Mrs. Tian arrived home worriedly. Tian Chengzhong had been waiting at home for a long time. When he saw her coming back, he drank a sip of wine and asked her, "How is Xiaoxun? Is he okay?"
For some reason, Tian Chengzhong's behavior has become more and more outrageous in recent years. Madam Tian couldn't stand his behavior. She frowned and walked past him into the inner room and sat down in front of the dressing table. While taking off her earrings, she asked in a deep voice: "Why, as a father, you finally remembered your daughter? Do you think she is okay? The wound is so big that you can see the bones. You are determined to send your daughter to the palace and send her to a high position, but it is not easy to stay there? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will blame you in the future!"
The daughters were brainwashed by their father and had been dreaming unrealistic dreams all day long. However, none of them were willing to be down-to-earth. Mrs. Tian's worries grew day by day, and she became more and more annoyed with Tian Chengzhong.
Tian Chengzhong was getting impatient, and he glared at her and started scolding her: "I was asking you a question, but you're sick, you're scolding me for no reason! I'm asking you, how is your daughter?!"
No one knew when he would make a mistake. Madam Tian endured it again and again, frowned and said unhappily: "She hurt her elbow. When I entered the palace, her hand was still tightly wrapped, which shows that the injury was serious. I don't know what will happen to her in the future."
Compared to Mrs. Tian's worries, Tian Chengzhong was much happier. He felt that women were like this, always hesitant and unpredictable.
"You know shit!" Tian Chengzhong has never been very capable in major matters. He has always been suppressed and unable to raise his head, nor has he been given important positions. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Tian still valued her natal family and granted him the title of Duke Cheng'en, he wouldn't even have his current title. Therefore, he has always been arrogant and has the final say at home.
After scolding her, he finally calmed down and stopped talking, so he snorted, "You unvirtuous and stupid woman! You don't want your daughter to marry up? Do you want your daughter to marry those playboys or those poor scholars? You're talking about marrying up, as if poor scholars must be more cunning. Aren't there many poor scholars who abandon their wives after becoming rich?"
It’s better to grab the wealth and glory from the beginning!
Mrs. Tian clenched the earrings tightly in her hands and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Tian Chengzhong scolded her for a while, and then urged her again: "Since Xiaoxun was injured for the Queen Mother, does that mean the Queen Mother has no reaction? The Queen Mother has always been very good to Xiaoxun!"
After the incident with Princess Jingming, Tian Chengzhong also realized that Empress Dowager Tian had changed her mind, and he became very anxious.
He doesn't have any special skills and has tried every trick over the years. However, he is not good at leading troops in battle, and he can't bear the hardship of guarding the border. Seeing that his family has become an empty shell over the years and is getting worse day by day, isn't he anxious
The reason why he had been indulging Tian Rui before was simply because he hoped that Tian Rui could really get close to King Zhuang.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and her husband is not long-lasting, let alone how many layers of relatives are there between them? Empress Dowager Tian is getting old, who knows what will happen in a few years
If Empress Dowager Tian died, the Tian family would be like grasshoppers in autumn, and would not be able to jump for long.
The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. Now that Tian Rui is dead, Tian Xun is the only one left in the family. She is smart, beautiful, and a bit scheming.
If the family doesn't rely on her, who else can they rely on
Tian Chengzhong pursed his lips and looked at Mrs. Tian, feeling dissatisfied. He thought his wife was annoying because she was old-fashioned and honest.
Mrs. Tian didn't know that he had gone through so many twists and turns in his mind in the blink of an eye. She was also afraid that the family would be in turmoil. After thinking for a long time, she finally compromised and shook her head with lowered eyebrows: "The Queen Mother naturally dotes on Xiaoxun. She has already asked for grace for Xiaoxun and let Xiaoxun be the companion of the eleventh princess."
Tian Chengzhong's anger immediately turned into joy.
Who is the Eleventh Princess? She is the youngest daughter of Emperor Yuanfeng and Concubine Pang. Concubine Pang and Emperor Yuanfeng treat the Eleventh Princess the same way that Empress Dowager Tian treats Princess Jingming.
The fact that she was able to obtain this grace shows that the Queen Mother truly likes Tian Xun.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed: "Tell Xiaoxun to be careful with his words and actions, and don't be so arrogant!"
It would be useless if you were like Tian Rui, who gets cocky when something happens.
Mrs. Tian sighed: "I know, she is much more patient than us, so why should she explain more? She asked me only because she is worried, after all, the county lady of the Su family was also selected..."
Su family
Tian Chengzhong didn't react for a moment, and when he finally reacted, he asked unhappily, "Which Su family?"
Madam Tian looked at him in confusion: "Which other Su family could it be? Of course it must be the Yongding Earl's Mansion! The county lady of the Su family is already very powerful. If she and she were to be the companions of the eleventh princess, who would be more outstanding? How could Xiaoxun have the time to be so arrogant?"
It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and all the joy in Tian Chengzhong's heart was washed away. With a gloomy face, he asked Mrs. Tian where she heard the news and whether it was true.
Mrs. Tian naturally told Princess Fenyang about her warning: "Even the princess said so, how can she be wrong? But the princess suddenly told us this, it doesn't seem to be well-intentioned..."
Tian Chengzhong didn't care whether Princess Fenyang had good intentions or not.
He was just annoyed that Su Yao had also become the Eleventh Princess's study partner. After all, the name Su Yao had become really well-known in the capital recently. Who didn't know this girl
The fall of Duke Cheng's Mansion and the ruin of the Zhang family were all due to the shadow of this girl.
She is like a plague and usually only brings harm to others.
When the ceremony for Princess Jingming was completed, the date of reburial calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory arrived. Tian Chengzhong took the opportunity of attending the funeral to finally see his daughter.
As soon as he saw his daughter, he looked her up and down and asked her, "Are you feeling better? Do you know that Su Yao will also be the Eleventh Princess's companion?"
When Tian Xun heard the name Su Yao, he felt very disgusted. He frowned subconsciously and then hummed.
Tian Chengzhong didn't care much. Seeing that Queen Mother Tian looked pale, he warned his daughter: "Don't let her step on you! This is a good opportunity. You must have a good relationship with the Eleventh Princess."
After a pause, he coughed again: "Girl, you are a smart child. I have nothing to worry about you. The only thing is that you have to learn to be more tactful. If this way doesn't work, try other ways. Xiao Heng is not an easy person to approach, but the Fifth Prince is a modest gentleman..." (To be continued)
