The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 196 Adoption ([-])

"Alas, my dear lady, I dare not say so."

Zhao's mother hurriedly tried to cover the eldest lady's mouth, and said in a low voice, "You forgot the second old lady? Everyone in Rong'an Hall has said that because the second old lady is disrespectful to the old lady, Erlang Jun (referring to the old lady) Cui Shouyi) almost made a fuss about divorcing his wife, if the old man did not try his best to dissuade her, even if the second old lady was not divorced, she would have been sent to Zhuangzi or a nunnery for 'quiet rest'."

Of course the eldest lady knew about this, and she personally arranged the nails placed in Rong'an Hall.

However, if you know it, you know that it happened to you, and the doctor knows how painful it is to be oppressed by this old ancestor.

She patted Mother Zhao's hand away, and said fiercely: "So what? Huh, there is no such thing as being disfilial to my aunt and being dismissed in Qichuli. Why should I be afraid of her? Also, I married Cui For more than 40 years, I have given birth to children for the Cui family, presided over the donation, and served Weng Po. What can I do wrong? Even if I open an ancestral hall, I am not afraid, she really dares to divorce me?"

The words were straightforward, but the volume had been greatly lowered. It was obvious that the eldest lady was not afraid of the old lady at all, as she said in her words.

That's right, Qi Chuli just said 'no matter to my uncle', that is, being unfilial to your parents is considered unfilial, and you will be abandoned by your husband's family.

But in the Tang Dynasty, filial piety to elders who have kindness to oneself, even if they are not direct parents, such as filial piety to elder sisters, elder sisters-in-law or aunts, will be protected by the law and praised by the world.

Like the Cui family, Cui Shouren and Cui Shouyi brothers are filial to their eldest sister who never married, and they are quite famous in Beijing.

Back then, when the two brothers asked the eldest sister for a patent, if they strictly followed the rules and laws, it was actually illegal, but the law is nothing more than human feelings.

To Cui Shouren and his brother, Cui Sanniang is not their own mother, but she has the grace of education, upbringing and protection, so she can be regarded as their elders.Therefore, the saint will approve the invitation of the two brothers.

Since the sage granted Cui Sanniang the title, it was a disguised recognition of Cui Sanniang's status as the patriarch and ancestor of the Cui family, which legally guaranteed the status of Cui Sanniang's old lady.

And the Cui brothers' respect for the eldest sister has established the authority of her Cui family's parents emotionally.

Therefore, no matter which member of the Cui family is disrespectful or filial to the old lady, she will bear the double punishment of the law and the head of the family.

The eldest lady has been married into the Cui family for so many years, of course she understands this, and it was just a helpless way of venting.

"Ma'am, of course she can't divorce you, but if it really develops to that point, the old man and the man will treat you—"

The old Xianggong (Cui Shouren) is the eldest wife's biological father-in-law. He can sue the eldest wife for disobedience, and he can also order his son to divorce his wife for this reason.

Even if she is not divorced, the eldest lady will completely lose her husband's heart. What's more, even her sons and grandchildren may cast aside her 'unfilial piety'.

The eldest lady can't afford this consequence.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady curled her lips and snorted heavily, but the sound was temporarily silent.

Zhao's mother knew her very well, so she leaned close to the eldest lady, squeezed her fists and lightly beat her shoulders, and comforted her with nagging words, "The old lady is over 80 years old. Go, why do you bother with her..."

If it were normal, after Zhao's mother massaged and comforted her, the eldest lady would have already lost half of her anger and complained to her.

However, today is different. When the eldest lady heard the words 'care about', the anger that had been suppressed just now burst out again, "Caring, how dare I care about her, she is still haunted, and she insists on worrying about me." ah."

Mother Zhao paused her hands, and asked in a softer voice: "Madam, what is the matter, you might as well tell this old slave. Although this old slave is stupid, he has been serving you for so many years anyway, I have learned a little bit from you, and maybe I can help you analyze it."

"Alas—" Da Furen sighed for a long time, and said helplessly and desperately: "Isn't it—"

"Adoption?! You mean, the old lady wants to adopt Mr. Hachiro?"

Xiao Nan handed his daughter to the nanny Fang, and sent everyone out of the house, leaving only Yuzan, who whispered something in her ear, Xiao Nan couldn't help shouting in surprise.

"That's right, Han Er's youngest daughter is working in Liulangjun's Daoxiangyuan. She said it when she heard Liulangjun chatting with Mrs. Liushao."

"Will there be a fake?"

When Xiao Nan heard the news came from Daoxiangyuan, he subconsciously wanted to be skeptical.This can't be blamed on her, it's really Liu's ability to make troubles, she just thinks about calculating herself, she has to guard against it.

"Probably not," Yuzan thought for a while and shook her head vigorously, "That girl is served by Mrs. Liu's side, but she is just a rough servant girl. She can only wait for errands in the corridor on weekdays. Because of her low rank, the monthly payment and regulations and so on They are all low, and if they don't do things in front of the master, they won't get any prizes, and they don't get any rewards throughout the year, so they can't be said to be loyal to the Liu family."

Xiao Nan nodded, "Well, the monthly money is low, and there is no oily water, and the eyelids are shallow. Spending a little money can pry your mouth open. You continue to talk." The obedient voice is half convinced.

"Mr. Liu Lang said to Mrs. Liu Shao that that day in the ancestral hall, the old lady lamented in front of her parents and ancestors who passed away, saying that she was too old to have any children under her knees, and no one would pay homage to her after a hundred years. She was very heartbroken. Injury. Her Rongshou Hall also has no heirs, which makes her sleepless... So, she wants to adopt an heir from among the many descendants of the Cui family."

Yuzan bowed and stood by Xiao Nan's side, and whispered to Xiao Nan the information he had inquired from Daoxiangyuan in detail.

"Oh? The old lady fell in love with Mr. Lang?"

It's not difficult to understand. In her previous life, the old lady valued Cui Ba, but she was mixed up by Cui Liu and his wife.

"Well, the old lady said that Balang is young and talented, willing to make progress, and with the help of a good wife, he will surely prosper the Rongshou Hall in the future. Even if she goes, she will feel at ease."

Yuhan seemed to have thought of something, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan said with a smile: "Is there anything we can't talk about? Hehe, you, just talk about it? Well, I guess this must have something to do with why Da Furen made things difficult for me in public."

Yuzan's eyes widened, and she blurted out praise: "Your princess is wise, you guessed it right again."

Xiao Nan shook his head amusedly.

Yuzan said: "This is what Mr. Liulang said. He said that the above is just an external statement. In fact, what the old lady did is not to compensate you, the princess, and to appease the princess."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, "Where does this come from? Could it be...it means that the old lady failed to punish A Jin and Dayliflower severely?" God, it has been more than a year, and there are still people talking about it.

However, these words came from Liu Langjun's mouth, and Cui Huibo's own speculation may not have been contained in the words.Or make excuses for not being selected as a screen sparrow.

"The princess guessed right again," Yuzan sighed again, and then returned to the topic: "According to Mr. Liulang, the old lady once told the old man and my husband in private that you almost had a miscarriage, the princess. For Cui Dezhi's sake, he didn't punish A Jin severely for the time being, and allowed A Jin to give birth to the eldest son before you, which has already made the Eldest Princess very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that something happened to the Xiao family at that time, the Eldest Princess and Concubine Xiao were busy Sending the demoted Duke Xiao out of Beijing, the Eldest Princess would have killed her long ago."

In fact, it also came, but left halfway.

"At that time, the old lady begged the eldest princess to let the Cui family go, forgive Cui Balang and others, and promised that in order to compensate the princess, she would give one-third of the Cui family's wealth to the princess."

Well, the Cui family's three brothers and sisters, the family property is also divided equally into three.The old lady adopted Cui Ba, and in a disguised form, she left all the property under her name to her heirs and grandchildren.And the husband and wife are one body, Cui Ba's property also belongs to Xiao Nan, so this is in line with the promise she made to the eldest princess.

However, Xiao Nan has a question: "Things have passed for so long, why did the old lady suddenly want to fulfill her promise?"

Said, Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Wait, I thought of it."

Xiao Nan's complexion became a little ugly, she sneered twice, and said: "Yes, I understand, although Ah Weng was demoted from Beijing, the Xiao family did not suffer the slightest impact, A Niang and Aye's family are still here , the majestic princess mansion is definitely more valuable than an upstart young general. Not to mention that I have been promoted to princess, how can I be compared with Ajin and others? Hmph, it is really easy to calculate, and the successor is the heir Sun, on the surface, he left the property of Rongshoutang to us and his wife, but in fact, he did not intend to use the power of me and the princess mansion, and the 400-year-old Lanling Xiao family's reputation, to preserve the property of the Cui family."

Although Cui Liu's guesswork was part of Yuzan's probing remarks, it wasn't too far off topic.If the old lady hadn't said something similar, the eldest lady would not have lost her composure to her like that.From Da Furen's point of view, the reason why Cui Ba was 'robbed' by Old Madam was entirely Xiao Nan's fault.

If it wasn't for appeasing and compensating Xiao Nan, who would the old lady adopt as an adoptee, why would Cui Ba be the adoptee?
"Preservation?" Yuzan asked a little puzzled: "Princess, the Cui family is a majestic Boling Cui family, an old family with hundreds of years, who would dare to make things difficult for them?" Is it necessary to think of ways to preserve the property?
Xiao Nan smiled coldly, and said: "Don't forget, this branch of ours is not the direct branch of our own family, there is also a three-half Cui family watching over there."

Xiao Nan pondered, probably when Cui Yanbo was plotted by that side, the old lady realized her family's intentions for their branch. In order to prevent her life's hard work from being embezzled by her family, she just wanted to give away three points of it. One of them was transferred to Xiao Nan's name.

In the eyes of the old lady, a big princess, a princess, a duke's mansion, coupled with Xiao's centuries-old family name, can definitely suppress the strong attack of the Cui family.

"Princess, are they using you?!"

Yuhan became angry, she followed Xiao Nan to serve, no one knew better than her Xiao Nan's intention to befriend the old lady, and as a result, the old lady still plotted against her princess like this.

However, Xiao Nan smiled, his smile was bright and sunny, "How can it be said that it was a calculation, I didn't lose anything, not only got a lot of property for nothing, but also asked a mother-in-law who doesn't like me very much."

It's a win-win situation, probably the old lady also thought of this, knowing that even if Xiao Nan knew the 'truth', she wouldn't hate her, that's why she finally made up her mind?
