Chapter 1: The Secret of the Deep House

Boom - A deafening thunder exploded in the sky, and the dazzling lightning that tore through the sky illuminated the earth for a moment.

Several mothers-in-law held shabby oil-paper umbrellas, braved the rain through several streets and alleys in the capital, and hurriedly knocked on the door of Taiyi Fengfu, which was located in Luo Lane, East Street.

"Master, uncle, the eldest lady gave birth and gave birth to a daughter." The mother-in-law walked to the side hall of the front yard and said to the two men who were waiting there, an old man and a young man.

When the two of them heard this, they were both stunned, and they showed some panic, but they did not have the slightest joy to welcome the birth of the newborn.

Feng Yunning, the daughter of Fengfu, climbed to the prince of Anguo and became the wife of the prince. When the law of the dynasty did not say that there was a wife, and An Shizi had already agreed to marry, the other party was also an official lady from a noble family, and Lu Yanran, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

And Feng Yunning's background is not worth mentioning at all among the ladies in the capital, but there is a brother who was admitted to the Imperial Doctor's Department as a little imperial doctor, and his family has only moved into the capital for a few years, but for some reason he has won the blue eyes of the prince of Anguo, and he would rather force the name of a far-fetched flat wife, and marry her seriously.

A few months after the second daughter married into the Anguo Mansion, Feng Yunning and Lu Yanran were pregnant almost at the same time. Because the two entered the door together, regardless of size, the prince of An Guo promised that whoever gave birth to the eldest son would be the rightful wife of the prince in the future.

Lu Yanran launched during the day this day, in order to give birth to her eldest son first, Feng Yunning took a decoction to induce labor, but in the end she failed to reads;.

"Girl, it's just a girl...... Feng Mingwen muttered, looking at the eldest son standing aside, "Yunfei, the few pregnant women that Mrs. Shizi let us raise a few days ago are almost ready to induce labor...... If a boy is born, let someone immediately take it to the Anguo Mansion and hand it over to his wife. ”

Feng Yunfei trembled.

Although I knew my sister-in-law's plan early on, when I really faced it now, the panic in my heart was still out of control.

This is not an ordinary concealment and deception, this is to confuse the bloodline of the Anguo Mansion - if one day the East Window incident happens, as an accomplice, how can he, a little imperial doctor, escape the thunderous wrath of the Xungui family?!

"Master Feng, slow down." A mother-in-law spoke up and looked at Feng Yunfei, "Our lady heard that Mrs. Feng also gave birth tonight, but she gave birth to a big fat boy who is full of pounds?" Madame meant, why bother to seek the near and far, wouldn't it be better for your own nephew to get along. Send our sister back to Fengfu to raise, and Mrs. can meet from time to time, so she can rest assured. ”

Feng Yunfei's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and the silver-white lightning that burst out of the window illuminated half of his cold sweaty cheeks.

At this time, Fang, the eldest lady of Fengfu, was sitting on the bed, and several daughters-in-law and little girls were busy cleaning up the mess in the delivery room.

Fang leaned on the side of the bed, holding his infant son in his arms, his lowered eyebrows and eyes were gentle. There was also a swaddling baby beside Fang's side, and she was gently patting it with her hand.

actually gave birth to a pair of twins.

Feng Yunfei suddenly stepped into the room, and Fang's nurse hurriedly shouted, "The room hasn't been cleaned up yet, why is the uncle coming in now?" Carefully bumped into the uncle. ”

Feng Yunfei waved his hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Fang Clan with a complicated expression.

"Husband." Fang's lips were slightly pale, and his soft smile was even gentle, "Husband, look at how well-behaved our two children are." ”

Feng Yunfei glanced at the infant child, moved his lips, and still said Feng Yunning's request.

"What?!" Fang Shi was struck by lightning, and looked at Feng Yunfei in disbelief, "How can Grandma ...... Husband, you didn't agree, did you?! ”

Feng Yunfei sighed helplessly: "After all, she is the person in the heart of the prince of Anguo......"

Fang Shi looked at her husband's helpless face, and her heart almost fell to the bottom.

Since she married into the Feng family, her arrogant sister-in-law has always looked down on her background as a merchant's daughter. Feng Yunfei is the son of the Feng family, but he is a concubine, so naturally he is not looked at by her. Feng Yunning made things difficult everywhere, and at that time, Feng Yunfei often persuaded her, after all, she was the only concubine of the Feng family, so that the Fang family could endure it.

Now that person is going to come and snatch her child, and with such a sentence, is she going to let her send her own flesh and blood to that woman's side? What's more, what she wants to do is so appalling, why does her child have to pave the way for her glory and wealth as soon as she is born?!

Before Fang could say anything, her grandmother-in-law had already started crying and knelt at Feng Yunfei's feet.

"Uncle, you can't do this to our girls! At the beginning, you insisted on asking for marriage, and our girl married into Fengfu, not that we want to climb high, but since we got married, we have been despised everywhere, have our girls ever had a complaint? For so many years, our girls have been caring for the old and the young, how can there ever be a little neglect of Fengfu? What a beautiful red makeup the girl was back then, but she didn't leave any of it for herself, and she used it all on the uncle. Thanks to the girl's dowry and silver, this opened up the official family, got the seal of the fellow Beijing official, and let the uncle be admitted to the Tai Hospital to get the official body, and the Feng Mansion also had a foothold in the capital. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that the Feng family is still running a pharmacy in Huaiqian's hometown. What about the cultivation and study family, if you can't enter the capital, how can your aunt and grandmother be qualified to climb to the prince of Anguo? ! Our girl doesn't ask her to be grateful, but she can't bully people like this! ”

Fang listened to her words, Feng Yunfei's face sank a little more, and he was busy drinking again and again. The woman had been resentful for a long time, and she was even more aggrieved, so she just shouted out all the things she wanted to say regardless of it, and then stopped, bowed her head and knelt silently.

Fang looked at Feng Yunfei with teary eyes: "Husband, ......"

Feng Yunfei didn't dare to look at the Fang family, her eyes fell on the two little babies in her arms, but she heard the Fang family say: "Husband, they are not only the sons of concubines, but also the sons of husbands——"

Feng Yunfei was shocked and stood up suddenly.

That woman has a sentence that is right, and now Fengfu relies on him to gain a foothold in the capital. Just because he has been a concubine since he was a child, he has always been the only one in the Feng family, and he has never dared to disobey her only sister-in-law, Feng Yunning. But now it's about his own son, if he can't even protect his wife and children, is he still a man?!

"Qiwen, I'm confused. Yun Ning had long been prepared, and several pregnant women were raised in the Zhuangzi outside Beijing to cope with this situation. In any case, we can't trade our children for her future. ”

Fang Shi cried with joy when he heard this, and reached out and pulled the placket of her husband's clothes. Feng Yunfei took her hand and patted it comfortingly, Fang Shi saw that he was still embarrassed on his face, and said after a moment of silence: "Now that my aunt and grandmother have sent someone to force her, if the husband is not good, he will categorically refuse, just say that the concubine gave birth to a daughter, and don't say that the concubine gave birth to twins." Let's just say that we are powerless and can't help our aunt and grandmother. ”

Fang thought that it was a foregone conclusion until the aftermath, and even if Feng Yunning was angry, there was no way to beat her child's idea again.

Feng Yunfei nodded: "That's fine." ”

In the back house of Anguo Mansion, the courtyard where Lu Yanran lived was brightly lit, the maids and women were busy in the heavy rain, basins of hot water were sent into the delivery room, and everyone in the courtyard was waiting for news with bated breath.

Feng Yunning's side was blinded by the black light, silently, only a faint smell of medicine and blood came out, and it dissipated in the pouring rain in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yunning sat on the edge of the bed in her cloak, her lips pale and dry from blood loss, and she was waiting anxiously in the dark.

For the sake of being a wife, she can only secretly give birth to children, and now she has to exchange her ten-month-pregnant child.

She has suffered so much and suffered so much grievances, she is bound to win the position of Mrs. Anguo Gongshi! Feng Yunning's phoenix eyes were scorching, looking at the heavy rain outside the window.

The mother-in-law who returned to Fengfu to report the news turned around, Feng Yunning impatiently excused her from the ceremony, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What about Fang's son? Did you get it? ”

The mother-in-law said: "Madam, we told you what you meant, but the uncle and the eldest lady disagreed, and perfunctory said that she gave birth to a daughter and not a son." Uncle tried his best to stop it, and we couldn't help it. Now that the uncle took Shen's mother to Zhuangzi to wait for the letter over there, I will come back first and report it to Mrs. ”

When Feng Yunning heard this, he smashed his fist on the side of the bed with hatred, and his red nails were pinched into his palms.

"Fang Clan, Fang Clan! You slut, how dare you! ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly persuaded: "Madame dissipates her anger, as long as Madame gets what she wants, there will be an opportunity to dispose of her in the future, but now she can't afford to be angry for her." ”

Feng Yunning sneered, his eyes closed, but his palms were clenched unwillingly.

It's just that in the future, she learned that the Fang family gave birth to twins, but she didn't want to bring a son to her, and she hated Feng Yunfei and his wife in her heart.

Not far away, Lu Yanran's cry of pain came through the wind and rain, and it seemed that there was still a long time before production. Unlike her, she gave birth to the child immediately after drinking the decoction prepared by Feng Yunfei, but this medicine caused a lot of damage to her body. Now her daughter is going to be sent out of the house and away from her.

If she doesn't get back this grievance she has suffered, how can she be worthy of herself and her daughter?!

Before dawn, Mrs. Shen finally came back secretly, but she didn't hold the child in her arms, and only said to Feng Yunning: "That village woman is too thief, she left a way to retreat early in the morning, and now she has to get the money and our sister before she is willing to hand over the child to us." ”

Feng Mansion now only Feng Yunfei is a little imperial doctor with an official position, Feng Yunning herself is only favored by An Shizi, but she has no power in her hands, and she does not dare to raise the name of An Guo Mansion to suppress others. After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden, how dare you shout around? was threatened by a village woman.

Feng Yunning almost bit her cherry lips, listened to the intermittent cries of pain in the courtyard over there, and finally gritted her teeth and smashed the edge of the bed: "Bring Qian and the eldest sister over, and bring the child to me immediately!" As soon as you get the child, kill the wicked woman, kill it! ”

Boom - another burst of thunder resounded through the sky, covering up the secret things that could not see the light of day in this majestic imperial city.

In a remote manor on the outskirts of Beijing, a village woman dressed in rain and holding a swaddling baby in her arms hurriedly escaped from the village and ran towards the mountain.

She used to be just an ordinary peasant woman in a small village outside Beijing, but since she married her current husband, she has given birth to seven children in the past ten years, and all of them have survived. Originally, she and her husband were hard-working and capable farmers, tending to a few acres of thin fields, and they could also earn food and clothing and feed a large family.

It's just that since the wind and rain were unadjusted the year before last and the grain harvest was poor, life has become more and more difficult. In the middle of last year, she was pregnant with another child, and she was in charge of the family every day facing the loess and turning her back to the sky in the ground, but the harvest was getting smaller and smaller, and the family was about to be unable to open the pot.

When she was in a dilemma, a few people who were dressed in wealth and concealed their identities came to the door, saying that they could take her away to raise the baby, and gave her ten taels of silver, saying that if she gave birth to a son and gave it to the nobleman in the future, she would get another five hundred taels of silver.

Five hundred taels, I am afraid that the Zhuang family will not see so much silver in their lifetime. She made a plan with the master, gritted her teeth and responded. After handing over the ten taels of silver to the master to collect, she resolutely followed those unidentified people to this Zhuangzi with her own baggage.

The baby girl was crying hoarsely, but her faint voice was muffled by the noisy rain.

The village woman pinched her with hatred, and gasped and scolded: "Little hoof of the debt collector, if it weren't for your ruthless mother who abandoned you and sent someone to kill me, you wouldn't have to follow me here to blow the wind and rain." If it weren't for the fact that I had exchanged you for a few hundred taels of silver, I would have thrown you into the ditch to feed the fish!" Although he said it strongly, he still pulled the child into his arms and blocked the wind and rain outside.

On July 21, the fifth year of Mingde, the two wives of An Zaiqing, the son of An Guogong, gave birth to Lin'er on the same day. A month later, Feng Yunning, the mother of the eldest son, was promoted to the wife of the main room.

After another half a year, Duke An Guo ordered his resignation, and An Zaiqing surrendered to the Marquis of An Guo. Because An Guogong is still alive, the specifications of the Guogong Mansion remain the same, and they have not been restrained due to the downgrading of the title, so those who want to tie Feng Yunning will deliberately ignore the rank of her Hou Lady, and only treat her as an upright lady of the Anguo Mansion.
