"What's wrong? I've just been talking to my mother for a while, but why do I see everyone seems to be resentful? Are you arguing over the fruit?"
Nian Shilan helped Mrs. Nian and came slowly, laughing as she walked.
Mrs. Nian patted Nian Shilan's hand gently.
"Lan'er, don't be naughty. Don't lose your sense of proportion in front of the prince."
"Mother, the prince's temperament cannot be more gentle. Otherwise, how would my daughter dare to be so naughty?"
Nian Shilan answered Mrs. Nian's words with a smile, while looking at Yinzhen, her eyes looked deeply into Yinzhen's eyes.
Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan's eyes, sighed softly, and said.
"Old madam, don't worry. I and Shilan don't have so many shackles. I just like Shilan's chatty and laughing temperament."
Xiao Linzi followed Nian Shilan. Seeing that the tense atmosphere just now finally calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nian Gengyao stepped forward and bowed harshly to Yinzhen.
"Weichen's little sister loves to be naughty at home, and her temper is unruly. If you offend the prince in any way, please bear in mind the bond between you and your husband and be more tolerant!"
The atmosphere that had originally calmed down suddenly became tense again when Nian Shilan heard what his second brother said.
What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now? !
In the last life, wasn't the relationship between Yinzhen and his brother Jun and Chen the best?
Nian Shilan wanted to interrupt, but before he could speak, Nian Zhilan suddenly knelt down and spoke hurriedly.
"My lord, please forgive me! My eldest sister was pampered at home and is used to talking like this. Today my eldest sister bumped into my lord, and my little girl is willing to take the blame on my eldest sister's behalf!"
The expressions of everyone present changed!
Nian Gengyao was the first to scold him.
"Presumptuous! There is no room for you to speak here! Get out of here! Don't be embarrassed here!"
After saying that, Nian Gengyao bowed his head and saluted and said to Yinzhen.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. My concubine rarely sees guests at home. She lost her etiquette today because of the lack of discipline in the house. I will definitely restrain my concubine in the future and not let her quarrel with the nobles again!"
Nian Zhilan knelt on the ground without moving.
Nian Shilan looked at Yinzhen's face and realized that the ink was all gone after washing it with a basin of water.
Yinzhen didn't even bother to do any facial work and just asked Nian Shilan.
"Can Xi Fujin return to the mansion with me?"
After saying this, Nian Shilan walked away without waiting for an answer. The servants and maids who were serving the prince hurriedly followed him outside Nian's mansion.
Nian Shilan looked at the concubine kneeling on the ground and saluted Mrs. Nian.
"My daughter has gone back to the mansion with the prince first. I ask my mother to urge me to handle matters at home properly."
After that, he said to Nian Gengyao again.
"Brother, there is no need to be angry. Just settle down and do your own thing. Shilan is very good in the palace, and the prince has always been kind to me."
Nian Gengyao softened his expression when facing his pampered sister.
Ever since my sister married into the palace, she seems to have suddenly become sensible.
"Sister, go away. I will handle matters at home properly."
After Nian Gengyao finished speaking, he sent Nian Shilan out of the house.
Yinzhen had already boarded the carriage first and sat on the carriage waiting for Nian Shilan.
Su Peisheng stood beside the carriage, waiting to help Fu Jin get into the carriage.
"The humble minister Nian Gengyao respectfully sends the prince and Fu Jin back home."
Nian Gengyao watched his sister get on the carriage, the carriage started slowly, and he said goodbye loudly.
In the backyard of Nian Mansion, Nian Zhilan was kneeling in Mrs. Nian's courtyard. Aunt Qi had been invited over by Mrs. Nian's maid, and she was standing aside tremblingly.
In the courtyard, there are Aunt Kong, who has been staying peacefully in her residence today, and Nian Shilan's other concubine, Nian Yulan.
Mrs. Nian looked at Nian Zhilan with real disgust.
Nian Zhilan's mother, Aunt Qi, was originally a second-class maid beside Mrs. Nian.
When Mrs. Nian gave birth to Nian Shilan, Aunt Qi was busy taking care of her daughter, who was like the apple of her eye, and ignored her husband Nian Xialing, so she chose a night when Nian Xialing was drunk and climbed into his bed.
After Nian Xialing woke up from alcohol, he looked at Mr. Qi sleeping next to him and was very angry. He was also worried that his wife, Mrs. Nian, would find out and make her sad.
I can only swallow this breath bitterly, thinking about finding an excuse to send this Qi away in two months.
Therefore, Nian Xialing, feeling guilty about his wife, became kinder to Mrs. Nian, as if this could alleviate the guilt in his heart.
During those days, Mrs. Nian was busy taking care of her daughter and had no time to distract her husband's state of mind, nor did she get close to Nian Xialing.
Nian Xialing, who felt that she had been left out, drank to drown her sorrows, but gave Aunt Qi the opportunity to crawl into Nian Xialing's bed again.
If the first and second times were because Nian Xialing was drunk and ignorant, the third and fourth times, under the cold atmosphere of Mrs. Nian, Nian Xialing gave in half-heartedly and made things happen with Aunt Qi.
Originally, Nian Xialing thought about finding an excuse to sell Aunt Qi in two months. After going back and forth, half drunk and half awake, she felt a little reluctant to let go, so she kept putting it off.
By the time Aunt Qi knelt in front of Mrs. Nian and said that she had the flesh and blood of Master Nian Xia, it had been eight or nine months since the eldest daughter Nian Shilan was born, and she could no longer hide her belly.
The second son Nian Gengyao, who was nine years old at the time, came home from school and saw his mother's maid kneeling in front of her mother.
The maidservant cried heartbrokenly, saying that she was pregnant with her father's child, and that her mother was heartbroken and angry. The little boy was very angry.
Nian Gengyao has had an upright temper since he was a child. He also had a master who taught him some boxing and kicking skills since he was a child, so he has a very perverse temper.
He was about to raise his leg to kick the maid in the stomach when he was pulled aside by Nian Xialing who came in a hurry.
"Stop! No matter how wrong she is, she is still pregnant! How can you be so vicious at such a young age!"
Nian Gengyao was stopped by his father, but he didn't say anything. He only stared at Nian Xialing with a pair of eyes.
Mrs. Nian couldn't bear it anymore, so she hugged Nian Gengyao and cried loudly.
"My son!"
Nian Xialing felt regretful and angry. In the end, Mrs. Nian, who was so weak in nature, had no choice but to say whatever she wanted.
The maidservant was left behind and placed in a remote corner of the house as a maidservant to wait for her to give birth.
When the maidservant gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Nian allowed Nian Xialing to carry her to her aunt, but she still lived in that remote corner.
During this period, Nian Xialing secretly visited Aunt Qi, which made Mrs. Nian very angry.
He simply raised Kong, the concubine of Mrs. Nian's sister-in-law's family, to be Nian Xialing's aunt.
Men always like the new and hate the old. With the gentle Aunt Kong and the regret for Mrs. Nian, Nian Xialing left Aunt Qi behind.
But Mrs. Nian was kind-hearted. Apart from hating Aunt Qi's method of climbing into bed, she never criticized them mother and daughter.
In the same way, Nian Zhilan was sent to her husband at the age when she needed to learn, and she was educated like the eldest daughter Nian Shilan.
My husband taught me a lot about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and De Rong talked about his merits. Nian Zhilan was less talented and could barely learn "how".
When Aunt Qi and Nian Zhilan greet Mrs. Nian, Mrs. Nian doesn't like Nian Zhilan's eyes that look submissive but turn around when talking.
Nian Shilan was more than a year older than Nian Zhilan. When she was in the house, Nian Shilan, like her mother, hated Aunt Qi's methods, so she always yelled at Nian Zhilan.
Nian Zhilan usually looked submissive and huddled. Mrs. Nian was really annoyed just by looking at her, and she rarely asked her mother and daughter to pay her respects.
I didn't expect that I would dare to show up in front of the prince today. I'm really dizzy!
