Chapter 582: Self-slapping in the face
Li Qingyi got up and walked in front of Tong's mother and helped her up, "Mom, don't be afraid, I don't blame you, I just thought. Although the uncle has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but the east courtyard and the middle courtyard are always like a layer apart, the old lady has a knot in her heart, and the uncle also has a pimple in her heart, as the saying goes, the family and everything is prosperous, if the ancestors and grandchildren can get close, we will also breathe a sigh of relief, and the future days of this palace will be better and better."
Tong's mother sat back with Li Qingyi's hand, and echoed, "Grandma is reasonable......
"Mom doesn't have to be nervous, what I asked is not a secret, I just want to know what the relationship between the first princess and the old lady was during the years she was in the mansion, and what happened between the two? Mother will tell me what she knows."
Tong's mother clenched the handkerchief in her hand and wavered.
Li Qingyi instructed Lu Wu, "Go and bring that rosewood box."
Lu Wu agreed, turned his face and took the thing. Look at the book
Li Qingyi opened the box in front of Tong's mother, Tong's mother subconsciously looked over, and saw that this palm-sized box was full of jade orbs, all of which were crystal bright, and they were all high-grade and priceless at first glance.
"If Mom can say something I like to hear, Mom can choose whatever she wants, and take a few things when she says something."
Tong's mother swallowed her saliva and looked at Li Qingyi in a daze.
Four or five of the things here are enough for her to pay back the three thousand taels, and if she can get two or three more, she will marry her youngest son to a daughter-in-law, and she will not have to worry about the pension money!
Such sweetness, how can she give it to others!
If she doesn't say it, sooner or later someone else will talk about it.
"That...... I'm going to tell my grandmother a few things from the past......
When Li Qingyi heard this, he gave Xianglan a look.
Xianglan went outside to explain, and closed the doors and windows again.
Mother Tong cautiously asked, "Where does Grandma want to start with?"
"Let's talk about the conflict between the princess and the old lady first, the kind that makes you unhappy." Li Qingyi's fingertips fluttered among those crystal treasures, and said, "Say as much as you can."
Mother Tong couldn't hold back her saliva, cleared her throat and said, "The old lady was forced by the prince to accept the first princess, and she has always had resentment in her heart, but when the matter came to the fore, when the first princess was pregnant with the uncle in her belly, the old lady specially picked up her niece Meng Ruyi from her mother's house and wanted to be a concubine for the eldest master."
"Meng Ruyi?"
Li Qingyi had never heard of such a person, so this concubine must have not been done.
Mother Tong nodded, "Of course the prince disagreed, but the old lady didn't force it, and only let Miss Meng live in the mansion. Everyone understands that the old lady hopes that the prince can have a long-term relationship with Miss Meng, which is the most common and common means in the inner house, but unexpectedly, this Miss Meng looks weak and smooth, but on the inside, she is a fool."
Run riot?
Li Qingyi tasted Tong's mother's words, obviously, this Meng girl slapped the old lady in the face.
Tong's mother said, and the memory also returned to the past.
One afternoon many years ago, night quietly shrouded Jingyun Hall.
The twilight poured into the house through the cracks in the long window, and the dim glow of the lantern illuminated the edge of the window lattice, and the old lady Gongsun stood under the window, her face gloomy, and she had not spoken for a long time.
Tong's mother reported to her: "At present, the slave maid has heard that this is the case, Miss Meng and the second master of the Meng family and Han Zongqi jointly attacked the prince, and I don't know what the prince offended them. In addition, it seems that the princess gave the money, and the person who was released by Han Zongqi, whether Miss Meng benefited from it or not, the slave maid has no way of knowing."
Mother Tong stood in the door with her waist bowed, and her voice echoed faintly in the silent hall.
Old Madam Gongsun gritted her teeth, trying to contain the tidal wave of anger in her chest.
She really didn't expect to find such news!
Her niece colluded with others behind her back and framed her eldest son to molest a woman from a good family! These words are like a thousand needles at once
Pierce her ear!
"I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!"
Old Madam Gongsun clenched her fingers and spit out a few words fiercely!
Mother Tong stood in the shadows and pursed her lips and didn't dare to answer, she was also the first time she had seen such a cousin!
Meng Ruyi was brought into the palace by the old lady, and the concubine did not say anything, and said where did she come from, and dared to attack the prince!
Of course, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, but no matter how deep Meng Ruyi's scheming is, she should also think about how to live a more dignified life in the palace, how to get the favor of the princess over the princess, instead of colluding with outsiders to demolish the palace platform! It's bad luck for the prince, and the face of the old lady's aunt!
Old Madam Gongsun was so angry that her face turned blue and her lips turned purple, "How could she be so stupid as to conspire with others to do such a thing? She doesn't want to think about it, Jingzhi is my most valued son, and the conspiracy she made hurts the reputation of the family that is most valued, such a thing, I dare to guarantee that the Hong family and the Yuan family will not dare to think about it, she Meng Ruyi, a person with a foreign surname who still relies on me to support her face, what dare she do to move such a hand to the palace?!"
What did Meng Ruyi think of the palace? What did you take her for? I thought that their mothers were mud legs from humble backgrounds before, and they could calculate casually?
Mrs. Gongsun looked at the deep and shallow flowers and trees in the twilight outside the window and took a deep breath.
Meng Ruyi's eldest son, who colluded with outsiders behind her back, wanted to execute her, which was as easy as a snap.
But she was specially accepted to be a concubine for her eldest son, and now she has done such an ugly thing and executed her, where will she have the face to meddle in the eldest son's room in the future?
He has no eyes, and he actually lures a wolf into the house.
In the future, the eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and even the second and third rooms will use this matter to prevaricate themselves!
Then what right does she, an old lady, have in the palace? Shouldn't this thorn of the Shaw be stuck in her flesh forever?
Therefore, she had to help Meng Ruyi cover up. When the limelight is over, send Meng Ruyi back to her parents' house, as if nothing happened!
But just let Meng Ruyi go, how could she calm down this anger! My mother is afraid that she will think that she is a soft persimmon, so she can handle it. Will there still be a peaceful day in the palace?
"Someone!"
An explosive voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the lamps and candles on the table were forced to tremble twice.
"Go, bring Meng Ruyi to me."
Soon, Meng Ruyi went to the door with a pale face, looked at the old lady Gongsun standing in the room where the lights and candles were as bright as day, stepped into the door and knelt down.
Old Madam Gongsun looked at the top of her head, and sneered for a while, "You kneel down, then you tell me, what are you kneeling for?"
