Splendid Book

Chapter 70 Bargaining
Mrs. Changping Hou was pinching the thing in her hand, and since the thing was delivered, she could tell something was wrong at a glance.The horoscope of a person's birth date is a detailed record of a person's birth, but she is not too old to be too dim-witted to see it. This is not Shen Hui's horoscope at all.

Since she was able to choose Shen Hui, she naturally inquired about her affairs long ago.It's not that she doesn't even know that she was born in Mingde's 18th year, but the owner of this birth date was born in Mingde's 19th year.The Shen family dared to send it just because the age didn't match.This is because they feel that their Changping Hou Mansion is easy to bully.

If it wasn't because of that little bitch, why would she be in such a hurry to find a marriage for Feng'er, she thought that finding someone with a lower status who would keep her own place would not cause disturbances in the house in the future.Unexpectedly, this Shen family was so greedy that they dared to take the horoscope of the concubine's daughter's birthday.

She didn't even have to think about it, this date of birth must belong to the little concubine who deliberately struck up a conversation with her that day. She thought she was just pretending to be smart, but she didn't expect to have such a trick.Mrs. Changping Hou is not a fool, she will not fail to see, Chen's expectations for this marriage, and the kind of care she treats herself when they meet.

Therefore, it is impossible for Mrs. Chen to do something to replace Geng Tie, and she already knew before that there is an aunt in the second room of the Shen family, who is very liked by the second master of Shen, but she did not expect that this kind of love can actually make a man Lard blinded my heart.Although Shen Lingchang had nothing to do with her, Madam Changping Hou thought of her evil son at this moment. If he hadn't committed the evil himself, she could have asked him to marry a better wife.

But now that such a scandal has happened, it's too late to hide it, so how dare he marry a high-ranking wife with great fanfare.

The woman next to her is Madam Changping's confidant. Seeing that she was still angry at this meeting, she immediately said softly: "Madam, don't worry, the old slave has already spread the news as you ordered. In a few days, the whole capital Everyone knows that the girl from the Shen family was knocked into the water by a poor scholar, and she was completely naked."

Mrs. Changping Hou showed a smug smile on her face. She was not the kind of person who would be bullied, even if her son caused such a thing.But it is unforgivable for the Shen family to dare a concubine to show up.She is not a generous person.

The reason why rumors are rumors is that when they are passed from one person to another, they are groundless and can be altered at will.Originally, these words were only passed on among the servants, but gradually they reached the ears of the masters, and slowly passed to the ears of the girls.

Basically, when it is uploaded to the ears of those boudoir girls, it means that the rumor has spread to the whole capital.

Now everyone knows that the girl from the Shen family fell into the pool, was pulled up by a man, and even her body was inspected.

The reason Shen Changle knew was because Shen Yue told her.She went to a girls' school, and after Qiao Yan heard this, she immediately used it to laugh at her.On the contrary, Shen Yue smiled lightly and asked: "It's the first time I've heard this. We have strict rules in Duke Wei's mansion, and maids don't dare to say such things in front of girls, and they will be beaten out with sticks. As for us These girls dare not pass a single word over their ears, let alone say it in front of others, so they don't have to lose the face of the family."

Although these words made Qiao Yan very angry, but after she came back, she still told Shen Changle about the matter.She knows that her weight in the family is not as important as her third sister.This kind of gossip really hurt the girl's face, so she didn't want her hard work in the girls' school to be ruined by just a few words.

Of course she knew who was in the sunset. When Shen Lan got into the car, she changed her clothes.She saw it clearly, the clothes belonged to Shen Changle.In addition to the fact that Shen Changle and Shen Hui had disappeared for such a long time at the banquet, she should have guessed that something would definitely happen.

As for Shen Changle's first reaction when he heard the news, Wei Yansheng leaked the news.The servants of the uncle's family would definitely not spread such rumors, because according to her aunt's housekeeping methods, the subordinates of Jining Hou's mansion would not dare to spread such rumors.

But Wei Yansheng didn't look like this kind of person, besides, her aunt also said that her uncle had talked with him personally.Even if she doubted Wei Yansheng's character, under such circumstances, Wei Yansheng would not be so stupid as to offend the Jining Marquis.So she suspected that someone else bumped into that scene that day.

Shen Changle couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Originally, what happened to Shen Hui was already enough to make people angry, but now they have made such a mess again.It's just that what she didn't know at this time was that her self-righteous uncle would actually replace the eldest daughter with his concubine's Geng Tie.

What she didn't even know was that the elders had already been alarmed by this incident.Because Mrs. Changping Hou personally brought Geng Tie over to visit the old lady.

"It stands to reason that this matter should have been resolved in private, but I just heard about something extraordinary today, so I was indignant for a while, and I didn't care about the rules. I can only ask the old lady to make the decision for me. " Madam Changping Hou had a smile on her face, but the smile was a bit cold, and it looked like a smile but not a smile.

Old Mrs. Shen naturally knew the purpose of her visit today, and it was nothing more than to ask for an explanation after something happened.The second child is stupid and did such a thing.But who knows that he still lives in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and he is still her son in name.

So no matter how ugly Madam Changping Hou said, the old lady can only pretend that she doesn't understand.Originally, in this marriage, the Marquis of Changping was the one at fault, but after Shen Lingchang did such an immoral thing as exchanging Geng Tie, even the old lady had to speak carefully.

After all, there are not only the two girls from the second bedroom in this family, but she also has three granddaughters who will marry in the future.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just say it," the old lady asked someone to serve good tea.

After Mrs. Changping Hou picked it up, tasted it, nodded, and praised: "It's really not a loss to come to you, such a good tea, you can't easily drink it outside."

"If you like it, I'll ask someone to wrap a bag for you later," the old lady chuckled.

Mrs. Changping Hou smiled and refused, after all, it was just tea, and it was not like she had never tasted good ones, so why would it make people laugh like this.So she chuckled and shook her head: "I should not have come to see you with empty hands. If I take something away from you, I will be scolded for being unruly."

She meant something, but even so, the old lady just nodded.

But Mrs. Changping Hou didn't come here specially to embarrass the old lady. After all, the old lady is the aunt, and the second wife is just a concubine.She also has a concubine herself, so she knows the difference the most. Even if the concubine does such a shameful thing, in the end it is not easy to blame the old lady.

So she put the teacup on the table, smiled slightly, and said: "I came today, just to ask you to call the shots and let me withdraw my marriage with the second room girl in your house."

The old lady's gaze was fixed, but she did not avoid or flicker.On the contrary, Mrs. Changping Hou took out a post-shaped thing from her cuff, put it on the table between the two of them, and said in a mocking tone: "As for the marriage of which girl in the house is withdrawn, how can it be?" I don't even know."

Nanny Qin beside the old lady blushed and looked angry and ashamed. At such a time, she, a loyal servant, should rush forward to teach the old lady a lesson for this uneducated woman.But when Mrs. Changping Hou came in, the old lady had already told her not to say anything.

That damned second master, it was because of his family's affairs that his old lady was humiliated like this.

In fact, Mrs. Marquis Changping didn't want to deliberately humiliate the old lady, it was just because before she came, she came up with a brilliant idea to let the Duke of Wei to make up for this mistake.At first I thought it was a dead cat, but after turning around, I realized that the cat was actually made of gold.

"If that's the case, then I'll call the second child and the second daughter-in-law here, and let you talk to them." It's not that the old lady didn't notice her tone, this woman looked like she was asking for something since she came in.

Mrs. Changping Hou gave an embarrassed smile, and then said: "Old lady, such things as postings are spread, I think it will be difficult to deal with the marriages of the girls in the house in the future."

The old lady's face froze, but then she sneered and asked, "Why, Mrs. Changpinghou is planning to threaten me?"

"I am a junior, how dare I treat you like this, but some things are really annoying. I also sincerely want to be married to your family, but you have also seen that what I want is to be a descendant. My sister’s gengtie, but what I sent was the gengtie of my concubine younger sister, even if we go to the emperor, it’s still justified by our family.” Mrs. Changping Hou immediately showed an aggrieved expression, she naturally knew the old lady’s So powerful, so I dare not speak to her in a threatening tone.

The old lady said lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, and it will be brought to the emperor at every turn, wouldn't it make people laugh."

Mrs. Changping Hou smiled awkwardly, and went down the steps, "That's right, I also don't think it's right to go to the emperor for this matter. But if it's a trivial matter, I'm afraid it would be an understatement. If it weren't for me If I take a second look, I'm afraid that people will have to combine their birthdays, and then the marriage will really be settled. Is this going to marry my sister, or marry my younger sister?"

The old lady scolded the idiot coldly in her heart.

It's just that Shen Lingchang is an idiot, even if he scolds him ten thousand times, he won't regret it.But now she is facing Mrs. Changping Hou, so she can't show any more thoughts on her face, and she can't let her see that something is wrong.

"I know that this matter is really wrong with the second wife, it's just about Mr. Ling, I'm afraid you didn't tell the second daughter-in-law in advance, right?" the old lady said unhurriedly.

Mrs. Changping Hou smiled awkwardly, but then she said: "It's just a child messing around, it's nothing serious. Even if you say it, it's just a young man's flair."

Although it is indeed an irregular thing to have a concubine's eldest son before marrying a wife.However, the seriousness of this matter is indeed as Madam Changping Hou said, at most, Feng Youfeng will not be considered by those top dignitaries when he talks about getting married again.But if Mrs. Changping Hou is willing to lower her status, why worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law.

But as long as the news about the Shen family's replacement of Geng's stickers gets out, it's a matter of morality.Even if this matter was done by the Second Household, the entire Shen residence would be implicated.

It was precisely because of this that the old lady allowed Mrs. Changping Hou to speak nonsense in front of her.Otherwise, according to her temperament, she will be beaten out.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want?" The old lady really didn't want to make circles with her anymore, so she asked directly.

"The marriage of the second room is definitely going to be canceled." Mrs. Changping Hou said, but when she raised her head again, she said with a smile on her lips: "It's just that the news that my family and the Shen family are going to be engaged has already spread. Now, I'm afraid it's unjustifiable to break off the engagement for no reason now."

The old lady looked at her.

"I'll venture to ask, the third girl in the family, can I agree with others?"
