Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh: Each has plans
"..." Mrs. Shu immediately calmed her sister down. After a long silence, she finally let out a breath and smiled, "Sister Jing, what you said is too much!"
"That's true!" Shu Yajing looked outside and saw that the maid in front of her was guarding her well, so she whispered, "Sister, do you know what your predicament is?"
Shu's expression instantly changed from silent to angry, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a lot: "Needless to say! Of course she is Sheng Xina's equal wife!"
Shu Yajing was silent for a long time, then looked at her sister who was immersed in thinking about how to deal with the other party with a wry smile, and couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Why is my sister so narrow-minded?
From ancient times to the present, whether it is a common wife or a noble concubine, how has it ever been possible to take charge of the affairs of the head of the house? The only one who can always overpower the mistress of the house is the head of the house! Sister, the one you should consider is your brother-in-law!"
"!!!" The sudden shout made Shu feel like the clouds had cleared.
"Sister, although I don't know much about my brother-in-law, I have heard about the friendship between my father and Lu Daru. Based on the relationship between the two families, how could he easily marry an equal wife without telling you? I guess there must be some inside story!
"
"Inside story? Where is the inside story?" Although Mrs. Shu knew that what her sister said was absolutely right, she was filled with jealousy when she thought that the husband she was looking forward to had someone else with her. She just wished she could rush over immediately and have sex with him!
Shu Yajing was also surprised. She had said so much. It was supposed that her sister should be sensible, but her sister, who had always been sober and transparent, now allowed herself to float in the sea of jealousy, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Earlier, the Marquis and his wife said they would send you to reunite with your brother-in-law. At that time, did anyone there mention to you the existence of equal wives?"
Shu shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that he resents my disrespectful behavior?"
"If this is the case, it should be revealed in the brother-in-law's family letter. If his attitude is not different, it should have nothing to do with it."
Shu thought it made sense. Just as he was about to think about it, he couldn't help but recall the letters from home.
Although he was dissatisfied with her due to the past, Xinlang also reflected on himself in the letter, saying that he did not care enough about her and wanted to pick her up and reunite him.
Everything was obviously fine before!
Shu couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Since my sister is not clear about it, I think the problem lies with my brother-in-law." Shu Yajing said tentatively, "My brother-in-law is located near the mountains and the sea. There are many bandits and pirates are frequent. There is no way that the pirate's daughter will be of any use to him!"
"Duh!" Mrs. Shu was furious when she heard this and refused to let her continue, "Your brother-in-law is proud and talented. His father praised him for his wisdom and courage. Lu Daru praised him for being proud but not conceited. He is an excellent talent!
He would rather wait until the Hanlin Academy is closed before going out, just to complete the task of suppressing bandits that others cannot do. He is proud of suppressing bandits and wants to show off his talents and skills. How can he tolerate the use of marriage to solve bandit troubles?
!”
"..." Shu Yajing knew why the sister in front of her looked strange.
He sighed helplessly.
She wanted to tell her sister that this moment was the same as that moment.
I want to tell her that people cannot change.
But after seeing her sister's firm gaze, she didn't want to say anything anymore.
"My sister's top priority is to go to the reunion." Shu Yajing felt that she could not delay her sister, "Don't wait until after the draft before setting off! Meeting earlier can create more affection and less contact between them."
She could only use this reason to persuade her sister to leave immediately.
"Let me think about it! Let me think about it again!" Shu lowered his head hesitantly.
Shu Yajing was about to be happy when she saw her sister was attracted to her, when she suddenly realized a problem: "Sister, do you think the Marquis and his wife know about this?"
"The secret letter mentioned the prince's letter to the Hou family." Mrs. Shu leaned towards him and said.
"Then sister, why don't you go and explore the truth?" Although Shu Yajing rarely interacts with Marquis Yongxing and his wife, she knows that they are good characters. "Marquis Yongxing has never taken concubines. I heard that he is proud of it. At the beginning, he and our family were also
I promised my brother-in-law that he would be a concubine if he was forty and had no children!
But what about now? The promise is still there, the concubine is already there, even if they are the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, they should explain it to our family!"
Shu was silent for a moment, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you wait until they call me over to bring it up? If not, wouldn't you be asking for it?!"
"Sister, you must never bribe your brother-in-law or anyone else in the future! Especially when there are others in the house, you must win over your brother-in-law's love and trust." Shu Yajing asked worriedly.
"It's clear!" Shu frowned slightly and put her hand on her forehead in agreement.
Seeing her sister's expression of impatience, Shu Yajing knew that she had nothing to say anymore, so she could only sigh and rub her forehead, then stood up: "Sister, take a rest for a while, and I will prepare some medicinal food for you."
But Shu didn't give in: "There are cooks and servants in the small kitchen, why do I need to ask you to work? You can rest, I will just lie down and be fine."
"Then...okay." She couldn't explain it, so Shu Yajing had to compromise, but in her heart she was thinking of going to say hello to Marquis Yongxing and his wife.
When Shu Yajing left, Mr. Shu, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, with a little irritation flashing in his eyes: "I wanted to wait for him to return to the capital, but I didn't expect someone to interfere with me and prevent me from going!"
She held her lower abdomen with her hands, feeling a little anxious: "Shu Sheng is married, and the heir to the Hou Mansion, An Neng, comes from the other side of the family!"
But I remembered that Sheng Xin's land was not only far away from Kyoto and prosperity, but also had unspeakable gangsters and pirates!
Sheng Xin said that there are no gangsters, but how can we guarantee that no one will slip through the net?
More ferocious pirates may land to plunder!
Shu felt like she was getting scared just thinking about it, let alone the local area!
If it weren't for the fact that Sheng Xin was marrying an equal wife or the daughter of a pirate, it would have been difficult to deal with. She had her own way of staying in Beijing in the name of not keeping her promise!
Thinking that her plan would definitely come to nothing, Shu felt worried.
…
Watching Shu Yajing leave, Ms. Zheng felt that something was unusual: "This girl has been coming here less often since she was punished last time. Now she comes to greet me. Why do I think I care about Pei Gong!"
Sheng Xiangxun was still angry with Bu Xiaozi at this time. After hearing what his wife said, he didn't care: "Didn't that guy make it very clear? He didn't even tell Mr. Shu about it, so how could Miss Shu Er know about it?"
"Yes!" Ms. Zheng nodded, acknowledging this.
Sheng Xiangxun comforted his wife, but he couldn't help but lost his temper again: "My reputation for love and righteousness has been ruined by this son!"
Mrs. Zheng was also not happy about her son taking a concubine without permission, not to mention that he was now an equal wife!
but……
"Is there a reason for something that is unreasonable? Could it be that Brother Xin has a reason why he has to do this?" Zheng felt that she had to find a way to find out.
"You still don't know about your son? Is that kid someone who compromises himself easily?!" Sheng Xiangxun didn't think that his son would be in trouble. He was now gearing up to go to his place and take care of it.
