Chapter 182: 182 Disposal (Second Update)
Chapter 182 182 Disposal (second update)
Mrs. Mu Guogong said coldly to the wife: "In-laws, if someone didn't know this, they would think that we wanted to separate their mother and daughter!"
The madam's expression froze for a moment, then she forced out a smile and continued to finish her words: "...let these two girls go to their respective places."
"But in-laws, Ah Zhi, Jiang Minshan has a good family background and cannot be sold. How about I make the decision and let her go to Gu Jing'an to be tonsured? What do you think?"
The madam thought she had taken a big step back.
Not wanting to, Mrs. Shen sneered.
Shave? ! That would be too cheap Jiang Minshan!
"Just don't dirty the nunnery." Shen said softly.
Hu Bo, who was behind Chu Qianchen, almost laughed when she heard this. She felt that the eldest lady's words were really amazing.
In her heart, Mrs. Shen wished she could cut Aunt Jiang into pieces, but she told herself that there was no rush, and she would have to wait until Chu Lingxiao came back from the northwest.
Since these two **** are so deeply in love and love each other so much, they should go on the road together, lest it be difficult for them to reunite in the underworld.
Aunt Jiang, who was kneeling down, was still holding Chu Qianhuang, sobbing and sobbing. The mother and daughter hugged each other, head to head, body to body, crying and wailing, as if they had been greatly wronged. , as if it was a huge injustice.
Who is this acting for? Mrs. Mu Guogong looked at the mother and daughter with a mocking look, and suggested to Shen: "Azhi, I heard that the Ministry of War is recruiting women in coats recently."
The wash clothes girls used by the Ministry of War are not ordinary wash clothes girls. They are specially used to wash clothes for soldiers in the military camp. They are usually slave girls, but some girls from good families are also hired. This job does not pay much. It’s tiring. Most women would not choose to do such errands if they had embroidery work or other cleaning errands available. For Aunt Jiang, who has been pampered all her life, it is even more tiring.
Chu Lingxiao left for the northwest and would definitely not be able to come back within a month or two. During this period, he continued to raise Aunt Jiang pamperedly. Mrs. Mu Guogong really couldn't swallow this feeling.
When Aunt Jiang heard this, she stiffened, held Chu Qianhuang's hand tightly with one hand, and looked at her pleadingly.
Those tearful eyes were hesitant to speak, and hot tears fell on their intertwined hands.
Chu Qianhuang silently wiped away Aunt Jiang's tears with a handkerchief.
Chu Qianchen didn't have any sympathy for Aunt Jiang. No matter in her previous life or in this life, Aunt Jiang had never educated her, so naturally she couldn't be called an adoptive mother.
If anything, Aunt Jiang is just her prison boss.
Chu Qianchen's fingers caressed the ring on his waist, and he said calmly: "Grandma, mother, I think the wages earned from this should be given to Shantang. It can also be considered as a way to accumulate some virtue for the Chu family."
When he talked about "accumulating virtue for the Chu family," Chu Qianchen had a slight smile on his face.
These words were extremely harsh to the ears of the Madam, and her face darkened again. She felt that Chu Qianchen was really cold-hearted, unlike Chu Qianhuang...
Looking at Chu Qianhuang wiping Aunt Jiang's tears in front of her, Mrs. Tai's heart was touched and she felt that this Sister Huang was still humane.
Alas, Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart. She didn't care about Aunt Jiang, she only felt pity for Chu Qianhuang, and she even cared about the face of the Hou family.
"That's a good idea." Mrs. Mu Guogong nodded, feeling that her granddaughter's idea was very close to her heart.
Shen also nodded. She felt that she had wronged Chu Qianchen so much. Even if Chu Qianchen wanted the stars in the sky, she would try to pick them for her.
Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly. At this moment, the heavy rain outside the house begins to gradually lighten up.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..."
The sound of rain fell continuously, and even the air became much clearer due to the washing of rain.
"This..." Madam Tai opened her lips slightly, wanting to say no, it would be too embarrassing for the Marquis.
Especially if this matter spreads, outsiders may think that the Hou Mansion cannot make ends meet and relies on an aunt to do odd jobs to make money.
However, seeing Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mrs. Shen's resolute attitude, Mrs. Tai couldn't express her objections after all, so she just said to herself, that's all. Shen is still angry now.
Mrs. Shen could naturally see Mrs. Tai's hesitation and compromise, but pretended not to see it.
Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for many years, but Shen still doesn't understand her mother-in-law. She is just a bully who is afraid of the strong. She only cares about the face of the so-called Hou family and has no regard for blood and family ties at all.
However, Mrs. Shen did not trust the Chu family to handle this matter, and directly ordered Grandma Chen to handle it herself.
Then, Mrs. Shen looked at Mrs. Tai again and asked, "Mother, when will the ancestral hall be opened?"
Shen now just wants to implement this matter as soon as possible and let Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang return to their respective places.
As long as she thinks of the suffering Chu Qianchen has suffered in the past ten years, and that Chu Qianhuang may be related to the incident of Chu Yunmu falling off the rockery, Mrs. Shen feels as if her heart is being burned by fire, and she cannot wait for a moment longer. .
Madam: “…”
The corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes twitched and her eyes were confused.
She really felt that it was pointless to exchange Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen back now that it had been over ten years, so why not just turn a blind eye.
Chu Qianhuang is not married yet. From the eldest daughter to the eldest daughter of a concubine, what kind of good marriage can she find?
The more Mrs. Tai thinks about it, the more she feels sorry for Chu Qianhuang. She has never complained about her since the incident. She neither blames Shen for being ruthless nor blames Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang. Instead, she has been comforting Aunt Jiang. .
This girl is really having a hard time!
Mrs. Tai felt sad in her heart, lamenting that Chu Qianhuang had to deal with such a biological mother and adoptive mother. Whether it was Mrs. Shen or Aunt Jiang, they were all unable to express themselves. She only thought about herself.
Mrs. Tai was even more disgusted with Mrs. Shen and Aunt Jiang, but she still had a smile on her face and persuaded Mrs. Shen nicely: "Azhi, this matter is of great importance. We have to wait until Ling Xiao comes back from the northwest."
The madam had her own plans in mind.
Now Shen is angry, but as husband and wife, and they have two children, Shen must miss Chu Yunmu. By the time the eldest son comes back from the northwest, Shen will have calmed down and ask the eldest son to bow his head and speak politely. If they admit their mistake, coax Ms. Shen, and then clear up their relationship with Jiang Minshan, who is always provocative, the couple can get back together.
Before the eldest son comes back, she can also let Chu Qianhuang go to the Duke's Mansion more. After all, this child is the daughter raised by the Shen family since she was a child. Her body has the eldest son's blood flowing in her body. She is also a child of the Chu family. If she wants to call Shen The surname is the mother!
Is blood relationship really that important? !
In her heart, Mrs. Shen looked down upon Shen's reluctance. She felt that she was petty and did not have the bearing of a clan wife.
Fortunately, she was still the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's palace, and she didn't think about the overall situation. Even if Chu Qianchen was Shen's biological daughter, she still had another identity that couldn't be changed. She was already Princess Chen. It didn't matter that Chu Qianchen was a concubine. If she were a legitimate daughter, they would never be able to separate themselves from the Yongding Hou Mansion and the Chen Prince Mansion.
The madam clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand in embarrassment.
She had just agreed to Shen's intention to open an ancestral hall and change the family tree, but she just wanted to delay it and didn't want Shen to be in such a hurry.
"Azhi, listen to me." Mrs. Shen patiently reasoned with Shen, "Ling Xiao is the father of two children. If he is not here, you and I will talk about this matter personally. The clan leader and clan elders will also If you don’t agree to open the ancestral hall immediately, you must wait for Ling Xiao to come back and let him witness it in person. "
Shen didn't even want to wait for a moment, and when she wanted to say something, she felt her cuffs tighten.
Out of the corner of her eye, she realized that Chu Qianchen was using the cover of the coffee table to pull her up quietly.
Chu Qianchen immediately retracted his hand, went to pick up the tea cup as if nothing had happened, and smiled at Mrs. Shen.
This smile made Shen calm down immediately.
Shen barely suppressed the noisy emotions in her body and responded: "Okay, let's wait until Chu Lingxiao comes back."
The madam breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again. She felt that Mrs. Shen was getting more and more disgraceful, and she even called her husband by his first name.
Immediately afterwards, she heard Mrs. Shen say again: "Dongmei, you go and clean up my yard."
The anger in the madam's heart became even more intense, making the cheeks at the corners of her mouth tighten.
She had retreated again and again, and even Jiang Minshan was at Shen's disposal, but Shen was still aggressive.
As an ancestor of the Hou family, her descendants all treated her respectfully, whether her husband was alive or widowed all these years. Her life has always been going smoothly. Today, she felt all the anger she had not suffered for decades. .
She didn't want to waste any more words on Mrs. Shen, so she didn't keep Mrs. Shen. Anyway, Mrs. Shen would return to the Marquis Mansion sooner or later, so it would be better for her to calm down at her parents' house.
It's not like the Hou Mansion can't live without her, Shen Zhi!
The madam said calmly: "You might as well go back to your parents' house to relax."
At this moment, Grandma Chen came in with a few big-bodied women.
Aunt Chen sneered and said to Aunt Jiang: "Aunt Jiang, go with this slave."
Aunt Jiang shrank and tried to hide behind Chu Qianhuang. Her jade teeth bit her lower lip and made a row of deep tooth marks, and the crystal tears fell from her eyes.
One of the women said with a smile: "Aunt Jiang, this servant is not a serious person. If you don't get up, I will be sorry if I hurt you."
These ladies were all servants of the Duke's palace, so they didn't have to worry about the Dowager's face, so they just made a move as they spoke.
One woman pushed Chu Qianhuang away vigorously, while the other two women roughly dragged Aunt Jiang up from the ground and clamped her left and right.
"Aunt..."
Chu Qianhuang was blocked by the cross-armed woman and looked at Aunt Jiang helplessly.
She wanted to step forward, but Nanny Chen stood forward and stood between her and Aunt Jiang.
Chu Qianhuang turned to look at the madam again and called "grandma" in a panic. She was confused.
"Aunt... um." Aunt Jiang still wanted to call out, but those women would not let her make trouble, so they immediately blocked her mouth with a handkerchief and dragged Aunt Jiang out of the main hall with quick movements.
No matter how hard Aunt Jiang struggled, her slender arms could not break away from these women who were used to doing menial work. During the struggle, her clothes were slightly loose and most of her bun came loose, making her look as embarrassed as a mad woman.
"Hmm..."
Aunt Jiang looked at Mr. Shen with a malicious look, as sinister as an owl, and her usually smooth and beautiful face looked completely different at this moment.
Soon, she was dragged away by her mother-in-law.
Chu Qianhuang was left standing there in panic, his eyes filled with tears that were about to fall.
She looked at Madam Tai, at Mrs. Shen, and then at Mrs. Mu Guogong. She seemed to want to get close to them, but she was afraid to go there, like an abandoned cub.
Seeing Chu Qianhuang like this, Mrs. Mu Guogong felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't bear it, and secretly said that she had sinned.
Mrs. Mu Guogong felt sad, after all, Chu Qianhuang was just a girl under fourteen years old.
Once upon a time, she was the eldest daughter of a high-ranking Hou family. Suddenly, she fell from the clouds. No wonder she didn't know how to deal with herself. She was obsessed with entering the palace and becoming the princess's companion. Maybe she also wanted to avoid this family. mean.
Although Mrs. Mu Guogong sympathized and felt sorry for Chu Qianhuang in her heart, she still couldn't bear the importance of it.
Chu Qianhuang was innocent, but Chu Qianchen was even more innocent.
In the past fourteen years, Chu Qianhuang has lived a life of gold and jade, like stars over the moon. She has been enjoying things that should not belong to her, but Chu Qianchen has been stepped into the dust because of this. Chu Lingxiao and Although Aunt Jiang has not beaten or scolded her for so many years, she has been suppressing and humiliating her in a more cruel way. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is killing without blood.
If she sympathized with Chu Qianhuang's experience, where would she put Chu Qianchen, who had suffered for so many years, and not let this girl get hurt again?
Chu Qianhuang just returned to where she should be.
Mrs. Mu Guogong suppressed her pity for Chu Qianhuang and avoided her eyes.
Her look was tantamount to rejection.
I still want a monthly pass~
