Chapter 61 The Righteous Daughter (1)

Section 061 righteous daughter (1)

Sheng Xiuyi has always acted prudently, he is not a frivolous person, how could he befriend a lady who has not left the court for no reason?Mrs. Sheng just asked this question out of uneasiness in her heart, just to be sure.Seeing that Sheng Xiuyi answered in the affirmative, she felt relieved.

"The birthday present that Aunt Tao and Aunt Shao gave you last year was the jade gourd pendant. Where did you put it?" Madam Sheng asked again.

Although Mrs. Sheng was definitely not sent by Sheng Xiuyi, she wanted to find out why.

Miss Wan'er from Xue's mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance.

In front of Sheng's family, displaying Sheng Xiuyi's things in a big way, what was her plan, Mrs. Sheng vaguely understood a thing or two.After finding out how the jade gourd pendant got into Xue Jiangwan's hands, Mrs. Sheng should go to Xue's mansion in person and tell Mrs. Xue the truth, lest the old lady misunderstand her brother Yi.

Shizi Sheng Xiuyi thought for a while, and said: "That jade gourd...it disappeared after returning from Anhui. It either landed in Anqing Mansion or on the road. Mother, you just said Miss Xue Mansion, what Miss?"

He seemed to remember something.

Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but her heart sank, and she said: "Old Madam Xue only said that it was Miss Wan'er who came from the south, probably a distant relative who lives in Zhenxianhou's Mansion, her boudoir name is Jiang Wan. Do you really know her?"

"I came back from Anqing Mansion, and when I was about to reach the outskirts of Jinan Mansion, I met a lady and her servants on the official road. Their carriage was broken and left halfway. He stopped my carriage and said that they had been frozen in the snow for two hours, and no one would take them for a ride, and that the lady and the old lady were about to faint from the cold. I didn't want to talk to him, but the old servant knelt down and said they were Go to Zhenxianhou's mansion to visit relatives, and call Zhenxianhou to thank me later.

I thought, Jinan Mansion is far away from the capital, and most of the people who come and go on the official road are from Shandong, so I don't know the magnificence of Zhenxianhou Mansion.I'm also afraid that they are bandits; besides, it's the New Year and it's snowing heavily, and people on the road are in a hurry.No one is willing to take them, as long as it is the truth.I asked the steward to read their road guide and a famous post from Zhenxianhou's Mansion, and knowing what he said was true, I took them to Jinan Mansion.When we arrived in Jinan Mansion, the young lady and the old lady came to the inn where I was staying to express my thanks, and we met once in the lobby.She was wearing a hat, so I didn't see her face.

Later she knew that we were also going to Shengjing, so she told Steward Lin that she wanted to go with us and asked for help along the way.I thought that I couldn't escape being married to Xue's family, and it wouldn't hurt to sell favors to Zhen Xianhou, so I took her to Beijing together. "Sheng Xiuyi recalled lightly, and told Mrs. Shengchanghou.

Mrs. Sheng lifted her heart just now, and asked her son nervously, "Then do you have anything to give her?"

Sheng Xiuyi frowned slightly when he heard his mother's words, and said, "Mother, although she is traveling with us, Manager Lin and Lai'an are making arrangements for the journey. I sat in the car, and never returned to the capital until I returned to the capital." Meeting her, let alone giving something as a gift? Men and women are different, so it's strange that I gave her something for no reason!"

Mrs. Sheng was completely relieved.

But why did Sheng Xiuyi's accessories end up in Xue Jiangwan's hands?Well, I'm about to ask Sheng Xiuyi's servant to greet him!
Mrs. Sheng told Sheng Leyun's words to Sheng Xiuyi: "I'm afraid that your jade gourd pendant is now in her hands, so what?"

Sheng Xiuyi groaned slightly, with some fear in his eyes: "Lai'an kept my things along the way, and he didn't have the guts to give them away. He also has a pair of hands and a pair of eyes, and he didn't see where they fell. If someone picks it up, it is possible..."

That is to say, the jade gourd may have been lost by the servant accidentally, and Xue Jiangwan picked it up.

Since she is a distant relative of the Xue family, she can also be considered a young lady, so naturally she has some discernment.The small jade gourd is of high quality and the tassels are exquisite, it is the master's property at first glance, Xue Jiangwan should be able to tell.She could naturally guess that it belonged to Sheng Xiuyi.

If she found it, she would forget it if she didn't pay it back, and brought it out in front of the Sheng family. Mrs. Sheng had a vague idea of ​​what this girl wanted to do.

She sneered slightly.

"Our family needs more aunts..." Mrs. Sheng sighed, "It's still such a troublesome one!"

There was a bit of disgust in the tone.

Sheng Xiuyi frowned slightly, and said, "What's this called!"

His tone was grim.

***********************
Mrs. Xue and her party returned to Shengjing at Shenshi in the afternoon, and the eldest son Xue Ziyou led the fourth and fifth masters to welcome them at Xuanyangmen.

Back at Xue's mansion, the old lady looked unkind, and told everyone to rest, leaving only Mrs. Shizi and Shizi master talking in front of her.

On the second day, Mother Rong who was beside Mrs. Shizi called Qiangwei, and Dong Yuan's heart tightened for no reason.How to ask Qiangwei to talk properly?
When Qiangwei came back, she didn't have a happy look on her face, but she was dazed and uneasy.

Dong Yuan looked at her, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked her, "What did your aunt tell you to do?"

Qiangwei glanced at Ziwei and Honglian who were serving in the room, but did not answer.

Dong Yuan understood and let Ziwei and Honglian go out first.

Then Qiangwei said: "Miss, Mrs. Shizi said that after Miss San got married, Aunt Zheng wanted to recognize me as her goddaughter."

Becoming the young lady of the Xue family, Qiangwei can get rid of her slave status. After being attacked by such a sugar-coated shell, Qiangwei is not dizzy, but she is unhappy. This makes Dong Yuan more satisfied with her: this little maid is very knowledgeable.

Aunt Zheng is the second concubine in the Shizi's lord's room. She gave birth to Xue Dongying, the third lady of the Xue family. Xue Huahao's Aunt Wang.

Suddenly asking Qiangwei to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter?
Dong Yuan didn't quite understand either.

If nothing else happened, everything Mrs. Shizi and the old lady do now should be to protect Dong Yuan's life after marrying into the Sheng family.

Qiangwei saw Dong Yuan in a daze, and called her: "Miss, you are the smartest person Qiangwei has ever met. Why did Mrs. Shizi want me to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter? You must know. Miss, I don't know if it's a blessing or not. Misfortune, so I didn’t agree, and after thinking about it, Ming’er replied to Shizi’s wife. Shizi’s wife was not angry, she just said let me think about it.”

Dong Yuan's mind was in a mess, and when Qiangwei asked him, it became even more chaotic.She smiled: "I don't understand why, you let me think about it, go and make me a cup of tea."

Qiangwei had no choice but to go.

Dong Yuan's thoughts returned to Mrs. Shizi's motives.

On Yonglian Mountain, the old lady blamed Mrs. Shizi for Dongyuan's affairs, but when she returned to Xue's mansion, only Mrs. Shizi was left to talk. Did she make up for her mistakes and help Dongyuan make a plan, so as to avoid marriage after marrying into the Sheng family? danger?

The emperor publicly engraved the jade pendant for Dong Yuan, and the third master of the Sheng family and the concubine Sheng naturally knew about it, so the Sheng family and the son of the Marquis of Shengchang also knew about it, right?

Knowing that the emperor misses Xue Dongyuan, the Sheng family used the eternal grace for long-term prosperity, so they should not dare to disobey the holy will.Then the eldest son of the Sheng family and Mrs. Sheng would not want Dong Yuan to give birth to a son and a half daughter, lest in the future after Xue Dongyuan was taken away by the emperor, he would become attached to the Sheng family and would not be able to serve the emperor at ease, offending Sheng Jia and angering the Sheng family.

If the eldest son of the Sheng family had been more soft-tempered and cautious, he might not have touched Dong Yuan at all.

A daughter-in-law who has no heirs and is the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan will have many excuses for her mother-in-law and husband to make things difficult, and even be angry with the concubine.

What the Xue family needs to do is to let Dong Yuan have a son and a half daughter to defend himself.Even if she is the princess, it can't make up for her childless plight.

Dong Yuan can't give birth by herself, but her housemate can, and it's still under her name.

If Qiangwei followed Dong Yuan and became a roommate, her children would be Dong Yuan's children.Qiangwei was originally Dong Yuan's personal maid, and she was going to be married to Sheng's family.There is no need for her to be Aunt Zheng's goddaughter, Qiangwei can also be a roommate.

Why do you have to get a goddaughter out?

Dong Yuan's thoughts always turned quickly, but this time he turned around and entered a dead end, and he couldn't explain it.

Qiangwei brought her tea, and a sip of the clear Tieguanyin still couldn't dispel the doubts in her heart.

I wanted to ask Qiangwei about the rules of Tongfang that she didn't know.But asking this question is equivalent to telling Qiangwei that she will be his roommate in the future.

Maybe Qiangwei is willing, but Dong Yuan is not so willing.

This maid is very smart, she wants to keep Qiangwei by her side, marry the housekeeper of the Sheng family, and then become the housekeeper's mother in her own room, so she can save a lot of worry.

The maid who was too shrewd became a housekeeper, and in the future she would carry a concubine, so Dong Yuan felt uncomfortable at first.

Mother Luo went out again, she really has no one to ask.

After thinking about it, Dong Yuan asked Qiangwei to help her change into a lake-colored gown: "I'll go to my grandmother's place to have a sit."

Just had lunch at this moment, the old lady should be resting, Dong Yuan knew about it; Qiangwei came out of the old lady's room, she also knew, so she looked at Dong Yuan puzzled.

Dong Yuan didn't explain, just smiled and asked Qiangwei to help her change clothes.

When we arrived at Rongde Pavilion, the old lady really took a nap, and the treasure towel served in the inner room. Mother Zhan, Baolu, Ziyuan, and Lufu were all in the Dongci room.

Seeing Dong Yuan coming, several people hurriedly saluted Dong Yuan and asked Dong Yuan to sit on the kang.

"The old lady just took a rest..." Mother Zhan said to Dong Yuan with a smile.

Dong Yuan smiled peacefully: "I know. Mom, I have a few words to ask you..."

Baolu and the others served Dong Yuan tea, and hearing what Dong Yuan said, they consciously avoided going out, and Qiangwei also followed.

"Mom, I want to ask you, what are the rules of Tongfang?" After a while, Dong Yuan asked in a low voice.

Mother Zhan was taken aback for a moment, she looked at Dong Yuan carefully, why did she ask such a question?Thinking about it, Zhan's mother's thoughts turned to Qiangwei who had just come here with Dong Yuan.

Could it be that Miss Jiu thought that Qiangwei was Aunt Zheng's goddaughter in order to be her roommate?

Mother Zhan couldn't help but chuckle.
