Chapter 63 A Family Should Be Together
Mu Ziqian fell silent instantly, because he knew that Shen Qing could do something that this kind of person couldn't do!
Lin Xuefu sat in the corner, her eyes showing fatigue. Since she had a miscarriage a few days ago, she had nightmares almost every night.
The wife of Yanglinghou swept her eyes over the red wedding characters in the room, and finally fell on Shen Qing, with annoyance in her eyes, "Shen Qing, what do you want to do now?"
Shen Qing looked up at her eyes, his face gentle, "Isn't mother seeing clearly enough? Of course, it's to help father take a concubine."
The wife of Yanglinghou had anger in her eyes, "Take a concubine? You brought Chen Wan back from Jingxin Temple all the way, and you tell me this is called taking a concubine?"
Shen Qing was clearly trying to make things difficult for her!
Shen Qing shook her head, "I'm afraid mother doesn't know yet? Aunt Chen was taken out of Jingxin Temple by father five years ago and raised in Jiaohua Lane in the south of the city.
As for Aunt Qiao, she is my father's concubine who has been raised outside Shengjing City for three years.
My daughter-in-law thinks that after all, she is my father's concubine, and it is not good to live outside all the time. It is better to bring her into the mansion openly, which can also show my mother's tolerance and generosity. What's more, a family should be neat and tidy."
After hearing this, the expression on the face of the wife of Yangling Marquis was instantly frozen. She never thought that Yangling Marquis would have so many romantic histories. One Aunt Xu was not enough, and now there are Aunt Chen and Aunt Qiao.
A dizziness came over the wife of Yangling Marquis. She couldn't bear it for a while and fell backwards unsteadily. Fortunately, Mother Zhang helped her in time to prevent the last accident from happening again.
Mu Ziqian was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his father could be more philandering than he was. No wonder he hadn't brought anyone into the mansion in the past few years. It turned out that he had kept them all outside.
Although Lin Xuefu was a little surprised by this result, she was not unacceptable. The next moment, her eyes quietly shifted towards Mu Ziqian, but they were retracted after just a moment.
She always knew how Mu Ziqian treated her.
Seeing that the face of the wife of Yangling Marquis gradually eased, Shen Qing said the second heavy news, "Don't worry, mother, I remember all the rules of our Yangling Marquis Mansion. Aunt Chen and Aunt Qiao have been away for many years and have suffered a lot of grievances, so I didn't miss any of the ceremonies that the wife should have. The bridal sedan, wedding dress, veil and wedding money, everything is available."
The face of the wife of Yangling Marquis sank instantly. How could she not hear that Shen Qing was clearly playing tricks on her when she welcomed Lin Xuefu into the mansion with the rites of the wife, and now he repeated the events of that day for her again and again.
She did it once, but Shen Qing did it to her three times.
Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu also heard it, and their expressions were also complicated.
Shen Qing didn't care about the expressions of the others, and continued to speak to herself, "Mother, Aunt Chen and Aunt Qiao are not easy. They are obviously father's concubines, but they are willing to live outside the mansion for the sake of the harmonious relationship between mother and father. So after they enter the house, mother must treat them well."
Shen Qing returned the same words to the wife of Yangling Marquis intact.
Madam Yangling clenched her teeth, but could not refute, and could only say coldly, "How I do things, you don't need to worry about it!"
Shen Qing raised a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Mother is wrong, mother is my mother-in-law, and she was the former mistress of Yangling Marquis's mansion. Naturally, I have to follow her style of behavior. So how mother treats my father's concubines, I will treat Aunt Lin the same way. This should be right, right?"
Hearing this, Madam Yangling's expression immediately condensed, and she looked at Shen Qing's eyes with burning eyes, trying to see a trace of timidity in them, but the latter was always smiling and unmoved.
Seeing that the wife of Yangling Marquis was at a disadvantage, Mu Ziqian, who was lying on the sedan chair, could not bear it any longer and questioned, "Shen Qing, your mother has just recovered from a serious illness, and you are so aggressive. As a daughter-in-law, do you respect your mother so much!"
Shen Qing glanced at him, "I advise you to shut up."
After saying that, her eyes glanced at his legs imperceptibly.
Mu Ziqian's heart tightened immediately, but the picture that flashed through his mind suddenly gave him courage again.
"Shen Qing, I ask you, why do you deduct Fu'er's monthly allowance?"
In the more than one month that Shen Qing cut off Mu Ziqian's food, clothing and daily expenses, Lin Xuefu had been using her own money to supplement him, and even in order to speed up the healing of his leg injury, she sent him various precious tonic soups in various ways.
Those tonic soups are expensive, and Lin Xuefu's monthly salary is naturally not enough, so Mu Ziqian has always thought that Shen Qing sent his monthly salary to Lin Xuefu. The reason why he didn't let him know was because he couldn't let go of his face. Mu Ziqian also thought that if Shen Qing could sincerely apologize to him and Lin Xuefu and behave himself in the future, he could temporarily let bygones be bygones. After all, Lin Xuefu's child will never come back, and his and Lin Xuefu's future is more important.
However, this does not mean that the matter ends here. If there is a chance in the future, he will naturally get it back from Shen Qing.
However, it was not until this morning that Mu Ziqian accidentally heard the conversation between Lin Xuefu and Qiu Rui that he knew that Shen Qing did not send any money at all. Not only that, even Lin Xuefu's monthly salary for this month was not distributed. Those tonic soups were all the money that Lin Xuefu secretly sold a lot of her jewelry to get.
Mu Ziqian was deeply moved and also very angry about Shen Qing's behavior. So, he was determined to get justice for Lin Xuefu today!
Thinking of this, Mu Ziqian roared again, "Shen Qing, Fu'er has been tolerant enough to you, why do you still target her like this?"
Mu Ziqian couldn't understand why Shen Qing couldn't tolerate Lin Xuefu's pure and kind temperament?
Hearing this, Mrs. Yanglinghou immediately turned cold and looked at Lin Xuefu, "Xuefu, is everything Qian'er said true?"
Lin Xuefu frowned slightly, as if she was struggling with how to speak. After a while, she explained for Shen Qing, "Aunt, cousin, the young lady probably just forgot, and you can just make it up later, there is no need to be like this... …”
Before Lin Xuefu could finish her words, Shen Qing interrupted her directly, "Aunt Lin is worrying too much. I haven't forgotten it. As for why she didn't send it... it's naturally because Aunt Lin has an unfair name and is not qualified to get it. My aunt’s monthly money.”
Hearing this, Lin Xuefu immediately turned pale, and heard Shen Qing continue to speak: "According to the laws of our court, there are two points in the process of entering a concubine's room: First, before entering a concubine's room, you must obtain the permission of the mistress. Preparing for follow-up etiquette. Before Auntie Lin entered the house, no one even informed me of the announcement, let alone the consent. Therefore, I naturally did not recognize the identity of Aunt Lin as the concubine. Secondly, the official entry of the concubine must be given to the master. The gift of tea from my mother is considered a ceremony. On the day when Aunt Lin entered the house, she was either busy bringing pear blossoms to the rain or fainting to escape her crimes. I didn't drink the tea, so in my case, Aunt Lin is still from the Yangling Marquis Mansion. Miss cousin, of course, Miss Cousin has no monthly money to speak of."
What Shen Qing said was reasonable, but Madam Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian frowned upon hearing this.
Lin Xuefu's eyes were red, and she said softly, "Young Madam is right, everything is Xuefu's fault, please forgive me, Young Madam."
Listening to the faint cry in Lin Xuefu's voice, Mu Ziqian couldn't help it immediately, "Shen Qing, what are you crazy about? Fu'er has been here for more than a month and is pregnant with my child. How can it be that she is just in the house? Miss Cousin, I order you to apologize to her and give her all the monthly money she deserves!"
