Chapter 263: The Dispute Between Concubines and Daughters
Shang Yi specially walked to the top of the steps and listened to the movement in the box, there was indeed something moving, needless to say that it must be something like poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, and Xiyue would never put a deer or puppy in the box.
When Shang Yi arrived at the door, Duanwang and his wife received news that they had already considered themselves unlucky in this matter, and they thought that the matter of losing some things would pass, but they didn't expect such twists and turns.
"Could it be that Wan'er is unwilling...... "It is false to say that King Duan is not disappointed in this daughter, he can have a bright future, but he ruined himself because of selfishness, and he was almost implicated in Duanwang's Mansion.
How much hope was placed on her before, how disappointed she is now.
"No, it won't!" Although Princess Duan's tone was very sure, she really didn't know the bottom in her heart, her daughter's temperament had changed greatly since her reputation was ruined and Shang Yi announced that she was going to marry that country girl. In the past, she was at least willing to pretend to be virtuous, generous, gentle and lovely, but now she is not even willing to pretend, yesterday she found that her daughter was secretly drinking, and she was almost like two people before.
"Humph! Don't blindly protect her, tell me to quickly record Xian'er in your name and recognize her as a concubine, Wan'er can't count on it! β
Let her treat the concubine's daughter as her own, there is no door!
"Lord Wang, now is not the time to talk about this, let's go and see what Shang Yi wants to do first! The longer we drag on here, the more people will be watching outside, and the person surnamed Shang has a high prestige among the people, don't finally let us marry and don't even have a person who appreciates it, wouldn't it be a loss for the lady and a soldier! β
When the couple arrived at the door, they saw a red pine box on the steps.
"What does Shang Xiang mean?" Princess Duan said unhappily, this person who is still bright and has such an excellent daughter does not marry, but chooses a country girl, I really don't know what he thinks.
"The two of you will know by listening to the box, and Shang is also the first time to hear that you can bring living things if you give them to others for marriage."
"This ...... I was present while the housekeepers and mothers-in-law were tidying up, and I could swear that I would never have anything other than the dowry. These things were boxed yesterday, and there was nothing going on at that time, so good! β
"What does the princess mean by my prime minister's mansion thief shouting to catch the thief? We don't have to bother the emperor, let's go directly to Dali Temple! Let them see if anyone has tampered with the box, and if the fire paint on it has been damaged. Shang Yi said calmly.
King Duan glanced at the princess and told her to shut up: "Can Shang Xiang move to Duanwang's Mansion for a cup of tea, let's discuss this matter slowly!" "Although King Duan doesn't often go to court, he still has heard of his vigorous and resolute style of doing things.
"Benxiang is now a person with a fiancΓ©e, and he won't do anything that may cause misunderstanding, so the palace won't enter! Let's see how this is resolved, whether you open the box here, or if you lift the box aside to check it. β
Shang Yi has become very easy to talk today, he wants to see if he is so cooperative, and what kind of answer Duanwangfu can give in the end.
"Shang Xiang, let's compensate you for two more dowries, so it's okay!"
"This is really not good, getting married pays attention to good things in pairs, doesn't it become eighty-nine dowries when King Duan gives two dowries? Are you unhappy with my wife, or do you have other ideas! β
"No, Xiangye, you misunderstood!" King Duan certainly had an opinion in his heart about Shang Yi giving up his daughter to marry Su Xiaoluo.
However, he also understands that it is Shang Yi's right to marry whom, others can't control it at all, and they have no right to interfere in Duanwangfu, a man like Shang Yi who has reached the peak of power and status has capital and willfulness, he wants to marry a woman he likes, I'm afraid he can't even control his father, otherwise the Luo sisters will not be married in a hurry.
Shang Yi was very kind enough to help King Duan calculate it and tell him to prepare another twelve dowries! Make up ninety-nine lifts, and he doesn't want more.
Now Duanwang can only admit it, and there is already a sharp cry in the box, and even those watching the excitement on the side of the road can hear the sound, let alone them.
Shang Yi drew up a gift list for Duan Wang on the spot: "This box of things has been returned to you, if you open it, please let people tell Ben Xiang, what is in the box!" β
"Twelve dowry before dark, Shang Xiang, please go back and wait!"
"Good!"
Sending Shang Yi away, King Duan returned to the mansion and ordered someone to take out some of the dowry prepared for Xiyue and pack them according to Shang Yi's requirements.
"These are Wan'er's dowries, you can't move!" With these dowries, how can a daughter marry a good family, if the dowry shrinks, plus her current reputation......
"Oops! The princess is still protecting the county ...... I mean big girl! Do you want to know what's in that box? The concubine told you that it was a spider, and it was poisonous, and yesterday when the guards around the eldest girl fed those spiders and put them in the box, the concubine accidentally saw it, a whole bag!
The eldest girl also said that she would let the spider bite the little slut surnamed Su to death, princess, who does our girl hate to this point, and make so many spiders have to kill others. Duanwang's favorite concubine Yu smiled and walked into the living room.
Her daughter is not lost to Xiyue in terms of appearance or talent, just because one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, she has been bullied all these years, and their mother and daughter dare not breathe in the atmosphere of the palace, and they don't know what or which sentence may provoke the princess's mother and daughter.
Now I finally have a chance to turn over, because the reputation of Shayue was ruined, and he was demoted to a commoner, and his identity plummeted. If it weren't for the princess's protection, she would have been sent to the temple a long time ago.
actually dared to do something about the dowry given to the future prime minister's wife, and happened to be known by herself, how could she let go of such a good opportunity!
"Don't talk nonsense there, Wan'er won't do that." The princess asked the grandmother next to her to slap Yu's mouth.
Yu hid behind King Duan: "Lord Wang, the bag containing the spider has been picked up, and a guard who went out to collect the spider together yesterday testified." β
King Rui was troubled by the quarrel between the two women, told them to shut up, and called the housekeeper to find yesterday's guards and Shayue.
The guards refused to say anything at first, but the princess threatened him not to talk nonsense, and a sharp shout sounded outside the door: "I asked people to find the spiders in the dowry, I just wanted those spiders to bite Su Xiaoluo, how could I think that the dowry was carried into the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is that Su Xiaoluo?" Shang Yi protects her like this! In the end, the princess was already roaring, and the princess went over to hold her daughter in her arms.
"If today's matter gets out, it won't be good for Duanwangfu and Wan'er, I believe that the prince will be able to control some long-tongued women, if you don't care, I will let people cut out her tongue."
"Lord Wang, what about Xian'er's name?" Yu asked.
As soon as Duan Wang wanted to open his mouth, Princess Duan sneered: "Yu's family, your mother's family is just a dart game, how many officials are there in our He family, if you can't count the number of Mrs. Hou, you can let the prince help you." I'll tell you the truth today, Duanwangfu has only one concubine in Wan'er's generation, even if she is a commoner now, she is 10,000 times more noble than you, you want me to recognize your daughter, don't talk about this life, it will be impossible in the next life! β
