The two daughters-in-law of Sikong Song Yuwang happened to be in sharp contrast in the Taifu Mansion. The eldest daughter-in-law, Huo Shi, was extremely virtuous, while the second daughter-in-law, Duanmu Wuse, was extremely unvirtuous.
This unvirtuous Duanmu Wuse also tricked Pei Meiniang, the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiangning Bo Shen Zhou who had just married, and instigated a virtuous, virtuous, gentle and considerate lady from an aristocratic family who had fallen in love with the wife of the imperial concubine Su Xiuman to become suspicious. Before the marriage was over, she fell ill because of a misunderstanding about her eldest aunt who raised her husband. Ming Peitang was already famous for protecting his children, and Xiangning Bo Shen Zhou was even more famous for protecting his children. Hidden beads smashed the Su family's big house in Qingzhou where the lintels were aligned.
What's more, it's his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who are being cheated now? Jinxiu Duanmu's family status is not higher than that of the Su family in Qingzhou.
Since the Holy Emperor does not like to manage politics, there are not many court meetings in this dynasty. But Duanmu Huang, the father of Duanmu Wuse, was also unfortunate. He happened to serve in the Ministry of War together with Shen Zhou. Shen Zhou did not show respect to his colleagues at all. He relied on the Shen family to pass on martial arts. All men have practiced martial arts since childhood, even if they are a little bit He was still strong despite his age, but he beat Duanmuhuang, who was just a weak scholar, with his fists. It is said that the battle was so fierce that even the boy serving tea from the Ministry of War went into battle to drag the frame. Duanmuhuang was still beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen beyond recognition. He was helped away with a whimper...
As for the Song family, on the day that Mrs. Huo was carried back, she saw her eldest sister-in-law, who had always loved and cared for her like a half-mother, being carried out of the carriage as she was dying. After returning to the room, she still held on through the screen to persuade herself not to blame too much. His wife, Song Zaijiang, who had a gentle temperament and was famous for her good temper among the noble family members, turned around and left silently. She returned to the second room with a livid face, directly wrote a letter of divorce, and sent her to the left and right, who were screaming that she was wronged. Duanmu returned to his parents' home without color.
Early the next morning, because the eldest sister-in-law was sleeping on the bed and the second sister-in-law was sent back, Song Zaishui, the eldest daughter of the Song family who was originally idle in the mansion, had to temporarily take charge of the house. The first thing Song did after he came to Shui Guanjia was to collect all Duanmu's colorless dowry and send it to Duanmu's house one by one.
This time, Duanmu Wuse's parents had no choice but to pamper their daughter, because the incident spread throughout the imperial capital, and some members of Jinxiu Duanmu's own clan couldn't bear to hear or see it, forcing them to clean up their family.
Just like Mrs. Min slapped Pei Meiniang in front of Mrs. Liu and others, she was not the only daughter of Pei Meiniang, and she had to consider the girls of the same clan. In the Duanmu family, Duanmuhuang and his wife are not the only ones who dote on their children. Do the other girls and the Duanmu family no longer want to be human beings
As for the Shen family, Shen Zhou beat Duanmuhuang for his goddaughter's incompetence. However, Pei Meiniang could not be completely blameless. She knelt outside Mrs. Su's upper room for three days and refused to leave no matter how much Mrs. Su persuaded her. She invited herself down to the hall again, and Shen Zanghui, who couldn't bear to leave her, simply knelt down with her...
All in all, Mrs. Su finally forgave her nephew and niece-in-law - this is the Taifu Mansion.
After the couple returned to Uncle Xiangning's Mansion, Shen Zhou didn't bother to listen to his son and daughter-in-law's nagging. He directly had Shen Zanghui pinned down and beat Shen Zanghui thirty times with a stick, until Shen Zanghui's body was covered with scars and bruises. Shen Zangzhu couldn't stop the blood flowing all over his body. In the end, Shen Zangzhu felt sorry for his brother and rushed to stop him. He also sent someone to report the news to the Taifu Mansion. Shen Xuan went there in person to persuade him to stop, and Shen Zhou was sentenced to death.
As for Pei Meiniang's daughter-in-law, although Shen Zhou didn't take action, he still ordered his eldest daughter to continue to preside over the government affairs department with a cold face. As Pei Meiniang said before, Mrs. Su looked down on her family background, Shen Zhou said directly to Shen Zangzhu in public: "Don't think that you can just let go of things in this house after your direct sister-in-law comes. Don't you think about Pei's family background? She is just a daughter of an aristocratic family. She can become my Shen family as soon as she comes." I am the mistress of the house? You look up to her so much! You are my daughter and the eldest daughter. It is natural for you to discipline your younger siblings and their wives. Who dares to disobey? Just come and repay me! Are you afraid that my son, Shen Zhou, won’t get a wife?”
When these words reached the Tutor's Mansion, Mrs. Su couldn't help but shed tears again, but this time she was not sad, but happy and said to Aunt Tao in private: "So I can't help but bear with Pei's second brother's childhood." He always gave in to his husband and was willing to obey him. He even took the initiative to hold back the marriage of his eldest son and refused to let Zanghui marry his daughter! His intentions, no matter how ignorant his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are, I can’t understand them the same way!”
Aunt Tao sighed: "The second master is kind-hearted and friendly to his brother. It's just that the fourth master is really confused this time. He was raised by the madam. Doesn't he still know who the madam is?"
Mrs. Su also felt a pain in her heart. She could not express her sincerity to Shen Zanghui. Although it is said outside that she treats the sons of concubines like Shen Lianshi equally, Mrs. Su herself knows that if the concubine of her husband's concubine calls her mother, it is not like she has no biological son, so how can she completely regard the concubine as her biological son? What about
On the contrary, he was a nephew. Because he was born to her brother-in-law, Mrs. Su was not jealous. In addition, she was grateful to her brother-in-law for his humility and support for her family over the years. When raising Shen Zanghui, Mrs. Su really put all her thought into it, fearing that she would be wronged. This nephew. Shen Zanghui and Shen Zangfeng were only one year apart. Whenever the two cousins had any disputes or objections since they were young, Mrs. Su always favored her nephew.
But the nephew who has grown up loving so much actually married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his mother. Even though Mrs. Su is not her biological mother, thinking about it makes me feel so angry that my heart aches!
After a long pause, Mrs. Su said: "Zanghui is too young. I was afraid that he would be a bad learner, so I kept him from going to the hooking place, and I also didn't allow the pretty maid to seduce him... When I first saw Pei Meiniang, she was quite pretty. , Come to think of it, you will be a coquettish and crazy young man, and you will naturally listen to your sweetheart in everything." These words were the same as Concubine Deng's comment about her nephew Deng Zongqi's secret love for Wei Changying, but the two of them were in a different mood. Are not the same.
Aunt Tao pondered for a moment and said: "The fourth young master is the eldest son of the second master. You can't be fooled by beauty like this." Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't speak, Aunt Tao finished her words, "In my opinion, I ... Isn't it... The Fourth Young Master is also married now, and having some concubines to serve him is also... "
"Forget it!" Mrs. Su hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "My second brother has already beaten Zanghui like that, and then took away the power of the Pei family, and did what she said before. I scolded him back - if I, an elder, still care about me, my husband will think that I have gone too far in bullying my second brother."
Aunt Tao hurriedly said: "My maid understands."
Mrs. Su rubbed her forehead and asked, "What's wrong with Lianshi's predecessor, Duanmu? Why has she been sick in the past two days?"
"After the second young master heard about Duanmu Wuse's deeds, he remembered that the second young lady had often interacted with Duanmu Wuse before, and he also suspected that the second young lady had concealed the incident about Lu Qiao..." Aunt Tao sighed, "The Second Young Master also felt aggrieved, so she took advantage of the Third Young Master... When the Second Young Master got angry, he spoke harshly. The Second Young Master might not be able to bear it anymore and became angry."
Mrs. Su said displeasedly: "A quarrel between husband and wife is not a big deal! As long as it doesn't make it known to everyone, no matter how free I am, I won't call my wife back to fight... It's just that the second bedroom's affairs belong to the second bedroom, Duanmu "What did Sanfang do when he came up?" He asked, "What did she say?"
"The Second Young Madam said that this time she was dragged down by her cousin in the clan, and the Second Young Master couldn't tolerate her anymore. The Third Young Madam had a bad reputation at the time, and the Third Young Master not only insisted on marrying the Third Young Madam, She was even worried that the Third Young Master would lose the respect of the concubine, so she sent away all the pretty maids who had served her for many years. She still had no intention of taking a concubine. The Second Young Master said that she was not virtuous, so she wanted to ask the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master. How virtuous is the Madam compared to her? Please tell me, Second Young Master, so that she can learn from it." Grandma Tao pondered, "The Second Young Madam said that she was also curious about why she and the Third Young Madam met. But it’s so different?”
What Mrs. Su hates to hear the most is people mentioning that Wei Changying lost all her reputation before her marriage - after all, Wei Changying married her most valued son in the clan, and this daughter-in-law is the most shameless when her reputation is discussed. Not Shen Zangfeng
Hearing this, her face darkened, and she said coldly: "She is thinking about things that no one else has mentioned, but she is not willing to forget them? How can Mrs. Wei be more virtuous than her? Let's just talk about the day when Duanmu Xinmiao came to the door. Day, Mrs. Wei is more virtuous than her! I haven't even settled the matter with her yet, but she is still dealing with it? What did she say about being affected by her clan sister? Is the clan sister suspicious of her? Will all the daughters of the Duanmu family be rejected by their husbands this time?"
Mrs. Su said bitterly, "Since she is not in good health now, she should stop taking care of things so as not to get tired. Go and tell her that I sympathize with her inability to go out now and let her leave all her affairs to Wei." stop!"
Aunt Tao said yes, with a slight sigh in her heart: She was sympathetic to Duanmu's inconvenience to go out now - this sounded like she was considerate, but she was very sad. This did not mean that the Duanmu family had such an unworthy woman as Duanmu Wuse. Mrs. Su also thinks that Duanmu Yanyu should not go out these days to avoid embarrassment
... In just a few days, the backyard of Mingpeitang was in a state of flux. Because of the fourth young lady Pei Meiniang, a series of things happened - Mrs. Su fell ill, the two ladies of the Song family were dragged in, and Duanmu Wuse was divorced. , Pei Meiniang barely kept her position as the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiangning Bo Mansion, and Duanmu Yanyu was implicated - in the end, after calculation, the only person who benefited in the end was the Song family's eldest lady Huo, who had tolerated Duanmu Wuse's sister-in-law for a long time, and it was Chief Wei. Win.
Huo also paid the price of enduring for many years and being pushed down in public to this day and is now bedridden. However, Wei Changying was able to gain all the authority previously attributed to Duanmu Yanyu without doing anything.
Even when Aunt Tao came over to inform her that all the household affairs under Duanmu Yanyu's care would be handed over to her from now on, and that Duanmu Yanyu might not return them to her past after she recovers, she said with a hint of complexity: "Mrs. Third Young Master is so lucky!"
However, although Wei Changying greeted her with a smile and entertained her attentively, when Aunt Tao left, there was no trace of joy on her face. She looked at the account books, keys, etc. sent by Aunt Tao in the room to represent Duanmu. Yan Yu's stewardship of the property affairs was just swept away... (To be continued)
