Su Tang had only been to Songhetang once and could only remember the approximate route. He asked a maid halfway through so he didn't go the wrong way.
Seeing Xie Rou, Xie Wei and others approaching from a distance, Su Tang slowed down a bit and met them at the entrance of the courtyard.
Xie Rou glanced at Su Tang up and down, and clenched her teeth. She was just an illegitimate daughter, but she was even more beautiful than Miss Yun Er. The Yun brocade she wore on her made a beautiful person feel jealous, but no matter how beautiful she was,
It's useless, it's not like I'm going to be a widow.
Xie Weifu bowed and said, "Brother, it's true that my sister-in-law just got married and he asked you to come alone to pay your respects to your grandmother."
"He originally wanted to come with me, but I saw that he was weak and refused to let me go," Su Tang said in a gentle tone.
Xie Rou glanced at Xie Wei and said, "You knew that your eldest brother would not accompany her, but you still said that deliberately. Aren't you embarrassing my eldest sister-in-law?"
"No one in the house knows that my eldest brother likes Miss Yun Er. He is unconscious and doesn't know. Otherwise, even if he dies, he will never marry my eldest sister-in-law. When you finish the wedding, you will have a good life."
Su Tang was not angry and laughed.
Xie Rou hates her being like this the most. If she doesn’t say anything, what is there to laugh about in her words?!
Xie Rou gritted her teeth angrily, "Why are you laughing?!"
As expected, Su Tang laughed and said, "I laugh at you for trying to provoke me. I'm very clear in my heart. It doesn't matter if my husband likes Miss Yun Er anymore. It's the emperor's decree that I get married. Even if my husband recovers from his illness in the future."
, if I welcome her again, I can only give her the position of an equal wife at most, and she will never be able to get past me."
forever......
Su Tang bit these two words very tightly.
The effect was very obvious. Xie Rou's face changed instantly. How could she not hear such an obvious taunt?
Her mother had been married to her father for almost twenty years. She was a concubine when she got married. She was an equal wife in name. However, in order to ensure the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, the aristocratic family did not talk about equal wives at all. They just wanted to look good, but it was not impossible.
After crossing the border, even if she has the love of her father, she is still not a legitimate wife and is being suppressed.
Seeing that Xie Rou was so angry that she was about to hit someone, she tried her best to hold it back, "What's wrong with my wife? My mother doesn't despise the position of a head wife. Otherwise, if she wanted it, my father would have given it to her!"
She's a tough talker. Princess Nankang doesn't seem to care about her position as a concubine. She doesn't even believe what she says.
"Really? Yesterday, my father asked your mother to serve me tea. It can be seen that my husband has a high position in my father's heart. A mother is as valuable as her son, and a son is as valuable as her mother. No matter which one, mother and concubine must have a place in my father's heart.
"
Su Tang's tone was calm, but his expression was sarcastic, which deeply hurt Xie Rou's heart. She was so angry that she raised her hand and pushed Su Tang away who was blocking the way.
Su Tang was standing at the door of the courtyard. Xie Rou pushed her towards the door.
Clang.
There was a cracking sound.
Before everyone could react, Banxia's exclamation spread, "The jasper bracelet rewarded by the old lady!"
In the study room.
Xie Boting is reading a book.
Chen Qing appeared in a flash and said, "Sir, the eldest young lady is so smart."
Xie Boting raised his head and glanced at Chen Qing. Yesterday he praised her for being brave, and today he praised her for being smart. He was full of praise.
"What did she do again?" Xie Boting asked casually.
Chen Qing replied, "The eldest mistress and the eldest daughter had a dispute at the gate of Songheyuan. The eldest mistress pushed the eldest daughter violently and broke the jade bracelet. At this time, she was filing a complaint with the old lady, asking the eldest daughter to compensate her.
An identical one."
Xie Boting, "..."
Besides, Su Tang and Banxia picked up the broken jade bracelet and went to complain to the old lady.
Holding the jade bracelet in both hands, with an aggrieved look on his face, "The jade bracelet that the old lady gave me was bright and shiny, and it was worth a lot at first glance. I originally wanted to wear it back home to make my parents feel at ease. I lived in Jingnan Prince's Mansion."
Very good, now it is broken into pieces, because I have failed the old lady's reward."
The old lady's face was ashen, and the two ladies sitting next to her said, "This jade bracelet is not only valuable, it is also the old lady's favorite. It was given to the old lady by the old prince before his death, saying that it was passed down from generation to generation.
"
"You are the eldest mistress of our Jingnan Prince's Palace, so I passed it on to you. However, this bracelet broke into pieces the next day after it came into your hands. This is very unlucky."
It turns out that there is such a great meaning behind this bracelet.
The more valuable the jade bracelet is, the more significant it is, and the heavier the penalty for damaging the jade bracelet.
Thanks to her carefulness, Xie Boting may not be able to memorize these things that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Su Tang pointed at Xie Ju and said, "She pushed me and I broke the jade bracelet."
Xie Rou gritted her teeth angrily and said, "I finally figured it out. You deliberately provoked me at the gate of the courtyard and led me to push you. You broke this jade bracelet a long time ago. You were afraid that grandma would punish you, so you plotted against me!"
She thought it would take a lot of effort to find out who was behind the jade bracelet to plot against her, but she didn't expect to find out who was trying to plot against her so quickly.
Su Tang looked at the old lady, "The eldest lady pushed me, causing the jade bracelet to be hit. She didn't repent, and even accused me of framing her. Please make the decision for me, old lady."
Xie Rou was so angry that she looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, I pushed her, but how could she have the face to say what I did was wrong? If she hadn't pushed Miss Yun Er, she wouldn't have married her eldest brother Chongxi.
Yes, she is plotting against me! Grandma, please make the decision for me!"
The two screamed louder and louder, causing the old lady to have a headache. Princess Nankang, the third wife and the fourth wife came in outside. After hearing this, they said, "Is there something wrong with the jade bracelet? Let's check it and we will know."
She walked to Su Tang personally to check.
Su Tang just held the jade bracelet with both hands. Princess Nankang looked at it for a long time. She calmed down at first and then frowned gradually.
After trying it several times, I couldn't find any trace of bonding on the broken part of the jade bracelet, which had long since been dissolved by the wine.
If there are no traces, it cannot prove that the jade bracelet was broken long ago and that Su Tang deliberately framed her daughter.
Princess Nankang asked, "Why doesn't it look like the jade bracelet that the old lady usually wears?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Tang knew that the meaningful bracelet that the old lady really rewarded her had been replaced by a fake one by Princess Nankang.
Su Tang showed the jade bracelet to the old lady, and the old lady could tell at a glance that it was not the one she gave.
Su Tang said, "How could it not be the case? The jade bracelet that the old lady rewarded was sent to Jingmoxuan. I just took it out and put it on this morning. If it is fake, wouldn't the real jade bracelet be stolen by someone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid came in from outside and said, "Young lady, the carriage sent by Prince Xin's Mansion to take you home has arrived."
Su Tang said to Ban Xia, "The people who came to pick me up from King Xin's Mansion told me that I was busy and might not be able to go back in time today, so they asked them to pick me up tomorrow."
Banxia turned around to leave, but was stopped by the second wife. She looked at Su Tang in surprise, "Aren't you going to come back today?"
Su Tang's eyes dimmed, "I also want to go back, but the old lady gave me such a valuable jade bracelet, but I failed to protect it and lost it. Even if I go back, I will have something in my heart. If I can't stay stable, I still have to go back."
It’s not too late to find the jade bracelet first and then come back.”
After saying that, Su Tang looked at the old lady and said, "I will go back to Jingmoxuan to check the jade bracelet. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will dig out the jade bracelet." This chapter has been completed!
