Concubine Xiao raised her lips and smiled, and looked at Princess Chaoren suspiciously, "Princess Cai just said that noble people forget things, how could Xiaojiu remember that my grandfather didn't help his aunt until his death, and my grandmother is the only wife in the family tree of Xiao. And only my father..."
"Oh, no, it was my grandfather who intended to raise my aunt to be his wife. Unfortunately, the tribe objected and disagreed, and even my grandfather's name was erased later. In this way, I am afraid that even the children of the outer room are inferior, not to mention the princess. An old lady, the princess must have forgotten that my grandmother is the princess's aunt. In terms of seniority, my grandmother is an elder. In terms of status, my grandmother is a first-class lady, and the princess has neither a fief nor a mandate. It’s all just canonized according to the law, married and obeyed her husband, and the princess still calls herself the princess, so it’s possible that the second uncle entered the Prince An’s mansion and became the princess’s matriarch?"
These questions made Princess Chaoren's complexion completely changed, "Presumptuous, this is your attitude when talking to your elders. Your mother left early, and the Fan family was born in a humble family. No wonder you were taught to be so ignorant of etiquette!"
Aunt Du's complexion was not much better either. They rushed all the way back to the capital, just wanting to feel proud, and they couldn't wait to come to the prime minister's mansion to show off, but unexpectedly, they were severely ridiculed.
Aunt Du is not without resentment towards Princess Chaoren at the moment. It has been fifteen years since she married Xiao Tan, and she has not fulfilled the responsibility of a daughter-in-law.
Because of the status of Princess Chaoren, Aunt Du did not dare to show her any color at all, and she never let Princess Chaoren serve for a day.
Now being so blatantly despised her son, Aunt Du felt a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't swallow it, she was really useless.
Princess Chaoren's words were sharp, and she pointed at Xiao Concubine, as if Xiao Concubine was not on the stage.
Concubine Xiao smiled angrily, "I don't know if the princess thinks what Xiao Jiu said is wrong. Xiao Jiu is just explaining the facts, or are the rules of women's morality and precepts in Kyoto different from those taught in Yicheng?"
This made me ponder over it patiently. Mingjiao in the whole East is the same, but the post city is different. Doesn't this imply that King An occupies the land as king and intends to plot rebellion.
Princess Chaoren didn't expect Xiao Concubine to be so eloquent, unwilling to suffer at all, and also flexible in mind, to be able to turn against the general.
The words seem to be unintentional, but there are hidden mysteries everywhere, and if you pay attention, you will answer wrong.
Princess Chaoren smiled, "Naturally, the rules are the same, but no matter where you go in the world, there is no reason for the younger generation to contradict the elders. I just said something in a moment of impatience, but it was for the sake of my own good." of."
Xiao Yuwei smiled, her delicate and charming face was like a peony flower, it must be the very delicate one, graceful and luxurious, not at all like the brainless one in the rumors.
"Second Aunt, you are an elder, Xiao Jiu dares to contradict you, it is Xiao Jiu's fault, Xiao Jiu apologized to you."
With a smile on her face, Concubine Xiao squatted down and saluted Princess Chaoren, with an excellent attitude of admitting her mistakes.
Princess Chaoren saw her subdued, and said, "You are still young, and there is still time to change it slowly in the future, so don't be willful and arrogant."
No matter how Princess Chaoren belittled Xiao Concubine, Xiao Concubine listened quietly, without a trace of impatience on her face, she squatted and remained motionless.
Rong Yue wanted to say something but was stopped by Miss Xiao's wink, so she didn't speak.
Princess Chaoren had a gentle and harmless smile on her face, and reprimanded Concubine Xiao with an elder attitude, until half an hour passed before saying, "Xiao Jiu, don't hate me, I'm thinking about your future , don’t do stupid things when your head gets hot, a daughter’s family should be as reserved and delicate as a daughter’s family, otherwise, when you get married in the future, you won’t be able to straighten your back.”
"Xiao Jiu understands, thank you Second Aunt for teaching."
Xiao Concubine smiled, there was no trace of annoyance on her face, this indifferent posture alone was enough to satisfy her.
Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Princess Chaoren didn't want to be too harsh, and said slowly, "Okay, since you already know your mistake, how can I be an elder and hold on to you and a junior, get up quickly Bar."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
After the words fell, Xiao Concubine stood up slowly, her petite and slender figure was as motionless as a mountain, and slightly raised her eyes to look at Princess Ren, "Second Aunt, it was Xiao Jiu who was ignorant to offend Second Aunt, since Second Aunt is angry It's gone, shouldn't it be time to visit grandma?"
Princess Chaoren paused when she was about to sit down, her eyes suddenly flashed sharply, and she stared at Xiao Concubine, "What did you say?"
Concubine Xiao stepped back pretending to be frightened, and Mrs. Xiao immediately waved at Concubine Xiao, "Xiao Jiu, come to grandma."
Mrs. Xiao held the back of Concubine Xiao's hand tightly, and smiled lovingly, "Xiao Jiu is a person who understands etiquette. On the contrary, those who talk about etiquette all day long, pretending to forget their duties, are the real ones. How can Xiao Jiu be the same as him who has lost his upbringing?"
Mrs. Xiao's sarcasm made the face of Princess Chaoren turn red, and she didn't stand or sit.
"Sister, Xiao Jiu is still young, so why are you so strict? It's all because of Fan's restlessness and good intentions, who taught Xiao Jiu to be like this. The princess is also for Xiao Jiu's good, and the words are not rough."
Seeing this, Aunt Du quickly excused Princess Chaoren. Princess Chaoren was relieved when she heard the words, and sat on a chair, pretending that she did not understand Concubine Xiao's words.
It's no wonder that a pro-wife daughter and step-wife can get along well, it's all because Xiao Concubine is so stupid, she is still helping to count the money after being sold, Princess Chaoren sneered from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Aunt Du with a half-smile, "How can Mrs. Fan say that she was also a concubine who has seen the big world? It doesn't seem like some people deceive themselves and others, but they just take their own humiliation. Mrs. Du, Xiao Tan is just Did you raise it by yourself, how can anyone despise their own son?"
Mrs. Xiao's words were like a stab at the spine, and she directly slapped Aunt Du and Princess Chaoren in the face, saying that Fan's status was not enough to teach Concubine Xiao, and she didn't look at her own status in the mirror.
The typical laugh is inferior to others.
When Aunt Du heard the words, her heart felt oppressed, she clenched her fists tightly, her face was livid.
Mrs. Xiao's complexion remained the same, she only occasionally quarreled, but several people were so choked that they could not speak.
"Old madam, how can this be generalized? Husband is the legitimate son recognized by his father, and has been raised by his own hands..."
Princess Chaoren couldn't help seeing others slandering Xiao Tan again and again, before she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Xiao picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Princess Chaoren.
"Bang!" With a sound, the teacup shattered to the ground at Princess Chaoren's feet.
Princess Chaoren was taken aback, and twisted her eyebrows in displeasure.
"Presumptuous! Is this how you talk to your elders?" Mrs. Xiao said with a straight face, "It's just that you don't have my aunt in your eyes, and it's not up to you to dictate the affairs of the Xiangfu."
"Chaoren, don't forget your identity. This is not Prince An's Mansion. Let you go wild. If you don't recognize me as the aunt, why come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find fault. Mrs. Du, if you have the ability to have a son, why don't you have the ability to raise your daughter-in-law? This upbringing has been eaten into the belly of a dog, it is not as sensible as a child, it has lost the reputation of the Xiao family!"
It was only then that Mrs. Xiao bluntly accused that it was worthless to slander Princess Chaoren, and incidentally stimulated Aunt Du's inability to control her daughter-in-law.
Princess Chaoren quickly reacted, clenched her fists tightly, and said coldly, "The old lady is so majestic..."
How could Princess Chaoren not understand that Mrs. Xiao was trying to find a place for Concubine Xiao, so she was deliberately embarrassing her.
"Compared to the majesty and prestige, it is not as good as the princess. He didn't pay attention to anyone when he came here. I don't know if the princess is here to congratulate him, or he is deliberately looking for trouble."
Mrs. Xiao sneered, "If you have doubts, you can ask the Xiao family to check if there is your name, Princess Chaoren!"
Princess Chaoren's face was ashen, and she was immediately stabbed to death. She wanted Xiao Tan to be included in the Xiao family tree when she came back this time. Now Xiao Tan can't even be counted as a side branch.
In the past, Princess Chaoren didn't care much about it. As the two children got older and needed to find their in-laws, they realized the importance of this family relative.
Especially the big families in Kyoto are very fond of this, so Princess Chaoren went to the clan as soon as he returned to Kyoto, and used both soft and hard methods against the family members in charge of the Xiao family, but everyone was surprisingly unanimous. The genealogy requires the consent of Mrs. Xiao, the aunt.
Mrs. Xiao, the aunt, doesn't nod, who dares to let the second room be on the genealogy easily
Princess Chaoren tolerated it again and again, Mrs. Xiao made it clear that it was a threat, who told Princess Chaoren to use her status as an elder to teach Concubine Xiao first, if she stepped out of the door, the reputation of being unfilial to her elders would spread.
They finally came to the capital, and if the Prime Minister used this as an excuse to drive them out of the capital, no one would be able to help them.
After a long time, Princess Chaoren forced a smile.
"I'm afraid the old lady misunderstood. Chaoren didn't mean that. When Chaoren and her husband got married, the old lady wasn't there and didn't drink a cup of daughter-in-law's tea. How dare Chaoren bark and break the rules."
Just at this moment, Nanny Ruan entered the door holding a cup of new tea.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, Mrs. Xiao didn't speak, she was quietly waiting for something.
Princess Chaoren's face was tense, she took a deep breath, smiled and stepped forward to hold the teacup in Ruan Nanny's hand.
"Princess, hold it steady." Seeing her trembling hands, Nanny Ruan couldn't help reminding her.
Princess Chaoren snorted, and walked towards Mrs. Xiao step by step while holding the teacup tightly. Nanny Ruan immediately brought a cushion and placed it under Mrs. Xiao's knees.
Princess Chaoren froze for a moment, glared at Nanny Ruan in displeasure, gritted her teeth tightly and plopped down on the mat.
"Mother, please drink tea."
Seeing this, Aunt Du turned her head away with an embarrassing expression. She has been bullied by Mrs. Xiao all her life, and she was even humiliated at the end. Aunt Du's greatest wish is to turn over and overwhelm Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao still kept a warm and kind smile on her face, and said lightly, "Chaoren, although you didn't serve by my side, but since you called your mother, you have to say something, as the saying goes , marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, since you are married to Xiao Tan, don't dislike her..."
Mrs. Xiao spoke slowly, not in a hurry, and returned to her exactly what Princess Chaoren had said to reprimand Xiao Concubine.
"Sister..." Aunt Du couldn't stand it, and she was hypocritical for giving her three points of face.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Aunt Du, then stretched out her hand to cover her forehead, "Nurse Ruan, hurry up and get the imperial doctor, maybe I was impatient just now, but suddenly I feel uncomfortable in my body, hey, old people are useless."
"Grandmother, are you okay? The imperial doctor told you not to get angry. You have been doing well for a while. Why did you suddenly get sick? If father knew about it, he should be anxious."
Concubine Xiao kept helping Mrs. Xiao, although her face was anxious, but her eyes were smiling, she loved Mrs. Xiao very much, she had a clear distinction between love and hate.
Seeing this, Mrs. Du felt as if she had swallowed a dead fly, holding her breath but unable to attack. Isn't this clearly saying that Mrs. Xiao was angry with them.
Rong Yue also immediately stepped forward to care, "Old lady, calm down, you don't want to be angry with someone who has nothing to do with you, lest you get so angry that it's not worth it. If you don't like it, just don't allow you to enter the house in the future. This housekeeper should be punished. What a cat or a dog Let them all in."
Princess Chaoren was about to have a seizure, and the tea in her hand kept overflowing, spilling on the back of her hand, and it was scorching hot.
It took a long time for Mrs. Xiao to calm down, and she glanced at Princess Ren, "Forget it, I don't have the good fortune to drink this daughter-in-law tea. Let's talk about it later, and I won't send you off today."
Old Mrs. Xiao didn't even bother to drink tea. After drinking tea, wouldn't it mean that she recognized Princess Chaoren's status as the bastard's daughter-in-law? Old Mrs. Xiao was not stupid, she just wanted to dislike Princess Chaoren.
