Luo Jingyao bit her lip and frowned for fear of laughing.
But her expression seemed to everyone to be confused.
"Yao'er, tell me, just let me satisfy my curiosity!" Yue Jinhua begged, but her eyes blinked at Luo Jingyao.
He Lingyao was really afraid that Luo Jingyao would shake everything out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's my grandma's pity." Anyway, the Duke's Palace is not generous.
"Oh, so that's it!" Yue Jinhua said meaningfully.
The way everyone looked at He Lingyao was wrong again and became meaningful.
For those who were born in the Duke's Mansion, lived in other people's houses, and wanted to steal their names, in the end, they raised a white-eyed wolf.
Listening to her tone, they knew that the He family did not pay a penny, and the daughter-in-law and daughter were raised directly in the Duke's mansion. This business was too cost-effective, right? They couldn't do such a shameless thing.
Come on.
The lady who was standing nearby chatting also looked here several times in surprise and whispered.
No matter whether I have a good relationship with the Duke's wife or not, I feel sympathy for the Duke's wife at this moment. With such a strong step-mother-in-law, her life in the Duke's mansion is not very good. She is raising a daughter-in-law who has passed away.
They are still the mother and daughter who have been coveting their belongings. If it were them, they would be angry to death.
The twists and turns in the back house are just a way of watching the elders fight, the grown-up sisters fighting, and the married people fighting. You will come and go in the back house all your life. Don’t get too familiar with this routine.
Moreover, judging from the behavior of this daughter of the He family, she is not a fuel-efficient person who can be grateful.
All the ladies are worthless for the Duke's wife.
A family like theirs would need a lot of money to raise children. Especially for people like them, they need two sets of clothes for every season, all year round, and matching jewelry. If there is any banquet
, for the holidays, we have to make another set, and naturally accessories and jewelry are also essential, not to mention that there are servants to serve, and at least two or three are needed around you.
With this support, the Duke's wife also has to support the wife of another family. With the partiality and strong will of the old lady of the Duke's residence, it is even more unlikely that the monthly salary will be less.
He Lingyao thought that what she said would make everyone feel that the old lady loved and valued her, and also expressed the old lady's love and her gratitude and admiration for the old lady. However, he did not expect that everyone's eyes would be so strange. Apparently she was
It was self-defeating. Her small face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. With her head lowered, no one could see the coldness and anger on her face. Her slightly protruding jawline showed her gritted teeth.
"I didn't expect the He family to be so unreliable. They clearly knew that their daughter-in-law and granddaughter were living in the Duke's Mansion and it was fine if they didn't contribute money or effort. They actually let them support their family with peace of mind? Don't be too shameless.
."
"Perhaps the He family is short of money and wouldn't it be good for someone to support their family? No matter how much the Duke's government pays, the He family will benefit anyway."
I don't know where these two sentences came from. He Lingyao felt a bang in her mind. She had offended many people today.
Now their grandmother must be asking them to question them. It's not like she hasn't asked them to go back to her home before, but they have been staying here because their grandmother couldn't bear to let them go. Although her money is not as good as that of the Duke's Mansion, she still has what she deserves.
of.
She wanted to refute and explain, but everyone who met her eyes turned sideways, their eyes flickering, avoiding eye contact with hers, and just started chatting with the people next to them.
"Cousin," Luo Jingyao had to finish, as cunning as a little fox.
As soon as he was called cousin, He Lingyao suddenly raised his head. The ferocity and anger in his eyes scared Yue Jinhua, who was following Luo Jingyao next to him, so much that he jumped and screamed out in surprise.
He Lingyao reacted and screamed inwardly that it was bad. Just when he was about to explain, Luo Jingyao sniffed, turned around with red eyes, pulled Yue Jinhua and left, without giving He Lingyao a chance to explain.
Luo Jingyao laughed in her heart, and she and Yue Jinhua stayed away from here, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, waiting for the Duke's wife.
"Yao'er, why did you say such a thing before?" Yue Jinhua asked, patting her chest, which was frightened by He Lingyao's eyes.
"Which sentence?" She said a lot today and can't remember it.
"Take other people's paths and leave others with nowhere to go." Yue Jinhua repeated.
"That's right! Because the people who know you best will never be able to deal with you, or even your enemies." They will always try their best to find out everything about you, even your hobbies, so when she sits there
When she took the position of young master, the elders in her family told her that it is very important not to let others know your preferences at any time...
"That's why you did this?" Yue Jinhua's eyes widened.
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes you need to adapt to circumstances and not stick to the same rules. Otherwise, you might accidentally fall into the trap. Besides, I have lived with He Lingyao for more than ten years. I know very well how she talks."
That's why she cut off the path He Lingyao wanted to take in advance and copied He Lingyao's way of saying it.
Luo Jingyao did not disturb Yue Jinhua who was meditating. Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.
Yue Jinhua was thinking about Luo Jingyao's words. She thought about it carefully. She could use the softest tone of voice to achieve things that were difficult to achieve.
How this trick is used depends on the mentality of the person using it.
It's equivalent to saying that if a weapon is held in the hands of a bad person, it is a murderous weapon that can hurt people. If it is held in the hands of a good person, it is a magical weapon that can protect people.
He Lingyao saw that Luo Jingyao ignored her and turned around to leave. He felt someone's eyes paying attention to her vaguely. He didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. Tears came as soon as he asked, and the pear blossoms brought rain, which was unique to crying.
Feeling broken, his eyes secretly looked at the princes again, searching for that line of sight.
She already knew which Prince An Luo Jingyao was marrying? She secretly disliked him. They were really two useless people piled together. They were just two people that no one wanted. They could only hug each other to keep warm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, there will be another old girl and bachelor in this world.
She will definitely marry better than Luo Jingyao in the future.
After she gets everything from Luo Jingyao in the future, the Duke's Mansion will only serve as a stepping stone for her and a stepping stone for him to live a wealthy life in the future.
In the eyes of others, the Duke's Mansion is already a towering existence, but every scene I saw after entering the palace today is so magnificent and exquisite to the extreme.
Originally, she was thinking about finding the scholar Luo Jingyao married in her previous life in advance, but now she is not interested. She wants to marry the prince. Luo Jingyao can do it even if he is a sick man, so why can't she?
But what she didn't expect was that because of Luo Jingyao's words, the good reputation she maintained would plummet and hit rock bottom today.
After looking at Luo Jingyao hatefully, she turned around and left the place directly. Her back was full of loneliness, grievance, confusion and pain.
Relying on the railing! Staring at the koi swimming freely in the pond with dull eyes.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, why is life so difficult? I have never fought or fought. I just want to spend more time with the elderly. Am I wrong?" He Lingyao asked the fish in the pond sadly,
She especially loves fish like this because she was a fish that became a spirit in her previous life.
Watching the koi swimming around, she felt so comfortable and relaxed that she even wanted to take a dip in the water.
"The world values filial piety, and filial piety comes first. With the word filial piety, the whole family is safe; the nature of heaven and earth is that human beings are precious; and there is nothing more important than filial piety. I just want to spend more time with the elders who have loved me since I was a child. Can't I do that? I am a small and weak woman.
"I have no power, no money, and only a sincere desire to be filial to my grandmother, but there are always various voices of doubt." He Lingyao was overwhelmed with grief, lowered his eyes and shed tears. She cried so beautifully.
, the tears fell into the pool one by one like pearls.
The fish in the water rushed towards He Lingyao, but He Lingyao seemed not to notice, wiped the corners of his eyes and turned away.
After He Lingyao left, a man emerged from the rockery. It was the second prince Xiao Mingan. He was the daughter of the imperial concubine. He looked at the retreating figure with deep eyes.
interesting.
After being criticized for his clumsy tongue, he didn't dare to say anything in person, but he hid aside and cried sadly. This made the second prince, who was always used to being strong, feel a little strange, and he felt pity for her, especially when he saw that he was not throwing away fish food.
, the sight of actually attracting fish shocked the second prince even more.
In his heart, he admired He Lingyao's filial piety and knowledge, but he also disliked the foolish way the Duke's government mistook pearls for fish eyes.
Although this He Lingyao is not their biological child, she is also their niece, filial, sensible, kind and knowledgeable.
But he didn't see anything special about Luo Jingyao from the Duke's Mansion. The most special thing was probably her sickly body.
The second prince particularly dislikes those sick people. He hates them regardless of gender.
Luo Jingyao didn't know that He Lingyao had played such a trick to make the second prince dislike her for no reason, but she became interested in He Lingyao.
But it didn't matter to her, since she didn't want to marry the second prince anyway. The person she was given to marry was Prince An, as long as Prince An didn't think she was stupid and sick.
But speaking of it, Wang An seemed to know that she was pretending to be ill when he said what he said today.
So will she treat An Wang as she always is in the future, or will she pretend to be a horoscope to allow her to recover and find an excuse for her physical recovery?
Tangled!
Just play it by ear.
The spring banquet held today ended in a hurry. After leaving the palace, the duke and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Wu'anhou, they got on the carriage back home.
When they came out, Luo Mingwu was in a carriage with He Lingyao. When they came back, Luo Mingwu was always afraid, so he took the carriage with them.
He Lingyao stamped her feet and was very unhappy, but she had no choice. No one invited her to the Duke's carriage, so she could only return to the carriage where she was sitting alone in frustration, almost tearing the curtain of the carriage.
On the carriage of the Duke's wife, Luo Jingyao was stunned when she saw Luo Mingwu's pale face and dazed look. Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, before I had time to drink a cup of tea, I heard that the second room called the doctor to treat Luo Mingwu who had fallen into the water. Because Luo Mingwu had a fever and was unconscious in bed, but kept talking nonsense.
He was talking gibberish, terrified, and the tears in his eyes never stopped.
"Madam, the wintersweet from the old lady's yard is here." The Duke's wife had just changed into light clothes when she heard Xichun come in and replied.
The Duke's wife paused: "Do you know what it is?"
"Back to Madam, it has something to do with entering the palace today." Lamei replied softly. As long as Madam is here, the old Madam always has countless demands and excuses.
"I know." The Duke's wife said calmly, and even drank a cup of tea.
"The old lady also asked Du Juan to go to Lan Yue Ju to call the eldest lady over." Lamei was even more worried. The eldest lady's health has been not good, but there is always no time to stop in the house.
"Come on, let's go over there. Where are the Duke and the young masters?" They were still there when they left.
"Back to Madam, the Duke of Guo took several young masters to the military camp."
Luo Jingkong and the other two people have some official positions. Although the emperor wants them to go if they don't want to go, but they still have official positions, so there will be a problem if they don't go. Unless their parents and children go to resign, they will be in trouble without official positions. In this way, they
Then I can take him to the house to spend more time with Xiao Liu all the time, and I can also find more dowries for Xiao Liu.
"The Marquis sent someone over today so that Madam you can have time to go to the Marquis's residence with the eldest lady and the Duke of Guo. The Marquis misses the eldest lady."
"I see."
Before, the Marquis of Zhen Guo and Marquis Gu had reminded his daughter and son-in-law that if the emperor wanted to grant a marriage to his granddaughter, the Duke and his wife must refuse. However, they did not expect that the emperor directly issued the decree without asking their opinions.
Luo Jingyao couldn't leave alone without caring about her parents and family. Just like this, both families accepted this ridiculous marriage.
Lord Gu originally wanted to use his military power to obtain his granddaughter's freedom of marriage, especially the fact that she could not enter the palace. Unexpectedly, he didn't even have time to take action, and the matter had already been settled.
He immediately threw a set of his favorite tea cups away from the old man.
Originally, Weng and his son-in-law were thinking about which one of them would hand over military power in order to bring peace to his family, but they didn't expect that the old emperor would directly take such a step. The two men had similar tempers, so they just pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't mention it at all.
The matter of handing over military power.
In the past, they could hand over military power unconditionally, but now, they will only hold on tighter. They cannot joke with the lives of the family, and they must support their daughter (granddaughter).
The Duke's wife sighed, they should indeed tell their father, and they still had to discuss what to do next.
"Mother."
"There's no need to go there when you're tired." She already knew what the old lady was going to say. It was just repeating the same old tune, with nothing new at all. She was tired of dealing with it and couldn't arouse her desire to quarrel with others.
"My daughter is not tired." She wanted to join in the fun, especially to see what trouble happened between He Lingyao and her daughter.
She likes nothing more than watching moths kill themselves.
"If you're not tired, then go over and have a look and learn a little bit." She was worried about the day when her daughter would get married and go out. Monsters and demons would appear frequently in Kyoto, and she was afraid that her daughter wouldn't be able to cope with it.
