A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

The Ji Family’s old lady said every day that they didn’t need to do this, but they just wouldn’t listen.

In the end, with no other choice, the pregnant Wang Dongxue invited them to the courtyard for tea and a chat, and only then did they realize that at the Ji Family, a daughter-in-law taking the initiative to establish rules was a mistake!

"Mother knows that you two sisters-in-law are filial, and it’s enough that her old heart understands, there’s no need to stand guard under her eaves before dawn.

Mother is getting older, her health isn’t very good, having Nanny Zhang by her side is enough, and if there’s any problem, she’ll inform us first thing.

Also! The men of the Ji Family are very faithful; outside, they basically don’t have any flings, so for the purpose of expanding the family line, we’ll have to rely on ourselves. If you are truly filial, wait for the brothers to return, then do your best to let mother hold a grandchild as soon as possible."

Uh...

Wang Dongxue’s words made people slightly blush, and also gave an impression as if she was boasting that among the Ji Family’s daughters-in-law, only she was pregnant!

No!

Actually, Zhu Xiuxiu was also pregnant, but she just hadn’t made it public.

"Elder Sister-in-law is right, so we won’t go to mother’s courtyard so early in the future."

"It’s not necessary to go that early in the morning, but you should still go during lunchtime.

Both Xiuxiu and I are pregnant, Xiuxiu has just passed three months of gestation, but it’s still not stable, which is why she isn’t leaving the courtyard much. In the future, visit mother’s courtyard more during the day to keep her company.

Additionally, Eighth Sister-in-law, prepare yourself, because tomorrow you’re going to the palace with Ninth Sister-in-law.

Suisui will be going too!"

"Yes! I understand."

Xiao Zhenzhu’s heart suddenly jumped when she heard Wang Dongxue’s words.

"I... I’m entering the palace tomorrow, in that case..."

"Your status is special, and entering the palace as a daughter-in-law of the Ji Family should be better for you, but in that case, Sixth Sister-in-law might need to go as well."

Wang Dongxue gently touched her belly and asked Hu Shu’Er.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, would you be willing to accompany Eighth Sister-in-law for a trip?"

Hu Shu’Er was taken aback and involuntarily pointed at her nose.

"I... I can also enter the palace?"

Wang Dongxue just giggled.

"Of course, even though father-in-law isn’t here, the Ji Family still plays a significant role in the empire’s stability, especially your husband. Do you know how many soldiers on the Xiling battlefield use weapons he improved?

That, for him, is a significant achievement, one even my husband can’t compare to, so as wives gaining honor from our husbands, when you visit the palace, the Emperor and Empress Dowager will surely bestow some rewards upon you."

Hu Shu’Er opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Is my husband really that impressive?"

"Sixth Sister-in-law might not be aware, but in mother’s heart, the person she worries about the most is your husband. His martial arts aren’t high, and he’s quite honest, yet with his mechanisms and hidden weapons, he’s the most powerful.

In the past, our Emperor used to search everywhere for him, but now, the new Dongyue and Beiyuan royal families are sending people to capture him.

He’s unaware of these matters, and we’ve all kept it from him, with the Eighth Brother secretly sending people to protect him.

I’m telling you this today so that you have a clear understanding and don’t reveal you’re Ji Youlin’s wife when you’re out. Keep your identity hidden and pay attention to safety.

Of course, Steward Liu will also have someone secretly protecting you!"

Wang Dongxue explained everything necessary, and as it got dark outside, a young maid arrived.

"First Lady, the County Master of Qingping has arrived."

"Ninth Sister is here!"

Xie Pan’Er entered and called out, "Elder Sister-in-law."

"Let me introduce you. The one sitting to the left is your Eighth Sister-in-law, and the one to the right is your Sixth Sister-in-law."

Xiao Zhenzhu and Hu Shu’Er stood up to greet Xie Pan’Er.

"Greetings, County Master of Qingping!"

"Both Sisters-in-law, just call me Pan’Er. I’m the goddaughter of the Ji Family’s old lady, ranked ninth in the family, and I’m your younger sister!"

"You’re ranked ninth? You’re Ji Youze’s Ninth Sister?"

Xiao Zhenzhu suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.

"Yes, you can just call me Ninth Sister in the future, Eighth Sister-in-law."

"So you’re the future Empress of the Great Han?"

She remembered a sentence Ji Youze said during their negotiation in the past.

Xie Pan’Er blushed slightly.

"It’s still in the selection stage; nothing is confirmed yet!"

The meaning within those words was clear: entering the palace was inevitable.
