After hearing what the Marquis said, the old lady shed tears unconsciously from the corners of her eyes. She loved Cheng Ying'er more than her son, because Ying'er could talk and made her very happy. Ever since something happened to Ying'er's mother,
She left Ying'er in the Hou Mansion. She treated Ying'er as her own daughter and loved this girl very much. When Ying'er reached the age of getting married, she was reluctant to let Ying'er get married, so she thought that if the Marquis liked it, she could
Marry directly, so that even if she gets married, she can still keep Ying'er by her side.
Who knew that her son would like that woman, and he had always been lukewarm towards Ying'er. She knew that forceful melons were not sweet, not to mention she didn't know what Ying'er meant. Just when she was helping Ying'er choose a husband, Ying'er
But she came crying and told her that she heard that her cousin was about to get married. She also said that she had always liked her cousin and wanted to marry her.
When the old lady heard this, she realized that Ying'er had always liked her son, so she wanted her son to cancel the marriage and get married to Ying'er before her son got married.
It's just that the old lady didn't expect that her son would be so stubborn and didn't agree to the old lady's request. In the end, he went his own way and went to the woman's door.
Since marrying that woman, Ying'er has been depressed. The old lady had to help Ying'er choose another husband, but Ying'er said that she would not marry anyone else except her cousin.
Therefore, the old lady forced her son to marry Ying'er as his equal wife when he was newly married.
The events of that year are still vivid in her mind, and nothing she did was worthy of her ancestors, let alone her daughter-in-law.
Ying'er took away her granddaughter willfully. She thought that Ying'er just sent the child to Cheng's house. After Ying'er came back, she kept hesitating, and she realized that something was wrong. She asked someone to go to Cheng's house, and then she found out that Ying'er
Didn't go back to her parents' house at all.
She didn't even dare to think about where Ying'er had sent her child. She knew the odds were stacked against her, and her son and daughter-in-law thought the child had died in infancy, so she didn't mention it.
She concealed the matter for Ying'er, and she has been feeling guilty towards her daughter-in-law. But for Ying'er, she still spoke coldly to her daughter-in-law.
Even though the daughter-in-law finally gave birth to her eldest grandson, there was still no smile on her face.
She didn't know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law, but she favored her vicious-hearted niece. What was it that blinded her in the first place? Why couldn't she see the goodness of her daughter-in-law?
After Ying'er was arrested, she couldn't rest well every day, worrying that Ying'er would suffer in the palace. She was able to see Ying'er today thanks to her son. She didn't expect that the first thing she said after seeing her was to complain about why she didn't come earlier.
They came over to visit her. Since they could not take her away today, they complained about why they had let her be the concubine of the Marquis in the first place. He also said that if it had not been for his insistence, she would have been able to marry into the palace and become the empress of the first palace.
Enjoy the glory and wealth.
After the old lady came back, she reflected on how many people's hearts she had hurt by her actions. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt.
So many things that have happened in the Hou Mansion over the years are all because of Ying'er. If it weren't for his preference for her, how could he have hurt his daughter-in-law's heart?
After hearing what the Marquis said, the old lady slowly turned around and said to the Marquis: "Jing'er, I really don't have the face to see you. Maybe this is retribution."
"Mother, why do you say such things?" asked the Marquis.
"Ever since I left Ying'er in the Hou Mansion, I have always loved her very much. You also know that because of her, I have always been lukewarm towards you. But today she really disappointed me. I didn't expect that she would
She would blame me. She said that if it weren't for my selfishness and wanting to keep her in the Marquis' Mansion, she might have been selected into the palace as a concubine by His Majesty. However, although I was reluctant to let her get married, I knew I couldn't delay her.
I also helped her choose a husband, but she didn't like it. On the day you got engaged, she cried and begged me to marry you. Over the years, I have seen everything she did.
But she kept pretending not to know anything. That night, I watched her take away your daughter. I thought she would be sent to the Cheng family, but I found out the next morning that she had not returned to the Cheng family at all. But, that
At that time, you and your daughter-in-law already thought that the child had died, so I kept silent. It was my fault. How could she hurt the An family's granddaughter like this? My mother knew that she was sorry for her ancestors, and she did it for a foreigner.
He actually hurt the children and grandchildren of the An family. If I have the chance, I will definitely apologize to my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and hope they can forgive me. But I know that even if my granddaughter sees me, she will only call me "Old Madam", not even "Grandma".
She is willing to call her. Of course, I am not qualified to ask her to call her my grandmother. After all, I disowned her first." The old lady said...
"Mother, please don't think too much. Madam won't care about anything. Besides, He'er has been found and our family will never be separated again." The Marquis said.
"My daughter-in-law is a good child. My mother-in-law told me that she used to make some pastries and send them over. I know she won't care about me, and the more she does, the more guilty I feel. After she married into the Hou Mansion, I never gave her any
She has a good face. She is gentle and virtuous, but all I can see is Yinger. Fortunately, God did not treat her badly and gave you a child smoothly. Otherwise, even if I go to the underworld, I will not have the face to face your father.
." said the old lady.
"Mother, don't be too sad. My son did blame you before. My wife is gentle and kind. No matter how you embarrass her, she is still filial to you. After giving birth to He'er, her health has not been very good, and she thinks that the child
She died young and has always been depressed. But what about you? Not only do you not feel sorry for her, but you also make things difficult for her in every way. As for my cousin? Mom, my cousin and I grew up together since childhood, and we have a certain affection for each other. You also know that in those days, His Majesty
When he was still the third prince, my son often went to the palace to practice swordsmanship with his majesty. One time when he sneaked out of the palace with his majesty, he happened to meet his cousin while drinking tea in a teahouse. The cousin knew that he was the third prince, so she found an excuse to get close to him.
He, His Majesty, could see her little thoughts at a glance, so he found an excuse and took me out of the teahouse. When I returned to the Marquis Mansion, I found that the maid next to my cousin was missing. I later learned that because His Majesty was with
The maid said a few words and looked at the maid a few more times, and her cousin pulled out all her nails and sold her to a brothel. So, I secretly went to the brothel to redeem the maid's body and sent her outside the capital. I
I have never seen such a vicious woman. My mother asked me to marry her, how could I agree?" said the Marquis.
"You, why didn't you say anything?" the old lady asked.
"Mother, if I really tell you, are you willing to believe what I say?" The Marquis asked in return.
Yes, the old lady knew that even if the Marquis told her, she would only think that the Marquis was just looking for an excuse not to marry Ying Er. Because of her preference, she always thought that Ying Er was just unruly and willful, and did not expect that she actually
The heart is like a snake and a scorpion.
"You're right. With how much I doted on Ying'er back then, I would just think that you were looking for excuses to deal with me. She was spoiled by me, and that's why she was so unruly. It's all my fault. If I had been stricter with her,
, then there won’t be so many things happening." The old lady said.
"Mother, now that the matter has passed, please don't worry about it anymore." The Marquis advised.
"I thought she might have suffered a lot in Hades' Mansion, but I asked the guards and found out that Princess Hades just kept her under house arrest in the house, and even ate the same three meals a day as their master. What she did was wrong.
There is more than one thing, and I should repent in the palace. But, she disappointed me so much," the old lady said.
"Mother, don't you still have my wife and me? You also have an eldest grandson and a granddaughter. Why do you need to worry about your cousin?" said the Marquis.
"I understand what you mean, but my daughter-in-law and granddaughter may not be able to forgive me. Jin'er is not close to me either. Isn't it all because I treat my daughter-in-law badly?" the old lady said.
"Let's not talk about Jin'er for now. I will discuss the future matters with my wife. What do you think?" said the Marquis.
"As long as she can forgive me, I will do whatever she asks me to do," the old lady said.
"Mom, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Don't think too much, and don't worry about your cousin's affairs. Now your granddaughter will get married after the Chinese New Year, and you will have a grandson-in-law by then." The Marquis said.
.
"Really? It's really good news." The old lady said.
"He'er has just come back. My wife is too busy, so I asked my mother to help me. Do you think it's okay?" said the Marquis.
The Marquis wanted to help his mother find something to do so that she could think about it in her free time. After hearing this, the old lady agreed immediately.
Suddenly thinking about his eldest grandson, he said, "Jin'er is not young anymore. I wonder if he has someone he likes?"
"We don't have to worry about Jin'er, he has his own plans," said the Marquis.
"I feel relieved when I hear you say that. I will leave the rest to you," the old lady said.
Before leaving, the Marquis told his mother to have a good rest and to eat on time.
After the Marquis left the old lady's yard, he returned to the main courtyard. Seeing that the Marquis was back, the lady helped him pour a cup of tea and brought it over. The madam knew that the Marquis had accompanied the old lady to the Hades Mansion.
She came back, but the master was nowhere to be seen. She asked the housekeeper, and then she found out that the Marquis went to the old lady's yard after he came back.
I heard that the old lady's face had been looking bad since she came back, as if she was angry.
"Sir, what happened to mother?" the lady asked.
"Have you heard?" asked the Marquis.
"I heard that you and your mother came back a long time ago. When you went to the study, you happened to be away. The housekeeper said that you went to the old lady's yard again. I heard that she seemed to be angry? Could it be that there was trouble in Hades Mansion again?" Madam
Said worriedly.
"My mother was so angry with my cousin that she lay down on the sofa as soon as she came back. My grandma came over and called me over, and I heard my mother shedding tears," said the Marquis.
"What's going on? Is it because Aunt Cheng is having a hard time in Hades' Mansion?" the lady asked.
"Of course it's not that my cousin was under house arrest, but she was given the same meals as Pluto and his wife, and they didn't treat her harshly at all. It was because she broke her mother's heart, that's why her mother was so sad," said the Marquis.
The lady was a little surprised and asked hurriedly: "What did my cousin say that made my mother so sad?"
"More than ten years have passed, and my cousin is still so ignorant. My mother spent all her time thinking about her, and even made sarcastic remarks to you and He'er. In the end, my cousin complained. Do you think my mother feels better?
