173 Talking about divorce
However, Marquis Zhongyong is really a big wonder, it has already become like this, everyone in the entire emperor knows it, no one knows it, he can still insist on remarrying this concubine's sister and becoming his own stepfamily, this is not an ordinary wonder. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd
thought that this incident had also affected his future, and for many years, the people of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion were pointed at when they went out, and their backbones were about to be broken.
If this matter ends here, it can be fine, but the subsequent events are even more bizarre.
After Marquis Zhongyong married his stepwife, this stepwife's stomach was also very competitive, and he gave birth to a pair of twin sons in the second year, which made Marquis Zhongyong happy.
The original wife in front of him gave birth to three sons, and he already has three sons-in-law, the eldest son is already six or seven years old, and now he has added a pair of twin sons, who were born to his most beloved woman.
He certainly didn't remember the son of his original wife.
All thoughts are on these two younger sons, more than ten years have passed, the five sons have grown up, the two younger sons have also grown up, and the appearance of the two people is the same, they are very similar to the Marquis of Zhongyong.
The Marquis of Zhongyong was faced with a difficult problem, that is, who would inherit the title.
Marquis Zhongyong naturally hopes to give the title to the eldest son of the most distressed twin sons.
But according to the rules of the Daewoo Dynasty, it is only natural for the eldest son to inherit the title.
However, there are exceptions, and twin sons are also sons-in-law, so why can't they inherit the title?
The step-lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she naturally wants her son to inherit the title, and then start a new round of trouble.
At that time, the three sons of the original wife had already become married, fortunately, the three brothers were single-minded, and they all supported the eldest brother to inherit the title, so the three sons, plus the three daughters-in-law, the maiden family of the three daughters-in-law, plus the three step-lady mother and son, so the life of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion in those years was extremely exciting.
It's really impressive.
This battle for the title lasted for about ten years, and in the end, the three sons of the original wife won the victory, completely killing the three step-wife, mother and son.
Lord Zhou has asked for the title of prince and has become the head of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
However, in the past ten years, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has also been smoky, and the people are panicked, and the people are turned on their backs, anyway, it is not a messy word that can be described.
And Zhou Yushuang is the daughter of this old man Zhou, a girl who grew up in such an environment, Mrs. Xiao can't imagine what this character has to be distorted.
Mrs. Xiao has seen Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Yushuang, Mrs. Zhou's spirit is a little nervous, after all, she has been living under very strong pressure for a long time, and her heart is also prone to problems, and for more than ten years, she has been living so worried every day for the sake of the title, which must be a little different from normal people.
Old Madam Xiao thought about it for a while, frowned and said, "What kind of family is this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, how could Your Majesty choose the girl from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?"
In fact, six or seven years have passed since the affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and everyone has gradually forgotten, and in the end, the title of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion was passed to the eldest son, which can be regarded as following the rules of the Daewoo Dynasty, and it is not so unforgivable.
Old Lady Xiao actually forgot about it, but when she was reminded by Old Lady Xiao like this, she remembered it, but she didn't take it too seriously, "How many years have passed, and now the old Zhongyong Marquis basically doesn't care about anything, that kid from the Zhou family, the old man looks good, and he inherits the title in a few years, and he should be able to make a big difference." ”
No matter what happens to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Master Zhou is still quite capable, it should be that these three brothers are very capable, otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the Marquis Zhongyong, the three mothers and sons of the stepwife.
"It's just that the old body always feels that it is not appropriate, the man has a future, it does not mean that the woman in the back house is also suitable, the girl of the Zhou family has seen it in the old body, and the old body thinks it is not suitable. Old Lady Xiao still didn't agree with Old Lady Xiao's opinion.
After all, men and women see things differently and think about things differently.
"What's wrong with Miss Zhou, you don't have to worry about it, if Your Majesty really has that intention, you will definitely summon a few girls into the palace and let Concubine Xian Niangniang inspect them one by one, Your Majesty has suffered a loss from the concubine, and he will definitely not let his son suffer too." Old Lady Xiao said comfortingly.
However, Mrs. Xiao is not wrong at all, Emperor Taihe himself has suffered a big loss, so he naturally refuses to let his son repeat the mistakes of the past.
Old Mrs. Xiao thought of this, and was a little relieved, if she let Concubine Xian come to check it, then she naturally had nothing to worry about, Concubine Xian's ability and character are still obvious to all, and it is really reassuring and reassuring.
"Then the old body is relieved. Old Lady Xiao nodded and said.
"By the way, have you mentioned the matter of the three girls and Lao Jiu to Your Majesty?" asked Old Lady Xiao looking at Old Lady Xiao.
Old Lady Xiao shook her head, "Where is the time to say it, and I really don't know how to speak, take it slow for the time being, don't worry." ”
Old Madam Xiao nodded, "It's good to take it easy." ”
If it weren't for Xiao Ziqing and Yu Wenyi who also made trouble, it would be okay to mention it now, but because of the matter of these two people, it is very unsuitable to talk about it for a while, so why delay it for two days.
"Well, the old man has his own sense of proportion, okay, I'll go to the study to read the book first, and you can rest too." After Mrs. Xiao finished explaining, she got up and went to the study.
was stirred up by Old Lady Xiao, and Old Lady Xiao didn't have the heart to continue to rest, but said to the maid beside her, "Go and call the third girl." ”
Mama Zhong smiled on the side, "Did the old lady forget? The third girl accompanied the eldest lady to Pei's house early in the morning." ”
Mrs. Xiao remembered that Xiao Ziyu also sent someone over and said that she accompanied Mrs. Xiao to Pei's house.
"Well, when the third girl comes back, let her come over. Old Mrs. Xiao still said.
"Okay, the old slave remembers, and when the third girl comes back, let the third girl come to see the old lady. ”
At the same time, Xiao Ziyu and Mrs. Xiao have just arrived at the Pei family, and the distance between the Pei family and the Xiao family is not far, but it is not close, after all, the Jin Mansion is a family with a hundred years of history, and the Pei family is also an upstart who has only risen in the past few years, so the place where they live is naturally different.
The place where the Xiao family lives is the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, while the Pei family lives relatively remotely.
But it's also very good, after all, Pei Shangshu is also a second-grade member now, so it is impossible to live too remotely.
Because the greeting post had been handed before, Mrs. Pei personally greeted her at the second gate.
In fact, Mrs. Pei has a lot of opinions about the Xiao family, which mainly comes from Pei Ruyu, Pei Ruyu suffered such a big loss in the Xiao family, and fought with Xiao Ziqing, and Wenxiu was also involved, but the Xiao family didn't know where to hide Wenxiu, which really made Mrs. Pei angry.
Pei Ruyu also made a fuss because of this incident, Pei Ruyu was raised by her pampered since she was a child, when did she suffer such a loss and suffer such a grievance?
Mrs. Pei wanted to quit this family business several times, but because Pei Sanye was not born to her, and Pei Sanye's biological mother, Aunt Chen, was the maid next to Mrs. Pei, she has been honest and responsible for many years, and she also has a little face in Mrs. Pei, and it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Pei cannot be the master of withdrawing from her family.
After all, Mrs. Pei is not very easy to explain.
This time, Mrs. Xiao came to the door, and Mrs. Pei was very unwelcome, but there was Mrs. Pei pressed on top, so she could only come out to greet her in person.
Mrs. Pei looked at the people who came with Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ziyu, the third girl of the Xiao family, and suddenly had some doubts, if it was to say that she was pro, with a girl who had not left the pavilion, this Mrs. Xiao's thinking was really a little strange.
But if it's not about family affairs, why did Mrs. Xiao come to the door?
However, Mrs. Pei tried her best to make her smile look sincere, "The eldest lady and the third girl are here, the weather is cold, let's go in and talk." ”
said affectionately and let Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ziyu enter the door.
The three of them took a sedan chair and came directly to Mrs. Pei's upper room.
This is also what Mrs. Pei meant, Mrs. Pei always felt that she and the Xiao family were about to become in-laws, and she must not neglect Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Pei and the little old lady are about the same age, but they look several years older than Mrs. Xiao, and they are not as well maintained as Mrs. Xiao.
But it also looks energetic.
Looking at Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ziyu's eyes, they were very amiable.
"The juniors greet the old lady. Mrs. Xiao bowed.
And Xiao Ziyu also made a big salute, "Say hello to the old lady, the old lady is good." ”
Mrs. Pei hurriedly waved her hand, "Hurry up, you don't have to be so formal." ”
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Ziyu stood up at this time.
Mrs. Pei actually didn't think that Xiao Ziyu would come over, and she didn't deliberately prepare a meeting gift, but the grandmother who was waiting for Mrs. Pei was also an old man in the house, and when she saw Xiao Ziyu, she had already prepared a meeting gift, and Mrs. Pei glanced at her confidant.
The henchman hurriedly handed over a brocade box to Mrs. Pei, who opened the box and saw that it was a bracelet with a whole body of jasper, and was very satisfied, after all, Xiao Ziyu was a girl from the Xiao family, and she had never seen anything good, and ordinary objects would definitely not be able to enter Xiao Ziyu's eyes.
"Girl, come here. Old Lady Pei smiled and beckoned to Xiao Ziyu.
Xiao Ziyu naturally walked over, and Mrs. Pei directly put the bracelet on Xiao Ziyu's wrist, "It's not a valuable object, let's take it with you." ”
Xiao Ziyu is a person who has been a queen, and you can see the quality of such a thing by looking at it.
Mrs. Pei's bracelet, although it is not a high-quality product, is also a high-quality, and the Pei family is not a well-known family, so this bracelet is valuable enough for her as a gift.
Xiao Ziyu said with a smile, "Thank you, old lady." ”
Mrs. Pei couldn't help but pout, this bracelet, Pei Ruyu had seen it before, and Mrs. Pei didn't say it, but now she gave it to Xiao Ziyu, she would rather be cheap to outsiders than give it to her granddaughter, and it was really too partial.
Xiao Ziyu has always been the best at observing words and feelings, and Mrs. Pei can't hide Xiao Ziyu's eyes if she is careful, so it can be seen that although Mrs. Pei has some means and cleverness, she is not a powerful person.
Of course, these Xiao Ziyu will not be spoken.
Mrs. Xiao was actually a little embarrassed, after all, she came this time to talk about the divorce.
Mrs. Pei was so enthusiastic about Xiao Ziyu, but Mrs. Xiao didn't know how to speak.
But this is still to be said, otherwise this time it will be in vain.
Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment before she said with a smile, "The juniors came over this time, and there is actually one thing. ”
When Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei heard this, they both looked at Mrs. Xiao in unison, and they naturally guessed that Mrs. Xiao was here for a purpose.
Mrs. Xiao coughed dryly and continued, "This time I came over, the junior was thinking about discussing with the old lady about the divorce of my eldest girl and Pei Sanye. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but be taken aback, not to mention Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei was also stunned, what is the situation, the Xiao family actually proposed to withdraw from the family, which is also a bit incredible.
The woman's proposal to withdraw from the family, if it is not for the man's major fault, such a thing is almost non-existent.
Because a woman's reputation is always inferior to that of a man, it can be said that a man's withdrawal has little impact, but after a woman's retirement, it can't be said.
Is Mrs. Xiao going to trap Xiao Ziqing to death?
Mrs. Pei doesn't look like it, after all, Mrs. Xiao is a virtuous person, and there is basically nothing that the entire emperor doesn't know.
But no matter what the reason is, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei's faces are a little unsightly, of course, if they are withdrawn from their relatives, who can look good, even if Pei Sanye is a man, they are a little unacceptable.
"What's the reason for this, the two children have already been married, it's a good marriage, why do you want to quit?" Mrs. Pei's voice was a little dissatisfied, after all, who was inexplicably dismissed, and the attitude couldn't be good.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't answer a little, in fact, Xiao Ziyu had already discussed it with her before, and it was definitely not the truth when she came to the Pei family, Xiao Ziqing's matter was not a big deal, and few people in the East Palace knew about it, and those who knew it were all Yu Wenyi's henchmen, even if it was a shame, it was only a shame at home, and a shame inside, if it was known by the Pei family, then the Xiao family's face would really not be saved.
So there is only one reason for quitting the family, that is, it is not a polite compensation, and then it is not appropriate to say anything, just that it is not appropriate.
Mrs. Xiao is a very straightforward person, and some of these lies can't be answered, but to be honest, this is also not okay.
For a while, it was a little cold.
Xiao Ziyu sighed, sure enough, it was right for her to come over, otherwise, with her mother's combat strength, she would definitely have to go back with a stomach.
Xiao Ziyu smiled and said, "What the old lady said is, but all the mistakes are the fault of the Xiao family, it is the Xiao family's failure to keep its promises, and this family business is also proposed by the Xiao family to be returned, so my mother and I can't compensate the old lady." Xiao Ziyu said and saluted again.
Mrs. Pei was a little depressed when she heard this, what kind of statement is this, she admitted her mistake when she came up, and insisted on withdrawing from her family, but she just didn't give a clear reason.
Xiao Ziyu's posture was very low, although he made a big salute and his tone was very sincere, but he didn't mean to be soft at all, as if he was just apologizing to apologize, I really don't know what Mrs. Pei is feeling in her heart at the moment.
Mrs. Pei was also young, a little breathless, and sneered twice, "I don't understand what the third girl said, I know that it is your Xiao family's fault, and even came to the door to withdraw from the family, what does your Xiao family mean by this, could it be that you didn't take a fancy to our Pei family and play with our Pei family?"
"You must know this family business, at the beginning, it was your Xiao family who took the initiative, and you were so anxious to decide on the family matter, and now it is your Xiao family who wants to withdraw from the family, and our Pei family is also a figure with a head and a face, do you just let you play here?"
