Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 48
Mrs. Shou Changbo was leaning on the reclining chair, so weak that she didn't even have the strength to sit up straight. Beside her, a servant woman was holding a five or six-year-old girl in pink jade. The child's eyes were watery. Didi yo turned straight, very clever, looking at the ball of Yuxue, arousing love and affection.

Mrs. Lin and Aunt Zhao sat aside, Wanqing and Wanli went in, greeted Mrs. Shouchangbo and Princess Ninghua, and after getting to know a few wives, the girls retreated to one side and sat down.

Princess Ninghua was talking to Mrs. Shouchangbo. From time to time, she tried to cry with a handkerchief, but Aunt Zhao's eyes were bright. She interrupted a few words from time to time, and Zhao Shuxuan went to tease the girl: "You Is it Yingjie?"

The girl was very restless when she was hugged by the servant woman, and her small body kept twisting and turning. When she saw a beautiful big sister talking to her, she smiled crookedly and refused to recognize her: "Daddy give me Name it Yingyue, my sister can call me Sister Yue, but I like to be called Sister Ying." The voice is as clear as Dingdong mountain spring, pleasant to the ear.

Mrs. Shou Changbo looked at Sister Ying lovingly, with a tenderness in her eyes: "Poor child, she is only five years old. If I go, who will take care of her? No matter how good a person is, she can't compare to her." My own mother..." Before she could finish her sentence, she coughed again.

"Knowing these reasons, sister-in-law should take good care of her body. As long as you are here, who would dare to bully sister Ying?" Princess Ninghua comforted Mrs. Shou Changbo by patting her hand.

Mrs. Shou Changbo coughed again, and the maid standing beside her hurriedly took a pill and fed it to her, so that she felt better.

Raising his eyes, he looked straight at Wanqing, beckoned and said, "Miss Gu San, sit here." His expression was very kind.

Lin's face sank, she gave Wanqing a clear look, and coughed lightly: "This child just sprained his ankle, and he is a little unsteady when walking, Madam, do you have something to say to her?"

"Why did you sprain your ankle? It's too immodest to act." Princess Ninghua said disdainfully.

Wanqing Zhengba had no choice but to go there, bowing her head as if she hadn't heard Princess Ninghua's reprimand.Mrs. Shou Changbo looked a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said: "Last time in my sister's house, that child Ling Yun saw Miss San for some reason. It's rare for him to ask me to propose marriage. He's already twenty years old. , Be sure to calm down, I am very pleased."

In front of all the guests, we talked about the marriage of our children. Mrs. Shou Changbo was really impatient. Wanqing bowed her head in shyness, but she was very anxious in her heart. She didn't want to marry a hot boy...

Lin's face froze, coughed twice, lowered his head and took a sip of tea before saying: "It is the Gu family's blessing to be able to form a good relationship with the Earl's Mansion, and that child Ling Yun is also very good to me. Our master treats him very well." It's also praised, but Qing girl is still a little younger, and she won't be born until next year. I love her very much, and I want to stay in her house to raise her for two years, I'm afraid it will delay Ling Yun's child..."

Lin's meaning is very tactful, she wants to marry Shouchang Bo's mansion, but she doesn't want to marry Wanqing.

Mrs. Shou Changbo's eyes darkened when she heard this, she sighed and looked straight at Wanqing, Aunt Zhao said: "Miss Qing is not young anymore, speaking of it, Sister Li is younger than Miss Qing Well, isn't the marriage of the Hou's mansion also settled? Let's make the marriage first. Madam likes to marry a girl, so she will definitely treat her like a daughter. "

Mrs. Shou Changbo's dark and cloudy eyes immediately cleared up again, and she clapped her hands and smiled, "It's so good, Ling Yun can settle down, I just... Even if I go, I can feel at ease."

As he spoke, big and big tears dripped down like pearls, and everyone beside him was heartbroken. The wives were all mothers, and none of them broke their hearts for their children. For a moment, they lamented that Mrs. Shouchangbo's beauty is too thin Longevity, full of wealth and honor, but no blessings to enjoy.

Mrs. Lin couldn't say anything when she was on her lips. Aunt Zhao's words made her unable to refute. If you agree, it will completely disrupt her plan. The concubine's daughter of a junior fifth-rank official has already given the sky great face, isn't that ignorant of flattery?
Looking around, except for her, almost all the ladies sitting here are above the third grade and have orders. Except for a few in-laws, who would look at her seriously? She gave Aunt Zhao a faint look, and Shangguan Ye appeared in front of her eyes. From that gloomy and weak look, he decided to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, the reason is that the second girl is more similar to the son in age, she is already sixteen, and she is more suitable to marry than the Qing girl." Some……"

"Oh, that child Ling Yun is stubborn. There are also young ladies of the same age. The only one he can fancy is Miss San..." Mrs. Shou Changbo shook her head before Mrs. Lin could finish her sentence, interrupting her , her son, she knows in her heart that he has always been dissolute and unscrupulous. If his reputation had not been ruined, how could he condescend to marry a concubine with his appearance and background?It's rare that he is willing to get married, and she doesn't want to go against his will. The children are the flesh that fell from the mother, so the second Miss Gu seems to be vain, and her sister Ying is still young. Will marry a second wife, if the sister-in-law of the direct relative is too powerful, who will protect her?

Thinking of this, Madam Shouchang's eyes became sharper, "I have already discussed this matter with my uncle, and I will invite the media to go to Gu's house tomorrow, and my uncle will propose marriage in person." The tone was undeniable. firm.

Shocked by her aura, Mrs. Lin was speechless. Mrs. Shou Changbo's intentions were obvious. There was no reason for Lin's disapproval of this marriage. The real master of the Gu family was Elder Gu, Mr. Shou Changbo. Going out in person has given the Gu family enough face, and Mr. Gu has no reason not to agree.

Wanqing's scalp became numb when she heard it, Wanrong was grinding her teeth while sitting next to her, and she was frightened once by Shangguan Yelihao, this meeting was honest, she didn't dare to goug out Wanqing's eyes, she just rubbed her feet against the marble floor , The soles of the embroidered shoes made a scratching sound from time to time.

Wanli was also pale, and Sui Lin, who had big eyes from time to time, bit her lip and almost cried.Mrs. Shou Changbo probably would never know that the marriage she had arranged made all three daughters of the Gu family worry.

Shangguan Ziyi quietly asked Wanli: "Is Fourth Sister feeling unwell? I see that you don't look well."
