The fact that Qiao Yuning went out to Yuehua Temple every day to pray for blessings soon fell into the ears of the Wen family.
Mrs. Wen has been getting angry these past two days. After the incident at Daxiangguo Temple last time, the old lady's dissatisfaction with their mother and son was almost written on her face.
Although there is no punishment on the surface, the embarrassment behind the scenes is really fatal.
On weekdays, he would either find fault with something he didn't do well, or he would interfere with the maid's work in front of her.
My master also stayed in various aunts' houses every day and never came to her place.
She wanted to vent her anger on her unfulfilled son, but firstly, seeing that autumn was coming in a few days, she was afraid of affecting her son's mood too much. Secondly, she didn't know how the child was attracted by that vixen.
I was so fascinated that I came home for so many days and only said that I wanted to marry Qiao Yuning.
She really couldn't figure it out. Instead of Qiao Yuyan, who was a legitimate daughter and had better looks and actions, she wanted that petty concubine girl?
The son she gave birth to could be so blind!
If she really marries a concubine, she will never go out again. She will probably be laughed to death when she goes out.
Not only outsiders, but also those sisters-in-law were afraid that they would laugh their teeth out behind her back.
There was no way to solve the problem. On a hot day, Mrs. Wen felt so sick that her heart ached, and there were two blisters on her mouth.
That day, I was lying on the couch and sighing. Suddenly I heard the mother-in-law in front of me talking about this matter, and I immediately became confused.
"Their girl committed such a serious crime, and the Qiao family actually picked her up high and put it down gently? Their old lady was so angry that day, I just thought she would be severely punished!"
The woman then told Mrs. Wen everything she had learned.
Mrs. Wen's face was full of disbelief, "Is this Mrs. Qiao crazy? Such a shameless concubine snatches the marriage of her own daughter-in-law, and she still comes to plead for mercy? This is a bit ridiculous.
Is this the Qiao family’s family tradition? It’s a century-old family!”
"After all, this eldest girl did not grow up here. I have also heard that in our Qiao family's house, the second girl is more favored than the eldest girl. Usually when two girls are here, the ones who roll around in mother's arms and act coquettishly are the ones who do it.
Where is the second girl!"
The woman had always been an inquisitive person, so she lowered her voice and said, "Madam, I don't know that the eldest wife of the Qiao family and Uncle Zhongyong were privately engaged for life. Otherwise, given their family background, why would they have married each other?"
Where is the daughter of a merchant? Although the Qiao family is in decline, it is not like this. What's more, although the old man of the Qiao family was not high in official rank, he was very popular. It would not be too difficult to choose a well-matched daughter-in-law among those family friends.
Difficult. But back then, Uncle Zhongyong was determined to marry his current wife. The Qiao family had no choice but to agree. Perhaps because of this, the two girls grew up in front of their wife, so they
…”
She did not continue the rest of the words, and Mrs. Wen understood the meaning.
This means that Qiao Yuning did such a thing because of Xu's influence.
She curled her lips and said, "Although this is the case, after all, she has done these unflattering things, and brother Qi Liang has been stigmatized for her sake, and has made the old lady and the master unhappy."
"This slave has a bad idea. Madam, would you like to hear it?"
"You've said so much, why do I still care to hear a few more words from you?" Mrs. Wen said to her angrily.
"Looking at it like this, Mrs. Qiao's family really cares about the second girl. I'm afraid in her eyes, there is no difference between a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law. She will have to look back when the second girl comes out of the palace.
If her name is remembered, isn't she considered a legitimate daughter? Now the fourth brother is thinking about the second girl. As long as the old lady and the master can marry a girl from their Qiao family, they can repair their relationship with their Qiao family.
That’s fine, it doesn’t actually matter which one you marry.”
Mrs. Wen stood up in awe and asked, "Do you mean to let Brother Liang marry that Qiao Yuning?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately waved her hands and walked down to the ground, "How can this be done? Is that Qiao Yuning worthy of my son? You haven't seen her slutty look."
After finishing speaking, he continued to scold: "And that delicate and frail look is obviously just for show for men. With a heart like a fox, how can you be the wife of my good brother?"
"I also have close contact with the girl from the Yao family. That day I clearly saw the two of them talking affectionately together. The third girl in their family is the real cousin of the Yao family. They didn't even get close to each other. It shows that their relationship is average.
How can she be so good if she can associate with that vicious person from the Yao family?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and his dissatisfaction with Qiao Yuning became more and more.
The mother-in-law waited quietly until her wife was done venting, and then she said, "This second girl from the Qiao family is not good at all, but there is always something good about her."
"What?"
"It's easy to handle."
The mother-in-law is the old man in front of her, and when thinking about problems many times, she will naturally think about it from her perspective, "She was born as a concubine, and she has had such unbearable things happen to us in the past. If it really happens,
It’s not easy to control her when she gets married? And the Xu family’s wife loves her so much, so the dowry will naturally not be less when she gets married in the future. Who doesn’t know how rich the Xu family is? And the eldest girl is now in charge of the house, what can she do?
If she wants to steal her sister's marriage, why would she let her get involved in housework? After that, she will naturally not be able to take care of the property in her hands."
These two points have really touched Mrs. Wen's heart. Now she is in charge of the whole house. If others don't know what's going on inside, how can she know? She knows very well how many shortcomings there are.
"only……"
She just had to put her beloved son's marriage as a condition, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
"Let's marry someone first. When someone comes in, it's not you, madam, who has the final say on what happens next. When the time comes, you can find some reasons to marry a noble concubine. Whoever dares to say anything against it will be the old lady and
The master also wants to give you compensation and nod, such as our cousin, when the time comes, will the old lady be able to object? "
These last words made Mrs. Wen silent for a long time. She walked back and forth twice, and finally sat down on the Taishi chair. She closed her eyes and thought for a while before asking: "But now things are like this.
, can the old lady agree?"
When she asked this question, it meant that she had figured it out and was beginning to be willing to form such a family relationship.
The mother-in-law said quickly: "This marriage is between the old lady and the master, not you, madam? Now that you have made concessions, how are you going to make it happen? Isn't that their business?"
Mrs. Wen didn't say anything when she heard this. She just looked at a pair of newly made Shu brocade raised-toe shoes in front of her. She couldn't stand the behavior of the fox in the backyard these past two days and had him drive out within one day.
When the mother-in-law saw this, she stopped talking and left her to think about it. This chapter has been completed!
