Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 138
Mrs. Zhao coughed a few times, and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law Fang, get up first."

"If my wife doesn't agree, this old slave will kneel and die here, and never get up again." Aunt Fang cried.

"If she really is Sister Wan, I will naturally help you speak up, but... But she is not Sister Wan at all, what should I say?" Zhao said in embarrassment.

"Madam, didn't Zen Master Liaotong say that a young lady is a young lady, not evil spirits. Qiaoling was also forced to say that. Now that the truth is revealed, why don't you believe it, Madam?" Aunt Fang said, wiping her tears.

"But..." Mrs. Zhao hesitated, "But, she is obviously different from the previous Sister Wan?"

"People change. What's more, Miss married to the extremely wealthy Changwuhou Mansion, so her personality and way of dealing with things must be different from before. Even you, my wife, will definitely be different after you get married. Besides, Miss is so filial. You, how could she not be your daughter!" In order to save Qiaoling, Aunt Fang tried her best to speak up for Su Wan.

However, even if Su Wan knew it, she probably wouldn't thank her.

Zhao's heart was already a little shaken, but now she was shaking even more. She looked at Chunlan and Chunyan at the side, and asked, "Do you think Mrs. Changwuhou is my sister Wan?"

Chunlan and the two looked at each other, Chunlan hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "From my servant's point of view, Miss is Miss, not Xie Chong. How could Xie Chong treat Madam so well?"

Chunyan also said: "That's right, because of my wife's illness, Miss has spent countless thoughts. Not only did she ask us to take care of her, but she also gave us thousands of orders not to let us treat her poorly. She even invited a famous doctor to come , if she is not a young lady, who would be? The young lady is so dedicated to the wife, why does the wife still doubt the young lady?"

Both of them were sent to Mrs. Zhao after being trained by Su Wan herself. From the beginning, they didn't believe that Su Wan was evil. At this time, they naturally tried their best to speak up for her.

Zhao's face was a little dazed, she also remembered what Su Wan had done to her, and she believed in her heart that she was not evil, but, after all, she still didn't completely trust her, and couldn't treat her like before.

"Madam?" Aunt Fang called out to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses, sighed softly, and said, "Get up, I... I'll just tell her."

Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they stood up after thanking them thousands of times.In their view, the young lady is so filial to the wife, as long as the wife speaks, there will be no objection.

Mrs. Zhao also doesn't think that Su Wan will reject her. After all, she knows that Su Wan treats her well. However, she doesn't know how to face Su Wan now. She feels very awkward. She always feels that if she treats her too well , I feel sorry for my own daughter.In other words, deep down in her heart, she still didn't believe in Su Wan.

Su Wan didn't know that Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards her had changed. Now, she was at Mrs. Tai's place, watching everyone surround Huo Qingyin to congratulate her.

That's right, Huo Qingyin finally got the imperial decree and became a member of the emperor's harem as she wished. Although she was only the lowest lady, she was several levels behind Guo Changxi, but she was very happy. This starting point was finally better than the palace ladies .

But after being excited, she was a little dissatisfied, feeling that her status was too low.But after thinking about it, she felt that with Su Wan's ability, it was not bad to be able to do this, so she put aside this point of dissatisfaction and completely immersed herself in the excitement.

"I knew that with Miss Qingyin's appearance and talent, she would definitely be valued by His Majesty. You see, I'm not wrong!" The third wife Tao Shi surrounded Huo Qingyin, flattering her face with joy.

Others also echoed one after another, and you almost praised Huo Qingyin to the sky with each sentence.

Even the young ladies in Hou's mansion cast envious eyes on Huo Qingyin.

Only Mrs. Tai felt a little strange, thinking that the edict came too abruptly, and it was so many days later than Guo Changxi.She had already agreed with Empress Xian that Huo Qingyin would be allowed to enter the palace as a maid in the next few days, and then she would be promoted to be a female official and serve her in the Yonghe Palace. At that time, Empress would let her do whatever she wanted Serve bed.

Unexpectedly, the decree from the palace was issued one step faster than them, and although it saved them some trouble, Mrs. Tai always felt that it was a bit too abrupt, because before that, they had not received any news .

Fortunately, her surname is also Huo, and her favor is always better than that of others, so it is not bad to use her to compete with Guo Changxi for favor.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.

Su Wan sat at the side drinking tea with a calm expression, watching from the sidelines, not going up to join in the fun.

However, someone just refused to let her go.

The third wife Tao Shi had long been dissatisfied when she saw Huo Qingyin getting close to Su Wan. Now that she saw Su Wan staying out of the matter, she couldn't help ridiculing her: "It's a great event for Miss Qingyin to enter the palace. Why is Madam acting so indifferent?" , does the wife not want Qingyin to enter the palace at all? This is too unkind, Miss Qingyin treats you so well, why does the wife not see her being kind to you? This makes Miss Qingyin feel so chilling!"

Huo Qingyin also glanced at Su Wan when she heard the words, seeing that Su Wan's expression was really calm.She knew something about Su Wan and His Majesty. Although Su Wan helped her, she must not be very comfortable in her heart. It is not impossible to be jealous of her entering the palace to accompany her, so her expression became a little bit understand.

But at this time, she didn't want to offend Su Wan too much, maybe she would be useful, so she took the initiative to defend her and said: "The third wife is joking, I believe the wife definitely doesn't mean it, she is also thinking about me in her heart I'm happy, but I'm not good at expressing it."

"Miss Qingyin is more generous." Tao Shi glanced at Su Wan, then at Huo Qingyin, and said eccentrically.

For people like Tao Shi, Su Wan has always been too lazy to talk to her. The more she talks to her, the more she gets excited. If she doesn't talk to her, she finds it boring, so naturally she doesn't talk about it.

When Su Wan was about to leave, Aunt Wang suddenly said, "Madam, wait a minute, I almost forgot one thing."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Tai asked.

Aunt Wang smiled and said to Mrs. Tai: "Old lady, two days ago, Dingyuan Hou Deng's family sent an invitation card, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi invited his wife to Dingyuan Hou's mansion to participate in the peony flower banquet tomorrow! I am too old for the past two days. I was busy, so I didn't notice this matter, and I hope my wife won't blame me."

When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Su Wan.

Dingyuanhou's mansion is the founding hero of the country. It used to be the Duke of Wei, but later became the Marquis of Dingyuan after being demoted to the noble. They all guarded the border with Marquis Dingyuan, and those who stayed behind at home were not troublemakers. Even the wives and ladies rarely went out except for necessary socializing.
