Chapter 42: Promoted to a Pair Wife
After Duan Yunfang left Duan Yunyun's courtyard, he went to her aunt's courtyard. From the reflection on the window, the aunt was probably embroidering something. Duan Yunfang sighed lightly. The embroidery worker was the best. The eldest lady always used this excuse to make her embroider many embroidery items, saying that she wanted to spare the first lady for her marriage. From handkerchiefs to screens. Thinking of her mother, she had to compromise for her, listen to the eldest lady's words and embroidered them day and night. At such a young age, her eyes were a little bad. Duan Yunfang thought of this, her fists clenched but put them down after a while, and turned around and left after a while.
On the second day, with the appearance of an imperial edict, the water surface of Duan's mansion, which seemed to be calm, had ripples. The eldest lady knelt on her face and had a hideous face. The fist under her sleeves was tightly clenched, and her eyes were fierce and looked at the back of the third aunt who was kneeling in front of her as if she was very surprised. Looking at her trembling figure, the eldest lady's eyes were like a poisonous snake.
"I'm a little bitch to thank the emperor for his kindness, long live long live long..." The third aunt did not expect that this imperial edict was for her. And the emperor personally issued an order to carry her identity as a fair wife. Although it was not as glory as the legitimate wife, this was a luxury that she would never dare to think of in her life. Thinking of this, the third aunt, no, should be called the second wife, and she was trembling slightly excitedly.
"Congratulations to the second lady, if nothing is wrong, our family will return to the palace..." The father-in-law who read the imperial edict had a flattering smile on his face and smiled complimentingly at the second lady. The second lady smiled and nodded repeatedly, but said nothing. The father-in-law who was originally smiling couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Duan Yunfang, who was still standing aside, hurriedly pulled down a red golden step on his head and stuffed it into his father-in-law's hand. "I'm sorry, please ask my father-in-law to go back for a cup of tea..."
The father-in-law looked at the red gold hairpin in his hand, put the weight on it, and finally smiled in a calm state, "Then let's go..." After saying that, he saluted the eldest lady and took the people away.
"Yun Fang, I..." The second wife looked at her daughter with a little embarrassed look. If it weren't for her daughter's rescue, she wouldn't know what would happen.
"Mom, it's okay..." Duan Yunfang hurriedly patted her hands to comfort her.
"The third aunt is such a good method. She has taught such a powerful daughter!" Before the eldest lady could speak, the second aunt, who was about to be crazy, spoke first. The eldest lady followed the mother's hand beside her and sat back on her main seat and drank tea gracefully, as if she had not seen the dispute in front of her.
"Second Auntie, my mother is now the second wife. Please call her second wife..." Duan Yunfang didn't like the second wife's sour words and frowned slightly and said to her.
"Haha... it's amazing! I've become a legitimate daughter and then I've taken the position of a legitimate daughter. This looks even more upright than a eldest lady..." The second aunt snorted coldly. "I don't know what tricks I used to think of myself as a phoenix? I tell you, I don't care whether you are a fair wife or a legitimate daughter. In my eyes, you are the dirtiest people in this mansion..."
"You..." Duan Yunfang stared at the second aunt in anger. The second wife hurriedly pulled Duan Yunfang's sleeve and refused to let her say anything more.
The second aunt looked at the interaction between the two and smiled contemptuously, "What? I think it doesn't sound nice? But I'm going to say it out, what can you do?"
"Second Aunt, even if you are not convinced, it is my mother who is the second wife now. Don't you understand the other reason for this? Do you want to ask a few questions in front of your father?" Duan Yunfang looked at the second wife coldly and looked at the eldest wife again.
When the second aunt heard that she was going to move out the master, her expression on her face was a little embarrassed but she didn't say anything. She just sat in her seat, looking at the second wife and daughter standing in the middle with disdain. She cursed in her heart: Little slut, see how long can you be glorious?
"Sister, congratulations on your favor! When the master comes down to the court, my wife will discuss holding a banquet for you another day to make a lively life. In addition, you will find someone to clean up your yard..." The eldest lady put down the cup in her hand and looked at the second lady. "Your clothes are a little worn. Everyone in this mansion is not worried about it, and they don't know how many winter clothes you have to buy. In addition, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is coming soon, and Yun Fang has to make a few decent winter clothes. Ma Zhang, I will give the second lady the gems in my room later..."
"But that was the dowry given to the old lady by the old lady, and said it was for the eldest lady. Madam..." Zhang's mother was a little unhappy when she heard it. The eldest lady glared at her, "If you ask you to take it, what are you talking too much?"
"My daughter appreciates the mother's intentions, but the object is too expensive, my daughter dares not accept it. She asked her mother to take back what she said just now..." Duan Yunfang heard what Zhang Ma meant, but there was no one who didn't understand. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and refused.
"What are you afraid to accept, girl? The eldest lady is my daughter, so are you..." The eldest lady smiled, and then looked at Mama Zhang's face a little cold, "Why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes..." Zhang Ma went unwillingly. After a while, Ma Ma held a box in her hand. The eldest lady smiled and waved Duan Yunfang to come to her and opened the box. Duan Yunfang looked down and saw that she could hardly open her eyes. The heads and faces in the box were all exquisite and unique, with variety and beautiful styles. Especially the ruby on it, which was dotted on it and looked dazzling in the daytime. This thing is really expensive. Duan Yunfang thought about pushing it away. The eldest lady stuffed the box into her hand, "Please take it! This head and face are too young and fancy, and I can't use it at my age. You can use it..."
"But..." Duan Yunfang only felt that she should refuse, but she felt reluctant in her heart. She had never seen such a beautiful headdress, and if there was one, it would be very good. The eldest lady naturally did not miss it. Duan Yunfang's struggle and greed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were almost invisible. "This is an object for congratulations, please take it! Don't refuse, if you refuse again, you'll see..."
"Thank you, mother..." Duan Yunfang had no choice but to accept it, and then returned to her seat with the box.
"Madam is generous, I will give her a valuable one at once. I hope it will not be a waste of water..." The second aunt sitting beside her said in a sour tone. The eldest lady smiled indifferently. "Sister said this, the children in the mansion are all my wife's children, why are they empty?" As she said that, she looked at her with a meaningful look. The second aunt froze and her face turned pale, she didn't continue to say anything.
"Mrs. Second Lady is in poor health. I will ask the warehouse to send some ginseng bird's nests to replenish them later. If nothing happens, everyone will be separated..." The eldest Lady said a few words to the aunts and started to drive people away.
Everyone stood up and took their leave. When the second aunt walked over to the second lady, she bumped into the second lady on purpose or by accident. If Yun Fang hadn't been quick, she would have hit the second lady on the ground. When the other aunts saw it, they covered their mouths and laughed, with their eyes clearly watching the show. They didn't come forward to comfort her, but just looked at the mother and daughter with a little ridicule, and then left in groups of three or three.
After watching everyone leave, Zhang Ma couldn't help asking, "Madam, why did you give such expensive objects to the second lady? This lady has long been fond of it. If she knew about it, she wouldn't know what to do..."
"Ma Zhang, do you think my wife would scold her for no reason?" The eldest lady smiled coldly. "Now she is in the limelight, will my wife take advantage of the opportunity to make her angry? You must know that the higher you climb, the more you often fall..."
"What does madam mean?" Zhang Ma was a little puzzled.
"Ma Zhang, do you really think that second lady is a very simple person? She has no greed?" The eldest lady said this and sneered. "I just saw her with her own eyes seeing that greedy expression..."
"But so what?" Zhang Ma was a little puzzled.
The eldest lady lowered her head and looked at the scarlet nails she painted. "As a human being, I'm afraid she won't be greedy. As long as there is greed, what else can't be done?" The eldest lady lowered her head and laughed. The voice was like a ghost crawling out of hell. She scared Zhang's mother and shivered and never dared to ask more questions.
Duan Yunyun, who was cultivating his character in the room, heard the news from the front yard and grabbed the cup next to him and threw it to the ground with a ferocious look on his face, "Duan Yunfang, you dare to use such a trick. I will make you regret it, I will definitely..." Speaking of this, Duan Yunyun threw all the things he could touch by the bed on the ground, but it still couldn't stop her from becoming more and more angry. The man, two people, became a slut.
So what about the legitimate daughter? Don’t forget that I, Duan Yunyun, are a serious legitimate daughter, but they are much more legitimate than you, who has become a legitimate daughter halfway through. Duan Yunyun thought, and felt that there was a fire in his chest that accumulated in his chest. He finally couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood and then fainted straight. This fainting didn’t matter, but it scared the maid who served in the house. He hurried to find the eldest lady...
