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, so he should be accustomed to such things...... Only she, the girl from this small village, would naively think that those rich and powerful families are really like them as commoners, one 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 is a junior. How can one comment on the actions of the 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 me. I'm afraid that 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...... When she gets better. There are 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 it was her. If you make a move, you can let those foxes in the backyard ride on your 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. Nothing was said. Let those aunts in the backyard cry outside their courtyard with their children and ignore it, your mother can be regarded as completely sitting in the position of Mrs. Hou of Anyuan...... 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...... You must know that her mother not only had a marriage contract with someone else before, but this matter also caused a storm in the capital, if it is an old lady from an ordinary family, I am afraid that she will not tolerate such a daughter-in-law!

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

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

"There are many relatives and heirs in the Hou Mansion, and your grandfather has three sons, two daughters, and two sons and girls. 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, and the other two concubines naturally want 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, who will take care of the accounts if you don't let the upright Mrs. Hou take care of the accounts? ! 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 was said a little harshly, it also made your other two aunts so frightened 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's not talking about outsiders. is the daughter of Marquis An Yuan, so she is not so ashamed. Shame on you.

At this moment, an aunt who gave birth to two sons was not convinced. Want 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 told me, but it was spread out, and the whole capital knew about it. Naturally, your mother doesn't want to adopt someone else's child. Although she was not pregnant at that time, 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. It's not that you can't have children......

"Your mother said she didn't want to adopt these two children...... And the aunt was crying outside the door, begging your father not to send his child to the Zhuangzi. But when your father saw that your mother did not adopt these two children, and that the aunt was too ignorant, he ordered the two children to be sent to 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 on behalf of the aunt, saying that she did not want to adopt these two children. But no matter how you say it, it's your father's biological flesh and blood, and Aunt Tao in the backyard has no heirs. It's better to let these two children follow that Aunt Tao. And...... Your mother was smart at that time, and your father would only think that your mother was gentle and virtuous, after all, if your mother really agreed to send those two children to Zhuangzi, I am afraid that your father will have a dislike for your mother! Moreover, such words not only made the aunt feel grief-stricken when she watched her biological son call someone else's aunt every day, but also shocked other bold aunts in the backyard, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Princess Zhennan exhaled deeply, her face did not relax in the slightest, and then said, "After this incident, the 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 also pregnant with you, and originally, things have been 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, and at that time, your mother was already more than six months pregnant...... She asked me to go to the capital quickly and discuss important matters. It had been half a year since I last went to the capital, so I packed up some things and dragged my family to the capital. 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.
