Wang returned to General Dingyuan's Mansion uneasy, her heart was in turmoil and she could not calm down. Although she is soft-tempered, she is not a fool, and of course she understands what Nangong Yue is implying.
But...
Even if she has this intention, her siblings will definitely not agree, and even the master will probably not stand by her...
Wang's hand rubbed the handkerchief subconsciously, but if she did nothing, Sister Jia's life would be completely ruined. Sister Jia'er is her only flesh and blood.
With her complicated thoughts, the carriage drove into General Dingyuan's Mansion and stopped in front of the second gate.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still in a daze, the maid reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, the mansion has arrived."
Wang finally came to her senses, but she heard a commotion outside and didn't know what was going on.
Wang couldn't help but frown slightly, and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.
"Madam."
A steward from Wang's courtyard came quickly to greet him.
"Nanny Zhang, what's going on?" Wang frowned even more tightly. She saw many slaves surrounding the second gate, and even a few servants from the outer courtyard stood outside the second gate and went in. Poking his head and thinking... How unbecoming is this!
As soon as they saw Wang's return, the boys dispersed in a hurry, but there were still layers of maids and women gathered behind the second door, and waves of strange muffled sounds came from nowhere.
Nanny Zhang glanced at the second door and whispered: "Madam, the two maids serving the second lady in the yard accidentally broke a vase, which they said was the dowry of the second lady. He got very angry and called the mother-in-law to punish the two maids with thirty sticks each."
Wang's eyes were sharp. It was just a matter of breaking a vase. Why did he mobilize a large number of troops and make the whole house tremble? Could there be something else?
Nanny Zhang looked around and lowered her voice: "Madam, the sixth-grade military position that the eldest young master only held for a few days is gone again. Now the servants in the house are speculating about the second madam. This is..." To express anger.
Wang couldn't help but clenched her fist.
She still remembered that when the eldest young master got that job a few days ago, the second brother and sister received a grand prize from the whole family and invited a group of relatives and friends to celebrate. It’s only been a few days, why has it been lost? Could it be...
Wang suddenly remembered that the Crown Princess left the house unhappily that day. Could it be that the Crown Princess had someone **** the eldest young master?
A hint of happiness surged in Wang's heart.
Of course she knows how the eldest young master got this job, and of course she will not be willing to accept it. This is the best way!
She lowered her eyes and said nothing, and took Granny Zhang and the maid into the second door.
As I got closer, the sound of the stick hitting the flesh became clearer. The woman holding the stick for execution was counting while beating: "...twenty-three, twenty-four... ”
One sound after another, one after another, like a blow to Wang’s heart...
It made her heart more and more irritable.
Wang can’t wait to leave here.
It turns out that God doesn’t follow people’s wishes——
A nanny wearing a lilac-colored gourd and reed gown walked quickly towards Wang, blessed her casually, and then said: "Madam, the Second Madam ordered me to ask you to go to the main hall to speak. "There was a hint of arrogance in Mammy's eyes, and she clearly didn't take the Wang family seriously.
Wang subconsciously raised her eyes and looked towards the main hall facing the second door more than ten feet away. At some point, the onlookers all retreated to both sides, whispering to each other and looking towards her, while the main hall On the bluestone floor at the door, two maids were lying there motionless, their pants were pulled down and their buttocks were bruised and swollen.
After the two women counted to thirty, they put away their sticks and then dragged down the two maids who were being punished.
Wang stared blankly at the main hall. Although she couldn't see Lu's expression at the current distance, Lu's eyes that were so dismissive and almost contemptuous seemed to appear in front of her eyes.
Seeing that Wang didn't move, the nanny repeated the words with a smile.
Wang responded and followed the nanny to the main hall.
Wearing a sapphire blue 10-variable brocade robe, Mrs. Lu was sitting upright on the imperial chair at the top, holding a teacup with a white background and blue rim in her hand, and took a sip of the tea in the cup. Hot tea, until Mrs. Wang came closer, Mrs. Lu slowly put down the tea cup, bowed and said: "Sister-in-law."
Wang didn’t want to talk to her anymore, and didn’t sit down. She said directly: “Why did my second brother and sister come to see me?”
I am such a good sister-in-law, and now she still wants to act stupid in front of me? ! Mrs. Lu's face turned cold, and she was so angry that she held her breath in her chest. She didn't bother to pretend anymore, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me if you were going to Zhennan Prince's Mansion?" She sneered in her heart: Could it be that Ms. Wang thought that she didn't want to go to Zhennan Palace? Know where she went!
Wang lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing that Wang was silent, Mrs. Lu felt the fire in her heart rising up. She said rudely and sarcastically: "Sister-in-law, it's useless even if you please the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess can't control our Zhou family's housework. Something!" As she said that, she couldn't help but think of Nangong Yue's contempt and insult to her that day, and she was extremely embarrassed. She had been in the Dingyuan General's Mansion for nearly twenty years, and no one had dared to humiliate her like this. Lu's tone became colder and colder, and ice shards almost fell out of her voice.
Not only that, the imperial concubine even took the opportunity to avenge herself and take advantage of Brother Qing's job!
It’s just Si Chen!
Wang's fists couldn't help but clenched, and her whole body was as tense as a tightened bowstring.
Ms. Lu naturally noticed Mrs. Wang's change and said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law, I have already told the master that for the sake of the reputation of the girls in the house, I have no choice but to send Sister Jia to the temple."
She will not let Zhou Roujia marry into the Zhennan Palace as she wishes and overwhelm her daughter in the future!
Since Zhou Roujia is ignorant and unwilling to be a concubine, then go to the temple and stay well!
"Second younger brother and sister!" At this moment, Wang could no longer hold back and stared at Lu in disbelief, with no blood on her face, "What did you say!?"
Mrs. Lu felt very happy. She sighed quietly and said with pretense of pity: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing we can do about it. There are three girls in the house. Sister Hui and Sister Jin can't be let go. My son also lost his reputation because of Sister Jia. I know sister-in-law, you may not be able to understand it at the moment, but sister-in-law, if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will understand the truth."
After saying that, she stood up and said to herself, regardless of Wang's reaction, "Sister-in-law, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Mrs. Lu left in a grand manner with a group of maids and women. Even the slaves who were watching outside the main hall dispersed because they saw Mrs. Lu coming out.
In the main hall, there were only three people left in the main hall: Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhang and Wang's personal maid. When Aunt Zhang and the maid saw that Mrs. Wang looked wrong, they were all silent and didn't know how to persuade her.
The eldest lady is an only daughter, and she is her only support. If the eldest girl is really sent to the temple, the blow to the eldest lady can be imagined!
Wang was stunned, her mind went blank, her eyes stared blankly at the empty door, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's delay in responding at all, Grandma Zhang became a little nervous and called out, sweating profusely: "Madam, are you okay?... There may not be any room for redemption in this matter. Madam, how about you?" Also look for the master..."
"No need!" Wang interrupted Grandma Zhang firmly.
Her attitude and tone were so decisive that Granny Zhang couldn't help but be startled when she heard it. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Wang, only to see that Ms. Wang's face was expressionless, and her usually gentle eyes were shining brightly at this moment. His eyes were resolute, with a hint of sharpness, as if the shackles on his body were suddenly broken, and as if a sharp sword had finally been unsheathed.
The eldest lady seemed to have changed into a different person in an instant... Granny Zhang was a little dumbfounded. She wondered if the eldest lady had suffered from a demonic disorder because of the heavy blow...
Ms. Wang strode out of the main hall. Granny Zhang and the maid looked at each other and hurriedly followed. They thought that Mrs. Wang was going back to her yard, but they didn't expect Mrs. Wang to say: "Mother Zhang, let someone prepare the car!"
Is the eldest lady going out? ! Grandma Zhang and the maid were even more surprised, and Grandma Zhang hurriedly accepted the order.
After a while, the green-covered carriage that Wang was riding in drove slowly to the second gate. While being helped by the maid to get into the carriage, Wang ordered the coachman: "Go to Jiuyi Lane."
Jiuyi Lane? ! Nanny Zhang could hardly believe her ears and blinked slowly.
There is also a Zhou Mansion in Jiuyi Lane, which is the house of the head of the Zhou clan. The eldest lady wants to see the clan leader? ! But why?
In Nanny Zhang’s confused eyes, the green-covered carriage slowly left the Dingyuan General’s Mansion from the Jiao Gate.
Nanny Zhang had a vague feeling that this time, the eldest lady’s decision seemed to set off a storm in the entire General’s Mansion...
But in any case, for Changfang, this should be a good thing!
The green-covered carriage clattered out of General Dingyuan's Mansion and headed forward along Xiangxi Street. After about two intersections, turn right again and you will find an alley that can accommodate two carriages traveling parallel to each other.
This is Jiuyi Lane.
At the end of Jiuyi Lane is the ancestral home of the Zhou family. The Zhou family’s ancestral hall is in the northeast corner of the ancestral home. For so many years since Wang’s marriage to Dingyuan General’s Mansion, she has only come to the ancestral home a handful of times. Basically, they would come here only if there were some important events in the clan that required the opening of an ancestral hall.
Therefore, when the old patriarch and his wife learned that Wang had a sudden visit, they were both surprised, but they could not turn Wang away, so they quickly ordered a stewardess to welcome Wang into the main hall.
Wang straightened her back and walked into the hall. She bowed to the old patriarch and his wife first. Then, regardless of the two old men's surprised eyes, she knelt down on the cold bluestone floor and said straight to the point: "Patriarch, Mrs. Patriarch." My nephew and daughter-in-law came to visit unexpectedly this time because I really wanted to ask for something. After many years of coming here, my nephew and daughter-in-law did not give birth to a son for the eldest son. As a result, the eldest son's family was no longer popular. In the future, he was under the Nine Springs and was really speechless to face his parents-in-law. Please also ask the clan chief to make the decision and give the eldest son an adopted heir from the clan in exchange for all the incense."
She kowtowed resolutely on the bluestone floor, "Boom——" When she looked up again, her forehead was already red and swollen, and her determined eyes looked directly at the old patriarch.
She knew that if she did this without telling the master, he would be furious when he found out, but she couldn't care less.
For her baby daughter, she would not care about anything!
Her sister Jia must not end her life because of someone else’s fault!
……
Nangong Yue heard about this the next day. At that time, she was putting the soles on Xiao Yi's new shoes. They were a pair of riding boots. She had carefully kneaded the soles more than a hundred times, so although the soles were thick, they were quite soft. , Nangong Yue’s stitches are very fine, and she pays great attention to every stitch and thread.
The sunlight fell on her face through the diamond-shaped window, making her skin white and smooth, so delicate that even the pores could not be seen.
Nangong Yue put down her needlework and asked with interest: "What happened next?"
Nangong Yue was not the only one who was curious. Thrush and Ying'er in the room also looked at Magpie eagerly.
"The request of Mrs. Zhou's adopted heir is reasonable and reasonable. Should the head of the Zhou family agree?" Huamei couldn't help but ask.
"That's natural." Que'er raised his chin and replied with a smile, "In addition to the adopted heirs, Mrs. Zhou also asked the patriarch to come forward and ask the second brother-in-law to return the property of the eldest son to the eldest son. It is easy to leave it to the heir to take care of."
Mrs. Zhou’s second request is equally reasonable and reasonable. You can’t let your heir be adopted into a poor and empty shell, right?
Huamei frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that over the years, the property of the chief minister of Dingyuan General Mansion has always been in the hands of the second roommate?" Huamei's tone did not know that he should have shocked General Dingyuan Mansion. The second wife was too much of a bully, and I felt that Mrs. Zhou was really too easy to bully.
"Then Mrs. Tuesday must be very angry this time?" Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled.
Quie'er nodded: "The head of the Zhou family personally accompanied Mrs. Zhou back to General Dingyuan's Mansion, and talked about the heirs and property in front of General Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. General Zhou told Zhou on the spot The eldest lady was furious and scolded her for not knowing the rules. She also said that even if she wanted to adopt an heir, she should discuss it with him first. Madam Zhou only replied with one sentence in the end, "Quie'er paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Mrs. Zhou has said that she does not want to adopt an adult heir, lest she grow old and have no one to rely on."
This request is not too much. Ever since the news about Mr. Fang being poisoned by his heir spread, families who want to adopt an heir will be more cautious to avoid raising them poorly in the future.
Obviously Wang did not want to adopt her second wife's son, so she deliberately made this request.
This saying is true: rabbits bite when they are in a hurry.
Under the connivance of General Zhou, the second wife of General Dingyuan’s Mansion has been pushing the eldest son as if they were nothing in recent years. Madam Lu on Tuesday may have planned to adopt her second son to her eldest son. The two families are their own homes, which not only protects their reputation, but also allows them to swallow up the eldest family's property.
Ms. Lu’s idea is too beautiful!
Quie'er raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth and continued to report: "Prince Concubine, the head of the Zhou family has been sent back to Jiuyi Lane by General Zhou. General Zhou said that he was in his prime and the matter of adopting an heir has not yet been resolved. Anxious..."
Among the Zhou clan today, the most prosperous one is the Dingyuan General's Mansion. If General Zhou insists on siding with the second room, it is hard to say whether the clan leader will offend General Zhou for the sake of the Wang family.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed and she said slowly: "Since Mrs. Zhou has taken the first step, I will help her."
With an heir, the eldest son no longer has to rely solely on his second wife, and one day he can live in separate houses like ordinary families.
She didn’t expect that with Wang’s gentle temperament, she would make up her mind so quickly. This was probably——
To be a mother is to be strong.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the Lu family in General Dingyuan's mansion, a square-faced man in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe, was angrily walking back and forth in the room, saying angrily: "How can it be unreasonable! How can it be unreasonable! This man! The general’s face has been completely humiliated by this mother and daughter!”
First, Zhou Roujia did such a scandalous thing at King Zhennan’s birthday banquet, and he was criticized by others. But now it’s better, even Wang, who has always been gentle, doesn’t know what medicine he took wrong, and actually went beyond himself. I went to the patriarch and said those words!
Mr. Lu was also very angry this time. She didn't expect that Ms. Wang would have such courage. When she thought about Changfang's property almost flying away from her palm, she was so angry that she wanted to rush to the Wang family and slap both mother and daughter hard.
But now seeing General Zhou acting like this, Mrs. Lu calmed down a little, and pretended to be magnanimous and persuaded: "Master, please calm down. I know your sister-in-law's character. I must have been distracted for a moment about Sister Jia's son. . It will be fine when the sister-in-law calms down and thinks about it. Master, is it okay to let the sister-in-law kneel in the Buddhist hall..."
"Let her kneel down!" General Zhou interrupted Lu angrily, "Since she refuses to repent, let the mother and daughter kneel down for three days to reflect on themselves!"
The corner of Lu's mouth curved into a mocking arc from an angle that General Zhou couldn't see, and she felt proud in her heart: Wang is really asking for death! This time, there is no need to say anything else, the fate of Zhou Roujia Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has already been decided.
At this moment, a little maid in Tsing Yi ran out panting, holding a big red post in her hand, and said breathlessly: "Second...Second Madam, yes ..."
Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, and the maid beside her scolded softly: "What's the matter?!"
The sweaty little maid in green took two deep breaths and finally recovered a little. While bending her knees, she respectfully presented the big red post in her hands: "General, Second Madam, this is the post of the Crown Princess, please. The eldest lady will come over tomorrow..."
Nangong Yue's message to Wang should have been sent directly to Wang, not to Lu.
But everyone in the family knew that General Zhou had just punished Wang and Zhou Roujia to kneel in the Buddhist hall for three days, and also banned Wang and her daughter from touching their feet. Now the post of the Crown Princess arrived at this time, and the concierge was really unhappy. I dared to make up my mind, so I had to submit the post to General Zhou and Lu first.
Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly. Of course she still remembered that Mr. Wang had been to Zhennan Palace today. Could it be that the Crown Princess’s post at this time had something to do with it?
General Zhou frowned. Although he did not want to refute the Crown Princess's face, if his orders were changed overnight, where would his dignity be? !
General Zhou waved his hand and said: "Just say that the eldest lady is not feeling well, just come back."
But the little maid in green clothes still stood there holding the big red post, looking frightened and embarrassed.
Mr. Lu became more and more unhappy and was about to speak when she saw the little maid opening the big red post. She swallowed and boldly said, "General, Second Madam, please read this post..."
Mr. Lu took a casual glance and saw a big red seal stamped on the lower right side of the post.
Originally, there is nothing unusual about seals. If the wives and girls of some mansions like to be literate, they often get a few private seals for fun, engrave their own numbers on the seals, and then print them on their own calligraphy, paintings or posts, which is arty and elegant. , but this post is different.
What is engraved on it is not "Jushi Qinglian" or "Jushi Yi'an", but——
Princess Yaoguang!
As we all know, in addition to the first-grade imperial concubine of Zhennan Prince, the imperial concubine is also a first-grade princess conferred by the emperor, with the title "Yaoguang". The princess of Dayu is not rare, but what is rare is the princess's gold seal, which represents the princess's food town. Since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty, only the feudal princes and princes who own fiefdoms can enjoy the gold seal, even the prince. No. The crown prince received this golden seal as a princess, which was the only one she received. It was a treatment that even a princess had never received, which showed the emperor's favor and trust in her.
For ordinary posts, if you reject them, you will reject them.
But this post with the princess's gold seal cannot be easily rejected. Otherwise, their little Dingyuan General's Mansion cannot afford to be charged with disrespect!
But what does it mean that the Crown Princess specially stamped the princess’s gold seal on the post? !
Could it be that...
For a moment, Lu's pupils shrank and she subconsciously looked towards General Zhou.
General Zhou thought more, his face darkened, and he asked unhappily: "Have you offended the Crown Princess?"
Lu Shi was startled and her mind went blank.
