"A concubine of the Zhen family, when she became the Queen Mother, she didn't look down on me as a sister-in-law." Mrs. Li handed over the note twice, but was told that the Queen Mother has been tired recently and doesn't want to see people.
Mrs. Li couldn't help complaining to the people around her, especially when she learned that Mrs. Zhou had been summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother and talked for a long time, she became even more angry.
"I don't want to think about who is her natal family, the Feng family or the Zhen family?" Ms. Li continued to complain.
Daughter-in-law, Xiao Li, sat aside and didn't know how to answer the question.
"I heard that Mrs. Feng just came back from Huaicheng. Her father was a great scholar of the time and had a teacher-student relationship with the late emperor. It is unknown that the Queen Mother summoned her to care about Zhou Daru's health out of etiquette." Little Li replied.
She is both mother-in-law and aunt. When she was young, she was known to be calm and taciturn. However, after becoming the top talker in the Zhen Mansion, she gradually became suspicious, narrow-minded and intolerant. When she got older, she often beat and scolded people and things that did not go her way. .
Now even the Queen Mother is complaining.
"Zhou Daru is a cover-up. Who doesn't know about her and Feng Ying when she was young?" Li spat without any scruples.
These words frightened little Mrs. Li to stand up, and couldn't help but remind her mother-in-law: "Mom, please be careful what you say."
If this word spreads, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will interfere with the fact that the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion is the Queen Mother's home, but the Zhongjing Hou Mansion is not that easy to offend. With the temper of the old Marquis, it will be a blessing if the Zhen Guo Duke is not demolished. .
Little Li didn't know why there was a feud between her mother-in-law and the Queen Mother's sister-in-law.
Obviously, when the Queen Mother accompanied the late Emperor from the border to the palace to become the Queen, she had great respect for the Li family. She overturned the case of the Zhen Mansion and allowed her own man to inherit the title of Duke of Zhen Guo.
How come after becoming the Queen Mother, she became more and more impatient with Duke Zhen Guo, her attitude towards Li became colder, and she even became very cold towards Duke Zhen Guo.
On the contrary, he treated her as his nephew and wife as usual.
"If you speak carefully, there are still people who can't tell the truth. When she first accompanied the late emperor to the throne, the senior ministers in the court objected to her becoming the queen, and asked the late emperor to choose a noble girl to enter the middle palace. Thanks to our Zhen family and you Please support me, otherwise a concubine with nothing may not be able to become a queen. Now that her son has become the emperor, she feels like an abandoned son to your master." Mrs. Li said.
Little Li had no choice but to lower her head and listen to her mother-in-law's complaints, but she had a different opinion in her heart. The old minister did not compromise when he opposed the late emperor. Who didn't know that the late emperor had only the Queen Mother by his side from beginning to end, and the late emperor never had any concubines in his life?
The reason why the Zhen Mansion was able to assist the Queen Mother was not because of the support of the late Emperor.
"Mom, the Queen Mother is very considerate. Since ancient times, the relatives' homes have been put on the fire. Now that I am idle at home, it is the Queen Mother's protection of our Zhen family." Little Li said to be fair to the Queen Mother.
"What do you know? Your father was also a prostitute and a prime minister at the beginning. Not only this, but also our uncle. I heard that the emperor also reprimanded him recently."
The uncle Li mentioned was Fan Shijie.
When she saw the Queen Mother, she was also entrusted by her own daughter.
Seeing that Mrs. Li couldn't be moved, Xiao Li simply shut up. Anyway, it was not easy for her, a woman, to get involved in court affairs.
"...The old concubine passed away that day. I heard in the palace that the Queen Mother has been talking about sister Fu recently, mother, we might as well go and find her... maybe she is still alive..." Little Li said suddenly.
When Mrs. Li heard Zhen Fu's name, she felt as if she had been bitten by a ghost, with a trace of panic on her face, and then shouted: "What Zhen Fu, she is already dead. Even if the Queen Mother misses her again, she will not come back after she dies." ”
Aunt Zhang behind Ms. Li trembled slightly.
Little Mrs. Li really didn't understand why her aunt and mother-in-law were so excited whenever the matter of the second bedroom was mentioned. She was even unhappy when the Queen Mother reversed the case for the second bedroom.
When she was a teenager, she went to the Zhen Mansion as a guest, played with Zhen Fu, and had a sisterly relationship. When the Zhen Mansion was defeated, Zhen Fu disappeared. After she got married to her cousin, who is now the Duke of Zhen, she repeatedly mentioned to him that she should go to the private sector to look for her, but he always said that manpower was not enough.
Li was certain that Zhen Fu was dead.
…
The turmoil in the capital did not affect the life of Shenshu Village.
Let's get through whatever we should, and the same goes for Lao Bai's family.
Aunt Chen was slapped away by Mrs. Zhen, but what left the Lao Bai family speechless was that Aunt Chen did not take Chen Xuan'er away.
Chen Xuan'er just lived in Lao Bai's house as if there was no one else.
It's not easy for Lao Bai's family to care about a girl.
Bai Sanzhuang was going to open a new shop in Huaicheng for a long time. Tian Maimiao's belly was getting bigger. He was worried about Tian Maimiao being alone in Nanguan Town, so he sent Tian Maimiao to Shenshu Village to raise a baby before going to Huaicheng.
This was the first time for Chen Xuan'er to see Tian Maimiao.
When she saw Bai Sanzhuang carefully helping Tian Maimiao out of the carriage, she felt sour in her heart.
When she saw Qingtian Maimiao dressed in silk, she felt even more jealous.
If her parents hadn't ruined her baby marriage with Bai Sanzhuang, everything Tian Maimiao was wearing at this moment belonged to her.
"Third sister-in-law." Xiao Fuyuan left school. When he saw his third brother and his third sister-in-law returning home, he was very happy to greet him.
The third sister-in-law's belly has grown bigger, and Xiao Fuyuan is already looking forward to the arrival of her nephew.
"Sister, take a look at the good things your third brother brought you from Huaicheng." Tian Maimiao ordered the following men to unload the things from the carriage.
"There are also things belonging to grandma and aunt." Tian Maimiao learned that Grandma Du and Luo Shi were at Bai's house, and he also brought them gifts.
Grandma Du and Luo Shi sighed inwardly at Tian Maimiao's thoughtfulness, while holding her hand and caring about her physical condition.
"...My cousin is in Huaicheng now. I heard Sanzhuang said that he can learn how to do things in the store and has a business acumen at a young age." Tian Maimiao knew that Luo Shi was worried about Du Nian, so he took the initiative to disclose Du Nian's situation. To Roche.
When Luo Shi heard that his son was so promising, his eyes became red.
"Third cousin." Chen Xuan'er was left out in the cold for a long time, and she called out to Bai Sanzhuang rather aggrievedly.
Bai Sanzhuang nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Tian Maimiao, and he said worriedly: "Hurry up and sit down and rest."
He then grabbed the little Fuyuan who was following behind and brought her to Tian Maimiao, and said to her: "Sister, give your third sister-in-law a hug and let her enjoy your blessing."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Chen Xuan'er felt even more aggrieved.
When she learned that Bai Sanzhuang was going home, she dressed up specially. Unexpectedly, her third cousin didn't even look at her.
She could still digest her eldest cousin's coldness to her, but her third cousin was the one who arranged a baby wedding for her, and she couldn't stand his coldness.
"This is cousin Xuan'er." Tian Maimiao glanced at Chen Xuan'er with aggrieved eyes and said hello.
"Third cousin sister-in-law." Chen Xuan'er called out reluctantly.
"This is the first time I'm meeting cousin Xuan'er. I haven't had time to buy you anything, so I'll give this piece of satin to cousin Xuan'er to make clothes." Tian Maimiao took out a piece of satin and handed it to Chen Xuan'er.
This piece of satin was originally intended to be given to Luo Shi's cousin. Since Chen Xuan'er gave it to her here first, Luo Shi probably wouldn't mind, not to mention that this was just one of several pieces of satin given to Luo Shi.
"Thank you, cousin." Chen Xuan'er touched the satin and thanked her. Her eyes glanced at a lot of things on the table. Those were all given by Bai Sanzhuang to Xiao Fuyuan from Huaicheng. There were not only food and things to play with, but also several horses. Fashionable satin.
So many good things, but only one piece of satin was given to her.
This third cousin sister-in-law is too stingy.
