Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

After Master Sun Da came to announce the good news as usual, Master Sun Er's mind was completely confused.

He was still counting on Imperial Concubine Li to cause trouble for Linlang, but why did Imperial Concubine Li fail to do so, and the beautiful newcomer sent by the Wang family this year also failed to do so, but Sun Linlang was promoted again? And became an Imperial Concubine?

The Wang family sent many girls into the palace this year, and they were all said to be very beautiful. In addition, Concubine Wang pretended to be sick and tried to seize the emperor, but failed, which led to her being put in solitary confinement. Master Sun Er had been paying attention to the situation in the palace, so he naturally found out all about it. As soon as he saw Concubine Wang's actions, Master Sun Er knew that it was probably instigated by Concubine Li, who wanted to deal with Linlang but failed.

After that, he kept an eye on the movements of the Wang family's group of beauties and Concubine Li, but there was no movement. He cursed Concubine Li countless times and felt that Concubine Li was too useless as she had not been able to deal with Linlang.

Given her status in the palace and her family's status, it would be easy for her to get rid of Sun Linlang, who had no background. How could she do this for so long without any result, and finally let Sun Linlang be promoted to the same level as her? Isn't this too incompetent? Too incompetent.

Master Sun Er naturally didn't think about it. Didn't he always try to deal with Lin Lang? Didn't he always fail? He himself didn't succeed, so what qualifications did he have to say that Concubine Li was useless?

Of course, Master Sun Er would definitely not reflect on his own shortcomings. After all, in his opinion, his own resources were not at the same level as those of Concubine Li and her family. It was normal that he did not succeed, but it was a bit ridiculous that Concubine Li and the Wang family did not succeed.

Now that Linlang has become a royal concubine, she is already the number one person in the palace and is obviously extremely favored.

Moreover, according to the emperor's previous favors to Concubine Li's family, the first wife was very likely to be conferred the title of viscount. After all, Linlang was as favored as Concubine Li, so the rewards she received would certainly not be worse than Concubine Li's.

When he thought that the first wife would have a title, and that Sun Dalang, the first wife's son, would be able to inherit the title, unlike his own son who was a commoner, and especially when he thought of the rank of viscount - in this dynasty, viscount was the fourth rank - which would allow the first wife to enter the upper-middle class circles in the capital, Master Sun Er was going crazy.

After all, the person you drove away is doing much better than you. Who can stand that?

What was even more unbearable was that the old couple, who had not mentioned reconciliation for a long time, started talking about it again when they heard that Sun Linlang had become a royal concubine.

But Master Sun Er knew that this was just the beginning. When the first wife really got the title as he wished, the old couple would definitely clamor for him to reconcile with the first wife.

Actually, if the first wife had not been unwilling to reconcile, he would have wanted to reconcile by now. After all, Sun Linlang was doing too well, and he was envious of her. Given Linlang's current favor, if he could say a word in front of the emperor, it would not be a problem for him to be promoted to a third or fourth rank official. When he thought about the fact that he could suddenly become a third or fourth rank official, Master Sun II wanted to reconcile.

Of course, the main reason was that Master Sun Er saw that he could not get rid of Linlang no matter what. On the contrary, Linlang was getting better and better. So he finally wanted to reconcile with the first wife. It was not like last time when he pretended to reconcile with the first wife in order to plot against her. This was a real reconciliation.

It just so happened that Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun had been persuading them to do this, so he planned to take advantage of the situation and say that they were filial and listened to the old couple and made peace with the eldest wife. This way, he could take the initiative to make peace with the eldest wife and not lose face. But... it was useless if he was willing, and there was no way to reconcile if the eldest wife was unwilling.

So when Master Sun Er saw the old couple persuading him to reconcile with the first wife, he said helplessly: "I wanted to reconcile last time, but the first wife didn't want to reconcile with me. They weren't doing as well as they are now, and it was impossible. What's more, they are doing so well now. If we want to reconcile, I'm afraid it will be even more impossible. After all, they may think that we want to reconcile because we see them doing well."

Although this is indeed the case, he doesn't want to admit it.

Mr. Sun Er's worry was not without reason. After listening to it, Mr. Sun pondered for a while and said, "No matter what, we have to give it a try. So, let's go and test the waters first. If there is hope, you can go again. Otherwise, they may have a problem with you now and be unwilling to reconcile as soon as they see you."

When Master Sun Er saw that Grandpa Sun and Madam Sun said that he didn't need to go now, but they should go and sound out the situation first, he nodded and agreed.

If reconciliation were really possible, he would naturally be willing to do so. He really coveted the benefits that came with being a favored concubine.

So just like Linlang thought, now that Master Sun Er was not mad at Linlang for being promoted to Imperial Concubine, he instigated Cousin Sun and Wang Dani to deal with Linlang. Firstly, she had become Imperial Concubine, and their power was too small to deal with her; secondly, Master Sun Er had not given up yet, and wanted to use Linlang to gain benefits, so he did not let the two deal with Linlang for the time being. If the first wife was unwilling to reconcile, he would give up, and I am afraid he would continue to find ways to deal with Linlang.

Is the eldest wife willing to reconcile? How is that possible!

Seeing that Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun came to the house and brought up the old things, trying to reconcile, just because Linlang was made a concubine, everyone in the first house, who was in high spirits, couldn't help but sneer, thinking, the old couple had made promises to the first house before, saying that if the second house became prosperous, they would let them enjoy the good life, why didn't they listen to the old couple and let them enjoy the good life, but instead drove them out, now that Linlang became prosperous, they listened to the old couple? They were making fun of them.

Besides, if the second wife wants to listen to the old couple and make peace with them, will they accept it? They are doing so well now, why should they make peace with them? If they make peace with them, the second wife can get benefits under the banner of Linlang. Are they stupid? After being treated like that by them, they still want the second wife to get benefits?

So he immediately rejected Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun's request to reconcile with the second house.

Although they rejected Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun's request to reconcile with the second wife, they did not drive the old couple away, for fear that they would be caught and attacked for being unfilial, which would eventually implicate Linlang.

Anyway, the family is rich now, so even if the old couple lives at home, they can still easily afford to feed them. So if they don't leave, they can just stay here.

Although they had signed a contract when they split up the family, saying that the second wife had better conditions and they would live with her in the future, they were now living with the first wife, violating the contract, but the first wife didn't care. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble. Anyway, they can afford to feed them now, so there is really no need to care so much, lest there be a commotion, and if those who are interested find out, it will be bad. (End of this chapter)
