?Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Beautiful Wishes Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Beautiful Wishes Seeing Granny Chu’s gloomy face, Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled, “I’ve been too talkative.”
She wouldn’t have brought up this issue if there was another way. In large households, ladies usually announced their pregnancies openly, but her young mistress had not done so. She thought Granny Chu, coming from a farming family, didn’t understand the rules of a large household. But it turns out, it’s not that Granny Chu didn’t understand, she simply didn’t want to.
When Mrs. Chen had assigned her to serve Granny Chu, she had even mentioned that if Granny Chu became pregnant and her husband wanted to take a concubine, it would be best to take Qingfeng as the concubine. Qingfeng was not only beautiful but also loyal. It would be better than the family forcing an unruly woman on them at the last minute, which would be troublesome.
Back then, when Granny Chu had left Qingfeng in the capital city, Mrs. Li had held her tongue despite her urge to offer this advice. Thinking about it now, she was glad she hadn’t, which would have only further irritated Granny Chu.
Seeing Mrs. Li’s flushed face, Chen Afu thought she might sincerely be trying to advise her. After all, most women in ancient times held such views. Since she was her housekeeper, letting her know her boundaries would give her a clearer idea of how to handle things in the future.

Mrs. Li knelt, saying, “Your servant understands.”
But she didn’t quite agree. Such beautiful wishes, how many people had made them come true throughout history? Winning a person’s heart is easy, but staying together until old age is challenging. When a woman grows old and loses her beauty, how many men could resist the temptation of a pretty face?
Of course, Mrs. Chu made it happen because she has a powerful supporter.
