Chapter 287 The Risk of Getting Married is Too Great

After Xu Muhua returned to the mansion, her mother called her over to ask about Madam Pei’s situation. Xu Muhua told the truth and also told about Aunt Zhao.

After hearing this, Xu’s mother frowned in disgust: “Old Madam Pei and Lord Pei are getting more and more confused! Aunt Zhao was previously reprimanded by the Empress and was demoted to a lowly concubine. Now she dares to ride on the head of the mistress and act wild!”

After saying this, she thought of what happened in the court and sighed silently in her heart.

Aunt Zhao was so rampant not only because Old Madam Pei protected her, but more importantly, Lord Pei also doted on her. It was like she had lost her mind. She didn’t care about the reputation of the Pei Mansion at all and had to protect a concubine.

If he liked her so much, why did he marry Madam Pei in the first place? Madam Pei is so innocent!

And the reason why Lord Pei is so fearless is of course not because of Master Pei, but because of the one sitting on the dragon chair in the palace!

Master Pei is old and it is hard to say when he will retire. Master Pei has many students. Even if he retires in the future, as long as the Pei Mansion is still there, this network of relationships will still be there. Not to mention that there is also Lord Pei in the court, and his current official position is not low.

The emperor thinks he is also a useful talent and thinks highly of him. It is impossible for the emperor not to know about the things in his backyard, but he has never reprimanded or blamed him for anything. It can be seen that in the emperor's heart, this matter is nothing at all.

Isn't Madam Pei still alive and well as the mistress of the Pei Mansion? That's enough!

It was like in the palace, no matter how much trouble the favored concubine made, no matter how arrogant she was, as long as the Central Palace remained unchanged, the matter was not worth mentioning, and there was no need to discuss it openly.

He valued the ability of officials to do their jobs, and as for the officials' backyards, as long as they did not make too much trouble, he would pretend that he knew nothing.

Lord Pei was also well aware of this, so he still favored and used her after the Queen sent someone to reprimand Aunt Zhao.

So, in the backyard, it is very important to gain the favor of a man!

If there was no Master Pei to suppress her, Madam Pei would probably be a lady in name only. Her two children might also live worse than some illegitimate children in the mansion.

"Mrs. Pei's temper is too good."

Mother Xu sighed.

It sounds good to say this. In private, many noble ladies secretly laughed at Madam Pei, saying that she was too cowardly and useless. As the principal wife, with the support of Master Pei, she was pinned to the ground by a concubine. It was simply a disgrace to the legitimate wife in the capital.

Mother Xu felt that if General Xu dared to favor his concubine over his wife, she would tear down the Chengguo Mansion and chop him up with a knife!

Xu Muhua also nodded, "I also think that Arong's mother is too kind."

"If you have the chance, educate Arong. As for the adults' affairs, don't worry about it. But you also saw what happened in the Pei Mansion. You should learn from it, understand?"

Xu Muhua was puzzled. "Learn from it?"

What does it mean?

Mother Xu poked her forehead unhappily and said, "You are almost of age, and it is time to talk about marriage! When you get married in the future, if there is a concubine like Aunt Zhao in the backyard, you can't be soft-hearted, you have to stand up. Otherwise, even if your father and elder brother support you, it will be useless!"

Xu Muhua almost blurted out who is going to get married!

Once she said it, she would be doomed, she would definitely be nagged to death!

Swallowing back the words that were about to burst out of her mouth, Xu Muhua forced out a fake smile, just like the fake smile of the fake-smiling boy, "Mom, why do you say such an unlucky thing! Shouldn't you hope that I marry a man who is devoted to me and dotes on me, just like dad?"

Xu's mother curled her lips, "Your dad is at the border, not in the capital, otherwise it's hard to say that he would take a few concubines in the backyard! It's just that the border is far away and mom can't go there. Maybe your dad already has a small family there!"

Xu Muhua:

Mom, is this all your trust in dad?

"Mom, since you doubt dad so much, why don't I find a time and opportunity to accompany you to the border for a surprise attack to see if dad has a small family there?"

she asked tentatively.

Xu's mother glared at her, "What are you talking about! Is your father such a person?"

Xu Muhua: Women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea!

She was the one who said that she suspected that her father had a little family at the border, why are you blaming her?

Xu Muhua felt that maybe this was the love between an old couple that others could not understand?

The look in her daughter's eyes was too obvious, and Xu's mother felt a little embarrassed, "Hehe, mother was just talking casually, don't take it seriously!"

After that, she quickly changed the subject and said seriously: "Of course, your parents will try their best to find a good marriage for you, but no one can guarantee that this man will not change in his life. Instead of putting your hopes on others, it is better to hold them firmly in your own hands!"

Once people can't control their desires, they are prone to make mistakes! This is especially true for men! How many men are not lustful?

Xu Muhua nodded in agreement, "Mom, I understand."

She is not a non-marriageist, but she thinks that good men are hard to come by and the chance of meeting one is too low. Especially in ancient times, men like Lord Pei were common. Instead of marrying such a man, it is better to be free and happy! In

ancient times, it was different from modern times, where people could get divorced. There is no need to take such a risk.

Even if she reaches the age of 15, her parents will definitely arrange a marriage for her. She can delay it for a while, but not for a lifetime! She still has to think of a solution quickly!

Xu's mother had no idea what was going on in her heart. Seeing that she seemed to have really listened to her words, she was relieved.

When Xu Muhua returned to her yard, Shi Liu reported to her husband what happened today.

As a trusted maid, Shi Liu of course also knew about this. When she first found out, her reaction was exactly the same as the three brothers of the Feng family! She was shocked and worried, thinking that her young lady was getting bolder and bolder, and dared to interfere in everything!

"Has no one over there noticed that the prince consort is missing?"

Xu Muhua asked.

After rescuing the prince consort, Xu Muhua asked the newcomer to keep an eye on him - oh, the newcomer has now moved to the capital and settled down! He has adapted well! After all, with two natives, Daban and Xiaoban, leading him, he is not worried about not being able to integrate into this environment.

Daban and Xiaoban even took him for a stroll into the palace. If the newcomer hadn't felt that the palace was too dangerous, he could have moved in!

Xu Muhua was too lazy to come up with this name, so she just called it that! Anyway, she was quite satisfied with it.

"Hey, no one has been in there so far!"

You can imagine how much the prince consort had suffered there before.

Xu Muhua clicked his tongue, "Okay, the later they find out, the better for us. Don't let your greed ruin the business at this time! Otherwise, you will have nothing to eat in the future!"

The newcomer was not convinced and jumped up and down: "You look down on me too much. Can you mess up my work? Impossible! Just rest assured, I will keep a close eye on you!"
