Di Baose dragged it away again, what a disappointment.
Huan Yue looked up at 45 degrees and saw an elm tree.
Xie Zhou looked at her face; from this angle, from her chubby chin to her neck and down, it was absolutely beautiful.
I want to kiss you.
Xie Zhou restrained himself and asked coldly, "You really have feelings for her?"
Huan Yue felt that every villainous female supporting character had her own reasons, and perhaps she could be salvaged.
But sometimes it turns out that it was truly stupid.
Perhaps Zheng was even more vicious. She resented Empress Mingde and wanted to kill her young niece; this was truly depraved.
How could the Di family tolerate her? Huan Yue's imagination ran wild: "After Empress Mingde's death, could it be that Zheng wanted to become the empress consort? She approached the Di family hoping for their support, but the Di family misunderstood?" He dared to guess further, "Did her maternal aunt take a liking to her first? That's why Zheng hated her so much?"
Xie Zhou retorted angrily, "Nonsense! When will you get a brain function again?"
Huan Yue rubbed his head: "I was so angry with Di Baose that I lost my mind. How could she be so vicious?"
To be the only daughter of the Di family, perhaps more than just that.
If Zheng truly harbors hatred, she will likely target the Di family boys in the future.
It was all because Song Ziying had a daughter.
Moreover, Huan Yue wasn't just guessing.
When Empress Mingde passed away, Zheng was fifteen or sixteen years old, the age when she was ready to get married.
She was chosen by the Qiang family to be their daughter-in-law because she was good-looking and of good character. However, even the most astute person can make a mistake.
Given how much trouble Zheng and her daughter are causing now, it would be strange if Zheng hadn't had some ideas back then.
Di Baose was probably taught by Zheng Shi. Even though the Di family had a good environment, it couldn't stop Zheng Shi from causing trouble.
She was, after all, her birth mother, just as the Pei family was, after all, her maternal family—that's the situation.
Huan Yue's statement might be met with resistance today.
But with so many people watching him, it's fair to say that the Di family is suspected of being cuckolded and is at a disadvantage.
If Zheng had any sense of shame, she wouldn't care if she died; clearly, she has no shame.
Since Huan Yue has decided to confront Zheng Shi, there's no need to be polite anymore, since she only talks and doesn't take responsibility.
Huan Yue said, "Zheng's dream was shattered, and she probably had no choice in the matter. So she took the opportunity to marry into the Di family, hoping to have a son who would inherit the title of Duke of Yan, right? That's all she wanted. She hated the eldest son's family only because she felt they were after the title. As for her second uncle, he was already ranked after her eldest uncle, so she certainly wouldn't consider him. After all, her maternal grandmother was her second uncle's birth mother. In times like these, she would always calculate the advantages clearly."
Huan Yue said angrily, "A virtuous woman brings prosperity to three generations, while a wicked woman ruins eight generations. My maternal grandmother was exceptionally virtuous and devoted herself to the Di family. Zheng Shi thought everyone was like her, and even thought my maternal grandmother was selfish, only caring about being the Lady of the State and not considering her son. Fortunately, my second uncle was not as stupid as her and did not have a falling out with my eldest uncle."
Di Shan pondered it over, and it made sense.
My grandmother is truly wonderful; after all these years, she has seen through people's hearts.
If it was a lie to say that he was good to the eldest son in the past, he had to be genuinely good to him after his second uncle lost his legitimate son.
That's complete nonsense.
The second uncle's legitimate son only affected the Zheng family, but both the legitimate and illegitimate sons were grandsons of the Qiang family.
Zheng was both stupid and vicious.
Isn't the illegitimate son she raised her own son?
There are plenty of good stepmothers and stepmothers; otherwise, why would anyone dare to have a second wife?
Even if they aren't as good as the Qiang family, they can still fulfill their duties.
Although General Lü did not remarry because of his daughter, he still had several concubines, which was his duty. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been able to cause trouble after having a son?
Huan Yue then said to Madam Zheng, "As long as her daughter can enter the palace and become Empress, she doesn't care who her son-in-law is. It's as if her daughter becoming Empress has achieved something for her. The Di family has been tolerating her for the sake of harmony, but isn't that just making her reckless? Perhaps the Di family feels indebted to her? That's just her tactic. This kind of vicious woman is capable of anything. Otherwise, why would she target her grandniece? Isn't she afraid of divine retribution?"
Xie Zhou watched as his wife talked for a long time, trying to get the Di family to make a decision.
The Di family did tolerate Zheng's behavior, which is why things escalated.
This is how most families would do it.
However, the Zheng family cannot be allowed to remain.
Although her maternal grandmother punished her after Zheng made a move against her, she still caused trouble.
For the sake of Di Baose, there will be more trouble in the future.
After Xie Zhou learned of this, a rift developed between the Di family and the Crown Prince's Palace.
Therefore, if Di Baose is to be dealt with, Zheng cannot be allowed to live.
Otherwise, the Zheng family might have really done something even bigger.
Things cannot be entirely based on a past life; that would be like a dream that is too real.
Normally, Zheng doesn't do anything that would only result in mutual destruction with the Di family; but if she is certain that she can protect herself, or if she is in a moment of madness, she might impulsively do something that the Di family would find unbearable.
The Dong family's current attack on the Di family, or the Zheng family taking over, is merely a minor skirmish.
But major collapses are not uncommon.
Even a fool might not understand.
The Crown Prince might really be implicated then.
Huan Yue couldn't really control Zheng Shi, so she went to eat.
Xie Zhou followed his wife.
Di Shan suddenly felt superfluous.
It's fine to come over for a free meal, but it's not good to suddenly leave.
But looking at the table in the room, Di Shan felt there was nowhere to sit.
Huan Yue was quite generous: "Why don't you eat here, and I'll eat outside? I was planning to eat outside anyway."
Look, the eunuchs have already set up the tent.
Xie Zhou's face also darkened.
Huan Yue thought the man was being sarcastic and insincere. Shouldn't she, as a woman, avoid him?
As if struck by a sudden thought, Di Shan suggested, "Shall we go out to eat together?"
He won't leave.
I'm here today not to support Di Baose, but to make her give up.
If Di Baose is not willing to give up, then let someone die.
That's just how it is.
If Di Baose doesn't die, then it has to be someone else.
Xie Zhou stared at Di Shan.
Di Shan was very lively; he went outside to find a eunuch and ate here.
What did Huan Yue think Di Erlang looked like when he was out alone?
Xie Zhou retorted, "He is an outsider and should be outside."
Huan Yue, you dog of a man!
How much did his maternal family sacrifice for him? Yet they didn't end up with a good ending.
Xie Zhou was quite annoyed: "Eat quickly!"
Having dinner with her never puts me in a good mood.
What's most infuriating is that she ate with relish, even finishing a whole plate of spring rolls.
Xie Zhou squinted and realized something was wrong. Had his wife eaten too much for dinner?
Because swallows rest early, this time of day is not considered early for meals, so they need to eat less.
If you eat too much, then something bad will happen.
Xie Zhou remained unmoved.
As for Di Shan eating out, he's not short of food.
Di Shan, outside, called out to the eunuch, "Gather more elm seeds; I'll take them back."
Xie Zhou wanted to ask, "Doesn't the Duke of Yan's mansion have elm trees?"
However, the elm trees in the East Palace are somewhat different.
Just like Bai Guo in the Eastern Palace, Xie Zhou felt that his wife was capable of coming up with all sorts of tricks.
For example, if someone were willing to bestow ginkgo nuts upon the Pei family, that would be considered respectable.
However, the Pei family might not approve of it.
Huan Yue was in a very good mood, and neither Dong Shi, Di Baose, Zheng Shi, nor that scoundrel could affect her.
Xie Zhou noticed that her head was badly injured. She wasn't much better off than Di Baose, just in a different direction.
Xie Zhou thought about it and realized that Zheng might have really had designs on his father, wanting to become his stepmother.
So that's why they said they took care of him when he was little.
