The emperor declared me again

Chapter 446 Why haven't I seen it?
When Mo Liyuan said this, Madam Nian was very surprised. The offspring of her mother's family?It should be her cousin's child, her cousin and niece.

It's just that my mother cut off contact with her natal family many years ago, and Mrs. Nian didn't even know that there was a cousin in the capital. Speaking of which, the Nian family has been in the capital for decades. The capital is not big or small. Although Mrs. Nian doesn't like the gatherings of those noble ladies, she usually doesn't shirk it.

Why haven't you seen this before?
Mrs. Nian asked suspiciously: "If you're really in the capital, how come you don't know anything about it for so many years? It's too strange that you haven't even met once, right?"

Mo Liyuan twitched his lips helplessly, and said, "Mrs. Zhao is a concubine, and her biological mother is an unfavored concubine, so it's reasonable that you didn't see your mother-in-law."

Mrs. Nian opened her mouth wide in surprise, and said, "Concubine? My mother's family can be considered to be well-off, and there have been several generations of scholars. How could she allow the family members to be concubines? You know, once you become a concubine, among scholars I can't hold my head up."

Mrs. Nian didn't expect her cousin to be in this situation. No wonder she hasn't seen each other for so many years. In the aristocratic family, concubines are two circles, and wives and concubines are also two circles. It is impossible to get together.

Mo Liyuan smiled sarcastically, "Mother-in-law doesn't know why my grandmother cut off contact with her natal family?"

Mrs. Nian said with some uncertainty: "Actually, I don't know this very well. In my memory, my mother has no contact with her natal family, and my mother hardly mentions things about my grandparents' family. I asked about it when I was young, and my mother just avoided it." I didn’t answer, but later my father said that my grandfather’s family was gone, so in order not to make my mother sad, I didn’t mention it, and when I grew up, I vaguely knew the inside story.”

Mo Liyuan frowned, and said: "Well, it's no wonder you don't know mother-in-law, mother-in-law should know that grandmother is a second marriage, right?"

Mrs. Nian nodded, "I know that."

"My grandmother's first marriage was unfortunate, and she divorced within two years. The first marriage was because my grandmother's natal family was greedy for a gift, so my grandmother married. , so I lost contact with Li Hou when he went away to another country."

"Coveting a bride price? My father said that my mother's family is good. How could that be?" Mrs. Nian couldn't believe it.

"I checked later, and it is true that there have been several generations of scholars, and their reputation in the local area is quite good. It's just that my grandmother's natal brothers are not up to date, and they don't study well. Instead, they got into bad habits and almost emptied the family, so I just married my daughter to fill the family, so it's normal for your mother-in-law and your cousin to be concubines."

Mrs. Nian didn't expect her mother's natal family to be so upset, "I didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder my mother didn't want to mention it. I think she was heartbroken. However, my mother's natal family is far away from the capital. How could Zhao's biological mother come here? The capital? Or did the family move to the capital?"

Mrs. Nian turned to ask about Zhao's situation, and Mo Liyuan explained: "I only made a general survey of what happened back then. Mr. Zhao happened to go there on business, and Mrs. Zhao's biological mother had a wrong idea and deliberately plotted against Mr. Zhao. , I originally wanted to send it away directly, but I didn't expect to be pregnant with a child, so I had to stay."
