It is said that Xiren went to Lin Daiyu's yard in the back house of Yun Mansion to look for Zijuan and Xueyan, and suddenly heard someone's voice coming from inside.
But it was Lin Daiyu who was having a heart-to-heart talk with several maids beside her.
Just listen to Lin Daiyu speak in the outer room: "These days, I always feel that the day of giving birth is coming soon, and the movement in my stomach has become a lot louder."
Xi Ren stood outside the window. After only taking a look inside through the window, he gave up the idea of going in to talk about things today.
For such matters, it would be better to go around Lin Daiyu first and wait for Xiren to talk to Zijuan and Xueyan in private.
.......
Shenjing, Xue Mansion.
Let's say that after Xue Pan's death, Aunt Xue was devastated. She was also upset by her daughter-in-law Xia Jingui at home, and she was very unhappy.
It's just that Aunt Xue is not happy to go home. After temporarily living in Yun Mansion to calm down for a few days, Aunt Xue is still worried about the grandson in Xia Jingui's belly, and plans to return to Xue's house to see Xia Jingui.
In any case, the child in Xia Jingui's belly is after all the heir of Xue Pan, the heir of the Xue family. The Xue family will have to rely on this heir to pass on the incense in the future, so that no one in Xue Pan's lineage can bear the sacrifice. The great responsibility of the ancestors.
Xia Jingui saw her mother-in-law coming back and knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't dare to see her mother-in-law. She planned to hide away, so she didn't go out to meet Aunt Xue.
When Aunt Xue saw Xia Jingui hiding from her, she didn't say much. She could only walk over to see Xia Jingui in person and have a heart-to-heart talk with Xia Jingui.
She just walked into Xia Jingui's yard and saw Jin Chan, the eldest maid in Xia Jingui's house, sneaking out of Xia Jingui's house and looking left and right, as if she was very avoidant and afraid of letting others know about her. Where he was going, he bumped into something wrong with him.
Jin Toad's unusual behavior immediately made Aunt Xue feel a little confused and puzzled. She quickly followed closely, intending to follow up to see what Jin Toad was doing behind this and what he was up to. activity.
I saw Aunt Xue walking with Jin Chan towards Xue Biao's house.
Halfway through, Aunt Xue looked at the courtyard here, wondering why she didn't recognize where this place was.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "What did I think was going on! It turns out that this slutty hooves is here to seduce men."
Then Aunt Xue left, not daring to follow her and eavesdrop on the corner, so as not to cause misunderstanding and gossip.
In the end, she still wanted to leave some face to Xue Biao. Unless it was to tear her face apart, otherwise, he would definitely not be so ignorant of the rules.
When Aunt Xue turned around and returned to Xia Jingui's house, she opened Xia Jingui's door.
Xia Jingui was eating fruit on the sofa in the room at the moment. He was very bored, but suddenly he heard a creak and the door was suddenly pushed open. He thought it was his dowry maid Jin Chan who had come back, and couldn't help it. Asked: "Why did you just go out for some fresh air and now you're back?"
Hearing Xia Jingui's voice, Aunt Xue was slightly startled and couldn't help but said: "I am your mother-in-law."
Xia Jingui was startled by Aunt Xue's voice. Just as she was about to dodge, she saw Aunt Xue walk in directly. Looking at Xia Jingui who was sitting on the soft couch with poor posture, she frowned and said, "What? Are you unhappy that I’m back today?”
If it had been the past, Xia Jingui would have immediately attacked Aunt Xue, must have competed with Aunt Xue, and forced Aunt Xue to retreat or give in.
But now Xia Jingui doesn't dare to do this.
Many people blamed her for Xue Pan's death, believing that it was Xia Jingui's mischief at home that indirectly led to Xue Pan going out to eat wine, causing trouble and killing people, thus ruining her reputation and dying.
But Xia Jingui really felt that this matter was absurd and unjust.
Xia Jingui just wanted to control her husband like Wang Xifeng, so that her husband could treat her wholeheartedly and not tolerate other women in his eyes.
If it is summer
If Jin Gui was placed in modern society, her actions would be undisputed and there would be almost no problems.
But if placed in this feudal society, where women pay attention to three obediences and four virtues, to support their husbands and raise children, and men pay attention to having three wives and four concubines, and the family is prosperous, the actions of Xia Jingui and Wang Xifeng would seem out of place, even deviant and inappropriate.
According to Confucian rules, this is a serious disrespect for etiquette.
Just because these boudoir women are in this big house, they will never go out easily in their lives, leave far away places, and go out to see the outside world. Therefore, although such things are not appropriate, they are also household chores behind closed doors. thing.
Since ancient times, the ancients have inherited a truth, that is, family scandals should not be made public.
Once something ugly happens at home that does not comply with the rules and etiquette, they will not say a word to outsiders.
Therefore, what happened to Xia Jingui was because everyone in the family knew about it and had a lot of resentment towards her, and because no one paid attention to her as a woman in the house, neither did people outside. Very aware of the internal affairs of the Xue family.
Only insiders like Leng Zixing will know the inside information.
Aunt Xue looked at Xia Jingui in front of her, sighed, and took the lead in saying: "You don't have to be so afraid. I didn't come here to cause trouble for you this time. If I wanted to cause trouble for you, I would have done it long ago. More Besides, the child in your belly is still the unborn grandson of our Xue family, how could I do anything to you?"
Xia Jingui was actually a little ashamed and repentant.
A good home was almost lost.
Moreover, Xue Pan died, and she was now a widow.
In ancient society, most widows had to abide by feudal moral standards and observe integrity for their husbands.
If you do well, you can also get a chastity memorial arch issued by the court.
Even among big families such as dignitaries, this kind of thing is common.
However, there is much trouble at the widow's door.
It's hard to say such things.
Xia Jingui lowered his head, as if he was like Wang Xifeng, who was too clever in his calculations and ended up in vain.
But Xia Jingui would never admit her mistake to her mother-in-law, Aunt Xue.
Now that Aunt Xue is back, Xia Jingui can't help but talk about what happened after Xue Pan's death. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk about such sad things, they can't help but shed tears on their cheeks. .net
Aunt Xue looked at Xia Jingui and said, "That's all, those things are in the past, so don't mention them!"
