Chapter 132: The Fragrance of Peony Flowers
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of people sitting in the room, in fact, before entering the door, Qi Nian had already expected to see these people today, because there were many maids and mothers guarding the hall, and they all looked at their master and servant with fierce eyes, although they couldn't be disrespectful, but they didn't have much awe.

While Qi Nian lowered his eyes and thought in his heart, the group of aunts and ladies led by Mrs. Hua were also looking at her directly or covertly.
To be honest, the smell of fragrant powder coming from the warblers and swallows in this room is more smoky than the fragrance of the whole bush of peony flowers outside the house.
Mrs. Hua still sat on top of the head, beckoned to Qi Nian with a smile, and said softly: "Xiao'er, come here, let these sisters and sisters of yours know each other." ”
Qi Nian quickened his pace a little and walked into the house, first blessing his body like a weak willow supporting the wind, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said softly: "Xiao'er has seen my mother, as well as my aunts and sisters. ”
Although Mrs. Hua has never taken these concubines of Huazhang in the mansion in her eyes, she just wants to win people's hearts and show outsiders, and she is only kind to the children, and the aunts are not as good as the girls in her eyes.
After all, when Mrs. Hua entered the palace and cried to the queen that her daughter-in-law was jealous, it was not a matter of groundlessness.
But Qi Nian only raised his eyes slightly, glanced around cursoly, and already had a rough division of the levels of these people in his heart.
Although in the Weiyang Kingdom, the identity of the wife and concubine is supreme, the concubine is only slightly better than the lower people, and the children of the concubine are not as good as the children of the concubine.
But there is something different in Washington after all, because Mrs. Hua has never come out, that is, she raised the third son and the sixth lady by her side, but she still can't change their identity as concubines.
There are no concubines in the house, so the status of those aunts who have children has been greatly improved, which is exactly what mothers mean by their children.
And a hostess in Washington, who is also the county lord of Lu Yao, who gave birth to Miss Eight, she never cares about these twists and turns anyway, and takes Miss Eight to live in the mansion in depth, only occasionally at the invitation of the queen to enter the palace to accompany and talk, and the rest of the time even the people in Washington rarely see her.
So today, Lord Lu Yao and Miss Eight were not present, although Mrs. Hua inevitably invited her with false affection, but she was also very worry-free and always just declined.
Otherwise, in front of everyone's eyes, let the two housewives appear at the same time, not to mention the two of them, even the others stared at them with big eyes and felt very embarrassed.
To get back to the point, Qi Nian saw that these aunts with beautiful clothes and beautiful makeup, and the expressions on their faces were quite calm and unflinching, and he knew that they were either their children who were quite beautiful and blue-eyed, or they were very favored by her peach blossom father.
Yes, she said so carefully and without revealing a trace, because she didn't want to cause any trouble.
Now not to mention that Mrs. Hua treats her as Qi Shu to take care of her in every way, this is still an ulterior motive and ill-intentioned care, and it is possible that one day in the future she will be recognized, and they will be mortal enemies of each other from then on.
Now the important thing is that before the hole in her identity is exposed, she must stand firm and have the ability to fight against it, rather than have another grudge because of negligence.
Mrs. Hua nodded with a smile on her face, and raised her eyes to look at the sixth young lady Hua Yurong, who was sitting next to her.
Hua Yurong reluctantly stood up, a smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she stepped forward and personally took Qi Nian's hand to bring it back in an intimate manner, and said with a smile in her mouth: "The seventh sister is here, my mother couldn't sleep peacefully last night because she was worried that the seventh sister didn't know if she could recognize her life, but she didn't sleep well all night." ”
This kind of flattery didn't change their faces when they heard it, but it made Qi Nian's heart stiffen, and he almost didn't show it on his face. Hurriedly raised a slightly worried but happy smile, and only lowered his head shyly.
The smile on Mrs. Hua's face couldn't help but deepen, and she said with disgust: "You kid, laugh with your sister." It's not that I don't know that she is timid and the most gentle and gentle, so stop making fun of her. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Qi Nian and pulled her to sit down beside her, and Mrs. Hua looked at her carefully with a smile and stopped talking.
Hua Yurong had a look of displeasure on her face, turned around and sat next to Mrs. Hua, and once again dyed the smile of the Ming ** person on the corners of her eyebrows.
The second aunt sitting at the bottom of the dress is not as dazzling as the others, and the gold and jade jewelry is not all over her head, and she looks like a solid person. After they all sat down, they smiled kindly, and said softly: "This seventh lady looks really good, no wonder Madame thinks of you like this, and looks forward to you returning home as soon as possible." At this time, we met, and we all liked Miss Seven very much. ”
Mrs. Hua was obviously very happy to hear such words, nodded with a smile and just wanted to open her mouth to speak, but she only heard the fourth aunt sitting on the lower right sneered first and rushed to open her mouth first, and her tone and voice were very yin and yang, "Listen to what the second aunt said, I don't know, I still think that this seventh lady is your own child." Which of our young ladies here is not good-looking? Is it Miss Six, or Miss Four?"
Hua Yurong, who was already a hundred unhappy when she heard this, suddenly couldn't hold it back, and was about to get up and take sharp words to gag her, but she only felt that something seemed to be holding her back, and she couldn't get up.
She couldn't help but look down, but saw Qi Nian sitting next to her as if he had inadvertently suppressed the hem of her clothes, making her unable to get up for a while.
After a pause, she lost the opportunity to speak, and the second aunt didn't want to be ridiculed by the fourth aunt for her words, and she couldn't help but blush, and she couldn't say anything.
Hua Yujing, the fourth lady who sat with the second aunt, suffered all the humiliation of her husband's family in the Jin State Mansion, and finally the Jin Kingdom prince fell into the water and drowned, and this account will be counted on her head by the world.
Now, if Mrs. Jin Guo is not a lonely widow with only one title to guard, she will definitely turn the world upside down for the death of her only son.
Although Hua Yujing is just a young lady in Xiangfu, even if she is not a person, Hua Zhang does not want to offend the powerful of the family because of her and cause trouble for her future career.
It's just that Mrs. Jin Guo was stimulated by the death of her only son, and she bit people like crazy, which also made Hua Zhang angry, so she no longer blindly let her, but fought against her with hard anger.
In this way, the gains of Mrs. Jin Guo outweighed the losses, not only did she not seek any justice for the prince of Jin Guo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also let Hua Yujing, a widowed woman, be sheltered by her mother's family, and she was taken away by the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the new mourning period.
