The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 280 Worried

Within half a day, everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew that the Third Grandma, the Fifth Grandma, and the Sixth Grandma had gone to visit the First Madam Zheng and stayed to help her grow vegetables.

The servants praised the three women for their loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and said they were role models of virtuous and filial women. They discussed in private whether the three women were hiding from someone and had taken themselves to the ancestral temple, or whether they had committed some serious mistake and were therefore sent to the ancestral temple by the old Duke's wife.

They waited for two days, but saw no one from the Tao, Qi, or Wang families coming to make trouble, so they realized that the three people had gone there on their own and were not sent there.

Everyone couldn't help but steal a few sympathetic glances at the Third Master, the Fifth Master, and the Sixth Master from time to time.

The three brothers Shi Mingzhen, Shi Mingying and Shi Mingmo had several quarrels with the second wife Shen and the eldest sister-in-law Fu Nanjun. One of them would not allow them to go out and sent people to keep a close eye on them, while the other knew nothing when asked.

Rong was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and came to find Shen to ask about the situation.

Shen's face was full of fatigue, and she said lazily, "Third sister-in-law, we are both straightforward people, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll tell you straight away, my two daughters-in-law have already divorced and have gone to the government office to get the seal. Since Yaoyao hasn't arranged a marriage yet, I'm keeping the news secret for the time being.

I don't know what your daughter-in-law is like, so go ask her. However, there are many people in the capital who are watching our family right now, so we shouldn't create unnecessary trouble. No matter what we do, we must be friendly. "

What this means is that you cannot bring people to forcibly kidnap Wang Fan and bring him back to the mansion.

Rong held his breath.

Before, the eldest sister-in-law was putting pressure on me. After the eldest sister-in-law finally entered the family temple, the second sister-in-law came to put pressure on me.

The previous pride that the sons had for their success disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"But, second sister-in-law, as a daughter-in-law, it is not a good thing to stay out all night, and it will not be good for the reputation of the Wang family..."

Shen was exhausted physically and mentally. She raised her hand to interrupt Rong's expression of "I am doing this for my daughter-in-law's good" and said calmly, "She went to the ancestral temple of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which is not a dirty place. If she lives there, it will ruin her reputation, let alone let her live in our mansion."

Rong's face immediately turned unhappy.

Shen didn't care about her expression at all, and continued earnestly: "Third sister-in-law, the situation in the mansion is getting worse and worse. You are Yaoyao's mother, and you should concentrate on arranging a marriage for her. Although the marriage has not been decided yet, you should also prepare the dowry to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes.

Since you want to use her for marriage, both sides will benefit, so you should show a friendly attitude, don't just talk and make empty promises. She is a young girl and doesn't understand these principles. You are an experienced person, so you should be more tolerant. I see that she helps Mingwu's wife manage the household, and she is doing a good job, not inferior to Zhuzhu. "

Rong nodded with a stiff face. She understood the logic and had discussed the dowry with the old lady, but saying it was one thing and doing it was another.

Still feeling uncomfortable.

However, thinking about the future of my sons, I could only suppress my anger.

"It's already being prepared. The old lady prepared most of it long ago. Only some new items need to be added. Second sister-in-law, speaking of Zhuzhu, do you want to meet her?"

Shen saw Rong's tentative attitude and smiled faintly, "I have heard some news about Prince Cheng's mansion recently. Prince Cheng dotes on Zhuzhu very much and even accompanies her when she goes out to have fun. Zhuzhu has not sent any message to her family saying she wants to see us. I think she has never suffered any grievances. Let's not meet for now. We are both in the capital, so there is no shortage of opportunities to meet."

The huge rock hanging in Rong's heart fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Feeling at ease.

It seems that Shen has also given up on Shi Mingzhu, the troublemaker.

They are all mothers and aunts, so they should have the same ideas.

At the beginning, the old man said that the whole family doted on Shi Mingzhu, and they allowed their sons to dote on Shi Mingzhu just to please the old man and the first wife.

Of course, there were also some people who thought that rare things were more valuable. Since they didn't have a daughter or granddaughter, they thought Shi Mingzhu was lovable.

But Shi Mingzhu was spoiled to the point of being lawless and bringing disaster to the whole family. They were not her mother, so how could they not have any resentment?

No matter how lovable your niece is, or how much of a precious jewel she is, how can she be as important as the future of your own children and grandchildren?

They were kind enough not to take advantage of the situation and retaliate against Shi Mingzhu or the eldest son's family - of course, that was also because they didn't have the ability to do so.

Shen sent Rong away, returned to her chair and sat back, massaging her forehead.

Quite overwhelmed.

The most taboo thing for a large family is disunity.

In the past, the old man advocated that the whole family should pamper Shi Mingzhu, which was also a means of rallying people's hearts.

But Shi Mingzhu was not ambitious and did not appreciate her blessings. She took everyone's favor for granted and asked for whatever she wanted. She used the favor as a weapon to attack her siblings and the prince, which led to her current situation.

Now everyone in the court knows that the fourth prince Zhou Shao took on a major human trafficking case in order to win the smile of a beautiful woman.

Some guilty court officials tried to trip Zhou Shao up at every turn. When they could not find any stain on him, they picked on him and impeached him for favoring his concubine and killing his wife, and for having a bad character. They also impeached his maternal family, the Ning family, for bullying men and women, seizing good farmland, and accepting bribes, etc.

Concubine Ning was extremely angry.

Zhou Shao was in a dilemma. If he investigated the case, he would offend the powerful people in the court. If he didn't investigate, he would be branded as incompetent.

Moreover, the candidates were extremely excited and actively helped to find clues, sending the victims to the gate of Prince Cheng's palace one after another.

These days, the entrance to Prince Cheng's mansion is busier than the government office.

Someone specially set up a big drum at the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion, and the victims whose children were lost went to beat the drum one after another to appeal for justice and ask the Fourth Prince to help find their children.

Why doesn’t Shen have a headache?

Concubine Ning has not spared any time to do this. Once she does, she will definitely deal with the Shi family.

This is what it means to make enemies out of marriage.

Coupled with the influence of the prophetic dream, the Shi family is even less likely to support the Fourth Prince.

"Now it seems that the daughters-in-law's divorce is a good thing."

At least, the grandchildren can escape from the huge quagmire of the Shi family and grow up safely.

Just as she was thinking about it, the maid came in hurriedly and reported: "Madam, the Third Master and the Fifth Master are here to see you again!"

Shen's eyebrows were raised, and she shouted impatiently: "Hit him out!"

What were you doing earlier?

When he had a wife, he didn't cherish her and kept hanging around Shi Mingzhu every day. After his wife ran away, he came to beg her to take her back.

He also ordered: "Call Yunxiao and the other three brothers. From now on, I will personally teach them."

The maid squatted and bowed: "Yes."

Shi Yao watched the excitement for several days, one melon after another.

One day, I suddenly received a post from Ge Qiuheng.

She thought about it, asked for leave from Fu Nanjun, and then asked for leave from the lady: "...Ge's fourth sister is leaving Beijing, and she asked me to see her off."

The Madam had lived a peaceful life here and knew nothing. She was arguing with the old Duke over her grandson-in-law. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Ask your third cousin to take you there."

Shi Yao smiled and said, "Grandmother, have you forgotten that we live close to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, while the third cousin of the Jiang family lives far away. There is no reason to ask him to take a long detour to send me off."

The lady said with a stern face, "You have to send someone outside the city gate. How can you do that without a man to escort you? It's settled."

Shi Yao had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.

Unexpectedly, Shen was well-informed and hurriedly sent someone to call Tang Zhan.

Therefore, as soon as Shi Yao went out, she saw Tang Zhan riding on a tall horse.

As soon as Tang Zhan saw her figure, his eyes lit up and he jumped off his horse, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said softly, "Second sister Shi."
