When some people in Shiyuan Village learned that Da Huo was Princess Rongning's sister-in-law, they naturally couldn't care less about her. They could do whatever Da Huo wanted, as long as it didn't affect others.
Some even ran to the door of the Da Huo family and taunted them, not caring whether they were born in the Bo's mansion or not. The fact that the Da Huo family had been exiled here meant that they could no longer be so good.
When Mrs. Huo heard someone talking about her at the door, she thought about some things in her past life. She didn't like washing clothes or cooking. Sometimes she would take the family money out to buy food, so the family would come back from the fields hungry, and they would have to cook for themselves.
This led to others criticizing Da Huo, who they felt was no good at all. A sister-in-law who was so lazy and still needed to be supported by her younger sister-in-law, what was the point of having such a sister-in-law?
There were always people who took Liu Yulian's side and criticized Mrs. Huo, but Mrs. Huo didn't like hearing that. Mrs. Huo believed that since Liu Yulian hadn't married yet and was still eating at home, she should be doing those things.
"People should not be so cruel. They don't care about their husbands or their children. She deserves it. She can't be the Crown Prince's wife now."
"Who knows what she did wrong to be thrown here."
"Be careful not to be harmed by her."
…
Some people are just gossipy. They think they are righteous and they like to say these things.
"Get lost." Mrs. Huo ran out, a broom in hand. She couldn't let this continue. She hadn't done anything wrong to Liu Yulian or Liu Yanjing. This was their problem. If they truly wanted to return, they should have written to her as soon as Liu Yulian figured out how to cultivate it.
Neither Liu Yulian nor Liu Yanjing wrote to her, they did it on purpose, they didn't want her to go back.
At this time, Mrs. Huo still had the habit of blaming others and she didn't think she was wrong.
The people sent by the emperor kept an eye on the Da Huo family from time to time. They just wanted to see if the Da Huo family would do anything stupid or bad again in the northwest.
Being from the same village, Da Huo would inevitably run into Liu Yanqing's family whenever she went out. Da Huo also discovered that everyone in the village loved Princess Rongning very much, and some people would go to the Rongning Temple from time to time, but few would say anything bad about Princess Rongning.
hateful!
Da Huo felt that such a village was a huge harm to her.
Meanwhile, Miss Cen had already returned to her in-laws' home, but her in-laws treated her even worse. They believed that Miss Cen had dared to burn down the Rongning Temple, which was a truly terrible act.
Because of what Miss Cen did, her in-laws were also ridiculed. Even her husband's maids mocked her for being overconfident. Miss Cen felt that she had no status in her in-laws' family.
But she didn't dare to ask for a divorce. She had lost her virginity. If she got a divorce, who could she marry?
Miss Cen could only grit her teeth and live her life. She didn't dare to do anything else, and she didn't even dare to say anything about her husband. Miss Cen could only endure it, even more so than the other women in the Cen family before.
In the past, the girls from the Cen family at least married people of higher status. Even if a girl from the Cen family became a concubine, their lives were not so difficult.
Once, Da Huo ran into Miss Cen in town, and the two unexpectedly became friends. A woman like Da Huo wouldn't be willing to work alone, and it was unlikely she would remarry. Lord Ouyang hadn't divorced her, and the two hadn't divorced.
Da Huo often visited Miss Cen, and after a while, Da Huo even hooked up with Miss Cen's husband. Even though Da Huo was three or five years older than Miss Cen's husband, Miss Cen's husband still liked Da Huo very much.
Some men are like this, they like older sisters, and some like older women.
It was just this one matter that Mrs. Huo did not dare to let Miss Cen know, and she was also unwilling to let others know.
In the capital, ever since the eldest Mrs. Huo got into trouble and was exiled to the northwest, Mrs. Huo has lost all of her energy and spirit.
Mrs. Huo couldn't believe that her eldest daughter was exiled like that. She went to inquire about the news, and others said that the eldest Mrs. Huo was trying to harm Princess Rongning.
The emperor was furious, so Mrs. Huo thought about waiting for a while, maybe she could find a way to get her husband to plead for mercy, or talk to Liu Yulian. Mrs. Huo didn't believe her daughter would do such a thing, after all, her daughter and Liu Yulian didn't live under the same roof.
Mrs. Huo took advantage of Uncle Huo's inattention and ran out of the mansion to block Liu Qingyun at the school.
"I want to see your aunt," Mrs. Huo said. "Your mother is innocent."
"I can't help you." Liu Qingyun said bluntly, "My mother remarried, so you shouldn't look for the Jingning Marquis Mansion anymore."
Liu Qingyun didn't want Mrs. Huo to go to Liu Yulian and say anything more nonsense. He believed his aunt had done nothing wrong. His biological mother was not arrested because of Liu Yulian, and at least Liu Qingyun didn't see Liu Yulian targeting the Huo family.
"That's your biological mother, do you really not care about her?" Mrs. Huo frowned.
"It's true that she's my biological mother, but if a prince breaks the law, the common people will be punished as well." Liu Qingyun said, "I can't solve this matter."
Liu Qingyun got on the carriage directly. He did not let Mrs. Huo follow him, nor did he think of asking Liu Yulian to come out and talk to Mrs. Huo more.
When Liu Qingyun returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he went to find Liu Yulian. Even though those things were done by the Huo family and not Liu Qingyun, he still felt that he had let his aunt down.
"Aunt." When Liu Qingyun came over, he saw Liu Yulian picking oyster mushrooms.
The oyster mushrooms planted by Liu Yulian are growing well. They have grown two crops and are now in their third. However, the mushrooms are not growing as densely as they did the first time.
But this is normal. If those mushroom bags can grow several batches of oyster mushrooms, it would be very good.
"Come, let's pick some oyster mushrooms together." Liu Yulian waved towards Liu Qingyun, "We can eat oyster mushrooms again today."
"These oyster mushrooms are growing well." Liu Qingyun thought they had been eating a lot of them these past few days, and after eating them so often, he didn't like them very much. He knew this was because their family had returned to the capital. If they were still in the northwest, having those oyster mushrooms at home would have been great. "I'll eat more when the time comes."
"Aren't you tired of it after eating it so many times?" Liu Yulian was surprised when she heard Liu Qingyun's words.
"This was planted by my aunt." Liu Qingyun said.
"What I grow is useless. If you get tired of it, you get tired of it." Liu Yulian said, "You don't get tired of it, but I am tired of eating it."
Liu Yulian really didn't want to eat oyster mushrooms all the time, so she asked someone to dry the oyster mushrooms and gave some away.
"Grandma came to see me again today." Liu Qingyun didn't want to talk about the Huo family at all. "If they come to you, don't listen to them. Since mother remarried and she did something wrong, she should be punished."
"This matter." Liu Yulian thought it was something else. "Don't worry about it. Just focus on your studies."
"My handwriting isn't pretty enough." Liu Qingyun said, "I need more practice."
"Okay, then go practice." Liu Yulian said with a smile, "If you're done practicing, I'll give you some of the paper I made a while ago."
Liu Yulian made a batch of very good rice paper some time ago, but she was reluctant to use it, so she put all the papers away.
"Thank you, aunt." Liu Qingyun said.
"That's going to have to wait until your handwriting looks better." Liu Yulian said, "My handwriting isn't that good, but I can tell how yours is."
Liu Yulian thought that even if she couldn't see more details, as long as she could see whether the font looked good and was neat, that would be enough. As for the font type and the structure, that was not something Liu Yulian needed to consider.
There are several mushroom bags in the yard of Old Lady He in the Mansion of Duke Chengguo.
He Xiyuan brought them back from Liu Yulian, and Madam He often had them watered, and she occasionally went to water them herself. If a guest came and saw the mushrooms, Madam He would say they were given to her by Princess Rongning.
Old Madam He usually treasured those mushroom bags. Many oyster mushrooms grew in those bags. She even had them sent to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law so that they could have a taste.
Mrs. Mo also gave Mrs. He some things. She didn't see how much Mrs. He treasured the things she gave her, but she wasn't unhappy. In Mrs. He's heart, Princess Rongning was so important.
"This mushroom is really growing." Old Madam He sighed.
"When you come over, you can smell the aroma of those oyster mushrooms." Mrs. Mo couldn't help but wonder whether Old Madam He could smell the scent of those oyster mushrooms when she was sleeping.
Mrs. Mo didn't say that those oyster mushrooms were bad, she just felt that ordinary people simply couldn't do it.
Mo's mother also asked her to learn more from Mrs. He, who had previously wanted He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian to break off their engagement. When Liu Yulian showed her strength, Mrs. He's attitude changed significantly.
"Rongning's mushroom buns are really good," Madam Mo praised. "I heard that a village near the capital city makes a lot of them, and they're making a lot of money from them."
"Oh?" Old Madam He didn't know this yet.
"Rongning brought people there to do it, and she taught them personally," Madam Mo said with a smile. "Rongning has her way. When she shows up, so many people trust her. No one else in the institute has this ability, and those researchers aren't necessarily capable of coming up with these things. Some people tried to emulate Rongning, but they didn't get it done right, and not only did they make people lose money, but they were also chased and beaten."
"Then what?" Mrs. He asked curiously.
"The institute gave those people some compensation," said Mrs. Mo. "The people at the institute asked them to do those things. If they failed, the institute would compensate them to prevent them from causing trouble."
"If they make a profit, it's theirs; if they lose, it's the institute's. They get the good deal," Old Madam He sighed.
"It depends on the person. If it's Rong Ning, they'll say they're willing to lose money," said Mrs. Mo. "If they lose money in the first year and make money in the second, that's fine. They all believe Rong Ning won't let them suffer any losses. They all trust Rong Ning."
"That's because Rong Ning is capable. If Rong Ning was not capable, do you think those people would still say these things?" said Old Lady He.
"..." Mrs. Mo almost said: Is it the same as you?
While Liu Yulian was enjoying a prosperous life, Liu Yuqin was having a hard time. She couldn't find a suitable man to marry, and even after almost three months since the emperor's death, her life hadn't improved.
This made Liu Yuqin very unhappy, and Liu Yuqin met Mrs. Qin Dashao outside.
Madam Qin Dashao did not dare to let Liu Yuqin into the Qin family, for she was afraid that the people in the Qin family would dislike Liu Yuqin and would be dissatisfied with her.
The two of them sat in a restaurant, and Mrs. Qin ordered the dishes.
"If it really doesn't work out, you can wait a while before getting married. If you get married so soon, others will think you are cold-hearted." said the wife of the young master Qin.
"Why am I so cold? If the two people before me hadn't been so disappointing, if they hadn't wronged me, how could I have found someone else so quickly?" Liu Yuqin didn't think there was anything wrong with her. "Sister, can you help me? You know my mother and aunt, they can't find anyone good at all."
"I have no choice." Madam Qin Da Shao picked up the water glass on the table. "Because of you, my in-laws have said a lot about me. I can only see you in public. I really don't know what to do about your marriage."
Madam Qin thought that if it were someone else, perhaps she would know what to do. Madam Qin did not dare to propose marriage to someone like Liu Yuqin, for fear of offending others.
In the eyes of Madam Qin, Liu Yuqin was a little naughty and unruly. In the eyes of others, Liu Yuqin was a troublesome person.
"Let's wait for a while until those people have forgotten about these things, then we can talk about it." said Mrs. Qin, the eldest young master.
"How long is 'after a while'? A few years?" Liu Yuqin asked, "If I wait that long, I'll be old."
"..." Madam Qin stared at Liu Yuqin, but she had no choice.
"Or, we can find a distant relative of the Qin family, a scholar would also be fine." Liu Yuqin said.
"No." Madam Qin said hurriedly. If she dared to do that, the Qin family would definitely be dissatisfied with her.
Madam Qin Dashao also knew that she had to consider the attitude of her husband's family. No matter how much she loved Liu Yuqin, she would never do such a thing.
But Liu Yuqin is now holding on to Madam Qin, and she wants Madam Qin to find a suitable person for her.
"Big sister, are you like those people? Don't you want to acknowledge me as your sister?" Liu Yuqin said, "Forget it. Since you don't want to help me, I won't force you. It's my fate. I'm just a concubine's daughter, not born from my mother's womb. I just can't live such a good life."
When Madam Qin heard Liu Yuqin say this, she felt a little soft-hearted, but she still did not give in.
When Liu Yuqin returned home, she told Aunt Qing that Madam Qin was heartless.
"I've begged her so much, but she still won't help me." Liu Yuqin said, "Wait until the future, will she think that just because she's Liu Yulian's biological sister, she can live a good life? Yes, she can live a good life. What she said before about treating me well was all empty talk."
"You should have known long ago that her words were empty." Aunt Qing coaxed her grandson, "She and you are not born from the same womb. Yes, she doesn't like Liu Yulian that much. But in her heart, can you compare to her husband and her child?"
Aunt Qing thought it was normal for Madam Qin to be unwilling to help Liu Yuqin more. However, Madam Qin always saw Liu Yuqin from time to time. If she couldn't help, then why did she see her? Was it to let others see how well she was doing?
Young Master Qin’s wife is also disgusting!
"Don't go looking for her all the time in the future," Aunt Qing said. "Will you be happy if she sees you living in misery?"
"I..." Liu Yuqin certainly didn't want others to see that she was unhappy.
"You said so many things to her, but she didn't even offer to help you. She just said she felt sorry for you, but that's what anyone says." Aunt Qing said, "Don't bother with her. Just keep looking for her, and you'll eventually find a solution."
Aunt Qing liked to comfort Liu Yuqin in this way. She was unsure whether her daughter could really find the right person.
The Su family's fact that Mrs. Su gave Su Qiuya more cold food was eventually exposed.
Bai Shi was not Su Qiuya. She had once worked with Master Su in business, so she knew how to do things better. She investigated little by little, digging out the weaknesses of the people around Madam Su, and she seized those weaknesses and attacked them one by one.
However, it was not Bai who told this matter, but Su Qiuya who told it to Mr. Su.
Bai couldn't give Master Su a bad impression, and couldn't let people think that she, a concubine, was always targeting the wife of the main wife. She had to let the victim speak in person, that would be the only way. If the victim didn't speak, then what could she do?
Others can still say that Su Qiuya is fine. Even if Su Qiuya is in trouble, it is Su Qiuya who is injured outside. After all, Su Qiuya was exiled to the northwest with the Liu family. Who knows if Su Qiuya was injured on the road.
Su Qiuya was not afraid that Liu Yanbo would know this, even though she had previously deliberately let Liu Yanbo think that it was because she always took care of him. On the way to exile, she took care of him more and she was hurt.
"I originally thought I was injured on the road. The doctor also said that it was due to exile and my previous poor diet." Su Qiuya said, "This time, we finally caught the person and have evidence. Husband, will you blame me?"
"I don't blame you." Liu Yanbo did think that Su Qiuya became like this because she took care of him. But even if Su Qiuya's body was damaged in the Su family, Su Qiuya still took care of him. Liu Yanbo couldn't pretend that this didn't happen. "I'll go with you."
Liu Yanbo was worried about Su Qiuya going to the Su family alone. He was worried that the Su family would treat Su Qiuya badly and that something might happen to Su Qiuya.
"That's fine." Su Qiuya said, "This time, it's Aunt Bai who wants to deal with her. In a family, it's not okay to favor a concubine over the wife, but An is originally the second wife. If she's not doing well, then don't blame others. However, father should still keep her."
Su Qiuya had already prepared herself mentally. Madam Su had given birth to children for Mr. Su, and these things could only make Mr. Su disappointed in Madam Su.
Mrs. Su did not really hurt Mr. Su, Mrs. Su did not cheat on Mr. Su, and did not make Mr. Su a cuckold, so Mr. Su would not be able to empathize with him. Even if Su Qiuya was Mr. Su's biological daughter, and Mr. Su had more than one daughter, Mr. Su would still think about the children born to Mrs. Su.
