Ms. Doctor Divine

In other mansions, either the King would grant them many servants, or the Ministry of Rites would offer some more. There were never so few servants at a mansion.

However, such a thing happened to Lord Yan’s Mansion, since the Ministry of Rites did not dare to add too many laborers.

The King did not pay attention to the Elder Prince, and the Crown Prince was giving them pressure too. So the Ministry of Rites decided to offend the Elder Prince, who had no rights or power, instead. The Ministry of Rites believed that the Elder Prince could do nothing to them, and even if the Elder Prince made a fuss, they would prove that their actions were legal and sticking to the rules.

Zhou Huaijin felt very annoyed by this undisciplined mansion.

His brother had done nothing wrong. Why was he treated like this?

“Brother, are you really satisfied with your mansion?” Zhou Huaijin asked, as he was frowning.

The tea tasted really terrible.

Lord Yan looked very gloomy, but soon he showed a strange smile and said, “Yes I am.”

“...”

“I should be satisfied, shouldn’t I? It is much better than how I live at the border.”

“...”

“I have been granted a title and I have a mansion of my own. I should have a very good life in the future.”

“...”

“I have already got someone to bring your sister-in-law back here. She is pregnant with a baby and it is not right for her to stay at the border. Now that we have our mansion everything should be fine. We should be able to live a peaceful life.”

Zhou Huaiyan was imagining what his future life would be like. And he even wore a small smile.

He had nothing else to appeal to. He just hoped that he would be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.

Pregnant?

Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan exchanged a look.

For the Elder Prince, it was good news, but for the others, it wasn’t.

The Crown Prince had not gotten any sons yet and yet the Elder Prince was going to be a father...

That child was put into extreme danger.

Zhou Huaijin hadn’t had the intention of getting involved with this matter, but when a child was involved, Zhou Huaijin could not help but say, “Brother, if you can listen to what I say, just don’t bring sister-in-law here for the time being. If the child can stay at the border, he might grow healthily, but this is the capital, you know.”

Zhou Huaiyan was startled for a moment and then he smiled.

His Eighth Brother grew up in the capital and he had been under the protection of the Queen. When he moved out of the princes’ nursery, he was granted with the best mansion, which was in the charge of the Jiang Family. He lived in his own mansion and he had the King’s shield too, even the Queen and the Jiang Family were protecting him. He had been living a very luxurious life throughout his whole life. He just had no idea what life was like at the border. It was not a place for a human being to stay.

If he was alone, it would be okay, but his wife Zhen was a girl, a lady from a noble family and she was pregnant too. He just could not let her stay at the border and suffer.

His Eighth Brother did not understand what was going on. He was not going to take his Eighth Brother’s advice.

Zhou Huaiyan was very aware of this point. However, he knew that his Eighth Brother was showing him care, so he was not going to turn him down directly.

Zhou Huaiyan said, “Eighth Brother, you are being too serious.”
