"Don't worry, at this time and that time, the father was just using Concubine Hui's power to suppress the Leng family. Now, the father intends to reuse Leng Yufan, and Leng Yufan has now fully stated his attitude.
The king is the king, and there is no need for the father to suppress the power of the Leng family. However, under this premise, the Leng family must first change the head of the family! As for the queen, she is just a symbol of the Leng family. As long as she does not
If you make a big mistake again, my father will not depose you."
"How has Concubine Hui, er, the Wang family, been doing in recent years?"
"The main force of the Wang family is not in the capital, but in Shandong. However, in the past few years, it seems that my father has not made any big moves. He has only added a few new talents there. But in fact, my father has also been on the defensive.
It’s the Wang family.”
Su Xiyue nodded, "Father's scheming is so deep that we may not be able to match it. Right now, I'm still thinking about what to do about Tang Le'er."
"You have an idea?"
Su Xiyue hesitated for a moment, "I wanted to let her retreat, but I just don't know if King Qin is willing to do this?"
"You mean to let Tang Leer meet Mingcun, and then let Mingcun reject her face to face?"
"Exactly! Not only do you have to reject her face to face, but you also have to reprimand her for being so unruly. As a woman, even if you like a man, you can't ignore that he has a wife, right? That's it.
, wouldn’t he become a mistress?”
"Mistress?" King Rui listened with a smile in his eyes, "This is a new word! According to you, all concubines are mistresses? This mistress should be a derogatory word, right? What you said
, but I scolded all the concubines in the world!"
Su Xiyue couldn't help but think of Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing, weren't they both considered concubines? They were just slightly more noble concubines! In the final analysis, they were just concubines!
"That's right, so what if I scold you? Is it possible that the prince also wants to bring back a mistress for me?"
Looking at Su Xiyue's smart and shrewd eyes, which were sparkling, King Rui's heart moved. Without saying a word, he directly kissed her! When he almost couldn't control it, King Rui relaxed with some reluctance.
He opened her mouth and said, "We'll talk about it later tonight and see how I deal with you!"
Su Xiyue blushed after hearing this. Wasn't her words too explicit?
However, the lingering love between the two did not last long. They just stayed in the Four Kings for another day and had to return to the capital. Because the Marquis of Wuchang died!
Su Lian is the new Madam of the Marquis of Wuchang, and at the same time, she is Su Xiyue's sister. No matter what, she has to go.
The funeral of the Marquis of Wuchang was not too grand. Firstly, it was because the weather was too hot, and if the body was left dormant for too long, the body might rot. Secondly, it was confirmed that the Hehe envoy had already set off from Hehe.
, we will arrive in Kyoto soon. At this moment, it is obviously not suitable to hold any big funeral.
When Su Xiyue and King Rui went to express their condolences together that day, they saw that Mrs. Leng had fainted several times due to excessive grief. She thought that such a woman who was not well received by her husband in her whole life, died in the end, but
He was the only one who really cried a few times because of his passing. Su Xiyue felt a little pity in her heart!
The Marquis of Wuchang had many concubines, some of whom were only twenty-eight years old. If the Marquis whom they relied on now fell, the fate of these concubines who had no heirs could be imagined.
According to the rules of Daqing, if a concubine has contributed to the husband's family by giving birth to heirs, she can continue to stay in her husband's family after the death of the master. Of course, if she makes any serious mistakes, the mistress also has the right to expel her from the house.
The concubines who have no children, the better ones, will stay in the house as slaves and maids, and the worse ones will be sold by the mistress, or even buried!
Those young and beautiful concubines were afraid that they would be taken advantage of by Madam Leng again, so they also filled their graves and cried so hard that they couldn't even make a sound!
Su Xiyue was not interested in these matters. After all, this was the Leng family's business and had nothing to do with her. However, she still heard from Su Lian that Mrs. Leng had made a decision. Those under twenty-five would have no heirs.
All concubines were sold out, and those who were over this age group were directly buried! Except for those concubines who gave birth to concubine children, Leng Mansion no longer kept any extra ones.
When she heard the news, Su Xiyue was a little shocked! She didn't expect that Mrs. Leng would make such a decision. How should I put it? Compared with some principal wives who have been neglected for a long time, her decision
, still quite benevolent!
At least, she did not let real young women under twenty-five be buried! Moreover, if she had the intention to torture those vixens even more severely, there was no need to sell them out. After all, if they were left behind
He was ordered around day and night and tortured every day. This was the usual way to make him feel bad!
What Su Xiyue didn't expect was that after the Marquis of Wuchang was buried, she returned to the Anding Marquis' Mansion and met Su Lian again. When Su Lian mentioned her mother-in-law, she actually showed a bit of fear! This had never happened before.
, but it has never happened before.
"I originally thought that my mother-in-law had kind thoughts, just like you said. But yesterday I realized what evil is!"
"But what about my aunt?" Su Xiyue asked with some confusion.
"Yesterday, my mother had all the seven or eight beautiful concubines sold. I thought they were sold to some wealthy family as slaves, or to some wealthy people as concubines. But I never thought that they would be sold to them.
, Mother actually called someone from her own dowry village and sold him directly to the capital."
"Out of Beijing? This is just a few concubines. Is it necessary?" Su Xiyue also felt confused. Isn't it just a few concubines? As for that?
"I heard with my own ears that my mother-in-law said that she would sell those seven or eight beautiful concubines to a brothel in a rural town, and the kind that requires soliciting customers!"
"What?" Su Xiyue couldn't calm down anymore! This Mrs. Leng is really cruel!
"In the past, I looked at my mother-in-law who was always unable to do anything about the concubines. I thought she was nothing more than that. She couldn't even manage a few concubines. She was simply a mistress in vain! But today I just
You know, she has no means, it was just because she had the support of her father-in-law that she deliberately showed weakness!"
Su Lian said and sighed softly, "Those beautiful concubines are the ones who are really pitiful! They just have some advantages in normal times, but now they have to stay together for the rest of their lives!"
