Princess Ankang is just cowardly, she is not stupid.
I heard my mother-in-law mention Tian Liu Niang's marriage first and said that she would prepare a dowry for her.
Immediately afterwards, I asked her about the shop on East Street.
Well, East Street is the most prosperous street in Beijing. The shops on both sides sell gold, silver, jade, and luxury goods.
so--
The purpose of the mother-in-law is self-evident.
In the past, Princess Ankang would have been filled with wariness and complaints about her mother-in-law.
Hearing her almost explicit request for property, Princess Ankang would definitely shrink her head and pretend not to understand.
Again, she is just cowardly, not stupid.
I really can't do the despicable thing of being teased by others, but still holding my own dowry to please the other person.
But He Xi's performance last night, coupled with her mother-in-law's treatment of Diao Nu today, made her seem to see some hope.
The He family doesn’t seem to be that miserable!
With this understanding, Princess Ankang, who was really not short of money, felt happy and said generously: "Yes, mother, I do have several shops on East Street."
"By the way, we haven't gone out these days. I think the weather is good today, how about——"
Before Ankang could finish his tentative words, He Tiantian nodded vigorously with an eager look on his face, "My son, it's hard for you to be so filial, and I really haven't gone out for a long time."
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's go to East Street for a stroll today!"
Ankang curled her lips. She really didn't care about money. If spending money could make her mother-in-law stop targeting her, she wouldn't feel bad no matter how much dowry she gave.
The most disgusting thing for her was that her mother-in-law tried every means to use her dowry, but still came to cause trouble for her.
Seeing her "mother-in-law" looking so excited, as if she wanted to go to East Street to spend a lot of money, Ankang not only didn't feel worried or reluctant at all, on the contrary, she actually looked forward to it.
On the other hand, Bai Zhi, Bai Wei and other confidant maids could not help but curl their lips when they saw He Tiantian looking so ugly when eating.
Humph, what serious mother-in-law would be like He Tian who thinks about her daughter-in-law’s dowry all day long?
As expected, he is a low-class person born as a farm slave, but he has no rules and no shame!
He Tiantian, who has keen senses, certainly noticed the contempt of Bai Zhi and other maids, but she didn't care.
She was in a hurry to go out, not to take advantage of her daughter-in-law, but to increase her hatred points.
The identity of her body is not bad, but it has limitations if it is good.
In ancient times, women were basically trapped in the inner house.
Even if He Tiantian wipes out the He family's unscrupulous slaves and top relatives, he may not be able to gather enough hatred points to complete the task.
Or is the world outside more vast?
He Tiantian bets that as long as she walks out of the door, with her temperament, she will definitely attract a lot of hatred.
Mrs. He's wife is going out, so the people below will naturally get busy.
Just as Princess Ankang held He Tiantian's hand and helped her get into the carriage, He Tiantian had one foot on the footstool and one foot still on the ground.
She seemed to have thought of something, and her whole body seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
She turned her head and looked around.
"Mother, what's wrong? But what's wrong?"
Princess Ankang saw her mother-in-law acting strangely and asked her quickly.
"Why do you bring so many people?"
He Tiantian was a little dissatisfied.
This does not break the character, because the original owner likes to put on airs, and especially enjoys the feeling of being hugged and hugged.
He Tiantian doesn't like to bring too many people with her, but first of all, the persona needs to be met, and secondly, she is destined to try her best to find trouble when she goes out this time.
And if you always make trouble for others, it's easy to get beaten up.
He Tiantian himself is very powerful, but the original owner is an old fool.
She is too weak to take care of herself, how can she easily defeat a group of villains whose hatred points have been harvested by her?!
So, just to be on the safe side, it’s better to bring more losers, ah, no, just more bodyguards.
"Mother?"
Princess Ankang turned her head and looked at the slaves following her.
Quite a few wow.
There are two confidant maids, two useful nuns, four little maids who run errands, and four sturdy women who follow the carriage, as well as the coachman and some nursing staff.
Mother-in-law alone has more than ten people following her. Isn’t that enough?
Moreover, my mother-in-law usually takes these people with her when she goes out.
The only thing missing is Granny Qin. Could it be that my mother-in-law regretted how she dealt with Granny Qin and was about to go out now?
Princess Ankang was really afraid of being tormented by Grandma Zujing. He Tiantian only said one sentence, and many speculations emerged in her mind.
"Don't you have the Princess' personal bodyguard? I remember that the Saint and the Queen Mother chartered 300 bodyguards for you."
An ordinary princess only has 200 guards.
Princess Ankang's treatment is definitely the highest among the noble girls in the clan.
"My escort?"
Princess Ankang felt that she couldn't keep up with her mother-in-law's thoughts.
She murmured, "Before, before—"
Previously, He Tian was afraid that the guards would be an eyesore, so she didn't dare to let go of her daughter-in-law, so she deliberately said that the He family was a small family with a small yard, so she really couldn't let them go and could not afford to raise three hundred young guards.
.
After wiping away tears and crying about being poor, Princess Ankang was forced to leave only a few guards to look after the house and the home. More than 200 other people were temporarily placed in a dowry farm owned by Princess Ankang.
The person who drove the guards away was her mother-in-law, and now it is her mother-in-law who is grabbing her and asking "where are the guards?"
For a moment, Princess Ankang didn't know how to answer.
"Oh, before is before!"
He Tiantian seemed to think of the domineering things "she" had done before, and a flash of embarrassment quickly flashed across her face, but even faster, she returned to her soft and gentle look.
"Ankang, my mother-in-law was wrong in the past. She always felt that the He family was from a poor family and shouldn't be so public!"
"But I forgot that my daughter-in-law is Princess Ankang, who was conferred by the saint, and those bodyguards were also rewards from the saint and the Queen Mother!"
"Oh, I can't help it. My mother-in-law has little experience and doesn't understand these rules. Ankang, you are too filial, so--"
"What's past is past, but from today on, we have to follow the rules."
"Also, Ankang, don't be too filial. If I do something that is not in line with the rules or violates a taboo, you have to remind me in time!"
"Although I am illiterate, I still understand the principle of 'loyal words are harsh to the ears'. I also know that my daughter-in-law will never harm me!"
Princess Ankang:......
After hearing such heartfelt words, she was still not moved at all, but felt like she "didn't dare to move".
Mother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?
Have you really changed the repertoire? Do you want to change your acting routine?!
"...Yes, my daughter-in-law has remembered it!"
Princess Ankang endured the uneasiness in her heart and responded obediently like a little white rabbit.
"When you go out today, just take the few guards you left at home with you."
"When you come back, call back all the guards who were sent to Zhuangzi. Next time you go out, take all the guards with you."
"I, oh no, it's you Ankang. You are the princess. Even if you go out for a walk, you must have the minimum style of a princess!"
Princess Ankang was numb. She couldn't keep up with her mother-in-law's brain circuit, and she began to give up guessing her mother-in-law's "new tricks".
Accept your fate!
Who let her end up with such a mother-in-law who likes to do tricks?
Princess Ankang thought she had seen through her mother-in-law's true face, but what happened next told her——
Where did this go?
Your mother-in-law is "unfathomable"!
Ankang agreed obediently and ordered a dozen or so guards to be summoned. The group of people left He's house and headed for the busiest East Street.
"Mom, we're here!"
When we reached the corner of East Street, the driver stopped.
As a daughter-in-law, Ankang must serve her every step of the way, even if she has a high status.
She got off the carriage first, then came to He Tiantian's carriage and greeted her respectfully to get down.
He Tiantian held Ankang's hand and slowly got out of the carriage.
This body is less than forty years old, but it is well maintained and looks like it is in its early thirties.
Moreover, she has a beautiful appearance, and her figure is not as fat as middle age, but as slender as a girl's.
It's just that the clothes on my body are a bit old-fashioned, and there's nothing I can do about it.
No matter how much the original owner, He Tian, had a heart for beauty, she would not dare to challenge worldly concepts.
A widow, still young and widowed, and now a grandmother, naturally cannot be too ostentatious.
The colors of the clothes are mostly dull colors, and the styles of the jewelry are all retro.
To put it nicely, this is called dignity.
To put it harshly, it is old-fashioned.
When the He Tian family consulted Princess Ankang, in addition to the natural hostility between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there was also a trace of jealousy.
Why can Ankang wear bright clothes and dazzling jewelry?
And she, the mother-in-law, looks similar to Ankang's sister, but she has to dress like her grandmother!
Of course, this is the original owner's idea. For He Tiantian, it doesn't matter what she wears.
Moreover, although the world is harsh on widows, the original owner did not dare to wear bright clothes. She was not only afraid of the world, but also felt guilty.
If she is not upright, she will inevitably lack the confidence to act, and her way of venting this deficiency is not to improve herself or change the world, but to target another innocent woman.
He Tiantian:......
Forget it, things come one by one.
He Tiantian breathed out gently, held her daughter-in-law's hand, and deliberately looked weak.
There is only one idiom to describe her whole look - pretentious.
At least that's how it seems to outsiders.
"Pfft!"
No, here comes the slap in the face.
The person who made this sneer seemed to be very presumptuous. She was not inadvertently offending at all, but deliberately mocking.
The original owner, He Tian, rarely participated in the social circles of the capital due to his background and experience.
Therefore, she was not very familiar with the noble ladies in the capital.
What He Tiantian merged with was the memory of the original owner, so naturally it was impossible to identify who the person was through his voice.
He Tiantian didn't know who this young lady came to provoke, but Princess Ankang was familiar with her.
"Lord of County Lingrou, please don't be rude!"
Although Ankang is weak, she still has the pride and dignity of a princess.
She grew up in the palace and was loved by the supreme mother and son. It is impossible to say that she is really weak to the point of being humble.
She just has a soft temper and soft ears. She doesn't have much independence and is easily deceived.
However, this is a deception by someone with nice words, and she will be easily fooled.
If someone came to mock or provoke someone carelessly, or someone with that kind of status, who was far inferior to her in terms of divine favor, she would not be easily bullied.
Not to mention, the person whom County Lord Lingrou openly mocked was not anyone else, but Ankang's mother-in-law.
If Ankang could still "weakly" sit aside and act like a tortoise, she would also be criticized.
"Why am I being rude? Some people imitate others and think they can act like ladies by wearing fancy clothes. Why aren't I allowed to smile?"
Although the name of the Princess of Lingrou County has "Ling" and "Rou", her character is neither beautiful nor gentle.
She is similar in age to Princess Ankang, but she is dressed more gorgeously and flamboyantly than Ankang.
A pair of eyes were filled with jealousy and malice towards Princess Ankang.
Of course she has reason to hate Ankang, because she is obviously the prince's daughter, while Ankang is just the daughter of a princess.
As a result, Ankang was the princess, but her daughter, Lingrou, only received the title of county lord, and the settlement was only a pitiful 300 households, less than half of Ankang's.
What Lingrou couldn't see the most was Ankang's delicate and delicate look.
Phew, she was almost held in the palm of the hand by the Queen Mother and the Saint, and not even the real princess dared to steal her limelight.
But she still looks aggrieved and pitiful all day long. Who is she pretending to show on purpose?!
Also, they all married scholars.
Lingrou met a vulgar and pungent mother-in-law, but as for Ankang, her mother-in-law was indeed so kind and loving.
Everyone in the capital knows that you are blessed with good health and a good mother-in-law.
In the past two days, Ling Rou had just had a quarrel with the old godmother at home, and went to East Street to wander around like she was angry.
As a result, before walking a few steps, I saw Ankang supporting a middle-aged woman, as affectionate as a direct mother and daughter.
Lingrou had never met Mr. He Tian, but seeing Ankang's respect and closeness to this woman, she could guess with her toes that this person must be Ankang's good mother-in-law.
Why?
She was having a lot of trouble with the old godmother, but Ankang was able to go shopping hand in hand with her mother-in-law?!
Is there any heavenly principle?!
How come all the good things in the world are ruined by Ankang, the bastard of the mother?!
A stream of evil fire rushed straight to Lingrou's forehead. She happened to see Ankang's good mother-in-law behaving inappropriately, so she deliberately raised her voice and laughed mockingly.
No, Ankang really jumped out to make the decision for her mother-in-law.
However, Lingrou is not afraid of health.
First, this is not a royal palace. Without the support of the Queen Mother and the Saint, Ankang is just a weak and bullied orphan.
Secondly, she was right. Besides, although He Tian is Ankang's mother-in-law, her rank is only fifth-grade pleasant.
And she, Lingrou, is the royal county head, a dignified second-ranked person!
"Eh? Ankang, I remember that you are the princess of the county, and the noble man in front of me seems to be the princess of the county!"
He Tiantian suddenly spoke at this time. She deliberately pretended to be innocent and asked curiously: "I am a country woman and I don't have much knowledge, but the rank of the county master should be lower than that of the princess."
He Tiantian looked like a white lotus. She glanced timidly at County Lord Lingrou, and then said in a low voice at a volume that everyone present could hear, "When the County Lord sees the Princess, he should greet her with a gift."
!”
"Ding! The hatred of the Lord of Lingrou County is 10!"
