The two women looked at me and I looked at you, and they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
If there is something wrong with Mrs. Shizi, they really can't afford to go around, but the eldest princess has a life...
"Let me ask you again, did the Eldest Princess ever say that others are not allowed to bring things in?" Ming Shuang cleared her throat and asked as if she knew what they were thinking.
The two looked at each other and suddenly realized.
But that's not the reason!
After thinking it over, the two immediately opened the door for Mingshuang, and the other helped the little girl behind her attentively.
"Girl please, Mrs. Shizi is inside!"
Seeing that they were interesting, Mingshuang snorted softly, raised her head and walked in with the brocade quilts and dinner brought by the little girls.
Shen Xinyan knelt on the futon with her head down, feeling unprecedented frustration in her heart.
After all, she still thinks highly of herself, and she has repeatedly warned herself not to offend the Eldest Princess, but why couldn't she help it at that time? Saying that, let alone the eldest princess who is extremely noble and never dared to disobey, even the mother-in-law of an ordinary family would never forgive her lightly.
If she was more ruthless, it would not be impossible for her to be dismissed as unfilial and sent back to her natal family.
She didn't care about the voices coming from outside the house, but after a while, the locked door was pushed open from the outside, accompanied by Mingshuang's voice.
Mingshuang was the maid beside Wei Junhang, and she was also the one who pulled her up. Seeing her appearance, Shen Xinyan suddenly had a bad idea in her heart.
"Madam, let's have dinner first!" Mingshuang waved her hand to let the mother-in-law and the little girls go out, and personally placed the meals on the small square table, and then came to help Shen Xinyan to sit down.
Shen Xinyan grabbed her hand and asked in a low voice, "Tell me now, did the Shizi go to the eldest princess to intercede?"
It would be too bad if it were true!
After all, she was also a mother-in-law once, so she more or less understood what it was like to be a mother-in-law.
The daughter-in-law made a mistake, and the son ran to plead for mercy against the limelight. Even though the son was forced to forgive the daughter-in-law, the anger in his heart could not be swallowed. Not only can't it be swallowed, but it will become more and more intense with time, and thus hate the daughter-in-law even more.
If things go on like this, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is bound to get worse!
Although she complained that the Eldest Princess was unfair, she never thought of getting into trouble with her. In fairness, although the eldest princess has favored the Fang family for so many years, she has treated her well.
And she has always respected this mother-in-law's personality, so naturally she doesn't want to quarrel with her.
She made such a fuss these days, it is inevitable for the eldest princess to be furious, but she believes that as long as the eldest princess regains her senses and calms down and thinks carefully, she may not change her mind.
And what she was waiting for was that moment.
But now Wei Junhang's appearance is not only useless, but also self-defeating.
"Don't worry, ma'am, the son knows everything in his heart, so you can wait here with peace of mind. I believe you will be able to go out in a short time." Mingshuang didn't know what she was worried about. , it's better to go out earlier.
Shen Xinyan became even more anxious when she heard this: "Go out and tell Shi Ziye that he must never intercede for me, and let everything take its course."
Mingshuang didn't know why, but it was inconvenient to ask clearly, so she nodded her head: "Your servant understands."
Although she said so, Shen Xinyan couldn't really rest assured, and naturally she was not in the mood to eat, she just took a few mouthfuls and then put down the bowl and chopsticks, no matter how much Mingshuang persuaded her, she couldn't use it anymore.
Mingshuang was helpless, but it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she left after tidying up.
Shen Xinyan was still kneeling on the futon, staring fixedly at the majestic Buddha statue, but her mind wandered far, far away.
Although the Fang family is in charge of the middle office in the mansion, the eldest princess has always been in charge of the British Duke and Wei Chenglin in the Outer Court. It was about this time in her previous life, when the Eldest Princess proposed to hand over all matters in Wei Chenglin's courtyard to the Fang family, in the hope that the Fang family would use this to establish a good relationship with the future Duke Wei Chenglin, so that Wei Chenglin could also be able to be able to do so after inheriting the title. Take care of the long room.
Since ancient times, parents have more or less a mentality of "robbing the strong to help the weak". In the eyes of the eldest princess, the eldest wife and the second wife, one is an orphan and widow, and the other is the future successor to the title. Which one is stronger and weaker? It is very clear.
In her previous life, she was naturally quite unhappy when she first heard about the eldest princess's decision, and expressed her unwillingness on the spot, but the eldest princess' attitude was tough, so she naturally didn't dare to contradict her. down.
Just like that, Wei Chenglin was obviously her son, but as a mother, she had the full power to decide all matters in her son's courtyard. Because of this, Wei Chenglin, who was already a little distant from her, became even more distant from her under Fang's intentional or unintentional influence, not as close as he was to Fang.
It's ridiculous! What a ridiculous absurdity!
Yes, she understood what the eldest princess meant. In the heart of the Eldest Princess, Wei Chenglin is still Shen Xinyan's son no matter what, and the blood relationship will never be broken. Therefore, Wei Chenglin has become the prince, and she is a safe and secure Duke and Grand Lady, with infinite scenery and extremely high splendor. But the long room is nothing, nothing, only relying on the favor of the Duke of the country to live better.
Therefore, the Eldest Princess made plans for the Changfang in advance, and tried every means to draw the relationship between the Changfang and Wei Chenglin closer.
It's just that she thinks long-term for Fang's mother and son, but she has never thought about her, Shen Xinyan.
Yes, blood ties can never be severed, but intimacy and distance can be different. What's ridiculous is that in the heart of Wei Chenglin in his previous life, she was "sparse" and "far away", while his eldest aunt Fang was the one who was "close" and "near".
After an unknown amount of time, she let out a long breath.
How much incense did Fang burn in her previous life to have such a mother-in-law who takes care of everything for her like the Eldest Princess!
***
The fact that Mrs. Shizi offended the Eldest Princess and was fined to kneel in the Buddhist hall naturally reached Fang's ears. She has been in the palm of her hand for many years, so she naturally has the channel to grasp the information in the Fuzhong, so she knows the details in detail.
"Your Highness is truly compassionate, he thinks of everything for Madam and Fourth Young Master!" Tao Zhi couldn't help sighing after hearing this.
Fang pursed her lips.
If he really thought of their mother and child in everything, he shouldn't have confirmed Wei Junhang's position as the eldest son before she gave birth that day, and he shouldn't have let the Duke bring Wei Chenglin to teach him.
What is it now? No matter how much she did, the position of the son of the world has already been left behind.
"If you can really let the wife take charge of the affairs of the eldest son's courtyard, it will be beneficial and harmless! It's a pity, now that the wife of the son has made such a fuss, it is the eldest princess who insists, but you don't agree, madam. It's good to take over." Tao Zhi didn't know what she was thinking, and said with some regret.
For the sake of her son, Mrs. Shizi even contradicted the Eldest Princess. If her wife really took over the matter, I am afraid that the Eldest Young Master will not do much good. Maybe the Eldest Young Master will misunderstand his wife and provoke his biological mother and grandmother. relationship!
"That's not necessarily the case. It's just a yellow-haired boy. After a long time, is it possible that I can still surrender to him?" Fang sneered, disapproving.
Tao Zhi was startled, then suddenly raised her head to look at her: "Madam, could it be that you..."
Wouldn't it be what she thought
She felt uneasy, but she still couldn't help persuading: "Madam, please listen to the servant girl. The matter has come to an end. The most important thing Madam should do is to show her attitude to the eldest princess, to retreat as an advance, to show weakness first, and resolutely put this matter to rest." Push it off."
No matter how bad Mrs. Shizi is, she is also the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess and the biological mother of the eldest son. If she insists on refusing, the eldest princess may not be against her in the end. When it really came to that point, my wife became passive.
Why not take the initiative to take a step back at this moment, not only to keep the eldest princess's sympathy, but also to show favor to the eldest son, and not to sever the relationship with the wife of the eldest son. Kill three birds with one stone, why not do it
It's a pity that Fang has other plans.
"Take the son and make the mother" is too tempting for her! No, as long as Wei Chenglin is in her hands, she is equivalent to holding the future Duke's Mansion in the palm of her hand, a Duke who is close to herself and obedient to her, why don't she let her be rounded and flattened
The light in Fang's eyes was shining brightly, and there was a faint sense that something must be won. Tao Zhi was frightened and wanted to persuade him, but Fang had already made up his mind to wait and see what happened, and wait for the Eldest Princess to give her a hand. She brought good news, so how can I even bother to listen to her.
Tao Zhi felt flustered and was pushed back by Fang Shi. The moment she lowered the door curtain, she looked at the blue sky, her mind was at a loss.
In the future, will it really be as my wife wishes
"Sister Taozhi, is mother in the house?" A weak child's voice sounded beside her, Taozhi looked over, and met a timid little face.
It was Wei Chengqi, the posthumous son of the previous son Wei Junting and the only son of the Fang family.
The seven-year-old Wei Chengqi's facial features are very similar to Fang's, but his black and white eyes are a little less lively and agile than children's. His stature is much thinner than that of his cousin Wei Yingzhi, who is one year younger than him.
At this moment, he was clutching a book with both hands, perhaps because he was too nervous, the pages of the book were crumpled.
Tao Zhi immediately knew that he was looking for Fang's endorsement, her nose was slightly sour, and she adjusted his clothes gently, with a very soft and soft voice: "Fourth son, don't be nervous, the madam just praised you to the servant! Said that your handwriting improved a lot last time."
"Really?" The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it.
"Well, it's true, let's go in quickly! I believe that the young master will be able to memorize the book this time!"
"Okay, Sister Taozhi, I'll go first!" The little guy nodded obediently.
Seeing the small figure disappear behind the curtain, and hearing Fang's serious voice from inside, Tao Zhi sighed vaguely.
***
The eldest princess was waiting, waiting for the moment when her son pleaded for his wife, but to her surprise, Wei Junhang went back and forth several times, using all kinds of martial arts to make her smile, but still didn't say a word About Shen Xinyan.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore.
