Chapter 374 It's them
Shujie and Shu Yao had just come to their senses, and suddenly they were filled with anger. Yes, who was the one who hit him? What's going on? They were all worried about Nangong Miao, and they didn't expect this to come.
Nangong Yuzhen said to Hongqiao with a calm face: "Go and bring those two evil wives with bad hearts."
Two? Shuyao was stunned.
Shujie also frowned: "Aunt Zhen, who is so bold?" People in the mansion have always been cautious in employing people, and there are two evil people hiding? Whose secret stumps are they?
Mrs. Nangong's voice was trembling with anger: "It's Chu Kexin and Chu Keren."
Xiao Xu and Chu Kexin, Chu Keren, two sisters, are very kind. The orphan girl from a small business family wants to fly up to the branches and turn into a phoenix by using the names of the Nangong family and the Nangong Master. But if they want to see the authentic girl of the Nangong family, even the illegitimate girl is better than this cousin who lives under someone else’s roof?
What's more, the mother and daughter all look at the wealthy family of princes and marquis. Those families would not even look at them even if they marry concubines or take concubines.
These three people didn't know it, and they even resented that Mrs. Xu, the wife of Nangong, did not help them talk about the Xiang. Xu was kind enough to find a few good candidates for them to show them. They also thought that Xu had only made some people with low family status and poor conditions to fool them. His daughter married the Marquis, but she couldn't bear to see her niece.
Xu's family was so angry that they no longer cared about them. After all, it was a perfect end to take in them. As aunts, they had no responsibility to be responsible for their niece's marriage, let alone the little Xu family was still Xu's concubine.
In order to prevent their outrageous behavior from dragging down the Nangong family, Xu even followed the opinions of his elder brother and spread the word to the outside world. It said that the mother and daughter of the Xiao Xu were just living in Nangong Mansion, and the Nangong Mansion would not interfere with anything about them. Of course, as an aunt, Xu would add one or two better makeup when her niece got married (Xiao Xu always brags about Nangong Miao's amazing dowry, implying that Chu Kexin, Chu Keren's dowry will definitely not be much different).
As a result, it became even more difficult for Xiao Xu and his daughter to get to those families that they saw as "suitable". When Xiao Xu learned about the sayings that were circulating outside the Nangong Mansion, he immediately ran to Xu to wipe his tears, saying that the servants in the mansion underestimated Xu's family, which made her embarrassed to "stay" in Nangong Mansion again. He asked Xu to speak out and clarify and restore it.
Unexpectedly, Xu just said lightly: "You are originally named Chu but Nangong, how can you 'clearize' me? I can't ruin my master's reputation because of you, right? Kexin Keren is my niece, but the Nangong family can't give my niece the dowry, right? Otherwise, they won't be drowned by spitting? Even those people in the clan are going to make trouble. If you are really uncomfortable, it's okay for you to move out, but you have bought a house in Beijing anyway, right?"
Xiao Xu was stunned. Xu always spoke easily (mainly because she was pitiful to her two children). The mother and daughter ate well in Nangong Mansion and lived well, and had monthly money, which made her forget that she was just a concubine who was dependent on others. She always said "our Nangong Mansion" and "our Nangong Family".
In her opinion, the Nangong family has more money than the other family’s rice. If you raise their mother and daughter, what’s the point of giving her two daughters a dowry?
But she never thought that the legitimate sister accused her in person that she would ruin Mr. Nangong's reputation. She exposed her thoughts of asking Mr. Nangong to take her house many years ago (actually, she was guilty. Xu didn't know that when she first came to Nangong Mansion, she tried every means to seduce Mr. Nangong but failed. She was also politely warned by Mr. Nangong...
The three young Xu family and the three of them did not move out of Nangong Mansion in the end. When they moved out, they had to pay for all the expenses themselves. How could the meager industry in her hands stand up to the high consumption in the capital? What's more, the Nangong family's food, clothing, housing and transportation standards were twice, three times, or even several times the general consumption level in the capital. In addition, if the daughter did not bring her marriage, she still had to rely on the Nangong Mansion to retire. Once she moved out, it would be difficult to come back.
Xu refused to intervene in the marriage between the Chu Kexin sisters, so Xiao Xu had to ask a matchmaker himself. Of course, he did not dare to brag about the dowry again (if anyone else would not believe it).
Two years ago, Chu Kexin and his sisters married a big businessman in Tianjin at the same time to serve as a successor. It is said that when the two sisters were born, Xiao Xu and her husband had calculated with the master, saying that the two must marry the same person to share the peace and wealth, otherwise they would be ominous.
Unexpectedly, after just over a month after marrying, the businessman went to another place to discuss a big business, but was killed by a robber on his way home.
The mother of the big merchant and his younger brother and sister naturally did not allow Chu Kexin to stay in the mansion to compete for property with them. Soon they asked them to leave on the grounds that they were still young and considered them, because Chu Kexin and his two children had no children, and the big merchant had one son and one daughter, so the money left by the big merchant naturally had no share of them. They just asked them to take away their dowry and give each person a thousand taels of silver compensation.
In fact, the family was so "generous" because of the Nangong family's sake. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be divorced by the title of "slaughtering their husbands". There are so many examples of this, let alone compensation. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, these two sisters still did not suffer any losses.
Because the little Xu lives in Nangong Mansion, Chu Kexin and the others returned to Nangong Mansion "just for granted". Xu was kind-hearted and saw that the two sisters had a tragic fate, he really couldn't bear to keep them out. He just opened his mouth, and the others had already shown up in person, and there were not many.
In the past two years, the mother and daughter have become much more honest. Apart from going out to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month, they are hiding in their own yard.
...
Today, Mrs. Nangong had some urgent matters to deal with, so she asked her mother to come to visit Nangong Miao for her and bring some snacks that Nangong Miao liked that she made by herself.
Because Nangong Miao is about to give birth, it has been more than half a month. Mrs. Nangong takes time to sit in the two marquis' mansions almost every day. Nangong Miao jokes that her mother is even more nervous than her.
Chu Kexin and the others came to pay their respects, so they asked to go visit their cousin with their mother, saying that they had made some clothes for their nephew and took them over.
Both of them have proposed to visit Nangong Miao again, but they were rejected by Xu, because "the three-year filial piety period is not over, so it is not advisable to visit relatives and friends." Xu attached much importance to Nangong Miao's first child, how could these two people with ill-fated fate be defeated? Isn't it a good omen to tell everything?
In the past, as long as Xu did not allow it, they would not dare to go. After all, they lived in Nangong Mansion and only depended on their aunt Xu. Unexpectedly, this time... (To be continued.
