Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 108
After Huo Yuan came, Mrs. Tai suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked in a cold voice: "Master Hou, what do you plan to do with Xiao Su?"

Without waiting for Huo Yuan to reply, she said again: "Little Su is beautiful, I know you can't bear her. But mother is not a hard-hearted person. Since you don't want to divorce her, you demote her to be a concubine. Anyway, she You can't have children, and your family background is not good, so it's just right to be the concubine of an Israeli. Then I will help you choose a good marriage and be your wife, what do you think?"

Huo Yuan heard the words, and said with a faint smile: "Mother was joking. The "Great Qianlu" stipulates, 'Anyone who takes his wife as a concubine shall have a staff of one hundred. If the wife is still alive, those who take a concubine as a wife shall receive a staff of ninety and correct it.' Mother is Do you want your son to be punished? What's more, Xiao Su still has an order on her body, so she can't give it up easily, did mother forget?"

Mrs. Tai snorted coldly and said: "I'm not too old to be confused, so I naturally understand these principles. However, although it is the law, it is not without loopholes. As long as the first wife commits a felony and is deprived of her life, she will be divorced or not." Is demoting a one-word thing? She made a mistake, she should have given up, but if you demote her as a concubine, others will praise you for being affectionate and righteous, so wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone."

Huo Yuan frowned immediately after hearing this, and asked, "Mother, why do you have to target Xiao Su! Besides her background, what's wrong with her?"

"She's not good anywhere!" Tai Furen said angrily, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought about Su Wan, "Not only was she disrespectful to me, she also dared to contradict me face to face, she treated me like a veil, and took my words as a deaf ear, This is fundamentally treasonous and unfilial, shouldn't such a woman be divorced?"

Huo Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. He felt that his mother was indeed prejudiced against Xiao Su, and it was no wonder that Xiao Su's face changed drastically when she mentioned her mother, showing worry and fear.

"Mother, I've already said that I won't divorce Little Su. She hasn't done well, so she can be taught slowly in the future. Why should she give up so often! She is still young and ignorant. The temper is still like a child, can't you be more tolerant and bear with her?"

Mrs. Tai didn't expect Huo Yuan to say these words, she was almost laughed out of anger, and said angrily: "Then what kind of ecstasy soup did Little Su give you to make you so bewitched? Still talking for her now? She is young, you let me take care of her, then who will take care of me? I am the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. "

Seeing Mrs. Tai being so angry, Huo Yuan was afraid that she would get sick from anger, so he quickly said: "Mother, calm down, if you get angry, isn't it your son's fault? Little Su's son has already taught her a lesson, and she will definitely do it in the future." I don’t dare to contradict you anymore. If you really don’t want to see her, you can spare her the morning and evening meditation, out of sight and out of mind, what do you think?”

When Mrs. Tai heard these words, she felt a chill in her heart. She immediately understood that Huo Yuan was determined to protect the little Su family, and her dissatisfaction and hatred for Su Wan increased, but she also knew that if she continued to fight for the If she keeps arguing, it will definitely affect the relationship between the mother and the son. She waved her hands in frustration and said: "Okay, since you have said so, let her be left for now! If she dares to contradict me in the future , I will not be able to forgive her. However, there is still a need for peace of mind, otherwise, how would I know if she has reformed herself? "

Huo Yuan thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, then hesitated a little and said: "Since the death of Mrs. Su, Aunt Wang has been the housekeeper. Now, the Hou Mansion already has a serious mistress, so let her continue to preside over it." It's really inappropriate to give in, how about letting Aunt Wang hand over the housekeeping rights to Xiao Su?"

"What? You actually..." Mrs. Tai's anger that had just subsided suddenly rose again, but she still controlled it and asked, "Is this what you mean, or Xiao Su's?"

Huo Yuan said helplessly: "It's the meaning of the son. Since Xiao Su is already our serious Mrs. Marquis of Changwu, she should naturally have the status and dignity that Mrs. Hou should have. Otherwise, letting a concubine housekeeper, not only Little Su's family is ashamed, and our Hou Mansion is also ashamed."

"No!" Mrs. Tai interrupted him, her attitude was strong and unquestionable, "You don't have to say any more, I absolutely agree with this matter."

Mrs. Tai was resolute, and Huo Yuan had no choice but to find another time to bring up the matter again.

Because this matter was not completed, Huo Yuan felt a little ashamed of Su Wan. After thinking about it, he still said: "In that case, let Aunt Wang be the housekeeper for the time being! It's just that the sealed main courtyard has to be cleaned up no matter what. It’s out. If it’s left unused for a long time, the yard will probably be abandoned, and it will cost a lot of money to repair it in the future. Besides, it’s not easy to get in and out. After it’s tidied up, let Xiao Su live in it!”

Mrs. Tai opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but she didn't say anything, and she acquiesced.

Because Huo Yuan was obviously just informing her, not discussing with her, if she refuted again, she would take Chang Wuhou too seriously.Even though she is the wife of the Hou's mansion and Changwuhou is her son, Changwuhou still has the final say in this mansion.

The two of them took a step back.

The conversation between Mrs. Tai and Huo Yuan ended unhappy.

It didn't take long for the two of them to talk, and everyone in the Hou's Mansion knew that Su Wan was about to move into the Huajin Hall of the main courtyard. The second wife and the third wife were just a little envious and whispered a few words to themselves, while the concubines of Marquis Changwu, It's not a good feeling in my heart.

It was already surprising enough that Lord Hou stayed in Wangqiu Courtyard for most of the day, but now it was even more shocking to let Xiao Su live in Huajin Hall.If there is no Master Hou's handwriting in it, they will not believe what they say.

But, didn't the little Su family almost get divorced?Why did you turn over all of a sudden?What exactly is going on?

All the concubines couldn't figure it out, and they all planned to go to Wangqiu Court tomorrow to find out the truth.

In case that little Su family gets the favor of Lord Hou and moves into Huajintang again, it means that her Madam Hou's status will be stabilized again, and they will not dare to ignore her like this in the future, and they will have to do it every day in the future. Went to say hello.

Among these concubines, none is more annoying than Aunt Wang.

The more secure Su Wan's position was, the more precarious her position became.

In this backyard, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

In the past, she firmly suppressed Xiao Su's family. Her status in the Hou's mansion was better than that of a regular wife. Very satisfied.

But now, Xiao Su's family is gradually getting up.She could see very clearly that Master Hou's attitude towards Xiao Su was always different from others.Today's incident made her even more sure about this matter.With the respect and favor of the Marquis, Xiao Su's position will become more and more stable in the future, and her position will inevitably be greatly threatened. In the end, she will inevitably be reduced to the same status as those concubines.It would be fine if she hadn't tasted the taste of being in power. Once she tasted this taste, how could she be willing to let her return to her original position?
