Chapter 45: Verbal Quarrel
Mu Siluo, who was following them, was diametrically opposed to them, she smiled on her lips, and she was delicate and pretty, walked quickly to Mu Yurong's side, held her affectionately, and said: "Sister is finally here, if you don't come again, Luo'er will probably have to go to Rui Wang's Mansion to invite." β
Mu Yurong patted her hand, smiled lightly, and said, "You are impatient, I'm not here, and I still bother you to invite it in person?" β
"Hehe, Luo'er isn't afraid that you won't come." Mu Siluo smiled skillfully, her eyes shifted to Mu Xuefu, her expression was a little alienated, the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly faded, but it was a little stiff, "Sister Xuefu made an appointment with the eldest sister to come together?" β
Mu Xuefu didn't care about other people's attitudes at all, and she was used to this kind of alienation, she glanced at Mu Siluo and said, "It's not that it's an appointment, but it happened to meet at the door." β
Even if Shen Ruoshui hated Mu Xuefu and Mu Yurong no matter how much she hated her, she had to act like a loving mother in front of outsiders. With a smile on his face, he stepped out of the threshold and walked in front of the two people, owing his body, "The women of the people see the two princesses, and it is an honor for the two princesses to be here in their busy schedules." β
Mu Yurong helped her up with a smile and said softly: "Madam, please get up, it is natural for us to come back to celebrate my father's birthday, and besides, we are all a family, so don't be so polite." β
Mu Menglian glanced at Mu Xuefu, snorted coldly, and said, "Princess Chen is really a rare guest, I don't want to come here today." β
Mu Xuefu looked at her coldly, the corners of her mouth were like a smile but not a smile, she had no intention of talking to her, and she was silent with a smile.
Mu Xuefu didn't speak, but the atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone can see that this Princess Chen is afraid that she is not on good terms with her stepwife, mother and daughter, otherwise she would not have spoken since she came here. Some people were full of eyes and hurriedly rounded the field, "Everyone says that the daughters of Zuo Xiangmu's family are all beautiful like flowers, which is not true." Where can this be compared with flowers, but I am afraid that people are more delicate than flowers, and the moon is shy of flowers. β
"No, I don't know if the feng shui of the Zuo Xiangfu is good, the delicate skin of the ladies is like the peeled eggs, and they can be broken by blowing. Not to mention the young lady, even Mrs. Xiangye is more and more like a twenty-eight girl. β
They are all people who wander among the dignitaries and nobles, and which one is not as sweet as honey in the mouth. A few people, you and I will praise the women of the Zuo Xiang family all over again, as if the women of the Mu family are all immortals, and Diao Chan is alive.
"Originally, I was supposed to go to King Chen's Mansion to see you a few days ago, but I thought that you had just had a miscarriage and needed rest physically and mentally, so I didn't bother. How is your body conditioned now, and when you leave, I'll ask someone to get you some supplements to nourish your body. "Hitting a snake and beating seven inches, Shen Ruoshui thought that the miscarriage must be Mu Xuefu's pain, so he said it in front of so many people.
Mu Xuefu took a sip of tea, her eyebrows moved slightly, she squinted at her, and said, "Let Madame bother, my body has already been recuperated, and it is useless to use supplements now." β
When the people heard this, they laughed in their hearts. Princess Chen's words were almost clear that Shen Ruoshui was fake and kind, and she didn't give it away when she just had a miscarriage, but she mentioned it after such a long time, and she didn't show it off.
Shen Ruoshui was choked by her and was very annoyed, but she quickly swallowed this anger and looked at her with a smile, "As long as your body is well adjusted, you will still have a chance to get pregnant again in the future." He sighed slightly, as if he looked pity, and then said: "Alas, if you can keep this child, you and Yurong's child can grow up together, it's a pityββ, but Xuefu, don't be too sad, this child pays attention to chance, maybe this child has too little chance with you." β
Losing a child is a fatal blow to any woman, but Shen Ruoshui repeatedly mentions the sore spots of others, which is really despised, and some people have long been contemptuous of her.
"The princess is still young, and after this, there will be opportunities. I heard that King Chen is very fond of the princess, and the courtiers will not be long after seeing it, and they will have good news. "It was the wife of Fan Zheng, the imperial historian, who spoke, and she came over just to make a scene, let alone please Shen Ruoshui. Looking at Shen Ruoshui's style, he couldn't help but speak for Mu Xuefu.
Mu Xuefu smiled at her, accepted her kind words, and said, "Borrow Mrs. Jiyan." β
"Mrs. Fan is right, now that King Chen loves you, you must also seize the opportunity to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, and then you will have no worries in the future. In the final analysis, a woman is still more expensive than a mother and a child, let alone a royal family, and the eldest son is more important. If someone else preempts it, won't the word "long" of this eldest son be taken away? This should not have been said by Shen Ruoshui, how could the royal family allow a courtier to make irresponsible remarks. But in order to give Mu Xuefu a face, she opened her mouth openly. Anyway, she is Mrs. Xiangye, who can talk too much?
The tea lid gently crossed the edge of the tea cup, Mu Xuefu looked at the new green leaves in the tea, smiled, and said: "The prince loves me young, and it is not too late to say that it will be two years later." And I don't care about what the eldest son says, anyway, in the future, only I will give birth to the son, and I don't care if it grows up or not. After speaking, he raised his head, looked at Shen Ruoshui meaningfully, and said, "I think it's right, I'm young after all, and it's not good to be born too early." If something happens in the middle, not to mention my son, I may not be able to save my life. When the time comes, will you let the prince straighten the side room and occupy my place and steal my son's throne? β
Before the words fell, Shen Ruoshui's face was already blue and white for a while, and the steproom was always a pain in her heart, because she was a steproom, although her children were descendants, they still had to be pressed by that woman's children, and she had to bow down to that woman's tablet every New Year. Now Mu Xuefu dares to damage her face in front of so many people, how can she not hate.
Shen Ruoshui pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at Mu Xuefu with ill intentions, and his eyes were full of provocation, "Although the words are good, you have to hurry up, if one day the prince brings back a child from the outside, saying that it is raised by the outer room, it will be too late for you to regret it." β
Mu Xuefu lowered her eyelids, shook off her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said slowly: "If the prince can still give birth to a child while raising people outside, it is also me, the housewife, who has no ability and can't complain." β
Others were confused by the outer room that these two people said, and they didn't know why, but the Mu family members present knew what was going on. However, as for Mu Xuefu's life experience, Xiangye once warned everyone not to spread it, so no one dared to reveal half a sentence in front of outsiders. Shen Ruoshui only felt that a breath was in his throat, and it was not when he spit it out, nor was he swallowed it.
Mu Menglian looked at Mu Xuefu, the corners of her mouth hooked, and said: "Sister Xuefu's words are not right, where can this man be the fault of the master mother in the outer room, it is clear that the woman outside is too cheap, seducing other people's husbands, and she is not afraid of being damned." But this slut has his own harvest, and he will not live long. "Mu Xuefu, you little slut in life, like your mother, will only hook up with men.
The daughter stood up for herself, and Shen Ruoshui only felt that the fire surging in her chest was slowly extinguished. She glanced at Mu Menglian, pretending to be disgusted, "How can everyone say such ugly words, that slut is what you should say." The ladies and ladies of serious families here are all serious, and I don't apologize to you for such foul language. β
"Yes, my daughter apologizes to the ladies and ladies. Before, I also spoke out because of Sister Xuefu's arrogance, and I didn't want to speak too aggressively and disturb everyone's ears. Mu Menglian smiled and owed, looking well-behaved, looking at Mu Xuefu with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said quietly.
"Sisterhood should be like this, this is all Mrs. Xiangye's teaching daughter, these sisters think about each other everywhere." Mrs. Honglu Temple has always been stammering Shen Ruoshui, and naturally flattered her, "Miss Menglian is outstanding and in her prime, and I don't know who has good fortune to marry back." β
"When Yurong and Xuefu got married, I was reluctant, I just wanted to keep them by my side from time to time, but the emperor's grace was mighty, and I couldn't keep them. Now that Menglian is still young, if she marries me again, there will be no one around me, and I have to keep her for two years before letting her out. Shen Ruoshui knew that this lady of Honglu Temple had taken a fancy to her dream lotus and wanted to get married. However, she also overestimated her family's family, but she was just a Honglu Temple, and she wanted to climb their mansion, which was really a fool's dream. Her daughter is no worse than Mu Yurong and Mu Xuefu, the two cheap girls, they can be princesses, and her daughter can naturally be princesses.
Mrs. Honglu Temple did take a fancy to Mu Menglian, not for anything else, just because she was the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and I heard that her grandfather was also transferred to Zhongshu Province soon. Besides, now there are two princesses in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and they have become brothers-in-law with the prince, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings. But at this time, Shen Ruoshui said such words, which made her depressed for a while. It's all an excuse to stay for two years if it's still young, just to climb another high branch.
Mu Xuefu looked at Shen Ruoshui and Mu Menglian with a smile, and snorted softly and let out an imperceptible sound, where is the son of Honglu Siqing that the two of them can put in their eyes. However, she is still very glad for Mrs. Honglu Temple, the well-behaved and elegant Miss Zuo Xianger in the eyes of others is simply a scathing, vicious and vicious person behind her back, if she marries back, can there still be Ningri in Honglu Temple's Qing Mansion?
Everyone once again praised and complimented the daughter of the Mu family, as if the daughters of the Zuo Xiang family were all outstanding in the sky and on the ground.
"Madam, the wine and food in the east and west courtyards have been prepared, and the master said to let Mrs. take the ladies and ladies to the west courtyard for a banquet. After a while, a maid in light blue clothes opened the thick curtain and entered the house, and after coming in, she saluted Shen Ruoshui and said.
When Shen Ruoshui heard this, he nodded, waved her hand and asked her to retreat, "Today, my master specially invited the best troupe in the imperial city, and when the meal is finished, let's go to the theater again." After saying that, he stood up, with a smile on his face, and warmly beckoned everyone to go out.
