Chapter 685: After Concealing It, Stand Aside for the Time Being
Senator Chen went to the Daimyo's Mansion for official business in the past two days, and got a family letter there to get out of the chaos, and rushed back to deal with the affairs in a hurry, and the people were still in the outer city, so he met a commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and congratulated him with his fists, saying that Ling Lang "Good things are near", Senator Chen smiled bitterly, couldn't explain clearly, and rushed back the more he hurried back, when he got home, he saw Mrs. Chen and Wulang in the main room and his wife were anxious.
"What the hell is going on! I clearly warned you not to be brutal. Senator Chen was angry and angry, and he said straight to Mrs. Chen.
Seeing that the pillar came back, Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and was bombarded by these words, and immediately turned red again, and dragged the silk handkerchief tightly and said: "How can the concubine be so confused, I know that it is not a good thing, not to mention that it is really a scoundrel to forcibly detain other people's Gengti, this is to coerce, and I don't dare to rush the eldest princess." ”
Senator Chen took a deep breath, and also understood that he was wrong to blame his wife, although she was strong, but she has never been a person who advocates herself, because she was really concerned about the "good fate" that fell from the sky, it was already the limit to let the Queen Mother and the Huang family act, and after knowing that the eldest princess bluntly objected, she had to warn that she would not do such a foolish thing.
"That Geng post was handed over to you by Mrs. Tai, you have no doubt about it, how could it be gone?" Senator Chen asked again.
Mrs. Chen sat down dejectedly: "Such an important thing, I am naturally cautious, and I locked it in the wall cabinet in the inner room with the Xifeng brocade box, and the key has been kept by the painting fan, and there has been no mistake for many years, who knows...... That Japan got the reply of the Weiguo Mansion, went to visit, got up early in the morning and the concubine began to take care of going out, Mrs. Tai's head suddenly went wrong, and the concubine had to tell Goro's daughter-in-law to stare at this side, and rushed to Mrs. Tai's courtyard, for fear of missing the time. "The painting fan is the daughter of Mrs. Chen's companion, and she has always been heavy, managing Mrs. Chen's important things, such as jewelry, dowry boxes, and so on.
An Hui also continued: "Father Weng doesn't blame his mother-in-law, it must be the fault of painting the fan, and I don't know which one was bought...... The daughter-in-law stared at her and opened the lock, took out the brocade box from the cabinet, the daughter-in-law opened it because of caution, and saw that it was empty, there was nothing, the painting fan was still pretending to rummage in the cabinet for a while, the daughter-in-law knew that it was not good, and immediately asked the maid to inform the mother-in-law, and then the painting fan was forced to ask in a hurry, and even bit the daughter-in-law's private collection, in order to make her die, the daughter-in-law asked her mother-in-law to search, and the painting fan could not be forcefully argued. ”
Mrs. Chen wiped her tears, and really felt depressed: "The fan is still being detained by me, she is innocent and innocent, I let people look at her and don't want to die, waiting for the uncle to come back and deal with it." Mrs. Chen really couldn't believe that the loyal maid was a thief, so the fact was in front of her, and it seemed that this was the only possibility: "I really don't understand, Su Liuniang's Geng post is lost, and she is bound to go to the Weiguo Mansion to commit crimes, as soon as this is said, if someone takes the Geng post to threaten in the future, isn't it that there is no silver here and thinks that he is a thief, even if the lawsuit hits the royal Chen family and can't take advantage of it, how can he coerce the Weiguo Mansion, I don't know who did this kind of dirty thing." ”
It seems that Mrs. Chen also understands who is the cause of this incident, even if the painting fan is bought, it will not be able to escape her own people.
Gorou shook his head again and again on the side: "The son accompanied his mother to the Weiguo Mansion that day to confess his crimes, although the father and son of Weiguo Gong did not look good, but they did not hold them accountable on the spot, after all, they wanted us to give an explanation, who knew that there would be rumors breeding immediately after, and the trouble would be unbearable, but even so, as long as the eldest princess invited the Empress Dowager, she could curb the rumors, and there was no reason to force the marriage......
Senator Chen sighed: "No one will come forward to threaten the Geng post at all, this is to make the eldest princess suspect that we are forcibly holding the Liuniang Geng post and not handing it over, otherwise how can there be rumors?" If it is said that there is no root, it is okay, but it can be traced back to the daughter of the Qin Tianjian Zhang Zheng family, and the world is not afraid that it is made up, so that everyone knows that the palace will give marriage, and who else dares to ask to marry the sixth mother of the Su family? ”
"But if the Empress Dowager comes forward...... The eldest princess can also be pushed to the Duchess of the country, maybe she will be discussed, but it is only for a while, I really don't know why these people don't give up. Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she didn't notice her daughter-in-law An Hui's increasingly pale face, especially when Wulang said categorically: "This is to force our Changfang to make a feud with the Weiguo Mansion." ”
"The eldest princess shouldn't be gullible, let's just plan for Liulang, and what we are looking forward to is also a good marriage with the Su family......" Mrs. Chen said this, but she couldn't be sure of it, and the second half of the sentence gradually became a snort.
Senator Chen frowned, and slapped the case a few times: "This matter is not for us, but for the Empress Dowager, we dare not be bold, but if the Empress Dowager intends to help ......"
- "It's the Empress Dowager, and her intention is still to instigate the Ci'an Palace and the Guogong Mansion to turn against each other." ”
At the same time, Yu Feng also made a categorical judgment.
Since the third day of returning to Beijing, after an open and honest conversation with Yichen, Yu Feng has completely ended the quiet days of "leisure", these days he has been going out early and returning late, frequently convening subordinate officials and staff to deliberate, and on the other hand, he has to bother to choose Mr. Enlightenment for Brother Shun - in order not to be noticed, this person must not be a high-ranking official, but also must have a moral integrity and true talent, Yu Feng thought about it, and planned to let his business teacher Wei Wangyong recommend the selection, the letter was written, and he would let Gray Du personally send it to Jizhou.
This matter broke out, he knew that Yijing would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly arranged his ears and eyes to secretly investigate, and just returned to Guan Suiyuan, pulled Yijing and said "I know everything", followed by the conclusion.
Yi Jing also had faint suspicions in his heart, and this time he had to implement it, but he couldn't rest assured: "But just because of this, as long as the Empress Dowager comes forward to clarify the situation and keep the wind calm, although it will discourage those famous families, it is not good to discuss marriage with the Weiguo Mansion at this time, but the grandmother herself does not plan to find a noble family for the sixth sister." ”
This is just the beginning, and of course there are aftermaths.
However, Yu Feng's words were on his tongue, but he did not say it.
He had already heard that the queen had heard about this incident, and he was extremely excited, and when he went to Ci'an Palace to say hello, he couldn't help but "rejoice" in front of the empress dowager - "Grandmother is a little lady who really loves the Guogong Mansion, not to mention Concubine Fu and Princess Chu, now they have become the royal family, that is, Liuniang, and they can also get married by their grandmother."
If this is really a good fate, the queen will not be overjoyed, she is watching Su Liuniang "about to enter the fire pit", so she can't wait.
The Empress Dowager probably also reacted that this incident was directed at her, and she was full of depression, listening to the queen's "implementation" again and again, how could she bear it, and immediately took the case and was angry, and reprimanded the queen for being a middle palace, but she was gullible and trusted, so that she was grounded for three days and not allowed to step out of Kunren Palace.
Yu Feng didn't think that the queen would understand the hidden story, whether it was the Son of Heaven or the Chen family, they probably wouldn't expect the queen to be helpful, but they were afraid that even the Qin family would not tell the queen the truth.
It is said that the dormitory is a mess, and none of the palace servants have escaped the queen's wrath, some were inexplicably punished and slapped, some were beaten by the board, and the vast majority of them were punished to kneel in front of the palace.
So naturally it alarmed the saints.
The Son of Heaven, who had been ignoring Kunren Palace for a long time, went to the Empress Dowager for the first time, saying that it was the Empress Dowager who was "asking for guilt", but in fact he was asking why Ci'an Palace punished the Middle Palace.
After hearing what happened, the Son of Heaven was quite puzzled: "I seem to have heard the queen mother mention that the Weiguo Mansion wants to marry the Chen family, and the queen mother also intends to give marriage, why is it a rumor?" ”
The Empress Dowager was annoyed, and her own grandson was falsely wronged: "It's the Huang family's own opinion, your aunt and grandmother were concealed in the dark, and the misunderstanding was explained when she entered the palace last time. ”
The Son of Heaven smiled: "Grandmother don't believe those rumors, I see that Liulang has reformed, and the Duchess of Guo, as the biological mother of Liuniang, is always planning for the sixth sister...... I heard that my aunt and grandmother were very interested in the wishes of the younger generations, and my grandmother was as good as the mother and daughter of the Duchess of Zhaoguo to enter the palace, and asked Liuniang's wishes face to face. ”
Since the Son of Heaven spoke, he did not want to forcibly grant marriage, and the Empress Dowager naturally did not refuse, and pointed out that only the mother and daughter of the Huang family were invited to enter the palace, and the eldest princess was naturally inconvenient to go with her.
Yu Feng believes that since the other party has arranged the future, it is bound to reach a marriage, and the key is Liuniang.
And once Liu Niang declares her willingness, it is inconvenient for the eldest princess to interfere again, after all, there is the queen mother in the palace who agrees first, and the Weiguo Mansion also has the biological mother of the Huang family who nodded, which is already the life of the elders, and the heavenly family is the matchmaker, which is a good fate for the legality of etiquette.
However, Liuniang was seen by the edict of the Empress Dowager, that is, the marriage was finalized, and with the two things of Geng post and rumors, what will the eldest princess think?
Even if the eldest princess didn't suspect that the Empress Dowager was secretly calculating, the Empress Dowager would think that the eldest princess would be so suspicious.
The mustard is done.
But at this point, it will still begin, and it is not enough to turn the two families against each other.
Yu Feng thought that the Empress Dowager was so calculated by the Son of Heaven that she had to carry this black cauldron, which would be beneficial and harmless in the future.
On the one hand, Ci'an Palace is bound to be guilty of the Weiguo Mansion, after all, Senator Chen has been allied with it, although the Empress Dowager is unwilling to offend the Patriotic Mansion and the eldest princess for this, but she is still willing to compromise and make concessions to the eldest princess in her selfish heart, and a smooth resolution of this matter will be beneficial to both parties, so in the future, when Yijing is held accountable by the Son of Heaven again, this matter will become a psychological bargaining chip for the Empress Dowager's strength.
On the other hand, after the Empress Dowager was calculated by the Son of Heaven, the dissatisfaction in her heart will increase even more, and the estrangement and suspicion between her ancestors and grandchildren will add another layer, which will be beneficial to both the beautiful scenery and the overall situation in the future.
Of course, Liuniang will be wronged.
Yu Feng knew that the other party's plan would give Liuniang no choice but to agree to marry into the Chen family.
But since he was forced to reluctantly decide to show his sword to the Son of Heaven, he was destined to have to make trade-offs, and some things could not be done in all aspects, and everyone was safe.
In his mind, only the safety of the beautiful scenery is the most important, and sometimes it is inevitable that he cannot take care of others.
Although Yu Feng didn't know why his wife trusted Liuniang, he understood that Yijing would not watch Liuniang marry a non-human, but it was basically a foregone conclusion, even if she was difficult to turn around, it was nothing more than adding trouble.
This time, let him make a choice, and stand by for the time being.
Therefore, the words that came to his lips finally became a sentence: "You are right, even if there is a turmoil, it is not enough to coerce the Weiguo Mansion to compromise, I believe that the Empress Dowager will not be calculated by others, and the grandmother and father-in-law are not suspicious of Ci'an Palace?" Therefore, don't be impatient, stay for a few days, and the palace will always give an explanation. ”
