Chapter 170: The Dust Settles
This matter changed a little suddenly, until the Zheng and Cen families 'handed over' the Geng post, and Cen Wuniang married to the Pingguo Mansion became a sure thing, Gu Zheng learned one after another the reason for the sudden change in things——— it turned out that the Zhao family's concubine in the palace had just given birth to a little prince for the emperor not long ago, and she was promoted to Concubine Li by virtue of her mother's daughter, and this time was in the limelight and quite powerful.
As soon as Concubine Li gained power, she quickly found an opportunity to ask for this 'door' family affair in front of the emperor for Cen Wuniang, and the emperor's new dragon son was in a good mood, plus Zheng and Cen were also considered to be the 'door' pairs, so they sold Concubine Li's face on the spot, and readily agreed to marry Cen Wuniang and Pingguo Gong.
With the support of the emperor's holy decree, Cen Wuniang snatched Cen Sanniang's family affairs as she wished, but she was not satisfied with this, but continued to design Cen Sanniang ruthlessly, wanting to trample Cen Sanniang under her feet for the rest of her life: "Mother, since my family affairs have been decided, there is nothing to do, why don't we push Sanniang again and help her find a good home......"
Aunt Zhao originally thought that Cen Wuniang would stop after achieving her goal, but she didn't expect that she still wanted to continue to step Cen Sanniang to the end, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised for a while: "Auntie, what do you want to do?" ”
Cen Wuniang lazily played with the pearl bracelet on her wrist, and said unhurriedly: "I am not a person with a narrow heart and a narrow heart, and I can't tolerate concubines——— since Sanniang is already my fiancé's person, I want her to enter the 'door' of the Zheng family with me, and let her serve the grandfather of the country with me in the future." ”
Knowing the 'female' Mo Ruomu, Aunt Zhao quickly understood what Cen Wuniang meant: "Do you want the third girl to be a concubine for Grandpa Guo, and serve you, the lady of the main room, every day in the future?" ”
"That's right," Cen Wuniang nodded proudly, and instructed the maid Dongxue in a vicious tone: "It's not difficult to 'expose' the innocence of the three girls in our family who were ruined by Grandpa Guo, can you handle it?" ”
Dongxue immediately understood: "The slave and maid understand what the girl means, and the slave and maid will do it." ”
After Dong Xue finished speaking, she retreated respectfully, deliberately 'exposed' this matter that was pressed to death by Mrs. Luo to a few mothers-in-law who loved to chew the root of her tongue on weekdays, and then found someone to go outside for a turn, half-truths and half-truths, painting and painting 'color' to spread Cen Sanniang's innocence, and soon made Cen Sanniang's matter known all over the city......
In this way, there are gradually a lot of rumors that are unfavorable to Cen Sanniang outside, although none of the people who talk about Cen Sanniang dare to categorically say that there is really such a thing, but those gossips that are making a lot of noise will more or less affect Cen Sanniang's reputation, so that Mrs. Luo will soon lose a lot——— under the push of Cen Wuniang and Aunt Zhao, those rumors that are not conducive to Cen Sanniang are more and more, and Cen Sanniang is desperate and dare not go out to meet people!
Mrs. Luo knew that for the sake of today's plan, only by quickly marrying Cen Sanniang to her father-in-law who had an affair with her could these rumors be suppressed...... But even if Mrs. Luo is willing to take a step back, Cen Sanniang may not be willing to be a concubine!
But now, Mrs. Luo really can't think of a better way......
Mrs. Luo tossed and turned for a few days, and finally could only persuade Cen Sanniang helplessly: "Ayuan, or you can marry Grandpa Guo as a concubine!" Marrying into the Zheng family as you, needless to say, it must be a noble concubine, and the Zheng family will not dare to treat you harshly for the sake of our Cen family! And after you get married, as long as you give birth to a son as soon as possible, then you can be regarded as having a ...... to rely on in this life."
Cen Sanniang looked at Mrs. Luo with tears in her eyes, her face was full of humiliation: "Mother, do you want me to stoop to Wuniang's girl for the rest of my life, like Aunt Zhao who serves you and 'serves' her for the rest of my life?" I don't want it! I'd rather be a sister-in-law with my hair twisted than a concubine! ”
Cen Sanniang's words made Mrs. Luo's tears fall: "Silly child, my mother doesn't want you to succumb to Wu Niang's girl!" But now, it's your only way out! Behave, you listen to your mother's words and be wronged for the time being, as long as you give birth to a son, everything will be fine! Besides, although you are a concubine, you will still have the Cen family, your mother's family, to support you! If Wu Niang wants her mother's family to help her support her in the future, she won't dare to treat you harshly as a noble concubine! ”
Cen Sanniang didn't say a word when she heard this, she only shed tears desperately......
Mrs. Luo was also unbearable in her heart, but she could only continue to persuade Cen Sanniang ruthlessly: "Ayuan, listen to my mother!" As long as you marry and can grasp the heart of Grandpa Guo one step ahead of Wu Niang and become Grandpa Guo's favorite 'woman', then you don't have to put Wu Niang in your eyes, and even as long as Grandpa Guo loves you and supports you, Wu Niang has to rush to slap you! Mother won't hurt your ......"
Mrs. Luo coaxed and persuaded her, and finally let Cen Sanniang slowly stop her tears, but Cen Sanniang did not give a positive answer, only looked at Mrs. Luo in a daze, and asked word by word: "Mother, the reason why I have been harmed to this point is because of Zhu'er, is it right?" ”
As soon as she mentioned the traitor Zhu'er, Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth with hatred: "It's that who hurt you!" If she hadn't been bought by Aunt Zhao's mother and 'daughter', first instigated you with clever words and 'lust', and then betrayed you ruthlessly and unjustly, you wouldn't have fallen into the trap they set up in advance! ”
"Ayuan, eat a trench and grow wise, after experiencing this incident, you must pay more attention to everything in the future, don't know people and be led by the nose! You've been hurting yourself all your life, and you can't take half a wrong step in the future! ”
At this point, Cen Sanniang still couldn't understand why Zhu'er betrayed her: "Mother, I'm not thin on Zhu'er, why did she betray me?" ”
"Silly boy, some people in this world are born with greed and ambition, as long as others grasp this and give them the benefits they want, they can make them treacherous and betray their masters!"
Mrs. Luo said with a look of pity 'touching' Cen Sanniang's head, and said seriously: "Some people are not good to them, they will be loyal to you from the beginning, you must learn how to recognize people and beware of people, you can't be good to you, you will completely open your heart to accept them, casually treat them as people who can be trusted, you must repeatedly test and test ......"
This time, Cen Sanniang was no longer as impatient as before, but seemed to understand every word that Mrs. Luo said in her heart, and secretly swore that from now on, she will never trust others easily, nor will she easily 'pay' her sincerity and true feelings to others———, she can't be stupid and stupid, wrong and wrong!
…………
Let's not talk about Cen Sanniang's growth and insights after experiencing these things, but she said that Mrs. Luo, who calculates every day to marry her 'daughter' to a big family, can only send Cen Sanniang to the Zheng family as a concubine in tears. And Cen Sanniang and Cen Siniang's two 'daughters' had an accident before and after, which can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to Mrs. Luo, so that she was so sick that she couldn't afford to be bedridden after arranging Cen Sanniang's relatives......
Also sick with Mrs. Luo was Mrs. Tai——— her own girl marrying someone as a concubine, which was very humiliating for a family like the Cen family, and hit Mrs. Tai into depression and illness.
In addition, Mrs. Tai had always had a knot in her heart, and she felt very ashamed of Gu Zheng's ——— Pingguo Mansion, and the 'door' family matter was originally intended to be given to Gu Zheng, but in the end she broke her promise.
It is precisely because of these two things added together that Mrs. Tai's heart became more and more uncomfortable day by day, and finally she suddenly became ill......
Gu Zheng knew more or less about Mrs. Tai's heart knot, so when she came to accompany Mrs. Tai on this day, she comforted Mrs. Tai in turn: "Grandmother, in fact, I have never wanted to marry into the Pingguo Mansion——— it is not easy to be a stepmother to others, and if I don't make trouble, I will not please both sides!" I don't want to make such trouble for myself, but now that this 'door' family affair has not fallen on me, I feel relieved......"
Gu Zheng shook Mrs. Tai's hand with a smile as he spoke, and said: "So grandmother, you must take care of your body quickly, so that you can have the 'fine' strength to find a 'door' for me to have a good family——— I am still waiting for my grandmother to choose a husband who is a hundred times better than Pingguo Gong for me!" If my grandmother doesn't get better soon, I won't be able to get married! ”
