Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 265 Reaction (2)
On the stage in front of the hall, "A Thousand Golds" was being sung, about the struggle between Chu and Han, and the story of Han Xin. At this time, they happened to see the scene where Han Xin was humiliated. Filled with righteous indignation, even Mrs. Wang, even though she had already seen the play, couldn't help sighing: "General Han, the hero of the world, should be insulted by such villains, it's really embarrassing. However, in my opinion, General Han is not timid, but wise."

Tao Shi heard it from the side, and couldn't help but complimented with a smile: "The old lady is absolutely right. If there is no such humiliation, Han Xin may not have any future achievements. According to me, if General Han is a bit cruel , may not necessarily kill the butcher and these evil young men, but he chose to endure the humiliation of his crotch, which is beyond the reach of human beings."

"The old lady is still amazing. She can tell so many truths after watching a play. We can be taught."

Others also joined in the fun and complimented her. Mrs. Tai was very happy when she heard that, and the smiles on her face grew more and more.

Aunt Wang is also next to her. She has been pregnant for almost seven months now, and her belly is already very big. She thinks that the fetus is well-fed, and it is not the first time she is pregnant, but she is also so nervous. After so long, I was already bored, so I followed to watch the play.

At this time, he also said: "It is said that there is an old lady in a family, such as a treasure, and now it seems that it is true. The old lady is the pillar of our house, and the peace of mind. As long as the old lady is well, we will feel at ease, as if there is nothing to be afraid of. "

Others responded one after another, and the complimenting Mrs. Tai became more and more happy, and suddenly felt that she was still the same old lady who said nothing.

Just when everyone was beaming, Sun Hongming, the chief steward of the outer court, suddenly asked to see him.

Hearing the girl's report, the smiles on everyone's faces could not help but pause.

Madam Wang restrained her smile a little, and asked, "What happened to make Butler Sun come over in person?"

Steward Sun is Nanny Sun's son.

At this time, Nanny Sun was also beside her. Hearing this, she couldn't help but have a trace of worry on her face, because she knew her son very well, and she would never make a fuss over a trivial matter. Something big must have happened.

Just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Madam Wang thought for a while and said, "Let her in!"

There are so many people present, and they are the housekeepers of the family, so the female relatives don't have to avoid it.

Sun Hongming seemed to be only in his thirties, with good looks, and usually very calm and capable, so the position of chief housekeeper fell to him, but at this moment, his expression looked a little shocked and flustered.

After he came in, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings to the old lady."

Madam Wang already realized that something was wrong, she couldn't help but straightened up from the couch, and hurriedly asked: "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

At this moment, apart from the babbling and babbling opera on the stage outside, the needle drop could be heard quietly in the flower hall, no one spoke at all, and they all stared at Sun Hongming.

Sun Hongming didn't dare to look up, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew the inside story, or rather, everyone present knew the inside story. He couldn't imagine how much shock it would cause if he told the truth.
However, he couldn't help but say so, so he still knelt on the ground and said with some difficulty: "Old lady, just now, the Lingbihou Mansion received an imperial edict from His Majesty."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tai immediately stood up from the couch, with a look of shock and nervousness, because she had almost guessed the answer, but she still asked with a little luck: " Who is the edict for? What does it say?"

The others were not much better than her, and they looked at Sun Hongming in surprise.

Sun Hongming broke the jar and said directly: "The imperial decree is for Mrs. Lingbihou's niece, Mrs. Su..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Tai's face turned pale all of a sudden, she reached out to cover her chest, her face was already distorted, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Could it be that she is going to be taken into the palace?"

Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Who knows, Sun Hongming hastily denied it: "No, it's not."

"No?" Mrs. Tai paused slightly when she heard the words, and her face softened a lot. She was happy but couldn't believe it, and murmured: "I knew it, it was definitely not the intention to take her into the palace and become a concubine. How could she So lucky? Is everyone in the palace capable of being a concubine?"

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't the intention of entering the palace, everything would be fine.

Aunt Wang even smiled and said: "Sun Butler, you really scared us to death. Since you are not going to enter the palace, why are you so panicked? We are also worried."

Tao Shi also said: "That's right, Steward Sun, you have always been steady, why are you becoming more and more impatient? We don't care, what if the old lady is surprised?"

Grandma Sun also looked at her son with disapproving eyes.

"Okay, don't blame him, maybe there is something really important." Mrs. Wang managed to catch her breath, and sat down again to persuade him, but she didn't let Butler Sun get up, she just asked Said: "Tell me, what is going on."

Sun Hongming moved the corner of his mouth, and said bitterly: "Go back to the old lady, Mrs. Su... Mrs. Su was granted the first-class Mrs. Chu, and was also given a gold seal, a mansion, a hundred hectares of fertile land, gold and silver..."

"What?!" Before he finished speaking, his words were abruptly interrupted by Mrs. Tai.

At this time, Mrs. Wang Tai's complexion was ten times and a hundred times uglier than before. A pair of slightly cloudy eyes stared at Sun Hongming, as if she wanted to eat him, and said through gritted teeth: "Mrs. Chu? How is this possible?" ?How can it be……"

If this enters the palace, wouldn't she be on an equal footing with the fourth concubine?

What's more, she still has the favor that the four concubines don't have. If... if she slanders the emperor, wouldn't they Changwuhou Mansion want to...

When Madam Wang thought of this, her heart suddenly shrank, and there was a piercing pain, she actually covered her chest with one hand, and fainted with a livid face.

Tao Shi had just recovered from disbelief, when he suddenly saw that he had fainted, he couldn't help being shocked, and immediately leaned over and shouted: "Old lady... old lady...wake up... come here, old lady Fainted, please go to the imperial physician..."

There was a sudden panic in the hall, but because everyone was overly frightened, they hadn't fully regained their senses at the moment. They were not as orderly as usual.

Aunt Wang was also panicked, not only panicked when she heard the news, but also the fact that Mrs. Tai fainted made her panic completely.

She knew very well in her heart that Mrs. Tai was her backer in the Hou Mansion. If she died, her status in the Hou Mansion would definitely not be as good as before. What's more, she just heard the news that Su Wan was named Mrs. Chu, My mind was shocked, and my heart was suddenly terrified.She is actually more afraid than Mrs. Tai. Whoever made Su Wan leave was planned by her alone?She felt that Su Wan must hate herself to death, and she would never let her go.
