Lin Mei then remembered, no wonder the children in the village didn't play with her when she was a child, but the two brothers and sisters of the Xiao family played with her, and Aunt Xiao didn't stop her, but happily gave herself some snacks and candy to eat every time......

Every time the children in the village called themselves wild children, but Brother Xiao Yuan would reprimand them instead, and he would protect Lin Mei every time, which touched her heart a lot...... This made her fall in love with Xiao Yuan's ...... I didn't expect this qiē to be premeditated! And the person who premeditated this matter was Princess Zhennan who was handkerchief with her mother!

Princess Zhennan didn't know that Lin Mei was wandering, and continued to smile bitterly and said, "But your mother found out, she should have written to me to move the Xiao family away, but how could I agree?" In the end, she and I had to take a step back, and I asked the Xiao family to leave a man to protect your safety on weekdays, and she could only agree to your mother...... Your mother's surname is Zhao, and she is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in the capital, and when she was not engaged, I don't know how many people came to your foreign house to marry your mother, but ......"

Speaking of this, Princess Zhennan's face sank, as if there was something difficult to talk about, so she directly brushed it over and said lightly, "Later, your mother and that person divorced and married your father, and it took three years before I had you...... At that time, I was in Los Angeles, and when I heard the news of her pregnancy, I was overjoyed, and I brought my own gifts to the capital to visit relatives, and by the way, I visited your mother. ”

Lin Mei listened with a blank eye, she didn't know who the person who had a marriage contract with her mother back then, but everyone seemed to be very afraid of that person, and they didn't even dare to mention that person's name...... Come to think of it, he should also be a high-powered big man!

That's right, Lin Mei still wants to know that the man who had a marriage contract with her mother back then was a big man, but. I'm afraid she can't imagine how powerful that man is! This made so many people afraid of him, and they didn't even dare to mention him......

Seeing that Lin Mei had been looking at her, Princess Zhennan couldn't help but smile lovingly, touched her head and said, "You look like this, but you really look like your mother back then...... However, your mother was a famous lady in the capital back then. It sounds good, and it is quiet and elegant. If you don't say it well, you are timid and afraid, and your body is weak, how can you be half lively now! ”

"......" the corners of Lin Mei's mouth twitched slightly. I really don't know if Princess Zhennan is praising her or belittling her......

"At that time, she secretly talked to me, and I knew when I saw her like that it was not a good thing! But your mother has always been timid and fearful, quiet and polite, what kind of rebellious things can she do? Afterward. I just learned that she was a woman who had a marriage contract. I actually fell in love with someone else! When Princess Zhennan said this, she didn't know whether to complain or be angry, "I knew about it at the time, and I almost fainted!" Sure enough. This qiē is another friend of your mother's...... The good deeds done by the eldest princess's daughter, the lord of Qingrai! ”

At the mention of this Qinglai County Lord, Lin Mei obviously felt that Princess Zhennan's state was wrong. This is the tone of mentioning old friends, this tone...... It's clear that I can't wait to eat its flesh and gnaw its bones!

"I and the county lord of Qinglai were originally just gentlemen's friends, as light as water. But I don't know when she has been entangled with your mother, your mother is soft-hearted, and it is easy to trust others carelessly...... By the time I found out, your mother had already become a good sister with the county lord of Qinglai. Later, your mother had a marriage contract with that person, and I went to your foreign house with the county lord of Qinglai to congratulate your mother...... It was on that day that your mother saw your father. ”

Princess Zhennan's expression became sad, and her voice became more and more hoarse, "When I didn't even know it, the county lord of Qinglai pulled the strings from it, so that your mother and your father would meet frequently and play out together." When your mother sued me, it was already two years later, and at that time, the relationship between your mother and your father had also reached the point where you didn't marry or marry! At that time, I persuaded your mother to separate from your father...... But, how ridiculous, she actually hid this from me for two years, just afraid that I knew that I would break up the two of them! Since then, I have been disheartened and have never seen your mother again......"

Seeing that Princess Zhennan stopped and didn't speak, Lin Mei raised her eyes and quietly glanced up, and saw that Princess Zhennan's eyes were red, her eyes were closed, and she gritted her teeth without saying a word.

"Princess......" Lin Mei didn't feel good in her heart, Princess Zhennan's concerns and anger were reasonable, after all, no one wanted her friend to hide from herself for two years in such a matter. Moreover, Princess Zhennan's concerns are not unreasonable, her mother already has a marriage contract, but she is in love with someone else; If this spreads, I'm afraid that her entire girls outside the family will be poked in the backbone when they go out!

"At that time, your mother was about to marry that man...... She really had no choice but to come to me again; How can I bear to let her be accused by a thousand husbands alone: not abiding by women's morals? So I mediated that things would have gone for the better...... Unexpectedly, the county lord of Qinglai actually made this matter public! All of a sudden, your mother and father were scolded by everyone in the capital...... Your grandfather and grandmother can't stop crying every day, just because ...... The person who has a marriage contract with your mother cannot bear your mother's entanglement with others, and will put your mother in prison and deal with it according to the laws of this dynasty......"

When Princess Zhennan said this, she was also very hateful, "And your father was also deprived of his title by that person, and the entire Marquis of Anyuan Mansion collapsed...... However, even if this is the case, he is a man, and he should stand up to protect your mother! However, he locked himself in the house every day and did not see anyone...... How dare I entrust your mother to him?! The turmoil is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and in the end, the county lord of Qinglai actually found your mother and said that if she marries your father, then this qiē turmoil can be stopped...... It turns out that the county lord of Qinglai is also in love with your father, and wants to take advantage of the danger of people to force your mother to give up your father......"

Lin Mei shuddered, and only pinched her sleeve, she had vaguely heard these stories in her mother's mouth, but at that time, her mother left a face for the county lord of Qinglai, and did not tell Lin Mei the truth thoroughly!

"At that time, your mother was already at the limit of her collapse, but there was another news that your father was going to be engaged to the lord of Qinglai, one was your mother's favorite person, and the other was your mother's most trusted person...... Your mother was hit by such a blow and fell ill completely. Princess Zhennan's eyes were filled with tears. Choked up and said, "I ran around lobbying, and finally got the mother of the person who was engaged to your mother to withdraw from your mother's marriage to that person, and your father came out to see your mother at this time...... I didn't want your father to see your mother, but your mother was sick to a bone at that time, how could I bear to stop her again? ”

Lin Mei knows this. Because she's the same fucking nature. Don't hit the south wall and vow not to look back, but ...... As for the question of this marriage, although she was ridiculed by the people in the village for three years. said that she couldn't marry an old girl, but in the end she met Shu Wangjin, the unjust boss, okay!

So, the tribulations of the previous qiē are all worth it......

But, as for her mother and her father. Oh my...... It's better not to be together, her mother has suffered more after marrying her father over the years! As soon as I got married, I became a mother. I also have to endure a large yard of partial housing and give birth to a child in my own head...... If it were her, she would have run away a long time ago! No, it's someone who won't marry her father's personality at all as soon as she opens!

"It didn't take long for your mother to get better...... At that time, it was almost time for me to get married. Since then, I have never wanted to see your mother again...... Just because, if she was stronger, she was more decisive. What about your father? looks like a mourning woman, is it really the famous lady I knew before? Your mother also knows that she is ashamed of me. I am more cautious, come to my house to see me every day, since I married your father, I have become even more presumptuous, and I take your father to my house every day to wait for me...... If I see your mother, it is possible, but if I want to see your father calmly, it is impossible! ”

When Princess Zhennan said the middle, her tone was full of ridicule and sneer, but when she talked about the back, it turned into the expression of deep hatred before, and it seemed that she also hated Lin Mei's father deeply!

"Later, I married the prince of Zhennan, who is now my husband...... The current King of Zhennan. Zhennan Wangfu is in Los Angeles, and the relationship between the prince and I has always been good, and in the past few years, I have helped your mother mediate between that person and your father, thanks to the prince's secret help; Otherwise, I am a woman, where can I get so much power and ...... What about the man's contend? On the day I got married, your mother came to me with tears in her eyes, saying that I was going to marry Luocheng and go, and since then the mountains and rivers have been far away, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again in this life......" Princess Zhennan's tone and eyes softened every time she talked about Lin Mei's mother, but she also sighed deeply and tired.

"I'm in the capital, although there are many, but only your mother is the only one who has a heart...... Seeing her crying, how could I harden my heart and ignore it? Fortunately, the prince was considerate of me and allowed me to return to the capital twice a year...... Los Angeles is so far away from the capital, it takes more than a month to go back and forth, and every time the prince will accompany me back to Beijing to meet with my relatives, and then he will go to socialize with the officials in the capital; I will reminisce with my sisters in the capital in the past, and finally, I will sit and talk with your mother...... Not long after I got married, your mother got married to your father as she wished. On the day she got married, she told me half a year in advance, but I didn't go back from Los Angeles...... I only asked someone to give her some gifts. Your mother thought I was still blaming her, and she was depressed for a while, and she was sick again...... This disease is half a year. ”

Princess Zhennan sighed, her tone was full of desolation and sadness, obviously heartbroken for Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin insisted on going her own way and did not appreciate it......

Lin Mei is also a little unworthy for Princess Zhennan, after all, if her mother had listened to Princess Zhennan back then, and had not hooked up with her father when she already had a marriage contract, there would not have been so many things later; Her own father has a bad behavior, he dares to do it, and he makes his mother so sad, and he gives birth to so many younger siblings to herself, which really makes her feel extremely cold.

Princess Zhennan looked at Lin Mei, who was exactly the same as Mrs. Lin when she was young, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, and then said, "Your mother's illness makes those foxes in the backyard even more rampant. I couldn't worry about your mother, so I came to the capital alone with my eldest daughter, who was over two years old...... Your mother is sick of heart, and she has been depressed in her heart, and she feels sorry for me; I said to her: If you really feel sorry for me, then live well, take out your style as the eldest lady of the Zhao family in the past, and renovate this backyard...... You must know that you are the lady of this Marquis of Anyuan's mansion! The other warblers and swallows are just passing by...... You have the Zhao family behind you to support you, why should you be afraid of these foxes! ”

Lin Mei listened to Princess Zhennan's words, and it was similar to what Xiao Zijin said that day.

At that time, Xiao Zijin was concerned about her husband and Lin Mei Fujun going to Qinlou Chu Pavilion for the night. Apparently very calm. Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was also afraid that my husband's reputation would be damaged...... As for the matter of prostitution, flowers, and girls, she didn't pay attention to it!

That's right, that's what Xiao Zijin said to Lin Mei:

"A man is like a bird in your hand, if you hold it too loosely, it will fly away, but the other way around...... If you hold on too tightly. He'll peck you hard. When the time comes, it will be you who will be hurt. ”

"If they want to be chic, let them go out and be chic, and they will not shake our status as the main room. Why do you want to hurt the harmony between the husband and wife for those Yingying Yanyan who can't get on the stage? ”

"Those are just playthings, like Shu Wangjin and the like, they don't really take them seriously at all, so why would Miss Lin go to a place like Qinglou to make a fuss? Not only will it make Shu Gongzi lose face. It will make you be pointed at by everyone and your reputation will be discredited. Fall into the name of a shitwoman...... Moreover, afterwards, Shu Gongzi will also be disgusted with you, why bother? ”

How sane...... How calm...... It's the same as the current Princess Zhennan. Like Xiao Zijin, he has long seen through love, love, and love, leaving only a tone of indifference and stability.

Is it really her own fault......

After all. In such a family, it is really normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines...... And Shu Wangjin is also from such a family. I think I'm used to this kind of thing...... Only she, the girl from this small village, would naively think that those rich and powerful families are the same as them as commoners, a couple for the rest of their lives, and only marry one...

Lin Mei only felt that her nose was sour, and for a while, her heart was full of mixed tastes, and she couldn't say anything.

Princess Zhennan noticed Lin Mei's silence this time, and didn't continue to speak, turned her head to look at Lin Mei, who didn't speak, touched her head with concern, and asked lovingly, "Wan'er, what's wrong?" Suddenly stopped talking...... Are you also blaming me for being too cruel to your mother back then? ”

Seeing that Princess Zhennan was blaming herself, Lin Mei hurriedly shook her head, looked at her and said, "Princess, this matter is ...... I can't tell who is right and who is wrong, but I know that you are my mother, princess...... It's really painstaking. ”

Princess Zhennan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her smile was full of desolation, she lightly opened her lips and said, "In my life, the only confidant is your mother, but ...... In the end, I haven't changed, but your mother has completely changed as a person; The innocent and docile lady of the Zhao family is gone, but on the contrary, the one who survived is ...... Is it Zhao Wanrong who is full of darkness in her heart and can't be happy anymore, or should I call her 'Mrs. Lin'? ”

Lin Mei's body was stunned, and her eyes were full of sadness; It's a pity that she, as a junior, can arbitrarily comment on the behavior of her elders?

"Your mother listened to my words at that time, and a lot of tears fell down...... I said ruthlessly: Look at what you have become now! Don't say it's Zhou Chen, even I'm afraid I can't look down on you now! Your mother cried bitterly, and I touched your mother's hair, and her face was full of tears...... In your father's yard, when your mother had just married in, a concubine gave birth to a child, and she was still a boy! In addition, I have not been able to see your mother to participate in your mother's marriage, and your mother fell ill...... By the time she got better, there were already several young masters in the house! ”

Princess Zhennan looked like she hated iron and steel, and it seemed that she was also very disappointed in Mrs. Lin, if she was to make a move, how could she let those foxes in the backyard ride on her head?!

"Because of my words, your mother finally cheered up and began to tidy up the backyard...... After all, your father still has your mother in his heart, so he didn't say anything, and let those aunts in the backyard cry outside his courtyard with their children and didn't pay attention to it, your mother can be regarded as completely sitting in the position of Mrs. Hou of Anyuan's Mansion...... However, your mother's body has always been weak and often riddled with diseases, so she has not been pregnant for two or three years since she married your father. Your father is not in a hurry at all in terms of heirs, but your mother is in a hurry! What about more children in the backyard? None of them came from her belly! Even if the old lady of the Hou Mansion loves your mother no matter how much she loves it, she can't resist the other daughters-in-law pouring cold water on your mother......"

Princess Zhennan glanced at Lin Mei deeply, held her hand and sighed, "Wan'er, your grandfather and grandmother have been thinking about you for seventeen years; Your dad is at fault. But after all, it was your own grandfather and grandmother, and they really cared about you......"

Lin Mei's lips moved, and finally buried her head and answered in a low voice.

She hated An Yuanhou very much, and she didn't want to go home to the capital with him at all, but ...... She also misses these two old people. Her mother has not given birth for three years, but she has never disliked her mother's old family...... To know. Her mother not only had a marriage contract with someone else before, but this matter also caused a storm in the capital, if it was an old lady from an ordinary family. I'm afraid that I can't tolerate such a daughter-in-law!

However, her grandmother was very kind to her mother......

Princess Zhennan saw Lin Mei's defiant look, and she also knew that the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion really made her extremely sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her. could only pat Lin Mei's head gently, and then tell down.

"There are many relatives and heirs in the Hou Mansion. Your grandfather had three sons and two daughters, and two sons and maidens. Your mother has four concubines in the Hou Mansion...... And that's not even counting the other aunts and uncles! There are many people in the Hou Mansion, and your mother's housekeeper is quite difficult. The other two concubines saw each other, so they naturally wanted to come and get a piece of the pie. Your grandmother gave your mother face very much at that time, and said directly: This is the Hou Mansion. If you don't let the upright Mrs. Hou take care of the accounts, who will take care of it?! In a few years, you will all have to break up, and then it will have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion! Although this is said a little harshly. But it also scared your other two aunts so much that they didn't dare to complain about your mother anymore. Your mother is grateful to your grandmother, and she wants to have an heir to add to the Hou Mansion even more......"

Lin Mei listened stupidly, she could completely imagine the predicament of her mother being harassed by everyone in the huge Hou Mansion alone, how could she say that they were all biological mothers and daughters, and they broke bones and tendons...... Therefore, she wanted to meet the legendary grandmother even more.

"Three years after your mother married into the Hou Mansion, she finally got pregnant...... At this time, there were already five or six heirs in the Hou Mansion. Although this heir is important, but your mother is young, it is not that she can't give birth, and the more children you have, the less important it is. At this time, those aunts in the house began to panic...... Originally, the old lady still valued those concubines, but when she saw this sign, all of them were male babies, and there were no female babies, so the old man's mind faded, so he focused all his eyes on your pregnant mother. At that time, another incident happened...... That is, although your father has many aunts in his backyard, he never rests in the yards of those aunts, no matter how much he favors them. ”

Princess Zhennan was also a little embarrassed when she said this, after all, this is a matter in someone else's backyard, and it is not good for her to be an outsider to say it...... However, at that time, Mrs. Lin was lonely and helpless, and all bitter water was poured on her, so she also knew many secrets of the Hou Mansion that outsiders did not know. Besides, she is not talking about outsiders, but the daughter of Marquis An Yuan, so there is not so much shame and shame.

"At this moment, an aunt who gave birth to two sons was dissatisfied and wanted to break this rule...... Late at night, I asked your father to stay in her yard for the night, but your father turned his face and went directly to your mother's yard, saying, "If Madame wants to adopt these two children, then write them down in Madame's name, and if Madame does not want to adopt, then send these two children to Zhuangzi!" This thing...... Speaking of which, it wasn't your mother who sued me, but it was spread out, and everyone in the entire capital knew about it. Your mother naturally doesn't want to adopt someone else's child, although she was not pregnant at that time, but who would want someone else's child? ”

When Lin Mei heard Princess Zhennan say this, she felt even more distressed about her mother's situation at that time, no one would want to raise a child who was not her own, and it didn't mean that she couldn't have children......

"Your mother said she didn't want to adopt these two children...... And the aunt also cried and begged your father not to send his children to the Zhuangzi, but your father saw that your mother did not adopt the two children, and the aunt was too ignorant of what to do, so he ordered the two children to be sent to the Zhuangzi. Although your mother doesn't like the children born and raised by others, she also pities the lives of these two children, after all, if you send them to Zhuangzi, it really means that they are gone......

So, your mother relented and pleaded with your father for that aunt, saying that although she didn't want to adopt these two children, they were your father's own flesh and blood, and Aunt Tao in the backyard had no heirs, so it was better to let these two children follow that Aunt Tao. And...... Your mother was smart at that time. After all, if your mother really agrees to send those two children to Zhuangzi, I am afraid that your father will have a dislike for your mother! Moreover, in this way, not only does that aunt watch her own son call someone else's aunt every day. I was heartbroken with grief. It deterred other bold aunts in the backyard even more, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Princess Zhennan exhaled deeply, without the slightest relaxation on her face. Then he said, "After this incident, your aunt in your father's backyard also knew that your mother's position was unbreakable, so she never went to your mother to make trouble again...... Your mother is pregnant with you. Originally, things were already going in a good direction. But ......"

"But? But what...... The princess ......, "Lin Mei also knows that the next thing is very crucial, otherwise, her mother would not have taken her to Linshan County alone."

Princess Zhennan's eyes gradually drifted, and her voice became more and more mournful. "Later, I received a letter from your mother to me, at that time. Your mother has been pregnant for more than six months...... She asked me to go to the capital quickly and discuss important matters. It had been half a year since I last went to Beijing. So he packed up some things and dragged his family to the capital with the prince. When I arrived in the capital, your mother was eight months pregnant...... I went to see your mother in the Hou Mansion. There is no doubt that your father was really good to your mother, but I can't forgive him after all, whether it is what happened after that, or whether he turned a blind eye to your mother before......"

"After that, what happened?" Lin Mei swallowed her saliva, and her heart beat faster and faster.

"I saw your mother at that time, although your mother was pregnant with you and took the precious ginseng soup tonic every day, but the whole person was still unconscious. When your mother saw me coming, she took me alone in the house to talk, and I found out...... It turns out that the adult who divorced your mother has never given up on your mother. It is said that what you can't get is the best, that adult has been in a high position since he was a child, and there is nothing that can't be obtained; The previous adult had a good impression of your mother, otherwise he wouldn't have hired your mother, but ...... Later, the reason why he was so nervous about your mother was because your father appeared, and he was unwilling! ”

Although Princess Zhennan didn't say the name of that person, her voice trembled when she mentioned that person, and she didn't know whether it was hatred or fear.

"Your father's career has not been smooth in the past few years, just because the adult has been pressing on it, I just didn't expect that the adult would be paranoid to that extent...... Your mother is already pregnant with you, but he still wants to attack your mother! Your mother was pregnant with you at that time, and I couldn't talk to others about this kind of thing, so I could only tell it all...... I also had no choice but to help take care of your mother in the capital, and secretly mobilize the wife and aunt of the lord to put pressure on the lord......" Princess Zhennan said this, her eyes were already deeply tired, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes began to show.

"But it didn't take long for you to be born...... The old lady and the old lady like you very much, not only because you are a concubine, but there are too many sons in the backyard, and each one is more stubborn than the other, or they really can't get on the stage; In contrast, I like you even more...... However, at that time, at your full moon banquet, the lord actually came...... Everyone present was very frightened, if it was someone else's family, I was afraid that everyone present would only think that this family had the ability, but that adult came to your full moon banquet! Your father's and your grandfather's faces changed at that time...... Many people saw that the atmosphere was not right, and they also said goodbye and left, I was afraid that something would happen to your mother, so I stayed in the back room to accompany your mother. ”

Princess Zhennan was afraid and resentful of that person, but she still couldn't hate it after all...... Just because when that person had a marriage contract with Mrs. Lin, she also went to congratulate Mrs. Lin on her marriage contract with that person; And that person has a high position, but he has a soft spot for Mrs. Lin, and when he is fifteen years old, there is no room girl or anything in the room...... This is a rare thing to do in the homes of other powerful people.

Therefore, Princess Zhennan was more optimistic about that person being with Mrs. Lin before. It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that Mrs. Lin and An Yuanhou would look at each other? and made such a big fuss, now people can't hide it if they want to......

"Princess, what ...... What happens after that? Lin Mei asked cautiously and fearfully.

Princess Zhennan pursed her lips, Lin Mei immediately thoughtfully took the delicate teapot on the carriage and poured a cup of tea for the princess, and touched it easily, this teapot is not known what material it is made of, but this pot of tea has always maintained a warm feeling; She handed over the warm tea in her hand, and watched Princess Zhennan take it but didn't drink it, holding it in the palm of her hand all the time, and she didn't know what she was thinking. (To be continued.) )
