Chapter 347: Wenjiu took the wrong medicine?
Ulanara immediately explained, "Mother, the Fourth Master didn't sleep at my place yesterday."
Concubine De's expression remained cold. "Why? Since the Fourth Brother doesn't stay overnight at your place, don't you worry about him?"
Every time Ulanara came to Yonghe Palace, she had to eat and drink, and she was mentally prepared. Fortunately, the Fourth Master was not close to this lady, and he would never ignore her because of her words.
Then she said, "Mother, that's not what I meant. It's just that I didn't have time to ask this morning..."
"That's not what you mean? What do you mean? Do you think I have to sleep in your room every day?" Concubine De cast a cold gaze on Ulanara: "This palace sees that you are so careless. You don't take the fourth brother, nor do you take me, seriously at all."
Ulanara immediately knelt down and said: "Mother, your daughter-in-law really..."
"How dare you quibble!" De Fei interrupted Ulanara: "You even dare to refute what I said, you are really rebellious!"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Ulanara lowered her head in frustration and didn't dare to defend herself.
De Fei stared at her blankly, then suddenly turned to look at Wen Jiu: "Wen girl, have you been wronged in the mansion recently? Has anyone given you any hardship?"
When Ulanara heard this, her heart trembled. What did her mother-in-law mean? Was she going to support that little bitch Wen Jiu?
A few days ago, she and the Fourteenth Master had a disagreement over Wen Jiu. Even if Concubine De hadn't been there for Wen Jiu, she would have been venting her anger on the Fourteenth Master. This time, it was unlikely to end amicably. Seeing Concubine De's cold gaze, Ulanara couldn't help but feel nervous.
Wenjiu subconsciously looked at Concubine De, but saw that the heart on Concubine De's head had no color.
Empress Defei, could it be that you said that because you love her?
After careful consideration, Wen Jiu smiled and approached De Fei, saying softly, "Your Majesty, who would make things difficult for Jiu Er? The Fourth Master and his wife treat Jiu Er very well. Even if things don't work out, I still have you, Your Majesty, to back me up. Even His Majesty said that Jiu Er is living a comfortable life."
His Majesty did say that, but he was talking about her having a good meal and a comfortable life. Wen Jiu felt that this was not a lie.
Ulanara looked at Wenjiu in bewilderment. Such a good opportunity, and she didn't even take advantage of it to kick him when he was down? Did Wenjiu take the wrong medicine?
"Oh," De Fei looked over and then smiled: "You, you are good at making me happy."
Wenjiu subconsciously looked at the heart on Defei's head, and saw that the heart on Defei's head was slightly pink. Wenjiu felt a little relieved. He thought Defei didn't like Ulanara and would be angry if he said that. He didn't expect that Defei actually had some good feelings towards him, which was not bad.
However, she still didn't understand whether Concubine De was favored because she was good at flattering her, or because of the Emperor's appreciation, or for some other reason?
"Jiu'er, help me put on my makeup." Defei suddenly said, then turned to look at Ulanara: "Go out and kneel down. Think carefully about what you should do as the legitimate wife."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Wen beside her was shocked: "Your Majesty, there are many people here today, so..."
"Shut up," De Fei scolded. "Whoever tries to persuade me will kneel down with you."
Aunt Wen didn't dare say anything more. There were so many people outside today. After all, she was the Fourth Master's legitimate wife. How could the Empress be so disrespectful to her? This... was really not right. Aunt Wen was puzzled.
Wen Jiu looked at Ulanara's unfriendly expression, then looked at Defei, frowned slightly, and then smiled the next second: "Your Majesty, Fu Jin is really ignorant. In my opinion, she should be severely punished. Kneeling like this is really your mercy."
"Hmm?" Concubine De paused and turned back to look at Wen Jiu calmly: "Girl Wen, tell me how I want to punish her."
When Ulanara heard this, her eyes like sharp blades shot towards Wenjiu. This little bitch, she thought she had changed her personality, but it turned out that she was waiting for her here!
Defei noticed Ulanara's expression, but her eyes were still fixed on Wenjiu, waiting for him to speak.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "In my opinion, why not punish Concubine Fu Jin to copy the Women's Virtues and Precepts in the side hall? Your Majesty, when you punish people, you must make them convinced. I think if Concubine Fu Jin copies more, she will understand your good intentions."
After hearing this, Concubine De raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you think this is more serious?"
Wen Jiu nodded: "Of course it is. There are more things to consider when copying scriptures, so it can naturally better train one's will."
Wen Jiu didn't like Ulanara, but she didn't want her to lose face. She was the Fourth Master's wife, so her loss was no different from the Fourth Master's.
Furthermore, it's difficult for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to get along, and nowadays, it's even more difficult for women to survive in the world. Why bother making things difficult for each other?
She was competing with the Ulanara family for men, but that was a matter of personal ability, not using any dirty tricks. She was a warm wine, someone who had been educated by nine years of compulsory education. Even if she was a little lazy and decadent, she couldn't look down on herself.
De Fei looked at the warm wine for a while, then smiled: "In that case, let's do as Jiu'er says."
Ulanara glanced at Wen Jiu with a sullen expression, then said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law will go to the side hall now."
Wen Jiu, that bitch, thought she had some skills, but in the end, she was just copying the Women's Virtues and Women's Precepts. If she had to choose between kneeling outside or copying books, she would naturally choose the latter.
Only a servant like Wen Jiu, who came from a family of bondsers, would find copying books more difficult than being punished by kneeling. Ulanara breathed a sigh of relief, at least she wouldn't be laughed at by others outside.
After hearing what was said, De Fei just waved her hand, not even looking at Ulanara, but instead fixed her eyes on Wen Jiu. Seeing her smile, De Fei couldn't help but praise her: "You are a good child."
To be honest, she really didn't like this daughter-in-law.
When she first chose a wife for the fourth son, she preferred the girl from the Guaerjia clan, who was loyal to the fourth son and came from a prestigious family. But who knew that the girl from the Guaerjia clan was also a disappointment.
Later, she felt that Dong E was not bad either. However, something went wrong on the day of the selection, and in the end, the title of the Fourth Lady was put on her, Ulanara.
Just marry her. Concubine De treated her sincerely at first, but who knew that she looked down on her as a mother-in-law.
The day after the wedding, she was taken to the old ancestor's place. Concubine De kindly advised her, but she responded indifferently. Then she turned around and ran to Concubine Yi to be attentive. Was she disgusted with her own poor background and thought Concubine Yi was better? She didn't even ask whether Concubine Yi would look upon her as her daughter-in-law!
She was angry, but even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't really make things difficult for him. Today, she was just testing the water to warm the wine.
