A large group of people came to Wanfengxuan. When the Xu family, Huo family and others heard about it, they hurriedly changed their clothes and went out. Although they hated Jiang Wanying, they also disliked Fu Qiuning. Any woman who could take away Jin Fengju's favor was their enemy. Now that these two mistresses are fighting, no matter who wins or loses, it will only benefit them and not harm them, so how can they let this free fun go
Yujie and Yuniang were folding apricot flowers in the pavilion on the rockery in the backyard. Suddenly they turned around and saw a large number of people coming out of Yongcui Garden, heading towards Wanfengxuan. The two of them looked at each other and remembered what Fu Qiuning said when he got up early, so they didn't care about anything else. They ran back with a few apricot flowers in their hands. As soon as they entered the house, they happened to see Fu Qiuning just changing clothes. Seeing them coming back, he smiled and said, "Have you folded the apricot blossoms? Well, get some snacks and we'll go to Kangshouyuan now."
"Grandma, I don't think we need to go there. The excitement you mentioned earlier may have to be brought forward." Yu Jie panted, stroking his chest and said, "Just now, my slave and Yu Niang were folding apricot flowers in the pavilion on the rockery. , I saw a large number of people coming towards us. Although I couldn’t see clearly from a distance, I guessed that the old lady and the wife should be there. There were two spring stools. Apart from them, there were also Who could it be?”
Fu Qiuning stood up in surprise and said, "What? You came so fast?" Then he sat down slowly, and after thinking for a long time, Fang sneered: "It's okay, coming early is not as good as coming in time. In this case, we are ready to welcome the old lady and Madam."
Seeing Yu Niang and Yu Jie go out, Fu Qiuning couldn't help but put his hand on his chest, secretly thinking that it was really dangerous, but fortunately last night... Otherwise, if he were to delay for two more days, he would really fall into a passive position. Even with the protection of the old lady and Jin Fengju, he would become the talk of everyone in the Duke's Mansion in the future. Wouldn't it be easy to live a life of being talked about behind his back? The more I think about it, the more fortunate I feel. Suddenly hearing the sound of the courtyard door, she took a few deep breaths, exhaled them slowly, then stood up, picked up a few apricot flowers that Yu Niang and Yu Jie had placed on the table, and walked out of the house slowly.
When I opened the courtyard door, I saw the old lady and Mrs. Jiang being carried by Chundeng. Fu Qiuning walked down the steps with a smile on his face, walked up to him and said, "How come my ancestors are thinking of my Wanfengxuan today? Just now, I asked Yujie Yuniang to fold a few apricot flowers, thinking of giving them to me. My ancestors send you greetings, and it’s a coincidence that you’re here.” As he said this, he helped the old lady get off the spring bench, and then blessed Mrs. Jiang: “My wife and sister are here too? Fengxuan is really serious tonight. The basil is shining brightly."
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying snorted coldly at the same time, thinking that no matter how eloquent you are today, you will definitely be kicked out. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the old lady smiling and saying: "I thought you should go over to pay your respects in the next two days. Oh, is this the apricot blossom that was folded for me? You are really good at asking for troubles. Don't you think there is no such thing in my yard?" Apricot blossoms blooming? Do you want me to give you this favor? It doesn’t cost half a copper. If you become a master, you will be a good money-keeper."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly smiled and said: "Old lady, I have wronged you. The apricot blossoms are by the way. I have asked Yujie Yuniang to make almond cakes and osmanthus cakes. I know that you like sweet flavors, so I made them specially yesterday. , I’m going to take it to honor you, no, it’s just a coincidence that you’re here, so in that case, let’s eat here.”
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying listened patiently to the two of them joking. They knew in their hearts that the old lady would protect Fu Qiuning. However, this time, they had already made up their minds and tried their best to make the old lady unhappy. It was not possible. He went to ask for permission from Jin Yu, who was now the Duke of Jing. He was always the most honorable person in the palace. If Jin Fengju hadn't agreed to marry Fu Qiuning that day, according to the old man's temper, he would rather break than bend. Now if he knew that this daughter-in-law was so arrogant and did not take his son seriously, he would be the first to divorce her. By then, even if Old Taijun and Jin Fengju wanted to protect Fu Qiuning, it would not be that easy.
With this knowledge in mind, he patiently listened to Fu Qiuning and the old lady's greetings. After a while, Fu Qiuning turned around and said, "Is Madam here with the ancestors today? Or is she looking for a concubine? She doesn't look good."
Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly and said, "You actually care about me? Are you serious?" After saying that, she looked around and saw that in addition to the four masters, there were only Yuniang Yujie, two confidant maids beside her, and Jiang Wanying. The dowry girl beside her was Qiuxia, so she said to Linglong beside her: "Go out and guard, don't let others get close, huh, the family scandal must not be made public."
The old lady knew that her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law could not wait to appear, so she stopped talking and just drank tea and snacks slowly, while secretly saying: "Fengju, Fengju, my good grandson, grandma will help you today." So that you can feel proud in the future and become a truly loving couple with Qiuning. You have to remember this favor. It turns out that the old lady has already made up her mind. Fu Qiuning will be considered perfect. As long as she pays a little attention to it by then. Jin Fengju pushed him, thinking that his grandson must be willing to take the blame. When he wants to be with Fu Qiuning again, the other party will have no reason to shirk, so that his poor grandson can get what he wants as soon as possible.
The old lady also knew that Fu Qiuning was upright, but she looked deeper than Mrs. Jiang Jiang Wanying. She thought that it was not easy for Fu Qiuning to make a living in the past few years. Once he lost the refuge of the Duke of Jingguo, it would be difficult to find a way to survive. It's embarrassing. Obviously, the Zhenjiang Palace will not want a concubine who has been divorced and returned to her natal family. In this way, although Fu Qiuning is upright, she is not a flexible person. If she wants a way out, she naturally has no choice but to compromise with Jin Fengju.
It can be said that everyone present has different thoughts. Seeing Linglong go out, Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly and said to Yu Jie and Yu Niang: "Kneel down, I want to ask you a question."
Yujie and Yuniang immediately knelt down obediently and replied extremely docilely: "Yes." These two were also unkind. They knew that the weaker they were now, they would hit Jiang Wanying and Mrs. Jiang on the face later when they were proud and proud. The slap is louder.
"Let me ask you, since Mr. Marquis came to your Wanfengxuan last spring, has he ever married your grandma as husband and wife?" Mrs. Jiang sat upright in the chair and asked coldly.
"This... seems to have been done." At this time, Yu Jie was bolder and smarter than Yu Niang. He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then immediately said decisively: "Yes, the husband and wife ceremony has been done."
"Are you brave? Is there any need to hesitate about this kind of thing? Since we have already performed the ceremony of husband and wife, why did you say it seemed like it before?" Jiang Wanying scolded sharply, and then heard Yujie reply calmly: "We do this kind of thing It’s not easy for the slave to be here, so I forgot about it just now, but then I remembered that Yu Niang seemed to have accepted grandma’s order, and I became more and more sure.”
Yuniang immediately said from the side: "Yes, back to the old lady, what the madam and Second Grandma Wan said, our grandma's first successful purchase was from the slave, so the slave thought that this should be a husband and wife ceremony. "
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying looked at each other, a little surprised in their hearts, but they only thought that these two people were determined to help Fu Qiuning cover up, and because of the flashing words of Yu Niang and Yu Jie, they were even more convinced that the other party was guilty. So Jiang Wanying sneered: "Really? Now that you've had sex? Why don't you show the red slip to your mother-in-law?" According to the rules of this era, after having sex, the daughter-in-law must give the red slip to prove her virginity. Brought it to my mother-in-law.
Yu Niang and Yu Jie looked at each other and said, "This... slaves don't know." They knew that Fu Qiuning would appear next, and their work was finally over.
Sure enough, Fu Qiuning took over and said calmly: "I live far away and don't interact with the backyard on weekdays. The young Marquis and I have been married for nearly seven years. For nearly six years, we stayed alone in the empty house, and no one ever asked about it. A cry. No one cared about whether I had sex with the young Marquis. So I just ordered Yuniang and Yu Jie to collect the order that day, but did not give it to my mother-in-law for review. "
Jiang Wanying determined that it was Yu Niang and Yu Jie who had nothing to say, so Fu Qiuning continued to help cover up. So he sneered and said slowly: "Really? If that's the case, then my mother-in-law and the old lady are here now. Why don't my sister take out the list and show them to them? This is what my sister should do."
Fu Qiuning said calmly: "Of course I should." After saying that, he blushed slightly and said to Yu Niang: "Go and take out the receipts that day." At the same time, he turned back and said: "Since my mother-in-law and sister are suspicious of me, there is no need to It's such a troublesome thing. Just ask the young Marquis and everything will come to light. Why bother? It's so embarrassing."
Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly, but Jiang Wanying smiled beside her and said: "Who knows that my husband is very fond of my sister. If I ask my husband, I am afraid that I will immediately hide it for my sister. My sister is really good at coaxing her husband into thinking This is appropriate, and my sister really wants to learn from it, but she is afraid that she will not teach her with all her heart."
Fu Qiuning smiled lightly and said: "What are you talking about, sister? My sister and I are true childhood sweethearts. The love we have grown up together since childhood is nothing that I can compare to. If there is one person in this family who likes me the most, besides my sister, Who could it be? Besides, Aunt Xu, Aunt Huo and others all have children, and only the children under my knees are adopted. It would be somewhat credible to say that I am the least favored."
Jiang Wanying was furious, Fu Qiuning was clearly mocking her for not being able to capture a man's heart. You, a childhood sweetheart, have the nerve to come and ask me about ways to please your husband? What's more, I don't even have any biological children, and I was just like an abandoned wife before. You are actually being pushed down by me. Isn't it a shame for you
