Chapter 76

Because the details of this story are true and the plot is exciting, many people rushed to circulate it. Not only Mi Niang, but also Jian Yuehua, Wang Sanniang and others have read it. Jian Yuehua even said to her husband Zhang Ao in private: "This can't be about Wang Sanniang."

Because Wang Sanniang's eldest sister was born out of wedlock, she married her stepmother's nephew, and her second sister was born out of wedlock, and she was also very arrogant.

This can't help but make people guess.

The Wang with a different surname is of course referring to Cui Ti. Cui Ti came from a prominent family in Boling. Although the Cui family in Boling was not as prestigious as the one in the Tang Dynasty, it was still a famous and prominent family that ordinary people could not match.

Zhang Ao didn't care much about these, but when he heard that it was related to Cui Ti, he took a look and laughed at the end: "I think the heroine's childhood sweetheart Lin Qingzheng is quite interesting. He doesn't like virtuous heroines, but prefers seductive people. It's obvious that he won't go far."

Jian Yuehua waved her hands: "How can you tell that I have a preference? Lin Qingzheng has always liked the heroine Lu Mingzhu. It was this older sister who seduced him."

"Where in the world are there any deceived men?" Zhang Ao is a man himself, so how could he not know the secret?

Don't talk about being forced to seduced. Love between men and women is not something that can be forced. Moreover, she was seduced while drunk. If a man is really drunk, how can he have sex?

It was also said that the mother of the childhood sweetheart was deceived by the girl's sweet words. This wife of an official for many years usually managed her household affairs in an orderly manner. How could she be so easily deceived?

For a moment, Zhang Ao didn't know how to complain.

Wang Sanniang was also pregnant, and she also read the storybook for entertainment. The cover was called "Moon Shadow". The heroine Lu Mingzhu was originally named Lu Mingzhu, but because the mistress thought the name was too big, she changed her name to Mingzhu.

Although she was an inconspicuous moon, her life was getting better and better, better than that of all her sisters.

For a moment, Wang Sanniang also felt that the heroine in the book was very similar to her. She used to be the most inconspicuous, but later she married the best among all the sisters. However, she was not as lucky as the heroine. Although she was favored, her first wife left behind two sons and a concubine's daughter.

Thinking that the concubine is getting older and will reach marriage age in a few years, and that her husband has entrusted her with his care, Wang Sanniang thought to herself, it would be great if I could really be like Lu Mingzhu in this book.

As for Guan Huiqing, her son was taken away to the main house. She was angry but dared not say anything. She had nothing to do on weekdays, but the servants bought her some storybooks to entertain her. She felt that she was Aunt Wu in the storybooks. If her son had a promising future, she would also have an imperial edict and would be able to hold her head high sooner or later.

Everyone has their own feelings when reading a book. Fang Yaqing only read the storybook, Mi Niang stopped reading halfway through and thought that the book was too punitive to women, so she threw it away. Wang Sanniang and Guan Huiqing both felt that the book fit their own life experiences...

After putting aside the storybook, Mi Niang read poems and books from various places every day, but she didn't read them all the time. When she had time, she would take care of the yard and do household chores.

In a courtyard, there should be neither too much nor too little. The master should not get angry easily and should not judge lawsuits all the time, otherwise, there will be chaos here. Fortunately, Chuntao has more experience and is fair, so she is in charge and Mi Niang delegates power to her.

Furthermore, Mi Niang usually treats her servants neither too close nor too distant, thus maintaining a distance. She just knows how to use people well.

Today is the day when the aunt of the Nanping Marquis's mansion returns to her parents' home. She doesn't come back very often, and no one knows what she is doing this time.

Xia Lian came over to serve tea and said, "I heard that Miss He is here too. Madam asked our third daughter to go and entertain the guests, and she wants you to go too."

"Okay, I'll go there right away." Mi Niang yawned, put on a cloak, put two soup pots in her hands, and sat in a warm sedan chair to Songhe Hall.

When she came over, there was already laughter and joy inside. The aunt especially liked to show off. She was saying, "Our Tinglan was just appointed as a general of Wude last month. He wanted to come and pay his respects to grandma, but he has been appointed as a envoy and is currently out of town. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in time for the New Year."

Mrs. Weng smiled and said, "It is more important for young people like them to do more things."

Seeing Mi Niang coming in, Nanping Earl's wife smiled and said, "It's you who came. I heard from your wife that you were pregnant. Are you feeling well now?"

Mi Niang said, "Thank you for your concern. I am much better now than I was at the beginning."

Pregnancy is actually a very torturous thing, but she doesn't want to say this in public. Telling her pain to a casual acquaintance would make people feel dumbfounded.

Those who care about you, like Fang Weiyan, will naturally understand her hard work. If they don’t, why should she waste her breath on them?

After she finished speaking, she sat down below Third Grandma. Third Grandma saw Mi Niang sitting down, holding her belly, and bit her lower lip. She didn't know why, even Fourth Grandma, who came in after her, gave birth to a son, but she was still not pregnant.

I took a lot of medicine, but I don't know why, I just can't get pregnant.

Therefore, she couldn't muster up any energy at all to entertain guests like this, and she felt listless all over.

Mi Niang had a neither-or-nonsense relationship with her, so naturally she wouldn't say too much to comfort her.

But after chatting for a few words, Mi Niang went to her mother-in-law's place. On the way, she met Fang Yaqing and He Dizhu picking red plums. Mi Niang said, "You two should be careful not to drop anything."

"I know, sister-in-law. Madam is waiting for you. Go quickly." Fang Yaqing greeted and ran away with He Dizhu.

When Mi Niang arrived at Xu's place and sat down, she heard Xu say, "The eldest aunt came today to marry Dizhu to our Weijun. What do you think?"

According to Mi Niang, He Dizhu was too soft-hearted, and being the mistress might not be a good thing. However, Xu specifically brought this up, and Mi Niang just smiled and said, "I think Madam has already made the decision, so why ask me?"

"I said you are smart, and you really are smart, but how can I refuse?" Xu was also very distressed.

In terms of identity, He Dizhu is the daughter of the Nanping Earl and the younger sister of the Crown Prince, but this girl is too mediocre and cowardly. How can such a girl manage the household after she gets married?

How could Mi Niang come up with an idea for this matter? Wouldn't it offend the eldest aunt if she came up with this idea? She said distressedly: "I don't know about this. How about I go ask the fourth master?"

Xu said hurriedly: "Since you don't have any idea, I'll think about it first."

"Okay, Madam, take your time to think about it. I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that she stood up for Fang Yaqing once, she really thought she was stupid! She would never interfere in Fang Weijun's marriage. In fact, it was easy for her to refuse.

To be honest, although Xu chose her to marry Fang Weiyan, this marriage was really more than half a matter of luck. If she was a beautiful woman with a pretty face but a rotten heart, then Fang Weiyan would have married the wrong person.

People like Jin Shuqin could have been dealt with long ago. Fortunately, Fang Weiyan has strong willpower, otherwise he would have been hooked long ago. Most men in the world are like Xu Jing who lack willpower, and Fang Weiyan is a minority.

Regarding Fang Yaqing's matter, Xu was so easily swayed, and later on, she was too naive when it came to Fang Furong's matter. If Fang Weiyan had not intervened, Fang Weijun himself might have been dragged into this matter in the end.

Although she is resourceful, she is not completely cruel, has an unstable will, and tends to be inconsistent in her actions.

Although she was quite nice to her and Mi Niang respected her, she had to think twice before asking her to do something for her.

It is also said that the days are short and the nights are long in winter, and Fang Weiyan's luck is not very good today, so Cui Ti caught him to write a Qingci.

When the weather is cold, the feeling of being hungry is the most uncomfortable. Now Cui Ti will of course not lock him up anymore, but she won't give him food either.

Wang Sanniang chuckled and said to Cui Ti, "Master, why did you ask someone to come again today? It's freezing cold, this is not the right thing to do."

Cui Ti said indifferently: "Young people nowadays are much less able to endure hardships than we were back then. They are doing a terrible job in library classes. If I don't train them more, how can they become talents?"

"In that case, we might as well send some hot wine and hot food."

"You don't have to worry. If he really can't do it, I'll just let him go back."

Because Fang Weiyan knew that Xiao Mi Niang was very sensible, he asked Chang Shou to go back and tell her that he would be staying at the residence of Master Cui today and would not be going back.

Today, Mi Niang specially asked the kitchen to stew a pot of lamb legs sent by her parents. Ever since she became pregnant, her mother would send her anything delicious. Mi Niang also specially kept some for her and Fang Wei Yan to enjoy at dinner.

Mi Niang could fully sense his true feelings for her.

But after waiting for a long time, the person did not show up, but instead got some bad news.

"What did you say Cui Ti asked Wei Yan to stay and write Qingci again?"

Chang Shou was also annoyed when he thought about it: "Yes, our grandfather was also called away, saying that he did not do well in the class. It is obvious that our fourth grandfather did a good job."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mi Niang gritted her teeth when she said these three good words.

"Fourth Master told Grandma not to wait for him, he will be here for a while."

"Hmph, hurry up and prepare a car for me, I'm going to Cui's house." If a tiger doesn't show its power, it will really think that people are sick cats.

It was okay the first few times, but she was really addicted. She couldn't be too obedient, or someone would come and step on her. She rubbed her belly and saw Chang Shou still standing there in a daze, so she hurriedly urged him, "Go, hurry up."

Chang Shou was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed: "Fourth Grandma, you are still pregnant, you must not torture her."

"I'm already in a stable pregnancy, so don't worry. If we keep letting Cui Ti go on like this, she might really think that someone in our family is dead. I know what I'm doing, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. Hurry up and prepare a car for me." Mi Niang had of course thought that it was because Fang Wei Yan had just entered the Hanlin Academy and it was inappropriate for him to conflict with Shangguan.

But it can't always be like this. Now I'm just a Shujishi, and I'll become an editor in the future, and maybe even move up. Can I always be under his control?

If he could really take care of Fang Weiyan, he could just show his power once or twice, but if he did it five or six times, it would be considered bullying.

Of course, it's fine to be able to endure it, but Mi Niang vaguely felt that Fang Weiyan and Xu were slightly similar, perhaps not very obvious. She felt that Fang Weiyan was always reluctant when doing things, and always left room for others.

But there are some things that you can't be too good-tempered about, especially for those who want to leave their names in history, they must make decisions.

"Get the car ready quickly, no need to wait any longer." Mi Niang's eyes were cold.
