As soon as Nan left, Gongsun Yingjiang hurriedly said to Mr. Sheng: "Great-grandfather, that matter is not what we thought at all. In fact..."
"Don't ask for anything!" Mr. Sheng interrupted her without hesitation, and said in a kind but unquestionable tone, "Ying Jiang, he knows that I am from Hai Zai. Although I am not a girl, he is bold and does not let men. ! But, am I here now?"
He looked at Gongsun Yingjiang calmly, "I am not a junior of his Sheng family. All the wrong treatment I received represents the dignity of his Sheng family!"
"So the Xu family boy must be responsible for my mistakes!"
"Can he really not ask him to take responsibility?" Gongsun Yingjiang looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Great-grandfather, if you don't ask him to go back to the sea, can we just say that he committed suicide?"
Old Mrs. Sheng said calmly: "Isn't that an unreasonable thing? The Xu family only has a male heir, Xu Xiaozi. If I committed suicide because of what happened yesterday, the person who plotted against us will certainly be the culprit. However, if he is spared lightly by the Sheng family Mr. Xu, how can those Wei Aunts be respected by others in the future!?"
"And I am young now, so I inevitably have many naive thoughts... Do I think I can be free and happy when I return to Haizai?" He said something unpleasant: "I wonder if Haizai's confinement will be so easy, our Gongsun family, very Do you need to work tirelessly to find the shore?!"
"The reason why I don't feel miserable in Haizai is because I have elders to protect me from the wind and rain."
"Once my elders are all on the shore, I will try again alone in the sea if I am not on the shore!"
"Since we are on the shore, we should abide by the rules on the shore."
"For that reason, he thought that even if my biological father didn't tell me carefully, my little uncle should have warned me again and again!"
Seeing that Gongsun Yingjiang's face turned slightly red after hearing this, Mrs. Sheng felt soft-hearted for a moment, but thinking of his direct relatives, although his tone softened slightly, he continued, "Although the Xu family boy has a young heart, , he has done many romantic things in the past, but fortunately, that child is not really a vicious and heartless person. I have also seen his elders, and they are not serious and reasonable. I married him because I was too weak and could not do it at all. I can’t help but worry about him!”
"After all, he is among the first four elders, and everyone will help me!"
"Such a husband-in-law elder is honestly very rare in the world."
"If I don't deny that Qiao Er is wrong, Xu Xiaozi really likes him. To be honest, he is actually very satisfied with him as Qiao Er's husband... Although I don't deny his Sheng family blood, but I lived in the Sheng family in those years, I should know that Qiao Er is here Given the status of the Sheng family, the husband chosen for her must have been carefully considered!"
When Old Master Sheng said that, he stopped talking temporarily to let Gongsun Yingjiang think about his words.
Gongsun Yingjiang frowned for a long time and asked, "Could it be that great-grandfather... He... He felt scared when he saw Xu Baomo, and was afraid that even if the four elders of the Xu family came to help, he wouldn't be able to control him?"
"I wonder if I have always been so cowardly that I can live a happy life just by marrying someone else?!" Mrs. Sheng said immediately, "My parents are not as sensible as the Xu family. I am afraid that my confinement will be miserable!"
Gongsun Yingjiang continued without giving up: "Then can he never marry for the rest of his life?"
"If I want to settle the debt, I'm just talking about being young now!" The old man sneered, "I won't get married, and I can rely on my elders to support me now. What about the future? Even if you give me the property, I am a pretty girl. Can I hold on? My brothers and sisters were so good at that time. After we get married, we have our own family to take care of. Who has time to continue to be my father and mother?!"
"Especially when I get older, if I encounter a group of unscrupulous servants who abuse me and take advantage of my family property... How can I bear that kind of situation?!"
He also promised, "The Sheng family will never be able to fault me for what happened that time! In that way, he will make the decision. When I leave the cabinet, no matter how much dowry my biological father gives me, the Sheng family will be obsessed with Wei Rao and Wei Wu. Prepare a separate copy for me! And if my life in the Xu family is not satisfactory in the future, the old man will definitely go out to seek justice for me!!!"
... In fact, Mrs. Sheng's last words may seem impassioned, but are they playing tricks on her: Is the old man approaching the age where his ears are soft? Although he is still strong, how many more years can he live according to the common life expectancy at that time
He just said that Gongsun Yingjiang Qiufu had a bad life in the Xu family, and he personally went out to seek justice for her. He did not say what he would do if Gongsun Yingjiang went to the Sheng family to ask for help once he died and Gongsun Yingjiang was unhappy.
This does not mean that Mrs. Sheng cherishes the selfishness of his own blood. If something happens, he is responsible for it himself, but he is unwilling to pass the responsibility to the younger generations.
Gongsun Ying was simply confused by whether he wanted to marry Xu Baomo. She was very confident about her confinement after marrying Xu Baomo. With such a bully and fear of the strong, how could she need other helpers? It's easy to deal with it alone!
So it can be seen that Old Mrs. Sheng has a resolute attitude. He thinks that no matter whether his status in the heart of his father or in Sheng Suihe's heart, he cannot compare with Old Mrs. Sheng, unless he is willing to leave everything behind and sneak away to wander, You have to make sure you don't get caught, otherwise the Xu Gongsun clan will be sealed.
"...Then he has never thought about asking to leave the cabinet so quickly before. How about delaying the wedding date?" Gongsun Yingjiang did not attach much importance to marriage. Seeing that he could not resist now, he retreated to the next best thing. I begged, "Can we wait until next year or the year after next?"
"Isn't that something sudden?" Seeing that she agreed to marry Xu Baomo, Mrs. Sheng's expression softened a lot, and his face showed a bit of true kindness and guilt. He said warmly, "I'll wait till tomorrow." It won’t happen the year after tomorrow! In that case, people will think that the Xu family is deliberately holding off on marrying me!"
He thought for a while and said, "That month I picked sunflowers and asked to leave the palace. In that case, we will get engaged right away! We will get married after next year! If there is an explanation for all these mistakes, can it be considered a change? A bad thing turned out to be a good thing.”
The old man made the final decision, and the Xu family felt that they were in the wrong, so of course they would follow everything.
The Bu Naosheng and Xu families had already agreed on a plan to deal with the aftermath, but the eldest princess Wuyang cried to Empress Dowager Meng in Xinshou Palace: "I have received the blessing of my mother, so I have to hold such a banquet for more than a day or two. Since I thought practice makes perfect, who knew... who knew... who knew something like that would happen!!! How can I be so proud of myself now?!"
Before the eldest princess came, Queen Meng, who had received the news in advance, had already cried once in front of the Queen Mother: "Who doesn't know about the canonization of Kang Zhao and the others? Can you give him face? At that time, Twelve and Thirteen actually If you do something like that, you will make it clear that you will not take our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seriously!"
He also said, "Before, the fifth sister broke into Jingshao Palace without permission and trampled on his dignity as the middle palace in front of everyone. If Ming Twelve and Thirteen did such things again, it means that the second and third chambers were not dissatisfied with him. The daughter of the big house enters Wangchun Palace!!!"
Empress Dowager Meng was originally a strong-willed woman, and because of Mrs. Xiang, she was also close to Empress Meng. After hearing those words, she was so angry that she cried bitterly when she saw the Princess Wuyang who had always been respectful and filial to her. , also has its own share of heartache.
Although like Princess Wuyang, Mrs. Wu'anhou and Mrs. Chengyanghou who entered the palace tomorrow morning knelt down in Danchidong and kowtowed desperately to apologize. The Queen Mother was furious and threw the sandalwood wood around her legs on top of them. Now, he scolded them for their incompetence in educating their daughters: "I know how many people in the family are trying to show off! When they meet outsiders, they become more useless than the others! Before their fourteenth wedding, Er Shu relied on pampering to become a coquettish person, and he openly fell into disgrace. When we were facing each other, our natal family members all seemed dead, and no one stood up to support Fourteen!"
"At that time, the two of them were scrambling to lose face, so why don't you think you are easy to bully and won't do anything to us?!"
Mrs. Wu'anhou and Mrs. Chengyanghou both wanted to vomit blood when they heard this. Meng Bijun was humiliated by Er Shu on the day of her wedding. And until now, the emperor has not spent the night at Wangchun Palace... Everyone knows about that, and he has not seen Meng Bijun. The queen mother stands up for her doting niece? !
Why didn't the Meng family support their girls? Why did Emperor Xuan Jing focus solely on Er Shu? The Queen Mother tried her best to get him to agree to make Meng Bijun his successor, and then forced him to make that successor Being above Er Shu, I am afraid that Emperor Xuan Jing will issue an edict to abolish the queen in any minute!
However, if Empress Dowager Meng was angry, they couldn't expose it, so they had to continue kowtow and beg the Empress Dowager not to beg for their fault. Feng Ti was so angry that she said, "I didn't teach my concubine well, and I already feel guilty." , if the empress and phoenix body are allowed to disobey because of this matter again, I will die and it will be difficult for me to atone for my sin!"
"Queen mother, calm down." At that time, Princess Wuyang wiped her eyes, glanced at the two of them, and then came out to persuade them, "Actually, that matter doesn't matter to the two aunts. In the final analysis, twelve and thirteen are not the same. My concubine is not raised by my two aunts! She is a teenager who is about to leave the court, and she is not a three or four-year-old child!"
"You two aunts can't be so greedy and stare at them like the wrong children, right?"
"Speaking of the fact that they do things like this, is it because the two aunts are kind-hearted people and treat their concubines as their own children, and they are used to being lawless!"
"Otherwise, I am not a eldest princess after all, and I am not decent in front of my mother. How could Twelve and Thirteen have the courage to do such a thing in the residence of my son?!"
Hearing what she said, Madam Marquis Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief, but Madam Marquis Wu An looked stern... Sure enough, after hearing the words, Queen Mother Meng tilted her head and thought for a while, and then looked at Dong Lai's eyes, which showed a gloomy meaning. : "Mr. Yao, am I a good daughter?"
Mrs. Yao pointed out Mrs. Wu'anhou. When their sisters-in-law apologized in the palace before, the Queen Mother scolded her together, but at that time she singled out Mrs. Wu'anhou. Apparently, she was reminded by Princess Wuyang and thought of Meng Bichen and his wife's head. went.
Meng Liyi was the concubine of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Her education was not good, probably because she was not raised by her aunt.
But Meng Bichen, the legitimate daughter of Wu Anhou and his wife, is also the most pampered child!
"Mother, Bichen and his wife have been packing their things during the confinement period and preparing to return to Jiangnan. I and the Marquis are watching from the beginning to the end. How can they bribe Twelve and Thirteen to do such a thing?!" Mrs. Wu'anhou was Wu'anhou's first wife. The Queen Mother's sister-in-law knew it very well. She knew that the reason why the Queen Mother became angry after hearing the hint from Princess Minghong Wuyang, and the things she did to anger the Meng family was not a small part. In the final analysis, did she hate Wu'anhou? The government went against his will.
It must be known that the Empress Dowager Meng personally ordered Meng Bichen and his wife to stop traveling eastward and return to the south of the Yangtze River. If Meng Bichen and his wife had planned the changes at the flower viewing party, wouldn't they have completely ignored the Empress Dowager? !
So he immediately said, "I think that 80% of the time Twelve and Thirteen are smart enough to think that they can please Bichen and his wife by doing this!"
Of course, it is impossible to excuse Meng Bichen and his wife with just two sentences, but Mrs. Wu Anhou went on to say, "Maybe they, as girls, did not pay close attention to their studies when they were young, and they did not study hard themselves, so their vision is narrow! If you do something to deceive your family members, you really don’t think it’s good for them!”
"Are they reading poetry and books as much as the Empress? How could they not understand that the red-eyed Meng family has reached the most critical moment in decades? It's too late for the whole family to get together, so why do they have time to care about anything?!"
"Empress Dowager, I can assure you that although Bichen and his wife are not very generous people, they are still the head and mistress of the Gao family, a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River! You don't have to have such a sense of the overall situation!"
"So, the mastermind of this matter seems to be against the couple, but in fact he is definitely wrong!"
Princess Wuyang sighed in her heart: She knew that there was no hope of getting justice from the Sheng and Xu families unless they asked King Gaomi to come forward.
Even if the Empress Dowager Meng, whose face was full of anger at this moment, would definitely not agree to do anything to Meng Bichen and his wife at that time!
Who is the Gao family? Is it the money bag that the Meng family most values and one of the most powerful party members of the Meng family
The Queen Mother, in fact, has a good heart, but she is so righteous that she would not give justice to outsiders, and cut off her own arms in the face of the enemy's current situation!
