Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I've become cannon fodder for this nerd's fight.

Chapter 9

She couldn't bear the presence of two mistresses next to him. Why would he take the initiative to take a concubine for him in the future?
Wei Hanzhang felt his eyes darken...

"Ran Ran!" Mrs. Jiang saw her attitude and said anxiously: "If I had known this, mother should not have accepted the Gu family's marriage that day. You should have done the same as mother and found a husband with whom you have never been together before marriage and followed your parents' orders. Once you get married, you won't talk about 'minding' or 'liking'."

This world is always harsh on women, especially harsh women.

How could her little daughter, who is as precious as a pearl, slip into the trap of "a pair for life" in the storybook?

Wei Heng, who was about to enter the door, listened to what he said. His steps were slightly hesitant, and then he walked in naturally. Seeing the mother and daughter, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? I heard your mother outside. The voices of the two women.”

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent, stood up and bowed: "Dad is going to court?"

Seeing his lively and well-behaved little daughter, Wei Heng looked soft and said softly: "It's not the next court. The prince is not in the capital recently, and he has been exempted from two consecutive court meetings. My father just came back from duty, and I heard that you, mother and daughter The conversation was lively.”

Only officials of the fourth rank and above are eligible to attend the court meeting on the fifth day of the dynasty. Wei Heng's official position is the fifth-rank admonishment official, and he can only participate in the big court meeting on the 15th day of the lunar month.

The two major court meetings are exempted, which means it will take more than a month.

As for why the prince even skipped the court meeting when he was away from the capital, Wei Hanzhang, who grew up in Xuzhou, also knew this.

Because His Majesty, the Emperor of the Daling Dynasty, has been sick in bed for a long time, the affairs of the government were handled by the prince seven years ago. If the prince who oversees the country is not around, why should the officials go to court.

Mrs. Jiang got up from the couch. She didn't answer her husband's last words, and only waved to the maid to serve the meal.

Wei Yunpei had lunch at the Imperial Academy, and there were only three members of his family for lunch.

Liu Chen and his two concubines stood aside to serve. After dinner, as soon as Wei Heng left, Wei Hanzhang asked nervously: "Did you hear anything?"

"It doesn't matter," Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Your father's temperament won't care about these details. Your father and I have been together for many years. We only talk about our relationship as husband and wife. There is no need to talk about anything else."

Wei Hanzhang: "..."

No, why is this inconsistent with the original plot?

How could her mother's mentality be like that of a poisonous woman who was jealous of her concubine and plotted to murder her children?
Jealousy arises from love. Jiang has no concept of "love" at all towards Wei Heng. Where does jealousy come from?

Could it be that the misfortunes of the children later caused Jiang, the mistress, to change her temperament?

…………

Jiang remembered that yesterday her mother-in-law asked her daughter to go to her place to meet her sisters today, and she led Wei Hanzhang out the door not long after lunch.

It was a sunny day today, the spring sunshine was warm, and the scene of the resurrection of all things looked joyful. Jiang did not ask anyone to prepare the sedan, but took his daughter there in person. On the way, he happened to talk to her about the situation at home.

From the eldest son of the eldest son to the other concubine uncles below, Mr. Jiang described it in extremely detail.

Wei Hanzhang's eldest sister had introduced many things in the letter. She listened carefully and thought of Wei Hanyue again.

In the original work, the female cannon fodder who stayed with the Buddhist temple all her life, after Wei Hanzhang came back, no one, including the Jiang family, mentioned in front of her that she had a sister-in-law.

It's like, this prince's mansion no longer has the fifth daughter.After passing a waterside pavilion, Jiang took Wei Hanzhang and sat down on the promenade facing the water to rest for a while.

She looked lovingly at her little girl who had just returned home and said: "When summer comes, when my son grows hairpins, the lotus flowers will be in full bloom in this lake. Then mother will give you a grand birthday ceremony, and we must let the whole capital know about our family." There’s also Xiaojiu.”

Wei Hanzhang felt a little sour in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, where is my sister now? Can you let me go see her?"

"Your sister...your sister is praying for the family," Mrs. Jiang burst into tears. "Your grandfather gave an order that no one in the family is allowed to mention her. You must not mention her again in the future."

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and whispered: "I know you care about your sister, and so does mother. Don't worry, my son, everything is fine with your sister in the temple. Mother has taken care of her, and no one will make things difficult for her."

Even if she goes to the family temple, she is the legitimate daughter of the family and has no reason to be bullied by slaves. However, if a young lady of the right age is always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns and a high-spirited spirit, she is afraid that life will be worse than death.

When Mrs. Jiang was so sad, Wei Hanzhang, as her daughter, felt even worse. She felt helpless and powerless.

Wei Hanyue was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family who was raised in a deep boudoir. She had never offended anyone, but yet she got into this misfortune. A popular candidate for Crown Princess was abducted by gangsters for one night. This matter was definitely not a small thing in the eyes of the emperor.

But what happened in the twelfth lunar month last year, the mastermind behind it has not yet been found. The gang did catch it, but no matter how they tortured them to extract confessions, they only admitted that they were motivated by sex and wanted to have a taste of the noble daughter of a noble family. As for whether Obey others and never acknowledge them.

Marquis Zhongyong lost a legitimate granddaughter, so naturally he refused to give up easily. He tried his best and still couldn't do anything, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

Such a huge shame, the whole capital was laughing, and Zhongyong Hou Weiping issued an order not to let the family mention this matter at all.

Privately, I have a few suspects in my heart, and they are all families with daughters who are expected to be crown princesses.

Wei Hanzhang thought carefully in his mind, and without any clue, he heard Jiang's voice.

She said: "Speaking of which, our Crown Prince is very much in line with what you said."

Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes, looking puzzled: "What?"

"What else could it be?" Mrs. Jiang tapped her eyebrows and pretended to scold: "The man you said 'doesn't even look at the girl', looking at the entire capital, my mother can only think of our Crown Prince. "

"..." Wei Hanzhang was stunned and said in surprise: "I also heard in Xuzhou that His Highness the Crown Prince has been in charge of the country. It has been seven years now, and he..."

Speaking of this, Wei Hanzhang suddenly thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had not welcomed the Crown Princess yet...

You’re 25 and haven’t welcomed the crown princess yet?

No, isn't her sister a popular candidate for the crown princess?

Jiang Shi also thought of this, and she said with some sadness: "Your Highness has been in charge of the country for many years. His Majesty is gentle, diligent in government affairs, and he is kind and generous. He is praised by everyone in the court for being a wise ruler.

Although no concubine has ever been selected, no one in the government or the public has dared to raise objections to this. It was only last year when His Majesty issued a decree to select a concubine for the prince that we, aristocratic families, dared to operate. "

It is said to be an operation, but in fact, it is to make a name for my daughter, whether it is a virtuous name, a talented name, or a good name. In short, I have to let His Highness the Crown Prince know that I have a daughter in my family who is a perfect match for you.

The noble ladies of the aristocratic families are both beautiful and beautiful. If they want to stand out, they must have advantages that are far superior to others.
