Facing Miss Ba's question, the little maid told Chu Lian's situation in detail.
She spoke in great detail, even mentioning that He Changdi and Chu Lian were wearing the same color clothes.
This time she stabbed sister Yuan's hornet's nest, and the most unbearable thing she could bear was that Chu Lian had a better life than herself.
In the past, she dominated her everywhere in the British government, causing "Chu Lian" to suffer a lot of hidden losses, but when Chu Lian got married, the gap between the two of them widened like a rocket.
Chu Lian owns Gui Linju, who is making a lot of money every day, and she has to ask her parents for instructions to buy a piece of jewelry, and she may not be able to buy it.
Chu Lian is obviously married, but Brother Xiao still misses her and never forgets her.
Even her husband's family is more prominent than the British government. Her husband has made military achievements in the northern border, and was even named Marquis of Anyuan. She is obviously the daughter of the second wife, but Chu Lian has quietly become Mrs. Hou. She is nothing!
Sister Yuan couldn't bear such a huge gap.
They are all from the same root, why can Chu Lian be so much better than her! Even Prince Wei's mansion looked at her with admiration!
Originally, I invited Chu Lian back today because I wanted to make her feel useless. After all, the etiquette of the two of them is very different.
Seeing how grand her Jiji ceremony was, Chu Lian would definitely think of her crude and perfunctory Jiji ceremony back then.
But even if this is the case now, Sister Yuan is not happy anymore.
He Changdi even sent Chu Lian to the British government in person when he had official business. Wasn't Chu Lian showing off her status in the Jing'an House and He Sanlang's current achievements
Sister Yuan tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her expression was distorted, and she was full of unwillingness.
The only thing Chu Lian can compare to her is that face!
Xiaoqin saw that Miss Ba had a gloomy expression, she bit her lip and remained silent, obviously lost in her own thoughts, she waved her hand to let the little girl who reported the message go down.
"Miss Eight?" Xiaoqin called out tentatively.
Sister Yuan came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and then suppressed the monstrous jealousy in her heart.
Chu Yuan made a look at Xiaoqin, and Xiaoqin knew how to sneak out when other people in the courtyard were not paying attention.
Chu Yuan stared at herself in the mirror, the corners of her mouth curled up, and a weird smile appeared on her immature face.
Chu Lian, don't you live a better life than me? Then I will ruin your reputation and completely destroy you!
She wanted to know if He Sanlang, who was upright and loved his wife like his life, would still want Chu Lian after seeing Chu Lian's appearance at that time!
Chu Lian was invited to the backyard by the big maid next to the old lady.
At this time, the elders and sisters of the third house of the British government were there.
"Chu Lian" who was a girl in the British government's government did not see the old lady a few times a year, but at this time she held Chu Lian's hand affectionately and asked questions.
The other aunts and aunts who looked down on Miss Six in the past also put on a look of booing and asking for warmth.
It has been more than half a year since she married into Uncle Jing'an's mansion, and the hypocritical relatives of her mother's family always ask if there is any news about her stomach.
One of the aunts said the most unpleasant words.
"Our Chu family's daughters are easy to raise, Sister Lian, look at those sisters you married, who didn't have a fat son in their arms, you can't embarrass our Chu family."
These words sounded like they were urging Chu Lian to have a quick life, but they were secretly mocking her for marrying into the Jing'an Mansion because of her inexplicable name as a daughter of the Chu family, and she got such an enviable fortune by a sleight of hand.
In addition, she stepped on her and couldn't conceive until today.
Chu Lian's current status really made this group of women envious and envious, such ugly words were inevitable.
However, this was also because Chu Lian's status was not high enough. If Chu Lian's status reached a certain level, these women would not dare to speak at all.
Just like the Princess Chaoyang of the previous dynasty, although she never came out in her life, she was a hero among women. She led one hundred thousand elite soldiers to fight against the rebellion of King Huai'an, preserved the orthodoxy of the royal family, and was named the Princess Protector.
The eldest princess's husband's family is Qu, and Qu son-in-law and the eldest princess have no children in their lives, but the Qu family never dared to complain, and Qu's mother even advised her son not to take concubines.
Nowadays, although people in the world can't be sure whether Consort Qu and Princess Chaoyang really love each other, it is true that Princess Chaoyang has never had a concubine in her life, and that is enough.
Sitting beside the old lady, Chu Lian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not respond to the aunt's words.
The old lady took her hand, with a kind face on her face, "Sister Lian, although your aunt's words are a bit harsh, but the truth is right. You have been married to Marquis Anyuan for more than half a year. Why is your stomach so ugly?" There is no movement yet, this is not acceptable!"
Chu Lian didn't expect that the British government's family would focus on her belly.
You must know that she is only sixteen now, even if she is pregnant normally, it is too early!
On the right hand side, the third aunt who was sitting below didn't know what to think of, rolled her eyes, and said to Chu Lian with a smile: "Sister Lian, our sister Fu will be fourteen this year, and she will reach the age of Ji next year. I also know that your third aunt is a good child, and sister Fu has three older brothers! Wait a few more months, if your stomach doesn't react, it's not good to keep procrastinating!"
Hearing what the third aunt said, Chu Lian felt a little strange at first, what did the good-looking Tifu do, and when the third aunt spoke, Chu Lian immediately realized.
She was very surprised, the meaning of what the third aunt said clearly was that she wanted to give Sister Fu to He Changdi as a concubine to have a child!
What kind of mother is this, who is so eager for the well-being of her own child
Even if the power of the British government is declining now, the legitimate daughter born in the government cannot be given to a high-ranking official as a concubine! How did her third aunt have such a brain!
As soon as the third aunt said this, the forced joy on Chu Lian's face faded.
Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to the words of the aunts and aunts of her mother's family, but now she couldn't do without a positive response.
"Grandmother, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but my husband said that we are all young now, so there is no rush to have a child, just let nature take its course, and you also know the He family's family style."
Chu Lian's words slapped these people in the face mercilessly, and by the way strongly rejected the third aunt's proposal.
May I ask, which woman here has a husband who doesn't have a concubine? Even if it's the old lady, the old Englishman still has two servant girls under the age of 20 in his study! Not to mention the old and decrepit aunts.
There are a lot of concubine sons and concubine daughters, and Chu Lian's father, Chu Qizheng, is the one who is in the best situation. She and Chu Yuan have no concubine brothers and concubine sisters, but it is likely that Chu Qizheng is old enough...
Only Chu Lian's husband, He Changdi, was the only woman in the hall who did not take concubines. Where are the He family's family rules
The women who were chattering before suddenly fell silent, and the flower hall fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.
In the end, Sister Rong coughed and brought everyone back to their thoughts. Sister Rong said with a smile: "Auntie and Auntie, you elders are not ashamed after all. Since you are still jealous of Sister Lian, a little girl, Sister Lian A good marriage is also a blessing to our Chu family."
At this time, the clever ones hurriedly followed suit.
Chu Lian smiled, it was not suitable for her to talk at this time, but the old lady smiled a little awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, and the ceremony will start soon, so you better move, aunts and aunts."
Sister-in-law Rong saw the needles and reminded.
At this time, the whole room stood up and walked towards the big flower hall in the front yard of the British government.
The Ji ceremony will be held at that place.
After the old lady was helped out by the maids, Mrs. Rong, who was in charge, greeted her in person.
Mrs. Rong first looked Chu Lian up and down, and then her face was full of smiles, "Sister Lian, I haven't seen you for several months, and you look more and more beautiful, no wonder Marquis Anyuan is worried about you coming back alone. "
I have to say that Mrs. Rong is a very talkative person.
With such a daughter-in-law in the first house, at least the back house will be cleaner than the other two houses.
Chu Lian also had a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."
Sister-in-law Rong held Chu Lian's arm, and the two of them left the flower hall in the main room in the backyard together, "Sister Lian, I'm busy today, so I can't take care of you, how about you go to the front yard with Sister Su?"
Perhaps it was the incident in Dingyuan Hou's mansion that made Chu Lian always feel that Mrs. Rong was a little more careful and flattering to her.
Chu Lian nodded, "Sister-in-law, go get busy, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go find Fifth Sister to go with me now."
Mrs. Rong smiled apologetically and left in a hurry.
Chu Lian came out of the old lady's yard, turned a corner, and saw Miss Su standing beside a clump of rose trees.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Fifth Miss Su has lost a lot of weight.
The little baby fat on both sides of the cheeks has also completely faded away, not only that, but also slightly sunken, obviously thin and out of shape.
Chu Lian frowned, she didn't expect Miss Su to look so haggard after not seeing her for a few months.
"Fifth Sister." Chu Lian called softly when she was approaching.
Sister Su, who was in a trance, heard the voice, and instantly came back to her senses, and looked in Chu Lian's direction. She stood where she was, with a slightly pale smile.
"Fifth sister, why have you lost so much weight!"
Sister Su shook her head, "It's okay, it's all about the mess in the mansion, if you can't avoid it, you will naturally lose weight."
Seeing that Sister Su had no desire to confide, Chu Lian did not make things difficult.
Sister Su took Chu Lian's hand, looked her up and down carefully, and the pale smile on her face became more real, "Sixth sister is more energetic than before."
Chu Lian had no choice but to smile wryly, can she not be "rejuvenated", she is drinking tonic twice a day, He Changdi is on vacation, and he eats with him every day, because He Sanlang watched, she eats more every meal than before a lot...
"Come on, let's talk as we walk." Sister Su took Chu Lian's hand and led her towards the front yard.
There was a small garden in front of him. At this moment, people gathered in the front yard. It was hard to find even a servant in the backyard garden. It was quiet and quiet, and it was a good place to talk about yourself.
Sister Su winked at the maid following behind her, and the maid immediately stepped back respectfully, distanced herself from Sister Su and Chu Lian.
Chu Lian saw what Sister Su meant, and also waved to Wenqing Wenlan who was following her.
