Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 31 It's okay to be a concubine

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, the hall was suddenly quiet. Mrs. He's face turned pale with anger, and she held her chest and almost didn't carry her back. Mrs. He who accompanied Mrs. He said, "Mrs. Lin, let's be fair. In other words, Qingyi married into the He family, and the He family has never treated her badly, let alone bullied her. Even if you are angry and angry today, you have really wronged the He family. When you proposed marriage, Three matchmakers and six hires, I went with my younger siblings to the Lin family, Lin University scholar is an official appointed by the imperial court, and has won the sacred heart, how could we look down on the Lin family, we really sincerely proposed marriage."

Mrs. He spoke gently, her voice was not loud, but her tone was full of determination. She smiled very kindly, which made Mrs. Liu not know how to proceed.

Sapo is very good at arguing with Mrs. Liu, but he is not good at such polite reasoning.

"Old Madam Lin, you also know the importance of a woman's reputation. Suwan's reputation has been ruined by the kidnapping. She is only so young and has never married and had children. Isn't it a pity to encounter such a thing? The He family's cause is naturally related to Sheng'er. Marrying Ping's wife is wronging Qingyi, but she is being married by our He family's matchmaker. As long as she is here, no one can shake the position of this first wife. In the future, Su Wansheng If you have a child, you will not honor a child who has surpassed Qingyi."

"You feel sorry for you, why should you wrong my granddaughter? This is not considered bullying, so what is bullying!" Mrs. Liu also couldn't figure out the other meanings in her words. Bullying, there is nothing to feel sorry for.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu couldn't listen, Mrs. He also felt a slight headache. She was not afraid of being reasonable, but she was afraid of being a rascal. They couldn't argue with Mrs. Lin like this.

Mrs. He took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down her voice, "Mrs. Lin, what are your intentions when you come here today?"

"Of course it prevents you from marrying ordinary wives." Before Liu Shi could speak, Lu Shi's voice came from the door. Lin Qingran turned her head to look, with joy on her face, her father and mother had come.

After saying this, Mrs. Lu walked into the hall, bowed to Mrs. He, and looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Mother, why didn't you wait for us, and came here by yourself. The He family is not familiar with this place. , what should I do if I get hurt by knocking and bumping."

He went to support Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Lu looked at Mrs. He again, without waiting for her to say anything, still smiling, "Mrs. He, our Lin family is not unreasonable. Qingyi and her son-in-law have been married for six years. Adding a son to your He family is really unreasonable, since Mrs. He wants her niece to enter your He family, no one will stop her, but it is not marrying a common wife, but taking a concubine."

Originally, an old Mrs. Lin was already difficult enough, and the two Lin family couples came here, and they were not easy to provoke. The second Mrs. He heard the words, her face turned pale, "How can the eldest daughter of the Qin family be a concubine!"

"Concubines also have rules about concubines. There are differences between concubines and concubines, and there is no reason to accept noble concubines. Therefore, if Mrs. He wants to get married, Miss Qin can only be wronged and become a concubine. Both left and right want to give birth to a son-in-law. We Qingyi is not a domineering master, and we will treat her leniently, as long as she recognizes her identity clearly. It's his own reputation." Lu's words are completely different from Liu's. The mother-in-law has already said a lot, and what she wants to say is to go straight to the end. It's okay to take concubines, ten or eight can accept Well, it is true that the Lin family has nothing to do with it, but it is not acceptable to marry a noble concubine and marry an ordinary wife. If the Shao family is used as an issue, then the Qin family has a family background like Mrs. Shao's natal family, and it is different today.

"Mrs. Lin, what you say is not forcing people too much. Being an ordinary wife has already wronged Suwan, how can I let her be a concubine?" Mrs. Qin appeared at the door with the help of her maid. She was not in good health. Just now I heard the words in the hall outside, and my face was already embarrassed, "It was not her fault that my daughter was robbed by bandits, but she will suffer the result of damage to her reputation. Your words are insulting."

Mrs. Qin burst into tears. No matter what the He family plans, whether to marry or not, she is still sad for her daughter's experience. This is all her hope for the rest of her life.

"Mrs. Qin, Luodu City and Rongcheng are not the only places in my dynasty. Miss Qin wants to talk about a good marriage, but she just wants to marry into the He family as a common wife. What are you worrying about?" , Ms. Qin is wronged. Being robbed by bandits has nothing to do with her, but what does it have to do with my daughter and son-in-law? Did they find someone to hijack them? You insist on pinning this on the two children and let them To bear the incident of Miss Qin being robbed and let her son-in-law marry her, what are you so worried about?" Lu's seeing the sick Mrs. Qin couldn't have this kind of sympathy, "I don't want to find a good marriage, but this is the way to go. , not to mention being humiliated, it is self-inflicted."

Mrs. Qin trembled violently, and looked at Mrs. Lu in disbelief, "You are so vicious."

Mrs. Lu didn't bother to talk to her, and looked at Madam He who had been silent all this time, "Madam He, you are an elder of the He family, and I heard it mentioned by your aunt in the past. Madam He is a sensible person. Regarding this matter, our Lin family also has the same attitude. If a son-in-law wants to take a concubine, no matter who he takes, whether it is Miss Qin or a maid, our Lin family has nothing to say, but we don’t agree to marry an ordinary wife and take a noble concubine. If you insist If you want to marry this flat wife, then we, the husband and wife, will report to the Holy Majesty and ask him to decree that Qingyi and her son-in-law should reconcile. Who accepts whom has nothing to do with our Lin family."

The hall, which was full of chatter, was quiet. Mrs. He looked at Mrs. Lu with clear eyes.

In her opinion, Mrs. Lin, who came earlier, is nothing to be afraid of. It is Mr. Lin and his wife who are difficult to deal with. Mr. Lin will seek the status of the county monarch for his daughter, and naturally he will ask the Holy Majesty to come forward for this matter. Whether His Majesty is willing to come forward is another matter, if this kind of matter is brought up in front of His Majesty, the He family will lose face.

After a long time, Mrs. He said slowly, "I think you must have misunderstood."

After finishing speaking, I glanced at everyone, "The second room has mentioned to me the matter of marrying Miss Qin's family as an equal wife. Miss Qin is innocent, Mrs. Qin is alone, and she is far away from marrying, so I am reluctant, but it is just that. I mentioned it, but I didn’t count it.” Madam He glanced at the two daughters-in-law, “It’s our He family who didn’t discipline the servants well, who spread the words out of their mouths. The untrue things in the story will become in your ears that Sheng'er wants to marry Ms. Qin as an ordinary wife, and it is our He family's fault that Mrs. Lin was provoked by such a visit."

Lin Qingran glanced at Mrs. He, and remained silent all the time. She did so as soon as she opened her mouth, and calmly said that it was just a misunderstanding. If her father and mother hadn't appeared, she must have said something different.

"You guys came here today. If there are such rumors, you should make it clear so as not to cause any misunderstandings in the future." Mrs. He said again, "Our He family came to propose marriage sincerely, and we have not treated Qingyi badly. Even if she didn't give birth to a son for Sheng'er, there was no one in the second room. As for Miss Qin, she was quite frightened by the kidnapping and stayed in the He family for a few more days to raise her body. Let her go back to Rongcheng, marrying far away is also a good marriage, so this flat wife is nonsense."

Mrs. He didn't blush and her heart didn't beat, she called the whole thing a misunderstanding, even if she was looking for a way for the He family, she also settled the matter. The Lin family only had a scholar of Lin University as an official, and both sons were still alive. Little, the Holy Majesty won't do anything to him because of this incident, but with so many people in the He family at court, how could he not be affected.

Even if the Lin family came here today to slap their faces, Mrs. He has to pretend that it never happened, who made them feel wronged.

After Mrs. He finished speaking, let's let this matter go like this. Mrs. Liu stood up and said sincerely, "The He family is such a big family, the servants can't control their mouths well, it's not that I speak badly, old sister, this time People can't manage well, and if any word is spread, it will lose the face of the He family, you see how embarrassing it is when something like this happens, you have to take care of it!"

"You're right, you have to keep a close eye on it." Mrs. He's expression cracked for a moment, and she quickly recovered her kindness. She nodded and sent them to the gate in person.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Lin Qingyi. Those words before were told to the He family and also to her daughter, but she didn't know how much she listened to.

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Lu accompanied Mrs. Liu and took Lin Qingyun into a carriage, and Lin Qingran followed Lin Wenxi into the same carriage. After the carriage had gone for a while, Lin Qingran pulled up the curtain and glanced back, turned around. He asked Lin Wenxi, "Father, did you mean what grandma said just now?" He called Mrs. He an old sister, and sighed that the He family was not strict, which made Mrs. He angry.

"Your grandmother said that, it's not intentional." Lin Wenxi smiled, "Your grandmother thought simply, Mrs. He said so, she naturally followed Mrs. He's words to understand, the servants can understand this If this kind of thing spread outside and caused us such a big misunderstanding, it is natural that we have to keep it under control."

It was because it was said by an outsider, and it was so sincere, that it was slapped in the face.

Lin Qingran kept silent, and asked softly after a while, "The He family now says that it was a misunderstanding and they will not let the eldest brother-in-law marry a second wife, but when we go today, will Mrs. He hate the eldest sister?"

After a long time, Lin Wenxi's voice came from inside the carriage, "Ran'er, we can't go to He's house for your eldest sister to live. Today, we have made the decision for her. That means we have the qualifications to be the master. It's their He family's fault. Your eldest sister It's just too forbearing." Lin Wenxi paused, and pulled Lin Qingran to his side, "If your eldest sister doesn't want to live in the He family in the future, our Lin family can afford her."

Lin Qingran understood the meaning of her father's words very well. People have to live on their own. No matter how strong the mother's family is, can they take care of them all the time? A married woman is originally with her husband's family, and her mother's family interfered too much.

Lin Qingran thought of this, and then thought of the Shao family that both her elder sister and mother had mentioned, raised her head and asked Lin Wenxi, "Father, what happened to the Shao family that mother mentioned about marrying a flat wife?"
