Mrs. Zhou's tea was served, and Mrs. Qian seemed to have calmed down, but she almost turned into tears and was helped down by Yu Yuxi and several maids.
Mrs. Qian turned around slightly and said to Yu Ruiwen: "Marquis Xuanping, let's end this matter here! I no longer care about your marrying an equal wife, but I hope that Marquis Xuanping will stop blaming her for this matter.
No matter how bad she is, she is still your Madam Hou. You can't really have a new person and forget about the old one!"
"Mrs. Qian, how could this..." Yu Ruiwen didn't expect that things would get to this point. Even if the matter is resolved now, everyone is still in a bad mood, but seeing Mrs. Qian trembling slightly
Seemingly, I couldn't express this tone, so I could only respond.
"When I get back, I'll hire a good doctor." Mrs. Qian shook her head and glanced at everyone present, "I spoiled her rotten and made her unable to bear the blow, and for a moment... she ended up like this.
It's all my fault."
Mrs. Qian blamed herself so much that her eyes turned red. Seeing that she was so pale that she almost fainted, Yu Ruiwen hurriedly reached out to help her: "How can you blame the old lady for this..."
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. If I had known that Princess An and the eldest daughter disliked my daughter so much... how could I have agreed to the marriage between the two families and caused the Marquis to beg in front of the Queen? All this is my fault.
, It’s all my fault that I thought too well at the time, so that…”
Mrs. Qian burst into tears. She took the handkerchief from the woman next to her and couldn't speak for a while.
Talking about what happened that year, Yu Ruiwen blamed himself more and more. If it hadn't been for him, Mrs. Qian wouldn't have been injured like this and almost couldn't be saved.
He was reluctant to Mrs. Qian's proposal at first, but seeing the way Mrs. Qian left her alone before her death, he felt that he owed Mrs. Qian originally, so he agreed. Later, he confronted his mother and even went to
He begged the Queen, the cause of all this was himself.
Thinking of this, I felt all kinds of feelings for Mrs. Qian.
"Old Madam, there's no need to say it. This matter is also my fault." Yu Ruiwen said, helping Old Madam Qian to sit down.
Mrs. Qian shook her head: "There is no need to sit down. Mrs. Hou is like this now. How can I sit down properly? I have to find a good doctor first. I hope that for my sake, Marquis Xuanping will not blame her too much."
, she just... couldn't bear it for a while."
After Mrs. Qian finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhou.
"Mrs. Zhou, it was my fault before. I hope that for my sake, Mrs. Zhou will forgive Mrs. Hou for her crazy words."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear these words and kept saying: "Mrs. Qian said it too seriously."
"Do you still want to eat?" What they said was very affectionate. After Feng Yu threw Yu Ruyi to Feng Banxiu, he slightly curved his lips and asked, "If you don't want to eat, I will go back and eat."
Being overwhelmed by his words, Yu Ruiwen felt very uncomfortable, but had to concentrate and continue the banquet. Today must be a big event for Mrs. Zhou, so she just served tea and went over hastily. If this banquet also went over hastily, among the ladies of the aristocratic family, Mrs. Zhou will also
Shameless.
Mrs. Qian was unwilling to sit down any longer. After saying goodbye to Yu Ruiwen, she supported her mother-in-law and left slowly.
Aunt Qin turned around and left when she saw the commotion at the scene. She came here today to answer Yu Xijiao's invitation and come to the house for An and the eldest princess to have a look.
As for what happened next, it had nothing to do with her.
Everyone sat down again, and now only Mrs. Zhou was left as the chief female. She sat there with her head lowered, looking alone, and the situation was not good.
Many people felt that the tea ceremony was carried out by Hu Yan, which did not look like a formal ceremony. Mrs. Zhou's identity was really embarrassing this week, showing a bit of unfairness and incomprehension.
Yu Xijiao came up with Yu Zhuqing and sat on both sides of Mrs. Zhou.
The table of female relatives immediately looked a little more imposing. Yu Xijiao, the biological daughter of the Xie family, represented the Xie family's face and her recognition of Mrs. Zhou.
Although Yu Zhuqing is an adopted daughter, many people have been saying recently that Yu Ruiwen is also very good to this adopted daughter and will not ignore her.
With the two of them here, there was less discussion below. After all, the identities of these two people were justified.
Seeing his two daughters coming out to accompany Mrs. Zhou, Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the matter would end up wrong. The party was not over yet and everyone had left. It was best to keep this matter safe.
There was Feng Lanxiu in the men's seat, and no one would leave early without opening their eyes. As for whether Yu Lanxiu was very willing, at least it couldn't be seen on the surface.
Prince Duan, who has always been gentle and gentle to others, has always had a good temper. Even though such a farce happened just now, he talked to Yu Ruiwen like a normal person and returned the jade Ruyi to Yu Ruiwen.
"Marquis Xuanping, please keep this jade Ruyi away. Don't let it fall into the hands of women and children next time." Feng Lanxiu handed the jade Ruyi forward.
"Yes, I understand." Yu Ruiwen said repeatedly, carefully taking the jade Ruyi, feeling very scared in his heart. If this had not happened before, and if Qian really succeeded today, how would he end up?
, how will the Zhou family end?
Thinking about it, it's lucky that it's all used up. This jade Ruyi is just Jade Ruyi.
He lowered his head and looked at the jade Ruyi in his hand, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes. His mother said that this jade Ruyi might be the cause of trouble, but now it is peaceful.
The boy took Yu Ruyi and stepped back a few steps to go to the study. This thing must be packed away carefully. The jade Ruyi given by the late emperor cannot be touched by others at will.
"Does Marquis Xuan Ping feel distressed?" Feng Yu said with a half-smile.
Yu Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing to feel bad about. It worked very well at that time and place."
"I didn't expect Marquis Xuanping to be such an affectionate person. He became a beauty at the first glance." Feng Yu's lips curved up, and his eyes were watery.
Yu Ruiwen blushed, what he said really sounded like sarcasm. If it had been someone else, he would have retorted back, but this person happened to be the Crown Prince of Qi.
"Make Prince Qi laugh." Yu Ruiwen said helplessly.
"What do you mean by not laughing at all? This is how a man should behave. If not for a beauty, who should he be?" Feng Yu said with emotion.
He raised his eyes and suddenly looked at Yu Xijiao opposite, and the corners of his lips became more and more raised.
After Yu Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly took two steps forward, stopped Feng Yu's line of sight, and laughed twice, "Your Majesty, you are joking."
"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth. If a man doesn't behave like this, what's the point?" Feng Yu's eyes were full of light, and he reiterated again, which inexplicably made Yu Ruiwen feel more and more uneasy.
Feng Lanxiu looked up and looked behind Yu Ruiwen. He seemed to see Feng Yu paying attention to the seat opposite him. Looking at Feng Yu's appearance again, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Is this cousin going to cause trouble again?
It doesn't matter if Feng Yu causes trouble, just don't bring yourself with it.
"Yes, Prince Qi is absolutely right." Yu Ruiwen said vaguely, and simply sat down in this position, blocking Feng Yu's gaze from the other side.
The banquet that followed was very well served. Although Yu Ruiwen invited not many people today, he prepared a lot, which made the Yu clan very satisfied.
Regarding the topic of Qian and Zhou, everyone knew it and did not mention it. Even if it was mentioned accidentally, someone would immediately help to change the topic, and the whole banquet was enjoyable.
When the banquet was almost over, Feng Lanxiu stood up and said goodbye. The next affairs of the family temple had nothing to do with him.
"Cousin, won't you take me with you?" Feng Lanxiu just spoke, and Feng Yu had already asked him with a smile.
Feng Lanxiu actually didn't want to take it with him. He always felt that Feng Yu was going to cause trouble again. But now that he said this, he had to take it with him: "Brother Yu, won't you stay for a while longer?"
"It doesn't matter if I stay. If it weren't for my cousin, I would have come here for a bad reason. Now it's just the right time to take advantage of my cousin's luck and the happiness of Marquis Xuanping." Feng Yu walked lazily.
He leaned back in the wheelchair, his eyes flowing over everyone's faces.
"Then let's go together." Feng Lanxiu said calmly, no longer wanting to care about the meaning of his words.
Feng Yu didn't say anything more this time. He bowed his hands to Yu Ruiwen in the wheelchair and left with Feng Lanxiu.
As soon as the two royal brothers left, other good friends and officials who were not from the Yu family also left one by one. There was a lot of trouble in the Xuanping Hou Mansion today, and some people felt that they should think about it carefully when they went back.
Is this jade Ruyi really useless now?
Watching these people leave one by one, the Yu clan members breathed a sigh of relief. Especially when the two royal brothers were around, they could only speak in a low voice for fear of disturbing those two people.
With everyone else gone, they could relax.
One clan elder saw that it was getting late and came over to remind Yu Ruiwen.
Yu Ruiwen nodded, stood up, took Mrs. Zhou and a group of Yu clan members to the ancestral hall in the mansion to worship, and then burned paper for Xie inside.
Mrs. Xie is the real Mrs. Hou and the first wife. Mrs. Qian can only be regarded as the step-mother, a little shorter than Mrs. Xie. In front of Mrs. Xie, she is also the step-wife who performs the concubine ceremony. As for the equal wife, she is even shorter.
Just now Qian's ceremony was rushed over, but Xie's ceremony was held in a very standard manner.
Yu Xijiao held the memorial tablet of her mother Xie, took Mrs. Zhou's cup of tea, and then poured it into the paper ashes on the side. Finally, Mrs. Zhou made a big salute to the memorial tablet, and the ceremony was officially completed.
Now that the ceremony was completed, the members of the Yu clan did not stay any longer and left one by one. However, when leaving, several elders of the Yu clan gave Yu Ruiwen a few words of advice.
"Qian's contribution to the Xuanpinghou Mansion has been hard work without credit. Xuanpinghou must not do this again in the future."
"Whether Marquis Xuanping wants to marry a common wife or take a concubine in the future, it is best to wait until Madam Hou is in better health instead of leading others to stimulate her."
"Let's ask someone to see Mrs. Hou first. She seemed fine at first, but then she lost her composure when she was aroused. It shouldn't be a big problem, as long as she doesn't irritate her again in the future."
When Yu Ruiwen said these words, he was confused at first, and then stamped his feet angrily. When he tried to explain again, several clan elders had already shaken their heads and left...
