Chapter 176: Struggle
Today's Mrs. Yongchangbo only has a son and a daughter.
Her son Liao Yongnian has the support of her and her grandmother, Princess Qinghe, and was originally preparing to compete with Liao Yongheng, the original son of Yongchang Bo, who died early, for the title of Yongchang Earl's Mansion.
But because Liao Yong got the grace to enter the palace and get close to the second prince Xiao Jin, he was involved in the case of the eldest prince and the sixth prince, and was driven out of the palace by Emperor Chu.
A few years later, Mrs. Yongchangbo was thinking of begging Princess Qinghe to come forward to ask for a favor for Liao Yongnian and find him an errand, so that he would not be in shape when he lingered in the wine shop all day long. The eldest princess of Qinghe knew that this grandson was not qualified to inherit the title, and she couldn't bear to let him go to waste, so she could only show her face. Even crying and begging moved Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu could only let go and gave Liao Yongnian an idle position in the household department.
Who would have expected that at such a juncture, Liao Yongnian was killed.
The only son died suddenly, and Mrs. Yongchangbo immediately vomited blood after hearing the bad news, and almost went with Liao Yongnian.
Liao Yongnian's main wife is the granddaughter of Princess Qinghe, and she is also his cousin. It's just that the girl was raised by her mother, who was born in a scholarly family, and Liao Yongnian, who was doted on and raised by Mrs. Yongchangbo, couldn't even speak. Liao Yongnian was not close to his wife, but raised a few concubines and rooms in his yard.
is also for this reason, before Liao Yongnian's death, his wife has not yet come out. The viagra that Mrs. Yongchang said in his mouth was the widow born to him by Liao Yongnian's concubine.
Without a son-in-law, Mrs. Yongchangbo put all her expectations on her daughter who married into the Second Prince's Mansion as a side concubine. The partial daughter is not angry, she and the second princess were found to be pregnant on the front and back feet. But the second princess gave birth to her eldest son smoothly, but she almost got pregnant with a difficult birth, so she gave birth to a girl.
Fortunately, Yongchangbo firmly stood on the side of the second prince, and together with the eldest princess of Qinghe, his daughter was able to maintain her position in the second prince's mansion.
But after a few years, she was stunned that she was never pregnant again, but the second princess gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
Her daughter Liao returned to the Earl's Mansion in Yongchang yesterday.
"I'm afraid that your brother doesn't know what to do with this matter, even if he does, he can't let him return to the imperial capital alive and involve our family." Mrs. Yongchangbo listened to Yongchangbo's words, and only said with a sneer.
"What do you mean!" Yongchangbo's eyes widened in shock when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief. "That's my half-brother!"
"Don't you know what I mean? It is true that he is your own brother, but he is not the only one in the Earl of Yongchang Mansion who is your relative. If the title of Earl of Yongchang is lost in your hands, you will die in the future, and you will have the face to confess to the ancestors of your Liao family. Mrs. Yongchangbo said very coldly. At present, not only do I have to think of protecting the title of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, but I also have to pull the second prince out of this matter, only in this way can my daughter continue to live in the second prince's mansion. She has always been at odds with the second princess, if there is no Earl of Yongchang behind her, how long can she last under the hands of the second princess. ”
After that, Mrs. Yongchangbo didn't wait for Yongchangbo to reply, she got up and left, and turned around and went to Liao's courtyard. Liao returned to the Earl's Mansion in Yongchang yesterday and rested in the courtyard before he got married.
"Mother, what kind of charter is in my father's heart now?" Liao, who got the news, hurriedly greeted him, took Mrs. Yongchangbo's hand and asked eagerly. "We don't have that much time to think about it now, the Jinqiwei who went to Jiangnan to arrest my uncle has already set off to leave the imperial capital."
Mrs. Yongchangbo glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid stopped at her senses, and Mrs. Yongchangbo pulled Liao into the room and sat down.
"Can you still not know your father's wretched nature?" Mrs. Yongchangbo said hatefully. "He still wants to beg Liao Yongheng to come back and preside over the overall situation of the Earl's Palace!"
"Does Father want Big Brother to come back to the Imperial Capital?" Liao said.
"Isn't it?" Thinking of Yongchangbo's desire to let Liao Yongheng return to the imperial capital, Mrs. Yongchangbo was even more angry.
Liao Yongheng is only four years older than Liao Yongnian, and Mrs. Yongchangbo was entangled with Yongchangbo when she was unmarried, and she became pregnant, in order to marry into the Yongchang Earl's Mansion smoothly before she became pregnant. Mrs. Yongchangbo and Princess Qinghe bought off a maid next to Yongchangbo's original wife and poisoned the already frail and sickly Mrs. Yongchangbo's original wife. The eldest princess of Qinghe personally came forward to threaten Yongchangbo without even passing the hundred days of filial piety, so she tore the white cloth and soul-attracting banner on the house, and hurriedly married Mrs. Yongchangbo and entered the door.
After Mrs. Yongchang entered the door, after diagnosing that the fetus in the house was a male fetus, she wanted to repeat the old trick several times, thinking that she would simply get rid of Liao Yongheng, and the title of the Earl of Yongchang Mansion would be the child in her womb in the future.
But the old lady Yongchang is still alive, and the old lady personally picked up Liao Yongheng, who lost her biological mother, to raise her in her yard, three meals a day, and daily dressing without pretending to others.
Mrs. Yongchangbo had only another idea, and when the child in her womb was about to be born at full term, she deliberately stimulated the young Liao Yongheng with words to rush into her. On the one hand, she framed Liao Yongheng for disrespecting her stepmother and wanting to kill the child in her womb, and on the other hand, she also used this excuse to cover up that the child in her womb was not born at term, but was born prematurely after being hit at eight months.
Sure enough, Mrs. Yongchangbo struggled to give birth to Liao Yongnian.
Originally, Liao Yongheng's maternal grandfather's family was not only not in the imperial capital but also had not yet gained momentum, and Liao Yongnian had more advantages in the competition for the title.
But when Liao Yongheng grew up, his grandfather's family became popular. Not only did his maternal grandfather enter the cabinet, but his two uncles were both feudal officials, so Yongchangbo had to come forward to ask for the position of a petty official for Liao Yongheng.
Even Yongchangbo himself didn't expect that the eldest son, who had failed the imperial examination several times, still had some talent. After entering the household department, he actually jumped several levels in a few years, and even showed his face in front of the household department book at that time, and his career became smoother and smoother.
When his biological mother died early, although Liao Yongheng was only four years old, he always had doubts about his biological mother's death. It was only because he was afraid of his grandmother who raised him that Liao Yongheng never had a problem.
It wasn't until after the death of the old lady of Yongchang that Liao Yongheng invited his two uncles to come to the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang and asked Yongchang Bo, the original partner of Yongchang was obviously just a weak disease, and he only needed to be a good student to raise his body.
There is also Mrs. Yongchangbo deliberately calculating Liao Yongheng's collision with herself.
Yongchangbo and Mrs. Yongchangbo's faces were ugly, they really didn't expect Liao Yongheng, who was less than five years old at the time, to remember so many things.
However, Mrs. Yongchangbo knew that Liao Yongheng had no evidence in her hands, and the maids and related people involved in the incident had already been cleaned up by Mrs. Yongchangbo in the past ten years, and there was no living mouth left, she bit to death and did not admit to poisoning Yongchangbo's original partner, and there was adultery and pregnancy with Yongchangbo before marriage, and even used Princess Qinghe to intimidate Liao Yongheng.
Mrs. Yongchangbo's refusal to admit death made Liao Yongheng confirm that the death of his biological mother was indeed related to Mrs. Yongchangbo, and even Yongchangbo and his grandmother knew about it.
Liao Yongheng had no solid evidence in his hands, and he could not convict Mrs. Yongchangbo, so he broke with Yongchangbo, and with the help of his grandfather's family, he took his wife and children to seek release and left the imperial capital.
"But my mother and brother are no longer here, and my father has no other sons in law besides my eldest brother." Liao said. "Those who come out of the family are useless, I think my father is right, the eldest brother is still the son of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, he is no longer at odds with the family, and he can't watch the Yongchang Earl's Mansion decline."
"Why did you come to have the same idea as your father?!" Mrs. Yongchangbo pointed at Liao angrily and said. "That person was born to be against me, your father and daughter are good, and they all want to ask him to come back to the Baojue Mansion!"
"Mother, but there is no other way now. The mother of Her Royal Highness I serve knows that if there is no Earl Yongchang Mansion behind me, I can be favored for a few days with my face that will eventually fade and a concubine daughter. "Liao was scolded by Mrs. Yongchangbo's nose, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears." Mother, you only have a daughter like me now, do you really care about me? ”
"Thou sinful, thou shalt stab my heart when you say these words." Mrs. Yongchangbo also couldn't stop crying. "It's not that you don't fight, but you gave birth to a weak girl. Over the years, I and your grandmother have been looking for many doctors for you in order to heal your body. ”
When talking about the fact that he was not pregnant after giving birth to a frail and sickly daughter, Liao's tears fell even more.
"Mother." Liao said with a choked voice. "I don't want to blame my mother for anything, it's just that if the eldest brother comes back, because the eldest brother will inherit the title in the future, the eldest brother's maternal grandfather and uncles will not watch the Yongchang Earl's Mansion fall into trouble."
Mrs. Yongchangbo's heart was a little loose for a moment, but she suddenly remembered that Liao Yongheng glanced at her coldly when she said goodbye to Yongchangbo.
It is true that Liao Yongheng and the maternal grandfather behind him will not watch the Yongchang Earl's Mansion fall.
But if Liao Yongheng returns to the imperial capital again, I am afraid that she will not get along so well.
