Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 343 Entering the Mansion (1)
Mrs. Qi Guogong's face froze, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Lu smiled and said: "I just didn't understand, so I asked you, please clarify."

Mrs. Qi Guogong's face became strange, and after a while, she said: "Our sister will come to your house sooner or later, and the two families will be a family from now on."

Yuan Lu seemed to have heard something funny, and suddenly laughed, making Mrs. Qi Guogong, the old lady and Qiu Xiu all look at her.After laughing for a while, Yuan Lu patted her chest and said: "Madam's words are really interesting, the embroidered girl in the mansion is indeed going to come into our mansion, but I have never heard of any mansion that regards the concubine's mother's family as a family. Speaking of which, among the officials big and small in the capital, which family does not have a few concubines, could it be that there is an extra Yue family?"

Mrs. Qi Guogong's face was livid, as if she was trying her best to suppress her anger.

The old lady was a little at a loss when she saw it, and turned to look at Yuan Lu.

Yuan Lu didn't panic, and took two sips of tea.

The atmosphere was embarrassing, Mrs. Qi Guogong was trampled on so shamelessly, and she was too embarrassed to stay there with a shy face, so she just took Qiu Xiu back.

As soon as she left, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.Although she and Mrs. Qi Guogong are friends who have been in touch for many years, they are just the daily pleasantries on the scene.The last time we met was when I entered the palace on the first day of the new year.

"Will it be bad for us to do this?" The old lady was still a little worried.

Yuan Lu said: "It's okay. Now they are begging to marry their daughters to our family, not our family insisting on their daughters. Although our Duke was once a subordinate of Duke Qi, the status of the two governments is equal, and now they are one They are located in the central army and one in the rear army. Two positions that cannot be easily achieved. Moreover, Qi Guogong was placed in the position of governor of the northern army this time. The center of gravity has to be shifted accordingly. Although our Duke's official rank is half a rank lower than that of Duke Qi, if their family wants to travel in the capital in the future, they still have to rely on us, right?"

Although the old lady didn't know much about official ranks, she was a little confused. Anyway, she heard what Xiao Yuan meant, that Cheng Guogong's mansion no longer had to be afraid that they were Qi Guogong's mansion, so she felt at ease.

Gao Fei originally wanted to use this incident to warn Xiao Yuan not to be so arrogant in dealing with the outside world, but now hearing her "Our Lord" one by one, he lost his temper for a while.

After seeing off the uninvited guests, it's time for lunch.

The three children were also brought back to the house by the nanny just now, Yuan Lu asked someone to call, and then went to the kitchen to look at the dishes, and got busy.

Gao Fei sat down with her mother and chatted.

As if remembering something, the old lady glanced at the door furtively, then asked her son in a low voice, "Did you see that girl who came here just now?"

Gao Fei nodded noncommittally.

The old lady continued talking to herself: "I look good, but I don't know my temper. The last time I went to the Huguo Temple outside the city to burn incense, I happened to meet her, and she came up to talk to me. He loves to laugh, so he probably has a good temper."

Gao Fei couldn't figure out what her mother was going to say, so he just listened to her babbling for a while.

The old lady praised Qiu Xiu from the beginning to the end, and suddenly changed the topic, "It's a good thing for a concubine to be beautiful and gentle, but for a wife, she should be dignified and steady. The two should not be confused..."

...The reason why she took a big turn with her mother was to remind him that Qiu Xiu may be beautiful and gentle.Yuan Lu has a tougher temper, but, you can't just neglect your first wife and let the concubine's room get ahead of you just because of this.
