"Yeah." Madam Ling nodded, "You know, after giving birth to Xu'er, Mother's body is still recuperating..."
Ling Yu also felt very helpless when she heard what she said. Yang Ruo had indeed suffered a lot in order to give birth to her younger brother. It took eleven years before she gave birth to Ling Xu. Before that, Aunt Zhang had already given birth to two sons. Two or three years younger than her.
Every time he mentioned it, Yang Ruo always sighed, Ling Yu felt that the other party's temper had been worn down a lot by these years of trouble.
Yang Ruo turned a blind eye to what Aunt Zhang did, and just wanted to watch Ling Xu grow up.
Ling Yu took a sip of tea lightly, "Actually, the prince may not come back, and I can't guarantee it."
"Yu'er, didn't you just say that the prince will come?" Madam Ling became anxious again, "If the prince doesn't come, how will you explain to grandma this time?"
Mrs. Ling was already dissatisfied with what happened last time. This time, it was her old man's birthday party. If something happened, it would be terrible.
"Aren't I anxious to see my mother, afraid that you will be worried? Just outside the door, Aunt Zhang spoke so loudly, didn't she just want to embarrass me?" Ling Yu lowered her head and threw out a sentence.
"This..." Mrs. Ling didn't seem to pay attention, she only focused on Ling Yu just now, so she didn't want to think about these things.
"It's good if she can't see me. She can talk in front of grandma and father. Now she is in charge of the house, and everyone is trying to save her face. If I fall down in the future, she will definitely step on me." Ling Yu said firmly.
Madam Ling's eyes sank a little.
Over the years, she really didn't care about many things.
"My mother always said that it is good for a family to be harmonious. As the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, why can an aunt say a few words? The concubine and the legitimate son enjoy the same treatment. Has mother ever thought about it?" Ling Yu's eyes fell on her On the body, "If one day, this Xiangfu is handed over to a concubine, does mother think it is possible?"
"Your father wouldn't do that." Madam Ling shook her head.
"Aunt Ling is very ambitious." Ling Yu met her eyes, her dark eyes were calm, and said every word, "Xu'er is still young, and mother still wants to protect him from growing up."
Madam Ling's pupils suddenly shrank.
She naturally knew what Ling Yu was talking about. If something happened to her son, there would be no one to inherit the Xiangfu, so it must be in the hands of Aunt Zhang and her three mothers.
"I can no longer help Xu'er. If my mother continues like this, there will be no place for us in this prime minister's mansion." Ling Yu spoke a little more seriously.
At first, when she learned that she was going to marry Ji Yang, Mrs. Ling gave her a good face and prepared a lot of dowry for her, telling her not to forget the Ling family.
Since she was not favored by Ji Yang, Mrs. Ling's expression changed, and her attitude towards her was no longer the same as before.
What's more serious is that Yang Ruo also attributed this to her own fault, hiding in her turtle shell and feeling sorry for her.
"Then mother, what should mother do?" Madam Ling panicked.
Ling Xu was less than three years old.
"First step, mother should be in charge of the house. Except for pampering concubines and destroying wives, no family in the city will let concubines be in charge of the house. This prime minister's mansion will be Xuer's in the future." Ling Yu said to her.
"But your grandmother..." Mrs. Ling was in a dilemma, how should she speak
"Mother, why are you embarrassed? After you recover, Aunt Zhang will take the initiative to back down. Now, she is clearly putting herself in the position of the main wife."
"She dares!" Mrs. Ling's thoughts in her bones did not allow Aunt Zhang to have such thoughts.
A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine.
How can we sit on an equal footing
"Except for a title, what she is doing now, the relationship network she has established, and the wives she has contacted, who are they, mother, you know better than me."
Madam Ling's complexion slowly changed.
In the past few years, Aunt Zhang has indeed done too many things, and she has become friends with many wives. Even this time, she can only intervene in a small part of the organization of the birthday banquet.
The rest are all arranged by Aunt Zhang.
Ling Yu only clicked to the end.
Some things are like boiling frogs in warm water, it is too late in the end.
She was not favored in the palace before, but her majesty as a concubine cannot be violated by anyone. If she backs down and lets a concubine step on her feet, then why should she be a concubine
"Sister, sister."
A childish voice came, and a small figure ran in, followed by a few maidservants.
"elder sister."
Ling Xu ran to Ling Yu's side and hugged her leg.
"Xu Xu, you've grown taller again." Ling Yu hugged him up, looked at the innocent face of the other party, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was raised, which became softer.
Before, Ling Wei was worried about the two concubines who were likely to inherit the prime minister's mansion. Mrs. Ling favored Aunt Zhang, thinking that Yang Ruo's family had airs and would not flatter her.
Whether Yang Ruo has a boy or not, so their mother and daughter are treated with indifference. Many times they choose to let things go, and they don't want to cause trouble to make Mrs. Ling's impression bad again.
However, this time when she married into the palace, she completely changed her mind. No matter what, she was the official wife. The emperor decreed that Ming Media was marrying in.
As a concubine, she can still teach her a lesson.
Good people being bullied.
Taking a step back, she taught Du Jiaoer that day, so what if Ji Yang took sides? She is the concubine appointed by the emperor, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, and Ji Yang will not do too much to her.
"Why did my sister take so long to come back? It took three days." Ling Xu pouted his mouth and stretched out his fingers before he could speak clearly, "I miss my sister so much."
"My sister misses you too." Ling Yu said with a bit of sadness.
Married as a woman, this is no longer the home she wants to come back to.
"Then sister lives here, don't leave." Ling Xu hugged her, "The villain will bully my sister."
"Who said the villain bullied my sister?" Ling Yu was curious.
"They all said that the big villain doesn't want a sister, and no one wants a sister."
"Xu'er!" Madam Ling's face suddenly darkened, and she reprimanded lightly.
Ling Xu was rarely raped by his mother, so his eyes were red immediately, and he hugged Ling Yu, "Sister... don't leave, don't be with the big villain, here."
He said, crying loudly.
