Chapter 97:
Before the master and servant arrived at Yixintang, they heard movement from the yard. The crying sound belonged to Fang'er, the reprimanding sound belonged to Princess Qingyang, and the occasional sound of accusation belonged to Wen Tingzhi.
Mrs. Wen's heart skipped a beat, and her pace quickened a bit.
Wen Tingzhi has been recuperating from his injuries for many days. Seeing that his injuries have recovered, he has never mentioned the matter of moving back to his yard. After all, the old lady loves her grandson very much, even if she doesn't like her grandson kissing me with a girl, she just allows them to turn a blind eye for the sake of the eldest grandson's recovery.
It's just that although she didn't admit it, she was really disappointed with her grandson in her heart. I didn't think it before, but recently, seeing it every day, I feel that the eldest grandson is really useless. Compared with that unpleasant second grandson, it's a bit worse.
No elder is willing to accept the incompetence of their children and grandchildren, let alone someone like her who wants to be strong. If it wasn't really depressed, she wouldn't be able to resist looking for Ye Ping.
It just relieved a little over there, but this time it was blocked again.
"My princess thought you were pregnant, and took good care of you. I thought I would give you a title after you gave birth, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient. You should know that when the Japanese princess married the eldest son On that day, Madam questioned the innocence of the fetus in your womb in front of all the guests. Where do you put Madam when you are so instigating my son?"
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she couldn't help but get angry.
What's going on every day!
"What's the noise! Don't you know that Brother Ting is recuperating?"
recuperating?
Princess Qingyang sneered, who could gain weight after recuperating? This good-for-nothing man is useless, he was kicked away by his cousin, and he still has the face to lie on the bed crying all day long.
"Grandmother, you came at a good time." She was not afraid of Mrs. Wen's cold face at all. Although she had not been married for long, she had already seen through everyone in the mansion. This grandmother seemed powerful but was actually useless. "On the day of the wedding, the mother questioned that Fang'er was not pregnant with the son of the prince. You heard this. Today, the prince said that he would promote her as a concubine. Isn't it ridiculous for you to say that?"
"I said she is innocent, and she is innocent." Wen Tingzhi yelled, as if he wanted to suppress Princess Qingyang's arrogance with his loud voice. "I want to ask the prince, how did he teach his daughter? I don't know the three obediences and the four virtues, I don't know the virtuous and virtuous, and I don't even know the etiquette, justice, and shame!"
"Brother Ting!" Mrs. Wen shouted loudly, her chest hurting sharply.
Men should not get involved in matters of the inner house. Princess Qingyang is the main wife, and Wan, the husband, has no reason to argue with the main wife because of a housemate. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be a crime of pampering a concubine and destroying a wife.
However, Wen Tingzhi became angry from embarrassment, and hated Princess Qingyang extremely. He has been favored since he was a child, and he has always regarded himself as the only one who respects himself. Even though he has the name of being modest and courteous, in fact he is not an approachable person at all, nor is he a tolerant person. Compared with the flamboyant and arrogant Princess Qingyang, he prefers a gentle and caring woman like Fang'er.
"Grandmother, don't you have the right to promote a concubine as the eldest son of my stately mansion?"
"The Princess is in charge of these matters, so there is no reason for you to intervene."
"Fang'er is pregnant with my child, so she should be promoted to a higher status."
When Princess Qingyang heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Grandmother, it's not that the granddaughter-in-law refuses to allow it. It's because my mother kept saying that Fang'er was ambiguous with a servant in the front yard. It's about the blood of the Duke's mansion. How can I be careless?"
"What's in her belly is my flesh and blood. As for what's in Princess Qingyang's belly..." Wen Tingzhi's eyes became extremely dark when he said this, his fire-breathing eyes wished to burn through Princess Qingyang's stomach. The belly in the third month of pregnancy is actually bigger than Fang'er's belly in the fourth month of pregnancy.
"On the night of the bridal chamber, the princess has fallen red as evidence. As for the stomach of the princess, the imperial doctor said that some people are easy to show their feelings, and some are not so obvious. These are all inaccurate."
Mrs. Wen's face was ugly, and her eyes were extremely complicated. It's not that she didn't doubt Princess Qingyang, but she was unwilling to admit such a thing.
Some people are easy to show their breasts, and they will indeed have bigger stomachs than others. Some people don’t show their breasts, and they can’t tell even if they are about to give birth. These alone really don’t explain anything.
But…
"Where is Madam? Is there anyone going to invite Madam?"
A woman replied, saying that the lady is out of the city today.
That Wang family has become more and more outrageous recently. The mistress of the dignified Duke's Mansion, leaving the whole family's troubles alone, ran out of the city to see a madman's daughter.
The seed in the girl's belly is unclear, and the child in the wife's belly is also very suspicious. What kind of crimes did her brother Ting do, and why did these things happen.
What she didn't know was that it was precisely because Mrs. Wen was not in the mansion that Wen Tingzhi dared to confront Princess Qingyang. If Mrs. Wen was here, she would not have allowed him to do this.
"My lord, the princess, it's not good to be a servant. Don't argue about it. You don't want to be a concubine. As long as you can serve your lord, your servant is willing to do anything." Fang'er had some confidence just now. Even if it is for the reputation of virtuousness, the princess will definitely agree. But she didn't know that Princess Qingyang was no longer the Princess Qingyang who had just entered the Duke's mansion. Princess Qingyang still had some expectations for Wen Tingzhi at that time. But the current Princess Qingyang has completely looked down on Wen Tingzhi, so how could he care about his face anymore.
"You were able to be kept that day because of the words of the princess. You will not forget how the son treated you that day, right? The princess advises you that some men are born incompetent, it is impossible Be your reliance. Rather than relying on such a man, it is better to rely on yourself."
Mrs. Wen didn't like to hear that.
"Princess, isn't that a little too much?"
"Grandmother thinks granddaughter-in-law's speech is unpleasant?" Princess Qingyang smiled slightly. "It's a pity that the princess can only tell the truth, and I really can't say anything nice."
"Zhao Ning, don't bully people too much! I want to see if the child in your womb can wait another seven months!"
Zhao Ning is the maiden name of Princess Qingyang.
The meaning of Wen Tingzhi's words is self-evident.
Unexpectedly, Princess Qingyang smiled instead of anger, "Your Majesty is really good at joking, everyone in Hejing doesn't know that you were born in the eighth month of your mother's pregnancy. Like a father, like a son, don't you think so?"
Wen Tingzhi's face turned livid with anger, this shameless bitch!
Mrs. Wen only felt severe brain pain, and her heart felt like a few boulders were blocked. Why is her most beloved grandson, the eldest grandson who has high hopes, like this?
Her breathing became short of breath, and her voice was rough and windy.
"You...you all get out of here!"
After saying this, she fainted.
After waking up, her son, daughter-in-law and eldest grandson didn't want to see any of them, and she was too embarrassed to send someone to invite Wen Yu and Ye Ping. For some reason, she finally remembered her married granddaughter.
Wen Ruqin has a kind personality, even if her grandmother didn't like her so much before, and now she is sick and wants her to accompany her, she is willing. But when Mrs. Wen proposed to let her stay in Yixintang for a few days, she hesitated.
Because she was told by Ye Ping when she came, she must not live in the Duke's mansion because of filial piety. She knows better than anyone else who is really good for her in this world. Apart from her parents, the person who loves and protects her the most is her second sister-in-law.
She will definitely listen to what the second sister-in-law says.
When she hesitated, Mrs. Wen became angry.
"Do you think I'm an old woman too?"
"No, grandma." Wen Ruqin was so anxious that sweat broke out on his smooth forehead. "Granddaughter... granddaughter is afraid of disturbing grandma..."
"I don't dislike you, you move your things here today."
"...Granddaughter, granddaughter hasn't discussed with Shizi and mother-in-law yet..."
"Filial piety is beyond heaven. If you want to be filial to your grandmother, can they stop you?"
"I...I..." Wen Ruqin became more and more anxious, she didn't know what to say.
At this time, the bead curtain was lifted, and Ye Ping came in.
Seeing her, Mrs. Wen was overjoyed at first, and then immediately pretended not to care. "How did you come?"
"Grandma is sick, how could I, the granddaughter-in-law, not come?"
"That's not what I begged you for."
"Yes, the daughter-in-law did it voluntarily." Ye Ping winked at Wen Ruqin, and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed while supporting her stomach, took the medicine bowl from Nurse Xi, and slowly fed the medicine to Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen was pleased with her heart, she still held on to her airs.
After feeding the medicine, Ye Ping said casually: "Xue Niang is a married woman, if she moves to the Duke's mansion, it will be inconvenient for Shen Shizi to come and go."
"What's the inconvenience?" Mrs. Wen's face darkened.
It is inconvenient for the granddaughter and grandson-in-law to go back to her mother's house for a few days. From her point of view, Ye Shi is narrow-minded and doesn't want to see Xue Niang getting close to her.
"Just now when my granddaughter-in-law came over, she saw Princess Qingyang dressed up beautifully. I thought she was visiting grandma, but I didn't think she was looking for Shen Shizi for something. I think Shen Shizi was extremely uncomfortable and retreated several times. step."
Mrs. Wen stared at Ye Ping with suspicious eyes.
Ye Ping didn't dodge either, and let her watch.
This is not a nonsense of my own, it is true.
After a while, Mrs. Wen was defeated and her face became more and more gloomy.
"That...that..."
"Grandmother, don't be angry, Shen Shizi is a good person, and he will never do anything that will be misunderstood. It's just that the princess is too informal. You have to teach her well in the future."
It goes without saying.
Mrs. Wen said in a bad mood: "You don't talk about these things in the future, so as not to be misunderstood."
"Granddaughter-in-law can save it."
This clarification made it clear, how dare Mrs. Wen let Wen Ruqin live in the Duke's Mansion. She is a person who cares about face, even if she knows that Princess Qingyang's behavior is inappropriate, the most important thing is to save the face of the Duke's Mansion.
Wen Ruqin let out a long sigh of relief as soon as he left the palace. She doesn't know why, but the current Duke's Mansion feels too oppressive to her, and she doesn't want to stay for a moment longer.
If it wasn't for the second sister-in-law to rescue her, she really didn't know how to reject her grandmother. Just as she was about to say something to Ye Ping, Mrs. Zeng came to report in a hurry, saying that Sixi, who was next to the second girl, had come.
Ye Ping's expression changed when he heard that Sixi had come to the door. Before Tingniang got married, she once confessed to Sixi that if there was anything wrong with Tingniang, she would ask Sixi to come to her immediately.
According to Sixi, Ye Ting vomited for two days in a row, and the doctor said that her stomach was ruined by eating.
After hearing this, Ye Ping's expression was serious, and she went out without thinking about changing clothes. When she went out, she had someone notify Wen Yu, so she almost arrived with Wen Yu Song Jinyuan, followed by an imperial physician.
Ye Ting was shocked when she saw her eldest sister coming over suddenly. Once she saw Sixi who said she had gone out on business and came back together, she knew that the eldest sister was found by Sixi, and she was like a child who did something wrong.
Her small face was pale, and she looked not much different from before. It was just a trivial matter like having a stomachache, but I didn't expect that not only my eldest sister was alarmed, but even my brother-in-law came, and the imperial doctor was also invited.
Thinking of this, a little embarrassment appeared on her pale face.
"Have you vomited yesterday?" Song Jinyuan asked as soon as he opened his mouth, but Tingniang didn't tell him about it.
"I thought it was a cold and stomach trouble." Ye Ting became more and more shy.
She has been weak since she was a child, and the most guilty thing is seeing her family worry about her health, and she can't bear to endure some minor illnesses and pains.
"Didn't I tell me, you have to tell me everything." The worry in Song Jinyuan's eyes was not fake, he was called back by Wen Yu. As a husband, he knew about such things from other people's mouths, so one can imagine how he felt.
The imperial doctor took Ye Ting's pulse carefully, and concluded that her stomach was damaged by eating, or she caught a cold, and her body is fine. She just needs to keep warm and eat well in the future.
Seeing off the imperial physician, Ye Ping still frowned.
She and Wen Yu looked at each other, they knew each other well.
For the wives who died in Song Jinyuan's previous life, the first symptoms were vomiting and dizziness, so Tingniang definitely didn't have a bad stomach or caught a cold.
Could it be that even if Song Jinyuan broke and changed his fate again, Tingniang still couldn't escape that fate? If this is the case, is it too late for Tingniang and Song Jinyuan to reconcile and leave?
With just one glance, Wen Yu knew what she was thinking.
Having recited Ye Ting, Ye Ping directly raised the matter of reconciliation with Song Jinyuan.
Song Jinyuan was shocked, "Didn't the imperial physician say it's all right?"
"Talk to him." Ye Ping threw the question to Wen Yu. Wen Yu made Song Jinyuan believe in fate before, and there will definitely be a way to convince Song Jinyuan about this matter.
Ye Ping's complexion was really not good. Although Wen Yu still looked cold, Song Jinyuan could see the seriousness of the matter from his eyes.
It shouldn't be.
Didn't Master Kong Ming say that there is no breaking and no building?
"Chengtian..." Song Jinyuan spoke with difficulty.
Wen Yu signaled Song Jinyuan to go out with him, and the two stood under a tree in front of the house. What Wen Yu was talking about was still the dream he made up before. He said that in that dream, the deaths of the wives of Song Jinyuan all had such symptoms, and then they gradually became thinner until they died.
Song Jinyuan found it hard to accept, "Didn't I break out of the house? Didn't I stand up again? The imperial doctor said it was fine, so why..."
He looked into the room with painful eyes, Ye Ping and Ye Ting sisters were talking.
Could it be that this shy and beautiful smile, delicate and beautiful woman who loves to blush really has nothing to do with him? He finally got married, finally had such a pleasing little wife, could he still not escape the so-called constraints of fate?
Why?
He couldn't figure out why God would do this to him. If he killed too much, why wasn't he the one who got retribution? He looked into the house for a while, and looked up at the sky for a while, with a tangled and painful expression.
Ye Ting in the room was blaming herself in a low voice, blaming herself for a minor illness, but it caused everyone to work hard for her. Speaking of shame, look outside from time to time.
"It's about your life, so you can't be too cautious," Ye Ping said.
"Isn't it just catching a cold and making a stomachache, why is it so serious?"
"Tingniang." Ye Ping suddenly changed her tone, and said solemnly: "If such a minor illness will endanger your life in the end, are you willing to divorce?"
Ye Ting's expression changed drastically. "Sister, I'm fine now..."
"Ting Niang, you are not well." Ye Ping's face became more serious, this was just the beginning. "You will become more and more serious, your body will gradually fail, and finally you will run out of oil. If you don't make up, you may die."
Ye Ting bit her lip, she believed that her eldest sister would always be for her best. It was precisely because she believed what the eldest sister said that she panicked and feared.
Why?
"Sister, can I... can I wait any longer. What if it's just a coincidence this time? If I recover from my illness, will I be fine?"
For the newlyweds, it was time for honey to be mixed with oil, and Ye Ping knew that Tingniang would find it difficult to accept it for a while. But for Tingniang's life, she believed that Song Jinyuan would agree.
When Song Jinyuan came in, his expression said it all.
He has already decided to let Tingniang go home today.
Ye Ting resisted crying, her eyes were always red.
Near noon, she endured her sorrow and ordered her servants to prepare meals.
Ye Ping and Wen Yu did not refuse, and stayed for dinner together. This meal should be the breakup meal of their husband and wife, who made them fail to fight their fate in the end.
The food is very rich, but few people have no appetite. The servants set up the tablecloths and chopsticks, and in front of Song Jinyuan and Ye Ting were a pair of exquisitely crafted dragon and phoenix silver bowls.
The ancestor of the Song family used to be a beggar. Back then, the emperor personally gave him a pair of dragon and phoenix golden bowls, implying that if there is a mouthful for the Tian family, the Song family is indispensable. The Song family is proud of this, and the elders will give a pair of dragon and phoenix silver bowls to the children of the family after they get married.
Seeing the silver bowl in front of Ye Ting, Ye Ping's heart moved slightly.
She got up and went over, holding the silver bowl in her hand. The workmanship of the silver bowl is exquisite, not only the phoenix pattern is cast on it, but also the words Wealth and Noble Same Heaven, which shows that the Emperor Shengzu valued the Song family at the beginning.
Everyone looked at her, she weighed the bowl in her hands, and picked up the bowl in front of Song Jinyuan.
Song Jinyuan held his breath, "This bowl was made by my grandmother..."
With the two bowls in hand, there seems to be a slight difference in weight, and the one with the phoenix pattern is obviously brighter. Suddenly Ye Ping lifted up the silver bowl with phoenix pattern and threw it heavily on the ground. The silver bowl was rolled around and remained intact.
"Ting Niang, come here."
Not knowing why, Ye Ting took the silver bowl.
"Sister, this is from my husband's grandmother..."
"You just throw it!"
Ye Ting didn't dare to have any objection, under a forceful force, the silver bowl with phoenix pattern cracked in two!
