She has been married into the Yu family for nearly thirty years, so she naturally knows everything about the Yu family.
The Yu family of the East China Sea is strong and strong!
The first generation of Yong'an Marquis, of the Yong'an Marquis lineage, obtained this hereditary and irreplaceable title by virtue of their proud military exploits and their loyalty to the king and the court.
Mrs. Hou still remembers how proud the old Marquis Yongan was.
Although he was naturally weak, he was still able to strategize with his peerless talents, shouldering the heavy responsibilities of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the northwest frontier on his own thin shoulders.
And her husband, Marquis Yong'an, who was killed in battle last month, although he made mistakes, he still fought to the end.
It was the Marquis of Yong'an who defended the battle line with his life, thus preserving the final foundation of the Marquis Mansion.
He was just exiled, not his family was exterminated.
Outsiders said that the Marquis had taken advantage of her, a daughter of the royal family, but in fact, the Chengjun Prince's Palace had long since declined.
Moreover, she has been married for 20 to 30 years, even if the current Prince Cheng is her biological brother, and the brother and sister each have their own children and grandchildren, how much flesh and blood love can there be?!
It is impossible for the Chengjun Prince's Palace to take risks for her.
The only thing the brother could do was probably to persuade Madam Hou and Li to return home to avoid the fate of being exiled.
Of course Mrs. Hou will not reconcile.
She has been close to her husband for thirty years and raised three sons and one daughter together.
The relationship between the couple is extremely deep, and now that her husband has passed away, she must keep his integrity and protect the Marquis' mansion.
Furthermore, Mrs. Hou is over 40 years old this year. In ancient times when the average life span was over 40 years old, she could call herself an "old woman".
At her age, if she still reconciles and leaves her children and grandchildren and returns to the palace alone, how can she live a good life?
Moreover, once a woman is divorced, she has nothing to do with her children.
Her youngest son is only ten years old, and she has several grandchildren and granddaughters... She can't bear to let him go!
Without harmony, she would still be the mistress of the Yu family.
One day the Yu family will make a comeback, and she will be the hero of the Yu family.
All the ancestors of the Yu family are grateful to her, and she can also win the respect and praise of the world!
Maybe it can also be written into the biography of martyrs and leave its name in the annals of history.
Mrs. Hou has already thought things through clearly.
Therefore, even if she had the chance to escape, she did not divorce her husband's family in order to clear up the relationship like some guilty female relatives.
Thinking of the Yu family and the proud character of the Yu family, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but think of her sons——
The eldest son died on the battlefield before he was crowned weak, leaving behind a legitimate daughter and several concubine children.
The second son was weak and could have devoted himself to calligraphy and painting, but because of the death of his eldest brother, he had to take on the important responsibilities of the family.
However, his health was really bad and he was completely crushed. A cold wind killed him and left behind several children.
Mrs. Hou was already thirty-five years old when she was pregnant with her youngest son.
That year, her eldest son had just been killed in battle.
Mrs. Hou gave birth to her youngest son with grief and hope.
As a result, the second son passed away less than three months after the youngest son was born.
Of three sons, only one baby was left.
Mrs. Hou did not dare to put too much pressure on her youngest son, she just hoped that he could grow up in peace and continue the bloodline of the Yu family's direct branch.
As for making contributions and establishing a career...the ancestors have already laid down a huge family fortune for their children and grandchildren. If they can keep it well, they will be good children and grandchildren, right?!
Anyway, Mrs. Hou will never allow the title of the Hou Mansion to be advantageous to other households, and she does not want those scoundrels to take over the family property!
Mrs. Hou had this idea, and she was particularly tolerant towards her youngest son Yu Yan.
The only good thing is that Yu Yan was not raised as a playboy. At most, he is not as capable as his eldest brother and not as smart as his second brother.
He is not even as good as his own sister who has been married for a long time.
Yu Yan was too mediocre, and people in the capital had long laughed at the fact that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion had no successors.
Some even accused Mrs. Hou of being a loving mother and a loser.
Mrs. Hou: ...Humph, you have no shortage of sons, so you are willing to be cruel.
Only one of my three sons is left, and he is still an old man. How can I not feel distressed?
Just be mediocre, as long as you can be healthy and have the big tree of Yong'an Marquis Mansion as your back, who dares to insult her heir?
At most, she can wait until Chengsi gets married and has children, and has a few more grandchildren, and then she can raise them well.
Mrs. Hou's idea was not wrong. After all, she did not expect anything to happen to the Hou Mansion.
Nowadays, the Yu family is in trouble, and the mediocre and squeamish Yu Yan seems not to be so qualified.
During the half month of being imprisoned, Mrs. Hou regretted a lot when she saw her son who was anxious and not strong enough:
Alas, it's all my fault for pampering Chengsi too much and raising him to be like this.
However, at this moment, I saw "Gongsun Dalang" who was the same age and not as strong as Yu Yan, but he could say such arrogant and iron-clad words.
Madam Hou suddenly realized——
It turns out that it’s not that I didn’t teach Yu Yan well, but that Yu Yan was not from the Yu family in the first place, so naturally he didn’t have the pride of the Yu family.
This person is just like that. He has bad roots. No matter how much he is trained, he will not be able to grow into a towering tree!
"Okay! Good boy, he is indeed a good son of my Yu family!"
Mrs. Hou admired sincerely.
He Tiantian smiled shyly.
She has a very good sense of proportion——
He is arrogant, but he is also a teenager.
And because I grew up in the Gongsun family, it was inevitable that I was restricted in all aspects.
It's absolutely normal to be a little bit petty.
When Mrs. Hou saw He Tiantian like this, she was satisfied and at the same time she secretly cursed Gongsun Lei.
It's all my fault that this shameless villain has brought up my good child to be like this.
Fortunately, the child was born noble, and even though he was forced to be raised in despicable hands, he only had minor flaws.
As long as she trains her well, it won't take long for another amazingly talented "Yu family son" to be born.
Her children will make great achievements and revive the Yu family. Let's see who dares to say that she is a "loving mother but a loser".
She is clearly the true matron who can protect the Yu family.
After discovering that "Gongsun Dalang" was not so perfect, and that she, as a mother, needed to be trained, Mrs. Hou instantly became motivated to fight.
She directly reached out and took He Tiantian's arm, and said affectionately, "Don't worry, my son, mother will definitely educate you well!"
"Well, thank you, mother!"
He Tiantian finally coyly called out the word "mother".
This made Mrs. Hou, who still had doubts and a sense of unreality in her heart, suddenly feel weak.
My son, my poor, uh, Kuro!
While Mrs. Hou was lamenting in her heart, she suddenly thought of a question: Hey, my Jiulang doesn't have a name yet.
Now that he has returned to the Yu family, he can't still be called "Gongsun Dalang".
Oh, by the way, this child has a name. It seems to be Gongsun Li?
Mrs. Hou thought silently. She looked down at He Tiantian and said in a consultative tone, "My son, you have recognized your ancestors and are the children of our Yu family."
"your name--"
Although the genealogy has not been rewritten yet, the "child exchange case" has been registered in Dali Temple.
Unless Mrs. Hou can produce irrefutable evidence that overturns this conclusion, Gongsun Dalang must be a member of the Yu family.
Mrs. Hou also decided to recognize Gongsun Dalang and regarded "him" as her son.
Therefore, the name issue still needs to be resolved.
"My only name is the word "ceremony"."
He Tiantian did not directly say no.
Ahem, she changed the original owner's surname, which was already too much. She couldn't even take away his real name.
He Tiantian felt that she would always leave something to the original owner.
He Tiantian refused to change her name. She didn't say it directly, but as smart as Madam Hou, she naturally understood the meaning of her words.
"Okay, let's call you Yu Li. You are the ninth among the sons in the family, so my mother will call you Jiulang on weekdays, okay?"
Mrs. Hou said softly, like a loving mother.
In fact, Mrs. Hou really hoped that He Tiantian would agree to her proposal.
Because in the past, when Mrs. Hou called Yu Yan, she always called him by his nickname "Chengsi".
He is rarely called Jiuro.
Now, Yu Yan has become Yu Li, and Mrs. Hou is called Jiulang, so it won't feel too awkward.
"Yes, mother, I will listen to you!"
He Tiantian responded obediently, looking at Mrs. Hou with eyes full of hope and admiration.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou's motherly heart became softer.
During the not-too-long journey from the courtroom to the prison, Mrs. Hou and He Tiantian, the "mother and son", became intimate together as quickly as possible.
By the time they entered the cell, Mrs. Hou had already taken He Tiantian's hand and kissed her, which is called intimacy.
Everyone in the Yu family in the prison looked confused.
Just now, while Mrs. Hou was still in the hall, the news about the son-exchange case in the Yong'an Hou Mansion was passed to the prison by the guards.
That's it for the second and fourth bedrooms. The couple in the third bedroom all looked unbelieving.
Especially the third lady, she had long believed that Madam Hou was up to something and was trying to get Yu Yan out of prison.
She almost guessed the truth.
However, Gongsun Lei's plan failed miserably, and He Tiantian directly made a big bomb of "swapping sons".
"Impossible! The Hou family is not a small family, and the sister-in-law is the most pompous person. When she gave birth, the delivery room was full of people waiting on her."
The third lady immediately started shouting.
Because he was too cowardly, he was teased by the jailer and deliberately put the person on the side of the female prisoner. Yu Sanlang had quick hands and eyes and covered his mother-in-law's mouth.
"Stop! Stop! Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Yu Sanlang was really anxious.
In fact, he didn't believe in the matter of child exchange, and he agreed with his wife's speculation.
However, this kind of thing can be guessed but cannot be said.
Now they and Dafang are staying on a broken boat.
If the big house capsizes, they will also be in trouble.
"Uh! Uh-huh!"
The third lady was startled, whining and nodding, indicating that she knew she was wrong.
Only then did Yu Sanlang let go of his hand.
He lowered his voice and reminded again, "I remind you for the last time, don't talk nonsense!"
"If you really don't want to listen to me, then make peace with me. In this way, you don't have to accompany me in exile for three thousand miles!"
When the incident first happened in the Hou Mansion, Yu Sanlang thought of making peace with his wife first.
I asked my wife to go back to her parents' house and do some proper work, and maybe she could take away a few young children.
In this way, not everyone in his room would suffer, and there might even be casualties.
But the wife refused!
Even though the couple always bickered, he always thought his wife was stupid and couldn't stand up to the public.
In fact, their relationship as a couple is very good.
Especially Yu Sanlang, he was a concubine and was not popular in the Marquis Mansion.
If his biological mother had not been the maid of the Tai Madam, and his birth had not been approved by the Tai Madam, he would not have grown up at all, let alone marry and have children, and would have been living happily in the Marquis Mansion.
The wife was indeed not as kind to him as she was to her eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother, but she still fulfilled her responsibilities as a legitimate mother.
The thing that Yu Sanlang was most grateful to his wife was that she married him to a legitimate daughter from a serious official family.
His wife's status is still not as good as that of the other daughters-in-law of the Yu family, but for Yu Sanlang, she is already on a high level.
After his wife got married, she never looked down on him. She also gave him children, helped him save money, and devoted herself to helping him find a future.
The wife would be so fussy about everything, and would mess around with the sisters-in-law like a shrew, all for the sake of the entire third bedroom.
Yu Sanlang never felt ashamed, but felt distressed and deeply guilty.
Alas, if something hadn't happened suddenly in the Hou Mansion, his wife would have opened some channels for him so that he could become an official, and their third house would have been separated from the Hou Mansion.
Of course, being able is one thing, but whether you want to or not is another.
After going through so much, being imprisoned by the big house, being imprisoned, and even being exiled, Yu Sanlang finally saw his heart clearly——
He doesn't want to leave the Hou Mansion, he is also a member of the Yu family.
Now that the Yu family is in trouble, it is time for these brothers to work together to help each other.
Yu Sanlang felt that after sharing weal and woe this time, his identity as a concubine would no longer be important.
"If you don't want to be harmonious, I won't be harmonious!"
When the third lady heard this, she knew that her husband was really angry.
She was so anxious that she shed tears, "My mother-in-law is gone. My stepmother is in charge of my family. If I return home with Li, my stepmother will marry her again."
She is already thirty. If she marries again, she can only marry an old man.
But if she doesn't get married anymore, her parents' family won't allow her to live there forever, and they might let her go directly to a nunnery or a Taoist temple.
She doesn't want it!
She would rather go into exile with her husband so that the family could be reunited.
Besides, it’s not like the Hou Mansion really collapsed!
Think about where the saint exiled the Yu family——
northwest!
This is the base camp of the Yu family.
The saint's meaning was very clear. He did not drive out the Yu family.
It even gave the Yu family a chance to rise again.
As long as the Yu family can survive the three thousand miles of exile and reach the northwest, their family can make a comeback.
And those three thousand miles may not really be enough to kill someone.
I didn't see the sister-in-law who was born in the county prince's palace and she didn't leave either.
The third lady did not believe that the Yu family of East China Sea, which had been rich and prosperous for a hundred or two hundred years, would not have any trump card except the Yu family of three generations of northwest generals.
As long as they follow the big house closely, their third house will not have a bad life.
Their third brother-in-law was indeed a concubine, but their second and fourth brothers were all brothers of the general.
The second lady and the fourth lady are also of higher family status than the third lady's natal family, especially the fourth lady, who is only twenty-three or four years old this year.
How young you are. If you return home with Li, you can marry into a good family.
But the two of them didn't clamor for divorce, but followed their sister-in-law wholeheartedly...
