Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1096 The Murderer in the Dark 7
Fang Dadi thought this made sense, so he decided to go to the capital to take a look.

Fortunately, the Fang family is not far from the capital, and can be reached in one day. After resting for one night in the capital, one can rush back the next day.

So the next day, Brother Fang set out to the capital to inquire about the situation.

The Fang family had been to the Prince of Qingjiang's Mansion before. After all, they had to get familiar with the way so that they could find the original owner to ask for money in the future. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know where the place was. What if they failed to send a letter to ask for money and didn't know the way to the house, wouldn't that be troublesome?

As a result, Brother Fang set out early in the morning and arrived in the afternoon. After asking the doorman about the situation, he unexpectedly heard a piece of news that surprised him greatly. It said that his elder sister had been promoted to be chosen as a concubine. Naturally, this made him very happy. After all, it was good to be promoted. He would get more money every month and would be able to give them more money in the future.

So he immediately asked someone at the door to notify his sister to come out to see him.

The doorman was not completely unfamiliar with Brother Fang, so after hearing what he said, he thought that Concubine Fang used to be a concubine, but now she was a concubine of a certain rank and had a son, so her future prospects would be very different. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect her and immediately sent someone to inform her.

As a result... Concubine Fang did not come. The servant sent by the gatehouse to report came back and said that Concubine Fang said that she had given enough money to her parents' home, and her parents should stop nagging her, lest the news get out and no one would dare to marry a girl from the Fang family. He also said that it was unreasonable for a girl who married out to give all the money she earned to her parents' home, and that she would not give any money to them in the future.

Brother Fang heard that Linlang really didn't want to give it, and that his thirty taels were hopeless. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Tell her that she has already given my eldest brother thirty taels of silver, why doesn't she give it to me? If she doesn't give it to me, aren't you afraid that you will be bullied in the palace in the future without the support of your family?!"

This time, Menzi was unwilling to report it again. After all, Concubine Fang had already told the Fang family to stop. How could this man have the nerve to ask for thirty taels of silver? Even if Concubine Fang had been promoted to Concubine, thirty taels was enough for Concubine Fang's monthly salary for half a year. How could he have the nerve to ask for it?

Moreover, when he came, he didn't know that Concubine Fang had become a concubine. In other words, he originally wanted to take away Concubine Fang's fifteen months' monthly allowance. Just as Concubine Fang said, he was planning to take all her money. It was really too much. No family in the capital would have the nerve to ask a married woman for money in this way.

So after listening to Brother Fang's words, he said in a gloomy tone, "Brother, I advise you to be careful with your words. The queen is only enjoying wealth and glory in our palace. How could she be bullied? Besides, even if she is bullied, you can support her? Are you kidding me?"

It is acceptable for the bride's family to support the daughter who marries out in a family of equal status. However, in a family with such a huge disparity in status, it is a complete joke for the bride's family to ask for money from the bride using the excuse that they can support her.

The status of the husband's family is much higher than that of the daughter's family. How can the daughter's family support her? It is a lie made up to get money.

Fang Dadi's face turned red when the gatekeeper exposed his lie. But looking at the guards of the palace who were eyeing him covetously beside the gatehouse - both the prince's palace and the prince's palace had guards provided by the court to protect the safety of the palace, and their salaries were paid by the court - he did not dare to make a fuss. Fang Dadi had no choice but to return home in defeat.

Although they returned in defeat, after they told their family, they scolded Linlang for being an ungrateful person who forgot her parents' home after becoming rich. Although they scolded her, they did not dare to go to the palace to make a scene. After all, this was not the countryside. If their daughter married someone in the countryside... well, actually, they would not make a scene anyway, because there was no such saying anywhere that all the money earned by their daughter belonged to her parents' home. If they really married someone in the countryside, if they made a scene, they would probably be regarded as crazy and beaten by the in-laws in the countryside.

Besides, if they marry in the countryside, they won’t make any money, so they won’t get a penny.

Because they didn't dare to make a fuss, they could only scold Linlang at home, and they would brag about Linlang outside - after all, Linlang not only gave birth to a son in the Prince's Mansion, but also became a concubine and had a seventh-rank imperial edict. She was so successful and now she was the best in their village. How could they not brag about her? They would be so proud of her if they could brag about her outside.

Not to mention the incompetence and rage of the Fang family, but after confirming that Dongcao was fine, Linlang turned her attention to several concubines in the mansion who had official titles but no sons.

Just as the original body thought, these people were also suspicious. After all, as long as the original body was killed, they could take over the original body's son, and then they would have a son. When the Prince of Qingjiang died in the future, they would not be afraid of not having a son and not being able to move out. Then, if they stayed in the mansion, they would be bullied because they had no one to rely on.

Here, Linlang focuses on Concubine Yuan, who has no children and is old, and is basically no longer favored by Prince Qingjiang.

Some people don't have sons but have daughters. So even though they can't move out of the house in the future, their daughters can visit their parents' home from time to time, and their life will be better at home.

Those who have no children and no one to rely on are easily bullied in the house. Such people are obviously the ones who want to have a son the most.

The others are fine as they are still young and have opportunities in the future. But Concubine Yuan has been with Prince Qingjiang for a long time. It is said that she was arranged to be Prince Qingjiang's concubine before his marriage when the old princess was still alive. Later, when Prince Qingjiang got married, he took her in as his concubine. Later, relying on the relationship with the old princess, she climbed to the position of concubine.

But the woman the old princess arranged for her son naturally couldn't be too charming, lest she ruin her son's life, so her appearance was naturally not outstanding, but she was just steady in her actions. So the Prince of Qingjiang didn't like her very much, but only gave her the position of concubine for the sake of the old princess. She didn't have many opportunities to be favored, so she was almost forty years old and had no children.

At this age and in this era, it is rare for people to have children. Moreover, Prince Qingjiang no longer looks for her, so it is almost impossible for her to have children. If she wants a child, she can only take over someone else's child.

This is also the reason why Linlang finds her suspicious.

However, after watching her for a long time, Linlang didn't find anything suspicious about her. The only thing she could see was that this Concubine Yuan was a bit snobbish and looked down on those with lower status than her - the original body had been on the list of people looked down upon by Concubine Yuan, so Linlang, who inherited the original body's memory, was deeply touched. Of course, now that Linlang has become a concubine, her attitude is better - but when she meets Concubine Song and other people with higher status than her, or powerful people outside the mansion, she looks fawning again.
