Two Hundred and Seventieth Chapters My Mother-in-Law Is a Loyal Servant (17)
The latest website: "Where is Mother Yuan? Why haven't you come to greet me for several days?"
"I'll give you a good eldest lady to take care of. Is that how you take care of me?"
"Teached her not to recognize her mother, and even forgot the rules and etiquette?!"
On this day, Madam Zhang once again called Feng Yanting "nosy" because she didn't listen to the admonition. She was so angry that she ordered Mammy Zhao to call "Gu Xiuniang" to reprimand her!
As a result, what made Madam Zhang even more angry was that the bitch "Gu Xiuniang", who claimed to be able to make money, did not take her old benefactor in her eyes.
She said that she was "busy with embroidery", but in fact, she just didn't want to come over and didn't take Madam Zhang's summons seriously.
Madam Zhang became more and more angry, and she ran to the next door angrily, regardless of maintaining her dignity as Madam Hou, pointing at He Tiantian as an accusation.
Mrs. Zhang's voice was so loud that the surrounding neighbors heard it and stuck their heads out to watch the excitement.
Xu has lived in the market for all these years, and perhaps the last one or two years have been really unhappy, Mrs. Zhang has always wanted to maintain her dignity as Mrs. Hou.
But before she knew it, she had become a bit like a shrew.
For example, if she saw people watching, if she left it in the past, Mrs. Zhang would subconsciously restrain her temper and prevent people from laughing.
But now, she found that the neighbors were all poking their heads at the door and the wall. Instead of feeling any bad, she felt that she had confidence.
right! Get things out of the way!
Don't the people around say "Gu Xiuniang" is loyal and righteous, and she is a rare good person.
At this moment, in front of the big guy, she tore off the fake skin of "Gu Xiuniang", so that everyone could see her true face.
What faithful servant?
What is sentimental?
Pooh!
She is a scheming, pretentious bitch!
He said that he was good and good to the old benefactor, but in the end, he instigated the eldest young lady behind his back, causing the mother and daughter to lose peace.
wild ambition,
The next method is really abominable!
"Deliberately instigating the relationship between our mother and daughter, Gu Xiuniang, you are so vicious!"
Mrs. Zhang herself didn't even notice that she looked like the shrew she once despised and despised the most.
"Madam, don't worry, let's talk slowly if we have something to say!"
He Tiantian's voice was soft and soft, with a gentle and warm look.
Compared with the loud and noisy Mrs. Zhang, "Gu Xiuniang", a woman from a small family, is actually more self-disciplined.
"Hmph, do you still want to argue? What about Yuan Niang, you called her out to me? As a daughter, she doesn't even greet her own mother. Does she still know the rules and filial piety?"
He Tiantian's unmoving appearance made Madam Zhang even more annoyed.
She continued to shout at her throat.
When Mama Zhao heard the movement, she hurriedly chased out from the yard next door.
While appeasing Mrs. Zhang, she helped accuse He Tiantian together.
Even the surrounding neighbors began to whisper—
"We don't pay attention to small households, but Mrs. Zhang is Mrs. Hou. What do you pay attention to in the morning and evening!"
"That's right, I've heard it before. If you say that, what the eldest lady did is really not right!"
"Oh, what's wrong, the Wei family is down and out, and it's not as good as us ordinary people. What do you think about these things?"
"That's right, anyway, I think the eldest girl of the Wei family is very good, and the lady of the Feng family is also a kind and kind person with affection and righteousness!"
Although people are easily misled by others, these neighbors are neither blind nor fools. They all see "Gu Xiuniang"'s life as a person.
Even if she felt that what Mrs. Zhang said had some truth, she would not accuse "Gu Xiuniang" without asking why.
"Madam, Mother Yuan is not at home!"
He Tiantian seemed to be reluctant to say this in front of outsiders. She deliberately pretended to be difficult and said to Mrs. Zhang again, "You should go in the house. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly!"
"Just say it here, I have no ghosts in my heart, and I am not afraid of being heard."
However, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have caught He Tiantian's handle, and became more aggressive, "It's you, who is so secretive and hesitant. Could it be that you have done something shameful?"
He Tiantian: ...Well, if you are courting death yourself, then you really can't blame me for digging holes and playing tricks.
"..." He Tiantian sighed, acting as if she was forced and helpless.
"Half a month ago, I took Yuanniang to Qingyun Temple to send embroidery to Huayang Guanzhu. The Guanzhu thought that Yuanniang was smart and lovely, and wanted to keep her in the Taoist Temple these days!"
Having said that, He Tiantian deliberately raised her eyes to look at Madam Zhang.
Sure enough, when she heard "Huayang Guanzhu", Madam Zhang's expression suddenly changed.
"Huayang Guanzhu? You, are you the old concubine in the palace?"
As the former Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Zhang certainly knew the identity of Huayang Guanzhu.
In fact, just a few days ago, when Mrs. Zhang went out shopping and met the second lady, her sister-in-law also showed her off, saying that her family was looking for a relationship and trying to find a way to send the two daughters of the second room to Qingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, the second room was still trying to figure out a way, but Wei Yuanniang from the big room had already seen Huayang Guanzhu, and was left in the Taoist temple.
This, this... If Wei Yuanniang was Madam Zhang's biological daughter, Madam Zhang would only be happy to know such news.
But the problem is, Wei Yuanniang is not.
Especially since Mrs. Zhang's own son is still a commoner with no fame and no future for the time being, while Wei Yuanniang, the original slave, has already set foot on the road to Qingyun.
How is Mrs. Zhang reconciled?
Jealousy, anger, unwillingness, resentment, and other negative emotions all flooded into my heart, and Madam Zhang's slightly vicissitudes face was distorted!
He Tiantian didn't seem to see Madam Zhang's "change of face", but continued to say softly: "It stands to reason, I should report back to you as soon as possible about the eldest miss!"
"But in those few days, you were not in good health. Every time I mentioned the eldest lady, you said let me make the decision!"
"Furthermore, being able to get into the eyes of Huayang Guanzhu and being able to serve the Guanzhu is also a great opportunity. In the future, when the eldest miss says kiss, you will have more capital!"
"I-I made my own decision and left the eldest lady in Qingyunguan!"
Mrs. Zhang breathed hard for a few times, and finally suppressed the envy, jealousy and hatred in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Qingyun Temple is naturally a good place, but Yuan Niang is young and has a stubborn temper, I am afraid she will collide with the nobles!"
"Well, it just so happens that cousin Yuanniang is obedient and obedient, and her age is suitable, so let her stay in the temple instead of Yuanniang."
The cousin Mrs. Zhang mentioned was her direct niece.
When the Zhang family was convicted and the whole family was exiled, Mrs. Zhang had just been redeemed, and Feng Zhongliang was forced to find a way to save the Zhang family.
However, Feng Zhongliang was really out of money at that time. Even if Feng Yanting's private house was sold, it would only be enough to rescue Mrs. Zhang and his party.
In the end, He Tiantian bought a pair of embroidery to redeem a niece of Mrs. Zhang.
For this, Feng Yanting remembered Mrs. Zhang again.
Later, the "Miss Biao" of Zhang's family lived with Mrs. Zhang. She was one year older than Wei Yuanniang and was just thirteen years old this year.
If nothing happened to the Hou Mansion and Zhang's family, Miss Biao would just start talking about kissing at her age.
But now both of them are in trouble, Miss Biao is the daughter of a criminal.
With her conditions, let's say that the rich and powerful, even the slightly better ones, will not consider her.
Mrs. Zhang didn't want her own niece to marry a peddler or a commoner. She was worried at this time.
Hearing the second lady mentioned Qingyun Temple that day, Mrs. Zhang also thought it was a good way to "golden it".
However, she has no connections, and she has no treasures that impress Huayang Guanzhu!
Just when Mrs. Zhang was worried, she heard the news that Wei Yuanniang had entered Qingyun Temple.
This this--
"Yes, call Mother Yuan back and let Zhen'er replace her!"
The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible, and she commanded so arrogantly.
He Tiantian stared at Madam Zhang in disbelief.
"Madam, what did you say? With such a good opportunity, you let your own daughter give up and give it to a niece instead?"
"..." Mrs. Zhang was choked, she quickly reacted, and said covertly: "I said, Yuan Niang is young and has a temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to serve the nobles well!"
"Her cousin is older than her, gentle and elegant. If you let her go to Qingyun Temple, the nobles will like it even more!"
He Tiantian seemed to finally be unable to bear it any longer, and stood up suddenly, "Madam, today my concubine has given up, I just want to ask you: Mother Yuan, is she your biological daughter?"
"In the past few years, you have ignored Yuan Niang. It was me who took care of the kindness of Houfu and taught Yuan Niang to read and write."
"This time it's even more absurd. It's been half a month since Mother Yuan left. You, a mother, didn't even notice it at all."
"You still keep saying that Mother Yuan has no rules and filial piety! I would like to ask you, do you have a loving heart for Mother Yuan?"
"The Hou Mansion is in trouble. Yuan Niang is a daughter of a daughter. If there is no chance, how can she marry a good family?"
"As a mother, have you ever planned a cent for Yuan Niang's lifelong happiness?"
"What's more, Yuan Niang finally won the appreciation of the nobles with her own ability. You don't say that you are happy for Yuan Niang, but you have to let Yuan Niang give the opportunity to a relative!"
"...Madam, you are going too far! The stepmother is not as vicious as you!"
After He Tiantian roared these words, the whole person seemed to be collapsed.
Everyone could see clearly and found that the Feng family lady's legs and hands were shaking.
"Hey, you can't stand it anymore, that's why it happened!"
"The lady of the Feng family is good in everything, but she is too soft-hearted. She earns money to support a large group of people. As a result, her mother-in-law and that lady have to stuff her man with women."
"Tsk tsk, that is, the lady of the Feng family is kind and easy to bully. If she is a bit more aggressive, no matter what kind of favor or loyalty she is, she will just shoot people out!"
"That's right. But this Mrs. Hou is also strange. Her own daughter doesn't hurt, but she holds some concubine and niece as her treasure!"
"I don't know the rank and the rank, and I don't know the difference. If I don't know, I really think she is the stepmother."
Neighbors and onlookers were talking about it.
They are not wealthy ladies who know how to be subtle and euphemistic. They are all ordinary people.
What he said might not sound very nice, but it really made sense.
Although Mrs. Zhang didn't realize that she had begun to become a shrew, she blushed a little when she heard these gossip.
What's more important is He Tiantian's phrase "is the eldest miss your biological daughter"!
This sentence, like a heavy hammer, slammed into Mrs. Zhang's heart.
Damn it!
I, how did I forget about this?
Yan Ting watched as he was about to end. If everything went well, he would be able to pass the exam.
A twelve-year-old scholar can say "rare" when looking at the Zhou Dynasty.
If his life experience is revealed at this time, the sage is outraged and the world is in an uproar.
"...I don't feel sorry for Yuan Niang. She is going to serve the nobles at a young age. The nobles are naturally generous and loving, but Qingyunguan is not as comfortable as being at home, I, I-"
Madam Zhang was sweating profusely, and she stuttered when she spoke.
Mama Zhao came to the rescue in time, and reprimanded He Tiantian angrily, "It's really unruly, how can you talk back to Madam?"
"Also, Madam is not the eldest miss's biological daughter, who is? Could it be you?"
"Madam, the mother-in-law, loves Eldest Miss more than anyone else. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
Mother Zhao scolded sternly, but she kept walking, holding Madam Zhang's arm and dragging her back to the next door.
He Tiantian didn't chase after him, but her words had already planted the seeds in everyone's mind.
In the future, if Mama Zhao exposes again and pushes the blame of "exchange" on "Gu Xiuniang", she will not be able to completely clean up Madam Zhang.
Whitewash what?
Said that Mrs. Zhang didn't know about the "exchange", everything was the fault of "Gu Xiuniang" alone?
Then, since Mrs. Zhang didn't know that Wei Yuanniang was not her own daughter, why was she still so mean to her? !
Said that Mrs. Zhang didn't know at first, but only realized it later?
Problem again?
Now that you know the truth, why not expose it?
Isn't it to protect his own son and use the innocent Wei Yuanniang as a shield? !
If you think about it from the perspective of "shield", there must be some people who suspect that there may be other hidden reasons for the "change of sons" in those days.
Mrs. Zhang will become more and more black, and it is estimated that she will become the culprit behind the scenes.
He Tiantian has worked hard for so long and made so many preparations, in order to wait for the day when the "truth is revealed".
And this day did not wait too long, and soon, news came from the southwest——
"Marquis Pingnan is not dead! During the battle, he was seriously injured and lost his memory."
"In the past few years, he has been recuperating in the mountain people's homes in the southwest, and he has tried every means to find his memories."
"I accidentally saw the Southwest Army and the barbarian rebels fighting, and then Pingnan Hou remembered his identity."
"Using the skills he learned in the mountains and forests in the past few years, as well as the various information he inquired about, he actually touched several tribes of the barbarians, captured the leaders alive, and returned to the border town..."
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed when she heard the rumors, and she wished she could rush to Feng Yanting and tell him: Son, you are my own flesh and blood, and your father is back alive!
It was Mama Zhao who stopped her for no other reason, and Mama Zhao hadn't come up with a reasonable excuse for "changing children"...
