Chapter 327: Using the Way of Others to Treat Himself 3
Mrs. Zhao Guogong was very resolute and her actions made Mrs. Zhao's illness even more serious without anyone noticing.
"My mother keeps talking about the third sister. Does it mean that as long as the third sister comes back, my mother will be fine?"
When Zhao Guogong heard this, he went out without saying anything.
Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that Duke Zhao Guo had entered the palace to find Emperor Lingzhou, but the second lady on the side was a little worried: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if the third sister comes back, but if Concubine Yu comes back with you..."
The second lady was disgusted when she thought about it. The woman who was mercilessly rejected by Chu Xuanzhi became a noble concubine and the laughing stock of the capital.
If you go out from now on, you won't be able to get poked in the back.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong raised her eyebrows: "What do you think we should do?"
The Second Madam was actually worried. If she didn't admit it, she would offend Zhao Qianru again and make Mrs. Zhao unhappy.
I admit it, but I feel bad again.
There is really nothing we can do.
"Let's not talk about our sisters-in-law's usual little festivals for the time being. You and I have children at our knees, and our reputation is very important, so we have to guard against it." Mrs. Zhao Guogong said sincerely.
The second lady immediately nodded: "One family does not talk about two families. If the elder sister-in-law has any idea, I will definitely be on the elder sister-in-law's side."
With this bit of eyesight, the second lady can still pick it up clearly.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong suddenly waved to the second lady and whispered a few words in the second lady's ear.
The second lady frowned: "Is this...is this okay?"
"Let's clear things up. Whether she is a concubine or a queen, what does it have to do with the Duke of Zhao's palace?"
After finishing her words, the second lady gritted her teeth and said, "I will listen to my sister-in-law on this matter."
The two people reached an agreement.
The Lingzhou Emperor could not resist Mrs. Zhao's dying request and wanted to see her daughter. The civil and military officials began to mention the topic of welcoming Concubine Yu back to the capital. After several days in a row, the Lingzhou Emperor finally compromised and issued an edict.
Let the two of them return to Beijing.
After hearing the news, Jiang Yunxu breathed a sigh of relief, it would be easier to deal with when he comes back.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and more than ten days later, Concubine Yu's honor guard entered Beijing. Almost on the same day, a fifteen-year-old girl went to Zhao Guogong's mansion, holding a jade pendant in her hand and came to acknowledge her marriage.
He insisted that Zhao Qianru was his mother.
The little girl begged in front of Duke Zhao, who was dumbfounded as soon as he saw the person.
Then who is Concubine Yu?
The little girl closed her eyes and fainted. Mrs. Zhao Guogong immediately said: "There are many talkative people outside, so we should carry them in quickly."
"Brother, I see that this little girl is somewhat similar to the third sister. Maybe she is actually the third sister's child."
The second lady immediately stepped forward to cooperate.
Zhao Guogong was a little confused for a moment. Seeing that there were many people watching the fun outside, he quickly asked people to carry the little girl inside.
The little girl woke up not long after entering the door. She looked around nervously with her eyes, not much afraid, and stood neatly, her fair and delicate face just letting people look at her.
"It's so similar, the nose, eyes and mouth." The second lady pulled the little girl sadly: "You must have suffered a lot of grievances when you were living outside, right?"
The little girl shook her head: "I am not wronged if I am lucky enough to be alive to see my mother."
"Oh, how pitiful."
The second lady took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, choked with sobs and took the person into her arms, which made Duke Zhao a little dissatisfied: "The matter hasn't been found out yet, don't talk nonsense."
"Brother, isn't it obvious? This must be the third sister's child."
The second lady insisted and at the same time looked at Mrs. Zhao Guogong.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong nodded: "It looks a bit similar to me. She and the third sister were almost carved out of the same mold when they were young. Moreover, the jade pendant also belongs to the Zhao family. It was given to the third sister by my father when he was still alive. It is unmistakable."
The jade pendant was handed to Zhao Guogong. He recognized it at a glance and immediately became dumbfounded.
The child in front of me is the third sister's child, so whose child is Concubine Yu?
"You feel friendly to this child as soon as you meet her. Look, there's a mole on the back of her ear that's the same as the third sister's."
The second lady said with an exaggerated expression, holding the little girl's hand affectionately and not letting go, speaking of the poor girl.
Duke Zhao wanted to say something more, but his wife whispered a few words in his ear. Duke Zhao fell silent instantly and his eyes fell on the little girl.
