Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 108 Calculation
Shangguan sighed, "That's all. When your cousin leaves our house, you will learn the rules from me."

...

At dinner, since they were all members of the Liu family, the eldest and second eldest members of the Liu family shared the same table with Tang Bingxuan. During the banquet, the eldest aunt Shangguanshi was even more protective than before, making Tang Bingxuan feel like she was trying to please her.

Why do you want to please her? Is there anything my eldest aunt Shangguan needs my help with?

In the evening, Tang Bingxuan received news that Liu Ruman went to the guest house to meet Jiang Shunian in the afternoon.

This is what Zhichun heard when he went to the kitchen to ask for hot water for Tang Bingxuan to take a bath. He heard the two little girls chatting in the kitchen. After hearing this, Zhichun said nothing and left the kitchen without squinting, leaving the two girls alone. The little girl is embarrassed.

Tang Bingxuan muttered in confusion: "No wonder my aunt Shangguan was so attentive during dinner. It turns out she is a little embarrassed towards me."

Zhichun and Zhixia helped Tang Bingxuan bathe and scrub in the bathroom. They were speechless when they heard what their young lady said. Zhichun said, "Miss, shouldn't your focus be on Miss Liu Si?"

Tang Bingxuan felt and knew what Jiang Shunian was like and how she treated herself. She was not even afraid that Jiang Shunian would do anything wrong to her. After all, there were still many women in Lingguo who had divorced and remarried.

"Cousin Ruman is still a child at heart, how can she know so many twists and turns."

Tang Bingxuan thought that she was pretty good at judging people. Liu Ruman, the fourth daughter of the Liu family, looked like a little girl who had not yet had her first love, let alone the dignified daughter of the Liu family rushing to be a concubine.

Tang Bingxuan sighed again: "My grandfather, the Liu family, didn't have many houses and masters, but there was a scheming monster."

Zhichun and Zhixia both looked up at Tang Bingxuan, wondering where their young lady's emotion came from.

The three brothers and sisters in the Duke Rong's mansion get along very well with each other on weekdays, and have never intentionally caused trouble for each other. The cousins ​​from my uncle's family are young, but they are very scheming.

On the way back to the courtyard where Tang Bingxuan was resting after lunch, she saw Miss Liu Si, Liu Ruman, and Miss Liu San, Liu Ruyi, each with a girl talking about something on the garden path. Miss Liu Si seemed to be in a hurry, and Miss Liu San looked... comfort her.

Tang Bingxuan was too far away to hear what the two said. She only saw Miss Liu San's girl pointing in the direction of the hanging flower door, and Miss Liu Si hurriedly left with the girl.

At that time, Tang Bingxuan didn't think much about it. Maybe something happened to their sisters, so she took Zhichun and Zhixia straight back to the courtyard to take a nap, but she didn't expect to get the news in the evening.

Miss Liu San, Liu Ruyi, looks weak and has no sense of existence, but it turns out that she was so scheming at a young age. Not only did she guide Miss Liu Si to the guest house, but she also quietly spread it to her ears.

I wonder if my eldest aunt Shangguan already knows that this matter was set up by Miss Liu San, the niece of the second wife?
After listening to her daughter Liu Ruman's narration, Shangguan speculated that the matter had something to do with her niece Liu Ruyi who lives next door. However, at that time, Liu Ruyi's girl just pointed in the direction when Liu Ruman was looking for Youyou in a hurry, and she actually found her in the guest house. Oh, Shangguan didn't like it, so he went to confront the niece of the third wife about this matter.

But Shangguan wouldn't be able to swallow this breath if the matter was over. After all, it was her daughter that Liu Ruyi was plotting against. Shangguan kept this account in mind, and she would definitely let this evil monster of the Liu family learn a lesson. The next day, Shangguan and Kang took their daughter and Tang Bingxuan to go shopping. Cloth, embroidery, jewelry and other shops came to patronize them. Their eldest aunt Shangguan and second aunt Kang generously provided gifts for Tang Bingxuan. Paid the bill.

No one mentioned what happened yesterday, and Liu Ruman even traveled with them, and there was no pain of punishment on her face, as if what happened yesterday never happened.

Miss Liu San, Liu Ruyi, still looks weak and taciturn on the outside, but she is full of resentment in her heart. Liu Ruman did such an unethical thing and got no punishment at all!

Liu Ruyi and Liu Ruman were about the same age, but because one was a concubine and the other was a legitimate daughter, they were always compared, not only by the servants in the house, but also by Liu Ruyi herself.

Liu Ruyi, who thought she was better in appearance and talent than Liu Ruman, had always lived a submissive life in the Liu family, but Liu Ruman was able to get more favors without any effort, and Liu Ruyi's growing jealousy turned into jealousy, but she just didn't dare He openly offended Liu Ruman.

Yesterday, Liu Ruyi asked someone to use a cat to lure Youyou into pursuit while the girl taking care of Youyou was not paying attention. She led Youyou to the guest room, and then asked her girl to point vaguely in the direction for Liu Ruman, who was anxious to find Youyou.

When plotting against Liu Ruman, Liu Ruyi expected that her eldest aunt Shangguan would see through her little trick. However, after all, eldest aunt Shangguan was the elder in the next room, and the second wife Kang was the biggest in the second room.

Mrs. Liu Er's wife Kang has a gentle and friendly temperament, and she never treats Mr. Liu Er's only concubine harshly. It's just that Liu Ruyi herself feels that a concubine should keep herself humble in order to please her aunt's mother. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Ruyi It's like being submissive.

Some ladies in Yunzhou City ostensibly praised Mrs. Liu Er for her skill in raising her daughter, but privately many people laughed at Mrs. Liu Er for Kang's efforts to teach a concubine so hard that she couldn't stand up to the public. Kang himself was unable to defend himself.

However, growing up in a big family since childhood, even if she is as gentle and gentle as the Kang family, she cannot be manipulated at will, especially if she is a concubine who earns a living under her hand;
Since Liu Ruyi wants to be bullied, Kang will help her and will take Liu Ruyi to the banquet.

Liu Ruyi thought that she had lowered herself to please her aunt Kang, so she was brought out to the banquet. In fact, it was just Mrs. Liu's second wife, Kang, who did it deliberately. In the eyes of the ladies in Yunzhou, Liu Ruyi was If a concubine is not worthy of publicity, each family must carefully consider whether to have such a daughter-in-law.

Generally, the concubine of a well-matched family will marry the concubine of the other family;
Only when the man's family status is different from that of the woman's family, will the legitimate son of the family marry a concubine from a high family as a wife.

Since Liu Ruyi wanted to die on her own, Mrs. Liu's second wife, Kang, would go along with the situation. By then, Liu Ruyi's marriage would probably not be as she wanted.

Of course, there is also the idea of ​​marrying a concubine to a widower as a stepmother in order to win over the man. This kind of climbing up the ladder will never be allowed by the Liu family.

...

Although Jiang Shunian lives in Jiang Mansion, news has been coming from Leyang Mansion that the case has become apparent, and he must rush over to deal with it.

Tang Bingxuan had only been living in her maternal grandfather's Liu family for two days and couldn't bear to leave. She sent someone to send a letter to Tang Bingxuan, mentioning that she was going to Leyang Mansion for a visit.
