"How can I have an appetite if I have things in my heart? It's better this time. Brother Youzhen's words finally put my heart back in my stomach."
Li Qingyi glanced at the sky outside: "It's getting dark now. Why don't my aunt stay in the palace to accompany the old lady tonight? I guess you haven't had a good talk for a long time."
Gongsun Wanyan hesitated for a moment. .
It's rare for a married daughter to go back to her parents' home because of trivial matters at home, and secondly, because she's afraid that her aunts and sisters-in-law will talk about her.
But she didn't know how to politely refuse Li Qingyi. After all, he had just helped her. Just as she was hesitating, she heard Li Qingyi say: "I will send a mother-in-law to the Song family to report the good news and tell them so that they can feel relieved as soon as possible." That’s it.”
Li Qingyi asked his mother-in-law to report that Gongsun Wanyan was going to stay in the east courtyard of the palace, so the Song family did not dare to say anything.
Gongsun Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll trouble my niece-in-law."
It's true that she hasn't had a heart-to-heart talk with her mother for a long time.
Li Qingyi smiled, called Changning in and told her to go to the Song family.
When Chang Ning went out, Gongsun Wanyan saw Li Qingyi smiling but did not speak. He thought to himself that since the other party asked to leave her to sit for a while, he just glared at her for no reason. Did he want to say something?
But why didn't you speak?
If she doesn't speak, she is waiting for herself to speak.
What did she want him to say to her?
After all, Gongsun Wanyan lived for more than thirty years. Thinking of Li Qingyi's kindness at today's family dinner, he said tentatively: "Actually, my mother is not a bad-hearted person, but she is a bit stubborn. As for the grudges and grudges that happened many years ago... Alas, when my eldest brother wanted to marry the criminal daughter of the Xiao family, my mother refused. One reason was for the sake of the whole family, and the other was because she was afraid of affecting my eldest brother's future. My mother's love for her son, niece-in-law, may you understand?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "I can understand this."
What she said was not a lie.
There are not many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who get along well, but it has to be said that they are only a minority. After all, a woman's son who has worked hard to raise is snatched away by another woman in the blink of an eye. It is not a good feeling for anyone. It depends on how the man balances the mother. relationship with his wife.
If a man has a good internal and external balance, he means that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious. If a man lacks this strength, or if either mother-in-law or daughter-in-law refuses to accept it, then there will be intrigues and intrigues.
She said: "The late princess is the daughter of a sinner. It is inevitable for the old lady to have many considerations. The most fatal thing is that her son actually had a big fight with her because of the late princess, and even threatened to become a monk. I believe that my father-in-law was originally I chose to do this because I had no choice but to do so, but the consequences of this have indeed hurt the old lady as a mother. It is strange that she can like the late princess."
Gongsun Wanyan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He didn't expect Li Qingyi to be able to see through this at his teenage age.
Even she herself slowly understood her mother's feelings after she got married, became a wife, a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a child.
"You are right, my mother was indeed very sad at the beginning, and I was also..." Gongsun Wanyan hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "I also went to have a fight with my elder brother because of this, not only because she broke my mother's heart. , and I’m also afraid of affecting my marriage.”
Li Qingyi nodded, "It's human nature."
Gongsun Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what she said, and said: "Although my mother was angry and sad, which parent in the world who loves their children can really resist their own children? In the end, she compromised, but she always felt sorry for her sister-in-law. There is resentment."
Li Qingyi nodded and followed her words, slowly tempting her to continue: "Although the old lady did not like the late princess, she did not reach out to harm her life, which shows that the old lady is not a vicious person."
Gongsun Wanyan nodded in agreement, "You are right. It is true that the mother-in-law plots against her daughter-in-law's life for some reasons, but my mother is not that kind of person. Except for one time, my mother made a mistake..."
She paused hesitantly.
Li Qingyi knew that she was talking about Meng Ruyi, but he did not make it clear and only waited for Gongsun Wanyan to reveal it himself.
Gongsun Wanyan sighed, "As for this,
I won’t hide these things about old sesame and rotten millet from you. After the sister-in-law came in, the mother held her breath in her heart. She did want to tease her, but it was just the usual small tricks used by ordinary housekeepers. But the eldest brother couldn't even stand it. After tossing her a few times, he ended up with it. On the grounds that her sister-in-law was in poor health, she was asked to recuperate in the yard so she didn't have to go out for a walk. She even skipped her mother's morning and evening check-ups. Tell me, are you angry that this matter has been placed on you? "
Li Qingyi was a little bit dumbfounded. Her father-in-law was indeed a bit too direct without any roundabout ways. The consequences of doing so would only make the old lady more hostile to her daughter-in-law.
But the late princess is a smart person and should be able to advise the prince.
She asked her question, and Gongsun replied politely: "Sister-in-law is indeed not stupid, but at that time, she had just learned about the Xiao family's affairs, so how could she have the mood to care about who liked her or not? The prince was also considerate of her heart. She was depressed, so she told her not to go out and take care of other things, so the sister-in-law just followed the trend.
But even so, my sister-in-law's health is getting worse and worse. To put it bluntly, if my eldest sister-in-law died of illness one day, my mother would be able to marry someone else for her eldest brother. So when my mother saw how ill she was, she had no intention of getting angry with her. But I never thought that my sister-in-law was in poor health and she was pregnant. "
Seeing that she had hit the point, Li Qingyi asked: "Although the old lady doesn't like the late princess, from what my aunt said, it doesn't seem like it's a matter of life and death. The birth of the eldest grandson should be able to ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Why?" The old lady is very unhappy with the uncle. What can the uncle say? He is also the prince’s first son. Doesn’t the old lady love the house and the bird?"
She went through the list written by Tong's mother carefully, and after eliminating some people, she handed it over to Qin Zeng for checking. The people at Qin Zeng's hands were more efficient at doing things and quickly gave her the answer.
On the day of the full moon banquet, Mrs. Boyang Hou came into the house to congratulate her. She was accompanied by a very special person, Master Zhizhen.
Master Zhizhen’s reputation is comparable to that of Master Honghua, who is proficient in Buddhism at Dapudu Temple. Compared with the former liar Miaohui, who was just trying to gain fame, she is truly capable. But unlike Master Honghua, Master Zhizhen is amazing. The place is not in Buddhism, but in telling people’s fortunes.
It is said that she is the one who has opened her eyes.
Even when Li Qingyi was still young, his grandmother asked to see Master Zhizhen, hoping that she could read Li Qingyi's fate, but she was unable to find Master Zhizhen, who traveled all over the world and had no fixed address.
For such a hard-to-find expert, Mrs. Boyanghou used some method to invite her.
