Duanmu was extremely frightened, but Min was refreshed! There was a clear hint of secret joy in his eyes, but he reprimanded sternly: "You are talking nonsense! The second wife of the Song family is the daughter of Jinxiu Duanmu, and you and your second sister-in-law are both from a distinguished family background! I don’t know how high our family is. The rules of this family are so strict. Why would you say such things to provoke dissension? But your own random thoughts were transferred to the innocent second wife of the Song family!"
These words were a reminder to Pei Meiniang to come up with evidence quickly. Pei Meiniang held her head high and said coldly: "Mother has always been in awe of me and didn't believe my words. But when Duanmu Wuse said these words to me that day, our envoy Not only did the maid tell me, but the eldest lady of the Song family also heard it and stopped her, not wanting her to tell me! You can go ask the eldest lady of the Song family! I guess even if I want to cover up Duanmu, if I ask him directly, there will be no trace at all!"
Things took a turn of events, from the original idea that it was not Pei Meiniang alone, to the fact that she was instigated, deceived and misled by Duanmu Yanyu's cousin Duanmu Wuse - the Liu family and Duanmu family almost wanted to vomit blood, and Wei Chang Ying also I feel like this family matter is getting more and more chaotic - how can the Pei family let go of this opportunity
Mrs. Min burst into tears immediately: "Let me tell you, my daughter is a good daughter. Before she came out of the palace, who would not praise her as gentle and virtuous? Otherwise, given our family background, how could she fall in the eyes of the Taifu's wife?" ? Or marry the nephew who was raised as one of his own flesh and blood! Why did he become so unkind as soon as he came out of the palace? I made all my elders and sisters-in-law angry! The sins committed in the past life have caused this child to be deceived by something! Who would have thought that this child is too honest and deceived!"
He brought out all the words Mrs. Liu had said during the previous argument, and cried for an explanation from Mrs. Liu, "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family. My little daughter is confused and has been instigated by others. She has offended you several times. This is all because of her ignorance." Okay, I will definitely beat her hard to vent your anger! But now that she has not accepted the divorce letter, she is still your sister-in-law! After all, she is disrespectful to you and her elders. She is instigated and thinks that you are right. She has bad intentions, and now she has, but the person who instigated and misled her, please seek justice for my daughter! "
Duanmu was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and she screamed: "It's really... what a nonsense! My cousin is Sikong's daughter-in-law, and she has always been dignified and cautious. How could she say such a thing? The eldest lady of the Song family must be asked to come over for this matter. Tell me clearly! How can I, Mrs. Pei, tolerate the slander of a prostitute like me, Mrs. Min? "Mrs. Min is too impatient. Now you just believe your wife's one-sided words. Why do you just believe it?" Your daughter’s words are trustworthy, but you can’t even hear what others say?”
Mrs. Min quickly made a calculation in her mind: Anyway, her daughter was so arrogant and domineering, everyone was offended, and Duanmu's colorless reputation was also brought out. Now it is of no use to Duanmu's good words and being humble, but it weakens her own family. The momentum seems guilty! It's better to persevere to the end, maybe the eldest lady of the Song family can give me a surprise
Therefore, contrary to the cautious attitude he had been showing since he entered the house today, he lowered his face and said coldly: "What the Second Young Madam said is ridiculous! Our Pei family was not the shameless one who wanted to send our daughter to the Shen family to be a wife. Mrs. Taifu knows best what it is like when she is in her natal family! Who in the imperial capital does not know that the fourth son of the prince is raised by Mrs. Taifu and treated as his own son? Don't you choose carefully and consider it again? Or are you, Madam Second Young Master, just as confused as my daughter, thinking that the Mrs. Tutor's kindness to the Fourth Young Master is just a pretense, and you only want to marry a bad wife so that you can drag him down?"
Duanmu was anxious and was caught by Min. He also mentioned that it was Mrs. Su who took the initiative to hire the Pei family for her nephew. She couldn't help but lost her words. Mrs. Liu said solemnly: "This is a serious matter. Please invite Mrs. Min and a few of them." Madam, please wait here for a moment, we must go in and ask mother for instructions!”
Having said that, Pei Meiniang involved the eldest lady Huo of the Song family and the second lady Duanmu Wuse, and in front of everyone in the Pei family - Mrs. Su had no choice but to give the order whether she believed it or not, or whether she wanted to believe it or not. I went to Song's house and asked the two ladies to come over and explain.
After Mrs. Liu came back, she conveyed Mrs. Su's wishes. At that moment, Mrs. Min said to her daughter: "Duanmu Wuse is the wife of the Song family. You are marrying the Shen family. Why are you listening to her if you are not related to her? Now you are being You have offended your elders and you sisters-in-law. What a stupid thing you did! Since you are confused, why don't you ask your husband's elders and sisters-in-law for advice? , Don’t you think your sister-in-law is also known as a virtuous person? You... you are going to piss me off!"
Duanmu gritted his teeth secretly. She and Liu had a reputation outside the home, but now Min only mentioned Liu but not her, and even said that Duanmu Wuse and Pei Meiniang were "not relatives, not friends", and Duanmu Wuse and Pei Meiniang were not related. Pei Meiniang is indeed not a relative, but isn't Duanmu and Pei Meiniang sisters-in-law? Min's words hinted that Duanmu Wuse was instructed by Duanmu to harm Pei Meiniang - how sinister was this intention
I also knew that as long as the eldest lady of the Song family showed a hint of Duanmu Wuse's words, not only would she be unable to live in her husband's family in the future, but even the Duanmu family would be inseparable!
But Duanmu couldn't say anything for her cousin now - after all, Duanmu didn't know what kind of person Duanmu Wuse was. She really couldn't do such things!
Now that Duanmu is too busy trying to distance himself from this matter, how can he have time to take care of his cousin? He also resented how Duanmu Wuse could be so clueless. Even if he had to say such a thing, why wouldn't even the eldest lady of the Song family avoid it? Can she really think that she is the daughter of the Duanmu family and have nothing to worry about
While Duanmu was pulling on the handkerchief and racking his brains, Pei Meiniang finally started crying and said with choked sobs: "Duanmu Wuse said that our Pei family is a small family. If it weren't for the eldest aunt, she wanted to lend it to her husband. The chance of getting a wife is suppressed by the Xiangning House. How can I qualify to marry her? I think our Pei family is not as good as the Xiliang Shen family, and she is the sister of my husband’s cousin, so... "
"Don't say these things to me. I'll invite the two ladies of the Song family to come over tomorrow and explain things clearly. I'll just hand you over to your in-laws. You deserve to be beaten to death by your in-laws! Who told you to do this? Confused?!" Mrs. Min shed tears and scolded her daughter loudly - but she blocked all the words that Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Duanmu and Mrs. Wei Zhang could still say. She pushed Pei Meiniang's arm and said, "Now you go in first and kowtow to your aunt to apologize! I don't want to think that your aunt raised your husband and treated him as if he were her own, as if he is your biological mother-in-law! How dare you be angry with her! You can't do this today Your aunt’s forgiveness means that even if I die on my knees, I won’t recognize you as my daughter!”
... In the inner room, Mrs. Su's face gradually darkened as she listened to the full story of what happened. When the truth comes out, it won't be too late for me to accept her courtesy. I'm not feeling well today and can't go out to see them. Since we have decided to invite the two ladies from the Song family over tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow."
He also said, "If Mrs. Pei must kneel down and ask two strong women to take her back to Xiangning Bo's house, at any rate, don't let her stay in our house."
Manlou said: "Yes!"
After she retreated, Wei Zhengyin, who was sitting on the embroidery stool beside the couch, frowned and said, "Why do I think this Pei family did this on purpose?"
"Not to mention the daughters of aristocratic families, even in a family like ours, how many girls dare to be so arrogant and domineering and not want to be good?" Mrs. Su said coldly, "It's just that her temperament was not very good on the day of the tea ceremony. I think She is young and has shallow eyes, and she has been favored by Zang Hui ever since she came to the family. She does not know that it is possible to have such a high altitude... I originally thought about how such a nephew-in-law could help Zang Hui in the future, but it turned out that I was wrong, but this is true. He is a thoughtful person, but it’s a pity that all his thoughts are spent on his own family!”
As she spoke, there was a look of hatred between her eyebrows: Originally, after Pei Meiniang came into the family, she was supposed to be a humble girl. Not only because she was the daughter of a noble family, and her family's family background was not as good as that of her husband's family, but also because Shen Zanghui was the daughter of a wealthy family. Mrs. Su, the eldest aunt, raised her on her behalf.
In this way, both the couple are lowered in the Taifu Mansion, not to mention the three cousins-in-law above them, from Mrs. Liu to Wei Changying, all of them are the direct daughters of the family, so one can imagine Pei Meiniang's status!
But now that Pei Meiniang is making such a fuss, she first made everyone in her husband's family hate her, and then they revealed that it was Duanmu Wuse, the second cousin-in-law of her husband's family, Duanmu Yanyu's cousin, who had instigated her before she left the cabinet - although this matter It was impossible to completely exonerate Pei Meiniang in the confirmation, but it gave her previous disobedient and unworthy behavior a reason to be instigated and deceived, and gave her room for detours.
After all, Pei Meiniang is a bride, she is not yet one month old, and her husband dotes on her. How can she not help her and ask her elders to forgive her for being young and ignorant? She is not a daughter-in-law, but a nephew-in-law. What's more, Mrs. Min has already said it: Mrs. Su took the initiative to hire her daughter, not the Pei family who forced her daughter to compete with the Shen family!
Mrs. Su hired Pei Meiniang, and her second daughter-in-law Duanmu's cousin Duanmu Wuse went to instigate Pei Meiniang - Pei Meiniang was also killed!
As long as Pei Meiniang reveals Duanmu Wuse's instigation - just like today, when Mrs. Min scolded her daughter to wake her up, Pei Meiniang then "suddenly woke up" and knelt in Mrs. Su's yard, crying bitterly and begging Mrs. Su to forgive her - Even though Shen Zhou was annoyed with her and insisted that Shen Zanghui divorce her, if Shen Zanghui persisted, how could Mrs. Su continue to argue with a junior
Of course, even if Mrs. Su tolerated her, she would not like her in her heart. But the matter comes back to the relationship between Pei Meiniang and Mrs. Su: she is a nephew-in-law, not a daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Su cannot directly control her.
With such a fuss, the second cousin-in-law, Duanmu, was completely disgraced. It would be nice if she didn't avoid Pei Meiniang in the future. Moreover, Pei Meiniang also bluntly stated her suspicion that Mrs. Su had chosen her as Shen Zanghui's wife: In the future, in order to prove that she was not such a person, Mrs. Su would have to restrain herself and her daughters-in-law not to interfere with Pei Meiniang. !
The problem is that Mrs. Su was originally concerned about the brotherhood between her husband and her brother-in-law, and had no intention of raising Shen Zanghui on her own. After Pei Meiniang came to the house, she continued to interfere with the affairs of the Xiangning residence - her own children. There are many, and there are grandchildren. It is too late to worry about the children under my knees. It is not because I have no choice but to bother to worry too much!
However, Pei Meiniang didn't know or didn't believe that Mrs. Su had raised Shen Zanghui, but she would not take advantage of this favor to control her husband and wife, so she did this, took a risk, and caused trouble in the Taifu family. Later, she didn't dare to say a word about the affairs of Uncle Xiangning's Mansion - leaving it to her, the eldest daughter-in-law of Uncle Xiangning's Mansion, to cover the sky with one hand!
Thinking of Pei Meiniang's willful and ignorant appearance when she came here, and now speculating on her step-by-step calculations since she came here, using her reputation as a good friend to gain complete control of Xiangning Bo Mansion - for this Mrs. Su, who had always been kind and never guarded against her nephew-in-law, felt unspeakably uncomfortable and angry in her heart!
Wei Zhengyin sighed: "If that's the case, then what she said about Duanmu Wuse is probably true."
"Sikong's wife is famous for being jealous and stupid this time." Mrs. Su sneered, "That means she married a good husband. Although he is not as considerate as my Feng'er treats your niece, he is also a generous and open-minded person - It was only after he had tolerated her childlessness, jealousy, and narrow-mindedness all these years that Duanmu Wuse probably didn’t know that she thought she was a perfect match for Song Zaijiang, and looked down upon the eldest sister-in-law who was born in the Yunxia Huo family, thinking that the Huo family was not worthy of her. The matriarch of the Song family should hand over the power of running the family to her - in fact, Huo seems to be forbearing, but over the years, she has publicized her reputation as a jealous wife to everyone in the emperor, and it contrasts with Huo's. You are so virtuous!"
Wei Zhengyin muttered: "The Duanmu family doesn't know how they taught Duanmu Wuse? Her direct cousin Duanmu Wuyou, I heard Yu Wu said, is a bit impatient, and people are not as well. Confused. As for being spoiled by the family, I have never heard of anyone doting on their children more than my mother and sister-in-law. But as you can see, there are no rules that should be followed by the eldest daughter. "Where are you?" He took the opportunity to say something nice for his niece and added, "I just heard from the Song family two days ago that Duanmu Wuse can't even tolerate Song Zaishui, the only eldest daughter of the Song family, because he bullied this sister-in-law. After letting Song Zaijiang know about it, he didn't tolerate her anymore and reprimanded her severely. Later, the Duanmu family came over to make peace, and that was the end of the matter. It seems that this time, your family will not stop the Pei family, and that is the Song family's Xiu. Duanmu is colorless."
Mrs. Su let out a long sigh, leaned against her pocket, and said, "These are all trivial matters now. Let's continue what we just said..." (To be continued)
