The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 53 The Secret
Xiao Nan seriously suspects that Xiao Lu is not the direct daughter of Fan Yang's Lu family.

Although she doesn't have much contact with Xiao Lu, but looking at Xiao Lu's words and deeds today and the memory of the original deity in her brain, Xiao Nan feels that Xiao Lu's words, deeds, and actions are not in the slightest. style.

In this way, it is not intentional to depress the concubine daughter and elevate the concubine daughter.

Reality is not a novel. In ancient times, the distinction between concubine and concubine was like clouds and mud, especially for women.

If it is a bastard, the family will try their best to nurture it for reproduction and development, and there are old rules for enlightenment and schooling;
But concubine daughters are miserable, because their educators are aunts. If they meet a aunt who is tolerant and has a big picture, they will get a good education, but it is still not as good as that of aunts. A narrow-minded aunt is very likely to raise a concubine worse than a maid.

For women, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just floating clouds. What is really useful is how to behave in the world, how to treat people and things, how to manage internal affairs, and how to raise children.

These cannot be solved by just asking a gentleman.

But most of the prostitutes will be kept by their mother's side, teaching her these principles and rules of doing things subtly and subtly.Over time, the so-called upbringing, the so-called etiquette, and the so-called rules have all naturally integrated into her daughter's words and deeds, and even penetrated into her blood and bone marrow.

This is one of the real differences between prostitutes and prostitutes.

This is especially true of aristocratic families.

In contrast to Xiao Lu's performance today, Xiao Nan can only use one word to describe it - not on the stage!

Without mentioning the far example, let's take Xiao Nan as an example.

In the capital, the reputation of Xiao Nan's true self is not very good. When people mention her, they always say that she behaves perversely, has a hot temper and acts recklessly.

But in fact, Xiao Nan himself had never lost his temper outside the door, and even if he got angry again, he would close the door and quarrel in private.

Once she walks out of the room, no matter whether she is receiving guests or going out for a banquet, whether it is spring outing, summer outing, autumn horse riding, winter ice play... She strictly abides by the rules, and no one can find anything wrong with her words and deeds. OK.

Even if he meets someone he hates or A Weng and Aye's political opponents, Xiao Nan will talk politely according to etiquette, maybe not enthusiastic, but he will never be rude.

It's not like Xiao Lu's, who hates a person and writes it on his face, and doesn't think about the rules and etiquette.It's hard for a person like her to get along in the social circle.

But she is married to a good husband's family, no matter how unreliable Xiao Lu is, when the circle of ladies in the capital holds flower parties and tea parties, it is inevitable to give her a post.

And on such an occasion, Xiao Nan would also go.But with today's incident, Xiao Nan had an affair with Xiao Lu.

Therefore, Xiao Nan had to think of a way to prevent Xiao Lu's mind from going dizzy for a while in public, and then embarrass her in front of others.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Xiao Nan wants to know all the information about Sanfang and Xiao Lu.

Mother Qin's efficiency is quite high, but within a short half a day, she obtained Xiao Lu's information from Haitong's house.

In the afternoon, after feeding, Xiao Nan went to the conservatory for a walk, and when he came back, Qin's mother was already waiting in the main room.

"The county lord guessed right. The third lady is not the daughter of the Lu family." Qin's mother knelt beside Xiao Nan, took the bee sugar water handed over by Yuzan, drank a couple of sips, and continued: "It turns out that Mr. Sanlang is here. The third wife also married a woman earlier, and that is the daughter of the Lu family, and now this is just the concubine sister of the first third wife."

The story is very vulgar. After the third wife gave birth to the second mother Cui Lan, she has been in poor health.

More than 20 years ago, when Mrs. Lu was ill, the first three wives could not serve her mother-in-law due to illness, and the Lu family also had a bit of a plan, so they sent two of the married concubine daughters to the Cui family. Taking care of his aunt and sister was actually to prevent the death of his third wife, and Cui Hong married someone else.

"...I just don't know what happened that day. The third wife died of illness and left a last word to let her concubine Lu Xiu, who is now the third wife, marry into the Cui family to fill in the house. At that time, there were only the old lady and the eldest lady. At the scene, even Mrs. Lu didn't know the truth."

Qin's mother carefully told the story from the three generations of Haitong's grandparents, "As soon as the third lady's filial piety was over, Lu Xiu came in.

After Lu Xiu entered the door, she didn't know what she said when she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu's condition worsened, and finally she died.On the surface, the Cui family said that the concubine Ji of the old Xianggong (Xianggong=Prime Minister) was so arrogant that he dared to plot against the mistress, but in fact, it was caused by the third wife. "

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback when she heard the words. She had also heard about a disaster in the Cui family's house more than 20 years ago, but she had heard too many versions, and she only knew the general situation and the specific details. Didn't figure it out either.

Hearing Qin's mother's words now, she couldn't help interrupting: "Why, is Mrs. Lu's death still related to the third lady? Well, wait a minute,"

Xiao Nan waved his hand again, and fell into deep thought. In his mind, the scene of Xiao Lu's deliberately targeting the old lady appeared involuntarily. She boldly guessed: "It was the third lady who talked to the old lady, Mrs. Lu at the funeral of Mrs. Lu, Is there any conflict with the eldest lady? Or is it because the third lady has something to do with the Cui family?"

Otherwise, with the old lady's status in Cui's family, the third lady treats her so clearly, even sarcastically, it is simply courting death.

Xiao Nan felt that the third wife was not so stupid as this.

Well, that's another possibility.

Qin's mother shook her head, looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one there, she whispered to Xiao Nan's ear, "This matter is a secret of the Cui family, or Haitong's grandma, who was in the Mrs. Lu was working in the courtyard, and overheard a few words.

Haitong's grandmother said that before Mrs. Lu's condition worsened, she forced the third wife to swear a poisonous oath, promising not to conceive within five years and not to interfere in the marriage between Mr. Silang and Mrs. Er. "

Xiao Nan's heart was shocked when he heard it, five years?

Well, if she did not make a mistake, the year Mrs. Lu died of illness, Shiro Cui Jibo was nine years old, and five years later he would be fourteen. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, although he cannot get married, he is already considered an adult. Now, you can also start talking about marriage.

In the past five years, the third wife was not allowed to conceive, and without a son, she did not have a strong desire to kill the eldest son to make room for her son.On the contrary, in order to keep her status, she has to get closer to her stepson and nephew.

Mrs. Lu's request made it clear that she didn't believe the third lady.

However, Xiao Nan was very puzzled, what on earth did the third wife do to make her aunt not believe her, and force her to swear such a poisonous oath? !
Qin's mother continued to say, "It is the old lady who supervises the third lady to drink the Bizi soup. If the old lady is delayed by something, the eldest lady will send a capable woman to supervise."

So it turned out that Xiao Nan understood a little bit.Originally, the old lady and the eldest lady were only carrying out the last order of Mrs. Lu, but in the eyes of the third lady, they deliberately made things difficult for her.

No wonder Xiao Lu has such great hostility towards the old lady and the eldest lady.

However, she still didn't understand why the old lady and the eldest lady tolerated Xiao Lu's rudeness? !
Qin's mother listened to Xiao Nan's question and shook her head, "I asked them, Haitong's grandma said that the Cui family was very strict about this matter, and no one knew about it except for a few masters who handled it. She said, yes , The servants who knew about it also disappeared." Because of that incident, the Cui family has disappeared a lot.

For some reason, Xiao Nan felt terrified when he heard these words.She reached out for a bowl of honey syrup, drank it in small sips, and tried her best to suppress the inexplicable panic in her heart.

Qin's mother looked up to Xiao Nan from a young age and knew her best. Seeing her actions, she hurriedly asked with concern: "Master, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell or is the young man in your stomach bothering you?"

Xiao Nan didn't speak, until he finished drinking a large bowl of warm bee syrup, then said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, the third lady's business is here, let Hongjiao and the others pay more attention to the movements of the third room."

Qin's mother nodded. Today, the county lord refuted the third lady's face. With the third lady's heart and bearing, she would definitely hold a grudge.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, and the third lady is the kind of person who is very troublesome if offended.

At this time, Yulian walked in.

"County Lord, when the servant girl was feeding the Lord, the Lord specially brought you some letters."

Yulian knelt down in front of Xiao Nan, holding several unsealed letters in both hands.

"Huh? A letter from my lord?" Xiao Nan took the envelope curiously, and randomly pulled out one. Inside were two blank papers filled with correct Tang Xiaokai.

Xiao Nan opened the white paper and quickly scanned the words on it.

After reading it, she couldn't help but smile a little, her husband is really, ha ha, how should I put it, say he is innocent, or that he has a pure nature.

Shaking his head lightly, Xiao Nan opened several other letters, the contents inside were similar, but the names and specific information were different.

"County lord, is it the letter from the Lord?" Seeing Xiao Nan's funny and helpless look, Qin's mother couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. A little bit of easing, but not so fast, right? Lang Jun has already started writing letters to the county magistrate to make her happy? !
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Mother Qin denied it herself.

"No, it's for Aye." Xiao Nan folded all the letter paper and put it back into the envelope, "Mr. I made friends with some elegant and noble scholars, all of them came from famous families, some of them were noble ladies of the royal family, and they also had certain connections in the court.

Lang Jun has sorted out the information of his friends, and asked me to give it to Aye, saying that no matter whether his friends can help, he will give it a try anyway, so that Ah Weng will not be wronged for nothing. "

Xiao Nan said, but he knew very well in his heart that none of Cui Youbo's so-called friends could help him.

But she still decided to give these materials to Aye, not because she could help Aweng, but to convey Cui Youbo's concern for Yue's family.
