Chapter 321: Second Uncle is Going to Take a Concubine
mpress, and now she is the Empress Dowager. Could she not know That's not a temper at all, it's a personality trait she was born with. 。Let no one provoke him, and all will live in peace. That's good...Ye Wen sat in the chair, crossing his legs and looking at everyone present. 。The old lady's expression was flustered, Aunt-in-law stared wide-eyed, and Xiao Shi had the expression of "Why did you bring me along". 。The three of them were a mess of emotions, it was quite a spectacle, so captivating that it even made Ye Wen, who usually kept a cool head, sway with excitement. He almost started to dance right there. 。Mu felt her posture was not quite right, but she hesitated. Although she acknowledged deep down that this was her own daughter, there were many times when she remained cautious, afraid that the wrong word or tone would upset her daughter. 。If she were to leave in a fit of anger again, that would mean taking her biological daughter's body with her. That was something she couldn't bear. 。Her current attitude toward Ye Wen is one of indulgence and pampering. This stance was a result of much deliberation on her part. 。Besides fearing that Ye Wen might suddenly leave, the most important reason was that she discovered this child was a very independent person, and also a very capable one. She had her own thoughts and way of doing things, and she also had strong backing. 。So she was not afraid that this child would go astray or take the wrong path, nor did she believe that this child would be taken advantage of. She didn't need to interfere in this child's life at all; she just needed to provide the utmost trust and freedom. This way, their relationship would remain harmonious and enduring. 。So usually at night, when Mu Shi is doing anything, she won't care. Even if she thinks her posture is unsightly, she won't say anything. 。But Yefei Zhou spoke, he poked Ye Wenyan with his hand and reminded in a low voice: "Sit still!"Ye Wenyan replied, "This way is comfortable, and it's more domineering" 。"
Many people heard this, and Aunt-grandmother Tang did not have a brain cramp or anything. She suddenly said: “A daughter of the Jiang family would not sit like that” 。He seemed to react to what he had done and immediately covered his mouth. It was too late, though. 。Ye Wen was about to laugh, she turned her head and said to Mu Shi: "Mother, listen to this, still calling it the Jiang family's this and that. She can't wait to turn the First Rank General's Mansion into the Jiang Residence!" 。Then look at Tang, “Don’t worry, my maid isn’t already gone She will be back soon with the plaque. Then I’ll have drums and gongs to replace it for you, so that everyone in Lin'an City will know that your Jiang family forcefully seized the mansion during broad daylight.” 。“By the way, what’s your mother-in-law's maiden name” Night Qingmei immediately followed up: “Surname Tang” 。"
Mrs. Tang panicked: “What do you want to know about my family”
Ye Wen said righteously: "Isn't this following your own rules You are the in-laws of my grandmother, so when you do something wrong, you naturally have to bring out your in-laws to explain. Isn't that right Tang family, ah, forgive my ignorance, I don't really know which family the Tang family is, let alone where they are " 。But it's alright, I still have a few people under me. I'll have them handle this right away. Rest assured, we'll definitely get the entire Tang family involved in this. 。She raised her hand as she spoke, an action that puzzled Mrs. Tang, but Old Madam understood it all too well. 。"This is calling for someone! "
The old lady was terrified and cried out, "Put your hands down! Put your hands down quickly! There's no need to call anyone, this matter doesn't need to be dealt with, this matter won't get out..." 。Your great-aunt definitely never had any intentions of taking over our prestigious First General's Mansion, and the Jiang family has never dreamed of taking control of the Ye family. 。"Ye Wen, you shouldn't talk nonsense. How can such a serious accusation be thrown around so casually"
Tang finally reacted and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I didn't want to be the head of the Ye family, nor did I want to seize their estate." 。I am an elder, I'm only teaching my juniors a lesson, don't take things so seriously. 。"Ye Wenyan was dissatisfied with this explanation: "Even those who are punished should be punished according to the rules of the Ye family. Why do you keep talking about the rules of the Jiang family Isn't that obvious telling us that even though this is the residence of a first-rank general, since our grandfather is gone, if we want to live well in the future, we have to abide by the rules of the Jiang family. If even one person disobeys, the Jiang family will send someone to reprimand and punish us." 。Yesterday, my maternal grandfather scolded my aunt in the front yard. Today, my aunt's mother-in-law scolded my mother in the Fu Lu courtyard. It seems that your Jiang family is dissatisfied with both the current and former head mistresses of our Ye family! What are you going to do about it Shouldn't the Jiang family send someone to take over the Ye family"
As soon as these words were uttered, Xiao Shi's heart began to churn.
"Send someone to take over the Nightingale's House How"
Just then, Mrs. Liu, who had been silent all along, suddenly pondered: "Last night, this concubine accompanied Fifth Sister to Fu Luyuan. The reason was that Fifth Sister's qin master hasn't received his silver for this month, so Fifth Sister asked me to come to the mansion..."
Wu Jie thought that this matter was arranged by the old lady, so she should tell the old lady first, so she came to Fu Lu Courtyard. 。The result just walked into the house, before even entering the inner room, he heard his aunt talking to the old lady. 。"Silence!" The old matriarch was somewhat flustered and loudly stopped Liu from continuing. 。“To eavesdrop on your elders, is that something you’re even ashamed of Don’t you worry about what people will think”
Mrs. Liu quickly stood up and bowed to the old madam. “I know I was wrong, but it was just bad timing, and my mother-in-law’s voice was too loud, so as soon as we entered the hall, we could hear…” 。“
The old lady slapped the table again, “Be quiet! Don’t you understand what I’m saying”
At this moment, Xiao suddenly interjected: "Why don't we let Sister Liu finish her words"
"
The old matriarch was furious, "How dare you get involved She's just a concubine, what right does she have to speak in this situation" Then she glared at Madam Liu, "Get back to your room!"
Madam Liu was terrified of the old matriarch. If the old matriarch told her to leave, she would leave without hesitation. But before leaving, she still glanced at Madam Xiao. " 。Just this one glance, Xiao didn't do anything, but she went against the old lady. At that time, she said, "We can't leave, tell me clearly what you heard..." 。"
Now, she looked at the old lady again, "It's not that I'm being disrespectful to my mother as a daughter-in-law. It's just that today's matter involves my aunt. If I swallow half of what I want to say, people will inevitably suspect that there is something wrong with my aunt. Mother, do you want to cover for her Mother, I have been married into the Ye family for so many years, and I have always put the Ye family first, giving birth to children and raising them well. I have never complained." 。My uncle came to my house yesterday asking for money. I gave him some of my own private savings. 。If they want money, fine. But if they're going to take our homes too, then we can't just sit around and wait any longer. 。"Xiao shi wan, didn't even wait for the old madam to speak, directly ordered Liu shi: “Stand down, tell everyone what you heard last night, word by word, not a single word less" 。"
Lady Liu immediately nodded, turned around, and regardless of what expression the old madam wore, she bowed her head slightly and said: “Last night, I followed Fifth Sister to see the old madam. As soon as we entered the main hall, I heard my mother-in-law talking to the old madam in a back room...” 。Auntie, now that the two of us are the heads of the household, we can't be as carefree as before. 。Whether you are outside or at home, you should always act like the head of the household. Firstly, you need to prioritize having children. 。Now, the third young lady is practically a cripple, and the second young master is good for nothing. The fifth sister is a concubine's daughter. With such a group of children, what will happen to the second old master in the future!” The old madam wanted to silence Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Xiao interrupted her, asking, “What happened next”Mrs. Liu continued, “Then the old madam sighed and said that over the years, they had truly wasted the second old master. Because he wasn't the head of the family, he didn't consider the second branch much. He just thought it was good enough to have sons and daughters, but he never expected that after he became the head of the family, his children wouldn't be good enough. " 。Especially the second young master, he was even more of a pampered one. 。“
Mrs. Liu glanced secretly at Ye Fei Zhou, seeing that he didn't react in any way before she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Besides that, Old Madam also lamented that Second Madam, you are getting older. She previously put her face on the line to ask a physician to check your health, but the physician said that Second Madam has a cold body and it is difficult to conceive..." 。Upon hearing this from the elder madam, her aunt suggested finding a girl from within the Chiang family to be sent to the General's Mansion as a secondary wife. This way, any children born would also be considered legitimate heirs. 。And since the Jiang family came, they would definitely be on the same side as the old matriarch and look out for each other. 。“ This matter should be left to the old madam, Aunt. You should recommend some candidates to the old madam.” 。The Chiang family also had an illegitimate daughter, who was the mistress's younger sister. The old lady was in her teens... 。When she married into the Chiang family, that illegitimate daughter was still a child. When the time came for her to marry, it was still this elder sister-in-law who took care of everything. 。For so many years, the relationship between that young mistress and her sister-in-law has always been good. So she knew that the young mistress had given birth to a daughter who is now nineteen years old, beautiful and kind-hearted, and eager to marry a good man, so she hasn't left the house yet. 。Even though the young lady is still quite young, she is considered an equal to the two old masters because she is the nephew of one of them. 。This brother-in-law and sister-in-law are a match made in heaven, so why not just get married Bring that girl into the family as a secondary wife. 。“After Madam Liu finished speaking, she leaned forward to the elderly madam and said, “I truly didn't mean to eavesdrop. My aunt’s voice was just too loud. Even though the servants had already entered the room to report, she continued talking. It was simply impossible not to hear her.” 。The old madam was so angry that her eyes were rolling in their sockets, and they were directed right at Mrs. Tang. 。Leaving this sister-in-law behind was originally to have someone to keep me company, to talk things over with and get advice from. 。To her surprise, since Tang entered the house, she hadn't accomplished anything and everything fell into other people's hands, becoming a handle for them to use against her. She truly regretted her decision! If only she had known that she would cause so much trouble, she wouldn't have kept Tang in the mansion. 。But now it's too late for everything. 。Liu returned to her chair, and Ye Wen's laughter rang out again, "How is it Let me take charge! I really sent a member of the Jiang family over to take over our Ye family" 。"Aunt, my second uncle is about to have a concubine!"Do you really think what you did went unnoticed Quan Qinghua, how you choose to avenge yourself or even slaughter your own brother is none of my business. But taking Ye Chulian away like that is just...
