The Mao family in Liangzhou can only be regarded as in the middle among many families, and it should have a dull reputation, but ten years ago, because of the fact that the eldest lady of the Mao family left the court, the Mao family was suddenly pushed to the forefront of the waves.

The fourth lady looked inexplicable, she didn't quite understand what her father-in-law meant, if she made trouble again, Mrs. Mao's yesterday would be her tomorrow?

Thinking of this, the fourth lady looked at the back of the old lady and the old lady in the distance, and her depression turned into fear, and she began to reflect on why she was so impulsive! Even if she can ignore nothing, she still has a son, and her son can't have a mother who has left the church!

"Fourth master, let's go back to the courtyard, shall we?" , she said timidly.

Bai Siye looked at her expressionlessly, and after a long time, he nodded.

After a while, only the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady were left in the hall.

The third lady has always been quiet, so she just drank tea in silence.

It was supposed that they should also go back to their respective courtyards at this moment, but the three of them still sat together tacitly, and no one said that they wanted to leave.

The second lady glanced at the third lady beside her, and then looked at the eldest lady opposite.

In the end, she took the lead, because relatively speaking, she felt that she was the least affected by the old lady's warning.

"Sister-in-law, the eldest lady of the Mao family that my father refers to is the one who invited herself to the court ten years ago?" , the second lady's questioning voice was somewhat uncertain.

The eldest lady nodded, "It can only be her." ”

"Father, what do you mean by that?" , the second lady continued to ask.

The eldest lady looked at the second lady with a funny expression, "Don't you understand?" ”

Although there were no outsiders, they were directly punctured into their thoughts, and the second lady was stunned for a while.

At this time, the third lady realized that the two sisters-in-law were playing double reeds, and they were actually ordering her.

So the third lady simply stopped pretending, "Sister-in-law, I don't understand it a little, I roughly heard that this Mei family is supported by the saint today to restrain the Zheng family, so what is the fourth brother?" Digging the foot of the wall at the behest of his father? ”

"Flutter", as soon as the third lady's statement of "digging the foot of the wall" came out, the eldest lady and the second lady were amused for a while.

"Third brother and sister, what you said is appropriate, but I'm afraid that this corner was pasted by myself." The eldest lady said.

"Sister-in-law means that the Mei family wants to get out of the control of the saint?" , the third lady exclaimed.

The eldest lady nodded, "Exactly, I wasn't sure at first, but when the fourth brother and the eldest master said this just now, I figured it out for a while." ”

"This saint is from a family, and the family is used to like to huddle together for warmth, just like the inextricable relationship between our mother's family and the Bai family, and the Yang family, the family is naturally unknown, this Mei family is afraid that it has been the current saint many years ago, or the Yang family's pawns, and since the Yang family became a royal family, those pawns in the past are naturally rising."

"This is the case with the Mei family, and the same is true with the Cao family, that is, the Cao family that squeezed out the position of the eldest lady of the Mao family."

Speaking of this, the eldest lady suddenly paused for a moment, and then took another sip of water to moisten her throat.

The third lady was thinking at this time, but the second lady's expression did not change at all, obviously what the eldest lady just said, she also knew.

After the eldest lady put down the teacup, she looked at the second and third ladies sitting opposite her, and continued, "Brothers and sisters, why do you think the eldest lady of the Mao family went down to the court? ”

The third lady didn't know much about this matter, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing or making some jokes, so she didn't dare to say more for a while, so she just turned her head to look at the second lady.

The second lady doesn't have so many worries. "Because I found out that my husband had an affair with the one of the Qin family, I was not angry for a while, so I simply invited myself to the court?"

The eldest lady shook her head, "She is not resentful, on the contrary, she is fulfilling the Mao family and fulfilling the last duties of the eldest lady of the Mao family." ”

"To make room for others to be the seat of the wife, what is this called fulfillment, how can there be such a low fulfillment in the dust?" , the second lady obviously didn't believe the eldest lady's statement, and this reason made her feel ridiculous. "It's better to be killed by one head, at least you can still press the Qin family."

The eldest lady smiled lightly.

"Then what if the Qin family is unwilling? You must know that the Qin family at that time completely suppressed the Mao family, and also completely suppressed the maiden family of Mrs. Mao, under the pressure of these two sides, she is a weak woman, even if she is dead to her husband's family, but at least she has to think about her mother's family, death is never the most terrible, what is terrible is that she can't die calmly. ”

"For hundreds of years, the imperial power and the Saga Group have either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and the two have become relatively lawful. But in the past few decades, the Yang family has gradually transformed from a big family to a representative of imperial power, and those families who rely on the Yang family will be willing to be minions for the rest of their lives? Especially when their own strength has far exceeded that of ordinary families, they will think, a certain family can live well without relying on the royal family, and even occasionally argue with the royal family and the emperor on some issues, they are no worse than these families now, and even higher than one line, why do they still have to be this echo worm, when this urgent pioneer?!! ”

"But rashly betraying the lord is obviously not a particularly wise choice, so the Qin family, which was already extremely strong at that time, thought of the traditional way of holding together between the families, that is, marriage, and even in order to ensure their right to speak, the object of this marriage is not the head of the other party's family or the next family, and the Mao family did not even have an heir at that time, of course, they had to choose the uncle of the Mao family."

Hearing the words of the eldest lady, the second lady involuntarily covered her mouth, she was obviously stunned at the moment, not to mention the third lady beside her, who knew little more than her.

After a long time, the second lady reacted a little, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean, this Mei family is also reversed?" And then the Mei family chose our Bai family? Then why didn't that Mei squeeze out the four siblings? No, the fourth brother is not a family member, right? ”

The eldest lady let out a soft "huh".

But the third lady was the first to interject, "Second sister-in-law, what qualifications does the Mei family have to squeeze out the sister-in-law?" She deserves it too? ”

Yes, even if the momentum of the Mei family's development is fierce, can it still compare to the precipitation of the Zhong family for hundreds of years in just ten or twenty years? You must know that the Zhong family has not declined for hundreds of years since its inception!

At this time, the eldest lady spoke again.

"Mei's original choice is not the fourth brother, I guess it should be the Zheng family, after all, the Zheng family and the Mei family are in Yangzhou, and if the two families are in the same breath, it is not as simple as one plus one, but due to fate, the fourth brother went to Yanguan, so the Mei family finally chose to climb the fourth brother, which is not out of line."

"After all, the relationship between the Zheng family and my mother's Zhong family is very close, and I have contacted the Zhong family and the Bai family, and the Mei family has caught up with the fourth brother, which is much cheaper than choosing a Zheng family."

Although there was some hesitation, in the end, the eldest lady lowered her voice and continued.

“…… And the name of an inexplicable 'flat wife' is my father's sincerity to the Mei family. ”
