Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 14 Anecdote
Su Wan smiled faintly, "Knowing your mistakes can make things better. Aunt Wang is too serious."

Seeing Su Wan's reaction, Mrs. Tai nodded secretly. It seems that she really saw her position clearly, which is very good.

But for some reason, Su Wan's attitude made Aunt Wang feel very depressed, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only stand aside sullenly.

Mrs. Tai respects the rules, and there is no seat for her here.

"Aunt Wang, in a few days, our Hou's mansion will welcome some charming guests. You should sort out some guest rooms in advance, so don't neglect them." Mrs. Tai suddenly said to Aunt Wang who was secretly angry.

"Yes, I know about it." Aunt Wang came back to her senses and said with a bow.After a pause, he asked with some hesitation: "Dare to ask the old lady, who are the distinguished guests who are coming?"

"You will know when the time comes." Mrs. Tai obviously didn't want to say more, she didn't seem to take these guests seriously, but she didn't want to neglect them, it was really strange.

Aunt Wang said again: "Old lady, eighteenth is the birthday of Mrs. Hou Tai of Jinxiang. I have already prepared the birthday gift. I can only send it to you after you have seen it."

As he spoke, he handed a gift slip to Mrs. Tai with both hands.

Mrs. Tai squinted her eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "I don't worry about your work. I'll let someone deliver the birthday gift in a while!" She was still very sure of Aunt Wang's ability.

Only then did Aunt Wang get rid of the disappointment just now, and she regained her spirits. She was affirmed by Mrs. Tai, and she even glanced at Su Wan with a smile.

So what if Su Wan'er is the main wife?Isn't she in control of the inner house of the Hou Mansion?

At this time, I heard Mrs. Tai say to Su Wan: "Mrs. Su, don't forget to go to Jinxiang Hou's Mansion to celebrate Mrs. Tai's birthday in person the day after tomorrow. Give her three points of thin noodles, absolutely not to be taken lightly, and you don't want to disgrace our Changwuhou Mansion."

"Yes." Su Wan replied respectfully, but she was a little excited in her heart. After being here for half a month, she can finally go out and have a look.Maybe, she can take this opportunity to go home.

In view of Su Wan's performance in the past half month, Mrs. Tai didn't let Su Wan follow the rules and let her go back after the meal was set.

When Su Wan returned to Wangqiu Courtyard, she started to have breakfast, but found that the dishes for breakfast today were more than two grades higher than before, the ingredients were fresher, and the taste was just right. There was even a small bowl of Jianlian red dates Tang, this is something that has never happened before, which surprised Su Wan.

Hung Hom, who took the initiative to serve her today, explained with a smile: "What's so strange about this? Master Hou came to his wife's room last night, and that villain in the mansion, who plays tricks on the wind, of course wants to fight for flattery." I'm flattering my wife. Besides, after all, my wife is the wife of the main house of the Hou Mansion, and she may be a housekeeper someday, so of course they don't dare to be negligent. Besides, this is the treatment that a wife should have!"

In the past, when the wife wanted to cook something in the kitchen, they pushed back and forth. Although the daily meals were served as usual, there were too many tricks to play in it.Seriously speaking, the big girls around the young lady all eat better than the wife!What's more, they often order food, and those people in the kitchen are not so considerate.

Not to mention the eldest lady, even Aunt Wang, no one dares to neglect her.

Su Wan understood that there is no shortage of this kind of people who push the high and step down, and follow the wind to make the rudder.Seeing whoever gains power, he goes up to flatter him, and sees who loses power, he can't wait to step on his feet.However, because the rules of the Hou Mansion are quite strict, these people did not dare to go too far, so Su Wan's role was not skipped.Otherwise, her life will be even more difficult.

This time, it was just a small temptation.If Master Hou continued to come to her yard tonight, it would prove that she had not fallen out of favor, and those people would probably be even more attentive than today.If Master Hou didn't come, then she might return to her original shape tomorrow.

Only when Lord Hou takes her seriously, the servants of Hou's mansion dare not belittle her.

Thinking about this clearly, Su Wan smiled wryly in her heart, her appetite suddenly diminished after being aroused.

It is difficult to be a woman, and it is even more difficult to be a woman in this era.

She has no money, no power, and no special ability or means. What else can she do besides relying on men?Otherwise, even if she changed her soul, she wouldn't be able to change anything.

As long as His Royal Highness the eldest princess gives an order, she can die quietly in the backyard, and no one will even pursue her.It's not that Su Wan has persecution paranoia, but because she thinks she won't be a puppet at ease, which will definitely anger Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

In order to avoid this situation, she can only slowly increase her bargaining chips. Maybe when she is truly recognized by the Hou Mansion and becomes the real mistress of the Changwu Hou Mansion, they will be cautious and dare not treat her wantonly. start.

She also didn't ask Marquis Changwu to fight against the British government for herself, because that's really unrealistic. She only hoped that when the eldest princess wanted to deal with her, he could protect her, then her goal had been achieved. .

"Madam, hurry up and eat, or the food will be cold." Lu Fu reminded Su Wan worriedly when she saw that Su Wan was not in the right mood.

Su Wan nodded, and then continued to eat.

However, after all, it is still used a little less than usual, and the rest is left to the red silk to decide.

"Lu Fu, tell me about the situation of the Marquis of Jinxiang Mansion!" Only Su Wan and Lu Fu were left in the Xici room. After learning that she was going to the Marquis of Jinxiang Mansion the day after tomorrow, Su Wan thought Do more homework, lest you have time to make a fool of yourself.

Although she has been married for nearly a year, she actually has very few serious interpersonal relationships, usually the second and third wives do it for her.Unless forced to, she will not be allowed to come forward.

For example, this time Mrs. Hou Tai of Jinxiang celebrates her birthday, so she, a serious Mrs. Hou, needs to go there in person.

Both the British government and the Marquis of Changwu were suppressing her, unwilling to let her stand out, and the Marquis of Changwu didn't even ask for an imperial order for her.

She is a stepmother, even if she is not as good as her original partner's Super Grade, she will still have a second or third grade.However, after marrying into the Hou's mansion for a year, she didn't even see a shadow of her.

As a former maid of the British government, Lufu is quite familiar with the noble family in the capital. After serving Su Wan hot tea, she said: "Ma'am, the Marquis of Jinxiang is different from our Marquis of Changwu. We The Marquis of Changwu has the iron certificate of Dan Shu, which is hereditary. However, the mansion of the Marquis of Jinxiang has only been hereditary for three generations. Your majesty's wet nurse is the stepmother."

After hearing this, Su Wan immediately became interested, she couldn't help but put down the tea cup, and looked at Lufu intently.

"This Mrs. Tai of Jinxiang Hou's Mansion can be regarded as a strange person. She was born in a humble family, but because of the luck of the Wangfuwang family, she married into a rich merchant's family. Unfortunately, she has been infertile for many years. Finally, she had a child, but it was a girl. As a result, the child was divorced by her husband's family before the full moon. She was desperate, and originally wanted to commit suicide. Who knew that by chance, she was lucky enough to be selected as the four wet nurses of His Majesty one."
