Chapter 332 Ji Ping takes a concubine
During the Chinese New Year, such a thing happened naturally alarmed Mrs. Lu.
Tang Jingxian has been cautious in the past few months, waiting for a smooth marriage from the Duke's Mansion next year. Who would have thought that such a miserable incident happened in a toilet. So many people saw the most embarrassing scene.
With Dou's cold and harsh whisper, Tang Jingxian was shocked and scared. He knelt on the ground, explained cryingly for a long time, and finally explained the matter clearly.
Lu Wulang felt very guilty and honestly explained.
The confessions of the two were consistent, and Jiuer and Lu Wulang's servant also proved that he had gone the wrong way because he was drunk. Tang Jingxian ordered Jiuer to go to the kitchen to sober up the soup.
After understanding the causes and consequences, Old Lady Lu's expression calmed down a little. When Tang Jingxian first entered the mansion, she deliberately tried to please her, but she was not unclear. But thinking that this child was pitiful, and she was dependent on others and was cautious every step. Fortunately, this girl is quite sensible, and she still likes her very much. If she is really unpredictable and seduces the young master in the mansion, she really can't stay.
Fortunately, things were not as bad as she thought.
But there is still a lesson to be learned.
She glared at Lu Wulang, "If you can't drink, don't drink it. If you don't have any alcohol, you won't bring someone by your side. You can even go the wrong way in your house. When you go back, you will think about your mistakes behind closed doors and don't get any more stuff in your cup in the future."
Lu Wulang felt that he was in a wrong position and did not dare to distinguish, so he quickly responded.
Mr. Lu also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said respectfully: "It's all because of my son's lack of discipline and disturbing his mother. Let's take it back and punish him well. Don't get angry, you'll be so angry."
Of course, Mrs. Lu also had to apologize.
She is the legitimate mother, and the illegitimate son made a mistake, so she is somewhat responsible.
"This matter is indeed Wulang Menglang, who frightened her cousin. Fortunately, Nan Zhen stopped her in time." She said this, paused, looked at Tang Jingxian who was crying with his head down, and said, "Those maids are ignorant, just listen to the wind and rain. Just scold them. Mother, don't be angry. But cousin, the hand is very injured, so you have to apply medicine as soon as possible."
A girl's house has no fingers, but her hands are cut in vain. It is not advisable to find a doctor, so the maids below will not be able to gossip about them.
The old lady asked Ji Wan to go over and see Tang Jingxian. A woman's hand is equivalent to a second face. If there is a scar, it will always be bad.
Lu Wulang's servant was punished, and the maids in the garden were also scolded, so the matter was exposed.
But by accident, just a misunderstanding, Tang Jingxian was not wrong. But when Dou arrived, she saw her in disheveled clothes hanging on Lu Wulang. This scene was really dazzling. In addition, Tang Jingxian's character of crying and seeking death made her very dislike. If she had not rescued her in time at that time, wouldn't Tang Jingxian be really dead? Wouldn't it be confirmed that she had committed suicide because of the exposure of her "aggression" with Lu Wulang? It is not that death can prove her innocence at any time. Rumors are like a knife, and even if it is a matter of shadow, it can be spread. What's more, there are so many eyes to look at it.
Is death useful?
This reminded Dou about his mother who was once sad and crying because of her father's change of heart. She was disgusted with Tang Jingxian's "makes a big deal" and became disgusted.
Tang Jingxian is innocent, but Ji Wan also understands Dou's personality. This is really a knot that cannot be explained in words, so she can only smile helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, you are from a general, have great ambitions, and disdain those red tape. But many women in this world are bound by ethics. If something happens, it is normal for her to panic and do this in one move. Not everyone can take reputation seriously as you do. Both of them have been engaged. If any rumors spread, the entire Duke's Mansion will be bleak."
According to her, Tang Jingxian was indeed innocent this time. However, Lu Wulang was not calm, otherwise how could he be tugging at a "maid"? It was obviously because he had some thoughts.
The Lu family men are bound by family precepts and dare not overcome their behavior, but they do not hinder their indulgence in their souls.
The so-called extremes will lead to reverse.
The longer you endure, the easier it is to explode.
If Lu Wulang met a maid that day, he would not have been able to get into the room. If Lu Wulang dared to speak, he would have to be taught a lesson. And the "maid" he liked would not have a good ending.
So after all, if his mind is not calm, his body will be unrighteous.
Dou also understood this principle. It’s just that some people are born to be indifferent to each other. She doesn’t have much affection for Tang Jingxian, and happened to run into the scene that made her most disgusted, which was a little unhappy.
"I won't talk about her."
She exposed the topic and said, "Isn't your sister going to get out of business too? Are you busy preparing her to make up for her recently?"
Ji Wan smiled, "I prepared Awen's makeup last year. It's Arong, she is pregnant again. I asked someone to prepare some supplements and I will send them to her in two days."
Dou was stunned, and then smiled.
"Really? That's a big happy event."
Ji Rong is the second child, and she is not as hard as the first child, and she doesn’t even have morning sickness. Her diet and sleep are not affected much. Ji Wan took her pulse and everything was normal.
Brother Yan and Sister Xuan are almost two years old. The two children are quiet and sweet-mouthed. When they see Ji Wan, they call their aunt in a silly voice. The two sisters sit opposite each other, Ji Rong covered her knees with a thin quilt. While talking to her sister, they look at the children squatting on the ground playing with glass balls.
"Sister, have you been to my uncle's house recently?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Although they are all in the capital, Ji's mansion is still a bit far from the inner city. Ji Wan has to take care of her children, so she rarely visits them except for the New Year.
The last time I went there, it was Jicheng’s wedding.
Ji Rong sighed lightly, "Brother has taken a concubine."
Ji Wan was stunned, then widened her eyes in surprise.
"How is that possible?"
Ji Rong talked about the whole story, "Didn't my elder brother go to suppress the bandits two years ago? I saved a girl named Tingxue. The girl was fatherless and motherless, and was an orphan. When my elder brother saw her, he took her back to be a maid. At that time, my elder sister-in-law was pregnant and took care of her. Tingxue was a duty and worked diligently. A few days ago, my elder brother went out for social activities and returned in the evening. When he came back, he was drunk and Tingxue, who was guarding his sister-in-law, went to help her. Who knew that my elder sister-in-law got up and saw it. The next day he decided to open her face and become a concubine."
Ji Wan was even more puzzled.
"Just just helped me..." She paused, "Brother, do you mean this?"
Ji Rong answered the question illegitimately, "My sister-in-law, like us, came from the countryside, but she is different from us. Her relatives are all in the north. After my brother joined the army, there were more and more strong people and broader vision. My sister-in-law felt ashamed in front of him and felt that she was not worthy of him. Even Tingxue was more knowledgeable than her. So..."
Ji Wan remembered that when she was in Yi Village, Hu Cui had such concerns before she married Ji Ping. But now that Ji Ping has not changed her mind, she has lost confidence in herself.
"Actually, my elder brother is very good to my sister-in-law. I heard from my aunt that my elder brother had an argument with my elder sister-in-law because of taking a concubine." Ji Rong frowned, "I think my elder sister-in-law is too careless. She pushed my elder brother out of this way. If my elder brother really had feelings for Tingxue in the future, it would be hard to stop it. The elder brother was too, and he didn't understand the hearts of women at all. My elder sister-in-law was sensitive and inferior, so he didn't even notice it. Both of them had three children, and they had a harmonious relationship over the years, but something happened suddenly at this time. Sometimes, I really don't understand what my elder sister-in-law thinks."
Anyway, she couldn't take the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the lead in taking a concubine to her husband.
Ge Tianyu was very nice to her and never had that thought. She thought it was very good. The matter between her cousin and her wife gave her some insights. Many times, husband and wife needed to communicate. Look at the third uncle and his wife, they had misunderstandings because of various suspicions, and it took her a full nine years to let go. She really didn't want her cousin and sister-in-law to follow in the footsteps.
But she didn't bother with her husband and wife, and she was always unhappy when she was holding onto her, so she couldn't help but tell her sister.
Ji Wan didn't say anything.
Hu Cui was a heart-wrenching problem, and some of her thoughts had preconceived ideas. Even if Ji Ping vowed to the sky to not let her down, she might not be relieved. Or, she heard some gossip, which catalyzed this long-depressed inferiority complex. Perhaps she felt that taking a concubine to Ji Ping was a generous and virtuous wife, and others could no longer pick out the stinger.
Why bother?
