Her status is second only to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and below the three wives of the Meng family and the Wen family.
And Dongyang Bo belongs to the title of military commander.
He seems to be an uncle, just one level below the marquis, but his actual status is vastly different.
The title of Duke Dongyang itself is also a title passed down from the ancestors. It has gradually declined today, just like the title of Marquis of Nanyang owned by the Shen family in the past. Although Shen Zhijiang inherited the title, he did not have the ability to support the family, and there was no successor.
, the heirs withered, and finally came to an end.
Dongyang Bofu is in a similar situation.
The current Dongyang Bo also has no ability. He is like a transparent person in the court. He has a title but no real power. He is just a false name. Unlike the Zhenbei Houfu, a family that has both a title and real power and has successors.
In comparison, Dongyang Bofu has also reached the edge of decline.
As the saying goes, a wife is as valuable as her husband.
On the other hand, if the husband is incompetent, the wife's status will also be reduced.
Mrs. Dongyang Bo's name sounds nice, but in fact she has long been outranked among the female relatives of military commanders.
Otherwise she wouldn't have flattered Xie Yurui.
A noble lady named Wu sarcastically said: "Mrs. Dongyang Bo is so majestic. How dare you accuse Mrs. Zhang of talking nonsense in front of us? You usually say some unpleasant things in private, right?"
Mrs. Zhang was the noble lady who spoke at the beginning.
Mrs. Dongyang Bo had a stern expression: "No...Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Zhang, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Wu said aggressively.
"I..." Mrs. Dongyang Bo hesitated for a long time before she managed to say something, but her tone had softened a lot, "I just think that you shouldn't say nonsense without any basis. It would be bad if there is a misunderstanding...
....”
Mrs. Zhang sneered: "I just said something, how do you know that this is unfounded? How can you conclude that I am talking nonsense? Don't you know best because you are from Prince Yi's Palace?"
Mrs. Dongyang Bo: "..."
The two noble ladies next to him also joined in: "That's right, Mrs. Zhang is clearly talking about the affairs of Prince Yi's Mansion. There is a concubine of Prince Yi's Mansion here who didn't speak up, but Madam Bo hurriedly stepped forward first."
"I don't know. I thought Madam Uncle was someone from Prince Yi's palace. She was so anxious to be the first person to be the first person, why didn't she even say anything before she saw the real owner?"
Mrs. Dongyang Bo: "..."
She looked extremely embarrassed, her face turned blue and white, and she couldn't help but look at Xie Yurui.
Xie Yurui frowned and said, "Aren't the ladies speaking too harshly? My uncle doesn't have any other intentions."
Mrs. Zhang sneered: "Yes, we also know that she has no other intentions."
Mrs. Wu answered: "She was just being used as a weapon, and the rafters that came out first were the first to die. No one forced her."
It's not like she jumped out to scold him.
Xie Yurui: "..."
She can't argue with four or five people on her own, and it's not her who's scolding her.
She simply put aside the question, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "Then again, Mrs. Zhang is right in what she said. There are some nonsense, Mrs. Zhang should not say nonsense.
good."
Mrs. Zhang chuckled: "How do you know that I am telling nonsense? Is the concubine panicked when she heard that a new member was coming to Prince Yi's palace?"
"What should I be worried about?"
Xie Yurui was angry in her heart, but pretended to be nonchalant on her face: "I believe that the prince is sincere to me. Besides, this is a family matter of Prince Yi's palace. As a concubine, I am loved by the prince. I have been doing my best to take care of the palace over the years. Is there anyone new?
