"Grandma, you're in trouble!!"

The afternoon sun leaked a mottled halo from the branches and leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard, and Song Lu's plain dress had a big red canna on the sideburns that did not match the outfit.

Although she has been filial piety to her husband, she is still within the filial piety period of her mother-in-law, and she is dressed in plain clothes.

The reason why there is a canna hairpin that does not match the whole body is because of ...... This canna was picked by her son Song Yiyao in the garden, and then ran to the back hall to give her a hairpin.

The young Song Yiyao was not able to understand the meaning of such a thing as keeping filial piety, and with the aesthetics of children's preference for bright and bright things, he felt that the blooming canna was very beautiful, so he was happy to give it to the person he was most attached to.

Zhang Cuiniang wanted to stop it when she saw this scene, after all, she knew the truth about Pang Zi's death, and she couldn't help but have a feeling of extra weakness for Song Lu's filial piety to this mother-in-law, so she didn't want Song Lu's hairpin to wear such a bright flower: "The slave maid went to get a crystal bottle, put this flower on, and asked the little boy to watch it with grandma, okay?" ”

But Song Lushi refused, and even took the initiative to bow his head, so that his son could tiptoe into the sideburns for himself, and there was a very complicated resentment and melancholy in her eyes: "My husband never gave me anything before his death, I remember when I first got married, I saw a portrait of Webster painted by him in the study, which was him holding peony flowers for Webster." In the spring of that year, the peonies in the garden bloomed very well, and I specially asked someone to cut a lot of them and put them in the room, just hoping that he would see them when he returned to the room, and he could also make a hairpin for me. ”

However, after Song Yuan returned to the room, when he saw those peony flowers, the muscles on his face twitched, not to mention the hairpin flowers for his stepwife, so he simply didn't stay, and went directly to the study with an excuse.

It wasn't until a few days later that the cut peony flowers withered and withered, and he returned to the room without joy or anger.

Song Lu immediately understood that Song Yuan had never forgotten Wei Mengying, so when he saw the peony flower in the room, he didn't think that this was his stepwife trying to win his tenderness, but he only thought of the person he wanted to forget but couldn't forget.

After that, Song Lu never did anything like it again - but she didn't have no regrets in her heart.

Looking at her son at this moment, she said, "Now that my husband is gone, I have no hope of fulfilling this wish in this life." Quan Dang Yao'er is to fulfill my dream on behalf of his father! ”

She said this, the Song family is now orphans and widows, rarely go out, and outsiders may not know such a trivial matter that is not suitable for filial piety, Zhang Cuiniang can't bear to force her to wear saffron.

It's just that Song Yiyao was tired of playing in front of his mother's lap for a while, and after he felt bored and ran out again, soon, a figure flashed outside the door, and suddenly broke into a mother-in-law who was born in his eyes - forty or fifty years old, his hair was meticulously curled into a neat bun, his eyebrows and eyes were flat, he was the kind of appearance that would be forgotten in the blink of an eye in the crowd, and he was a more decent slave and maid when he looked dressed, but Song Lu really couldn't remember when there was such a person in the house?

Before she could react to what this person was coming from, and why did she go on such a rampage to disturb herself, the other party first glanced at her coldly, and then unceremoniously accused, "Do you know that you will bring monstrous disasters to you, your children, and the entire Jiangnan Hall?!" ”

Song Lushi was stunned at first, then his face turned pale with anger, and he got up with "Teng" and slapped the table hard: "Presumptuous?!" Who allowed you to be so ownerless?! Roll down with me first and get ten rods for a long memory! ”

However, her crisp and stern cheers had clearly spread outside, and the dozen or so subordinates who were serving inside and out, except for a few people she was marrying, did not move!

The mother-in-law didn't look panicked, but sneered: "It doesn't matter if grandma is tired of living by herself!" Don't be tired of my Jiangnantang's inheritance cut off in your hands - you dare to say that the death of the old lady and Princess Wei was not done by you?! ”

These words made Song Lu, who was originally furious, shocked!

"Grandma don't panic!" The mother-in-law walked to the next chair and sat down, and then said without hurrying, "If the slave wants to harm you, go directly to the eldest lady to tell you, with the methods passed down by the eldest lady from Princess Wei and the city government, or you don't know what you did at all, and if you know, it's just a matter of raising your hands to kill - grandma said, yes or no?" ”

Song Lushi looked at her for a while, his fists were squeezed and loosened and pinched, and finally he gritted his teeth and ordered left and right: "Go down!" If you want your life, you should know how to shut up! ”

After the scene was cleared, the mother-in-law didn't need to be questioned by Song Lu's family, and said bluntly: "You are infatuated with the head of the house, after the head of the house goes, you can't stand such a blow, and if you want to do something to vent, we who are slaves and maids can also understand!" So after knowing that you imprisoned the old lady, you pretended not to know. But if you just make a little trouble for Princess Wei, you can forget it, and you really killed Princess Wei, and indirectly caused the premature death of the county lord of Anyang - are you crazy?! ”

"You're crazy, aren't you?!" Song Lu was still a little surprised, but when he heard the words at this moment, he almost died of anger!

Under the intense emotion, her voice trembled, "As a servant of the Song family, the head of the family died, and I don't think about avenging the Lord......"

"Grandma, you need to figure out something!" But Song Lu didn't interrupt before he finished speaking, and the woman said calmly, "The slave and maid are indeed here on behalf of the Song family's servants this time, but the responsibility of these servants from generation to generation is the inheritance of Jiangnan Hall, not other inconsequential things!" ”

Song Lu almost didn't pounce on her and fight with her: "Do you think it doesn't matter if you avenge the head of the family?!" ”

She couldn't believe her ears!

This is the servant of the Jiangnan Song Dynasty?!

Or is it the servant in charge of the inheritance of the Gongwei family?!

"How did the head of the family die, grandma must know very well!" The mother-in-law ignored her excited appearance, and only said in a calm and still tone, "Grandma touched her conscience and said something: if the head of the family remembers his responsibilities, what he thinks about all day long is not how to entangle with Princess Wei to the end, but how to revitalize the courtyard and spread the branches for the Song family...... As for the dishonorable death in Cuihua Mountain?! ”

The mother-in-law's eyes were indifferent, "The eldest lady is a mother, and the head of the family is already the age of being a grandfather, but she is still like a teenager in other people, making trouble for a woman, so much so that she put her own life into it!" If this kind of thing happens in a family full of heirs, it's okay! Anyway, who has more family members and can't have a few losers?! ”

"But what is the situation of the Song family? By the time the little boy arrives, it has been four generations of single transmission! ”

"The head of the family is dead like this, but it's a hundred!"

"Have you ever thought about the Song family and the future of Jiangnan Hall?!"

The mother-in-law sneered, "The slave and maid rely on the old man to sell the old and say: It's a shame that the old master is long gone!" Otherwise, if the old family master is here, and sees the family master's behavior, even if the family owner does not die in the hands of Princess Wei, he will inevitably be killed by the old family master himself! ”

Song Lushi was so angry that he trembled: "The Wei slut abandoned her husband, clinged to the clan in front, laughed at her husband behind, why shouldn't her husband kill her?!" ”

"That grandma murdered the eldest lady's grandmother and biological mother, if the eldest lady knows the truth and one day comes to seek revenge and wants to take grandma's life, does grandma also take it for granted?" The mother-in-law asked coldly, which made Song Lu subconsciously choke, and then retorted unconvinced: "What is there to be afraid of if I die?!" It's just that my children are still young......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Wei Mengying also had a son and two daughters under his knees who had not yet grown up, and suddenly stopped talking.

The mother-in-law stared at her and sneered: "That's it! The head of the family just wants a good wife and mother, and the slave and maid don't expect you to be a qualified lord and mother - so these are the rights and wrongs, and the slave and maid don't tell you more! Let's be serious with you directly: Do you think that the reason why Princess Wei left the Song Mansion and remarried to the Hengshan Mansion was really just because of the conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?! ”

No matter how naïve Song Lu was, she also noticed that the entire rhythm of the conversation was controlled by her mother-in-law, which made her feel very humiliated, and said angrily: "You are just a subordinate, what qualifications do you have to judge whether I am a qualified housewife of the Song family?!" ”

"With what you're doing, you're not going to qualify!" The mother-in-law said unceremoniously, "You murdered the old lady and Princess Wei - it may not be wrong, but you have no ability and no city government to design such a conspiracy, so you have to rely on Yuan Xuepei's help!" ”

"And what is the relationship between Yuan Xuepei and you?!"

"It's not a relative, but it's the same brother and sister as the eldest lady's aunt and grandpa Jane!"

"Such a person, you can rest assured that this secret related to the future and destiny of you and your children will be confessed to him!"

"How stupid do you say you are?!"

"Yuan Xuepei betrayed me?!" Song Lu was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't care about being angry with this woman, and said in a panic, "How is this possible?!" He has a share in these things! Even if he himself is not afraid of death, he is not a person who does not care, his sister ......"

"What is Yuan Xuepei?" The mother-in-law's disdainful tone interrupted her again, "If it's just the Marquis of Boling's mansion, do you think that the eldest lady, as the daughter of Jiangnan Hall, will stand by and watch when she is wronged at the hands of the Liu family and the old lady?!" ”

Song Lushi never expected her to say such a thing, and for a while, she was like falling into a five-fold cloud, and she didn't even know how to ask!

But the mother-in-law didn't give her time to be in a daze, and continued: "Although Princess Wei is beautiful and long-sleeved and good at dancing, she is not from a high background, and after marrying into the Song family, she has been childless and disgusted by the old lady. In this case, how dare she take the initiative to tick. The king of Heng Mountain? It is the prince of Hengshan who takes the initiative to hook. Lead her, does grandma think she dares to agree easily? ”

- Without the support of her mother's family, without the support of her mother-in-law, and with no heirs, she is deeply hated by her mother-in-law, in this case, Wei Mengying is too busy to deal with her mother-in-law's eggs, how dare she really do something out of the wall?

The mother-in-law said coldly, "So the outside world says that Princess Wei thinks that the old lady is too picky, and she covets the hereditary prince status of the prince of Hengshan, so she left her husband and remarried to the palace." In fact, it was Prince Hengshan who took advantage of Princess Wei's breathlessness when she was forced by the old lady to find a way to gain Princess Wei's trust, and Princess Wei decided to reconcile with the head of the family! ”

Song Lu's mind was in chaos, and he muttered, "Do you mean, does Prince Hengshan really love Princess Wei?" But who doesn't know about this matter in the imperial capital? ”

After all, the identity of King Hengshan, even if it is a continuation of the string, what kind of beauty can't be found? Why do you have to find a woman who has been married and has had a daughter?

"Grandma is really not ordinary naïve!" The mother-in-law laughed gloomily, "If the prince of Hengshan really loves Princess Wei so much, Princess Wei will still fight with the princess of Hengshan for so many years in order to make her own son the prince?!" ”

Seeing Song Lu's sluggish expression, the mother-in-law snorted, "It seems that when the head of the family was alive, he never told you about the six ancestors in the sea?" ”

It's good that she doesn't mention this, but when she mentions this, Song Lu is really unspeakably sad: she was only sixteen years old when she married Song Yuan, and before she got married, she only looked at Song Yuan from a distance under the arrangement of her parents.

Song Lu fell in love with him almost at first sight.

The Lu family was not very satisfied with this marriage.

After all, the main Song Yuan has been married twice, even if Wei Mengying remarried and took away the only blood and blood of the two Song Yixiao, the Liu family was ruined and failed to leave children, after Song Lu's marriage, except for the loss of reputation, the rest of the treatment is actually the same as that of a wife - however, the Lu family feels that Song Yuan has not been able to grow old twice, which is really not a good sign.

Huang privately once doubted whether Song Yuan was a wife?

At first, Song Lu naturally listened to her parents, but after seeing Song Yuan with her own eyes, she began to change her attitude, and tried her best to persuade her parents to agree-her parents agreed - her parents loved her very much, so they hesitated again and again, but in the end, it was only her daughter's wishes, and besides, she also gave Gu Shao face, and finally agreed to this family business.

It's just that what Song Lu didn't expect was that after she married into the Song family with joy, although Song Yuan was indeed as elegant, polite, and melancholy as she imagined, she always kept a certain distance from her, or rather, estranged.

He never spoke to her much other than necessary communication.

For the past, family, messengers, official duties, relatives...... These topics that ordinary couples will discuss very casually are never mentioned.

Song Lu was embarrassed to ask at first out of the shyness of the newlywed; Later, I heard the hints from the people below that Song Yuan never liked to talk much, and she was afraid that her husband would hate nagging people, so she didn't dare to ask.

It wasn't until she gave birth to Song Yibao that she accidentally learned that Song Yuan had indeed not been a talkative person, except in front of Wei Mengying.

When the hostess of this family was still surnamed Wei, Song Yuan was elegant and elegant, courteous and courteous, but there was never a lack of warmth and love words - and these, including the treatment of hairpins, Song Lu did not have it.

She is not unaggrieved.

She is just used to being tame, and she can't be like Wei Mengying, thinking about leaving Song Yuan and remarrying someone else.

So she could only endure.

Now that the mother-in-law mentioned the ancestor of the six valves in the sea, Song Lu was both surprised and sad: "What do you want to say, just say it!" Anyway, you rushed in with such a full grasp today to fight against the servant, after all, isn't it just that I don't know anything about your Jiangnan Hall? ”

The mother-in-law didn't pay attention to the grief and self-deprecation in her words, only smiled lightly, and said: "To put it simply, when His Majesty Emperor Taizu was competing for the world, he pitted Xiliang Shendong Hu Liu, but because these two families have a deep heritage and huge power, even His Majesty Emperor Taizu did not dare to rush to kill them, so they could only force them to guard the tomb for three generations." ”

"Later, His Majesty Emperor Taizu died, Emperor Huizong took the throne, and in order to retaliate, the Shen and Liu families planted two chess pieces, Shentu Guifei and Mrs. Zhenyuan, trying to start from the harem and usurp the Great Rui River!"

"At that time, because of the heir, Jinxiu Duanmu naturally would not participate in this battle."

"But the remaining three: Fengzhou Wei, Qingzhou Su and my Jiangnan Song, it is impossible to sit back and watch the success of the Shen and Liu families!"

"So the Su family chose Xianjiaye; The Wei family continued to wait and see the situation while giving the Su family a hand; As for my Jiangnan Song clan ......"

The mother-in-law's face showed a clear sadness, "If it weren't for the old family master who went early, now in this court, my Song family should be a family with power leaning towards the government and the opposition!" ”

She briefly explained the treacherous scene when Emperor Huizong was in power, and regardless of Song Lu's eyes when she heard it, she continued, "It's a pity that the old family master went early, and the family master has been cultivated by the old family master for many years, but he is limited to the love of children and daughters, and it is difficult to become a big thing!" After the old family master knew that he was gone, whether it was the royal family, the Su family, or even other prominent families, they would not let go of this great opportunity to hit hard, carve up, and even destroy Jiangnan Hall! ”

"Therefore, the old master Tete left the slaves and maids, not asking for anything else, only for the critical moment, to be able to protect the bloodline of Jiangnan Hall, and to prevent the Song family from being like the Duanmu clan, and cutting off the heirs......"

When the mother-in-law said this, she looked at Song Lu sarcastically, "The slave has said this, does grandma understand?" ”

"Webster's slut remarried to Hengshan Wangfu, is it ...... It's the royal family, in order to destroy the design of Jiangnan Hall?! Song Lu's whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he could barely breathe!

She always thought that Wei Mengying's remarriage was because of the conflict with the Pang family, and also because of her own greed for wealth and wealth, but where could she have imagined that she would have something to do with the royal family and the Su family? !

"Even when the eldest lady was in the Song family, she was treated badly, why didn't those people deliberately do it in order to force out the old master's backhand?" The mother-in-law said lightly, "Otherwise, it only depends on how Su Jiawei's family raises girls, if it weren't for these hidden secrets, grandma thinks that even if the old family owner is gone, the head of the family is a fool, and the eldest lady, the eldest daughter, will suffer so many grievances in her own family?!" Is it true that the ancestors of the Song family are all eating dry rice?! ”

——From the Song family's ancestors' stipulation that the secret guard token can only be used by the head of the family after tying his hair, and before that, the person who keeps it must also be the Song family's bloodline, not the biological mother of the family owner, it can be seen that the Song family's ancestors have an attitude towards their descendants: their own bloodline, whether male or female, is more important than the daughter-in-law who marries outside!

So if it weren't for Song Ying's failure back then, and an unreliable heir like Song Yuan, even if Pang was patriarchal, even if Song Yuan didn't care about the life or death of the eldest daughter at all, and with the old man left by Song Ying, Song Yixiao would definitely not be reduced to the point of being abused.

At least, the daughters of the Song family should have, whether it is dowry, teaching, serving manpower, four seasons, and opportunities to go out to socialize...... She'll have them all.

Under the inheritance that has been perfected for many generations, Mrs. Pang and others who are daughters-in-law can't resist these loyal and intertwined servants.

In the final analysis, the tragedy of Song Yixiao's two lives was caused by the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty in the intrigue of the six valves and the royal family.

"You mean, all the movements in this mansion are within the grasp of the royal family and those people in the Su family?!" Song Lu finally came to his senses, only to feel that his eyes were black!

Just now, this mother-in-law rushed in, and only then did she mention the death of Pang and Wei Mengying, and Song Lu was so frightened that she talked to her specifically, if even the royal family and the Su family knew this inside story, Song Lu couldn't imagine the ending of his mother and son!

No matter how naïve she is, she will not feel that the royal family has not made any trouble to herself so far, but she does not plan to pursue it - according to the words of this mother-in-law, Song Ying has a key credit for Emperor Xianjia to break away from the Su family's jurisdiction, but from these years, Emperor Xianjia's care for Song Yuan and the Song family is not as good as Gu Shao's heart, it can be seen that the emperor is ruthless!

The reason why the royal family has been pretending to be deaf and dumb until now is obviously intending to keep this bargaining chip and wait for a better opportunity to destroy the Song family!

After all, even if the Song family only has orphans and widows left, there is still an old Gu Shao after all-Emperor Duanhua, who has just ascended the throne, will not easily offend Gu Shao, so of course he needs a better opportunity to completely kill Jiang Nantang!

Song Lu's family finally came to his senses, and the mother-in-law said that she had caused a big disaster when she entered the door, which was not alarmist at all, it was all a fact!

She held the case and pinched her palm hard, barely keeping her consciousness, only choked up and asked, "Why didn't you tell me such an important matter earlier?!" ”

If Song Lu wants to avenge her husband, it is impossible to ignore her children - especially the four generations of the Song family, after Song Yuan's death, if Song Yiyao also has three long and two short, what face does Song Lu have to see her husband when he goes underground? ! What kind of face do you have to meet the ancestors of the Song family?!

"Such an urgent matter, if it weren't for the fact that grandma had caused a big disaster this time, and told you, would you have to worry about it more than letting a young woman support the door?" The mother-in-law's face was also a little gloomy, and she said lightly, "Ignorance is a blessing, grandma!" What's more, before you do these things, have you ever thought about discussing it with us old people? You can do the whole thing with your own dowry! ”

Song Lu's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he had no intention of arguing with her, so he only said in a loud voice: "Since you came to the door to talk about this matter, there must be a way to protect my child, right?!" Didn't you say that the old master left you people for the inheritance of Jiangnan Hall?! ”

"In that case, you will definitely protect Bao'er and them, at least Yao'er, right?!"

Song Lu is going crazy at the moment!!

What could be more cruel than knowing that you have pushed all your own flesh and blood into a desperate situation?!

If it weren't for the fact that her legs would be so weak that she couldn't stand up, she would even pounce on her mother-in-law's sleeve and beg bitterly!
