Guan Haiquan put on his clothes calmly and kicked the maid on the ground, "Get out of here."
The maid didn't have time to tidy up, so she rolled and crawled out.
Guan Haiquan walked around the water-stained ground and walked to the table to pour a cup of tea. "You haven't answered me yet. That bowl of beans usually has to be picked up tomorrow morning. Why did you come back before you finished picking it up?"
Chu Yunli just wanted to laugh.
It was also because Yang Mugong had picked up so many beans over the years that Guan Hai had a clear idea of how long it would take to pick up a bowl of beans.
"I don't want to pick it up anymore."
Hearing this, Guan Haiquan, who had already brought the tea cup to his mouth, was surprised. He didn't even bother to drink the tea, and frowned and said, "Mother will be angry again tomorrow morning."
Chu Yunli raised her hand and motioned for Guan Haiquan to pour her tea, and said casually, "No matter what I do, she doesn't like me. If I don't go to say hello in the future, just pretend that my daughter-in-law doesn't exist. She should feel better."
Guan Haiquan was quite speechless. Seeing her tired face, he finally gave her the tea at hand.
Chu Yunli took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. "I'll go sleep next door."
She felt quite dirty in this room.
Guan Haiquan is also very careless.
Seeing that she was about to go out, Guan Haiquan chased her two steps and said, "I advise you to go over and pick up the beans."
Chu Yunli ignored these words and went directly to the next room. As soon as she opened the door, she heard an exclamation from inside. This voice was quite familiar. It was the one who was interrupted by her behind the screen.
Maid.
This is extremely unlucky.
Chu Yunli took a step back and scolded, "You can enter this house too."
The servants had their own quarters, the concubines and concubines lived in the back, and the side rooms were either empty or occasionally occupied by Guan Haiquan.
The maid hurriedly knelt down, trembling all over.
Seeing this, Chu Yunli felt bored. She waved her hand and went to the wing on the other side. She was too exhausted and fell asleep.
While sleeping in a daze, I seemed to hear someone coming to make trouble. However, Guan Haiquan scolded me and left.
When he woke up, it was already bright. In other words, Chu Yunli was woken up.
The voice speaking outside was very familiar. It was the woman who guarded her last night. She was the second-class wife of the princess, and her husband's surname was Yang. Among the people who supervised Yang Micao's punishment, she was the loudest.
"Madam, the princess has a request. If you continue to pretend not to hear, no one can save you."
After sleeping all night, Chu Yunli's body was still a little sore, but it wasn't as painful as last night's bone marrow. She needed to muster the courage to take every step. Today it has gotten much better, and the pain is within a tolerable range.
New clothes were placed beside the bed. After Chu Yunli put them on, she opened the door.
Mrs. Yang rushed forward and said, "Madam, please hurry up."
"You're not busy." Chu Yunli turned her head and asked the maid, "Bring water and some food."
Mrs. Yang was stunned. Is Madam crazy?
In the past, if someone from the main courtyard came to invite someone in person, even if it was just a little maid, the lady would not dare to neglect it, for fear of offending her mother-in-law.
Chu Yunli explained seriously, "If my mother sees that I haven't washed up, she will lose her temper again."
Mrs. Yang ""
Let's take a shower. I really didn't wash my face. If I tidy up a little, who can tell?
Besides, the princess doesn't carefully look at her daughter-in-law's appearance every day. If she doesn't make any mistakes at first glance, she can probably get over it.
There have been precedents for inviting people early in the morning. At that time, my wife also rushed over and never mentioned that she wanted to wash up.
Chu Yunli didn't care about her. After washing up in a hurry, she ate a small bowl of noodles, two pancakes, and a large bowl of soup. After filling her stomach, she walked calmly to the main courtyard.
For the princess, her daughter-in-law always came as she was told, and she had never been made to wait for so long. The longer she waited, the angrier she became.
So, as soon as Chu Yunli stepped in the door, she was greeted by a flying teacup.
Chu Yunli turned her head to avoid it, and the teacup hit the corridor, shattering to pieces in an instant.
The princess looks to be in her early forties and has a beautiful appearance. Time has not left many traces on her face, except for a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She was such a beautiful woman, but most of her face was ruined by the anger on her face.
Chu Yunli only glanced at it and lowered her eyes, pretending to salute, "Greetings to mother."
After saluting, he stood up straight without waiting for the princess to call.
With contempt in her eyes, the princess sneered, "I think you want to make me angry to death. The rules you learned before are already very old. You are about to become a grandmother and you are still ignorant. I taught you before. I didn't scream."
Get up, don't get up."
Chu Yunli has all these things in her memory. Half-squatting is very tiring. The longest time Yang Ai Cao squatted for half an hour, her legs kept shaking, and then she fell to the ground.
, and ended up going to the side courtyard to count beans all day and night, and that was all.
Chu Yunli explained casually, "I knelt for too long last night and my legs hurt."
Not to mention last night, the princess woke up this morning and heard that he had gone back to sleep in the middle of the night, and even smashed the bowl of beans before leaving. She was so angry that she couldn't eat anything in the morning.
The princess was so angry that the hairpin on her head jingled, and asked, "This is your attitude towards your mother-in-law, this is the upbringing of your Yang family girl."
"My daughter-in-law has always been very obedient over the years since I came here. As for her upbringing, you said that my daughter-in-law is vulgar and cannot be put on the stage. She should have gotten used to it a long time ago." Chu Yunli sighed, "My daughter-in-law really can't understand why you look down on me so much.
Why did you choose me to get started?”
The princess glared at her angrily, "Don't think that just because you have children, you will be able to gain a foothold in the palace. With your attitude in dealing with things and your disrespect towards me, becoming the princess will only bring shame to the palace."
Not always.
Yang Aicao grew up in the countryside when she was a child. Because her father was a scholar and wanted his daughter to marry well, although she had to do a lot of work outside the home, she still learned the rules. Later, she married into the county.
The palace was not liked by the elders, so ten or twenty nuns came to teach her the rules.
With so many people teaching her, even a Yumu can learn how to behave. She is not an idiot. After all these years, she knows everything she needs to know. That is why the princess always talks about rules and manners when she is looking for trouble.
thing.
To be honest, Yang Ai Cao himself has been beaten down by her mother-in-law all year round, so she has no self-confidence at all. Normally, she would have lowered her head again.
Chu Yunli was blessed again, "My daughter-in-law is not feeling well, and I'm afraid that I'll let you down after she's sick, so I won't make any rules today." After saying this, he turned around and left.
The princess was so angry at her attitude that she said, "Moxa, stop right here."
Chu Yunli didn't look back, "My daughter-in-law is thinking about your health and really doesn't want to be known as unfilial. Do you insist on staying here to force us to be unfilial?"
The princess's face turned pale, and she slapped her hand on the table, "You are becoming more and more disgraceful. I shouldn't have hired you back then."
When it comes to hiring mugwort for marriage, the root reason lies in the princess herself.
The princess of the county, Tang Pingting, had a beautiful name, and she was also beautiful when she was young, but her family background was not very good. In terms of family background, she was even lower than Yang Aicao.
Yang Aicao's father was a Jinshi, and even though she came from a poor family, she was still a decent official daughter. But Tang Pingting's father was just a low-ranking boss. That is to say, her great-great-grandfather entered the officialdom from the imperial examination from a poor family, and was a fifth-rank official at the highest.
, she definitely reached a high level when she entered the prince's palace.
It was also because the county prince's palace was almost involved in the heir apparent, so in order not to arouse suspicion, the princess agreed to let her son in with such a low-status daughter-in-law.
Not long after Tang Pingting passed the throne, the new king ascended the throne, and the county prince's palace was completely eliminated and completely safe. Therefore, the county prince and his wife did not like Tang Pingting's family background very much. It was not until she gave birth to her eldest grandson that they finally settled down.
The position of Crown Princess.
How would this low-born man live his life if he married a daughter-in-law from a high family?
In Chu Yunli's view, the reason why Yang Ai Cao has been embarrassed by her mother-in-law for many years is actually because Tang Pingting was jealous.
Tang Pingting only gave birth to one son, and there was no good news after that. But Yang Ai Cao was different. After giving birth to her eldest daughter, she gave birth to two sons one after another. During this period, she also had two miscarriages due to abuse by her mother-in-law.
, if not, there would be more children.
Moreover, although Guan Haiquan was not a thing, he was usually a womanizer and had many women in the backyard. But he often helped Yang Ai Cao to plead for mercy. The more he begged, the more serious Yang Ai Cao suffered.
After several years, Yang Ai Cao was vaguely aware of this fact. After talking to Guan Haiquan in depth, he no longer cared about the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, Yang Ai Cao also did not expect that the man had always ignored her and later also raised her.
It became a habit.
In recent years, Guan Haiquan never questioned Yang Micao when he was punished. He even found a woman to have fun in the house like last night.
Chu Yunli seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Do you regret it? Do you want to divorce me?" She started counting with her fingers. "After I passed away, I was filial to my elders. I also gave birth to children for the county and prince's palace. I also observed filial piety twice. I can't divorce you."
"
Any woman who observes filial piety for her husband's family cannot divorce her unless she commits a serious mistake.
Seeing her look like this, the princess said angrily, "Just because you contradict your elders, why should I stop it?"
Chu Yunli was not angry, but looked curious: "You have found a suitable step-wife, right? What is the girl's name? Who is married? Right? Even if the prince of the county marries again, there will be more."
You can hire a girl from a good family, but don't help him find a widow or the like. It will make your generosity laughable if you get married."
As early as Chu Yunli asked the first question, the princess's face changed.
