Chapter 231 Undercurrent surging (1)
"What? You said that the regent and the emperor are admiring the lotus in the lotus girl's yard?" Mrs. Wen sat up from the soft couch when she heard Mammy's words, and asked in surprise.

"Yes, old lady."

"What's going on, tell me quickly." Why did the emperor and the regent come to the mansion suddenly, and the masters are not here, and they haven't come back yet.Today was the day when the second daughter-in-law held a banquet for Lian girl. She felt that the second family held the banquet too grandly, so she was unhappy and didn't show up.Why did the emperor and His Highness come?

The nanny told the old lady what happened in the front yard and Qinghe courtyard carefully.

"What? Miss Lian's veil was ripped off by the county lord of Jinling. Girl Lian really looks heavenly and beautiful, overwhelming the country? Can you see that?" Mrs. Wen seemed to be disbelieving in her tone, and couldn't see it on her face. Feeling a little happy, but a little worried.

Momo quietly glanced at the old lady and said: "This old slave didn't see it, but I just heard that it is true from the servants present."

"Well, why is this? Isn't it because you are ugly that you wear a veil all the time?" Mrs. Wen murmured in a low voice, before raising her head and asking, "How is it compared to my concubine?"

Mammy showed a troubled look, a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything to hide in front of me?" Mrs. Wen said slightly annoyed.

Mammy sighed silently, bowed her head and said: "Miss Pei from Weiliehou's Mansion is no match for Miss Third." Let alone Miss Fourth.If the fourth miss stood beside the third miss, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be qualified to be a foil.

"Is this the truth? Lian girl is really - is she really so beautiful? Even Pei Xuerou from Wei Liehou's Mansion can't compare? How could this be?" Mrs. Wen murmured to herself in a daze.

Seeing this, Mammy bowed her head and stepped back. The old lady probably needs time to accept this fact.The old lady had so many granddaughters, but the old lady only valued the fourth lady, as if only the fourth lady was her own granddaughter.No matter if it was Miss Jingya from the eldest room, Jing Yu from the third room who was dead, or the third lady Wen Lian who had just returned home, none of them could compare to the status of the fourth lady in the old lady's heart.

In fact, not only the little masters in the mansion don't understand what the old lady is thinking, even their servants who have been serving them closely for so many years don't understand, why does the old lady only favor a concubine daughter?The old lady herself was also a concubine daughter when she was young and unmarried, why did she become so old that her grandson doted on a concubine instead?Is it because Aunt Cui is her own niece?

But this reason is a bit too far-fetched, but apart from this reason, there is no other more convincing reason.

The only one who knows the real reason is Nanny Han who accompanied the old lady to marry from her natal family, but Nanny Han has such a strong mouth that no one else can pry a word out of her mouth.

Thinking of this, Nanny shook her head, exited the Gospel Hall, and met Nanny Han who had just returned at the door.

"Sister Han, go in and accompany the old lady. After hearing about the third lady, the old lady may be making a fuss in her heart."

Nanny Han nodded silently, opened the curtain and walked in.

"Old lady."

Mrs. Wen sighed with a complicated expression: "I used to try my best to give Qiushuang the best, and wanted her to be the hostess of this mansion, but in the end I could only wrong her to be an ordinary woman. Concubine. After my concubine was born, I thought that although she could not become a concubine, I could give her everything that a concubine has, so that she can live like a concubine even if she was born as a concubine. But..."
