Chapter 370 They are all in the officialdom
She couldn't do anything to Lei Nian'er, but the preaching like chanting a scripture could give her a headache.
Little Brother Lei watched the two women whom he could not afford to offend start arguing, and silently shrank into the corner, hoping that the fight between the gods would not affect him, a weak, pitiful and helpless but vulnerable fish.
"You don't have a husband and children now, what will you do when you are old?"
If someone else said this to her, Lei Nian'er would have chased him out directly, but for the sake of her mother, she had to patiently talk to her.
"What are the chances that my husband and children will achieve more than me? There are more than a dozen children in the Lei family, and in the end, I am the only one who has the hope of inheriting my father's legacy."
"Luo'er can't even stand steadily on a plum blossom pole. He always falls over when he does a somersault. He must be weak and frail."
"Even his father gave up and just hoped that he would grow up healthy."
Little Brother Lei, who was curled up in the corner, had a wandering gaze. He knew that he would definitely be affected.
Fortunately, Lei Nian'er was just giving an example and did not catch her brother to ridicule her. Instead, she analyzed: "By then, my husband and children will all depend on me for support."
"I only feed myself. If I can feed the whole family, won't I be happier?"
Madam Gui asked anxiously, "You are like this, without even a close friend. Aren't you lonely in life?"
Lei Nian'er was even more disdainful.
"It's as if my father is such a caring and thoughtful person. His role is just to provide money for the family."
"Aren't the concubines at home the ones who usually play with you and say sweet words to you? If I want to find sweet people, I might as well skip looking for a husband and take two concubines directly."
Mrs. Gui was so shocked that her eyes widened. "You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lei Nian'er reached out and pulled out Lei Xiaodi, who was trying to lower his presence, and pushed him in front of Madam Gui.
"In terms of intimacy, Luo'er, this rascal who teases cats and dogs, is much better than my father."
Lei thought he was being praised at first, and nodded proudly. After nodding twice, he realized something was wrong, and protested, "I'm not a jerk who teases cats and dogs!"
But his protest was obviously futile, no one paid any attention to him, and Lei could only squat aside and shut himself in.
Mrs. Gui found a breakthrough and advised: "It's okay if you don't want a husband, just have a child. Children are so caring."
"Otherwise, will the family business you have worked so hard for be given away to outsiders?"
"You are good friends with the prince, but you don't see him making trouble for not getting married. Didn't you resist the prince when he wanted a child? Why are you so picky?"
Lei Nian'er paused and said, "He really has a throne to inherit, and my position is not hereditary."
"We have more than ten children in our family. Who wouldn't want money? Can't I just find a random child to adopt?"
Mrs. Gui frowned, "Can someone else's child be the same as your own? Will they be truly filial to you?"
Lei Nian'er waved her hands and took a sip of water.
It is so tiring to talk to elders. You have to take a break before continuing.
She put down the cup and said confidently: "As long as I am the leader of the Eastern Palace, people will rush to be filial to me.
"Besides, biological children are not necessarily reliable. I am just a child, and I don't know myself. With my condition, how can I give birth to a good child?"
Mrs. Gui: ...
She felt she was being scolded.
The two argued for a long time, but neither could convince the other. Mrs. Gui realized that her reasoning was not working, so she used her ultimate move: "You are always sharp-tongued and you only speak crooked logic."
Okay, okay, the reasons she can explain are the correct reasons, and the reasons the child can't refute are fallacies.
Lei Nian'er stepped back, gave up, and destroyed this world.
The mother couldn't be persuaded, and she chose to answer all instructions with "Oh, yes, yes, yes."
Lei Nian'er glanced at her brother who knew nothing about it. Poor boy, your sister can hide now, but that brat will be talked about for many years.
After comparing, I suddenly felt better.
While Lei Nian'er was waiting for dinner, a guest came to the Lei family.
Master Yun smiled and explained to Lei Nian'er, "Nian girl, your letter has been read by your grandfather. The letter doesn't explain it clearly, but Gui Chi said you were going home today, so I came to see you and talk to you in person."
"Your great-grandmother allowed someone from an aristocratic family into the inner courtyard, and your great-grandfather was really unaware of it. I have already told her that she just made a mistake and thought that person was her relative, so she let him in."
"She promised that she would be careful in the future and would not do it again."
Lei Nian'er responded with a polite smile, but her words were merciless: "Grandfather, we are both in the officialdom."
"Who would believe you? Are you treating me like your unmarried granddaughter who is ignorant of the world?"
"I'm not some delicate little lady. I have strength and means."
