It was early spring, and the breeze was blowing in the Hou Mansion and the garden was full of colorful scenes.

Mu Qing followed Liang Jing forward, and in a short while, he walked past a pavilion.

Just around the corner, Mu Qing saw that there seemed to be a few people walking in front of him. Because the distance was a bit far, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

When he got closer, the man stopped and greeted him with a smile: "Sister-in-law."

Liang Jing paused, still having a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "Look, the second child seems to be coming from the old lady's Jinhua Hall, but he is going to pay his respects to his mother again?"

The man nodded and sighed: "No, I'm not very happy these days, so of course I have to take care of you all the time."

After saying that, he said unintentionally: "I am not as good as my sister-in-law. I have to work hard on the things in the Marquis' Mansion every day, so I can only do more for my mother."

The meaning inside and outside is that Liang Jing, as a daughter-in-law, even though he was in charge of the Marquis's mansion, was not serving the old lady in front of him, which was really unfilial.

When Mu Qing heard this, he smiled at the corner of his lips.

I looked up and looked at the person in front of me, but I saw her wearing a lotus-green pleated skirt, a pure white coat with a rhododendron embroidered with a silver plate, her face was like a silver plate, and her makeup was exquisite. She was a jade hairpin between her hair. Although she was no longer young, her eyebrows and eyes contained a mature style.

Mu Qing lowered his eyebrows and his eyes were already clear about this person's identity.

Seeing that Liang Jing called this man just now, he must be the second wife Hu.

When she was in Shuozhou before, she heard Qiuyu talk about it.

The second wife, Mu Yuanhe, was a concubine's son. The Hu family was originally the legitimate daughter of the Ministry of Rites. After marrying Mu Yuanhe, he gave birth to a son and a daughter.

It turns out that when Xie Ling'er was alive, she was very good to her. She was generous in every application and never treated her harshly.

But since Xie Ling'er passed away and Liang Jing became the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Hu's life naturally has not been so easy.

Liang Jing firmly grasped the power of the family in his own hands, greatly reducing the food and clothing of the second house, which made Hu, who had been used to living a good life, naturally felt very dissatisfied.

But Liang Jing was the mistress and the second wife was born in a vain, so she could only swallow this breath into her stomach.

When Mu Qing was seven years old, he was in the imperial examination for Emperor Xiaocheng. The youngest sister of Hu was also on the list of candidates. Somehow, she was attracted by Emperor Xiaocheng and named a beauty.

Later, just two years later, the beauty Hu gradually became promoted to concubine and was favored by Emperor Xiaocheng, so that Hu and the other two were proud of each other in front of Liang Gong. The two often competed against each other.

Even though he looked at Hu's clothes, Mu Qing knew that the second wife would have a comfortable life. After all, there was a favored empress in the palace, which must have given the second wife a good face.

Hearing the ridicule in Hu's words, Liang Jing remained calm, but instead smiled gently and said, "It's hard for the second brother to be so filial."

After saying that, Liang Jing sighed and said distressedly: "I want to go to Jinhuatang to take care of my mother from time to time, but who has let the power of the family be in my hands? The Marquis' Mansion has to take care of big and small things every day, so I really can't spare too much time. However, the second child has a lot of spare time and can always be filial to my mother."

Hearing this, the smile on Hu's face froze. He suddenly felt a sense of depression in his chest, and he wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to retort Liang Yan's words.
