Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 88

"It's good that you can think like this, we can feel at ease outside."

Mrs. Tai sighed, the Yongning Hou Mansion never thought of gaining glory and wealth by relying on the merits of the dragon or her daughter, so Shuning would not get much help in the palace, and everything had to depend on herself, and the Yongning Hou Mansion could only As her backing outside the palace, as long as the Marquis of Yongning does not fall, there will always be people in the court, even if Concubine Jia falls out of favor, I believe that people in the palace will not dare to belittle her.

"Grandmother, mother, don't worry, I know what to do. As long as my father and brother are doing well outside, everything will be fine for me in the palace. I just hope that mother will remind my father to restrain his people more, and not to make public because I am in the harem." Get up and cause trouble outside, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating in the palace, and in the end I can only repay the emperor's kindness with death."

Shu Ning is reluctant to die, but she can only choose to speak seriously, only in this way will the Yongning Hou Mansion restrain the clansmen and prevent them from causing trouble outside. Throughout the ages, how many concubines' natal families have held them back, In the end, they were blinded to death.

Of course, not all concubines are innocent, but it is true that the concubines were dragged down by their natal family. It can only be said that there are still many people who pursue fame, wealth and power in this world, whether it is civil and military officials, princes and ministers, or the harem. The concubines among them are all like this.It's hard to find a few people in this world who don't fight for anything like Shu Ning.

Because of this, the emperor doted on her very much, mostly because he had seen too many battles in the former court and the harem, so he wanted to find some peace and quiet here with Concubine Jia.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will remind your father when I go back. If any clansman dares to make trouble, let alone your father can't spare him, even I can't spare him."

Mrs. Tai is not angry and prestige, her aura is much stronger than Shu Ning, a yellow-haired girl.Coupled with the fact that she has the title of county head, ordinary people really hold in front of her.

Fortunately, Shu Ning has long been used to it, so naturally she is not afraid.

"With my grandmother's words, I feel relieved. In addition to worrying about my family in the palace, what I worry most about is that no one in the clan will restrain them from messing around outside and bring disaster to the whole family."

"It's our fault that the empress is still worried about her family in the palace. Rest assured, the empress and the mother will restrain the women of the family well. As for what the empress is worried about, the empress understands."

It is not only men who can commit crimes, but also women.Many of the usury and exploitation were committed by the women of the official family. They knew that doing so would be harmful to their children and grandchildren, but because the money came quickly and the money was too much, they still did it regardless.

"The mother who knows my heart is also."

Shuning was really happy, what she was most afraid of was that her father restrained the man, but she didn't know that the woman was also making trouble behind her!Things like taking up lawsuits and exploiting huge profits, she heard several cases from Mrs. Wang when she was in the boudoir, and they were all done by the women in the back houses of officials. This has to be guarded against, so Shuning is more important than men. Don't worry about those bold women.

"After you say that, I understand." Mrs. Tai suddenly realized that since she and the old Houye retired, the affairs of the family were taken care of by Mrs. Wang. After a long time, she really forgot that not only men in this world can do bad things, This woman is much more ruthless than a man.

She had heard about those things before, and Mrs. Tai always disdained dealing with these people, and she didn't post posts for them when she invited guests to dinner, for fear of dirtying the gate of Yongninghou Mansion.

"Now I'm really relieved! As long as we don't cause trouble, there will be absolutely no problem in continuing the Yongning Hou Mansion for another 100 years. A man's fighting spirit is better than anything else."

Shuning took the teapot from Mammy and poured tea for Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wang herself.

"Your Majesty, how dare the ministers let you pour tea, we can do it ourselves."

Mrs. Wang wanted to take over the teapot from Shuning's hand. In the past, it was filial piety for Shuning to pour tea for them, but now they would be disrespectful to the concubine if they dared to let Shuning pour tea again.

"Mother doesn't need to do this. Although I am a concubine, I am also your daughter and granddaughter. Why can't I pour tea for you? Besides, there are no outsiders here. The palace rules and etiquette are usually for outsiders to see. The emperor is also filial to the queen mother." What about your empress! How can you not let me be filial to my parents and elders just because I entered the palace?"

"Thank you ma'am."

Seeing that Shu Ning insisted on doing this, and Mammy didn't stop her, she had no choice but to do as she wanted.

"You are just too careful."

Mrs. Tai sighed to her daughter-in-law, what is her granddaughter afraid of here, she is not an outsider.Besides, the granddaughter was taught by Mrs. Wang herself, don't you believe in her methods?

"Be careful and make no big mistakes!"

Wang sneered, she also knew that as long as Concubine Jia was willing, these people in the palace would have been tamed long ago, and there would be no one who betrayed the master.Besides, there are people from the Emperor Dowager inside and outside the palace, even if others want to do something, it will be difficult!As for them, as long as there is nothing outrageous, the Emperor and Empress Dowager will appear to be open-minded in the Yongning Houfu and Jiafei.

"Mother doesn't have to be so careful. When you come to your daughter's palace, whoever dares to bully mother will fail."

Shuning's eyebrows turned, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes. If someone is angry and attacks her family, she doesn't mind her hands being stained with blood at all.It was fine if she couldn't before, but now that she is in a high position and can't protect her family, what's the point of being a concubine Jia?It's not even as good as ordinary people.

"No one bullies the minister's wife, and the empress also said that this is the palace of the empress, who would dare!"

After thinking about it, Wang became a lot more cheerful, and she was no longer timid when speaking, showing the aura of being a housewife.

When relatives entered the palace and saw them, the smile on Shuning's face grew a little more.He also told his grandmother and Mrs. Wang about his interesting stories in the palace, which made them laugh and complain of stomach ache.When Simei outside heard the laughter coming from inside, they all showed relieved expressions. Since the Dragon Boat Festival, the empress has been counting the days, looking forward to her family entering the palace, and she insisted on getting up early this morning. I was satisfied after picking out several outfits, and even took off the medicine on my feet in order not to worry Mrs. Tai and the others.

It made a few people very worried, because they were afraid that the empress would accidentally aggravate the injury on her foot.They still don't know that the injury on their master's foot has worsened!
The emperor knew that Concubine Jia's family would enter the palace today, so he didn't come to accompany her for lunch, so Shuning directly left grandmother and mother to eat together, and did not let Hou Lin take the two wives back to the mansion until the meal was finished .

After Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wang left, Shuning sat down on the couch and cried out for pain.
