Prosperous advisors

Chapter 5
The situation of the Mu family was a bit complicated. Mu Yunrong and Mu Ling's mother, Sun, was originally Mu Changming's personal maid.Growing up with Mu Changming, childhood sweethearts naturally have different feelings.After Mu Changming got married, he took her as his concubine.Mrs. Mu had no children for many years, but this Sun family had daughters and sons one after another, so her status in the mansion was naturally rising day by day.After the eldest daughter Mu Feiluan entered the palace as a concubine, her application speed was almost the same as that of the main wife.It wasn't until after Mrs. Mu passed away that the Sun family was promoted by Mu Changming as his equal wife, so everyone in the mansion regarded Mu Yunrong and Mu Ling as their sons and daughters.

However, Huaguo has always had complicated etiquette and strict etiquette.The marriage system is also extremely strict. For example, the rule that concubines cannot be wives is almost an iron rule.Not only common people, dignitaries and dignitaries are not allowed to take concubines as wives, even emperors are not allowed to favor concubines as queens.Even if the queen dies, she can only marry another queen.Therefore, in Su Chenghou's mansion, although Sun has the name of a flat wife, even Su Chenghou and the soft concubine in the palace dare not ask for Sun's title.The deceased Mrs. Mu was Mrs. Chao Yipin Hou. After her death, I don't know what kind of mentality the emperor had.It is one level higher than Su Chenghou's grade.Originally, if Marquis Su Cheng married a stepmother, according to the rule that the rank of stepmother should not be higher than that of the original wife, the stepmother could also be conferred the title of first-rank wife, but now Mrs. Sun has nothing.In the eyes of outsiders, she is still just a concubine, at most she is more senior than ordinary concubines, and many high-end banquets in the capital still do not have her share.It is precisely because of this that even after Mrs. Mu passed away these years, Mrs. Mu never handed over the power of the mansion to Mrs. Sun.As for the name of the so-called Ping Wife, the court officials didn't pay much attention to it because of Ning Wang Rou Concubine and Ping Nanjun King's face.

Mu Changming himself dotes on the Sun family, and even vaguely claims to be affectionate and righteous.But it doesn't mean that he is willing to let outsiders scold him for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, even though Mrs. Mu has been dead for many years.

"Qingyi, who taught you these words?" Mu Changming said in a deep voice.Although his daughter doesn't care, Mu Changming still understands a little bit.With Mu Qingyi's mind, she would never be able to say such a thing, otherwise she wouldn't have fought against herself for Gu... Wanyun a few days ago.

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "My daughter dreamed about my mother last night, and my mother scolded her for being a legitimate daughter who didn't know how to love and respect herself. It's better to go with mother. Daughter... Daughter doesn't want to die..."

"Nonsense, why die well?" Mu Changming reprimanded for a moment with a strange flash on his face.

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and bowed her head in silence.

Seeing her standing there respectfully, Mu Changming couldn't help but feel a little guilty about her thin figure and pale face.Sighing: "You are in good health, go back and have a good rest. Go back... go back and change to another yard. Yunrong, you are disrespectful to your daughter-in-law. You go to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days, and you are only allowed to drink a bowl of clean water every day. Do you understand? "

"I……"

"Father……"

Mu Yunrong and Mu Ling naturally disagreed, and when they were about to argue, they were stared back by Mu Changming's sharp eyes, so they gritted their teeth and shut their mouths, not daring to speak again.

"Master Hou, what's the matter?" Mu Changming was about to say goodbye when Sun's voice came from not far away.Hearing their mother's voice, both Mu Yunrong and Mu Ling could not help but flash a hint of joy in their eyes.

Seeing their mother's arrival, both Mu Yunrong and Mu Ling's faces flashed with joy.Mu Yunrong even proudly raised her chin and glanced at Mu Qingyi, who responded indifferently as if she didn't care at all.

Mu Changming frowned when he saw Mrs. Sun coming in a hurry and said, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

Sun glanced at her daughter's blushing pretty face, and said with some resentment: "Master Hou, even if Yunrong did something wrong, you can just punish her, how can you slap her in the face. What a face the girl has! Important, if this is seen by outsiders..."

Mu Yunrong also threw herself into Sun's arms, sobbing and crying, "Mother, my daughter is so wronged..."

Seeing his wife's red eyes, wanting to talk and her daughter sobbing in pain, Mu Changming's face flashed with embarrassment and reluctance.But he had just punished Mu Yunrong just now, and he couldn't go back and say no punishment.Beside, Mu Qingyi took a step forward and said calmly, "Auntie, it wasn't my father who hit my third sister, but me."

"Auntie" made Sun stunned for a moment.Ever since Mu Qingyi's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, passed away, the relationship between Mu Qingyi and everyone in the Hou Mansion has been a little cold.But Mu Qingyi was cowardly by nature, and Sun didn't take her seriously.We met on weekdays, although Mu Qingyi refused to call her mother, occasionally she would call her madam.But he didn't want to become an aunt again now, and...Mu Qingyi dared to hit Yunrong?

Mu Qingyi didn't dodge Sun's sizing eyes.He just said indifferently: "Auntie, please don't blame father, I beat the third sister. Besides, Qing Yi, as the concubine's daughter of Suchenghou's mansion, should be qualified to discipline a concubine who doesn't respect her mother. Aunt Sun, what do you say?" Yes or no?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Sun's face, if Mu Qingyi called her aunt, there was still such a hint of respect.This call from Aunt Sun was directly equivalent to relegating her to the status of a servant.For the prostitute, the concubine's room is indeed half a servant.Did she even ask her?What can she say?Say no?
After a long while, Mrs. Sun finally came to her senses.Looking at Mu Qingyi, she forced a smile and said, "What Yi'er said is... If Rong'er has made Yi'er angry in any way, Auntie will apologize to you on her behalf. For the sake of being close relatives, please forgive me." Let her. Rong'er, why don't you apologize to your fourth sister?"

Mu Qingyi smiled coldly in her heart, and said lightly: "Aunt Sun is serious, mother is gone, and grandmother is old, so it's okay for Qingyi to share one or two for grandmother and father." After hearing her words, Sun's heart trembled. Tight, staring at Mu Qingyi vigilantly: Does this girl want to seize power?

Hua Guo has a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. If Mrs. Mu does not take power, she can indeed be in charge of the Suchenghou Mansion before Mu Qingyi is married.It's just that Mu Qingyi was originally cowardly and taciturn, and the Sun family never took her seriously.Not to mention that it was impossible for Mu Qingyi to fight, even if the Mu family was in her hands, she might not be able to take care of it.But now, Mrs. Sun instinctively felt a hint of danger.I couldn't help but resent the daughter in the palace and Mu Changming. If she hadn't had an official title, how could she be in a dilemma by this girl?No matter how many schemes she has, as long as Mu Qingyi reveals her identity, she can only fall to the bottom.

Seeing the confrontation between his daughter and his wife, Mu Changming frowned impatiently, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Yun Rong disrespected his aunt and punished him by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. No one is allowed to intercede! Qingyi, you just recovered from a serious illness , go back to your own yard and have a good rest. If you want to eat, you can ask someone to tell you... Auntie just tell you." Mu Changming originally wanted to talk about his mother, but his daughter had just emphasized the distinction between concubine and concubine. I can only talk about my aunt, anyway, Mu Qingyi never called Sun's mother, and Mu Changming didn't care.The face of Sun who was standing next to her changed, and her originally delicate and soft face also turned slightly ferocious.
