Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

So, Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun came to help persuade him, saying, "Your brother has already apologized to you so humbly. How can a family hold a grudge overnight? Just tell him a rule and tell him what to do, and then you'll forgive him."

In fact, Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun felt that their younger son was very sincere and was even willing to give double compensation to the eldest wife. This was a huge sum of money, but the eldest son was still not satisfied. This made Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun feel that their eldest son was too petty.

——Yes, in their eyes, the younger son was willing to give double compensation to the eldest son, so they thought it was a lot of money, and never thought about how high the interest rate for borrowing money in the countryside was (it’s not that they didn’t know that the interest rate for borrowing money in the countryside was high, they were just biased and didn’t want to think about it). If Master Sun wasn’t the elder brother of Master Sun Er, who would give his hard-earned money to another person to spend, while his own family lived a frugal life? And because they were too poor, they were despised by the people of the second wife. During the holidays, the children of the second wife came back, and they looked down on them in their hearts, thinking that they were inferior people, and were not willing to even celebrate the holidays with them.

But they couldn't say that to their eldest son for fear of angering him, so they didn't express their dissatisfaction with him.

However, although Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun did not say what they thought about Master Sun's fussing, their words of reconciliation still annoyed Master Sun. Master Sun felt sad when he saw the old couple defending Master Sun Er with heartache, but he did not show it. He just said coldly: "I didn't do anything to him. I just don't want to forgive him. You feel so sorry for him. I was so miserable when I was kicked out by their family. I was much more pitiful than him. Why didn't you come out to defend me and say a few words for me? Where did you two hide when they kicked us out?"

Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they asked this question.

At that time, they were afraid to be at the scene. If the eldest wife asked them for help, they would not know how to deal with it. After all, the youngest son did not want to live with his brother, and they could not force him to live with his brother. But the eldest son looked pitiful, and if they ignored him, it would seem that they were heartless. So in order to avoid being embarrassed by seeing the people from the eldest wife, and to see the second wife driving the eldest wife away, the old couple hid.

Now, just because the Second House is not living as well as the First House, and is not even as miserable as the First House was back then, but just not as well off, they feel distressed and are willing to stand up for the Second House, to reconcile with the First House, and to let the First House help the Second House. No wonder Master Sun is angry.

Many past events cannot be thought about too carefully. If he does, Master Sun will feel so angry that his liver will ache.

But Linlang advised him not to be angry, saying that if he got angry enough to get sick, no one would be able to replace him. She also said that the family was getting better and better and it was time for him to enjoy himself. It would not be worth it if he lived such a good life and got sick because he was angry that his parents were partial to him and only treated his younger brother well, and that his younger brother was so cruel. Therefore, Master Sun usually did not think about the affairs of the old couple and the second wife, and he could live a relatively comfortable life.

That's why when Master Sun Er came to the door, Master Sun Da asked him to disappear from his sight as soon as possible. It was because he didn't want to think about the past and make himself feel uncomfortable, so he wanted them to leave quickly and not get in his way.

At that moment, Old Master Sun and Old Mistress Sun saw that no matter what they said, Master Sun was unwilling to reconcile with Master Sun No. 2, so they were at a loss. After all, they could not scold Master Sun, saying that Master Sun No. 2 had come to apologize to them, so why wouldn't you forgive him? If they dared to scold Master Sun like that, then the two families would never have peace in the future. Then, as Master Sun said, it might not be that Master Sun was unwilling to forgive the second family, but that Master Sun would make trouble for the second family.

Because he couldn't persuade the first master Sun, the second master Sun was driven out of the main house by the first master Sun. The second master Sun had no choice but to go back. The first master Sun was smart. He didn't drive out the old master Sun and the old lady Sun. After all, they were his parents. If he dared to drive them out, the second master Sun would catch him and accuse him of being unfilial to his parents. He would report him to the government and the news would reach the emperor. He would lose his job, but he would not implicate Linlang.

Speaking of which, Master Sun Er really thought so, and this was also the purpose of bringing the old couple. If the negotiation failed, it would depend on whether Master Sun Da was stupid or not, and whether he would drive away Master Sun and Madam Sun. If he dared to drive them away, he could use this to threaten the eldest wife, which would be pretty good. But seeing that Master Sun Da didn't fall for it, Master Sun Er really had no choice, thinking that the eldest brother had become smarter after being an official for a while.

Seeing that Master Sun Da was not fooled, Master Sun Er did not give up completely. He immediately sent the girl he had found to Master Sun Da's house and told her that he heard that the first lady of the palace could hire people from outside the palace to serve her. Seeing that the first house had not prepared anyone for Linlang, he, as an uncle, would help and find one for her. He said that he had found this girl with great effort and that she was steady and reliable. He asked them to send her to the palace to be used by Linlang. He said that he really wanted to apologize and this was his sincere apology.

He also said that she should not worry about the money for hiring someone, as Linlang had no money in the palace, and he would pay for hiring the girl. It just so happened that the first wife had helped him in the past, and now he was giving back to her so that she could see that he was truly repentant.

When the eldest wife received the girl, the whole family gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Do you think we are stupid? He sent the girl he arranged for us to live with our Linlang. What if he does something bad? I haven't forgotten that he also sent his daughter to the palace to compete for favor with our Linlang. Would he be so kind to help our Linlang?" Madam Sun did not believe in Master Sun Er. She had seen through everything the second house did over the years. That is, there was not a single good person in the second house.

Mr. Sun also agreed with Madam Sun's words and said, "Madam is right, but we should still ask Linlang for her opinion."

Ever since his daughter became more and more favored in the palace, Master Sun felt that his daughter was quite capable, so he liked to listen to Linlang's opinions on some matters.

Madam Sun had no objection to Master Sun's proposal. She also thought Linlang was capable, so she was naturally willing to listen to her opinion.

Mr. Sun immediately wrote a letter to Linlang to tell her about this.

Linlang said that if the girl insisted on entering the palace, then let her come in. If her family didn't mention it and the girl didn't mention it either, then there was no need for her to enter the palace, in case she didn't want to, and it would be pointless to force her to enter the palace.

In fact, this is the opportunity that Linlang gives others to choose for themselves. If she doesn't want to harm her, then she should insist on not entering the palace. She doesn't have to worry that Master Sun Er will dare to threaten her with her family. As long as she tells this to Master Sun Da, Master Sun Er will not be able to threaten her.

However, if the girl wanted to enter the palace to harm her because she saw that Master Sun Er gave her a lot of money, she would not object. She could use this spy to give Master Sun Er some wrong instructions, so that they would not only fail to harm her, but also harm themselves. (End of this chapter)
