Mu Huagui

Chapter 155 No Choice
The old lady nodded to the fourth wife, "Except for her, who can count the prince's aunt, the second young master, and our sixth lady, and make the princess willing to deal with her aftermath?" too harsh.Otherwise, she couldn't help but refuse Chen Fu's coercive request.

Now the concubine is clearly accusing the Chen family of not taking good care of the concubine, let alone agreeing that Miss Six will marry the second young master as his official wife.He could only comfort and say, "No matter what, I always entered the gate of the palace, and the concubine's room of the second young master is not something ordinary people can enter. I will subsidize 3000 taels of silver to Qilu myself. If I can please the princess after I enter the mansion , it may not be unsatisfactory."

"Grandmother." Chen Qilu couldn't believe her ears, although on the way back, she already knew that she had no choice but to marry the second young master.But the status of the main wife and the concubine's room is completely different, from the ideal to the reality, the gap is really too big, Chen Qilu couldn't accept it for a while.

"Mother." The fourth wife also looked at her aunt and mother-in-law eagerly. She loves herself the most, but also loves her two children.How can you not support them at this time.

"The old four's family, it's not your mother who said you, what kind of family is the palace. It's a concubine, and a concubine of the palace. It's more than enough for a regular wife to match a fifth-rank and sixth-rank official lady." The fourth master is just in charge of his own shop. Common people without fame or official status.

Before the family was not separated, everyone would not be able to separate it so clearly. Now that the family is separated, the fourth wife realizes that without the big tree of the Chen family, she is nothing.

Afterwards, the second wife even persuaded her, "Even if there is no such thing, what can Qilu do? Marrying a commoner is still a clerk in the yamen, working hard to manage the housework, and if things go wrong, she will use her dowry money to support her in-laws' family. It's better to enter the gate of the palace, so what about the second young master's concubine's room, it's not a big family, the prince is still young, life will not be too bad."

"A few days ago, there was a seventh-rank official who came to propose marriage for his son." The fourth wife murmured, her face dull, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Do you still have a choice now?" The Second Madam wished to wake her up. They all went to the Second Young Master's bed, and they sent them to the door by themselves. What's the use of talking about it now.

"It's all you. If you and your mother hadn't encouraged me secretly, how could I have sent my daughter to the palace." The fourth wife shed tears of remorse.

"If you really want your daughter to marry an ordinary person, why would you show your affection to the concubine Shizi from the very beginning. Whether we express it explicitly or hint at it, we need you and your daughter to be willing. Otherwise, my mother and I will never be able to quarrel. Qilu, send it to the palace." The second lady was also annoyed, and now things are strange, and she had the same dream of being a concubine for the eldest son at the beginning.

In the end, at the old lady's suggestion, the fourth wife cruelly sent her daughter into the palace in a small sedan chair, and thus quietly became the second young master's first concubine.

Jasmine saw Aunt Zeng stretching her brows, and a big stone fell to the ground in her heart.If Auntie became suspicious and traced her, she was afraid that she would lose her skin if she didn't die.Luckily Miss Six just came in to be a concubine, so Aunt Zeng was naturally overjoyed.

Anyway, she is Chen Deming's own niece, and also the cousin of the eldest princess and eldest daughter-in-law.With this relationship, it is somewhat of a help to his son.

He got a new aunt, but the second young master had a lukewarm attitude, and Chen Qilu didn't have a good look at him either.They were at a stalemate with each other, and neither of them was willing to be the first to bow their heads to please the other.

Because of this relationship, the concubine was afraid that she would affect the emotions of the imperial concubine, so Aunt Zeng was restrained, and she was not allowed to go to the imperial concubine's courtyard to say hello at will.

On the contrary, Chen Jiao'er went to see the princess alone sincerely, and thanked her for her kindness.He also fully confessed his thoughts, if the emperor sent Zhou Mingyuan to Annan at this time.Then he and the concubine became the best tools to threaten him in the eyes of others, so naturally he couldn't tolerate a person with a different heart around him.

"If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. As a mother, I understand it. You did the right thing." The princess patted the hand of the concubine, who had finally grown some flesh, and said comfortingly.

She once asked Zhou Mingyuan, what is it worth for him to wait so long for this woman, she must marry her back home.I remember Zhou Mingyuan's answer was, only this woman, when I dare to fight outside, I will give my back to her.

The concubine finally admitted that the current Chen Jiao'er is the appearance of the concubine in her heart.

Zhou Mingyuan received a secret order to rest in the mansion to recuperate from his illness, but in fact he secretly left Beijing to go to Annan to transfer troops.Few people in the palace knew about this matter.In order to deceive people, the sound of bamboo was left in the study, saying that the son was afraid of giving the concubine his sickness, so he stayed in the small study to recuperate, while he took care of the son's daily life.

Chen Jiao'er was weeping silently while packing her luggage. Going to such a far place alone, there was no one to wait on her, and she couldn't carry too much luggage. Maybe there would be an assassination on the way.Thinking of this, she turned around and plunged into his arms.

Zhou Mingyuan hugged her tightly, kissed her hair lightly, and comforted her, "There are hidden guards around me, so there won't be any danger."

"You will definitely come back safely, right?" Chen Jiao'er asked earnestly, wiping the corners of her eyes vigorously.

"Of course, I still want to watch our children grow up and become old men and old ladies hand in hand with you. Why don't I want to come back." Zhou Mingyuan promised again and again.

Looking at the luggage in front of him, Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but smile wryly. They were marching in a hurry, not traveling around.He simply let Zhu Sheng do the work, packed up a few simple clothes, and in the middle of the night, under the eyes of the concubine and Chen Jiao'er, he waved his horse and set off for a long journey.

As soon as Zhou Mingyuan left, the princess began to close the door tightly, loosening the outside and tightening the inside. Although all the confidantes didn't know why the princess was so nervous when the son was recuperating, they all carried out every order meticulously.

There are still two months to go before giving birth, Chen Jiao'er is a little nervous but more looking forward to it, touching the little hands and feet that bulge out from time to time on her belly every day, that kind of intimacy that is connected by blood makes her eyelashes often burst into tears.

"Ma'am, Bamboo Sound is here to greet you." Wanqian came over with a dessert and said to Chen Jiao'er.

Except for the prince and concubine, only a few confidant girls and women in the concubine's yard knew that the concubine was not in the mansion.Being personally warned by the Crown Princess, everyone knew that the matter was serious, so they kept their mouths tightly shut and did not dare to spread the word.

The eldest son's things were moved to the study, every day, Zhu Sheng would come to greet the eldest son, and Wanxi brought food in. People who didn't know the whole house thought that the eldest son was really recuperating in the study.

"There is news, the son of the world told me to report it to you." Zhou Mingyuan was on the road but had a secret connection with the prince, so naturally Chen Jiao'er would not inquire about these things.

Seeing Chen Jiaoer's signal, Zhu Sheng said, "Lin Zhicong ran away from the place of exile, and the government soldiers chased him all the way. Seeing he was cornered, he jumped off the cliff."

"The corpse, have you checked it?" Chen Jiao'er walked around the room in small steps while supporting her stomach.This is what the mother-in-law confessed, saying that her belly is too big, and the child is afraid that she will not be able to grow up. It is best to move around so that the childbirth will be easier.

"The face is broken, but the clothes and everything belong to him." Zhu Sheng answered honestly.For Lin Zhicong, it was not easy to be sentenced to death when he committed the crime at a young age.

Chen Jiao'er let the sound of bamboo go down, walking in small steps while thinking.For Lin Zhicong, she hated Lin Zhicong to the bone, and it was her idea to be sentenced to exile. For this reason, Zhou Mingyuan was jealous at the time.

She deeply knows that Lin Zhicong, who has been living a good life, has the fame of a scholar and claims to be a peerless talent, turning him into a sludge that is trampled on by others, living without dignity is the greatest torture to him.

What's more, in that kind of place, most people will be tossed to death within ten or eight years.Or when she remembered, one sentence could kill him.Unexpectedly, he would run away and jump off the cliff and fall to his death. Fortunately, the grievances between her and the nanny's family are over.

Qin Yiyi from Xianjun Prince's Mansion was holding the baby and shaking, the young master who was almost half a year old was grinning so much that his saliva flowed out, but was sent to Qin Yiyi's arms by the nanny, for some reason, his expression changed immediately , crying more than.

Seeing that Qin Yiyi's expression became more and more uneasy, the nanny stepped forward and said, "A child's face, the weather in March, changes as soon as it is said, the young master may be hungry."

Qin Yiyi gave the child to the nanny with a sullen face, and the nanny lowered her head and handed it over. She accidentally saw Shi Zifei's resentful glance at the young master, and was so frightened that her hand was unsteady, and almost dropped the young master.

Fortunately, another woman beside her also went up to meet her, which covered up the nanny's fault.After carrying the child down to nurse, the mother-in-law said to the nurse, "Be careful in the future, if something unexpected happens, let alone you, even if your whole family is tied up, it's not thick enough for the young master."

"Thank you, Aunt An." The nanny knew that Mrs. An was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so she said it for her own good.

Holding the young master's soft and succulent body, coaxing him to sleep in his arms, and pulling the parents with Mrs. An.

"I always feel that the concubine Shizi doesn't seem to care much about this child." Not only did she not care, she simply didn't take it seriously. Not like a mother.

"Don't meddle in the affairs of the big family." Mrs. An glared at her. She was the young master's personal servant, so why couldn't she tell.

"Don't say this in front of others in the future." Mrs. An reminded again, seeing the nurse nodding her promise, she sat down firmly and helped the young master sew a small shirt with a needle and thread.

"Miss, there is news." Zhen'er, who was in front of the imperial concubine, walked in quickly, dismissed the other servants, and said.

"When will you enter Beijing, be careful not to be recognized by others." Shi Zifei swept away the boredom just now and smiled.

Seeing that the young lady seemed to be in a good mood, Zhen'er boldly persuaded, "Miss should be more patient with the young master, after all, those nannies and wives are all sent by the princess."

Qin Yiyi glanced at Zhen'er with gloomy eyes, "It seems that the son of the world is lucky enough to make you a lot more courageous, and dare to dictate to the master. Do you want me to greet you tomorrow, Zhu'er?"

Zhen'er was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, cried for a while and then slapped herself, which made Shi Zifei calm down.
