Who is coming? A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Qinglan's eyes.
Cui Wan was very familiar with this footsteps, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was too late to cover them up. What should I do?
The visitor didn't give Cui Wan any time to react and pushed the door straight open.
Cui Wan lowered her head reflexively.
The light in the room was dim, and Cui Wan lowered his head again. The handsome young man who walked in suddenly didn't notice Cui Wan's strangeness, and said with a smile: "Wan Niang, why didn't you say anything to me when you came back? I was everywhere just now
Looking for you."
The person who came was, of course, the male owner of Qinfang Garden and the eldest son of Changyuan House, Sun Ye Yuanwei. His voice was as gentle as ever, with a hint of concern.
Cui Wan's suppressed grievances suddenly came to mind again. This time, she suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore and pretended to be nonchalant, and looked up at her husband.
Ye Yuanwei's smiling eyes and Cui Wan's aggrieved and desolate eyes met in the air. They were startled at first, and then asked without thinking: "Wan Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was pale. She clearly looked like she had cried bitterly.
Cui Wan's lips trembled, but she didn't say anything. Tears fell unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.
Ye Yuanwei has always been gentle and considerate towards this gentle and virtuous wife. Seeing her looking aggrieved and sad, his heart felt heavy. He wanted to ask more questions, but there happened to be Ye Qinglan standing next to him...
Fortunately, Ye Qinglan quickly opened her mouth and said: "I've been bothering you for a long time, so it's time to go back. Sister-in-law, I'll come see you tomorrow." After saying that, he walked out lightly. Before closing the door, Ye Yuanwei caught his eye with a distressed expression.
.
Fortunately, Ye Yuanwei still has some true feelings for Cui Wan. Cui Wan's situation is not too bad after all. As long as she can firmly win over Ye Yuanwei's heart, her position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law will be as stable as a mountain.
People can move.
If Cui Wan is smart enough, she should know what to do next.
The next day, when Cui Wan appeared in front of people again, her expression had returned to her usual soft and calm expression. Her red and swollen eyes had probably been applied with a hot towel, leaving only a faint mark.
Ye Qinglan smiled at Cui Wan, and Cui Wan smiled back, her eyes no longer showing the slight sadness and sadness of the past.
Ye Qinglan only felt very relieved. After yesterday's efforts, Cui Wan's mental illness has obviously improved a lot. At least, she is much stronger than before. Since some things are unavoidable, then face it bravely and control things from getting worse.
Bad move.
Therefore, for the first time, Cui Wan took the initiative to mention the two maids who shared the same house: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law has something to discuss with you. The original residences of Chuntao and Cailu are a bit too small. I want to give them a new apartment."
A spacious room.”
Zheng naturally agreed to such a trivial matter immediately.
Cui Wan smiled again and said: "I thought about what my grandmother said yesterday after I went back. The matter of taking a concubine needs to be considered carefully. Although it is a concubine, at least it must be clean and it is best to be educated.
Some words."
This makes sense. Mrs. Zheng nodded approvingly: "Of course, we can't tolerate those unruly foxes in our house." If you want your family to be peaceful, you have to choose an innocent family with dignified character.
Her daughter doesn't need to be too beautiful, the most important thing is that she can bear children.
Cui Wan had obviously thought about this matter for a long time, and she spoke fluently and appropriately: "This matter cannot be rushed. We might as well take our time to find the right one. I also want to send a letter back to Cui's house. Please ask Sister Qiao's grandmother to help find the right one."
Once you search, you might be able to find a suitable candidate."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed. She was immediately impressed by this gentle and honest daughter-in-law.
These words were very euphemistic, but the meaning behind them was very obvious. Ye Yuanwei could take a concubine if he wanted to, but the choice of the concubine had to be decided by the Cui Mansion. To put it more bluntly, the Cui Mansion could choose from a branch of his own clan.
An innocent and docile girl became Ye Yuanwei's concubine. Even if she gave birth to the eldest son, she would still have the blood of the Cui family.
Cui Wan still looked respectful: "If my mother-in-law thinks this is feasible, my daughter-in-law will send someone to deliver the letter back today."
Zheng didn't hesitate for too long before she nodded in agreement.
Cui Wan has given in, and she naturally does not need to worry too much about the choice of concubine. What she wants is a fat and white grandson, and it doesn't matter which woman's belly he comes from. What's more, in this case,
, it can also minimize Cui Mansion’s resentment. Since it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?
Cui Wan breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best way she could think of. It could not only deal with the Jiang family and the Zheng family, but also solve the current dilemma.
Ye Qinglan looked over, smiled and winked. Sister-in-law, you are really good!
Cui Wan smiled slightly. The words Ye Qinglan said yesterday suddenly came to mind again.
Yes, now that things have reached this point, it will not help her to be sad and escape. It is better to face reality and make the best choice for herself.
I thought that the matter had been settled safely, but I didn't expect that when Jiang heard these words, she immediately objected: "This is a matter of our family, why bother the Cui family."
Cui Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed, and she smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if my mother-in-law has a better candidate in mind?"
Mrs. Jiang smiled happily and said: "There is indeed a suitable candidate. A few days ago, my mother-in-law's sister-in-law came to the house and brought a girl. Her name is Jiang Ying. She is fifteen years old this year and has a very good appearance.
.She is the daughter of my useless nephew. She seems very suitable to me."
Cui Wan had a breath stuck in her throat. She couldn't come up or go down. Not to mention how uncomfortable she was.
Zheng's smile did not diminish, but a sneer flashed in her eyes. No wonder Jiang was so abnormal these days and insisted on giving Ye Yuanwei a concubine. She wanted to bring a girl from the Jiang family into the house. If she really let it go
When Jiang Ying enters the family, she will actually give birth to the eldest son in the future. The eldest son will have the blood of the Jiang family in his bloodline.
Thinking further, Ye Yuanwei will definitely inherit the title in the future. If Cui Wan never gives birth to a son, he will only be able to pass it on to the eldest son who is a concubine.
Jiang's plan was just right...
Mrs. Zheng's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she had a glimpse of Jiang's thoughts in an instant. On this matter, she and Cui Wan were definitely on the same side. No matter what, Jiang could not be allowed to get this Jiang Ying into the house as he wished.
Come to the government.
"My mother-in-law is thoughtful and considerate." Mrs. Zheng's smile was soft but thorny: "However, my daughter-in-law feels that this matter is a little inappropriate. How can a girl from the Jiang family be a concubine for Yuan Wei?
I feel so wronged."
The Chiang Mansion was just a house of ordinary officials in the capital, and it was actually not a grievance for the concubine of the family to be a concubine for the eldest grandson of the Changyuan Mansion. When Zheng said this, she was deliberately trying to spite the Chiang family. Mr. Jiang
You can't say, "It doesn't matter, it's just right for my grandniece to be Yuan Wei's concubine"!
Jiang's smile was indeed a little stiff, and she was choked and couldn't speak for a while.
Not to mention how happy Mrs. Zheng was when she saw this, she still said with a faint smile on her face: "I think Mrs. Cui's proposal is good. In the past few years since she was married into the house, although she only gave birth to a son, Qiao Jie, she usually follows the rules.
Honor your parents-in-law and serve your husband, and do everything thoughtfully. Now it is helpless for Yuan Wei to take a concubine for the sake of his children. It is better to go through Cui Mansion, what do you think, mother-in-law?"
Jiang had been planning for a long time, so naturally he was not willing to give in: "This matter cannot be rushed, it is better to discuss it slowly. Let's ask Yuan Wei for his opinion when he comes back!"
Zheng naturally agreed. She also knew that Ye Yuanwei would definitely turn to his mother and wife.
What Mrs. Zheng was thinking, Mrs. Jiang could naturally think of. Her eyes flashed repeatedly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After leaving Changhetang, the smile on Zheng's face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes were full of coldness.
Cui Wan couldn't say more, but Ye Qingning didn't have much scruples and said in a low voice: "My grandmother deliberately wanted my eldest brother to take a concubine. It turned out to be for this reason."
Seeing the title fall to the head of the eldest family, Jiang naturally felt uncomfortable. After finally seizing such a good opportunity, she would definitely not let it go.
Zheng did not reprimand Ye Qingning for talking nonsense this time, but instead ordered: "Go to Luomei Courtyard for lunch today." Cui Wan and Ye Qingning agreed together, knowing very well that Zheng had something to discuss.
Ye Qinglan was embarrassed. It didn't matter if she agreed, or if she didn't agree. This was a matter for the eldest daughter-in-law. Why would she, a concubine of the third family, join in the fun?
Zheng didn't have time to worry about Ye Qinglan's mood, and went back to Luomeiyuan, Cui Wan following closely behind. Seeing Ye Qinglan's hesitation, Ye Qingning urged: "What's wrong with you, move faster."
Ye Qinglan coughed and said in a low voice: "Auntie must have something to discuss with the lobby sister-in-law. I'm afraid it won't be good if I'm around..."
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "Who has made an affair with you? Besides, haven't you been too involved in our eldest brother's affairs? This is not the least of them." This is what Ye Qingning is used to.
His tone was a bit impatient and a bit sarcastic.
It seems that the emotional pain of Ye Qingning's first love has completely passed, so he has resumed his previous speaking habits.
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly, and simply stopped thinking so much, and chased after him with Ye Qingning.
After having lunch, a few people went to the side hall to sit for a while.
Cui Wan has excellent self-control. Although she is in a turbulent mood, she still looks calm on the face. Zheng thought for a moment and said: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Let's go back to Cui Mansion this afternoon to discuss it with your mother."
Let’s ask your mother to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible.”
Otherwise, when the Jiang family really brings that Jiang Ying into the house, it will be too late.
Cui Wan also knew that the matter was urgent and important, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingning suddenly interrupted: "Sister-in-law, let me go back with you!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
