Chapter 87: Competing
"Old Madam, to be honest, I don't know the rules of your Southern Yan. In our Southern Wu, taking a concubine is just for beauty and offspring. A concubine is also a concubine, so there is no need to make a big fuss about it. Otherwise, the hat of favoring a concubine over his wife will be put on this person, and he will surely be drowned in spit. Could it be that when the old madam was taken as a concubine, there was also a fuss?" Zhu Huaizhen sighed.
Since these people wouldn't let her sleep, she wouldn't let them have a good time either.
Yes, the old lady was promoted from a concubine to a second wife.
The old lady could have married someone else as her principal wife, but she was reluctant to give up the immense wealth of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The old lady entered the Duke Dingguo's mansion through a side door in a sedan chair when her elder sister was critically ill. Later, when her elder sister died, she gave birth to Lady Chen, and was eligible to be made the first wife. However, because the old Duke Dingguo had to observe mourning for his mother, he could not hold a grand ceremony.
Therefore, weddings are a concern for the old lady, and she will hold a grudge against anyone who mentions them.
However, Zhu Huaizhen was not afraid and did not hold a grudge against him.
"Princess Xincheng, you see, a princess of a fallen country is a princess of a fallen country, she has no tolerance at all. You obviously meant well and wanted her to marry in glory, but she went to poke your mother in the lungs. Just ask yourself, which young girl in love does not look forward to a grand wedding." Madam Chen patted the old lady on the back to calm her down while making sarcastic remarks.
"Zhenzhen, I misunderstood. I thought you needed it. Now that I think about it, it wasn't long since Concubine Xue passed away, and you were still in mourning." Zhao Lian'er spoke in a pitiful tone.
When it comes to Concubine Xue, Zhu Huaizhen is filled with anger, but he has to endure it again and again.
In fact, it was not impossible for her to order Tu Mi to kill Zhao Lian'er directly.
However, she could not bear the consequences of this.
She is not alone.
Behind her are Feng Tumi and Zhu Huaishu.
"Oh, how filial you are." Mrs. Chen sneered again.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen slapped Mrs. Chen hard.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Don't think that Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen is easy to bully.
"Mother, look at this bastard. He actually dares to hit and scold his elders!" Mrs. Chen covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of resentment, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet.
Mrs. Chen had lived half her life, and the only time she was beaten was by her ex-husband.
Normally, she is the second daughter of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, who is treated like a treasure.
"Zhenzhen, you shouldn't hit or scold your elders." Chen Mingan's eyes were full of disappointment.
"You beat me if you want to, but you never scolded me. However, since all of you are lecturing me, I might as well start scolding you. Madam Chen, you are jumping around and disturbing the peace in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. To put it bluntly, you are venting your anger about the failure of your marriage and feel that the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion owes you. You are really an ungrateful person who can never be tamed." Zhu Huaizhen put his hands on his hips, rolled up his sleeves, and scolded like a shrew in the street, looking quite fiery and charming.
"I'm an ungrateful person?" Mrs. Chen was extremely angry and made to fight back.
However, Tu Mi grabbed Madam Chen's wrist with one hand, making her unable to move.
"Ming'an, look at you, you're so arrogant even before you even enter the house. If it weren't for His Majesty granting the marriage, I would have expelled you long ago. I'm old and can't take care of you, you handle it yourself." The old lady knocked three times on her emerald-inlaid rosewood phoenix-head cane and turned to leave.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Yan'er pulled Madam Chen away.
"It's okay, it's time to leave." Zhu Huaizhen yawned and prepared to say goodbye.
"Stop, Zhenzhen." Chen Mingan said coldly, then walked up to Zhu Huaizhen and continued to ask: "Zhenzhen, do you really not want to marry me from the beginning to the end?"
"Isn't it obvious? Chen Mingan, if it were me, and I destroyed your Duke Dingguo's Mansion and caused the tragic death of your mother, would you want to marry me?" Zhu Huaizhen rolled his eyes and left.
