Chapter 23 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
The two families already have a grudge, although it is not endless, but there is no way to solve the contradiction. I was able to sit down and say a few words calmly today, all because the emperor didn't want things to continue to ferment, otherwise no one in the two families would bow their heads.
Therefore, the three members of the Liang family stayed in the Hou Mansion for a while and left, Xiao Yuchen and Tang Shuyi did not send it in person, so there was no need.
After the people left, Xiao Yuchen arrived at Shi'an Garden, and when he saw Tang Shuyi, he told him about his meeting with Liang Jian'an, Tang Shuyi asked with a smile after listening: "What do you think?" β
Xiao Yuchen touched his head, a little embarrassed, "I think... I didn't do very well today. If you thought about it last night, it didn't come in handy. β
The bright and delicate young man looks cute when he touches his head, and his lethality is not ordinary.
Tang Shuyi smiled and said, "You don't know Liang Jian'an, so naturally you don't know how he will act, and of course the words you think are useless." β
Xiao Yuchen nodded seriously, "I will learn more about those key people in Shangjing in the future." β
"There's no need," Tang Shuyi said: "When you get along with people, you know your own rules and bottom line, and you can act when you see the opportunity." You're doing well today. β
was praised, Xiao Yuchen smiled shyly. Tang Shuyi sighed in her heart, this cheap eldest son doesn't know who will be cheaper after retiring from Wu Jingyun.
Thinking of Wu Jingyun, she leaned forward, narrowed the distance between her and Xiao Yuchen, and said in a low voice: "How did you say that Liang Jian'an knew that Liu Biqin was hidden by you in Plum Blossom Lane?" β
Xiao Yuchen's brows furrowed tightly, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "My son doesn't know." β
"The news I got was the information given to them by Wu Jingyun, the second lady of the Wu family." Tang Shuyi whispered.
She thought about it, and still told Xiao Yuchen about Wu Jingyun's desire to withdraw from her family. This time it was unsuccessful to expose Xiao Yuchen harboring the daughter of the criminal minister, and Wu Jingyun would find another way to withdraw from her family.
What method?
It's nothing more than pouring dirty water on Xiao Yuchen, or designing a trap to make him behave inappropriately.
Therefore, Xiao Yuchen must be cautious and cautious during this time, and he must not fall into the trap of others. If you want to withdraw from your family, you can, but you must not let Xiao Yuchen be stained.
And Xiao Yuchen listened to Tang Shuyi's words, and his mouth opened wide in surprise, "This... This... How can it be? β
How can a woman take the initiative to withdraw from her family? What's more, Wu Jingyun did not hesitate to put him in danger in order to withdraw from his family.
He didn't have a deep impression of Wu Jingyun, but he generally felt that it was a gentle and atmospheric woman, how could she do such a thing? And he didn't do anything to hurt her, did he? Why would she do it?
Tang Shuyi saw Xiao Yuchen's unbelievable expression, I don't know whether to sigh or be sarcastic, ancient men, they never took women seriously.
"How could it be?" Tang Shuyi said: "You have a marriage contract with Wu Jingyun, and she is your fiancΓ©e." But your heart is on another woman, and it's normal for her to hate you. β
Xiao Yuchen was even more shocked, "I... Since I got engaged to Miss Wu Er, I never thought of letting Sister Qin be the main house. β
"Then you want Miss Wu Er to be used as an ornament? Be a nominal lady of the main house? Tang Shuyi asked, sarcastic.
"I... I didn't want to treat her as an ornament, I would give her what the lady of the main house should have. Xiao Yuchen said.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with that, didn't a lot of people around him do it? Marry for the interests of the family, but the marriage object is not what you like, and after marriage, you will raise your eyebrows with the lady of the main house, and then find the woman you like to comfort.
Of course, he has a deep relationship with Sister Qin, and he will not treat Sister Qin as an object of comfort, but he has never thought of treating Mrs. Zhengfang badly.
Tang Shuyi looked at Xiao Yuchen silently, she didn't know what to say now. In ancient times, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and men from slightly wealthy families would be laughed at if they did not have concubines. Joke that the man is afraid of guilt, and joke that the lady of the main house is jealous.
Xiao Yuchen has been exposed to this kind of thinking for seventeen years, and it has been deeply rooted, if she tells him now that she should be single-minded and monogamous, Xiao Yuchen will definitely think she is crazy.
But without saying anything, Tang Shuyi felt aggrieved again. Thinking of her two cheap sons in the future, Yingying Yanyan in the backyard, she felt uncomfortable. Not to mention, when Xiao Yuzhu gets married in the future, she will have to share her husband with others.
After thinking about it, she said: "Just now, Second Mrs. Liang asked me if the two concubines in the family were still safe, and she wanted to see me laugh. Before, I always thought that your father was just me, and I was very sad when I knew that he also had two concubines. β
Tang Shuyi lowered his eyes and looked aggrieved and sad.
Alas, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
"Mother...."
Xiao Yuchen didn't know how to comfort Tang Shuyi. As the son of a mother, he naturally hopes that his father will treat his mother wholeheartedly, and even his father will only have his mother alone in his life. But as a man, he can't say that his father is at fault.
In good conscience, it is normal for a father to take two concubines in the frontier. On the Beijing side, there is only one mother in his father's backyard, which is enough to show his father's love for his mother.
"Treat others with yourself," Tang Shuyi sighed again and said, "No woman wants her husband to have other women besides herself." The same is true for Miss Wu Er. β
Xiao Yuchen was silent, what could he say? If the woman next to him had said this, he would have said that she was narrow-minded and jealous, but that she was her mother. What's more, selfishly, he also hopes that his father is only his mother.
Tang Shuyi saw that there was no way to move Xiao Yuchen, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore. She sat up straight, no longer with the previous sadness, "Don't talk about your father, the man is dead, it's useless to talk about it." β
Xiao Yuchen pursed his lips, he felt that if his father hadn't died, with his mother's current style of doing things, he would definitely not be good to his father.
Tang Shuyi didn't know that the cheap eldest son was slandering herself in her heart, and she said again: "I have confirmed that the news is indeed the Liang family given by Miss Wu Er, what do you want to do?" Do you want to continue the marriage? β
"Nope." Xiao Yuchen immediately said that he would never marry such a woman.
Tang Shuyi snorted coldly, "Don't say that you don't want to continue the marriage contract, and Miss Wu Er is not willing either." She wants to denounce you, just to get out of your family. If she didn't retreat this time, she would think of other ways. Before the two of you leave, you should pay attention to your behavior, be cautious, and don't let people grab the handle anymore. β
If it weren't for the entire Hou Mansion, Tang Shuyi would have made him suffer hardships.
Xiao Yuchen nodded.
Tang Shuyi said again: "It's okay to quit your family, but you can't let her splash dirty water on you, and you can't let her ruin your reputation." β
Xiao Yuchen's heart was moved, and he replied seriously, "My son understands." β
