The female members of the Bai family all came out to greet Xu and Cuicui.
For a moment, he couldn't care about the Chen sisters.
Chen Jinger stood in the upper room and looked outside.
"Sister, that is the prefect's wife."
Chen Jing'er saw an extraordinary noble lady holding Zhen's hand and smiling happily, as close as a pair of biological sisters.
Chen Xuan'er didn't need to introduce this lady, she recognized her.
When Mrs. Xu was still the wife of the county magistrate, Chen Jing'er was led by her mother-in-law to gain access to the county magistrate through her.
But Mrs. Xu was so arrogant that she didn't want to talk to her at all. She didn't even let her drink tea and returned the hairpin ring intact.
At that time, her husband's family scolded her for being useless.
Now that Mrs. Xu has become the wife of the prefect, their family is even more out of reach.
Chen Jing'er was surprised and happy.
I really didn’t expect that my aunt’s house would be visited by the prefect’s wife. It seemed like she had come to the right place.
Although it was ironic that she had eaten her aunt's meal, when the prefect's wife came, her aunt would not drive her away in public. She decided to show her shamelessness and refused to leave.
Not only did he not leave, but he also tried to gain access to the prefect's wife for his own use.
Her father-in-law wanted to open a herbal medicine shop in Huaicheng. Since Huaicheng already had a well-known herbal medicine shop, her husband's herbal medicine shop could not open up, and her father-in-law was worried all day long.
If she can take the opportunity to expand her family's herbal medicine shop through the relationship with the prefect's wife, and she gains face in front of her parents-in-law, can that little bitch from outside the family still climb over her?
She has always wondered why her aunt's shop opened so smoothly in Huaicheng. Needless to say, the prefect's wife must have contributed to this.
"That girl's name is Cuicui, the nephew of the prefect. It was originally said to be for the fourth cousin, but now it is said to be for the fifth cousin." Chen Xuan'er felt sour in her heart. There was nothing she could do about her little cousin being favored by the whole family. Who let Xiao Fuyuan be? The only daughter of the Bai family.
But Cuicui, who stepped in halfway, actually won the unanimous love of her aunt's family.
As for her, she wanted to marry her fourth cousin, but her aunt's family didn't like her.
"My aunt said that you dislike the poor and love the rich. I think my aunt's family even dislikes the poor and loves the rich. She thinks I am not good enough for my fourth cousin, where is Cuicui? What's so good about Cuicui? Look at her, she doesn't look like a lady at all. My aunt and her whole family are fawning over her, and it's not because she is the niece of the prefect." Chen Xuan'er stood behind Chen Jing'er with an indignant look on her face.
Chen Jing'er didn't answer, she just felt that her sister was hopelessly stupid.
Who would leave the good magistrate's niece alone and not climb up to her?
"You're stupid too. You've lived at her house for so long and you haven't been able to win over your aunt. You didn't even catch your fourth cousin when they came to you. Who can you rely on?" Chen Jing'er said coldly.
Chen Jing'er looked at the girl who was holding Xiao Fu Yuan's hand and smiling brightly, and sighed in her heart that her fifth cousin was so lucky that he could get into this good marriage because he only knew how to play with guns and sticks.
"You've spent so much time at your aunt's house, do you know how your aunt's family network is connected?"
The Bai family used to be a poor peasant family with no food to eat. If the Bai family had a network like the prefect in the past, Chen Jing'er would not believe it.
If it was because of the relationship between her third cousin, she didn't believe that a merchant could be related to the prefect.
There is only one possibility, that is the aunt the Queen Mother mentioned by her mother.
When Chen Jing'er learned that the current Queen Mother was her mother's aunt, she beamed with joy. She also learned from her mother that her aunt refused to recognize her, but she didn't believe it, so her mother foolishly believed her aunt's words.
Sure enough, my aunt led the Lao Bai family to great success, regardless of the life and death of her mother and the two sisters.
If the Queen Mother also recognized her, what would Eunuch Li Zheng be?
She will inevitably be made a village head or a princess or something like her little cousin, and when the time comes, she will have the foreign minister kneel down to serve her.
She originally wanted to let her aunt test out the Queen Mother's story, but she didn't expect that her aunt wouldn't give her a chance at all, and would chase her away in a hurry.
This made Chen Jing'er feel that her aunt was deliberately not letting her mother and the Queen Mother recognize each other.
"What kind of network? I don't know. I only know that the prefect's family has a good relationship with my aunt's family," Chen Xuan'er said.
Chen Jing'er shook her head. Her sister didn't know the Queen Mother's relationship yet.
"Sister, let's go. Auntie's words are so unpleasant," Chen Xuan'er said.
"If we don't leave, she won't kick us out in front of the prefect's wife? Didn't you spend so many days here before, and I didn't kick you out." Chen Jing'er sat down and made up her mind not to leave. There are still things that have not been done, so how could he just go back like this?
Mrs. Zhen took Mrs. Xu's hand and came to the upper room. When she saw that the Chen sisters were still there, her face sank.
Chen Jing'er was right, the Bai family wanted to lose face and would not chase people away in front of the prefect's wife.
"Madam, you are here. I visited you at your residence the year before last. I wonder if Madam still has any impression? I haven't congratulated Mr. Liu on his promotion."
Chen Jing'er stood up first and saluted Mrs. Xu with a smile.
Mrs. Xu didn't even remember this person existed.
But she had an impression of Chen Xuan'er next to Chen Jing'er. The girl who poked a hornet's nest and was stung by rolling around last time was said to be Zhen's niece. She guessed that her relationship with Mrs. Zhen was just average, because when Eugene Gui satirized Chen Xuan as a child, Mrs. Zhen did not scold the second daughter-in-law.
This person who spoke was probably the girl's sister poking a hornet's nest.
Who is Mrs. Xu? Although she is sometimes confused, she is still the wife of a magistrate. She also has the ability to observe people's emotions. She saw Madam Zhen's dark expression when Chen Jing'er spoke, and knew that Madam Zhen didn't like her niece.
So he smiled lightly and said, "Have you ever been to our house? I don't remember this happening? Are you?"
Chen Jing'er almost fell down with anger.
She was having sex with the Bai family, and everyone knew that she must have a special relationship with the Bai family.
The prefect's wife actually humiliated her in front of the Bai family, which was so majestic.
At this time, she became even more angry at Mrs. Zhen for leaving Aunt Chen to go to the Queen Mother alone. If she could also go to the Queen Mother, not to mention the prefect's wife, even the noble ladies in the capital would have to give her some respect.
"Sister, please sit down." Mrs. Zhen asked Mrs. Xu to take the seat, and served her tea, and then said, "Sister, you are laughing. She is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Ji's herbal medicine shop, which is located in the northeast corner of Yangfeng County. Herbal medicine shop. There are so many things about my sister, so it’s normal for you not to remember. Not only do you not remember, but if she hadn’t come to visit today, I, the aunt, would have almost forgotten.”
Mrs. Zhen bluntly exposed Chen Jing'er's hypocrisy.
She couldn't drive her away, but she tried to get involved with the prefect's wife through the Bai family. Mrs. Zhen absolutely couldn't bear it.
Chen Jing'er almost vomited blood after hearing what Zhen said.
Mrs. Xu could tell that this was a man who worshiped everyone and had no sympathy for his own aunt. When the family was poor, they stayed far away, but when the Bai family got up, they kept climbing up.
In this case, there is no need for her to pay attention.
