Xiao Rui had a very happy time at Xie's house, and he could hardly feel the passage of time.

When Xie Pu sent someone to urge, he reluctantly said goodbye to his fiancée Xie Mulin and went to say goodbye to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Father-in-law Xie Pu waited for him to be a little cold, compared to the previous serious and somewhat cordial attitude, it seemed that something was wrong. Xiao Rui couldn't help but suspect that it was because he had been chatting with Xie Mulin for too long that his father-in-law was dissatisfied. He secretly reminded himself that he would have to be more cautious when he came back next time! Since both parents have agreed to set the wedding date for next autumn, it will take him at least nearly a year to hold the beauty. How could he not see his sweetheart for so long? And in order not to prevent his future father-in-law from meeting his fiancée, it is essential to please the future father-in-law. He had to be more well-behaved and honest.

Today is just the beginning, and he still has time to please his father-in-law! Whatever his father-in-law disliked him, at least when his mother-in-law proposed that he come to the house for dinner, he didn't say anything against it, and that was enough. Next time, he'll have to remember to improve a lot!

Xiao Rui respectfully said goodbye to Xie Pu and his wife, and when he left Xie's mansion, he met Xie Mulin again under the verandah of the main courtyard, said goodbye, and then accompanied by his future brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, he walked out of the gate of Xie's house and rode away.

The Xie brothers sent off their future brother-in-law and walked back to their home. The gate of Xie's Mansion was closed.

After a while, the door of the neighbor Zhou's house in the south opened, and a well-dressed servant woman came out, glanced at the Xie family from a distance, and then looked at the horseback figure that gradually disappeared into the night, and shrank her head and closed the door again.

The servant woman quickly walked through the front yard of the Zhou family's mansion, went straight to the second gate, bypassed the main courtyard, went to the main room of the second room of the west courtyard, and whispered to the maid ring guarding the door, who entered the house to report, and came out after a while, calling the servant woman in.

Mrs. Zhou sat in the right seat, her expression calm. Mrs. Tuesday sat down on her hand, her face anxious, and without waiting for the servant woman to salute, she opened her mouth and asked, "How?" Do you see it clearly? The daughter next to her, the Thursday girl, blushed and gently pulled her sleeve to calm her down, but Mrs. Tuesday didn't care, so she just blindly asked the servant: "Is it really that Xiao Xiaojun?!" ”

The servant woman knelt down and replied: "Yes, second wife, it's that Xiao Xiaojun." He entered the door of Xie's house just after dark, and he didn't come out until this time. It was the eldest young master and the second young master of the Xie family who sent him out. ”

Mrs. Tuesday gritted her teeth: "This is just a marriage, I think the appearance of the daughter of the Xie family is just like that, she can't be called a stunning beauty, how can she still have such a means to fascinate a man......"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhou Da unceremoniously drank the concubine, "These words have been spread, what good is it for our family?" What's in it for the four girls?! People are serious unmarried couples, the love is better, the son-in-law is willing to respect the Yue family, knowing that the Yue family is angry, they specially come to the door to comfort, can you manage it? ! What is your identity that you are embarrassed to count people?! ”

On Tuesday, Mrs. Tue's eyes were red, and her tears were about to fall from her grievances. The Thursday girl on the side was even more pale, she had been proud for so many years, and it was the first time she had experienced such a grievance today, but this grievance had nowhere to cry to anyone, because she was unreasonable. What could she do but knock out her teeth and swallow blood?!

Mrs. Zhou ordered the servant woman to be rewarded with 500 yuan, and told her not to spread what she saw and heard, and sent her away. When only the two of them and the Thursday girl Zhou Yaqing were left in the room, she spoke again: "The road of the future son of Yanwangfu is no longer possible. With today's events, neither the princess nor that Xiao Rui can accept our four girls as concubines. Now the old lady's situation is not very good, I'm afraid it's just time, no matter what, it's not enough for the four girls to get married, so it's better to clean up your mood and concentrate on serving the sick. The child's marriage, wait until there is filial piety! With her reputation in the past few years, as well as the old lady's reputation in the officialdom of Beiping, she can't even say a decent marriage! ”

Mrs. Tuesday choked up and said, "Do you really want to give up?" We Yaqing have been preparing for so long in order to become the future princess of King Yan! How can you just give up?! Even if it's a side room, it doesn't matter, as long as you can give birth to the heir of Yan Wangfu in the future, what is the temporary fame?! When we thought that the third prince was going to succeed us, we didn't plan to let Yaqing fight for the position of the main room, even if it was the princess's concubine, it didn't matter. Now it's just a different choice, and the road can still be walked! ”

Thursday's face turned even paler. She was almost unable to hold back her tears. From childhood to adulthood, she has learned how to become the main mother of a big family, all the things that a clan wife should know, she has not missed it, she has long been proud, why should she be wronged to be a concubine? ! In the past, when she knew that the future princess and concubine might not be treated well by the prince, she could still endure and sacrifice herself for the sake of the family. But now that I know that I am not welcomed, I have married myself, and I may not be able to get what the family wants, why do I have to rush to find it? ! Since she was a child, her mother has praised her as the best girl in the world, why does she have to force herself to be cheap now?!

Zhou Jia...... It's not that far!

Not only did the Thursday girl not understand her mother's obsession, but Mrs. Zhou also felt that Mrs. Tuesday's idea was too stupid: "What do you think you have to do?!" Don't you see Princess Yan's attitude clearly today?! Not to mention that she has already chosen a daughter-in-law for her future son, there is nothing to find fault with in her family background, even if she has not chosen a candidate, it is impossible to take a fancy to Yaqing! Brother and sister, do you really not understand? When you have been waving your flag behind Mrs. Xu and helping her embarrass Princess Yan and Lord Yongping, do you think you are very beautiful?!

"Mrs. Xu is a widow, and her deceased husband is the eldest brother of King Yan, and she was protected by the concubine Niangniang in the past, so King Yan and the princess do not have the same knowledge as her, so as not to be criticized for bullying the surviving person of the deceased brother. But who are you? Why do you breathe out with Mrs. Xu's nostrils, but you think that Princess Yan will not hold a grudge against you?! She can't be guilty of shouting at you, she just needs to refuse your daughter to be her daughter-in-law! She is not really stupid, she was instigated by Mrs. Xu to be angry with the concubine for more than ten years, that's it, is it okay to let your daughter become the master of the backyard of King Yan's prince in the future, and continue to be angry with her daughter-in-law for decades?! ”

Mrs. Tuesday's face became more and more ugly all the way to listen. She finally felt regretful and couldn't help crying: "Sister-in-law! I didn't mean to! Mrs. Xu is determined to get along with Princess Yan, what can I do?! You know her temper, how can I possibly persuade her? And with her, the concubine will always have more blue eyes on me, and she also looks at Yaqing differently, and she has more rewards and praises every year than other girls! I was polite to Mrs. Xu for the sake of Yaqing, I didn't really want to get along with Princess Yan! ”
