Chapter 238 – Dreams of a primary Wife
”Yanran?” An Zhongtao thought deeply for a moment, “Recently she has been looking good and well behaved, did An Ranyue bully her?”
”Yes, she is still depressed herself, she doesn’t know what has provoked her. But as soon as she mentioned it to me, I then analysed where An Yanyue’s superiority comes from. So please also ask the general to consider our Yanran, if she marries into the Kang Wangfu as a Shu born(concubine’s child), her future days will not be good ……,” Lian Jinrong finished in one breath to see An Zhongtao’s reaction.
An Zhongtao nodded: “In that case, I will consider it, don’t worry.”
Lian Jinrong’s heart rejoiced. If her daughter was to be recognized as her first daughter, wouldn’t she first have to be elevated to the rank of regular wife?
Such a saves the country in twisted way, no one can find a flaw if they want to say anything.
TN: Such a saves the country in twisted way/roundabout way which say the problem cant be solved in direct method

An Qingran came to see Mingchen in the Dongnuan Courtyard and saw that her mother was again in a depressed mood.
Ming Chen’s body had completely healed, and he was looking at An Qinran with bright eyes, babbling something incessantly. When he was excited, the saliva from the corners of his mouth glistened and slid across his face, all the way to his ears, and An Qinran gave him a probing test: “Mother, is Yiniang bothering you again?”
Lian Jingyu looked up in surprise, “What makes you think so?”
”The house is so quiet now, if it wasn’t for the Yiniang causing trouble, how could Mother be depressed?”
“You’re right, last night, your father discussed a matter with me, saying that your sister Yanran, because of her status as Shu a concubine daughter, was afraid that she would suffer in the Kang Wangfu, and was discussing with me about making her a Di daughter ……”
”How does mother think she should become a Di daughter?” An Qingran hugged Mingchen and sat down, but Mingchen obviously preferred her hugging him and walking around, he waved his little hand somewhat unsatisfactorily and fell a handful of hair that pulled at An Qingran’s hair, An Qingran smiled: “Mother, come and save me, my brother attacked me ……”
The depressed mood of Lian Jingyu was forgotten when she was stirred up like this, she went forward and gently pulled Mingchen’s little hand away, then smiled: “Now that Mingchen can crawl, put him down and let him play by himself for a while while we both talk.”
An Qingran placed Mingchen on the carpet and he was overjoyed, crawling forward with great effort despite his clumsiness.
An Qingran spoke, “Mother hasn’t answered me yet, is it to make Yiniang a primary wife, and does Father mean the same thing?”
”Your father didn’t say it directly, I can’t say if that’s what he means ……”
”Yesterday father restored yiniang from a lowly concubine to her original status as a concubine, did he really want to promote her again and again, wanted to make her a primary wife?”
Lian JinYu did not speak.

She really couldn’t understand the General’s meaning, but her heart was uncomfortable.
“Mother, maybe father doesn’t mean that, why don’t you ask for clarification, and avoid thinking about it here ……” An Qingran wasn’t worried about this, she felt that her father shouldn’t be so confused, what Lian Jinrong had done before, he couldn’t have no defense in his heart at all?
Sure enough, in the evening, the General came to Dongnuan courtyard. Lian Jinyu was coaxing Mingchen. He was sleepy, but he just didn’t want to sleep. Just now An Qingran played with him for a while. It seemed that he hadn’t played enough, so after An Qingran left, he yelled at her back for a long time, not knowing what he was talking about.
”Jingyu, how are you thinking about what I told you yesterday?”
Lian Jinyu turned back with An Mingchen in her arms, “General, which thing are you talking about?”
”It’s the matter of Yanran ……,” An Zhongtao sighed and tried to hug Mingchen, but Mingchen ended up crying louder as soon as he saw An Zhongtao, who frowned.
”I’m your father, are you afraid of me or do you hate me?” He looked at little Mingchen with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
This little one, when he was first born, he was full of joy, but he didn’t expect that he would grow up and not like himself.
”Perhaps the General comes rarely and he shy with strangers.” Lian Jinyu explained shyly.
She didn’t want the child to be like this.
Besides what about a little kid this young who doesn’t understand anything.
An Zhongtao pulled the corner of his mouth, and no longer hugged him forcibly, but took a step back to the side: “I would like to put An Yanran under your name and give her the title of Di daughter, so that she will not be compared to others, how about that?”
Lian Jinyu froze for a moment, “Originally she was also my daughter ……”
“When the time comes, have a ceremony to break off the relationship with her mother once and for all ……”
Lian Jin Yu was pleased to hear this, she did not expect the general to mean this, if so, what else did she have to say, so she smiled, “I have no opinion.”
When the General left, Lian Jinyu was so angry that she reached out and ruffled something on the table to the floor, Hong momo saw this and immediately picked it up: “Furen, Don’t be angry……”
When Lian Jinyu saw that she was holding An MingChen’s tiger head shoes, she sighed and took the shoes in her hands, “Hong momo, do you think I have been too inattentive to the General lately, Lian Jinrong has repeatedly been favored and now surprisingly her daughter is still grabbing the title of (Di)first daughter with Qingran, I know what she has in mind, I am afraid she is still thinking of me as the Mistress of family. I believed she has changed, how foolish of me.”
Hong Momo also sighed, “Furen, think on the bright side, after all, the General still favours you, doesn’t he, or else why didn’t he mention making her his flat wife, but only asked you to acknowledge An Yanran?”
”Equal wife? Isn’t it just a matter of time?” Lian Jinyu shook her head with a bitter smile.
Hong Momo did not know how to persuade her, but only said something to make her feel relieved, telling her not to be angry with herself for the sake of her children.
Lian Jinyu would not be angry with herself, but she was already sad and fed up in her heart. When would she ever get out of this?
Hong Momo felt that her mouth was stupid enough, so she hoped that this moment Miss An would come, she was most clever and often her mother would be persuaded by a few words.

Lanxiao courtyard.
Lian Jinrong said as she straightened An Mingxuan’s clothes: “Mingxuan, did you remember what mother told you? Now you must behave well, it is to your own advantage to study well. If you don’t behave well, you will be even less pleasing in front of your father now that you have a younger brother, won’t you?”
An Mingxuan was much more sensible than he had been a year ago, especially after what had happened with Qin Yaozu. He knew that this General’s residence was not his own, and that someone could snatch it from his hands at any time.
Therefore, he nodded seriously, “I remember, Mother.”
“Good then, when you see your father later, you know what to do?”
“Son understands.”
An Zhongtao did come later in the evening. As soon as he entered the house he saw An Mingchen sitting at the table writing. He didn’t make a sound either, he quietly walked behind him and saw that although his writing wasn’t considered to have style, it had improved, he couldn’t help but nod slightly. Lian Jinrong smiled and approached: “General, I have made tea for you ……
