History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 46

This end was busy, when suddenly there was the sound of a bowl breaking outside, the old lady hurriedly sent someone to look at it, the little girl came back after a while, and replied: "The second old man got drunk outside, and started a quarrel with the old man."

This news frightened the old lady, she hurriedly asked everyone to stop, she held Jin Yan'er's hand to go forward.

As soon as it stopped, the voice from outside the screen came clearly, and the second master said in a drunken voice: "...Huiniang, she has been married to me for so many years, and now she even has a daughter-in-law. , how can I divorce her, father... please take back your life!" His voice was not low, with a slight pleading meaning, Lin Lang glanced at the second lady, and saw that her eyes were red and she was wiping tears with a veil.

The old man outside was unmoved, and the old lady also walked around the screen and pleaded: "It's rare for the whole family to gather together, how nice it is to be so harmonious. The master doesn't look at the second child's face, but also looks at the Kun'er brothers and sisters." It’s not good, just look at me too!” The elderly woman, when she was emotional at the end, she also started to cry, while pointing her eyes at He Wentao, trying to convince him to be soft and evasive.

Unexpectedly, He Wentao stuck his neck and refused to admit his mistake. He only said that the second wife had done a lot of hard work in raising children, and she must not give up.The old man became more and more upset, and said angrily: "My He family passed on the etiquette of poetry and books, and leaving that wicked woman behind always makes the house restless." Come.

When the sons grew up one after another, it was when He Zhiqiu's official career was smooth and busy. Because He Wenhan was the eldest son, he paid attention to matching and married the eldest lady, a lady from a famous family.As for the second son, He Wentao, he was not as promising as He Wenhan, and he was not the eldest son, so He Zhiqiu handed over the marriage to the old lady.

At that time, the old lady's natal family was declining day by day, and she wanted to take care of her niece, but Kuang felt that the eldest lady was not easy to deal with, so she married the second wife, An Shi, into the family, which meant to cultivate her arms.

At that time, He Zhiqiu was quite at ease with the old lady, and did not delve into the details of the second lady. Later, he vaguely heard that the second lady was violent and insensible when she was in her boudoir, and had two unspeakable incidents, so she became a little prejudiced.

After so many years, the old lady has noticed all kinds of behaviors of the second wife. Although she doesn't like it, it is not easy to intervene.Who would have thought that He Jinyu's behavior was not right, Jiang and Qin's being harmed, the old man's anger was completely ignited!
Not teaching an adopted daughter is a serious crime, but who would have thought that the second wife would have evil intentions and intend to harm the elder sister-in-law and grandson?Most of the eldest lady's natal family and relatives are high-ranking and powerful. Qin's father is an important member of the party and has a close relationship with his private teacher. If something happens, the impact on He Wenhan and He Wenzhan cannot be underestimated!With all these things, the old man couldn't stand the second daughter-in-law any longer.

Now at the family banquet in the whole family, He Wentao got drunk and brought up this incident. The old man was angry with the behavior of the second wife, but also annoyed that He Wentao had no idea and was played by a woman.

The second master is a person with soft ears. He listened to the instigation of the second wife in the early years and drove an aunt and concubine to live in Zhuangzi. When the mother and daughter died in Huangquan, he never softened his heart. He has been obedient to the second wife all these years .Seeing that the old man was furious at this moment, he blurted out: "Since father thinks that Hui Niang is unworthy and insists on letting her out of the He residence, why not drive out his son too."

As soon as this remark came out, the old man was instantly shocked. He Wentao is going to split up?Even the old lady who was crying sadly beside her stopped, a little unbelievable, "What did you say, my second child!"

On the contrary, He Wentao was calm, "These things happened at home, and my son has no face to stay. Why don't we let our husband and wife move out, so as not to cause trouble to our parents."

There was no sound outside, and so was the inner hall.The eldest lady and the Qin family looked at each other, He Xuanji showed surprise, but He Jinyu drank tea as if nothing had happened, as if she had expected this long ago.Looking at the second lady again, although she is still wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she is no longer the mournful look she had just now.

So... Lin Lang suddenly realized, He Wentao didn't think of it on a whim, but he had it long ago?
Picking up such an opportunity to speak out, according to the old man's temperament, he would either listen to the persuasion and take a step back, or he would agree to his request to separate the family.

If this is the case, Lin Lang has to admire the second lady, it is quite a skill to make He Wentao so obedient!
After being quiet for a long while, the old man's cold and low voice came from outside, "Then move out!" He Wenhan and others next to him persuaded, but the father and son were stubborn, and the old lady's words were useless. There is nothing to say about this, and Mr. He has the final say on all major matters in the mansion, if he insists on doing so, there is no room for maneuver.

A family banquet broke up unhappy, and when Lin Lang followed He Wenzhan and Qin Shi back to the Lanling Courtyard, her hands were still sweating.

The situation at the end of the banquet just now was really frightening, even the eldest lady was walking on thin ice, and they and the younger generation couldn't even hold their breath.Lin Lang still remembered the pale face of the old lady when she left. She probably would not have expected that the painstaking efforts to find a Cui Ying would lead to such a result.What's more, he didn't expect that Erfang, who had painstakingly favored Baal, would give her such an answer in the end.
