Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 652
"Miss San, why are you..."

Zhao Xi smiled, and while supporting Jinxiu to step into the door, he casually asked, "What? It can't be me? Or, Mom got the news a long time ago, knowing that I won't come back when I go out today? So at first Did you get scared when you saw me come back?"

"No, no, I don't have any slaves!" The women didn't dare to say a word, and quickly laughed, "The slaves are not scared, the slaves are happy for you!"

"What are you happy about?" Zhao Xiwei heard something wrong in his tone, and glanced sideways at her.

The mother-in-law's heart jumped inexplicably when she was glanced at like this, and then she thought that she would tidy up Sister Yu as soon as she returned home, and she didn't dare to hide anything, so she took the initiative to flatter her and said: "Congratulations to Miss San, congratulations to Miss San, your happy event coming!"

"Happy event?" Zhao Xiwei had already stepped up the steps, but when he heard this, he retreated, and asked calmly, "Where does the joy come from?"

"This..." The mother-in-law faltered.

Zhao Xiwei's eyes narrowed, and he immediately ordered: "Slap your mouth!"

"Yes!" Someone jumped out from the corridor and grabbed the old woman, "Slap!" It was just a slap on the face.

"Girl, spare your life!" The mother-in-law exclaimed immediately.

Yin Bao squeezed his numb wrist, and smiled coldly: "You dare to play tricks in front of our young lady, do you really think you are an onion?"

"I don't have it, but I don't dare." The women knelt down and begged for mercy, but they refused to tell the truth.

Yin Bao was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to slap him down again.

Zhao Xiwei stepped up the steps, and said lightly: "If you don't say it, don't say it, tie him up, throw him directly into the stable, and starve for three or four days."

"No, no, my servant said! My servant said!" Hearing the words thrown into the stable, the mother-in-law's face paled instantly, and she confessed after climbing two steps: "Miss San! Da Furen wants to arrange a marriage for you!"

marriage?

The whole small courtyard fell into silence immediately.

Zhao Xiwei changed his clothes, and a maid came in with a water basin.

Sitting on the soft couch, she stretched out her hands, and the servant girl rolled up her sleeves, and then put her hands into the warm water, but her eyes fell on the woman kneeling at the door.

The mother-in-law was suppressed by her a long time ago, and now she can only tell everything she knows——

"You have been busy all day, and you don't know what happened at the mansion... Didn't the eldest lady go to the princess's mansion? She went there without breakfast, and stayed at her mother's house for half a day before coming back to catch up with dinner. Well...the face was stern when she went out, but she was beaming when she came back. The servant girl thought, the lady is in a good mood, and she must give us a few rewards, so she walked over cheekily...who knew that the lady was in a good mood Good news—"

"En." Zhao Xi washed his hands slightly, and Jinxiu brought over the soup: "Miss, this is the big bone soup that has just been boiled, drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Xiwei reached out to take it, scooped up a small spoonful, and saw that the woman stopped, and ordered: "Continue."

The mother-in-law let out a "hey" and said with an apologetic smile: "The maidservant didn't hear it very clearly, I only heard the eldest lady and the old lady mention it, saying that it is..."

Zhao Xiwei dropped the spoon with a "slap", and the mother-in-law's back felt cold, and said anxiously: "It is said that it was the eldest princess' idea to help you find a good husband who suits your wishes, and said that anyway, you have a good husband in your hand." With 10 taels in hand, I don't have to worry about not having a dowry, and the lady said..." She glanced at her in shock, before she bravely continued, "It just so happens that Miss Yu is about to have a good event, why don't we hold two happy events together, and say It's to get you a good deal before summer..."

He hurriedly flattered her again: "Miss, you are really lucky. If the eldest princess is kind enough to come forward, this marriage will definitely not go wrong."

Zhao Xi smiled.

The mother-in-law shut her mouth in fright.

kindly?

The eldest princess is not too bad a person. When she first entered the palace for a banquet, it was thanks to the eldest princess that she rescued her.

But just because people are not bad doesn’t mean they are good.

Coupled with Xu Yunjiao standing in the middle, no matter how kind the eldest princess is, it will not be her turn to give it to her.

She picked up the soup, scooped it up with a spoon, drank it slowly, and continued to ask, "What did the old lady say?"

The old woman respectfully said: "Returning to Miss San's words, the old lady seems very angry after hearing this."

"Angry?" Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised.

Getting rid of her who is completely useless, isn't it just returning the Zhao family to a peaceful state?It is also more convenient for the Zhao family to concentrate all their energy on Zhao Chengyan?
It's hard to believe that the old lady didn't join forces with Xu Yunjiao.

But with just one click, a hint of mystery was faintly captured.

And what the mother-in-law said confirmed her conjecture.

"That's right, the servant girl was outside at the time, and she couldn't see the old lady's face clearly through the curtain. She just heard the old lady put the tea bowl on the table and stopped the lady from talking."

The matter involved too much, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to restore the old lady's tone and demeanor, she just raised her voice slightly, and continued to speak vividly——

The old lady's voice was majestic and sharp: "A famous family like ours, although we don't set up chastity memorial archways like other families, we still have to keep the etiquette, righteousness and shame that we should observe. Sister Wei has only been back for a few days, how can she marry as soon as she wants!"

Xu Yunjiao was very unconvinced: "Then she can't always live in her mother's house! Sister Yan and Sister Yu haven't married yet. If word gets out, the two younger sisters haven't married yet, but the family has raised one who is divorced. What will people think of us?"

The old lady was very angry: "Are you short-hearted?"

If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Yunjiao had a child in her belly, she would have ordered them to be kicked out a long time ago.

"Sister Wei, can that be dismissed? Even if she was abolished, she was once a princess, a concubine of the East Palace with three books and six rituals. What happened to her coming back to her mother's house for a few days now? You are so anxious Shouting to drive people out?"

"Mother——" Xu Yunjiao felt embarrassed when she was exposed by her mother-in-law like this, "My daughter-in-law just wants to make a long-term plan for her! After all, she can't stay married forever!"

The old lady suppressed the anger in her heart, and said patiently: "It is not up to us to decide whether to marry."

Xu Yunjiao was taken aback: "I am her aunt, and you are her grandmother, how can I not count?"

"Amitabha!" The old lady said while stroking her congested chest, "Do I need to say this? Sister Wei used to be the concubine of the crown prince, but now the crown prince has not registered a new concubine, but she is talking about marriage first." Marry? Isn’t this a slap in the face of the royal family? Besides, even if you want to marry her off, who in the entire Chang’an city would dare to marry her? Thanks to you, you can still think of it, and you have to find a husband’s family for her all over the capital!”

"Yunjiao, I know you don't like Miss Wei, but it's been more than half a year since she returned to the mansion to recognize her relatives, and our Zhao manor has already acknowledged her background to the outside world, why haven't you made any progress?"

The folk customs of this dynasty were open, and women remarried and divorced everywhere. Even during the period of Emperor Wen, some concubines remarried into the palace.

But if it is said that the concubine remarries after leaving the palace, it is regarded as the first time in the world.
