Chu Yitong was pregnant at the wrong time. Although Mrs. Zhuang reluctantly persuaded Mrs. Tao to intercede with Duke Qin and Mrs. Ou, Mrs. Tao also said that she would only persuade them according to the situation. If she agrees, then she can't force it.
Now that she had a miscarriage, she naturally refused to admit that Chu Yitong was pregnant and covered up the scandal of her pregnancy during the filial period. Mrs. Tao was really relieved: "Send some nourishing medicinal materials to tell the child not to be sad." "How many days has it been since she married? She's only been pregnant once. Both husband and wife are in their prime years. Are they worried about having less children in the future?"
Mrs. Tao's image has always been one of treating others with kindness. Although strictly speaking, Chu Yitong and his wife made mistakes first. Even if they had a miscarriage, they should actually have a few words of criticism. However, Mrs. Zhuang, a serious mother-in-law, would not be such a bad person anyway, so she never mentioned the embarrassment of the pregnancy date and treated Chu Yitong as if it was a normal miscarriage.
Mrs. Zhuang is a person who loves her daughter-in-law, and she knows that the reason why Chu Yitong is pregnant is probably because her eldest son is so lustful that she can't control herself, so she will not blame Chu Yitong.
Duke Qin and Mrs. Ou took this matter very seriously, and felt very unhappy when they heard about it. However, when they heard that Chu Yitong had had a miscarriage and were still in pain over it, they felt a little pity: "Xiao Ba's mischief has actually harmed him." Wife! Such a good child, let’s go!”
The two of them decided to give Jiang Yadan some sympathy, while they both chose to appease Chu Yitong.
However, other elders were not so gentle. For example, He Shi, when he heard that Chu Yitong had a miscarriage, he counted the days and sneered at the people around him: "I can't blame this child for not keeping it. He also knows that he shouldn't have given birth." If you give birth, you will be humiliated for the rest of your life. You might as well just go and find another place with rules to reincarnate! After all, you are also the princess of the palace, and you don't understand these rules - I don't know if you really don't understand or you are pretending? "
Although Mr. He spoke harshly in private, he was frightened by Mrs. Zhuang and did not dare to say anything outside.
After waiting for a few days in the first house and seeing no movement from the third house, Lu said to Jiang Huizhi, "He must be afraid of that shrew Zhuang. In that case, Zhi'er, you'd better not go to the fourth house to visit Chu. If I fall into Mr. Zhuang’s hands, I’m afraid I’ll suffer a lot!”
She and Sifang have a grudge against each other for killing her husband. It can be said that they are sworn enemies! At this moment, she didn't want Jiang Huizhi to rub salt into the wounds of the fourth house. She was really afraid that Jiang Huizhi would follow in the footsteps of the Dou family and be killed by Mrs. Zhuang's poison!
Jiang Huizhi had her own idea: "I don't want to go to war, I just want to express my condolences to my aunt. Although the fourth room refused to admit that Chu's miscarriage, they also reported an illness to her bed. As a niece, I went Visiting my aunt, who can say otherwise? If my fourth aunt wants to use me as a punching bag, she has to think about my second great-uncle!"
Mrs. Lu shook her head: "Your second great-uncle really doesn't like Mr. Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang has children and grandchildren, but she is lucky. Her children and grandchildren are all highly valued by their elders! And Mr. Zhuang can do anything!" You... don't blame your aunt for speaking badly. After all, you are only a woman, not as important as a male heir. Zhuang has your nineteenth uncle here... "
"Second Aunt, don't worry. My niece has witnessed what happened to my grandmother that day. Doesn't she know how cruel Mr. Zhuang is?!" A trace of hatred flashed across Jiang Huizhi's eyes, and he said calmly, "It's just that you have forgotten your niece's nineteenth aunt, Qian'er. The talented person brought a message from the palace, saying that the woman wanted to fulfill the promise she made to her third great-uncle before his death, and planned to honor her niece well. She had to choose a very good day to invite her into the palace. Since she treated her niece With such sincerity, it’s natural for my niece to go to her when she’s wronged!”
She sneered, "We'll see if she really loves her niece, or if she's just pretending! If she really loves her niece, her niece will come to her sooner or later to say thank you; if she's just pretending, I'm sorry! My niece is young There is no city government, and the grievances cannot be redressed. Maybe there will be some trouble... Anyway, if we are embarrassed, we will be ashamed together. My niece is fine now, but I hope nothing happens to the one who is already six or seven months pregnant. good!"
Mrs. Lu still hesitated: "That one is in the same group as the fourth room, and the Queen Mother is trying to stand against her. She is in the palace. When the time comes, the Queen Mother will stop our people and say that she can't worry about her pregnancy and let her We work on our own and think of our own solutions..."
"Did Aunt forget that there is still Liu Fang?" Jiang Huizhi snorted, "That one's mother is so stupid that she doesn't pay attention to Liu Fang, her only biological brother, and catches that one with Mi Yin Yin. He refused to let go of the grudges from back then, not only driving Mi Yinyin crazy, but also forcibly divorced her back to Mi's house a few days after her third uncle passed away! But Mi Yinyin had already formed a deadly feud with her! Yin Yin has no children, so it’s no use having her sixth aunt to support her. She has sons and grandsons herself!”
"The sixth aunt is that one's only direct aunt, and that one swore before the third great-uncle's death that he would treat his niece well. When the time comes, the sixth aunt will only have to tell the third great-uncle, for fear of not telling that one, If you don't allow that person to come forward to uphold justice for your niece, it will ruin that person's reputation! Auntie, do you think the third great aunt will not let the sixth aunt come to the palace to deliver a message? No matter how arrogant your mother is, how can she win over your third great aunt!"
Mrs. Lu thought about Jiang Huizhi's plan carefully, and then relented: "Then you can go... But I'd better go with you! Mr. Zhuang is vicious, and even if he can't catch you, he may still find trouble to make you suffer! I If I go with you, I can always stand in your way!"
"It's better for aunt not to go!" Jiang Huizhi shook his head, "My niece has a promise from someone in the palace, so it's not necessarily safe to go to the fourth room! If aunt goes, it will be even more dangerous! If you don't think about yourself, you also think about the two cousins. Think about it, don’t you?”
Thinking of her two young sons and her husband who died in Shazhou in the prime of life, Mrs. Lu felt hatred and pain in her heart. After a while, she said: "Then be careful - remember, it is better to fail in planning than to eat." Losing money right now!”
The aunt and nephew had been planning for a long time and almost burst into tears. Only then did Jiang Huizhi resolutely pack things up and go to the fourth room to visit Chu Yitong - who would have thought that their plan would run into trouble before it even started, because the fourth room had no idea at all. Didn't let her in!
"Mrs. Eighth has caught the cold occasionally and is afraid of being exposed to others, so we are currently not accepting guests in the fourth room. I hope Miss Sun will forgive me!" The doorman was very polite, not arrogant or overbearing at all, but he stood in front of the door very resolutely and refused to let in. Jin-Jiang Huizhi was blocked after several attempts, and the frustration in his heart was beyond words!
While they were in a stalemate, Jiang Yadan happened to come back from outside and hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Uncle Eighth! I heard that Aunt Eighth was sick and wanted to come and have a look, but they didn't let me in! They said they were afraid that I would be infected with the disease. Damn it, how can I be so delicate? Besides, I’m just at home all day long, so what’s the point of being afraid of a minor illness? You can’t just ask me to go back when you come all the way?”
Although Jiang Yadan is a dandy, he is not stupid. How could he not know that she has bad intentions? But she miscalculated: "Little girl, you want to find out the truth about Tong'er's miscarriage, so that she can spread it out and ruin the reputation of my fourth wife?"
For this matter, he was called over and scolded by the Duke of Qin and Mrs. Ou one after another. The Duke of Qin also asked the guards to whip him ten times to remember him, and he was unhappy - if this was his nephew, he might just kick him and suffer him in front of the Duke of Qin. The anger of the beating was vented, but it happened that the niece was of marriageable age, so it was really difficult to beat her.
But as soon as he rolled his eyes, he said, "Really? Then come with me!" He took her in but did not go to his own yard. Instead, he went straight to Mrs. Zhuang, thinking, "You are causing trouble in our room? Go to your mother first and learn some rules!"
But he didn't know that he was playing into Jiang Huizhi's hands by doing this - originally Jiang Huizhi's purpose was to use the injustice he suffered in the fourth room as an excuse to force Xin Fubing to stand up for her - the visit to Chu Yitong was just a cover, and Jiang Yadan thought he had tricked her. The attack is simply a dream!
So after meeting Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang said in a neutral tone: "Why are you here?"
She immediately turned on the pear blossoms and rain mode: "What the fourth aunt said! The grand-nephew just wants to visit the eighth aunt, and has no other intentions! Does the fourth aunt think that the grand-nephew should not come? The grand-nephew really doesn't know what the trouble is. The fourth aunt is not happy because she hates her grandniece so much... "
Mrs. Zhuang didn't like her in the first place. Seeing that she was still pretending in front of her, she was too lazy to be wordy, so she called Mother Chang directly: "Find two people to take her back to the big room - she comes to our room and cries well, even if she is little Dou Not in the capital, Lu doesn’t care, it’s just messing around!”
As soon as she gave the order, Jianghui Zhidun changed from sobbing to wailing!
Now everyone could see that she came here specifically to cause trouble. Jiang Yadan wanted to watch the fun, but unexpectedly, he was teased, and his face turned green with anger! He is a person who often lacks moral integrity. Now he gets angry. He doesn't care whether his nephew can hit his niece or not. He just slaps him in the face: "What are you howling for?"
Although he still knew the importance and had strength in his hands, how could Jiang Huizhi not seize this opportunity? Without saying a word, he just lay on the ground and said nothing!
After she was done, the maids she brought started crying, crying that their lady was dead or alive... Mrs. Zhuang had a sullen face and shouted to the people around her: "Take her back to the big room! If you want to cry, go back to your own room to toss, no?" It will ruin the cleanliness of our four rooms!”
Then he ordered, "Go to the main room and ask Dr. Lin to diagnose her pulse. Don't think that if you manage to get in, you can blame our fourth room!"
Finally, he scolded Jiang Yadan for being stupid, "I have people guarding the door and not accepting anyone who comes to visit. Why do you think that's the reason? You brought her in in such a noisy way, and just now you actually took action - did you hit those little ones outside the room?" Concubine, you can hit your serious niece casually? Have you forgotten what your father told you before he left?"
Mrs. Zhuang's current mood is the same as her daughter-in-law's previous thoughts: What a pig-like teammate!
... In the big room, as soon as Dr. Lin and the people in the fourth room left, Jiang Huizhi opened her eyes, pressed the handkerchief on her face, and said to Mrs. Lu who was guarding the bed: "Aunt Six, I'd like to see you there." Go talk!”
"Of course!" Ms. Lu looked at her face distressedly and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry! Your fifth aunt is very stubborn. She has been pressing her harder and harder these days. Your sixth aunt is almost overwhelmed by her. It’s driving me crazy! Now that we’re asking her to form an alliance, she has absolutely no reason to refuse!”
That's exactly what happened - as soon as Mi heard that the people sent by the Lu family were trying to plot against Xin Fubing, she agreed without hesitation!
Her confidants advised her: "Why do you need to go into such troubled waters? With the status of the Sixth Master, no matter which side wins, the wealth in our house is indispensable!"
"Wealth is indispensable, but we have to be humiliated over and over again in front of that cheap servant Jiang Tianhe!" Mi said through gritted teeth, "I would rather kneel down and kowtow three times to my niece and granddaughter in the future than to It’s a bargain for Jiang Tianhe and Xin Fubing’s mother and daughter!”
Then he said, "Besides, Jiang Tianhe hates me so much, do you think it will be a good thing for our house if Xin Fubing takes over the Taishi Palace in the future?!"
