Lin Long's construction, Ye Zhong's family thought so, so as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he immediately sent someone to inquire about this Sun girl, and then immediately came back to report to her.

"Find out the ins and outs of this matter, and when I go to talk to Mrs. Sun later, I can know it in my heart, so that she doesn't always talk about our family's losses." Ye Zhong's said.

She should think about this rhetoric, otherwise she will spoil other people's yellow flower daughters, and it will not be reasonable to go to the edge of the world, but I am afraid that she will have to let Mrs. Sun scold her well.

Lin Long said: "I really know myself and my opponent, and I will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing this matter, the door curtain was lifted, and then a girl wearing a blue winter coat walked in lightly, and said with a smile as soon as she came in: "Mother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" ”

Lin Long saw that it was Ye Manzi who came in, so he smiled and said, "Where did sister-in-law go?" I haven't seen you for half a day. ”

"Didn't I just go to the poetry club for a while, and I didn't make much sense to come back." Ye Manzi smiled and sat down against Ye Zhong's family.

Ye Zhongshi nudged her, "It's all big girls, sitting or not, isn't this a joke?" Hurry up and sit down for me. ”

Ye Manzi pursed her lips, now her mother is always finding fault with her, but fortunately, she is sensible now and will not want to go crookedly. After sitting upright, she found that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not very good-looking, "What's wrong?" I don't look good at it. ”

"What can it be? Isn't it your second brother who is going to marry a daughter-in-law? Ye Zhong said sarcastically.

I am not too interested in Ye Xukai, the elder brother and the Ye Manzi who came out of the concubine, this person is dispensable, "Isn't he on Zhuangzi?" Mother, sister-in-law, which girl are you going to marry? I'm afraid that a concubine is not worthy of the daughter of a good family, not to mention that he has not even made a name for himself. ”

The words are full of disgust, and her feelings for the missing Ye Xuguang are deeper than this second brother.

Lin Long said: "Master Sun's granddaughter, marry someone in before the year......

"Master Sun's granddaughter?" Ye Manzi tilted her head to look at her mother, "Which one is it?" Then he suddenly looked like he was enlightened, and exclaimed: "It can't be the one who went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, right?" ”

"What? Do you know? Ye Zhongshi raised his eyebrows and looked at his daughter.

Even Lin Long hurriedly put down the sweet soup he had just taken a sip of, and his eyes were fixed on his sister-in-law's body, obviously curious.

Ye Manzi frowned, and turned his head to look at Lin Long, "This sister-in-law also knows." ”

"Me, acquaintance?" Lin Long's face was inexplicable, she had no friendship with the people in Mrs. Sun's mansion, and probably knew several long-term female dependents of Mrs. Sun's family, but she didn't know much about the younger generation, after all, although she was young, she was a wife and mother early.

She rarely participates in the poetry club held by the young girl in the capital, but she participated in several such activities with Sister Ye Manjun during the period before marriage. Not long after the marriage, she became pregnant, and then she had to be busy with many housework, and over time, she never attended such a party again, and even less interacted with the young, unmarried girls in the capital.

"Sister-in-law doesn't remember, when she visited the lake, she questioned the sister-in-law's jade skin workshop for producing inferior goods, isn't she the granddaughter of Master Sun, called Sun Siqi." Ye Manzi said quickly.

This is the stupidest thing she has ever done in her life and she is sorry for her sister-in-law, and every time she mentions it, her face will involuntarily blush.

As soon as her sister-in-law said this, Lin Long suddenly had an impression, she remembered that at that time, she was still angry and listed this person as a refusal to come and go, and at this time she had a preliminary impression of this person, and said in a lost voice: "Is it her?" ”

"It's not her." Ye Manzi pouted and said, "Among the granddaughters of Master Sun, she is the most bitter and mean, and she always relies on her identity to make a score, I don't like it." Fingers curled around the slightly longer broken hair around her sideburns, followed by a look of schadenfreude, "But now it's okay, she can't be majestic if she wants to." ”

These words made Ye Zhong and Lin Long both look awe-inspired.

"Sister Zi'er, tell Weiniang about this Sun girl, she is now in love with your second brother." Ye Zhong urged.

"I have seen this person once, and I had a very bad impression at the time, and then I didn't take it to heart, sister-in-law, what do you know to tell me quickly, I am still curious about her when she is young and is busy with marriage, why did she go to Zhuangzi to recuperate? After all, the only time I've seen her was in good health, and no matter how you look at it, it's not that weak willow that doesn't blow the wind. Lin Long was very curious in his heart, and besides, he was going to become a concubine, so it was better to know more.

"What kind of recuperation is she? It's clear that the family rushed to it. Ye Manzi dropped a bomb again, still blowing up the suspicious Ye family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Sister Zi'er, don't talk nonsense, isn't she the daughter of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family? How much of a mistake can a young girl raised in the boudoir make to drive her to Zhuangzi in the family? Isn't it some kind of loss of virginity or something? Ye Zhongshi couldn't help but guess.

If this Sun girl had an unclear relationship with someone else before Ye Xukai, such a girl, she would not marry into the door to ruin the door.

"Not really." Ye Manzi hates this Sun girl, and she doesn't want to slander her reputation, "At least I haven't heard rumors about this, the reason why she was driven away is because she is not Mrs. Sun's daughter." ”

This answer was too unexpected by everyone, Ye Zhong and Lin Long glanced at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

"Fill the concubine?" Lin Long put forward a conjecture.

Ye Manzi immediately nodded, indicating that her sister-in-law had guessed well.

Lin Long immediately figured it out, what he originally felt strange when he first heard about it was now completely coherent, no wonder this Sun girl would fall in love with Ye Xukai.

Ye Zhong stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead, this Sun Taishi's mansion is really a mess, and it is ridiculous that a good wife in charge actually raises a concubine under her knees as a concubine.

Ye Manzi said again: "It's no wonder that Sun Siqi, when she was born, the child born to Mrs. Sun died at birth, and Mrs. Sun was afraid that her daughter-in-law would not be able to think about it, so she made the decision to transfer the two children, afraid that this matter would spread out, and quickly disposed of the concubine and the dead baby, so Mrs. Sun has been raising Sun Siqi without knowing the inside story." After all, for the sake of Sun Siqi, Mrs. Sun had already gotten along with a good family, so she was almost hired, but this matter was exposed, and Mrs. Sun ......fell ill immediately."

This Mrs. Sun is the maiden niece of Mrs. Sun Taishi, so it is inevitable that it will hurt more, and seeing that this daughter-in-law can't accept the truth and falls ill, she immediately takes charge of driving Sun Siqi to Zhuangzi, so that her daughter-in-law can't see it.

Mrs. Sun's heart is also struggling, Sun Siqi is a child raised by her own hands, how can she say that there is no emotion if there is no emotion? Is it easy to go from being a little person to talking about marriage? But she has feelings and can't resist the diaphragm brought about by the identity of the concubine's daughter, in short, she can't figure it out at that time.

Because of her entanglement, the marriage that was supposed to be good for Sun Siqi fell out immediately, and later this matter was used as a laughing stock by the other daughters-in-law of the Sun family to tell their daughters, and the other girls of the Sun family were jealous of Sun Siqi, so they spread this matter as a conversation after tea and dinner in the poetry club, Mrs. Sun was angry again, and Mrs. Sun was angry for this nephew again, and she had a good attack on the daughter-in-law with long tongues, which made Mrs. Sun feel a little better.

This came and went, Sun Siqi's marriage had to be delayed, she was one year older than Lin Long, and now she has passed the age of eighteen, the marriage has not been settled, and because of the revelation of her life experience, she was relegated to Zhuangzi to fend for herself, it is a lie to say that she is not in a hurry.

She was still young and didn't want to be buried in the countryside for the rest of her life, or waiting for her adoptive mother to remember her one day and take her back, so she met Ye Xukai by chance, and when she inquired about his identity, she began to have a plan in her heart.

In fact, after calculating it, this matter was done by Lang when he was interested in concubines, and both of them were calculating that the other party could help them.

"That's what happened." Ye Zhong figured it out, originally thought it was Ye Xukai's bastard, but now it seems that people are "happy with each other".

Lin Long said: "This Miss Sun is too anxious, since Mrs. Sun finally sent someone to pick her up and take her back to her house for the New Year this year, I know that Mrs. Sun still has the upper hand in her feelings. "Besides, the concubine didn't calculate the master's mother back then, so she was still burdened by this matter." ”

Ye Zhongshi nodded slightly to agree with his daughter-in-law's words, "This girl is old, as long as she is a mother, she will always solve it, whether she is born or not, she is better than ordinary concubines when she is raised under her knees, choose carefully, and you can find someone stronger than Ye Xukai." ”

Ye Manzi didn't interject, the daughter's family who was not out of the cabinet was not good at discussing other people's marriages, even if this person was her second brother, it was in vain, not to mention that she didn't like this second brother in the first place. However, "Mother, then Sun Siqi really wants to be my second sister-in-law?" I hate her. ”

"That's something that can't be helped, it's a sure thing." Ye Zhong's face was also not good-looking.

She didn't want such a daughter-in-law, listening to the discussion between her daughter and daughter-in-law just now, she could barely guess that this Sun Siqi was the girl who ordered the girl, such a woman is easy to deviate, and she married into the door and didn't want to be harmonious. But seeing that Mrs. Sun is now willing to fight for her, she knows that this marriage is difficult to shirk, and she boasted about Haikou at her father-in-law's place, so she can't change it.

"But she's not a serious concubine, she's obviously a fake." Ye Manzi found a reason to refute, but he really didn't like to be under the same roof as this future second sister-in-law.

"What kind of sweetness are you Ye Xukai? It's not just a concubine, Wang Ba with mung beans, a perfect match. Ye Zhong said meanly.

Ye Manzi immediately laughed out loud, but he didn't expect his mother to say such funny things.

Lin Long was not good at laughing at in public, but his mother-in-law's derogatory words still made people want to laugh, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, in the end, he was not more presumptuous than Ye Manzi, and finally covered his lips with a handkerchief. "Now that we know the details, it's time to talk about it."

Ye Zhong's family also thinks that the concubine has the standard of a concubine, and in her mind, she lowered the specifications of this wedding by a level, anyway, Sun Siqi's stomach can't wait, and she can just mess with the wedding. "You clean up tonight, and Ming'er will follow me to Zhuangzi to finish this matter, so as to save me from worry."

"Yes, mother-in-law." Lin Long immediately responded.

Each has its own troubles, the old lady of Duanwangfu is no exception, for the sake of her grandson, she is running around begging for help, she is already too tired to straighten her waist but it has no effect at all, seeing that the case is about to be finalized on the Holy Side, what if she is really demoted to a concubine?

Duanwangfu is also disheartened, she wants to drink saliva and find someone to pour tea, and the big girl around her doesn't know where she died?

"Someone—"

She called angrily, but no one answered outside, obviously no one was guarding, so angry that her heart hurt again, lying crookedly on the Luohan bed rubbing her heart, intuition that her evening was bleak.

When she was depressed, someone put the tea bowl in front of her, she opened her eyes and saw that it was actually her granddaughter-in-law, the current princess Duan, and immediately took the tea bowl in her hand with tears in her eyes, "It's still hello." ”

Princess Duan stepped forward and rubbed the old princess's shoulder bones, and the old princess groaned softly, she felt much older in recent times.

It took a long time for her to hold her granddaughter-in-law's hand, "It's hard for you, wait ......"

"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law have something to ask for." Princess Duan didn't wait for the old princess to finish speaking, and immediately spoke up.

The old princess's heart jumped, and she suddenly had a bad premonition, "What do you ask for?" ”

Princess Duan immediately knelt down and looked straight at the old princess.

"You, what are you doing here? Get up, get up for me......" The old princess was busy trying to pull this granddaughter-in-law up and prevent her from kneeling.

"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law beg your old man to let me invite myself to the church." Princess Duan, who has always been like a wooden man, has a little pleading and relief on her face at this time, in short, the little face that has always been unnoticeable suddenly became a lot more vivid, and she also seemed a lot more beautiful, "Since marrying into Duanwangfu, I have followed the rules and done my duty as a wife and daughter-in-law, but even if I do well, I can't get a word of approval from my husband, so forget it, in his eyes, I'm afraid that there is no me as a wife." I couldn't think about it before, I couldn't control him, and I recognized his cold face in exchange, and I didn't hide it from my grandmother, I thought about leaving, but my father and mother didn't agree, they couldn't afford to lose this face. ”

Speaking of this, Princess Duan was already crying, she hated her previous weakness and powerlessness, and she couldn't even control her own destiny.

The old princess looked at her granddaughter-in-law in a daze and wept, feeling the sadness that the building was about to fall.

Princess Duan finally stopped crying, raised her head and said again: "What kind of environment is it now, my grandmother can see it more clearly than me, my father and mother ...... They finally opened their mouths to allow me to reconcile with the Returning Sect, and they were supposed to come and talk to my grandmother in person, and it was me...... I thought it would be better for me to come and ask my grandmother to go to church first. She stepped forward and took the old princess's hand, "Grandmother, for the sake of me having worked hard in Duanwangfu for so many years, you ...... Just let me live, I'm still young, and I want to live better in the future......"

"As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, I didn't believe it originally, but now I believe it, you actually want to abandon him at this time." The old princess pushed the granddaughter-in-law's hand away, closed her eyes and was in great pain.

Princess Duan hurriedly went to hold the old princess's hand again, "Grandmother, please compare your heart to heart, he doesn't have me in his heart, how can I stay?" Yes, I don't want to live a hard life with him, he is not worth it for me to give up these to follow him, how many white eyes have I endured over the years, grandmother, don't you know? You want to marry a side concubine for him, have I said a word? What decisions do you make, I will always be the one who is told, I know that my stomach is not angry, so I endure it. But now that the palace is about to collapse, I really ...... I really can't take it anymore...... Grandmother, will you give me a book and leave me a way out? ”

Speaking of emotion, she fell on Princess Duan's lap and cried bitterly, when she first got married, she also longed for a happy marriage, but the reality slapped her hard, and gradually she had no desire, coldly watching her husband hug one beautiful girl after another in his arms, and even hooked up with his cousin.

Sensei said that the old princess was afraid of the Qing princess, even if she saw this aunt, she had to look ugly and take a detour, this aunt scolded her at the time, it is better to be a woman like her than to die directly into the well, she just stood sneering and let her scold, just because her husband hooked up with other people's daughters, she was at a loss.

It's not that she doesn't know that everyone calls her a wooden person behind her back, but what can she do if she doesn't make wood? Now that she was finally able to come back to life, she didn't want to give up this last chance.

Princess Duan's crying made the old princess's heart more and more uncomfortable, she has always liked this hand-selected granddaughter-in-law, even if she invited herself to go down to the court now, she was only resentful for a while, and her heart was full of sadness. Counting that she couldn't stand her, she had been wronged for so many years, she reached out and patted the princess's back, "If you want to go, let's go." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Princess Duan finally got this pardon.

With tears in her eyes, she knelt upright, took a few steps back, and solemnly kowtowed to the old princess three times.

The old princess's old tears fell down in strings, and only she knew the bitterness in her heart, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, "While the will of the saint has not yet come down, I will give you the book of peace first, and collect your dowry and let your mother's family hurry up and transport it away, no matter whether it is good or bad in the future, you will not have to turn back." ”

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows." Princess Duan didn't use a handkerchief, wiped the tears in her eyes with her hands, and immediately responded.

She didn't pretentiously don't want a dowry, this is her future dependence, the life of the daughter of the sect is definitely not easy, look at the daughter of the right family and avoid living in Zhuangzi after leaving, it is also difficult to find a suitable person, but she feels extremely relaxed at this time, and finally no longer has to face that man.

For a long time, the grandfather and grandson were speechless, and the old princess didn't want to look at the granddaughter-in-law anymore, so she waved her hand and let her out.

Princess Duan didn't want to irritate this grandmother, after all, she had always treated her well, got up and silently withdrew, and when she approached the door, she seemed to think of something and turned her head; "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law still has something to tell, those aunts in the backyard have to leave, granddaughter-in-law has the courage to let them out of the house, each of them gave two hundred taels of silver to settle in, they followed the prince, it can be regarded as their hard work......"

"Let her go if you want to go." The old princess screamed in pain.

Princess Duan watched for a while, wiped her tears, and went out without hesitation, and she finally escaped from this cage.

As soon as she appeared, the beauties in Duanwangye's backyard surrounded her and looked at her hopefully.

"Princess, what did the old princess say?" They asked, babbling.

"The old princess is benevolent, if you want to leave, go to the account room to get two hundred taels of silver and leave the house." Princess Duan said.

When a group of beauties heard that they could leave, they immediately cried and laughed on their faces, which was extraordinarily wonderful, and then scattered in a swarm, and hurriedly went back to pack up the fine soft collar silver and left.

"Princess, these individuals don't even kowtow to you, is it difficult for you to give you any kind money?" The big girl on the side was dissatisfied.

Princess Duan looked at the stars in the dark sky, "Just think of it as a good deed every day, anyway, they haven't offended me anything over the years, and I don't care if I kowtow or not." He looked back at the big girl, "Let's go back and take stock of how much the dowry is, and the days to come will be long." ”

"The princess is talking about ......"

"What princess are you calling? In the future, I will call grandma, and I have done enough to be the princess of this Rauschzi......"

"Yes, Grandma......"

“……”

The night shrouded the earth, and Lin Long still talked to her husband about Ye Xukai after the meal, and she didn't say that her husband would know about it sooner or later.

"If he fancies, let him marry." Ye Xuyao didn't care, but the chill in his eyes flashed.

"That's what my mother-in-law said." Lin Long said, "I have a headache when I think of such a brother and sister entering the door, I can't get along with her before marriage, and I'm afraid that I will be congested when I enter the door." ”

Ye Xuyao took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at his wife's worried face, and reached out to caress it, "What do you want her to do?" She is a younger sister and you are the eldest sister-in-law, she should listen to you, and the concubine is different, if you dare to fight with you after entering the door, you can punish her. "When my eyes touch my wife's belly, which has been three months old, it will soon grow bigger, and my heart will gradually have a plan." For the time being, let them stay in the house for a while, and wait until the New Year. ”

Lin Long suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, "What do you mean by this?" ”――

Off topic -

Sorry, it's late, but it's the second shift tonight.
