Yes, she was also confused. After all, Zou Yiru was a legitimate daughter of a wealthy man. How could she be a concubine? Even if the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion had not fallen, the Zou family would not give their daughter to anyone as a concubine. This would be drowned in spit.
But since she is not a concubine, it is even more terrifying.
Madam Peng is planning to take a concubine as her equal!
The second wife's smile was a little stiff. She felt that her sister-in-law was a little too arrogant: "But... How can we explain this to the Wei family?"
How to explain
What is there to explain
Mrs. Peng raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
She has been disgusted by the Wei family's attitude recently.
She didn't mind Wei An's bad reputation, nor did she mind Wei An's competitiveness. She even treated Wei An with kindness for such a long time. But Wei An and the Dingbei Marquisate actually dared to despise her son
Do you really think you are something great
She had the evidence against them in her hand, enough to send them to hell.
Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, you might as well just let yourself be controlled for the rest of your life.
What's the point of raising your wife
When Wei An gets married, she will also promote Zou Yiru and let Wei An live a life of widowhood, visiting her every morning and evening...
She raised her eyelids lazily, not taking the Second Madam's concerns seriously at all, and shook her head with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own plans in mind."
Of course, she had her own plans. When she entered the palace, she told Concubine De about this matter: "The Wei family has already agreed to the marriage, and we should also speed up our preparations..."
Concubine De held the little prince to the nurse and told her to take good care of him. She then turned around and said, "We should indeed make some preparations. Prince Zheng has only one daughter. His Majesty mentioned to me a few days ago that if this marriage is really possible, he should give Princess Shouning more dowry."
Prince Zheng was increasingly valued by Emperor Longqing.
After all, he was just a vassal king with an empty shell for show, and he was the least troublesome and did not make trouble. Emperor Longqing was happy to lift him up as a face and let the people of the world see how much he loved his brothers.
When Concubine Peng De said this, she deliberately added: "This palace also means the same thing. This marriage must be done properly."
The Dingbei Marquisate has made a comeback, and Prince Zheng is in great demand. Wei An is truly the perfect candidate and can serve as a bridge to bring the two families together.
Her life in the palace became increasingly difficult. Although Emperor Longqing doted on her and also liked the fat boy Chu Jingyuan, Empress Fang had suddenly become smarter recently and would no longer be easily provoked into going into a cold war with Emperor Longqing.
There was already an emotional foundation, and Emperor Longqing was quite sincere towards Empress Fang. Since Empress Fang was no longer suspicious and had shown her weak attitude as before, Emperor Longqing softened his heart and began to miss the old times.
In addition, Empress Fang had learned her lesson and no longer kept complaining that the Fourth Prince was sick or in poor health. Instead, Emperor Longqing felt pity for him. After personally taking care of the Fourth Prince who had a fever once, Emperor Longqing said that he now knew how difficult the Empress was. He had rarely come to Lanyue Palace during this period.
Concubine De was very upset.
Some thoughts may seem fine when they don't exist at first, but once they arise, they can never be extinguished.
Queen Fang's son was so frail that a cold could kill him.
At this time, as the only high-ranking concubine who still has children, and her family is now at its peak, how could Concubine De be willing if she didn't try her best
I will never accept that.
Mrs. Peng reacted, chuckled and responded, then reported the details of the marriage to Concubine Peng De.
The middleman they invited was Lord He, the Secretary of the Taichang Temple. The Second Master used his reputation to invite him personally.
Concubine Peng De was very satisfied. She smiled and closed the gift list given by Madam Peng, and nodded: "That's good."
Mrs. Peng thought about it again and again, but finally decided not to tell Peng Caichen about her plan to find a co-wife. Now was not the right time, and it would not be too late to mention it when the Wei family agreed.
The most important thing now is to convince her parents' family. After returning home, she asked someone to write a letter to her parents' family, urging them to send her niece's birth certificate.
She felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't bear being looked down upon by someone she looked down upon, even though she had been trying to curry favor with Wei An for so long. Her self-esteem made her feel like a thorn in her throat.
This anger must be vented.
Master Peng didn't care about all this. He was now busy taking care of the three courts. He wanted to make sure that Guo Zixing's case was successfully concluded.
Fortunately, he had found out a lot of information by following Wei Yangqing, and he knew who would be the presiding judge and the jurors. He then went to find these people one by one, smoothed the relationship and made some money, which was very effective.
After a while, when the case is completely closed and Wei An marries her back, he can rest easy - by then, his background will be cleaned, and he can slowly withdraw from the matter, make a few more profits, and then he can get out of it. With Wei An's large dowry in hand, and the relationship between Zheng Wangfu and Wei Yangqing in Dingbei Marquis's Mansion to rely on, he can think of other ways to make money. With the imperial concubine in a high position at home, they can wholeheartedly benefit from the Fifth Prince.
As he thought about it, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction. His father could not rest in peace until his death, and he hoped that they would restore the family's former glory. He had been working diligently for his father's last wish and had not dared to slack off. Now, he finally had hope.
His gaze passed through the numerous courtyards and seemed to be able to see the plaque of Jing'an Marquis Mansion being hung again on the gate of his house.
But this wonderful fantasy did not last long. He finally felt relieved for several days and sent a valuable gift to Wei Yangqing. When he was drinking tea quietly at home, a servant suddenly rushed in with a panic and told him: "Master, Master, something bad has happened! Something has happened!"
He frowned.
The family paid great attention to the matter of good words. Normally, even if something bad happened, the servants would always say something like "getting rich or getting promoted". But this time, they couldn't say it well. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and scolded him coldly: "Speak properly! Why are you so flustered?"
The servant bent over, as if he realized that he had said something wrong. He was a little panicked, but soon panicked again. He said to Master Peng with a sad face: "Master, I don't know what happened to Lord He. He rushed in angrily and said he wanted to see you! The second master just came back with him, but Lord He ignored the second master's plea all the way. I don't know what happened. The second master asked you to leave quickly, saying that something big happened..."
Lord He is an official in the Taichang Temple. He is a very old-fashioned person. He is stubborn in everything he says and does. But such a person is the easiest to fool. Is there anything that the second brother cannot control
