Chen Lingxiang felt very uncomfortable when she heard Mrs. Chen calling her Mengxia, "Mom, my name is Lingxiang now, don't call me Mengxia."
Chen: "..."
Mrs. Chen saw her daughter's face dropped after she found out about her family's situation, and she shut up obediently.
However, Mrs. Chen still thinks that Mengxia sounds nicer. The name Lingxiang sounds like the name of a maid.
But my daughter is still very precious.
Could it be that this child who was raised by servants has such a small horizon.
Just can't get on the stage.
Mrs. Chen now regrets a little, wondering if the situation would have been better if she had not had two children and kept her biological daughter by her side.
Mrs. Chen thought she didn't change the child, so she didn't hear Chen Lingxiang's words.
"Mother, mother, did you listen to what I said?"
Mrs. Chen came back to her senses, "Wha...what? Say it again."
Chen Lingxiang resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Mom, I want to ask about the situation of the eldest uncle and second uncle's family, and now that I'm back, should I also go to pay my respects to my grandmother."
Chen Lingxiang didn't believe that the huge Hou Mansion had no hidden methods.
Maybe the old Marquis has hidden money somewhere.
Sun Heng said at this time: "Lingxiang, although we have recognized you, your identity cannot be exposed yet."
Chen Lingxiang was dissatisfied. He was not from a wealthy family, yet he still wanted to hide away like this.
Mrs. Chen also remembered it at this time and said in a low voice: "Lingxiang, you heard my mother say that she was afraid that you would go to the North to suffer hardships, so she changed the child. But the child's identity is now that of a married woman. widow."
"What? Widow, I don't want it, I won't change it." Chen Lingxiang was unwilling.
Sun Heng explained: "I'm not asking you to change your identity. Even if you want to, you can't."
Chen Lingxiang was very confused, "Oh? Why is that?"
Sun Heng explained, "She has lived in the North for many years. The Wang family and Lin family who returned to Beijing with us all know it. If you change your identity, there is no guarantee that the change of people in the Hou Mansion will not be discovered. This is deceiving the emperor." It's such a serious crime, if anyone finds out, our family's heads may be in danger."
Chen Lingxiang didn't expect it to be so serious. Now that the title in the Marquis Mansion is gone, she doesn't care very much, "Then don't change it back. That's it."
Mrs. Chen hugged Chen Lingxiang and said, "My dear daughter, I have wronged you."
Chen Lingxiang was not used to being so close to Mrs. Chen, so she moved without leaving a trace, "Mom, there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, you are doing it for my own good, I understand."
Ms. Chen was even more pleased, "Okay, okay, if I have to wrong you in the future, just say you are my niece, okay?"
Chen Lingxiang nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, let's make this decision. From now on, I will call you aunt, so that others won't suspect it."
Chen Lingxiang was so happy because she didn't really want to recognize her parents. The main reason was that there was really nothing to worry about in this family.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, then let's call her aunt, okay!"
Although Mrs. Chen said this, she still felt a little sad in her heart.
Chen Lingxiang had to go back to the Duke's Mansion to work tomorrow, so she said, "Aunt, uncle, I have to go to the Tang Mansion to work tomorrow, and I want to rest now."
Mrs. Chen felt distressed when she thought of her daughter's status as a maid, "Xiang'er, how much money will it cost to redeem your life? You'd better stop being a maid."
Chen Lingxiang still had her own plans and flatly refused: "Aunt, even if I want to redeem myself now, I have to have mercy from the master above. We can't be too hasty."
Mrs. Chen nodded, that's indeed the case. You're selling yourself, and you can't just leave if you want.
You have to wait until your master is happy and merciful. If you make your master unhappy, you may kill him.
"Yes, yes, you have to find an opportunity. Hey, then my son will be wronged."
Mrs. Chen began to feel distressed again.
Chen Lingxiang couldn't bear it and asked hurriedly: "Aunt, which room should I stay in at night?"
Only then did Chen remember, "Xiang'er, come with me, I'll prepare it for you."
After saying that, he took Chen Lingxiang and left.
Sun Heng looked at the backs of mother and daughter, and his heart sank.
He was not Mr. Chen, so he couldn't hear his daughter's excuses. This girl, Lingxiang, didn't want to come back and suffer hardship at all.
Sun Heng felt even worse when he thought of this.
At night, Mrs. Tang Lu Ruying looked at the post in her hand and chuckled, "Hey, I really didn't expect that my sister-in-law would want to see me. Hahaha, who would have thought that she didn't take me seriously back then? My sister will be like this now."
Mrs. Tang has always been in a good mood, especially after Lu Ruyan came to Beijing.
When Fang's mother heard what Mrs. Tang said, she also echoed: "Girl, you are wrong. Since the Chang'an Marquis Mansion was exiled ten years ago, the eldest lady is no longer worthy to carry your shoes."
Mrs. Tang felt very happy because of Fang's mother's words. She chuckled, "Hahaha, yes, we have been different for a long time. I am Yun and she is Ni, so why should she compare with me."
"Madam, do you want to see me?"
Mrs. Tang leaned on the chair and said, "See you, why not see you? After all, we haven't seen you for ten years. If I refuse my sister's request, it would seem that I am too callous."
"Okay, then the old slave will pass on the news."
Mrs. Tang nodded, "Okay!"
Mrs. Tang thought of Tang Zhiling going out today, so she asked, "Is that sick man going out?"
Fang’s mother knew the news, but the specific situation was not yet clear. “Madam, I’ll go down here, call the people over, and ask them carefully.”
Mrs. Tang nodded, "Go!"
Fang's mother quietly left the room. She also didn't understand why Madam was staring at the third young master so closely.
It stands to reason that the third young master has always been in poor health and cannot threaten the status of the prince at all, so there is no need to keep an eye on him so closely.
After Mrs. Fang left, Mrs. Tang gently tapped the table.
The way my husband has gone out early and returned late these past few days is also very suspicious. Could it be that someone outside the house has tripped him up.
Mrs. Tang narrowed her eyes slightly when she thought of this.
Thinking of the time more than ten years ago when her husband suddenly came back with a baby, saying it was his child and leaving it to her to raise, Mrs. Tang became so angry that her forehead was filled with blood.
However, her years were not in vain.
At least that child won't live for a few years.
Ha ha ha ha!
Mrs. Tang felt very relieved when she thought of this. Tang Zhizhong, you probably don't know that your most beloved son won't live long.
Madness flashed in Mrs. Tang's eyes.
At this time, Fang's mother came in with the fourth young master Tang Zhijin.
"Greetings to mother!"
"Jin'er, why are you here free?" Mrs. Tang asked.
Tang Zhijin said excitedly: "Mother, I made a big discovery today. The third brother fell in love with a widow."
Mrs. Tang was shocked: "What? Widow?"
