Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 224 Marriage (2)
Su Wan responded softly.

Today Lingbi Marquis Xiumu, but Su Wan didn't have time to pay a visit because she was out on business, so naturally she also pays a visit now.

Lingbi Hou Tang Shilong was in his 40s, and he was also mighty and tall, with a dark complexion and a cold face all the time, which made him very scary.

However, after going through so many things, Su Wan's mood and courage have been tempered long ago, so naturally she would not be afraid, and saluted him generously.

Tang Shilong saw that Su Wan was not like his sons and daughters, he was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him. Here, treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained."

Su Wanfu should be.

After Tang Shilong said a few more words to Su Wan, he left instead of eating here.

Mrs. Lingbihou didn't want to keep him, and let him go.After a while, several daughters-in-law and daughters of Mrs. Lingbihou also came, and even several of her very young grandchildren also came.

The main courtyard suddenly became lively.

Mrs. Shizi and the others don't usually eat here.But when the guests came, it was to clean up the dust for the guests, so I stayed for dinner today.

However, they seldom move their chopsticks, and most of them are serving Madam Lingbihou, greeting Su Wan, and taking care of the very young children.Until the end of dinner, Su Wan didn't see them eating a few mouthfuls, presumably there will be extra meals when they go back.

After dinner, everyone chatted and laughed for a while before they gradually dispersed.

Su Wan also returned to the Baosha behind to rest.

Mrs. Yu, the wife of the Marquis of Lingbi returned to her residence, she couldn't help showing a tired look on her face, and when the maids had prepared her dinner, she didn't move her chopsticks, and waved them down, only to her nanny Li Ma who stayed behind. Mo said: "Mom, do you think the wife will let the cousin girl be the second wife for the son?"

"This..." Nanny Li hesitated for a moment. This is really possible, but she still comforted her with a good word: "I guess not! That cousin girl is a hard-nosed person, no matter how much my wife loves her, she probably won't." Take the life of the son as a joke."

"Why not? You haven't seen how the wife treats that cousin girl. It's better than her own son. She sends all good things to her. The wife also said that she would find a good marriage for her. She also didn't think about it, how could the cousin girl come from such a humble family background, and she was a widow, how could she find any good family, and the wife was reluctant to match her with someone casually, so she must have her own ideas."

Speaking of this, he also snorted coldly, and continued: "So, the best way is to give the cousin to the son as the second wife. The son is so filial, even for his wife's sake, he will treat the cousin well. What's more , and Su Wan'er looks so good, how could the Master not favor her? If she gives birth to a son in the future, how can there be my place in the Marquis's Mansion?"

Nanny Li's complexion also changed, but she still said: "Our lord is not the kind of person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife. Even if the cousin really becomes the second wife of the lord, the most important thing of the lord is still you, the girl."

But Yu frowned and said: "I know that my son will not spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, but there is no guarantee that someone will not sow discord and make him alienate me and despise me. At that time, don't I want to be like that short-lived Changwu?" Mrs. Hou is just like a puppet?"

When mentioning Mrs. Chang Wuhou, Mrs. Yu said curiously: "I heard from Mrs. Wu that Biao girl looks very similar to Mrs. Chang Wuhou. The stepwife Su's boudoir name is also Wan'er, which is a surprising coincidence."

"Sure enough, the world is so big, there are no surprises." Nanny Li showed a look of surprise, and then asked: "But, the girl doesn't think they are the same person, does she?"

Yu Shi naturally didn't believe it, and couldn't help but smiled slightly when he heard the words: "I just think it's a coincidence." Changwuhou Mansion would never make such a joke, otherwise, it would be too absurd.

Mother Li wanted to say again: "Since the girl is so worried, why don't you take the initiative to arrange a marriage for the cousin girl. If you can find a good family for her, the wife will definitely not make such a bad move."

Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded slightly.

From then on, Mrs. Yu paid more attention to Su Wan's marriage than Mrs. Lingbihou. Of course, this is a story for later.

After Su Wan came to the Marquis of Lingbi's mansion, she stayed there honestly for a few days, and she didn't dare to go out for a run and exercise. She only did yoga in her room.Every day, I go to Mrs. Lingbihou's place to sit, and then write, embroider and so on. Occasionally, two young ladies from the Houfu come to visit her, chatting, playing chess, and strolling around the garden.

Because Mrs. Lingbihou loved her very much, the servants did not dare to neglect her too much.What's more, Su Wan is not a temperament that can take anger. If she is really made things difficult by her servants, she will not bear it and tell Yu Shi directly.

Mrs. Yu was afraid that Madam Lingbihou would blame her, so she really didn't dare to show favoritism and did not spare that person lightly. After such an example, even if the servants of Lingbihou's mansion looked down on Su Wan's background in private, they did not dare to slack off her orders.

Su Wan also has a monthly allowance, just like those ladies, it is two taels of silver, and she has a share of everything.This is only on the surface, but in private, Mrs. Lingbihou often subsidizes Su Wan, giving her a share of all good things first, which is much better for her than those concubines and daughter-in-laws.

A few days after Su Wan came to Lingbihou's Mansion, she officially left her filial piety.

When taking off filial piety, sacrifices are required, altars must be arranged, and tablets of deceased relatives must be placed in front of the altar, incense and candles should be burned, fruit offerings and sacrifices should be placed, and monks and Taoists should be asked to chant scriptures to "do meritorious deeds". Gold and silver paper fire and so on to pay tribute.

After taking off the clothes, Su Wan can resume her normal life.

Coincidentally, Su Wan's clothes were also made by the embroiderers of the Hou Mansion, so Su Wan didn't have to wear plain clothes.

Madam Lingbihou ordered the goldsmith to make several sets of jewelry for Su Wan.In order to fear that other people would be dissatisfied and say that she was too eccentric, they gave some jewelry to the female family members of the Hou Mansion.

After Su Wan got rid of her clothes, Mrs. Lingbihou planned to take Su Wan out for social activities. If she didn't show Su Wan, how would others know that she was good, and how could they find Mr. Right?

However, Mrs. Lingbihou hasn't gone out to socialize for a long time, and she is too old. If it is not necessary, she will never go out, especially after Mrs. Shizi enters the house. Most of the social interactions are her business, so it is not as good as Yu's It is more convenient to take her out.What's more, Mrs. Yu is reliable in handling affairs and is very active in Su Wan's affairs. She even volunteered to take Su Wan out. Madam Lingbi Hou thought about it, and agreed, and asked someone to call Su Wan over.

When Su Wan came, she saw Mrs. Lingbihou and Mrs. Shizi looking at her with smiles. After paying her respects, Mrs. Lingbihou beckoned Su Wan to come over and let her sit next to her, saying, "Wan'er, tomorrow is Huaiqing's birthday." You are ready to prepare for the hundred-day banquet of the eldest princess's eldest grandson, and attend it with your sister-in-law."
