Chapter 1,178: Couples Who Share the Same Bed but Have Different Dreams

Zhao Xiran acted quickly, took the post, and went to Shao Huaan's study.

The boy at the door of the study saw her coming and rushed in to report. When she came, he was already waiting outside. He stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I've seen grandma!"

"What is the eldest son doing inside?" Zhao Xiran asked.

"The eldest son has been reading for a while and is now tired. He is taking a rest!" The boy smiled and pushed open the study door.

Zhao Xiran nodded and entered the study, where Shao Huaan was leaning there. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and waved to her.

Zhao Xiran walked over and sat down beside the couch.

Shao Huaan reached out and took her hand, asking softly: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Princess Chen asked me to come to the palace once." Zhao Xiran said, "She also specially gave me a note saying it was for flower viewing."

Since I have given you a note, it is much more serious than just coming over and summoning me casually, and it is also inconvenient to refuse.

Does this represent the tyrannical attitude of the Chen Palace? Shao Huaan's face darkened, "Fifth sister is really... I have wronged you!"

This is an attitude of having to go even if you don’t want to go, which is so forceful that it makes people sick.

"As long as my husband is here, I will not feel wronged." Zhao Xiran sighed, and his eyes fell softly on Shao Huaan. She did have another purpose in marrying into the house, and it is the same now, but this does not prevent her from becoming more and more beautiful. She had Shao Hua'an in mind, and seeing him like this, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged all the time." Shao Hua'an said seriously, with a coldness in his eyes that she couldn't understand. Zhao Xiran was inexplicably panicked. He reached out and took Shao Hua'an's hand and comforted him: "It's okay. Just study hard. I will take care of the affairs in the house..."

She paused after saying this, with a bitter look on her face. She could take care of other things, but she really couldn't take care of Shao Jing's matter. Originally, she thought that Mrs. Tai's return home could stop Shao Jing's crazy idea. It's crazy to bring a foreign wife home, and also want to be an equal wife.

This will prevent them from meeting people in the future.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tai agreed and even called her over to give her a lecture. Every time she thought of this, Zhao Xiran felt depressed. She even felt that Shao Huaan and Mrs. Tai were hiding something from her.

It seemed that they all thought it was okay to hide it from her, but she was the only one who thought it was inappropriate.

She complained to Shao Hua'an privately, but Shao Hua'an said that she was too small-minded. Now that she has a sister, she can't let that woman be a concubine all the time. It's normal to give her a title, and she's not an heir, so it doesn't count. What.

Even though she said that, it was too much for this foreign wife to want to enter the house and become a common wife.

Although the decline of the Xingguo Hou Mansion is obvious, at least it is still a Yungui family, and at least it still needs face.

Although raising a concubine is considered a scandal, it is not without its consequences. At most, if she is found out, she can become a concubine and become a concubine from then on.

There is no intention of marrying a famous matchmaker.

"Okay, let's forget it. We, as children, have to listen to our father's wishes!" As soon as Shao Huaan saw her look, he knew that this was happening again, and felt a little unhappy for no reason. When he got down, Zhao Xiran would tell him about it, and he would be annoyed.

E Niang's matter was just a transition, not a big deal.

The key point is the illegitimate daughter. Only if the illegitimate daughter can legitimately become the legitimate daughter can the value be raised. A small concubine and a concubine cannot support the future.

power position.

"Hua An, this matter..." Zhao Xiran still wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Shao Hua'an's face darkened, he could only give up and stood up and said, "I will go to Prince Chen's Mansion in a moment."

Seeing that she stopped talking about this matter, Shao Huaan's attitude calmed down and his face became gentle again: "Be careful. If you say you don't like it, don't worry about it. I'm here to accompany you for the fifth sister. I'll tell you later." Fifth sister, ask about your sister."

This was to make sure that Shao Wanru would not say anything nice, and the focus was still on Shao Yanru, so today I went to suffer the injustice and find out the news.

Zhao Xiran was very disappointed. He lowered his head and nodded, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.

She was really disappointed. She came out of the study and stood outside the study. She looked back behind her, with inexplicable bitterness in her eyes.

She had ulterior motives, and she did want to do something, but it was for Shao Jing, not Shao Hua'an. For Shao Hua'an, she thought she had done the right thing, and she cared more and more about Shao Hua'an.

But Shao Huaan didn't seem to take himself as seriously as he said before.

Thinking back to the beginning, it was Shao Huaan who repeatedly expressed his love for him that led him to marry into the Xingguo Hou Mansion.

Maybe, I was really wrong!

After pinching the handkerchief hard to cover up all the melancholy in his eyes, Zhao Xiran sighed and went out with the maid!

When Zhao Xiran arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, Shao Wanru was admiring flowers in the garden. He was on top of a pavilion. Looking out from the second floor, the lake reflected the red flowers, and there were rows of bamboos and curved waterside pavilions. It gave him a refreshing feeling.

The little lotuses on the lake are just showing their sharp corners, and the scenery of the lake is more and more beautiful.

Seeing Zhao Xiran coming over, Shao Wanru waved to her with the fan in his hand and asked her to sit down at the fence together.

The fence is very wide, and there are fruits and snacks on the table. The tea that was just poured has a refreshing fragrance and a tea flavor, which is very pleasant.

Zhao Xiran sat opposite Shao Wanru as he was told, and when he looked out the window, the depression in his heart seemed to be somewhat relieved by the color of the lake. This was indeed a good place to enjoy flowers.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xiran looked at Shao Wanru with a smile: "Is the princess okay?"

This question was asked in a confused manner, but the meaning was very clear. The incident in the Princess Mansion had also spread to the Xingguo Hou Mansion.

"I'm fine!" Shao Wanru glanced at Zhao Xiran with a smile on his face.

"That's good." Zhao Xiran breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, everything is fine. The princess should be more careful when traveling in the future..."

Having said this, Shao Wanru looked a little embarrassed. The last time he went to the Xingguo Hou Mansion, something happened. Although it was said that the matter had something to do with the Tai Fu, she must be the eldest grandmother of the Xingguo Hou Mansion.

Fortunately, Shao Wanru didn't mention this, and skipped the topic with a smile: "Has the second uncle's matter been resolved after Madam Tai came back?"

"Father..." Zhao Xiran lowered her head and sighed. This matter is now on her mind, and she has been uneasy for a long time. Zhao Xiran can't get over the thought of calling a lowly woman from outside her mother-in-law. Hom.

A woman like her is originally arrogant, so how could she fall in love with a foreigner?

"The Madam agreed to this, saying that the woman... is also from a good family, and her identity seems to be a young lady from a noble family!" Zhao Xiran's chest felt tight.

She didn't believe this anyway. If he was really a good person, why did he follow his father-in-law for so many years and become an outside wife?

If she really is a daughter of some aristocratic family, whoever has such a daughter should be angry to death, or deal with her early, so as not to bring down other girls in the family who have not left the court.

When the woman came into the house, she took a look at it from a distance. She didn't look like a woman from a good family at first glance. Although she didn't say Yan Wang was charming, the situation when she got along with her father-in-law was really unsightly. .

If she becomes the equal wife of her father-in-law, she will definitely be included in social events in the future. Jiang is currently locked up and cannot socialize at all. Thinking that he will socialize with such a woman in the future and even call her mother, Zhao Xiran feels like swallowing in his heart. I felt as if I was crawling with a fly, and just wanted to vomit.

Even though she repeatedly gave herself hints that this woman was nothing and was not her serious mother-in-law, so she didn't need to take her seriously, but she just couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

"Which aristocratic lady?" Shao Wanru's black and white eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"I heard that it happened more than ten years ago. It was said that a censor at the time was demoted because he offended the late emperor. This woman was the young lady of her family. She and her father-in-law met when they left the capital. , the woman was going out of the capital with her, but unexpectedly she met a bad guy, who broke up the carriage, and then met her father. "

Zhao Xiran said that she really didn't believe this in her heart, and asked her father Zhao Shangshu to inquire about it afterwards. The result of the inquiry was that there was such a thing, saying that the censor had a daughter who was lost in the chaos. , I didn’t expect it to fall into Shao Jing’s hands. These words seemed to be perfect.

As for the censor, he has not returned to the capital for so many years. He has been working as a minor official outside and has not returned to the capital for more than ten years. Even if he wants to confirm it, he can't find anyone.

In other words, you can’t find out even if you want to. Even if people say this, you have to believe it.

"Someone has to investigate this matter. Who knows if he is a liar!" Shao Wanru reminded her nonchalantly.

"I went to check, but couldn't find anything. I also took out a jade pendant. People who have seen it said it was indeed the jade pendant that the censor's wife was wearing." Zhao Xiran said helplessly.

She didn't believe it with all her heart.

If it is true, if this young lady is really a young lady from the imperial censor's house, she must be sensible. How could she get involved with her father-in-law? She has been with him for so many years and has given birth to a daughter. Isn't she? Do you know the shame of an outsider?

Judging from her behavior, she doesn't even look like the daughter of a wealthy family.

Zhao Xiran would never believe this anyway!

"The jade pendant belongs to the Censor's wife. It doesn't mean that she is the Censor's daughter. Hasn't anyone else seen her?" Shao Wanru asked in confusion.

"It's been so many years. Even if I have seen him, I've probably forgotten about it." Zhao Xiran became more and more upset and replied with a wry smile. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

"If you don't know what happened many years ago, you won't know that others will know... Didn't the second uncle show any signs of movement when he was in the house in the past?" Shao Wanru said casually, shaking the fan slightly in his hand, Turning his eyes to the scenery outside the fence, it was obvious that he just said it casually and didn't mean much, "I have raised the outer room for so many years. Even if others don't know it, the shrewd wife should know it!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words.

If it were someone else's grandmother, Zhao Xiran would definitely feel that she was wrong. But now that Shao Wanru said these words, Zhao Xiran actually felt that what she said was reasonable. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind...
