Chapter 17: Conspiracy (1)

At the same time, Shangfang's conspiracy against Tang Shiyu is about to begin.

"Mother, several families in the capital are inquiring about Xue'er's family." Lin was looking at Old Madam Hou with a flattering expression.

"Oh! What are they? Old Madam Hou had kind eyes on her face, and people who didn't know her thought she was a very kind old man. But Lin knew that Old Madam Hou's methods were not something she could think of, and she was also afraid of the other party from the bottom of her heart.

Old Madam Hou looked at Tang Shixue, who was standing behind the Lin family with a shy face, and nodded secretly. Although the other party has a bad personality, this skin is good. And the subordinates in her house are more strict and will not spread the things in the house, so she is not worried, someone knows Tang Shixue's shortcomings.

The smart Lin family casually said a few powerful people, all of them are the hottest magnates in the capital now. Even if the family affair didn't work out in the end, Mrs. Hou wouldn't blame her, she must have only said that people inquired about Xue'er's situation at the beginning.

Sure enough, as she expected, the light in Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed, and she knew that her words had hit the itch in the other party's heart. Even if she doesn't admit that the current Hou Mansion has declined, she still needs to marry with the powerful family.

But what she didn't know, Tang Shixue, who was standing behind her, had already put her words into her heart. At this moment, Tang Shixue is already dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family, and she wants to slap the faces of those who look down on her.

Over the years, she has not made a handkerchief friend with a wealthy lady, and she looks down on her one by one, and looks down on people with dog eyes. Fortunately, there were those small families who came to please her, which made her heart balance a lot.

The other two concubines, following the kind words that followed without money, desperately slapped Tang Shixue's body. And Yang, who was standing on the other side, also praised a few words with the crowd, but she squeezed the handkerchief and used a little more force.

Her identity is destined to be unable to give her daughter and fight for a good in-law. Fortunately, she has been low and small for so many years, and she has coaxed the Lin family.

As a concubine, Tang Shixue found a good in-law, then her daughter would not be too bad, as for Tang Shiyu, she was not taken to heart by these people at all.

"But Xue'er must be the second miss, the eldest lady is not married, and those people are embarrassed to come to the door." After Lin finished speaking, she lowered her head with a sad face, but her eyes were observing Old Madam Hou's expression.

The hall was silent for a while, and the old lady did not speak, even if the eldest lady was a fool, it was not for them to make arrangements. As the way of survival of the concubine in the cracks, they still understand.

"Find someone who does her duty, give a decent dowry, and whether she lives or dies in the future is her own business." No matter what Tang Shiyu does, she must still be the flesh and blood of the Tang family, and she can't make the Tang family's face look bad.

"Mother, this is not good, the eldest lady is also the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion no matter what. It's not something that those small families can think about, I see Yu'er as my own flesh and blood! The Lin family hurriedly objected, because they were afraid that Mrs. Hou would make a decision.

"Niang ......" Tang Shixue, who was standing next to Lin's, stabbed Lin's waist anxiously. She didn't understand, what her mother hated the most was Tang Shiyu, why did she have to think about each other everywhere?

"You kid, I know that you are the closest to your sister." Lin patted Tang Shixue's hand soothingly, and secretly gave her a look.
