Seeing that she was silent, Mother Qin took a few steps forward cautiously and lit the incense for her. Seeing that the peony-shaped incense was gradually emitting smoke, she continued to talk to herself, "Will we be too conspicuous by doing this? You've been doing conspicuous things lately... I'm afraid that the neighbors will take advantage of you."
Princess Linjiang was expressionless, flipping through a few pages of a book beside her. When she heard what Mother Qin said, her clay-like face showed some expression, and she asked her sarcastically, "What's so conspicuous? It's raining and my mother is getting married, can I stop it? Just like you said, they are just immoral. One daughter got married and divorced, maybe it was because the man was not good or unfaithful, but both daughters got into trouble, what does this mean? Are all the men in the world not worthy of their girls?"
There is no such thing in the world.
Girls in the Zhou Dynasty were pampered, but there was a limit to their pampering. After all, this world advocated male power, and officials in the court were all men. They would naturally only think about problems from a man's perspective.
Then, in their opinion, of course, they would think that the girls of the Wei family would eventually fall out with their in-laws after they get married. No matter how many children they have, they would eventually divorce the men. The men spent money and effort, but in the end they couldn't even raise the children, and they were also labeled as heartless men.
If this is the case, then Wei An, who also has the surname Wei but is disguised as the daughter of King Zheng, could she also be such a Wei girl? Who can tell
What is the easiest thing in the world? Of course, spreading rumors is the easiest thing.
Mother Qin was increasingly unsure of her thoughts. After hearing what she said, she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant to spoil the mood, so she smiled and said, "You're right. The most important thing for a girl is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, people's spit will drown you. How many people in this world can be so independent? People always have to socialize..."
Princess Linjiang raised her eyelids and glanced at her, knowing that she still didn't understand what she meant.
This is just one point. The important thing is that this kind of thing is difficult to clarify.
Even if you say bad things about that man, isn't it a fact that the two girls in your Wei family are divorced
She raised the corners of her mouth, and her expression suddenly became much happier. Seeing that Mother Qin handed over a cup of jasmine tea at the right time, she took a sip and said, "Have all the things that should be distributed been distributed?"
Everyone was very busy during the New Year, dealing with the social etiquette and welcoming and seeing off guests, and the people below were exhausted. Princess Linjiang made the decision and all the servants in the palace were rewarded with an extra month's salary.
Mother Qin quickly agreed: "It's all done, don't worry." After saying that, she still felt a little worried: "Princess, do we really not have to do anything?"
This time, Wei Yuyou's husband got into trouble because of someone. He was originally a young master and was spoiled since childhood. He was not a bad person by nature, but he was not considerate or able to control his heart. He was instigated by his bad friends and it was common for him to sleep with other prostitutes outside.
But Wei Yuyou couldn't stand it. There was a rift between the couple. Once there was a rift, it was easier for other things to arise. When other men were angry, they had many ways to vent their anger. It was the same for Wei Yuyou's husband. Since his wife was not in a good mood, he would just leave.
Once he leaves, he won’t go home for ten days or half a month.
At the beginning, the mother-in-law would also help to scold her son, saying that he was ignorant and so on, but when it happened more often, she began to find fault with her daughter-in-law, complaining that she could not win over the man and that she let the man fool around outside.
As time goes by, the natural contradiction becomes irreconcilable.
But I have to keep spending money outside, and Wei Yuyou refuses to give it to me, what should I do
Of course he borrowed it. As a rich family kid, he had no concept of money. Since the courtesan was worth so much money, he just borrowed it from his friends.
As the debts kept on borrowing, they gradually accumulated. The whole family then realized that something was wrong. But how could they possibly pay such a large sum of money
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, now the middle-class families in the capital do not have so much money in their accounts, not to mention they have to maintain the operation of the whole family. Since the daughter-in-law has money and the son went out to spend money on wine and women because he had a falling out with her, then of course the daughter-in-law should pay for this money.
Princess Linjiang smiled. All she had to do was this, and that was enough.
The Wei family will naturally take care of the rest.
She laughed sarcastically, looked at Mother Qin and asked, "If you were from the Wei family, would you agree to this marriage go ahead?"
Mother Qin was speechless. She thought seriously for a while and shook her head, "Of course not. This man has completely changed his heart. He dared to hit his wife. He didn't keep any decency when quarreling. He beat people without caring about the presence of the child. When he was angry, he even took out his anger on a two-year-old child. I heard that he threw the child on the bed and cried for half a day. He invited several doctors. After this incident, there is no affection left. The couple has become worse than enemies. How can they live like this? If it was a marriage of high status, then those who sold their daughter might still persuade their daughter to be tolerant, but how would the Wei family want their daughter to be wronged? Wasn't the eldest daughter of the Wei family an example?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Princess Linjiang for a long time without being able to say anything.
Princess Linjiang has accurately calculated the character of the Wei family and the choices they will make.
That's why she said she wasn't afraid of others noticing anything. She didn't do anything at all. She just made that man's heart a little bigger and revealed his true face.
The remaining decisions are all to be made by the Wei family.
The princess could actually calculate people’s thoughts and the personalities of the Wei family so accurately.
If the Wei family divorces another daughter, people's livelihood will inevitably deteriorate.
So... ..
Then when Princess Linjiang said in front of King Linjiang that Wei An's character was too stubborn and he might not be a good match for Shen Chen, the weight of her words was much heavier and more credible.
She suppressed her doubts and shock, and seeing that Princess Linjiang was smiling but not saying anything, she asked softly, "Princess, so... are we laying the groundwork for what's to come?"
Princess Linjiang sneered: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Nothing can be accomplished overnight, so we have to take our time. Now is just the beginning. How is Qingshuang doing now? Can she still hold her temper?"
After a while, Qingshuang still stayed in the laundry, her situation did not improve, and Shen Chen never said anything to her directly. (To be continued)
