Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

"Isn't this... a secret?" Li Xinran asked hesitantly.

The eldest princess smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Of course not, how could this be a secret? Your grandfather Li Chun had two wives. The first one was from the Chu family in Jiangzhou. However, the Chu family was unlucky and died in childbirth, and then he Married your current grandmother Zhu. What’s wrong?”

Li Xinran smiled: "Nothing, I just talked about my ancestors with my family recently, and found that a grandma once mentioned Chu's grandmother, but she quickly became silent again. Xinran was curious and couldn't find out at home, so he came to ask the eldest princess for an explanation. Curious in my heart.”

The eldest princess's eyes became a little deep, and she looked at Li Xinran with a little inquiry. Li Xinran was sitting in her seat, smiling and squinting her almond-shaped eyes. She looked gentle and virtuous, and could not tell anything.

The eldest princess smiled slightly and did not delve into it further. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Then Xinran, do you have any questions you want to ask me?"

"Yes," Li Xinran smiled sweetly, as if she was really just a curious little girl secretly inquiring about gossip from her close elders, "I wonder if the eldest princess can tell me, my Chu What kind of person is my grandmother? She and my old lady are cousins. I wonder if they are similar?"

The eldest princess smiled lovingly and looked out the door, her eyes becoming nostalgic and deep: "Ms. Chu... that is a gentle and generous woman, but with a heroic appearance."

The Chu family is the legitimate daughter of the Chu family in Jiangzhou, named Chu Tinglan. The Chu family in Jiangzhou is a wealthy family and is the one most people want to marry.

At that time, Li Chun was just a young general with the support of his father, the deputy general.

The encounter between Chu Tinglan and Li Chun originated from a hero saving a beauty.

The young general in white robe passed by the foot of the mountain and heard the girl's cry for help. He stepped on his horse and picked up his gun, single-handedly killing a group of thieves.

At that time, all the members of Chu Tinglan's family were dead, leaving only her and her personal maid Qiao'er hugging each other, huddled in the corner of the carriage and shivering.

The call for help was made by Chu Tinglan when the thieves discovered the traces of Chu Tinglan and were about to drag her and Qiaoer down. By chance, it was heard by Li Chun who was passing by, and he came in time to save them. .

The young man in white robe descended from the sky, danced a spear so superbly that water could not splash into it, like a silver dragon, and killed all the thieves who threatened them.

For a young girl who has just begun to have love, this is like a god coming down to earth.

Chu Tinglan, who had always followed the rules, was gentle and virtuous, had her own ideas for the first time, proposed her ideas to her parents for the first time, disobeyed her parents' orders for the first time and did not want to marry the person her parents favored.

The Chu family's parents still loved their daughter, and besides, Li Chun was well-behaved, serious, and hard-working. Except for her lower family status, everything else was within the acceptable range of the Chu family's parents.

Chu Tinglan resisted weakly and the Chu family's parents symbolically opposed it. After Li Chun showed them his determination and ability for the first time, the Chu family's parents also half-heartedly agreed.

A marriage with the wrong family is a big gamble, but Chu Tinglan made the right bet.

On the second day after they got married, Xirong invaded, and Li Chun went out with the army. Not only did he come back alive, but he also commanded the army himself because of his superior performance, winning two levels in a row.

Xirong's invasion was not over, so Li Chun stayed at the border every day. Chu Tinglan was numb after hearing the reward, and the reward was merciless.As the saying goes, if you are poor in the busy city and have no one to care about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives.

Li Chun's success attracted the attention of countless people. This white-robed young man with a spear like a dragon began to be frequently mentioned in upper-level gatherings. At the same time, he also brought with him those who could not be driven away or thrown away. Butterflies and bees.

But when she became pregnant and her family sent Zhu to the Li Mansion on the pretext of helping her, Chu Tinglan's stable mentality was finally broken.

She knew what her family meant by sending Zhu here, but who could accept it? She was so focused on it, and all she could see was that her husband was being shared with another person, who was still her aunt and cousin.

Chu Tinglan's books from childhood to college included books such as "Nv's Precepts" and "Nv's Training" in addition to "Three Character Classic" and "Tao Te Ching".

From the first page to the last page, these books are full of words about virtue, and every line flaunts a woman's greatest advantage, which is generosity.

In other words, based on universal values ​​and Chu Tinglan's own self-comfort, it is a woman's excellent moral character to keep a concubine for her husband when she is pregnant.

But her cousin was coming to be a concubine, which really broke Chu Tinglan's psychological defense.

On one side are universal values, on the other side are the grievances I have suffered.

In addition, during pregnancy, it is easy to lose control of emotions and lose hope of survival.

Chu Tinglan became pregnant and turned from a charming young lady loved by everyone into a hysterical crazy woman.

When talking about this, the eldest princess added hesitantly: "The following things were spread among the people after Chu passed away. But at that time, Chu rarely attended our banquets. Even if she went out, she would not attend our banquets. She never brings Zhu to accompany her, only her maid Qiaoer."

Li Xinran pondered for a moment and asked: "May I ask if the eldest princess knows where Chu's maid went after her grandmother died?"

The eldest princess thought about it carefully and said: "I didn't pay much attention to this. There will always be some turnover of people in various mansions in Kyoto from time to time. However, after the death of the Chu family, Qiaoer seldom or almost never appeared in front of people. .”

"Thank you, eldest princess." Li Xinran stood up and blessed her, and then asked, "then eldest princess, does she know who is the man who often visits my house? We are short of manpower in the hospital and want to contact him. Please prepare some useful information. At the edge of the eye.”

The eldest princess smiled: "What's so difficult about this?"

Taking the address given by Princess Dachang, Li Xinran walked to a relatively remote place.

The outskirts of the city are relatively remote, the rent is low, and it is easier for people to raise children.

He signaled Mu Yi to come forward and knock on the door, and then said: "Who is it?" The door creaked open, and behind the door was a man with a mustache and a glint in his eyes.

"Who are these noble people looking for?"

The mustache bowed his head and bowed, looking particularly respectful.

"Are you from Zhao Zhongren?" Li Xinran looked his mustache up and down.

"Of course, who are you, miss?"

Zhao Zhongren smiled flatteringly and asked hesitantly.

"Li Xinran of Li Mansion, daughter of Li Song." Li Xinran said her name easily.

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Li. I'm so ignorant that I can't see Taishan. I hope Miss Li can forgive me."

Zhao Zhongren's head and back bent even lower.

"I can't say you're unforgiving, but are you going to let me discuss business with you at the door?"

Li Xinran ignored his flattery and said directly.
