Chapter 14: Yun Zheng has no moral principles, and does it with a click.
Nanny Ji lives in the deep palace and has seen all kinds of people.
"Although we have been married, we haven't acknowledged our relationship, paid homage at the ancestral hall, or been included in the family tree. This process is not yet complete, and Miss Yun is not yet a true young lady of the Marquis's mansion."
"Madam Hou asked people to kneel in the ancestral hall as soon as she opened her mouth. This is not in accordance with etiquette and is not in accordance with human nature. Those who know her would think that you are blinded by greed and have become confused. Those who don't would think that you are deliberately retaliating and narrow-minded."
The Marquis's wife's face turned pale. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word of rebuttal.
Nanny Ji was not wrong. What she said was reasonable and in accordance with the rules and regulations. There was nothing wrong with it.
Seeing this, Marquis Pingxi sighed silently. Yun Zheng had taken the old maid in the palace under her wing in just one night. She was truly amazing.
Seeing that the use of force was not working, he just took it slow and tried to test the other party's bottom line step by step.
As a human being, we all have weaknesses.
"Okay, let's acknowledge our relationship first."
The Marquis's wife rolled her eyes and had a new idea, "According to the rules, Zhen'er is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family, so you go first."
Ye Yizhen was secretly delighted, and said gently and generously, "Yes."
The two men stood side by side in front of the Pingxi Marquis and his wife. One was gentle, the other handsome, and they were a perfect match. However, the Pingxi Marquis could not describe the feeling in his heart and was very worried.
He didn't sleep last night. He thought over and over again. He just wanted to keep Yun Zheng firmly under control without offending the palace and the Ninth Prince, and let her make selfless contributions to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion.
But, with Ye Yichen around, this is too difficult.
Jiang Wenzhou stood and saluted, while Ye Yizhen knelt down in front of the Pingxi Marquis and his wife, offering tea with both hands. "Please have some tea, Dad and Mom."
Pingxi Hou picked up the teacup and took a sip. Without making any trouble, he gave a red envelope.
The marquis' wife drank the tea and smiled as she gave him a fine jade pendant.
"This is a family heirloom from our mansion, and it's only given to the eldest daughter-in-law. Please keep it well and give us more lovely grandchildren."
She promoted Ye Yizhen just to suppress Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng was too proud, and she would never be so obedient as to serve the Marquis of Pingxi unless her bones were broken one by one.
She doesn't care about the eldest and second houses. They are both the heir apparent. Is she still afraid of other people's gossip?
Ye Yizhen lowered her eyebrows, but she was very proud in her heart. As long as she gave birth to the eldest grandson, the Pingxi Marquisate would be hers. "Yes, mother."
She also presented shoes and socks she had made by herself, and the Pingxi Marquis and his wife praised her highly, saying she was virtuous and capable.
Jiang Wenzhou was overjoyed when he received a sachet with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
"This pattern is exquisite and intricate, and it's double-sided embroidery. You must have put a lot of effort into it. I love it."
Ye Yizhen's eyes were filled with affection as she shyly said, "I've been embroidering for several nights. As long as you like it, everything is worth it."
The other clan members did not make things difficult for her. They all gave gifts, more or less, and Ye Yizhen also returned the gifts. The older ones gave the four treasures of the study, the younger ones gave a brush, and the female members all gave handkerchiefs.
The scene was filled with joy and harmony. Everyone praised Ye Yizhen and deliberately ignored Yun Zheng, pretending she didn't exist.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Pingxi Hou finally spoke, "Next is the turn of the second wife, Yun, you..."
When he turned around, he saw Yun Zheng moving a chair and sitting in the corner, drinking fragrant tea and watching the show with a smile on her face. She looked so comfortable.
Embarrassment? Not a possibility.
Everyone felt as if they had been punched hard on cotton, and they couldn't describe the feeling in their hearts.
Madam Hou raised her eyebrows horizontally and vertically, "Yun, it's your turn to serve tea."
Yun Zheng slowly stood up, walked slowly to the front of Pingxi Hou and his wife, and stood next to Ye Yizhen.
Ye Yizhen has a beautiful and graceful appearance and a gentle temperament. She looks ethereal in plain clothes, but the dark red dress does not suit her very well at this moment.
However, Yun Zheng's facial features were bright and elegant, and her red dress was as fiery as fire, which made Ye Yichen look dull and lifeless, like a foil.
Ye Yizhen's expression changed slightly, and she moved quietly to stand on the other side of Jiang Wenzhou.
Yun Zheng raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and slowly reached out her hand, calmly and nonchalantly. "Tea."
Nanny Ji came over with a tea tray, and Yun Zheng picked up the teacup and handed it to her, "My Lord, have some tea."
She didn't kneel!
The Marquis’s wife shouted, “Kneel down.”
Yun Zheng didn't want to kneel down to this disgusting old couple. In fact, she didn't even want to serve them tea, but the emperor, empress, and all the civil and military officials in the court were watching. She had to occupy the high ground of public opinion and not let anyone get hold of any evidence against her.
After all, the Yun family is behind her.
"My Lord, please forgive me. Your mansion is too harsh. You didn't give me breakfast. My stomach is sticking to my back, and I can't see anything. I can't even kneel."
The Marquis's wife was furious. "You won't die if you skip a meal. Kneel down."
Yun Zheng didn't argue and pretended to kneel down, but her body swayed and she fell slowly.
Chunhua rushed over and held her up, howling, "Oh no! Someone's been killed in the Marquis' Mansion."
Chunhua's eyes turned red with anger. "If anything happens to my young lady, I will file a complaint with the emperor, accusing the Pingxi Marquisate of forcing my daughter-in-law to death and taking human life lightly."
The scene was completely silent. The Yun family girl had no martial ethics.
Jiang Wenzhou was so angry that he vomited blood. "Nonsense, this is ridiculous."
The Marquis's wife was very angry. "Madam Ji, you saw everything, didn't you? It was the Yun family who was being unreasonable and unreasonable. Please tell the truth in front of the Emperor and Empress."
Nanny Ji looked serious and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I saw with my own eyes that you, the Marquis of Pingxi, coveted my daughter-in-law's dowry and bullied the weak with your strength."
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. What nonsense are you talking about?
Jiang Wenzhou was young and hot-tempered, and he couldn't stand this injustice. "Are you blind? It was clearly her..."
Ji Mama's eyes turned colder. "Sir, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so immoral and magnanimous that you bullied a weak woman. The world is blind."
This counterattack seems light, but it is extremely lethal.
A weak woman? Jiang Wenzhou laughed in anger.
The Marquis's wife was in a panic, "Madam Ji, you have been bribed by the Yun family! Believe it or not, I am going to the palace to talk to the Queen."
I thought that Nanny Ji would be frightened, but she was not afraid at all. "Madam, you can't just enter the palace if you want to. The Queen is wise and will not listen to one side, nor will she become a knife in your hands."
As expected of someone who came from the deep palace, her speaking skills are very good. She didn't use a single dirty word, but she hit the nail on the head.
A knife? The knife that made the queen a marquis? If word of this got out, I wonder who would be in big trouble.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Pingxi Hou quickly stood up and said, "Enough, talk properly."
"Yun Zheng, if you're not feeling well, there's no need to kneel down. Bring me some tea."
Yun Zheng then slowly stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on her sleeves. She was so calm and composed that it made people want to bite her.
She knows how to irritate people.
Pingxi Hou happily took the teacup, took a sip, and also gave a red envelope.
However, when it was the Marquis's wife's turn, Yun Zheng was about to hand it over. The Marquis's eyes flashed, and she pretended to take the teacup. Her hand moved slightly, and it seemed that she did not hold it firmly, and the hot tea spilled onto Yun Zheng's face.
Ye Yizhen's eyes lit up with excitement. Good, great, it would ruin her overly beautiful face!
Seeing that Yun Zheng's beautiful face was about to be ruined, she was prepared and pulled Jiang Wenzhou in front of her with force.
"Ah." Jiang Wenzhou let out a shrill scream. Hot water splashed all over him, and a few drops even splashed on his handsome face. It hurt!
How come he was injured again? !
Yun Zheng's mouth corners rose slightly. It's okay that the mother commits sins and the son suffers.
In the second round, Yun Zheng vs. Pingxi Houfu, a complete victory!
An angry roar suddenly rang out, "Yun Zheng, do you still want to be included in our Jiang family's genealogy?!"
It was the Marquis’ wife. She was furious, her eyes were red, and she looked like a tiger that wanted to eat people.
Ancestral tree? Yun Zheng's face changed drastically, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart...
