Chapter 552 The Kind-Hearted and Generous Shao Yanru
Shao Wanru didn't stay at Mrs. Tai's place for long before she left. Mrs. Tai had no intention of keeping her. She continued talking to Shao Yanru and ignored Shao Wanru, as if she didn't hear what she said.
Shao Wanru's face was calm, as if he didn't know that Mrs. Tai was treating her slowly. He bowed to Mrs. Tai politely and then left with others.
Halfway through the walk, I met Mrs. Xingguo. She still gave way politely and bowed politely to say goodbye. With such thorough etiquette, the sullen Mrs. Xingguo couldn't find anything wrong and said half-heartedly. After a few words, after watching Shao Wanru leave, Duke Xingguo went to Mrs. Tai's Spring Hall Courtyard.
After explaining the cause and effect of what had just happened, the lady lying on the bed was trembling with anger. She picked up a book with Zhenmai in her hand and threw it at Duke Xingguo's body, saying angrily: "You're a bastard!" It’s useless, you actually let Piaoyun Courtyard be taken away by the fifth girl, that’s a place for An’er.”
The book hit Mrs. Xingguo's body but it didn't hurt. Mrs. Xingguo knelt down with a "plop" and called out to Madam. She felt sad for a moment, "Madam, my wife can't do anything... Let's talk about this over there." I still want you to decide, and I also said that the Queen Mother will not let this matter go, and she will definitely find out about it."
Mrs. Xingguo wiped away her tears and started crying.
Madam Tai's heart palpitated, and she became more and more sad and angry. If she had known that Xiushui from Baiyun Temple was a demon who disguised herself as a woman, she would not have invited him. Now, not only did she not succeed in getting things done, but also because of this demon Ruian dragged himself into it. Ruian was using his own affairs to blackmail his wife.
Thinking of the injustice suffered by her daughter-in-law, the wife couldn't help but feel sad. She took Mrs. Xingguo's hand and patted her hard, comforting her and said: "Okay, don't cry. Just give this yard to her, can you?" It's up to her whether she can live in it. If she asks to change the garden in the future, no matter how strong the eldest princess is, she can't do anything to us!"
She was already thinking about how to prevent Shao Wanru from living in Piaoyun Courtyard.
Shao Yanru was also shocked. She didn't expect that the eldest princess's palace would react so quickly and take advantage of the situation. If it hadn't been for this incident and her grandmother had stopped her from agreeing, there would have been nothing the eldest princess could have done. But now, how can I judge this matter? , Shao Wanru could not be suppressed forcefully at this time, but had to make good friends, and people could not think that this matter was done by Duke Xingguo's government. This gave the eldest princess an opportunity to take advantage of.
It's really abominable.
He rolled his eyes and immediately had a new idea. He took two steps forward, smiled and said to the angry dowager with a livid face: "Grandma, don't be angry. Since the fifth sister likes it, I like it. It's okay if the eldest brother doesn't live here." Yes, isn’t there an empty courtyard over there?”
"Where can there be such a nice yard?" The Madam asked helplessly. Her eldest grandson, whom she felt most distressed about, was so promising and so obedient. Now he even had his wedding room robbed. He had previously discussed the marriage. When I was married, I even had people come to look at the yard, implying that this would be the one I would live in in the future, and that I was very satisfied with that house.
Now, the marriage has not yet taken place, but the yard is gone. How can I explain this to others?
"Grandma forgot, isn't my uncle's yard more suitable for my eldest brother to live in?" Shao Yanru reminded with a smile.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xingguo's breathing quickened involuntarily, her hand holding the handkerchief became harder and harder, and her eyes looked at the Mrs. Longingly. She had been thinking about that courtyard for a long time, but she didn't dare to say it openly. , and now my daughter mentioned it with words that happened to be thought of but she didn't know the details, which was much smarter than herself.
Living in it represents the identity of the Crown Prince, and it will be easier for the emperor to approve the invitation to the Crown Prince.
"That yard is not available for the time being!" Although the madam wanted to compensate her eldest grandson for the yard immediately, she must not have lost her mind.
"There are Princess Qinghua's things there, so the eldest princess of Ruian will definitely get involved. Besides, the courtyard in that area also belongs to the eldest house. Hao'er is still here, so this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"
She had thought about it before, thinking about dealing with the matter on the shadow wall where her son was writing. Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Hao'er, and then she brought it to the attention of the eldest princess. The arrogant eldest princess even used this matter The matter came to the attention of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Not only did the Queen Mother beat her, but the Queen Mother also said that she could not favor the second room, which was originally the eldest room.
The general living area of the three bedrooms of Duke Xingguo's Mansion is separate. Those in the middle live in the big bedroom, and the wife also lives in that area. There are two bedrooms on one side and three bedrooms on the other side.
But later, because Shao Yuanhao was the only one in charge of the first house, and Mrs. Xingguo was in charge, some boundaries between the first house and the second house were blurred. Since the first house was the first house to inherit the title, the original courtyard was built differently from the other ones. , more atmospheric, good environment, the few yards that Mrs. Xingguo Gong liked are all in the big house.
If the truth comes down to it, with Shao Yuanhao here, it is indeed impossible to move!
"But my An'er, he... what should he do? I took people to see him before... this... what should I say?" Mrs. Xingguo wiped away her tears again.
"Did mother bring someone to look at the yard and the furniture before?" Shao Yanru asked in surprise.
"I have seen it, and I thought it was good at the time. Your father and I like this marriage, and your elder brother is also very happy with it. But if it is ruined because of this matter, what should we do? This is what your father and I can do The best marriage I have ever chosen!”
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Industry and Industry, she has an outstanding appearance and an excellent reputation, and is loved by everyone in the family.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a person with real power. Although he is not as powerful as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he is also a rare marriage partner. In some aspects, he may even be more effective than the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The eldest daughter of an aristocratic family was carefully cultivated, and when she became the daughter-in-law of the Xingguo Palace, she was able to handle affairs with ease. No matter from any aspect, this was a good thing.
The Ministry of Industry Minister's Mansion also expressed satisfaction with Shao Huaan, but said that it would take a few days to think about it. For fear of something unexpected, Mrs. I walked with them around, specially went to the front of the yard, and took them in to see it.
The conversation also showed that this was prepared for her son. She remembered that the wife of the Minister of Industry and Commerce nodded repeatedly in praise, but now she had to give up the yard, how willing she was.
"Mother, can you go into the palace and tell the Queen Mother about this? This...I am willing to use the other two courtyards to compensate the fifth girl." Madam Xingguo grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and begged.
The madam shook her head: "I can't enter the palace at this time."
Shao Wanru's matter was not settled yet, so she took advantage of illness to leave because her health was really bad, but she was not pretending. If she went to the Queen Mother at this time, she would not gain anything.
"Grandma, my mother organized the yard and furniture, and some of it was my mother's dowry. Can I really not get the yard back?" Shao Yanru also said with a sad look on her face.
"This... it really can't be done for the time being. Let's keep it in her name first. When she comes back, there will always be a way to get her to give up the yard!" The madam gritted her teeth bitterly, feeling more and more that Shao Wan was so embarrassed at that time. Recognizing one's ancestors and returning to the clan is a wrong thing. Why didn't we strongly oppose it at that time?
Mrs. Xingguo was so distressed that she burst into tears. There was not much difference between what Mrs. Tai said and whether she didn't. Even if Shao Wanru was really forced to let him out, others would only think that she didn't want to live there anymore, so they gave the yard to her. Her son is a married man, and he sounds like a rag-picker. How can this not be difficult for her to accept?
I couldn't help but resent the Mrs. Tai's uselessness. She couldn't even save a yard for her son. In vain, she kept saying that from now on, the entire mansion belongs to her son. Her yard, her furniture, all belong to her. Yes, she is really unwilling!
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered Shao Yanru's words just now, and immediately raised his head and said: "Mom, forget about the yard, according to mother's wishes, but not the furniture. Those are all prepared by me for An'er, I can't take advantage of others!"
Everything there is actually ready. When Shao Huaan gets married, he can move in. This is why Mrs. Xingguo and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry walked in before.
"Do you want to move the furniture inside?" The wife frowned, feeling that this idea was not good for some reason.
"Yes, the furniture inside all belongs to An'er. Since the people in the Princess's mansion will make a set according to the size of the room, this set originally belonged to our house and should be moved back!"
Mrs. Xingguo said confidently.
The madam was silent for a moment. She had no objection this time. This actually made sense. Since the eldest princess Ruian had intervened, if she wanted to send furniture, just give it to her!
But in fact, to decorate the house, in addition to some hard furniture, there are also other things to buy. The madam selectively forgot that the house also needed to buy some household items in Piaoyun Courtyard.
"Grandma, I should go up the mountain to accompany my fifth sister." Since this matter has been discussed, Shao Yanru stepped forward and said, the wife's illness is not as serious as imagined, and if she takes good care of herself, there should be no serious problem. This is half true. It's just a fake illness.
"You still want to go, what are you going to do? Just let her guard it by herself. Do you think we have to endure the hardships in the mountains with her?" Madam Tai said displeased.
"Grandma, the people from the Ministry of Justice are still on the mountain, and many things are still being dealt with. If I leave at this time and leave my fifth sister alone, how will people view our house? I'd better stay with her for a while. I can't Let people criticize our house." Shao Yanru said softly.
Of course, the meaning of these words was to protect the reputation of Duke Xingguo. Hearing the Queen Mother hold her hand, she felt more and more distressed: "You child, you are still so kind! Always consider others, is that right?" Grandma is useless! Since you think so, grandma won’t stop you. Ask your mother to prepare a few more things for food and daily necessities, so that you don’t have to live a miserable life. "
The madam warned.
"Thank you, grandma. Then please ask mother to prepare two copies for me, and one for the fifth sister!" Shao Yanru said, looking like she was thinking about Shao Wanru very much.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tai was angry and distressed. The granddaughter she taught is indeed a good person, kind-hearted and generous!
