"Mom, I know you must be angry that I didn't tell you about my pregnancy in advance."
Jiang Shuhua finally told the story. Qi quickly let go of her and looked at her with doubtful eyes, "How could you do such a futile thing? This is the reputation of a girl's family for a lifetime!"
When Jiang Shuhua heard this, she immediately cried bitterly, "Mom, you taught me since I was a child. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?
How could I do such a thing? In fact, I did have an ulterior motive that day. I just made an appointment with His Highness and wanted to express my feelings to him. In the past, I wanted to become the Third Princess. But by then I already knew this was impossible.
I just thought, if I can marry the third prince as a concubine, my mother's life in the palace will be much easier, and the concubine will also be able to enter the imperial palace.
But who knew... who knew that I bumped into the drunken Crown Prince. I didn't even see who it was at the time. I just hurriedly took his jade pendant, thinking it belonged to His Highness the Third Prince, and then... "
She started crying again as she spoke, "Mom, my daughter is not that shameless person. My daughter knows that you and I share the same honor and disgrace. How could I do such a thing?"
When Mrs. Qi heard her words, her heart suddenly felt as if her internal organs had shifted. She could almost imagine her daughter's helpless appearance at that time.
Jiang Shuhua hesitated for a moment and then said: "The situation that day was really confusing for my daughter. I obviously went there with an appointment with the Third Highness, but somehow I turned into His Highness the Crown Prince. .
I only remember the letter I asked a little maid to deliver, and the little maid told me clearly that it had arrived. Later I heard that Xie Songhua seemed to have said something to the third prince at that time..."
"What did you say?!" Mrs. Qi was suddenly startled and even forgot her tears, "What did you say?!"
Jiang Shuhua quickly waved her hands and said: "Mom, don't think too much, there is no evidence for this. I just heard about it. I don't even know what happened or when it happened. I just heard about it. You Don't overthink it.
Now that Xie Songhua is Princess Chen, mother, you must hold back your temper, don’t think about the past, and try to have a good relationship with her, so that you can live a better life in the palace. As for me, the matter is settled and I can’t pursue the past anymore. What’s the point of things like this? In my daughter’s heart, nothing can compare to your peace and joy.”
Ms. Qi shook her head repeatedly, "No, she dared to harm you like this. I will never let her go."
"Mother!" Jiang Shuhua said with a worried look on her face, "I just said this because I was afraid that you would misunderstand that I deliberately concealed it from you. If you become more and more estranged from the future Princess Chen because of this, wouldn't it mean that you are not the same as me?" The purpose is totally different?"
She looked anxious, "Mom! Please, for the sake of your daughter, please don't have any more conflicts with anyone in the house because of me. If you do this, my daughter will not be able to feel at ease even in the East Palace."
Mrs. Qi looked at her daughter, tears falling one after another, "What should I do with you? If you go to a place like that, even if mother wants to help you, she can't do anything."
Speaking of this, Jiang Shuhua smiled and comforted Qi, "Mom, don't worry, my daughter will work hard to live a good life in the future. Even though the current situation is very different from what we mother and daughter had imagined before, my daughter Will not give up easily.
Think about it, now that I have a child in my belly, I am no worse than other women. Besides, I still have the dowry you gave me, and a family background like the Xie family on my back. Even if I am an adopted daughter,
After all, the Xie family is still my mother’s family, not to mention, mother, you secretly gave me so much money before, so my life will not be difficult.”
Mentioning this, Mrs. Qi remembered the dowry and quickly explained everything she had not been able to explain before.
Jiang Shuhua naturally didn't take such an explanation seriously in her heart, but every word she said was considerate and worried about Ms. Qi, which made Ms. Qi feel more and more sorry for her sensibleness.
Finally, he went to the inner room to wrap up a roll of banknotes and brought it out, "Take this, because places like that are the most demanding. It will be much easier if you have money around you. In the past six months, I have not had much energy to take care of things."
Son, I don’t pay much attention to things outside, and I don’t have much money in my hand.
Don’t worry, as long as Mom is here, she won’t ignore you. If you are short of money, just send someone to find Mom, but don’t wrong yourself.”
Jiang Shuhua naturally resisted for a long time, but Qi forcefully pushed her into her arms, "If you are being polite to mother, mother will really be angry."
She reluctantly accepted it, and suddenly said: "Speaking of this, Shu'er really has something to ask of my mother."
As he spoke, he explained his current dilemma of having no one to spare, "In the future, if you can't even trust your own people in the palace, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for more than a few days."
Mrs. Qi then said harshly: "Mr. An, that short-sighted man, is taking advantage of my illness to deliberately tease you! I'll choose some suitable people for you to bring over."
The purpose of Jiang Shuhua's trip had been fully achieved, so she cried carefully twice more before reluctantly leaving the house. Naturally, the Qi family was also reluctant to leave.
When the news reached Shou'an Hall, the old lady was helping Xie Songhua look at the information. For her, Jiang Shuhua's resignation was no different from sending a subordinate out.
"Did you see, this is your wife," the old lady actually smiled, "At first, I was actually attracted to the third girl of the Qi family. Unfortunately, the third girl was a concubine, so I was confused for a moment, but in the end I fell in love with you.
Four girls have been booked.
So this is also fate, this is the first concubine! It’s really not certain, who knew that our family would choose such a daughter-in-law when choosing the first concubine! The three girls are very good, and I don’t know which family does not choose the first concubine.
I married you, and now I really regret it."
Mother Shen on the side smiled and said: "You don't know what will happen next. How can you say this kind of thing accurately? Anyway, the children have grown up now, and they will soon marry your granddaughter-in-law! Please help me this time
Just look at each other."
The old lady is now completely disappointed with Qi, and her unappetizing mother-daughter relationship with Jiang Shuhua has not really affected her mood.
Instead, he smiled and said: "That's it, the eldest man. He is just a wild horse that has escaped from the reins. Although An always has some thoughts, he can still listen to a few words of advice on this. He will inevitably show it to me when the time comes. As for the erlang
...I have told your master a few days ago that this matter cannot be left in the hands of their wives under any circumstances, otherwise it will cause harm to the whole world."
"The old lady is still considerate, you will always enjoy a happy life from now on."
The old lady heard what Mother Shen said, but when her eyes fell on the materials in her hands, she was still a little troubled, "If there is no news from the palace, my heart will not be at peace.
I'm worried that there will be changes in the third girl's marriage."
"How could this happen?"
"You don't know, people outside here don't dare to talk about those things in the past. Instead, they talk about the third girl with the attitude of King Chen," the smile on the old lady's face disappeared as she spoke, and she thought for a moment and said,
"Why don't we just find a name for it, and our family will be lively."
