Chapter 29 Borrowing a Knife to Murder, Fearing No Chaos (Part 2)
After dealing with the Yao family for so long, Xiao Bi's patience was almost exhausted.
There were too many things that could not be explained about Luo, and people who knew the inside story were unwilling to speak. She could only place her hope in those who had experienced those things, such as Qiao and the Yao in front of her.
Even if the two of them insist on their own opinions, they can still find some clues, which is much better than crossing the river by feeling for stones.
The main topic was finally introduced, but Xiao Bi did not dare to be careless. Besides curiosity, she was filled with regret, and there was no wave in her eyes.
Mrs. Yao was very understanding of her mood. It was normal for a young woman who had been married less than a month to feel some sympathy when she heard that her mother-in-law's wedding was so simple.
She gently held Xiao Bi's hand: "Although the princess married into the Duke's mansion for a short period of time, with your intelligence, it should not be difficult to see that the relationship between the old Duke and the old lady is not harmonious."
Xiao Bi nodded: "My grandfather is already so old, but he doesn't want to stay in the house to take care of himself. I guess that's why."
Yao curled her lips and said, "The princess doesn't know something. The two elders are already doing well now, but they used to be very troublesome. They are simply incompatible with each other.
Although the middle minister of the mansion is in the hands of the old lady, the old prince has always made the final decision on major matters in the mansion.
In the eyes of the old lady, the biggest thing is the marriage of her children.
Therefore, she had long secretly made up her mind that she would never let the old county man interfere with the three marriages.
At that time, I had just grown my hair, so I shouldn't be in a hurry to get married, but my father couldn't resist the old lady, so I got married into the county's official residence less than two months after the engagement.
By the time the old Duke returns home after winning the battle, it will have been almost three months since I got married to your uncle."
Xiao Bi silently sympathized with the old lady.
After being married to the old county man for decades and having three children, she still didn't understand her husband at all.
It is true that the old Duke's heart is for Xiu Xiu, but he is by no means a hard-hearted person.
As long as the old lady knows how to be satisfied, the old county prince will not lack the respect she deserves, and as time goes by, she will naturally develop some affection for her.
Even if it is not a deep and unforgettable feeling for embroidery, it is still a gentle and flowing feeling.
But she wanted to fight with a man who had been dead for decades. She was blinded by jealousy and even lost her most basic judgment.
As early as the day when the old Duke registered the Duke in Xiu Xiu's name, he gave up Huan Song, his eldest son.
It's not that I don't regard him as my son, but that I have given up hope for him.
He would no longer demand Huan Song as an heir, and naturally he would not interfere with his marriage.
However, the old lady thought that she had the upper hand because she had arranged her eldest son's marriage single-handedly and did not even give the old prince a chance to express his opinion.
It's really pitiful and ridiculous!
"I heard that my father is already married. My grandmother must be having trouble with my grandfather again, right?" she asked.
"How can we not make trouble? The old lady smashed all the furnishings in Rongxi Hall.
I was already pregnant with your eldest brother at that time, and I didn’t dare to get close to her, for fear of accidentally hurting the child."
Xiao Bi was a little disappointed.
Mrs. Yao is a newly married bride. No matter how scheming she is, it will be difficult for her to establish her own connections in the house.
Without connections and without getting close to the old lady, how much could she know about Luo's situation?
Seeing that she was a little languid, Mrs. Yao hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey! You see, I am really old, and I am going too far while talking.
The Duke and his second younger brother and sister are a perfect match regardless of their status and appearance. No matter how dissatisfied the old lady is, there is nothing she can do.
But the Duke was her biological son after all, so she wanted to ask why the marriage was so hasty.
Originally it wasn't a big deal, but the old county man was a little secretive about it.
It’s just what Military Advisor Pang said. If the Duke and his second brother and sister don’t get married on that day, they will have to wait until three years later for another auspicious occasion, so they have to get married in the army.”
Go to hell!
Xiao Bi's lungs almost exploded with anger.
Why are these magicians appearing everywhere?!
She never believed in these fortune-telling things.
Especially this Military Advisor Pang who appeared out of nowhere.
If his words are to be believed, wouldn't Duke Huan and Mr. Luo get married in the army according to his wishes and still not end up with any good results?
This is obviously the old county man's excuse.
Mr. Yao doesn't believe it, the old lady doesn't believe it, and of course she, Mr. Xiao Jiu, doesn't believe it either.
Seeing that her face looked a little ugly, Yao Shi explained: "Commander Pang has served under the old Duke for decades, so he shouldn't talk nonsense."
Just when Xiao Bi was about to retort, Qingzhao came in and replied, saying that lunch was ready and invited the princess and the eldest lady to sit down.
Mrs. Yao smiled and pulled her up: "Auntie is going to bother you again. Even your uncle said that the food in the eldest house has been piled up recently."
Xiao Bi was amused by her and followed her into the side hall.
Yao was so focused on pleasing her that he even forgot about eating and not speaking, and kept making witty remarks during the dinner.
It's a pity that Xiao Bi only used less than half of the bowl of rice and then gave it up.
Yao has a headache.
The two of them ate together not once or twice, and she knew very well how much Xiao Bi had eaten.
This little girl is still thinking about Luo's affairs, should she...
"Auntie, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Please accompany me for a walk outside." Xiao Bi wiped her hair with a silk handkerchief and stood up.
"Do you want the government doctor to come and take a look?" Yao asked with concern.
"No, just take a walk and you'll be fine."
The two walked out of the side hall hand in hand.
After walking dozens of steps along the flower path, Yao suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Princess, I suddenly remembered something."
Xiao Bi stopped and turned to look at her: "What did Auntie think of?"
Yao said: "I just saw that you had a poor appetite and a bad mood, so I remembered the time before and after my second sibling found out she was pregnant."
"What should I say?" Xiao Bi urged.
"The second younger brother and sister are beautiful and have a good temperament. Although they come from a general family, they are more elegant than girls from civil servant families.
She treats people very well, and even if she has a problem with the Duke, she never takes her anger out on others.
Even Mrs. Qiao... Speaking of this, it's strange that she, who is so good, would like to have such a person to irritate her eyes."
Xiao Bi wanted to hit someone again.
Can't this woman speak more simply?
Little did Yao know that he had walked on the edge of danger for the second time.
She sighed for a long time, and then continued: "Not long after Mr. Qiao entered the house, the second sibling found out that she was pregnant.
I don't know if it's because of her unhappiness, but she also doesn't think about food or tea, and she looks sad all day long and is full of worries.
At that time, my fetal condition was already stable, so I often went to untie her, but I found..."
While they were talking, Huan Yu strode towards them.
"Xiaojiu——" he shouted loudly.
Xiao Bi was about to vomit blood.
Brother, can't you come back later?
