Jian Shiyun's face was flushed by Mrs. Jian's words, and she snorted: "Sister-in-law...... Hou Ye said that entering the palace is better than marrying outside, and it can help the family...... If we can give birth to a prince for the saint, our Chen family is also ......" The original words of Marquis Changxing were "relatives", but Jian Shiyun was really embarrassed and felt that he couldn't say it. She is not an ignorant village woman, so she naturally knows that even if her daughter becomes a concubine and gives birth to a prince, their Chen family is not qualified to be called a "foreign relative".

The word "relative" is exclusively for the queen's mother's family, just like the concubine's maiden family is not a serious relative, and the concubine's maiden family calls herself a "relative" is arrogance. However, it is difficult to say about the affairs in the palace, and it is not unheard of for the favored concubines to kill the queen. The lessons from the past are not far away, such as Pang Guifei of the Longqing Dynasty, although she did not become a queen, she also became a queen mother. Of course, the fate of Pang Guifei and the Pang family is also obvious to all, and no one who is not long-sighted dares to compare himself with "Pang Guifei".

Old Madam Jane sighed. Jian Shiyun, who was raised delicately, married the sister-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo to the Marquis of Changxing in Longxi, and put on a ten-mile red makeup in the capital, extending all the way from the Zhenguo Mansion to the dock of Qingjiang Mansion. The ten ships of the Chen family of the Marquis of Changxing came to marry, and from the dowry to the dowry, it took three days and three nights. Before the Zhenguo Mansion was taken away, the grand wedding made every Daqi noblewoman who had ever seen it yearn for it.

Who would have thought that Jian Shiyun, who was married in a beautiful way, would fall to such a point today?

It can be seen that people still live their own lives. The mother's family is powerful, but she can't compare to her own efforts. Only what you have worked hard to gain will not be lost so easily.

Old Madam Jian saw Jian Shiyun's appearance, remembered everything she had when she was in Jian's house, and smiled slightly. - In the past, let it pass.

"Shi Yun, Yi Lan's things to be chosen, let it go first. The queen mother in the Hengzhi Palace has recently contracted a disease and cannot be a director, and the draft will be postponed for a while. You and Yilan will wait at home for the time being, and when Feiyang comes back, we'll discuss, okay? Old Madam Jian asked with a smile.

Jian Shiyun nodded heavily: "I listen to my sister-in-law." - These days, I will trouble my sister-in-law. ”

Old Madam Jian got up with a smile: "It's not troublesome." It's all one family, don't talk about two families. He called someone in again and ordered: "Move the aunt's *** luggage to the Wutong Pavilion." "Wutong Pavilion is the courtyard where Jian Shiyun lived at home, and after she got married, this courtyard has been empty, and no one lives in it.

Jian Shiyun didn't expect to be able to live back in her original yard, her eyes turned red again, and she said, "Sister-in-law, I have no regrets in my life if I can go back to my yard for a few more days." ”

Old Madam Jian smiled and patted her hand and personally took her to the Wutong Pavilion.

Jian Shiyun saw that everything in this room was as usual, just like she was still embroidering and practicing calligraphy under the window yesterday, and her gratitude to her sister-in-law was another layer.

Old Madam Jian watched her subordinates move Jian Shiyun and Chen Yilan's luggage in, and they were only three green cloth burdens, not even a suitcase. The maids who came with them, the two older maids, had some bewitching air on their faces. The four younger maids, only six or seven years old, were full of ignorance. The last two mothers-in-law were full of shrewdness and meanness, and as soon as they entered Jian Shiyun's room, their four eyes were shining, constantly peeking around.

When Mrs. Jian saw her own things being looked at like this, she suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if she had been stripped of her heart, and asked Jian Shiyun: "I remember that your eldest brother gave you four big maids, four little maids, and eight rooms. Where have all the people gone? "These people who came with them don't look like the subordinates of the Jian family back then.

Hearing Mrs. Uncle's question, the two mothers-in-law who were looking around with their eyes shining hurriedly withdrew their eyes, came up and curtsied half-salute, and said with a smile: "Dare to let Mrs. Uncle know that we are from the Marquis of Changxing, and now Mrs. Xie has assigned Mrs. Xie to Mrs. and the second girl." ”

Mrs. Xie? - A concubine dares to call "Madame"?!

Besides, when the master speaks, how can the slave and maid come up and interrupt?

As soon as Mrs. Jian saw the appearance of these two mothers-in-law, she knew that they didn't take Jian Shiyun in their eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of Jian Shiyun's silent face, Old Madam Jian was disdainful and angry in her heart, pointing at her maid and scolding: "What are you all eating?" - Whoever does not do anything clean also puts it in the house! Drag me out, thirty boards per person, and first subdue these minions who don't have a master in their eyes before talking! ”

The maid who came with Jian Shiyun was shocked, and looked at Mrs. Jian in disbelief. - How can this woman say that she will turn her face when she turns her face, and she is not afraid of hitting her sister-in-law in the face?

Jian Shiyun sat on the brocade circle chair in front of the window of her room, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, staring out of the window without saying a word.

"Madam, Madam, Mrs. Xie asked us to follow Madame, but we can explain it clearly. If the lady doesn't remember, can you ask the slave to remind you again? "There was a mother-in-law who couldn't help but speak. This Jian Shiyun said that it was Mrs. Hou, but in the Changxing Hou Mansion, didn't she want to look at their Mrs. Xie's face to live? What if she returned to her parents' house, Mrs. Xie told her that she had to give her a few colors at her mother's house to see the depth of Jian Shiyun's mother's house......

These people are all from the noble concubine Xie family, and they have received special instructions, so naturally they don't take Mrs. Jian Shiyun in their eyes. The Xie family has been in charge of the inner courtyard of the Changxing Marquis Mansion for ten years, and the foundation has long been unshakable. Jian Shiyun returned to the mansion from Zhuangzi, but he had the name of his wife and did not have the real power of his wife. If it weren't for her daughter to be elected to Beijing, she would not be able to move an inch in the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

If the Zhenguo Mansion is just an empty shelf, Jian Shiyun will be the meat on the Xie family's chopping board. As for Chen Yilan's pending election, Xie didn't pay attention to it at all. If Chen Yilan enters the palace, she can't get rid of the help of the Marquis of Changxing. He presided over the middle feed of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and Chen Yilan would only stutter himself more when the time came. As for her mother-in-law, who has the name of the daughter of a family, except for a mother-in-law who doesn't know the depth for the time being, the rest are not her opponents at all.

Jian Shiyun returned to the Changxing Marquis Mansion from Zhuangzi for less than a year, and of course he was not the opponent of the Xie family. But Jian Shiyun was able to survive the days of a peasant woman in Zhuangzi for ten years, and her heart was no longer comparable to Xie's. This time, he took the opportunity to go back to his parents' house, and the Xie family still wanted to control Jian Shiyun, but he dreamed during the day and saw the wrong person!

"Drag it out! Gagged me and hit me hard! Old Madam Jian saw Jian Shiyun lowering her eyes, without saying a word, knowing that she was acquiescing, so she screamed, called her own subordinates to come in, and gagged all the maids and women brought by Jian Shiyun and dragged them out.

When everyone in the house was gone, Jian Shiyun raised her head, looked at Mrs. Jian with tears on her face, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are much more powerful than back then...... I've always been worried that my sister-in-law will persuade me to endure it...... But I can't take it anymore......" cried with tears streaming down my face.

Old Madam Jian's heart moved, and she hurriedly walked over and sat on the makeup pestle next to Jian Shiyun, took her shoulders and comforted: "You also know that our Jian family returned to the countryside after being deprived of the title and demoted. Your eldest brother is no longer here, I am a woman's family, with three children, if I can't kill and punish more decisively, how can I live to this day? - Do you think I don't want to be the same as before, so kind that I can't even step on an ant to death?! The situation is stronger than people, I have to be like this......"

Jian Shiyun nodded. How could she not be like that herself? That innocent and lively, ignorant Jian Shiyun had already died in the farm in the mountains of the Marquis of Changxing. The current Jian Shiyun has long been unrecognizable.

"Sister-in-law, none of the children born in our Jian family back then are now gone?" Speaking of the next person, Jian Shiyun was also a little curious. She's been back for so long, and she hasn't even seen a familiar person.

Old Madam Jian moved unnaturally on the pestle, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking again?" Our Jane family has taken the title, and those descendants have long been sold to other families, where is there any family in our family that has children? - Now these are all bought after we return to Beijing. ”

Jian Shiyun sighed: "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you. ”

Old Madam Jian hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Our sister-in-law hasn't seen her for so many years, don't say these frustrating words." - What are you going to do with the people you brought? ”

Jian Shiyun thought for a while and said, "Let my sister-in-law deal with it." Just don't push them too hard, or hurt people's lives. ”

Old Madam Jian got up and said with a smile: "Don't say that sister-in-law doesn't give you face, according to my temperament, these subordinates with ghosts in their hearts should have been killed directly with one hand." - You have not changed this, as before, you are offended very much, and you will not take people's lives. ”

Jian Shiyun glanced at Old Madam Jian in surprise and said, "Sister-in-law, this is still what you always persuaded me. It is said that there are gods three feet above the head, and the lives of the subordinates are also their lives, if they make a mistake, they can be sent to the official to be sold, and they must not get blood on their hands. - Over the years, I have been doing what my sister-in-law tells me, and no matter how hard I was forced, I never took anyone's life. He turned his head to look out the window again, as if reminiscing about the past: "Sister-in-law is right." To be a man must have a bottom line, and he can indeed accumulate blessings for himself. If it weren't for the fact that when I was the mother of the house, I refused to kill the lives of my subordinates, and was later driven to Zhuangzi, and there would not have been so many kind-hearted subordinates who came to take care of me, so that I could live until the day when our Jian family came out! ”

Old Madam Jian listened to Jian Shiyun's words, stood at the door in a daze, and became strangely silent.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Jian Shiyun was a little strange when she saw Old Madam Jian motionless. - But what did you say wrong?

Old Madam Jian came back to her senses and was about to speak, when the mother-in-law who was playing the board outside came over and said, "Old lady, aunt, the board is finished." ”

Old Madam Jian glanced back at Jian Shiyun and asked, "How?" Do you want me to help you deal with it? ”

Jian Shiyun was thinking wildly, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law help me deal with it." - Just don't hurt people's lives. ”

Old Madam Jian sighed and instructed the mother-in-law: "Find two people to give them medicine, and when the injuries are half healed, they will be sent back to the Changxing Marquis Mansion in Longxi." ——Send another clever steward to speak directly to the Marquis of Changxing. Let's just say that I said it, since the Changxing Marquis Mansion is now the head of the concubine family, our Zhenguo Mansion really can't afford to lose this person, and we dare not call the Changxing Marquis Mansion an in-law anymore. The eldest aunt and the second girl lived in our house. When did the Marquis of Changxing dispose of that concubine, and when will you come to talk to us again! ”
