The reborn prince's wife

It was night, Mrs. Mu was holding a volume of Buddhist scriptures and sat on the tavern to read, while Bai Su was making tea at the side. The faint fragrance of the top-quality dragon well wafted out, mixed with the sandalwood in the room, giving off a sense of leisure and contentment. smell.

"Bai Su, you are not someone who beats around the bush, so just say what you have to say." The old lady flipped through the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, without raising the corners of her eyes, she just sensed Bai Su's hesitation to speak, and smiled lightly. "You have been by my side for so many years, and you are closer to me than my son, so there is nothing you can't say."

"Madam doesn't like Mrs. Lin?" Bai Su really wanted to say it in a cryptic manner, but he asked directly when it came to his mouth.

Probably already guessed what she wanted to ask, Mrs. Mu just shook her head, "Mrs. Lin is very good, smart and decisive, and has a lot of skills. She manages the Mu residence in an orderly manner. She is a rare and virtuous woman."

"However, madam still asked the eldest miss to go to Xia family today." Bai Su didn't understand this point, and couldn't read the old madam's thoughts.

Any big family will have backyard disputes, no matter whether it is the master's favor or the power in the backyard, it is the same in the Mu Mansion now, the Lin family is in charge of the backyard power, and the Xia family is in the master's favor. However, the old lady set a fire in it, and made the eldest lady who was originally on Lin's side switch to Xia's side. She really couldn't understand the old lady's game of chess.

"You didn't see it, Liuyun..." Mrs. Mu suddenly put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, tilted her head and recalled something, "Mengxian's status is extremely noble, and the Ji family is very powerful in the capital. The eldest daughter of the family, she is both talented and beautiful, and it stands to reason that such a woman should have been sent to the palace, even if she can't be a queen, she should have the position of noble concubine, but she chose to marry us in the Mu family."

Bai Su nodded. She also knew about this. During that time, Ji's daughter married to a businessman, and the city was full of storms. No one could understand what this lady from a famous family was thinking.

Abandoning the glory and wealth, but in the end the concubine died, no one did not feel pity for her.

"The emperor issued the emperor's decree at the beginning, and wanted to narrow the distance between the court and the merchants, but the court ministers had an irreversible disdain for the merchants, and the emperor's decree became an empty letter. At this time, Meng Xian chose us Mu Family is like a hint from the royal family to the ministers of the court. Even the Ji family will bear the brunt of marrying merchants, so how can others insist on going their own way." In fact, since the daughter of the Ji family married into the Mu Mansion, the relationship between the court and merchants The distance between them suddenly narrowed, the status of merchants increased steadily, more and more imperial merchants entered the imperial court, and the imperial court even gave high positions to many merchants.

"Ma'am, what do you mean is that Miss Ji's marriage is the emperor's intention?" Bai Su frowned. She is a hard-working woman, so she naturally has the same compassion for women. She never thinks that rich girls will be happier, but they are even less free. .

"Originally, marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Mengxian chose our Mu Mansion, and indeed she has the emperor's life, but she may not have thought about herself." At the beginning, the Mu Mansion was not what it is now, nor is it Linyang. The richest man in the city, even Ji Mengxian had a lot of merchants to choose from back then, and many merchants were closely related to the government and the court, but she chose Mufu, a merchant who had little connection with the court.

That woman is smart and sober, knowing her own destiny, but working hard to plan for her own future.

"However, this has nothing to do with the eldest lady. After all, her mother has passed away for many years." Bai Su has always known that the old lady is actually very worried about the fact that Mu Qingyang, the daughter of the Ji family, married Su Xian. After all, she Not in the mansion, and the Mu mansion can only have a concubine to take power because there is no official wife. Such a thing is extremely difficult for her to accept, and it is also a matter that hurts the reputation of the Mu mansion.

"Although we are in Xiangyun Temple, we know everything about Linyang City and Mu Mansion in detail. Do you think Liuyun is different from what we have heard?" Mrs. Mu looked at Bai Su, It's a half-smile.

Bai Su nodded, handed the brewed tea to the old lady, and sat on the other side of the tavern, "It's really different. The eldest lady we knew before coming back had a flamboyant and violent temper, with a domineering temperament, and she would get angry at every turn. She took her temper and vented her anger, but since we returned to the mansion, she has behaved very well, and she is a little different from what we have heard."

"It's not the same, there are two people at all. I'm afraid this girl is not a simple person. She knows how to protect herself, and she is very smart. I just don't know how much her cleverness can make her escape. This time." The secret fight in the mansion of a wealthy family is quite dangerous, even adults may walk on thin ice, let alone such a half-grown child.

"The old lady is going to help the young lady?" Bai Su frowned, why did she feel that the old lady she knew was not such a generous person, she should be someone who was watching the show.

Seeing Bai Su's expression of disbelief, Mrs. Mu burst out laughing, "Bai Su knows me well, of course I won't help, we just stand by and watch, we are all old, but now we are young people The world is over, and besides, I don’t think that girl Liuyun is a fuel-efficient lamp, and she may not be able to defeat Lin Shi. But speaking of it, she can spend five years in Lin’s hands safely, she is not such a simple character.”

Maybe Mrs. Mu misunderstood, thinking that Liu Yun's perverseness in the past was just a smoke bomb to confuse Lin, but she was right in one thing, because Liu Yun is no longer the kind of person who can be bullied without knowing it .

"But Mrs. Xia..." Bai Su frowned. She always felt that she would not be a simple person who has been favored by the master for so many years. Let the young lady approach her, okay?

"Xia's temperament is soft, but very transparent. She is a smart and sober woman, so she can become friends with an outstanding woman like Ji Mengxian." A woman like Ji Mengxian will be overshadowed by anyone standing next to her, except Jealousy, I'm afraid I won't have other thoughts anymore, but the Xia family is different, this is a woman that even Mrs. Mu can't understand, she doesn't have the slightest jealousy, if she is not too deep in the city, then she Really a distressed woman.

"That's why madam wants the eldest miss and Mrs. Xia to get closer?" Bai Su frowned, "But if this is the case, won't Mrs. Lin take any action?"

After all, Mrs. Lin has always been thinking about strengthening the body. Originally, the eldest lady was taken care of by her and was extremely dependent on her, but now the old lady intends to let Mrs. Xia take care of Liuyun. This is a blow to Mrs. Lin, and she is very likely to She would think that the old lady is more optimistic about the Xia family, so that the Mu family, which has been quiet for so many years, may have another fight between concubines.

"Ms. Lin's family background is not good enough. She lacks the generosity that a lady should have. Such a mistress..." The old lady didn't say any more, but Bai Su understood.

"Madam, don't worry, I will send people to keep an eye on Mrs. Lin and Missy." Bai Su smiled, she already understood what Madam said to her so much today, maybe the old lady just thinks that there should be a Maybe the old lady is just a little curious about the eldest lady, and wants to know how brilliant Ji Mengxian's daughter will be.

"Don't make a move until necessary, we'll just watch from the sidelines." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Mu picked up the Buddhist scriptures again and read them with a smile.
