Perhaps thinking of the bad experience, the bride's whole face turned pale. Thinking of the attitude of her brothers towards her, this thought was extinguished.
She is a bride in her husband's family, and her mother-in-law is not a mean person, and they get along fairly well with her.
My mother-in-law also said that she is getting older and her energy is not as good as before. In a few years, she will be in charge of the entire backyard.
Since last year, the bride has been learning to manage her servants, clean up her accounts, and take charge of things in her backyard.
You are used to living a life of being the master of the family in your husband's house, and you want to go back to your parents' house and depend on others? This may not be tolerated by anyone.
In his early years, he did not have a very good relationship with his eldest brother and second brother, and his two sisters-in-law were not easy people to get along with either.
Just as the two of them were sighing secretly, a servant hurriedly walked in.
"Mother, is there anyone outside asking to see you?"
The middle-aged woman frowned. Two pillars of her family had died. Due to the situation, she didn't even have a funeral, just for fear of causing another trouble. At this point, who else would come to the house?
Her eyes were rolling in her eyes, and she was puzzled. Suddenly her eyes widened. Could it be that the people in the second, third, and fourth bedrooms wanted to contact the families outside and ask her and the bride to get out?
The bride was not stupid, she also came from a scholar-bureaucrat family. Seeing her mother-in-law's face, she also became worried.
"Mother-in-law, if this is the worst case scenario, no, why don't I go and beg my parents. Although I can't go back, it shouldn't hurt to help me."
The middle-aged woman waved her hand, put the two rows in place, and wiped them carefully.
"How many people came?"
The servant said, "Just one person."
"one person???"
The middle-aged woman had no clue now and waved her hands to the servant.
"First invite people into the hall, serve tea, and I will go there in a moment."
"yes!"
The servant left quickly.
The middle-aged woman led the bride towards the backyard.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
After Feng Feng Huo Huo came to the room, the middle-aged woman looked at the bride seriously and said, "We are the only two people in our family who can talk."
"We put on makeup immediately and hand the baby over to the wet nurse. We must not show our timidity in front of others and pretend to be confident."
The bride was shocked. After the death of her father-in-law and her husband, it was unique to do this. Generally, makeup is not allowed during the mourning period.
But what a strong person a middle-aged woman is. If she was not strong, how could she assassinate the King of War God with the determination to die when he was delivering food to him?
"Is this okay?"
"listen to me."
"Okay, Mom!"
Logically speaking, Goguryeo in this period was similar to the Central Plains. Mother-in-laws were always called Jungu, and those who could be called Amu together with their husbands showed how harmonious the family was.
After the four maids helped them put on makeup and change clothes, sure enough, their appearance changed completely.
The middle-aged woman was in good spirits, carrying a golden fork and wearing traditional and precious Goguryeo clothes. The light makeup on her cheeks highlighted her grace and elegance.
The bride obviously hasn't put on makeup for a while, but once she puts on makeup, her whole body becomes energetic, and with the charm of a mature young woman, she can instantly gain a hundred points.
The two walked side by side and came to the hall. They saw a young man drinking tea in the hall.
Seeing the host coming, the young man almost got burned by the tea. He slapped his mouth and stood up. After a brief salute, he said.
"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, this is Zhang Haoyu, we have met before."
The middle-aged woman nodded and said in a cold tone, "Well, you are a boy from the Zhang family, and you are the one who took the initiative to kidnap the King of Martial God out, and also took charge of the responsibility of guarding the King of Martial God."
Zhang Haoyu was slightly embarrassed. These things were not glorious. It was indeed a little embarrassing to be told directly. .
But it doesn't matter. After all, they are all from the scholar-bureaucrat family. Although we don't see many of them on weekdays, we still have an impression.
The most important thing is that there is more than one Li family in the royal city, and the surname Li is the most common surname after Gao.
The middle-aged woman in front of her has a much more powerful family than her own. Normally, if she can say a few words, she is almost considered to be on top.
"At this point, what's the reason for you coming to our house?"
The arrival of Zhang Haoyu made the middle-aged woman very confused.
Zhang Haoyu coughed twice, glanced at the new wife of the Li family and said, "We have something important to discuss... Look..."
The middle-aged woman frowned and said, "Both men in my family are gone. Now we, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, depend on each other. If you have anything to do, just tell me. There is no need for so many twists and turns."
Zhang Haoyu had no choice but to smile and said, "I came here this time to let my aunt enter the palace."
"Enter the palace?"
The middle-aged woman's face was full of doubts, and she asked curiously, "Let me enter the palace? Who allowed me to enter the palace? What are you doing in the palace?"
Zhang Haoyu's face became more and more embarrassed, "This, this is what Wu Anjun told me to do. Let aunt enter the palace. This, isn't this already obvious?"
"Auntie's crime of assassinating the king should be punished, but instead of blaming you, Your Majesty allowed you to go home. Such a great grace is not something ordinary people can have. I think auntie should be able to do it."
What Zhang Haoyu just said was embarrassing. At the end of the sentence, his whole tone became ambiguous, and his body twisted like a little daughter-in-law.
The middle-aged woman looked at the bride for a moment, and immediately trembled with anger. She picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at Zhang Haoyu.
Zhang Haoyu never expected that this woman would throw something directly at him. In panic, he was hit directly on the head before he could dodge.
The tea cup was broken on the floor, but luckily there was no tea.
"Ouch!!"
Zhang Haoyu directly covered his head. He felt that his head was going to split at this time, and the pain was unbearable. He wanted to rub it with his hands, but found that he couldn't touch it.
Thinking that Mr. Wu An was supporting him at this time, a fire of ignorance rose up in him, and he said loudly with his teeth bared.
"Auntie, Your Majesty has taken control of the royal city and will soon wipe out the nearby cities, as well as his 200,000-strong army entrenched in the Liaodong Plain."
"It's your blessing that he likes you. Don't be ignorant. Mr. Li and Mr. Li are gone. It's good to find someone to support you. Otherwise, I'm afraid the family will be uneasy in a few days."
Zhang Haoyu's tone not only contained threats, but also real-life problems. He had seen this kind of thing once or twice.
That's why in the scholar-bureaucrat's house, the mistress couldn't give birth to a child, so she desperately found a woman for her man.
If they don't even have a boy, they will be kicked out in minutes when they grow old or the head of the family dies.
Although they have a natal family, the water thrown out by their married daughter almost never ends well for these people.
Some are even older and have no one in their natal family, so the outcome will be even more miserable.
The bride covered her mouth in surprise. This multiple-choice question was so difficult. She looked at her mother-in-law, and saw her mother-in-law's face was cold, with suppressed anger.
"Bastard, bastard, he is an aggressor. How many of us have he killed? He is not a boy, he is not a girl. I, I will never give in, and I will never sleep with him even if I die."
Not long after being suppressed, the middle-aged woman stood up and roared.
"Auntie, be careful what you say. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your newborn child. Otherwise, the catastrophe of destroying the family is not far away."
After Zhang Haoyu looked the middle-aged woman up and down, he couldn't help but marvel, "I heard that more than 20 years ago, my aunt was also a famous beauty in the royal city. More than 20 years later, not only has her beauty not diminished, but she has become more charming. What is Wu Anjun doing?" It’s Mr. Wu An, and ordinary people can’t compare to his vision.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman pointed her finger at him, but she couldn't control herself and started to tremble.
"You, get out of here!"
Zhang Haoyu
His face was stern and he said in a bad tone, "Aunt, you better think about it. You have to go today if you go, or if you don't go, you have to go, otherwise..."
"Here comes someone."
The middle-aged woman didn't even listen to what he had to say, she just called someone, and eight strong men instantly appeared at the door.
"Mistress!"
"Beat me with a stick."
"yes!"
Eight strong men rushed in, holding wooden sticks made of iron birch as thick as a child's arm.
Zhang Haoyu's hair stood on end instantly. This was a stick made of ironwood. If he whipped it, even if the bones were broken, it wouldn't be much better.
He was not an idiot. Seeing that there was no chance, he ran directly outside. Unfortunately, he was not a military commander after all. The servants also knew that this man had a noble status and were afraid of being blamed.
So I whipped his butt hard with a wooden stick.
"Ah woo woo~~~"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, or you'll be beaten to death."
The middle-aged woman trembled with anger and shouted, "What do you do for food? Beat me to death, and it will be mine."
"yes!"
When Zhang Haoyu heard this, he felt like he was dead. His speed suddenly increased and he went out quickly. After getting on the carriage, he asked the driver to shift into fifth gear and we were all together.
Seeing Zhang Haoyu being beaten away, the middle-aged woman didn't have any joy on her face, but was filled with sadness.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept silent in a tacit understanding. When the bride was about to go to her house, the middle-aged woman held her back.
"Let's sleep together tonight. I have something to tell you."
The bride's eyes suddenly turned red. These words sounded so much like her last words. She had to say that her mother-in-law treated her better than her own mother. She really didn't want anything to happen to her mother-in-law.
Wu Anjun is definitely a pervert. They say they are looking for girls in their teens or in their twenties, but there are no girls in their forties. This, this is simply too dirty.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wiped it for a while, they got into bed. The man in the family died and assassinated the king. He was only slapped twice and sent back. The experience during this period made her feel a little tired.
Or it seemed that it was not interesting. If she didn't support this family business, she would kill the King of Martial God even if she risked her life.
The middle-aged woman took out a bunch of keys from her pillow and put them into the bride's hands, then balled her palms into fists with both hands.
