Chapter 139: Side Concubine
Just take care of Madam Zhou, Qingwu's family naturally has no problem. The princess's mansion is simple and there are relatively few maids. Their family has several empty rooms in the small courtyard. You can live there after cleaning up.
I heard that it was the princess's former nanny, but Qingwu's family did not dare to neglect it. They asked Madam Zhou to live in Qingwu's house, and Qingwu squeezed with his mother.
Madam Zhou thought she was just staying for one night, but she didn't expect that the next day, no one asked her to leave. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Her son didn't know what was going on outside, so she was interested in asking, but she didn't dare to act rashly.
Qing Wuniang was a little sensible and said a few words indirectly that Madam Zhou had no intention of hiding this matter, and she didn't think so much about it in her anxious situation.
When Qing Wuniang learned that Madam Zhou asked to go to the princess's mansion because of the case, her mind started to move. After half a day of calculation, she pretended to inadvertently told Madam Zhou that her man was wronged and wronged.
Since Madam Zhou was a smart man, she soon came back to her senses and began to think.
For three consecutive days, no one said she could go home. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the princess had something to say, but she didn't dare to make random guesses.
At night, Xin'er suddenly told her a message that her son was fine. The Governor's yamen had found out that Zhang Bao's injuries were nothing serious. He was just pretending to be paralyzed and blackmailed. After the master of the Governor's yamen found out, he beat Zhang Bao hard forty chokes, and then the false paralysis turned into real paralysis.
Madam Zhou was ecstatic and wanted to kowtow to the princess to thank the princess, but was stopped by Xin'er. She said that the princess was a little upset these days and asked her to go home first and kowtow again the next day.
After Su Yiqing learned that Madam Zhou had left, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't do anything at all. She just asked Madam Liang to help go to the governor's office to inquire. Madam Liang's relative helped manage her cloth shop. Her colleagues might have some understanding of the case.
As a result, Madam Liang's relatives just asked about the case. When the governor's yamen heard that it was someone from the Princess's Mansion came to ask about the case, they panicked. Due to the fire in the Princess' Mansion, their governor's yamen were scolded as a duty and were criticized by all parties. This case happened before the fire, but in many cases, a woman who was driven out by a rich family said that she was kind-hearted and released, but now in this world, it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree, and she doesn't do anything. She comes out to show herself? Such a wealthy slave is so arrogant that she is nothing when she leaves the wealthy mansion. The old master will not drive out anyone when she still thinks about the old love, but this kind of slave will be gone, but there is still the money she makes on weekdays. They don't plan to do anything, just want to squeeze in the oil.
However, the people from the Princess's Mansion personally asked, and they heard that Madam Zhou was the princess's tutor. Madam was very worried. The people in the Governor's yamen were already frightened because of the affairs of the two palaces. At this time, they had a ghost in their hearts. They were afraid that someone would be caught, so they quickly cut off the mess and released Madam Zhou's son. They didn't care whether Zhang Bao was really paralyzed or falsely paralyzed. They pulled it out and beat forty boards. They then warned them to use the money to clear the silk shop owners of Madam Zhou's family out of the capital, and told them to keep a low profile and do some tricks, otherwise Zhang Bao's affairs would be a lesson.
Just a servant from the Princess's Mansion came forward to inquire about it, and the case changed so much. No wonder many servants would stay in the powerful and powerful family as slaves.
Since she didn't make any great efforts from it, she wouldn't mention anything else. It was just a simple task, so she didn't think too much about it.
After a few days, the incident at the Prince Cheng's Mansion was full of thunder and rain. I heard that I finally caught a few big thieves, and during the pursuit, the other party resisted vigorously and was rectified on the spot.
Su Yiqing intuition that this matter should not be floating around, but she lived in the inner house and was almost isolated from the world. She was really blinded by a few servants with their own thoughts.
But after thinking about it, maybe she was thinking too much and just a neighbor next door who didn't interact with each other. What happened didn't matter much to her. The Princess Cheng County has never been here since she first submitted a visit to the post. Such a powerful family always has its own way to solve the problem.
However, Su Yiqing soon found that she was thinking too simply.
After a few days, Madam Zhou came to the princess's mansion in the name of kowtowing and thanking her, and told Su Yiqing about it.
The Kang family of the Prince of Cheng County was preparing to marry a daughter to Lian Yufeng.
The Kang family is also a famous family. Even if their daughter is born in a vassal, she will not be an ordinary concubine. I think she is going to be the concubine's position, and she may even be a fair wife. I heard that the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty are different. The prince can marry several concubines, regardless of size.
Mama Zhou’s house opened a cloth shop. The news was told by a daughter-in-law who came to her shop to make clothes. The daughter-in-law’s daughter was a maid in the Kang family and was a maid next to the lady. Such maids can usually hear a lot of people. If they don’t have a very strict mouth, they will go home and say...
Su Yiqing was shocked. She did not doubt the accuracy of the source of the news from Mama Zhou, but she didn't expect that she would care in the end. Is this the Kang family's idea or Lian Yufeng's?
At this moment, the first thought in her mind was that no, she could not care about how many concubines Yufeng took and how many women she slept in, but the concubine's wife was not allowed, she would never allow it, not to succeed, let alone the cause of this incident... This is really disgusting.
"Does my nanny know the details of the Kang family?" Su Yiqing suppressed her anger and asked Aunt Zhou slowly.
Madam Zhou is a very thoughtful person. Not to mention now, even if she thought she would marry Su Yiqing, she would have found out all the powerful people who could be related to it.
Prince Cheng Chen Zhou is a true royal relative and noble family. His grandfather and the late emperor were half-brothers. Because his father was mediocre, his title was slightly reduced when it was passed down to his generation. Prince Cheng himself was very capable. Now many people in the royal family only follow his leader.
Prince Cheng has always been selfless, but there is a small stain. This happened more than ten years ago. It is said that Prince Cheng fell in love with the current Princess Kang of Cheng at first sight, but he had already married the legitimate concubine and the eldest son, so he could only ask Kang as his concubine.
Kang's eldest daughter, and the Kang family is also a prominent family. They originally disagreed, but Prince Cheng was determined to take the weight and told the empress dowager to put pressure on the Kang family, allowing various favorable conditions, such as asking for an imperial edict before entering the door, etc., and using both soft and hard, the Kang family dared not to oppose the royal family, so they had to agree with grievance.
However, on the eve of the door, Prince Cheng's legitimate concubine died of illness.
At that time, there were many rumors, saying that the Kang family was dissatisfied with the eldest daughter as a side room, so they used tricks to kill the legitimate concubine of Prince Cheng. They had a quarrel over the family of Prince Kang's legitimate concubine, but in the end they were left unresolved and there was no legitimate concubine. Kang was naturally carried into the door by a big red sedan chair and was enthroned as Prince Cheng by imperial edict.
It is related to the secret of the royal family, and no one dares to say too much. However, Chen Xin, the eldest son born to the princess of the former Cheng County, was taken into the palace and raised with the princes. The reason at the beginning was that he thought that the concubine favored by the late emperor had no children and wanted to enjoy the joy of having fun with grandchildren, so he brought Chen Xin close to the palace to raise him, and he also had comfort in his old age. However, later the concubine passed away, Chen Xin still educated her with the princes and did not return to the Prince Cheng County Mansion.
All of this is full of doubts. After many years, the court has been in a magnificent manner, and no one will stare at something that has nothing to do with him.
As for the character of the Princess Cheng County, Kang, who saw the truth and heard the truth, only said that after she entered the door, all the concubines of Prince Cheng were sent out. Prince Cheng did not get involved in other women after she left her. Even if she had no status, no one could give birth to a man or a woman.
From this we can see that Kang's personality will never be as pure as a person.
Hearing this, Su Yiqing pondered for a long time and asked Madam Zhou to continue inquiring and see if the Kang family really wanted to marry her daughter. If it was just a misunderstanding, that would be fine. If not, don't blame her for being rude.
The Kang family at this time.
Mrs. Kang Da, Mrs. Lin, came out of her daughter Kang Wei's room, turned around and went to Mr. Kang's study.
When Master Kang saw her coming in, he said, "Have Weier had eaten?"
Lin wiped his eyes and said, "No, I've been persuaded to drink only one bowl of soup, but Master, is there really no room for this matter to be returned? Weier is your biological daughter."
Mr. Kang shook his head and showed bitterness on his face.
Lin's tears fell down and said, "It's said that there are countless beauties in Prince Ding's backyard. Why do you insist on sending your daughter in? Prince Ding likes beauties. We can spend a lot of money to buy ten or eight stunning beauties to send in. Why do you have to ask Weier? Weier has been timid since childhood. Princess Ningfu's mother is known to everyone. Princess Ningfu's temperament is not much better. If Weier goes there..."
Lin said as he choked up.
"It's not that bad. Even if you are a concubine, you are still a precious concubine. Besides, the Prince Ding Mansion is separated from the Prince Ding Mansion. Princess Ningfu almost never goes to the Prince Ding Mansion, and he can't take care of Wei'er." Master Kang comforted with a bitter look on his face. He was not willing to be a concubine. But the Kang family's family is now in urgent need of a way of wealth, and the eldest daughter Kang Qiang did such a vicious thing. If it was revealed, it would be impossible to kill the entire Kang family.
Lin also knew the inside story and sighed inwardly, could this be retribution?
She was afraid when she thought about what happened back then, but when she thought of her daughter's worried face, she couldn't help but say, "Master, I won't say anything anymore, but it's just a concubine who doesn't really feel wronged. Even if she sees Qiang'er's face, she can't be a concubine. Didn't she say that she could be a concubine before?"
"This Prince Ding is not the prince of my dynasty. The enthronement of the concubine was approved by the Great Zhou. It is not easy for Prince Ding to return to the court for no reason." When Mr. Kang said this, his eyes flashed a little. In fact, he also suspected that this was just an excuse. Perhaps Lian Yufeng wanted to get subsequent benefits, so that his daughter would be the concubine. (To be continued.
