Chapter 51: Second Lady
Pei Liang on the side did not help his son, but watched the excitement with a smile on the side, looking at it, and some tears flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
It's been a long time since she's seen her son look so energetic, and before that, she couldn't believe that she could see him talk and laugh again after he lost his breath.
Bai Tang glanced at Yan Ru helplessly, and said with a slight warning, "Yan Ru, don't talk nonsense." ”
Yan Ru suddenly shut up, stuck out her tongue, and made a grimace at Mu Shaochen when she saw it.
She was indeed a little angry at first, but then she also understood that the other party should have said something unintentionally, and then when she saw him at a loss, she couldn't help but tease.
"The servant is stubborn, please don't blame the seventh son." Bai Tang smiled lightly at Mu Shaochen, who had finally eased up.
Mu Shaochen also understood that Yan Ru was deliberately teasing him, and he was a little funny at once, but he was not displeased, but said, "It's me who said carelessly, and it's me who should apologize." ”
"Okay, don't thank you and apologize, the decoction is almost cold, let's drink it first." Bai Tang smiled helplessly.
Mu Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up the soup cup again, but saw that his mother next to him was raising her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help frowning, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
The rest of the people immediately looked at it.
Pei Liang generously wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just happy, drink it." ”
There is a rare warmth and happiness in Chenxing Garden, but in some places it is not very harmonious.
"Can you be sure?" The second lady's eyes were heavy, and her hand on the armrest tightened.
The old slave also listened to Yun Hui's girl, she said that when she went to the internal affairs of the early dynasty, she overheard the two maids of Chen Xingyuan chatting, saying that the son finally woke up, his body was empty, and he had to make up for it. But it should have been explained by someone over there, and the tone was tight, and it was impossible to ask anything later, and the old slave also asked people to inquire later, but he didn't inquire about anything, but he heard that Grandpa Guo was in the morning today. ”
"How is it possible, how is it possible, he is already dead, why is he so lucky to live!" With a snap, the teacup was thrown to the ground.
The second lady stood up with an angry face, her eyes staring at the front, as if she was looking at someone, her eyes full of unwillingness and jealousy.
"Pei Liang's family, that slut, what is it, why is she, that old pious woman is also useless, she only knows how to take Qiao, and she is a blessing, but she can't even hold a concubine!"
"Madam, be cautious, be careful that the wall has ears." When the old slave next to him heard this, he hurriedly ran over to close the door, while reminding him in a low voice.
The second lady clutched her chest, gasped a few times, and sat back in the chair, with hatred in her eyes, "What am I afraid of?" If Mu Shaochen is really good and gets the attention of the grandfather of the country again, then what will happen to the second room in this mansion in the future? Why did he come back to life, why didn't he die! ”
"Madam, don't be angry, the situation is uncertain now, how can anyone know in the future, even if the seventh prince really gets better, to put it mildly, the five rooms can only rely on the grandfather of the country to live, but the grandfather of the country is old, and recently because of the matter of the seventh prince, I am afraid that there will not be many years, and the fifth room is currently valued only by the seventh son, Pei Liang's family is not even qualified to be crowned with the husband's surname, it is not a climate, as long as the lady grasps the old lady's heart, there will always be a chance."
Because of her words, the second lady's breath slowly eased, her eyebrows stretched slightly, thoughtfully, as if she listened to the other party's words.
But soon, her eyebrows were twisted again, her eyes showed a little ruthlessness, and her hand slapped heavily on the table, "No! I can't take it anymore! I don't want to see her smug face again! I just want her to be miserable. ”
The nails slammed at the tabletop, and the second lady only felt a heartache of hatred.
Her enmity with Pei Liang's family is not deep, but it is not shallow, or rather, it is a one-sided hatred.
The Rongguo Mansion is a high-ranking family, and the government and the opposition are favored, but in fact, it is supported by the Rongguo Gong.
As the saying goes, there are no more than three generations of wealth, but the Rongguo Mansion is almost unable to get over the second generation.
The boss is ignorant and afraid of the inside, just a soft bone who has no ability, and can only shrink in the house every day to make a threat to his subordinates.
The second lady spends all day drinking, looking for flowers and willows, and the number of times he returns to the house every day can be counted.
The third child is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and always wants to take over the management of the family's industry, but he has no ability, but the industry fails.
The fourth child has some business talent, but because he is a concubine, he is also among the old lady's suppression, and he will not receive much inheritance, and sometimes he will deliberately restrict his development, so that he also does not do much.
To say that the most promising, it is probably the fifth child, young Mu Ne, but then he seems to have opened his mind, a poetry meeting gave him the opportunity to enter the officialdom, and finally a little more like the eyes of the grandfather of the country, so that although the old lady can suppress him, but he does not dare to use means to cut off his official path.
When the second lady was about to discuss marriage, she was invited to participate in the tea party of the Duchess Rongguo.
At the tea party, she accidentally ran into Mu Wuye, who was discussing poetry and fu with her friends by the lake, and sent her out with confidence.
Unexpectedly, the other party was just a concubine, and she was indifferent to her overtures, and the arrogant Miss Yan married you Mu Erye in a fit of anger, wanting to use her power and seniority to suppress him and humiliate him.
But after marrying in, in comparison, he thought more and more about Mu Wuye's goodness, and often wanted to hook up, but was warned by the other party, and in a blink of an eye, the other party married Pei Liang.
On the one hand, she was lost face by the person she liked, and on the other hand, the person she liked was robbed by other women, every time she saw the tenderness of the husband and wife, and then compared her own situation, she hated and hated it became an obsession.
Mu Shaochen's accident before made her breathe, and she felt comfortable when she looked at Pei Liang's painful appearance every day, but now it is ......
"Aunt Lan, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you have accompanied me to suffer grievances without regrets when I married into the Rongguo Mansion, it can be said that there is no one in this world who values me more than you, you know me, if their family is not solved, I will never be happy, Aunt Lan, help me, help me again, Mu Shaochen will definitely not live!"
"This ......" Aunt Lan's lips trembled, her face was a little pale, but then she pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "The old slave understands, no matter what the lady wants to do, the old slave will not give up." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Lan, you are the only one who is good to me." The second lady lowered her eyes, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes flashed, as if she had been poisoned, "By the way, there is also that Bai Tang, find a way to destroy her, whoever makes me feel bad, I will let her live as well as die!" ”
"Yes, the old slave will satisfy the lady."
In Chenxing Yuan, the original talking and laughing Yan Yan became even more lively after the two fathers and sons, Rong Guogong and Mu Wuye, came back from the next dynasty.
After scolding a lot of people in the morning, Rong Guogong can be said to be in a very comfortable mood, laughing loudly, and seeing his grandson's energetic appearance, his mood is even better.
He specially told Bai Tang about the affairs of the court, and suggested that she take the opportunity to correct and consolidate her position.
Although it is an example of a woman being an official, if she can succeed, it will be a great honor, and if she really marries the Nine Emperor Princes in the future, this can also become her confidence.
But unexpectedly, Bai Tang refused.
"To tell you the truth, it's not my intention to be an official, I'm not here, if I have the opportunity, I'm afraid I'll have to bother the grandfather of the country to help me out, so that I can get out smoothly." These are the original words of Bai Tang.
