After watching the ceremony at Chongzheng Hall, the daughter of the Sheng family got on the palace car sent by Queen Cao, drove out of Zuoyemen, and headed all the way towards Jiying Lane where the Sheng Mansion is located.
Mrs. Sheng and Wang Ruofu were riding in the same car and sitting opposite each other as when they arrived.
It's just different from the excitement when he came. Not only Wang Ruofu's face was full of sadness, but Mrs. Sheng also changed from her usual self-cultivation. She was upset and restless.
Just now on the viewing platform, Empress Cao made a pretext and wanted to betroth the twins of the Sheng family to the unmarried Liu Yuan Lang Wei Chen, which put Wang Ruofu in a dilemma.
Wang Ruofu had no choice but to say that he wanted to go back to his residence to discuss with her husband Sheng Hong, and then he reluctantly let Empress Cao nod so that he could escape.
Afterwards, Empress Cao drove back to the palace, and all the official documents dispersed, and they got on the carriage. Wang Ruofu, who couldn't hold it in anymore, quickly told Mrs. Sheng the whole story of the incident.
Hearing that such changes had occurred in her granddaughter's marriage, Mrs. Sheng was stunned for a while, and it took her a long time to regain her composure.
In fact, Mrs. Sheng had long known that both Ru Lan and Ming Lan were secretly interested in Wei Chenfang, but she understood better that marriage should be a well-matched match.
Although Wei Chen is not what he used to be, Ru Lan is after all a legitimate daughter of an official family, so she can barely match him.
But what about Minglan?
In this world, Wei Shuyi's mother and son were saved, and Minglan no longer had the opportunity to be recorded in Wang Ruofu's name, and she could only be a concubine from beginning to end.
With such a status, even Mrs. Sheng, who loves Minglan the most, has to admit that Minglan is not worthy of today's Wei Chen.
Therefore, when they were on the viewing platform, Mrs. Sheng just asked Wang Ruofu to take Rulan to present to Empress Cao, and she cruelly kept Minglan by her side.
Minglan has always been smart, so naturally she can't see this clearly. She doesn't blame her grandmother for this. She just thinks that she has no fate with Wei Chen in this life, and she is secretly sad in her heart.
But a series of changes that followed took both Mrs. Sheng and Minglan by surprise.
Rulan not only pleased Queen Cao, but also recommended Minglan to Queen Cao. After Queen Cao met Minglan, she even made a shocking statement. She actually wanted to treat Rulan and Minglan sisters together.
Betrothed to Wei Chen.
"One concubine and one concubine, one wife and one concubine. This empress really thinks of everything she wants."
Old Mrs. Sheng smiled bitterly and shook her head. She looked at Wang Ruofu, who looked worried and sighed, and couldn't help but snorted secretly.
Old Mrs. Sheng knew her daughter-in-law very well and had already seen through it. In Wang Ruofu's heart, Minglan, the little mother-in-law who raised a concubine, was not even as good as Rulan.
I have to say that Mrs. Sheng has a sharp eye and is very accurate in judging people. This is what Wang Ruofu is thinking at this moment.
For Wang Ruofu, the most important thing was to hold on to Wei Chen, a son-in-law who could not come across him once in a century. As for marrying Minglan, it was no different from marrying a roommate, and it really didn't mean anything. The reason why Wang Ruofu didn't agree to Empress Cao's proposal on the spot was that he had suffered enough from Lin Sushuang and was worried that if Minglan, Wei Chen's cousin, became a concubine with a higher status than the concubine, she would usurp the throne and take away the throne.
He gained the love of his own daughter Rulan.
Er Ye was a rare smart person. He knew that this matter was a life-long matter for his two daughters. He could not make the decision by himself, so Sheng Hong, the head of the family, had to make the decision.
Thirdly, Minglan was raised in Mrs. Sheng’s room. If she really wanted to marry her off, Mrs. Sheng would have to nod her head and agree. This old lady is a proud and arrogant person. She might want to marry her off.
Which prince's family will my granddaughter marry into as the head wife?
It can only be said that Wang Ruofu doesn't know his mother-in-law at all. In fact, Mrs. Sheng has never thought about letting Minglan marry.
After experiencing ups and downs for most of her life, Mrs. Sheng has long seen through that all glory and wealth are fake, and a stable and happy life is real.
In fact, Mrs. Sheng didn't think much about it at all. She only cared about one thing, and that was whether Minglan herself was willing or not.
At the same time, in another carriage carrying the three sisters of the Sheng family, Ru Lan and Ming Lan, who had their own concerns, were speechless. Only Mo Lan kept chattering, chasing after the two sisters and asking questions.
"Isn't it just the fifth sister and her mother who went to pay homage to the Queen? Why did they call the sixth sister over later?"
"My mother looked very worried when she came back, and my grandmother's face didn't look very good either. What did the Queen say to you?"
"Also, are the bracelets on your hands a gift from the Queen? Why do they look exactly the same?"
……
"I'm so annoyed, shut up!"
Ru Lan was already upset, but now she was so annoyed by Mo Lan that her head was about to explode, and she immediately glared at Mo Lan.
Minglan couldn't stand it anymore and said softly: "Fourth sister, just say less."
"You know how to gang up and bully me!"
Mo Lan sniffed aggrievedly, her eyes were misty, but she also knew that her green tea method was only useful for Sheng Hong, not Ru Lan and Ming Lan, so even though she was unhappy in her heart, she still closed her mouth wisely.
.
Without Mo Lan's noise, the car suddenly became much cleaner. Ru Lan and Ming Lan couldn't help but smile at each other, but their eyes only met for a moment, and then they moved away in panic. The faces of the two sisters revealed that
A little unnatural.
The two sisters were a little overwhelmed by what happened on the viewing platform today.
Rulan deliberately mentioned Minglan in front of Queen Cao so that Minglan could also be summoned. The purpose was to give Minglan a fair chance to compete, and at the same time to make herself feel at ease. Rulan also did not expect that it would end up like this.
.
The most incredible thing for Rulan was that after experiencing the initial shock, she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to object to marrying Wei Chen with Minglan.
When the eldest sister Hua Lan returned home, she once told Ru Lan about her way of controlling her husband. According to Hua Lan, it is common for men in this world to have three wives and four concubines, but if a woman is jealous and stops her, it becomes a problem.<
/p>
The way to control a husband is like controlling water. It is better to block it than to remove it. While acknowledging the fact that a man is obsessed with money, you should limit his flirting within a controllable range and let the man know the sacrifices you have made for him, which can minimize the number of people who are obsessed with him.
Men's love.
Of course, the premise is that this man’s conscience has not been eaten by a dog.
Ru Lan was young at the time and didn't understand what her sister was saying. She even thought that her sister was putting herself down and that what she said was all unreasonable.
But after seeing it more and more, Ru Lan realized the truth bit by bit.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s talk about the men of the Sheng family that Ru Lan is most familiar with. Sheng Hong has one wife and two concubines, Sheng Changfeng also has several beautiful female servants in the house, and even the upright second brother Sheng Changbai is also unmarried.
First we have a common room.
Since sooner or later there will be flowers and plants from outside entering the door, then why can't this person be my sister Minglan?
At least she knows Minglan's past and her character. There seems to be nothing wrong with the two sisters supporting each other.
