Chapter 339: Is it a mother-daughter relationship or a strong first?
Being unworthy of status is a flaw.
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head, her face turned pale, and she said nothing in embarrassment, but she did not argue.
Everyone present shook their heads, feeling that what Yu Ruiwen did today was indeed inappropriate. Zhou's status was not good enough and she could not stand on the stage. No one would say anything when she was a concubine, but if she was really promoted to an equal wife,
To compare with Xie's direct daughter is indeed a bit much.
In the past, everyone thought most about the Qian family, but now that Xie family has been brought in, no matter how much I think about it, I feel that what Mrs. Qian said is right, and she did not say it from the position of a family, so it is very fair and reasonable.
Yu Zhuqing looked at Yu Xijiao uneasily, and Yu Xijiao nodded calmly, her eyes falling on Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian's words were both expected and unexpected.
Yu Ruiwen's face turned livid and his eyes darkened. On such an occasion, he had never thought that Mrs. Qian would suddenly become angry. He never thought that the kind-hearted Mrs. Qian would embarrass him so much in public. If she really objected
, why bother saying it in front of so many people?
What Yu Ruiwen didn't expect was that Mrs. Qian was also forced to do so. She originally wanted to confirm whether the jade Ruyi in Qian's hands was real, but she never had the chance to talk to Qian in private. Now she also wants to keep the jade Ruyi.
It has a special function. I am afraid that my daughter will ruin it, so I have to stand up for my daughter.
"Mrs. Qian's words are wrong." Just when everyone was speculating that Yu Ruiwen could not leave the stage again, a voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone went back together and saw a woman appearing with two maids. Seeing this style, the master did not look like the master, and the maid did not look like the maid.
Aunt Qin, who is beside Princess An and the eldest daughter, is here.
Some people present did not know Aunt Qin, and were surprised by Aunt Qin's sudden appearance. Those who had seen her told those who had not seen her in a low voice her identity.
I heard that it was someone close to Princess An and the eldest princess. Everyone was very surprised. Princess An and the eldest princess had never cared about their son's affairs. Why did they send someone here today?
Seeing clearly that it was Aunt Qin, Mrs. Qian's heart skipped a beat. If there was one person she was very taboo about, then that person was Princess An and Dachang.
Although the two became in-laws, they had never been close to each other for so many years. Even Mrs. Qian came to see her, but was rejected.
"I've met Lord Marquis." Aunt Qin stepped forward and saluted Yu Ruiwen.
"No courtesy!" Yu Ruiwen said.
Aunt Qin raised her head and looked at Mrs. Qian: "Mrs. Qian, the eldest princess has something to say."
This represents Princess An and the eldest daughter. Mrs. Qian immediately calmed down and said, "If you have anything to say to Princess An and the eldest daughter, please tell me."
"Our eldest princess said that Mrs. Zhou should be treated as an equal wife." Aunt Qin said calmly.
"Why?" Qian interrupted in an urgent voice, glaring at Aunt Qin angrily, "Why should a bitch be with me..."
"Mrs. Hou is wrong!" Aunt Qin interrupted Qian's words rudely, her eyes turned from Mrs. Qian's face to Qian's face, and suddenly smiled, "Mrs. Zhou's background is indeed ordinary, but she is also pure.
Bai Bai, the daughter of a good family, even if she wanted to sell her body to bury her father, and later entered the Xuanping Hou Mansion, she must not have become a formal slave."
She deepened her tone on the word "formal".
Qian was stunned and looked at Yu Ruiwen subconsciously. It was Yu Ruiwen who did this. She didn't care at the time. Yu Ruiwen would occasionally bring some people into the house to show their pity. As long as he met Yu Ruiwen's eyes, he would do it.
I'll help you, I do this kind of thing often.
After Yu Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, he suddenly understood and was overjoyed: "Yes, Zhou is not a slave. She did not go to the government to formally sign the sale and purchase agreement at that time."
He bought Mrs. Zhou with money, and indeed brought her back to his house as a slave. But at the time, he thought she was pitiful, and he thought she was the daughter of a good family, and her father was also a scholar. Now that she has fallen into this situation, it is really disappointing.
Lianxi, originally thought of returning her to her place of origin after a while, so she did not apply for servant documents, and she was regarded as a free person in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
"Mrs. Zhou is not a slave." Aunt Qin responded to Yu Ruiwen with a smile, "Since she is not a slave, she is not a lowly person. Moreover, Mrs. Zhou comes from a scholarly family. However, Mrs. Zhou's father was not very lucky at that time, so Zhou
Madam, she just lives here."
There was no formal sale and purchase document, it was just a job at best. In terms of status, Mrs. Zhou was still from a scholarly family with a clean net worth and her ancestors studied.
Yu Ruiwen also reacted at this time and said: "The Xie family is from a great Confucian family, and the Zhou family is also a Confucian family. Although they have different wealth and status, they are both scholars, so why bother talking about their rank? Even if the Xie family is underground, they will not
Look down on Mr. Zhou."
We are both scholars. Even when the emperor chooses scholars, he only wants to have a clean family, as long as he does not work as a lowly servant. The scholarly family is the best. Although the ancestors of the Zhou family are not as famous as the Xie family, they can be regarded as serious scholars.
If it weren't for the influence of his ancestors, Zhou's father wouldn't be able to study.
Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Zhou's identity is really not that unbearable.
"Nonsense, I just got a lowly status at that time." Qian became anxious and jumped out, glared at Mrs. Zhou fiercely, and said sternly.
"Do you know about this, or do I know about the firewood incident? I was handling everything at the beginning, so why did you get a lowly status like you said?" Yu Ruiwen scolded impatiently, and then turned to Mrs. Qian: "I am
If you don't believe it, you can go to the government to verify that the Zhou family was not a lowly citizen at that time."
At this point, even if Mrs. Qian used other reasons to object, it would be too late.
She is Mrs. Qian, and she is Mrs. Qian who has always been kind to Yu Ruiwen, so how could she go back on her word?
After thinking about this clearly, Mrs. Qian sighed heavily: "Marquis Xuanping, I was rude just now. I just didn't know the specific situation and thought that Zhou's status was low, but I didn't expect that it was a misunderstanding."
After her words softened and her attitude became a bit kinder, Yu Ruiwen felt that the current Mrs. Qian was the real Mrs. Qian, and that the previous Mrs. Qian must have made some mistake somewhere.
"Old Madam, you're too polite. Originally, I didn't explain it clearly, so Old Madam misunderstood." Yu Ruiwen consciously gave the money to Madam. She stepped down the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief. Just when something almost happened, he really didn't expect it.
Mrs. Qian's words are so sharp.
"No, I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree." Seeing that her mother had lost, Qian jumped out anxiously.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qian scolded sternly.
"Mother, daughter..." Qian's eyes turned red with grievance.
"You are the wife of Marquis Xuanping. You should know the etiquette. Now that there is no problem with the Zhou family, this matter is over." Mrs. Qian taught her daughter in a deep voice.
"No, why should she, she is just a little cheap girl, why should she become an equal wife?" Qian was mad with jealousy, his eyes turned twice between Mrs. Zhou and Yu Ruiwen, and he said hatefully, "A
The little concubine made the Marquis dizzy, and he actually wanted to help her become his equal wife, why?"
Thinking about this period of time, she was locked up in Mingyue Xiaozhu and could not leave even half a step, and even her daughter could not visit her. After that, Zhou's position was upright, so how could she have her own place.
"A despicable woman, a woman who has done some despicable things. I don't know where she was hanging around before entering the house. How can she be innocent? How can a woman from a white family be innocent with her charming appearance?"
Come on, Mr. Hou, don’t be deceived by her, she..."
Thinking of his recent days, Mr. Qian was out of control and yelled and cursed, saying all kinds of filthy things. It was inevitable that all this bad breath would be directed at Mrs. Zhou.
"Presumptuous." Seeing Yu Ruiwen's livid face, Mrs. Qian slammed the table hard and interrupted Qian's words sharply.
Yu Yuxi's face was ugly. In front of King Duan, her mother lost her decency and cursed like a shrew in the well. It was really embarrassing. Yu Yuxi only hated that neither she nor King Duan should be here. Her mother was really
Are you crazy? Is this what a Madam Hou like her should say in public?
"Mother……"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you being imprisoned so stupidly recently? Why are you talking nonsense like this?" Mrs. Qian was furious, "Are you being imprisoned so crazy?"
"Mother……"
Mrs. Qian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and tried to calm herself down. Looking at her daughter who was blushing and thick-necked, her voice became much gentler: "You are Mrs. Hou, you have forgotten what I said to you in the past.
Yes, you must be generous, and everything should be based on the Xuanping Hou Mansion and Xuanping Hou. Don’t worry, as long as you are good, Xuanping Hou will let you out. You must be Mrs. Hou, no matter what Mrs. Zhou
I can’t get past you.”
"Mom, are you okay?" Yu Yuxi hurried over from the table, approached Qian, and asked with concern.
Madam Qian suppressed every word she said. Her face turned red, and she was anxious and angry. She pointed at Yu Ruiwen, then pointed at Zhou, and held it in for a long time. She almost fainted from holding it in.
"Xier, please help your mother go down and rest!" Mrs. Qian sighed softly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Although she scolded her daughter, she could understand her grievances.
"Mom, please go down and have a rest first." Yu Yuxi gently stretched out her hand to support Qian, half-supporting and half-pushing to take Qian away.
"Wait a minute." Yu Ruiwen suddenly took the tea cup from the maid and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, "Drink the tea first before leaving."
There is no complete ceremony without drinking tea. This tea is a must.
Yu Ruiwen was also worried that Mr. Qian would make a fuss about not drinking tea for a while, so he might as well go all out now, and with Mrs. Qian here, Mr. Qian would have to agree to this matter.
Mrs. Zhou took the tea cup and was about to kneel down again. Seeing the two of them making out, Qian was shocked again. She pushed hard with her hand. Yu Yuxi was pushed back three steps and almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid
My eyes were weak and my hands were quick, so I hurriedly supported him.
Mrs. Qian saw something bad and wanted to stand up to stop them, but she was in poor health and staggered. She just stood up and fell down again.
At this time, Mrs. Qian had already knocked aside Mrs. Zhou and rushed to Prince Duan Feng Lanxiu. She held the jade Ruyi high in her hand and knelt down: "I beg Your Highness Prince Duan to make the decision for my wife."
