It was difficult for the third lady to show up today, but she was afraid that Yuan Miaoyi would not be able to cope with it, so she asked her second daughter-in-law to go with Yuan Miaoyi.
After hearing Xiao Yunyue say that he wanted to send Yuan Miaoyi there, the third lady specially arranged an extra carriage for the second grandmother to ride in one alone.
The Duan family had also received news that Princess Jinyang's only son and his newlywed wife had arrived in Qingzhou, but they were not prepared for the newly appointed Madam Hou to visit the Duan family so soon.
In the past, whenever someone from the Xiao family came to visit, Mrs. Duan would say that she was ill and could not have a shower or see anyone. The third wife came to the house several times and could only see Second Grandma Duan.
It is naturally not easy for elders to say certain things to younger people, so this matter is still pending.
The caring servants of the third wife of the Xiao family were privately very dissatisfied with Mrs. Duan, and secretly ridiculed her, saying: "Those who don't know better think she is the one who is being given a confinement!"
Mrs. Duan may have known that this matter would be detrimental to her reputation, but for a while she couldn't think of any other better idea to delay the matter.
Grandma Duan followed her mother-in-law's advice and came forward, but she was also full of complaints in her heart. What's the point of asking her, the sister-in-law, to stop the trouble caused by the eldest brother-in-law?
She had to listen to her mother-in-law. Mistress Duan always urged her husband to find a solution every time he was in her courtyard, but Master Duan did not dare to go against his own mother.
Compared to Mrs. Duan who dotes on her eldest son and has not yet truly felt the seriousness of the matter, the second wife of the Duan family is actually very worried about this matter. Since there are people from Beijing specially coming, it proves that the Xiao family members are not as indifferent to each other as Mrs. Duan thought, and they only interact with each other during the holidays.
If Princess Jinyang and Marquis Pingyang just want to take a breath for Xiao Liuhua, can a family like the Duan family, which has begun to gradually decline, really withstand the anger of the Xiao family at the height of their power?
But no matter how worried and dissatisfied she was, Mrs. Pingyang Hou came to visit today, and Mistress Duan must treat her well.
The Xiao family's carriage arrived at the Duan Mansion. When Mistress Duan got the news and went out, she happened to see a man with a figure as tall as a famous sword, wearing a black round-neck robe and a goldfish bag hanging around his waist, carefully helping him from the carriage. A young lady fell down.
Second Grandma Duan's heart trembled. This man didn't want to be anything other than Marquis Pingyang, so the woman he helped down must be his newlywed wife, the second wife of the Yuan family.
It is said that Marquis Pingyang has a very good relationship with his wife and loves her very much. Just by looking at the scene just now, Mistress Duan knew that it was not groundless.
Xiao Yunyue didn't care about other people's opinions. He stroked Yuan Miaoyi's hair beside her ears and said, "I'll pick you up when it's over."
Seeing Yuan Miaoyi nodded, Xiao Yunyue glanced at the Duan family who came out from behind and said to Yuan Miaoyi: "If someone bullies you, you must tell me when you come back."
Yuan Miaoyi was a little bit dumbfounded. No one could bully her when she was in the room, let alone now, but she still patted Xiao Yunyue's hand gently to reassure him.
Second Mistress Xiao, who got off the carriage at the back, had long been used to the newlywed couple's annoyance, so she just pretended that she didn't see them and came over to say hello to Second Mistress Duan.
After Xiao Liuhua's accident, Mistress Xiao and Mistress Duan had not met yet, but they were still in-laws in the past, so the two still had some friendship.
Second Grandma Xiao could tell at a glance that Second Grandma Duan was stiff and uncomfortable under her smile, but she was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, so she still had to make her position clear.
After sending Xiao Yunyue away, Yuan Miaoyi turned around and talked to Second Grandma Duan. Different from the gentle and polite appearance in the Xiao family, Yuan Miaoyi's etiquette is still the same, but there is a cold smile on the lips of her face.
Today, Yuan Miaoyi specifically asked Grandma Cui to give her a bun that she rarely did in the past. After all, people always respect clothes first and then respect others, so she couldn't dress up as casually as usual.
The red gold crown on her bun is inlaid with turquoise, with white jade hairpins and emerald tassels on both sides. This dress alone looks very impressive.
Second Grandma Duan looked at the peacock brocade skirt Yuan Miaoyi was wearing. The clouds in her arms glowed softly in the sunlight. This outfit alone cost no less than a hundred gold.
Money is secondary, but the most important thing is that Yuan Miaoyi cannot afford it without a certain status.
Second Grandma Duan only felt that Yuan Miaoyi was not arrogant when talking to her, and her tone was very polite. But she didn't have the bearing of a newly married daughter-in-law at all. Even when she was smiling and talking, Second Grandma Duan felt that her own bearing was outweighed by hers.
After all, she was a noblewoman from a high family in Shengjing. Second Grandma Duan's heart suddenly lifted, and she secretly reminded herself to be more careful when she spoke later.
After arriving at the small flower hall where the Duan family entertained guests, several people sat down separately as the guest of honor. After Mrs. Duan asked the maid to serve tea, she asked, "I wonder why Madam Pingyang Hou came to the house suddenly today?"
Yuan Miaoyi was picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea. Her manners were very graceful. Second Grandma Duan also came from a famous family, but Yuan Miaoyi's demeanor and manners could not be imitated.
"Of course it's about my cousin." Yuan Miaoyi gently put down the tea cup. In the overly quiet flower hall, only a soft sound of the tea cup being placed on the table could be heard, and Yuan Miaoyi turned around. When you turn your head, there is a crisp sound when the tassels on the temples collide lightly.
The smile on Yuan Miaoyi's lips remained unchanged as she said: "It is not a trivial matter for the Duan family to divorce their wives, but the eldest princess has a high status and cannot leave the capital. So as soon as she got the news, she immediately asked the young marquis and me to come to Qingzhou, thinking Ask the Duan family what they mean."
When the third lady came to the door a few days ago, she spoke very tactfully.
He just said that since the children of the two families can't live together, it's better to get divorced. In the future, they can still have some affection when meeting each other, so Mistress Duan can play Tai Chi with the third wife in a push.
But when Yuan Miaoyi came up, she directly pointed out that the Duan family wanted to divorce his wife. Second Mistress Duan didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer the question.
But after coming back to her senses, Second Grandma Duan immediately smiled and said: "Look what you said, what are you talking about? At home, I was just thinking about my sister-in-law's body, thinking that she had just lost her child, so maybe she could relax a little at her parents' house. , so she is allowed to take care of her and take care of her body in her mother's family. Our family has absolutely no intention of divorcing his wife."
Mistress Duan had received a signal from her mother-in-law that morning. Since the third wife of the Xiao family was so close to the eldest wife in Beijing, she could never divorce her.
Not only will he offend the eldest princess, but he will also have to rely on the Xiao family to help his son's career in the future.
After all, Mrs. Duan first softly proposed marriage to the Xiao family, and then forced her son to marry the Xiao family's daughter. At the beginning, she just took a fancy to the idea that the Xiao family's house might be able to help her family because of the relationship. ?
