Second-hand lady

Chapter 51

"Hmph, you actually did such a thing in broad daylight..." A strong ironic voice sounded, Wen Wan did not hide her disdain at all, and then said apologetically to the girl beside her: "Princess, please forgive me, Some people have low status and don't know the rules."

Miss Rucui was not angry when she met her undisguised contemptuous eyes. She first saluted the eldest princess, and then she covered her lips and smiled and said, "What did the fourth sister say? Can you explain it more clearly? Let me convey it." Tell your husband, lest he get it wrong. Also, did the fourth sister see something wrong?"

Hearing this, Wen Wan stared at her with a livid face, wanting to say that she was right, but also afraid that she would go and gossip with third brother, so she could only stare at her angrily.

The eldest princess looked at the girl in the courtyard indifferently. The scene just now made her eyes sting. She wanted to say something, but she remembered the girl's tough behavior on the night of the emperor's grandmother's birthday. She felt very subtle for a while, so she decided to ask her It's better for my second brother to study and ignore this woman.

"Wanwan, that's enough." The eldest princess said.

Wen Wan pursed her lips, and stared at Miss Rucui again, Fang and the eldest princess went to the warm room, Miss Rucui smiled and followed them.

In the warm room, many female relatives of the ministers who had good relations with the Duke of Zhen's government had already gathered. When the maid raised the curtain, a gust of hot air rushed towards her face, warming her face stiffened by the cold wind.

Seeing the Eldest Princess arriving, all the ladies and ladies in the conservatory came to pay their respects one after another. Covered by the brilliance of the Eldest Princess, Miss Rucui seemed inconspicuous until she walked to Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen residence. All the people found her.

The Eldest Princess came here on behalf of the Empress Dowager to congratulate Lord Zhen Guo on his birthday. It can also be seen that the royal family has favored Lord Zhen Guo. This made Mrs. Zhen Guogong and the Qin family feel honored, and talked to the Eldest Princess cordially. , so they unconsciously ignored the Rucui girl they hated.And because all the ladies present were distinguished ladies in Beijing, even if they saw Miss Rucui, they could just ignore it, so as not to be provoked into a state of preparation for battle unknowingly.

The room was harmonious and harmonious, and the wives complimented the eldest princess. At the same time, they frequently looked at the third daughter-in-law of the Wen family who was mingling behind Mrs. Zhen Guogong. People don't know that the queen mother wanted to marry Wen Liang and the eldest princess at the beginning, but who knew that she took advantage of a woman who was born as a maid.

But to their disappointment, the eldest princess chatted with Mrs. Zhen Guogong decently, and didn't even give Rucui a hand in the eyes, as if she didn't exist, and naturally there was nothing to make things difficult.

Seeing that the guests were about to arrive and the birthday banquet was about to begin, Mrs. Zhen Guogong was about to take the guests out, but she saw her personal maid, Cuiwei, come in and wink at herself. The anxiety on her face could not be concealed. Mrs. Zhen Guogong knew that At such a time, Cui Wei would come to disturb her, there must be something important, she chatted with the ladies for a while, and left the warm room under the pretext of changing clothes.

As soon as Mrs. Zhen Guogong arrived in the side hall of the warm room, Cui Wei said anxiously: "Madam, Manager Liu who is beside the master came over and said that the third young master is injured."

"What? Master Wen is injured?"

Before Mrs. Zhen Guo could speak, a surprised voice sounded.Mrs. Zhen Guo was startled, turned around and saw the annoying third daughter-in-law standing behind her at some point, staring at them with staring eyes.

Are the three daughters-in-law silent when they walk?
Ignoring the terrified expression on Mrs. Zhen Guogong's face, Miss Rucui pursed her lips and asked, "What's going on?"

Cuiwei remained silent, looking at Mrs. Zhen Guogong.

"When did you..." Mrs. Zhen Guogong asked her in surprise, why did she follow her.

"I think my mother needs me to serve, so my sister-in-law asked me to come and have a look." After explaining, he asked again: "What happened?"

Mrs. Zhen Guogong glared secretly, these three daughter-in-laws definitely made their own decisions!But at this time, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and asked Cuiwei what happened.

"The maidservant doesn't know either. Manager Liu came and said that the master and the third young master had quarreled in the study. Today is the master's birthday. Manager Liu is worried that something will happen again. Please go and have a look."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen Guogong was also a little worried.Of course, she knew the temper of the father and son. Although she hoped that the master would dislike the stepson, if something happened at this time, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders.

A few people hurried to the study room. Guanshi Liu, who was guarding in front of the study room, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them, walked over and whispered: "Madam, third young lady, you will each persuade the master and the third young master later. A little." Then he handed a medicine box to Miss Rucui.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's face was sullen, and she asked Cuiwei and Liu Guanshi to keep her mouth shut, and asked them to guard in the yard, and brought Miss Rucui who came hard-on.

In the study, Mr. Zhen Guo was standing by the table in front of the window, holding on to the table to breathe, and Wen Liang was standing not far from the door. Both father and son were confronting each other.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two looked over at the same time, and were a little surprised to see them appear.

When she saw Wen Liang's appearance clearly, Mrs. Zhen Guogong was taken aback. Miss Rucui suddenly felt distressed. She ran over from behind Mrs. Zhen Guogong, grabbed his arm, and said with a distressed expression: "Master Wen, what are you doing?" Will it become like this? It's very unlucky to have blood all over your face, doesn't the person who hurt you know that today is your father's birthday and it's not appropriate to see blood?" He said with red eyes.

Hearing this, the angry Zhen Guogong suddenly felt uncomfortable, thinking that the girl was mocking him.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong looked at someone who knew the truth and asked without words, and felt that this girl would open her eyes and tell nonsense more and more.

Ru Cui looked up at the man in front of him, his expression was calm and indifferent, the dark red blood stains snaked down his eyebrows and eyes, forming a stark contrast with the jade white cheeks, and there was a shocking feeling, as if his heart was being pinched.At that moment, she felt that this delicate man was too fragile.

Pursing her lips, Miss Rucui ignored that Duke Zhen was still there, and boldly ran over to move the chair next to Duke Zhen, let Wen Liang sit down, and then cleaned the dirt on his face with a handkerchief. He opened the medicine box and took the ointment to stop bleeding and eliminate blood stasis to apply to his wound.

Zhen Guogong and his wife watched someone ignore them and graciously clean up Wen Liang's wound, for some reason, they felt a little uncomfortable.And because of their appearance, the father and son who had been in confrontation both ceased fighting at the same time.

Seeing his son's shattered forehead, Lord Zhen regretted it a little, but he couldn't hold back his face. In addition, his son dared to talk back to him at that time, so he quarreled, and finally got angry again.

"My lord, why do you have to do anything if you have trouble getting through? You will be sad if you hurt my brother Liang, why..." Mrs. Zhen Guogong persuaded.

"Hmph, I won't feel sorry for this evil son." Mr. Zhen Guo kept a straight face, and the anger that had been interrupted broke out again, and he roared under his voice: "If Doctor Fang hadn't told me, I wouldn't know that he married This woman actually...has three kinds of unfilial piety, having no offspring is the greatest, and being a child of a man, he actually wants to cut off the incense of my Wen family, he is really my good son! If I had known that he was so difficult to discipline, I might as well not have had him!"

Mrs. Zhen Guogong was a little confused, but she could tell that it was about the issue of children, so she hesitated and said: "Master, Brother Liang has just married a wife, and the matter of the child is not in a hurry. Maybe there will be good news after a while. ?” She knew that her husband was a typical man from a big family, and he attached great importance to his offspring’s sons. Although Wen Liang had done a lot of ridiculous things and frequently rebelled against his father, the most important thing in his heart was his sons.Therefore, the future grandchildren are also very important.

"Good news? If Imperial Physician Fang didn't tell me, I will still wait for their good news." Duke Zhen sneered, "But what good news can there be if you marry a woman who can't bear children? He's trying to get angry I am willing to die!"

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's eyes widened in surprise, and she instinctively looked at the woman who was applying medicine to Wen Liang. When she finished digesting her husband's words, she suddenly felt secretly happy.But she soon thought of the connection, and began to comfort her angry husband, thinking of the good of the news.

Wen Liang listened to their conversation calmly, did not respond to his father's anger at all, until they finished speaking, Fang said: "Whether you accept it or not, I have already married her, and this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. If you I can’t do anything if I’m not satisfied.”

Duke Zhen sneered, thinking he would have nothing to do with them if they moved out of the emperor? "Although it is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, if the woman commits seven crimes, the emperor can't say anything. Divorce her immediately, and I will choose a noble daughter from a family with good family status and good looks for you to marry, who will be better than her." A hundred times, you will have many children in the future."

"So that my husband can be a stud and give birth to children full-time?" Miss Rucui who had been quietly treating Wen Liang's wounds interjected.

"You..." Zhen Guogong was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he pointed at her with trembling fingers.

Wen Liang, who had been calm all the time, couldn't help but help his forehead.

Miss Rucui sighed, and continued to ask: "Father, how many children do you want your husband to have? Boys and girls? Why do you have so many children? As the saying goes, children are the debts of their parents. Daddy, how much debt do you want your husband to bear?" ?”

Wen Liang always felt that the girl's words were ambiguous, so he interjected: "Girl, I'm a man, so I can't have children."

"It's the same. Without you, women can't have children. Don't mind what I say, as long as you understand."

"..."

Duke Zhen couldn't help but exploded, "Shut up, don't interrupt when men talk about women!" Then he glared at his son and said forcefully: "If you don't want to divorce her, it's okay to hire a woman with a higher status to continue the incense for my Wen family. It's enough to raise the child under her name. Anyway, with her background, even if she can give birth to an excellent child, she will not be able to give birth to an outstanding child." In anger, her mouth was also vicious.

"Father, do you know again?" Miss Rucui couldn't help retorting, "If it's another woman, can you give birth to an excellent child? Even if you give birth to an excellent child, you won't grow crooked? Even if you don't grow crooked, you Are you sure he won't teach crooked? Even if you don't teach crooked, are you sure he won't be influenced by the outside world to become bad in the future? Even if he is not affected and not bad, are you sure he won't go crooked because he is a concubine and questions his identity? road……."

"..."

Hearing her series of rhetorical questions, asked quickly and urgently, Lord Zhen was a little dizzy from being surrounded by her, and before he could respond, his "good son" also followed suit.

"That's right, a person who is as upright as you recognize as Dad, didn't he give birth to a son as stubborn as me? So, even if other women can have children, they may not necessarily give birth to excellent children. And are you sure that other women won't keep having daughters like you, Dad? So don't be too stubborn, Dad, you can't be too confident and you will be punished!" Wen Liangqing smiled lightly, but his eyes were full of tears. The color of mockery.

After all, Wen Liang got up, pushed back the hair that had been splashed with tea, and Mo Yu looked at Lord Zhen Guo with his eyes, and said slowly: "Father, there are some things that cannot be forced. When mother died, didn't you tell me that?" Mine? So now I return this sentence to you intact."

Hearing this, Lord Zhen's anger disappeared inexplicably, and he looked at the man in front of him with complicated eyes. It turned out that he had been brooding over those things and hated him all the time.This realization made him a little old instantly, and he really wanted to tell his son that in order to keep the Zhen Guo Mansion, he had to do it. If he didn't give up some things, the whole Zhen Guo Mansion would be buried with him.

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Wen Liang touched the wound on his forehead, lowered his eyelashes and said: "I will not divorce my wife, nor will I take a concubine! As for the children, don't worry, don't we already have a ready-made child, the little one of Su Wang's family?" The prince still wants to call us foster father and adoptive mother, so you don’t have to worry about your son’s death and no one will die.”

"Bastard, how can it be compared?" Duke Zhen was almost pissed off by this son, and at the same time his heart was half cold.Finally, I realized that it was this son's handwriting that caused a lot of uproar when the young son of Su Wang's mansion recognized a maid as his adoptive mother a while ago.

Wen Liangqing smiled lightly, put away the thoughts in his eyes, and said flatly: "Father, please forgive my son for being unwell and injured, and I will go back to recuperate first. My son is here to congratulate you on your birthday, and wish you all the best East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan, every year has today, every year has today.”

Mr. Zhen Guo had a serious face, and felt that the birthday words were extremely harsh.

After Wen Liang took his wife to salute his father, he took her out and left this place without looking back.

After getting into the carriage, Wen Liang leaned against the wall of the carriage, accidentally touched the wound on his forehead, and immediately hissed.

Miss Rucui hurriedly supported his face with both hands, carefully looked at his injuries, and said angrily, "Why didn't you run away when Dad hit you with a teacup? When you were in Tongcheng, even the imperial doctor was able to carry it. I don't believe it." You can't hide from a teacup!"

Wen Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Girl, can you stop mentioning it? Doctor Sun has annoyed me for a long time because of this matter."

Miss Rucui bit her lips, knelt down in front of him, leaned over and kissed his temple, her voice was full of pity, "Father, it's too much, and it's not your fault, why did you have to do it so hard?" Hands? And who told dad about my infertility? How did you choose it at this time? Isn’t it just an embarrassment for others?”

Wen Liang leaned his face against her chest, put his hands around her waist, and looked deeply, "It was Imperial Physician Fang who told Dad, but Imperial Physician Fang didn't know about it beforehand, so he should have known by chance. Imperial Physician Fang is a quick-tempered person. I can't hold back the matter, especially because of his friendship with my father, it's not surprising that he would tell my father the first time. He will choose today, probably because the other party wants to make this matter big."

"It's a pity, Mr. Wen, you just left, you don't want to be watched by others, do you?" Ru Cui interjected.

"Yes!" Wen Liang said with a smile, then looked up at the girl who was half a head taller than him because of her kneeling posture, kissed her small chin and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Looking down at him, Ru Cui put her arms around his shoulders and responded softly.
