When Sheng Yuan opened her eyes, the sky was still dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread into the house through the gauze on the hollow window edge, covering the furniture and decorations in the house with a light unique to the sunset.
Probably this child's body influenced Sheng Yuan, so that she wanted to find her mother as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Ling Niang, don't be angry. The old man didn't become dizzy just now. Before the eldest son was born...oh, no, no, no...it should be said that he was already dizzy before marriage, otherwise he wouldn't have indulged the man named Chang. Yelling five and six."
Sheng Yuan raised her eyebrows when she heard her father's angry words. After thinking about it secretly, she guessed that the old man her father was talking about was her grandfather Sheng Guogong. As for the boss, he was naturally her father's biological uncle and the heir apparent of Sheng Guogong. Sheng Xiangya.
Realizing that she heard her parents whispering, the sleepiness in Shengyuan's mind immediately disappeared, leaving only the nervousness and curiosity of doing bad things in her heart.
"The Duke of Guo is the head of the family in this mansion. I live in his room and eat his food, so naturally I have to suffer his grievances."
Amazing!
Sheng Yuan heard what her mother said was full of helplessness and grievance, but there was a sense of arrogance in her tone, and her words seemed to have a deeper meaning, but she couldn't seem to hear it with her little head.
But it doesn't matter if she can't hear it, her father can understand it, no, he said: "Why did Ling Niang say that? At the beginning, the Sheng family and the Zheng family had a good relationship with the two surnames. Who didn't know that the Zheng family's ten-mile beauty shocked the capital? The Zheng family even If Ling Niang lives to be a hundred years old, she has already prepared the expenses, so where can she have enough food to support her family?"
"Sanlang's words are nice, but who owns the Shengguo Palace where I live? Who do most of the maids, wives and servants we use in Yongfan Garden belong to? I live in other people's houses, use their servants, and also have If you want to accept the monthly silver from others, you don't have to respect the person they hold in the palm of your hand!"
Sheng Yuan may have listened more seriously than her father. Before her father spoke, she nodded slightly in her heart. It seemed that she quite recognized what her mother said.
She knew clearly that the person her mother was talking about whom Duke Sheng Guo held in his palm was Mrs. Chang, the concubine in her fifties in the backyard of Duke Guo's mansion.
The second and fourth masters in the house are all her sons.
Sheng Yuan remembered that the little maid in Yuanzi once gossiped that her uncle and Mrs. Chang's second grandfather were only one year apart. Thinking about it, you can see how fierce the competition was at that time.
"Ling Niang, don't worry. I understand your grievances. Please be patient. My aunt promised me before that she would give me a title when... no matter how big or small the title is, we will be able to move out of the Duke's Mansion. When the time comes, no matter how chaotic this house is, it will have nothing to do with our family of five."
Sheng Yuan also became excited after listening to this. Although the Duke's Mansion was rich and noble, the people here were really powerful. She still has a deep memory of the verbal exchanges at Zhou Zhou's banquet. Not only the women, but also the Mansion. The words of the old man and young man in the house were also sharp with swords, guns and halberds. Coupled with their smiling faces, Sheng Yuan felt that her little heart was very hurt.
"Sanlang is overthinking it. Although my aunt loves you, but when the time comes... Since my holy uncle is blessed, I haven't heard that my aunt's cousin is also becoming a knight!"
Not to mention that Zheng doesn't believe it, even Sheng Yuan doesn't believe it, but if her aunt becomes the Queen Mother and her father has a small friendship with the emperor, the treatment will definitely not be low!
Oh, by the way, her aunt is the current Queen Qin, the biological sister of her grandmother Qin; she is the daughter of two of the current princes, especially the current prince, who is the former King Hui, and his father But it's a small friendship. Well, this information was actually overheard by her parents and children.
"I don't know, my mother-in-law, my grandmother only gave birth to our wife and aunt in the Qin family. When the Chang family did something, my wife suffered a lot, and none of the men in the Qin family stood up to make the decision. At that time, my aunt was already eleven or twelve years old, and she had already I remember; later, when my grandmother died, the Qin family snatched the marriage arranged by my grandmother for my aunt, and they went around and married the good daughter-in-law of the Qin family as a side wife. After that, they ignored her even more. If our wife hadn't divided her dowry, In the past, my aunt's life was even more difficult, but it was only after she met her fate that she gradually got better."
Sheng Yuan listened to her father's revelations, and countless dramas were already playing out in her mind.
The little round face is full of surprise.
It is said that mothers and daughters are connected. Obviously, her mother was also a little excited by what her father mentioned in words. However, adults are adults after all, and they think more than a child like her. No, she reminded: "Sanlang, just say these words this once. Never say them out again in the future."
Sheng Xiangxun naturally understood the importance: "I only said this to ease your heart. I will never say anything to anyone again... I am telling you not to get angry with those villains. If it weren't for my aunt's stable residence, In the middle palace, the eldest brother may not be able to secure the position of heir apparent, but having said that, with my aunt supporting us, as long as we don't make a big joke, Ling Niang can do as she pleases, and there is no need to give her face for those who are not worthy of the spotlight. "
Sheng Yuan clicked her tongue when she heard these words. She didn't know if the villain in her father's mouth included Sheng Guogong!
"When I, Sister Huaiyuan, was a child, I had a lot of ideas over there. The few people caught in the yard eating food were actually sent to me in the name of Mrs. Liang. It shows that she had big plans. The old man wanted Xin to I don't agree with my son returning home. Xin'er is our eldest son and is just the second young master in this mansion. There is no need to get involved. If we have the time, we might as well study hard at the Zheng family."
Sheng Yuan heard her mother mention her eldest brother Sheng Xin and was immediately curious. This brother, who was twelve years older than her, had appeared during her arrest and had never been seen before. Why did she have such a crush on him? The impression is also due to the fact that this brother sends her gifts every month.
According to the gossip she overheard while pretending to be asleep, her brother was raised in front of his maternal grandparents and was a very talented child.
"I don't want Xin'er to come either. Although Mrs. Liang has no conflict with us, she has a grown-up son and a grandson. She will inevitably not think too much about the conflict between the surnamed Chang and her. Big, after all, there is an order of hierarchy. If neither the eldest brother nor I can inherit the Duke's mansion, he should be her son according to the order, and it is not the turn of the second and fourth children! After all, although the fifth child is young, he is also the legitimate son; that surname is Chang's, even though they are the royal family in the old man's heart, aren't they still concubines in name and appearance?"
When Sheng Yuan heard what her father said, she suddenly understood what it meant to have no permanent friends.
The Mrs. Liang her father mentioned was the remarried wife of Duke Sheng Guo. She was now the official wife of Duke Sheng in the palace. She only had one son, her fifth uncle Sheng Xiangjun.
Now, her fifth uncle also has a son and a daughter.
Probably because they were weak (?), Mrs. Liang and Sheng Xiangjun had a good relationship with the eldest son Sheng Xiangya and the third master Sheng Xiangxun. They cooperated from time to time to slightly correct the partiality of Sheng Guogong that was about to have nowhere to rest.
I just didn’t expect that the cooperation of more than 20 years would also have cracks.
"This is the relationship between the current main contradiction and the main contradiction in the future!" Sheng Yuan said with emotion.
