In the sky, a luxury carriage pulled by a flying spirit beast drove toward Kunwu City and slowly parked on the Yingxian Terrace in the northwest corner of Kunwu City. The Yingxian Terrace usually only receives distinguished guests. After all, only famous families can use the flying spirit beast.
.There was a mother and son in the car. They got out of the car slowly under the care of the soul boy, and walked towards Mrs. Shui and Tang Yue who had been waiting for a long time.
The older woman looked at Mrs. Shui and said, "My cousin looks good. I thought you would be depressed after being hit. I didn't expect you to be calm and unaffected by external difficulties. You are worthy of being a member of my Shui family."
The smiles on Tang Yue and Mrs. Shui's faces dropped by three points. What does this mean? Does it mean that they are not living a good life and should not be so happy?
Mrs. Shui answered: "Thank you for your concern, sister. My life is pretty good and I haven't suffered any blows."
The older woman looked understanding, "Cousin, don't force yourself. I know that my brother-in-law prefers the concubine's wife in the west courtyard, but I didn't expect that he actually loves the concubine's child more. At the critical moment, he ignored Yue'er's life and only saved the concubine.
Girl, you must be heartbroken for your brother-in-law's unkindness."
"What's even more unexpected is that not only did you not enjoy the benefits of the city lord's wife, but you also used your dowry to subsidize your husband's family. However, the people in the city did not think of you well and only remembered Zhuang Qiaohui's virtuous name. My sister only knows about your hardships today.
." Mrs. Shui's cousin had tears in her eyes as she spoke.
The corner of Tang Yue's mouth twitched, why didn't this aunt hide her intention to see a joke when they first met her?
She only found out the day before that one of her aunts was coming to Kunwu City to visit Shui Yingrou, and today she came with her mother to greet her.
This aunt and Shui Yingrou are cousins. Their name is Shui Peishan. Her father is the younger brother of Shui Yingrou's father. Shui Peishan has always been jealous of Shui Yingrou's marriage to a good husband. He is the lord of the city and his cousin.
Once she gets married, she will be the wife of the city lord and will be in charge of a city.
Moreover, Tang Wenhua is a talented person with outstanding talents, much better than the direct disciple of the Ruan family she married. In the past, she liked to use Tang Wenhua's concubines to attack Shui Yingrou to find a sense of balance. She also did not forget to say that she was the only one in her husband's backyard.
I will never dare to have a second woman.
Shui Yingrou didn't like hearing this, and sometimes she couldn't help but quarrel with Shui Peishan, but after all, the two were closely related and had the same spirit, so they tolerated getting along with each other for so many years.
Shui Yingrou didn't know why Shui Peishan came back to Kunwu City today.
Tang Yue stepped forward to greet her: "Auntie, you have worked hard all the way. We have packed the room and are waiting for you to move in."
"Hey, poor child, you must not be having a hard time these days. Not only are you not as good as the concubine sister in everything, but you are also not favored by your father. I heard that you signed up for the Taoism Conference out of anger, presumably because you want to prove that you are no worse than that concubine sister. On the topic
The Dao Conference is not a trivial matter, and applicants cannot withdraw from the competition. If you make a fool of yourself, how will the people of Liuzhou Continent view you?" Shui Peishan looked worried.
Tang Yue was speechless. She felt that her aunt wanted to prove that mother and son lived a miserable life, so she didn't want to answer the conversation and gave her a chance to show off. "Aunt, that's our carriage over there. Flying is not allowed in the city. Let's take the carriage back home."
.”
Then the group went back in the carriage. She interrupted her aunt's regrets many times, and her aunt finally had some objections to her.
She noticed that in her memory she had always been very arrogant, and her cousin, who claimed to be a young lady from an aristocratic family, was silent along the way. What kind of major blow did she suffer?
Tang Wenhua still prepared a small family dinner for Shui Peishan. After all, the Ruan family to which Shui Peishan married had some status in Wuji Mountain and was qualified for the city lord to receive special reception. In addition, she was indeed his wife's cousin.
He has been trying to please Shui Yingrou all day long, so naturally he wants to give face to his wife.
So he took time out of his busy schedule to hold a family dinner for his wife's sister. It can be said that he paid more attention to it.
Shui Peishan received good hospitality, but she was dissatisfied when she saw Shui Yingrou being cared for by Tang Wenhua. She murmured in her heart: Aren't the relationship between cousin and brother-in-law very bad? Why is Tang Wenhua treating Shui Yingrou like this in front of his true love concubine?
As good?
Zhuang Qiaohui was also unhappy inside. Although Tang Wenhua also visited her during this period, he treated the eldest lady much better than before, leaving less time and energy for himself. Could it be that at this age, Tang Wenhua has developed a new love for Shui Yingrou?
Love?
They really misunderstood Tang Wenhua. Only Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue knew in their hearts that he wanted to trick people into continuing to contribute money and effort. Of course, he had to spend some money. Now it was just a pretense.
Zhuang Qiaohui spoke first: "Cousin from the Shui family hasn't been to Kunwu City for a long time. She is such a rare visitor."
Shui Peishan frowned. Although she couldn't see her cousin being proud, she really didn't like concubines and the like. "I came to see if my cousin has been wronged in Kunwu City, so that the people in this city know that the wife of the city lord has
My mother’s family supports me.”
After hearing what she said, Tang Wenhua and Zhuang Qiaohui both frowned. This meant that they were not treating Shui Yingrou well, but both of them felt guilty.
Tang Wenhua smoothed things over, "As for my cousin, Yingrou is very good in Kunwu City. Look at her now with a rosy complexion and full of energy."
Shui Yingrou laughed in her heart. She looked good not because Tang Wenhua was nice to her, "Yes, thanks to my daughter who always misses me and always makes me some elixir meals, which makes me more energetic every day."
"Speaking of the child Tang Yue, I heard that she was seriously injured a year ago. It was my brother-in-law who failed to stop the ferocious beast in time, which caused her to be so seriously injured that she needed to rest for a long time. Brother-in-law, please let me
It's your fault to say this. Tang Yue is the legitimate daughter, and her mother comes from Wuji Mountain, so her status is naturally more noble than those of low origin. How could you be so confused at the critical moment and not save the legitimate daughter?"
Shui Peishan's words successfully embarrassed the people in Kunwu City present. Tang Wenhua preferred concubines in his heart. It was a fact known to everyone in the city, but he did not say it openly. Moreover, Tang Yue
She is also suspected of harming herself instead of harming others. She really doesn't care about anything.
Zhuang Qiaohui and Tang Wan were dissatisfied. Who was the inferior person? The Shui family just relied on the shadow of their ancestors, so it was unreasonable to ignore people like this.
Tang Yue didn't want to dwell on these old things, otherwise today's dinner would be extended. She also wanted to go back and write an article about micro-spirits.
So she took the initiative to speak: "Aunt, thank you for your concern, but the situation was urgent at the time, and my father didn't think so much about it. I can't blame him."
Tang Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tang Yue knew something. "It was indeed my fault at the time. It was my fault that I was unable to save the two children, but I did not mean it."
Shui Peishan didn't let him go, "Only in a hurry can a person's preference be reflected. It can be seen that brother-in-law, you value this humble concubine more. I heard that it was you who supported her, so she found many male disciples."
Are you trying to embarrass Tang Yue?"
Tang Wan couldn't help it anymore. This lady of the Shui family belittled him in every word, and even slandered herself, "Aunt Shui, I didn't find anyone to embarrass sister Tang Yue. I didn't know in advance that these people would conflict with my sister. Otherwise, I didn't know that these people would conflict with my sister.
I will definitely dissuade them."
"So, it is true that Tang Yue was embarrassed in Kunwu City? City Lord, I have to say that this is what you did wrong. How could you let your own daughter-in-law be bullied, and those people still hold a
Concubine, do you usually spoil your concubine and destroy your wife too much?"
Tang Yue was a little confused when she heard the four words "Love your concubine and destroy your wife", as if she had entered a house-fighting novel again.
In fact, although there are monks in the world of immortality who take concubines, they are not many in number. They are just some from famous families, and the wives are generally of high status. In order to give birth to talented offspring, monks with high qualifications will marry each other. The wives of famous families
They don't look down on concubines at all. In their eyes, concubines are the same as slaves, and only in some special circumstances will husbands take concubines.
People in the world of cultivating immortals regard embarking on the path to immortality as their highest goal, and do not put much energy into reproducing offspring. Sometimes they practice dual cultivation, still in order to increase their cultivation.
It is indeed rare for Tang Wenhua to pamper his concubines like this, which is equivalent to having two wives. However, he has always believed that he is the lord of a city and is a prince in the mortal world, so it is appropriate to have two wives.
Considering the above factors, few people mentioned such ancient things as wives and concubines to Tang Wenhua, and he didn't know how to react when he heard such accusations.
Shui Peishan continued to embarrass everyone, "I also heard that for so many years, brother-in-law, you have let your sister use her dowry to subsidize Kunwu City. When she no longer wanted to subsidize, you allowed the monks to make trouble and wanted to empty out her private property.
, by acting like this, where are you putting your first wife?"
Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue, who wanted to change the subject, stopped talking. Aunt Shui was right. They also wanted to hear what Tang Wenhua had to say.
Tang Wenhua blushed a little. It was true that using his wife's dowry didn't sound good, but wasn't he doing it all for Kunwu City? He had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Cousin, I didn't know why you suddenly came to Kunwu City. After all, it's not the New Year's Day, and nothing unexpected happened. I received a letter from Brother Duan from Wuji Mountain this morning, and I found out why you came today.
.”
"Cousin, the most important thing in Brother Duan's life is to cure his daughter, prolong her life, and let her enter the path of immortality like other monks. You really shouldn't let Ruan Ying do such a wrong thing.
"
Hearing his words, the expressions of Ruan Ying, who was silent on the side, and Aunt Shui, who had been condemning her brother-in-law, changed greatly. Elder Duan actually found out about their arrival in Kunwu City so quickly and sent a letter to Kunwu City.
