The guests have all gone, and the hanging lanterns are swaying gently, but there are faint shadows of lights in the bright lights. In the silence, Weiyuanhou's wife Xie flicked her sleeves fiercely, and a gold-painted emerald bowl on the table fell to the ground with a crisp and loud snap.

The maids who were waiting around spread out lightly, closed the doors and windows that were originally open around the light tower, closed them tightly, and then quietly retreated. As a result, even the lanterns in the building no longer flickered, and there was a general silence around them.

Hearing only a plop, Xie knelt on the ground in front of Mrs. Wang, and cried: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is uncomfortable, uncomfortable!" Rourou was accused of such an unexplained marriage, it has only been more than two months, and I heard that in the Chengwang Mansion over there, a concubine of the king of Na'an County is now pregnant for more than a month! ”

"This pregnant day is already so unbearable, Princess Cheng also offered the concubine as a treasure, so when Rourou enters the door in the future, maybe the eldest son is several years old, this is **naked slap in the face! Moreover, the king of Na'an County, not only is the house restless, but I heard that he is also chasing a merchant girl outside every day, causing a storm in the city. My daughter-in-law can't stand this, I really can't stand it, mother, I ...... I'm sorry Ah Zhun, I don't even dare to tell him the truth......"

Mrs. Wang's face sank like water, the eldest lady Shen and the third lady Qi next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie up, Xie fell on Shen's shoulder and cried bitterly, and Mrs. Wang said slowly: "I didn't expect that this King of Anjun would be so foolish, and the marriage given by the emperor was so indifferent." Princess Cheng too, Rourou is the daughter-in-law she personally asked the queen for, and now she is so indulgent to her son, this is completely out of our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion......"

Xie sobbed: "Mother, Ah Zhun hasn't returned to Beijing for the New Year for many years, it turns out that our mother is still accompanying her in the border city, and now even we are back, just he is alone over there, and now there is a soft thing, Your Majesty xià him...... He also endured to treat Zhongliang like this......"

A cold light flashed in Shen's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Mother, Rourou, you have an idea, humiliating our family like this, some bloody ones can't stand it." If my mother agrees, we will withdraw from this marriage, no matter what the timing is or not. Ah Zhun worked hard for the emperor in the border city, he didn't know these things, if he knew the ins and outs, I was afraid that he wouldn't know what he would do......"

Old Madam Wang waved her hand and said, "I know my adopted son, even if Ah Zhun knows, he will not do anything against the righteousness." Yunni, you have always been calm, and you can't say anything more. ”

Shen breathed a screen and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law knows her mistake...... Mother, you see ...... this thing."

Qi said beside him: "In my opinion, let's quickly find a reason to give Rourou a reason to withdraw this marriage." Then I found someone else to marry Rourou, and cut off their royal family's thoughts about what to do with our children! ”

Xie Shi sobbed and said, "But...... How can you find the right person so quickly, besides, just quit the family and set the marriage, this is obviously to slap the emperor in the face, in case it really angers His Majesty, then even that family will be implicated and killed by us. And we still have Qi'er in our family, as well as small saplings and wood blossoms, your majesty will take them out in case of a day......"

Qi said: "There must be a suitable person...... If you feel that it is not good to withdraw from your family, let Rourou go out to live for a year and a half before speaking, not under the nose of the emperor of the capital, and when Rourou can get married, His Majesty may forget about it, and it will not implicate other children in our family. ”

Old Madam Wang glanced at her and said coldly: "Third daughter-in-law, that family is just your nephew, or a cousin, Rourou They are your own nephews and nieces, don't be blinded by lard, you can't even think about this clearly!" ”

Qi Shi was shocked by her words, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law never dares to think like that, Rourou has kissed me since she was a child, I can't hurt her, how can I ignore her happiness, daughter-in-law just thinks about ......"

Old Madam Wang waved her hand tiredly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I also said it seriously just now, and I look at the child of the Gu family as a good one, but it is still a little tender, and the Gu family is also complicated, with his current ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect Rou Rou." Rourou grew up in a family like ours since she was a child, and she has been with her father for a few years, and her mind is too open-minded, I really don't feel at ease to put her in such a family. ”

"At first, I thought, although the king of Na'an County has a bad reputation, but it is difficult to say whether the rumors are true or not, Princess Cheng is really an understanding person, King Cheng is gone, and there are no messy people in the house, Rourou is really married, at least not from the sin of her in-laws. I didn't expect things to ...... It's still too much for my mother, but I didn't expect Princess Yema to be so confused now. ”

Old Madam Wang let out a long sigh, Shen and Qi didn't dare to say anything, and only Xie Wan's soft sobs and the old lady's sigh were heard in the closed lamp tower. After a while, Mrs. Wang said: "In fact, if there is a saying, it makes sense for my mother, it is better to let Rourou go out to live for a year and a half first, to avoid the limelight, now the wind and rumors in the capital, Rourou does not know, if you hear any rumors in the future, you will definitely feel uncomfortable." The child went out to live for a while, and she was sad to save her, so we did the form of re-observation of the elders, whether it was to find an opportunity to withdraw from the marriage, or to figure out what was going on, after all, we didn't have to bother to hide it from the child, and it was not easy to show our hands and feet. ”

Several daughters-in-law listened to their mother-in-law's words, looked at each other, and Xie said, "Mother, where should Rourou go?" But go back to her father in the border city? ”

Old Madam Wang shook her head and said: "It's not proper, Ah Zhun has no one else around him, and Rourou didn't even have a female elder to teach in the past, so she didn't have to make people criticize when she talked about marriage in the future......

Xie Shi's face turned red, and he snorted: "Actually, the daughter-in-law also said that she would give Ah Zhuna a good concubine......

Old Madam Wang glanced at her and said, "Concubine? If there is a concubine by the second child's side, Rourou can't go over, do you want the child to leave the reputation of being raised by a little wife? Our Lu family has no rules for taking concubines, not to mention that you gave birth to four sons and one daughter for him, if he still wants to take a concubine, he will be too ignorant. ”

Xie Shi was silent, but his expression was obviously relaxed.

Old Madam Wang looked at the look on her face, sighed, looked at the Shen family and Qi and said, "Daughters-in-law, the rule that our Lu family does not accept concubines is something that our ancestors have, you don't have to have a shadow in your heart because of this matter." ”

"The eldest and the third daughter-in-law, my mother knows, because the eldest and the third left early, you have always been sad that you have not been able to leave them a son and a half daughter, but this is the will of God, even if they originally accepted a concubine early, no children or no children, this is all doomed. Besides, you are all such good women, if they really fail you, they will not agree to be the first one. ”

Shen and Qi hung their heads, but tears welled up in their eyes. They bit their lipes silently, but tears flowed silently on their faces.

Old Madam Wang continued: "Originally, I thought that you were still young, so you shouldn't have guarded them, you should find a good family to marry, and you don't have to stay up like this for the rest of your life." But you don't want to, in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and our mothers depend on each other, which is probably ...... It's also a fate. ”

Hearing this, Qi couldn't help crying, she lay on her sister-in-law Shen's shoulder, her thin shoulder twitched slightly, Shen hugged her shoulder, tears fell on her bun, rolled twice like a pearl, rolled to the ground, and disappeared into the thick velvet blanket.

Mrs. Wang said again: "In fact, with the family of several of you, when you married into the Lu family, it was really the Lu family who climbed high. Ah Wan doesn't care, you and Ah Zhun have been in love since childhood, and if Yunni entered the palace back then, now at least she is the position of the fourth concubine, if she really marries Mongolia at that time, I am afraid she will also be a princess. It's Ah Huai Ah Xuan, they hurt you......"

Shen raised his head and looked at Mrs. Wang, although her eyes were teary and hazy, her eyes were still firm: "Mother, I have never regretted marrying Lu Huai's daughter-in-law, even if I give my daughter-in-law another chance to choose, my daughter-in-law will not hesitate to marry him." ”

Mrs. Wang held her hand, her eyes were also a little moist, and she said softly: "Child, you have a wedding that every woman envies, and I still remember that the Shen family sent her relatives with red makeup for ten miles, and when Ah Huai led you with a red hijab to the front of Wei Niang and the old marquis, the smile on her face was satisfied, which was only seen by Wei Niang for many years." ”

Shen couldn't help choking, and the Qi family next to him cried: "Mother, daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law has been dreaming that one day, the eldest brother and the elder brother will ...... They're back...... Mother, is it possible that what you said is true, after all, they ...... Although they all said that they were martyred, the bones were never found, in case ...... What if I come back someday...... So the daughter-in-law can't remarry, in case Brother Xuan comes back, but Ruzhen leaves, Ruzhen ...... If you really can't stand it......"

Mrs. Wang also shed tears, she put one hand around a daughter-in-law, her throat was stirring, and she couldn't say anything.

Xie Shi also cried on the side and couldn't help herself, she still remembered that when she was a child, she lived in her grandmother's house outside the capital for a few years, and often came to Lu Mansion to play, only Lu Zhun was the same age as herself, but she hated to play with her, saying that girls were squeamish and crying, and hated it very much. However, the eldest brother Lu Huai and the younger brother Lu Xuan spend a lot of time playing with her, Lu Huai looks cold and is actually very generous and patient with her, and Lu Xuan loves to play and make trouble, and has a lot of ghost ideas, and is Xie Wan's favorite playmate when he was a child.

Back then, she was still secretly distressed in her heart, whether she would marry Lu Huai or Lu Xuan when she grew up, but she didn't expect that in the end, she really married the Lu family, but she married the most annoying Lu Zhun......
