The carriage of Guangping County Prince's Palace left the city, and Su Xinyi was looking at her sisters at home with a frown. Google search reading
Aunt Weng went on a hunger strike because of Su Xixian's marriage. The third wife also lay down with her head buzzing with anger. The third room was in a mess. The third master happened to be on duty at this time and led his troops to patrol the city gates. This is a common practice in the military. There are two inspections per month, and this time it happened that Mr. San was leading the team. It would take several days to come back.
This patrolman didn't really only patrol the city gates, he also had to wander around the outside of the imperial city. As a result, when the third master walked away, Aunt Weng went on a hunger strike.
Who is this for?
Of course the third lady.
The third master has always liked Aunt Weng. If he really makes Aunt Weng hungry these days while he is away, how will the third wife explain to her husband when she comes back?
In particular, although Aunt Weng is a concubine, there is still the Weng family standing behind her. Even if the Weng family is not as good as before, it is still a local wealthy family and a giant.
Su Xinyi only knew that Su Xixian married back to the Weng family in her previous life, and she also knew that the third lady did not like the marriage, but she did not know that the marriage could cause Aunt Weng to cause such trouble.
Looking at Su Xixian who was crying in front of her, she didn't know how to comfort her for a while because she was inexperienced in this area.
Su Jingmo also had a quarrel with Su Xixian because of this incident, and the two sisters became angry. Su Chaoyan was soft-tempered, and she couldn't persuade either of her two sisters, so she had to go to Su Xinyi to bring reinforcements, so Su Xinyi took Su Xixian back to his yard.
Su Xixian cried with tears streaming down her face. She didn't say a word, just cried.
The Su Xixian Su Xinyi had met in her two lifetimes had never cried much. This was the first time she saw her crying like this. She couldn't help but sigh and asked the girl to fetch some water. She twisted the handkerchief and handed it to her, "Five Sister, please wipe your face first, and let’s sum it up slowly. It’s not an option if you keep crying.”
Both of Su Xixian's eyes were swollen, and as a result, she covered her face with a handkerchief and her tears stained the handkerchief.
Su Xinyi remembered that Su Xixian's ending in her previous life was not good, and that the young cousin of the Weng family was not a good man. After thinking about it, she said: "Fifth sister, I have an idea, but I'm afraid this idea won't be good for your aunt. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"
Su Xinyi didn't like Aunt Weng being so selfish, but after all Aunt Weng was Su Xixian's biological mother, she still had to look at Su Xixian's attitude.
Su Xixian's voice came out muffled from behind the veil, "Why is it bad? Harm her life?"
Su Xinyi couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course not."
Su Xixian took off the veil from her face and put it on the table without raising her head. She just said, "As long as it doesn't hurt your life, Sixth Sister, tell me what you say and I'll listen."
Having said this, she smiled helplessly, "Although my aunt is good to me, I know that she values herself most. She asked me to marry back to the Weng family, not really for the rest of my life, but just to be able to The relationship with the Weng family has improved, making her life in the Duke's mansion still easier."
Su Xixian could say this, but Su Xinyi couldn't. She remained silent and didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Sixth sister, we actually know what it's like to be a concubine. Which family has a concubine as comfortable as my aunt? My aunt believes that it is the Weng family that supports her and she has such a good life."
"So, she desperately wants to marry me back to the Weng family, because her cousin is the eldest son, will inherit the family business in the future, and will be the head of the next generation of the family. If she wants to continue to live comfortably, she must get the next generation of the Weng family. The head of the family continues to protect her."
"But I don't like my cousin. Every time I follow my aunt back to the Weng family, the way the people in the Weng family look at me makes me very uncomfortable. Especially since my aunt's displeasure with me is almost superficial and not hidden."
"How could someone as arrogant as my aunt want her son to marry a concubine? Even if the concubine is the daughter of the Weng family, it would be a shame."
"But my aunt doesn't care. She thinks that with my grandmother here, it's useless even if my aunt objects. But my aunt won't think about what I should do when my grandmother is a hundred years from now, and she won't think about whether my grandmother really likes this marriage. It’s still a helpless act that doesn’t want my daughter to be sad.”
"If I get married, no one in my family will be interested in me. How will I live my life?"
Su Xixian cried again as she spoke, "Sixth sister, tell me what should I do? On one side is my aunt who gave birth to me, and on the other side is my own life-long event. I really wish I wasn't born by her."
Su Xinyi always felt that Su Xixian was implicated in marrying back to the Weng family in her previous life. After all, her falling into the water brought shame to the sisters in the family, and the marriage did not go smoothly.
But now it seems that the news she got from the merchants is completely false. Even if she had not fallen into the water, Aunt Weng would still marry Su Xixian back to the Weng family.
But the marriage went smoothly in the previous life, and it probably had something to do with her falling into the water. The reason why her marriage didn't go smoothly in this life was because she had a flawless reputation, so naturally she wouldn't give Aunt Weng an opportunity to take advantage of it.
No matter what, in her previous life, when Su Xixian married back to the Weng family, she felt sorry for her.
In addition, she really didn't like a selfish person like Aunt Weng, so she didn't have much scruples. She looked at Su Xixian and said, "There is another way. Fifth sister, go and ask your grandmother. As long as grandma makes the decision for you, Aunt Weng will have nothing to do." No matter how much trouble Aunt Weng makes, even if she threatens you with death, don't let go, and things will definitely get over. "
Su Xixian felt a little unconfident after hearing Su Xinyi's words. Although she usually looked very powerful among her sisters, because she was a concubine after all, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her grandmother. Moreover, her grandmother usually treated her indifferently and was not considered a bad person. Very close.
"Grandma doesn't care about the family affairs now. It's my eldest aunt who makes the decision. I'm afraid it will be useless if I go to grandma." Su Xixian said in a low voice.
Su Xinyi looked at her and thought of herself in her previous life. She had always thought that her family hated her, so she had many concerns about doing things and drifted away.
Now, looking back, she knew that her grandmother was just hard-spoken and soft-hearted, that her eldest aunt was very powerful, but also reasonable, that her second aunt didn't mind her own business, closed the door and lived her own life, and that although her third aunt was unreasonable, after she came back It is true that he has made insinuations to her several times, but he no longer does such things.
There is a process for getting along with others. In her previous life, she was tricked by Xu Yurong and lost this process, so she had no chance to get close to her family.
Now, she didn't want Su Xixian to repeat the same path she had taken, so she encouraged her and said: "Fifth sister, if you don't try, how will you know that your grandmother will not protect you? Think about it, although the girls in our family are legitimate concubines, But when the family divides things during the holidays, when did the concubine become a concubine? According to you, I am also a concubine, and I am not living well now. "
Su Xixian was a little moved, and asked after hesitation: "If I return to my grandmother, will my grandmother punish my aunt?"
Su Xinyi didn't know either, but she looked at Su Xixian and asked her, "Then if you don't want Aunt Weng to be punished, you can only marry into the Weng family. Compared with your happiness for the rest of your life, what will happen if Aunt Weng is punished? Not at all. Take her life, and look at the third aunt, why is the third aunt so angry? In the final analysis, isn’t it because she thinks the marriage between the Weng family is not a good match, is it to protect you? "
Although it is possible that the third lady did not want Aunt Weng to continue to rely on the Weng family's arrogance, she heard from her sister-in-law Zeng that the third lady did not like the Weng family's style of conduct, and she was also really worried that Su Xixian would suffer hardship if she married.
The expression on Su Xixian's face kept changing, and Su Xinyi didn't rush her. She made it clear that the choice was up to her.
I don't know how long it took before Su Xinyi heard Su Xixian say: "I still don't want to marry back to the Weng family. I am also the daughter of the Su family. I am not my aunt's tool. I will go find my grandmother."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Su Xinyi asked.
Su Xixian shook her head. She couldn't let her sixth sister get involved and be resented by her aunt. She had to go alone!
Su Xixian gritted her teeth and walked away. Su Xinyi stood up and watched her leave, sighing quietly in her heart.
Aunt Weng chose this time to go on a hunger strike. This was a well-calculated time. She had a good grasp of Third Aunt's temperament, which she did not tell Su Xixian.
Just for this reason, Su Xinyi hated her. Such a person has scheming intentions and means, just for his own benefit, he plots against the mother of the house, and he plots against his own daughter, which is really abominable.
"little six."
Su Xinyi had just sat down and read for a while when she heard Su Jingmo's voice. She put down her book and went out. Su Jingmo had already strode in.
"Fourth sister, why are you here? Is Third Aunt feeling better?"
Su Jingmo looked a little tired, shook his head slightly, and then asked, "Where is Su Xixian?"
Su Xinyi said: "I'm going to grandma's place."
Su Jingmo was stunned, "Why are you going to grandma's place?"
As soon as Su Xinyi explained the matter, Su Jingmo sat down silently, his expression fluctuating for a while, and then he said: "My mother is really angry this time, and she has the old headache. I didn't want to care about it at first. Yes, Aunt Weng can do whatever she likes. If Su Xixian doesn’t live up to her expectations, we can’t help it, so we can’t bear it, so we come here to see if she’s smart enough.”
In fact, everyone in the house knows about the affairs of the third bedroom. The third wife is sharp-tongued and unforgiving and has little sense. Aunt Weng is smart, sweet-mouthed and can act like a spoiled child in front of the third master. What man doesn’t like a delicate and soft woman? Compared with Madam and Aunt Weng, Aunt Weng is naturally more favored by the Third Master.
But the third master is very fair in his work. Although he dotes on Aunt Weng, he has not made it difficult for the third wife for so many years. He will not refute her face and treats the children equally. Because of this, although the third wife does not like Aunt Weng , but did not treat Su Xixian and Su Chu harshly.
However, there is no real fairness in this world.
Aunt Weng dared to make such a big fuss this time because she was sure that the Third Master would not do anything to her. In fact, she was quite sure, because Aunt Weng did succeed in her previous life.
"Fourth sister, I think you should send a message to third brother and fifth brother. They don't know what happened at home in the academy. Let third brother send a message to third uncle, and let fifth brother come back to persuade Aunt Weng."
Su Jingmo looked at Su Xinyi, "Is this okay? What if it delays my brothers' studies?"
"Even if the third brother doesn't inform, the fifth brother must say that the fifth sister is the fifth brother's biological sister and Aunt Weng's biological son. His words have weight. I just don't know what the fifth brother thinks, whether he agrees or disagrees with this. Marriage." Su Xinyi didn't know Su Chu's attitude, so she asked Su Jingmo.
Su Jingmo said: "Fifth brother doesn't like the Weng family. Sometimes when Aunt Weng returns to the Weng family, he will use the excuse of not returning to school."
"That's it." Su Xinyi said.
"Okay, I'll send them a letter. Hum, it's the last thing I do for Su Xixian." Su Jingmo said through gritted teeth.
"Fourth sister, don't say such harsh words. I know you are still worried about the fifth sister." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "I think if the fifth sister insists on not marrying into the Weng family, grandma should make the decision for her."
Su Jingmo didn't say anything. He sat with a gloomy face for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go back and write a letter and have someone send it immediately."
Su Xinyi sent the person away and felt very tired. Before she could catch her breath, the maid from the eldest sister-in-law came over and said, "Sixth Miss, the eldest young lady said that the eldest young master sent someone to bring you a message, saying that there was a carriage from the Guangping County Prince's Mansion to the Daling Temple, asking if you want someone to go and see it."
Su Xinyi was a little puzzled, looking at the maid and asked, "Did the eldest brother say anything else?"
The girl shook her head, "Sixth Miss, there is nothing else to say."
Why did the eldest brother bring this message to her?
What does it have to do with her that the people from the Guangping County Prince's Mansion went to the Daling Temple?
Daling Temple...Su Xinyi suddenly remembered that she had asked Zeng Liang to investigate Daling Temple, and she also remembered that Xu Yurong had also been there when she was in Biyang Palace. She didn't quite remember whether she was there when Yan Qiongsi jumped off the building.
Daling Temple...Xu Yurong...Now the people from Guangping County Prince's Mansion are going to Daling Temple again. Is it a coincidence?
It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
Su Xinyi couldn't go out now. Su Xixian's matter hadn't been settled yet. How could she leave the house at this time? So she looked at the girl and said, "Go back and tell my sister-in-law to send a letter to my brother, asking him to find someone to go and see for me. I can't go out now."
The girl agreed quickly and went back to reply.
Su Xinyi took note of this matter. Daling Temple has appeared in front of her quite frequently recently.
It seems that she has to go to Daling Temple when she has the chance. She didn't go with her family last time. Next time she will go and check it out by herself.
Su Xinyi was still thinking about Su Xixian. She didn't know how she was doing with the old lady, but she couldn't ask anyone about it, so she had to wait patiently in the yard for news.
When it was getting dark, she heard a sound outside, so she immediately stood up and walked out. Unexpectedly, she ran into her mother. She hurriedly welcomed her into the house and said, "Mother, why are you here?"
Mrs. Su Si looked at her daughter and said, "I came to tell you that the old lady had someone send Aunt Weng to the farm. The old lady said that since Aunt Weng wanted to starve to death, she should not pollute the territory of the Duke's Mansion. She can do whatever she wants to the farm. She also said that Xixian is a girl from the Duke's Mansion, and her marriage is not up to a concubine. The old lady is angry now. You go to your grandmother and bring your fifth sister back. She can't go to Aunt Weng now, and it's not good to show up in front of Aunt San. Let her stay with you for one night first."
Su Xinyi was quite surprised , looked at her mother and said, "I guessed that grandma would take care of it, but I didn't expect that grandma would be so decisive."
"Your grandma has always disliked Aunt Weng, but since the Third House's own affairs did not come to her, she turned a blind eye for your Third Uncle. Now that your Third Uncle is not at home, Aunt Weng dares to make trouble and force Xixian to agree to the marriage of the Weng family. If Xixian hadn't made trouble in front of your grandma, your grandma wouldn't know about it." The fourth lady sighed, "Go over and take a look first, and take your fifth sister over. Don't really make your grandma angry, otherwise the whole family will not be able to live in peace."
Su Xinyi didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the lady's yard. Unexpectedly, she met Su Jingmo on the way. The two sisters bumped into each other. Su Jingmo looked embarrassed. He had said that he didn't care before.
Su Xinyi immediately said, "Fourth sister, you came just in time, let's go together. I'm afraid that grandma will be angry. I'm not good at talking, so you can go and help persuade grandma not to be really angry."
Su Jingmo followed Su Xinyi and said as he walked, "My mother found out and chased me to take Su Xixian back. When she heard that grandma was going to tie up Aunt Weng and take her to Zhuangzi Shiang to commit suicide, my mother's headache was cured all of a sudden."
Su Xinyi: ...
This disease healed very quickly. It turns out that heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it.
As they talked, they arrived at the courtyard of the old lady. Mother Yu was standing under the eaves. When she saw them coming, she immediately came over and said with a smile, "Why are you two girls here?"
Su Jingmo looked at Mother Yu and said a little embarrassedly, "My mother heard that grandma was angry about the matter of the fifth sister. She was afraid that grandma would be angry and sick. She lay in bed and couldn't get up, so she asked me to come and take the fifth sister back. Mother Yu, how is grandma now?"
Mother Yu said softly, "The old lady is indeed very angry. Oh, the poor fifth girl, her eyes are swollen like peaches. When have the girls ever suffered such grievances?"
Su Jingmo's eyes immediately turned red, "It's all because we didn't handle the things in our courtyard well, which caused grandma to worry. My mother said that she would come to apologize to grandma when she got better."
Su Xinyi felt that this sentence might have been added by Su Jingmo himself. If the third lady had such wisdom, she would not be so controlled by Aunt Weng.
Mother Yu hurriedly said, "The Madam was angry. I just persuaded her to lie down. Miss Wu is in the side room. I will take you there."
"Thank you, Mother Yu." Su Xinyi said.
"Miss Liu is too polite. It is what I should do. But I have something to say to you. The people sent by the Madam are going to take Aunt Weng to the farm. Miss Wu should not go there at this time. What if Aunt Weng sees Miss Wu and asks her to plead for her? Will Miss Wu plead or not?"
Su Xinyi nodded, "I came here because my mother asked me to take Miss Wu to stay with me for one night."
Mother Yu thought that the Fourth Lady's work was really worthy of praise, so she nodded, "It would be best if Fifth Lady went to Sixth Lady's place."
After going to the Fourth Room and waiting for Third Master to come back, it would be bad to embarrass Third Lady for Aunt Weng.
Mother Yu pushed open the door, walked in with a smile and said, "Fifth Lady, Fourth Lady and Sixth Lady are here."
Su Xixian was sitting and wiping her tears. When she heard this, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and turned around.
Su Jingmo almost couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. Her eyes were really like peaches.
Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian and said, "Fifth sister, come and stay with me for one night."
Su Xixian glanced at Mother Yu, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble Sixth Sister."
"Sisters are our own, this is not a big deal." Su Xinyi said with a smile.
Mother Yu then said, "Don't worry, Fifth Miss, your marriage will be decided by the Madam."
Su Xixian nodded with red eyes, "Mother Yu, is Grandmother okay?"
"Don't worry, Fifth Miss, the Madam is just angry, she will be fine after a while, this is a lifelong event for the girl, we can't let others do whatever they want."
Who?
Mother Yu saved face for Su Xixian and didn't mention Aunt Weng, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
Su Xixian followed Su Xinyi and Su Jingmo out, and when they reached the fork in the road, Su Jingmo said with a straight face, "Let's stop here. I'm leaving first."
Su Xixian hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Fourth sister, thank you."
"Hmph!" Su Jingmo snorted, "Why are you thanking me? My mother asked me to come."
"I'll go to my mother to apologize someday."
"You have a conscience." Su Jingmo's breath slowed down, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded, "Don't worry about Aunt Weng. Grandmother won't really starve her to death. At most, she will teach her a lesson. If you are soft-hearted, I will really ignore you in the future."
Su Xixian lowered her head and said, "I know, I'm not soft-hearted."
"Then you can follow Sixth Sister, I'll find you tomorrow." Su Jingmo waved his hand and left in a hurry.
Su Xinyi took Su Xixian back to her yard, asked someone to boil eggs to roll her eyes to reduce the swelling, and asked someone to prepare dinner. The two sisters sat at the table and ate slowly.
Su Xixian didn't have much appetite, but she couldn't let Xiaoliu worry, so she drank a bowl of porridge with a hard nose and put it down.
Su Xinyi looked at her and said, "Fifth sister, it's a good thing to be kind, but if you are caught doing evil with kindness, it will become a bad thing. Fourth sister is right, if you are soft-hearted now, it's like one foot has stepped into the Weng family."
"I'm not soft-hearted, I'm just worried that she can't endure the hardship on the farm."
"To put it bluntly, Aunt Weng doesn't worry about whether you are happy or not after marrying back to the Weng family, and whether you have a good life, why do you care so much?"
Su Xixian: ...
It makes sense, but the family relationship of so many years can be let go.
"Fourth sister wrote a letter to the third brother and the fifth brother, they should be back tomorrow."
Su Xixian's face changed, "Wrote to the fifth brother too?"
"Anyone in this mansion can be unaware of it, except the fifth brother. You are brothers and sisters from the same mother. If there is anyone who can really scare Aunt Weng, it is only the fifth brother." Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian and said.
When Aunt Weng gets old, she will have to live with her son in her old age, and this is her weak point.
