Chapter 454: The palace decrees
Mu Zhizhen's matter must be communicated with Li Yu, He Linwan wrote a letter to Li Yu after thinking about it again, as for how to deal with it, it is Li Yu's own business, He Linwan can't give him any advice, after all, Mu Zhizhen is not her family.
But seeing Li Heng's appearance after learning that he had been betrayed, He Linwan was still a little worried about Li Yu in his heart. No matter how hard a person's external armor is, his heart, liver, and lungs are still made of flesh, and it will hurt.
Li Yu's reply to He Linwan was very fast, rare and concise, with only one line of words: I know, I'll deal with it.
He Linwan didn't care about Mu Zhizhen's affairs anymore, and she didn't have time to ask, because she and other ladies in the capital received the queen's will to announce her into the palace.
This year's small election is coming.
In addition to He Linwan, there is also a He Zhen who received the will, and some people are happy and some are worried about this result.
On the second day after receiving the will, He Lin went to greet Wei in the evening, and when Wei wanted to explain a few words to her, Cao came with He Zhen.
The Cao family was also anxious, and said to the Wei family without taking care of He Linwan's presence: "Third aunt, can my Zhen'er not enter the palace? Isn't there still He Ling in the He family? It just so happens that the fourth brother and sister want He Ling to go, can you think of a way to change the candidate?" ”
Wei sighed and said to Cao: "Second daughter-in-law, it's not that I won't help you. He Ling's entry into the palace was not arranged by me, this is what your mother meant. ”
Cao pleaded: "Third aunt, although I am not in your room, but this is the uncle's mansion, and the affairs of the mansion should be you and the uncle's decision." My mother ......"
Before Cao's words were finished, he heard a report from the maid outside: "Madam, the second lady is here." ”
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the second lady Qin was already standing at the door, and they didn't know if she heard Cao's words just now.
Qin couldn't see anything on her face, she glanced at Cao, and said very kindly: "If you are not in good health, go back and rest more." ”
The Cao family took He Zhen and knelt directly in front of the Qin family, "Mother, please don't let Zhen'er enter the palace." ”
Seeing this, Qin's face suddenly turned cold, and Wei lowered his eyes and drank tea.
"Zhen'er is my own granddaughter, can I still hurt her? Get up, don't make jokes here with your third aunt. Qin said coldly.
Wei instructed the maid: "Don't go and help the second wife up." ”
Qin said expressionlessly: "Zhen'er's entry into the palace is a foregone conclusion, this is the decision of my father and me, you don't have to say it, go back to your own courtyard." ”
Cao's face turned a little pale after being helped up, she looked at the Qin family who had made up her mind, she endured it or didn't hold back, and said angrily, "You like power, you can fight for it yourself, why should I let my daughter sacrifice for your ambition!"
Qin's face turned pale when he heard this, "Who are you talking to!"
Cao Shi took a deep breath, smiled mockingly, and let go, "Isn't what I said wrong? Actually, I haven't known what you're fighting for all these years! I don't know how you can wait for the other party to die one moment, but the next moment you can coexist peacefully for the sake of interests." Your son used to say that you were not easy, and that everything you did was for him. But after I became a mother, I knew that a mother who really loved her child would not teach him to compete for fame and fortune when he was young, to teach him to cater to the drill camp, to teach him to follow his own heart in everything, and even his only daughter wanted to be sent to a place of cannibalism for profit. With all due respect, you're not loving your child, you're just being selfish!"
Qin Shi pointed at Cao Shi and was furious, "Cao Shi, do you want a letter of resignation!"
This was the first time He Linwan had seen the second lady so angry.
Cao Shi said mockingly: "If you write me a letter of resignation, I will immediately take Zhen'er back to my parents' house, I am so grateful!"
Qin was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands, a little shaky.
Wei asked the maid to help Qin, Wei never interjected, but He Linwan thought she was suspicious of watching the excitement.
The Cao family seemed to be about to tear her face with the Qin family today, and when she saw that her face turned blue with anger, she continued: "Of course, the premise is that you can pass the old lady's level. After all, it was the old lady who asked the second master to carry me into the door with a sedan chair. ”
Seeing that the Qin family was about to be angry, Wei Shi said slowly: "Second daughter-in-law, don't say a few words, don't make your mother angry." ”
Cao gave up.
Qin nodded, looked at Cao and said word by word: "You are very good." ”
Cao replied stiffly, "My child is good, I am good." If they're not good, I can't get any better!
He Zhen, who was already frightened by the situation in front of her, timidly pulled Cao's sleeve, "Mother, forget it, I will enter the palace when I enter the palace, and I may not be able to choose it anyway." ”
Cao Shi glanced at He Zhen and sighed.
Wei said: "Second daughter-in-law, you can take Zhen'er back first." The will of the palace has come down, and now it's too late to replace her, you might as well teach Zhen'er more while she is at home. Don't worry too much, Ah Wan will also enter the palace this time, and the two sisters can take care of each other together. ”
Cao didn't know whether he had figured it out or vented his anger, and after listening to Wei's words, he took He Zhen to leave, she didn't even look at her mother-in-law, and Qin's face was even more ugly.
I don't know if the Qin family originally came to the Wei family to discuss something, but because her daughter-in-law was so angry, she didn't have the interest to continue talking to the Wei family, and left in a hurry.
When only He Linwan was left in the room, Wei said to her, "Do you know why your second aunt suddenly made such a fuss?"
He Linwan was a little surprised, "Grandmother said that the second aunt just deliberately wanted to make trouble?"
Wei said: "Your second aunt has never been in the He family over the years, and she has never had conflicts with your uncle and grandmother. ”
He Linwan also felt that the Cao family was a little strange just now, as if she wanted to deliberately anger her mother-in-law.
Wei Shi smiled and said: "The list of people to enter the palace has been decided, where is it so easy to change people, your second aunt knows it in her heart." What's more, her mother-in-law finally came to my yard and was bumped into by her once, where is there such a coincidence. ”
"What does the second aunt mean by doing this?" He Linwan humbly asked.
Wei Shi said lightly: "She is just expressing her position to me, and she is on my side between me and the second lady." Because she knew in her heart that if she came according to the second lady's wishes, He Zhen's entry into the Prince's Mansion was already a foregone conclusion, but with He Zhen's identity, even if she entered the Prince's Mansion, she could only be a side concubine at most. Cao knew that He Zhen's entry into the palace was a foregone conclusion, so what she wanted was actually He Zhen's defeat. ”
