Chapter 190: Jiang's Ruthlessness
On the carriage back, Shao Wanyun was still worried: "Sister-in-law, did you say that my mother would let Honglian enter the house?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"Then what do you say if the mother doesn't let her enter the house and doesn't give her the child?"
"I don't know."
"Sister-in-law, why don't you know anything?"
Jiang Zuiyao looked at a place in a daze with empty eyes, thinking about the red lotus in her head, and didn't think about Shao Wanyun's question at all.
Red Lotus's sad look couldn't be dissipated in her mind for a long time.
A woman who is in a desperate situation, in the end, is defeated by reality, humbly accepts all the pain, and bows her head to this unfair situation.
What would she do if it were her?
If it was in the past, she would definitely choose the first way, entering the door of the Shao family is equivalent to jumping into the fire pit, it is better to take a sum of money and fly away, and start over, and the Shao family will not treat their son badly.
But at the moment, she hesitated.
Because she is also a mother now, if someone takes Chu Yi away, she is reluctant to have children, even if she knows that the days of entering the Shao family as a concubine are bitter, she does not want to be separated from her children.
Jiang Zuiyao, who was deep in thought, was pulled back to reality by Shao Wanyun's noise, and Shao Wanyun shouted to Shao Zimo: "Third brother, you can't listen to your mother for everything, it's not fair to Sister Honglian!" ”
Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but look at Shao Zimo, facing Shao Wanyun's injustice, Shao Zimo looked very distressed.
At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao finally found the problem, the source of Red Lotus's pain came from the man in front of her.
At the beginning, when two people fell in love, neither of them thought about whether it would be fruitful.
In love, I was dazzled by happiness, and gave birth to a child before I passed the door, and when the reality came like a stormy wave, the two began to be overwhelmed.
If Shao Zimo is irresponsible, but he really loves Red Lotus, if Red Lotus doesn't know how to check, but who can be rational in the depths of his feelings?
Jiang Zuiyao, who had never loved anyone, couldn't help but sigh bitterly.
There is a true saying: the wise do not fall in love.
Love is something that can really make people stupid and restrained.
When she entered the house and saw Jiang's, she really liked the child, she still held it in her arms, and she wasn't tired, but the child was crying so badly, no matter how Jiang coaxed her, she couldn't coax it.
That's right, that's the only grandson of the Shao family now, even if it's a so-called wild seed.
As soon as Jiang Zuiyao sat down, Xue Qing walked in and said to Jiang's: "Madam, the nurse has already entered the mansion." ”
Jiang Shi hurriedly handed the child to Xue Qing and said, "Hurry up and let the nurse breastfeed, this child is afraid that he is hungry, and his crying is worrying." ”
Xue Qing carefully took the child and hugged it out, and as the child's cry gradually faded away, Jiang Shi leaned on the cushion tiredly, raised his eyelids lazily, looked at Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Come back so soon?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "Honglian can't find the child, it's very sad." ”
I thought that such an opening statement would be better to lead to what I was going to say next, but who knew that Jiang Shi said with a disgusted face: "Her name is Honglian? Oh, it's a lowly name. ”
Jiang Zuiyao's eyes dimmed slightly, no matter what nice words she said for Honglian, I am afraid it would be in vain, so she said: "I asked her, and she said that she could enter the mansion as a concubine, and she also agreed to raise the child under your knees." ”
There was a little disdain in Jiang's eyes: "Mo'er has not yet married the main room, so she can't take a concubine." ”
According to the etiquette system, if there is no wife in the family, it is true that concubines are not allowed.
It can be seen that the Jiang family doesn't even want to give the title of concubine to the red lotus, at this moment, it is useless to say more pitiful words about the red lotus, the Jiang family will not pity her, Jiang Zuiyao had to explain the reason clearly, and said: "I see that she is very emotional, and she is extremely collapsed, if it drags on any longer, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
Jiang Shi didn't pay attention to it at all and said: "My Shao family is still afraid that she won't be able to make a fox blank?" I don't know how to check my belly, it's really cheap! ”
Jiang Zuiyao's attitude finally made Jiang Zuiyao unable to help it, and said: "Even if my mother doesn't like Red Lotus anymore, she also gave birth to a boy for the Shao family, and it is indeed a little unsightly to be pregnant before marriage, but after all, it was Shao Zimo's fault." ”
These words were enough to make Jiang's face extremely unhappy, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "My son, I understand, it must be that fox spirit who wants to cling to Ronghua and seduce Mo'er." ”
This caused Jiang Zuiyao to be irritable for a while: "I don't want to argue with my mother about right and wrong, at the moment, while this matter has not caused a storm, I want to solve this matter as soon as possible, if this matter is repeatedly delayed, it will be disadvantageous to Shao Zimo, I also told my mother." ”
Jiang's face was gloomy, and he sat on the soft couch for a long time without speaking, and his face was unhappy.
Jiang Zuiyao knew that the Jiang family just wanted the child not to be Red Lotus, and forcibly raised the child in the mansion, as for Red Lotus, she wanted to ignore it.
At this point, Jiang Zuiyao said again: "Mother, don't just look at Honglian as a flat-headed commoner, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, public opinion has always favored the weak, if Shui Honglian sells miserably to the government, the face of the Shao family is ugly." ”
When Jiang Shi heard this, he became even more angry: "She dares!" gave her a lot of power, and dared to go to the government to sue our Shao family, she really didn't know what to do! ”
Jiang Zuiyao immediately said with a cold face: "Why don't you dare?" Red Lotus sees her as her life, if she really pushes her to be anxious, she will do anything. Although the Shao family has the ability to settle this matter, they are not afraid that she will make trouble with the government, but the mother always has to think about the recent situation of the Shao family, and the entire government and the opposition will know about it when she goes to the government, and she is not afraid of people's jokes? ”
Such a sentence made the indignant Jiang completely shut up.
She is also the hostess who has been in charge of the family affairs for many years, and she can distinguish the pros and cons, but she can't convince her heart at the moment.
Jiang Zuiyao sighed slightly: "The matter has come to this, it is better for my mother to make a decision early, I see the collapse of the red lotus, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that there will be variables, don't shock my father and worry my father at that time." ”
Jiang Shi, who was sitting on the soft couch, looked at a certain place with cold eyes, his fingers held the armrests of the sandalwood soft couch resentfully, and a pair of treasure-patterned cloud-headed brocade shoes were close to the pedals, as her face gradually turned cold, she could clearly see that the toes of the shoes were tight, and she was unwilling to tighten the toes in the shoes, and let out a long sigh of relief: "She wants to pass through the door, but after Mo'er marries the main room, my Shao family is a big family with a head and a face, and I can't help but talk about the rules." ”
Jiang Zuiyao asked, "What does my mother mean?" What to do. ”
Jiang's eyes were cold, and the words he said were not warm: "Let's be a companion for the time being." ”
Companion room?
In ancient times, the status of the concubine room was very low, similar to the subordinate, but the companion room was even lower, to put it bluntly, it was a maid who waited for people to sleep, such a person would make the subordinates of the mansion look down on.
