"You... you mean... you want to treat her as your wife? Then... where do you want Wanying?" Mrs. Jiang said tremblingly.
"Mother." Jin Fengju had been turning his back to Mrs. Jiang before. Now he suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so confused? As long as Wanying doesn't do anything excessive, I will naturally love her and respect her as always. In your heart, Which is more important, my son? Or is it your niece? Wanying's children are your grandchildren, aren't Feng'er and Jiao'er? They are also my flesh and blood. I don't ask you to be impartial, but there is always partiality. There has to be a limit.”
"An excessive thing? What is an excessive thing? I think about everything for you, and just want to get rid of a woman who robbed her husband. Can it be called an excessive thing?" Mrs. Jiang felt sad and felt that her niece was not worth it.
Jin Fengju sneered and said: "Why did mother say such a thing? Don't forget, Wanying is a common wife, and Mrs. Fu is the real wife. According to your statement, it seems that Mrs. Fu has such excessive qualifications, right? What's more, on that day, Mrs. Aunt and concubine, aren't mothers making the decision for their sons? Why are they asking their sons now? If they had known this, they should have only allowed their sons to marry Wanying. Otherwise, every woman with a son would be qualified to do such an outrageous thing. ,Is not it?"
Mrs. Jiang was speechless. In the final analysis, this was the tragedy of feudal thought and society, but how could she understand the truth? In that era, jealousy was a common problem. Who dared to get involved in it? On the contrary, only by bending one's will and seeking all-roundness can one be called virtuous and gentle. In the entire Houfu, Fu Qiuning was the only one who dared to sneer at such a system that harmed women.
"Mother, although there are seven reasons for jealousy, my son also knows that this is human nature. However, everything has a degree. If you are ignorant of your conscience, don't blame your son for not thinking about the love between husband and wife. My son is not Regarding Wanying, today the situation has been reversed, and it has become Wanying who is the key point of Fu's deliberate plan, and the son is also unpretentious." Jin Fengju finished speaking calmly and thought to himself, forget it, these words are enough for my mother to suffer for a while, let's start with How about this.
Who would have thought that just after taking a few steps, Mrs. Jiang laughed miserably and said: "So, you must protect Mrs. Fu? For her, you would not hesitate to embarrass me and Wanying in public. Now our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have probably already He has become the object of jokes among the servants and maids in the house. Son, is this how you stand up for Mrs. Fu and take revenge on your mother and your wife?"
Jin Fengju frowned slightly, turned around and said: "Mother is over-thought. This is indeed a method, but it is not directed at mother, but the son has other motives. It is related to a major event, so mother need not worry about it, and it is not revenge. It's just that What happened today, mother, doesn’t need my son to explain it more clearly, right? Mr. Fu has been selling things for six years, why did the incident suddenly come to light at this time? That Zhang San has always been a safe person, who promised him that he could take Yu Niang’s business to him later? The conditions for rationing him? To make him reveal the truth when he is shaken? Mother, who actually damaged the face of the Hou Mansion? In order to drive away Qiu Ning, he did not hesitate to damage his own reputation. Such behavior, if dad knew about it, Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Mrs. Jiang fell into her chair with a thud and looked at her son in fear. She had always known that her son was smart, and thinking about what happened this time, she might not be able to make her son kill Fu Qiuning without any doubts. In fact, it also proved that she indeed underestimated Jin Fengju's desire to protect Fu Qiuning. However, she never expected that in just one day, her son would find out everything. Jiang Wanying had obviously told her that Feng Ju rushed to Wanfengxuan last night.
"Furthermore, does mother know? Prince Lie told his son about this matter. In front of the Qinzheng Palace, his son was forced to have a banquet with him using a veil embroidered by Qiuning to find out what happened. You should know what kind of person the prince is, right? Up to now, my son still doesn’t know what his purpose is and what his next steps are. Mother, mother, do you know that because of your temporary confusion, it is very likely that your son will fall into a dangerous situation? "
"How...how could this happen? This...this is impossible, how could it be Prince Lie? You are busy these days, and I know you will not pay attention to these rumors, so I wanted to let you know suddenly, and I divorced Fu in a rage. Although this rumor is widespread, I spread it deliberately, and it only took a day. Besides... not to mention, it is related to the reputation of the palace after all. Wan... I... I have also ordered that no one is allowed to make a big show of it, as long as they can use this as a reason to drive them out. Just Mrs. Fu. How could Prince Lie know about it?" Mrs. Jiang was so confused that she told everything about her, but she didn't forget to take the blame for her niece.
"Don't make it public? But this matter has already spread to the streets. In one day, only one day? How could Prince Lie find out so quickly?" Jin Fengju straightened up, frowned tightly, and suddenly turned to Jiang The lady said, "Mom, what you just said are all true?"
"No... that's right." Mrs. Jiang had been crushed by fear. Of course she knew the cruelty of political struggle. She held Jin Fengju's hand tightly: "Son... son, did mother get into trouble for you? This... What is the purpose of Prince Lie? Is he trying to frame you? Why not... Why not hide first... "
"What's the use of hiding now?" Jin Feng raised his hand and patted his mother's hand: "Don't worry, my son is also a person who has been through the storm. In the past, he worked for the emperor and experienced many dangers. Didn't he always turn danger into safety? ? If Prince Lie makes any move, his tail will show up sooner or later. He will just show off his tactics when the time comes. Mother, please relax. This matter ends here. My father and son will not say anything. The old lady must be thinking She knew it well, but since she sent her son to talk to her mother, she also wanted to calm things down. After all, a peaceful home is the blessing of the whole family. The servants don't know why, so there is no need to worry too much. Mother, just rest assured and don't let this happen. I was frightened, so my son said some serious words today."
Mrs. Jiang nodded frequently, but the fear in her heart did not lessen. Jin Fengju looked at her and sighed inwardly, thinking why did he do it in the first place if he had known earlier? But that's all, I think my mother should learn some lessons this time, I just hope that she can treat Qiu Ning equally in the future, even though it seems impossible no matter how much I think about it.
After leaving Mrs. Jiang's upper room, Jin Fengju returned to Qingwan Pavilion, only to see Jiang Wanying sitting alone on the couch, lost in thought. Seeing him coming back, she stood up and forced a smile and said, "Are you coming back from Wanfengxuan? Take off your cloak first." After that, she stepped forward to help him take off his cloak.
"No, I have to go out later." Jin Fengju said calmly, thought for a while, and then said to Jiang Wanying: "My mother has already taken all the responsibility for today's matter, and I don't want to pursue it any further. I believe Those who deserve to be taught a lesson have also gained some memory. But Wanying, what you did in the past was also flawed. Although I placed Mrs. Fu in Wanfengxuan, I did not intend to harm her life. At that time, I also I specifically told you that all the regulations must be delivered on time. Otherwise, why would I send the two children there? Was my original intention to let them starve to death with the Fu family? Although I was young and vigorous at the time , I don’t like them, but after all, they are my biological flesh and blood, and a tiger’s poison cannot eat its seeds. Do you think I can be cold enough to starve them to death? Huh? Is this how you see me?”
"No, cousin, I have never thought about it like this." Jiang Wanying's face was pale and she was about to shed tears, but she heard Jin Fengju say in a deep voice: "Since I have never thought about it like this, why have these ladies never had the opportunity to do so in the past five years?" More than half of the cases? Do you want to say that they lied in front of me? There have been no less cases in these years? "
Jiang Wanying had thought of this consequence when she planned this incident. It's not that she didn't know that this matter would involve her a little, but she just thought that with Mrs. Jiang's protection, she should be fine. What's more, in order to drive Fu Qiuning away, she did not hesitate to sacrifice one or two chess pieces. But he didn't expect Jin Fengju to protect Fu Qiuning like that. For her, he made painstaking arrangements and finally solved the enemy's siege. Now, he has shot a rock in the foot, and his subordinates who deserve to be sacrificed cannot be careless at all.
Thinking of this, I had to worry and gritted my teeth: "It's all that bastard Lai's daughter-in-law. Because I didn't want to hear about Wan Fengxuan, I told her that every month's monthly payment would be I handed it to her and sent it to Wanfengxuan. Who would have thought that this stupid thing became greedy, thinking that it was just a place that I despised, and I didn't ask, she... She actually had the audacity to be greedy for all the things and money. go."
"Oh? How dare she be so bold? Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Fu and the children will starve to death, and I will ask her to pay for it with my life?" Jin Fengju's expression was livid, and his eyebrows were raised. Jiang Wanying's heart was pounding, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the bastard wife has the vicious intention of 'death without proof'. Cousin, don't be angry, I have already asked the bastard couple out of the house. From now on, my sister's monthly routine I will personally monitor the monthly payment, so there will never be any more deficiencies.”
"Oh? Kicked out?" Jin Feng raised his eyebrows and fixed his sharp gaze on Jiang Wanying's face, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Yes, what are you doing with such a heartless thing? Cousin... Cousin, do you think I went too far? I... I was also furious at the time." Jiang Wanying seemed to be unable to explain, and she burst into tears as she spoke. drop down.
