After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother - Chapter 90
Throughout the ages, the most unpredictable situation is at the feet of the emperor. The emperor’s mind is unpredictable. When he thinks about the rise of a rookie, he thinks about the collapse of an aristocratic family. After Wang Yushi was reprimanded by His Majesty for not repairing the inner house, almost all officials in the court could see that the Wang family had lost the emperor’s heart.
Once a well-established and well-established family loses power, it may overturn overnight, or it may gradually lose silently. The Wang family prides themselves on being pure and noble for a hundred years, and relying on His Majesty’s gratitude to the Queen Dowager, these years have been extremely prosperous. A few months ago, they were probably still thinking about taking advantage of the second prince’s influence to make the family go further, but they didn’t expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. Even if they divided the three rooms, it would be in vain.
For several days, the gate of the Wang family was closed.
It was not until Mrs. Chang’s 80th birthday that the Wang family members went out for a walk.
Du and Lan’s sisters-in-law greeted the guests in Chang’s mansion. When Lan saw Ye Ping, she laughed from ear to ear, praised her for her good fortune, and congratulated her.
Although she did not publicize the pregnancy, such a thing cannot be concealed at all. Because she is now the princess of the county and she is pregnant, she naturally receives the best hospitality.
Ye Shi also brought Ye Ting to this banquet, which was Ye Ting’s first official appearance. A few days ago, the Song and Ye families had finalized their wedding date, which was the first auspicious day after autumn.
Wen Yu didn’t know how he negotiated with Song Jinyuan, anyway, Song Jinyuan readily handed over all his private property. Of course, his private property is not as good as Wen Yu’s, but it is still very passable. Those things went out of the left pocket and went in the right pocket, and they were all used as Ye Ting’s dowry.
Ye Ting knew that her eldest sister loved her, so she cried at that time.
Ye Ping hugged her to comfort her for a long time, and teased her that she would not marry if she was reluctant to marry, but she shook her head firmly despite the tears on her face.
If women don’t stay in university, if they stay or stay, they will become enemies.
Song Jinyuan is not in a hurry, the wedding date will naturally not be delayed until next year.
After the wedding date was set, the sisters had a lot of conversations alone. Ye Ping was still not at ease after talking about it, and repeatedly told her that if there was something wrong, she should tell her family immediately.
Ye Ting solemnly agreed, saying that she would definitely pay attention.
The Song family is very satisfied with her. One is her strength, which is very suitable for General Song’s wishes. The second is that she matches Song Jinyuan’s horoscope, which won Mrs. Song’s heart. The most important thing is that she is Song Jinyuan’s only wife candidate. In other words, without her, Song Jinyuan would most likely not be able to get married.
Even for this reason, the whole Song family was so satisfied with her that they couldn’t be more satisfied. Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Song saw them, she immediately came over with a smile.
Ye Shi has not participated in such a formal banquet for many years, so he is naturally a little cautious. Fortunately, Mrs. Song was talkative, so she let go of it slowly.
From time to time, people came to say hello to her, some she knew and some she didn’t. With Mrs. Song’s suggestion, she can barely handle it.
The most unpredictable things in the world, who would have thought that the previously unknown Ye family would become the upstart of Yongchang City.
The so-called ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, Mrs. Ye herself thought that this day would come. The husband is already the Imperial College Jijiu, the eldest daughter is the princess of the county, and the second daughter is about to marry the only son of the general’s mansion. The two son-in-laws, Jian Zai, are better than the other. The two sons also studied hard and won the respect of Guo Fuzi.
Changes in people’s attitudes towards others are most immediately perceived.
What she felt was the flattery and intentional friendship of others, and she felt flattered. If the eldest daughter hadn’t reminded her one or two times before, I’m afraid she would have lost her composure to some extent.
Contrary to her is the feeling of the Wang family, the gap is as big as two heavens. Even if others still talked and greeted them, the subtle change in attitude was the most uncomfortable.
The process of a family withdrawing from the stage of history may be long and painful. The kind of powerlessness that still fails to regain its glory after struggling hard is the most tormenting thing.
Mrs. Wen is not like this.
In the past, when she attended such an occasion, not to mention being a celebrity, she was also the object of many people’s fawning. Now, she doesn’t say that she is neglected, but she can clearly feel that others are deliberately avoiding her.
So when Mrs. Ye was being flattered, the wives of the Wang family looked as ugly as they could be.
Ye Ping and Ye Ting sisters look similar, but have completely different temperaments, and they seem to be the focus of everyone’s attention. Not to mention how happy the marriage of the pair of sisters is, the appearance of the two of them is enough to attract everyone’s attention.
After a while, there was another Wen Ruqin next to the sisters.
Who doesn’t like to see beauties, and there are still three of them.
Mrs. Chang narrowed her eyes, pointed at them and asked Mrs. Chang beside her. “Looking at the tight eyes, I don’t know which family is lucky to have such a pair of twin flowers.”
The old lady is very old, and she spends most of the year resting in the Zhuangzi outside Beijing. Therefore, Ye Ping has been to Changfu several times, but has never seen her.
Mrs. Chang said something in her mother-in-law’s ear, which made Mrs. Chang nod repeatedly.
“Understood, it’s Chengtian’s daughter-in-law and that boy Jinyuan’s daughter-in-law who has never been married. Those two boys have poisonous eyes, and they strike fast and ruthlessly. Very good, very good, I am happy to see it.”
The guests congratulated Mrs. Chang on her birthday one by one. Mrs. Chang always smiled and said a few words from time to time.
When it was the Ye family’s turn, Mrs. Chang asked Ye Ping and Ye Ting to move forward. She squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time, her eyebrows became more and more kind.
“Look at these two little faces, they look so similar and so good-looking. My old lady is very happy when she sees them, and I think Chengtian and Jinyuan are also very fond of those two boys.”
As soon as these words came out, the ladies present had different thoughts.
A lady with a vermilion and gold embroidered beige frowned after hearing Mrs. Chang’s words so much that she could kill a fly. Her fierce eyes looked at Ye’s mother and daughter, and they happened to meet Ye Ping’s eyes.
Ye Ping knew her, she was Mrs. Liu, the eldest wife of the Wang family, and Mrs. Wen’s natal sister-in-law.
Liu looked away instantly, and continued to put on airs.
The process of the family banquet is almost the same. First, the guests gather together, talk about family affairs to show off their children, and then they are seated. All the wives have their own coups, whether they are roundabout or direct, they just want to let the other wives present know that there is a young girl in their family,
I don’t know which lady mentioned the concubine, and Liu said with great disdain that the concubine is a disaster for the family. This statement was echoed by many wives, after all, no royal family would like concubines and concubine children.
Most people saw the way, and looked at Ye’s mother and daughter intentionally or unintentionally.
The previous incidents between the Ye family and the Wang family were full of turmoil, and everyone present had heard about it. A concubine broke off her natal family after she got married, Liu’s words must have meant something.
Ye’s face turned pale in an instant, fidgeting restlessly.
She is the concubine daughter of the royal family, and this is a fact that cannot be changed even if the relationship is severed. She wanted to say that she was a concubine, but her daughters were all concubines, but she couldn’t say it when the words came to her lips.
Ye Ping turned cold, and looked at Mrs. Liu, “Dare to ask this lady, where did the concubine come from?”
With her identity in mind, Liu deliberately ignored her.
There was no embarrassment on her face, nor did she show the embarrassment of being ignored. “Concubine daughters also have fathers. If there is no biological father, how can concubine daughters come from? Since concubine daughters are not born with nature, how can they be called the source of disaster?”
Liu was furious, this disrespectful thing dared to teach her a lesson!
Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to reply, Ye Ping said again: “Let’s not care about the concubines. In terms of this sentence alone, Mrs. Wang is really biased. There are so many sources of harm to the family, such as unfilial sons, such as my own errands for a while. Wrong step. How can you not make people suspect that you are making excuses for your family’s gradual decline and decay in one word.”
“Who do you say is defeated, who is rotten?” Mrs. Liu couldn’t help it anymore, their royal family is of such a family, how could they allow a **** born of a concubine to make irresponsible remarks.
Everyone’s expressions were delicate, although what the princess said was not very euphemistic. But the wives present are all married, they regard men as heaven, but they may not have no resentment towards their husbands.
It’s not that Ye Ping dared to hate Mrs. Liu at the Chang family’s banquet. She knew that the Chang family had ancestral precepts, and there had been no children born of concubines in several generations, so she stood up and confronted the Liu family.
“A family of weak bones, male, female, young and old, with black hearts. The children and grandchildren raised are like straw bags, isn’t it a sign of defeat? Isn’t it a black heart to mutilate your aunt and plan to marry a concubine?”
Many people gasped, the Princess of Xindao County was going to attack the Wang family today. Who doesn’t know where this word came from, it was clearly said by the princess herself.
Someone subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen was the daughter of the royal family. At present, the nephew and daughter-in-law of her husband’s family belittled her mother’s family like this, as the wife of the country, can she bear it?
Of course she couldn’t bear it.
She didn’t speak, but glanced at her daughter-in-law Princess Qingyang beside her. Princess Qingyang played with her nails with downcast eyes, pretending she didn’t see anything.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law competed quietly, neither of them wanted to shame themselves.
Mrs. Liu was so annoyed, there had never been a junior who dared to talk to her like that. She still had the airs of the wife of the aristocratic family, her face was livid with anger. The sisters-in-law and others who were traveling with her tried desperately to stop her, but she couldn’t listen to a word.
“This is the Chang family. The princess of the county is so defiant. Does it really mean that the Chang family is a place in the market?”
“Mrs. Wang also knows that this is the Chang family. I thought Mrs. Wang was trying to make things difficult for Mrs. Chang with her remarks just now. A good birthday banquet must be outrageous, I’m afraid it is deliberately trying to attract criticism and stir up trouble.”
“You… you’re talking nonsense!”
The two of you talk to each other, and you come and I go back and forth to confront each other. But anyone with discerning eyes can see that Mrs. Liu is not Ye Ping’s opponent. Some people secretly thought that the concubine of the county made a big fuss about Yuqing Academy before she got married.
With Ye Ping’s current status, no one would dare to easily offend her.
Liu Shi was also a little scared at first, but what she was worried about was not Ye Ping, but Wen Yu behind Ye Ping. But she was also suffocating in her heart. These days they pursued and pursued to come to a conclusion. That is, the reason why the three families had accidents one after another was because of a married concubine.
This married concubine is ignorant, and the **** born is also ignorant. If it weren’t for this mother and daughter, it would be impossible for the third wife to have an accident, and their eldest wife and second wife would not be implicated.
“When a woman respects herself, others will respect her. It’s already inappropriate for a woman to cause trouble in the street, and it’s even more out of proportion to be aggressive in public.”
“I don’t agree with Mrs. Wang’s words. What is self-respect? Is it self-respect when you are bullied and don’t resist when you are persecuted? Don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to others. I think you will be punished by others in the future.” They will not resist when they are insulted and beaten in the street, and they will even show mercy to those who beat them, and send money and gifts afterwards to ask them if their hands hurt from the beating.”
I don’t know which lady laughed out loud, abrupt and piercing.
Mrs. Chang looked bewildered, and murmured to Mrs. Chang beside her, “As I get older, my hearing becomes more and more difficult. What did you say just now, why are you watching so much excitement?”
Mrs. Chang said in a low voice: “It’s all children’s scriptures, and mother can’t remember it after hearing too much. My daughter-in-law has to talk about them for a while. May I help you go back and rest?”
The old lady nodded and said yes.
When the host leaves midway, the guests have less scruples.
Liu stood up with a “huh” and glared at Ye Ping.
“As the princess of the county, do you just ignore the face of the prince of the county?”
This is to put a big hat on her.
Ye Ping’s eyebrows were even colder, “Your Majesty’s final judgment is on my character. Your Majesty praised me for being polite, sensitive and sensible. If Mrs. Wang disagrees or has any objections, why not ask Your Majesty in person. “
She was married by the emperor, and her character is proved by golden words.
Liu’s heart was horrified, and his aura suddenly dissipated.
“You all heard it just now. I didn’t deliberately find trouble, but the princess of the county first picked my reason. I said that there is nothing wrong with the concubine’s mistaken family. Which family here has no aunt and concubine? How many concubines are obedient? There are also a few concubines who are caring. The princess of the county is still too young, if the Japanese have experienced it for themselves, they must be able to understand the deep meaning of it.”
“Mrs. Wang’s words are wrong. The princess of the county is young, but what she said is extremely pertinent. The concubine is not inevitable, nor is it the real source of disaster. Mrs. Wang’s words are still biased.”
It was Mrs. Shen who said this.
Wen Ruqin’s eyes turned red when he heard that.
She was born as a concubine, and the second sister-in-law and mother-in-law were obviously doing it for her. She always knew how kind the second sister-in-law was to her, and she was surprised that her mother-in-law would protect her like this.
When Mrs. Shen made a sound, several people immediately echoed.
Mrs. Liu’s complexion has turned into a pig’s liver color, and her chest heaves violently. Sure enough, their Wang family had lost power, otherwise they would not have fallen to the point where no one could help them.
At this time Mrs. Chang came back, as if she didn’t notice the tense atmosphere. She smiled and apologized to everyone, and smoothed things over in a few words.
After a while, the banquet began. The guests took their seats one by one, and everyone was talking and laughing, as if the confrontation just now had never happened.
Wen Ruqin was next to Ye Ping, her eyes were red.
“Second sister-in-law.”
“It seems that your mother-in-law treats you well.”
Ye Ping teased her softly.
The heroine in the book is true, kind and beautiful. After going through twists and turns, she finally gets married with the heroine’s lover. However, Wen Ruyu, whom Madam Shen had always liked, looked down on the heroine’s status as a concubine. Although the heroine later moved Mrs. Shen with her kindness, there were too many unknown difficulties in it.
In this life, Mrs. Shen seems to have accepted her early on.
“My mother-in-law is very kind to me, and so is my son.” She looked shy.
“You are so nice, who wouldn’t like it.”
Ye Ping touched her face, she became more and more shy, but her eyes were full of gratitude.
All her good luck seems to have come from the friendship with the second sister-in-law. Before that, no one had ever liked her so much and thought of her everywhere.
Because of her second sister-in-law, she could talk to her second brother. It is also because of the second sister-in-law that the second brother worries about her marriage. Without the second sister-in-law, it is impossible for her to marry the eldest son. If there is no second sister-in-law, she will not be valued in the Xuanping Hou Mansion. The things sent by the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law’s protection of her are her greatest confidence in the Hou Mansion.
“Second sister-in-law, it’s good to have you.”
Ye Ping smiled without saying a word, and looked ahead.
Seeing this, the smile in his eyes faded.
Mrs. Wen is talking to Mrs. Ye.
“Fourth sister, are you still blaming us?”
Ye Shi couldn’t hear such soft words the most, it was the only warmth she had in the Wang family. She felt guilty, and soon remembered what her daughter said. “Mrs. Wen, I am no longer a daughter of the royal family. I dare not be the fourth sister of Mrs. Wen.”
“You still complain. If we knew that the third aunt is such a person, how could we just watch her do evil. I hate that she has harmed those people, and it has also made our Wang family unable to lift our heads. Pingniang is of the same heart as your mother and daughter, I am afraid I blame us even more. I am Wen’s daughter-in-law with her. Of course, I hope to have a good relationship with her. I don’t want her to be too estranged from me and treat me as a villain. I have hardships, and I can’t explain it. If it is possible, I would like to ask Fourth Younger Sister to explain a thing or two from it, even if she doesn’t get close to me, it’s fine, don’t treat me as an enemy anymore.”
It is difficult for Mrs. Ye to refuse such a request.
Then I wondered: “One size fits all, some things really have nothing to do with you. I will tell her, but whether she listens or not is entirely up to her.”
“Thank you fourth sister.”
Mrs. Wen’s face was slightly relaxed, and her eyes couldn’t hide her gratitude.
Ye Ping looked at her back and asked Wen Ruqin, “What do you think of Uncle Niang?”
Wen Ruqin hesitated, and said, “It looks good, but I don’t think it’s that good.”
Others said that the eldest aunt was not only talented and beautiful, but also kind and virtuous, and she thought so when she was a child. The eldest aunt is gentle and good-looking, and every word she speaks makes sense, and she likes it very much when she is young.
Later, she secretly overheard the elder sister speaking ill of her. Not only did the eldest aunt not reprimand the elder sister, but she also said that she was just a concubine, not worthy of the elder sister’s concern. From then on, she became suspicious of her eldest aunt, even if the other party was concerned or warm in front of her, she felt it was fake. She told no one about this, including her aunt. Because she was afraid that others would not believe her, and that her eldest aunt was such a person.
Ye Ping said: “Trust your feelings, our uncle may be the one who hides the deepest.”
She walked a few steps quickly, and soon came to Ship’s side.
“Why is uncle alone, where is the princess?”
When Mrs. Wen heard this, her face changed slightly.
