After Sima Wu finished speaking, beads of sweat the size of beans began to flow down his forehead. He secretly blamed his master for giving him such an assignment that would offend the wife. Before Miao could get angry, he immediately said goodbye and left with his wife.
Seeing that Miao's face looked unhappy, the old lady nodded and said, "Since everyone knows about this, we can't let that girl live outside anymore. It's not safe." A few maids could break in at random. What if someone wants to assassinate the prince... The old lady became more determined to take that girl in.
"Stop making trouble. Just stop it. You already have a daughter-in-law, and you are still making trouble. Aren't you going to make a fool of yourself for the younger generations?" the old lady continued.
Miao sneered. Great, now he doesn't even come home, and he's acting like a tough guy. He thinks she can't do anything to him, right? "If he wants to live outside, then let him live outside." Miao suppressed her anger and said, "Now that such a scandal has happened, I have no face to live on, and I have no face to see my parents." As she said that, Miao took out a belt from the still intact wardrobe, as if she was going to hang herself.
Luo Lingxiu and the two maids naturally cried their hearts out and stopped her. The old lady was shocked and angry, "What are you doing? Are you threatening an old woman like me?"
Miao smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not threaten you, but in this family, if that little whore is there, there will be no me, and if I am there, there will be no her." She would not bow her head like this. As a noble lady of the Miao family and the wife of a marquis, if she was forced to bow her head by a concubine, how could she have any face in the future
The old lady was frightened by Miao's resolute look. She trembled and kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time, but could not utter a word. She had to leave angrily, lamenting the misfortune of her family, her careless son and her unvirtuous daughter-in-law, which made her worry about her children and grandchildren at her old age.
The male owner of the Marquis's Mansion simply lived outside and refused to come back, and his wife was determined not to give in, which made the old lady's temper bad. When Mingyu went to pay her respects, she was very cautious and spoke carefully. Fortunately, the old lady was preoccupied and didn't care about the younger generation's greetings. After a few words, she let Mingyu and Luo Lingxiu go back.
Luo Lingxiu naturally hurried to her aunt's yard, while Mingyu went back to her own yard. Luo Lingxiu sneered, "Madam is unhappy now, but my sister-in-law is hiding far away."
As soon as Mingyu saw Luo Lingxiu's face, she knew that she was tired of serving the furious Miao these days and wanted to find fault. She said slowly, "I'm not good at talking and I can't please people. If I go and make Madam angry, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"You're not good at talking?" Luo Lingxiu seemed to have heard a big joke. "When you coax the old lady and your cousin, you are very eloquent!"
Mingyu looked up at Luo Lingxiu and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, why do you call the second master cousin? This is not against the rules. You should call him second brother." Since a woman has married into her husband's family, she naturally takes the husband's family as her priority.
"You!" Luo Lingxiu was furious. She just wanted to make them feel closer, so she called him cousin. Intuitively, she suspected that the little girl knew something. She approached Mingyu and whispered, "My cousin and I have been good friends since we were young. I'm used to calling you cousin. No one in my family has ever said anything to me. Why do you have any objections?"
"I don't have any opinion. Why would sister-in-law ask that?" Mingyu shook her head in confusion. You can call me whatever you want, dear, darling, little sweetie, sweetheart, etc. She doesn't mind.
Luo Lingxiu got angry when she saw Mingyu's silly look. She really suspected that Mingyu had hidden in some corner and overheard their conversation that day. However, it was getting late and she had to rush to Miao's place. She had to temporarily suppress her doubts and left in anger by stomping her feet.
Not long after Mingyu returned to her own yard, Master Bao came to visit her. As usual, he barged into the house without a care in the world. Before entering the inner room, he saw through the beaded curtain that Mingyu was sitting on the couch by the window reading a book. The pomegranate flowers outside the window were as red as fire. Sandalwood was burning in the room, and the fragrance was lingering. Mingyu was leaning quietly on the couch. From his point of view, he could only see Mingyu's thick and long eyelashes trembling slightly. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
Unconsciously, Master Bao slowed down his movements, opened the bead curtain and entered the inner room. Mingyu heard the sound of the bead curtain, looked up and saw that it was Master Bao, put down the book and wanted to salute Master Bao.
Master Bao quickly stopped her and saw that the book in Mingyu's hand was the one he gave to her. He felt inexplicably happy and said, "No need to be so polite. I've told you so many times." Master Bao muttered.
"What's the matter, Second Master?" Mingyu asked without skipping a word.
Master Bao was a little speechless. He came here because something happened at home. He hadn't seen the little girl for two days and wanted to come and see her because he was worried. "Well, something happened at home. You probably heard about it."
Mingyu nodded and said, "Your father had a mistress and wanted to switch from underground work to aboveground work, but your mother stopped him. That's it."
"Madam has been in a bad mood these days. If you have nothing to do, don't go to her." Master Bao said, "Come to me if you have anything to do."
Mingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was a little surprised that he came to tell her about this. Thinking of Luo Lingxiu's sarcastic words in the morning, she asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law has been taking care of the madam these days. She seems to be very tired. How about I go over..."
Master Bao waved his hand and said decisively: "Just listen to me, I'll go and take care of it." The Madam likes Luo Lingxiu and would not get angry with her even if she was angry. Mingyu is different. She will definitely be scolded if she goes, so it's better for her to stay away from her.
Mingyu nodded obediently to show that she would follow the leader's instructions. The way her little head nodded seriously was very cute, and Master Bao couldn't help but praise her, "You are so good, you have always been so obedient and sensible." At the end, he added with emotion, "In the future, you will definitely not make a fuss like your wife and make everyone tired."
Mingyu smiled, lowered her head shyly, and said very virtuously: "Everyone is good, that's the real good."
P! Mingyu couldn't help cursing in her heart. She was such a little brat who didn't understand the ways of the world. If she had a family background as impressive as Miao's, and had her family members who could support her, she would have made a scene long ago. She would have made a scene when Miao allowed Master Bao to take a concubine, and she would have made a scene when she found out that Master Bao and his sister-in-law were having an affair. She would have successfully divorced and packed up her bags and left the Sima Marquis's Mansion, either going back to her parents' home or just finding a place to live. Why would she have to live here in silence, being bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and having to face a shameless husband named Alexandre Dumas, wasting her whole life
In Mingyu's eyes, Sima Wu's wife is the one who lives happily and freely. If her husband dares to betray her, she will take a knife to chase the mistress and the cheap man, taking revenge and not caring about others calling her a shrew. In this world, men forcibly define enduring as virtuous for their own benefit. Men are happy and carefree with women on their left and right, and women have to smile and congratulate them on the side, but in the end they only get a compliment from the man without sincerity. What kind of perverse logic is this!
Miao had been making a fuss for several days with a resolute attitude. Sima Qing didn't go home, and the old lady was unhappy. Sima Qing, who was in the land of gentleness, was also unhappy. It was not a good thing to live outside for so long. He just brought a concubine into the house, kowtowed to you, served tea and showed respect, and now she is under your control. I am sincere enough, but you don't give me face!
Sima Wu was in charge of delivering the message, and he was in great pain. Now he was being bullied by both the master and the mistress. The gist of Sima Qing's words that Sima Wu delivered was, "For so many years, you have been the only one in charge in the family. You were not respectful enough to my mother, and you were not tolerant and caring enough to my concubines. You were arrogant and overbearing. You also tried to stop me from taking a concubine. You are not virtuous enough. Apart from this concubine, I have done nothing wrong to you. Please give me some face so that we can all save face."
Mingyu guessed that the original words must be much more serious than this. The good old Sima Wu must have embellished his words many times before they could be barely heard. If the original words were used, Sima Wu would definitely be beaten out by the Miao family.
Miao didn't buy her husband's account at all. It wasn't that she minded having a concubine. She grew up in a noble family in the capital. Her father and brothers all grew up surrounded by women. From maids before marriage to concubines after marriage, there were so many women with whom she had relationships. She was no longer surprised. Although she was jealous at first, she later figured it out. She just hated Sima Qing for deceiving her. Until now, he only threatened her and couldn't see her. He didn't even say an apology. Did he think she was easy to bully
The fifth son's wife also hated Nanny Tan and the Madam. After thinking about it, she thought that maybe these two people knew that the woman was the master's mistress, and it was inconvenient for them to do it, so they wanted to use her to expose the woman. Now, she was fooled without thinking and made such a big joke. She was used as a pawn and her husband Zhu Bajie was so tired that he had to look in the mirror, feeling embarrassed both inside and outside.
In the end, neither Miao nor Sima Qing were willing to give in. Sima Qing refused to show up no matter what. Miao was completely disappointed. She stomped her feet and wrote a letter to her parents' home in the capital, saying that Sima Qing favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and that she couldn't live like this anymore. She asked her brothers to come and help her. They must kill Sima Qing!
No matter how Luo Lingxiu and Bao Erye tried to persuade her, Miao made up her mind and sent the letter as soon as she finished writing it.
"What should I do?" The sixteen-year-old boy Bao Erye was quite at a loss facing these things. He did not go out to play in the past few days and lived a very miserable life.
Mingyu was actually quite happy to see Sima Qing and Miao fall out, and it would be best if they could divorce amicably. She kind of hoped that the two of them would "divorce quickly, there's no point in dragging it out". Since there were so few examples of high-class families divorcing amicably, and if her parents-in-law set the precedent, then her divorce from Sima Hong would not be so shocking and unacceptable.
Thinking of this, Mingyu suddenly felt a little ashamed. She really had bad intentions. Chinese people have always advocated reconciliation rather than separation. There is an old saying that goes, "It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a relationship."
