Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 286 Chapter 85 · Show weakness

  The weather is hot day by day, and going to court has become a chore.

   In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it was unbearably cold, but once the weather warmed up, people would not feel well. Originally, the Great Court was the most troublesome for some of the ministers who lived far away.

   But recently, the officials in the capital have been uncharacteristically, and all of them are more anxious than waiting to hold their sons.

  Without him, it has become an interesting thing to go to court recently—they went to court a few days ago, and they also met Duke Cheng and the Prince of Guangping Hou Shizi fighting.

   It’s true that if you live for a long time, you can see everything.

The grievances between the two families are also well known. After a fight, Duke Chengguo had a bruised face, and the Prince of Guangping had a bruised face. I heard that they were all reprimanded by the sage, but what happened? But did not say.

  Since the stalemate has no answer, how can the parties pretend that nothing happened?

   Recently, all the people who are closer to the Xu family have people from the Xu family to report their mourning.

   Suddenly a son died, and a daughter-in-law died. Although the Xu family did a lot of things in the past, they were so miserable. Naturally, no one mentioned Zhang Linghui.

   Besides, Master Zhang is not a thing, but he is already dead.

   Now everyone has more sympathy for the Xu family than they were shocked at the beginning.

   Besides, I heard from the condolences of the Xu family that Mrs. Xu suddenly aged more than ten years.

  Everyone knows how much Madam Xu loves her young son, and at this moment, everyone feels a little more compassion for the Xu family.

Princess Mingchang who came to the door at this time was one of the people who couldn't bear it. When she saw Mrs. Xu, she was first taken aback - Mrs. Xu used to be well maintained. Although she was a grandmother, she looked like a four-year-old at most. Ten people, but now they have white hair on the temples, and their faces are sallow.

   Her eyes were sore for no reason, and she sighed: "Why are you suffering?"

Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly, and hurriedly came forward to salute her, and was supported by Princess Mingchang before choking: "It's shameful to say, my son has made such a big mistake, although he is not good, but it is me. My son, he has lost his life now, and it makes me sad."

  Princess Mingchang's concubine also came from Zhangzhou Li's family, and he has some relatives with Mrs. Xu. Later, the concubine lost his life because of the uprising, but the relationship between the two families is still close.

Seeing Mrs. Xu crying like this, Princess Mingchang didn't feel good about it, she took the veil and passed it over, shaking her head and said, "This child, Aying, is really bold this time, how can you even do such a thing? "

  The Song family is the emperor's uncle's family, and it is too arrogant to break ground on their heads.

Madam Xu choked and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault, if I hadn't blindly protected him and pampered him, this child wouldn't be so ignorant, he's just too playful, and after being taught a lesson by Song Heng, he always thinks about it. Let's go back to the place. We are all over the world, how could we expect him to be so impulsive? But now even if we want to beat him and scold him, it won't work."

   Mrs. Xu burst into tears.

Seeing how she could barely straighten her back from crying, Princess Mingchang's heart softened a little, and she couldn't help but say: "Things have already happened, you should also think about it, people can't be resurrected from the dead, if you mourning too much , wouldn't it be even more uneasy to let that child go underground?"

Madam Xu covered her face with her sleeves, and after a while she stopped crying, her eyes were red and swollen with a wry smile: "Yeah, one went, and another followed, if I don't hold on any longer, it will be difficult for this family. Chengdu is going to be on the grandfather of the country? He is getting older, how can he withstand such a toss?"

   People came to pay homage one after another. Mrs. Xu held Princess Mingchang's hand with dry lips, and said in a low voice, "Thanks to my second brother and sister for helping me, otherwise, how would I be able to survive now?"

In the past, the Duke's Mansion was honorable and honorable, but at this point, Princess Mingchang couldn't help sighing, "Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law is also unlucky, where can you find such a good mother-in-law in this capital? But she can't stand it."

   There is no regret for Zhang Linghui's death in his words.

   Mrs. Xu wanted this effect. Only when Zhang Linghui died would those pedantic officials and the noble ladies who attended the Spring Banquet be satisfied.

  Fortunately, the affairs of men and women in this world, no matter right or wrong, will always be blamed on women in the end.

Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, and said silently: "The Zhang family only told us that she had withdrawn from the engagement, and it was the Su family who didn't want to delay her. It's not that I didn't know A Rui's temperament. It doesn't matter where the family is, after all, although Mr. Zhang is not very good, the old man's reputation is still there. Who knows that the Zhang family is so deceitful behind the scenes."

   As she was talking, Mama Li reported that Mrs. Xu Er was coming, so Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from her face and looked at Princess Mingchang apologetically. Seeing that Princess Mingchang didn't mind, she let Mrs. Xu in.

Mrs. Xu Er came in in a hurry, her face was pale and pale, she bowed to Princess Mingchang first, then turned to Mrs. Xu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang led someone to cry outside. , say it's us."

   Hearing the words Zhang Family, Princess Mingchang frowned subconsciously in disgust.

   Mrs. Xu Er also coughed as well, and then she resisted the boredom and pursed her lips and said, "It is said that we are mean to our daughter-in-law, harsh to our in-laws, and keep asking for Tongzhou and Tongji."

Madam Xu grabbed the handle of the chair in shock and stood up in a hurry, her face flushed and embarrassed looking at Princess Mingchang, her lips were squirming but she couldn't say anything. She blessed Princess Mingchang and turned around to go out, holding back tears. But his feet were soft and nearly fell.

Princess Mingchang frowned, couldn't help snorting, and said bluntly: "You are really good-natured! This season is the most difficult time for you. They don't say that they will help you in the snow, this is simply a joke. Adding fuel to the fire is really disgusting! You are such a person, can't you see that they are deliberately seeking benefits. "

The daughter had just died, and when the bones were still cold, they were family members, and they didn't even plan for their daughter's grandson. They even came here to benefit from it. They were afraid that after the death of their daughter, they would not be able to touch the Xu family's light. The face is really ugly.

   Even Princess Mingchang couldn't stand it.

   She couldn't help shaking her head: "If you do this again, you will really hurt your two grandchildren."

   Madam Xu's tears came down again, and she shook her head unspeakably.

   Let’s update two chapters first, and I’ll update the rest when I get home later.

   Thank you all for your support and love, thank you so much.
