Two days later, Pei Meiniang came over to congratulate her. It was obvious that she was much more haggard than when Bizet came in. However, her eyes were still looking forward to life, and they were bright and bright. It was obvious that she was under a lot of pressure these days, but she had a plan in mind, so she was not confused yet. Square inch.
Song Zaishui only told Wei Chang Ying what he said. At this moment, Huang, He and others were very worried when they saw the master coming to the door. But it cannot be said that she should not be allowed to visit and congratulate her, or that she should not be allowed to see Wei Zhangying. Once the aunts discussed it, they called all the maids to serve in order to avoid any accidents.
In front of everyone, Pei Meiniang couldn't say anything, she just said some high-sounding words of concern and greetings, and presented two more handmade embroidery items. Chief Wei Yingke accepted and thanked her politely. Seeing that Pei Meiniang still had no intention of leaving, knowing what she meant, he expressed concern: "I haven't seen my fourth brother and sister in some days, and the number of my four brothers and sisters has decreased a lot."
When Mrs. Huang and Mr. He heard this, they secretly said something bad, and hurriedly winked at Qin Ge and others, signaling them to protect the guard. Ying said: "This fourth young lady, even if Mrs. Su talks to her, she will be very angry." Even if it was later found out that Duanmu Wuse was the instigator of the crying person, being so disobedient and rude to the husband's elders because of what an outsider said was still arrogant and unreasonable. Now, although Wei Changying cares about her with good intentions, maybe Pei Meiniang will think that this is a deliberate attempt to eliminate her
If Pei Meiniang makes a fuss in Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying is very fragile now and can't help but make trouble.
Fortunately, Pei Meiniang may have become a lot more honest after being publicly reprimanded by her father-in-law and deprived of her housekeeping rights. At this moment, she did not immediately get confused after hearing the words, but sighed softly and said: "It's just that I was young and ignorant, and listened to other people's words, and cast the big one." Wrong. Now that I am still a wife in the Shen family, my husband cares about our relationship and the elders are generous and don’t care about me. Every time I think about the past, I feel deeply regretful and feel uncomfortable. It is inevitable that my complexion will not get better. It’s not that my life is bad. In fact, my eldest sister treats me very well, but the better my eldest sister treats me, the more guilty and uncomfortable I feel.”
When she said this, if it weren't for the clear sky and white sun, Huang and others would really wonder if it was Pei Meiniang who came? Personally speaking, these words are reasonable, but Pei Meiniang, this cunning and overbearing daughter-in-law has been spread throughout the imperial capital. How can she be such a well-spoken person
Wei Changying was not surprised. After all, she had heard from Song Zaishui that Pei Meiniang had planned to become the mistress of the Xiliang Chen family even if she couldn't become the mistress of Xiliang Shen. She would never let herself be degraded because of her family background. To the point of being bullied by the three sisters-in-law above, and possibly being looked down upon by the sister-in-law from a wealthy family below - who knew that the example Pei Meiniang was looking at earlier was the Song family? Duanmu Wuse believed that his natal family had a higher status than his eldest sister-in-law Huo's family, so he caused trouble for his eldest sister-in-law almost every day since he entered the family.
Following the footsteps of the Song family's sister-in-law, Pei Meiniang was inevitably in danger: the Huo family still occupied the position of the eldest sister-in-law of the tomb woman, but because her natal family was not as good as her sister-in-law's, she was despised and scorned by Duanmu Wuse. When she married into the Shen family, she was certainly the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiangning family, but Mrs. Xiangning died young, and her husband was raised by his eldest aunt - if all the sisters-in-law who were born in a wealthy family were like Duanmu Wuse , Duanmu Wuse made the Huo family miserable. Let’s not mention the future sisters-in-law, let’s talk about the three sisters-in-law after her marriage... With three Duanmu Wuse, can she still live
Moreover, Shen Xuan's three legitimate sons and three concubines had six sons, and the status of the third son, Shen Zangfeng, had long been established. There was little hope that Shen Zanghui, whom Pei Meiniang was going to marry, could compete with this cousin. Since there was no hope for the position of Shen's future mistress, Pei Meiniang simply took a different approach and thought about forming an alliance with Wei Changying to fight against the two advanced sects. Sister-in-law’s plan.
Not to mention how desperate this plan is - if you are not careful, Pei Meiniang will end up being divorced and go home. It is rare for the Pei family to be kissed by the boss, how can they tolerate her being divorced? If it comes to that, she will definitely commit suicide at her husband's house and report her sudden death to the outside world.
All in all, since Pei Meiniang can do such a thing, it shows that she is not just a confused person as everyone thinks, but is actually very sober and bold.
In order to gain Wei Changying's trust, Pei Meiniang had already taken the lead, sacrificing herself to help Huo, the eldest lady of the Song family, and Song Zaishui get rid of Duanmu Wuse. Helping the guard chief Ying to seize the power of Duanmu Yanyu in a sensual manner without arousing anyone's suspicion.
The people who planned this were Huo, Song Zaishui, and Pei Meiniang. Wei Changying benefited from doing nothing... Since we want to form an alliance, of course we can't just do nothing all the time. Now is the time for Wei Zhangying to help Pei Meiniang get out of the current predicament. Although Huang and other servants are extremely worried, the two sisters-in-law are tacitly understanding that Song Zaishui has come over to inform Zhang Wei about what happened. Ying, now it’s just a formality.
So Wei Changying persuaded Pei Meiniang logically: "Eldest sister has always been virtuous and kind, and everyone in the emperor knows this. Otherwise, the Su family would not have specifically asked eldest sister to be the first wife of the late eldest brother-in-law. Fourth brother, you Although I was confused before, it was all Duanmu's fault, and he came to instigate disharmony in our family for no reason. Now that we know our past, I think the elders and eldest sisters are also tolerant people and will not continue to remember it. . How can there be so much hatred in this family?”
Pei Meiniang put on an expression of awakening and regret, and wiped away tears: "I know, but the more this happens, the more ashamed I am. To be honest with my third sister-in-law, I don't even dare to see my eldest sister now."
"This is not good." Wei Zhangying said softly, "If you don't see eldest sister, maybe eldest sister will misunderstand that you remember the past! With eldest sister as a person, I will definitely worry about you because of this!"
"Then according to the third sister-in-law, what should I do now?" Pei Meiniang asked humbly.
Guard Chief Ying naturally reminded her to be considerate of Shen Zangzhu and to serve her husband's family with heart and so on... These were ordinary words of instruction that people like them, who came from a noble family, had known by heart since they were young.
However, Pei Meiniang listened particularly carefully, as if it was the first time in her life that she had heard such a high-level argument...
After she left, people like the Huang family didn't know what was going on, so they persuaded Wei Changying: "The young lady is still in the process of preserving the fetus. Doctor Ji has repeatedly warned not to worry about it. The fourth young lady is not a very sensible and gentle person." . What the young lady said to her today is of course the truth, but who knows whether the fourth young lady will hear it in one ear and leave it in the other?"
"Only when you raise a child can you know the kindness of your parents." Wei Changying did not intend to reveal this matter - after all, it was a serious matter. Duanmu Wuse was divorced back to her parents' home instead of dying suddenly at her husband's house. This was a hatred for Jinxiu Duanmu. As deep as the sea, Huang and He were certainly trustworthy, but Song Zaishui thought it was better to be more cautious. The fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be.
So now I will speak in a high-sounding way, "This time I was really scared for this child. Only then did I realize how loving and cautious a mother is to her children! That's why I just saw the four younger siblings coming, I thought that Duanmu Wuse had set up her before she even entered the house, so that a good wedding had made both parties uneasy. Even though things seemed to have passed now, there was a grudge after all, and Duanmu Wu Se had a hand in it. However, the fourth younger brother and sister are also responsible. Now if we want to completely solve the problem, we still have to start first.”
She sighed, "I saw my mother falling ill from sadness because of the fourth brother and sister. I thought that my mother was just angry. Now that I am pregnant, I realize that my mother's anger is secondary to being angry. The most important thing is sadness. In the end, is the fourth brother? My mother raised me personally, and my four younger siblings are my nieces and nephews. If these two people don't understand and misunderstand my mother, my mother will naturally be sad rather than angry. I think if the four younger siblings can repent, they can do something. "It's good to be able to comfort my mother. After all, we are all one family. My mother always treats her fourth brother as her own flesh and blood and always hopes that they will be sensible."
Of course, the servants would not just praise such nice words in Jintong Courtyard, but it reached Madam Su's ears within two days. At the same time, the news is that Pei Meiniang no longer deliberately avoids Shen Zangzhu and stays at home all day long, but instead serves Shen Zangzhu respectfully.
Mrs. Su was very happy after hearing this, and first said to Wei Changying: "After all, this child was protected and protected by Mrs. Song of the Wei family and grew up in a weather-proof environment. Even though he was a little reckless because of his youth, he was almost three months old. She doesn’t even know it! However, the child who grew up carefree still has a pure heart and is the most considerate! No wonder Mrs. Song doted on her. "
Aunt Tao echoed: "Madam, what I'm saying is that the Third Young Madam was in critical condition before, and she was fortunate to have the wonderful hands of Miracle Doctor Ji. Now she is doing her best to preserve the fetus, but she has not forgotten to be considerate of Madam, and she did not hesitate to have a long talk with the Fourth Young Madam. , to persuade the fourth young lady to change her ways... If she were not sincerely filial, she would never be so considerate and meticulous. "
"Of course Chang Ying is a good one." Mrs. Su nodded, and when she mentioned Pei Meiniang again, the look of relief on her face disappeared completely, and she said contemptuously, "It's just that she is young after all, but she fell in love with this Pei family. Damn it! Although the Pei family is from a wealthy family, they also know etiquette. The Pei family hired Zanghui a few years ago. Can the Pei family not bother to teach her etiquette? It’s not Chang Ying’s turn to teach someone who behaves well after being advised, her parents have already taught her to behave well!”
Aunt Tao's thoughts turned around and she pondered: "What do you mean, madam...?"
"Previously, she probably thought that by coaxing Zanghui into obeying her in everything, she would be able to take charge of the Xiangning House! Unexpectedly, although she does not have a direct mother-in-law, it is not convenient for me, an eldest aunt, to take too much care of her, but my father-in-law You're not confused!" Mrs. Su snorted and said, "The second brother took away her stewardship and gave it to Zangzhu. Now she has the title of eldest daughter-in-law but can't interfere with anything in Uncle Xiangning's house. , except Zang Hui, no one treats her well, how can she live such a life? Now, when the news of Chang Ying's pregnancy came out, she took a chance! "
"Madam, are you saying that the Fourth Young Madam is deliberately using the Third Young Madam's teachings to become a concubine?" asked Aunt Tao.
Mrs. Su said: "Otherwise, what else could we do? I'm afraid Mrs. Pei has long wanted to give in, but she also knows that she did things too badly before, so how can it be so easy to change her ways? We all No one would pay attention to her anymore. As a result, Chang Ying was happy this time, so she ran to congratulate her, and took advantage of Chang Ying's persuasion to agree. You can talk about it. If you think she would just talk to Zangzhu, Zangzhu might not be willing to pay attention to her. Even if she was thinking about Zanghui's face, she would definitely be cold and indifferent and wouldn't give her a chance to talk. What Chang Ying said, Zang Zhu would definitely forgive her, Zang Zhu wanted to give Chang Ying face... After all, Chang Ying was not as close as her biological brother, so it was hard not to give her face, and also because she was afraid that Mr. Pei would not get Yuan You and ran to follow Chang Ying. Ying Nao has no choice but to ignore her."
Aunt Tao asked, "What should Madam do?"
"Since I couldn't get her back, it's not good to stay frozen now. After all, she is the second brother's eldest daughter-in-law." Although Mrs. Su was still a little unhappy, she could only sigh and said, "The pearl is hidden for now. The director can do it, but it is impossible for Pei to take over for the rest of his life. Now that Pei finally understands that he should be a low-key child... it is better than her to fight to the end and rely on her children to gain power by then. For my son’s sake, my second brother is going to throw himself into the trap, so let’s leave it at that!”
Aunt Tao said: "My maid feels that although the Fourth Young Madam is taking advantage of the Third Young Madam, she is also fulfilling the Third Young Madam's reputation."
"It's true." Mrs. Su nodded and said, "Chang Ying should also get this title. In terms of her parents' family, Chang Ying is much more favored than Pei's. In terms of the way she behaves as a wife since she married, Chang Ying deserves this title. I don’t know how much better Ying is than the Pei family! After all, the Youzhou Pei family is just a family, and the standard of raising children is not only inferior to that of the Fengzhou Wei family, but it is rumored that Mrs. Song regards Chang Ying as a person. Her eyes seem to be pampered, but she can teach her a granddaughter with impeccable virtues and deeds. She is a well-deserved virtuous woman. Mrs. Min, the mother of Pei, claims to be strict in controlling Pei and her teachings are harsh. You. Look what she has taught you!” (To be continued)
