In the Duke's Mansion, Mengxuan, the wife of the Crown Prince, was handling housework. Feeling a little depressed. He rubbed his temples. The maid next to me hurriedly handed over a cup of tea.
Mengxuan took the tea and drank it and continued to deal with the affairs. At this time, a maid from outside came in and said, "Madam, your uncle is here."
Mengxuan heard people outside saying that her uncle was coming, and stood up quickly. My younger brother, Tong Fu, has been on a business trip for half a year. She got the news that her brother's business trip was not going well. Now that he is back safely, his worries are relieved.
Ping Tongfu came in and saw his sister with tears in her eyes. He walked forward and said, "Second sister, what's wrong with you? I'm fine, why are you crying?"
Mengxuan wiped her tears: "Don't cry, I'm so happy! I hope for the stars and the moon to finally bring you back. Have you gone back to see my mother? My mother has missed you for the past six months."
Ping Tongfu nodded: "I have already met my mother. She is very good, you don't have to worry. Second sister, please don't work too hard." It's very tiring to take care of such a big thing in the Duke's Mansion.
Mengxuan smiled and shook her head: "This is what I should have done. There are people below to help me. I'm fine. But you, you have lost weight and become darker after being out for half a year."
Ping Tongfu didn't say that the business trip was extremely thrilling. He smiled and talked about anecdotes along the way. After talking for about a quarter of an hour, the prince came over.
What should Ping Tongfu say to this brother-in-law! For the sake of my brother-in-law, I'm being polite. Other than that, there is nothing else. So what I said at the moment were all polite words.
Ping Tongfu went back after eating.
Mengxuan sent Ping Tongfu away with red eyes, then looked back at her husband: "I made the prince laugh." She couldn't help herself when her brother returned safely this time.
The Crown Prince Luo Dahu smiled and said nothing. He was interested in making friends with this brother-in-law, but it was obvious that his brother-in-law didn't like him. In fact, Luo Dahu didn't know why his brother-in-law didn't want to see him so much now. I remember that we got along pretty well before. Even when I got married to my wife, we were quite friendly. But the longer the time goes by, the less affectionate and polite I become towards him. At first, he wanted to understand the reason and repair his relationship.
Speaking of which, his brother-in-law is also a talented person. Those who were awarded the title of Jinshi (Jinshi) on the second list and became officials through the imperial examination were also good in skills and were capable of both civil and military skills. The future is bright after joining the officialdom. But for some reason, he finally surrendered to His Highness Lingcheng. Team too soon.
Because of this, his father asked him to stay away from this brother-in-law. His father told him that his brother-in-law was very ambitious. If you win, you will reach the sky in one step. If you lose, you may have to involve your family. After listening to his father's words, he became increasingly estranged from his brother-in-law and barely spoke to him.
Mengxuan didn¡¯t know what the prince was thinking. He just talked softly about some things in the mansion. Of course it was something she couldn't handle.
After hearing this, Brother Tiger mostly nodded: "You did the right thing in this matter. There are some muddy waters and we can't get involved." Speaking of which, he was very satisfied with his wife. He is a good manager of the house, he handles things properly inside and out, and he is also very decent in external interactions. He has never been distracted by the affairs of the house.
Mengxuan smiled gracefully after hearing this: "It should be." This is his job.
The couple were talking when they heard someone coming from outside say: "Master, Mrs. Master, Aunt Hua is not feeling well and wants to call a doctor."
Brother Tiger looked at Mengxuan.
Mengxuan smiled and said, "The prince is going to see my aunt first. I will ask someone to get the right cards and ask the imperial doctor to treat my aunt Hua."
Brother Tiger nodded and went out.
Qiqi, the maid next to Mengxuan, said bitterly: "Madam has a good temper, let this bitch make fun of her." Sometimes she really felt that Madam Prince was too kind.
Mengxuan smiled and said, "If she wants to give you a hard time, let her do it!" Both the Tai Madam and the Duke's wife are very polite people and will not treat you particularly leniently just because of your special status.
Qiqi stomped her feet, her wife was really anxious.
Mengxuan waved her hand and said, "You go down first!" This girl was given to her by the old lady, and she couldn't let her know many things.
Mengxuan thought about her grandma who was going to take care of her in old age. Without her, it would be like missing an arm. She sighed heavily. Originally, the family was enjoying themselves happily. But her brother had ambitions, so she didn't tell her this time, but she knew very well that it was extremely dangerous for her brother to go out on business this time. Wealth is found in danger, and if you want to be prosperous and wealthy, you have to pay a huge price. She was just such a younger brother. If possible, he sincerely hoped that Brother Fu would not fight.
The maid Ziyi next to Mengxuan brought a cup of tea: "Madam, the more Aunt Hua works, the better. Then let Mrs. Tai know how she can still dance." It is said that the Duke of the country was here at that time.There are only three legitimate sons because the wife does not like concubines. All the rebellious aunts were sold out by the dowager. Now the wife only lives in the temple and does not care about the affairs of the mansion. In addition, the Crown Prince's wife has a good temper, and the woman relied on the support of the Duke's wife to be able to dance around without knowing how to live or die.
Mengxuan didn¡¯t speak, just drank tea quietly. Soon I got the news that Aunt Hua was pregnant. Mengxuan was not surprised. Her husband doted on Aunt Hua and did not use any anti-child medication. Getting pregnant is only a matter of time.
"I just didn't expect that Aunt Hua would give birth in less than three months, and the person who administered the medicine was the person she sent to serve Aunt Hua. Because of this incident, the prince was furious and believed that it was her fault. He also said that she could not tolerate others.
She immediately went to the main courtyard and knelt in front of her mother-in-law: "Mother, just because I did such a thing to my aunt's maid, the prince decided that I was the one who ordered Aunt Hua to have an abortion. My daughter-in-law has never done anything like this. Please ask mother to investigate this matter thoroughly." Aunt Hua considers herself to be her mother-in-law's niece, so she knows how to deal with it. But he didn't know that the Duke's Palace had the rules of the Duke's Palace. It was too naive to think that a child could drag her, the Crown Prince's wife, down.
Meier looked at Mengxuan who was kneeling on the ground and sighed slightly: "I will have this matter investigated thoroughly. As long as it was not you who did it, I will return your innocence." Speaking of which, she was also full of anger. Mengxuan had a very harmonious relationship with her when she got married. But the niece of her mother-in-law failed to live up to her expectations and actually hooked up with Brother Hu, and the two even exchanged gifts in private. It was related to her mother's family's face, so she had no choice but to carry her into the mansion no matter how unwilling she was.
She also knew that doing so would cause trouble for her daughter-in-law. Because she is her niece, her status is more valuable than others, and because of her illness, her daughter-in-law has no control over her. It would be fine if you just keep to yourself after entering the house, but after entering the house, you will make trouble every day. She ignored it, but she often couldn't ignore it. But I didn't expect that this time it would lead to an abortion.
If it was said that Mengxuan had given the medicine, Meier would not believe it. There are already three heirs from the concubine, and there is no room for such a one.
Mengxuan heard that the Duke¡¯s wife had summoned the prince, and later sent someone to severely reprimand Aunt Luo who was lying on the hospital bed. Aunt Hua was also restrained and was not allowed to leave the courtyard for three months.
The purple clothes are a little uneven. The old lady was too partial to Aunt Hua, and she dared to frame the prince's wife. Once she was married, she would be beaten to death at worst, or sent to Zhuangzi at worst. But he didn't expect that he would only be banned for three months. This is partiality.
Mengxuan smiled softly after hearing this. This result was already expected. Every time there was commotion before, the result was loud thunder but little rain. The mother-in-law said that she should leave Aunt Hua alone and let her handle it, but in the end she intervened. Otherwise, Aunt Hua would never be like this, even she was plotted against her.
Seeing the look on his wife's face, Ziyi felt a little uncomfortable: "Madam, I'm sorry for you." The girl was married into a high family, and her natal family couldn't rely on her. I couldn't even complain about the grievances I suffered in my husband's family.
Mengxuan smiled: "Everyone has a difficult scripture to recite. I am already very good." The other members of the Heng family are still in the slums! But now she is living a life of glory, wealth, and good food and clothing.
Mengxuan was thinking about the members of the Heng family, and she couldn't help but think of her aunt. Back then, because the Taira family used witchcraft to curse their aunt, the emperor was furious and the Taira family was confiscated and their titles were confiscated. Their room was not affected because of the princess's grandmother. In the end, the three sisters were favored by their aunt and all married into good families. Tong Geer also married a daughter from a famous family.
Futong once told her that their family owed their aunt so much that they would never be able to pay it back in their lifetime. She knew all this. After she married into the Duke's Palace, even if her mother's family was weak, no one in the Duke's Palace would look down upon her. Not only did she have a generous dowry, but also because she had an aunt to support him. She was also very lucky. She gave birth to her eldest son in the first year after marrying into the Duke's palace, and gave birth to her second son in the third year. Although the imperial doctor said that he was injured when he gave birth to his second son, he was afraid that it would be difficult to give birth to him after the rain. But she already has two sons and has established a firm foothold in the Duke's mansion.
The mother-in-law is charitable, the husband and wife are loving, and they have raised two sons. She feels that life is already very happy. But she never dreamed that her husband would be having an affair with her mother-in-law and niece. Moreover, the mother-in-law and husband carried this woman into the house without even asking her a question. He even had to enter as a side room. This incident broke her heart.
Zi Yi saw his wife mute and silent, and the corners of her eyes were sore. When the girl is at her parents' house, she says exactly what she said. Where is it like now, everything is constrained. His temperament has also changed a lot.
Mengxuan thought this matter was over, but she didn¡¯t expect it to happen again! The prince went to see the old lady and said that Aunt Hua had been wronged after having a miscarriage. Moreover, he had promised to give Aunt Hua the title of a side wife, and now he wanted to take advantage of the existing property here to make Aunt Hua her side wife.
Mengxuan didn¡¯t know what the old lady¡¯s attitude was, but since there was no word of rejection, she must still be there.Concerned. Ziyi said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, if Aunt Hua is moved to the side room, she will become even more unbearable."
Mengxuan sneered and said, "Aunt Hua originally rushed to the side room, but unfortunately my father-in-law did not agree. Now that she has done such a thing, she still wants to be promoted to a concubine. It is just a dream." The real master of the Duke's mansion is Father-in-law, not mother-in-law.
When it came to Aunt Hua, my mother-in-law was leaning toward her natal family. My father-in-law's attitude is very clear, I can take a concubine, but if I want to be a concubine, don't even think about it. Because of this, little Luo Shi could only enter as an aunt. If not, it would be even harder for her to hold back.
It seems that she really took advantage of her aunt. Not only are my aunt and my mother-in-law sisters, but I am also very good friends with my father-in-law. Because of these two relationships, she was able to successfully marry into the Duke's palace. Otherwise, based on their family's current situation, they would definitely break off the engagement.
Aunt Hua always thinks that her family is better than hers just because her natal family is weak. Always trying to step on her to get the upper hand. If it weren't for her mother-in-law, she would be her aunt, and the Duke's wife would protect her. How could she let her play around like this? She should have been eliminated a long time ago. Not to mention planning to frame her today.
The Duke of the State does not care about the affairs of the inner house. So she used a trick to let the Duke know about it. The Duke of Guo asked someone to call the Crown Prince. She didn't know what the Duke and the Crown Prince said, but Aunt Hua was sent to the family temple. It was not until three months later that her husband took her back.
After returning from the family temple, Aunt Hua was very content. But Aunt Hua's peace of mind made her more vigilant. This woman has become more and more calm after returning from the family temple.
She was dealing with things that day when a steward from outside came in and said, "Mrs. Crown Prince, the eldest lady has sent a gift from Haikou." After that, she handed over the list.
Mengxuan looked at the long list, smiled and asked the steward to lead him down. Speaking of this sister-in-law, she is also a lucky person. Within two months of getting married, she followed her husband to Haikou. There was no mother-in-law to take care of her, and her husband never cared about children, so she gave birth to a big, fat boy the next day. After that, one child was born every other year, and each time he was a fat boy. From the time I got married to now, I have been given generous gifts every New Year and holiday. When people in the Duke's Mansion talk about it, they all say that the eldest girl is very lucky.
Zi Yi, who was standing by, naturally said that the big girl was so lucky. They have given birth to three big fat boys, and the eldest uncle does not care about them, so they are living a comfortable life.
Mengxuan smiled slightly: "Yes, I am so lucky. Not only is the eldest girl very lucky, but also the eldest princess of Prince Chun's Mansion is also very lucky." The eldest girl did not say anything yet. After all, she followed her husband to Haikou, far away from the capital. The eldest princess of Prince Chun's Mansion is the truly blessed person. My parents-in-law did not live with them. Being the master of one's own family, the husband and wife are so affectionate and loving that others are envious of them.
Ziyi couldn't help but said: "The princess is also generous, so I am lucky to be her daughter-in-law." It is said that the princess is unwilling to live with her son and daughter-in-law, saying that she is afraid of conflicts and affecting her mood. Moreover, Wencheng was not allowed to take concubines. It is not a blessing for a daughter-in-law to have such a mother-in-law.
Mengxuan chuckled: "My aunt has always been kind-hearted and generous." It was like my aunt was very considerate of their family, but never needed their gratitude.
Zi Yi didn¡¯t say anything either.
The maid ran over in panic and shouted: "Madam, Madam, something is wrong. Young Master, something is wrong with the Young Master."
She almost fainted when she heard it. Mengxuan knew that Xiao Hua was restless. But he didn't know that Xiao Hua was so bold and took his son's idea into account. However, he persisted with perseverance and ran over to see his son, only to see that his body was covered in blood.
After asking, I found out that my son fell from the rockery and fell unconscious. Fortunately, God blessed me. Although my son broke his leg, the imperial doctor said that he would be fine after taking good care of him for three to five months. It will not leave the root of the disease, let alone become a disability.
She grabbed the evidence and proved that it was Xiao Hua who harmed Brother Cheng. But the prince didn't believe it. He actually said that he was framed. She said she just didn't like Aunt Hua. The prince found out that it was a complete accident.
The mother-in-law also stepped in to investigate, but found out that the person who harmed Chenger was another aunt. Not Little Fahrenheit. This aunt took advantage of her conflict with Xiao Hua to get rid of Brother Cheng.
She felt extremely angry after hearing this. That aunt didn't give birth to a son, not even a daughter. How could you harm Brother Cheng? It's just that her mother-in-law decided this matter, and she couldn't refute it.
She looked at her son who was covered with injuries. He was not only her son, but also her husband's child and her mother-in-law's direct grandson. Why did she have to protect this woman? Why do you still keep this poisonous scorpion at home? Keeping this woman in the mansion may put not only Brother Cheng, but also Brother Shao in danger. No, she must get rid of this woman. Unfortunately, before she could think of how to get rid of Xiao Hua, she fell ill.
Brother Fu arrived at the Duke's Mansion and came to visit.??Mengxuan. Mengxuan looked extremely unhappy. The complexion is gloomy. The last time he came to see her, although the second sister looked tired, she was not like this now. She was afraid that there was something dirty in the Duke's mansion again.
Brother Fu asked someone to find Mengxuan's dowry maid and inquire about the matter. Brother Fu's face turned dark. She was an aunt, the aunt of the Duke's wife. She was really decent.
Brother Fu's wife, Mr. He, comforted her softly: "Master, we can't interfere in this matter. If we interfere, it will be even more difficult for the second sister in the Duke's Mansion." After all, they are outsiders. If they rashly interfere in the Duke's Mansion, The internal affairs of the country will definitely make the Duke and his wife dissatisfied.
Brother Fu frowned. If he hadn't been worried about this, he would have given Luo Dahu a beating. Why are you still bothering here?
Of the three sisters, Brother Fu and Mengxuan have the best relationship. My mother is weak-tempered and cannot be relied upon at all. Although the eldest sister does not have the temperament of my mother, she has thought more about her own affairs since she was a child. The third sister has the temperament of her mother, very soft and gentle. Only the second sister always cared about him and taught him many things.
Of the three elder sisters in the family, only the second elder sister married high. Although the eldest sister and the third sister didn't talk about it, they still felt that there was some difference in their hearts. But according to him, the second sister was actually the worst married. Every man in the Duke's mansion is a pervert. From the Duke of the country to the young master below, whoever is dissatisfied in the backyard is a warbler. The Taira family has fallen into decline again, and marrying high will only lead to bullying. The second sister is such a strong person. Although she has established a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion, she is not as lively as she is at home. She always has a dignified and decent smile on her face. Not once did he feel sad.
He thought for a while and then said: "Husband, my aunt and the Duke's wife are close friends. If I let my aunt speak, it will definitely be more useful than us interfering." In any case, it is not easy for them to interfere. But if my aunt intervenes, then there will be no problem.
Brother Fu shook his head: "Not to mention that I can't see my aunt, even if I can, it's not easy to nag my aunt with these things."
Mr. He chuckled and said: "Husband, my aunt secured the second sister's matchmaking. When the second sister got married, my aunt also gave me a generous dowry. This shows that my aunt likes the second sister very much. Now I know that the second sister has suffered so much." Auntie will not stand idly by regardless of grievance or reason. "
Brother Fu thought about it and felt it made sense, and nodded immediately. It's best to find a middleman to talk things over and make peace with the matter. The first candidate that Brother Fu thought of was Mingjin. Over the years, Brother Fu has been insisting on learning martial arts at the princess's mansion two days a month. Although they didn't spend as much time with Mingrui brothers as Ling Chang and Qi Zhe, they became familiar with each other at least. Later, Mingjin Congwen, his relationship with Mingjin gradually improved. Now they are very good friends.
However, Mrs. He raised objections: "Husband, I want my opinion on this matter. It is best to ask Madam Wencheng to mention it to my aunt. It would be bad to be too deliberate." No one knew that Princess Wenwan was not Director, if you go over there to talk about this, you won't be afraid of letting the Duke's office know about it. I'm just afraid that my aunt will be disgusted if she hears this.
Brother Fu thought for a moment and nodded.
After Mr. He saw Brother Fu off, he leaned on the couch and rested for a while. The maid next to her brought ginseng tea: "I used to think that my second aunt would get a good mother-in-law. But I didn't expect that the Duke's wife would now make it so difficult for my second aunt."
Mr. He finished drinking the ginseng tea and put it down and said: "It used to be good, it was all for the sake of my aunt. Now she is her niece, and people are biased. I heard that this woman was raised in China since she was a child. The old lady has grown up with the Duke and the wife, and she has been very fond of her since she was a child. Therefore, the second aunt has no choice but to swallow this loss. "As for He, the Duke and the wife have always loved her. In comparison, it's pretty good. At least I didn't interfere directly with my daughter-in-law's backyard. Just a little biased. It's just that the gap between the second aunt and grandma is so big that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also estranged. This little Fahrenheit was cheap for nothing.
The maid said: "Young lady is doing her best for the second aunt's grandma." If the princess can really speak a word for the second aunt's grandma, then the second aunt's grandma's life in the Duke's Mansion will be easier.
He chuckled lightly: "My second aunt will be fine, and my husband will be fine too." Speaking of her husband, a smile appeared on Mr He's face.
Brother Fu is very good to his wife He, and they now have two sons and one daughter. Although Brother Fu also had two concubines, they were all promoted by the He family and served when it was inconvenient for the He family. Brother Fu is a very disciplined person, and there is no such thing as doting on concubines and destroying wives. Because of this, the two concubines acted honestly in front of Mr. He and did not dare to do anything. He's life was also extremely comfortable.
The Duke¡¯s Mansion received a wedding invitation from Prince Hao¡¯s Mansion, celebrating Prince Hao¡¯s sixtieth birthday. She was currently out on behalf of the Duke's government, so naturally she went.
What surprised her was that her auntAlso go to Prince Hao¡¯s Mansion. My aunt has been staying at home all these years. Although the Marquis Wencheng's wife went out to socialize, even if she came and went, they were all in the Marquis Wencheng's mansion. The door of the princess's mansion is too tight and ordinary people can't get in.
Mengxuandao remembers going to the Princess¡¯s Mansion several times a month when she was young. But later on, my father became estranged from his aunt and rarely went to the Princess's Mansion. He has never been to the princess's mansion since the incident with the Taira family. What the three sisters didn't expect was that the princess' mansion sent someone to add makeup to the eldest sister before she left the cabinet. She is no exception, and so is her sister. Even Fu Geer received generous gifts when he got married. However, because she married into a high family, the dowry given to her was particularly generous. It was because of her aunt's actions that she quickly gained a foothold in the mansion. It's just that she hasn't seen her aunt in so many years.
I didn¡¯t expect that my aunt would come to Prince Hao¡¯s birthday banquet this time. She didn't see her aunt, but she saw Mrs. Wencheng, the princess of Prince Chun's palace. It is rare to find such a beauty in the world, let alone the capital, as the princess of Prince Chun's Mansion. Everyone said that Marquis Wencheng was very lucky, but they didn't know that the princess was also very lucky.
Wenwan has always been impatient with socializing, and as she gets older, she dislikes socializing even more. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, she takes care of everything. Wen Wan is a real hands-off shopkeeper. It's just that this time it's Prince Hao's sixtieth birthday. No matter how closed the door is, Wen Wan has to go over to celebrate his birthday. When I went back, I heard my daughter-in-law Minjia talking about Mengxuan and her difficulties.
Since the incident involving Mengxuan and the others happened to the Ping family, Wen Wan did not recruit them. But Wenwan's care for the four siblings is obvious to all. Everyone also knew that Wen Wan didn't like noisy, so they didn't think it was just a stranger.
Wenwan didn¡¯t expect Minjia to have such a difficult time in the Duke¡¯s Mansion. Being cornered by a concubine. This is really unbelievable. Wen Wan is a bit doubtful about the authenticity of this. As far as Wen Wan knows, Mei'er shouldn't be such a confused person.
¡°In addition to caring about business, Wen Wan now devotes her other time and energy to her husband, son, and grandson. Don't worry about anything else. Therefore, Wen Wan has not asked the people below about this matter, so it is difficult for him to give his opinion.
Minjia felt a little disappointed when her mother-in-law didn't answer her words. Her husband asked her to mention this matter. She also knew that it must be Ping Tongfu who asked her husband. Her husband has a good relationship with his cousin Ping Tongfu, and she will definitely do whatever her husband asks her to do. In addition, Minjia also thinks that the Duke's wife is a bit too much. My mother-in-law is so kind to my sister-in-law, but she treats her cousin like this, which is really too much. Minjia couldn't stand it either, so she pretended not to care this time and mentioned it to her mother-in-law. I just didn't expect that my mother-in-law didn't respond.
Wenwan returned to the mansion and asked Qiuhan what was going on. After half a day, I found out what happened before and after. What Minjia said was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were a lot of things going on. After hearing this, Wen Wan frowned. Mei'er was talking nonsense. She didn't mean to cause chaos in her son's backyard.
What Mengxuan didn¡¯t know was that not long after the banquet, her mother-in-law actually asked her to go with her to the princess¡¯ mansion. She was surprised that she was allowed to go to the Princess's Mansion.
When she arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion was just as she remembered, unchanged at all. When we arrived at the main courtyard, the pomegranate tree was still in full bloom.
She was led in by the maid. When she reached the door, she suddenly felt a little afraid to go in. The so-called timidity of being close to home should be like this!
She looked at her aunt sitting on top. His aunt was still as beautiful as he imagined. Time seems not to linger on my aunt. Seeing her aunt's smiling face, the tension in her heart went away. Auntie was still as kind as she remembered. She walked up and called softly: "Auntie."
Wen Wan saw Mengxuan, who looked bad even though she was wearing heavy makeup, and then thought about what happened to Mengxuan in the Duke's Mansion. At that moment, his brows were furrowed: "Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? If you don't feel well, just come here some other time." It's one thing to hear it, but it's another thing to see him like this. Seeing the child like this, Wen Wan felt a little distressed.
Mengxuan said hurriedly: "No, I just didn't sleep well last night. It's Mengxuan's fault that makes aunt worry." She didn't expect that her aunt would say such a thing. My heart is sour and astringent.
Wen Wan waved her hand: "Sit down! Don't think that because you are young, you can't take good care of yourself. If you don't take good care of yourself now, you will suffer the consequences when you get old. Your mother-in-law and I have both been here. If you don't believe it, ask Ask your mother-in-law if this is true"
Meier smiled and said, "That's right."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don¡¯t slap someone in the face,??????? Don¡¯t expose someone¡¯s shortcomings. Even if Wen Wan had something to say to Mei'er, she couldn't say it in front of Meng Xuan. Qiu Wu was called: "Give Mengxuan a good look and help her take good care of herself. You can't lose your health when you are young."
Qiu Wu understood and took Mengxuan down.
Mengxuan didn¡¯t know what her aunt said to her mother-in-law. when going backThe mother-in-law looked solemn. She didn't dare to say anything more.
Back in the main courtyard, Ziyi said softly: "The princess should have said something to the old lady!" Looking at the old lady's appearance, it was 100% that the princess spoke to the old lady. That's fine. I believe the old lady will consider what the princess said.
Mengxuan shook her head: "No, my aunt will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Duke's mansion." At most, she could only say a few words tactfully.
Meier returned to the yard, feeling a little irritable. Ping'er came over and said, "Madam, did the princess say something? Does the princess still want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Duke's mansion?" It seemed that it was a matter for the prince's wife. It's not that Ping'er is boasting, his wife is very good to her daughter-in-law. Never make things difficult. It's just the matter of Aunt Hua, but the old lady doesn't want to do it, but there are some things that she has to do.
Meier smiled bitterly: "With Wen Wan's temperament, do you think she will interfere in the affairs of the Duke's palace?" Wen Wan just told her some interesting things about Yixuan and Minjia. Then he talked about the children and said something about family and everything being happy. Regarding Mengxuan, Wen Wan didn't even mention it.
She knows the hidden meaning of gentleness. She treats her daughter-in-law as if she were her own daughter, and hopes she can treat Mengxuan well. On the gentle side, it seems that she doesn't pay much attention to Mengxuan, but after all, she is her niece, the child she has watched grow up, and she does not want her to be wronged.
Meier sighed heavily. She didn't expect to get to this point. This niece has been raised by her mother since she was a child, and she is very fond of her mother. Although she did something wrong, every time she went to visit her mother, her mother asked her to take care of her and take care of her. Now outsiders think she is abusing her daughter-in-law and is an evil mother-in-law.
Ping'er thought for a moment and then said: "Madam, there is actually something I didn't say that day because I was afraid that you, madam, would be in danger."
Meier was a little confused. After listening to Ping'er's words, Mei'er was stunned. Then I started looking into the matter again. The result left her disappointed. She originally thought that Mengxuan was using this to frame her and wanted to get rid of her niece. But I didn't expect that it was actually her hand. If she stayed on her own terms after entering the house, she believed Mengxuan could tolerate it. Now she even dares to attack her direct grandson. There is nothing else she can't do. It seemed like it was all her fault, allowing her to become more and more obsessed.
Mengxuan was a little surprised when she heard that Aunt Hua was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside for rest. But I soon realized that I was afraid that my aunt had really said something to my mother-in-law. Otherwise, how could the mother-in-law send her niece to Zhuangzi? Although I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to bring him back in another three to five months, at least I¡¯ll have some peace and quiet for the time being.
Aunt Hua was sent away, and a new aunt came to fill her place. It's just that the new aunt is not the old lady's niece, nor is she a cousin to the prince. She's in control.
She never thought about being the sole favorite. The men in the Duke's Mansion each had three wives and four concubines. As long as they ensured their own status and the position of Cheng Geer's eldest son, that would be enough. She didn't think much about anything else.
Listening to Ziyi saying that Wencheng Hou brought a woman back, she just shook her head slightly. Men are all sneaky cats. It is very difficult for a man to keep a woman.
Ziyi sighed slightly: "I thought Wencheng Hou could be as good as the old Marquis! I didn't expect it to be like this." The old Marquis is the best man in the Qi Dynasty, and no woman in the world wants to marry someone like the old Marquis. type of man.
Mengxuan smiled after hearing this: "No man will reject a beauty, it just depends on whether the price paid is enough." Everyone said that Marquis Shenwu was infatuated and dedicated. She also believed that Marquis Shenwu loved her aunt very much, but if she was allowed to stay in the border town for eight years just because of this love, it would obviously not be enough. In fact, she was more willing to believe that Marquis Shenwu knew that if he dared to do anything to disgrace his aunt, with her aunt's strength, she might be determined to divorce, and her son would no longer be hers. But he persevered, and not only did he become successful, but his family was harmonious and his father and son were close. If Marquis Shenwu had not persisted, the Bai family would not have become the most prominent family in Daqi.
Of course, even if these reasons exist, a man who has been outside for eight years will not be able to persevere without enough perseverance. Therefore, Marquis Shenwu is still worthy of admiration.
Mengxuan listens to the gossip coming from the outside every day. The women brought back by Marquis Wencheng were placed in Wencheng Marquis' Mansion. For more than two months after that, everyone was talking about what would happen to this woman. As a result, she was aborted not long after her pregnancy, and even the princess was not well-pregnant. In the end, even the princess and the old marquis got into trouble.
Mengxuan laughed after hearing this: "These people are really stupid. Only an aunt can make aunt and uncle quarrel. They think highly of this woman too much." If the aunt had the intention, she could kill this woman with just one sentence. The quarrel between aunt and uncle must not be over such a trivial matter. There must be other things going on.
Ziyi also felt that what his wife said was right.
Not long after, this woman was sent away, by Marquis Wencheng himself. Afterwards, the princess and the old marquis reconciled as before, and everything returned to nature. The gossip topics in the capital would have ended here.
Not long after the results, news came from the Princess¡¯s Mansion. The princess said that from now on, men from the two mansions of Shenwu Marquis and Wencheng Marquis are not allowed to have concubines before they are twenty-nine years old. The princess has written this into the family rules. Anyone who violates the rules will be removed from the family.
This news immediately caused a stir in Beijing. Those families in the capital who love their daughters have their eyes set on the grandchildren of several gentle princesses. It's a pity that the princess said that the child must be fifteen years old before proposing marriage.
Zi Yi sighed: "Princess, it's true girls who marry into the Marquis of Shenwu and Marquis of Wencheng will be blessed." Although it doesn't mean that they will never take concubines. But you can only take a concubine after you are twenty-nine years old. When the concubine comes in, your son will grow up and you will become a grandmother. Are you afraid of something from your concubine?
Mengxuan thinks this family rule is very good. This news aroused the thoughts of both the younger siblings. Her aunt said that three generations should not get married, and her second sister-in-law was thinking of not getting married to the Marquis of Shenwu, but she could get married to the Marquis of Wencheng. She was determined not to take up this issue. She just refused because her aunt said that the child cannot be married until he is fifteen years old.
He didn't have to worry about his aunt's family affairs, and she didn't have the time to worry about it. What she is worried about now is her younger brother Fu Geer. She knew what Brother Fu wanted. Fu Geer wants to follow His Highness Ling Chang. If His Highness Ling Chang succeeds, he can get the title of his ancestors back after he obtains the power of Cong Long.
The title of Duke Ping is hereditary. Although it has been temporarily taken away, you can still get it back when the time is right. If Brother Fu really obtains the merit of following the dragon, he will most likely get his title back. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s so easy to achieve the power of following a dragon. This road is too difficult. Life may even be in danger at any time. But her brother had already made his decision and she couldn't stop him.
The road to seizing the throne is very difficult, not to mention Fu Geer experienced danger several times. Even His Highness Ling Chang almost died several times. What frightened her the most was that His Highness Chang Sun actually attacked His Highness Ling Chang. His Highness Ling Chang almost died in his hands.
Ziyi asked confusedly: "Madam, the princess is your highness Lingcheng's teacher. Why doesn't the princess help your highness Lingcheng?" If the princess could come forward to support his highness Lingcheng, there would definitely not be such a fight in the court. fierce.
Mengxuan shook her head: "His Royal Highness Ling Chang is just my aunt's nephew, not my aunt's son." If he is the aunt's son, he will naturally support His Highness Ling Chang's rise to power. But just as a nephew, it is impossible for him to do his best to support the superior. With her aunt's achievements, no matter who takes the position, they will have to respect her in the end. Instead of getting involved in the struggle for heirs and suffering endless troubles.
Ziyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
No matter how difficult life is, you have to live it well. She was very happy to hear that her eldest sister was following her brother-in-law to Beijing. My brother-in-law stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and has been working abroad for these years. This is my first time back.
The sisters have been separated for so many years, and they should have countless things to say. But as soon as the eldest sister did it, she said with a depressed face: "Mengxuan, I submitted a post asking to see my aunt, but I can't see her." Her husband came to Beijing to find a better job. But the Tong family couldn't do anything. She originally wanted to take her aunt's route, but she was blocked.
Mengxuan was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "My aunt lives in seclusion. No one can see her except Wen Chenghou and the others."
The eldest sister said many things to her, hoping to ask her to help her move around. They have not been in the capital for a long time and are not familiar with the capital. She is the eldest wife of the Duke's Mansion and has a wide network of connections. Hope she can help.
Mengxuan smiled bitterly after hearing this. She was not very knowledgeable about official matters, but she knew something was wrong when she saw that her eldest brother-in-law had held an official position for so many years but was not as high as his younger brother. She specifically asked Brother Fu about this matter.
Brother Fu also told him that his eldest brother-in-law is good at studying, but he is not popular. After many years of service as an official, his political performance was not outstanding, and he barely achieved a good score in the assessment. He has an unmellow temperament and has the arrogance of a scholar. Reaching the position in recent years has depended entirely on seniority.
Mengxuan heard her eldest sister saying that she wanted to stay in the capital, but she didn't reply directly. Official positions in the capital were all in vain. It wasn't that she couldn't get them, but she had to ask Brother Fu about this. Mengxuan called her younger brother Fu Geer and told him about this matter.
Brother Fu shook his head: "Second sister, don't worry about this matter. The eldest brother-in-law's temperament is not suitable for staying in the capital. Otherwise, he will definitely be involved in the whirlpool." The competition for the heirloom is fierce now, but still It's safer to be outside.
The eldest sister didn¡¯t know Brother Fu¡¯s hard work, she just thought that she and Brother Fu didn¡¯t do their best for them. When I finally left, I couldn't even see her.
She could only smile bitterly.
??When Brother Fu found out, he smiled coldly: "Second sister, don't feel sorry for her, it's not worth it. She has always thought about herself since she was a child, and only wants us to help. But in recent years, she has been worried about her. What have we done? As the eldest sister, there is no trace of the consciousness of the eldest sister. "In Brother Fu's impression, Menglan has never done anything for her family. After getting married, you focus on your husband's family. This is understandable. But after three years of marriage, the days of returning home are numbered. She was also very sad because of the second sister's generous dowry. I didn't think that my second sister would have a hard time marrying into a high family and would need a dowry to support her appearance, but she told her mother that the dowry was uneven. At that time, he became cold-hearted towards this eldest sister.
Mengxuan sighed in her heart after hearing this. The dowry is indeed uneven. Her dowry is twice as much as that of her eldest sister. But this disparity was not caused by my mother, but by my aunt. Because of this reason, the eldest sister has always felt uncomfortable. But this matter can't be blamed on her aunt, her aunt was also trying to save face for her. After all, the dowry of the crown prince's wife in the Duke's mansion is not a lot. She also relied on her generous dowry and her aunt's reputation to live a smooth life in the Duke's Mansion. If not, I don¡¯t know what life will be like.
When Brother Fu heard Mengxuan say that the dowry was uneven, he snorted: "She doesn't know why the dowry is uneven. But she still has been worried about this matter for so many years. The third sister is the same as her. She didn't even say a word about the dowry. She felt wronged. "She still dared to complain about her aunt's injustice. If it hadn't been for her aunt, she wouldn't have known what would happen.
Mengxuan also knows that if this thorn pierces her, she may not be able to get rid of it for the rest of her life. But fortunately, the little sister didn't have any dissatisfaction with this. Still very close to her.
Mengnan¡¯s marriage was brought about by Mengxuan. At that time, their family was actually in a very embarrassing situation, so Mengnan's marriage was a bit difficult. Later, Mengxuan chose this family. The man's family background was not high, but his family tradition was very good. Moreover, this man has a generous nature and is motivated. After Mengnan married, her brother-in-law only had the reputation of being a scholar. Later, he passed the imperial examination, but failed to pass the imperial examination. This brother-in-law has no intention of becoming an official, so he just acts as an old man at home. Speaking of which, the three sisters actually lived the most comfortable life in Mengnan.
