Chapter 277 My mother-in-law is a loyal servant (21)
"Aniang, what did you say? Why did you replace Yuanniang and Yanting?"
Feng Zhongliang was called from the shop by the policeman, but he was the first one to arrive.
Panting and sweating profusely, Feng Yanting listened to what the servant said on the road and thought it was ridiculous.
But when he stepped into the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion and saw his own mother kneeling in the hall, his heart immediately became confused.
Although Feng Zhongliang had other sons in recent years, in his mind, the smart and progressive Feng Yanting still occupied a very important position.
He is his legitimate son, and he and his wife’s only child.
Feng Zhongliang is an honest man, but he is not stupid at all. He knows very well that in these years, "Gu Xiuniang" has worked so hard to make money with embroidery just for Feng Yanting's son.
The neighbors all around also said similar things: "Oh, if this kid Yan Ting hadn't been filial and could read, the Feng family would have been unable to bear it any longer."
"That's right, I can make money by lighting lamps and boiling wax for embroidery, and support my mother-in-law, husband, and son. Forget it, I even have to support my concubine, concubine and concubine, and a bunch of unrelated ancestors... Tsk, Tsk, the lady of the Feng family, all of them
It’s for the sake of my son that I endure it like this.”
"If she doesn't have a son, or is just a daughter, she doesn't have to work so hard. She can just save some dowry for her daughter."
"Yes, yes, the Feng family's wife often said that her son must study, take the imperial examination, marry a wife and have children in the future, so he must not be without money."
"...If it were me, if I didn't have a son, I would just divorce Feng Zhongliang. The whole family has to support me, but I still have the nerve to sleep with my little wife!"
Anyway, they are just ordinary people from a small family, and they don't have the attentions of a big family.
If the husband's family goes too far, they will break up.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, women could be established as female households, and they could also marry for a second time, just like "Gu Xiuniang", and she also had the unique skill of embroidery.
Even if you are older, there are still many people vying to marry you!
"Gu Xiuniang" will continue to suffer in the Feng family, letting the Feng family squeeze her like a cash cow, all because of her son Feng Yanting.
But, if Feng Yanting is not their biological child, then, then——
Feng Zhongliang's mind was filled with messy thoughts. He, he instinctively rejected the idea of "exchanging children".
"... Ridiculous! Ridiculous! This is simply impossible!"
Pingnanhou and Mrs. Zhang followed closely. On the way, Pingnanhou also heard the general situation from the servants.
Ping Nanhou's first reaction was to refute!
He had never met Feng Yanting, but he had heard Mrs. Zhang praise him frequently, saying that he was smart, that he had a talent for reading, and that he——
Marquis Pingnan: ...We, the Wei family, are military generals. What’s the use of fucking knowing how to read?
The most important point is that Ping Nanhou has no shortage of sons.
Aman gave birth to two sons for him. The older one is just seven years old this year. He has a tiger-like head and a strong body.
He can bend a bow and shoot arrows at a young age, and he is not even afraid of wild wolves in the mountains and forests.
The bravery of the newborn calf, which is not afraid of tigers, looks like a son of the Wei family.
My younger son is not bad either. He is already five years old this year. He is lively, active, smart, and can read and practice martial arts.
I have been getting along with my two sons for several years, and the relationship between father and son is very deep.
This kind of feeling is definitely not comparable to that of an "eldest son" who has never been with each other before.
Not to mention, just yesterday, Ping Nanhou was overjoyed to have such a good daughter as Wei Yuanniang.
He was thinking about how to deepen his contacts with Huayang Temple Master through Wei Yuanniang, and was planning to make a good marriage for Wei Yuanniang in Beijing.
As a result, now there is an old naughty slave who came to Jingzhao Mansion and talked nonsense, talking about exchange of sons, and saying that Yuan Niang was not a biological child of the Hou Mansion?!
This, isn't this ridiculous!
Putting aside Ping Nanhou's personal feelings, the "swap exchange" itself would be a scandal if it were exposed.
The dignified Pingnan Hou Mansion has a deep courtyard and is surrounded by servants and women, but an old slave can easily take over the eldest son of the Hou Mansion.
This, isn't this a big joke?
Not to mention that courtiers who have issues with Pingnanhou will take the opportunity to cause trouble, even ordinary people will mutter: "Isn't Pingnanhou the God of War in the Southwest? He can't even understand his own family's affairs, how can he lead troops?
fight?"
How can we sweep the world if we don't sweep one house?
Although the rear house is a woman's business, as a strong general who is in the southwest and has 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, his palace can even cause trouble for any old slave. This shows that Pingnan Hou is not like
Such a heroic spirit praised by the world!
The eldest son of the Hou Mansion can be easily replaced, so what else is safe in the Hou Mansion?
Therefore, whether it was for feelings or for the sake of face, Ping Nanhou's first words when he came to the lobby were to directly refute him!
Mrs. Zhang's mood is very complicated.
On the one hand, she was very happy that her Yanting could finally recognize her ancestor and return to her clan, and she finally had her eldest son who established a foothold in the Hou Mansion.
On the other hand, she was a little worried. She had just heard the general story of the matter from the servant, and knew that Aunt Zhao had put everything on her head.
Mrs. Zhang was afraid that something would happen to Aunt Zhao, and she was even more afraid that she would also be implicated.
"...Oh, mama, what's going on?"
"You didn't plan it well at the beginning, so you say this was all Gu's plan?"
Mrs. Zhang believed in Nanny Zhao's loyalty and knew that she would not harm herself for the sake of others.
But, she is still a little angry at Aunt Zhao for "making her own decisions"?
What's going on? Can't you tell me in advance? So that I can be prepared?
It's good now that you went to Jingzhao Mansion alone to complain, but I don't know anything.
Mrs. Zhang is willing to cooperate, but she doesn’t know what to do?
As a result, Mrs. Zhang showed a confused and angry expression.
What confused her was why Aunt Zhao did this.
What makes her angry is Nanny Zhao's unauthorized actions.
However, when her expression fell in the eyes of Jingzhao Mansion Yin and Ping Nanhou, she became——
Mrs. Zhang was astonished by the strange news of "child exchange", and then she was very angry at Aunt Zhao's self-assertion.
so--
Mrs. Zhang didn’t know what Aunt Zhao was doing?!
He Tiantian, who rushed to the lobby at this moment, happened to witness the expressions of Mrs. Zhang, Jingzhao Fu Yin, Ping Nanhou and others.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: ...Mother Zhao is indeed a loyal servant!
She really devoted herself to her master and gave everything she had.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhao will not be able to become a loyal servant and righteous person praised by everyone in this life. Instead, she will become a slave and idiot that everyone despises and the master despises!
The light in He Tiantian's eyes flashed, and when she raised her head again, her face was filled with anxiety, surprise and fear.
"Auntie, husband, what happened? Why do you want us to come to Jingzhao Mansion?"
