Chapter 7: None of the Good Things
When Pei Lanzhi heard Ye Wanran's words, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he waved his hand.
"How can this be done, although I don't like Shen Lingyu, but she is the third lady of the General's Mansion after all, if it spreads, where will you put the face of the General's Mansion?"
"Then are you willing to do this!"
Ye Wanran couldn't help but be angry, face and face, no matter what they do, the first thing these people in the mansion think of is the face of the general's mansion, and how do they know the truth that the tree is falling and scattering.
Now there is only one man left in the family, if he doesn't seek a half-official position, it won't be long before the General Zhuguo's Mansion is left with an empty shell!
Ye Wanran walked over and held his hand, and painstakingly analyzed the pros and cons with him.
Pei Lanzhi listened intently, and the more he listened, the more panicked he became.
Although he doesn't know how to learn, he grew up in a powerful family since he was a child, so how can he not know that people in this circle are used to worshipping high and stepping on low.
Wanran's words are indeed reasonable, if you can sacrifice Shen Lingyu alone in exchange for the wealth of the general's mansion for a hundred years in the future, it will be a loss of face, it is better than a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!
It's just that this matter is a little damaged, if he says it directly, Shen Lingyu probably won't agree......
Ye Wanran saw the concern in his heart, his eyes turned, and a cold glow quietly crossed the corner of his eye.
"I know this matter has embarrassed you, don't worry, I won't let you come forward, this matter can be arranged by me and my mother-in-law."
When Pei Lanzhi heard this, he pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Ye Wanran saw that he didn't care about Shen Lingyu at all, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart.
can't blame her for thinking too much, although he is Pei Lanqing, the second son of the General's Mansion, but in fact, he has visited Shen Lingyu, and with this love alone, she will inevitably worry about whether he will be distracted with Shen Lingyu.
Now that he had agreed, it would be better.
Ye Wanran grinded her teeth and immediately went to the old lady's courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I cried with red eyes.
"Mother, you must be the master of your husband!"
Old Madam Pei has always been quiet, she is so noisy, the old lady can't help but be angry.
"I'll tell you to reflect in the room, what are you doing here!"
Ye Wanran knelt down in front of her and cried.
"The daughter-in-law doesn't want to bother her mother, but this time the husband has really suffered a big grievance, and Wangniang must help him!"
When the old lady heard this, she also guessed that they already knew that Pei Lanzhi had not been made an official, and although she was also indignant in her heart, the emperor's decree had been issued, not to mention that the general was worthy of the Taimiao, and it could not be regarded as insulting the general's mansion.
As for the matter of sealing the official, as long as Lan Zhi makes more meritorious contributions in the future, the emperor will definitely not treat him badly.
In this kind of matter, the old lady asked herself if she could still think about it.
But Ye Wanran and Pei Lanzhi got into the horns, and they wanted to find a half-official position, and even wanted to sacrifice Shen Lingyu to curry favor with the servants.
Although she doesn't like Shen Lingyu very much, she can't do such immoral things.
Ye Wanran saw that the old lady and Pei Lanzhi were of the same temperament, pursed her lips, touched her stomach and played a bitter trick.
"Mother, the daughter-in-law has been pregnant for six months, and she is about to give birth, these days, the daughter-in-law tells him every day that his father is a great hero who has made military achievements, and the child of the same age as him, which one is not born with the father's name, if the husband has an identity but no real name, after the child is born, what do you let outsiders think of him, he is your eldest grandson!"
Ye Wanran is used to watching people talk, and she knows very well what the old lady cares about most, so these words can be said to have reached the tip of her heart.
Old Madam Pei turned the hand of the Buddha bead for a moment, her eyes fell on her bulging belly, and she suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she sighed and spoke.
"Well, I'll do it again for you."
After speaking, she slowly got up and let the maid help her to go to Shen Lingyu's courtyard.
At that time, Shen Lingyu was sorting out the accounts, Ye Wanran was only in charge of the house for a month, and she made a mess of the account books, fortunately she took back the power in time, otherwise the general's mansion would be defeated by Ye Wanran sooner or later.
Inadvertently looked up, and saw that the old lady had arrived in the courtyard, Shen Lingyu frowned, and got up unhurriedly.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"The third daughter-in-law, it's really helpless, your second brother can't get through, and now I can only beg you with this old bone......"
Old Madam Pei lowered her face to show her intention, and Shen Lingyu was stunned, and for a while she only felt that she had heard it wrong.
"Mother, you—What did you say?"
Old Madam Pei sighed: "Third daughter-in-law, I also know that this matter is a little difficult for you, but the servant of the ministry is now determined to block your second brother's official road, we can't sit still......"
"So, you're going to sacrifice me to help him get an official?"
Shen Lingyu never thought that this family could be so brazen.
Needless to say, this yin idea must have been conceived by Ye Wanran again!
"Didn't the mother say that the servant of the ministry likes to play with married women the most, why not let the second sister-in-law accompany her, after all, she is the second brother's wife, I just lost my husband, you actually asked me to serve other men, so how can I be worthy of the third master!"
"If the third master has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely scold me for being a fox who seduces men!"
When Mrs. Pei heard this, her old face turned red, and she instantly retreated.
But when I thought of my son's official position, I felt that I couldn't count it like this.
Wanran said it well, if there is no one in the general's mansion as an official, it won't be long before everyone can come to the door and step on them!
"I know that this matter is not done properly, don't worry, when I go to the Netherworld Mansion in the future, I will kneel in front of the ancestors of the Pei family to make amends to them, but in today's situation, if the third child is still alive, I will definitely nod and agree!"
Shen Lingyu sneered when he heard this, how could Pei Lanzhi not agree, he was the most ruthless and selfish.
But they also had to ask her if she said yes!
"My mother is hard to force each other, then I can only go down to accompany the third master, I am innocent of a daughter's family, I lost my husband after only half a year, and now I have the heart to observe the festival for the third master, but I don't want to suffer such insults, so how can I be embarrassed!"
As he spoke, Shen Lingyu hid his face and ran out crying.
Zeeland was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he hurried to catch up.
When I thought of the main entrance of the General's Mansion, I saw her hunched over and about to hit the stone lion at the door, and hurriedly shouted and stepped forward to stop her.
"Madam, no, if you die, how will the slave and maid live!"
Pedestrians on the road saw the movement and stopped to watch.
"Isn't this the third lady of the General's Mansion, how can a good person seek death?"
"Why can't you seek death, the day she entered the door, her newlywed husband went to the battlefield, waited for half a year, but became a widow again, a woman has no one to support in a huge general's mansion, and she can only beg for death after being wronged!"
Passers-by were babbling.
Shen Lingyu just didn't hear it, hugged Zelan and cried bitterly, how wronged he was.
I didn't want to glance at the corner of my eye, but I happened to see Xie Yunzhou wearing a black robe and riding a horse passing by, his deep eyes staring at her with interest, and a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Shen Lingyu saw this expression, he suddenly thought of the way he bullied himself that night, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
Rascal, he's not even a good thing!
