Chapter 273: Little Lord Mu's helplessness
Listening to Zhang's mother's explanation, Mu Xiaojun's face became cold at that time, holding the Tang Pozi with a flannel cloth in her arms, she lowered her head and looked at Zhang's mother coldly, and asked rhetorically.
"Mother Zhang, you keep saying that it is for my good, I want to hear it, how are you for my good?
Deliver the news of me in Punpu back to the palace, and let the mother send a secret guard to arrest me, is this what you say is good for me?"
Lord Mu asked a few rhetorical questions, and blocked Zhang's mother on the spot so that she couldn't say a word.
Mother Zhang was stunned for a long time, but still said: "County Lord, the old slave is the princess Niangniang who came to serve you, and I grew up watching the county lord, how can I not be good for the county lord?"
The princess promised the county lord to the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, and if the county lord doesn't like him, you can disobey the orders of the princess and the princess without permission and escape from the palace without permission. Have you ever thought that after you escaped from the palace, Mrs. Pingning Hou and the second wife of the Pingjia family went to the palace and asked the princess Niangniang, how should the princess answer the princess?"
Lord Mu didn't expect that Mother Zhang would answer her like this, her marriage with the eldest son of the Marquis of Naping Ning was originally negotiated between her mother and the second wife of the Ping family.
She was unwilling to marry the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, as for her escaping from marriage, how should her mother respond to the Ping family, that is her mother's own business, what does it have to do with her?
"Mother Zhang, you also know, my marriage with the eldest prince of the Pingning Hou Mansion was agreed upon by the mother concubine and the second wife of the Ping Ning Hou Mansion, I don't even know what the eldest prince of the Pingning Hou Mansion looks like, the mother concubine is going to marry me to the Hou Mansion, this is what my mother said, is the mother good for me?"
Lord Mu's words were cold, so that Zhang's mother didn't speak for a long time.
"County Lord, no matter what, you were conceived and born in October by the princess, and she will never harm you. The eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion has a dignified appearance, and the jade tree is in the wind, and he is also a talented person, and he is also a match for the county lord. You fled without caring about the prince and the princess, which has already angered the Ping family. β
Zhang's mother didn't have any scruples, so she simply told the news handed down by the palace to Lord Mu Xiaojun.
"County Lord, since you fled the palace. Mrs. Ning Ning and the second wife of the Ping family came to the door at two ends in three days to ask about the whereabouts of the county lord, but the prince did not know the whereabouts of the county lord, and he did not want to deal with the Ping family, so he went to Pengchengbo's mansion to live temporarily. The princess was alone in the house, sending Mrs. Pingning Hou and the second wife of the peace family. β
This matter, even if Zhang's mother didn't say it, Lord Mu Xiaojun also guessed a rough idea.
What kind of family is the Pingning Hou Mansion, the fiancΓ©e of the eldest son of the Ping family has escaped, and their family is naturally going to come to investigate, how can they sit idly by?
It's just that she didn't expect that Mrs. Pingninghou and the second wife of the Pingning family would come to the door twice in three days to harass her father and princess, but why didn't her father and princess order someone to drive them out?
Lord Mu Xiaojun was about to speak, only to hear Mother Zhang say again.
"County Lord, Mrs. Pingning Hou has already told the princess, and the Ping family has already handed over the invitation to the wedding banquet. If it is a big wedding at that time, if you only see the eldest son of the Ping family and don't see the county lord, the Pingning Marquis Mansion will lose face in front of her relatives, and she will not give up with the royal mansion. β
Handed out the invitation so quickly? That Heijia is really in a monkey hurry!
She has not found the bride yet, so she handed the invitation out, if she does not appear at that time, I am afraid that the Pingning Marquis Mansion will lose face in front of relatives.
The Pingning Hou Mansion is just the Hou Mansion, and they Mu Wangfu is the hereditary palace, and the one in the palace came out, and they also want to give a little thin noodles. Could it be that she didn't appear, and Mu Wangfu was still afraid of her being a little Pingning Marquis Mansion?
Mu Xiaojun Lord thought so in his heart, and said.
"That Pingning Hou Mansion is just a small Hou Mansion, if I don't show up at that time, can it be that he can still take the palace? Besides, promising me to the eldest son of the Ping family is already a low marriage, and now I don't want to marry it, is it difficult to see the face of their Ping family?
If this is the case, then our palace will become more and more aggrieved! β
Lord Mu Xiaojun himself also knows that Mu Wangfu has been squeezed out by the ministers of the court and the central government over the years, and the one in the palace has gradually developed the idea of snubbing Mu Wangfu, and even the gifts given to Mu Wangfu every year are much less.
Those families are the most familiar with the wind and rudder, and they don't pay attention to Mu Wangfu in the palace, and those who are trampled under the feet of Mu Wangfu on weekdays are eager to come up and step on it in order to relieve their anger.
Over the years, Mu Wangfu has not been enough to see these old families in Yunnan, and even Lu Liangwei's Yang family and Ruan family, Jinping's Fan family, have a tendency to cross Mu Wangfu.
This is also the reason why Prince Mu and Princess Mu want to take advantage of the marriage of Lord Mu to win over the Marquis of Pingning. The Ping family is in a well-established family in Yunnan, but it is the only one who can speak. Winning over the Ping family is equivalent to gaining a firm foothold in the entire Yunnan family circle.
"County Lord, the princess also told you. The palace has been worse than a year after year, if you don't win over the Ping family like this, I'm afraid that in a few years, no one will know about Lijiang's Mu Wangfu. β
Mother Zhang was instructed by Princess Mu to serve the little county lord Mu, and she said that this was also for the good of the palace and the good of the little county lord Mu.
Seeing that Mu Xiaojun's face was a little moved, Zhang's mother continued to persuade a few words.
"County Lord, for the sake of the prince and princess, and for the sake of the palace, I can only wronged you. Although you have never seen the eldest prince of Pingning, but the eldest prince of Pingning has seen you, he has the county lord in his heart, if the county lord marries the Hou Mansion, the eldest prince will definitely protect the county lord. β
"Why should I sacrifice my life's work in exchange for the glory of the palace? Why sacrifice me, not the eldest brother, the second brother, or even the third brother? Could it be that because I am a girl's family, I can handle it at will, and my father, queen and mother are going to take my life's events in exchange for the glory of the palace?
Just because my brothers will support the court in the future, do they deserve to sacrifice me? Lord Mu said, his eyes gradually moistened.
She is the pearl of Prince Mu and Princess Mu, and she is the delicate and arrogant little lord of Mu Wangfu.
once thought that her father, queen and mother would give her her own decision. Choose a good son-in-law who likes you and likes yourself, who knows that today, all this is fake! It's all fake! Fake!
Thinking like this, Lord Mu Xiaojun leaned on Zhang's mother's arms, and suddenly cried into tears.
Lord Mu Xiaojun cried too suddenly, Mother Zhang didn't react, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only let Lord Mu Xiaojun pull her tightly.
Zhang's mother also knew that she had wronged the county lord by letting the county lord marry to Pingning Houfu, but for the sake of the future of the palace, there was no way.
Since the county lord is the county lord of Mu Wangfu, he should think about the prosperity of the family and the glory of the palace, and it is natural to pay for his life.
