Shao Wanru did not expect to see E Niang so soon. However, E Niang's identity was different today. She was no longer the legendary concubine of the censor's daughter.
Today is the day to be recorded in the genealogy. Only E Niang is here. Her daughter has also entered the Xingguo Hou Mansion, but she is very ill and cannot even get out of bed. E Niang is the only one who has recorded this in the genealogy. People are tired.
Shao Wanru did not expect to see not only several clan elders here, but also Mrs. Wen Xiang with a solemn face, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.
Next to Mrs. Wenxiang is Gu Xishu. She is sitting next to Mrs. Wenxiang. She looks very soft and well-behaved. She is also extremely kind-hearted when she looks up. If it weren't for Shao Wanru's appearance in this life and the previous life. Having dealt with her before, I was afraid that she would be confused by her appearance, but she didn't need it right now. Her identity was enough for Gu Xishu to avoid her.
Seeing Shao Wanru come in, Mrs. Wenxiang stood up holding the maid's hand to salute Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru smiled slightly and told Yujie softly: "Hurry and help Mrs. Wenxiang sit down."
Yu Jie stepped forward and helped the maid to help Mrs. Wen Xiang sit down.
There were many people in the hall, but Shao Wanru was the only one missing. Even Shao Yuanhao specially asked for leave today. At this time, he was sitting on Shao Wanru, and his eyes fell lightly on the eldest brother Shao Huaan who was sitting opposite him. .
This eldest brother, whom he respected and admired the most in the past, now only had a complicated look in his eyes.
"How are Mrs. Wen Xiang's legs feeling better?" After sitting down, Shao Wanru asked Mrs. Wen Xiang sitting aside.
"Thank you very much, Princess Chen. I have to thank Princess Chen for what happened in Huaguang Temple that day. I originally came here early to express my gratitude, but my legs and feet must be old and it is not convenient for a while." Mrs. Wen Xiang said with a bitter smile.
When she was at Huaguang Temple, Shao Wanru went to see Mrs. Wenxiang once at the beginning, but she didn't see Mrs. Wenxiang herself that time. She was stopped by Gu Xishu, for fear that she would become suspicious after seeing E Niang. Shao Wanru had never been there before, but now it was the first time he saw Mrs. Wen Xiang after she fell.
"Mrs. Wenxiang is too polite." Shao Wanru smiled, his watery eyes sliding over Mrs. Wenxiang's face with some doubts, "Mrs. Wenxiang is here today..."
Today's matter is considered a family matter in the Xingguo Hou Mansion, and it is not appropriate for Mrs. Wen Xiang, an outsider, to come here.
"Mrs. Lu saved my life when we were on the mountain. This time she entered the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Because of Mrs. Jiang's affairs, it was inconvenient to welcome the bride with great fanfare, but she couldn't even have a family member. I will act as her here. Her natal family also supports her." Mrs. Wen Xiang said with a smile.
"Mrs. Wen Xiang wants to support Mr. Lu?" Shao Wanru asked with a faint look.
"Actually, it's not a support. It's just seeing her lonely. She was originally the daughter of a noble family, but because of... she ended up in this situation, which is always unsatisfactory." Mrs. Wen Xiang said gently.
"Mrs. Wen Xiang is familiar with her?" Shao Wanru raised his eyes, looking a little serious.
"This..." Mrs. Wen Xiang was troubled by several consecutive questions. Remembering what Wen Xiang had warned her last night, she felt inexplicably uneasy. She glanced sideways at Lu Eniang, who was standing aside with her head bowed, "I'm not very familiar either. , Mrs. Lu is a kind person, and her experience makes people sympathize."
Mrs. Wenxiang's words were very vague.
But no matter how vague she said, the purpose of her visit today was very clear.
Obviously, he wanted to support E Niang and help her establish herself in the Xingguo Marquis Mansion.
A trace of ridicule flashed silently in Shao Wanru's eyes. Mrs. Wenxiang has never been a fool, but such a person is unwilling to investigate too much, mainly because of Gu Xishu, what Gu Xishu said, she Just believe in whatever you want, blindly believe in the person you raised since childhood, but because you believe in her, you trample on other people's daughters at will. On the surface, you just dote on your own niece, but in fact, you are so selfish.
She didn't want to see Gu Xishu's unhappiness, and would rather cover it up with more ruthless behavior, and she could pretend she couldn't see it.
She can ignore the suffering of others as long as it does not harm her own interests.
In the last life, when he was driven away under that situation, he actually had the intention of killing her. He was homeless, had such a reputation, and had no one to serve him. If not... he would have been alone. To be able to die in a dirty corner, from this point of view, Mrs. Wen Xiang is not just Gu Xishu's accomplice.
In this life, she wants to reveal Gu Xishu's true face and let Mrs. Wenxiang see what kind of person the woman she protects wholeheartedly is.
The Third Fang also came today. It was the day when E Niang entered the family tree, and it was also the day when their First Fang was officially separated in the family tree.
The third lady was too sick to get up. Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing came here by themselves and sat down quietly at this time.
Now that everyone has arrived, Mrs. Wen Xiang looked at the people around her and said with a smile: "Princess Chen, since everyone has arrived, why not go and write down Mrs. Lu's name together. From now on, she will She is the Madam Hou of Xingguo Hou Mansion."
Since the Jiang family is no longer here, and E Niang has entered the palace as a common wife, if Shao Jing asks for the title after a while, the title of Madam Hou will naturally fall on E Niang.
"Why should a little ordinary wife be the wife of a marquis?" Mr. Shao suddenly rolled his eyes and said displeased.
He was really in a bad mood. He was originally the third master of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Although he had received many benefits, he was separated. It was because of this woman. If this despicable woman had not come in, my wife would not have done it. Worried about her daughter's marriage, she was determined to separate.
After returning home, the third wife also analyzed the matter with him. Although Mr. Shao was a little unhappy before, it was just dissatisfaction. After that, he felt angry. Mr. Jiang was not a good person, but this woman didn't look like him at all. What a good thing, the family was separated because of such a despicable daughter. The more Mr. Shao thought about it, the more angry he became.
He was so angry and his words were so harsh that Shao Jing couldn't bear it anymore in front of so many people. His face darkened and he said sternly: "Third brother, why are you talking?"
"Did I make a mistake? Second brother, you really went to great lengths to get in for such a woman. For her, you would rather kick us out of the same room. I don't look at you as a stunning beauty today, just such a woman." , the maids and mothers-in-law in the house are much better looking than her, and the second brother really can’t do it because she kicked out our third bedroom.”
Third Master Shao was angry, and tried his best to bury E Niang, saying that E Niang was like a servant like a maid and a mother-in-law, and he also blamed Shao Jing for the third lady's separation of the family.
Shao Jing was furious and slammed his hand on the table, "Why are you talking? Do I want to drive you away?"
Shao Jing was also very angry because he was annoyed and anxious about the separation of the third house.
"why not
yes? Second brother, isn't this because of the daughter he raised from another family? You actually want to drive away my two daughters for the sake of this daughter who was raised outside the family. Second brother, you are so kind! "Mr. Shao was so angry that the third lady was crying, and all his anger was directed at Shao Jing.
In the past, he had always been afraid of Shao Jing, but he had a good temper. Now that he was angry, he didn't have so many scruples. Besides, the third lady also asked him to make a fuss today and breathe a sigh of relief.
For so many years, the third bedroom has been weak and bullied by the second bedroom. This bad temper has never come out. Now he doesn't have so many scruples. Mr. Shao is here to cause trouble today.
These words became more and more unpleasant as he said them. Shao Jing was so angry that he wanted to give his younger brother a slap in the face, but there were so many people at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to do it.
"Second brother, are you feeling guilty? Such a woman..." Third Master's eyes fell on E Niang, and he smacked his lips mockingly, "Second brother, you didn't find this woman from some building, did you? Talking about the daughter of the Yushi Mansion, if she is really the daughter of the Yushi Mansion, how could such a thing happen? If the daughter of a family is in trouble and can be used as a concubine, it is better to commit suicide to show chastity."
The clan elders who said this nodded, and they actually thought so too.
It's hard to say what a troubled daughter should do, but she wants to be someone else's wife. It's indeed possible for such a woman to end up in a building.
There was no one around the young lady, and she had never seen much of the world. It was understandable that she was betrayed. Could it be that this Empress was really found from the building? After thinking about it, several clan elders took a look at it each and thought it would be better to take another look.
Although they had received orders from Shao Jing before, if a woman from the building were to be appointed to the Xingguo Hou Mansion, how could the head lady of the Shao clan and the other daughters of the Shao clan have the honor to marry in the future.
Whoever's family doesn't have one or two daughters or granddaughters, even if it's not for themselves, they have to plan for their daughters and granddaughters.
"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!" Shao Jing was angry and his face was ashen.
"Second brother is really angry. It seems true. Second brother has a guilty conscience." The third master looked at Shao Jing provocatively and said. He was also willing to go all out now. With all his courage, he had to make it impossible for Shao Jing to recover. He thought She could not suppress her anger no matter how hard she thought that Shao Jing was a maid and her daughter had become a side girl.
Even if Shao Jing beat him today, he would still say these words.
"You..." Shao Jing stood up with cold eyes. He was so angry that he really wanted to take action.
"What do you mean, second brother? Could it be that you have become such a despicable woman from a building and you want to beat your own brother?" The third master stood up and jumped on his feet and said angrily.
The reaction was even stronger than Shao Jing's. The clan elders saw that it was not good and hurriedly came over to persuade them and pulled the two brothers back to sit down again.
Seeing the chaos, Mrs. Wen Xiang frowned. No wonder Xi Shu and E Niang begged her to come. The Xingguo Marquis Mansion clearly couldn't treat E Niang well. These words were so unpleasant and really irritating. .
"Princess Chen." He glanced over and saw Shao Wanru sitting aside, and smiled.
"What's the matter?" Shao Wanru lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves. After hearing this, his watery eyes were raised, his eyes were quiet and gentle, and he didn't seem to be affected by the noise just now.
Mrs. Wenxiang felt inexplicably depressed.
