Chapter 121 Family Business
For the sake of the Queen Mother, even though the Zhou family was about to fall, the emperor still made a decree that before the affairs of the Zhou family could be found out, they could live in the Hou Mansion.
However, the emperor issued another decree, saying that Zhou Yan had forcibly married his wife.
The imperial court has regulations that prohibit marriage if there is sexual intercourse and humiliation.
If the man insults the woman's innocence first, the marriage can be cancelled.
Although there are legal provisions, most families can only swallow their anger for the sake of reputation.
The emperor promised and Princess Rong not to involve the Li family, so he casually pointed to the personal identification and found a young novice from the Zao Temple, and then issued an order to allow Zhou Yan and Chen Chunyao to separate, and also asked Chen's family to come forward first
Arrange Chen Chunyao properly.
The old man and Chen Duanyi were caught off guard.
I still have to go home and let grandma prepare to pick up people from Zhou's house.
The eldest grandma was very unhappy. She was afraid that bringing such a woman home would ruin the reputation of the whole family, so she hesitated and said: "If we take the twelfth aunt home at this time, we are afraid that people outside will say that we
At home, trying to curry favor with the powerful doesn’t work and I want to get away.”
The eldest man has never lost his temper with his daughter-in-law, but this time he slammed a double-ringed ceramic cup on the ground and cursed: "No matter what people outside say, our family is only doing things according to the imperial edict. Who dares to gossip outside?"
.What’s more, the Twelve Girls are originally our girls, so if the Chen family doesn’t care about her this time, who cares about her!”
The eldest grandma was so frightened that she shrank into a ball, but she was cursing in her heart.
Now I know the seriousness. Why didn't I guard against that dead old woman using such methods in the first place?
The eldest man sat on the table, stroking his forehead. When he saw the eldest grandma, he murmured: "I can't blame you for this matter. It's all your mother..."
Chen Duanyi was also very dissatisfied with the eldest wife.
However, Chen Duanyi still felt that it was inappropriate for the eldest father-in-law to scold the eldest wife in front of her daughter-in-law, so she stopped her and called her father.
The old man came back to his senses and realized that he had made a mistake. He waved his hand exhaustedly and said, "Hurry up and get the person back and place him carefully. It will be fine when your third aunt and the others arrive in the capital."
Grandma's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Chen's family has been in a delicate situation recently.
Although no real muscles and bones have been touched, some things are very bad.
Brother Bao said that it was best not to send him to the Li family to learn. Fortunately, Chen Chunge still wanted to show his affection and invited his husband to help.
The rumors in Beijing are slowly passing away.
It seems that the turmoil over the Immortal Shou Ointment is about to subside, but if the father-in-law and husband want to gain the emperor's trust again, they have to extend their reach to the Dingguo Palace.
At this time, something like this happened to Chen Chunyao. Although she would be ridiculed a few times even if she brought someone back, the third room had to accept her love and would definitely feel guilty.
The third aunt is a powerful person, but the third uncle is a brotherly person.
I will not treat myself in vain. When the time comes, I will be much easier to talk to if I let my husband take me to the Li family.
What's more, in the final analysis, this matter is more embarrassing for the third wife. There is a crazy woman in the family, and there is an unclean girl in the family who divorced and returned to her parents' home. It would be interesting to see how the third aunt can show off her elders' legacy in front of her.
!
After making the calculation, the eldest grandma suddenly felt that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, and the outcome was great, so she went ahead and took care of it.
When Chen Duanyi saw that the eldest grandma was gone, she said to the eldest father: "Father, something is wrong with this matter. The emperor ordered to punish the Zhou family, how could he let the twelve sisters live first? It can't be because of our Chen family.
face."
The Chen family only had a small reputation in Beijing, and had no status in front of the emperor.
The eldest master naturally knew this in his heart, and he also felt that Chen Chunyao's affairs were strange.
However, the elder didn't care about this at all at this time. He waved his hand in a distracted manner and said, "What's the big deal? Maybe I can go to the Duke of Dingguo and talk to him, but it's just a shame for my in-laws. I'm writing to you about this marriage."
Third uncle said, we still need to think about how to explain it."
When the elder said this, Chen Duanyi also felt that it made sense and never thought about it again.
The room was silent for a moment, and the old man sat there with a gloomy face.
Chen Duanyi knew that the eldest man must be complaining about the eldest wife again, so she said bravely: "Father, mother doesn't know that this marriage will..."
"You still want to speak for her!" The elder was furious, "I have told your mother a long time ago, asking her not to change her mind to the Queen Mother. No matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, she is the master of the harem after all, and the official business of the court must be
The emperor made the decision. In order to please the queen mother, she insisted on marrying the girl to the Zhou family.
Knowing clearly what the reputation of the Zhou family is, I gave her a lesson and thought she had given up her mind. Who knew she would do such a thing? In order to cover up for her, I wrote a half-truth and half-false letter to your third uncle.
I sent a letter saying that the Twelve Girls were in love with Zhou Yan, and that the Zhou family was reliable. Your third uncle
For the sake of my face, I agreed. Later, when your third aunt came to Beijing, I saw that I couldn’t keep it secret, so I could only tell the truth. Your third aunt is a generous person, and she swallowed her humility and agreed for the sake of the overall situation. But she said yes to me.
You should take good care of Twelve Girls. I have asked your mother several times to send people to Zhou's house to check on you.
, she turned a deaf ear to it. She also said that as long as you marry a person, you will be a member of another family, and the marriage will be considered successful. As a result, she has to go home and take care of a good girl. I don’t know what will happen in the future.
Think about it, what kind of face should I use to meet your uncle and aunt?"
If the third master is worried about Chen Chunyao's daughter, Chen Duanyi naturally believes it.
But if the third wife gave special instructions, Chen Duanyi would only find it funny.
However, Chen Duanyi knew that the eldest brother was very particular about brotherhood, and always thought that the eldest brother should behave like this, so she didn't dare to refute, and Nuonuo agreed.
Seeing that Chen Duanyi didn't speak to the eldest wife anymore, the eldest man felt a little calmer. He took a breath and said: "Your third uncle and the others are about to arrive in Beijing. Then you can help them cook. They have just arrived in the capital, and there must be many people."
You have to help me even when things are not going well. When your third uncle takes over the official position, things will probably be much better."
Chen Duanyi said hurriedly: "We are all one family, there is no reason for my son to sit by and watch."
The elder nodded, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and frowned, "Have you visited your mother? How is she recuperating?" He said in a very casual tone.
Chen Duanyi smiled bitterly as she listened.
Nowadays, my father only occasionally asks about the situation at my mother's side when he thinks of it.
It seemed that he had made up his mind not to let his mother come home.
However, my mother has caused so many things, so it’s no wonder that my father is angry. Even he doesn’t want his mother to come home and cause trouble again.
It's just that her mother is not here, and when the third aunt comes back, no one will be able to suppress her. If the third aunt relies on her status as an elder to point fingers and make things difficult for herself, it will really be a headache.
Chen Duanyi thought about these words in her mind, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, father. I just went to see her the day before yesterday. The doctor said that my mother is getting better recently."
