Chapter 87 Fake News

Hearing this, Erlang's wife's face suddenly darkened.

When Du Jingyi had someone spread the news, he deliberately made it seven parts true and three parts false.

It is easy to make people think too much if it is true and false.

Otherwise, if it is too sure, it will be like a mother-in-law who is personally present, revealing false intentions.

Wouldn't it be easy to be exposed if you think about it for a while?

Therefore, it is still this uncertain tone that can make Erlang's wife imagine more.

Madam Wei, her family is the powerful Taiwei Mansion.

Although she is just a concubine, sending her to the Duke's Mansion to be a concubine to Shang Yukuan was just a chess piece in the overall planning.

Who knew that she would change her fate against the will of heaven.

First, she won over Shang Yukuan's heart, and then hid in the backyard for many years.

When Shang Dalang and Madam Gu were gone, she emerged.

Now her daughter is the Princess of Fu, her youngest son has a promising future, and her family has also climbed from ordinary officials to the position of Taiwei.

It really is a matter of decades.

Later, in order to make her reputation better, she was promoted from a concubine to a daughter under the name of her mother.

So, when it comes to the girls who got married in the Taiwei Mansion, she, the second wife of the Duke's Mansion and the mother of the Princess of Fu, has a good reputation.

Therefore, Erlang's wife has no doubt that she can know the affairs of the Min Palace.

The more she thinks about it, the more difficult it becomes. If Madam Wei and Dongyuan are partial to the Seventh Lady of the Fifth Room, then wouldn't the Fourth Lady fall into her hands?

With her conditions and abilities, if she delays any further, she will just marry an elderly widower and get things done in a hurry.

How can she compare to the concubines in the Min Palace who can help the family!

Therefore, regardless of whether she was willing or not, or whether she had the ability or not, she would be grateful even if she was sent to be an ordinary concubine.

Thinking of this, she said to Mother Qin.

"Go to Jia's house quickly and ask Liu Niang to come back. She said there is something important to discuss."

"Yes."

After Mother Qin left, Erlang's wife wanted to calm down, but the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Finally, she simply got up and went to the room of the Third Old Master and the Third Old Lady.

Compared with her own in-laws who didn't make the decision, it was more reliable to find grandparents.

When she came, the two had just finished lunch.

When people get old, they may not be able to eat much, so there is not much food.

Seeing Erlang's wife, who they usually rely on, come in, the Third Old Lady said with a smile.

"You didn't come a quarter of an hour earlier. You came after we finished eating. Can you ask them to make a few more dishes?"

The third and fifth rooms don't have separate small kitchens. They have always been sent by the big kitchen in the Duke's Mansion.

They have always followed the rules, but if they use some money separately, they can naturally use more.

At this time, Erlang's wife had no intention of eating, and said to the third old lady in a serious tone.

"Grandfather and grandmother, the news has also been known to the fifth room."

At first, the two of them didn't react. What news? What if the fifth room knows it?

But soon they understood, and the third old lady was the first to get angry.

"What a joke, could it be that the fifth family is still thinking about marrying up?"

In her eyes, the third room is much better than the fifth room.

No matter what, there are already four great-grandchildren, while the fifth room is still living with Shang Wulang, the only child.

So this is why Mrs. Ni attaches so much importance to the child in Wulang's wife's belly.

When she spoke, the third old master was not happy either.

It was as if the position of concubine was something they could easily get, and now the fifth room was a jackal coming to snatch it away, and they were very protective of their food.

So she said angrily.

"The fifth room has been a bully since he was a child. It's fine if he does it to the eldest brother, but now he wants to do it to me. He's dreaming. He really thinks he is a powerful person if he gives him three points of face. Wait for me to go over and teach him a lesson."

The third old man pretended to stand up, but was stopped by Erlang's wife.

"Grandfather, don't go. If there is a quarrel, it is not certain that the fifth uncle will let go. Such a good thing, we want it, they naturally want it too. Now the most urgent task is to think of a way to send the fourth daughter to the Min Palace first without anyone knowing."

After she reminded them, the two also reacted.

But there is not much difference between the third room and the fifth room. Even if there is a third brother who is more capable, it is not enough to climb the high branch of the Min Palace.

So they are also in a state of complete darkness.

"Don't panic, I have asked someone to invite the sixth sister back. I will discuss with her at that time to see if we can get through the Jia family's doorway."

"Yes."

The waiting time was particularly long, and several people were looking forward to it.

However, Shang Liuniang from the Jia family couldn't help but raise her mouth after hearing the news.

She knew that forcing was useless, and she must learn to use some wisdom.

Look, regardless of whether Si Niang is willing or not, this matter has been set in stone.

Not only can she help her family solve a problem, but she can also gain face in front of her husband's family. It is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

The more she thought about it, the smarter she felt.

So she asked the maid Ruyan to take out the silver note of three thousand taels and put it in her pocket.

Then she ordered.

"We will act according to the situation later. If this matter can be settled, you will definitely benefit from it."

"Yes, I know."

This money was taken out by her father-in-law Jia Laoye from the account office last time. It has not been used. She has been waiting for this time.

It was something that could be done with three thousand taels, so the remaining seven thousand taels would naturally go into her pocket.

After all, running back and forth also took some effort, and Shang Qi Niang was more calculating than anyone else.

Then she got on the carriage back to her mother's house and swayed towards the Duke's Mansion.

When Shang Liu Niang arrived, several people seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and they didn't care about the rules. They pulled her in and started talking.

Shang Liu Niang pretended to be confused and asked a question.

"What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? You called me back so anxiously, but something happened at home?"

"The people in the fifth room also knew the news about the Minwang Mansion. What should I do? The fourth and seventh mothers are not comparable."

Erlang's wife was anxious, and the third old master and the third old lady were also anxious.

But Shang Liu Niang was not anxious. It was obviously her who set the trap, and she was the most innocent at this moment.

She spread her hands and said.

"There's nothing I can do about this. It was just a piece of news I heard. Now many people know about it and many are eager to get their daughters back. Fourth sister... why don't we just forget it and let me show her other options?"

Her retreat made the people in the third room anxious.

Especially the third old lady slapped her thigh and said.

"How can that be possible? If the duck in the mouth can fly away, won't the fifth room next door laugh out loud?"
