If the baby in this cousin's belly is related to the future sixth brother-in-law, then after they get married , will they have to take this cousin as a concubine? At that time, the eighth girl of their Wei Mansion will be plotted to marry the brother of a concubine in the backyard of her brother-in-law? Who is disgusted by this? Not only Wei Hanshuang and Wei Hanyu are disgusted, but also the entire Wei family! What Wei Hanzhang could think of, the wives of the Wei family who have been immersed in the inner house for many years have already thought through, and their eyes looking at the cousin suddenly became cold.
Qian even asked Shen Li Niang directly, "I wonder why Miss Shen San is making things so difficult for my daughter from the Wei family today?"
Although Shen Liniang was young, she knew that she had made a big mistake. She avoided the other person's gaze and refused to say a word.
Wei Hanye patted his younger sister's hand, walked a few steps to Shen Li Niang, and sneered, "Someone just told me in private that they saw you push our daughter Yu into the water. I would like to ask what kind of hatred you have that would make you disregard the reputation of a woman?"
"Maybe there are too many people who are mistaken."
Even though the wife of the prince of Yongle Mansion hated her sister-in-law, she couldn't bear to see her being questioned like this, so she quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Li Niang is a little arrogant, but on the surface..."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Hanye interrupted him with a cold face: "Stop talking about trivial matters. Let me first ask you which of your family's children is in your cousin's belly."
After all, she is a married woman, so she speaks very frankly.
The prince's wife blushed and remained stiff for a while, then she heard the voice of her sister-in-law.
"Of course it belongs to my second brother,"
Shen Li Niang, who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, could not stand the repeated questioning from outsiders. She shouted, "Sister Yi and my second brother have been childhood sweethearts and have promised to spend their lives together. They are a real couple. You are an outsider!"
A little girl of about eleven or twelve pointed at Wei Hanshuang and shouted, "You are the outsider."
The scene was in complete uproar.
The wife of the prince of Yongle's mansion felt a black screen before her eyes and she almost fainted.
…………
forecourt.
Today's birthday boy was chatting with some old friends. At the age of 40, Yongle Hou Shen Xing had taken good care of himself and looked very strong. As he was drinking and chatting, a servant came trotting in from outside the door and whispered something in his ear. His face immediately changed color.
His eyes were like knives, slashing at the two sons sitting below him.
Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Wei Ping and his crown prince Wei Huan were both confused. Crown prince Wei Huan was even more puzzled as to what had happened and why his future in-laws were glaring at his son-in-law like that.
After a while, the servant of the Wei family also hurried in from outside the door and whispered something to the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
What happened in the backyard was quickly passed on by the ladies and was soon known to the several dukes and lords present.
No one would reveal what they were thinking in their hearts. They were all discerning people. Seeing that Lord Shen at the seat had a stiff face and could not keep his smile, they could not help but understand the situation, bowed and found an excuse to leave.
The loyal and brave Marquis Weiping's face turned pale and he said goodbye with his sons.
The Shouxinggong Yonglehou personally escorted his eldest son to the door and said, "Brother Wei, rest assured. I will give your family an explanation for what happened today."
…………
By the time the father and son had seen off the guests and returned to the inner courtyard, the wife of Marquis Yongle had already found out the whole story.
There was not even the last glimmer of hope. It turned out that her niece who was living at home was pregnant with her second son's child. Her youngest daughter knew about it but helped to keep it secret. Today, she even plotted to frame the girl from the Wei family.
Yongle Hou listened carefully, his face turned pale, and he threw the teacup in his hand at Shen Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "Asshole! How could you do such a thing that is disgraceful to our family!"
Everyone in the capital knows that the cousin living in their house is the blood of the marquis's younger sister who married far away in Lingnan. Their mother died early, and before her death, she asked her brother to take care of her two children.
As a result, she ended up getting pregnant in her son's bed, and it was still an unmarried pregnancy with no official status.
This is my niece. Even if her father's family is in decline, she can at least be a concubine. But what is going on now?
The wife of Yongle Hou turned pale. Her eldest daughter-in-law was patting her on the back to calm her down. She pointed a trembling finger at her youngest daughter and said, "Do you know how wrong you were today?"
Originally, they had discussed it quietly behind closed doors. They planned to abort the fetus first, and then take their niece as their concubine after the daughter of the Wei family got married. Although this would attract some criticism, it would not be a big deal. To her second son, it was just a romantic affair.
Now, the Wei Mansion has an eighth girl coming in for no reason. Even if she is the daughter of a bastard, her surname is Wei. As long as she is a girl from the Wei Mansion, how can she marry the brother of her brother-in-law or a concubine's family?
It was such an obvious plot.
Anyone would be disgusted if they were in this situation.
This is a great marriage, the three letters and six ceremonies have all gone smoothly, and the wedding date has been set. Now if something goes wrong, it will not be a marriage, but an enmity! Yongle Hou has no time to discipline his little daughter, the most important thing now is to resolve the matter.
With a cold face, he looked at the prince: "Chen'er, do you think there is still room for maneuver in this matter?"
The Shen and Wei families have a good personal relationship. If they really become enemies because of their children, it would mean that they don't have enough enemies in the court.
The title of a noble marquis is just a nice title on paper, but in reality they seldom hold any power. Most of the dukes and marquises in the capital merely hold sinecure positions and receive honors from the court.
After the crown prince came to power, he liked to recruit new people. Although he did not deliberately suppress these complicated families, he did not look at them differently. They were far away from the center of power, so how could he easily make enemies? …………
Wei Hanzhang was on the carriage returning home at this time. After Shen Liniang's shout, the ladies of the Wei family immediately changed color and could not even display the most basic social etiquette. It was a great accomplishment that they did not slap her in the face on the spot.
The Marquis's wife Liu ignored the other party's attempts to keep her, covered her chest with her hands and angrily called him a bastard, then left with her daughters-in-law.
There were four people in the carriage when they came, but now only Wei Hanzhang was left.
The wronged Wei Hanshuang was taken to the front carriage by Liu. The biggest victim, Wei Hanyu, was taken back by her mother earlier, and Wei Hansu also followed her back.
Wei Hanzhang had seen many open and secret struggles in the harem in Xuzhou, but this was the first time he had seen a fool like Shen Liniang. What on earth did that fool want?
She had been back in Beijing for more than a month and had a very good relationship with Wei Hanshuang. Seeing that her marriage had encountered such twists and turns, she felt really distressed and worried.
The anger in my heart took a long time to subside. Just as I was pouring a cup of tea to relieve my impatience, I heard a noise outside the carriage.
——Someone jumped off the building?
Wei Hanzhang lifted the gauze curtain of the carriage and saw a group of people gathered not far away. Bright red blood was flowing through the gaps in the crowd, and a woman in light gauze clothes could be vaguely seen lying inside.
