It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 49 Mother-in-law

Lu Yufei and Zhao Zixun left the study, and only halfway through, Zhao Zixun left.

Lu Yufei couldn’t bear it all the way. When she returned to Yi Nian Yard, she couldn’t bear it anymore and threw the hand stove to the ground.

Charcoal stars were still burning in the hand furnace, and they fell on the ground and made a loud noise, and fire ideas splashed everywhere. The dowry maid was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: “The concubine of the elder concubine calms down. Your body is gold and precious, and it’s not worth it to be angry.”

The dowry maid succumbed to Lu Yufei, and the other maid squatted on the ground, quietly picking up charcoal scraps. Everyone was silent, for fear that they would bump into Lu Yufei’s breath. Lu Yufei was angry for a while, and finally eased off, and asked, “Where has the eldest son gone?”

“The son of the elder is in the small study room.” The maid said, picking up the good words, “now that the first month is not out, the son of the elder is taking the initiative to go to the study to study. It is really a gentleman who is quick and easy to learn. The concubine of the elder is married to such a noble and elegant Motivated husband-in-law, I don’t know how many people envy you outside. The concubine must take care of your health and live well with your elder son. You should not let outsiders read jokes.”

Lu Yufei finally calmed down when he heard Zhao Zixun in the small study. But Lu Yufei was startled, and suddenly thought of something: “Who else is in the study?”

The maid paused, embarrassed, Lu Yufei became more and more angry, and scolded angrily: “Say!”

The maid sighed and whispered: “Zhou Meiren is also here. The prince gave her a special offer to allow Zhou Meiren to go in and out of the small study freely. Everything is as costly as him. Early today, Zhou Meiren went to the study.”

I had expected it a long time ago, but when I heard it, Lu Yufei still trembled with anger. She photographed the case hard, and scolded angrily: “This bitch!”

The dowry maid gave Lu Yufei calmly, and persuaded him in a low voice: “Earth concubine, which man does not accept concubines, let alone the elder son is still a noble concubine. Sooner or later, you will have to take this step, so the elder concubine will look away. Don’t have a grudge with your eldest son because of this. A woman is the most jealous and jealous. A concubine is just a concubine.

“Can I not understand this? If I’m jealous, I won’t give him a concubine on the first day.” Lu Yufei’s chest rose and fell, and tears burst out from the corner of his eyes, “I just can’t get angry. I’m the main room. Even if he likes those foxes, he can’t get more treatment than me. But look at him, I don’t have jewelry, he is the first to reward Zhou Shunhua. There is obviously a difference between inside and outside, and women can’t set foot in the outer courtyard, but he allows Zhou Shunhua to do whatever he wants Go in and out of his study. If things go on like this, this is going to dominate the concubine and destroy his wife!”

The maid sighed. The concubine was a concubine when she was in her natal family. She was used to fighting for the top and being so strong that she always suppressed the concubine. Now when I came to Prince Jing’s Mansion, no one was holding her. Following her, the concubine’s mentality couldn’t be adjusted.

The maid continued to persuade: “The concubine, this time is different from the past. This is the Jing Palace, not the Lu family. The prince is of royal blood. Only others follow him in everything. How can he follow others? You have to bear with me. When you give birth to a son, your position will be stable. Don’t forget, there is King Jing behind you. You are the daughter-in-law chosen by the prince himself, and the women in the backyard will jump around again. As long as the prince is there, they will turn around. No splashes.”

Hearing King Jing, Lu Yufei’s mood slowly calmed down. Yes, she still has King Jing as her backer. To put it bluntly, this is the Prince Jing’s mansion. When she gives birth to the grandson of the Prince Jing’s mansion, she takes the opportunity to talk to King Jing. Presumably, King Jing will take those things without her. A beauty dealt with it.

King Jing is the real master of this mansion. Under the absolute power of King Jing, Zhao Zixun’s favor has no power to fight back.

Lu Yufei was in a better mood. Looking at today’s situation, King Jing is still facing her, and her biggest trump card is still indestructible. Lu Yufei was calm, and finally thought about other things: “What the **** is going on with the Xu family? Last night, Shizi came to question me, and I was confused.”

The maid replied: “The slave and maid made it clear today. Uncle Chen’s family has been imprisoned in the gambling shop during this period. But on the night of the 14th, someone suddenly knocked on the door of Chen’s house by night and gave them a large sum of money. , It happened to be the amount owed by the gambling house. The Chen family was grateful and joyful, but the other party refused to say her identity, only that she was a person next to the son of the world, so that they should redeem her uncle as soon as possible, and don’t worry about the rest.”

Lu Yufei asked: “What then?”

“Then Chen Tai came back. They thought it was the son who came forward, and they were so happy. Mrs. Xu almost fainted after listening.”

Lu Yufei’s face turned gloomy, she was arrogant, but not a fool, she had already felt the hidden crisis in it. Lu Yufei calmly asked, “Who gave the money?”

Looking at Zhao Zixun’s performance last night, he had just learned about Mrs. Xu and Chen Tai, obviously not the money he sent. So, who saved Chen Tai?

The maid leaned to Lu Yufei’s ear and said in a low voice: “I heard the gatekeeper say that the people around Zhou Shunhua had gone out on the evening of the 14th. Moreover, Zhou Shunhua left early at the Lantern Festival yesterday.”

Lu Yufei slapped the table hard and said angrily: “Bitch!”

By now, how could Lu Yufei not understand that she was calculated. Mrs. Xu visited during the first year of junior high. Although Lu Yufei didn’t like Mrs. Xu, he was not stupid enough to provoke the relationship between his biological mother and child. She originally planned to tell Zhao Zixun about the casino as soon as possible, but Zhao Zixun didn’t come to her room that night, and then there were continuous interruptions, and then Lu Yufei wanted to prepare for the Lantern Festival banquet. Gradually, she would I forgot about it.

Yesterday, Zhao Zixun confronted Lu Yufei with anger, and Lu Yufei was surprised that there was still such a thing. In fact, Lu Yufei just forgot, but Zhao Zixun didn’t believe it. He felt that Lu Yufei was deliberately neglecting Mrs. Xu’s affairs, and Lu Yufei could not tell, and the two started quarreling.

Now Lu Yufei finally understood that it was not accidental that she was interrupted some time ago, but Zhou Shunhua deliberately arranged it. Zhou Shunhua secretly blocked Lu Yufei, and when the Chen family became impatient, she let her own people come forward to redeem Chen Tai back, and cleverly borrowed the name of Zhao Zixun. On the fifteenth day, all the dust had settled, Zhou Shunhua no longer inadvertently revealed to Zhao Zixun, Zhao Zixun only needed a little investigation to find out what happened. When he knows that Zhou Shunhua has solved the matter quietly, without leaving his name at all, he will surely increase his favor.

And Lu Yufei suddenly became a wicked wife who was unfilial and unkind.

Lu Yufei was stunned to death, but who did she let her carelessness be caught by someone else’s trick? Lu Yufei can only admit it. The maid persuaded: “Don’t worry, concubine, the eldest son is only angry for a while. Young couples, how can they not quarrel? Lu Yao knows horsepower and sees people’s hearts over time. After a long time, the eldest son will understand what you are like. people.”

Lu Yufei shook her head, she found it difficult. Zhao Zixun may still have room for maneuver here. The real trouble is Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was originally dissatisfied with Lu Yufei, but now after being compared by Zhou Shunhua, Mrs. Xu doesn’t know how much she hates Lu Yufei.

Mrs. Xu is the hurdle that their husband and wife can’t get through. Lu Yufei really can’t greet the vulgar lady with a smile, and now Zhou Shunhua has won a good impression, Lu Yufei is too late to do anything.

Lu Yufei heard voices outside, she straightened up and asked: “What’s wrong outside?”

The maid went out to ask, and came back to report: “The concubine of the resurrection, it is the grandmother Zhang who trained the little girl.”

“Oh?” Lu Yufei was surprised, “Where is the nanny so angry?”

“Mother Zhang just came back from the warehouse, she seems to be neglected, she is angry.”

Lu Yufei heard it silently. She squeezed the veil and stared at the censer next to her for a long time. The maid was scared, and asked quietly: “The concubine, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Yufei faintly said: “I used to see people holding high and low when I was at home. At that time, I was pitying my concubine. I didn’t expect it to be my turn now.”

“Shizi concubine!” The maid was surprised and called out quickly, “What are you talking about?”

Lu Yufei was silent. It has only been so long that the people in the warehouse dared to neglect her. If they wait for Zhou Shunhua to be favored, and even more give birth to heirs, what should Lu Yufei do?

She can’t sit still, she must take the initiative.

Lu Yufei waved to the maid and said, “I’m quiet by myself, you all go down.”

The dowry maid wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she didn’t dare to persuade too hard, so Yiyan retreated. Lu Yufei sat in the inner room alone, staring at the green smoke rising slowly, slowly thinking about his thoughts.

Can Zhou Shunhua fight for favor by courting her mother-in-law, but Lu Yufei can’t? Only evil ways can defeat evil ways. Since Zhou Shunhua moved out of her mother-in-law, Lu Yufei also found a mother-in-law.

A real mother-in-law of etiquette.

Lu Yufei made up his mind quickly and decided to post to Xi Yunchu. The water in Prince Jing’s Mansion is too deep, and Lu Yufei needs someone to help her. It just so happened that Xi Yun wanted to marry King Jing.

This is simply providence.

The concubine has fallen out of favor. These signs were not obvious at first, but the frequency of the death in the concubine’s house was a little bit lower, and the time spent in each concubine’s house was a little less. God.

At first, she thought that Zhao Zixun and her would be stunned, and it would be fine for two days. Lu Yufei didn’t expect that the matter would be so serious this time.

There is a difference between wives and concubines. The first and fifteenth days are always the days in the main house. According to the etiquette, no matter how many concubines there are in the backyard, they must stay in the house of the wives on the first and fifteenth days. Even the emperor, these two days You have to go and pose in the Queen’s Palace.

If you don’t even give this respect, then you’ll tear your face and slap your face openly.

Lu Yufei stayed up all night, so it was easy to endure every ten days of greetings. Lu Yufei arrived at Yan’an Yuan early and wanted to take the opportunity to complain to King Jing. As soon as Lu Yufei entered the door, he was stunned when he saw the people in the house.

Teacher Tang is also there.

Shishi Tang is a person who has no chance to create opportunities. She found that the intersection between her and Zhao Zixun was very poor recently, and Zhao Zixun seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. Since the last time Master Tang brought King Jing to the scene of the crime, Zhao Zixun’s few favors for Master Tang have been cleared.

Master Tang learned from the pain, and felt that she couldn’t be discouraged, so she would continue to work hard. Since Zhao Zixun avoided her, she took the initiative to appear in front of Zhao Zixun.

He hides from Master Tang, he dare not hide from King Jing, right?

So, on the day that Teacher Tang was inviting an’an, he boarded the gate of Yan’anyuan early in the morning. This is not the first time she has done this kind of thing, and Master Tang is familiar with the road. She stood calmly at the door, with her head high and no embarrassment.

As long as she is not embarrassed, others are embarrassed. Sure enough, Zhao Chengjun couldn’t bear it anymore, and asked her to be led in with a cold face.

Before Lu Yufei came in, Zhao Chengjun was holding back his anger and settled accounts with Master Tang: “Do you know what you are doing?”

Teacher Tang looked straightforward and confident: “The little girl is greeting the prince. This is a piece of filial piety from the little girl…”

Filial piety? Zhao Chengjun squinted his eyes, and Tang Shishi raised his face boldly, as if he was sure that Zhao Chengjun would not do anything to her. Zhao Chengjun became more and more angry. At this time, Liu Ji brought a pangong orange. Zhao Chengjun picked one up and smashed it directly at Tang Shishi’s head.

Master Tang was taken aback, and hurriedly hid two steps backwards to catch the orange. Master Tang let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Chengjun in surprise and accusation: “My lord, I am a delicate little girl, why did you put such a heavy hand on me?”

Oops, Liu Ji stood on the side with the fruit plate, neither advancing nor retreating, it was quite redundant. Zhao Chengjun’s face darkened when he heard this, his eyes swept around, and everyone inside and outside bowed his head, as if he could not see or hear. Zhao Chengjun was a little embarrassed, lowered his throat slightly, and scolded: “Be cautious in words and actions, haven’t you remembered the lesson last time?”

The words of Master Tang weren’t anything at all. When brothers, sisters or friends said such words, they would only seem to have a good relationship. However, Zhao Chengjun is an adult man.

This kind of scene, this kind of tone makes people think about it, and even Zhao Chengjun himself suddenly thinks of that aspect.

Zhao Chengjun meant to scold him, but after he said those words, Liu Ji wailed in his heart.

Last lesson? What lesson, why don’t everyone know?

Zhao Chengjun found out that something was wrong after he finished speaking, so it sounds more likely to be misunderstood. Seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, Master Tang thought that what she said just now was too arrogant, and immediately ran to Zhao Chengjun with a smile, and while peeling the oranges, she said, “The little girl remembers, Xie Wangye taught. The little girl has nothing to say, this is your thanks. ceremony.”

Zhao Chengjun Liangliang glanced at her and said, “This is my king’s thing.”

Zhao Chengjun was thinking about who would have thought of her hypocrisy, and thanking him with his things was too insincere. However, when he glanced at random, his eyes couldn’t be separated.

Master Tang’s fingers were long and white, and they looked like lush white, and even the nails were shiny and radiant. Holding her fingers on the oranges, she was peeling them, splashing the fragrant juice on her hands, slowly sliding down the fingers.

It seems to be extra delicious.

Zhao Chengjun forgot what he was going to say for a while, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, his eyes darkened. Liu Ji stood aside with a large tribute orange, and was finally convinced that it was time for him to leave.

Liu Ji was a person who served in the inner court, and he entered and exited quietly. He put the orange on the table beside him, winked, and led a group of people out of the room and guarded the door.

When Lu Yufei entered the door, many people were disturbed, and the teacher Tang in the room was also quarreled. When she turned her head, she was in direct sight with Lu Yufei.

Master Tang hasn’t reacted yet, and Lu Yufei’s eyes are particularly horrified. Lu Yufei seemed to be caught off guard, she looked around the room quickly, and was in a dilemma: “Master Wang, forgive me. Daughter-in-law… Isn’t it time to come?”
