Not only was Mu Huanqing not angry, but she respectfully responded, and at the same time agreed, "Mother-in-law and aunt are right, just like my father, there are five aunties in the backyard! Father-in-law also has four aunties in the backyard, not only that, I heard that There are four or five concubines waiting for the high-ranking officials and gentlemen of the same rank as our Houye, and the backyard of our Zhenyuan Houfu cannot be left behind. The Houye is a talented person with a promising future. The last six concubines will not be wronged by the Marquis.”
She spoke with sincerity, and at the same time volunteered herself. If necessary, she was willing to inquire. She would list all the noble girls in good conditions and show them to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to see the details together.
She spoke happily, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both speechless for a while. After she left, the old lady of Hou Mansion turned to look at her daughter.
"You said what she just said, is it true or false?"
Fu Rong pouted and snorted, "Of course it's fake, I don't believe she has such a big belly, so she has to add so many people to the eldest brother's house."
The old lady nodded in agreement. "This shepherd's daughter is really not simple. She is still newly married, and her husband accepts her aunt into the door. She can be so calm that she can't see the difference at all. In turn, she has to accept more aunts for her husband. Those people she mentioned are indeed beneficial to our Houfu, and the analysis is quite reasonable, and I am really moved."
Fu Rong widened her eyes in surprise. "Mother, you don't really want to add so many concubines for eldest brother, do you?"
The old lady gave her daughter a blank look. "You're stupid, your eldest brother only accepted Ruoyou in less than ten days after he got married. We have to beware of that old fox surnamed Mu sue your eldest brother at the emperor's place. How can you really add another aunt? What's more, your eldest brother's The temperament is still not willing!"
Speaking of Mu, Fu Rong snorted coldly. "If it wasn't for the shepherd's plan to force the eldest brother to marry that woman, the cousin would not be a concubine." There are too many cousins.
She felt distressed when she thought of cousin Ruoyou's grievance, so she naturally put the account on Mu Huanqing's head.
The old lady shook her head. "I'm married, the emperor's decree cannot be violated, so I have to feel sorry for Ruoyou. Although I am a concubine, I will not let Ruoyou suffer. To put it bluntly, that name is only for outsiders to see, and the door is closed. Come on, you can live the same life as Madam, and your elder brother and I will protect her."
Fu Rong smiled and said, "I comforted my cousin in the same way. So what if it was a concubine? It depends on who the eldest brother likes. As long as he gives birth to a son, the position of the future prince has not yet fallen into her hands, and the surname is not Mu. I thought about it."
The old lady and her daughter were chatting and laughing in the room, and Si Bo quietly left without knowing a figure outside the window.
Mu Huanqing listened to all these words word for word, she shook her head, it was true that the backyards of each family were similar, intriguing and suspicious.
She performed light work and quietly left, landed silently at the place where the maid was waiting, pretended that she had just finished using the toilet and came out, nothing happened, and continued to walk towards her yard.
After Zhenyuan Hou accepted Aunt Lin, she stayed in Aunt Lin's house for more than two months, and never entered Mu Huanqing's yard.
After a long time, some good people started to gossip about Concubine Lin in Mu Huanqing's ears, and deliberately provoke right and wrong, saying that Lord Hou is doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, so it's fine if the sister-in-law doesn't help sister-in-law, and she also helps the mother-in-law to dominate Lord Hou. of petting.
The people who said these words to her were Fu Rui, the unmarried concubine of the old marquis, and the third daughter-in-law. The two approached her for an excuse, and they seemed to be close. Apart from inquiring about their privacy, they always revealed something in their words. yes or no.
Mu Huanqing knew the battle between the old Houye's aunties and the long-term disagreement between the third- and fourth-family daughters-in-law. They sounded like they were on her side, but they wanted to borrow her. Force to suppress the big house girl.
But this is a matter between her and the Hou Ye, what to do with others
Mu Huanqing said with a smile, "I'm not in good health. With Concubine Lin helping to serve the Hou Ye, I'm too happy to be happy."
"That's not what I said, my sister-in-law is the lady of the Hou Mansion, so what kind of onion is Aunt Lin?"
"She's not a green onion, she's a delicate peony, she's beautiful!"
Fu Rui choked on hearing this, and then reluctantly emphasized. "But Lord Hou shouldn't just ignore you like this!"
Mu Huanqing replied strangely: "Huh? He didn't neglect me!"
"This...he didn't even enter your house..."
"I didn't go into his house either."
"I mean... you haven't..."
"Nothing?" She opened her eyes in confusion.
"Uh... you really don't mind?"
"What do you mind?"
"… "
Some people are well aware of some words, and they will not break it. For example, she and Hou Ye have been married for a month but have not yet consummated their marriage. Hou Ye will not enter her house at all, but Mu Huanqing is deliberately pretending to be stupid. Break it down and continue to stay peacefully in her yard.
As long as she doesn't respond to other people's words, there is no way for others to create right and wrong.
So the rumors about Mu Huanqing changed again. Some people say that she is a person who is afraid of things and is as timid as a mouse; some people say that she is a clever trick, just to please the Lord. She is so knowledgeable and interesting, and the human heart is made of flesh. Soft-hearted.
After Mu Huanqing heard those rumors, she just laughed it off. She tried her best not to fall into the routine of fighting in the back house, but she didn't know some things and some people that she couldn't avoid if she didn't want to.
After Fu Yanlin went down to court today, he was called into the imperial study by the emperor. After half an hour, he walked out of the imperial study with a gloomy face.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he rushed out of the city gate and went straight to the Black Wolf Camp to train troops.
It was not so much a training exercise, but they were called into the mountains, and they were forced to do so under the scorching sun. The confidants and lieutenants of the commander-in-chief were also complaining in their hearts, and they were all guessing who had offended the commander. Well, they suffered their subordinates.
Fu Yanlin also practiced wildly with everyone. Those who couldn't keep up with him would be kicked into the river to continue their exercises. Those who could keep up would be rewarded and punished with extra food for dinner today, so everyone worked hard.
It was not until the sun went down that Fu Yanlin led the group back to the barracks, while he rode back to the Hou residence.
He threw the reins to the stable boy, strode into the bathroom, undressed, poured cold water on his head, and took a shower. After dinner, he ordered someone to bring a barrel of spirits from the wine cellar and poured it into his stomach one by one. His face was gloomy, and the servants were so frightened that no one dared to step forward.
He couldn't not be angry. As soon as he left the palace today, he learned from the spies that before him, Mr. Mu had already gone to see the emperor, and after a while, the emperor sent someone to pass him into the imperial study.
Although the emperor was not angry, he warned him coldly, saying that if he was too busy with military affairs and felt that the rest days were not enough, he would give him more rest days so that he would have enough time to develop a good relationship with his new wife. Otherwise, the position of this general soldier can also be given to others to sit.
He knew immediately that it was not enough for the old fox Mu Cangying to put his daughter to him, and he actually took care of his sexual affairs. This was because the emperor warned him that even if he loved his concubine, there was only one Mrs. Houfu. She is the shepherd's daughter.
No matter how many aunts he takes, he has to marry the shepherd's daughter.
Fu Yanlin sneered. But it's just a round house.
He poured the last wine into his mouth, threw away the wine glass, stood up, and strode towards Mu Huanqing's yard.
At this time, Mu Huanqing had already gone to bed and was sleeping soundly until someone kicked her door, and she immediately sat up alertly.
"Who?" She secretly used her inner strength and prepared to attack.
"In addition to Ben Hou, who else will enter your house?" The cold voice came from the darkness, which made her stunned for a moment.
Lord Hou? Her heart skipped a beat. He didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, why did he suddenly come here
Fu Yanlin came all the way in the dark, and didn't even have a lamp, and the servants who met the night watch were also told to get out, so no one notified her.
He closed the door, and while taking off his clothes, he walked towards her. The strong aura that belonged to him was shrouded in the sky, and he went to bed and directly pressed her down.
"What are you doing?" Mu Huanqing reflexively stretched out her hand to push back, but what she touched was her naked chest.
"Ben Hou went to your bed in the middle of the night, what do you think I want to do?"
His breath was already approaching, blowing on her face, and he covered the round on her right with one hand, rubbing it recklessly. This kind of stimulation caused her to tremble, and she immediately understood his intention.
Is he going to want her tonight
It happened so suddenly that she was not mentally prepared at all. After marrying into the Hou Mansion, she was upset for the first time. After all, it was the first time. She couldn't be as calm as usual, but soon, the smell of alcohol on Fu Yanlin's body brought her back to her senses.
"Fu Yanlin, did you go to the wrong room? Do you know who I am?" She pushed back with both hands, still struggling, hoping that he was really drunk and went to the wrong room.
This woman finally knew that she was nervous. From the time she entered the Hou residence, someone reported all her actions to him. Even if he neglected her, she remained calm as usual. Even when facing him, she was not surprised until this moment. .
He sneered, and the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time was somewhat pleased by her panic.
