$249: This Is a Bit of a Bully

No matter how much people were talking outside, the people in Duke Qi's mansion continued to live their own lives. A few days later, Su Lanxi's married daughters returned to her parents' home, and several sons-in-law also came. The whole family was very lively.

After dinner, several sisters gathered together to talk in private, and several sons-in-law were chatting with their elders.

Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xinyi and said, "I've been worried to death these days. Does Wu Daohong's incident have anything to do with you?"

Su Chaoyan hurriedly said softly, "Fourth sister, don't ask like that."

There are not only their sisters here, but also their husbands. Although the husbands are not outsiders, what if one of them accidentally lets it slip?

Both their parents' home and their husbands' home are where they live, but there is one thing that only when their parents' home gets better and better can their lives in their husbands' home be smooth and peaceful.

After Su Chaoyan got married, she had a particularly deep understanding of this. Although her husband treated her well, he was a concubine's son after all. The Tu family was a big family, and it was inevitable that there would always be some people who would say sour things. However, because of her high birth, although she was only a concubine's daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion, no matter whether it was the dowry or the respect given by her natal family, those people in her husband's family did not dare to look down on her. Even because of her, even her husband's status at home was better than before.

These things Su Jingmo could not understand, because the fourth sister was the eldest daughter of the third room, and she did not know the bitterness of being a concubine.

Su Jingmo wanted to refute that there was nothing that could not be asked, weren't they sisters in the same family?

But unexpectedly, the second sister also whispered: "The third sister has improved."

Su Jingmo snorted, "If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. I know it even if you don't ask me."

"You know it, just keep it in your stomach. If you go back to your husband's house, you should know how to tell others." Su Lanxi smiled and instructed her sister.

Su Jingmo nodded, "Second sister, I understand."

Su Lanxi is now the oldest among the sisters. The eldest sister is far away in Pingningwei and can't take care of the younger ones. She can't help but worry a little. Looking at Xinyi, she smiled and said, "Sixth sister, it's our family's wife's birthday in a few days. The family wants you all to go over and have fun. I'm here today just to invite you on behalf of the Bofu. But I mean that the sixth sister should not go out for the time being. The fifth sister will get married soon and it's not convenient for her to show up. The third sister is pregnant and it's not convenient. I think only the fourth sister should go over."

Su Xinyi immediately understood what Su Lanxi meant and said with a smile: "Then I have to thank the second sister for thinking about me. I will listen to the second sister."

Su Xixian smiled and said: "I will listen to the second sister too."

Su Chaoyan nodded.

Su Jingmo: ...

Okay, she will listen to the second sister too.

Wu Daohong's matter has not been concluded yet, but Su Xinyi can't show up everywhere. It's better to stay at home. And the prince also means this. Su Xinyi is very grateful that Su Lanxi can think so much about her.

Su Lanxi was afraid that the sixth sister would be unhappy. She has been with the sixth sister for the shortest time, unlike the other sisters who have been together for many years and know each other. Now she is very happy to hear Xinyi say this. It is really a happy thing to be understood by others.

Su Lanxi looked at Su Xinyi and her sisters and said softly: "There are many people visiting our house these days. Most of the time, my mother-in-law asks me to accompany her. Your brother-in-law's family is the third child. In the past, I didn't have to show up in such occasions."

What does this mean? The sisters understand it as soon as they hear it. The Duke of Qi's mansion is closed to visitors, and the family members don't like to go out to attend banquets. It is not convenient for others to inquire about the news, but they didn't expect that they would still have to inquire about it in a roundabout way.

Su Jingmo was a little surprised when he heard what his second sister said, "No wonder there are more guests in our house recently. I thought it was because the relatives and friends came to visit after the Changnan Marquis returned to Beijing after mourning. It seems that it is not all like that after hearing what my second sister said."

Su Lanxi looked at her fourth sister and asked, "Didn't the wife of the Changnan Marquis ask you to come?"

Su Jingmo thought for a while and said, "She asked me once at first, but I just had a stomachache that time, so I declined."

Su Chaoyan was a little surprised that her mother-in-law told her that her fourth sister could not come. It is true that only the eldest daughter has such confidence.

Su Lanxi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It should be a mistake. You really have a stomachache here, but the wife of Changnan Marquis thought you didn't want to entertain those people. Even if someone came to visit again, she didn't let you go. It should be that the wife of Changnan Marquis sent you away."

Su Jingmo was shocked. He didn't expect there would be such a misunderstanding. He looked at his second sister with a sad face, "Second sister, what do you think I should do now that I know?"

Su Lanxi thought for a while and said, "How is your relationship with your brother-in-law?"

Su Jingmo blushed and nodded gently, "He treats me very well."

"Then tell your brother-in-law about this matter, and let your brother-in-law explain it to the wife of Changnan Marquis. It's better for mother and son to talk to each other than for you to apologize in the past." Su Lanxi smiled and gave advice.

"Is it really possible?" Su Jingmo had never done such a thing and had no experience.

"It will definitely work. You can tell your brother-in-law that it was because of what I said today that I realized that there were so many guests in your house recently. You can say that you, as a new daughter-in-law, don't understand these things and have made your mother-in-law work hard. Ask him to give you some ideas on how to apologize to your mother-in-law. Your brother-in-law will definitely do it for you."

Can you do it this way?

Su Jingmo felt that her eyes had been opened. After all, she had been a daughter-in-law for many years, so her second sister had experience. She nodded immediately, "I'll try it on the way home."

Su Chaoyan seemed to be thinking about something, and asked softly, "Second sister, I don't know how many guests come to our house. I usually stay in my own yard to take care of the baby. What do you think I should do?"

"If Madam Tu doesn't let you go, just pretend you don't know. You are pregnant, and Madam Tu may be protecting you and doesn't want you to worry. There may be other reasons, but as long as Madam Tu doesn't let you go, just pretend you don't know."

Su Lanxi looked at her sister and smiled to comfort her. After all, the wife of a concubine's son and the wife of a legitimate son are different. There are some things that a legitimate son can do, but a concubine's son should not do them if he can.

"After getting married, I feel that life is so complicated." Su Xixian said faintly.

Su Lanxi was delighted when she heard this, "Fifth sister, let me tell you, all of us sisters live under the care of our mother-in-law, but you are different. You have to be the head of the family when you get married. Even if someone comes to ask for information in the future, you will be the one who will deal with it directly."

Su Xixian:...

At the end of the relationship, she married the latest, but she was the first to protect Xiaoliu!

Isn't this a bit bullying?
