The next day, Mrs. Qiu came over and told her that her eldest sister Jiang Nianfu was ill, and she felt a little worried.
"I thought I would be able to meet your eldest sister at the concubine's banquet yesterday." Mrs. Qiu was worried, "I didn't expect to see you. What the Korean princess meant was that your eldest sister has been sick for several days and it is difficult to bring her out.
When I meet people, I am afraid that I will be exposed to noble people after my illness has passed."
"But mother always felt that this matter might not be that simple." Mrs. Qiu burst into tears when she mentioned Jiang Nianfu.
"You don't know that in the past six years, your eldest sister has only been home a handful of times."
"The ladies outside all say that the Korean father-in-law is a gentle and kind mother-in-law. They say that our eldest daughter is marrying well if she marries the Korean father-in-law."
"But how do they know your eldest sister's suffering?"
"Your father is a careless man and has no control over matters in the backyard. But my mother can see that your eldest sister has not been doing well in recent years."
"Fu'er has come home three times in total in the past six years. Her mother has seen her getting thinner and more haggard each time. Every time she talks about this matter with your father, your big-hearted father always says that it is impossible for her daughter to be married off as she was when she was married.
My family lives a happy life like that."
"But think about it, the daughter of Mrs. Zhao who is also married into the Xinyi Marquis Mansion, not only goes back to her parents' home every three days, but there are always three or two times a year where she has to go back to her parents' home to stay for a few days."
Mrs. Qiu felt a little sad when she talked about giving the handkerchief to Mrs. Zhao's daughter Zhao Haiyuan.
This is really no comparison and no harm.
The family status of Marquis Xinyi is not low, and Marquis Xinyi is the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Regent, which shows his influence in the court.
But their daughter-in-law can go back to her parents' home whenever she wants. She can have tea with her sisters anytime and anywhere.
How could it be like their Fu'er, who rarely showed up on weekdays, and rarely saw one out of ten banquets held by the wives of officials and officials in the capital.
Every time Qiu thought about this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Jiang Nai persuaded his mother, "The people in the Xinyi Marquis Mansion are simple. The old Marquis married a wife. There are no aunts or concubines in the family. The Marquis only has two beloved sons. Miss Zhao married the eldest son and became the head of the family."
The status of a daughter-in-law is naturally not on the same level as that of an eldest sister."
"The second son of the Marquis is not yet married. As the eldest sister-in-law, she accompanies the Marquis and his wife when they go out to socialize. It is normal for her to pay a visit to her brother-in-law."
This is indeed the truth, and Mrs. Qiu also understands it, but she just can't help feeling uncomfortable for her daughter.
"It's all your father's fault for having such a hasty marriage. The day after I married into the Korean government, I got Aunt Hua and Brother You." Mrs. Qiu gritted her teeth.
"I don't know how much grievance and suffering I have endured in that home over the years."
Jiang Nai thought for a while and said, "Since the eldest sister is sick, mother will send a message to the Korean government. Tomorrow I will take the fifth sister to visit the eldest sister."
Mrs. Qiu thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine."
The sisters from the mother's family visit the eldest sister who is ill in bed. This is a very reasonable thing and is not obtrusive.
only……
Ms. Qiu was worried about her daughter's explosive temper. If she saw or heard something in the Korean government palace, she would explode on the spot.
So he secretly summoned Jiang Nianyan and told her many things secretly.
Jiang Nianyan agreed one by one, only saying that she would follow her fourth sister well and that nothing would happen to her.
