Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 259: Calculation (two updates in one)

With such a loving aunt who is always thinking about scheming or cheating on her nephew, haha, no wonder Pan Jiaming became the number one dude in the capital. It is better than becoming a sick coward, a fool, a disability, or even a cold corpse, right?

Seeing that Zhiruo didn't seem to understand the deeper meaning of her words, Mrs. Song couldn't help but get annoyed again. Is this person stupid or smart?Just give me some reaction!Didn't you react very quickly just now?

Although Min'er's first encounter with the Yin sisters was unpleasant, as long as the situation that day was not arranged by Pan Jiaming and everything was just a coincidence, she could still win over Yin Zhiruo according to the original plan. If they didn't fight, they wouldn't know each other, let alone just a little girl. It's just a small dispute between them, and it doesn't really matter.

Therefore, the first thing she had to do was to expose Pan Jiaming's true identity and let Yin Zhiruo know that he was an arbitrary and unreliable person, so as to prevent the little girl from being confused by his identity and appearance and wanting to take refuge in him.Although with Yin Zhiruo's current status, even if she could enter the British Duke's palace, she could only be a concubine, but the concubine of the prince of the British Duke's family was naturally comparable to that of the aunt of the Qingyuan Houfu, right?

However, for their eldest family, it would not be a good thing if Pan Jiaming had a concubine with such a rich dowry and some military influence. That would be a big help from Pan Jiaming, which would be extremely detrimental to the eldest family.

Suddenly, Mrs. Song's eyes lit up. If Yin Zhiruo also entered the Pan family as a concubine, but it was Pan Jiajin who took her in instead of Pan Jiaming, wouldn't it be Pan Jiajin and their eldest family who helped her?
The Song family became more and more excited as she thought about it. According to what her master said, as the initial anger faded away, the emperor thought more and more about Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin. Although it was impossible for Yin Zhao to be rehabilitated, Mu However, the accusation of treason is basically undetermined, and the title of Princess Qianxin is very stable. There has never been any talk of being deprived of her title since the incident broke out.

Coupled with the influence of two generations of generals, Yin and Qi, in the military, the children of the Yin family in Meizhuang are really not ordinary civilians, even more so than the two families in the capital and the so-called official children of the Yin family in Ningzhou. It is valuable, especially Yin Zhiruo, who has a huge fortune and has left an impression on the emperor by virtue of being a "home of soldiers".

Of course, an abandoned woman cannot be her daughter-in-law, but giving her the status of a concubine or even a common wife can still be considered. After all, although she is a British prince, Pan Jiajin is just a scholar now and has no official errands. There is no prince status either.

The important thing is that with the influence of the military and huge financial support, Pan Jiajin's ability to compete for British government resources is naturally different from the past. Even the emperor and queen should look at him more, or even look at him with admiration.Those who are close or not, apart from the blood relationship and the layer of belly separation, interests are also the first to bear the brunt.

Of course, if Jin'er can capture the heart of Princess Chunxi this time, marry Princess Chunxi, and take Yin Zhiruo as his concubine in the future, it will be perfect. However, in that case, Yin Zhiruo can only be a concubine at best. , it is impossible to have an equal wife.However, being a concubine under the direct princess is not a grievance, right?

Because of this sudden thought, Mrs. Song's attitude towards Yin Zhiruo immediately improved greatly, and the smile on her face became more sincere.Only by winning over Yin Zhiruo first can it be possible for her to wait patiently until Jin'er gets married before entering the house. Fortunately, Yin Zhiruo still has to observe filial piety for fifteen months.

How could Yin Zhiruo have imagined that this woman was actually thinking about her, and would generously consider being a common wife or a noble concubine, otherwise she would have just given him a blank look, what a dream!Concubine?She doesn't care about being a wife, right?
The host and guest sat down one by one. Mrs. Song saw that Pan Shumin was still pouting with a dark face, and sighed secretly, with the loving smile on her face unchanged: "Ling'er lives here, and I'm bothering you siblings. I'm the aunt. , I really need to express my gratitude. This child is spoiled and pampered, and is the treasure of our Duke's palace. It is inevitable that he is a little pampered, and he is not very talkative. If there is anything that is not...pleasant, please forgive me, Miss Yin. .Miss Yin San, Xuan...Xuan'er, right? You look like a good, well-behaved and sensible child, so please give in to us, Ling'er. The Empress is the most precious to her youngest niece."

Zhiruo just happened to take a sip of tea. He turned his head slightly by putting down the tea cup, and then used a handkerchief to seal the corners of his lips. The rich sarcasm and disdain in his eyes flashed before he sat upright. He raised his body, put on a polite smile, and was about to say a few perfunctory words. At the same time, he wanted to see how he could seek justice for Xiao Shu Ling without leaving any trace.

No, Xuan'er didn't think too much and directly defended her good friend: "Mrs. Pan is too modest. Sister Ling'er is not pampering at all. Xuan'er likes to study and play with Sister Ling'er the most. Yes, Mother You and Mr. Chen also praised Sister Ling'er and asked me to learn more from Sister Ling'er."

Zhiruo nodded secretly. There were some things she couldn't say inconveniently, but when Xuan'er, a six or seven-year-old child, said it, it was hard for people to care.Qiyou's mother taught her very well. Zhixuan was very young, but her attitude when responding was neither humble nor arrogant, and her speaking speed was neither urgent nor slow, just right. In addition to being polite and restrained, her little eyes showed a sense of protection for Pan Shuling.

Too self-effacing?Zhiruo secretly applauded, these three words are so well used, thanks to Madam Chen, haha!

Aunt Ling and Ben Yue also had the same word in their eyes: Wonderful!He secretly thought that it was no wonder that the prince loved this little girl so much, and it was no wonder that his own girl treated her sincerely. The girl was seven or eight years old, and she had never been so close to any little girl.

Mrs. Song's expression was very ugly. She was about to catch up with Pan Shumin who was leaning next to her. She secretly cursed that she was indeed Princess Qianxin's shrewd daughter. Why are these two sisters so sharp-tongued?How unpleasant! "You little thing, you are really protective of your shortcomings!" Zhiruo smiled and gave Zhixuan a look, but his eyes were full of doting. "I know that you and Miss Pan Wu are good friends, but Mrs. Pan only said polite words and complimented you. , Miss Pan is pampered or not, Mrs. Pan still doesn't know?" Unless you have to, it's better not to offend the Song family directly, there is nothing to deal with, so why make another enemy?There are already enough enemies in the capital who want to step on their siblings more, so what if there is one less?
As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and Mrs. Song is definitely a villain.No matter how bad things are for the Pan family, they still rely on the influence of the British government. They should try their best not to make enemies, at least not directly.

"That's right," Mrs. Song also said with a smile, "Xuan'er is really a child who protects her shortcomings. Just like our Min'er, Min'er also protects Ling'er the most. By the way, Zhiruo girl, Xuan'er just I'm talking about Mama You, but that Aunt You in Beijing?" Didn't you say that Aunt You went south to join her nephew?Did you continue to return to the Yin family?If this is the case, this Aunt You is really good. Did she already predict that the emperor would not convict Yin Zhao of treason? Or was it because Yin Zhiruo's reward was too high and he couldn't resist the temptation of money, so he gave up so much in the capital? An invitation from a powerful family to such a village?
Zhiruo smiled and said: "Xuan'er's upbringing mother has always been Mother You, and there has never been a change. When I returned to Beijing to pick up my younger siblings last year, Mother You came with us. She couldn't bear to leave Xuan'er and her second sister." If he hadn't been basically convinced that his father was guilty of treason in this life, Zhiruo would not have agreed to Mama You's return at all.

It’s really Aunt You, Mrs. Song curled her lips secretly, money can make the world go round!

So is it possible that she can persuade Aunt You to come back to Beijing with her? If Aunt You is willing to teach Pan Shumin, it will naturally be more to her liking than Mama Qu who has already agreed, and it will also be better for Pan Shumin's reputation.

Or, use Mama Qu first, and then let her take the initiative to persuade Nanny You to switch to the British government to teach Min'er after Yin Zhiruo comes in. Then she can be allowed to follow Min'er in her old age. There will be such a shrewd and experienced grandmother following Min'er. Marrying into your husband's family is a big help.

After all, now she still has to win over the Yin Zhiruo siblings and make her wholeheartedly join Jin'er and their Pan family. It would not be good to cause further conflicts because of Aunt You's matter.Fortunately, Min'er is still young. Many girls only ask their foster mothers when they are twelve or thirteen years old. They can provide guidance on rules and etiquette for a few years and prepare for marriage. The more famous a foster mother is, the more expensive it is to hire one. All can bear it easily.If it weren't for the support of the British government, just with the little salary of the master, well, they wouldn't have been able to ask for advice from their foster mother so early, especially those with such reputations as Mother You and Mother Qu.

"If there's nothing wrong with Auntie, Ling'er and Xuan'er are going to resign. Mr. Chen asked us to compete in memorizing poems." Pan Shuling became impatient when she saw Song babbling about without having anything to say to her. The ground wanted to leave.Her aunt also asked her to spend less time with her aunt and fourth sister, so as not to act too rude.Of course, with Nanny Ling following her, she wasn't afraid that she would be too rude. Nanny Ling would remind her in time, stop her, or come back for her.

The dead girl who can’t stand up to the stage!Mrs. Song secretly cursed, and she didn't know how to hide it outside. Family scandal should not be made public. Shouldn't we show a harmonious and warm family tradition in front of outsiders? It was taught by the fourth-grade palace maid, hum!
Swearing was a curse, but it didn't show on his face at all. Of course, for Mr. Song, this was just a common thing to do while eating and drinking, and he was naturally comfortable doing it.

"Ouch," Mrs. Song said with a smile, "Meizhuang is really good at feng shui. We Ling'er can recite poems, and we can't wait. Go, go, let your sister Min'er go with you, and take her with you. Come on, it's her first day in Meizhuang." Let Min'er and Yin Zhixuan get acquainted with each other, and relax. Children are the most forgetful, and they might be able to talk and laugh freely in less than an hour. In this way, she tactfully proposed that their mother and daughter They would be more confident if they also stayed in Meizhuang temporarily with Pan Shuling.

What does it matter if Pan Jiaming doesn't want to pull strings? Can't the owner just nod and invite?If she could live in Meizhuang, firstly, she would get along more easily, which would help her get closer to Yin Zhiruo as soon as possible; secondly, Pan Jiajin would also have an excuse to come to Meizhuang and walk around. She believed that her Jin'er was so good and was still very nice to the girls. Attractive; Thirdly, isn’t it also close to Xujia Village?It was convenient for her to care about Princess Chunxi and talk to Princess Thea about Da Ying customs every day, but it was too far from the inn.

After listening to Mrs. Song's words, Zhiruo was speechless. Mrs. Pan, who was known as the "kind aunt", really never forgets to say a few words to her nephews and nieces. Isn't it an unconscious habit?
However, the little girl Pan Shumin didn't seem to understand her mother's painstaking efforts. She glared at her cousin with a look of jealousy and showed no intention of moving. She didn't know whether she was unwilling to join Pan Shuling or waiting for Pan Shuling or Xuan'er. personal invitation.

Pan Shuling and Pan Shuling didn't respond further, but Grandma Ling frowned in embarrassment: "Madam, the fifth girl and Miss Xuan'er want to memorize poems, why not ask Miss Yin to send someone to lead the fourth girl around?" Then she moved forward. Taking a step forward, he lowered his voice in Madam Song's ear and said, "I dare not be careless about the Queen's instructions, and please forgive me, Madam."

"You..." Mrs. Song's face turned livid, and she was about to curse, but for some reason, something stirred in her head. She suddenly thought of Pan Jiaming's mention of "zodiac signs restraining each other" a few days ago, and restrained herself.If this nanny Ling, who didn't give her any face at all, said that the zodiac signs were incompatible with each other in front of so many people in the Yin family, or even that Min'er was better than Pan Shuling, Min'er's reputation would be ruined. She couldn't refute it because "zodiac signs are incompatible with each other" "Xiang Ke" was first brought up by her, and the so-called "Miner Ke Pan Shu Ling" theory was calculated by the Queen Empress by asking Qin Tian Jian to calculate it. Does she dare to say that Qin Tian Jian is talking nonsense, or did the Queen Empress do it on purpose?
Zhiruo, who has strong inner strength and stronger ears than ordinary people, couldn't help but gossip in her heart. The Queen explained?Explain what?Looking at this formation, Pan Shumin is not allowed to get close to Pan Shuling, right?Well, didn't it mean that Pan Shuling had a lot of accidents in the past few years?Therefore, it is really possible to anger the Queen and issue this edict, haha.Looking at Mrs. Pan's obviously trying her best to restrain herself, daring to get angry but not speaking out, Zhiruo was even more sure, Mrs. Song was obviously well aware of that explanation.

Mrs. Song really dared to be angry but dared not speak out. At this moment, she only felt that her head was swelling and her heart was hurting, but she could not vent her anger. She also didn't know how to get off the stage.She blamed herself, she just thought that if she was not in the capital, without the Queen and the old lady watching, she would have less scruples. After all, Pan Shuling was just a little girl, a cowardly and introverted stupid girl, but she forgot for a moment that over the years, damn The two cheap slaves, Nanny Ling and Ben Yue, never respected her at all, but they made her suffer a lot.

Fortunately, Zhiruo, who had finished the gossip, relented for a moment. As if he had just remembered something, he handed Mrs. Song a step and said, "Mother Ling is right. Let Ruchun lead Miss Pan to Meilin's place to have a look." Well, don’t let Xuan’er lead the way, she always wants to show off her jasmine field, but now all she can see is dead branches, haha.”
