Chapter 16 The Second Confrontation between the Real Daughter and the Fake Daughter
Chapter 16 The second confrontation between the real daughter and the fake daughter
The smile on Zhao Xuexin's face was a little stiff. Although she didn't necessarily like her biological daughter, she was a little angry that Chen Wendong disliked her own daughter.
If his concubine hadn't been so ambitious, how could her daughter have stayed in the country for more than ten years? If he hadn't had so many concubines in his backyard, and if he hadn't doted on Aunt Zhou so much in the past, he could have allowed her to expand her ambitions towards her child.
Do you want to start?
"Don't worry, sir. I will arrange for my grandma to teach Third Sister." Although Zhao Xuexin wanted to scratch Chen Wendong's face, she quickly regained her composure and promised.
Chen Wendong nodded and continued, "You should also keep an eye on Ruowei. After all, she is the daughter she has raised for more than ten years and is about to marry Prince Jin again. You should also worry more."
Zhao Xuexin kept her smile and responded, "Okay, I understand."
Damn this man, let her do everything, doesn't he know how to worry about it? The child is not just hers, so he, the father, just ignores it?
No matter how much Zhao Xuexin gritted her teeth in her heart, she still looked decent and virtuous.
"Okay, I'll go to Xiaoyu's place tonight." After saying that, Chen Wendong stood up and left. Zhao Xuexin looked at his back and gritted her teeth.
Xiaoyu is Chen Wendong's young daughter-in-law who has just been married for less than a few years. Compared to Zhao Xuexin, who is in her thirties and early forties, she is still a young woman in her early twenties.
Because he is young, Chen Wendong loves to go to her place.
Zhao Xuexin couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this. Isn't it true that men with many concubines in the backyard are like this? The first wife and the first concubine who entered the house are older, so don't they find younger concubines?
Forget it, she is already a grandmother, and her son has a future, so why should she care which woman's house that stinky man goes to? She has no expectations for Chen Wendong for a long time.
In Chen Xun's room.
"Girl, do you want to read a book?" Aster looked at Chen Xun who was sitting on the soft couch and asked.
Chen Xun, who had eaten and drank enough, was lying on the soft couch at the moment. She had been busy traveling in the past two days. After arriving at the Hou Mansion, she had to meet other people, wash up and have dinner. She was a little tired.
"Don't watch." Chen Xun didn't want to do anything right now. She would go to bed when she finished digesting dinner.
"You guys, tell me what's going on in the house. I haven't recognized everyone yet," Chen Yu said.
"Okay." Cui Ju and Cui Yu responded, and then told Chen Xun about the situation in the Hou Mansion, as well as some interpersonal relationships, etc.
The Hou Mansion has a large population, and of course there are many relatives. For example, the wife of the prince, the second wife, the third wife's natal family, and the natal family of Chen Yun's brothers' wives, etc., there are quite a lot of relationships.
Chen Yu listened carefully. Although the Hou family had no feelings for her, and she had no feelings for them, in everyone's eyes, she and the Hou family were tied together. This was her natal family, and honor and disgrace were all matters.
shared together.
While Chen Xun was listening to Cui Ju and Cui Yu talking about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, Chen Ruowei came to Chen Xun with her maid.
"Third Miss." Chen Ruowei greeted Chen Yu with a smile after being invited in.
"Fourth sister, what's wrong? You haven't developed a relationship with me today, so why don't you come over and develop a relationship with me before going to bed?" Chen Yu looked at Chen Ruowei with a smile.
"Yes." Chen Ruowei's face showed no change and she said with a smile, "After all, we are all the children of father and mother. Wouldn't it be better to support each other in the future?"
"Besides, we will marry into the royal family in the future. As sisters and sisters-in-law, we should get along well with each other," Chen Ruowei said.
"Sister-in-law?" Chen Yun heard this and said with a smile, "Shouldn't my sister-in-law be Princess Jin? Fourth sister, you are just a concubine."
The expression on Chen Ruowei's face froze, and she quickly regained her composure and said, "Does the third girl think that Princess Jin will separate you and me? We are also from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and we are sisters. Maybe Princess Jin will
Treat you and me as one."
"No, no, no, we are not the same." Chen Xun stretched out her index finger and shook it. "In the eyes of outsiders, you took away my title of daughter of the Marquis Mansion for more than ten years and made me suffer for more than ten years. I
I should hate you."
"So, no one will think that we are one. And I don't want to have any close relationship with you." Chen Xun said lazily, "Fourth sister, you have to know that you are the one who has a vested interest, and I
This victim cannot be that close to you."
Chen Yun also knew very well that Chen Ruowei was not to blame for the mistake. However, when Chen Ruowei designed her to marry a man who was destined to be short-lived, it was impossible for them to live in harmony.
"But I still have to thank my fourth sister. If it weren't for my fourth sister, I wouldn't be able to marry into the royal family." Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Three girls are joking. The reason why you were given a marriage to Prince Ning is because of the wisdom of His Majesty and Concubine Yun. What does it have to do with me?" Chen Ruowei said calmly.
Chen Xun shrugged, "By the way, we are all going to marry into the royal family. How to prepare the dowry? Is the fourth sister's dowry ready?"
The mention of dowry made Chen Ruowei even more angry. Her dowry was 30% less than Chen Xun's just because she was just an adopted daughter.
Of course, the people in the Hou Mansion also knew very well that although Chen Yun was the legitimate concubine of Prince Ning, Prince Ning was destined to die young in everyone's opinion, so the dowry prepared for her by the Hou Mansion was not much better.
What about Shili Hongzhuang? That is absolutely impossible. The Hou Mansion cannot produce so many things.
Although the Marquis of Pingyang is a first-grade Marquis, it is not easy for him to support such a large family with his salary. As for the salaries of the Marquis's sons, they cannot afford to support such a large family.
The reason why the life in the Hou Mansion is so good now is because Hu Guilan managed her business well at the time. She used her dowry and some money given to her by Pingyang Hou, and managed the shop well, so she was able to support so many people.
In addition, the dowries of the later daughters-in-law were managed well, and some of the prince's own properties were well managed, so they were able to support such a large family.
But these are just to make the people of the Hou family live well, it does not mean that they can spend so much money to prepare ten-mile red makeup for the girls at home. As the legitimate daughter of the most favored eldest son, Chen Ying was originally married.
There wasn't that much dowry back then.
Of course, Chen Xun is the future princess, so of course her dowry must be more beautiful. It is very painful for the Hou Mansion. So Chen Ruowei's dowry must be reduced.
She is just an adopted daughter and a concubine, so why does she need a dowry as large as that of Chen Xun, the main concubine?
Chen Ruowei was really resentful. In her previous life, her dowry was not much, but it was at least similar to the dowry of the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the older family, only a difference of 10%.
As a result, her dowry was now 30% less than Chen Xun's. How could she endure this?
Because she was resentful that her dowry was less than Chen Yun's, Chen Ruowei ignored it. In her previous life, she was married to the prince of the Hou family, but in this life, she was married to a prince, and the dowry was much larger than in her previous life.
