The Qing man pondered for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, when you doubted the Twenty-one Young Master, the most important thing was the heir. But now, it seems that the Twenty-one Young Master is really not in a hurry?"
The implication is that Yun Fenghuang may have really overthought it.
Yun Fenghuang himself was a little unsure. He frowned for a moment and sighed: "That's right. But Brother Twenty-one suddenly came to ask for someone. You said, although the old servant swore, the person I sent there was just to do something. This is for the Empress Dowager to see. In fact, Brother Twenty-one must remain innocent with them and have absolutely nothing to do with them! But what if Brother Twenty-one hides it deeply and deceives me?"
"But since the 21st Young Master is not in a hurry to have an heir, why do you treat the Queen and the 18th Young Master like this?" The Qing people felt that the imperial concubine might be too suspicious.
She could understand Yun Fenghuang being so cautious.
Who told Xie Xiaoyu not to do human affairs before
These are brothers who grew up together. Suddenly, the imperial concubine is acting like this. It is no wonder that the imperial concubine may not be a good person to her cousins now.
But the problem is, "My dear, please think about it, although what the Eighteenth Young Master did back then was unexpected, it was mainly due to our preconceptions and not doubting him. Otherwise, the behavior of the Eighteenth Young Master can actually be speculated. After all, Shangzhu has such an honor. With the opportunity, how many men in the world can miss it without being extremely regretful and thinking about it? At that time, His Majesty revealed that he wanted to choose a son-in-law for the three His Highnesses. I heard that the previous harems were all inspired by the news, and countless people used their own methods. , and the fight was in full swing! This is because His Majesty made it clear that he will not choose from noble families! Otherwise, the children from poor families will not even be able to get involved!"
"But this does not mean that the noble son of a noble family does not want to pay homage to the Lord. It is just that he is intimidated by His Majesty and does not dare to take action."
"Do you think how many people envied His Highness Minghui's current consort when he was first selected?"
"Your Highness Minghui is still ugly and has a bad temper. How much more is His Highness Sui'an gentle, gentle and easy to talk to?"
"You can get a princess by marrying a wife, but you can buy a government office from the plain land!"
"The Eighteenth Young Master is also a human being. How can he not be selfish at all? Didn't you also express regrets to Madam privately at the beginning, saying that if the Eighteenth Young Master never got married, how could the Master get the chance to get a big house at a cheaper price?"
Yun Fenghuang was silent.
The Qing man continued: "How calm you and your wife are, it's a pity for the Eighteenth Young Master. The Eighteenth Young Master himself is so young and energetic, how can he bear such a loss? And it's not the maid who helps the Eighteenth Young Master pull the strings To be biased, the reason why the mother and son both returned to the underworld was the responsibility of the eighteenth young lady herself. Originally, the Xie family and the Jiang family were well-matched, and they kissed each other. I won't give in to the 18th Young Master. I'm a little jealous at the wedding, so I just want to add some fun. But the question is, since you made me a concubine, are the Xie family and the Jiang family still well-matched?"
"Even if the Jiang family has a county horse, it's still the support of the empress, isn't it?"
"If the 18th Young Madam was a sensible person, she should have realized that she was not qualified to boss the 18th Young Master around and would not forgive him!"
"Yes, you are her biological cousin, and your wife is her biological aunt. But as the saying goes, should she be related to you and your wife, or is it the eighteenth young master who is related to you two? Do you even need to think about this! You He and his wife were polite and courteous, and did not look down upon her because the family name of the Jiang family was no longer as high as that of the Xie family. Instead, he vented her anger on the eighteenth young master... But as the adults said in court, at this time, the frontline The 18th young lady should stand up and be a good person, not only to help the 18th young master, but also to show her gentleness and grace! If so, why would the 18th young master kill him? "
"In the final analysis, the first eighteen young ladies couldn't figure it out. They thought they were blood relatives to you and your wife. Since you two were so polite to her, she regarded it as her blessing!"
"If she were a virtuous and virtuous person, how could the Eighteenth Young Master be forced to kill his wife and son?!"
The Qing Dynasty man said confidently, "Look at the current eighteenth young lady, she is still a high-ranking official. Even if she is a concubine, she has always been raised by her aunt, and her upbringing, treatment and status are all ten ways ahead of the eighteenth young lady? But? How could the current 18th young lady be rude to the 18th young master? So the previous 18th young lady brought it upon herself and even harmed her own children and husband! I should not have asked her to come in in the first place!"
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, thinking about the behavior and attitudes of his two sisters-in-law before and after, he was a little speechless for a moment...
Indeed, Xie Jiang, as her cousin who grew up with her, had been engaged to Xie Xiaoyu since she was a child, and had no fear of Xie Xiaoyu at all.
Even after Yun Fenghuang became a concubine, Xie Jiang was still a little restrained when she came to see her. Later, she saw that Yun Fenghuang was treating her just like before.
At that time, Yun Fenghuang didn't care. After all, one was her cousin and the other was her brother. In her eyes, they were not outsiders, but the kind of people she could absolutely trust. She is running rampant in the harem, does she still need to find a sense of presence among her own people
Therefore, not only did she not dislike Xie Jiang's generosity, but she actually enjoyed her cousin's invisibility.
As a result, Xie Jiang became even more secluded. After she caught her husband having an extramarital affair, she had no intention of settling the matter from the beginning to the end.
In her opinion, there was no need for her to settle down.
Even Yun Fenghuang didn't think there was anything wrong with helping this cousin...
On the other hand, Xiao Cui, although her background is much better than that of Xie Jiang, she grew up hearing about Concubine Min's achievements.
Even her eldest sister Cui Lianye, whom she had always looked up to, had been in the palace for many years, but was beaten so hard by the imperial concubine that she had to surrender.
Under such circumstances, how could she dare to act like a noble lady to Xie Xiaoyu after she came to the house
That is to strive to be a good wife and mother since she was newly married.
After all, from her mother's family to Shu Fei's sister-in-law to the dowry, they all hit her hard, and she had to win Xie Xiaoyu's heart.
This is the brother of Concubine Min, and the closest brother to Concubine Min. As long as Xie Xiaoyu is coaxed, not only will her position be stable, but the Cui family and Concubine Shu will also benefit.
On the other hand, if she makes Xie Xiaoyu unhappy, and Xie Xiaoyu tells Concubine Min later, then the little Cui herself, the Cui family, and Concubine Shu will probably all be in trouble... How can the little Cui dare to disobey Xie Xiaoyu
"... In any case, the eighteenth sister-in-law in front of me is, after all, the wife of the eighteenth brother, and they are even closer to each other." Yun Fenghuang finally sighed and said, "The eighteenth brother doesn't like her, so he told me in private Gong and his mother may not agree at first. But he will definitely tell his cousin in private to treat him better and don’t always make him lose face outside. If he still can’t get along with his cousin, then he will follow her I am a brother and sister, can I really force him? When the time comes, I will find a way to divorce them and get married separately. In that case, how could it end up like this? "
Qingren sighed: "Of course you said that now, but think about it, if you didn't know that the Eighteenth Young Master would do this, how could you agree to such a thing? Even if you agreed, the lady would not nod. . The first eighteen young ladies were selected by the Madam after personally inspecting many nieces in her natal family, and she was hired with the utmost courtesy... She asked the Madam to divorce her and go home. Can the Madam afford this shame? "
The most important thing is, "I'm sorry to say something unpleasant, but you and the Eighteenth Young Master grew up together. Maybe you were young and didn't notice that the Eighteenth Young Master's treatment in the clan, no, that is, in the four The treatment of the house is also far worse than yours!"
"Although he is the legitimate son, he is the youngest among the four legitimate sons of the madam. The three young masters above take up a lot of the energy of the master and the wife, and the two younger sisters below are you and the sixth lady... After the master and the wife had four sons in a row. Finally, a young lady has arrived. Where do you think you can pay attention to the 18th Young Master? When the 18th Young Master helped you target the Sixth Miss, it was not just to favor your biological sister, but also because the 18th Young Master truly resented the Sixth Miss. .”
"Because if Miss Six had not been born, he would have enjoyed the pain of being a legitimate son for several years."
However, because of Xie Fenghuan's birth, even though she was a concubine, she was taken by the Jiang family and treated as her own, no different from her legitimate daughter.
Later, Yun Fenghuang, the legitimate daughter, was born. Xie Xiaoyu, the legitimate youngest son, had no status, but did not receive all the care and treatment that other family's legitimate youngest sons received.
Moreover, Yun Fenghuang was not an economical person yet. He started fighting with his concubine sister when he was a little old, and his endless tricks made the four families run wild.
Jiang was exhausted just to deal with the conflict between the two daughters, so how could he care about Xie Xiaoyu
"The Eighteenth Young Master is different from you." Qingren looked at Yun Fenghuang with a complicated expression, "You have been favored since childhood, if you are not happy about it, you should say it on the spot. If it is not done for you immediately, you Not only will you get angry, you will also have various means to express dissatisfaction... So from childhood to adulthood, whenever you say something bad, do you think someone will immediately take care of it for you? But this is not the case for the Eighteenth Young Master. Very few people care about him, and although he lacks everything that a legitimate son should have, the preference and attention that you and Miss Six have enjoyed are rare."
"If you think he is dissatisfied with the eighteenth young lady, you can tell him..."
"But this is you."
"Young Master 18, he can't speak out."
"He made some requests when he was a child, but the master and his wife were too busy to take care of them."
"Other elders don't even care..."
"So the Eighteenth Young Master feels that his request is difficult for his family to understand and agree to."
"About the divorce with the eighteenth young lady, and they will marry each other. In his opinion, for such a big thing, first of all, if he speaks out, he will definitely be blamed; secondly, if he speaks out, it will be useless. If you and the madam don't agree, he won't agree at all. It’s impossible to reconcile.”
"So he'd rather do it himself."
"And I was just taking a chance afterwards and didn't dare to let you know."
"So, Madam, there is no need for you to doubt the Consort because of the Eighteenth Young Master... You are different from the Eighteenth Young Master, and so is the Consort."
Yun Fenghuang listened with a complicated look on his face, unable to speak for a long time.
