Sheng Weiqiao only had the strength of an ordinary boudoir girl, but she didn't hold back at all in this slap. Yuan Donglai was a spoiled child, and her little face was naturally delicate. She was immediately swollen from the beating and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.
Mrs. Qi looked dumbfounded, and the Lord of Jian'an County also covered his mouth in astonishment: Although Yuan Donglai's actions were very bad, firstly she was a junior, and secondly she was young. As an aunt who had just entered the house and had not yet had her wedding, Sheng Weiqiao, Ordinarily, even if the personal maid was worried about him and scolded her, even if Princess Qingfang scolded her, it would be fine. How could she take action
Especially a direct slap in the face.
Are you planning to become relatives now
"Third brother and sister, what are you?!" Not only were they dumbfounded, Princess Qingfang was also stunned. After listening to her daughter crying loudly for a while, she said in disbelief, "What are you...?"
"You don't know how to discipline your daughter, so you don't need to thank me for teaching you a lesson!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't even look at her, but looked at Yuan Donglai with sharp eyes, and said solemnly, "Little thing! I'm going to teach you to be a good boy today. : If you want to be willful, vicious, or crazy, I don't care about other people's homes. Anyone who dares to touch me here is thinking of your grandparents. I will give you a long memory! Until next time. ! Next time, give it a try!!!"
This was her true words. Originally, although Sheng Weiqiao was higher in seniority than Yuan Donglai and nearly ten years older than her, because she had been pampered since she was a child, she had always been given the thumbs up and supported by others. There was not much "I am the elder." Be tolerant and tolerant."
Although Juli is not the two maids Lu Jin and Lu Qi who have served her since childhood, she is also an old man who started working as a sweeper in Zhu Ying Xiaozhu at the age of six or seven, and gradually worked her way up to the position of the eldest maid. .
Compared to Lu Jin and Lu Qi, who like to make decisions, Sheng Weiqiao especially likes Ju Li's silence and gentleness in recent years. Just now he saw her being seriously injured to protect him, and he was already angry from the bottom of his heart. Listening to Yuan Donglai's words again, if she didn't still have some sense, she would have torn her niece's heart out! ! !
After all, how could a niece who had only met him for the first day and was not related by blood, compare with the confidant who had served him since childhood? !
"...Dong Lai, you are so ridiculous. Why don't you apologize to your aunt quickly?" Seeing her being so unwilling, Princess Qingfang's lips twitched, wanting to say something, but in the end she suppressed her anger and distress and whispered. He said to his daughter, "If you apologize, my mother will take you out to apply for medicine... ah?"
After all, as a child, Yuan Donglai was already stunned by the beatings she received from her new aunt. After listening to this aunt's warning and feeling Sheng Weiqiao's hostility firsthand, the point was that her own mother didn't even dare to help her. She suddenly It gives rise to fear.
After sobbing for a while, he finally turned timid: "I... I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
"The child knows you are wrong, what else do you want?" Princess Qingfang usually dotes on her children, not to mention beating her, and never said a harsh word. Now it is really hurting Rong Suihe's face. After hearing her daughter's apology, Sheng Weiqiao still looked cold and dissatisfied, so she couldn't help but say, "She's just a maid after all! Can I pay you ten percent?"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she secretly screamed, "Oh no!" Now everyone in Chang'an knows that the dowry of the Princess of Mi Zhen County is like a mountain of gold and silver. What kind of maid will you pay her
Besides, this personal maid can be done by just anyone!
Sure enough, Sheng Weiqiao's anger, which had subsided a little, rose up again, and he said in a cold voice: "Since the confidant maid who grew up together since childhood can make such compensation, then I will send a dozen beauties to the Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion tomorrow to give birth to ten children for you. , eight daughters, can you beat this daughter to death?!"
"..." Princess Qingfang felt that she was simply unreasonable. No matter how they grew up together and how close they were to each other, how could they be compared to each other if they were different between high and low
Besides, he was just saying to apologize to the maid, but Sheng Weiqiao actually said that he would beat Yuan Donglai to death. The princess also looked ugly, and did not call her daughter to continue to apologize. She directly picked up Yuan Donglai and walked out, "It seems that the third brother and sister I really don’t want to see our mother and daughter right now, so if that’s the case, then we’ll say goodbye!”
Sheng Weiqiao didn't stay either, and asked with a stern face: "Why isn't the doctor here yet?!"
She didn't mind giving Ju Li a look at her injuries in the new house, but Ju Li refused to do so. Before the doctor arrived, she finally begged Sheng Weiqiao to send someone to take her to the side room, instead of letting Sheng Weiqiao guard her. He forced his county master to return to the inner chamber, and Jinli continued to serve him.
When Sheng Weiqiao returned to the inner room, Lord Jian'an had already left, but Mrs. Qi stayed.
"Sister-in-law, haven't you left yet?" She asked in a calm tone, "You are the eldest sister-in-law. There should be many people at the table today who want your help to greet them, right?"
"I think you're in a bad mood, so I'll stay and chat with you." Mrs. Qi sighed and said, "The maid just now seemed to be in good spirits, so it shouldn't be anything serious. After all, this new house is quite some distance from the kitchen. , the soup that was just out of the pot over there was brought all the way over, and it took a long time to serve it. It couldn't be as hot as when it was first served. When I went back to the palace, I asked the palace to get some white and tender skin. Apply some kind of cream and powder on her, and she may not have scars at this age."
Sheng Weiqiao was indeed in a bad mood, but he was still very grateful for Mrs. Qi's concern: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for asking you to worry!"
"Qingfang actually doesn't have a bad heart, and she doesn't hold grudges. She just dotes on her children too much." After hearing this answer, Mrs. Qi sighed secretly: She only said that she was worrying me, but she didn't regret slapping Yuan Donglai just now. This shows that This sister-in-law is so angry!
When she is not provoked, she is relatively easy to get along with, and she knows how to greet and be polite; once she is provoked, she will fall out of love faster than reading a book. She does not consider relatives or the situation at all, and only wants to be happy for herself!
This kind of temper is either cold and selfish by nature, or it has become a matter of course because he has been surrounded by a group of people since he was a child!
Ms. Qi felt so stressed about getting along with such a sister-in-law!
She steeled herself and continued, "But brother-in-law, I mean that Marquis Huaiyuan is still very reasonable. He might bring Dong Lai to your door later to apologize. After all, we are relatives. You..."
"I will tell Mi Zhen later." Sheng Weiqiao didn't even give face to Princess Qingfang, Rong Suihe's biological sister. She didn't even care about Huaiyuan Hou Yuan Liuguang. Anyway, Rong Suihe had revealed to her earlier that he I don't expect these blood relatives at all, and I don't intend to get too close.
At this moment, he said, "We'll see what he says then!"
Mrs. Qi smiled bitterly when she heard this and thought to herself, "Mizhen said?" That little ancestor wants to be your son-in-law for the Sheng family, so why doesn’t he just listen to you in everything
She was in a very complicated mood at the moment, but it was not all about worries about the future relationship between her sisters-in-law, but also a bit of mixed emotions: because she didn't know that Yuan Liuguang had secretly surrendered to Rong Suihe, Qi was thinking about Yuan Liuguang. To be honest, when I saw my little daughter being beaten like that, no matter whether she came to the county prince's house to apologize or not, how could I not feel resentful towards Sheng Weiqiao
Not only did he hate Sheng Weiqiao, but Rong Suihe would probably protect his princess. If so, the two families would naturally have bad blood.
"When I returned to Ning last time, my father asked my mother to remind me that since my third brother came back as the number one scholar, many people under my father's command had their minds wandering, thinking that the Meng family was so powerful that the heir apparent at this time should be chosen based on his merit." Mrs. Qi secretly thought, "Although my husband is filial, his talents are actually not as good as those of the third brother... I thought before that although my subordinates thought so, my father insisted on supporting my husband. After all, the third brother just came to Chang'an and had a shallow foundation. I persuade my husband not to take the initiative to give up his position as the eldest son, and the third brother will not suppress my husband so easily!"
"However, this time the third brother got married, whether it was himself, the betrothal gift obtained from his father, and the dowry given by the third brother and sister, all proved the third brother's background... "
"If he doesn't have the intention to compete with his husband, that's fine. Once he has the intention, the husband..."
Rong Qingzuo had proposed to King Gaomi several times that he would give up his position as Crown Prince to Rong Suihe in exchange for peace in the palace and the return of his subordinates.
Mrs. Qi also knew this.
This was when Rong Suihe said nothing and showed no attitude.
If he expressed his stance, how could Rong Qingzuo not cooperate
And Rong Qingzui can be so generous, Qi...she really can't be generous.
Not to mention her hard work as a wife of the royal family over the years, not to mention the sacrifices she made due to her stature being out of shape as a result of continuous childbirth under the heavy pressure of her son-in-law, and her instinct as a mother to protect the interests of her own flesh and blood. , even the Qi family behind her would never agree to such courtesy.
You must know that her biological father, Jianxun, was a veteran of two dynasties. In terms of influence, court status and qualifications, he was second only to Huan Guanlan. He was on the same level as Yuan Liuguang's father, Huaiyuan Zhuanghou, who died young. .
Qi Jianxun was willing to side with King Gaomi in the first place mainly because he loved talents and felt that King Gaomi was more suitable to manage such a large dynasty than the fallen Emperor Xuan Jing.
At that time, in order to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, when the King of Gaomi proposed marriage to the Qi family for Rong Qingzui, Qi Jianxun was not very satisfied with Rong Qingzui himself, thinking that his qualifications were mediocre and not what he thought a son-in-law should be.
In this case, the biggest reason that prompted Qi Jianxun to agree to the marriage was that King Gaomi promised that no matter how his second son Rong Qingzui behaves, Rong Qingzui will always be the heir apparent! And there is a subtle hint that although Rong Qingzuo is not very smart, he is the eldest son of King Gaomi. With King Gaomi's physical condition, if nothing unexpected happens, he can definitely count on his grandson!
In this way, Qi Jianxun could be said to be nodding towards the birth of a queen and a queen mother in the family. How could he tolerate his son-in-law giving up the position of potential heir apparent before the big thing was accomplished? !
Or give it to Rong Suihe, who has nothing to do with the Qi family and no friendship? !
"Now that the third brother and sister are making such a fuss, they will turn against the Yuan family." Thinking of the analysis of interests and instigation relayed by her mother, Qi silently thought, "And before the third brother and sister came in, they were offended because of the matter of cousin Zhao San. The Zhao family...the two most trusted families under my father's command, the couple have already offended each other in just a few days. I don't know what the third brother will think when he finds out later."
