Mrs. Fu was confused: "What's going on? Who provoked brother?"
Cao Dejiang: "Who else could it be? This idiot of yours!"
Fu Laiqing: "..."
Cao Dejiang was annoyed: "What are you looking at? You have a guest and you don't know how to serve tea?"
Fu Laiqing angrily said: He is a member of the Fu family, not a servant of the mansion. There are a lot of maids in the mansion. Does he need to go there in person to offer tea?
Fu Laiqing muttered in his heart, but did not dare to refute. He was afraid that his uncle would slap him directly.
Fu Laiqing turned around and retreated to take the people to prepare tea and snacks. Seeing that he didn't react at all, Cao Dejiang angrily turned to complain to his sister. "Why did you raise him to be so stupid? Everything he learns every day is eaten by dogs without even entering his mind!"
Mrs. Fu had a smile on her face, but she turned back inexplicably.
"You slap anyone who messes with you. Why are you so angry with me?"
"Aqing went to the Cao family to learn from his enlightenment at the age of three. Over the years, he has spent more time in the Cao family than in the Fu family. If you are really stupid, you taught him. If anything is eaten by a dog, it is your Cao family's dog. , what does it have to do with me?"
Cao Dejiang: "..."
Xiao Yan watched as the old man who always had a sharp mouth and never suffered a loss was choked by Mrs. Fu's words. He sat aside and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Madam Fu was already in a bad mood. After quarreling with Cao Dejiang, she said, "Why did he provoke you again?"
Cao Dejiang didn't mention Fu Laiqing, but said something else: "You should pay more attention to the girl from the Fu family you are raising in the house."
Mrs. Fu was stunned for a moment: "You mean Jinrou?"
She originally thought that Fu Laiqing was the one who provoked her eldest brother, but she didn't expect that Cao Dejiang would mention Fu Jinrou. She thought of the weak and shy little girl and frowned: "What's wrong with her?"
Cao Dejiang said directly without covering up: "Xiao Yan and I met her in front of the door. Did she go to Cheng'enhou Mansion with A Qing's mother and the little girl from the Xu family?"
Mrs. Fu nodded: "That's what happened."
Fu Jinrou is the daughter of the Fu family. The elder in her family was very close to the deceased old man. The Fu family said that they would send her to live in Beijing temporarily to avoid the turmoil of the divorce, and asked Mrs. Fu to find an opportunity to arrange a good marriage for her. At that time, Mrs. Fu was kind to her.
Later, when I saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, with a soft and shy temperament, and the fact that she almost missed this little girl in the previous marriage, Mrs. Fu felt guilty and became more concerned about Fu Jinrou's affairs.
Mrs. Fu said: "Jinrou has been in Beijing for a while. She is not young anymore and her marriage cannot be delayed. In addition, she is introverted and weak, so I thought about letting her go around various houses so that she can get along with others. Let’s see what the score is so that we can find a good marriage as soon as possible.”
She was supposed to take Fu Jinrou to the Cheng'enhou Mansion today, but later the Queen Mother suddenly summoned her and had to enter the palace, so she asked her daughter-in-law to take her there.
Mrs. Fu frowned and looked at Cao Dejiang: "Why do you suddenly care about Jinrou?"
Cao Dejiang said bluntly: "If that little girl pleases you, just take care of her a little. Don't get too close to her. The same goes for A Qing. Let him stay away from Fu Jinrou."
Mrs. Fu looked puzzled.
Cao Dejiang told Fu Jinrou what Fu Laiqing said meaningfully when they met outside. After she finished speaking, she said in a deep voice:
"That little girl doesn't seem to be a pure-minded person. If other people hear her words, they will definitely feel that the Fu family has treated her badly. A Qing's mother, the little girl from the Xu family, and the wife of Cheng'enhou Mansion , all the girls are squeezing her out together.”
Madam Fu's face was a bit ugly: "Brother, did you misunderstand? She may have done it unintentionally..."
"If it's unintentional, then we can't keep her."
Cao Dejiang's face was particularly indifferent: "You have never treated her badly since she entered the capital. She is well fed, clothed and housed. You even made an exception to bring her into the palace for the palace banquet that day."
"If she is a person who repays her kindness, she will definitely feel grateful. From the bottom of her heart, she feels that the Fu family is her dependence, respect, and admiration for you. She will also subconsciously protect the rest of the Fu family, even if she really doesn't understand those ladies and ladies in the capital. She will never speak out to reveal her grievances, and even implicate Qiaoqing, an unmarried girl."
"Besides, Ah Qing said that she has been sick every once in a while since she came to Beijing. Is she really too weak to bear the pain, or is she just using this as an excuse like today to exchange for your love and get what she wants? ?”
He looked at Mrs. Fu:
"Aqing is young and hasn't seen many tricks of the queen, but you are not a confused person and you shouldn't not be able to see clearly the little girl's tricks."
Xiao Yan saw that Mrs. Fu's face was not good, and said warmly: "Ms. Fu, she had made a sarcastic comment about her before when she was talking to Tang Ning. At that time, my identity was unknown, and Tang Ning was close to an eunuch and I protected her. No one dares to say anything about it face to face."
Mrs. Fu's face darkened: "Did she tell Tang Ning these words?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "Although I didn't say it directly, the meaning is probably the same."
Mrs. Fu frowned. She would not doubt her eldest brother, nor did she think that Xiao Yan and Tang Ning would arrange Fu Jinrou for no reason. Mrs. Fu knew their temperament. If Fu Jinrou had not really said this, Xiao Yan would never slander or accuse her.
One was a misunderstanding, but what about the two?
Did she really misjudge Fu Jinrou?
Mrs. Fu said: "I will pay close attention to it and tell Ah Qing."
Seeing that she took it seriously, Cao Dejiang didn't say anything more. In his opinion, Fu Jinrou's clumsy methods made people laugh.
The little girl was very scheming and wanted to stir up trouble for no apparent reason. If she hadn't paid attention, she might have been deceived by her, but now that she knew there was a problem, her gentle and carefree appearance was full of hypocrisy.
When Fu Laiqing came in with tea, they had stopped talking about Fu Jinrou.
The tea cups fell in front of several people's tables. After Fu Laiqing sat next to him, Cao Dejiang asked:
"Why did you come into the palace to see the Queen Mother today? Wasn't she already in poor health some time ago? Why did she suddenly summon you?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Mrs. Fu's expression turned unpleasant: "The Queen Mother wants Qiao Qing to enter the palace."
Cao Dejiang was stunned for a moment: "Enter the palace? Your Majesty wants to give the prince a concubine?"
Xie Pingjia had already married a concubine when he was still a prince. After entering the East Palace, she naturally became a crown princess. Emperor An was "gaming" with the prince during this time. He wanted to use the marriage to manipulate the prince and give him a concubine. is also normal.
Mrs. Fu pursed her lips tightly and shook her head: "Not the prince."
Cao Dejiang frowned: "Which prince is that?"
Could it be that His Majesty wants to support other princes to rise up and compete with the prince in the ring?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fu's face was still ugly: "No, the Queen Mother wants Qiao Qing to enter the harem."
Cao Dejiang was startled for a moment, and after instantly understanding what Madam Fu meant, his face turned livid: "You mean the Queen Mother wants to choose a concubine for His Majesty?!"
Fu Laiqing was instantly furious and slapped his hand on the table.
"Is she crazy? How old is Your Majesty? My cousin is only fourteen years old. She actually asked her to be His Majesty's concubine?!"
It’s enough for An Di to be a grandfather to his cousin!
Is he still shameless? !
