The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 22 Questioning or apologizing?

The old lady was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

"I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect..." She was so angry, she had only left the house for a few years, and the inner courtyard of Cui's house became like this.

The dignified Cui family actually let a foreigner drive straight in to Rongshou Hall. Although her yard is not a real backyard, but now the yard is full of women and children. If the matter is publicized, their Cui family will no longer have to gain a foothold in the capital.

What's even more exasperating is that the outsider not only entered the Rongshou Hall, but also saw the Cui family's scandal with his own eyes.Whether it's spoiling his wife and destroying concubines, or the mistress is unkind, only Cui Youbo is ridiculed.

"Old lady, it's because I didn't manage the family strictly, that's why today's calamity happened." The eldest lady Zheng knelt down first, she covered her face with a handkerchief, and said her regret while crying.

During the period, when talking about hibiscus, Mrs. Zheng still gouged out a certain person who was staggering and kneeling on the ground.To be honest, Da Furen now has the heart to eat hibiscus—in the past, because she didn't like Xiao Nan's arrogance and domineering and contempt for Hachiro, she supported hibiscus everywhere, and this hibiscus was really well-behaved, so Mrs. She did like it a little bit.But this does not mean that she can let Hibiscus plot against the Cui family and her Hachiro.

Although Mu Jin kept saying that she was wronged, both the old lady and the eldest lady were clear in their hearts.

Xue Li doesn't have much friendship with Cui's family at all, why would he rush to Cui's house to visit Balang? !In addition, although Fan Dezhi's family has left the family, since their ancestors have stayed in the Cui family for decades, they have accumulated contacts in three or four lifetimes. Let alone lead a foreigner into the Rongshou Hall. Access to the backyard is not out of the question.

Thinking of her family's Hachiro losing face in front of Xue Li for this, and the possibility that her reputation will be affected in the future, how can the Zheng family not hate the instigator of this matter? !

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady, she didn't say anything, she just asked the eldest young lady Wang to help Mrs Zheng up.Continue to say to Mu Jin, "Forget it, I see that you are really tired today, and you are pregnant with your child... But you can't stay in the mansion any longer, go to the villa in Changshoufang."

What?Longevity Square?It is the most remote and desolate place in Kyoto. Because it is located in the south of the city and the terrain is low, few people live there. A few years ago, I heard that there were fierce tigers.

Hibiscus's strength seemed to be sucked away, and she fell limply on the ground.Compared with acting and pretending in the past, this time she fainted very real.

"Yiniang, you can send someone to send the hibiscus over later, according to the rules of a concubine, give her the people who are prepared to serve her, and bring her all the clothes and ingredients." Yi Niang is the eldest lady's boudoir. In the Cui family, only the old lady and Cui Ze would call her that.

What?Such a lowly servant girl who betrayed her master deserves to be beaten to death, why is she still sending people and giving things to make offerings?

Mrs. Zheng disagreed in her heart, but she had already made a mistake, so she didn't dare to speak out to refute the old lady's arrangement, but just angrily swept someone limp on the ground, and stabbed her over and over again with sharp eyes.

The old lady couldn't tell, she rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't want to say anything more, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that Mrs. Zheng would get into trouble with her family again, so she said something, "She is still pregnant with a child." Woolen cloth."

Now is not the time of the Jin and Southern Dynasties, when the difference between concubine and concubine was like clouds and mud, not only the concubine's wife regarded the concubine's son and concubine daughter as slaves, even the male master of the family would not take the concubine's children seriously. The concubine's children were not even recognized by the family.

But now, as early as more than ten years ago, someone gave advice to the Supreme Emperor, reprimanding the bad habit of "treating concubines as slaves, wives and concubines as maidservants" since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, advocating that "the promotion of civil and military talents is not limited to righteous concubines", Supporting the concubine can also be an official; last year, some people even pointed out that the "Tang Law Shuyi" did not list the regulations for the concubine to mourn the concubine's mother. Everyone in the court knew that the status of concubines and concubines was gradually improving.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why Mu Jin dared to scheme against the mistress: if her plan succeeds, Xiao Nan will lose her ability to conceive, and she will give birth to the eldest son, who will be able to enter the official position as the son of Uncle Cui in the future. After being a high-ranking official, please give her a royal order, then she will also be a titled and high-ranking wife, just waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth.

The old lady guessed Mu Jin's plan, but she didn't think about what to do to her.To be honest, she doesn't like such a scheming woman, but she is the helm of the Cui family, and she doesn't only focus on the inner courtyard. She made the family rules about taking concubines in the past because of the concept of the world at that time. It's all the same, since she doesn't value or even ignore the bastard, why should she break the rules of the Cui family for the sake of the bastard who is destined to be unpopular?

Now, since the identity of the concubine has been recognized by the whole society, there is no need for her to suppress the concubine's descendants independently.After all, the concubines are also the descendants of the Cui family, and they will be prosperous in the future, and they will be members of the Cui family wherever they go, and the lintel of the Cui family will shine brightly.

Therefore, the old lady never thought about aborting the child in Mu Jin's belly.Not to mention, now that Mu Jin's elder brother has joined the Imperial Guard, he can be considered as a member of the military. When Mu Jin's son grows up, he will have more help... In the end, it will be the Cui family who will be able to help!

Although she was still somewhat reluctant, Mrs. Zheng did not dare to disobey the old lady's wishes. She complied, and called someone to carry Mu Jin out, and then sent the big maid beside her to help her pack things, and waited for a while. Only when Hibiscus leaves the house can he come back.

"Balang, have you seen the county master? Is the county master okay?" After dealing with one, the old lady called the next one, her eyes were full of kindness, it didn't look like asking a crime, but more like an ordinary old grandmother chatting with her grandson .

"I've seen it, the county master is fine, and the child is fine too." Cui Youbo was in a bad mood, drooping his head listlessly, and staring at the ground, wondering what he was thinking.

The old lady sighed silently, and said: "Since the county master is fine, don't delay, go tell the county master, and move to the ancestral hall at night, first copy the family tree and family rules of the Cui family from beginning to end .”

Cui Youbo nodded, at this moment he didn't know what kind of sad situation he was going to face - wouldn't it be a punishment to copy the family tree and family rules.

At this time, someone came to report at the door, "Report to the old lady, Princess Changle is here!"

Well, I made my child cry, and the parents are here!
The old lady shook her head with a wry smile, ready to greet her.

Cui Youbo gave him a wink, he quickly stepped forward two steps, grabbed the old lady's arm, and helped her out together.

"The old lady/concubine sees the princess, but I don't know the princess is here, so I am far away to greet you, and I ask the princess to forgive me!" The old lady led several nephews and grandnieces and grandnieces to the middle hall, and saw Princess Changle sitting cross-legged on her waist. , surrounded by a group of maids and servants, entered the middle courtyard.

Princess Changle was full of anger because she was worried about her daughter, and she didn't want to show face to the Cui family at all, but seeing the old lady came out to welcome her, she was an old friend of her aunt, Princess Pingyang, and she was considered her elder, so it was not good It went too far, and knocked on the waist with the handle of the fan, and the two servants who were carrying it stopped hurriedly.

"The old lady is free," Princess Changle said very coldly. She glanced at the eldest lady behind the old lady, and her tone became even colder: "As for forgiveness? I dare not. Speaking of which, I should also make amends to the eldest lady. My lax discipline as a mother has made the eldest lady and the old lady suffer!"
