Fu Qionghua's words naturally fell into the ears of Mrs. Wei. The old lady couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she saw her daughter coming in, she laughed and cursed: "You have the nerve to tell this to a naughty girl. You are not ashamed."
Fu Qionghua walked directly to Mrs. Wei, sat down, and said with a smile: "Mother, you love your daughter. How can you be afraid of others knowing that your daughter is happy before it's too late?"
After saying this, she glanced at Xie Shu, who had stood up and stood aside since she came in, and asked with a bit of blame: "Why did you come here so early, and you are not afraid of disturbing your grandmother's rest?"
Xie Yan, who was following her, also said, "That's right, even if my sister wants to show her filial piety, she should come here with her mother and me. If you don't come here alone, it will make people feel that my mother and I are alienated from you." , causing some gossip and causing mother to be misunderstood."
Xie Yan was very jealous because yesterday Mrs. Wei brought the mutton-fat jade bracelet to Xie Shu as a meeting gift. After returning home in the evening, she was scolded by her mother Fu Qionghua, and she was even more jealous of Xie Shu. My sister was coming, so after hearing what my mother said, I immediately put the blame on Xie Shu.
When she and Fu Qionghua said this, even Mrs. Wei's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xie Shu, her granddaughter, with a little more scrutiny.
However, Xie Shu was a little hesitant and hesitated before speaking: "But, doesn't my mother dislike me coming over too early to bother me when I'm at home? She said that if I have the filial piety to go to my grandma and fulfill my filial piety for you, that's fine. , there is no need to accompany my mother to eat like my sister."
As Xie Shuo spoke, she looked at Fu Qionghua with some confusion and caution: "Now that I have left my grandmother in the capital, my mother wants her to get up early every day to greet you and accompany you and your sister to have dinner together." ?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. Not to mention the maids and women serving in the room, even Mrs. Wei and the second girl Fu Ying could not hide the shock and surprise on their faces.
Fu Qionghua's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and Xie Yan's face turned red with anger. But for a moment, she didn't know what to say to reprimand Xie Yan, the younger sister.
She was really wondering in her heart. In the past, Xie Shu had been bullied by her, let alone being careful about his filial piety in front of his mother. Why did he become a little different after he got sick at Fu'an Temple and woke up.
She subconsciously looked towards her mother Fu Qionghua. Fu Qionghua's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mrs. Wei.
"You, you have your own thoughts if you want to ask the girl to be filial in front of her grandmother and gain a good reputation. But that was then, and now that she has entered the capital and lived in our Duke Anguo's mansion, it is better to be close to the girl. Get close, so as not to misunderstand me."
"Young girl, you came here so early just because you want to show your filial piety to my grandmother. As a mother, you can't blame her."
As Mrs. Wei spoke, she glanced at Fu Qionghua with a hint of warning, and then said to Fu Ying, the second girl standing next to her: "Take your cousin to your aunt and your mother's place. I went there five years ago." I’ve met you before, so you don’t have to follow me this time.”
As she spoke, she looked lovingly at Mr. Xie who was standing there, and said warmly: "Good boy, go and pay a serious visit to your two aunts. Your uncles are busy, so there is no need to go all the way."
After Mrs. Wei said this, Mr. Xie naturally agreed. He blessed Mrs. Wei and then said to Fu Qionghua and Xie Yan: "Mother, sister, I will go first."
Fu Qionghua said calmly: "Go ahead. Your aunt is in charge of the Central Government and has a lot of things to do. Don't stay too long and delay your aunt's business."
When she said this, Fu Qionghua's eyes showed a bit of discomfort. After all, Xie Shu was the daughter of her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou. Privately, she didn't want Xie Shu to get along too much with Mrs. Zhou, but now they lived in the same mansion. , there was no way to avoid it, she could only give Xie Shu some encouragement in this way, lest Xie Shu and Zhou really move around too much, and people would notice something.
Xie Shu knew her life experience, so it was not surprising that Fu Qionghua would give her such instructions, but there was a bit of ridicule in his eyes.
She lowered her eyebrows slightly and said very obediently: "Yes, my daughter doesn't have to worry about it."
After saying this, he felt blessed again, turned around and followed the second girl Fu Ying out of the house.
Mrs. Wei glanced at her daughter Fu Qionghua with a bit of complaint, then at Xie Yan who was standing next to her, and said with a smile: "Almond tea is brewing in the small kitchen. Follow Chaoyun over to see if it's ready. If you want You can add whatever condiments you want to it. Someone gave your uncle a gift as a gift years ago. They are raisins dried in the Western Regions. If you like them, add more. Little girls like to eat sweet things."
Although Xie Yan was willful, she was not stupid. Knowing that her grandmother wanted to talk to her mother in private, she immediately agreed and followed the eldest maid Chao Yun to the small kitchen.
Mrs. Wei sent the people waiting around her away, leaving only her and Fu Qionghua in the room.
She looked a little bad and reprimanded: "Isn't this girl the daughter you gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy? Why do you treat her so harshly? Even I, an old woman, can't stand it anymore. It can be seen that she has been in the Xie family all these years. How much grievance have you suffered?”
"Not to mention anything else, yesterday in front of your eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, a few girls, and the young master, you said that it was a waste of time for me as a grandmother to give you a greeting gift for your little girl. What do you think, little girl? And just now, little girl What's wrong with the girl who came to my place early to say hello and tried her best to fulfill her filial piety? Why do you want to find fault with me and insist on finding a crime for this girl? You, a mother, behave like this, and this is what makes Yan Jie suffer. Influence, treating your biological sister like this!"
"How can I, a mother, love your daughter? How can you be so partial? Those who don't know better think that the little girl didn't come out of your belly and is your enemy!"
Mrs. Wei always loved her daughter, but now she was really angry and couldn't help but said some harsh words.
Fu Qionghua was already a ghost, and her heart trembled when she heard these words. She could not defend herself against the matter of favoritism, and could only choke up and said: "If it weren't for giving birth to her that made her daughter bad, how could she have become so bad all these years?" No longer pregnant, unable to give birth to a son for the Xie family?"
Fu Qionghua was full of grievances and burst into tears: "Mother, does she know how much grievances my daughter has suffered in the Xie family over the years because of this matter?"
When she said this, Mrs. Wei's anger disappeared, leaving only heartache.
"Why, the Xie family treated you so harshly and gave you a cold look? I have asked people to send many things to the Xie family over the years, but Xie Shaochuan still dares to make you suffer?"
Fu Qionghua cried and said: "He is okay, she is my mother-in-law. Ever since I hurt her body, she has been very angry with her daughter. She also sent some beautiful and tender maids to my husband. She said that it was because I, the legal wife, was neither born nor born. When I came out, I asked someone else to give birth to my husband, and said that when I gave birth to a child, I would put the child in my name and ask me to raise it as the legitimate son of the Xie family. I was disgusted to death!"
Mrs. Wei listened and felt a great pain in her heart. She quickly comforted her daughter: "You have suffered so much these years. I should have cruelly stopped you from marrying to the Xie family back then. The Xie family, from such a high family background, actually dares to do so now. I bullied you, and that Xie Shaochuan..."
Just when Mrs. Wei was about to curse, Fu Qionghua sobbed, raised his head and said, "He is okay. Even though the old lady sent people to his house, he has never used them. No matter how good he has been to his daughter these years, it is a loss. He dealt with the old lady so that his daughter did not suffer greater injustice."
The anger in Mrs. Wei's heart was now a little less. Seeing her daughter like this, she clearly did not regret marrying Xie Shaochuan. She also didn't know what kind of magic potion Xie Shaochuan had given to his daughter to make her become like this. , it has been more than ten years and Baba has not even complained.
"What happened to Liang Heng? Did your mother-in-law force you to bring him to the capital?" Mrs. Wei mentioned Liang Heng.
Fu Qionghua's face changed slightly as he listened, turned away and started crying again.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Wei quickly asked with concern.
Fu Qionghua cried for a while, then raised his head and said to Mrs. Wei: "She, she wants her daughter to marry Liang Hengxuan."
She didn't say it clearly, but seeing her hesitating like this, Mrs. Wei quickly understood, and immediately her face darkened: "How dare she even think about our girl from Duke Anguo's mansion?"
"When you married into the Xie family at a young age, did Mr. Liang think that all the girls in our family would marry at a young age?"
Fu Qionghua shed tears and whispered for a long time: "Mother, look at this girl Ying..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wei's face turned livid: "No! Your eldest brother has no daughters, so there are only two girls in our generation in Anguo Palace. One is the eldest daughter Yi Yatou, and the other is the concubine Ying Yatou. . Because of this, even though Ying Yatou is a concubine, she has been raised as a legitimate daughter since she was a child. This is absolutely impossible!"
When Mrs. Wei refused, Fu Qionghua threw herself into her arms and cried non-stop: "But if my daughter can't do this, Ms. Liang doesn't know how to make it difficult for her daughter. She makes her want to hang herself." Forget it! Then you don’t have to be criticized and bullied for not being able to give the Xie family a son."
"Although my husband treats me well and never blames me, he also attaches great importance to filial piety. I have had several quarrels with Mr. Liang over my daughter over the years. My daughter does not care about anything else. She just wants to accomplish this and make Ms. Liang happy. I also ask your husband not to feel guilty towards Mrs. Liang, because he feels that he is unfilial."
"Mother, Ying Yatou is a concubine. Even if she was born in our Duke Anguo's palace, she wouldn't be able to find a good match in the capital. She is just a stepmother or a low-wives. It would be better to marry Ying Yatou to the Liang family and solve the problem. For solving her daughter's difficulties, Mrs. Liang owes her a big favor, and on the other hand, her daughter also likes Ying Yatou."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Wei's expression changed again and again, and she said for a long time: "Tell me to think about it again."
...
Here, Xie Miao came out of Fanlan Courtyard and went back to her residence to get two boxes. Then she followed the second girl Fu Ying to Jing'an Courtyard where the Zhou family lived. When they were about to arrive at Jing'an Courtyard, what a coincidence. By chance, he met Fu Xuzhi who came to pay his respects to Zhou.
