Chapter 521: Epiphany
Duchess Ling Guo looked at the account book and felt extremely upset.
"Yun'er's marriage cost us a full 10,000 taels of silver. first bought her a house, then bought a servant and a shop, and finally bought a dowry. When someone else marries a daughter, it is an income, but we are a loss. This daughter was raised for nothing. Look at what she said to me. Which sentence looks like gratitude? I've got a debt collector. ”
"The eldest lady is still young and ignorant. When she becomes a mother, she will know the hard work of being a mother, and she will know the hard work of her wife. Madame, don't be sad. The old lady said.
"I don't care about that. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. She got married, and she lived her own life in the future. Just don't mess with me. Now I'm worried about how to fill in this account? Over the years, our store has almost lost money, and Grandpa Guo's entertainment also costs a lot of silver. The big house is still a medicine jar, and it is a large amount to see the doctor take medicine every month. There is also Jia'er, who has to spend 1,000 taels a month just to buy an inkstone, not to mention anything else. Others say that the scenery of the Guogong Mansion is the hardships that only I, the wife of the Guogong Mansion, knows. Grandpa Guo is a person who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, how can he know how difficult it is to earn this silver? ”
"It's still the one who makes money in the second room. But the second room is not close to the wife. I'm afraid it's impossible to ask them to help. The old lady sighed.
"Two bedrooms...... That's the biggest debt collector. After Duchess Ling Guo finished speaking in disgust, she heard a heart-rending sound coming from outside.
"Is Jia'er's voice outside?" Duchess Ling asked uncertainly.
The old lady was also confused: "It should be!" Shouting outside, mother, only our three sons. It's just that he said he was beaten? ”
"Let's go check it out." Duchess Ling Guo stood up anxiously.
Before he walked out, he saw Ling Shengjia howling and rushing over: "Mother...... You have to be the master of your son! The son was beaten. ”
Duchess Ling Guo held his face, her face full of worry: "Where was it beaten?" Who hit it? ”
Ling Shengjia pointed to his face: "Here!" Look, isn't it red? It hurts! Mother. Even you didn't hit me, that woman dared to hit me. ”
"My precious son, who would dare to do such a cruel blow to you? Tell my mother. Mother will help you get revenge. Duchess Ling Guo said as she blew.
"Who else? There are only two people in this mansion who don't take you, the Duchess of the country, seriously. One is Ling Shengyi, and the other is his woman. Mother, I originally came to see her as my second sister-in-law, politely Say hello to her, but I didn't expect her to slap her without saying a word. I asked her why she hit me, and she said it didn't look good at me. I'm the third son of the Ling Guo Mansion, what qualifications does she, a businesswoman, have to slap me in the face? As her mother-in-law, you must take care of her and let her know how good you are. ”
"It's her again." Duchess Ling Guo said angrily: "Mother will never let her go." However, she really beats you without saying a word. Why did she hit you? Did you provoke her? ”
Duchess Ling Guo had long wanted to clean up Chu Yuqin, but she had Ling Shengyi as a backer, and she couldn't touch her during Ling Shengyi's time in the mansion. Now that Ling Shengyi has gone on an errand, according to his previous situation, he will not come back once in ten days and half a month. Taking advantage of Ling Shengyi's absence, she has more opportunities to do it.
From Ling Shengjia's description, she seemed to see Chu Yuqin sent to the door to find her own death. If this is really the situation he said, her mother-in-law has to let her know whose territory this is and who the mistress of the Ling Guo Mansion is.
Ling Shengjia was a little weak-hearted.
But he knew Duchess Ling Guo too well.
Duchess Ling Guo just wanted to find an excuse to clean up Chu Yuqin. Whether it's true or not, she doesn't care at all.
"It's true, mother."
Is it true, not by what he said?
Will Duchess Ling Guo still believe that Chu Yuqin is a slut?
Even if Chu Yuqin argued, as the Duchess of Ling Guo, would Chu Yuqin dare to resist?
"Good! As a sister-in-law, she actually slapped her brother-in-law in the face. Who gave her guts? Mama Zhao, let's go, we will meet this bold slut. ”
The group rushed to Ling Shengyi and Chu Yuqin's courtyard.
The passing maid trotted into Ling Shengzhi's courtyard.
"The eldest prince ......," the maidservant said, gasping: "Eldest prince, the Duchess of the Kingdom took the third prince to the courtyard of the prince and the prince and the lady of the prince angrily. Looking at this, the Duchess seemed to be very angry. ”
Ling Shengzhi was drinking tea in the courtyard. After listening to the maidservant's words, he said gently, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" What is there to say. Don't run like this in the future. How tired are you? ”
The maidservant was treated so gently by Ling Shengzhi that her cheeks turned red all of a sudden.
She said softly: "The slave is worried about the eldest prince. The Duchess is so angry, the eldest prince must not intercede for the Prince's wife! ”
Ling Shengzhi frowned: "But what is my mother so angry for?" Have you heard anything? ”
"Listening to other sisters, it seems that it was because Mrs. Shizi slapped the third prince in the face. The third son's face was swollen. The slave and the maid are not very clear. Son, don't wade into this troubled water! The slave and maid still had something to do, so they retired first. The maidservant glanced at Ling Shengzhi affectionately, turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Ling Shengzhi called the maidservant: "Yue'er." ”
The maidservant immediately stopped, turned to look at Ling Shengzhi, her eyes were as bright as stars: "Does the eldest prince have any other orders?" Yue'er will definitely do so. ”
Ling Shengzhi smiled slightly: "Silly girl, you have lost a lot of weight recently, but you haven't taken good care of yourself?" ”
"The slave is fine. Prince Lao is worried. Yue'er blushed and squeaked.
"My courtyard door is open for you at any time. You can come when you want. If I'm hungry, I've got something to eat here. Don't grieve yourself. Ling Shengzhi said gently.
"The slave and maid thanked the son." Yue'er happily ran out.
Yue'er disappeared, the smile on Ling Shengzhi's face disappeared, the gentleness was like a flower in a mirror, only some water waves remained.
Jiang saw all this in his eyes.
She laughed bitterly at herself: "You are not as good as a servant girl." ”
The handmaid can at least get his short-lived tenderness, but what about her? After being married for so long, he didn't even bother to give alms. To him, she was not as useful as the maid who inquired about the news.
Is it that if she is valuable, he will do the same to her?
But where is her value?
A Jiang family is also dilapidated, and even left a mess for her to clean up, and he had to stumble over him.
"This month, the girl is so cute. There are no other concubines around the husband, so why don't you take her in! Jiang said bitterly.
Ling Shengzhi's action of drinking tea remained unchanged: "There is no need for this." ”
