As Gu Qingling spoke, she paid attention to Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba's expressions with her peripheral vision. Seeing the two people's movements, she immediately made another change.
"Of course, there are many children from poor families in the world. No one knows who will be in high school in the future, and who will have the last laugh and achieve success. Now, being kind to others is just a bet. It all depends on who can win.
Treasure. If you hit the bet, you will have the last laugh; if you don’t win the bet..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning behind Gu Qingling's words was obvious.
Suddenly, Miss Yao Qi hesitated.
If she just shows kindness, she will surely be prosperous and wealthy in the future, and she will continue to be honored and favored. Naturally, she is not afraid of suffering temporarily, but what if she loses the bet?
This is a lifelong event, and Miss Yao Qi doesn't dare to bet on it.
"Then what if...you just want a golden house?"
Gu Qingling smiled, as if she had expected it. She looked at Miss Yao Qi and said: "If you only want a golden house, then choose a stronger one. Whether a golden house is strong or not has the following characteristics..."
"The first point is that their family must have a person at the helm who has a long-term vision and foresight. As long as he is there, no matter how the people below jump, the family ship can sail forward steadily.
Sunk."
"When you marry into their family in the future, as long as you keep an eye on the person at the helm and watch his face and actions, you will probably be fine. Of course, you must also have a certain value and don't be treated as an outcast by him, otherwise you will have nothing but
A life abandoned.”
…
Miss Yao Qi felt that by saying this, the old lady was reminding her to create more "value" in the future to avoid being used as an abandoned child by others?
A chill ran down her back, and she felt that her thigh was not as huggable as she thought.
"Second point, look at the rules of the family. The most unavoidable thing for a wealthy family is to have groups of wives and concubines. The only thing that has to be feared is the chaos among wives and concubines. If the rules of a family are turned into decorations, men will spoil their concubines.
Wife, the head mother of the family has no real power, and this family is not far from destruction."
"So when we are choosing, we are not afraid of having wives and concubines in the family's backyard. As long as the family rules are strict, a wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, and no one makes a wrong move. Then after you marry in, as long as you just stick to your duty as a wife, there is basically no problem.
It’s too big a problem.”
"No matter how many concubines you have, they are just toys and they won't cause trouble for you."
…
Hearing what Gu Qingling said, Miss Yao Qi reflexively began to evaluate Mr. Ye.
She asked carefully: "Then... what if the young master already has a childhood sweetheart, Miss Qing, by his side before he gets married?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Ye?" Gu Qingling was not surprised that Miss Yao Qi would choose him. After all, among all the young men, this Mr. Ye had the best background.
Miss Yao Qi is eager to return to the capital. Although the Ye family is in Jinling, the power of the family is mainly concentrated in the capital, which can be said to have taken care of Miss Yao Qi's thoughts.
Miss Yao Qi had no way to refute and responded weakly: "...Yes."
"Then you are really blind."
Miss Yao Qi: "..."
"The legitimate wife has not yet been decided. Young Master Ye has a childhood sweetheart who is in love with her. This is one. Second, this cousin is pregnant and seems to be planning to give birth. So the question is, which family has the rules? The legitimate wife has not yet been married.
When you come in, do you think you are a bastard?"
"..."
"Let's not talk about this rule. A cousin can give birth to a bastard before his legitimate wife comes in. Is it really just Mr. Ye who is favored? If this cousin is not favored and is not favored by the elders in the family
, who dares to be the master?"
Miss Yao Qi suddenly raised her head: "What the old lady means is..."
Gu Qingling nodded: "After Brother Hong grew up and the marriage was not decided, a maid in the room became pregnant. Under what circumstances do you think your second sister-in-law would let this maid give birth to the child?"
"My daughter... my daughter doesn't know." Miss Yao Qi was so panicked that the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled.
Needless to say?
If she were just an ordinary maid, the second sister-in-law would never let that maid give birth to the child while brother Hong's marriage was pending.
Because once this child is born, it will definitely affect Brother Hong's future marriage.
"No, you know, it's just that you don't want to admit it. There are only two situations. One is that this cousin is extremely loved by the old lady of the Ye family, and everyone below is suppressed by her and cannot be dealt with; the other is that
, it is this cousin who is extremely favored by Mr. Ye, to the point where other women in the family have to be wary. No matter what kind of situation it is, her life will not be easy if the future wife comes into the house."
Miss Yao Qi is not stupid. She is a concubine who is favored by the old lady in the family, and she has a deep relationship with Mr. Ye. How can the legitimate wife who comes in later be free of pressure?
It would be fine if the cousin gave birth to a daughter, but if this was a bastard...
Miss Yao Qi imagined for a moment and knew that after the birth of the concubine's eldest son, he would definitely be loved and favored. Under such circumstances, the legitimate wife had to give birth to the legitimate son as soon as possible, otherwise the difficulties she would face would only get worse.
The bigger.
If the legitimate wife fails to give birth, or by the time the legitimate wife gives birth, the eldest son of the concubine has already secured his position...
Ah!
In that home, is there still room for a legitimate wife?
Even the legitimate wife seems to have become a joke.
"You can imagine, if it is the first type, after the legitimate wife comes in, not only will she become a mother directly, but she will also have a concubine, and she will also have to deal with a concubine who is a popular old lady in the family. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... She can be the wife of the old lady.
Are you going to deal with this cousin under your nose? Of course, she has to be smarter and trap Mrs. Ye Er when she enters the door, so she won't be able to give her a try."
Miss Yao Ba looked puzzled: "Ah? Why should Mrs. Ye be caged in? Isn't it said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born enemies?"
Gu Qingling said with a smile: "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed not very good, but it depends on the situation. Think about it, if it is the first situation, the cousin gets the old lady's favor, which damages the marriage of Mr. Ye.
Can the second lady not regard the cousin as a thorn in the flesh? The enemy of the enemy is a friend. If the legitimate wife comes in, she can get the help of the second lady Ye. Even if the old lady is pressed on her head and the cousin is watching next to her, she
Life will be easier. After all, the old lady is old and cannot do everything in place. There will always be some things that will be handed over to the daughter-in-law below to help share."
"So that's it, my daughter has been taught a lesson." Miss Yao Qi suddenly realized and said quickly, "Then according to the old lady's opinion, if it is the first type, this legitimate wife still has a chance?"
"Well, there is indeed a chance, but it's more difficult to survive in the cracks. After all, the old lady is old and can't sit still for a few years. As long as this eldest wife can bear it, she will sew her left and right, and wait for the old lady to pass away.
This cousin has no backer, so shouldn’t she have the final say?”
Miss Yao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly felt that she had hope again.
Yes, once Mrs. Ye passes away, what kind of cousin will she still be in the hands of her legitimate wife?
Just like the old lady, Aunt Chen was so favored back then, didn't she have to be dealt with by the old lady in the end?
