The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 106 People feel refreshed during happy events

Ningyuan Hou was worried about his wife and daughter all night. After listening to Li's retelling, his face changed and he became hesitant.

"The Shi family is not that desperate, right? For a family like ours, if our children and grandchildren are motivated, it is safest to maintain the status quo. The next step is treason and rebellion, and the next step is a downgrade in title, but wealth and honor can be preserved. Why should we take risks for a future that may wipe out our entire clan?"

What he was thinking in his heart was, if the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to sit in that position himself, would he still respect him as a man? Why would he go through so much trouble just to make his daughter the queen?

What is the picture?

Even if the son born by his daughter becomes emperor in the future, he will not have his surname. He still has to kneel down and salute his grandson. Why bother?

Therefore, he didn't really believe what Ge Qiuheng said.

Besides, how could Ge Qiuheng, a young girl from the inner palace, know such a secret? I'm afraid that not all the adult males in the Shi family might know it.

It was even more impossible for Shi Minghui to tell her about his fiancée who had not yet married him.

Li pondered over it all night and came up with some clues: "The Shi family's ambition is one, and the other is probably that they pamper Zhuzhu too much. My Lord, think about it carefully, if you just want Zhuzhu to be the queen, wouldn't it be cheaper to marry her to the crown prince? It's easier to kill the crown princess than the crown prince."

She whispered in his ear, "The prince is weak, and if the Shi family's ambitions grow, wouldn't it be better to wait for Zhuzhu to give birth to a son, support the young emperor to ascend the throne, and use the emperor to control the princes?

Why did he have to marry her to the Fourth Prince? It was simply because he doted on Zhuzhu too much and wanted to give her a clean husband and make her his first wife. He looked down on the fact that the Crown Prince already had a Crown Princess.

The Shi family is too ambitious. They want their daughter to marry a prince, and they are even picking and choosing among the princes. This is extremely disrespectful. "

Ning Yuanhou felt very uncomfortable and frowned: "If you dote on your daughter to this extent, where does your wife stand?"

Men and women think differently.

When a woman sees a family doting on their daughter, she thinks that the daughter-in-law of this family is also favored and has a high status. She also fantasizes that her own child will become a daughter-in-law. If she is not pregnant and gives birth to a daughter, she will not be criticized by the husband's family.

Men who have wives and concubines everywhere naturally understand what favoritism and selfishness are.

Pampering the only daughter does not mean pampering the daughter-in-law.

If it is partiality, how can you divide your love equally into several parts and favor others?

At least the elders will never dote on their daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law in the same way.

Ning Yuanhou was optimistic about Shi Minghui's future and knew that Shi Mingzhu was favored, but he never expected that the Shi family doted on their daughter to such an obscene degree.

His mother Heng didn't get married to endure the bullying of her aunt and mother-in-law.

The couple's conversation became clearer and clearer.

Li's heart was beating fast, and she stroked her chest and said, "I'll ask around. I don't usually pay much attention to the Shi family's daughter-in-law. I only see Zhuzhu being pampered at home."

The two of them simultaneously recalled the incident in which Shi Mingwei and Le Anning strangled each other and hanged themselves, Fu Nanjun's divorce and Shi Mingwu's apology, and even the second daughter of the Shi family, who was almost infamously ruined by the thugs hired by her brother in the street...

Li sighed, "Why does it seem less reliable the more I think about it?"

Looking further back, Shi Mingwei had also crawled into a widow's bed and was chased by a gambling house owner for debt collection, becoming a laughing stock in the capital.

Ning Yuanhou said cautiously: "Let's put aside the other things. I want to investigate whether the Shi family and the Fourth Prince are plotting something.

"Before we find out anything, let's delay the matter with the Shi family. If Heng Niang's information is wrong, it will hurt the relationship between our two families. It will not be a good thing for us to become enemies instead of a married couple."

It is better to be safe than sorry. I am afraid that if I am not careful, it will bring trouble to the Ge family.

The Ge family has no shortage of further wealth and prosperity.

After all, if the Shi family succeeds in their plan, can't the throne be given to their Ge family in half to sit on?

If it succeeds, the Ge family won't get any benefit. If it fails, the Ge family will get into trouble. He will not do such a losing business.

Li replied, "That's right. As for Qiuheng, wait a minute. Girls are fickle-minded. I'm afraid if I cancel the engagement, what will she say if she regrets it?"

"Tomorrow the Shi family will come to visit us. You should entertain them. Be subtle about the marriage. On the surface, just say that Hengniang is young and they don't want her to marry early. They will keep her for a few years. I will hide from that old bastard Shi Jimian for now."

?

Zhenguogongfu.

Since the first day of the new year, Zheng has been bedridden, except when she goes to the bathroom.

Yesterday, the Shi family and the Ge family decided on a marriage, and a big thing in her heart was settled. She was in high spirits because of the happy event. When she woke up in the morning, she felt much refreshed and her mind was clear, so she came out to meet the guests.

Because she was still weak, she just sat there to accompany the lady and the guests. All affairs in the mansion were still taken care of by the third wife Rong and her nephews and their wives.

Shi Yao glanced at Zheng's radiant face after she put on makeup, and couldn't help but think with pity: Aunt, you are happy too early.

Everyone knew that Shi Minghui was about to get married, and they all came to congratulate Zheng.

The smile on Zheng's face hadn't faded the entire morning. When she saw Shi Yao, her eyes were still a little cold, but she didn't seem embarrassed.

The next day was the day when the Shi family visited the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion.

The day before yesterday, Ge Qiuheng begged the lady dowager for mercy and finally got her to agree to take Shi Yao to the Ge family today.

Therefore, after arriving in Beijing, Shi Yao was able to go out and visit friends for the first time.

Aunt Liu Hua personally selected clothes, a bun, and hairpins and jewelry for her. After looking at them again and again and seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, she allowed Shi Yao to go out.

Even so, before leaving, she kept nagging and reminding him: "Going out to meet other people is not like being at home. If you do something wrong, you will leave a bad impression on others. If you meet a mean person, your bad reputation will spread..."

Shi Yao couldn't help but say, "Aunt, am I not already notorious? It can't get any worse."

Aunt Liu Hua felt sad for her after hearing this. Tears almost fell from her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "Most rumors are just lies. There are people with clear eyes and hearts who know the truth. The girl is just trying to protect herself."

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

After spending a long time together, she developed some genuine love for Shi Yao and sincerely hoped that she would be well and marry into a reliable family in the future.

"I hope so." Shi Yao smiled and nodded. Seeing that she finally stopped nagging, she took Muxiang and Banxia into the carriage.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and the Marquis Ningyuan's Mansion were only two streets apart, so they arrived there quickly.

The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion opened its main gate to welcome the distinguished guests.

In addition to Shi Yao, those who came today included the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife, Shi Jianan and his wife, Shi Mingwei and his wife, Shi Mingzhen and his wife, Shi Mingkui and his wife, as well as Shi Minghui and Shi Lingyun. It was a very grand ceremony and gave enough face to the future in-laws.

Except for the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the eldest branch of the family, all who came were the most influential sons and daughters-in-law of each branch. Even the eldest great-grandson of the old Duke came as a representative of the fourth generation.
