To be fair, Jun Hongbai looks good, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, and a majestic air.
Staying next to Jun Hongbai, I was so happy that I felt dizzy.
He was so busy that he said sincerely: "Madam, don't worry. Madam is willing to support me. Even if I work like a cow or a horse, I still want to repay Madam."
Shen Qingluan smiled lazily, and just as he was about to make arrangements, Cuicui burst in and said, "Madam, it's not good!"
He leaned over and said something in Shen Qingluan's ear.
Shen Qingluan frowned when he heard this. When Cuicui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yueniang with pity and pity.
The sight made her nervous, and she wished she could pull Shen Qingluan away and get closer to listen to what Cuicui said.
"That's all, taking concubines won't work."
"What!"
Liu Yueniang's eyes widened, "But did you say the wrong thing? Madam, please have mercy."
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.
Shen Qingluan said slowly: "It's not your fault, it's just that the uncle fell in love with Sister Du's natal girl and wanted to bring her in. Although you and he have an old relationship, after all, you are a married widow."
Liu Yueniang's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she blurted out: "What's wrong with me being married before? That Du Mianmian even stole from a man!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on the ground, and the room was filled with silence.
After a long time, Shen Qingluan found her voice, "What did you say?"
Liu Yueniang straightened up and said angrily:
"Why do you think Du Mianmian can't get married at such an old age? She had already promised to get married and was about to get married, but after seeing her uncle's identity and appearance, she disdained the merchant she had agreed to and tried her best to ruin it. marriage.
Later, with the help of my wife, I seduced another concubine from a side branch of the noble family. After secretly getting pregnant with the child, the man promised to marry her, but he had to prepare more dowry. My wife felt sorry for her, so she promised to subsidize half of her dowry privately.
Unexpectedly, good people don't live long. The wife passed away at a young age, so the dowry was naturally ruined, and her marriage was also ruined. But she had been with everyone's young masters, and the men next to her looked down upon her, and they had been dragging her around for so many years. "
After she finished speaking, Shen Qingluan slowly controlled her expression.
So that's it...it's actually like that...
It turns out that in his previous life, Jun Hongbai really did become a big bastard.
Moreover, he will continue to do it in this life.
At this moment, she couldn't help but sympathize with Jun Hongbai.
The short-lived Du Mianmian was also taken advantage of.
If she knew that the girl she loved and cared for so much spent her dowry, slept with her man, and deliberately brought up her children after her death, she might be so angry that she would come out of the grave.
Perhaps her expression was too strange, so Liu Yueniang realized it and stopped her voice.
After all, she muttered: "How can such a woman be qualified to serve the uncle?"
Shen Qingluan came to his senses and said, "Don't talk about things without a shadow."
She pushed down Liu Yueniang, who was full of dissatisfaction, and said: "The uncle has many blessings for the Du family. Even if you tell him directly, he won't believe you. Instead, he will hate you.
Since you are interested in the uncle, I am willing to give you this opportunity. You will go to the study to serve me tonight. I will not hesitate if the uncle is willing to keep you. If you don't want to, I'll send you back to Xingtou Village. "
Liu Yueniang hesitated to speak. After a long while, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "No need to worry about it, slave."
She never wanted to live such a miserable life like a pig or a dog again.
It was night, Shen Qingluan was flipping through a book under the lamp, looking towards the Qingzhu Courtyard one after another.
Seeing Shen Qingluan's calm look, he stamped his feet and said anxiously: "Why aren't you in a hurry, madam?"
Shen Qingluan paused while turning over the book, "If you are in a hurry, you might as well help Jun Hongbai accomplish his task."
Cuicui's cheeks turned red instantly, and she said shyly: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Shen Qingluan was happy and put down the book and looked at her seriously: "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that Liu Yueniang will get what she wants, or are you afraid that she will come back disgraced?"
Cuicui thought deeply for a moment, "If Liu Yueniang gets what she wants, it means that this person is not worthy of entrustment. If Liu Yueniang returns in vain..."
Shen Qingluan answered calmly: "That means that Du Mianmian will get carried away in the future."
Cuicui was speechless.
The oil lamp crackled and the wick was burned out. Zhuzhu came in from the outside and said, "Madam, the lantern in Qingzhuyuan has gone out."
The two people in the room were silent. After a while, Shen Qingluan cut off the wick with scissors and said, "Go to sleep."
There is a big drama to be sung tomorrow.
Shen Qingluan will be sober as never before.
Gein has lived two lives, and she will eventually hold her destiny in her own hands, even if the road ahead is not very smooth.
The next day, Cuicui suppressed her excitement and woke up Shen Qingluan, "Madam, the eldest lady went to Qingzhuyuan early in the morning and bumped into Liu Yueniang.
I heard that when the three people met, the uncle was working hard. "
After Cuicui finished speaking, she spat heavily, "What a shameless slut. He refused to stop even early in the morning."
Shen Qingluan looked at her speechlessly, "Actually, you don't need to go into such detail."
Cuicui blushed.
Even though she said this, Shen Qingluan couldn't hide her excitement and quickly finished dressing up and went to Qingzhuyuan.
After all, she was very quick, and even after a while of delay, she and Mr. Lu arrived at the same time.
The two of them walked in hand in hand, and heard Jun Qian crying and shouting angrily: "You are crazy about taking her as your concubine! My aunt is about to enter the house, you have to make such a fuss at this moment, How uncomfortable it must be for my aunt!”
What!
aunt? getting Started?
Shen Qingluan was fine, but it was the first time for Mr. Lu to hear the news and he quickly walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yueniang kneeling behind Jun Hongbai and crying silently.
Shen Qingluan's eyelids twitched.
Everyone in the Du family, from the old lady to the little maid, all have the same tone.
Jun Hongbai is actually so affectionate and loves this one exclusively.
Mr. Lu on the other end didn't care about Liu Yueniang's appearance and glared at Jun Qian fiercely, "What did you say just now? What kind of entrance? Du Mianmian wants to get started?"
is that true? Who decided it? "
With these last words, she stared at Jun Hongbai.
Jun Hongbai felt embarrassed and guilty for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It's true, my grandson is unfilial. I personally promised my mother-in-law to marry Mianmian as an equal wife."
Lu suddenly felt like the world was spinning.
"You! You're making me so angry!"
Shen Qingluan stepped forward to support her and pressed her two large acupoints to let her breathe.
If Mrs. Lu faints, who will sing the play?
Mrs. Lu regained her composure, held Shen Qingluan's hand tightly, looked at her and wailed: "Qingluan, my good grandson-in-law, grandma can't help you for raising such a confused grandson!"
Shen Qingluan felt as if half of his body was stiff.
Jun Hongbai's face darkened, "Grandma, marrying Mianmian is my own choice. If Shen Qingluan is truly virtuous, he shouldn't be jealous, but take the initiative to take care of it for me."
Shen Qingluan gave him an unclear look.
Jun Hongbai suddenly stopped and straightened his posture, "Not only does Mianmian want to join the family, but there is also Yueniang. I want to take her as my concubine as well."
That day Mrs. Du said that Shen Qingluan originally wanted to marry Jun Chengsong, but this matter still deeply penetrated his heart.
These days, he deliberately kept Shen Qingluan cold, waiting for her to figure it out before she could confess to him and ask for mercy.
But after waiting and waiting, Shen Qingluan lived his own life as if he was no longer there.
The fire in his heart was blown by the small wind and burned stronger and stronger.
At this moment, he wanted to let Shen Qingluan know how powerful he was. If she pushed him away based on her impulse, she would have to bear the consequences of losing him!
Shen Qingluan looked at him steadily and said slowly: "This is my job."
Although these words followed Jun Hongbai's wishes, he felt inexplicably empty in his heart.
Shen Qingluan continued: "Is it just that the uncle really wants to marry a girl from the Du family as his equal wife?"
Jun Hongbai's eyes were incomprehensible, "I have made up my mind."
Shen Qingluan nodded: "I see, then, forgive Qingluan for being incompetent and not knowing how to manage the matter of marrying an equal wife."
Mrs. Lu suddenly turned her head and looked at her with relief and support, waiting for her to say something to completely dispel Jun Hongbai's thoughts.
Jun Hongbai also looked at her, his face was still tense, but the anger in his eyes had dissipated a little.
She still cares about herself after all.
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. I belong to a century-old family or a noble family. I have never done anything stupid like marrying an equal wife."
Shen Qingluan spoke unhurriedly, but the words were particularly unpleasant, "The term "equal wife" is an unseemly scandal declared by a low-level businessman. The Jun family is already a noble family, and I didn't expect to be unwilling to learn the rigor of a wealthy family. Qingfeng, on the contrary, wants to get rid of those low-level customs and bad habits.
Forgive me for not being as big-hearted as you, and I can't do such stupid things. If the uncle hadn't asked the Du family to take care of it personally, they would have made a fuss and would not let the uncle lose his face. "
She was smiling and saying heart-wrenching words, and Jun Hongbai was indeed pricked with holes by her, and his face was so red that he could almost bleed!
When he heard Shen Qingluan say that she was going to leave it alone and let the Du family send someone to take care of it, he turned pale with anxiety again.
Even though he respects the Du family very much and is willing to treat Du Mianmian favorably, this does not mean that he is willing to be confused with the Du family.
At this moment, he faintly regretted why he agreed to Mrs. Du to marry Du Mianmian as his equal wife. Wasn't this just trampling on the face of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
Grandma had always planned to let Jun Chengsong take over the title of second chamber after his death.
If he did such a scandal, wouldn't he be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life and completely miss out on the title?
Lu was also very anxious, "Hongbai, you are confused! No matter how much you care about the Du family, haven't the benefits that the Du family has received from Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion all these years still been small?
In the past, you wiped their butts many times and you were already very affectionate. Now, are you going to bring down the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
If the reputation of the Hou Mansion is ruined, the future prospects of Yuan'er and Qian'er will be ruined! "
Jun Qian's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said dissatisfiedly: "How could this happen? Isn't it common to marry an equal wife? How could it affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion? Father, it's Shen Qingluan who deliberately told lies to fool us."
Shen Qingluan looked at her with pity, shook his head and sighed:
"Look, what's so pitiful is that she doesn't remember even a single sentence of the many poems and books I teach her. However, the Du family just talks about some vulgar and secular things, and she actually treats them as the emperor's orders.
Alas, I think Brother Yuan and Sister Qian have not made any progress in their studies, and it is also because they are too close to the Du family. "
