"This servant is thinking, what if something happens to the Feng family? Wouldn't it be better to ask that Concubine Shu to always be her Concubine Shu?" Peilan said softly.
Isn't it good to be... a concubine in name only, without her natal family and no hope, so she can continue to be noble like this
The corners of the queen's lips curled up and she smiled slowly: "Okay, of course it's the best."
How boring would it be to lose everything? Wouldn't it be better to keep a little, but never have hope, to be able to hook everything, but never get it
What if I lose everything and have no desire to live anymore
It would be better not to kill them all.
It's just that things in the palace are sometimes unrelated, but sometimes they are indeed connected.
Northern Xinjiang.
Suzhou City is the largest city in the northernmost part of Northern Xinjiang.
Of course, further north, there are still places belonging to the Dayi Dynasty, which are small places.
Jing'an Marquis Mansion is located in Suzhou City. Of course, this mansion is much smaller than the one in the capital.
But it is still an excellent house in Suzhou City.
After Jing'an Hou retired to old age, the eldest son and the third son of the Shen family lived here.
Each has half, and both have concubines waiting on them.
Nowadays, Shen Zhong is a first-class official and has the rank of general conferred by the Holy Emperor. Because the governor here has always been vacant, he has been acting as general affairs officer here for several years. The civil servants in Suzhou City also took him as their leader.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local parent official.
The third child was just a little bit worse. His official position was third grade, and he also had the rank of general, but he was not as good as the eldest brother.
What's more, the eldest son is the eldest son. After waiting for a hundred years in Jing'an, he should successfully inherit the Marquis.
Because he is a third-generation marquis, not only him, but also his eldest son will also be a marquis in the future.
Shen Yi had respected his two brothers since he was a child, but as he got older, he gradually became dissatisfied.
This is a kind of helplessness. He is obviously not bad, but it is a pity that he was born a little later, so he is not as good as his elder brother.
However, he was not convinced, and he didn't want to do anything.
Shen Yi's favorite concubine is Shang. Shang is only twenty-eight years old this year and is extremely beautiful.
The main reason is that she is very smart. She has never returned to the capital since she followed Shen Yi in 1677.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, both of whom were raised in the Marquis Mansion in Suzhou City.
My son is ten years old this year and my daughter is only five years old.
In Suzhou City, she was like a married woman with three bedrooms.
But the Liang family in the capital did not know all of these things.
Of course, the matter of the concubine's children could not be hidden, but she did not know how this Shang gained favor, nor did she know that the things she saw brought back from northern Xinjiang every year were managed by this Shang.
She had no idea that what she got was only half, or even less.
Her son Shen Qingling didn't know what was going on in the backyard. Shen Qingling suddenly became alert when she heard her brother talk about it unintentionally.
It was true that he had followed her in Suzhou City all these years, but in his heart, his mother and sister were naturally the closest to him.
The rest of them were not born to the same mother after all.
He revised his book and returned to the capital. Only then did Liang finally understand what had gone wrong in the past ten years.
It turned out that Shen Yi had been confusing her with other concubines, and she trusted her son, so she didn't care so much.
Even though there are riots every year, there is no result.
Now it is like this. Liang was also from a good background, so he just used some manpower to investigate the matter.
When she learned the result, she almost fainted.
Her husband had been in Northern Xinjiang all these years, and he actually treated his concubine as his legitimate wife, and even took care of her things.
For the principal wife of a wealthy family, this is a great shame and humiliation.
She immediately made a fuss in front of the Marquis in the front yard.
In fact, it's not that Jing'an Hou didn't know about these things, he just didn't bother to care about them.
How much can he care about his son's backyard
What's more, haven't we been living in peace and harmony these years
Mrs. Qu also meant the same thing, so while scolding Shen Yi, she just advised Mrs. Liang to calm down.
Mrs. Liang was so angry that she thought short-sighted and wanted to commit suicide.
Fortunately, he was saved by his own slaves. Although the Liang family was not as powerful as the Shen family, it was not empty.
At that moment, Liang's nephew came to the door in person and was about to take Liang back to the Liang family.
That would be a big deal.
The Shen family absolutely refused.
I thought it was over and asked Shen Yi to write a letter to apologize to Mrs. Liang, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Liang was determined to return to the Liang family.
As for the Liang family, Liang's nephew was also a bad guy, and he went so far as to sue Shen Yi for using his concubine as his wife and doting on her to destroy his wife.
This matter seems to be nothing. But for people of this era, wives and concubines are clearly so extreme.
Unless the legitimate wife is dead, the concubine cannot be the master of the family.
No matter what the outcome of this accusation is, the Shen family will definitely be embarrassed at the moment.
In the harem, after hearing this, Shen Chuliu didn't know what the appropriate expression was. He shook his head for a while: "Yes!"
"I didn't expect that this aunt actually has some backbone."
"How can this be good now?" Zi Rui worried: "Don't involve you."
"When something happened to the Shen family, it was inevitable that I would be involved. No, Concubine Feng Shu hates me so much that she is sleepy. Why don't you give her a pillow?" Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Let's see what she does."
Naturally, the Feng family would not miss this opportunity and impeached Shen Yi together with several officials in the court who were at odds with the Shen family.
This matter can be big or small. Shen Yi will definitely be embarrassed.
When Feng Zao Palace paid her respects, Concubine Feng Shu would certainly not let Shen Chuliu go: "It's strange that Jing Zhaoyi has such a domineering personality. It turns out it's a family tradition."
"What is Concubine Feng Shufei talking about? Who do you think I look like? Why can't I understand? Isn't the matter in my family just a farce between my aunt and my concubine? My aunt has suffered a loss and can't speak anymore?" Shen Chu Liu sneered.
"Liang is naturally innocent." Feng Shufei hummed.
"Oh, then you mean that I am the same as that Shang family? Tsk, not to mention that what the empress said is far-fetched. That is really the case. Where is your empress, Feng Shufei? Have you forgotten yourself? In the harem, except for the queen, The empress is the orthodoxy, and the rest are concubines. How can you act like a concubine and feel superior?"
Shen Chuliu groaned: "Still, I heard it when I was a child. Concubine Feng Shu wanted to be a legitimate wife. Tsk, what a pity."
"You don't have to be glib with me, it just depends on how your Shen family gets away with it!" Feng Shufei sneered.
"Look at what you said, aren't these things all the Emperor's business? Now that your Feng family has been involved in the conspiracy, now that Concubine Feng has passed, is Concubine Feng still Concubine Feng? I am the third one who has made a big deal about this matter of the Shen family. My uncle is not strict in running the family, and it is just a matter of wives and concubines fighting each other. Even if there is a big fuss, am I still the emperor's Jing Zhaoyi? "
Shen Chuliu meant, what about the Shen family? How should I attack you? Or should I attack you in the same way
Happy New Year! Although your wishes last year didn't come true, so what? Keep making wishes in the new year, what if it comes true? Love you guys.
