Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 209: Branch Office (4)
Hearing Mrs. Tai talking about Su Wan, Aunt Wang, as a concubine, consciously lowered her head and did not participate in this topic.

But Hong and Dow didn't have these scruples. After weighing the pros and cons, Dow still didn't want Su Wan to be divorced just like that, so he said, "In the final analysis, Xiao Su is also a victim, and she didn't come out after all. What's more, it's not easy to publicize this matter, so it's better to suppress it like this, as if nothing happened, it's good for us all."

The second wife, Mrs. Hong, retorted: "How can this be done? This kind of thing cannot be suppressed. I think we have to deal with Xiao Su to avoid future troubles. The third younger siblings defend Xiao Su so much because they are afraid After the Lord married a new wife, he took away your housekeeping right?"

Don't look at the fact that the Hong family has flattered Su Wan before, but once her own interests are hurt, she will be the first to want Su Wan to die.

Tao sneered and said, "I'm also thinking about our Marquis Mansion, not for the power of the housekeeper. The second sister-in-law is the one. If you can't manage the house by yourself, don't hurt others. Since I was the housekeeper, how many times have you satirized me in a weird way? Now, I have never bothered with you, who knows that you are getting more and more face. If you refuse to accept, I can give you the right to be the housekeeper, and let you be the housekeeper. "

"Okay, stop arguing, I didn't come here to hear you quarreling here. If you quarrel again, get out!" Mrs. Wang reprimanded.

Dow and Hong stopped.

Mrs. Wang saw them calm down, and said: "Actually, what you said is reasonable. But it has already happened, so we can't pretend that nothing happened, at least we can't turn a blind eye. But for this matter, let Xiao It is unreasonable for Mrs. Su to prove her innocence by death. In my opinion, it is better for us to take a step back and let Mrs. Su take the initiative to give up the position of wife. Entering the mansion as a concubine and giving her a title, we have done our best."

Others thought it was acceptable when they heard this, but Aunt Wang's face was not very good-looking. She didn't want Su Wan to enter the mansion to compete with her, let alone have another regular wife on her head. Compared with this, she would rather Su Wan Continue to stay in Zhuangzi and be her Mrs. Hou. In this way, Hou Ye will not marry a new wife, and Su Wan'er will not come to obstruct her eyes. It is really the best.

"Old lady, isn't that good? My wife may not agree to this proposal." Aunt Wang said.

Mrs. Tai gave her a meaningful look. She naturally knew why Aunt Wang said that, but she had made up her mind and would never allow it to be changed. Besides, Aunt Wang already had a son and a daughter by her side, and now she is pregnant again. With the support of her aunt, even if Lord Hou marries a new wife in the future, he will not be able to suppress her, so why should he be greedy?
Therefore, he said very firmly: "Even if Xiao Su refuses to agree, she must agree. She has only two options, either to enter the mansion as a concubine, or she can only declare her will by death. What do you think will happen to her?" Choice. Even the Dingyuanhou Mansion has nothing to say. If they want to make decisions for Xiao Su and spread the matter, they can only do bad things with good intentions, harm Xiao Su, and let Xiao Su be punished. It will completely ruin our reputation if we criticize it. Otherwise, they can only help us keep our secrets."

Aunt Wang was dumbfounded. Compared with death, it is better to be a concubine, not to mention that Lord Hou loves her so much, even if she is a concubine, she will live a good life.

There is also Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, if it is sincerely for Su Wan's good, it will definitely try to suppress this matter, and will not take the initiative to reveal Su Wan's news in Zhuangzi, so it can only suffer from being dumb.

It's the utmost benevolence for their Hou's mansion to accept Xiao Su's family and take her into the mansion as a concubine. What else can they say?
Moreover, with this reason, even Lord Hou should not object.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang knew that things could not be changed, she sighed slightly in her heart, and then she stopped.

But Aunt Wang felt very happy when she thought that Su Wan would have to make a living under her own hands in the future.

She wants to see if Xiao Su will dare to use her status as a regular wife to suppress her in the future?

Seeing that everyone acquiesced to her words, Mrs. Tai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since everyone does not object, then this matter is settled. Tomorrow, I will ask Mama Liu to go to Zhuangzi and ask Xiao Su's opinion."

Dow also knew that the matter could not be changed, so he gave up and continued to speak for Su Wan, and said with a smile: "Why does the old lady still ask her opinion? She must agree. It's just that we have to arrange for little Su's 'death of illness'." You can’t let people die without warning.”

Mrs. Tai said: "You are right in reminding me. I will leave this matter to you. It must be done properly, so as not to make people suspicious."

She patted her chest and said: "Don't worry, old lady, my daughter-in-law will definitely handle this matter beautifully, and there will be no mistakes."

"Yes, he is capable." Mrs. Tai said, and then she looked at Aunt Wang who was smiling, and said, "After Xiao Su 'died of illness', Master Hou will not marry a wife for at least a year. At that time, you My child was born early. This time, I will definitely keep my eyes open and choose a truly virtuous wife for Master Hou, so that no one will be bullied by the royal family."

When Aunt Wang heard the words, she showed a grateful look, stood up and thanked Mrs. Tai: "Thank you, old lady, my niece understands, but everything should be in the interests of the Marquis. I... feel a little wronged A piece of cake."

Mrs. Wang Tai was very satisfied when she heard the words, and praised: "You really know the general idea."

Afterwards, he said with some doubts: "It's just that there is one more thing. I'm a little concerned. Who are those people who saved Xiao Su's family? Could it be that Lord Hou sent someone to protect her?"

The person she thought of immediately was also Marquis Changwu. After all, she had a deep understanding of Huo Yuan's feelings for Xiao Su, and it was not surprising that Huo Yuan could do such a thing.

Aunt Wang was also a little jealous, but she still smiled and said: "The old lady will know when Lord Hou comes back and ask him, won't she?"

In the afternoon, after Huo Yuansan came back, Mrs. Tai sent someone to find him and told him about it.

When Huo Yuan heard that Su Wan was attacked by bandits, he was shocked at first, and then he felt remorse and fear in his heart. If she had brought Su Wan back earlier, this kind of thing would not have happened.Disturbed in his heart, he immediately got up and went to the Zhuangzi to see Su Wan. He was still worried if he didn't see her safe with his own eyes.

But he was forcibly stopped by Mrs. Tai, who told him directly that Su Wan was fine, so she stopped Huo Yuan from leaving.

After Huo Yuan calmed down, he suddenly thought of what happened in the hall today, and his heart skipped a beat, but he thought that His Majesty could not be so idle, because a little Su family was furious at the eldest princess of Shouning, so he didn't think much about it. I didn't connect these two things, and missed an opportunity to understand the truth of the matter.
