487. Divorce
Mrs. Zhu's Wang family's face was cold as if she could scrape off a layer of frost, and when she looked at the Duchess of Dingguo's mouth opening and closing, her brain hurt.
ββ¦β¦ The little girl has been feeling unwell recently, and she is afraid that she will have to recuperate for a while, so she came to talk to Mrs. Zhu, let's stop this family matter. Duchess Dingguo smiled apologetically, but her eyes were very firm, she knew that after that incident, this family was afraid that it would not be possible, and instead of the man coming to withdraw from the marriage and damaging the daughter's reputation, it was better for her to propose it first, and it would be irrelevant for men and women to marry in the future.
Wang secretly gritted his teeth, saying that he was unwell, it was a pretext at all, and it was not because of Princess Fengyi.
She originally wanted to use the marriage to let Brother Xuan marry two wives, even if Feng Yi made a fuss again, she simply had such a famous lady as the sister of the Marquis of Dingguo to support the faΓ§ade, as long as she was the mother-in-law to the sister of the Wang family, even if Feng Yi was precious, she could not act arbitrarily, but she didn't expect that before the holy decree was issued, the Duchess of Dingguo would come to the house to withdraw from her relatives, how could she answer?
Wang frowned, and was silent for a long time before saying: "This family matter is also decided by the old lady, and the two Geng posts have passed, otherwise wait for a while, and wait for Sister Lin's body to get better......"
"I've already brought Geng Ti here," Duchess Dingguo didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she directly interrupted her, took out the bronzing red bottom Geng Ti from her sleeve pocket, and put it on the table with a smile, "It's really my sister's fate with Zhu Dagongzi, and this family matter retired earlier, which also delayed Zhu Dagongzi." β
Even the Geng post was ready, and the expression on Mrs. Zhu's face sank a little.
After a few pauses, she spoke: "This matter has to be discussed with the old lady before it can be decided, but now that the old lady is sick at home, if there is a problem because of these things, it will be difficult for the queen mother to explain." β
The smile on Duchess Dingguo's face immediately fell, and it was ridiculous to use the queen to press her! She originally thought that the Zhu family was a Hongru family, and in the future, Sister Lin could live a quiet life for a few days when she got married, how did she know that Mrs. Zhu turned out to be such a face, and it was very good when she was married, and once she wanted to withdraw from her family, she would shrink back, could it be that she still expected Sister Lin to be small? Even the queen mother's family can't do this to her daughter!
Duchess Dingguo said coldly: "Since Mrs. Zhu said so, then I won't hide it, what am I coming to withdraw from my relatives today, I think Mrs. Zhu knows very well, if Mrs. Zhu still wants to deal with our Dingguo Mansion in the future, we will retire smoothly, and we will save the ugly face when we meet in the future." β
Having said that, it would be inappropriate for Wang to pretend to be deaf and dumb again.
She took a deep breath and said: "I naturally know the meaning of Madame's words, and we don't want to do such a thing, but the family affairs of the two families have been decided, so I retreated in such a hurry and let people know, wouldn't it have an impact on Sister Lin'er's reputation, I think it's better to talk about marriage after this matter settles down for a while." β
Duchess Dingguo glanced at Wang coldly, with an indescribable chill in her eyes, "What Mrs. Zhu said, this matter has nothing to do with our Sister Lin, and the withdrawal is for the convenience of your family, if you refuse to retreat, I have to ask Brother Jue to hand over the fold and ask the emperor to judge this matter. β
Wang's face suddenly tightened, and he didn't expect that the Duchess of Dingguo, who had always been a clay man, would say such threatening words.
If this matter is really brought to the emperor, the Marquis of Dingguo has just quelled the rebellion in the Horse Market in the northwest, I am afraid that the emperor may not be biased towards the Zhu family in favor of the Zhu family in terms of the love of the queen mother's family, and when the time comes, it will be pushed to the cusp, and Brother Xuan'er's marriage will be even more out of control.
For a while, frustration filled Wang's heart.
The Duchess of Dingguo fell for a long time, and did not see Wang's reply, the two compartments were silent, and the atmosphere in the flower hall became dull and mysterious, like a messy landscape painting being soaked, and the heavy ink color was smudged, and the snow-white rice paper was mottled.
Suddenly, a little maid came in and said, "Madam, the holy decree has arrived, and the father-in-law who delivered the decree is waiting outside the weeping flower gate, and the old lady has already passed first, let the slave and maid come and invite you." β
Wang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart jumped, could this holy decree be ......
Duchess Dingguo stood up and glanced at the Wang family lightly: "Since there is something in the house, then don't bother, Mrs. Zhu should also think about it, so as not to do anything embarrassing to each other." β
Watching the Duchess of Dingguo walk out of the flower hall, Wang only felt trembling all over, how could things get to this point?
The Duchess of Dingguo is obviously a weak and easy to pinch character, why is she so arrogant today? Could it be because I didn't explain the matter? But couldn't the Duchess of Dingguo hear the meaning of her words? Even if there is Princess Fengyi, Wang Lin is also a wife when she marries in, Princess Fengyi is too old to give the status of a flat wife, but with her mother-in-law protecting Wang Lin, will Wang Lin still suffer any grievances?
What Wang doesn't understand is the Duchess of Dingguo's love for her daughter, originally because of the title in the Dingguo Mansion, the second uncle and his mother-in-law have been arguing endlessly, and now because of Wang Jue's errand in the northwest, it will stop, how can she be willing to marry her daughter to a family with a complex back house.
Wang hurriedly tidied up his clothes and went to the Hanging Flower Gate, the eunuch holding the holy decree had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Wang, he nodded with a smile.
Wang hurriedly knelt behind Mrs. Zhu, and after the family knelt down together, the eunuch unfolded the holy decree and read: "The emperor was ordered by heaven to say: Zhu Xuan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, is quick in thinking, outstanding in style, respectful and cautious, and the queen mother is very happy when she hears it, and she is hereby married to Chu Moyu, the eldest daughter of the emperor, the eldest princess of Fengyi." All etiquette is responsible for the etiquette department to choose a good day to complete the marriage, and I admire this. β
Wang's heart sank inch by inch, and what she was most worried about still happened.
The eldest princess of Fengyi, Chu Moyu, these words have become the hatred of her life.
β¦β¦
Mrs. Zhu seemed to be ten years old in an instant, lying on the beauty couch with a depressed expression, and the housekeeper's mother gently rubbed her head on the side, but it couldn't relieve her fatigue at all.
"Now it can only come according to the will."
Mrs. Zhu spit out such a sentence for a long time, raised her eyes to look at Wang, and saw the resentment on her face, and couldn't help frowning: "Put away the resentment on your face, no matter what, this is a great joy, don't show me any clues in front of people!" β
Wang nodded respectfully, and a difficult smile appeared on his face: "Mother, the family affair with the Dingguo Mansion ......"
"You can't quit this family business!" This is a good family affair that she has chosen thousands of times, and she can't lose her good granddaughter-in-law because of a Fengyi.
Wang's eyes lit up, "That ......"
Mrs. Zhu muttered: "We still have Brother Bi'er, and we will exchange our family affairs for Brother Bi'er." β
