes into my ears. No third person will ever know."

Zhu Gehui lowered his voice and said, “The young master's younger sister is currently in the palace receiving instruction from the palace maids.”

“It’s possible that the Crown Princess ended up in the Su family. Even if she couldn’t become the Crown Princess, being a concubine would still be secure.”

"The Qi Emperor's health has always been poor, and the Prince is regent. Once the Prince ascends to the throne, our Su family will become imperial relatives. We could be the in-laws of the Empress or a noble concubine. This honor is unimaginable!"

"By then, let my two sons be tutors to the prince. Such honor and imperial grace, even for a bastard, who would dare look down upon him?"

This is a translation.

"As for the mistress in the main house, if she remained childless, my son would be adopted under her name. In that case, the title of this marquisate would still belong to my son."

Hearing Zhuge Hui's calculations, the elder Mrs. Zhuge also saw a blossoming scene in front of her eyes.

Among them, including their Su family, the Su family will also rise with the tide, becoming a prominent merchant family in due time!

“If she were to die of melancholy, that would be even better…” Lady Zhuge suddenly said.

"She's dead, now she's out of the way. What do you think, Hui'er?" she asked again.

>

Zhu Ge Hui shook his head without hesitation, "No, she can't die!"

"Why? Are you just going to let her walk all over you?" the old woman asked.

Zhuge Huidao: "If you want her dead, I have a hundred ways to do it."

But she can't die!

"She's dead, and the Crown Prince will never legitimize me. First, our connection isn't deep enough for him to defy public opinion for me. Second, he simply doesn't have the guts."

"Since the current mistress has passed away, the Crown Prince will definitely need to take another wife. When the new wife enters the mansion, she will definitely be younger than me,"

"Once a new wife gives birth to a son, he becomes the legitimate heir. My several sons will instantly fall out of favor."

"So this current one, perfectly, can't give birth and isn't very capable, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have two children under her nose for three years!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Hui's analysis, the elderly Lady Zhuge suddenly understood.

“Mother, you’re truly senile! You almost drove away a wolf and invited in a tiger instead. It's still my Hui'er who is clever, with better judgment than you!”

"Hui'er, then you just do as you say, your family will fully support you."

The old woman spoke, pulling a purse from her sleeve and tucking it into Zhuge Hui's hand.

"This is a little something from my family for my grandson. Please accept it," she said.

Zhu Gehui lowered his head, unzipped his pouch and took out the contents. His pupils contracted as he looked at it.

Here is the translation of your provided text:

"Mother, this gift is too heavy! I can't accept..."

"Silly Hui'er, you do everything at the Hou Mansion with silver. Don't refuse, just take it all."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Hui smiled gratefully and tucked the pouch away.

"This wealth," the old woman continued, "is nothing compared to the long-term benefits you'll bring our family from your position in the Marquis's household."

“So, Hui'er, you must serve the young master well at the Marquis’s residence and take good care of the two sons.”

“Your wealth and prosperity in your next life, and the wealth and prosperity of our Zhuge family, all depend on you!”

After three or five days of hard work, Yang Ruqing and the Sun family finally moved into their new home.

This new house is a two-entry style, with a large yard in front and a small garden behind. Next to the garden there is a large open space.

“In the past, I planted bamboo. Now, I’ve pulled it up to make space for vegetables.”

When Wan Qingchun came to give a housewarming present, he strolled with Yang Ruqing in the courtyard. He pointed at a large patch of empty land ahead and flatteringly said,

Yang Ruqing smiled, "Well, you thought this through. My mother just loves to grow her own vegetables, so now she has something to do and won't be so bored."

Wan Qingchun smiled and nodded repeatedly.

The two of them patrolled the courtyard once more and then sat down on the porch.

Yang Ruqing said, “Your brother-in-law went to the Second Prince's Mansion as a guest. It is estimated that he will not be back until night.”

"Little brother, after we finish lunch, do you have something urgent to deal with?"

Wan Qingchun said, "Big sister, just tell me what you want. I'm just a idle duke who lives off his wealth and does nothing."

Yang Ruqing smiled, "Then accompany me to Jingtian Street? I've been busy moving these days and haven't been there yet."

"Let's go take a look at the construction progress this afternoon," she said.

>

Wan Qingchun patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll go with Big Sister. Besides, that shop has 30% of my shares, haha, this little family of mine will go with your big family to inspect it together!"
