ALL NOVEL Chapter 11: The husband's integrity is admirable
Madam Yanglinghou's expression darkened. Although Shen Qing's words were sound, they were offensive to her ears.
"What are you talking about? Since you are married to Qian'er, you are one husband and wife, so do you have to understand it clearly?
What's more, Xue Fu and Qian'er were childhood sweethearts, but she could only enter the family as a concubine. She had wronged her. What's wrong with you, the principal wife, being more lenient to her? "
Listening to Mrs. Yanglinghou's increasingly outrageous words, Shen Qing mercilessly exposed her true thoughts, "Why did my husband abandon his childhood sweetheart Lin Xuefu and marry me? Everyone knows it, and now he wants to marry me." Don’t you think that I am overreaching in my position of being the main wife and living in the same place as the master?”
All of Shen Qing's thoughts were exposed, and the two aunts were still present. Madam Yanglinghou was furious, "You bastard! As the main wife, you are so intolerant of others, and you openly contradict your mother-in-law. Are you going to rebel?" !”
Shen Qing refused to give in, "If as the principal wife, you have to compromise and allow others to bully you, then it's okay for the principal wife not to do it!"
Mrs. Yanglinghou's eyes widened and she pointed at Shen Qing angrily, "You!"
Seeing that the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic, Lin Xuefu, with red eyes, took the initiative to calm down the situation, "Aunt and sister, please stop arguing. This matter is my fault. It is my honor to be loved by my aunt and cousin, but I should not ignore the overall situation. Take it all, it’s my lack of understanding of the rules that led to today’s situation.”
After saying that, he raised his hand to take off the golden hairpin from his bun, and handed it respectfully to Shen Qing's hand, "This is my sister's thing. Now it's time to return it to its original owner. I'll send the rest later." I was sent to my sister’s yard and treated like this. Is she still satisfied?”
Shen Qing didn't move, Chanyi stepped forward and took the gold hairpin handed over by Lin Xuefu.
Shen Qing raised her lips slightly, "Aunt Lin really understands the general situation. No wonder my mother and husband favor her."
Lin Xuefu said softly, "Sister, I'm so impressed."
At this point, the matter was settled satisfactorily, but Mrs. Yanglinghou still had a breath in her heart. After a moment of patience, she couldn't hold it back. "The land deed has been handed over and the dowry has been returned. Then please explain Qian'er's behavior this morning and noon. Why are all the meals missing?”
Shen Qing smiled sarcastically, "Of course it's my husband's own intention. My husband is noble and does not want to use my money. His integrity is admirable. Even if I, the wife of the wife, don't know the general situation, I can't openly undermine my husband." , so not only are there no two meals today, but I will not interfere every day in the future.”
Mu Ziqian had a heart attack. He never thought that Shen Qing would be so vengeful. Looking at Shen Qing who was teasing and teasing Shen Qing, Mu Ziqian couldn't even bring himself to ask for this favor, so he had to look away angrily. .
Isn't it just a few meals? It's not like he can't afford it!
As soon as the thought came to an end, Shen Qing continued, "By the way, not only meals, but also monthly payments and expenses will be cancelled."
Mu Ziqian was even more upset, but Shen Qing still had a smile on his face, "In this way, my husband has saved a lot of money in the account. He is worthy of being the only son-in-law in the family. He really knows how to do it." Shen Qing admires him for thinking about the whole government."
Now, not only Mu Ziqian had a heart attack, but Madam Yanglinghou and Lin Xuefu also felt depressed.
Mu Ziqian, a dashing young man who only knew love and romance, had no money left to speak of. If Shen Qing didn't give it, it would be up to them, their mother and childhood sweetheart.
Lin Xuefu felt a little bit resentful. She suffered such a big loss at the hands of Shen Qing yesterday, and she didn't even remember to go to Shen Qing's side that night. In the end, she caused a lot of mess and asked them to clean it up, but on her face, Not revealed at all.
No one knows better than her how to behave when living under someone else's roof.
"It's getting late, so I'll go back first, but before I leave, there's one more thing I want to remind my mother and husband. Although the crown prince's concubine is said to be from the prince's palace, she is now the serious master of the East Palace. Yesterday's concubine It is better for mother and husband to abide by the stay-at-home order issued by the empress herself. "
After saying this, Shen Qing said goodbye to everyone, turned around and left with Chanyi.
This time, no one dared to stop him.
…
The sun was still shining brightly during the feeding period, but Shen Qing felt extremely comfortable and allowed the sun to fall on her head.
"Miss, when you asked Madam for the land deed just now, Madam was obviously unwilling but finally gave it to her. On the surface, Madam did not want the middle child in the house to fall into the hands of the two aunts, but I always felt that something was wrong. It’s more than that.”
Chanyi has been following Shen Qing since she was a child, and her experience and intelligence are far beyond those of ordinary girls.
"Then what do you think is unusual?"
Chanyi thought for a while before speaking: "Last year, within two months of your arrival, Madam handed over the gift of the Marquis Mansion to you. This shows that Madam is eager to get rid of this hot potato. Now, The situation is no more conceding than last year. In all likelihood, the host of the Zhongfang still has to pay for it herself. However, despite this, the madam still does not want to let the two aunts touch the power of the Zhongfang head. Although this can be explained as Madam doesn’t want her two aunts to threaten her position as the main wife, but I still feel that Madam’s reaction is a bit too big, especially when you mention the Marquis, there is a hint of unnoticeable panic in Madam’s eyes. , so this servant feels that the madam must be hiding some secrets that she doesn’t want to be discovered by the Marquis, and this secret must be related to the middle minister.”
Shen Qing gave her an appreciative look, "Yes, I have become more and more unique in thinking about things."
"I accidentally checked some of the account books from previous years. Although there seems to be no problem on the surface, if you look closely, you will find that many accounts are not correct."
Chan Yi was stunned, "Did Madam embezzle the money in the account?"
Shen Qing nodded.
Chan Yi was still a little puzzled, "The madam is in charge of the household affairs. If she needs money, she can just go and get it directly. But she has to do it secretly. Could it be that the purpose is not right?"
Shen Qing smiled, "It can't be considered wrong, but it can't be known by Yangling Hou, otherwise, at the least, there will be a big quarrel, and at the worst, her position as the main wife will be threatened."
Chan Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then it can only be... to subsidize her parents' family?"
Shen Qing said "hmm" and continued, "Lin's family background is not high, but she has accompanied Yangling Hou through the most difficult times, so she can sit firmly in the position of the main wife. After all, Aunt Liang and Aunt Qiu are far more suitable for this position than Lin in terms of family background and talent."
Yangling Hou is not the legitimate child of the old Yangling Hou, but was brought back by the old Yangling Hou when he returned from garrisoning the border.
In the past, when the old Yangling Marquis had just gotten married, the border was in danger of war, and the old Wulie Marquis died. As the only son, Wulie Marquis naturally had to mourn, and the general who guarded the country was stationed in the western border and had no time to take care of it, so the selection of people to go to the expedition became a problem.
At this time, it was the old Yangling Marquis who had just been married for more than a month who stood up and volunteered to go to the border. This trip lasted for sixteen years.
Sixteen years later, the old Yangling Marquis returned triumphantly, but behind him followed an adult and a child.
