Chapter 44
After Wen Shi died of miscarriage and hemorrhage after playing with the concubine Guanwen Hou loved, Guanwen Hou moved to Yulan Hall in the west in the name of recuperating.
Since Marquis Guanwen was able to raise a son who was banished to immortality, he himself did not attach much importance to official career.
In the past, his father, Old Marquis, restrained him. After the old Marquis passed away ten years ago, now Guanwen Marquis has devoted himself to spiritual cultivation, either studying or refining elixirs, and rarely interferes with worldly matters.
Apart from tutoring Wang Duanhan in his career, the old man never left the house and basically never appeared in the court. Therefore, it was not without reason that Guanwenhou's lineage was pushed aside.
The Wang family can only recall the glory of their ancestors, the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes. Of course, the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes did not dare to show off in front of outsiders, after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasty.
Moreover, the old Marquis who was the Tutor taught the last foolish king of the previous dynasty. Even if a prince is appointed today, the Wang family will not be allowed to be the Tutor again.
If the old marquis hadn't decisively turned his back on the enemy and offered his jade seal when Taizu forced him into the palace, how could the Wang family have been crowned Marquis Wen?
They had long since been wiped out like the group of nobles from the previous dynasty.
Wen Shi spat at her husband, "Master Hou, can't you talk about the fourth child? Boss, the second child is not up to par. The fourth child is talented and handsome but has no intention of pursuing an official career. Who will the Wang family rely on in the future?"
The old man, with his gray beard and hair, leaned lazily, looking through the elixir prescriptions by candlelight, pondering the techniques of elixir refining, and turned a deaf ear to his wife's words. Most of the servants who served him were old men from the Hou Mansion, standing silently with their hands down.
Dare to speak.
"Master Hou..."
"What are you yelling about? Isn't there brother Han who you value? The fourth brother and I have already tutored him to become Xiao Sanyuan, one of the four heroes in the capital. Isn't he good enough to revitalize Guanwen Hou Mansion?"
The old man cast a sidelong glance at his old wife, and was worried that he would take away Mrs. Wen's anger. He motioned to the pretty maid next to him to help him beat his legs, and said slowly and calmly:
"I know it's not easy for you. You are looked down upon among your group of old sisters, but the Wang family is always aristocratic, and you don't know the fourth child's temperament? The harder you push him, the less he will love you.
Take the road of official career.”
"In order to get the fourth son to get close to the Chiang family, my father punished him by kneeling in front of the ancestor's mourning hall for three days and three nights. He used a whip to beat the flesh on his back to pieces, but in the end, the fourth son still bit him and refused to go?
The fourth child always regarded his first encounter with the Jiang family as an accident... He was unwilling to get close to her in order to keep the title of the Wang family. In the end, it was his grandfather who knelt in front of the fourth child holding the iron certificate of the alchemy book that made the fourth child moved.
We have already wronged the Fourth Brother enough. What else do you want from him? Surrender to Jiang and please her?"
"But Lord Marquis, that is the famous Confucius family of Yanshenggong. The Jiang family got the Wenhua invitation. This post talked about the Duke's family, and even the princess may not be able to get it. Such a good opportunity,
Wouldn't it be a pity to only let Mr. Jiang and the useless Yao girl go?"
"Since you feel it's a pity, go and tell Mr. Jiang. Aren't you her mother-in-law? Ms. Jiang won't listen to you?"
"..."
Wen was so angry that she could only breathe heavily. If her words were useful to Jiang, why couldn't she get money from Jiang for so many years? As for going to the Kong family to talk to her son first and then her husband?
There was a trace of ridicule on the old man's lips. "I think your mother-in-law is not honest enough, so Mr. Jiang doesn't respect you. You asked me to teach Brother Han. You said that he is a scholar and is my grandson...
...I have obeyed you for all these things. If you give just a little bit of your love to your fourth beloved concubine, the Yin family, to Fei'er, she will not die of a hemorrhage."
His beloved concubine Shao Feier has always been a pain in the old man's heart. Even if Feier dies, he will remember to be attached to Feier for the rest of his life.
Wen held a breath in her chest, and the breath was like a needle piercing her internal organs. "Shao is charming, enchanting, unruly, and confuses the Marquis. How can she compare with Yin?"
"Aren't they all concubines? If I dote on Fei'er, it's a heinous crime. In your eyes, it's normal for the fourth child to cherish the Yin family. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Hasn't Madam learned this?"
"Master, now is not the time to mention the Shao family. The key is to go to Yan Shenggong's Mansion..."
Whenever Wen Shi thinks of that charming and enchanting concubine Shao Feier, he wants to crush her to ashes. If she hadn't been the instigator behind his back, how could he and the Marquis have separated from each other?
Can the old man's doting on the Shao family be the same as the fourth son's doting on the Yin family?
"You said that I don't have to worry about the affairs of the back house. You can make the decision about the back house."
The old man knew full well that Fei'er died strangely, but due to the rules of the male leading the household and the female taking charge, Fei'er was a concubine and it was not easy for him to be angry with Wen over his concubine's death.
"I can't do anything about the fourth child's temperament. As a father-in-law, I discipline Jiang. Do you think this is the rule of our Marquis? Therefore, if you have the ability, let Jiang take brother Han and girl Xuan with him.
Go to Duke Yansheng's Mansion, and if you don't have the skills, think about how to get along with your daughters-in-law so that they all listen to you."
"I value Brother Han and Xuan'er not because they are sensible and responsible? Isn't it for the good of the Hou Mansion?"
"Come on, you can fool the fourth child by saying this. The fifth child is also a concubine, right? His biological mother is still your dowry maid and has been raised by your side since you were a child. What happened? Have you ever been interested in him? I remember the fifth child.
When he was enlightened, his endorsements were no worse than those of the fourth child. After entering the school, he was sick one day, playful the next, and climbed trees and hunted birds the next. It was a lot of trouble, and his studies were delayed."
The old man lowered his eyelids and stared at the old palm: "The left and right are concubines. It's up to you. But if I don't say it, it doesn't mean I don't understand. If I had worried about Xiao Wu even a little bit, I'm afraid he would have died of illness long ago.
As for the concubines raised by your side, which one is not stupid and clumsy? Which one is well married? You are not as 'loving' to the other daughters-in-law as you are to the Jiang family. Except for the fourth child, which one is in the same house?
Isn’t I honest?”
Wen's face was pale, her body was trembling with anger, and her lips were purple: "You blame me? You don't think about what makes Jiang worthy of being the fourth child? Don't I feel sorry for my son who has been wronged for the Hou Mansion? Do you think I am cruel?
Your mother doesn’t know she cares about her son?”
"I also feel sorry for the fourth child, and I am considerate of the fourth child so I don't care about his doting on the Yin family. Brother Han and Xuan'er are indeed outstanding and sensible, and the fourth child really loves them. I will go along with the wishes of the fourth child and you,
Pamper and nurture them more."
The old man touched his gray beard and said sadly: "I can't help the fourth child's character. In terms of eloquence, I'm not as good as him. Besides, I don't want to wrong him anymore. I'll give you a trick. Go see Mrs. Yin."
He and Xuan girl, the two of them are pampered by the fourth child. Their words are more effective than yours. If you can't understand the fourth child, why not let the Yin family go, who will make the fourth child prefer her. "
"puff"
Today is Wen's unlucky day. Nothing goes his way from morning to night, and he is always frustrated.
There was a fire in her heart, and now she finally vented her anger and depression. As a result, she was beaten so hard by her daughter-in-law, granddaughter, son, and husband that she vomited blood...
"Old lady."
"fine."
Wen was supported by a servant and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
The old man glanced at her lightly and said to the attendant beside him: "I will clean up the blood stains in a while. The bloody disaster is not conducive to my alchemy practice."
"Master Hou..."
"I have said everything that needs to be said, and I have done what needs to be done. I don't have to worry about the affairs of the back house. I will always remember your words."
The old man was supported by the pretty maid and left Wen Shi to go to the bedroom to rest. Wen Shi bit her lip, and for a moment, soreness and misery filled her chest. Her husband had never let go of that bitch Shaofei'er...
…
Wen returned to her residence in despair, originally thinking of calling Wang Zhixuan to relieve her boredom, but when she heard that Wang Yixin had gone to find Jiang, Wen felt a little happy because her son was still sensible and willing to listen to her persuasion.
Later, I heard that Wang Yixin went to see Aunt Yin and her daughter first... Wen couldn't help but burst into tears, beat her chest and cursed, "You bastard, you evil son!"
Her words are not as effective as a concubine. How can this make Wenshi feel embarrassed?
Another son wouldn't have made her so sad. Wang Yixin was the youngest son that the Wen family loved and cherished the most, which was equivalent to half her life.
In his son's heart, he only loves his concubine, his daughter and his son, but has no biological mother... Wen's hard work for half his life has led to such a result, how can he not be sad?
…
Wang Yixin stood in front of the closed courtyard door. He had already knocked on the door. There were also servants inside who went to report to the Chiang family. Originally, he was waiting with the style of banishing an immortal, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement. He lost face.
Feeling a little unable to get down, she signaled Mo Xiang to call the door again.
Mo Xiang has recently been confused by Fourth Master Wang's sudden changes. In the past, he knew that Aunt Yin was Fourth Master's concubine and that Fifth Miss was the fourth master's favor. Mo Xiang was naturally closer to the person who won his master's favor. What's the matter?
Aunt Yin will be informed of the news as soon as possible.
The fifth lady is generous and steady, tolerant to her servants, and Mo Xiang is happy to get close to Wang Zhixuan.
But now, the Fourth Master seems to have suddenly become 'interested' in the Seventh Miss. He is worried about the Seventh Miss. Even though he was kicked out by the Fourth Lady, the Fourth Master is still in the study thinking about the future husband of the Seventh Miss.
Fourth Master mentioned to him that he wanted to arrange for Miss Seven to meet with a certain young master...
In the past, this was a treatment that only the fifth young lady had, but in Mo Xiang's view, the seventh young lady still couldn't keep up with the fifth young lady. At least the fourth master's choice for the fifth young lady had a higher status than the seventh young lady.
Even if a lady is pampered by her mother's family, doesn't her status after marriage still depend on her husband?
Mo Xiang instinctively felt that the future status of the seventh lady's husband would not be as good as that of the stunning fifth lady.
When Wang Yixin was waiting impatiently, the courtyard door opened with a creak, and the mother guarding the gate helped her body indifferently, "Madam has just taken a bath, fourth master, please come back. Madam will not care about which aunt you favor."
, Master will take a bath for a while."
Wang Yixin raised his hand to hold the courtyard door that was about to close, stepped into the courtyard, and threatened: "This is the palace of Marquis Guanwen, and she is my wife. How can there be any reason in the world to shut out the husband?"
He didn't have to come to Jiang's room. But Jiang refused him and arranged for him to pamper his aunt, which made Wang Yixin very upset.
So, he broke into the house. The glistening candlelight made Jiang's figure outline on the landscape screen, and the sound of the rushing water was like the best aphrodisiac music...
Wang Yixin likes Yin's soft and charming body and her tight and hot valley. He also likes Yin's graceful love under him, clinging to him tightly and letting him dominate everything. But it is undeniable that he also likes Jiang's.
Ketone bodies.
At this time, his nose was a little itchy. Could it be that he had it patched recently?
Jiang and Wang Yixin have been married for more than ten years and have a son and a daughter. It can be said that except for the days when Wang Yixin goes to the study, their sex is quite harmonious and frequent.
Wang Yixin would not keep his integrity for Aunt Yin just because he truly loved her. In front of the Jiang family, he always behaved like a handsome gentleman who was relegated to immortality. He was a normal man with seven emotions and six desires.
If Wang Yixin had not been very enthusiastic and the sexual relationship between husband and wife was harmonious, Jiang would not have been deceived and toyed by him for so many years.
Of course, sometimes when Wang Yixin was distracted on the cave, Jiang automatically thought that he was tired and reserved.
They have the most normal intimacy between husband and wife. Even if their minds cannot communicate with each other, they are very familiar with each other's bodies.
Perhaps because of being scolded by Wang Zhiyao, Wang Yi's confidence was a little less 'shit'. At this time, when he saw the enchanting, plump and sexy figure on the screen, a trace of desire surged in his heart for some reason.
He didn't think at all that having a crush on the Jiang family meant he could not live up to his true love for Aunt Yin.
Mrs. Jiang knew that Wang Yixin was behind the screen. Before being together with Wang Yixin, she would wash up first, fearing that the uncleanness on her body would contaminate the 'immortal', and because of the rules of the Wang family. Every time
During sex, she tried her best to suppress her "wildness" and did not dare to express it too much, for fear that Fourth Master Wang would think she was frivolous and indulgent. Even so, Mrs. Jiang could also feel that Fourth Master was satisfied with her body.
To this day, Mr. Jiang still can't figure it out. Wang Yixin may not love himself, but how could he fall in love with Aunt Yin?
Of course, she would never say this to Wang Zhiyao again, nor would she ask Fourth Master Wang.
After being deceived for more than ten years, Mrs. Jiang did not want her dignity to be trampled under the feet of Fourth Master Wang and Mrs. Yin again.
Once upon a time, she was also the first socialite in the northwest, and was the object of admiration for many brave and brave young people.
"Jade Chan..."
Wang Yixin swallowed, rubbed his nose, and whispered: "I heard that you are going to Yan Shenggong's Mansion?"
"Um."
Jiang just gave a brief hum. There was no enthusiasm or talkativeness at all after seeing him.
Wang Yixin didn't know how to continue. In the past, he was annoyed by Jiang's vulgar showoff. He was impatient that Jiang didn't understand poetry and just pretended to understand... Now that Jiang was silent, Wang Yixin hoped that Jiang would be more polite.
Say a few words, even if it is to show off how much favor Xi Ning Bo has received, it is better than remaining silent now.
A screen separated the two of them, and each seemed to be unable to find its own voice.
"Mom, I brought the plum blossoms, and the Fanbang Xianglu that grandpa gave me."
Wang Zhiyao carried a basket of plum blossom petals and ran in happily. Her voice was like a cheerful magpie, "Okay, you don't mean what you say. You didn't even wait for me to take a bath together..."
It's not that she didn't know that Wang Yixin had barged in. Wang Zhiyao seemed to not recognize him, tilting her head and asked in confusion: "Hey, why are you here?"
Jiang sank her body into the bathtub, not wanting to listen or take care of it.
She was very disappointed with Fourth Master Wang, and promised her father to protect her children and seek justice for herself, but she needed time to forget her love for Wang Yixin...
If she faced Wang Yixin at this time, she would not want to reconcile, but would like to kill Wang Yixin who deceived her with a sword, and then commit suicide.
She admitted that she was weak and useless.
"She is my wife, why shouldn't I come here?"
Wang Yixin felt that his face was a little hot, and he felt a little aggrieved in his heart. Yes, he doted on Mrs. Yin, and would take a small road to look for Mrs. Yin when he spent the night in the study.
But he spent far more time in Jiang's house than looking for Yin. Even if he was impatient with Jiang, he would still give his legitimate wife the dignity and respect she deserved.
This is where he always feels proud. Even though he has wronged himself and his true love, he still maintains the tradition of respecting wives and concubines in the fourth house. He is much better than the ruthless man who dotes on his concubines and destroys his wives.
But what he used to be proud of was torn to pieces by Wang Zhiyao's mocking gaze, and he seemed to have become the most hypocritical hypocrite.
"You don't have to force yourself to come to my mother in the future."
Since Wang Zhiyao returned home, she only called Wang Yixin her father when she was sarcastic. Wang Yixin, who has always been smart, also noticed this, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you always think that my mother is not good enough, and Aunt Yin is your confidante? For the sake of you being my father, let me tell you the truth, no woman is not jealous,
Even if you are not in my heart, a woman who treats you as a tool to 'carry on the family line' or enjoy 'glory and wealth' will still be offended. I think you know best whether Aunt Yin is a woman."
Continuing the family line, prosperity and wealth, tools?
These words made Wang Yixin feel angry and said sternly: "Wang Zhiyao, do you still think that I am your father?"
"Do you know what this is?" He took out the rose scented water. The transparent glass bottle contained crimson liquid. Wang Zhiyao shook the glass bottle in front of Wang Yixin. The crimson liquid swayed and reflected a coquettish light, which also made Wang Zhiyao look more beautiful.
A bit different from the previous charm and enchantment.
She has grown up and is no longer the little girl who just wants to be close to him.
Wang Yixin personally witnessed every step of the growth of Wang Zhixuan and Wang Duanhan, but his love for Wang Zhiyao still stayed at the time when she was cute and willful... "Yao'er."
"The tributes paid by various countries to Your Majesty do not exceed ten bottles in the entire country. One drop of them is worth as much as gold. This is the rose scented water that my grandfather gave me. Clothes, jewelry, and furnishings, which of them did you give me?
Have you really taught me how to be a human being? Have you ever cared about what I think? Have you ever thought about my future?"
"Not at all. What qualifications do you have to be my father?"
"Who said no?" Wang Yixin said angrily: "Yesterday I was still thinking about your future husband..."
"Oh, you helped me choose one of the remaining people for Fifth Sister. You clearly know that I love wealth, but you chose a "waste" scholar for me even though Fifth Sister doesn't like. You really feel sorry for me.
Cherish me, I have tried so hard to let your beloved concubine rest on my head. Let me see her rich and proud in the future, and look up to her to live her life."
Wang Zhiyao's eyes seemed to be filled with ice, and she sneered: "I don't ask you to hold a bowl of water evenly, but a father shouldn't be too partial. In fact, I have always wanted to ask, am I your biological child?"
"..."
"By the way. You didn't stay with Aunt Yin so late at night. I'm afraid you came to see my mother because of Wenhua's invitation. Let me guess, the fifth sister must have said that she also wants to go to the Kong family. By the way,
Would you like to meet Mr. Kong Ruiwen, one of the two heroes?"
"She didn't say it. She didn't want to embarrass me." Wang Yixin defended Wang Zhixuan.
"I underestimated her 'non-compassionate' and 'low-key' nature. As expected, the fifth sister is your biological child and a socialite highly respected by Marquis Guanwen. She is not like me. She doesn't like wealth and extravagance, and she doesn't like to argue.
I want to be in the limelight, let alone steal the admiration of young talents... When I meet a noble man with good looks, good family background, good education, and high status, I will definitely stay away, unlike me who often pretends to be particularly supportive of Gu San.
Young Master, tsk tsk, you are the only one who can pamper such a perfect concubine, but others...hehe, what a blessing."
The remaining whiplash on Wang Yixin's face was very painful at the moment. Wang Zhiyao's words were like a flying knife stabbing his heart. What made him most uncomfortable was that he couldn't find a reason to defend Wang Zhixuan...
"You gave her everything a father can give her. I used to envy the fifth sister and wanted my father's love. Now I think about it. Since I am not your beloved daughter, why should I bother you again?
Do you hate it? Even if you pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her, I won’t be envious and jealous anymore.”
Wang Yixin's heart was stabbed with blood and his heart suddenly hurt violently. He said in disbelief: "You..."
"Because I have a grandfather who is willing to pick up stars for me, and a group of uncles and cousins who love me and dote on me. They will always think of me when good things happen, and when I am in danger or others bully me, they will rush to protect me.
I don't need a father... You can do your best to pamper the fifth sister and treat her as the center of your heart."
"Yao'er, it's not that I don't love you, but..."
"In the past, maybe I would have been sad for your current dejected state, but now... maybe I have prayed, hoped too much, and been disappointed, so you can no longer impress me."
Wang Zhiyao will never forget that in her dream, she once knelt on the ground and prayed for Wang Yixin's protection... But Wang Yixin once again pushed away his widowed daughter and only loved Wang Zhixuan, who was already the Marquis of Yong'an.
"It's true that Fifth Sister is your beloved daughter, and it's true that she was not born by my mother. Why do you think that you gave all your resources to them, and my brother and I are not sad? How can you have the nerve to ask my mother?"
Take their brothers and sisters to Duke Yansheng's Mansion? Who is responsible for the concubines and concubines? Why should my mother help you raise a group of eyesores? Besides, aren't you afraid that my mother will treat them badly? You won't treat them badly.
They, please educate them well and don't try to take advantage of my mother."
"Rebellious girl!"
Wang Yixin raised his arm high, and when he was about to fall, his wrist was grabbed by someone. When he looked back, he saw Mrs. Jiang standing beside him wearing a coat. Wang Yixin couldn't get rid of Mrs. Jiang with all his strength...
…"Jade Chan."
"My daughter, you don't need to teach me. Just as Yao'er said, don't try to take advantage of me or the Jiang family. She has always looked down on my father's background. She is just a humble maid, but she is worthy of joining Yanshengong.
Mansion?"
Jiang pushed Wang Yixin away and watched him take two steps back and sit on the ground, "I won't hide it from you. My father asked Yan Shenggong to send the invitation to Wenhua. Since everyone in the Hou family can't see it,
Do you want to go to Duke Yansheng's mansion with me? Fourth Master Wang, you are very beautiful, but don't think too much about it."
He hugged Wang Zhiyao, and there was a threat in Jiang's words, "If you let me see you hitting Yao'er again, Wang Yixin, I will make you walk around without food."
PS has put several books on the shelf, but I am still very nervous. Please order Pink. In the first seven days of this month, there will be thirty Pinks and one more. It is rare to be so diligent at night. I hope everyone will support me and vote for Pink. (To be continued.)
