Su didn't understand. In her opinion, marrying a wife who would have difficulty having children was a big deal.
Mu Peiyuan patiently explained:
"For a minister, thunder, lightning, rain, and dew are all grace from the emperor. Can we tell others that the emperor made a mistake in granting the marriage?"
"Not only that, we also have to save face and make the emperor think he is right."
"You have to prepare a more lavish return gift for the Lin family tomorrow."
Mrs. Su always listens to her son. She can't divorce her daughter-in-law. As a mother-in-law, can't she make things difficult for her?
But even if we vent our anger in this way, the Mu family’s incense cannot be cut off.
"Forget about her inability to give birth to a son. Today, in order to get Lin Shushu to tell the truth, I have already promised to give her the status of a concubine. You should spend more nights with Lin Shushu in the future and give birth to a son as soon as possible."
Mu Peiyuan was unhappy and gave another woman to himself. Would that person still care about him?
"Mother, didn't I tell you that I have a sweetheart, but I can't be with her in this life, so don't expect to have children. Just treat Ji Yong and Ji Shan as your grandsons and granddaughters."
Seeing that her son was angry, Su didn't dare to say anything more, but she had her own plans in mind.
Ji Yong and Ji Shan don't have the surname Mu, so how can they be the roots of the Mu family? Even if she dotes on her two grandsons, she has something in mind.
Now that his son's wife and concubine are already in the house, he should drug them and put the blame on these two women if anything goes wrong.
She said with great embarrassment: "Mother can listen to you, but Lin Shushu is a formal concubine after all, and she definitely cannot be a maid.
Even if I don't mention her as a concubine, Lin Danruo will mention it in the future. I promised Lin Shushu about having a concubine Shu, and I also gave the order. Mother can't just gossip about it herself. "
Mu Peiyuan knew that it was not easy for his mother to accept that he would never have children, so he naturally would not blame the old lady.
"It's okay, she's just a concubine, just keep her."
But in her heart, she held this account against Danruo. If she hadn't insisted on marrying off her half-sister, how could she have arranged for her half-sister to be a concubine?
It's obvious that she's not friendly towards her concubine sister, and I'm afraid she often bullies her.
The return gift that Su had originally prepared was very simple.
After Mu Peiyuan left, she started to prepare again, cursing as she went along, never stopping.
And spiritual power gradually surrounded her.
When Su woke up early the next day, he found that his head was dizzy and his whole body was sore and weak as if he had been beaten. He wanted to open his mouth to call for help, but his throat felt like he had swallowed a razor blade.
Thinking of Danruo's sickly look yesterday, Su felt that she must have passed her illness on to herself. She was really a jinx. Nothing good had happened since she came into the family.
Danruo sneezed and thought that Su must have found out that she was sick and was cursing herself in her heart. So she asked the Crow brothers to help send some more gifts to Su.
Su got up with difficulty, left the house, and prepared to ask the maid to call a palace doctor for her.
At this moment, a crow circled above her. She was about to drive it away when a large piece of bird droppings fell precisely on her shoulder. She screamed.
It’s not that she can’t stand the dirt, as working in the fields was much dirtier before. She just thinks crows are unlucky.
Even a sore throat couldn't stop her from cursing: "What bad luck has come to my house so early in the morning."
The housekeeper happened to come and report: "Old Madam, the eunuch in charge of the Queen's palace has arrived and is waiting in the main hall."
Seeing the housekeeper's strange expression, Su Shi explained, even though she was furious:
"I'm not saying that the Queen is unlucky. It's that I encountered something unlucky this morning."
The butler turned his head respectfully, and he would convey every word to Mu Peiyuan anyway.
Su hurried back to the house to change clothes. This time when she went out, several crows followed her and the servants couldn't drive them away.
Halfway through the journey, Su's clothes were already stained with large patches, but it was too late to go back and change. She had to put on a smile with a sullen face to entertain the people in the Queen's palace.
Danruo, supported by Jinchuan and Yuchuan, walked weakly to the main hall, looking so frail that he looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
When Eunuch Wang saw that everyone was gathered, he gave the Queen's reward to Danruo, and specially conveyed the Queen's concern. Seeing that she was ill, he also exempted her from kneeling to express her gratitude.
The old lady's eyes were wide open. How could the Queen value this bitch so much?
Mu Peiyuan took Eunuch Wang to the study to drink tea. The old lady was stinking, so she hurried back to her yard to change clothes. Before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Dan Ruo.
Danruo covered his mouth to hide his smile, and later he would thank the Crow brothers.
Dan Ruo returned to her own courtyard. Half an hour later, Mu Peiyuan sent someone to deliver a message.
What I mean is that since Danruo is not feeling well today, I will not go back to her parents' home for now. I will go back another day when Danruo is better.
Dan Ruo smiled knowingly. The Queen had come to give rewards, so how could Mu Peiyuan be nice to the original owner?
She asked Yuchuan to go out and buy some cakes for her, and took this opportunity to go back to the Lin family to report to her mother that she was safe, saying that she had caught a cold and everything was fine.
As for the old lady, after changing her clothes, she still felt that she had a smell on her body. She took a shower over and over again, and she caught a cold and got a fever.
Coupled with Dan Ruo's little tricks, the two combined made the disease come on very violently this time.
As a daughter, Mu Peilan takes care of her day and night, so the mother and daughter have no time to make things difficult for Danruo.
Lin Shushu was promoted to concubine and moved out of Danruo's yard. Taking advantage of Danruo's recuperation, she waited for Mu Peiyuan every day, met him by chance, and even brought tonic soup to his study.
