Chapter 952 The Best Family 79
As for Wang Dani who has been imprisoned, Master Sun Er has no way to ask Wang Dani to help them for the time being, and can only wait. There is still a long time to go, so there is no need to rush. To be honest, his daughter is too anxious. She has only been imprisoned for a month, but she is already in a hurry to ask him to help solve the problem. In fact, there is no need to solve it, just wait for a month.

At that moment, Master Sun Er went back and told his daughter to just wait and not to be anxious.

Of course, he would not say that he had gone to see Master Sun but had returned empty-handed, so as not to lower his prestige in his daughter's heart and let Cousin Sun think that he had always thought so, and not that he had done the job but failed.

Sure enough, after receiving the letter from Master Sun Er, Cousin Sun thought that Master Sun Er was not in a hurry, so she could only continue to wait.

As for Concubine Li, she could only find a way to make amends for her, lest Concubine Li be unhappy about the person she sent, who was locked up as soon as he entered the palace and was of no use, and would dislike her in the future.

Not only did she not get Wang Dani out, on the contrary, she also wanted the first wife's family to continue to prosper - not long after, the emperor bestowed titles on the people of the first wife and assigned jobs to Sun Linlang's two brothers. Although they were all ninth-rank jobs like the eldest master Sun in the past, at least they had something to do and became officials, not just commoners.

This was naturally the result of Linlang's hint to the emperor. After all, now although she basically didn't need to spend money to flip the cards, the emperor would automatically find her, but it was basically impossible for him to take the initiative to arrange tasks for her family, because the emperor didn't like her to that extent, so naturally he needed her to hint.

She saw that her two brothers had learned well after so many years of study. They had also grown a few years older and had gained more experience, becoming more mature and stable. That was why the emperor sent them on this mission.

If her two brothers were not the kind of people who could be helped up, she would certainly not let the emperor assign them tasks, lest it turn out to be a bad thing, and if the two of them committed crimes in the future, it would become a bad thing.

The reason why Linlang gave all these benefits to her original family was naturally to make them prosperous, to suppress the second branch, and to punish the second branch for being ungrateful when they thought the first branch was useless and drove people away.

Sure enough, even the eldest and second brothers of the first house had jobs, which was a fatal blow to the second house. After all, although Master Sun Er became an official, none of his sons became officials thanks to him. Now they are all poor and are still studying, hoping to take the imperial examinations like Master Sun Er and become officials in the future.

However, their lives have been getting better and better in recent years, and their will has long been worn out. How can they be willing to study hard? This is human nature. When people's lives are good, they just want to live a good life and it is difficult for them to endure hardships.

Since they didn't want to study, and seeing that the eldest and second brothers of the main house had things to do but they didn't, they naturally started to make a fuss. They immediately told Master Sun Er that they should let their sister help out in the palace and also let their sister speak to the emperor to give them some official positions.

After hearing his sons' words, Master Sun Er wanted to slap them. With the status of a sixth-rank official, how could his cousin Sun be qualified to ask the emperor to let them become officials?

Besides, how did his daughter get this sixth-rank Baolin? Others may not know, but doesn't he? The emperor didn't give it to her on his own initiative. He asked his cousin Sun to marry Concubine Li. Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, and she was happy. She told the emperor about it. The emperor gave it to Concubine Li for her sake.

The emperor might not even know who Sun's cousin was. She was not favored at all. How could she tell the emperor to give work to the second wife? Wasn't this a joke? So Mr. Sun Er explained the situation to his sons.

Because this was because of cousin Sun's poor conduct, and had nothing to do with Master Sun Er, Master Sun Er was not afraid to make the real situation clear.

After explaining the situation clearly, Master Sun Er's sons couldn't help but complain about how their cousin Sun was doing. The eldest wife, Sun Linlang, was rising step by step, but how come she had only been promoted once in such a long time since she entered the palace?

——If cousin Sun heard their complaints, she might slap them, saying that she was not doing well. As for them, the conditions for studying are getting better and better. How come they are grown up but can't even pass the exam to become a scholar, and they only know how to blame her?

Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun on the side did not let Master Sun II reconcile with the first wife this time. The reason was naturally very simple - the experiences of the previous two visits to the first wife were too bad. Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun obviously knew that it would be difficult for the first and second wives to reconcile. Since it was difficult, they naturally would not persuade Master Sun II to go to the first wife's house to apologize and resolve the conflict. After all, if it couldn't be resolved at all, what was the point of resolving it?

Master Sun Er was pleased to see that the old couple did not mention reconciliation with the first wife this time. If he had been so humble to the first wife as last time and the first wife did not accept it, and the old couple still asked him to continue to apologize to the first wife, he would have been really angry.

Although the old couple did not mention reconciliation, they were thinking in their hearts that the first wife was becoming more and more prosperous, and they didn't know what to do to make them forgive the second wife. Otherwise, if things continued like this, the second wife would be completely surpassed by the first wife.

Alas, I never expected that the most promising person in my family is actually the granddaughter of the eldest wife, not the youngest son.

They thought that the youngest son was already extremely outstanding. After all, since the youngest son passed the examination for a scholar, especially a juren jinshi, many people envied him. Unexpectedly, the youngest son passed the examination for a jinshi and became an official. It was nothing at all. The maid of the first room could actually become a favorite concubine! Let the first room be more prosperous than the second room!

They had only heard about the girl becoming a favorite concubine and leading her whole family to prosperity from storytellers before. They had never thought that such a thing could happen in their own family. No wonder they could not have guessed such a development.

After all, it is more or less possible to imagine that one's son can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, but most people would not dream of their daughter becoming a favorite concubine.

As a result, the dream that they would never have actually happened. How could the old couple not be moved? Thinking about it was really something they could never have imagined.

If they knew that the granddaughter of the eldest wife was so capable, they would never let the second wife drive the eldest wife away. If they hadn't driven her away, Linlang would have become a favorite concubine, and the younger son would have been a Jinshi. With the blessing of this favorite concubine, he would have had a very good life. It's not like now, the eldest son has not passed the imperial examination, so even if Linlang is a favorite concubine, the rewards she can get are ultimately limited. This is because Master Sun Er didn't want the old couple to think that the eldest wife was superior and affect his prestige and status in front of the old couple, so he told them that since Master Sun Da had not passed the imperial examination, the emperor would not give him too high an official position, in order to prevent an illiterate person from occupying a high position and affecting the country.
