Chapter 341: Be a Good Person
A married daughter is a different person, and one who enters the palace is even more so.
Shen Bihe and Shen Qinghe's wife, Lan, came over to greet them and quickly settled them down.
There are many people coming to celebrate the birthday. Who wouldn't be happy to see the empress who is in favor in the palace?
Naturally, they were all good words, and the Shen family was very proud today.
Shen Baolin finally had time to talk to Liang and Shen Yi, but tears started flowing before he could say a word.
Liang had also changed a lot in the past two years. She no longer dared to ask Shen Biyu how to stand up. She just advised her to be more open-minded and gave her money.
As for Shen Yi, he didn't think about this at all, so he just felt sorry for his daughter.
What's more, he and the Liang couple had a weak relationship and he had been favoring his concubine for many years.
Today's schedule is special and it's not a good time to talk all the time, so I didn't say much and went back to work.
In the backyard, the sisters gathered together for a rare occasion.
In fact, when Shen Chuliu was a child, the elder and second sisters were quite nice to her. Although Shen Chuliu was pitied because she had no parents, they never bullied her.
To be honest, Shen Biyu wasn't really a bully at that time, she was just a little too proud.
The sisters were relatively harmonious at that time.
Today, it was rare for a few people to sit together, so Shen Chuliu said, "Sixth sister is getting married, I can't go, what do you think now? Is the Liu family treating you well?"
Shen Bizhi was the youngest and was not very familiar with her fourth sister who entered the palace early.
Hearing this, he said stiffly: "Everything is fine, thank you, Madam."
"Stop talking about it! The Liu family is a piece of shit." The eldest sister Shen Bihe said angrily.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"I was the matchmaker, and it's all my fault that Sixth Sister was harmed." Shen Bihe sighed, "Originally, it was the one in our family who said that the eldest son of the Liu family was good. Although he was only the eldest son of a fourth-rank official, he was quite wealthy because of his higher family background. Sixth Sister would be a legitimate grandmother once she got married. This family is simple and has no concubines. Naturally, they enjoyed a good life. But I didn't expect that the eldest son of the Liu family... actually had a mistress outside! It's said that he's had one for more than three years! We didn't even know! It's a pity that this bastard actually hid it from us!"
The sixth sister Shen Bizhi was embarrassed: "Speaking of which, my parents-in-law and sister-in-law are all good, but... my husband has someone in his heart..."
"He's rebelling! There's no one left in the Shen family? Don't be afraid! It's convenient if you want to divorce!" The second sister Shen Biqu raised her eyebrows.
Shen Biqu has not been in the capital for many years, but even in Anzhou, no one in the Ling family dares to look down on her.
She also has half the decisions to make for her parents-in-law. She was the one who cleaned up the difficult life for her sister-in-law after she got married.
So he is not a person without temper by nature.
"How...how can we talk about divorce? He...is willing to make progress and will take the exam next year...He said he will definitely pass the exam." Shen Bizhi was obviously reluctant to part with the eldest son of the Liu family.
"Since you think so, think of a way." Shen Biqiong smiled and said, "There is always a way. What do you think, Empress Zhaoyi?"
"What do you say? It's very simple. It depends on how you want to live it." Shen Chuliu hadn't seen these family matters for a long time, and they sounded really interesting at first.
"If you can't swallow this and don't want to live a good life, just beat and kill the concubine. I think the concubine must be of a bad identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so afraid to speak out." Shen Chuliu said.
Shen Bizhi's heart trembled: "That's also a human life..."
"Besides, my husband might hate me."
"Then take her back. Since she has been a concubine for more than three years, she must want to come into the mansion. You can do this for her. If she can't be a good concubine, then make her a lowly concubine. If she can't be a lowly concubine, then make her a concubine. Tell your husband that as long as this woman can give birth to a son or a daughter, she will be promoted to a concubine. But the son must not be born before you. I think your husband will agree."
"Your Majesty is right, but... I feel uncomfortable..." Shen Bizhi sighed.
"Why are you upset? You should save face in front of your husband and parents-in-law. Just give her good food and drink, good clothes and accessories. Give her good clothes and jewelry. But, which mansion doesn't have rules? She should abide by the rules according to her position. You don't have to care about her. You are a girl from the Shen family, and you have the Shen family behind you. You have done what you need to do. After all, there are sensible people in the Liu family. Unless the woman really abides by the law, then sooner or later she will lose Young Master Liu, because she is no longer special. Or if she is not obedient, that's even better, she will always have to bear the consequences."
If the woman does something wrong, her parents-in-law will naturally step in to control her.
When the woman is a concubine, she is the mistress living with the man.
But once you enter the mansion, you become a servant.
Even if she becomes a good concubine, a woman without any support can't be very powerful.
Moreover, Shen Bizhi spoiled her and raised her up. She didn't know how high the heaven was and how deep the earth was. The Liu family would only feel more and more guilty. Even if the eldest son Liu realized it after several years, it would be useless. Shen Bizhi was right.
Besides, since Young Master Liu married Shen Bizhi without telling her he had a mistress, he wouldn't easily lose the Shen family as a relative by marriage.
What's more, men can distinguish more clearly that wives and concubines are different.
When the woman entered the mansion and became a slave, how long would the man's novelty last? After all, if the love was really stronger than gold, Master Liu would not have married without telling the truth.
"Besides, you can't just talk nicely. In the eyes of your parents-in-law, a really honest daughter-in-law may not be pleasing. You are the eldest grandmother, and you will be the housekeeper in the future. Naturally, you have to stand up and use whatever means are necessary. As long as your husband thinks you are a good person, that's enough."
Shen Bizhi kept nodding, her eyes shining.
Shen Biqu clapped his hands, "Your Majesty really has a good plan! This way, Young Master Liu will be speechless, and the Liu family will also be speechless. Feeling guilty, they will be more likely to keep a close eye on that woman. Moreover, I don't believe that the two elders of the Liu family didn't know about such a big thing. I guess they thought that their son would break up with that woman after getting married, right?"
The sisters all smiled and said yes.
It's rare to find some of the feeling of youth, but Shen Biqiong said the least. Indeed, she was the one who was most wronged by the Shen family.
She found a way out on her own, but she really didn't want to be grateful to the Shen family. Shen Chuliu understood.
Although Shen Chuliu herself was also sent to the palace by the Shen family, the hatred will never fade away. The family ties are broken, but the benefits are continuous. The Shen family will still support her from behind.
As for my sisters, I haven’t seen them for a year, so it’s not a big deal when we meet.
Of course, except Shen Biyu.
Soon there was no time to talk because many female relatives wanted to come and see Empress Zhaoyi.
Shen Baolin sat in the back and accompanied him.
She was distracted the whole time, thinking about what Concubine Zhaoyi said to her sixth sister.
She told her sixth sister to just be a good person in front of her sixth brother-in-law, so does that mean that she should be a good person in front of the emperor? (End of this chapter)
