After Feng Min hesitated again and again, he made a decision in his heart.
Xie saw the clues and dismissed the maid, leaving only his confidant, Nanny Qiao, by his side.
Soon, the bamboo curtain fell in the hands of Grandma Qiao.
"What on earth did you do?" Mr. Xie's face was extremely cold. "The reason why you came to pay homage to your ancestors and pray for blessings was just to meet the Ming Dynasty Prince... Tell me, have you done something shameless and ruined my Feng family?" Something about the wind?"
"No granddaughter!" Feng Min immediately denied.
"Then why did Mrs. Ying Guogong suddenly write to you and agree to be the crown prince's concubine?" Xie sneered: "It can't be that you have won her favor and caught her eye?"
Although the Chang family had revealed their intention to marry into her family a long time ago, that was why she agreed to do such a scene at Dengtai Tower on the Dragon Boat Festival...
As a result, the play failed, her reputation plummeted, and she was demoted from a first-class lady to a county monarch!
She paid such a heavy price for this matter, but when she later tried to test the Chang family's marriage, the other party pretended to be stupid with her, and even insinuated that she couldn't see her own identity and was delusional.
Naturally, she couldn't give in, but the other party was the Ming family's wife. No matter how angry she was, she could only temporarily swallow the loss of silence.
But through this incident, she had completely seen Chang's face.
Therefore, Xie was very sure at this time. If something had not happened, Chang would never have made such a concession... Although it was just a side chamber, Chang's initiative to mention it was unusual.
Xie Shi was waiting for her granddaughter's answer.
Even though there was no one else in the room, Feng Min still subconsciously glanced around, wary and uneasy.
Xie Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"It's because..." Feng Min clenched her sleeves tightly, her voice low and trembling slightly: "It's because Prince Ming killed someone!"
Jie's face changed: "Killing?"
"Yes..." Feng Min quickly paled when he mentioned this matter for the first time in many days: "On the mountain behind Dayun Temple...he killed the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady, with his own hands."
Aunt Qiao, who was standing by the bamboo curtain, was also shocked when she heard this.
It turns out that the person who killed the eldest grandson Qiniangzi turned out to be the heir apparent of the Ming family!
Jie Shi lowered his voice: "Then why did Dali Temple interrogate the husband of the Chang family as a murderer?"
"It was Mrs. Ying Guogong who did it!" Feng Min said: "It was she who had people secretly deal with the aftermath and framed the incident on the husband of the Chang family..."
Afterwards, Mrs. Chang even sent someone to "remind" her not to talk nonsense, and to teach her how to behave so as not to look strange in front of others, etc.
She did everything as she was asked, but now the other party just wants to send her away with a side room position!
"In that case, how did you know the inside story of this matter?" Xie asked.
Feng Min moved his lips, but couldn't speak for a while.
Xie's face turned serious: "Were you there at that time, or did you also take action?!"
"No...I didn't!" Feng Min shook his head quickly: "I didn't touch the seventh lady, the eldest grandson, I...I just stopped her maid!"
Xie Shi looked at her: "Stop? How did you stop it!"
The Seventh Lady of Changsun made a fuss because she heard that the bodies of Changsun Xuan and his female envoy were found together!
"I took a stone..." Feng Min's face changed as he said this, and his voice became even lower: "I hit her with a stone..."
"You stupid thing!" Xie Shi was furious: "What's the difference between doing this and conspiring with the Ming family's heir to kill the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady!"
That's the girl from Changsun's family!
"My granddaughter was forced too!" Feng Min didn't know whether she was afraid or regretful, her eyes were red.
At that time, Ming Jin couldn't help but strangled the neck of the seventh lady, Changsun. She was like crazy, saying things like "if you don't toast, you will be fined", "So what about Changsun", "You don't even need to beg me now." used"……
Chang Sunxuan's maid wanted to call someone to rescue her girl, but she was in a mess and her clothes were disheveled. If someone came to see her, her reputation would be completely ruined!
Not only that, Ming Jin also urged her to stop the maid in a vicious voice, and she didn't dare not listen!
At that time, she was extremely panicked and frightened. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know how she picked up the stone and hit it on the back of the maid's head...
Feng Min didn't want to recall the terrible situation that repeatedly appeared in her dreams. She covered her face in pain and fear, shook her head and cried.
"I don't want to kill anyone either..."
"But I really can't help it!"
She is a victim too!
It was Prince Ming who wanted to force her to go first, so she was so frightened that she called out for help, which attracted the seventh lady, the eldest grandson...
People are also the ones that Crown Prince Ming wants to kill...it is not her decision!
Jie Shi: "You still dare to cry, do you know that you conspired with her to kill the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady... What kind of disaster this move will bring to the Feng family!"
"Grandma, don't worry..." Feng Min stopped crying and raised her face: "The Yingguo Palace will take care of everything! No one will doubt the Ming Crown Prince and his granddaughter!"
As she spoke, she mustered up the courage to grab Jie Shi's sleeve: "The fault has been made, and it will be of no use for my grandmother to blame her granddaughter... In any case, as long as my granddaughter can marry into the Ming family and become the heir's wife, it will be of great benefit to our Feng family." Home is always a good thing for a grandmother, isn’t it?”
There was no point in crying, so she chose to tell her grandmother about the matter, just to ask her grandmother to help her think of a way to make her the royal wife of the crown prince Ying Guo!
She has borne so much and paid such a price for it. There is no other choice or retreat before her... She must become the wife of the prince!
Looking at her granddaughter's eyes filled with blind obsession, Xie's face was solemn and silent for a moment.
After a while, Xie Shi walked slowly to the couch and sat down.
Feng Min followed step by step, knelt down in front of her grandmother, and clutched her sleeves tightly.
Grandma is a person who has gone through great storms, and it would be good for her to marry into the Ming family. Grandma would probably be willing to help her with advice.
Xie sat on the edge of the couch and took a long time before speaking.
"You don't have to think about the position of the main wife."
Feng Min looked at her in disbelief: "Grandma..."
Xie: "Do you know why Mrs. Ying Guogong is willing to hire you as her concubine at this time?"
"The granddaughter knows..." Feng Min said: "It's because the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady, has not yet married, and at this critical moment, she is afraid that her granddaughter will say something that she shouldn't say..."
It was only after she was sure of this that she dared to write to Ming Jin to urge him.
"You also know that this is a critical moment." Xie Shi said: "Now the family status of the Feng family and the Ming family do not match. In the past, it might have been a good talk... But at this juncture, if the Ming family suddenly Hiring you as my wife, such an unusual and eye-catching move, may arouse speculation and suspicion from interested people - have you ever thought about this?"
Feng Min was stunned when he heard this.
She really hadn't thought about this...
"So, no matter how much you threaten me, the Ming family will not and will not dare to let you be their main wife at this time."
Feng Min: "Then...what about waiting? Wait until this incident is over, after this limelight..."
Jie Shi sneered: "When this is over, do you think the Ming family will still pay attention to you?"
"What should I do with my granddaughter?" Feng Min was flustered and unwilling: "Can my granddaughter only be a side room?"
"Before the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty married his first wife, although you were a concubine, you were no different from the first wife." Xie's voice could not tell the emotion or anger: "And you have his handle in your hand. As long as you handle it properly and have a good sense of proportion, come on. If he gives birth to a son and a half daughters for him to rely on, life won't be any worse if he thinks about it."
Aunt Qiao, who was standing by the bamboo curtain, was startled when she heard the words. She subconsciously looked at Jie Shi. The Lord's words were...
Feng Min was a little shaken when he heard this.
"But the choice is still up to you." Xie said coldly: "You have caused such a disaster, and I, as a grandmother, can't help you."
Feng Min didn't hesitate after hearing this: "...the side room is a side room, as long as my granddaughter agrees!"
Xie Shi looked at her for a moment and then said: "In that case, I will go see her in person tomorrow.
Meet Mrs. Ying Guogong. Although you want to be the concubine, you must let her know that the daughter of our Feng family is not someone who can be bullied at will by the Ren Ming family. "
"But then, wouldn't she know that her granddaughter told you the truth?" Feng Min was a little uneasy: "I promised not to tell you..."
Jie Shi sneered heavily: "Of course I want her to know!"
"If you are the only one who knows this secret, and you marry into the Ming family in the future, according to her Chang family's methods, I'm afraid it won't take long to silence you!"
"Let her know that I also have this handle to save your life!"
Feng Min suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.
right!
She almost forgot this...
If she was the only one who knew about this, the other party wouldn't have any scruples about keeping silent!
No wonder Chang asked people to remind her time and time again not to tell anyone...
Feng Min realized it later and felt an infinite chill in his heart.
After all, she was still too young, and when she suddenly encountered such a thing, she could think of too little in a panic.
"Fortunately, I have my grandmother to think and plan for me..." Feng Min was extremely happy to tell her grandmother about this at this moment: "My granddaughter will listen to her grandmother's arrangements for everything from now on!"
Xie Shi nodded slightly towards her and said sternly: "To avoid causing complications, please do not mention this matter to the second person."
Feng Min nodded obediently: "Grandma, don't worry."
With this assurance, Xie reached out her hand and patted her granddaughter's hand, which was rare.
After returning, Aunt Qiao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "...Does the Lord really want the girl to marry to the Ming family?"
The girl is young and thinks too simplistically. How can Mrs. Ying Guogong treat the girl well just because many people know the truth?
[In view of the general environment,
It should be noted that what the girl holds is not just the handle of Prince Ming, the girl herself also killed someone!
Even though the Ming family would not kill the girl, there are too many ways to torture people in the back house, and there are countless cruel ways to make people unable to speak...
It is impossible for the prince to think of this.
Xie Shi naturally thought of it.
"She has caused such a disaster. I wonder if the Changsun family will know the truth one day... Our Feng family really cannot keep her." Xie said, "It is the best way to hand her over to the Ming family as soon as possible."
Aunt Qiao: "But..."
Xie Shi: "This is the path she chose. She can't blame others. What happens in the future depends on her destiny."
Aunt Qiao didn't say anything more, she just sighed in her heart.
Good fortune... If a sheep enters the tiger's mouth, what kind of good fortune can there be?
Early the next morning, shortly after dawn, Xie went to the door of Duke Ying's mansion.
After meeting the Chang family, Xie family said: "How can we discuss such a big matter as a marriage directly with the juniors? This letter should be sent to me by the Duke and Madam."
She placed the crumpled letter on the coffee table at hand.
Mrs. Chang's eyes flashed slightly, and her smile did not reach her eyes. She said with emotion: "It seems that your lady is really an obedient child. She has to talk to the prince about everything."
"It's natural to talk about such a big thing." Xie Shi smiled slightly: "She was frightened after she came back from Dayun Temple. She had no choice but to discuss it with my grandmother."
Mrs. Chang also smiled and picked up the teacup: "Since Mr. Xie knows it, he must also know that the lady of your house is also a person with a fate now... If I hadn't covered it up for her, your Feng family would probably be in danger now." It’s hard to be as peaceful as this moment.”
Xie Shi: "That's true, but if the entire Feng family is put together, how can the life of Prince Ming be so valuable?"
"It's true. My son's surname is Ming, and he is the nephew of a saint. Naturally, he is more expensive." Chang asked with a smile, "So, it is reasonable for him to marry a girl from your noble family as his concubine, right?"
Xie Shi is no better than that little girl. Whether this marriage can be accomplished or not is still unknown.
Xie Shi was noncommittal: "This is the only one in our Feng family.
This girl was brought up by me personally, and she has learned all the ways of running a house as a mistress. When it comes to being a concubine, even if her family name is clear, she will inevitably feel a little aggrieved... Yesterday she got the title of the Duke's wife. I wrote back and cried a lot. "
Chang's smile gradually faded.
So, do you still want to be the royal wife?
Not to mention other things, if the main wife dies, the person she marries is the second wife. Most of the truly powerful families are not willing to let their daughters be the second wife. This is really troublesome.
If she were to tell her, this Xie family was also Hutu, whether it was the main wife or the side wife, the fate would be the same anyway, so why can't she think about it? Is the name of a married woman so important?
Just when Mr. Chang sighed, he heard Mr. Xie speak again: "I already advised the allergic child when I came here. The current situation is different, and people must know how to advance and retreat."
Mrs. Chang raised her eyebrows slightly: "So, the Lord has agreed?"
Xie: "Whether you agree or not depends on the sincerity of the Duke's wife."
Chang Shi smiled half-heartedly: "I wonder what the sincerity you are referring to?"
"The position of a field doctor in the Ministry of Industry is vacant. My son has been working in the Ministry of Industry for many years and has always been dedicated to his work. He is just missing an opportunity."
Mrs. Chang sneered in her heart.
His face didn't show much, just because he said: "The Tuntian doctor is a fifth-rank official. If I remember correctly, Chief Feng should be a ninth-rank official... Such an extraordinary promotion is probably against the rules."
"If everything is unified, how can we talk about sincerity." Xie said slowly: "Madam just said that the prince of your house has a clear surname, so he must be more expensive... He is just a fifth-rank official, and I don't think it is enough to make you noble. The government is too embarrassed."
After saying this, he stood up from the chair and said, "I will go back and wait for my wife's good news."
Mrs. Chang smiled and called the maid to see off the guests.
After Mr. Xie left, Mr. Chang sneered and said, "I was wrong. Her granddaughter is Hutu. She is not Hutu at all."
The other party clearly understood what the main wife and the side wife were, and knew that those were only temporary titles...
"Even my own granddaughter can be used in exchange for calculations..." Chang said sarcastically: "She is indeed Mrs. Xie who took the lead in advocating to abolish the emperor."
Chang's "Peng" put down the tea cup.
The servant girl didn't dare to say anything for a while.
After a while, Mrs. Chang calmed down and asked, "Is the trial going to start over at Dali Temple?"
