Jiang said with emotion: "If I had known, I would have let him marry Aunt Xu in the early years, and nothing would have happened later."
At that time, Mrs. Jiang still had feelings for Mr. Gu Erye's son. Mr. Gu and Aunt Xu secretly interacted with each other secretly, and if such a shameful thing happened, Mr. Jiang would blame Mr. Gu for doing something wrong and being confused.
.
But more importantly, I felt that Aunt Xu didn't know how to behave, was willing to be humble, and even seduced Mr. Gu. Such a person was not worthy of entering the gate of Changning Hou Mansion.
And if such a person becomes the second wife of Master Gu, the Changning Marquis Mansion will become the laughing stock of the Manchu City.
So she married her son, but the girl from a good family was unwilling to marry, so she picked her over and over again, and finally chose Sun. Although the Sun family was in decline at that time, Sun was still a legitimate daughter.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Sun was so deceitful that she couldn't even show off the momentum of a legitimate wife, so forget it, she kept dragging her feet, and even ignored her children for the sake of the man's one or two bits of pity and love.
As long as she can stand up a little or two, she will not lose the respect of the second master Gu, and it will also increase the prestige of Aunt Xu, allowing an aunt to bully the main wife and her legitimate son and daughter unscrupulously.
It's not like Jiang and Zhou have tried to pull her up, they've taught her countless principles and taught her countless times, but she still can't hold herself up to the wall with a handful of mud.
When I was bullied, I cried and endured it, lamenting the misfortune of my life. When my children were bullied, I forced them to make peace with it. I endured it, gritted my teeth and swallowed it, so as not to make my father angry.
In this way, Mr. Jiang and Ms. Zhou were also tired. As time went by, they naturally wanted to stop taking care of it.
This resulted in the current situation of the second house.
I regretted the past, but it was too late, and even if I married Aunt Xu, there might not be any good results. She was so big-hearted, and she might even want to encourage Mr. Gu to seek a title.
Xie Yixiao didn't want Jiang to worry about this matter anymore, so he advised: "That's not necessarily the case. Aunt Xu is evil-hearted. She can even do such evil things now. If she becomes the second wife's legitimate wife, it will also
I don’t know what will happen.”
"I wouldn't worry about someone like her serving as my daughter-in-law by my grandmother's side."
Jiang sighed: "The matter has reached this point. It is useless to talk more. We can only take it one step at a time."
Xie Yixiao sat in the Shou'an Hall for a long time, and waited until it got completely dark before saying goodbye and leaving.
Ming Xin Ming Jing held lanterns to illuminate the road. As the group walked through the garden, they happened to see Gu Zhixuan standing not far away, and his attendant stood beside him holding a lantern.
"cousin."
Xie Yi smiled and paused, then led the people forward, curtsied and saluted: "Big cousin."
There was no moon in the sky today, but the stars were shining brightly. There was a cool breeze in the courtyard, and insects and birds were chirping. Gu Zhixuan's eyes fell on her face for a moment, and he was distracted for a moment.
In the past, Xie Yixiao always came close to him, calling her cousin all the time, with her heart full of joy and a smile on her face, but he only regarded her as his sister. In his eyes, she and Gu You were the same.
But now she doesn't even look at him, and Cousin Xuan has become an eldest cousin. He is gentle, polite, neither close nor distant, but he feels a little uncomfortable with it.
Gu Zhixuan returned the courtesy: "Excuse me, cousin. I'm waiting here. I want to ask my cousin how my grandmother is doing now."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was just about to take a shower and go to bed."
Gu Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded: "Thank you cousin, there have been a lot of things going on in the house recently, and Ayou is not here, so I would like my cousin to bother talking to grandma more."
"What did you say, cousin? This is what Yixiao should do. I don't deserve my cousin's thanks."
Gu Zhixuan thought about it. Just as he was about to say something, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Master, Miss Lianhe is not feeling well. Please come over and take a look."
Gu Zhixuan frowned slightly: "Since you don't feel well, just ask the doctor to come over and take a look."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Since my eldest cousin has something to do, Yi Xiao won't bother him."
Xie Yi smiled and said goodbye, leading Ming Xin Ming Jing all the way back to Qinse Garden.
After entering the courtyard, she asked Ming Jing: "Who is Miss Lianhe?"
Ming Jing was slightly surprised: "Does the girl really not remember?"
Xie Yixiao shook his head.
Ming Jing hesitated for a long time before explaining: "This girl Lianhe... is the maid in the eldest son's courtyard..."
After saying that, Ming Jing looked at Xie Yixiao's expression carefully and felt relieved when she saw that she said nothing and said nothing more.
In the past, my wife arranged a marriage with the eldest son. When the girl found out, she was very sad. She went to find the eldest son and told him not to have a marriage with him and that she would marry him when she grew up.
It's just that the eldest son doesn't have her in his heart, so naturally he won't listen to her, and he doesn't care whether she is sad or not.
Later, they had a marriage, and the eldest son did not favor the girl, but the girl was still worried about it. She even went to find trouble with Miss Lianhe, thinking that when she got married in the future, she would definitely send Lianhe away.
Leave so as not to be an eyesore.
The girl has forgotten her past. In fact, it’s okay to forget. At least she no longer thinks about the eldest son.
Although the eldest son is a good man, he has a dignified appearance, good conduct, good etiquette, and profound knowledge, and the entire imperial city praises him for his fatherly style.
But in Ming Jing's view, if the eldest son doesn't like the girl, he is not a good match. Since he doesn't like the girl and is not willing to marry her, what good future does he have, and the wife also refuses to let the girl be her daughter-in-law.
In this way, it is also a blessing to not miss the eldest son anymore.
Thinking of this, Ming Jing thought of Mr. Rong Jiu again. That man was more suitable for girls than the eldest son. Although Mr. Rong Jiu was a little colder, he was also tolerant and gentle. Standing together with the girl, they were a perfect pair.
.
It's just a pity, I don't know what the girl thinks.
Xie Yixiao thought for a while and asked her: "Then, does every young man have a maid?"
Ming Jing was dumbfounded, hesitated for a moment and explained: "Not necessarily, some mansions don't have it either."
Xie Yixiao thought for a while, if she wanted to get married, she would have to find someone who didn't have one. She didn't want to drink tea from the concubine, let alone share the same husband, it was terrible just thinking about it.
If that was the case, it would be better to live alone, since she wouldn't be unable to support herself anyway.
Xie Yixiao tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep again. Previously, he thought that he could save himself by marrying a high-ranking man to avoid the disaster. But now he thinks about it, this high-ranking young man does not have a concubine.
There are really only a few.
Maybe I will accept them one after another in the future.
She can be content with the situation and accept the rules of this world, but she will never do it if she and other women are required to serve the same husband and take care of the husband's concubines and arrange for them to sleep with them.
Xie Yixiao didn't fall asleep until midnight that night. The next morning, before dawn, the Changning Marquis Mansion began to get busy.
