Chapter 256 Frog-backed Scorpion



Tan started to get busy...

Call a few granddaughters-in-law to talk.

Mrs. Xu also came today. After resting for a while, she is finally feeling better, with a rosy complexion and some strength.

So, she dressed up nicely, went out early, and walked around the garden. Then, she "ran into" Zhu on the way.

The two chatted and walked to the old lady's room together. In fact, it was Xu who was joking and Zhu who was supporting. Xu could not see the arrogance in her eyes. She thought they were chatting quite speculatively! When they met Wang at the door, she was still low-key and always had a smile on her face. Her plumpness after giving birth was still not reduced, and her white hair was shining. She looked like she was living a good life. But recently, she felt uncomfortable.

From pregnancy to childbirth, my husband never took a concubine nor did he honor anyone.

Wang originally thought that her nominal mother-in-law would not interfere in her affairs. The beautiful aunt was also very kind and would not interfere in other people's affairs. She did not have to go through the things that other women had to go through.

As a result, that day, her husband actually asked her for her dowry maid.

She said that she had promised the girl to someone else, and her husband seemed unhappy and took his own girl away. The matter was not known to the public.

But she couldn't help feeling a little upset.

Zhang Moqing also came, feeling unhappy as Aunt Liu was trying to make her pregnant in various ways.

Aunt Liu couldn't deal with Qi Yu, and she also had concerns about the Zhang family. So, she kept sending her soup all day long...

Zhang Moqing was so angry: Your son has returned to his hometown again. How can I get pregnant just by drinking soup? Tan looked at the granddaughters-in-law who looked like flowers and smiled!

First, she asked Xu carefully, from symptoms to eating and drinking, and then to sleep, and also asked: "Qi Xiao didn't make you angry again, right?! If so, tell grandma, and grandma will take care of him!"

Mrs. Xu was touched: "Thank goodness you, grandma, love your granddaughter-in-law!"

"Who does it hurt?! Don't be afraid of him, grandmother, and your grandfather! If he is naughty, let your grandfather beat this smelly boy!"

Everyone laughed.

Tan was busy, "Hurry up and make the tea that the Marquis brought back. Minghui can't drink tea, so the maid cooked a fruit and white fungus soup, which is thin and can be drunk as water. I haven't slept well these past two days, so I don't dare to drink tea. Let's drink white fungus!"

Pour the tea and serve the white fungus.

Tan drank a few sips and then looked around: "Hey, where is Xiaowu's wife? Where is Wen Yu? Didn't you invite her?"

The maid in her room hurriedly said, "Madam, didn't Fifth Madam go to the East Palace? I told you so!"

"Ouch!" Tan slapped her forehead. A huge oriental pearl was hanging on her head, swinging back and forth. "Look at my memory! I clearly said it, but I forgot it in the blink of an eye!"

After hearing this, Xu and Zhu's faces looked very bad.

Tan turned around and asked, "Moqing, why didn't you go with them?"

Zhang Moqing: "…Replying to Grandmother. Granddaughter-in-law doesn't know where Ayu went. And I'm afraid there are rules for entering and leaving the East Palace."

"That's right!" Tan nodded. "I didn't understand it for a while. Actually, what I meant was... Xiao Si has family matters to take care of for the time being, but he has no official position. Sooner or later, this matter will have to be resolved. He has several older brothers, and your grandfather has to make arrangements for them one by one. What if he has the ability and the opportunity? Look, just like Xiao Wu, he is the strongest among the grandchildren! He has won the attention of the noble!"

Zhang Moqing nodded in agreement: "Grandma is right!"

"You are good friends with Wen Yu, and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu are the ones favored by your mother the most! Xiao Wu's matter has been settled. Xiao Si... I will talk to Wen Yu later. If you have the opportunity to help your brothers, you should think about it!"

Xu's face darkened again.

Tan looked at her and smiled: "Xiao'er, don't worry about it. He has a place to go. It will be easy for the Marquis to find him a new place in the future! Don't worry!"

"Okay Minghui, I'm just chatting, don't bother to bother you! You better get well, the family still relies on you! Have some Tremella now."

After talking for a while, the Marquis came back and everyone dispersed.

Zhang Moqing thought as she walked. She had also seen many noble ladies of the same age as Mrs. Hou.

They are usually dignified and reserved, and they are very careful with their words. They wear jeweled armor and rarely look people in the eye.

Unlike this marquis's wife, she is simple and humorous, speaks faster than her brain, and cares for everyone like an ordinary grandmother.

But in fact, there are pitfalls at every step.

Look today, my eldest sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law and I all have smiles on our faces, but there is a needle stuck in our hearts.

What was she after? Actually, Zhang Moqing didn't know that some people were like the poisonous scorpion lying on a frog to cross the river. They knew that if they stabbed the frog with their poisonous needle, it would die and it would drown in the river, but they couldn't help but stab it because it was its instinct.

When the Marquis came back, he saw his old wife smiling happily and even joked with her: "Why didn't you ask Xiaowu's wife to come over to chat? You had a good chat without her, didn't you? "

Tan covered her mouth with her handkerchief: "My Lord, you actually look down on me like that! I am the Marquis's wife, and also a grandmother! How can I bother with a granddaughter-in-law like her? I was angry for a moment, and I said a few words to you, and it's over! How can it never end?!"

The Marquis laughed: "That's because you have a broad mind!"

"Although not as broad as the Marquis, it's still a bit wide!"

After that, she stopped laughing and said, "It's true that we don't want to invite this Fifth Madam. Don't you know? She has gone to the East Palace!"

"Oh? You're going again?"

"Yes. They said that the concubine missed her, so she was with the girl named Zhuzhu... I can't figure out their relationship, but I heard that the girl was extremely beautiful. They went to the East Palace... They said that the Crown Prince wanted to see her."

The Marquis just said "oh" and didn't respond.

Tan asked again: "Once, the prince was ill and went to the Royal Hot Springs Resort. The two of them accompanied him."

The Marquis was stunned...

After saying that, Tan changed her words: "Oh, look at me. At that time, it was the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's grandson, the General's concubine, Xiao Wu, Wen Yu and Yan Zhu who went there! It seems that Wen Yu had not yet entered the palace at that time... You know about this, right?!"

The Marquis shook his head.

Tan then cried out, "I forgot, you weren't back yet! My Lord...something...ah!"

The Marquis's face began to turn pale.

"Like today, I don't know what he did. It was an official of the Crown Prince who came to the house to inform us. If the Crown Princess had asked the female official to come, it would have been better... You said... It must be the Crown Prince, who has a noble character and is in poor health. Otherwise, you said..."

"Okay! How dare you say such things?!" The Marquis rarely got angry.

Tan was panicked and regretful, and quickly stood up and bowed: "It was my fault, please don't blame me, Lord."

The Marquis snorted coldly and strode away.

Tan showed a sinister smile...

When Xu returned to her room, she felt uncomfortable again in the evening. She said angrily: It was all because of that bitch Wen Yu!
