"Sister, do you remember? Mrs. Zheng Guogong is the stepmother. Isn't she also the concubine of Zheng Guogong's first wife? Look at the children of Zheng Guogong's first wife, which one is better?" Mrs. Anyang Hou said to the British father-in-law.
Zheng Guogong's first wife almost died of illness that year. Zheng Guogong's wife's natal family felt that the child left by their daughter was too pitiful. They were worried that the person who married Zheng Guogong would be bad for their grandson, so they discussed marrying off their concubine as a stepmother.
.
Zheng Guogong's family background is also very good. His wife's natal family is not as good as his, but it is also a famous family.
Zheng Guogong did not want to offend his wife's natal family, and he also believed that it would be good for his children if his aunt became a stepmother, so he agreed to let his concubine from his first wife's natal family become his stepmother.
The results of it?
Mrs. Zheng Guogong was indeed very good to the children and Zheng Guogong in the first few years after she got married. She didn't even give birth to her own children in the five years after she got married. This only made people in Zheng Guogong's house and outside say that she was affectionate.
It makes sense.
Five years later, she successfully won over her sister's child, and after winning the heart of Zheng Guogong, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child. After she gave birth to her own son, she praised and killed the child of Zheng Guogong's first wife.
Now the son of Zheng Guogong's first wife is uneducated and has no achievements. He often makes trouble and makes Zheng Guogong angry. What about his daughter? The family that the daughter marries is not necessarily that good. Even if the family is good, the husband treats them badly, and they all have a beloved one.
Concubine room.
It can be said that the children of Zheng Guogong's first wife did not live well, but Mrs. Zheng Guogong's own children were all very promising, and her daughter also married well.
Mrs. Anyang and the British duchess admired Mrs. Zheng Guogong's methods. After doing so many things, she was able to make Zheng Guogong never abandon her and dote on her without causing too much damage to her reputation outside.
.
How powerful is this method and scheming?
"I don't want people from the Luo family to come in again. I'm afraid that my grandchildren will become the children of Duke Zheng." Mrs. Anyang Hou said firmly.
Mrs. Anyang Hou really dislikes her ex-daughter-in-law Luo Shi, but she still likes her grandson. After all, he is her son's only son.
As for the granddaughter, in the eyes of Mrs. Anyang Hou, she is treated the same as her daughter. She is not as important as her son, but she will raise her well. When she is raised, she can also be given away for marriage to add a connection to the Anyang Hou Mansion.
The British father-in-law knew that the conflict between her sister and her daughter-in-law was deep. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was really bad, and they almost wanted to kill each other.
Especially Mrs. Anyang Hou, she really hates this daughter-in-law.
Su Feng, the prince of the Marquis of Anyang, was her only son. She loved and protected him as much as her eyes, and regarded him as more important than anything else.
As a result, when Su Feng was the first to ask to marry Luo, Mrs. Anyang Hou was extremely unwilling. She was interested in a girl from another family who was in line with her wishes. She felt that such a family and that kind of family were the most suitable ones.
His own son's.
In the eyes of Mrs. Anyang Hou, her son could marry a princess. However, the first princess who was the right age for Su Feng was Princess Zhaoyang. She was the favorite of Emperor Yun Zhao, so how could he marry her?
Su Feng?
Mrs. Anyang Hou was very regretful at first. She felt that only the eldest princess Zhaoyang was the most suitable for her son. After all, she was the legitimate daughter and eldest princess of the Empress Yuan.
As for the princesses 2, 3, 4 and 5, they were not within the scope of Mrs. Marquis Anyang's consideration. She felt that these were all concubine princesses, and they were not as favored as Princess Zhaoyang.
Mrs. Marquis Anyang only wanted to be beautiful, and she didn't care whether the princesses liked her son.
Su Feng didn't care who his mother was interested in. He liked Luo Shi. That girl who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside and kind-hearted was his favorite girl.
So Su Feng went over Mrs. Anyanghou's objection and approached his father, Anyanghou, saying that he wanted to marry the Luo family's daughter.
Marquis Anyang did not think as highly of himself as his wife. After asking about Luo Shi, he helped his son come to propose marriage.
Because of this incident, the relationship between Mrs. Anyang Hou and her daughter-in-law had been bad since before the marriage was proposed. After her daughter-in-law came into the house, it was even more impossible for her to have a good look towards her.
Now that this daughter-in-law is finally gone, Mrs. Anyang Hou still feels uncomfortable.
Seeing the look on her sister's face, the British princess asked in a low voice, "Qingrou, tell me honestly, did you take any action when Feng'er's family died of illness?"
Qingrou is the maiden name of Mrs. Anyanghou. The name Yan Qingrou sounds very gentle and watery, but it is completely different from Mrs. Anyanghou's personality and has nothing to do with it.
After hearing what her sister said, Mrs. Anyang's eyes widened and she said, "How could I do something to her? Although I can't stand her, it's Feng'er's heart. If I do it, it won't be because I have ruined me and Feng'er."
The love between mother and child?"
"I'm not really stupid. That Luo Shi has always been in poor health. What's the benefit of me attacking her?"
Luo Shi's health deteriorated when she gave birth to her eldest grandson. Later, in order to prevent Su Feng from taking a concubine, he ignored her health and continued to have children, so he slowly emptied her body.
Mrs. Marquis Anyang really didn't do anything to her daughter-in-law. She just gave her son away in the hope that he would take a concubine. She was not the only one to do such a thing to her son. She was harming her daughter-in-law.
?
Seeing her serious expression, the British princess also believed her words a little, "Just think clearly, but you can't let Feng'er leave your heart just because of Luo Shi."
Mrs. Anyang Hou became even more angry when she heard this, "Have I not given in enough?"
"As a mother, I worked hard to give birth to him and raise him, but he turned against me for another woman. After that woman came in, he defended her in every way and asked me to give in step by step."
"I don't have any dignity as a mother." Mrs. Anyang Hou said full of resentment.
After hearing her sister's complaints, the British princess also sympathized with her, but it was just sympathy. She was too lazy to care about the bad things in her sister's family.
"I envy you, sister. Your son is filial and you like your daughter-in-law. Everything is in line with your wishes." Mrs. Anyang Hou said with envy.
Unlike the British princess who only had one son, she gave birth to four sons and two daughters. Each son was obedient and filial, and none of them disobeyed her.
Moreover, the daughter-in-laws of the British princess-in-law were all her favorites, and she discussed with her son to marry them. They were all daughters-in-law that she liked. However, her own son, who she liked, went to the house to propose marriage to her instead of her.
are completely different.
"Don't be envious. Didn't Feng'er relent and agree to marry his stepmother? This time, you will choose a daughter-in-law that you are satisfied with." The British princess said with a smile.
Mrs. Anyang Hou nodded and said, "Yes, I will choose the one I am satisfied with this time."
Mrs. Anyanghou is full of ambitions, and she must carefully choose a daughter-in-law she is satisfied with. She does not want to marry another daughter-in-law who, like Luo Shi, makes her give in to her daughter-in-law step by step under the protection of her son.
