After Mr. Shangshu returned to the courtyard yesterday, he discussed with his wife what he was going to announce today. After Elder Yin comes back, he can no longer live in another courtyard as his aunt. What his wife means is that he can give Aunt Yin an equal wife.
status. And the madam also plans to give the third young lady the status of a legitimate daughter, so that she can take good care of the third young lady.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Master Shangshu said: "While everyone is here to say hello, I have a few things to say to you. The first thing is that from now on, there will be only one Mrs. Yin in the other courtyard, and I am
The wife I brought back. The second one is about the third girl. From now on, the third girl will live with the madam. The madam and I also changed her name to Siqi."
Xu Ying'er was very surprised. She didn't expect that her father would change her name and let her become his legitimate daughter and continue to live in another courtyard.
Xu Ling'er didn't seem to be satisfied with Master Shangshu's decision. She frowned and said, "Mrs. Yin? Father, isn't it Aunt Yin who is sitting next to you?"
Master Shangshu's face darkened and he said coldly: "Ling'er, I just said that from now on there will be no Aunt Yin in the courtyard, only Mrs. Yin."
"Oh, what my father said is that she is Mrs. Yin. However, the girl next to my eldest sister looks very familiar. The clothes she is wearing are not the clothes of a maid. Could it be that her mother gave her a favor and became her father's aunt?" Xu Ling'er sneered.
He said.
Xu Ling'er's words were not polite, which made You'er feel ashamed and angry. She was indeed a girl next to her sister before, and she didn't care at all when others said that. But she was slapped and sent to the backyard to be her father's aunt. How could she
Don't be angry.
"Xu Ling'er, why are you so mean? You'er is our sister, the biological daughter of Mrs. Yin and her father. My father will announce this matter next. How can you talk nonsense if you don't know?" Xu Yu'er said with a cold face.
He spoke in one step.
"Is she our sister? I have never seen her in Shangshu Mansion?" Xu Ling'er continued.
Xu Ling'er was about to continue saying something, but Aunt Yun interrupted and said: "Ling'er, go apologize to You'er."
Aunt Yun was already frightened by Xu Ling'er's words. It seemed that the master was usually too spoiled to her, otherwise why would he say such harsh words.
"Auntie, Ling'er didn't say anything wrong. Ling'er has never seen her in Shangshu Mansion before." Xu Ling'er still looked aloof.
Master Shangshu slammed his palms on the table and said coldly: "How presumptuous! I think I usually indulge you too much. I didn't expect you to be so willful."
Master Shangshu was really angry. He originally thought that apart from his eldest daughter, this daughter would be the most calm and the one who was most like him. However, he did not expect that after meeting Aunt Yin and You'er, she would not be calm first.
Stop being angry.
"Father, Ling'er doesn't know where he went wrong." Xu Ling'er said coldly.
In fact, Xu Ling'er only had such a big reaction when she saw Aunt Yin and You'er. However, later the Minister mentioned that Xu Ying'er would be raised under his wife's name in the future, which meant that Xu Ying'er was his legitimate daughter from now on.
But what about me? Remember that her father loved her very much and never raised her under his wife's name?
"Kneel down!" Master Shangshu was very disappointed.
Aunt Yun is her biological mother, how could she not know what this daughter is thinking in her heart? At the beginning, this daughter was the most important thing to the master, and this daughter did not disappoint the master. She is the best daughter, and she has Xu Yu'er in her body
There is no ambition in him.
What she despises the most is the third young lady, because the third young lady only thinks about marrying herself to the prince's palace all day long. She doesn't mind even if it is a concubine. But her daughter will not think so. If Xu Ling'er wants to marry the prince
, then she must marry as a royal concubine, otherwise she would not bother to enter the palace gate.
But she knew that her status was too low, she was just a concubine. Therefore, she played the piano and practiced calligraphy with her heart every day, enriching herself every day. Because she believed that her father would find a way to fulfill her.
But what bothered Xu Ling'er was not that Aunt Yin came back with her daughter, but that the third lady Xu Ying'er actually had a higher status than her.
"Ling'er, please don't be rude and admit your mistake to your father quickly." Aunt Yun was worried about whether the matter would end well and hurriedly persuaded her.
"Auntie, has father ever cared about you? Where does he want to put you by doing this now?" Xu Ling'er said angrily.
Aunt Yun lowered her head. She knew that the master never cared about her. But when she saw that the master loved Ling'er, she didn't care about anything else.
But the master's decision this morning surprised her, and he actually raised Xu Ying'er under his wife's name. From this point of view, among the young ladies of similar age, only her Ling'er was a concubine.
Elder Yin sighed. This was the reason why she never wanted to come back. The intrigue in the Gaomen compound had already started on the first day after she came back. She didn't say anything, but she had already made plans for the next step.
Intend.
"Linger, my father gives you one last chance, kneel down." Master Shangshu said coldly.
Xu Ling'er sneered, looked up at Master Shangshu, and said: "Don't father love Ling'er anymore? By the way, why did I forget that my father resigned. Ling'er has no use value anymore, so you plan to
Is it right to abandon us mother and daughter?"
Xu Ling'er's words made Master Shangshu turn red and white. He had indeed planned to take advantage of Xu Ling'er before. Yu'er was not suitable for entering the palace, but Ling'er was different. But he did not expect that Xu Ling'er would actually reveal his original plan in front of everyone.
came out.
"Crack!"
Aunt Yun was worried that Xu Ling'er would anger Master Shangshu, so she slapped Xu Ling'er on the cheek. Xu Ling'er's cheek suddenly became swollen, and she covered her cheek with her hands and looked at Aunt Yun resentfully.
"Auntie, you actually hit me?" After Xu Ling'er said this, she ran out of the front hall.
"You'er, are you still used to staying last night?" Madam worried that the master would be furious, so she quickly interrupted and asked.
"Madam, You'er's stay is not bad." You'er's good mood just now has completely disappeared.
"Mom, Siqi and I should take You'er back first. Anyway, the important things have been announced," Xu Yu'er said.
Xu Yu'er could tell that You'er's expression was not good, so after saying that, she grabbed the third lady and took You'er out of the front hall.
Aunt Yun walked up to Elder Yin and said, "Sister, Ling'er is so ignorant, and she has made You'er feel wronged."
Elder Yin said: "Of course I won't take it to heart if the child is ignorant. However, the second young lady's temperament needs to be changed."
"Sister is right, it's my sister who didn't teach her well," Aunt Yun said.
"Aunt Yun, you'd better go back and see Ling'er first." Madam said with some worry.
Aunt Yun was really worried about Ling'er. After Madam's words, she went to Ling'er's yard.
"Mei'er, I didn't expect Ling'er to say such things." Master Shangshu explained quickly.
"It's okay, ma'am, sir, I'll go back first." Elder Yin also left the front hall.
In an instant, only the couple and Xu Ziming's family of three were left in the front hall.
Xu Ziming didn't speak because he wasn't familiar with Xu Ling'er. Jin'er was held by Su'er all the time. When he wanted to speak, Su'er quickly covered the child's mouth.
"Father, Ling'er is probably acting like this because of the incident with the third girl, right?" Xu Ziming thought for a while and asked.
"That's right, it was me who acted inappropriately. I didn't expect Ling'er's reaction to be so big, which made You'er feel wronged." Master Shangshu said.
"The reason why Ling'er has become like this is because you have spoiled him. If it weren't for your original ambition, how could you have raised Ling'er to be like this." Mrs. Shangshu complained.
Every time she saw Ling'er, Ling'er's face was full of desire. She believed that if Xu Ling'er was really sent to the palace, the ladies in the harem would suffer.
After hearing what his wife said, Master Shangshu naturally regretted it greatly. Because of his own ambition, he had raised his daughter into a woman full of desire.
Xu Ziming sighed without saying anything, and left the front hall with his wife and children.
After Elder Yin returned to the courtyard, he simply packed up a few clothes and planned to leave the courtyard. After returning to the courtyard, You'er complained that he had not had a good rest last night and wanted to have a good sleep. Xu Yu'er had no choice but to go back to the courtyard with the third lady.
When You'er saw Xu Yu'er and the third lady leaving, she came to Elder Yin's yard alone.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw that Elder Yin had already packed a baggage, and she asked hurriedly: "Mother, are you planning to leave the other courtyard?"
"As you can see, it's only been one day since we've been back and things have become so unpleasant. It's better to go back to Yaowang Valley. You'er, mother can't bear to leave you, but she doesn't want to delay your future." Elder Yin said worriedly.
You'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, my daughter has the same idea as you and wants to leave the other courtyard."
You'er, who was originally worried that Elder Yin didn't want to leave, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You'er, why are you here at this time? Didn't Yu'er and Siqi follow you back?" Elder Yin asked in surprise.
"Yes, You'er was worried about her mother after she returned, so she lied to her sisters, and the sisters left first." You'er said.
"Is You'er thinking the same as mother?" Elder Yin said.
"Mother, You'er wants to go back to Yaowang Valley with you." You'er said.
She didn't expect that she would meet the mean-talking Xu Ling'er just after she came back. On normal days, Xu Ling'er probably wouldn't care that she had an extra sister. But what Xu Ling'er didn't expect was that not only did she have an extra sister this morning, but also her usual sister
The third lady whom I despised the most also became the first lady.
Xu Ling'er was very dissatisfied with her father's actions. Seeing that the third lady was being protected, she took it out on You'er who was standing aside.
"You'er, do you really plan to leave with your mother? Although your father has resigned, this courtyard is even more grand than the previous Shangshu Mansion. My mother was worried that you would suffer, so she decided to stay with you.
Capital, but I didn’t expect that you would be wronged on the first day you came back.” Elder Yin said guiltily.
"Mother, how can I blame you? No one thought that the second young lady would suddenly attack." You'er was afraid that Elder Yin would blame himself, so he continued quickly.
Elder Yin admitted that You'er was right. No one thought that the master would announce today that the third young lady would be raised in the name of Madam. This was the trigger that made Xu Ling'er lose control.
