Emperor Ming Yuan seemed a little touched. Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.
Isn't Yuan Qingling's rebellion and disobedience a means of protection?
For her now, the most important thing is the baby in her belly.
As for Lao Wu's proposal, taking Miss Na Hu as an adopted daughter is not impossible, but it is definitely not as good as marrying into the royal family.
Marrying into the royal family means a lifetime. Marquis Zhenbei is extremely filial and loves his children. Once Miss Hu marries Lao Wu, he will consider everything first.
And the Marquis of Zhenbei may not have the intention to rebel, he is just too ambitious. If he becomes the head of the country, and he knows that his daughter will become the crown prince or queen in the future...
Emperor Ming Yuan was startled when he thought of this. In fact, in his plan, he had subconsciously ignored one person, and that was Yuan Qing Ling.
He intended to establish Lao Wu, so he naturally believed that Miss Hu would become the crown princess or even the queen in the future.
But what about Yuan Qingling? If she gives birth to a son, how valuable will the status of the eldest son be? Naturally, the status of the mother cannot be reduced.
Now that I think about it seriously, it's still not feasible.
Over at Jinghou Mansion, after Jinghou returned to the countryside to "go to the funeral", the two old ladies tried to take over the power of the mansion and summoned the people in the mansion to the front yard. Unexpectedly, the old lady came out of the air and sat on the main seat.
.
Yuan Qingling didn't come in and was watching from outside.
The second wife's face looked a little ugly, but she smiled to herself and said: "Sister-in-law, you are not in good health. Please rest in the house more. I can take care of the things in the house for you."
The old lady slowly raised her eyelids and glanced at her lightly, "You don't care. The years you have been in charge of the mansion have been a mess. It can be seen that the Marquis has entrusted unworthy people. You don't have to interfere with the affairs of the mansion in the future."
The second old lady was startled, and she lowered her face, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Why is there such a mess when I manage the house? Where is the mess? Please point it out."
Luan, the daughter-in-law of the second wife, also said: "Yes, aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You have been ill in bed these years and have no way to protect yourself. If it weren't for my mother-in-law, what would happen in this house?"
It’s really a mess.”
The old lady said calmly: "Second madam, what are your rules? Why do you interrupt me when I'm talking to your mother-in-law?"
Luan curled her lips, "Why are you so overbearing and not allowing me to speak? Even if you want to seize power now, you can't deny my mother-in-law's contribution to the Hou Mansion over the years. You need to be fair."
The old lady said coldly: "I always do things fairly. Starting tomorrow, I will hire another accountant to check the income and expenditure accounts of the company for the past ten years one by one. If the accounts are balanced, I will remember her credit.
If the accounts cannot be reconciled, then it is embezzlement of public funds and the family will deal with it."
The old lady's voice was not high, but her words were calm and domineering.
The second old lady sneered, "There is nothing wrong with my accounts. You can do it if you want. However, I have been in charge of this mansion for many years, and I am afraid that the people in the mansion may not listen to you."
She stood in the middle, looked at the room full of servants, and said: "Anyone who listens to me, please stand to the left."
This group of people cheering and cheering immediately stood to the left.
The remaining few were still standing in the middle, a little confused and undecided.
The second old lady looked at the old lady proudly and said, "No one will listen to you. Just give up. Don't think that you can dominate the house now that the Marquis is not in the house. I have paid so much for Jinghou Mansion over the years. Everyone."
It’s there for all to see.”
A smile slowly appeared on the old lady's tired and pale face, and she said to Mama Sun: "Write down all these people. After you have memorized them, find a man to come to your door and sell them all out, and then call
Find a group of people here."
The second old lady sneered, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I have their deeds to sell themselves, and they can't be taken away without a deed."
Mother Sun smiled and said, "Second Madam, you said that our old lady always comes to the accounting room these days. Do you really want to check the accounts?"
The second lady was startled, "You..."
Mother Sun's face suddenly darkened, and she said coldly: "The deeds of sale of everyone in the house have long been in the hands of the old lady. Second old lady, there is still one of these deeds of sale, which belongs to you, you are the master.
It's been so long that I don't even remember how you climbed into the second master's bed. You must never forget your roots as a human being. You were born as a slave. You should consider the slaves well today. If you sell them out, you may not be from such a good family.
.”
Everyone was stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to choose. Yuan Qingling looked outside and smiled slightly. Grandma won't fight an uncertain battle. This battle will be won!
There was a servant who stood up quickly while everyone was stunned and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I am willing to do my best for the old lady."
He is illiterate, and this sentence, asking himself, is the most competent thing he can say.
After all, the work of dogs and horses is an idiom.
This man is called Chai. His ancestor was a high official. After he was convicted, all his descendants were declassified as slaves.
He has been sold many times, so he knows that being sold again means starting over again.
One of the most outstanding characteristics of human beings is the herd effect.
When everyone has no idea, suddenly one person makes a choice, and then everyone behind will follow suit.
So, within a moment, a group of people quickly stood on the other side.
Behind the second old lady, there were only a few lonely confidants.
The second lady and Mrs. Luan were so angry that their faces were twisted.
The old lady stood up and said to Sun's mother: "Tell them my rules, and I will go have tea with my granddaughter."
The old lady walked out calmly. Yuan Qingling supported her and smiled slightly, "Grandma, you won beautifully."
But the old lady said calmly: "What does this mean? A clown is not worth the trouble."
Yuan Qingling felt that her grandmother was also a person who had been through strong winds and waves, so she naturally did not take these simple house fights seriously.
When her illness improved a little, she went out to do some activities, letting people know that she still had the will and strength. Then she took away the slaves' contracts of sale and took control of the core, so there was no need to worry about regaining the power in the mansion.
"Grandma is getting old, and there has been little hope for these years. In addition, people who are sick are weak, so they naturally lose their ambition. Now that the children and grandchildren are restless, I can't die anyway, so I might as well take care of this family again and see if there is anything that can be saved.
room."
Yuan Qing smiled and said: "Grandma, there must be some, people must have hope."
A smile appeared on the old lady's withered face, "Be more upbeat and sensible. I won't feel relieved until you return to the palace."
Then, she shook her head again, "It's not peaceful even after I return to the palace. Hey, there's never a time when people can feel reassured."
The two of them walked out and saw the porter leading a father-in-law from the palace in.
Yuan Qing Ling took a closer look and saw that it was Eunuch Chang who was beside the Supreme Emperor.
