Chapter 234 Negotiations 1
The second lady was about to ask Zou Shi and Bao'er again.I heard crying from outside: "Grandmother, Qiniang has come to kowtow to you!"

Ever since Cen Qiniang was sent back to Longzhou, she has been kept in Shuixie to prepare for her marriage.It was released today.Everyone in the hall looked at the old lady in unison.

Old Madam Cen put down her chopsticks and smiled at San Niang: "You and the Duke will not stay for long, you sisters should see each other too. Ask Qiniang to come in."

The girl opened the curtain, and Cen Qiniang walked in with tears all over her face, she threw herself directly at the feet of Mrs. Cen, hugged her leg and cried, "Grandmother, Qiniang was wrong, Qiniang misses you so much!"

Old Madam Cen also had tears welling up in her eyes: "It's good to know that I was wrong. Grandma is also very distressed!"

This is to forgive her and never lock her up again.Cen Qiniang cried bitterly when she recalled the months of being locked up in the waterside pavilion, her life was worse than death.

The Fourth Madam has always loved Liuniang and Qiniang, and when she heard that the old lady was going to let Qiniang out, she left her seat crying to help Qiniang, yelling: "I miss my mother!"

The mother and daughter cried again.

There is no need to eat breakfast anymore.

Crying for a stick of incense, Mrs. Cen saw that Cen Sanniang didn't even have a word of persuasion, so she told Qiniang to stop crying and asked the girl to fetch water to wash everyone's faces.

Even the eldest wife, the second wife and the granddaughters-in-law took out their handkerchiefs to wipe away their tears, but Cen Sanniang sat leisurely beside her.

The old lady sighed again.Cen Sanniang didn't even pretend to be pretending anymore, and Zou took away the silver money and her daughter, maybe she really wanted to make up.

After putting on makeup and sitting down again, Mrs. Cen pointed at Sanniang and said, "Qiniang, Sanniang is here, you go and see her."

Cen Qiniang obediently agreed, walked to Cen Sanniang and bent her knees.

Cen Sanniang stood up and bowed to return the salute, looked Cen Qiniang up and down, and said with a smile: "Qiniang is getting more and more beautiful, my cousin really knows how to support people."

The old mother and the rough envoy were in charge, and they ate and slept when they called for food.After tossing and tossing for a month, Cen Qiniang was not willing to really seek death, so she naturally grew plump.

Cen Sanniang's compliment was like a slap, making Qiniang's face crunchy.

The masters of the Cen family in the hall all knew why Cen Qiniang was imprisoned for more than half a year.But he couldn't fault Cen Sanniang.They didn't say a word about wanting to elope and be locked up.

Cen Qiniang felt ashamed and angry, but she never thought she was wrong.It's just that fate is not as good as human beings.Thinking that Cen Sanniang is now the wife of Yipin Duogong, jealousy flashed in Cen Qiniang's eyes, she lowered her head and obediently stood beside the old lady.

Qiniang has been clever since she was a child, and her grandmother would not let her out for no reason.The eldest lady mentioned the second cousin's daughter-in-law, Zou Shi, in both inside and outside words.She scanned around the room, only seeing the panicked second aunt, she immediately flung herself into Old Madam Cen's arms and acted like a baby: "Grandmother, where is the second sister-in-law? The second sister-in-law takes care of her in Chang'an, and Qiniang wants to thank her face to face." And niece Bao, I embroidered a small cloak for her."

Only then did Madam Cen take up the topic: "Sanniang left her to live in the four-bedroom old house last night. Grandmother has asked your second brother to pick her up and Bao'er back."

Does this mean that Sanniang detained Zou's mother and daughter and refused to let them go?Qiniang asked Sanniang curiously: "Why didn't the second sister-in-law come back with you?"

Cen Sanniang said softly: "My aunt wants to reconcile with my second cousin, please let me talk about it."

Qiniang jumped three feet high, pointed at Cen Sanniang and shouted: "My second brother and second sister-in-law are so good, how could they want to divorce my second brother? I don't believe it! Grandma, I'm going to pick up my second sister-in-law!"

The second lady was also startled, she stood up and said, "This, this... San Niang, how could this happen?"

When the old lady Cen heard the soft words, she looked at the second lady with hatred.The eldest lady always knew the old lady's thoughts best, and said angrily: "Sanniang, yesterday Zou was very happy to bring Bao'er to visit you, but you forced her to stay for one night, why did she want to marry her today?" Erlang and Li? Come on, go to Sifang to pick up Zou's mother and daughter, and make it clear in public!"

He went happily, but was forced to stay by himself, saying that Mrs. Zou wanted to reconcile.The meaning behind the words is to suspect that Zou was forced.

Cen Sanniang understood that she wanted to trick Zou's mother and daughter back first.Mrs. Zou entered the three-bedroom mansion, and she was his wife before leaving.After all, he is not her close relative, so it is impossible to bring guards into the house to rob people.

She lamented that Yuanwai Zou was old-fashioned.He even wrote the certificate to himself.

"Grandmother. Mrs. Zou doesn't want to live with Erlang anymore, and wants to go away with Lijia..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Niang's angry voice from outside: "She is the daughter-in-law of the third room, and you are the girl of the fourth room. Why do you meddle in the housework of the next room!"

Ouch, all the backers who can be moved have been moved out.Mrs. Cen probably thought that Prince Teng had really fallen out with the Duke's mansion.This is in the boundary of Longzhou, but Du Guogong's mansion is in Chang'an.I want a strong dragon that doesn't overwhelm the local snake.

Until now, the troublemakers are Qiniang, the second wife and the eldest lady, and Liuniang who is entering the door.Mrs. Cen hasn't planned to play yet.

Cen Sanniang looked at Liu Niang, who was dressed in a concubine-level make-up and gorgeous dress, came in with a nanny and a lady officer, stood up, bent her knees, and stood up straight.

Bend knees is to respect the face of the emperor's family.According to the rank, the prince's side concubine is only the second rank.

When Cen Sanniang came to the ceremony, she stood up straight before Cen Liuniang called out.

Cen Liuniang entered the room, helped Mrs. Cen up, sat on the chair opposite the old lady, and said proudly: "Come on, go and bring the Zou mother and daughter back!"

Relying on the power of Prince Teng's mansion, you want to pick up Zou's mother and daughter?Cen Sanniang smiled, picked up the teacup, and blew on the white mist from the mouth of the cup. The sound was not loud enough for everyone to hear clearly: "The water poured out by a married daughter. I don't understand. Is it the turn of someone else's concubine to take care of the family affairs?"

Someone else's concubine!

The whole hall was dumbfounded.

The noble prince's side concubine, who was given the imperial family's jade certificate, became someone else's concubine in her mouth.

The girl from the Cen family married into someone else's family as a concubine, and came back to take care of the Cen family's affairs... If word got out, would the Cen family still lose face?
Cen Liuniang was so angry that the gold ornaments on her head rustled without any wind.

Haven't waited for her to attack.Cen Sanniang took a sip of tea and said: "I was entrusted by my relatives' old master to discuss with the Cen family about the Zou family's desire to reconcile and leave. Grandmother, the family ugliness should not be publicized. Do you think outsiders should avoid it?"

outsider?Cen Liuniang stood up and pointed at Cen Sanniang's nose, "Who is an outsider? Tell me clearly!"

"The side concubine still thinks that she is from the Cen family. The lord divorced you back?" The words were addressed to Cen Liuniang, but Cen Sanniang's eyes were fixed on the maid who came to serve in the palace.

Get married and obey your husband.Cen Liuniang was included in the imperial family's jade certificate, so she was no longer part of the Cen family.

Cen Liuniang was furious and slapped her across the face.

I know her mindless temper.Cen Sanniang had been on guard for a long time, she turned sideways lightly and deftly, and the slap missed.Cen Liuniang exerted too much force, staggered and almost fell.

Cen Sanniang was still angry with her: "The side concubine sneaked out of the palace to tease the Duke's wife, so I dare not let you slap me. We are cousins ​​anyway. If you slap me, my Duke's father will not miss it again." I want to ask the prince for a certificate of life and death, and then discuss justice with the prince. Our married women can't help their own men in major matters, and they can't drag men back, can they?"

If the side concubine really slapped Madam Du.Du Guogong might kick his prince into the lake again.The nanny coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the old lady. The old lady is fine, so you can go home with peace of mind."

It turned out that it was the palace that came out under the banner of Mrs. Cen's health.Cen Sanniang pretended to be surprised: "Grandmother Tang, you got up so late this morning, so you are not feeling well. You are old, so you have to take care of yourself. The second cousin sent you to Youzhou, thousands of miles away, and you can't go to the hall. As a filial piety, I am afraid that I will die from worry."

When mentioning the second master who was dispatched to Youzhou, the second wife burst into tears.

This dead word bites hard.Madam Cen, who was watching from the sidelines, changed her expression.The second son worked as a clerk in the Youzhou Army, and was entirely under the care of Cen Sanniang's eldest uncle.What if I angered her and asked the second master to repair the city wall?Madam Cen regretted it again.Knowing that Du Guogong and King Teng had fallen out, Cen Sanniang would not be afraid of Cen Liuniang's status as a side concubine.Seeing that Cen Liuniang could not convince her, it was useless to stay.

The old lady said to Cen Liuniang: "Grandmother is just a little unwell, she is not sick. Good boy, it's all right if you have such filial piety. Now that you are married into the palace, you can go back to serve the prince. It is proper to give birth to an heir for him as soon as possible. thing."

Even grandma can't help it against Cen Sanniang.Both in and out of the words told her to get pregnant early and stabilize her position.Grandma is thinking about her.Cen Liuniang held back her anger, glanced at Cen Sanniang and said, "Grandmother, don't worry. The prince will not ignore what happened in Longzhou City."

To carry King Teng out to convince himself?Will King Teng take care of these messes in the back house?tell a joke!
Cen Sanniang made a sudden realization: "Your Majesty has a bad temper today. Is it because you are pregnant? I will ask God to bless you to have a daughter. The princess has no children. If you give birth to a son, the princess will definitely feel uncomfortable. It will definitely be a daughter." !"

"Cen Sanniang!" Liuniang was furious, and the veins on her forehead stood out.

"I'm doing it for your own good. If you're pregnant, take good care of it and run around in case... Oh, bah, bah, bah bah, Tong Yan Wuji! Tong Yan Wuji!" Cen Sanniang gave Liu Niang a provocative look. , a look that if you don't leave, you will be at a disadvantage if I am mad at you.
