When Mrs. Huang heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "My maid just heard the young lady teasing Zhu Lan and thought of it. It has nothing to do with Sister He. Sister He cares about the young lady wholeheartedly. I'm afraid she has nothing to do with her." I’ve thought about this. Even if the young lady takes pity on her, I’m afraid it will take a long time to persuade her!”
Wei Changying said in a deep voice: "I agree with this, but what Aunt He said makes sense. Aunt He has been with me for so many years and has never paid attention to anyone. Now that I want her to remarry, I'm afraid Aunt He will hesitate. . I think Aunt He is very obedient to what Aunt He says, so why not ask Aunt He to help me persuade her? After all, I can make the decision on my own now... As long as Aunt He is good, I can do it. I will do it for her."
At that moment, the two of them discussed what kind of person to choose for Mrs. He if she was willing to remarry - because at Mrs. He's age, she was already at the level of an aunt, and she was the wife of Wei Changying. Wet nurses, those whose status is too low are not suitable for marriage, and those whose status is higher are not enough.
Wei Changying pondered: "If you are looking for someone in your own home, then you must at least be in charge."
"Most of the people who are in charge have already married, and even if there are widowers, they probably have children." Huang said, "It's difficult for stepmothers... Don't look at Miss Liu Shi's stepmother, Mrs. Zhang, who doesn't treat her well. She held her husband tightly in her hands. This was because Miss Liu Shi had no brothers. The stepmother was gifted and smart after giving birth to her father's only legitimate son! , for example, Miss Duanmuba... I don’t know who will win!”
Hearing Duanmu Xinmiao, Wei Changying said with a wry smile: "That's the disciple of Divine Doctor Ji. Who dares to offend Divine Doctor Ji? Are you just worried about Laihe and don't want to live anymore?"
Huang said with a smile: "Youlaihe is not the only medicine in this world, not to mention the poison depends on who uses it. The young lady also saw it last time, and both the eldest young lady and Miss Liu Shi are no strangers to Youlaihe." , it can be seen that she usually doesn't listen to less and has less contact, but Miss Liu Shi was bullied like that in her parents' family. Why can't she hold a grudge and take revenge? She only wants to marry an honest man and live behind closed doors when she is old
"A person like Mr. Zhang may not necessarily bully the weak and fear the strong, but it is useless to give in in front of her. According to the servant girl, it is better to fight to the death! Miss Liu Shi has nothing to do with her. The Zhang family has a son and a daughter, and they are all Younger than Miss Liu Shi... Ah, that's a long way to go - the maid is saying that Sister He is impatient and may not be able to get along well with her stepson and stepdaughter. It is better to choose someone who is empty at the knees so that the two of them can be on the same page in the future. Plan for your children.”
Wei Changying knew what she meant. He seemed to be powerful, and she was very resolute in managing her servants. All the maids up and down were not afraid of her - but her power was all on the surface, and it was clear at a glance that she was not easy to mess with. It would be fine if she became someone's stepmother as soon as she got married and met an honest and cowardly stepdaughter like Miss Liu Shi. But if she met a cunning one and tried to impress her on others, she would definitely suffer a loss.
And what Huang said is very reasonable. Children are different from their mothers. If the father is biased, gaps will inevitably exist. Now the two of them are discussing to persuade Mr. He to remarry. In the final analysis, they want her to be well, so that she can enjoy the happiness of a family with children around her knees in her later years, instead of being troubled by family affairs.
So Wei Changying said: "I'm afraid it's hard to find such people, but we have a lot of managers. We don't have them among our people. The imperial capital is so big. You can also look at the common people outside. As long as you are honest and loyal, you will be loved. If you don’t have any children, you’re just a bit poorer. Once they get married, you can just arrange a decent job for them.”
After talking about the He family, Wei Changying became concerned about the arrangement of the big house again, "My eldest sister-in-law has really good intentions for Miss Liu Shi. This time she is plotting against Miss Liu Shiyi. If someone finds out, eldest sister-in-law can That’s it… I don’t know if Miss Liu Shi can marry into the East Palace safely?”
When their master and servant guessed this, Mrs. Liu dismissed everyone in the big room and told Liu Ruoyu alone: "... Ruoye loves Yaoye. If she comes, she will definitely try to invite Wei Changying to come over and see her. It looks good. See what kind of woman Yaoye is marrying despite his parents' insistence, so I will arrange a small banquet that day, and you should pay attention. As soon as Wei Zhangying comes, you will pretend to be unwell and leave. "
Liu Ruoyu asked in confusion: "Why? I want to see that little bitch with my own eyes..." Originally, she was used to being bullied by her stepmother and had a weak temperament. Although she envied this half-sister who was deeply loved by her stepmother, she had no idea. Jealousy. But now that he knew that his stepmother had such vicious thoughts towards him, he felt frightened and awe-inspiring, and naturally became angry towards his sister and brother, and he had no good words to say about Liu Ruoye.
Mrs. Liu sneered and said, "Since Ms. Zhang is using worries to harm you, how can her daughter not be careful about this medicine?"
"Then how will Seventh Sister start?" Liu Ruoyu was startled.
"When Ruoye comes, I will have a good talk with her about Yaoye's love for Wei Zhangying." There was a strange look in Mrs. Liu's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "Ruoye has always been arrogant. Before, She fell in love with Yao Ye, but she didn't want Yao Ye to get engaged when he was young... Later, she pestered Mrs. Zhang, and on the pretext of thinking about the future of her twenty-third brother, she persuaded her fifth uncle to arrange for the Fengzhou people to stop the former Situ Wei. Qi's sedan chair filed a complaint, slandering Wei Changying and causing uproar in the city... She originally thought that she could replace Wei Changying and get her wish, but she didn't expect Yao Ye's ambition to abandon Wei Changying. Instead, he pityed his fiancée even more and even stole his father's sword and chased her to Fengzhou... "
Speaking of this, Ms. Liu sneered and said, "Speaking of it, Ruoye's move actually helped Wei Changying a lot, but Wei Changying probably didn't know it until now - after her husband tied his hair, his mother gave him Several pretty maids were arranged to serve, and the two maids named Asakusa and Asaka who were beside Yaoye were not ordinary flowers! According to common sense, Wei Zhangying would officially close the room after he passed the door. Wei Changying's reputation was damaged, and Yaoye was worried that after she came, Asakusa and the others would think that it was a gift from their mother, and underestimated Wei Changying, and gave them away as soon as they came back from Fengzhou last year! The few maids who grew up in Yaoye, as long as they were of some color, were either sent out to be paired with others or given away, so as to prevent the chief guard Ying from passing through and making it difficult for his mistress... Otherwise, how could there be only Tuanyue and Xin left in Jintong courtyard now? Yue, these two former rough and ugly maids?”
Liu Ruoyu's eyes showed envy: "Sister Wei is so lucky."
Mrs. Liu sighed and said: "Although she married a good husband and Yaoye protected her everywhere, but she is not full moon yet and she doesn't go outside... In the future, Yaoye will not be able to accompany her all the time to help her." ." At this point, he took the opportunity to teach his sister, "It will be the same after you leave the cabinet. I am eager to help you with all my heart, but that's all I can do! In the end, you still have to make your own decisions! Otherwise, if you continue to do this, you won't be able to bear it... Even if the people around you are capable, but they are always tied up without you speaking up, how much can they do? "
Liu Ruoyu's eyes turned red: "I know, it was all my fault in the past. Every time Seventh Sister tried to persuade me, I always thought that Mrs. Zhang was my father's wife after all. She didn't like me, so I... I just had to endure it. At least I won’t have any contact with my mother-in-law after I leave the palace, but I don’t want her to let me go even if I’m so patient! Why should I tolerate it anymore?”
"That's exactly the truth!" Mrs. Liu looked at the enlightened clan girl. She really didn't know if she was crying with joy or sad because she realized it was a little late. Marrying to the East Palace, why not start from the fire pit of the Liu family? Entered the fire pit in the East Palace
After pressing the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief, she said, "On the day of rest, I will personally tell her everything that Ruoye has done for Wei Zhangying. How can I bear it with Ruoye's temperament?"
Liu Ruoyu bit her lip and said: "Although she is arrogant, her father has always praised her for her intelligence... she will not cause trouble for Sister Wei in the Shen family? Especially... Mr. Shen is still so protective of Sister Wei!"
"Silly child, of course she won't openly have trouble with your sister Wei." Mrs. Liu stretched out her finger and tapped her forehead, saying lovingly, "Have you forgotten how you suffered a big loss? If it weren't for Aunt Huang , I’m afraid we still think that you are too brooding and are getting weak day by day!”
Liu Ruoyu heard what she meant and was shocked: "How come Ruoye actually... dared to use You Laihe on Sister Wei?"
"Why don't you dare?" There was a sneer on Mrs. Liu's lips, "We don't know that Doctor Ji can solve Youlaihe, right? Mrs. Zhang gave you Youlaihe, isn't it just because you are sure that you won't be able to solve it even if you find it? Now you I have received the news about Doctor Ji's treatment, but I have kept it secret so that no one can spread it! Ruoye's plan to win the battle with Chief Wei was a big help to her love rival. She was pampered by the Zhang family and was most conceited. It was already very difficult for her to marry her third brother. She’s not happy. How can she bear it if we tell her face to face that it’s a waste of money?”
Mrs. Liu said coldly, "She can't bear it, so she will naturally take out her anger on Wei Changying - Oh, I just sent someone to deliver something to Mr. Zhang yesterday, and sure enough, the person who delivered the thing was caught by Ruo on the way." Ye's attendant stopped him, pulled him aside, gave him two taels of silver, and asked Yaoye in a subtle way how he treated Wei Zhangying... Maybe, she would have been prepared when she came!"
Liu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and said: "Then... why should I avoid it?"
"We wanted to take this opportunity to bring you Laihe to Ruoye, so we told Madam Huang." Madam Liu said in a low voice, "So as soon as you leave, Master Ying, the chief servant who was invited, will naturally think that we are going to I have made a move on Ruoye, or I have already made a move on you, to let you leave on purpose to avoid suspicion!"
"Isn't it?" Liu Ruoyu asked in surprise.
Mrs. Liu sighed: "I told you, Madam Zhang used You Laihe on you, how could her daughter not be protected from being harmed by someone else using the same medicine? This medicine is rare, and our family is not surprised. ! We don’t know anything about medical science. How confident are we that we can poison her without telling Ruoye? It’s only you who keeps trying to cause trouble for her! Stepmother, even if the imperial edict is issued and you don’t leave the cabinet, you will still be held in her hands!”
Liu Ruoyu subconsciously said: "Aunt Huang understands medical science..."
"Huang understands medical science, but she won't take action for you!"
Liu Ruoyu's eyes showed disappointment, and just as she was about to say something, Liu said coldly, "But if it's for Wei Changying, Huang will definitely take action!"
She looked at Liu Ruoyu, "Why did I say that a small banquet would be prepared that day? Only in this way can Ruoye have the opportunity to toast to Wei Changying... No matter whether she tampered with the wine or not, the cup that was handed to Wei Changying was anyway The wine will never be clean!"
Liu Ruoyu was shocked and said: "Seventh sister! Sister Wei asked Aunt Huang to save me!"
"You are still so kind and soft-hearted! How can I rest assured that you will enter the palace?" Madam Liu sighed and said, "Listen to me - I am not trying to harm Wei Changying, we are not even sure of harming Ruoye, let alone What's more, there is Wei Changying who is following closely every step of the way. She just wants Wei Changying and Huang to think that Ruoye is so brave. Not to mention her husband, who covets Wei Changying, he actually dares to attack Wei Changying when they meet for the first time. Take action!"
"Although Madam Huang is not recognized by Divine Doctor Ji, she is actually regarded as half of her disciples! So even if Wei Changying drinks that wine by mistake, Madam Huang can just turn around and fix it for her!" Madam Liu snorted, "But Mrs. Huang will see her master suffer this loss? She, a person who understands medical science and relies on Divine Doctor Ji, wants to harm Ruoye. As long as we invite more Ruoye to come to the house and give her some opportunities, a hundred Ruoye It’s not enough to die—the people who arrested and forced Ji Ying’s family before are just an example!”
"It's not just the Huang family, but also Yao Ye... You don't know, my brother-in-law looks kind and generous, but in fact he is only towards his own people. He sees the inside and outside very clearly! When he insisted on marrying Wei Zhangying, It was because Guard Chief Ying had been given to him as his wife since he was a baby, and he had long regarded him as one of his own. He was very tolerant of his own people, and would rather be laughed at by everyone than do anything to add insult to injury to outsiders... Hehe! He is the next head of the Shen family who has high hopes. How can he control his subordinates without any thunderous skills, especially since Wei Changying has already passed the door and dares to put his hands on his wife? My brother, who is so dissatisfied with me, never said a bad word about Wei Changying from beginning to end?"
Mrs. Liu said coldly, "After having a grudge against the third wife, how can Madam Zhang find the time to pay attention to you? She is too busy protecting her precious children! In this way, you can leave the cabinet with peace of mind, but... after leaving the cabinet, Mrs. Liu said coldly. , in the end you still have to strengthen yourself! After all, there are many concubines in the East Palace, even if there is no natal family to hold you back, those who have given birth to concubine grandsons are enough for you to deal with... "
Listening to the clan sister's earnest instructions, Liu Ruoyu's eyes sore and she almost shed tears... (To be continued)
