By then, the cousin will no longer be favored, and then they move out of the Duke's Mansion. From now on, she will be invisible to everyone and will no longer be able to hang out in the upper class circles. After all, her husband failed in the imperial examination and did not become an official himself. The old Duke helped Yinfeng to be a sixth-grade idle official. This status was considered to be the lower-middle class in the capital.
Can Mrs. Wednesday not lament when she thinks about being in the middle and lower classes in the future? Thinking about it, my fortune seems to have deteriorated a lot recently, and there is resistance to everything I do.
Mrs. Wednesday guessed that after Mrs. Zhou's death, they would be asked to move out of Cheng'en Palace, which was naturally what she expected.
After burying Mrs. Zhou, Linlang sent someone to inform them of this matter.
Although this was expected by Mrs. Zhou on Wednesday, Mrs. Zhou still struggled for a moment and said, "Isn't the second bedroom still in the house? Why should we move out?"
Although living in the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, the expenses are his own, but after all, his status as the Duke's Mansion is good for his family. For example, he can continue to get in touch with people in the upper class, and he can also arrange for the marriage of his children. There are also benefits, so naturally she doesn't want to leave.
Linlang listened to Mrs. Zhou's words and said: "Let's ask the old lady. If the old lady hadn't taken away all the houses allocated to the second and third bedrooms when the family was separated, the second bedroom would have moved out long ago, and she wouldn't have moved out because of it. I don’t have a house to live in, so I live in the Duke’s Mansion. As for you, you have several houses, aren’t they enough for you to live in? Since you have a house, your family is divided, and your parents are no longer here, you naturally have to move out.”
Mrs. Zhou knew that what Linlang said was just an excuse. Even if she didn't have a house, Linlong would find reasons to drive them away.
But she couldn't help but imagine that if the old lady hadn't snatched up all the houses and given Linlang this excuse, Linlang would not have kicked them out. After all, they didn't need a big house to pay for the expenses, they only needed to live in the house for a while. , just take advantage of the hidden benefits of the Duke's Mansion, like the second bedroom, I don't think Linlang would object.
After all, if you don't have a house, you can live in the Duke's Mansion, which is much more valuable than having a house, because those houses are worth so much, but the invisible benefits of living in the Duke's Mansion are not something you can get with that little money. of.
Being able to live in the Duke's Mansion was a benefit that no one else could ask for, but it was a pity that they easily ruined it.
Therefore, it can be seen that blessings and misfortunes depend on it. Sometimes you get a lot of money at the same time, which may not be a good thing, and you may lose other benefits in the future.
I have to say that what Mrs. Zhou thought was not entirely unreasonable, but there was a prerequisite for this, that is, they did not have any conflict with the big house. Otherwise, Linlong would have kicked them out regardless of whether they had a house or not.
Linlang drove away the third-bedroom apartment, mainly because he disliked the third-bedroom apartment. Otherwise, they would have to bear the expenses of the third-bedroom apartment by themselves, and the Duke's mansion was very big, so there would be no problem for them to live here like a second-bedroom apartment.
But the key is not that there are three bedrooms plus an old lady. Didn’t you always find trouble in the big house in the past? Linlang naturally couldn't tolerate this.
The third room couldn't stay, so she had to leave. However, before leaving, Mrs. Zhou went to the palace and told her cousin the matter. She just wanted to see if her cousin could help her, such as talking to the imperial concubine. Linlang talked about this and asked herself to stay.
But the imperial concubine could only scold the Zhou family's family a few times with her cousin, but she couldn't do anything to the Zhou family's family.
She used to want to win over Duke Zhou, and when her cousin cried to her about the elder room bullying the third room, she didn't dare to call the original body over to reprimand her, so she could only tell the beauty to disgust the original body; now something happened to Duke Zhou, although she didn't need to win over Duke Zhou, but she was about to She fell out of favor, so naturally she didn't dare to reprimand Linlang, for fear that this matter would reach the ears of the emperor, and the emperor, who had a good relationship with Zhou Guogong, would be angry with her, making her fall even more out of favor, so naturally she could only scold the third house and the third house a few times. Don't dare to do anything.
As a result, the imperial concubine's insults, which she thought were nothing, reached the emperor's ears. The emperor was unhappy with the imperial concubine and reprimanded her, saying that she did not sympathize with Zhou Guogong because something like that had happened to him. The eldest family member also helped the third family member who stayed in the house and refused to leave, scolding the eldest family member for not knowing what was right and wrong.
The imperial concubine Xun was frightened to death.
Fortunately, the emperor said that it was her first offense, so he would record the demerit for the time being and would not demote her status. If he found her cursing the Cheng'en Palace like this next time, it would not be a matter of reprimanding her.
This was something that would never happen when she was favored in the past. The imperial concubine clearly felt her situation. Sure enough, she had fallen out of favor. Otherwise, it would be nothing to complain. In the past, she had helped her cousin to complain to everyone. The emperor didn't say anything.
After this incident, the imperial concubine became cautious when speaking in the palace. She did not dare to be as wild as when she was favored before. She dared to say anything, for fear that it would reach the ears of the emperor again and the emperor would really demote her.
She has not forgotten that the newlywed has now become a royal concubine. If she wants to advance, she will have no place, because there can only be one imperial concubine, and now this position is occupied by her.
If the emperor really likes the newcomer, in order to make room for her, he will definitely find fault with her, and then demote her position to make way for the newcomer.
Knowing that the emperor might do this in the future, could the imperial concubine not be cautious? In this way, even if the emperor finds some inexplicable reason to demote her in the future, the fault is not hers, but to the emperor, this is a good thing for her reputation and beneficial to her son. After all, her son cannot have a bad reputation. My mother, otherwise the civil servants will find fault.
Not to mention what happened to the imperial concubine in the palace, but to say that Mrs. Wednesday saw that her cousin could not help her, so she left the Chengen Palace in disappointment and went to the best house in their name, which was not far from the main house. After all, Duke Chengen's Mansion is in a good place, and a good house must be in a good location, so it's normal that it's not far away.
Mrs. Zhou lives here on Wednesday, still thinking about one day repairing her relationship with the Cheng'en Palace, and continuing to interact with the upper class circles by going around the Cheng'en Palace.
No way, her natal family's conditions were average - before the imperial concubine became prosperous, her family and her cousin's family had very average conditions. That is to say, after the imperial concubine became prosperous, her cousin's family became more prosperous - so she relied on her natal family to stay in the upper class. It's obviously not possible to mix in circles.
In the past, I could still rely on my cousin's natal family to move around in the upper class circles, but now my cousin has fallen out of favor, and my cousin's natal family has become much more deserted. I can no longer rely on my cousin's family, but the Cheng'en Palace is even better.
But what Mrs. Zhou wants to do is basically impossible to come true. After all, no one will forget how Mrs. Zhou and the people from the third house made trouble for the big house back then, and they still wanted to repair their relationship and dream about it.
Not mentioning Mrs. Zhou’s thoughts, she said that after Mrs. Zhou passed away and left the third room, Linlang felt that the air in the house was much fresher. After all, who likes to live under the same roof with annoying people?
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou didn't live long. If she lived to her seventies or eighties, stayed alive for a while, and stayed under the same roof with such a person for decades, she would be depressed to death.
