Chapter 698 I personally went to Changle Hou Mansion
"Pei Lan, why haven't I heard you mention this relative before?" Shen Qingyun had a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The Yan Mansion has a family rule that, except for a few gentlemen serving in the court, the ladies and maids in the mansion are not allowed to have private contact with the wives of those officials.
Not to mention, we can become in-laws.
The reason why Lu Peilan was able to marry into the Yan family and become the first lady of the third branch was all because of her clean family background. Her ancestors for three generations were all honest businessmen.
Old Master Yan had a long-term vision. Long before he left the court, he had already made preparations to remove his entire family.
He is a man of his word and no one can change his decision.
Although Shen Qingyun felt that the person who actually called the shots in the family was her mother-in-law, not her father-in-law, since she got married.
But the old couple were united in their opposition, and even she, their own daughter-in-law, had never figured this out after all these years.
However, it is an indisputable fact that her father-in-law loves his wife.
Not to mention the surrounding streets, even in Beijing, many people always say that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman when they mention the old man's past reputation.
With him as an example, the younger generations also followed suit and found different ways to be nice to their wives.
She, the sister-in-law, has been married for so many years and has never had a quarrel with her brother-in-law. The two of them live a very sweet life.
Look, in less than two months, the third baby in my belly will be born.
Lu Peilan knew that Shen Qingyun was angry at first sight, and smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me. A family like ours is so small, how can we get close to relatives with such a high pedestal as the Changle Marquis Mansion?"
She glanced at Yan Qing before continuing, "Sister-in-law and sister should still remember that I have a younger sister-in-law."
Shen Qingyun tapped his chin lightly and said nothing.
Yan Qing followed her words and said, "I remember this, but didn't that aunt marry far away early? She shouldn't be in the capital now."
Lu Peilan said hurriedly: "Sister, if you remember correctly, my aunt did marry far away.
She was originally married to a small merchant, but somehow, her younger sister met the Marquis of Changle by chance and became his concubine."
Shen Qingyun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "This relationship is quite far-reaching."
Lü Peilan's face was filled with embarrassment as she explained, "My uncle is also a man of integrity. He never wanted his sister to be a concubine."
She paused before continuing, "It's not a glorious thing to talk about. Ever since she left, my aunt and uncle have been telling everyone that she died of an acute illness.
They even prepared a cenotaph for her, and they would pay homage to her on certain days every year, as if she were really dead.
Who would have thought that she would come back a few days ago, and upon entering the house, she knelt down in front of her uncle and aunt, saying that if they didn't deliver the letter to her, she would hang herself at the door."
When Lu Peilan talked about this, she felt really ashamed and couldn't help but cover her face and said, "I really have no choice but to deal with such a relative.
When I was young, my parents were busy with business, and it was my aunt who raised me. Now she has come to us for help, and I..."
By the end of her words, she was already sobbing.
If she had no other choice, she would not have been so embarrassed as to run to her sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law, whom she had always respected, to say these things.
How could she face them in the future?
When her father-in-law and mother-in-law come back and ask about this, how should she begin?
The more Lu Peilan thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears streamed down her face. She supported herself with her waist and struggled to stand up, about to walk out.
Shen Qingyun said with a sullen face: “Stop!”
Yan Qing hurriedly stood up and supported her, sighing softly, "Look at your impatience. You just left without even thinking about the baby in your belly.
If it gets bumped or bruised, won't you be heartbroken? "
Hearing her words, Lu Peilan felt even more uncomfortable and sobbed, "Big sister, I really don't have the face to see you."
They were so kind to her and treated her like a real sister, but she came here to make things difficult for them because of this matter.
In any case, she shouldn't be like this.
Shen Qingyun glanced at her and said coldly: "Hold back your tears!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing looked disapproving.
Perrin is several years younger than them and is still pregnant. Is there anything that cannot be said in a nice way?
I have never seen my sister-in-law be so strict with anyone on weekdays.
She was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of Lu Peilan wiping her tears obediently.
Although her expression looked a little aggrieved, at least her tears had stopped.
If she continues crying like this, something bad will definitely happen.
Lu Peilan wiped her tears, glanced secretly at Shen Qingyun, then looked at Yan Qing's expression, and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
She slowly lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes again.
"Cry, cry, cry. If you give birth to a crybaby in the future, who are you going to ask to comfort you?"
"Sister-in-law, I..."
Before Lu Peilan could say anything, Shen Qingyun asked directly: "How many children are there in your aunt's family? Are they all married?"
Lu Peilan was stunned by her question.
Although she didn't understand why she was asking this, she still answered truthfully, "My aunt has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is just twenty years old this year and got engaged just a year ago."
After hearing this, Yan Qing already had an idea in his mind.
The eldest child has just found someone to date, so I guess the other children haven’t decided yet.
No mother could bear to watch her "long dead" sister-in-law hang herself at her doorstep.
This kind of thing would be considered unlucky no matter which family it happened to.
The family they are engaged to will never agree to let their daughter marry into their family.
If the family background is not good enough, the marriages of the four children in the future will only be the lowest.
Changle Houfu made this move because they had calculated that as a mother, she would definitely lose face and marry into the family for the sake of her children.
As for the concubine in the Marquis's Mansion...
She was just a concubine, an object that could be sold like a slave, so naturally she had to do whatever her master asked her to do.
Shen Qingyun handed a handkerchief to Lu Peilan and frowned, saying, "Wipe your tears. What will it look like if the servants see you?"
Lu Peilan agreed obediently, and the next moment tears were about to fall again.
"Hold it back!" Shen Qingyun glared and said angrily: "Where is the momentum you had when you stood up and left just now? Take it out again and let your sister-in-law take a good look at it."
Seeing that Lu Peilan's eyes were red, she said angrily, "You are such a softie. When Erlang and Sanlang get married in the future, won't their daughter-in-law eat you up?"
Afraid that she would say something else and make Lu Peilan cry, Yan Qing hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. Peilan didn't mean it. Don't you know her personality?"
Shen Qingyun glared at her and said unhappily: "Just spoil her. Sooner or later, someone will ride on her head and poop and pee."
Hearing this, Lu Peilan said as if it was a matter of course: "With my sister-in-law here, no one dares to bully me."
In the entire Yan Mansion, the eldest sister-in-law's words have always been the most effective, even her father-in-law and mother-in-law listen to her.
She realized it as soon as she entered the door that in this family, as long as she and her sister-in-law were of the same mind, no one would dare to bully her.
Even the child's father, who seems to be the head of the family in the outside world, has to look at the eldest sister-in-law's mood after entering this door.
With such a good sister-in-law around, what does she need to worry about?
Shen Qingyun was almost irritated to death by her words. She picked up the cold tea beside her and took two gulps, saying, "Girl Zhi, prepare the backup gift. I will go to the Changle Marquis Mansion in person."
