Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Mrs. Shen took the people to the front hall to take their seats, waiting for the banquet to begin.

After leaving the table for a while, everyone gathered around and chatted.

Mrs. Shen looked at the people in Duke Dingguo's mansion opposite, "Why don't you see the second girl this time?"

The second lady's mouth froze almost imperceptibly after hearing this, "Yawei's husband will take part in the examination next month, and she can't leave. Our uncle has no one around him except Yawei. If he leaves her, he will not be able to leave her." I can’t calm down.”

"So that's it. The examination is a big deal and you must not be distracted." Mrs. Shen said warmly, "The second girl has found a good husband. The harmony between the young couple is more important than anything else."

"Mrs. Shen's words are true. Our relationship with Yawei and my uncle has been very good since we got married." After finishing speaking, the second lady took a sip of the tea in front of her.

At this time, a lady from a branch of the Shen family said, "Isn't Mrs. Cui's second uncle the eldest grandson of Mr. Song, the Minister of Civil Affairs?"

"Exactly." The second lady put down the tea cup and mentioned her daughter's husband's family. She was still very satisfied.

"That's no wonder. The Song family comes from a scholarly family, has a pure family tradition, and doesn't have so many troubles." After the lady praised her, she changed the subject, "But I seem to have heard that Mr. Song has already participated in the examination once, but unfortunately he failed. …”

Mrs. Shen saw the second lady's face change color, and quickly interrupted, "This examination is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. There are only a few people who can win the first place in one fell swoop. If you participate twice or three times, it will be the same." It's a common thing. Mr. Song is still young. With the experience last time, he will definitely be able to go to high school this year. Second Madam, just wait for the good news with peace of mind. "

The expression of the second lady's face softened slightly, but the lady just now said bluntly: "Sister-in-law is right, but there are many people who have won the first place in one fell swoop, not to mention the ones from far away, isn't our Zhi Ming the one? Not only did he win, but he also The number one scholar will bring glory to our Shen family."

She was talking enthusiastically, but she didn't notice Mrs. Shen winking at her. She turned her eyes and saw the eldest lady, "By the way, there is also the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, who won the title of Wu Tanhua and He was born as a Jinshi, a genuine scholar with both civil and military skills..."

"Ahem -" Seeing the second lady's face getting darker and darker, Mrs. Shen quickly coughed, stood up and pulled her up in front of the lady, "Brother and sister, come and help me see how the banquet is being prepared. "

"Everyone, sit down for a moment, I'll be with you soon." Mrs. Shen turned around and said apologetically, then pulled the lady and walked out.

The people at several tables in the hall suddenly became quiet, and their eyes quietly turned to the second lady.

The second lady's hands were tightly clasped together under the table. Back then, Yawei fell in love with Song Shaoheng and tried her best to finally get her wish. When the two families were discussing marriage, Song Shaoheng failed not long ago. Although she was sorry, she really didn't think it was anything.

But when she heard someone say it on such an occasion, she really couldn't keep it off her face.

Originally, she didn't want to come today and planned to ask her daughter-in-law Bai to take her place.

But early in the morning, Mrs. Bai came crying and complained, saying that Qi Shao had rested in her room last night. As soon as the two of them fell asleep, Wan Xiaoniang asked the maid next to her to invite Qi Shao over.

Qi Shao favored Wan Xiaoniang and went to the first wife less and less often. It was because Wan Xiaoniang was pregnant that he remembered that he had a legitimate wife.

The second lady started to have a headache again when she thought of this. Qi Shao now only had one legitimate daughter. She had persuaded him more than once to go to Bai's house more often and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible, so that the eldest grandson of Duke Dingguo's mansion would be their second wife. Yes.

However, Qi Shao turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to hang out with that charming concubine all day long. Fortunately, there was no movement in Bai's belly, but her concubine was pregnant.

It was supposed to be a happy event, but the second lady couldn't be happy. She thought that if Wan Xiaoniang was pregnant with a son, then Qi Shao would have the eldest son first. It's not like the Bai family is infertile, so people will inevitably make irresponsible remarks if word spreads about it.

But she turned around and thought again, even if he is a concubine, he is still the first male in Dingguo Duke's house, which is much better than the eldest son whose marriage has not yet been decided.

So in the morning, the second lady not only didn't go to Bai, but also scolded her, saying that she didn't have the magnanimity that the first wife should have, and she was sour and jealous over this matter. Let her put Qi Shao's heir first, take care of Wan Xiaoniang's daily life, and let her child be born safely.

Mrs. Bai shed tears of grievance. The second lady felt angry and kicked her out directly.

The Bai family was useless, so the second lady had to come to the Shen family by herself. After all, the eldest brother had to give her face, and their second wife had to show up.

The main reason why the second lady didn't want to come to the full moon ceremony was because of Cui Yawei.

Cui Yawei got married two months earlier than Cui Yaying. Now seeing that Cui Yaying's son is one month old, Cui Yawei is not pregnant yet.

When she first learned that Cui Yaying was pregnant, the second lady began to worry about her daughter and called her back to ask her.

Cui Yawei was also anxious, but she blushed and said that Song Shaoheng was only focused on avenging his shame through this meeting and did not care about the affairs between the couple.

The second wife nagged her after hearing about it, but she couldn't even control her biological son, let alone her uncle. She could only say a few words, but she couldn't reach the Song family.

Finally, I comforted myself and my daughter. Fortunately, the time for the national examination was not far away, so I had to wait for another year. When my uncle reaches high school and is in a good mood, he will naturally think about his children.

As the exam approached, the second lady felt anxious and went to the temple several times just to burn incense. Pray that Song Shaoheng must go to high school this time, otherwise Yawei will have to wait another three years?

This was of course absolutely impossible. Yawei refused to come, not because Song Shaoheng couldn't leave her, but because she didn't want to see Yaying looking so happy as a mother.

The lady's unintentional words just now brought out the hidden anxiety of the second lady.

Zhou was the first to break the silence. She stood up and stroked her sleeves, "It seems it will be a while before we leave the table. I'll go out and get some fresh air."

Zhou glanced at where the eldest lady and others were with a faint smile, then turned around and walked out with her chin raised high.

As soon as she started, the winking wife of the Shen family at the table began to change the topic and started chatting with everyone.

Mrs. Zhou left the front hall and did not go far. Instead, she stood on the verandah admiring the flowers planted not far away.

Recalling the expression on the second lady's face just now, Mrs. Zhou felt much relieved at the moment when she was angry with the eldest lady.

Although she was not the wife of Duke Dingguo, she was still a member of Duke Dingguo's palace. Seeing them unhappy made her happy.

The bottom of everyone's pot is always dark. It's good that she's not the only one who has troubles.

When her plan failed, Ms. Zhou was thinking about how to stop Lu Siheng from hooking up with the Dong family, when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"It turns out that Madam Hou is breathing some air here."

When Zhou heard the voice, she turned around and was slightly surprised to see the person coming, "The Lord of Qingyun County?"
