Chapter 371 Sleeping with the Wrong Bride
Since Lin Shuran had Xu Manman, she would wake up earlier every morning than before. When she woke up and opened her eyes, she found that Xu Junze was no longer around her.

As far as she knew, apart from Zhen Guogong Mansion, Xu Junze, and Yao Wang Mansion, there were still some young officials whose foundations were not stable, who had been firmly standing behind the emperor. The Marquis Mansion is close, or there are forces behind him that he wants to support. In short, although the emperor is the king, most of the civil and military officials are not with him, so he seems to be more passive in the matter of the crown prince. Hou Weiqianjie was restrained.

Xu Junze seldom talked to Lin Shuran about the court affairs, and Lin Shuran seldom asked, because even if she didn't ask, she would find out by herself.

Yesterday was the grand wedding of Wei Xiong, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and today Lin Shuran has a small banquet to attend, she promised Qiu that she would take Xu Manman and the Xu family's children to Zhen Guogong Mansion to play.

So, after breakfast, Lin Shuran prepared some gifts, and Lin Shuran took the children to Zhen Guogong's mansion. Qiushi and Lei Yingying were waiting for her in the mansion, Lei Haobo and Du Yuan even invited Mr. I took a day off, waiting to play with Xu Manman and the Xu family brothers.

There is also a special place for children to play in Zhen Guogong's mansion. Although Xu Manman has no nanny, Honggu took the initiative to take care of her. Only when the child is hungry will she go to find Lin Shuran.

In the room, Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, Yang Shi, daughter-in-law Qiu Shi, daughter Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran sat separately as guests and hosts, while the maids and mothers-in-law were all guarding outside.

"Sister Ran, do you know that something strange happened in Dingyuanhou's Mansion last night?" After sitting down, Lei Yingying asked with a smile on purpose.

Yang Shi and Qiu Shi helplessly smiled and glanced at Lei Yingying first, then at Lin Shuran, and found that she shook her head to express her ignorance, and she knew it clearly in her eyes. , every family in the capital should know about it.

Lei Yingying didn't wait for Lin Shuran to ask what was going on, so she took the initiative to say: "Last night, the eldest son of Dingyuan Hou's mansion entered the right bridal chamber but slept with the wrong bride. This bride has somehow changed from Chen Jiating, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, to An Ning." Zhao Kerou from the uncle's mansion, and the old lady from the Anning uncle's mansion are not forgiving, but the uncooked rice has been cooked, and the Dingyuan Hou's mansion has no choice but to accept Zhao Kerou as a concubine. room."

After the incident, no matter what Zhao Kerou said, everyone did not believe that she was innocent. It was heard that she knocked out the bride, Chen Jiating, and put on her wedding dress. Wei Xiong was drunk, and he It wasn't that she married Chen Jiating willingly, so she got married without seeing the bride's face clearly, and only found out that the bride had changed the next day.

Lin Shuran also didn't expect that Zhao Kerou would be so courageous now, that she would dare to cheat in the Dingyuan Hou's mansion. It seems that this ancient woman was also very daring for her own purpose, but Chen Jiating, the imperial concubine, might not agree.

Sure enough, Lei Yingying told her that after the prime minister's mansion knew the news, the Ruan family came to the Hou's mansion, and slapped Zhao Kerou twice in front of everyone, blaming her for ruining her daughter's wedding night. The Marquis Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion specially arranged for an expert to calculate the date of marriage, so that Wei Xiong and Chen Jiating could successfully conceive the heir of the Hou Mansion after consummating their marriage.

Now that things have changed, the groom's officer, Wei Xiong, doesn't care about it. Faced with this situation, Dingyuan Hou and his wife had no choice but to keep Zhao Kerou as a concubine, and comfort Ruan and Chen Jiating, and choose another house on a good day and auspicious day.

Even if the concubines in the Hou's mansion are poor people, they will have a soft sedan chair to enter the mansion, but Zhao Kerou stayed in the Hou's mansion directly, the name is not right, but this is the condition for the Ruan family not to pursue this matter, Mr. Anning The mansion had no choice but to agree, otherwise the matter would spread, and the uncle's mansion would lose all face.

"It is said that this happened just now. How did you know about it because you are so well informed?" Lei Yingying is a gossip, and Lin Shuran knew about it, but after all, this is a private matter in the back residence of the Dingyuan Houfu. It will be publicized, how did Lei Yingying know.

Qiu answered Lin Shuran's doubts and said, "The shopping ladies in all the prefectures in the capital will go out to buy before dawn, but if there is someone who is not strict, what happens in these houses is not always the same. I knew it a long time ago, nothing unusual."

Lin Shuran nodded to express her understanding, and then Mrs. Yang straightened her expression, looked at Lin Shuran seriously and said, "Sister Ran, please come today because I need your help with something."

"Auntie, please tell me!" Seeing Yang's solemn tone, Lin Shuran replied.

Yang Shi, Qiu Shi, and Lei Yingying exchanged glances, then looked at Lin Shuran and said: "These days the court ministers are determined to let the emperor appoint a heir, the empress dowager and the emperor are in a difficult situation, two days ago the empress dowager called me into the palace , I hope I can persuade the mistresses of the families to persuade their husbands to stand on the emperor's side, this matter cannot be done with great fanfare, and my power is limited, so I hope you can help me do this together."

"Sister, however, you are the smartest and have many ideas. I think it is most appropriate for you to help with this matter!" Lei Yingying strongly recommended Lin Shuran to Yang. Although Xu Junze was not very popular outside because of his personality, but Lin Shuran, the general's wife, left a good impression on the noble ladies in the capital.

"I'm worried that if I can't do it well, I'll miss a big deal!" The things Yang asked herself to do can be big or small. She has never done it before, and she doesn't know if she can do it well.

"Sister Ran, I believe you can do it well, and the Queen Mother also believes it!" Yang's meaningful words made Lin Shuran understand that the Queen Mother decided on this matter, so she nodded and agreed.

Seeing her answer, Lei Yingying immediately looked at her and asked, "Sister Ran, what do you think should be done? Why don't you gather these wives together and beat them hard?"

"Don't come up with random ideas. If you can achieve your goal with a little beating, the matter will be simple!" Mrs. Yang glanced at her daughter slightly. None of those mistresses are good people, and they are thinking about a family. The livelihood and future of the children and grandchildren, this time is different from the past. Standing in the wrong team will lead to the honor and disgrace of the nine clans, so don't be careless.

"Auntie, you believe in me so much. I will do my best to do this matter. As for how to do it, let me think about it after returning home." We are all in the same boat, and we should advance and retreat together, let alone Lin Shuran. I feel that now is not a good time to establish a prince.
