The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 163

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time until Shuangyue came to ask Xiao Yinxiu, "Uncle Hai asked about the arrangements for the ancestral hall. Please make the decision, Madam."

Xiao Yinxiu opened his mouth to speak and asked about his sister-in-law.

But she swallowed the words back. Qi Yueniang was a widow now, and the ancestral hall was an important place, so it was not appropriate for her to be in it.

"Where's the prince?"

Shuangyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Mrs. Min, and then whispered, "Go out for a boat trip on the lake."

"what?"

Xiao Yinxiu slammed the table and stood up, "There are so many trivial things to do in the mansion. Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. As the prince, he still goes boating today?" Shuangyue saw the angry prince's wife and didn't dare to say that he took the singer with him.

Songstress

When thinking of this woman, Shuangyue felt a headache. Now everyone in the prince's room knew about it, but they all kept it a secret from the prince's wife.

Mrs. Min held down her furious daughter and asked kindly, "Girl, is he the only one who went?"

Shuang Yue did not dare to look at the old lady's eyes, she only lowered her head and whispered, "...the fifth young master also went with them."

"Bastard!"

Mrs. Min was also angry, "Don't you know what day it is? You're going boating in the lake. How ridiculous!" She was worried that Xiao Cang might fall into the water due to poor eyesight, so she quickly found the maid and asked Xiao Cang and the two servants in front of him, but she heard that Xiao Cang didn't take anyone with him and left them all in the mansion.

"Oh my, what if something happens to this rebellious son?"

Calling Mu Er and Mu San, the two servants hung their heads. Mrs. Min said anxiously, "I have told you two many times to follow Cang Ge'er at all times. What if he gets into trouble?"

Mu Er said with a sad face, "Madam, it's not that we didn't follow him, but the Fifth Young Master turned around and chased my brother and me, and beat us a few times, so I didn't dare to follow him."

"You didn't follow me even though I was told not to? When did you become so obedient?"

Aunt Lin next to her came forward and scolded her harshly.

Xiao Yinxiu's chest was heaving with anger, and Shuangyue didn't dare to speak. Pei Hai sent another servant outside, who was whispering to the maid in the courtyard to pass on a message.

"Sister, please urge the Crown Prince's wife again. There are more than ten people waiting in the ancestral hall. If the Crown Prince's wife does not make the final decision, Uncle Hai will not dare to make the decision."

"The Crown Prince's wife is talking to our old lady. Wait a moment. Sister Shuangyue has already gone to talk to her."

Mrs. Min in the room also heard the noise and winked. Aunt Lin came out and asked a question, then sighed and went inside. "Madam, someone from the housekeeper of the mansion is here to urge the prince's wife to come again."

"Isn't this so urgent?"

Xiao Yinxiu suppressed her disappointment towards Pei Chen, suppressed her anger, and cheered herself up, "Forget it, Uncle Hai keeps urging me, it must be something important."

After saying this, he stood up and was about to leave, "Mother, don't worry. Although the prince is a playboy, he will definitely take good care of fifth brother." In the end, he let out a long sigh and helped Shuangyue out.

Mrs. Min did not try to stop her, "Just go on your own, don't worry about me."

While talking, Aunt Chu remained by his side.

"Xiu'er, go ahead. I'll ask you something while you're here."

Aunt Chu dared not disobey and lowered her head and said, "Just ask the old lady, I will tell you everything I know."

"Brother Chen..., how are you with Xiu'er now?"

this--

Aunt Chu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Old lady, they are just an ordinary couple. They are not as close as the fourth young master and his wife. Now the prince's wife and the two brothers are so old, it is impossible for them to be so fresh. But the prince is fickle and doesn't care much about the affairs of the mansion. All the pressure is on the prince's wife, so it must be hard and tiring."

"Well, I know that it's not easy to be in charge of the household..."

Aunt Chu thought for a moment and whispered, "Don't worry, old lady. The Crown Prince's wife is better now than before. Our old lady doesn't have to take care of things now. It will be more comfortable for her to have one less person pointing fingers at her."

Although it's tiring, I don't have to be submissive in front of the master and obey the old lady like before.

You can't please both sides and get caught in the middle.

Mrs. Min heard what her elder sister-in-law said. She was familiar with her temper. Since her daughter was not around, she asked for clarification. "She made a lot of trouble. The Duke also wrote to the uncle. I am a woman and don't know much. He just told me a lot. This time when I came to the Duke's house, I didn't mention your old lady. So, is she really imprisoned and can't see the light of day?"

Aunt Chu curled her lips and said, "I don't know much, but you know our old lady's temper best. Last month, the master and the previous concubine lost their lives. Since then, the old lady's small Buddhist temple has not been allowed to enter or leave. Several unfamiliar maids guard the gate. The prince's wife went to ask for an audience, but she refused to let her in."

After listening to this, Mrs. Min thought about how Xiao Muxue had been making trouble for thirty years, and she didn't feel sorry for her.

He just called Aunt Chu over and whispered, "You have always been smart. When you are with Xiu'er, she is naturally timid. You should help her more. Your old lady is now enjoying her retirement. She just needs to be obedient and not make trouble."

Generally speaking, the Xiao family is sorry to the Duke.

That's it!

After listening to this, Aunt Chu nodded silently.

After a long while, he said, "To be honest with you, Madam, the Fourth Young Master's wife also said so."

"Song family?"

"Yes, a few days ago, the Fourth Young Master's wife and the Crown Prince's wife had some disputes. The two had a few words, and then the Crown Prince's wife told me that the Fourth Young Master's wife asked her to think about it, and this mansion should also be the Crown Prince's wife's official residence."

Mrs. Min was horrified.

"What does she mean?"

Aunt Chu disliked Song Guanzhou and could say anything bad about him behind his back, but she was fair in saying, "The fourth young master's wife is lazy. She must have weighed the pros and cons. It's better for the prince's wife to be the housekeeper than for the old lady to make a comeback."

Mrs. Min said nothing more, thinking that her daughter must be busy, and sent Aunt Chu away with a few casual words.

Before leaving, she still said, "The sisters-in-law live in harmony with each other. She has no intention of interfering in your wife's household affairs. You should not provoke disputes between the two of them. Silang has a bright future, and they are not ordinary sisters-in-law."

What's more -

He is also the savior of the Tenth Prince!

I must tell the master about this tonight. It's so unexpected.

Not to mention that Pei Jian thinks highly of his daughter-in-law, even as Xiao Yinxiu's family, they have to take Song Guanzhou seriously for the sake of their two brothers and certainly not look down on him.

Aunt Chu answered yes and stepped back.

Aunt Lin came forward to continue serving Mrs. Min. Mrs. Min spoke more casually to her trusted aunt, "Chen'er, I'm afraid you are the least capable of the four sons of the master. I heard that he has several concubines now, not to mention concubines."

Aunt Lin laughed and said, "Oh, my wife, your son-in-law is already a prince, and you still think it's normal. If a man from a wealthy family like this really lives a proper life with a wife, it's hard to find one among thousands of couples. Even a poor man who doesn't even have a good thatched roof would think about buying a concubine and having more children, not to mention the prince."

...This is the way the world works.
