Houmen's step-wife

212 Chapter 2 Like Joy and Sadness ([-])
Su Wan asked her to sit on the kang in Dongci Room, and then asked someone to serve her tea, and then said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll just tell you slowly."

"You are going to give up Madam Changwuhou's seat, how can I not be in a hurry?" Chen Yaqin said anxiously, ignoring the tea.

However, seeing Su Wan's quiet smile, she finally calmed down and said, "Okay, tell me, I'm all ears."

"Sister, we have to start from the past few days..." Su Wan calmly explained what happened in the past few days, including the attitude of the Marquis of Changwu Mansion, and her suspicion that the eldest princess of Shouning had attacked her. , and said it in detail, except that it didn't say who the person protecting her was.

Chen Yaqin didn't even have time to ask, she was already stunned by what Su Wan said, and following what Su Wan said, the expression on her face kept changing, shock, fear, and anger.

In the end, she didn't know what came to her mind, and she suddenly showed a sense of enlightenment, and murmured: "No wonder... no wonder His Majesty scolded Princess Shouning for coming to the court that day. Is this the reason?"

After Emperor Xiande reprimanded the eldest princess in the court that day, everyone was guessing why the eldest princess annoyed His Majesty, so that His Majesty became so angry, Dingyuan Hou Mansion was naturally very grateful for it Interesting, but it's a pity that I didn't find anything in the end, and I didn't dare to search further. Unexpectedly, I heard the truth of the matter from Su Wan.

But then, she felt something was wrong.If it's just for this matter, isn't Emperor Xian De making a big deal out of a molehill?In other words, is it a little indistinguishable?
It's not that she looks down on her younger sister, but that in the eyes of the emperor, compared with his own emperor's aunt, the wife of an important minister can be seen at a glance.

Besides, His Majesty is not someone who likes to meddle in other people's business. He can't take care of state affairs, so how can he care about such personal matters of revenge and revenge?Even if you know, you won't interfere.

Which big family doesn't have any dirty things, can His Majesty just take care of it?

What's more, people have relatives and estrangements, some selfishness is understandable, elbows are turned inward, even if Princess Shouning sent someone to assassinate Mrs. Gaoming, as long as it doesn't leak out, who would dare to do anything to her?There was no need for Emperor Xiande to go to war with the Eldest Princess for the sake of a courtier's wife, who was also an official wife whose status was not obvious and who was not liked by her husband's family.

Unless, Emperor Xiande himself was dissatisfied with Princess Shouning, so he beat her with an excuse.

Come to think of it, that's the only reason.

Su Wan is far away in the suburbs and has no sources of news. Naturally, she doesn't know what happened in the capital. When she heard Chen Yaqin's words, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Sister, what are you talking about? Princess Shouning... What's wrong?"

"Why, sister, don't you know?" Chen Yaqin was a little surprised. The news about the eldest princess of Shouning was widely spread, but thinking that Su Wan had been staying in Zhuangzi in the suburbs, she might not have a chance to know. She sighed lightly, and followed She explained: "After my sister was attacked here, on the second day, the Holy Majesty warned everyone at the court meeting to take good care of the family members and clan members, not to bully the weak, exploit the huge profits, disregard human life, etc. In fact, it was aimed at the eldest princess of Shouning. Afterwards, Princess Shouning moved out of the British government and returned to her own mansion. She originally wanted her grandson to read with the eldest prince, but His Majesty replied with a word. Rumor has it that Princess Shouning has completely lost her favor, and I'm afraid she will be a man with her tail between her legs in the future."

There was a bit of gloating in Chen Yaqin's tone, obviously she also disliked Princess Shouning, and she was happy to see her success.

After Su Wan heard this, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Chen Yaqin said happily again: "It's also fortunate that His Majesty is also dissatisfied with the eldest princess of Shouning, so he used this matter to warn the eldest princess, otherwise, even if my sister suffers a great grievance, she will have nowhere to complain. , I can't do anything with the eldest princess, I can only swallow the bitterness in my stomach, let alone someone who will make decisions for my sister. From this point of view, my sister is blessed. Only Changwuhou's mansion is blind, That's why I mistook Mingzhu for a fish eye and spoiled my sister like this."

After speaking, there was already a bit of anger and resentment on his face.

Su Wan smiled and said: "Sister, they look down on me, I still don't want to stay in their house! But, if you want me to be a concubine, it's absolutely impossible, even if I hit my head to death, I won't go back It's ridiculous that I have slept with him for so long, and he still doesn't understand me."

Chen Yaqin had already raised her eyebrows, and said: "The Marquis of Changwu's mansion is simply deceiving people too much. I think they are so unscrupulous because they see that their sister dare not speak up about it. They can do such things as demoting a wife into a concubine. They What else can't be done? Sister, as long as you are willing, no matter what, our Dingyuanhou Mansion will vent this anger for you, keep your position as the first wife, and make their plan come to nothing. I don't believe it, if we decide The Yuanhou Mansion is backing you, and they dare to do this!"

Su Wan shook her head slightly and said: "No, sister, so what if I keep the position of the first wife, I still have to live under their noses and suffer all kinds of hardships. If that's the case, why should I stay? Why do I have to stay here? Hanged on this crooked neck tree in their house? I can live a good life myself."

Chen Yaqin is just not reconciled to Su Wan being bullied so far. In her opinion, maintaining her own status is the most important thing, and everything else is false. Therefore, she has been unwilling to let Su Wan leave Changwuhou Mansion.What's more, with the support of Dingyuanhou's Mansion and the Empress Dowager in the future, the Changwuhou's mansion would not dare to belittle Su Wan anymore.

However, now that Su Wan has made up her mind, she can't persuade her anymore, she just asked worriedly: "But sister, don't say that the Marquis of Changwu will not let you go easily, even if you leave in the future, how will you deal with yourself in the future?" ?The Marquis of Changwu will never allow you to be carefree outside, you are afraid that you will have to live under their noses for the rest of your life, so they will feel at ease. Even if my younger sister wants to remarry in the future, I am afraid she will not be able to."

Su Wan shook her head with a smile and said, "Sister, when Mrs. Marquis of Changwu dies of illness, I will no longer exist in this world. The Marquis of Changwu wants to change my appearance and enter the Marquis's mansion as a concubine. I definitely won't." Agree. But I will live with a brand-new identity. Since I am no longer from the Marquis of Changwu, why should they meddle in my affairs?"

Su Wan spoke very firmly and confidently, with a trace of ease, smiled slightly, and continued: "The people in the Marquis of Changwu's Mansion would not recognize my identity, otherwise, wouldn't it be self-sufficient? The last book of historical reference, at a small scale, is demoting a wife to a concubine, or stopping a wife and remarrying, at a high level, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and they can’t afford it even if the censor’s saliva will spray them to death So, they can only suffer from being dumb. Besides, whether to marry or not is not very important to me, I just want to live a peaceful life."
