The decision Sheng Weiqiao asked was of course the decision to let Xu Caikui and Wu Yanyi reconcile.
At this moment, seeing Gongsun Yingjiang nodding with a smile and Xu Caikui looking sad, Sheng Weiqiao was not surprised. After all, Nan had repeatedly advised himself and Gongsun Yingjiang not to be too submissive to men and never to wrong themselves too much. How could this be possible? Let your biological daughter endure a mother-in-law like Mrs. Cen
"You haven't told the Wu family yet?" At this time, Lord Guangchang and Lord Yunyang went to a pond not far away to feed the koi. Under the flower stand were Sheng Weiqiao, Gongsun Yingjiang and Xu Caikui, and the maids were all kicked out. I looked at the two little princes, so it was very convenient to talk.
Sheng Weiqiao asked, "Otherwise, then Mr. Cen would still be here mumbling to you just now?"
Gongsun Yingjiang said: "It's not that my mother thought that Cai Kui had done nothing wrong, but she happened to meet such a mother-in-law. If she proposed a divorce directly, it would be fine if the other side didn't agree. It would be disgusting to say that Cai Kui was a good person. Jealousy and the like, ruining the reputation of Cai Kui, wouldn’t it make me sick to death just thinking about it?”
"This matter really needs to be carefully considered by Haosheng." Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "If there is anything we can do to help, don't be polite!"
"This is just a trivial matter." Gongsun Yingjiang waved his hand, "That is, my father is thinking about the relationship with Mr. Wu back then, and the fact that the Wu family has been chasing after Cai Kui and agreeing to take a concubine in the past year. It's not that I have any grievances about picking sunflowers. I plan to wait until the Wu family finds a place to stay and move out. Otherwise, if we talk about this now, regardless of whether the Wu family agrees or not, they will definitely be embarrassed to stay in the Hou Mansion any longer. "
Sheng Weiqiao twitched the corner of his mouth, trying to stop smiling and said, "Uncle Xu Shi and Aunt Nan are both very kind, but for some reason, they always meet unreliable people?"
Gongsun Yingjiang heard that this was a slap on him, and smiled awkwardly: "That's not true... sometimes it's a misunderstanding."
Their aunt and nephew talked for a while, but seeing that Xu Caikui remained silent, they persuaded her with concern: "The Wu family is really unreliable. They have only been married for a year, and they are forcing you to agree to take a concubine for Wu Yanyi under the pretext of planning for heirs." Well, the key point is that the family is living in the Xu family at the moment. Aunt Nan made it clear that she disagreed with this matter. Mrs. Cen kept talking and Mr. Wu didn't stop her. It was obvious that she didn't take the Xu family seriously at all. ! In this case, if you continue to live with that Wu Yanyi, even if you have children, I'm afraid it won't go well! It's better to have a clean break while you still have no children, and then find a lover!"
"Why don't I understand this?" Xu Caikui forced a smile, "It's just that my husband is always kind to me and is willing to give in to me. But on this matter, when I asked him, he hesitated for a long time and said that my mother-in-law was accompanying me. It's not easy for my father-in-law to live in Xiazhou for many years. He can't bear to disobey his mother-in-law... I... "
She smiled bitterly and did not continue, "I don't feel very well right now and want to go for a walk alone. Sister Qiao, can you talk to your sister-in-law first?"
After saying that, without waiting for the aunt and nephew's persuasion, they already stood up and ran away.
Not far away by the lotus pond, her dowry girl noticed her and quickly picked up her skirt to chase after her.
"Auntie, are you here to see me today?" Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her but had no intention of following her, Gongsun Yingjiang twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao snorted coldly and put down the tea bowl, "I've told you all I can say, and I'm too lazy to talk to you this time: Just one thing, if you dare to do it again, I won't I will come to you again, and I will ask your uncle to give me an explanation!"
Gongsun Yingjiang was stunned for a long time, clapped his hands, and said bitterly: "I know! It must be Aunt Fuchang who went to complain, right?! She is really going too far!"
"If Fu Chang knew your true nature, would you still be able to talk to you properly? You would have been frightened by you!" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "You still have the nerve to blame her? She thought you were so angry that you said It’s nonsense. You were so worried when you told it to me! After I heard it, I felt so anxious for you! You said you have such a brain that you can’t think of serious things all day long?!”
She gritted her teeth, "Although Xu Baomo is not a good person, where is Aunt Nan? Where are the elders of the Xu family?! They have nothing to say to you, right?! Everyone in the world says that I was born in a honey jar, so I can't marry." Well married. But let me tell you, the elders of my husband’s family are incomparable to the Xu family! Even if it’s Xu Baomo, you can’t control him. With his little ability, how can he still wrong you? ! Tell me about the things you did... What would happen if Aunt Nan and the others knew the truth one day?! How old are Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou? Can you be more careful?! "
"... This time I am trying to atone for my sins and help my mother-in-law." Gongsun Yingjiang said sarcastically, "Otherwise, Xu Caikui and I are not very familiar with each other, so I would not care about her being angry with her mother-in-law!"
Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "That's your sister-in-law!"
Gongsun Yingjiang smiled apologetically and said, "Isn't it true that we haven't gotten along very much and we don't get along? However, as my aunt said, I just don't look at other people's faces. I will always remember my mother-in-law's kindness to me... It's all a joke to sleep with Mr. Wu, I'm just upset because of Mr. Cen's behavior, so I just said it casually!"
"If someone else had said this, I would have believed it was a joke." Sheng Weiqiao said expressionlessly, "But you..."
"Master Wu is so old, and he is not very handsome. I mean, he is just better than his stupid son. In real comparison, I would rather sleep with Xu Baomo!" Gongsun Yingjiang said aggrievedly. , "Auntie, please don't say that I am as good as my husband. Who do I want to sleep with who is not handsome and in his prime? I don't care about that kind of old man!"
He added, "This time I really want to help my mother-in-law solve the problem of picking sunflowers."
Sheng Weiqiao frowned, not quite believing her promise, but at the moment there were guests from the Duke's Palace and the Marquis' Palace, and it was not easy to stay for a long time, so he stared at Gongsun Yingjiang and swore again and again, and dragged Rong Suihe out to threaten him again and again. Finally, he said goodbye worriedly.
Two days had passed since she returned home. On this day, she was drinking tea in the courtyard of the fifth day of the year and watching her two nieces playing with the fifth day of the month. However, a servant came to report that it was the Lord Jingshu County who came to visit.
"Invite her to the flower hall to serve tea." Sheng Weiqiao thought to herself that Huan Yehe hadn't seen her for a long time, and now he suddenly came to the door. He probably had something to do, so he didn't disturb his two nieces who were playing with the fifth day of the month. After leaving quietly, he said to the people around him, "I'll change my clothes and go over there!"
After a while, she and Huan Yehe met in the flower hall. As expected, Huan Yehe met each other and said a few words to signal the clearing of the place.
Sheng Wei Qiao Yiyan dismissed everyone, and she frowned and said, "Kang Zhao, Meng Ba is going back to Chang'an!"
"Meng Ba?" Sheng Weiqiao was confused for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Meng Boheng, the eighth son of the Meng family. Speaking of which, this was the first descendant of the Meng family that Sheng Weiqiao heard about. This seemed to be him
Thinking of the relationship between this person and her side, she was surprised and said, "This person has lived in Bishui County for the past two years and has not moved. Is he getting better now?"
Huan Yehe glanced at the empty flower hall and hummed: "You don't know Mi Zhen's plan yet? Has he still thought about it? If he can get better, why wait until now? Isn't this what happened to him before? You I told the Queen Mother that it was Ruru who did it, but later I thought it was Ruru? At that time, I originally said that I wanted to ask Ruru for an explanation, but your father-in-law was fighting fiercely with the Meng family, so how could I care? !”
"It turned out that Ruru was really committing a crime on a large scale. The person in Bishui County heard this and was scared to death. He was afraid that Ruru would come to the door again and simply kill him! No, even though he was still miserable at the moment, In Chang'an, the Empress also said that the situation in the Meng family is complicated now, and it would be better for him to stay in Bishui County, but she refused to listen, and she had to run back to Chang'an to feel safe?"
She was very speechless about this former suitor, "He doesn't even think about it! In terms of identity, he is just one of the many children of the Meng family. Until now, he has no serious job or fame. Before, in Bishui County, he was still It can be said that he is a relatively outstanding nobleman in the local area, so he will be chosen as a target by the so-called Ruru. At this time, the two countries are at war, and the serious princes and grandsons are not seen worrying about being assassinated by Ruru all day long. Really I don’t know how he can feel so important?!”
Sheng Weiqiao asked in confusion: "If he wants to come back, just come back. Didn't you say that Meng will never know about what happened before?"
She felt a little guilty when she said this, but she was not going to Meng Boheng, but to Queen Meng. Although it was difficult for Sheng Weiqiao to have any affection for Meng Boheng in Calm Suihe's description, this person was Queen Meng after all. brothers, especially Empress Meng's only brother.
Thinking of the fact that the Queen's life was already difficult enough, and now her only brother was destroyed by Rong Suihe, in this era when girls generally need the support of their fathers and brothers, she naturally felt sorry for the Queen.
"Meng Boheng doesn't know the truth about what happened in Bishui County." Huan Yehe's mouth twitched, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Isn't it that Meng Boheng is four years older than the queen? The queen has already turned a century since she entered the palace. , he hasn’t officially married yet, so Madam Xiang is worried, and decides to hire her immediately after he arrives in Chang’an, so is it a good time to celebrate?”
Sheng Weiqiao said unexpectedly: "Mrs. Xiang is forcing you to marry him?!"
"She doesn't like me like this. It would be much better if you were like me!" Huan Yehe sneered when he heard this and glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, "I have been a lowly servant in Jiao Yu's hands for many years, and the position of the Duke's wife is After suffering so much in life, she now looks like the mistress of Duke Zheng's palace... Do you think she would be happy to have a daughter-in-law who is good at dancing and better than her to steal the limelight? That person, her favorite daughter-in-law, is the one she can bully first. !”
"Am I someone she can bully?" Sheng Weiqiao laughed dumbly, "I'm not the kind of person who accepts everything!"
Huan Yehe did not argue with her about this issue, but continued: "Their mother and son are now interested in a girl from the Luo family! Isn't Mi Zhen's teacher in Nanfeng County the governor of Luo County? I thought since Now that you know about this, why don't you tell him and see if he wants to intervene?"
"A girl from the Luo family?" Sheng Weiqiao felt that he couldn't understand the considerations of Mrs. Xiang and his son, "Isn't that a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River along with the Gao family? If Meng Boheng is good, that's fine. But he doesn't seem to be in good health at the moment. Right? How could the Luo family be willing to marry a good girl to a cripple?"
Huan Yehe mocked: "Maybe this cripple is the Queen's brother?"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was speechless for a moment, then sighed, "It's really not easy for the Queen."
She was already having a very difficult time in the palace, and she had to deal with her biological mother and brothers who were trying so hard to find trouble. It was no wonder that Queen Meng used to hold this book all day long as an excuse to ignore anyone. If it were her, she would feel the same. This kind of relatives really have nothing to say.
"No kidding." But at this time Huan Ye laughed and said, "The queen has no power. No matter how stupid Mrs. Xiang and Meng Boheng are, they don't know this. The reason why they dare to make this idea seems to be because they have won the Northern Xinjiang The support over there...but I think it’s just to set off the other side.”
Sheng Weiqiao asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
