The day after she reported the incident of the Lotus Picker Girl to Queen Gu was Su Yuwu’s birthday. Mrs. Su specially came to congratulate her in person. Of course, this was just a pretense. For a junior’s eighteenth birthday, there was no need for her aunt to go back to her parents’ home. Yes, the real reason is that last time Su Pingzhan told his descendants to calm down and stop fighting among themselves. After hearing Wei Changying's description, Mrs. Su kept the matter in her heart and planned to take advantage of this time to come back and meet her father in person. Explain it in person to avoid any bad blood between the two parties.
Mrs. Su went back to her parents' home in person, and her daughters-in-law naturally had to accompany them, but it was impossible for them all to go. This time, she left Duanmu to look after the house, and took Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying with her - they were all supposed to go with her anyway. Shen Zangning, because of the incident of deceiving the eleventh prince last time, made Mrs. Su feel that her daughter was not young anymore and it was not a problem for her to have such an out-of-touch temperament, so she locked her in the yard and was not allowed to go out. She made up her mind to grind her down. To temper her temperament.
As for the young masters, Mrs. Su told them to go to the Su Mansion after they got off their errands, and then took the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law out. She had also considered bringing these two daughters-in-law: Wei Changying's direct aunt is the third wife of the Su family, and the third wife of the Su family is likely to become more powerful in the future. Mrs. Su brought her to show sympathy for her daughter-in-law, and to be in harmony with her sister-in-law. Wei Zhengyin expressed his goodwill.
As for the Liu family... Ever since Liu Ruoyu was given the marriage as the quasi-princess, the young lady barely managed to finish the wedding at the Xiangning House, and became depressed after returning to Xinyi Hall. Later, she was scolded by Mrs. Su because of Pei Meiniang's incident, and her mental state gradually deteriorated.
After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law. Mrs. Su taught Mrs. Liu step by step. Over the years, Mrs. Liu has been diligently taking care of the family. Even though she knew that her husband Shen Zangli, as the eldest son, his future was not as good as that of her brother-in-law Shen Zangfeng, she did not care about her because of it. She vented her anger on family matters and never expressed her dissatisfaction in front of others. Now seeing how worried she was about her cousin, Mrs. Su asked her to hand over power to the Chief of Guard Ying. She couldn't help but feel pity for this daughter-in-law. .
Therefore, the second daughter-in-law, Duanmu, was specially asked to take care of the house. Bringing the eldest daughter-in-law to the Su family was also a chance for her to relax.
The Su family didn't do anything grand that day, and no one could see anyone celebrating their birthday when they entered the upper room.
Mrs. Deng was very surprised to see her daughter come back in person: "Why did you come in person?"
"I haven't come back to visit my mother for some time since we said goodbye last time." Mrs. Su didn't want to tell the truth to her mother, so she picked what she liked to hear. "I was thinking about it. Today is Yu Wu's birthday, so I took the opportunity to come back and see my mother .”
Mrs. Deng was indeed very happy after hearing this, but she still said: "You are now the head of a family. It is not good to go to your parents' house for a nephew's birthday and bring all your daughters-in-law back."
Mrs. Su said with a smile: "It's not like mother doesn't know that her daughter no longer has to be the head of her own family. Now that the nephew and daughter-in-law have passed away, there are people in charge of both houses. Even if the daughter doesn't come back, she will rest at home."
"This is also your blessing. All daughters-in-law are virtuous and capable." Mrs. Deng is a generous person. Except when she is angry, she always likes to think the best of others. She has always had a good impression of her daughter, Mrs. Su, and her daughter-in-law. Now, After praising the Shen family’s daughters-in-law, when they saw Ms. Liu and Wei Changying, they couldn’t help but say a few words to them. But the first sentence she said to Ms. Liu made Ms. Liu almost stop laughing, “I heard that Your cousin was given the title of Crown Princess?"
... At this moment, Wei Changying thought of Song Zaishui. Liu's current situation was not much better than when Song Zaishui was at Jingping Gongfu. She smiled reluctantly and said: "Grandma said that."
Fortunately, Mrs. Deng is not as ignorant as Wei Chang'e. She knows that the East Palace is unreliable, and people who really love their daughters will not send their good daughters to it to waste. What's more, Ms. Liu's face is so ugly now. Mrs. Deng knew it well and said with relief: "I also heard that your cousin has a gentle temperament. You are afraid that after she marries into the East Palace, she will not be able to control those girls who have given birth to children. ? It’s just that life goes by like this, not to mention that the empress is wise and will not sit back and let the mean person misbehave. "
Mrs. Liu was relieved after hearing this. At least she was not congratulating her cousin who was about to become the crown princess. After all, there was a crown princess in the Liu family. Yu Qingyuli should ask about it when she saw it. Mrs. Deng's words were also considered I feel very sympathetic to her mood.
He said respectfully: "Grandma is absolutely right." He added, "I have been really worried about this these past few days. Now that I hear what grandma said, I feel calmer."
Mrs. Su smiled and said: "I just saw that you have been worried these past few days. I just want to say that this is a solution. I thought about it and brought you back to see your grandma. People have never been worried about things, and your grandma can't solve it." of."
Mrs. Deng smiled and scolded her: "I'm so old! Why are you still talking about me?"
"My mother is healthy now, so why bother?" Mrs. Su smiled, "My daughter still hopes to come back to welcome her mother from time to time."
Mrs. Deng was about to speak when Mrs. Qian walked in without saying hello. As she crossed the threshold, she said nonchalantly: "Hey, it's really lively here."
"Sister-in-law is here." As soon as she heard Qian's words, she knew that she was not happy. Mrs. Su was heartbroken, but she didn't show any signs of neglect. She hurriedly brought her two daughters-in-law up to greet her. Qian said He waved his hand to tell them not to be polite: "It's not the New Year or the festival, why is my eldest sister back? And she brought your wives with her."
Madam Su was about to speak, but Qian had already answered by herself, "Oh, I remembered, is it Yu Wu's birthday today?" She looked apologetic and said to Madam Su, "Last time it was Yu Liang's birthday. I haven’t seen my eldest sister come back either. I think my eldest sister has never been kind to others... But what happened when I came back today? "
Mrs. Su was a little angry, but it was hard for her to quarrel with her sister-in-law in front of her mother and daughters-in-law. Besides, she came back this time to make it clear to her father, Su Pingzhan, that she had no intention of interfering in her family's affairs. She was not instigated by Shen Xuan to instigate disharmony among her natal brothers. Now if he had a falling out with his sister-in-law before seeing Su Pingzhan, he would not be confident in what he said.
Although Mrs. Su is Su Pingzhan's biological daughter, and her biological mother Mrs. Deng is still there, a woman who married outside the house throws water outside the house. No matter how much Su Pingzhan loves his daughter, he can't get past the family. Mrs. Su knew this very well. In order to avoid causing trouble with her parents' family, she could not bear it anymore and said: "Sister-in-law is right. I came here mainly to see my father and mother."
Qian laughed and said, "What am I saying? Eldest sister is always fair. Besides, Yuliang is two months older than Yuwu. As the saying goes, if elder sister wants to be partial to Yuliang, she should also favor Weiliang." She clearly said that Mrs. Su should prefer Su Yuliang, but when she talked about the order of elders and younger ones, she was talking about the first and third bedrooms.
Mrs. Su said calmly: "It's just a coincidence that the family has just finished Zanghui's wedding. After taking a breath, I wanted to come back and have a look today. Speaking of which, on Yuliang's birthday this year, Feng'er happened to be there. After I got married to Chang Ying, the whole family was very busy inside and outside. Not to mention coming back to congratulate him in person, even the wives couldn't spare the time. If my sister-in-law felt that I was neglecting her, I could only do it. I can leave it to my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Deng is a kind person - this is a nice thing to say. In fact, Mrs. Deng did not react very quickly. It was only now that her daughter-in-law and her daughter had a confrontation. It’s not a crowning ceremony, but it’s worthy of a direct aunt’s fight? Man’er came here specifically to see me and your father. My eldest wife, you are not someone who doesn’t want to see your sister-in-law come back. Why are you talking so much today? "
Although Mrs. Qian was not very afraid of her mother-in-law, she did not dare to disobey Mrs. Deng's words. She quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mom, why can't I see my eldest sister back? I haven't seen my eldest sister for a few days. Look. When I saw my eldest sister, I was so happy that I joked a little with her. I didn’t think I was stupid, but I didn’t make fun of her, which made me and my mother angry.”
Seeing what she said, Mrs. Deng explained Yi and said: "You tell jokes and also say something interesting. Let's talk about brothers Yuliang and Yuwu. They are with you every day. What can they say that is new?"
Mrs. Su didn't want to argue with this sister-in-law, nor was she impatient to deal with her, so she changed the subject and said, "Have you received any letters from my second sister recently?"
So Mrs. Deng began to tell what happened in a letter written by her concubine not long ago. When Mrs. Qian saw this, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes. She wanted to leave but was unwilling to leave, and it was pointless to stay, so she smiled at Mrs. Liu and said: "Auntie hasn't congratulated you yet—your cousin is now the soon-to-be princess!"
Mrs. Liu secretly vomited a mouthful of blood and felt great hatred in her heart, but she could not help but reply: "This is the favor of the Heavenly Family."
"That child is also in trouble. She lost her mother at a young age. Fortunately, she is very lucky. Now she has married into the royal family and has a bright future in the future!" Mrs. Qian kept saying this, and Mrs. Liu felt like she wanted to hear it. Stand up and leave. Why does this aunt just pick and choose what she doesn't want to hear? However, she did not dare to be rude in front of a room full of elders - so while Mrs. Liu was patient, she began to wonder if Mr. Qian was deliberately taking it out on herself because Mrs. Su ignored her
Wei Changying was secretly glad that Song Zaishui had escaped, otherwise he would have been the one pulled by Mr. Qian to say these words. The best sisters were about to jump into the fire pit, and the eldest aunt was still pulling you and saying Okay, I feel extremely frustrated just thinking about it. She was just lucky that Qian and Liu didn't forget Wei Changying even after a few words, and asked Wei Changying again: "I heard that Feng'er took you to Chuncao Lake two days ago?"
"That's what my aunt said." Wei Changying said respectfully and vigilantly.
Qian made a hum and said: "I seem to have met Gu Naizheng? This guy has a bit of a weird personality and is not very lovable, but that's all. He is Yu Li's fiancé and will get married this year. You didn't offend him. Him? Otherwise, it will harm Yu Li!"
... This time it was Wei Changying's turn to vomit blood: She was just thinking about forgetting the terrifying fact that Gu Naizheng would be her cousin-in-law or cousin-in-law, and they might have frequent contacts with her in the future. Why did this eldest aunt just... To be fair, it’s all the things that the juniors don’t like to hear
Fortunately, Qian came a little late, and Wei Changying said a few perfunctory words. Finally, Su Yuwu came back from a mission and came to pay his respects to Mrs. Deng. (To be continued)
