Xu Ziming naturally knew that his father had cultivated him, but he also knew his father's ambition, otherwise he would not have resisted his father so much. Especially the marriage arranged by his father for him. He knew that he had someone he liked, but he still wanted to marry Mr. Min.
Daughter. How could he not know what these two old foxes were plotting? His father had touched his bottom line. He could tolerate his father's ambition, but he couldn't bear to let himself marry a woman he didn't like. So he was cruel and went to Lord Min.
The marriage was canceled at home. In anger, his father beat himself half to death. What if it was his mother... Thinking of it at the end, Xu Ziming lowered his head and looked at his wife. If his mother hadn't let him out, he wouldn't have had time to save her.
Wife. After he and his wife got married, he ran away from home. It was not until a year later that he returned to Shangshu Mansion with his children.
Because of his father's indifference, Xu Ziming didn't say a word and returned to the other courtyard with his wife and children early the next morning.
Xu Ziming retracted his thoughts and said: "Mom, don't mention the past things again."
"Okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it anymore." Mrs. Shangshu said quickly.
Jin'er kicked his calves, and Madam Shangshu put him on the ground. Jin'er looked at Madam Shangshu and said, "Grandma, can I look around?"
Mrs. Shangshu nodded and said to Nanny Lan behind her: "Nanny Lan, please take the young master around for a walk."
"Yes." Nanny Lan responded and took Jin'er out of the yard.
Mrs. Shangshu looked at Su'er with pity and said softly: "Su'er, it's us who are sorry for you. Mother is here to apologize to you. It was the master who was too confused at the beginning."
Of course Su'er knew that he was robbed and it was Master Shangshu who did it. She used to be resentful and wondered why Master Shangshu treated her like this. After she gave birth to Jin'er, she learned how to be tolerant. After becoming a mother
, she knew that Mrs. Shangshu must miss Ziming very much. Therefore, every time during the Chinese New Year, she would discuss with Ziming and let him go back to see his mother.
Ziming knew that he couldn't screw her, so he had to secretly go back to Shangshu's mansion to visit his mother. Of course, Mrs. Shangshu didn't know that Xu Ziming went back to Shangshu's mansion to visit her every year.
Su'er said to Madam Shangshu: "Madam, Su'er has never resented Madam."
She did not call Mrs. Shangshu her mother, because when they got married, there was no blessing from her parents at all.
"Su'er, you should call me mother. If you marry Ming'er, you are the daughter-in-law of my Xu family. If the old man doesn't admit it, then I will make peace with him," said Mrs. Shangshu.
"Su'er pays homage to mother." Su'er knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Shangshu.
Mrs. Shangshu hurriedly helped her up and said: "When you came back a few years ago, I didn't have time to talk to you properly, so Ming'er took you away. I really hope you can live in Shangshu Mansion forever. Our family
Talent is complete.”
After Mrs. Shangshu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Ziming. Xu Ziming's face didn't show anything, and Mrs. Shangshu felt a little disappointed.
Seeing that Xu Ziming didn't speak, Su'er took over and said, "Mom, don't worry, we will be back."
Mrs. Shangshu was very happy and asked the couple to wait for a while before she returned to the inner room.
After she entered the house, she opened her jewelry box and took out an exquisite box. When she opened the box and took a closer look, it turned out to be a jade pendant. The jade pendant looked crystal clear and was priceless at first glance. Mrs. Shangshu closed it
Lift the lid and take the box out.
"Su'er, this was given to me by Ming'er's grandmother, and I will give it to you now. You and your wife must live in harmony." Master Shangshu said.
It turns out that this jade pendant was handed down from the ancestors, no wonder it looks very valuable. As the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, the mistress of the Xu family will give it to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family on the second day of the wedding. Unfortunately, when Ming'er got married,
, they were not around at all, and this jade pendant has been kept until now. When I saw my daughter-in-law again today, Mrs. Shangshu gave her the jade pendant.
Su'er took the jade pendant and her eyes were slightly red. Of course, she didn't care at all whether the jade pendant was valuable or not. What she cared about was that it was a symbol of the Xu family's daughter-in-law.
"Mom, please rest for a while. Su'er and I will go back to the courtyard first, and we'll come back when it's time to eat," Xu Ziming said.
Mrs. Shangshu knew that Xu Ziming's wife was pregnant, so she naturally agreed with Xu Ziming's proposal.
So, she arranged for someone to send the eldest young master back to the yard, and then returned to the house.
Because of the return of the eldest young master, the whole house was filled with joy.
However, Aunt Liu's house was filled with dark clouds, and porcelain was thrown to the floor.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" the third lady asked in confusion.
"Have you not heard that the elder brother is back?" Aunt Liu said impatiently.
On normal days, Aunt Liu could pretend to be virtuous and virtuous. But after the master was poisoned,
When the eldest young master comes back, she can no longer pretend.
"Eldest brother is back? My father has already driven him away, how can he have the nerve to come back?" Miss Third said with disgust.
"Ying'er, the master is seriously ill now, why do you think he came back?" Aunt Liu said through gritted teeth.
"Are you saying that the eldest brother came back for the family property? However, the eldest brother has only come back once after being away from home for so many years. Besides, his father has already driven him away. Even if he comes back, he will not admit it." Miss Third said.
"After all, he is the eldest son of the master, so of course he loves him. Besides, he is bringing a little one with him this time. Mrs. Shangshu will definitely bring the child to the master. When the master sees his grandson, will he still be angry with Xu Ziming?" Aunt Liu
He rolled his eyes and said.
The third lady frowned and said, "What do you mean by Aunt Yi?"
Aunt Liu sneered and said: "If you can't kill the big one, the little one should have a chance, right?"
The third young lady was a little worried and said, "Auntie, isn't it good that we stay in the backyard safely now? If this matter is exposed, how can mother spare us?"
"What else do you do besides dressing up all day long? The master is dying now, and now the lady is in charge of the Shangshu Mansion. If something happens to the lady, we can find an opportunity to use the eldest young master's children to threaten the master. The master's children
Among the sons, only the eldest master has a child. Naturally, the master is very distressed and will definitely compromise." Aunt Liu said coldly.
"Auntie, the madam has never treated us harshly. Our food and clothing expenses are no different from those of the madam and my sister-in-law. Why do you have to do this?" the third lady persuaded.
"Don't you want to live a better life? Don't you want to marry the prince? You are just a concubine in the Shangshu Mansion, how can you marry into the prince's manor? If you only become a concubine and have no ability, you will be forgotten in the prince's manor sooner or later.
In the backyard." Aunt Liu said.
Let’s not talk about the palace first, but let’s talk about the women in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion. None of those women are economical lamps. If Aunt Liu hadn’t been on guard, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have given birth to the third young master. After she entered Shangshu Mansion, her life was quite good.
Not bad. The master treated her quite well, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. If one day, her son can also become the legitimate son, then the status will naturally be different.
She was unwilling to be like this for the rest of her life.
Although the third young lady wanted to marry into the prince's palace, she did not have the courage to harm others. Normally, she and Baili Yanran were quite capable of bullying people, but she could not do it to kill someone just to marry into the prince's palace.
So when Aunt Liu came out of her room, the soles of her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton. The third lady walked back with her thoughts on her mind, but she didn't expect to walk into the garden.
The garden was busier than usual, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that everyone was surrounding a child. The child looked very energetic, and looked very energetic. Looking at the person accompanying him, it was actually Aunt Lan. The third lady knew this.
The child is probably the eldest brother's son.
"Miss Third." Nanny Lan saw her from a distance.
"It turns out to be Aunt Lan, this child is..." Miss Third asked.
"This is the eldest young master's child, the younger young master in our house." said Granny Lan.
"So this is the eldest brother's child?" The third lady seemed to like this boy very much.
After Jin'er heard the sound, she ran to Grandma Lan. Grandma Lan also liked this little guy because he was very sensible.
"Who are you?" Jin'er asked.
The third lady blinked, smiled and said, "I am your third aunt, you are so cute."
"Oh? It turns out to be my aunt. Jin'er pays homage to her." After finishing speaking, Jin'er said with a big salute.
The third lady thought this five-year-old baby was so cute, so she knelt down and asked, "So your name is Jin'er. How old are you this year?"
Jin'er said: "Jin'er is five years old this year."
The third young lady suddenly remembered her aunt's words and looked at the child in front of her. How could her aunt be willing to do it?
She couldn't let her aunt make a mistake and had to find a way to tell her eldest brother. But, would his eldest brother believe her words?
"What a good boy. Aunt Lan, it's getting late. I think you might as well take him back," the third lady said.
Aunt Lan nodded and walked back with Jin'er. She only heard a splash, and it turned out that Jin'er accidentally fell into the pool.
The third young lady thought of her aunt's words again. Could it be that her aunt took action?
The third lady didn't even think about it. Before anyone could react, she jumped in first.
Although the water in the pool is not deep, it is very deep for a five-year-old child.
The third lady fished Jin'er up and put her on the bridge before she climbed out of the water.
When Grandma Lan saw her, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Third, you'd better go back and change your clothes first."
"No rush, let's see if this little guy is okay first." After saying that, he squatted down and took a breath. Because he didn't choke on the water for a long time, he pressed his chest a few times and the water in his lungs was already vomited out.
"Cough cough." Jin'er started coughing after waking up.
"Jin'er, Jin'er?" The third lady called his name and patted his back.
Jin'er was choked with tears and finally stopped coughing. She said to the third lady, "Did aunty save me?"
After hearing this, the third lady was about to answer, but she sneezed first. At this time, the servant brought a cloak and came over. Aunt Lan put it on for the third lady. The third lady was not worried about the little guy, so she picked him up and put it on him.
Jin'er put it inside her cloak.
There were no children in the house, let alone children's clothes, so the third lady had no choice but to change Jin'er into an adult's clothes, then changed herself into clothes and carried him back to her eldest brother's yard.
"Is eldest brother here?" Third Miss asked, holding Jin'er in her arms.
