Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 235 Rules
Evil people must be punished by evil people, and character determines destiny. When Zhiruo heard the series of farce in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion in the past few days, these two sentences jumped into his mind.If she is not clear-headed or weak, no matter how high her status or dowry is, she will still be bullied to the point of being bullied, just like she was in her previous life.

On the other hand, Xu Yuanniang, who was born as a business girl, endured when she should, and refused to swallow her anger when she needed to. She was scheming and resourceful, but the domineering Ji mother and daughter who were preparing to frighten the bride were severely defeated.

"Xu Yuanniang's dowry seems to be much more than promised," Mo Wang said, "making Ji and Qiu Yanran even more jealous. Unfortunately, the Xu family is not easy to bully, and they are very concerned about various official rules and relevant laws. The Qiu family were more familiar with each other, and it was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort. On the day of the tea ceremony, Mrs. Ji almost choked and almost vomited blood, but she couldn't find any reason, so she could only make things difficult when setting the rules. However, Mrs. Xu He came prepared and was very tolerant, so that Mrs. Xu couldn't find a reason for the attack, but instead slapped herself several times for being picky about food."

"What's wrong with being picky about food?" Rudong was amused, "Thankfully she figured it out. The bride has just walked in. How can she blame the bride for any problems in the kitchen? Does she mean that she wants someone to spend money to improve the food?" Isn't it all there? Did the legendary poisonous balm case empty out the Qingyuan Hou Mansion?Before the big wedding, many slaves were sold.

Of course, Rudong just made a sneer casually and would not take it seriously. After all, no matter how greedy he is, for a person who was once a second-grade imperial concubine and has been the wife of the head of the house for decades, face and reputation are extremely important. As for using such despicable means to "want" it so obviously, aren't you afraid of losing your identity in the eyes of the bride and the servants?

Zhiruo sneered in her heart. Ji could really do such a thing. Not to mention that she had lost her title and reputation in this life, even in her previous life when her true identity was not revealed and she still maintained a good reputation. , and they often do this kind of thing.Not only her, but also Mrs. Qiuta, who died early in this life.Speaking of which, they really weren't very smart people, and the methods they used were simply not good enough in her eyes today.

In their eyes, the Marquis Mansion is their territory. They have to show false affection outside the house, but there is almost no need for people in the house and under their control, because filial piety is greater than heaven, and they are sure to defeat each other. She didn't dare to do anything, especially the naive and cowardly she was in her previous life.

Ruchun curled her lips and said: "They say that Mrs. Xu has been taking care of business since she was a child and is very shrewd. How can the eldest daughter of a merchant who grew up with such calculations be so easy to coax and scare?" Regardless of whether it is an official or a merchant, the eldest daughter The status of a girl is higher than that of other daughters. Unless she is too bad, she is usually trained intensively.

Mo Wang nodded in agreement and continued: "Isn't it? She actually said a lot of nice things. It was either the rules or her helplessness. She also suggested cleaning up the accounts of the house, increasing revenue and cutting expenditures, etc., but she didn't mention using her own money. She also used rules, reputation, and even the influence on Qiu Xiran and Qiu Yanran's marriage to block Ji's mouth. Ji was so angry that she found an excuse and kicked her out. The mother and daughter discussed How to deal with Mrs. Xu for a long time, and even scolded Qiu Yiran for favoring Mrs. Xu and forgetting her mother after marrying her daughter-in-law."

Zhiruo smiled approvingly and said: "Rules are dead, people are alive. Smart people make use of the rules, and fools are bound by them. This Xu family is really prepared, and I am afraid that he has already learned all the rules by heart. , waiting for the trick to take over the Qiu family." In her previous life, she had also been familiar with the female precepts, female analects, and various rules since she was a child. With the "careful persuasion" in her ears from Yan's mother, she completely became the Marquis of Qingyuan. The government imprisoned her, used her, and misappropriated all her property.

"Smart people make use of the rules, but fools are bound by them." Mo Wang couldn't help but repeat Zhiruo's words again, savoring them carefully.The more you taste it, the better it tastes. I secretly said that this principle applies not only to the rules in the backyard and fights between women, but also to men, and to all kinds of competitions in the world.

"My eldest sister is right, but isn't that the truth?" Mingze, who had just walked in, asked, "Didn't the Qiu family try to use the so-called rules to restrain my sister's hands and feet from the beginning, forcing her to accept changing her wife into a concubine? And Jing Who among the second and third bedrooms, and the Yin family in Ningzhou, is not plotting to use these and other rules to calculate my sister’s dowry and how many of our siblings are there? It’s a pity, haha, my sister doesn’t follow their ways, and in turn takes advantage of Helihe. The relevant rules of the female household deal with them. Therefore, the rules are dead. Whether you like it or not, they are set. If you clarify the rules and make good use of them, they will become a tool for self-protection and even attack the enemy. On the contrary, it will He was bound by the rules of the other party. Sister, is this my analysis correct?"

"Yes! You understand very well!" Zhiruo's eyes were full of joy and... pride. Her brother was only 14 years old. In modern times, many children of this age are still ignorant, or they act cool and rebellious. And her Mingze can already think strategically.There are factors of talent, Su Kang's teachings, and the influence of his father, but it is also indispensable for the motivation transformed from the pressure on his shoulders as the eldest son.

Minghui and Yourong said happily: "Sister, you all exaggerated that I have learned a lot, and my progress has been very fast recently. I can understand the strategy that the gentleman mentioned after listening to it once, and I can also draw inferences. Sister, I have also remembered it. We need to make good use of the rules, rather than letting them restrict us from using them.”

"Well," Zhiruo smiled and patted his arm, "Eldest sister knows that my two younger brothers are the best. Mr. Su hasn't praised you recently?" It was obvious that he used to be very nervous and unreasonable. Minghui, who was patiently chewing words, has also digested the meaning of that rule. This young man has now learned to use reason to overcome impulse, and learned to take three deep breaths before taking action.

Minghui's eyes were shining with pride, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Yes, hehe, sir, he said that I have become much more stable after returning from my study tour." Qiu Ling and Yue Ji's eldest brother noticed the abnormality, but he didn't notice it along the way. One problem, which made him quite frustrated. If his eldest brother didn't go with him, and if Na Yueji really had any malicious intentions towards Meizhuang, wouldn't he regret it only when a disaster befell their brothers and sisters?
"By the way, eldest sister," the shy Minghui quickly changed the subject after announcing the good news to her eldest sister, "When we came back, we happened to meet people from Qingyuan Houfu who came to send greeting cards, and people from the two houses in Beijing sent people to send them. A car gift."
