As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Su, she immediately bowed to her.
Her husband was Wang Taifu. In the entire imperial city, apart from the royal family, only the Zhenguo Mansion could be compared with their Wang family. Wang Taifu's first wife, the Queen Mother, and Old Lady Su had always been sisters, and they had a deep relationship. Lady Wang was the second wife, and she was afraid of Old Lady Su from the bottom of her heart. She always knelt down and called her the Queen Mother when they met, strictly abided by the rules, and did not dare to overstep the mark. As for Old Lady Su, they all sweetly called her Sister Su and respected her very much.
Wang Changlin also hurried forward to greet Old Madam Su.
[Taifu Wang is indeed the most educated scholar in the world. His children are well educated. It seems that the rules are very strict.]
Su Mibao thought to himself that these people in Master Wang's family, whether it was Madam Wang, Wang Changlin or Aunt Sun, all seemed to be extremely rule-abiding people.
"No need to be polite, I just came to see how the child is and whether I can help."
Old Madam Su took a step forward holding Su Mibao.
Mrs. Wang said to her son with a hint of reproach,
"Changlin, you are really confused. Since Jing'er is not feeling well, why don't you go to the car and tell her?"
Mrs. Wang looked anxious. She married into the Taifu Mansion and only had two children, Changlin and Yanyu. The first wife had only daughters but no sons. In the entire Taifu Mansion, only her son Wang Changlin had two boys. The eldest son, Wang Mengqi, was born of a legitimate wife, and the second son, Wang Mengjing, was born of a concubine. But the Wang family had too few male descendants, not to mention two grandchildren. Taifu Wang liked Wang Mengjing more. Because Wang Mengjing's mind-reading ability was far superior to that of ordinary people. Taifu Wang often said to her, what a pity, it's not a legitimate grandson.
"Mother, you are confused. The carriage was assigned to me by the Emperor. Grandmother, you and father went to ride in it, and that was my filial duty. Even if the Emperor knew about it, he couldn't blame our Wang family. But Jing'er is just a bastard, how could he ride in the carriage given by the Emperor? Not to mention him, even I can't ride in it."
Before Wang Changlin was exiled, he was the chief of the Taichang Temple, in charge of ancestral temple sacrifices and official etiquette.
[Carriage? The carriage of the Wang family was actually assigned to Wang Yanyu by the emperor? Why? ]
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Su Mibao couldn't help but raise his little head and look at the Wang family's carriage not far away.
The carriage was pulled by two horses and had a spacious compartment. It was only an ordinary carriage in the imperial city, but it was definitely the most luxurious one in the exile team. In comparison, it immediately surpassed their family's small donkey cart.
Su Mibao was a little confused. This part did not exist in the original book, because in the original book, Wang Yanyu was named Concubine Wang and stayed in the palace.
The dog emperor had clearly agreed to the Crown Princess's request and used the tiger talisman to exchange for Wang Yanyu's freedom. As a result, he favored Wang Yanyu that night and named her Concubine Wang.
The next morning, however, she was given a sterilizing drug, demoted to an abandoned concubine, and exiled from the palace with the royal family.
To put it bluntly, all the dog emperor's tricks are just to play with Wang Taifu. He is telling Wang Taifu without any concealment, I will make you uncomfortable and unable to speak out your suffering, what can you do?
"I don't care about etiquette or not, I just know that I can't watch my grandson die of exhaustion or illness."
Mrs. Wang stepped forward and picked up Wang Mengjing, glaring at Aunt Sun with disdain.
"When something happens, you just cry. You are useless."
After saying this, he looked at his son anxiously.
"Changlin, go and ask Zhou Fuan to ask him to find someone to take a look at Jing'er."
Su Mibao saw Wang Mengjing being held by Mrs. Wang. His little face was red, his forehead was sweating, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were closed, his limbs were twitching, and he was foaming at the mouth. It looked like he was about to die.
Su Mibao's pupils trembled violently.
I hate him. When he grows up, shouldn't such a well-educated and well-mannered person be a handsome young man? How could he be an epileptic? [Grandma, please have someone stuff noodles into his mouth. He is having an epileptic seizure. Don't let him bite his tongue when he is unconscious.]
Su Mibao was a little puzzled.
Didn't Wang Mengjing become a Beijing official when he grew up? It was impossible for a sick and injured person to take the imperial examination.
Could it be that in the original book, it was Taifu Wang who later found someone to use the back door for Zi Mengjing?
"Has this child ever had this disease before?"
After all, Mrs. Su was born in the countryside. She had seen epileptic patients in the village before. After hearing what her granddaughter said, she also realized that the child was suffering from epilepsy. People with this disease have always been looked down upon in the village. So, she couldn't say it out loud.
"No, Jing'er has always been in good health. She also studied well in school. But these past two days, our home was searched and we were imprisoned. The adults suffered and the children were frightened. And we walked such a long way. How could a little child with such tender feet bear it?"
Mrs. Wang shed tears. She was the child's grandmother and a person who favored sons over daughters. So she not only loved her legitimate grandson, but also loved this illegitimate grandson much more than her legitimate granddaughter.
"Look, this child is twitching and unconscious. I'm afraid he might have bitten his tongue."
Old Madam Su believed in her granddaughter completely. She thought there must be a reason why her granddaughter asked her to remind the Wang family to stuff a cloth strip into the child's mouth.
"Put something soft in his mouth, don't let him bite his tongue."
At this time, the Queen Mother came over, supported by the Crown Princess Wang Yi. (Wang Zhaorong had changed her name to Wang Yi. Except for Wang Taifu and Wang Yanyu, the Wang family didn't know she was the Crown Princess.) "Sanniang, you are here too? How are you? Things have happened. There is no one old or young on the road to the underworld. Life and death are not decided by people. If you feel uncomfortable, you should cry. After crying, lead the children forward. As long as the children are here, the days will be long."
Mr. Wang's mother is ninety years old, but she is still in good health, with no deafness or blurry eyesight.
Back then, the late emperor, Taifu Wang, and the old Duke Zhenguo became sworn brothers, and the Queen Mother always treated them as her own sons.
Old Madam Su has been acting arrogantly since her family was raided. After all, she is the head of the family, the elder, and the hope of her children.
If she collapses, who can the children rely on?
But in front of the Queen Mother, she suddenly felt like a child too, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Well, I'll listen to my stepmother."
[Wow, my grandma's name is Sanniang! Let me think about it, well, my grandma's maiden name seems to be Bu, so from this perspective, my grandma should be Bu Sanniang. ]
Su Mibao suddenly remembered that the original book had written about his grandmother's family. Although the author did not spend much time on it, he still explained it very clearly in just a few words.
Grandma Bu Sanniang's father was a famous butcher in the local area. She had two older brothers, Bu Da and Bu Er, so grandma was called Bu Sanniang. The whole family doted on grandma. Since she was young, grandma did not embroider at home like other girls, but followed her father to sell pork on the street. She was better than her father at using a boning knife.
