Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen: The Power of the Family!
In a blink of an eye, it was already the day for Cheng Zilan to return home. Early that morning, Su Lian also came over. Since the last incident, her attitude towards Anding Houfu was obviously different, and people also came over.
Looks more energetic.
"Sister-in-law is coming back today. This is the gift list that my grandmother ordered me to prepare. Everything has been loaded on the carriage. Just let me know when my brother is leaving," Su Xiyue said.
"Thank you so much, sister! I have to trouble you with everything." Su Zhi said a little embarrassed.
Cheng Zilan also blushed, "Yue'er, thank you." She almost called her Sister Yue again. Fortunately, she changed her tune quickly, otherwise, people would definitely laugh at her!
"Sister-in-law is too polite. I have already discussed it with my grandmother. When you come back, I will start to hand over some of the accounts on hand to you. From now on, everything in this house will be up and down, inside and out.
, I will trouble my sister-in-law."
When Cheng Zilan heard this, she was a little moved! In fact, the night before her wedding, her mother came to her specifically and asked her to find a way to get the middle child in the house as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be here.
In the Houfu, she will definitely lose her status. Although she is a little disgusted by what her mother said, how can she not know the importance of being in charge of the family?
Cheng Zilan didn't expect that just three days after getting married, Su Xiyue handed over her rights and made it clear that she had discussed it with her grandmother. She actually solved all the obstacles for herself.
How can I not be excited?
Rather than just teaching herself how to seize the power of the family and how to control her sister-in-law, she herself felt that Su Xiyue's approach was considerate to her!
"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, let's go to Shuihua Pavilion together. The eldest sister and the third sister are also there."
After talking together for a while, Su Zhi accompanied Cheng Zilan back to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion. Since Cheng Zifeng was not in the manor, and Cheng Jin had no concubine, only a few concubines, the house was naturally cleaner.
And Su Zhi doesn't need to worry about being drunk by his uncle!
The Marquis of Wenchang arranged the banquet in the flower hall, with a screen in the middle. On one side were the female family members and on the other side were the male guests.
At Su Zhi's table, apart from Cheng Jin, there were several uncles and cousins of Zi Lan. There were not many people, but it was still quite lively.
After the banquet, Mrs. Cheng pulled Cheng Zilan into her yard to talk. After hearing Cheng Zilan say that Su Xiyue had handed over the housekeeper power so easily, Mrs. Cheng was startled!
"Mother, my daughter has told you a long time ago that Su Xiyue is not the kind of person who is greedy for power as you imagined, but you refused to listen. My daughter only found out after she got married to A Zhi this time that it turned out that King Rui had already
He had fallen in love with her, but she kept thinking about her brother and refused to answer him! Listening to the meaning behind those words, he had been pestering Yue'er for more than a day or two! But she always refused to agree. If it hadn't been for this
Once, her brother gave her a chill, and she will not accept Prince Rui so easily."
After hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Cheng was stunned! Prince Rui had already taken a liking to that girl? And Su Xiyue had always rejected Prince Rui for the sake of her son! Such a woman is probably the worst in the world.
Not much, right? Let’s not talk about King Rui’s status. Even with his bravery and courage, he has established a great reputation on the battlefield, and there are countless women who are attracted to him! But Su Xiyue turned out to be
Rejected many times!
Mrs. Cheng's expression was a little annoyed and a little embarrassed. Such a woman is a true-hearted person! She is truly rare among this noble lady! But what have she done? Think about what she once did to Su Xiyue.
It felt like I had been punched by someone, but I couldn’t feel the pain!
"Mom, my daughter is living a good life in the Su family. Mother doesn't have to worry about her all the time. When her daughter is free in the future, she will naturally come back to visit her father and mother often."
Only then did Mrs. Cheng come back to her senses, "Okay, okay! It's good to have your words, and my mother's love for you has not been in vain!"
"Mom, my daughter is married and can no longer follow her around. Mother has to think more about herself! As for her brother, mother doesn't have to worry too much. My daughter heard from A Zhi that he was doing well at the border. I heard
We just won a small victory."
"Okay! Mother understands." Mrs. Cheng finally had tears in her eyes. Finally, one of her children has a good home! As for the son, we will talk about it later.
After talking about the family relationship, Mrs. Cheng still thought about King Qin and her family, and asked tentatively, "Zilan, mother sees that you get along well with your uncle, so she is relieved. Your grandfather and grandmother have always been thinking about you.
Well. I wrote to you a few days ago asking what kind of person your husband is, because I was afraid that you would be wronged."
"Then, how about my daughter write a letter to her grandmother? Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a few years, and I miss them strangely." Cheng Zilan was still younger after all, so she didn't understand the meaning behind her mother's words.
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "That's good. After all, this is your maternal grandfather's house. If you keep in touch with her on weekdays, you won't suffer any loss! You will have a stronger foundation in your husband's family in the future, won't you?"
Only then did Cheng Zilan understand the meaning behind her mother's words. She didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she could only respond submissively. After all, she was returning home, so she couldn't make her cry again.
In the study, Su Zhi was playing chess with his father-in-law.
"My good son-in-law is good at chess, just like my father back then!" Cheng Jin praised, stroking his beard.
"Thank you for the compliment, father-in-law! My son-in-law's chess skills are far behind my sister's."
"Oh?" Cheng Jin became interested when he heard this, "My sister's chess skills are still better than yours?"
"Father-in-law, that's right! My sister's chess skills are superb and incomparable! Even my son-in-law often needs her guidance." Su Zhi said with a smile in his eyes.
"My sister is well-known as a talented woman in Beijing! The painting "Songs and Cranes Prolong the Year" that year attracted many young talents! It's just a pity that I never saw another piece of her handwriting!
"
Su Zhi blinked his eyes and naturally heard the probing meaning in his father-in-law's words. He smiled and said, "My sister was young at the time and didn't expect that a painting would cause her a lot of trouble. Therefore, since then,
From now on, I will only paint in my own yard, and the only people who can see her handwriting are me and my father. If my father-in-law really likes it, I will ask my sister for a painting after I return home.
"
"If this is the case, then I would like to thank Miss Su first."
"We are all a family, why should we be so polite! You are my father-in-law, and she is my sister, so naturally she is your junior! If my son-in-law does anything wrong in the future, I will ask my father-in-law for advice.
"
This has already shown his attitude! Cheng Jin was naturally satisfied with this statement. He smiled and said, "If I have a chance someday, I will definitely go to my house to have a talk with my sister."
