Chapter 87 Fake News
"It was said that she was going to be the concubine of Prince Min's mansion. The old woman didn't hear it clearly, so she couldn't really tell what was said, but she said that after the Fifth Old Master and his men came out, they were all smiling happily. Not long after the Sixth Young Master's wife came back, the women of the Fifth House rushed to the East Garden."
Hearing this, Erlang's wife's face suddenly darkened.
When Du Jingyi asked someone to release the news, he deliberately made it sound seven parts true and three parts false.
Things that are vague and unreal tend to make people think too much.
Otherwise, if you are too confident, it will be as if the old woman is there in person, which is fake.
Wouldn't it be easy to reveal the truth if you think about it for a while? Therefore, this uncertain tone is more likely to make Erlang's wife think about it.
Madam Wei, your family is from the powerful Taiwei Mansion.
Although she was just a concubine's daughter, sending her to the Duke's Mansion to be Shang Yukuan's concubine was just a chess piece in the overall plan.
Who knew that she would actually change her fate?
First, he won over Shang Yukuan's heart, and then lay dormant in the backyard for many years.
After Shang Dalang and Madam Gu were gone, she emerged.
Now his daughter is the Princess of Fu, his youngest son has a bright future, and his mother's family has also risen from ordinary officials to the position of Grand Marshal.
It is true that things change over time.
Later, in order to improve her reputation, she was promoted from a concubine's daughter to a legitimate daughter and registered as a daughter under the name of her legal mother.
Therefore, when talking about the girls who got married in the Taiwei Mansion, she, the second wife of the Duke's Mansion and the biological mother of Princess Fu, was quite famous.
Therefore, Erlang's wife had no doubt that she could know the affairs of Prince Min's Palace.
The more she thought about it, the more difficult it seemed. If Madam Wei and Dong Yuan both favored Seventh Lady from the Fifth House, then wouldn't Fourth Lady be in her hands?
Given her conditions and abilities, if she delays any further, she will just end up marrying an elderly widower and getting the relationship over with.
How can she compare to the concubine in Prince Min's mansion in helping the family!
Therefore, regardless of whether she was willing or not, or whether she had the ability or not, she would be grateful even if she was sent to be an ordinary concubine.
Thinking of this, he said to Qin's mother.
"Go to Jia's house quickly and ask Liu Niang to come back. She said she has something important to discuss with you."
"yes."
After Mother Qin left, Erlang's wife wanted to calm down, but the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Finally, she got up and went to the room of the Third Old Master and the Third Old Lady.
Compared to my own in-laws who don't make decisions, it's more reliable to find my grandparents.
When she arrived, the two of them had just finished lunch.
When people get older, they may not eat as much, so there is not much food.
Seeing Erlang's wife, whom they usually relied on, coming in, the third old lady said with a smile.
"You didn't come a quarter of an hour earlier. You came after we finished eating. Should we ask them to make a few more dishes and send them over?"
Erlang's wife had no appetite at this time and spoke to the third old lady in a serious tone.
"Grandfather and grandmother, the people in the fifth room also know the news."
At first, the two of them were a little confused. What kind of news? What if the fifth house knew about it? But they soon understood, and saw that the third old lady was the first to get angry.
"What a joke, could it be that Lao Wu's family is still thinking of marrying up?"
In her eyes, the third bedroom is much better than the fifth bedroom.
Regardless of other things, there are already several great-grandsons, and the fifth branch is still living with Shang Wulang as the only child.
The third old master was also not happy, as if the position of concubine was something they could easily obtain.
Now the fifth room was like a jackal that was coming to snatch away its food, and was very protective of it, so he said angrily.
"Old Five has been a bully since he was young. It's fine if he only bullies the eldest brother, but now he wants to bully me. He must be dreaming. If I give him some face, he will think he is a powerful person. Wait for me to go over and teach him a lesson."
The third old master was about to stand up, but was stopped by Erlang's wife.
"Grandfather, don't go. If things really get out of hand, it's not certain that Fifth Uncle Grandfather will let it go. We want this good thing, and they want it too. The most urgent task now is to think of a way to secretly send Fourth Lady to Prince Min's Palace first."
After she reminded them, the two of them reacted.
But there is not much difference between the third and fifth rooms. Even if Sanlang is more capable, he is not good enough to climb up the high branch of the Min Palace.
So they were also completely in the dark.
"Don't panic. I have asked someone to invite Sixth Sister back. I will discuss with her when the time comes to see if we can get through the Jia family's door."
"Um."
The waiting time was exceptionally long, and everyone was eagerly waiting.
However, Shang Liuniang from the Jia family couldn't help but smile when she heard the news.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She knew that forcing was useless and she had to learn to use wisdom.
Now, regardless of whether Si Niang is willing or not, this matter has been decided.
Not only could she help her parents solve a problem, but she could also save face in front of her husband's family. It was truly a good strategy that killed two birds with one stone.
The more I think about it, the smarter I feel.
So he asked his maid Ruyan to take out three thousand taels of silver and put it in her pocket, and then he gave the order.
"We'll see how things turn out later. If this matter can be settled, you'll definitely benefit from it."
"Yes, I understand."
This money was taken out by her father-in-law, Mr. Jia, from the accounting office last time. It has never been used and she has been waiting for this moment.
It was obvious that the matter could be done with three thousand taels, so the remaining seven thousand taels would naturally go into her pocket.
After all, running back and forth does take some effort, and Shang Qinnan has thought about this better than anyone else.
Afterwards, she boarded the carriage back to her mother's home and headed towards the Duke's Mansion.
When Shang Liuniang arrived, several people acted as if they had found a life-saving straw. They didn't care about the rules and walked up to her, pulled her in, and started talking.
Shang Liuniang pretended to be confused and asked a question specifically.
"What's wrong with you, sister-in-law? Why are you calling me back so anxiously? Is there something wrong at home?"
"The people in the Fifth House also know the news about Prince Min's Palace. What should we do? The Fourth Lady is no match for the Seventh Lady."
Erlang's wife was anxious, and the third old master and the third old lady were also anxious.
But Shang Liuniang was not in a hurry. It was obviously she who set the trap, and she was the most innocent person at this moment.
She spread her hands and said.
"There's nothing I can do about this. It was originally just a piece of news that I heard casually. Now many people outside must know about it, and many are eager to get their daughters back. Fourth sister...how about forget it and let me show her something else?"
Her move of retreating to advance made everyone in the third room anxious.
Especially the third old lady slapped her thigh and said.
"How can that be possible? If the duck that's already in your mouth flies away, won't the fifth room next door laugh out loud?"
At this moment, the Fifth Room actually didn't know that the Third Room also had the intention to make an effort in this regard, but the people in the Third Room had already regarded the Fifth Room as an imaginary enemy.
