Chapter 675: Taking the Lead, the Charitable Second Uncle?

"What?" The lady raised her head in astonishment and stared at Duke Xingguo in surprise, almost unable to believe her ears.

"Mother, I say we should let her go to a nunnery to become a monk. She is no longer able to take charge of the affairs of our palace. The affairs of the inner courtyard will be left to my younger siblings. I can only ask my mother to give me some guidance!"

Duke Xingguo said coldly.

"This...this...how is it possible? She is the Mrs. Xingguo who your famous matchmaker is marrying! Why are you so cruel!" Mrs. Tai said anxiously. Mrs. Xingguo has been raised under her knees since she was a child, and she is in love with her. Her status was extraordinary. She was both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and equal to mother and daughter. How could she be willing to let her be driven to the nunnery like this?

If you go to the nunnery to practice spiritual cultivation, you may never come out in your lifetime!

"Does mother want the entire Xingguo Palace to be implicated by her? Mother must have heard the rumors outside. Now the whole capital is talking about our Xingguo Palace. If mother wants to protect her, then our entire Xingguo Palace They will all fall into the mud, and my son will not be able to gain a foothold in the court. No matter what happens, if others catch me doing this mistake, I will be speechless!"

Duke Xingguo said coldly, with a cold look in his eyes. No one thought that this kind-hearted Duke Xingguo would be so decisive. If he didn't take action, he would be his own. Once he took action, it would be the final decision!

"But...but she is different. She gave birth to children for you, worked hard for you, and everything she did was for you...even if you don't care about her, but for the sake of the two children, You shouldn't just finish the job like this!" The madam said in a trembling voice.

"Mother, I have been completely benevolent to her. She has the final say in everything in this house. Even my son's concubines are all allowed to be beaten, scolded and sold by her. Now that the matter has reached this level, It is also her own fault. Although the Queen Mother only sent a ruler, if we handle it unreasonably, not only the Queen Mother will not stand idly by, but neither will the Emperor!"

Duke Xingguo stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead and said, he was also really upset. No one expected that things would suddenly break out, and once they broke out, they would show an uncontrollable trend. If we can't stop now, it would be a good thing. No, I have no face to gain a foothold in the court.

Naturally, he was unwilling to quit the court just like that. It was impossible for many years of planning to fail just because of this!

"But...but..." Mrs. Tai still wanted to speak, but was interrupted rudely by Duke Xingguo, "Mother, if I don't take care of my two children, I won't let her go to Qingxiu, but I will divorce her directly. , so that she will not lose the face of our Duke Xingguo, now we just ask her to go to Qingxiu, which is to take care of the two children."

He has a son and a daughter. What he pays most attention to now is not his son, but his daughter. This daughter will be soaring to the sky, and he cannot let her be ruined.

"Don't go to the nunnery to do it. You can do it in the ancestral hall. From now on, just focus on doing it in the ancestral hall. As you said, let your sister-in-law handle the affairs of the house!"

The madam must have experienced the storm after all, so she gritted her teeth and accepted the matter.

Although the ancestral hall in the mansion is also under renovation and has always been closed inside, it is still in the mansion. Sometimes the children can always visit their mothers. It is better than relegating themselves to an unknown nunnery. Not just tens of millions of times.

Mrs. Etai knew from her second son's knowledge that her son had murderous intentions. If he really got the person out, he might not even know how he died.

She chose this second daughter-in-law herself, and she was the one who suited her best. Initially, she was originally intended to be the eldest daughter-in-law, but later she became the daughter-in-law of her second son by accident. Fortunately, she was able to become the wife of Duke Xingguo in the end. It was true that she wanted her in vain, but in this situation, there was nothing she could do.

"Mother, staying here may not be a blessing!" Duke Xingguo glanced at his wife and said coldly.

"You have to take care of the wishes of the two children!" The madam frowned and refused to let go.

"Since that's what mother means, let her stay. From now on, let her meditate in the ancestral hall. As for outside matters, blame her on her, so as not to ruin the reputation of Ru'er and others!" Duke Xingguo He said decisively, stood up and shook the sleeves of his robe, "Mother, I'm going to see her. She has to take responsibility for this matter herself!"

"This... all these things are being blamed on her... this is not good..." the madam said fearfully.

"Then who else does mother think can take on these responsibilities? Ru'er or you?" Xingguo Gong looked at his wife coldly and asked.

The lady who asked this question choked up and gritted her teeth for a long time: "Let's do it, but she must be willing to do it, otherwise she will cause trouble again!"

"Don't worry, mother, this child is also her own. Besides, she didn't do any of these things, even if she wants to blame others!" Xingguo Gong said coldly.

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the ancestral hall. This was the best way at the moment. At least it could minimize the harm of the matter, but the matters in the inner courtyard had nothing to do with him.

There are some things that he doesn't want to be noticed by others, and he is even more worried that someone will investigate them. Since it has already passed, it will be dust and dust, so there is no need to find out again and cause trouble.

The prosperity of Duke Xingguo's mansion cannot be destroyed in the inner court. The behavior of Duke Xingguo's wife is a short-sighted behavior in Duke Xingguo's view. It doesn't matter if a girl is of his eldest brother's blood. The one who should be dealt with now is not Shao. Like such a girl.

…

Shao Wanru saw his second uncle, Duke Xingguo, standing at the door of the ancestral hall, stepped back, gave way to the door, and then turned sideways and saluted: "Second uncle!"

Even though she lives in the mansion now, she has only met this second uncle two or three times, but his appearance and behavior are still easy to identify. His chubby round face should look kind. But just now there was a hint of sinisterness between his eyebrows.

When he saw Shao Wanru, he smiled and looked much kinder.

"Why are you here?" Xingguo Gong asked in a gentle voice. He looked at the ancestral hall on one side. There were lamps and candles thrown out from the door of the ancestral hall and smashed on the ground, creating a mess. At a glance, it was clear that the people inside had deliberately thrown them out. , his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

"I came to see the second aunt. I want to ask the second aunt... what she meant by what she said before!" Shao Wanru said softly, his head lowered, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the meaning of his words was elusive.

Mrs. Xingguo Gong was imprisoned in the ancestral hall not because she said something wrong, saying that Shao Wanru and her sister were not of the blood of Xingguo Gong's son.

"What you said before was just nonsense from your second aunt. She has always had a quarrel with your mother and was jealous of your mother. She has not tried to pass it on for so many years. Now she still treats you like this. It's because the second uncle is not good and thinks she will be fair. He is the one who handles matters in the inner court!" Duke Xingguo sighed and gently comforted Shao Wanru.

His face was sad and sad, his eyes fell on Shao Wanru, as if he was looking at his brother through Shao Wanru, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips: "You and your father are really similar. If the eldest brother is here, see A pair of children who look so much like him should be very happy."

This is equivalent to acknowledging Shao Wanru's identity in disguise and putting all the responsibilities on Mrs. Xingguo. Shao Wanru calmly took another step back and nodded softly: "Thank you, second uncle. Since the second uncle Uncle said so, then I will go back first, grandma is changing the furniture in the house for me!"

"Go ahead. If something goes wrong, just tell your second uncle. You can also tell your third aunt. From now on, your third aunt will be in charge of the affairs in this mansion!" Duke Xingguo nodded with a calm look.

Shao Wanru bowed sideways again, and then slowly left. She narrowed her eyes slightly. She understood the meaning of these words. Mrs. Xingguo had lost power and could not even control the inner courtyard. She should be closed because of her reputation as a Qingxiu. He got up, but he didn't know whether to lock him up in the house or send him to another place.

"Miss, how did you guess that Duke Guo would come here!" After they were far away, Yu Jie lowered her voice and said. Just now, when they came over, they made Duke Xing Guo angry and threw all the debris in the ancestral hall. of.

"When something like this happens, it has to be dealt with, and someone has to take the blame, but it has to be someone who is willing to take the blame!" Shao Wanru fluttered his long eyelashes twice, and said in a low voice, his face became heavy, even though it was only a short time ago. Two sentences, but you can tell that your second uncle is not simple.

It’s not as friendly as it appears on the outside!

He didn't say much in a few words, but he always took the lead, as if everything was in his hands. Shao Wanru rarely felt this feeling in others, except for Chu Liuchen, but his second Shuyou and Chu Liuchen seemed to be a little different, but for a moment they couldn't tell what the difference was.

He took the initiative, but only suppressed it secretly. This method was a bit too much for the inner court. If it were a direct thunderous method, I am afraid that I would not be able to take over. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, and I should be more careful in my future actions.

"Miss, will the Duke let his wife take the blame?" Yu Jie said worriedly.

"Of course I will. If you don't support it, who else can support it!" Shao Wanru said with certainty. At present, except Mrs. Xingguo, no one has the weight to support this matter.

For Duke Xingguo's government, although it was a traumatic event to abandon Lady Xingguo, it was not a big deal after all. Their children were fine and they still had a future.

However, it is not so easy for Duke Xingguo to make Mrs. Xingguo take over this matter. He just angered Mrs. Xingguo first. Now we have to see what happens to the imprisoned Mrs. Xingguo. It’s time to do something!

I hope that the second lady will live up to her expectations, and she must make sure that her trip is not in vain. If she is willing to admit this matter, it depends on whether she is really willing. With the second lady's character, This kind of thing happened one after another, and now it was all her responsibility. How could she be willing to accept it?

What's more, he gave her such a big gift...
