Chapter 228 Change of mouth(1/2)
Later, there was a second wife Chai Shu in the Fu Mansion, but the sister of Princess Fu never appeared again.
A few years later, a family invited a retired nanny from Prince Fu's Mansion to be a teaching nanny for their daughter. Once, the nanny drank a few more drinks and then went to talk.
It turned out that Princess Fu's sister had already married thousands of miles away, and she married a seventh-rank magistrate to fill in the house.
The maid's drunken words soon made the lady in the mansion know. When the lady was young, she told her cousin when she visited her relatives' house. At the next party in the boudoir, her cousin told her sister who was playing together.
The little sister returned home and told her mother, so the incident reached the ears of the ladies and wives in Pingcheng.
Princess Fu's family is a famous family in Haizhou. Although her descendants have withered in recent years and are not as good as other aristocratic families, she has not fallen to the point where she asks her daughter to fill a house for a small official. Moreover, there is a princess in her family.
The ladies and wives soon remembered that it seemed that after the second lady was sick, there was news that the princess was pregnant in the Fu Mansion. It was from that time that the second lady disappeared.
I don’t know who was the first to guess. In short, the life experience of Chai Shu, the second wife of the Fu Palace, who was only a few years old, was revealed like this.
This matter has never been confirmed, but it has never been questioned.
Perhaps these rumors have also spread to the Fu Palace. Since Chai Shu's childhood, the Fu Palace has downplayed the existence of the second lady and did not even ask her to be named the princess.
One year, the Empress Dowager Taigong was allowed to celebrate his birthday by Princess Fu and his two daughters. That was also the first time Chai Jing and Chai Shu entered the palace. The Empress Dowager Taigong liked them very much and kept them in the palace for many days.
No one expected that Princess Fu and her two daughters had just returned to Pingcheng when the emperor's imperial edict arrived, and Chai Jing was named Princess Jinhuan and Chai Shu was named Princess Rongcheng.
There are only two reasons why the prince's daughter made an exception and was named Princess.
The first situation is that her father and brother or herself have made great contributions, such as the Lintong princess of the previous dynasty, and the princess’ title is a commendation;
The second situation is marriage! For example, Princess Wencheng, the ancient Princess Jincheng, was granted under this situation.
King Fu is just an idle prince. It would be great if he doesn't cause trouble, so how can he talk about achievements?
Then there is only one reason: Chai Jing is going to kiss her.
Princess Jinhuan was ordered to come to Beijing to thank her for her, but she never came back after she left. The marriage delegation set out from the old capital and passed by Pingcheng, but she had not entered.
Ouyang Zan is also the one who has not entered the house. Like Princess Golden Huan, he never returns.
When Mrs. Ye said this, her eyes were wet. She was also a pity for Princess Golden Ring back then. The girl who was as beautiful as a flower, could only marry an old man who was about to die. This life would be over.
Yan Xuehuai asked, "Don't anyone in Pingcheng know about the later events of Chai Shu, the second wife?"
Mrs. Ye said, "Originally, she rarely showed up, and there were almost no young ladies with her in Pingcheng Mansion. Later, Princess Jinhuan went to Beijing to get married, and she went with her. She has never come back since then. Even Princess Jinhuan and her relatives passed by Pingcheng, but she has not come back. The news from the Fu Palace said that she was accused by the Empress Dowager and married a new Jinshi to the fiefdom. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. If you don't ask, your old man will almost be unable to remember this person."
Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "She has not only married a new Jinshi, but also a top scholar who has never married at the age of 28."
Mo Yu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interrupt: "Even if the top scholar is from a poor family, he has been a juren. He is not a poor family who can't afford to marry a wife. How could he not have married at the age of 28? It would be possible that the original wife died."
Li Qiniang was stunned and asked, "Did you know that the top scholar had a wife in the morning? How could that be possible? Not to mention that she is a dignified princess, even an ordinary wealthy family would not allow her daughter to be a concubine."
Yan Xuehuai laughed loudly, and the roommates stared at her.
She quickly put away her laughter and said, "I guess, I must have not known it at the beginning. Maybe I thought I had left shit... I had good luck and encountered a peerless dish that I had not eaten. But soon after, I found out that I had been cheated, but I had already given a marriage. I can't disobey the sacred order. I have no choice but to give it up. Anyway, the first wife of the priest's family has been dealt with. When I close the door, no one knows. When she walks out, she is still the original wife.
But unexpectedly, the original wife came to her house, and she couldn't hide this matter if she wanted to.
The dignified princess actually serves as a concubine for someone, and the top scholar will not die. Is it no wonder that he will still be kept for the New Year?"
Li Qiniang was shocked: "Was that top scholar asked the second wife to kill him?"
Yan Xuehuai said: "The person sent to kill people is not the second wife, but also from the Fu Prince's Mansion. In short, the top scholar can only die, and his life is an insult to the princess."
Li Qiniang was stunned and after a long time, she sighed: "She has a bad marriage and can't steal someone else's son. Alas, the Duke of the State might have really thought that his son was dead at first. How sad he should be."
Mo Yu also said: "Yes, yes, when the Duke of the Kingdom met Mr. Fusheng, it was the one that the Duke of the Kingdom had just passed away. Thinking about it, when he saw Mr. Fusheng, he thought of his son who had not had time to meet."
Yan Xuehuai raised her eyebrows gently, "The teacher's killer, you don't have to appear in person, but someone wrote a magnificent poem about losing orphans and finding a son for him."
Until she lay on the bed, Li Qiniang was still sighing.
This was the first time Yan Xuehuai saw Li Qiniang like this. She remembered that when she escaped from the Yan family that day, Li Qiniang was not so sad.
"Mom, don't worry, although the son of the Duke of the Kingdom is not a thing, he is still alive. Besides, the Duke of the Kingdom must feel ashamed of his son, so he let his son not recognize him. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. We outsiders don't have to worry about them."
Li Qiniang looked at Yan Xuehuai and after a while, she said, "When you get married and become a mother in the future, you will understand the kindness of being a parent."
Yan Xuehuai rolled her eyes: "For example, Master Yan Er?"
Li Qiniang patted her arm and said angrily: "What are you talking about? How many people in the world are fathers like him?"
"Why aren't there? Not everyone in this world who has children is worthy of being a parent. I know one thing, parents sell their daughter to human traffickers for their son."
Yan Xuehuai was talking about Xiao Pei, the friend who looked very much like Lu Ying'er.
Li Qiniang hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about? Are you on Huichang Street?"
"No, I heard Dong Wanqian say that. Oh, I don't know how Dong Da Si's fool is now." Yan Xuehuai quickly changed the topic.
Li Qiniang also remembered Dong Wanqian, and she said, "That second master Lu is a stable person. With him watching, Miss Dong and her brother will be fine. Maybe they have returned to Qingyunling."
Yan Xuehuai sighed that was inconsistent with his age: "Mom, when will we go south? We will be able to get along with our aunt."
Originally, they had decided to leave Xinjing, but they never expected that what happened next, and now they would not be able to leave for a while.
Li Qiniang said: "We are not in a hurry. When we see the Duke of the People's Republic of China safely, let's go."
At this time, Xiaoman, who was lying on the Arhat's bed, sat up and said, "Auntie, are you going to leave Xinjing?"
Only then did Li Qiniang remember that she had been in trouble these two days, and she forgot to ask Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, my aunt and sister will leave Xinjing, but not now, when will we be able to leave? It has not been decided yet. Would you like to leave with us?"
"I would like to, aunt, you and sister, take me away." As soon as Li Qiniang finished speaking, Xiaoman jumped off the Arhat bed, ran to Li Qiniang's bed, leaned against the edge of the bed, looked expectant.
Li Qiniang reached out to touch his hair and said softly: "Have you thought about it? You really won't go back to your home?"
Xiaoman shook his head: "I won't go back, and I will never want to go back."
Li Qiniang sighed and said, "Okay, then you can go with us. As for your own home, don't, you really won't go back. When you grow up and have the ability to protect yourself, go back when you want to go back."
This is to adopt him, but it will not stop him from recognizing his ancestors.
Xiaoman felt a fever in his heart and almost blurted out his true identity.
But he didn't say it in the end.
Although he was only ten years old, he was more mature than his peers. He knew more than anyone else what would be waiting for him once his identity was revealed.
He buried his face in Li Qiniang's palm. Li Qiniang's hands were bigger than ordinary women, a little rough, but absolutely warm.
"Auntie, I'll call you mother too, okay?" Xiaoman asked timidly.
Li Qiniang was stunned. She didn't expect Xiaoman to ask her to call her "mother". Although she wanted to adopt Xiaoman, she did not think about letting Xiaoman change her words.
Seeing that she did not agree, Xiaoman hurriedly said, "I have never called my mother, I just want to call me..."
Although he had called him countless times in his heart, he had never called him in person. His biological mother was a very decent woman and never dared to cross her.
Li Qiniang suddenly understood that those who are concubines dare not let the child call her "mother" after giving birth. The child calls her own mother, and they are directly called "aunt".
Therefore, women must not be concubines.
"Okay, you can follow your sister from now on, and call her mother." Li Qiniang said with a smile.
Xiaoman smiled a little silly. After finishing smirking, he raised his little face and called out sweetly "Mom".
After shouting, he felt embarrassed and buried his red face in Li Qiniang's palm again.
Yan Xuehuai watched coldly, let’s see, let’s see, who said that the child is simple?
Can a simple child find a mother for himself in just a few words?
No, I found a long-term meal ticket!
Li Qiniang also remembered Dong Wanqian, and she said, "That second master Lu is a stable person. With him watching, Miss Dong and her brother will be fine. Maybe they have returned to Qingyunling."
Yan Xuehuai sighed that was inconsistent with his age: "Mom, when will we go south? We will be able to get along with our aunt."
Originally, they had decided to leave Xinjing, but they never expected that what happened next, and now they would not be able to leave for a while.

"Xiaoman, my aunt and sister will leave Xinjing, but not now, when will we be able to leave? It has not been decided yet. Would you like to leave with us?"
"I would like to, aunt, you and sister, take me away." As soon as Li Qiniang finished speaking, Xiaoman jumped off the Arhat bed, ran to Li Qiniang's bed, leaned against the edge of the bed, looked expectant.
Li Qiniang reached out to touch his hair and said softly: "Have you thought about it? You really won't go back to your home?"
