The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 98

The eldest wife had to settle the second wife in the Dongci room, and brought in a few daughters of the Yang family to comfort the second aunt.

"The imperial court was not peaceful at all, and they kept clamoring to change generals and send the eldest son of the emperor to the front line to replace Duke Ping." The eldest wife explained to the second wife carefully, "Your uncle's troubles are actually scaring you. It is even more embarrassing to say that the Liu family seized the military rations privately..."

Without food, even if Duke Ping has all kinds of abilities, how can he win the battle?

At this time, the private seizure of military rations must be paving the way for changing generals.

The Grand Master's disturbance clearly laid out the plan of the eldest son of the emperor on the table.

The second wife looked anxious, "Then the Liu family... isn't it going to turn against our Yang family?"

The eldest lady couldn't help showing a little impatience.

The Elder has taken Liu Zhengsuo to Beijing, even if the Liu family has no intention of turning against the Yang family, the Yang family has no intention of letting the Liu family go so easily.

"You can't blame your uncle for this matter," the eldest wife said in a steady tone, "Northwest is tight, and the eldest son of the emperor hinted at the Liu family's seizure of military rations for his own selfish desire. Liu family, if the defense line is breached and Bei Rong enters the customs, what face will we have to return to Yang Family Village in the future?"

This is the dual pressure of the clan and the country, and the elder has no way out.

Not to mention the relationship between Duke Ping and the Yang family...

No matter how much the price is paid, the Elder Master will definitely send the military rations on the road.

The second wife finally squeezed out a smile, "Fortunately, the children are all by my side, if there is anything... I can arrange it as soon as possible."

No wonder she was anxious.

The eldest son of the emperor has always been trusted by the emperor. Although he does not say anything in the court, but it is not easy for the Yang family to take him down. Otherwise, how can he stand against the prince for many years?
Locking Liu Zheng in the Yang family is tantamount to falling out with the eldest son of the emperor. Who knows how this nobleman will deal with the Yang family?

The eldest lady sighed, "Don't think too much about it, but go back and pack up the things, there is something wrong, we will go back to Shaanxi overnight."

When they arrived in Shaanxi, it was the territory of the Yang family. The power of the family could at least protect the safety of the two female relatives.

At the same time, he winked at the first lady, fifth lady, and seventh lady who were sitting beside her.

The fifth lady persuaded the second wife fiercely, "Isn't there still a father in front, no matter how bad it is, there are still uncles, second uncles, second aunts, and third aunts. To fight against one family is to form an alliance with another family! "

An enemy's enemy is a friend, and Wu Niangzi can see this truth so clearly.

Seventh Lady couldn't help but look at Fifth Lady with admiration.

The second wife really became pensive.

After a while, he got up and said goodbye, "There are still many things to settle."

With a strong enemy like the eldest son of the emperor established in the Yang family, there are indeed many more areas to manage.

The eldest wife did not keep the second wife.

Looking back, I sighed to my daughters, "I have had acne for more than a month, and I didn't even say hello, let alone taking care of the sickness... Something happened to implicate her, so I suddenly came over to wipe my tears."

The first lady just laughed and didn't agree.

Fifth Lady moved her mouth, but stopped talking.

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to go out in person, "Actually, it's not without greetings, I also sent Mother Lu who is beside me to ask you how you are." She sighed, "It's because Second Aunt is in poor health and it's a bitter summer, so I can't come here in person. gone."

Although the second wife didn't come over in person during that time, she still sent people to say hello every now and then.She relied heavily on Mother Lu as her dowry, so she came to the door every three days to say hello.

It's just that Mrs. Seven is already at the eldest wife's bedside, and her good words only reach the eldest wife's ears twice out of ten times.

Adding this sentence now, it is firmly established that the second wife prefers the easy and fears the heavy, and is unwilling to serve the eldest wife, so she will be accused of selling out.

"Ku Xia?" The eldest wife really sneered, "We grew up together, but I have never heard of your second aunt being Ku Xia!"

He looked at Qin Niangzi lovingly, "It's just that you can't eat every year when you enter July, so you should invite a doctor to take care of it!"

Qin Niangzi pursed her lips and thanked the eldest wife, "Mother still loves Xiao Qi."

It seems to be filial piety of mother and daughter.

Fifth Lady looked at Seventh Lady, and curled her lips slightly.

The eldest wife gave the first lady a few more words, and then sighed wearily.

"I wanted you to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now I can't." She apologized, "There are so many things at home right now, and my health is not good..."

"It's nothing! Anyway, the eldest son-in-law is not at home. Even if I live in my mother's house for a few more years, no one can say anything!" The first lady hurriedly explained to the eldest wife.

Having said that, there is also a trace of unnaturalness.

People in the country love gossip and gossip, and a first-time wife will only return to her mother's house for a few months, so I'm afraid it will attract a lot of discussion.

If it is the second wife, I am afraid that the eldest wife will not allow it if she intends to stay for such a long time.

But the eldest wife just had acne, and it was when she was weak.

The second wife had an unbearable look on her face.

The third lady and the fourth lady are hopeless, and the fifth lady is childish... The seventh lady is still young.

Besides the first lady, who should I count on for help?

The first-time lady showed a moment of helplessness, and then she returned to her natural state, chatting and laughing with the eldest wife, coaxing the eldest wife into a smile.

It's as if the affairs of the Liu family are not under the care of the eldest wife.

Seventh Lady couldn't help being a little surprised.

According to the eldest wife's mind, the affairs of the Liu family can make her a little unhappy.

how……

Wu Niangzi asked directly. "Mother, although the second aunt is timid, she is right. Do you think we should arrange some back-ups?"

The eldest wife and the first lady looked at each other and laughed.

"When you think about making arrangements, the day lily will be cold." The eldest wife said casually, "Your father has his own plans for the Liu family's affairs. In all likelihood, our family will not suffer."

Both Seventh Lady and Fifth Lady were puzzled.

The eldest wife had no choice but to explain to her daughters again, "Your father has always been a dissident. Although he is close to the Qin family and the Xu family, he has never spoken for the prince. The emperor knows this matter well, otherwise we Yang The position of home can’t be so secure.”

"The anger this time is also due to the tight border situation. The Liu family is too short-sighted and disregards the overall situation for the party's struggle. It is a taboo of the emperor. After transporting this batch of military rations from Zhejiang, the front line will not be easily short of food. It can show its hands and feet. As long as the situation is stable, how can the emperor punish our Yang family? But the Liu family, this time I am afraid it will be unlucky."

Hearing the calm tone of the eldest lady, the young ladies all relaxed.

Although they don't understand political matters, they also know that they are related to their own vital interests. It is of course best for the Yang family to survive this wave of crisis without incident.

"However, there are some things that we must hurry up." The eldest wife spoke mysteriously, "We are not afraid of [-], just in case, we have to plan for the future."

The first lady called softly, "Mother, what do you mean..."

The eldest lady smiled and nodded. "The first lady is right. After thinking about it, I also think it's appropriate to do so."

The first lady immediately smiled, got up and held the hand of Seventh Lady, "Seventh Sister, I really congratulate you!"

Seventh Lady couldn't help being stunned.

It was the first time to see a first-time lady so happy.

Fifth Lady was also a little surprised.

The eldest lady smiled at Qin Niangzi, "I thought, this time when I go to the genealogy, I will put you and brother Jiu, twin siblings, under my name!"

Both Seventh Lady and Fifth Lady gasped.

If it is written under the name of the eldest wife, then it is a prostitute!

As long as you live in Daqin's daughter's house, who else doesn't know the difference between the concubine and the concubine?

Only a descendant can marry into a family of comparable status as a daughter-in-law, and only a descendant is eligible to inherit the dowry of his aunt...

The eldest lady's move was indeed unexpected.

Countless thoughts swirled in Seventh Lady's mind.

The reaction of the Eldest Master and Ninth Brother, the uneasiness that the Feng family might feel, the hostility from the concubine sisters, the role of the first lady in this matter...

Looking at the smiling faces of the eldest wife and the first lady, she could only make one expression.

Seventh Lady slowly covered her mouth.

With disbelief all over his face, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Mother, this... this..."

The eldest lady patted her knee with a smile, "It's time to change your mouth!"

Seventh Lady burst into tears.

She fell to her knees and changed her words meekly.

"mother!"

When she said this, what appeared in her mind was Jiu Yiniang's gloomy face.
