Chapter 24: Inquiry 3

"Yuan'er ......" The light on Wen Wei's face dimmed, and Nuo Nuo said: "You know, he is soft on girls, not to mention that Jiang Ruoyun looks like a fox......."

"Confused!" Mrs. Tai said angrily: "Yuan'er is young, there are some truths that I don't understand, you have to say that he understands, a manly man, as long as he is famous, what kind of beauty do you want, but the wife is related to the prosperity of the family, don't be sloppy!" ”

Wen Wei bowed his head and did not speak.

"Hey! You......" Mrs. Tai sighed helplessly and said, "When Yuan'er was young, I reminded you, don't be too spoiled, don't be too spoiled!" But what about you, but you always promise, now it's okay, it's uncomfortable to have you, right? ”

Wen Wei secretly pursed her lips, thinking in her heart, Mrs. Tai's doting on Wen Boyuan is too much compared to her, how can the current result be her responsibility?

"Come to think of it, your mother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the best way is to let Yuan'er get married as soon as possible......" Thinking of the things mentioned by Wen Wei last month, Mrs. Tai asked with concern: "Didn't you say last time that you took a fancy to the fifth lady of Li Shilang's family?" also said that he made an appointment with Mrs. Li to listen to the play together, how was the conversation? ”

When Wen Wei heard this, anger immediately surged into his heart, and he complained: "As soon as Mrs. Li heard that Yuan'er had offended the prince of Fu'an, she sent someone to the door on the same day, saying that the fifth lady of their family was approved by a senior monk and it was not appropriate to discuss marriage this year, and what is even more coincidental is that I was busy at the time, and the person who delivered the message was led to my mother-in-law's courtyard by a blind subordinate...... When I went out yesterday, she was still messing around! ”

"She's making trouble? What's the fuss? Something happened to my grandson, and I didn't care at all! I know that little bit of careful thinking in her heart! Mrs. Tai pursed her lips disdainfully, and then said: "The son who watched the play is not here, what trick can she make?" ”

"What else?" Wen Wei also looked disdainful, and said: "In the ancestral hall, I just held the spiritual seat of my father-in-law and scolded Huai for a few words." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did she scold?"

Wen Wei's face was resentful, and he said unspeakably: "It's just a few sentences over and over again...... said that I didn't have her in my eyes, and I was not filial...... I can't change any new tricks. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Wen Wei's red and swollen eyes, her heart throbbed, and she said bitterly: "It's all bad mother, I admit that I have read countless people, but I was stunned at the beginning, and I was deceived by her low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, I thought that she was from a low background and had no knowledge, so she would not be embarrassed by you, but I didn't expect it...... I'm the one who caused you to suffer like this all day long! ”

"Mother!" Wen Wei hurriedly hugged Mrs. Tai's arm and said eagerly: "Why did my mother say such a thing again!" You were also for your daughter's good...... All this is fate, my daughter heard people say that in this life, either sweet first and then bitter, or bitter first and then sweet, it is always a rare and satisfying ...... The daughter thought that maybe it was too sweet when she was by her mother's side, so it would always ......be unpleasant after getting married."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Tai hugged Wen Wei in her arms and said firmly: "Your life was approved by a senior monk when you were a child, and it is a life of glory and wealth...... How long can Mrs. Jiang live? Your good days are still to come, so you don't have to say these mourning words......"

"Yes......" Wen Wei replied with a sob.

The mother and daughter hugged quietly for a while.

"Mother......" Wen Wei said sadly: "I'm really scared, I've never been afraid of my mother-in-law's tricks against me, but now I'm afraid that she will secretly do something to Yuan'er, and Yuan'er is not vigilant against her, maybe Yuan'er will follow her path and get to the point where she has to marry Jiang Ruoyun...... If that day really comes, the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion will really have no place for her daughter......"

Mrs. Tai was silent, without words.

After waiting for a while, Wen Wei said again: "I know you like Ying'er, why don't I want to marry Ying'er to accompany you, but I have no choice but to do it!" You also said that Yuan'er had to settle for marriage as soon as possible to break off her mother-in-law's thoughts, but her mother-in-law was already eyeing her, and Yuan'er still offended King Fu'an at this time...... After thinking about it, except for the three girls, there is no better candidate...... Ying'er is a smart child, besides, with the help of your old man, Ying'er will definitely be able to marry into a good family......"

The expression on Mrs. Tai's face was cloudy, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "You go back first, remember to prepare a generous gift for Liyan...... As for the matter of Yuan'er and the third girl...... Let me think again. ”

Hearing this, Mother Tao, who was outside the curtain, hurriedly walked out of the house lightly, and casually stuffed a box of mutton fat to the maid guarding the door, and the two looked at each other and smiled silently.

Tao's mother waited in her house for a while, and when she didn't have a cup of tea, a little maid came to report, saying that her aunt and grandmother were going back, and Tao's mother hurried to the room, and sent Wen Wei's out of the house with everyone, and she went to the kitchen to explain a few things...... Looking at the sky, Tao's mother walked out of the Xi Garden slowly and walked towards the garden near the second room.

In the distance, I saw a woman wrapped in a light fur standing beside the rockery in a daze, Tao's mother's face couldn't help but rejoice, and she hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mother." Aunt Tao, the concubine in the second room, also found Mother Tao and called softly.

"Hey!" Tao's mother replied while carefully looking at her daughter's face.

Aunt Tao's face was a little pale, her complexion and demeanor were not very good, Mother Tao couldn't help but have a slightly dark eye, glanced at Aunt Tao's flat lower abdomen, and asked, "But the moon is here again?" ”

Aunt Tao nodded abruptly.

Although she was already prepared in her heart, Tao's mother's heart was still cold, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Aunt Tao since giving birth to the second Miss Wei Xian, has experienced a miscarriage of pregnancy, and has never been pregnant again, as a concubine, if there is no son by her side, what does it mean, everyone knows very well, these years, Tao's mother for Aunt Tao's belly, all kinds of prayers and Buddhas, ancient remedies have made a lot, Aunt Tao's menstrual affairs still come as scheduled every month.

"Mother, I'm afraid it's ......" Aunt Tao's face was a little sad, and the failures almost made her desperate, she wanted to say that she was afraid that she would not be able to have children.

"Nonsense!" Mother Tao interrupted Aunt Tao's words sharply, and said, "If you are young, if you say something frustrating, you can't give birth to a little master, what will you do in the future?" The second lady is about to get married, and when the time comes, you will be old and decrepit, how can you survive in the backyard of this deep house? ”

"But, but again and again, it doesn't work......" Aunt Tao's eyes were red, she was very aggrieved, for so many years, she had tried all methods, but she just couldn't conceive!

Tao's mother also knew that her daughter didn't want to get pregnant, but Aunt Tao's negativity still made her angry and ruthless, she said: "I know, you look at you now, you are half a master, the second lady is polite to you, and you have the second lady by your side, so you think that without a son, you will not be worse in the second half of your life, right?" ”

Aunt Tao didn't speak, but the look on her face showed that she had indeed made such a plan in her heart.

"You damn girl!" Mother Tao saw that Aunt Tao really thought like this, she was angry and anxious at the moment, she pinched Aunt Tao's arm hard, until Aunt Tao burst into tears, she let go, and said with hatred: "I am a smart person, but I didn't expect you to get older but you are getting more and more confused!" Why do you think you are so decent in the second room? Is the second master's favor? You don't know how often the second master goes to your room, right? ”

Aunt Tao's face changed, her face was shy and bitter, and she looked at Mother Tao in a daze, she had grown up well since she was a child, and she had long known that she was going to be the life of Aunt Fuli in the future......

Aunt Tao ignored Tao's mother's opposition back then, and insisted on being the second master's concubine, even if she didn't have a good life, she could only swallow the pain to her heart, and she reported good news and not bad news to Tao's mother, in fact, the second master didn't like to come to her room for a long time......

"Mother......" Aunt Tao looked at Mother Tao, trembled her lips and whispered, she had always pretended to be favored in front of Mother Tao, but she didn't expect that Mother Tao had already been clear about her situation, she couldn't say anything else, but tears fell down in big drops.

Thinking of her daughter's hardships for so many years, Tao's mother also had red eyes, but continued to say ruthlessly: "You think that you are in the second room, no one treats you harshly, and people respect you, why do you think?" Let me tell you, it's all because of me, because of your father, because of your brother, because of us, you can have the face you have in the second room! ”

Aunt Tao was stunned for a moment, and raised her head to refute.

"You don't have to believe it, the second lady gave you a little thin noodles, that's all because I have to use it in front of Mrs. Tai, the second master still remembers you occasionally, it's Aunt Zhang who is still thinking about the love between me and her and helping you, as well as your father and your brother...... If it weren't for us, where would you be able to live so comfortably in the second room! ”

Aunt Tao, who was injured and ruthless, said angrily: "What my mother means is that I am useless at all, and today's wealth is all due to the help of the family." ”

"Humph!" Mother Tao sneered and asked, "What do you think it is, is it that the second master is particularly affectionate and righteous to you?" Let's not talk about anything else, let me ask you, which of the few who received the house before and after you back then was worse than you? But where are they now? ”

Aunt Tao was stunned, none of the sisters back then, except for her, were gone, two died of illness, one was kicked out of the house, and the other was carried out bloodily......
