Is that the case? Zheng Xiuyu saw Qi Zhenzhen's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and felt a little confused in his heart.

In fact, the reason why he was so confused was because when he went to ask his mother for peace this morning, he unexpectedly heard his parents' argument.

The subordinates were far away, Zheng Xiuyu at that moment was unable to enter or retreat, he had no intention of snooping on other people's privacy, he could only stand in the corner and gently avoid everyone's sight, but the sound of his parents arguing still couldn't help but be heard by him.

"Hmph, what are you doing with me? Your concubine room today, tomorrow's concubine room is included, everyone looks at it, I never say half a sentence of right and wrong, and even help you deliberately cover up, why are you here now?"

This is her mother's voice, but in Zheng Xiuyu's memory, her mother has always been dignified, virtuous and gentle, even when she is facing her subordinates, her tone is as gentle as a breeze, but today she is so sneering at her father, even with a little cynicism.

I don't know why, there was such a quarrel, Zheng Xiuyu's slowly moving footsteps were a little closer to the window, so that he could hear the sound coming from inside more realistically.

"What am I angry about? Do you know that Aunt Wu murdered Aunt Zhao's child? Do you know that you are still bent on conniving, and this is your duty as a housewife? Sometimes I am really confused that I will marry you as a wife, but how can you take me in your eyes one day, all you see is the power of the Zheng family, only the position of your clanwife, and what am I to you?"

This is his father's voice, Zheng Xiuyu's father Zheng Kai is the eldest son of the Zheng family, in fact, Zheng Xiuyu's feelings for his father are very complicated, since he was born, his father and mother have always had a weak relationship, and he has little love for him, but his grandfather values him a lot, and his father is not very concerned in this family.

He spends almost half a day in the backyard, an aunt on the left, and a room on the right, because the Zheng family has a transcendent status in this place, so there are countless people who send beautiful women to knot, and the mother has never objected, but she went to tell her father that she can't tolerate so many Yingying Yanyan in her eyes, if her father still wants to step into the main courtyard for half a step, he will move them to another place alone, and take care of them by himself, she will not care about those complicated concubines, just out of sight and out of mind.

Then the mother lived in the main courtyard, and the father built a courtyard in the pavilion in the northwest corner for the aunts to live in, and the aunts and others usually can't see it, even if they do, Zheng Xiuyu can't recognize it, and there are also a group of his cousins and sisters.

Because they were not born high, they were very stammered with their father, after all, if they have more favor, they will be more valued, and others will have more respect, but Zheng Xiuyu is more respectful to him and not close enough, and over time, Zheng's father is too lazy to take care of him anymore, and this time he met his father in the main courtyard for the first time this month.

It's just that I didn't expect the two of them to quarrel, listening to Zheng's father's tone, he was clearly angry, but his mother was always indifferent, and even didn't take his father's anger in her eyes.

I only heard her continue: "I said a long time ago, you find a separate yard for them, I won't care about them, they can be free, they can compete for your favor if they want, you can spoil them if you want to spoil them, this has nothing to do with me.

After all these years, I don't think you're very comfortable, right? If it's okay, I'll go to my aunt's to rest, and I still have this big family matter to deal with."

"What? In your opinion, Ye is not as important as these miscellaneous things? I sometimes really wonder why you want to marry me, don't you still miss your childhood sweetheart? If you like him, why do you want to marry me again? Isn't it that you are reluctant to lover and covet the power of my Zheng family?

It's really a good calculation, who doesn't know that your Li family comes from a humble background, and you have never seen the wealth of the Zheng family, right?

Hehe, if it weren't for marrying me, the eldest son of the Zheng family, would you have the dignity of the lady in charge of the family now? Will others respect you? Since you have won the good of the master, you have to do things carefully for the master, otherwise the master will divorce you.

Now that your father has already been decided, there are still King Wu and King Jing here, we don't need to worry about your Li family for a long time, marrying you was just an expedient measure, since you have been tired of each other over the years, then you

Go down to the court, the women of this great clan in the northwest want to marry me, and they are much better to please than you are cold."

What? Father and mother want to reconcile and separate? Zheng Xiuyu was a little afraid, although his parents' feelings were not harmonious over the years, he didn't think that they would be reconciled? What's more, how should the mother deal with herself after the separation?

On the surface, everyone knows that she was suspended because of her faultlessness, but who knows what other people will talk about in the secret? Zheng Xiuyu was thinking about asking his grandfather to call the shots, but he unexpectedly heard his mother's voice sound coldly:

"You will forsake me? In the past, if your Zheng family was jealous of Beijing, it was because of marrying us that I had a chance to breathe, and as the wife of the Zheng family over the years, I handled internal and external affairs appropriately.

Xiu Yu is also very good, not as stupid as you, he was taught by his father, and now he is also in charge of outside affairs, what do you know with a wine bag and rice bag? If you hadn't married me, you thought your father would have passed on the position of head of the family to you? If it weren't for Xiu Yu, do you think the second and third masters would compromise so easily?

They are not like you, who are not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and the status of those concubines is humble, they are also sisters-in-law, your stepmother was born in the Wu family, and she is also a big family in the northwest, their background is not inferior to yours, but they are much better than you.

Father originally had the intention of setting up the two of them separately, or I tried my best to turn the tide, let Xiu Yu show his intelligence at a young age, and get his father's attention, so that you can have the time to make a big statement here now.

You're going to divorce me, okay, I'll tell my father to see if he agrees, and I'll see if your second and third brothers will call you the eldest brother? You should know in your heart what you have relied on all these years, not to mention that although my Li family has become a prince now, there are still such relatives and protégés, most of them are officials in the court, if you abolish me without fault, I have my own words to debate.

What's more, the Zheng family has been in my hands all these years, and I naturally don't know who used the deficit, and the master should also know that if I didn't cover it up for you and make up for it with the money I saved, do you think you still have face? Huh."

After that, I only heard that the Li family in the room was too lazy to pay attention to his father, and gave him an eviction order, and said in a rather cold voice:

"Since you also have this thought, you might as well think about my words, and then you will know how to deal with yourself, don't be so naïve, if I were Ye, I wouldn't say such stupid things, and I should know how many chips I have in my hand."

After hearing these words, Zheng Xiuyu saw his father come out of the room a little depressed, and Zheng Xiuyu hurriedly took advantage of the pillar to avoid his figure, so he was not seen by his father.

Today he heard many things that he had never heard before, what childhood sweethearts, what some things in the past, including what his father had done over the years, Zheng Xiuyu was confused, and couldn't help but go back and ask the mother in charge of his room.

Over the years, after his beating, there have been many people in the room who are only loyal to him, and although the grandmother was a little hesitant to ask this, she still told Zheng Xiuyu what she had heard before, and only listened to her tell it slowly.

At that time, his mother got married, and there was indeed the thinking of the Zheng family, Master Zheng had three sons, the eldest son was born to the original wife, and the second son and the second son were born to the stepfamily Wu.

Speaking of Master Zheng's life experience, it is actually a legend, he is not like Zheng's father, he is the eldest son of the Zheng family, inheriting the Zheng family, he is a concubine, relying on his own wisdom to defeat others and inherit the position of the head of the family.

And his original wife was he married when he was still at the end of the year, at that time he was just a concubine, naturally not worthy of a good marriage, married only the daughter of a small family, and later after inheriting the position of the head of the family, Master Zheng went to the steproom, because his status was different at that time, so the wife he married was the second daughter of the Wu family in the northwest.

The power of the Wu family and the Zheng family is equal, and the marriage between Miss Wu and Master Zheng makes the relationship between the two parties more intimate, and the business expansion of the Zheng family in the future will inevitably be supported by the Wu family, and the two can be regarded as mutually beneficial. This is also why Master Zheng attaches great importance to marriage, and after this relationship, he has benefited from it, so he naturally admires this method.

Later, Miss Wu

gave birth to Zheng Erye and Zheng Sanye, which naturally won the attention of Zheng Erye, but Zheng's father at that time was not outstanding, and on the surface, his position as the eldest son of the concubine may seem a little higher, but Zheng Erye and Zheng Sanye have the Wu family behind them, and the power of the Wu family is not inferior to the Zheng family.

And if either of Zheng Erye and Zheng Sanye becomes the head of the family, it means that their relationship is closer and the connection is closer, which is naturally a little more appropriate than that Zheng's father.

At that time, Master Zheng had not established the head of the family for a long time, and it was difficult to say that there was no consideration in this regard, and finally made him decide to make Zheng's father the head of the family, or because of his marriage, that is, with the daughter of Mrs. Li.

Li Taifu is not a child of an official eunuch family, he has climbed up step by step since the end of the year, so the Li family naturally has no background, but Li Taifu is a very smart person, and it can even be said that he is in the heart of the emperor, and he has been operating quite well over the years, and he is not only valued by the first emperor in the court, but also has some right to speak, and there are many people who are good friends with him. Chinese Net

And what about the Zheng family at that time? In the northwest, there were Zheng, Wu, and Lan families under each other's control, and the three families were equally powerful, and no one could help anyone, until a few years ago, the Lan family produced a deeply favored Lan Xian concubine, and her appearance gave the Lan family a basis, suppressing the Wu family and the Zheng family.

This is still because the Wu family and the Zheng family are holding each other, so they have not been encroached upon by the Lan family too much, but the Lan family still swelled, and at that time, Master Zheng can be said to be also tied, and those people in the face of the Lan family are even lowered.
