Chapter 226: Old Madam Wang's Decision
Wang Qingyun silently handed over a handkerchief.
Sister-in-law Cui's is innocent in Wang Qingyun's opinion!
As for the big brother...... Husband and wife as one. Wang Qingyun didn't believe that her eldest brother would be completely unaware of what her sister-in-law did.
But for her mother's sake, Wang Qingyun didn't say anything.
The daughter didn't speak for a long time, not even a word of comfort.
Old Madam Wang's heart was completely cold.
Mrs. Wang trembled her lips, raised her arm and slapped Wang Qingyun heavily, she accused her daughter very coldly: "That's your eldest brother!" When you were a child...... When you were a child, when your eldest brother met delicious and fun food, he always thought about your sister first, why is your heart so hard! ”
Wang Qingyun frowned.
When Mrs. Wang called just now, the force was very heavy, and a sharp pain suddenly came from Wang Qingyun's shoulder.
She couldn't help but hold it down with her hand and rub it gently, and her pretty face became as condensed as water.
She said: "My daughter has been married into the Hou Mansion for so many years, let alone flick my daughter's nails, I just haven't even said a word of weight." As a result, as soon as her daughter returned to Beijing, her mother regarded her daughter as an enemy, and she wanted to beat her daughter to death. Mother has you forgotten that I am not a girl of the Wang family now, but the lady in charge of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion! ”
Mrs. Wang's heart was in great pain, so she couldn't help but beat her daughter, but looking at the unbearable pain, Mrs. Wang instantly regretted it.
But what Mrs. Wang didn't expect was that her daughter didn't give herself half of her face. The words are accusations, accusations against oneself, and the maintenance of Xie Han, and a heart has long been boundless.
Back then, for the marriage of Wang Xie's two younger generations, Yun Niang's heart was downset, and Mrs. Wang had been secretly turning around, and even angered her husband and eldest son for this, but the result was that both ends were not good.
The daughter she held in the palm of her hand has always resented her mother's family, and the eldest son and eldest grandson who relied on her most have all turned into loess, and Mrs. Wang can't help but feel sad.
Old Madam Wang's face showed a little disgrace, and she laughed at herself: "Sure enough, it was the water spilled by the married daughter, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xie Han gave you, so that you will be so desperate, and you will not hesitate to step on your brother's bones for the sake of the Hou Mansion." ”
Disappointed, Mrs. Wang's words turned into a sword, hoping to awaken her daughter's conscience.
never thought that Wang Qingyun faced her mother's questioning with an indifferent expression.
She said lightly: "Does my mother think it's the daughter instigated by her husband?" Or is it in the mother's heart, her daughter is so stupid? ”
Wang Qingyun lowered her eyes and looked at the peach blossom pink nails on her fingertips, as if she remembered some sweet past, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and even the cold color in her eyes became gentle.
"Does my mother look good on my nails?" Wang Qingyun said suddenly.
Mrs. Wang was stunned, confused by Wang Qingyun's attitude.
"This is the color that my husband personally tuned for me and dyed my nails personally." Wang Qingyun didn't mean to be embarrassed when she talked about this.
Looking at Mrs. Wang's dumbfounded appearance, she said lightly: "My husband cherishes me very much, and he loves Wei Zhou and their brothers and sisters very much. If the Wang family is very good to me, the husband is very good to me, not to mention ......"
Wang Qingyun snorted and laughed: "The Wang family...... My father is now able to compete with Zhang Xiang, who does he rely on, do you still need to say it? As a result, something happened to the Xie family, and my father was the first to draw a line. Now my mother has come to tell me about her affection. But I think that the kindness of the Wang family to raise me, my husband and sister have already finished for me. ”
Wang Qingyun caught a glimpse of her mother and was about to open her mouth to defend herself, but she stopped her with a gesture: "Mother will listen to me first." My mother thinks I'm selfish and cold, and the same is true for the Wang family. If you can do the first year of junior high school, why can't I do the fifteenth? The sister-in-law first hired assassins to assassinate important ministers in the court, and then cursed the future queen with witchcraft, isn't it a capital crime of raiding the family and destroying the family? My father was able to retreat with his whole body, and the Wang family was able to preserve the family's reputation because the husband did not pursue it, and because the queen mother helped the Wang family to intercede in front of His Majesty. ”
"That's it, the Wang family still feels wronged, do you only allow you to calculate people, but don't allow others to calculate back?"
Wang Qingyun sneered: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, I'll say all I have to say." My mother should not come to me again to intercede. Sometime...... Let's just do our best. ”
After Wang Qingyun finished speaking, he got up directly from the kang and instructed Wutong: "Since my mother likes this quiet room, how can I, as a daughter, not even have this little filial piety, then let it be left to my mother." ”
After going out, Wang Qingyun glanced coldly at the people who came over, and said sharply: "I don't bother to check who leaked the news today." Wutong, all the companions I brought from the Wang family, except for Mama Wang and Peonies, will be sold tomorrow at the latest. There are no minions in the Hou Mansion who betray their masters! ”
As soon as Wang Qingyun's voice fell, several of them immediately collapsed to the ground.
Wang Qingyun didn't even look at these subordinates, and walked away.
Sycamore hurriedly followed.
The Xie family has a great business, and there are many children in Zhuangzi, and there are many strong martial arts. Madame's decision may seem hasty, but it is actually deliberate.
As long as you wait until the people enter the mansion, those people in the capital, which one is not a human spirit, should naturally distinguish the direction of the wind, and save the Wang family's desire to be difficult to fill, and then come to the crooked wife.
……
The sale of servants by the Marquis of Jingping was rumored on the second day.
All the families were secretly inquiring for news, and when they heard that the subordinates who sold were all brought by the Marquis of Jingping from the Wang family, they were all shocked.
This Mrs. Hou has been married for more than ten years, but the people around her say that they will sell it, combined with the secret news that the Wang family's big house has smallpox, it makes people have a little meaning.
Zhangfuli.
Mrs. Zhang listened to the news brought by her daughter, although she was shocked, but she was not too surprised.
"Mother, this Wang Qingyun is really ruthless, saying that she doesn't have anything to do with her mother's family, and since she returned to Beijing, she hasn't been on her mother's door once, and now she has sold all her companions! I don't know how sad I will be if this is the case in the future. ”
"Okay, what do you say we Yiren do?"
Mrs. Zhang likes Jiang Yiren's smart and clever granddaughter very much, and she has to call her granddaughter to accompany her every day.
Listening to the words of the young girl in the first half, Mrs. Zhang didn't react yet, and when the young girl mentioned the Yiren, Mrs. Zhang frowned, hugged her granddaughter to her side, and said softly: "Our Yiren is the most well-behaved and cute, you are not allowed to bully her." ”
Old Madam Zhang's voice changed as she spoke, and she said lightly: "However, this can't all be blamed on Mrs. Jingpinghou. The matter between Wang and Xie's family is that you don't know the inside story. ”
"Mother, is there anything else going on here?" Zhang listened to his mother's words, and his eyes lit up.
Zhang has been following his husband in Jiangnan and has not returned to Beijing for more than ten years. When she came back suddenly this time, she didn't have a clear understanding of the undercurrents in the capital, and she wasn't even very well-informed, so it was no wonder that she was curious.
"Mother, you are so profound, what do you want to tell your grandmother to say. There are some secrets, true or false, it's better not to know. ”
Jiang Yiren interjected when he heard this.
The person who contradicted himself was his only beloved daughter, and Zhang had no temper at all. But he was unwilling to lose face in front of others, so he pretended to reprimand: "My mother is talking to your grandmother, what are you doing indiscriminately?" Beware of people who think you're not well-up. ”
The maintenance revealed between the lines of Zhang's words made Mrs. Zhang smile.
The people of the Zhang family are like this, and they can't protect their shortcomings the most.
"Well, Iren is right. The inside story of this, it is inconvenient for my mother to tell you. However, Wei Niang felt that Mrs. Jingping Hou was an understanding person. If it were me, it would be the same. ”
The Zhang family raised his eyebrows when he heard this, allowing his mother to say such biased words, it can be seen that the Wang family must have done something that made Wang Qingyun feel cold.
Zhang hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry." Who doesn't know that the queen mother was held in the palm of her hand by Her Majesty. The Xie family is now a hot time, how can her daughter offend Mrs. Jingpinghou. ”
"That's why I said that Mrs. Jingping Hou is a person who understands, not only understands, but also is smart." Old Madam Zhang said in admiration, "In the entire capital, there are many people who think the same as you!" ”
……
After Mrs. Wang returned to the house, she immediately fell ill.
Wang Qingyun received the news on the second day, she was silent for a while, and asked the maid to take out a century-old ginseng from the warehouse, a He Shou Wu that had become a type, and two boxes of blood swallows, which were sent with great fanfare, but Wang Qingyun didn't even show her face.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Wang made a bitter trick or not, she was going to be disappointed.
The second wife of the Wang family, Liu, was serving in the room of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and when she heard the news reported by the next person, she sighed and said to the maid: "Go to the front yard and tell your husband." Wait until your father is on duty, and then make a decision. ”
"Not necessarily." Old Madam Wang still had a towel on her forehead, and she took it off, with a sickly look on her face, but the fragility in her eyes was gone, but was replaced by perseverance.
"Tell the second master, just say what I said. Let that side don't interfere. ”
Liu Shi was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't know her mother-in-law, her eyes were wide open, and even a deep chill came up from the cracks of her bones.
Liu's family knows how much her mother-in-law once loved her sister-in-law, an only daughter, but after yesterday's trip to Tanzhe Temple, it was like a cold heart and lungs, which was completely regarded as having no sister-in-law.
Or is it ...... Mother-in-law's love for so many years is fake?
"What are you still doing, go!"
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she couldn't help coughing a few times.
She closed her eyes tiredly and murmured, "It's not that I'm ruthless. It's that our family has already offended the queen mother. Since the rift caused cannot be repaired, it can only go all the way to the dark. ”
Mrs. Wang said, a tear flowing from the corner of her eye.
She knew that if she did this, her daughter would have no future to speak of. But she couldn't help it. There are so many people in the Wang family, compared with his daughter alone, which side should he lean toward, do you still need to choose? !
"Mother, maybe things will turn around." Liu Shiqiang smiled and persuaded him. Regardless of whether the mother-in-law has made up her mind or not, Liu knows that if she doesn't persuade her, she is afraid that she will be hated by her mother-in-law in the future.
Mrs. Wang didn't know what her second daughter-in-law thought. But now, she didn't have the heart to care.
"I have always felt that I am more blessed than Mrs. Zhang. Can ...... now I'm not as good as her. ”
Old Madam Wang's voice was sad. For many years, the opponent has always been faintly overpowering Mrs. Zhang, but now the situation has reversed.
Even if she wins in the future, loses her eldest son and loses her young daughter, Mrs. Wang would rather not have such a victory.
Liu was silent for a while.
It's just that the sister-in-law is stupid herself, and she has to affect the family. I'm afraid that the thing my mother-in-law regrets most in her life is that she hired such a short-sighted, stubborn and dull wife for her uncle.
That night, after Wang Jin returned home, he heard about his wife's decision, and he sat quietly in his study for most of the night before blowing out the candle.
Wang Jin thought more than Mrs. Wang.
If this matter can be done without showing traces, if the horse's feet are exposed and stabbed to His Majesty, the wealth of the Wang family will really come to an end.
But the arrow is on the string, you can't help but send it, otherwise you will eat yourself!
Wang Jin suddenly got up from the bed and ordered the scholar to light the lamp.
He came to the desk, dipped himself in pen and ink, and quickly wrote a secret letter, sealed it with fire paint.
That's it, now that it's decided, let's do it to the end.
……
Inside the Royal Palace.
Xie Yanhe looked at the news delivered from the Hou Mansion, and his face was very ugly.
The mandarin duck served on the side, and after reading the contents of the letter, his mouth opened slightly, and he said incredulously: "Mr. Gu, why did he do this?" ”
"From the dragon's work, who doesn't want it? It's just that I didn't expect that even Mr. is not exempt from vulgarity. ”
Xie Yanhe crumpled the secret letter in his hand together with the envelope, and said lightly: "Burn it." If there is any news, let him send it to the Hou Mansion first. Priorities, sister-in-law will judge. ”
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, he looked at the soup cup sent by the palace maid and asked, "What about Your Majesty?" Are you still in the Imperial Study? ”
"Your Majesty announced that Zhang Xiang had entered the palace for an audience, and he had been talking secretly in the study for more than an hour." Feng Ying hurriedly replied.
Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows: "Is it only Zhang Fuming himself?" ”
The news that others can't find out is not difficult for Feng Ying. He lowered his voice and said, "Back to Niangniang's words, Your Majesty only saw Zhang Xiang alone. ”
Wang Jin: Is this being left out in the cold? Xie Yanhe hooked the corners of her lips meaninglessly, and she ordered: "Go to the imperial study." ”
Xie Yanhe took the palace maid through the imperial garden, and happened to collide with Wei Jin at the door of the imperial study.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, Xie Yanhe bent his lips, the smile on his face revealed some love, and deliberately used words to disgust Wei Jin: "Is the emperor also here to see your father?" Is the crown princess getting better? Why don't you always see her come to the palace to say goodbye? ”
Wei Jin was really disgusted by Xie Yanhe's "emperor".
Wei Jin's face was very ugly, but because of Xie Yanhe's identity, he had to swallow his anger and said, "Erchen asks the queen mother for peace." The crown princess is not very healthy, and when she is well, she will go to her mother to fulfill her filial piety. ”
Hearing this, Xie Yanhe said slowly: "If the crown princess is really uncomfortable, it is still important to recuperate, and this palace is not a bad mother-in-law." ”
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, as if he had just remembered, he said in a loving tone: "I heard in this palace that a female official in the East Palace is pregnant...... Prince, you can't mess up the concubine just because the princess is not in good health. ”
Xie Yanhe's words revealed a bit of warning.
Wei Jin was poked by her, his pupils shrank, and he said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your concern, Erchen has his own sense of proportion." ”
Xie Yanhe was refuted by Wei Jin lightly, but she didn't get angry, she seemed to have just thought about it, and said with a straight face: "The crown princess is young, but she looks sick and crooked all day long, how can she give birth to an heir?" It just so happens that Doctor Lou is in the palace, so you might as well ask Doctor Lou to ask the princess for a pulse, so that she can prescribe the right medicine. ”
Regarding Xie Yanhe's proposal, Wei Jin had a moment's heartbeat. But he quickly calmed down.
Lou He is the person invited by his father, if he asks him to take Rong'er's pulse, the truth that Rong'er can't get pregnant will definitely be leaked out.
The father has long been dissatisfied with Rong'er, if he lets his father know that Rong'er can't have children, then Rong'er won't want to keep the position of the crown princess.
Thinking of this, Wei Jin directly refused: "Erchen thanked his mother for the crown princess." It's just that the crown princess's body has been regulated by Imperial Doctor Jiang, and if she boldly changes doctors, it may backfire. ”
Xie Yanhe unabashedly showed a sneer.
Did Wei Jin still think that he would poison Chen Rong? If he really wants to poison him, it will also poison him, the prince.
"That's it, the palace is also saying a few words in vain, the prince doesn't appreciate it, then forget it." After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, Zhang Fuming happened to come out of the imperial study, and when he saw the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince outside the door, his face could not hide his astonishment.
Zhang Fuming bowed his head: "The old minister sees the queen mother and participates in His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Zhang Xiang, please."
Xie Yanhe's tone was soft, his smile was gentle, and he immediately returned to the image of a graceful, elegant, dignified, and majestic queen of the middle palace in front of people, and his words and deeds are even more of a benchmark for women in the world.
Wei Jin was shocked by her extremely rapid change of face.
"The queen mother is coming, why didn't she send someone to report it, and let the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince wait for a long time, it is the sin of the old minister."
Zhang Fu apologized to the two of them.
Zhang Xiang was polite. Hongu and the crown prince also just arrived. His Majesty and Zhang Xiang are discussing national affairs, and this palace will not be ignorant to disturb them. Xie Yanhe also complimented Zhang Fuming at the end of the sentence.
"The queen's mother is a model for women in the world."
When it comes to the kung fu of shaving and slapping horses, Zhang Fuming is not bad. It's just that with his status, there are very few people who can make him welcome.
After Zhang Fuming said this, he arched his hand towards the queen and the prince, and said, "The old minister will not disturb the queen and His Royal Highness the prince, and the old minister will retire." ”
"Zhang Xiang walks slowly." Xie Yanhe and the crown prince said in unison.
Xie Yanhe's face paused slightly, and he glanced at the prince coldly, obviously disgusted by the "tacit understanding" between the two people.
The same is true for Wei Jin.
The eyes of the two people secretly exchanged for a moment, and then "brushed" and separated.
Xie Yanhe didn't wait for the waiter to pass through, and stepped directly into the imperial study.
Wei Jin didn't have such an honor, looking at the closed door, the cold glint in his eyes flashed.
In the imperial study, Wei Zhao had already put down the fold in his hand, and when he saw Xie Yan and the soup cup in his hand, his sword eyebrows were slightly twisted.
"Why did you bring it in person? Be careful of scalding. ”
"That's my heart, of course I'm going to take it myself."
Xie Yanhe placed the tray directly on the long table where Wei Zhao was swinging, and she used a handkerchief to cushion it and uncover the lid.
"Aren't you upset in your throat? I personally stewed the Sichuan shellfish white fungus pear soup, simmered for more than three hours, try it. ”
Wei Zhao didn't like these sweet soups and water the most, but when he heard Xie Yanhe say that she had stewed them with her own hands, he picked up the soup cup and drank up a bowl of sweet soup in an instant without liking.
However, Xie Yanhe also asked expectantly, "How does it taste?" I didn't put too much sugar, but I added some red dates. Red dates nourish blood and qi, but they are not too sweet. ”
Wei Zhao felt that Xie Yanhe might have a misunderstanding of the words "not too sweet", especially as a man, where do you need to eat red dates to replenish blood.
But she can remember that she doesn't like sweets, which already makes Wei Zhao very happy
Not to mention that this bowl of pear soup tastes sweet, the white fungus melts in the mouth, and even the red dates are carefully pitted, even if it is really difficult to eat, Wei Zhao will drink it without changing his face.
"Nice, moderately sweet and delicious. After drinking it, I feel much better in my throat. Wei Zhao praised without thinking.
Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, and their eyes seemed to be twinkling stars.
"Then I'll boil you a bowl every day."
Wei Zhao didn't expect to be able to dig a big hole for himself with a casual sentence, he immediately said: "No need, I don't want you to work too hard." ”
"Taking care of your husband, how can this be considered hard?" Xie Yanhe is not stupid, of course she knows what Wei Zhao really means, but she doesn't want to let Wei Zhao get her wish
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Zhao's face, and his tone was suspicious: "Could it be that Your Majesty lied to me just now?" Isn't this pear soup actually delicious? ”
"Nope." Wei Zhao said immediately, but he realized that he had answered too quickly, and he didn't think about it: "Of course I like the sweet soup made by Mianmian himself. If I don't feel hard to sleep, I want to drink three meals a day. ”
"Where can I drink three meals a day?" Xie Yanhe pursed his lips and chuckled, and said softly: "If you really like it, I can also make some rock sugar blood swallow Sydney pear cup next time, Sydney lily porridge, honey steamed Sydney pear, Sydney lotus root flour cake, small hanging Sydney pear soup, osmanthus Sydney pear paste ......"
After Xie Yanhe said several sweets in a row, he chuckled and said: "There are many ways to make this pear, if you eat the same thing every day, you will get tired of eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow." ”
Wei Zhao listened to Xie Yanhe's long list of desserts, and his face turned blue for a while. He now knows what it means to be cocooned!
