Concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 96 Conspiracy unfolds within a play (1)
Since there are many people?Oh, it's really funny.

Mengdie watched the old lady and the second aunt sing the oboe with cold eyes, thinking it was just watching a play and passing the time.

Second auntie glanced at Mengdie lightly at this moment, her eyes flickering.

This cheap hoof is really weird, if she is allowed to follow, maybe it will be a bad thing!No, I still have to find a way to keep her, anyway, even if she wasn't there, she couldn't get rid of it!
Therefore, the second aunt said worriedly: "Auntie, although the more people there are, the better, but there must be a master in the inner court, otherwise, what kind of moths will happen to those slaves! Qing'er looks like a sister. I was quite scared, and it would be better to go to the temple to worship together, but now my younger sister is in charge of Zhongshi...how about this, let Die Er stay and take care of my younger sister temporarily, what does the old lady think?"

The old lady glanced at her with some doubts, but she nodded in agreement and said, "That's fine."

The second aunt pursed her lips and smiled lightly, then turned to ask the third aunt: "What does my sister think?"

how do you feelThe old lady agreed, what else could she say!Third Aunt thought resentfully.

It wasn't that she held onto power and refused to let it go, and she couldn't even trust her own daughter, but that she had a faint feeling that Second Auntie was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt a little uneasy in her heart.Another point is that because Mengdie was in danger the day before yesterday, she also wanted her daughter to go with her to worship and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

But Second Aunt now mentions it like this...

San Yiniang frowned slightly, looked at Meng Die worriedly and said: "Die Er is still young, and has never been in touch with a housekeeper, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry about this younger sister. According to my opinion, Die'er is very smart. With a few experienced mothers in charge to help with advice, she will definitely be able to do well! Besides, Die'er is probably going to marry into Prince Qing's residence soon. It's good to learn a little bit earlier, there is no princess in Prince Qing's mansion yet, so she will have to take care of it temporarily after she gets married."

"You..." Third Aunt was so angry that her chest was filled with gloom.

What does Second Aunt mean by this?It's not a smile, it doesn't sound like irony but it's really harsh.Isn't she just reminding Mengdie and San Yiniang that even if Mengdie marries into Prince Qing's Mansion, she is just a concubine!What is a concubine?No matter how favored she is, once she has a head mistress, she, a concubine, can only abdicate and hand over power, and be oppressed by the mistress to linger on!Of course, it is not known whether there is any insinuation and satire on San Yiniang in this.

So, the third aunt was angry, but Mengdie was happy.

This second aunt is really interesting, how can she be as virtuous as that unruly princess?Princess Diaoman couldn't escape the word 'shu' herself, but she tried her best to ridicule her as a concubine.And the second aunt herself is a concubine, but she can still say such a thing, she can't really regard herself as the wife of the main house, right?

Hmm... It is estimated that the second aunt was mad with anger, and she couldn't choose what to say, or she was suffering from paranoia.

Well, normal people don't care about lunatics, wasting saliva and expressions.

"Third auntie don't have to worry about Die'er, just follow the second auntie's suggestion. It just so happens that Die'er also has this idea. It's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to practice yourself." After a pause, Mengdie revealed to third auntie With a meaningful smile, he said: "Three aunts, go to the temple to worship in peace of mind, Die'er is here for everything."

Third Yiniang was slightly taken aback, but after all, it was mother and daughter who bonded over each other, and soon she tasted this pun, and smiled happily: "Okay, let's do it this way, I will explain something to you later."

On the side, the old lady and the second aunt looked at each other, and exchanged a look that only they could understand.

After coming out of the old lady's Fushou residence, Mengdie went to Qinghe Garden with San Yiniang. The two of them sat in the room and only talked about some things about the inner courtyard, and did not touch on other topics.

The reason why Mengdie didn't tell San Yiniang that there would be a conspiracy when she went to the temple this time was because she still didn't know what the conspiracy was, and telling San Yiniang was just to make her worry in vain.Besides, the people around Third Aunt may not all be loyal. Mengdie still wanted to take this opportunity to let Second Aunt come to steal chickens and lose money. Naturally, everything must be kept secret.

Two hours later, the old lady got into the carriage with the second aunt, third aunt, and Mrs. Li, and behind each of them were two maids carrying burdens.It was not until before leaving that the order came that the old lady suddenly proposed to stay in the temple for a few more days and pay homage to the temple, saying that it would be easier to impress the Bodhisattva.Hearing that, Mengdie was speechless for a while. If she hadn't been determined, she might have rolled her eyes at the sky.

I really don't know if these people think themselves too smart or think others are too stupid. It's smart to conspire, but they just found such a lame reason!
Of course, this "crazy" is only in Mengdie's personal definition, and these ancients absolutely believed in this reason.Not to mention these wives and ladies, some men still like to go to the temple to worship and ask for a lottery!This superstitious thought can be said to be deeply rooted, which makes Mengdie amazed!
When the family's ancestors went out, Mengdie, a junior, naturally wanted to see him off at the door, so he saw Mrs. Li again.I haven't seen her for a few days, but Mrs. Li has become a lot haggard. Thinking about it, she was tortured enough. Her daughter was seriously injured and was lying in bed. She was also grounded, lost her rights, and even lost her husband completely!Such a blow is indeed not a small one for a woman.If it wasn't for the help of a biological son, she, the nominal mistress, would probably have been treated harshly to death by those servants who flattered her!
These Mengdie knew it well, so when she saw the hatred in Li Shi's eyes, she was not surprised at all, but just smiled indifferently.What Li Shi thinks about her is completely out of her scope of consideration. Now she only hopes that Li Shi will not be so angry and do something unforgivably stupid, otherwise...

Mengdie's eyes dimmed unknowingly. She knew very well that when she fought with Li Shi, the saddest and most difficult thing was her elder brother who loved her the most. No matter what happened to either of her and Li Shi, Wu Yusheng would probably crashed.
