Jia Xie saw that Jia Feng and Mother Feng did not speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Master,
What's wrong,
Aren't you happy? "Jia Feng could not stand the atmosphere.
She asked awkwardly.
"Ha,
Since you want to have a check-up, then go ahead.
No matter what the result is, I won't use medicine. "Jia Xie felt sick of it.
The Feng family had already asked the imperial physician to examine him once.
There was no problem with his body, but they still wanted to continue the examination. Did they really think that Rongguo Province was easy to bully?
Jia Xie glanced at Jia Feng.
It was better to let Madam continue to take care of this family.
After Lian 'er got married,
Lian's daughter-in-law would take care of it.
Jia Feng was not suitable.
Jia Xie was still afraid of Jia Feng's mother.
But with Jia Feng's behavior today, he was even more afraid of her.
If the Feng family did this again,
How could he still treat Jia Feng as his family? He felt that even if Jia Feng's mother continued to favor his second son,
He would accept it.
At least he did not let outsiders benefit.
When Lian 'er got married, Lian's daughter-in-law would naturally take care of him. Lian' er was now more than eight years old and would be able to get married in a few years. But before that, he had to secure the position of Heir Apparent.
Jia Feng and Mother Feng were relieved when Jia Xie agreed. However, they did not know that although Jia Xie agreed, Jia Xie had made other terrible decisions in his heart.
Soon, the doctor brought by Mother Feng came to Rongqing Tang. Jia Xie reached out and let him take his pulse. The result was still the same. Master Hou was very healthy and there was no problem at all.
Hearing what the doctor said, Jia Xie said, "Mother-in-law, if you are worried and feel that this doctor has been bribed by me, you can continue to bring the doctor here. I will cooperate." Why did they do this? Didn't they think that the imperial physician in the Imperial Institute of Medicine was not trustworthy? It turned out that in the Feng family's heart, the Jia family was so powerful that they could bribe everyone in the Imperial Institute of Medicine.
Mother Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just so that the two of you can have a child earlier. After all, if you delay any longer, Jing Niang will also be old. Later, this doctor will prescribe medicine for childbirth."
The Jia Xie looked at Mother Feng and sneered: "Is that so? Thank you for your kindness, Mother-in-law. I still have matters to attend to so I won't be accompanying you. I'll let Jing Niang accompany you." With that, the Jia Xie left Rongqing Hall.
Seeing that Jia Xie was about to leave, Madam Feng and Mama Feng did not dare to stop her. After Jia Xie left, Mama Feng continued to confirm with the doctor, "Are you sure that the Marquis is fine?"
"It's true, madam. I've seen so many patients. Master Hou's body is really healthy, and there's really no problem in that aspect." The doctor was really helpless. Obviously, there was no problem. He couldn't make up the illness. He just saw that Master Hou's face was very ugly. No man could bear being questioned by his own in-laws, let alone Master Hou.
"Thank you, doctor. You can leave now. I'll come to thank you another day," Mama Feng said quickly.
The doctor hurriedly left. He didn't want to know the secrets of these rich families. He was just an ordinary person. Although he practiced medicine to save lives, for these rich families, it was not worth mentioning. If he did not do it well, he would end up with his head separated from his body.
"Mother, look at you. You've already checked once, and there's no problem with Master's body at all. You have to continue to check again, which has already made Master unhappy. Just now, Master's face was very ugly. I've been married to Master for so many years, but I've never seen Master so angry. What should I do?" When the doctor left, there were only Jia Feng, Mama Feng and their confidant maidservants left. Jia Feng finally couldn't bear it and began to blame her mother. "Who do you think I am?
"Who do you think I'm doing this for? If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't be bothered to care about these things. Son-in-law, your wife had two sons. Although the eldest son died young, she still had two sons. It's obvious. What about you? You've been married to Master Hou for so many years, but you haven't even given birth to a little girl. What will others say about you? They will say that you're a hen that can't lay eggs." Mother Feng reached out and poked her daughter's forehead. Who was she doing this for?
Jia Feng lowered her head and didn't speak, but tears fell down.
"Now you know how to cry. How many times did your elder sister remind you to raise that little brat Jia Lian? Even if you can't give birth to a child, you won't have so much pressure. She only said that for the sake of the child, you'd better not have a child now, lest it's not good for Jia Lian. Your image in the outside world suddenly changed. You're definitely the best stepmother. Even if you don't have a child, that little brat Jia Lian will be grateful to you when he grows up. But what about you? You're so stubborn. You refused to take him back. You just had to be angry. Now you've gambled yourself. "Mama Feng said resentfully.
Jia Xie was furious and went directly to Mama Jia's courtyard.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mama Jia gave Yuan Yang a look. Yuan Yang understood and took all the servants away, leaving Jia Xie and Mama Jia in the room to talk.
"Mrs. Feng's mother is here. Didn't you accompany her?" Mama Jia asked.
"I did. Old Madam, Mrs. Feng is incompetent. You should take care of the housekeeping. When Lian 'er marries a wife, Lian' er's wife will take care of it. You'll have to work harder now," Jia Xie said.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Mama Jia asked quickly.
"Today, Mother-in-law brought a doctor to take my son's pulse again," Jia Xie said.
"How dare they! Does the Feng family really think that there's no one in the Jia family?" Mama Jia slapped the table beside her. She was also very angry. "Even if you were in the wrong first, we've already given them face once. It seems that the Feng family thinks that our Jia family's power has declined after your father's death. It's not enough to trample on our face once, but they still want to trample on us a second time. This time, they didn't find anything. Is there going to be a third time, or a fourth time?"
Jia Xie didn't speak. He thought the same in his heart. The Feng family had really gone too far.
"In that case, let's see who's better." Mama Jia sneered. Originally, she didn't want to argue so much because of the Empress's face. Now, the more you treat people well, the more they want to take advantage of you.
"Mother, I'll submit a petition tomorrow to request that Lian 'er be made the heir," Jia Xie said.
"Will His Majesty agree to this?" Mama Jia knew that His Majesty had rejected the previous petition.
"I still want to try," Jia Xie said.
"Okay." Since Jia Xie wanted to try, she had no problem with it. This family would belong to Lian 'er in the future. "By the way, let's have dinner together tonight. I have two pretty girls here. I'll give them to you at dinner," Mama Jia said to Jia Xie in advance.
Jia Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "I understand."
Hearing Jia Xie's response, Mama Jia was relieved. She said, "Lian 'er will inherit your position in the future. Now that he's established, you can also give birth to a few younger brothers and sisters for him to support in the future. No matter if it's a legitimate son or a concubine's son, if they're useful, they can stay and be Lian' er's right-hand men. If they're useless, they'll have to be separated.
They won't hinder you. "" Yes, "Jia Xie said. Compared to the East Prefecture, where there were no concubine's children, Rongguo Province was different. Whether it was the old Duke Rongguo or the previous Duke Rongguo, they were all concubine's children. Rongguo Province had a clear understanding of concubine's children.
In the evening, Mama Jia invited Mama Feng to have dinner together. Originally, men and women should eat separately. However, among the three women present, all of them were Jia Xie. There was no need to avoid the taboo, so Jia Xie ate with them.
"She 'er said that Mama Jia has invited a doctor to check on She' er's body. Thank you for your trouble," Mama Jia said with a smile.
"In the end, Mother Jing is a piece of flesh that fell from my stomach. I'm also anxious. She's already in her early twenties, but she still doesn't have any children. As her mother, I'm worried," Mother Feng said with a worried expression.
"Mama Jia is indeed a kind mother. Our She 'er only has one child, Lian' er, and he's still in the East Prefecture. He's really empty. I originally thought that they were still young, but after so many years, there's still no news. Yuan Yang, bring them here." Mama Jia had a smile on her face as she looked at Mama Jia and Mama Feng. Who wasn't a kind mother? You're thinking about your daughter, I have to think about my son, right?
"Yes." Yuan Yang brought them over.
Mama Jia and Mama Feng looked at the two beautiful girls behind Yuan Yang, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
"Bow to your Madam. In the future, you'll follow me and serve me well," Mama Jia said with a smile.
"Madam Duke Rongguo, what are you doing?" Her bad premonition came true, and some anger appeared in Mama Feng's eyes. However, she didn't have any good excuses to refute. Jing Niang had been married to Jia Xie for so many years, but she hadn't had any children. If her mother-in-law wanted to bestow a concubine, even if the Empress came forward, there was no excuse to take the concubine back.
"These two girls are good at giving birth, and their colors are also outstanding. After so many years after Lian 'er was born, She' er's harem didn't have any children. She 'er is a piece of flesh that fell from my womb. As his mother, I'm worried. When these two girls give birth to She' er's children, they will still have to call Jing Niang mother. Don't worry, Jing Niang won't be taken advantage of." Whose children weren't treasured? It seems like you're saying that your children are more noble. Mama Jia ridiculed in her heart. Aren't you suspecting Eldest Brother? So what if I bestow two concubines? I still want to let these two concubines give birth to children. When the time comes, let's see if your face hurts.
"Old Madam," Madam Jia Feng was a little flustered. Jia Xie did have some concubines in his harem, but those concubines were bestowed by Mama Jia before she married. Jia Xie himself didn't like them very much, so he rarely went. Madam Jia Feng also rarely put those concubines in her eyes. Now that Mama Jia had bestowed concubines, and she had done it in front of her, she was a little at a loss.
Madam Jia Feng turned her gaze to Jia Xie. She had no reason to refuse. She only hoped that Jia Xie would open his mouth to refuse. As long as Jia Xie opened his mouth to refuse, the old madam would never bestow concubines again.
"Since it's bestowed by Old Madam, then this son will accept it. Thank you, Old Madam," Jia Xie said. It wasn't that he didn't see Madam Jia Feng's gaze, but he still chose to accept it. There were some things that you had to be taught a lesson before you knew how to restrain yourself.
Mama Jia nodded and said to the two maidservants, "Serve your master well and give birth to a child as soon as possible."
When Madam Jia Feng saw that Jia Xie had accepted the concubines, she only felt that her heart was about to break. However, her mother was still fine. After all, Papa Feng was not a devoted man. There were many concubines and concubines in the family. Moreover, she was very clear that by bestowing concubines today, she was expressing her dissatisfaction. It was just two concubines. There were many ways to deal with them. The most important thing now was to give birth to a child.
Madam Jia Feng and Mama Feng were definitely not in the mood to enjoy a good dinner.
In the evening, Madam Jia Feng sent her mother to the carriage. Mama Feng grabbed Madam Jia Feng's hand and said, "It's just two concubines. It doesn't matter. Just treat them as those women in the harem in the past. The most important thing is to give birth to your own child."
Madam Jia Feng nodded silently, but her heart was burning with jealousy.
After sending Mama Feng off, Madam Jia Feng returned to Rongqing Hall and asked where Jia Xie was. In the end, a maidservant told her that Jia Xie was with the new concubine that the Old Madam had bestowed upon her. Madam Jia Feng could not help but wave her hand and sweep the teacups and teapot on the table to the ground, making a loud noise.
"Madam, Sister Yuan Yang, who serves the Old Madam, is here." Qing 'er came to report.
Madam Jia Feng suppressed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to ask someone to clean up the floor, Yuan Yang came in behind Qing 'er. Madam Jia Feng was angry again. In the end, she could not do anything in front of Yuan Yang. "Miss Yuan Yang, you are here. Did the Old Madam send you here? What's the matter?" Madam Jia Feng's voice was very stiff.
Yuanyang's eyes swept across the floor. She immediately understood that this person was probably angry just now.
"Madam, please lift your foot and let me clean up. It's all my fault. I was careless and bumped into the table and dropped the teacups on the floor. Please punish me." Lan 'er, another maidservant of Madam Jia Feng, stood up and said.
Hearing Lan 'er help her out, Madam Jia Feng's expression became slightly better. She said, "Be careful next time. Clean it up."
"Yes." Lan 'er smiled. Qing' er was the Old Madam's dowry. She was born in the Old Madam's house. Although they were both the Old Madam's maidservants, the Old Madam still trusted Qing 'er more. Therefore, if Qing' er wanted to become the Old Madam's confidante, she had to seize every opportunity. One day, the Old Madam would use her more than the dowry maidservant.
Yuan Yang saw that Madam Jia Feng's expression had eased a lot. She smiled in her heart. This maidservant really knew how to cause trouble. Since that was the case, she would help her again. "Madam, this time I am here on the Old Madam's orders. I want you to take out the matching tiles and the key. The Old Madam and the Old Madam have discussed it. In order to make it easier for the Old Madam to bear a child, you don't need to work too hard.
"What? This is the Old Madam's order? "Madam Jia Feng suddenly stood up. She was so angry that she felt dizzy.
"Of course it is the Old Madam's order. Otherwise, the Old Madam would not take care of such things. After all, the Old Madam is the Old Madam's mother. The Old Madam is the Old Madam's mother. The Old Madam loves the Old Madam and the Old Madam loves the Old Madam so much that she can only continue to help." Yuan Yang smiled.
When Lan 'er heard this news, she suddenly felt happy. Qing' er was going to be miserable. The Old Madam was angry. Since the Old Madam brought Yuan Yang in, Qing 'er would not be able to get away with it.
Lan 'er looked at the stunned Madam Jia Feng and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister Yuan Yang, you see, it's already late. The Old Madam will personally deliver it to the Old Madam tomorrow."
Jia Feng came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Miss Yuan Yang, I will personally send it to the old lady tomorrow. After all, things like the token and the key are so important. It's better for me to go there personally."
Yuan Yang glanced at Lan 'er. Forget it, they are all the Old Madam's people. This time, I will let you get away with it. "Alright, I will go back and tell the Old Madam that the Old Madam will personally deliver it tomorrow. This servant will not disturb the Old Madam any longer.
Madam Jia Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
After Yuan Yang left, Madam Jia Feng looked at Lan 'er and said, "In the end, you are smart."
"It's only one night. Madam, you should think of a way to keep the matching tiles and the key." Lan 'er reminded her.
"Right, how can I keep them?" Madam Jia Feng felt a headache coming on. She thought of her mother and said, "I will write a letter to her now and ask her for an idea. Otherwise, I will have to hand them over tomorrow morning." But did her mother have an answer? Madam Jia Feng did not know. Even now, she did not understand how things had turned out this way. It had happened so quickly that she was not prepared for it.
Madam Jia Feng and Mother Feng were both women. They did not know how important it was to a man. This was not just a matter of taking his pulse again. It was a matter of a man's dignity.
Madam Jia Feng immediately wrote a letter to Mother Feng, but Qing 'er reminded her, "Madam, it is forbidden to go outside at night. Even if you write a letter, you won't be able to hand it over."
Madam Jia Feng was disappointed. Did she really have to hand it over? Suddenly, Madam Jia Feng glared at Qing 'er. As Lan' er expected, Madam Jia Feng vented her anger on Qing 'er. "Go to the corner and kneel down. What kind of rule is this? You brought people in without permission."
Qing 'er felt wronged. Madam Jia Feng had said before that if it was the Old Madam's maidservant, there was no need to inform the Old Madam. Although she felt wronged, Qing' er obediently went to the corner and knelt down. Madam Jia Feng was taken care of by Lan 'er.
He was not happy that Jia Xie was with the new concubine. After the concubine fell asleep, he got up and walked in the courtyard under the moonlight. Every time he did this, he missed the Jia Chang Clan even more.
The next day, Jia Xie handed the memorial to the Emperor.
When the Ministry of Personnel received the memorial, they did not dare to delay and directly presented it to the Emperor. The Emperor looked at the memorial that Jia Xie handed over to him again and frowned slightly. This was because he had received this memorial once before, but he did not approve it at that time. After all, other families' memorials to the Jia family's memorial would be kept for many years. It was not good for the Jia family to approve it too frequently. In addition, in Ningguo Province, when Jia Jing was still alive, the title of nobility had been inherited by Jia Zhen. This had already caused many nobles to protest. Therefore, he did not approve Jia Xie's memorial to Jia Lian. The Retired Emperor also knew about this matter.
However, although he did not approve it, he still called Jia Xie over to ask about the situation. He also said that Jia Lian was still young and that he should approve it after he established himself. He did not expect that Jia Xie would submit it again this time. Should he approve it? Tu Chen was a little hesitant.
Tu Chen thought for a while and asked Dai Quan to summon Jia Xie into the palace and ask about the situation again.
"Didn't we agree last time that we would wait until Jia Lian established himself?" Tu Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Lian 'er is already more than eight years old and can stand on his own." When it came to saving face, Jia Xie naturally would not tell the Emperor that his in-laws did not trust him. He first asked the imperial physician to check his body, then asked the outside doctor to check his body again. He was really worried about Lian' er's future status because he was so eager to give birth to a child. After all, Jia Xie had a sister, the Empress, and the Emperor was her official brother-in-law.
"Although Lian 'er is already more than eight years old, it does not mean that he can establish himself now. Moreover, you have not seen Lian' er since you came back to the capital. How do you know what he looks like now?" It was not difficult to confer the title of Crown Prince, but it was difficult to stop the other nobles from talking. This was difficult to do. One did not worry about the scarcity but about the uneven distribution. This was not good for the country.
Jia Xie was silent and did not speak.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't you tell me? Although I am the Emperor, my father and your father are good friends. In terms of personal relationship, we are brothers-in-law, "Tu Chen said.
After thinking for a while, Jia Xie told the truth and his worries.
After hearing it, Tu Chen was a little speechless. His mother-in-law and sister-in-law were really stupid. No wonder Jia Xie hurriedly came to ask for the title of Crown Prince for Jia Lian. "Last time, I told you that many nobles in the court have asked for the title of Crown Prince for ten or twenty years, but it was not approved. If the title is approved by the Jia family, it will not worry about the scarcity but about the uneven distribution. What will others think? I understand your worries and I know that you are a kind father, but I can't approve this for the time being."
Jia Xie did not speak. In fact, he was just trying again this time. After what happened last time, he also knew that the probability of success was not very high. Everything depended on human effort. If he did not even try, how would he know that it would not work?
Tu Chen sighed. This brothers-in-law really knew how to give him a difficult problem. The Duke Rongguo had only been gone for three years, and the mourning period of Rongguo Province had just ended not long ago. If he did not approve the first title, others would think that Rongguo Province was weak. "You really know how to give me a difficult problem. I am afraid that this time, you did not even tell Jia Jing about it. You just directly submitted the title because of your anger. I promise you, after Jia Er gets married, no matter when you submit the title again, I will approve it. How about it?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have made things difficult for you," Jia Xie said.
"Forget it. You can go back." Tu Chen was a little helpless.
"Then I will take my leave." Jia Xie bowed and left.
After Jia Xie left, Tu Chen thought for a while and stood up. He said to Yang Sheng, "Let's go to the Empress' palace." The matter was not resolved yet.
The Empress saw Tu Chen suddenly come over and quickly bowed. She said, "Why did Your Majesty come over at this time?" The Empress was surprised and also confused. Usually, at this time, the Emperor was in the imperial study reading the titles.
"I came to see the Empress. I just saw a special title today," Tu Chen sat down and said.
"Your Majesty, the imperial harem should not interfere with politics," the Empress smiled and said softly.
"It's not about court affairs. It can be considered my private affairs, so there's no harm in telling you. Today, the Ministry of Appointments received a memorial from Jia She, asking Jia Lian to be conferred the title of heir." The Empress' heart trembled. Her sister? The Empress was a little worried. Why did they want to be the Heir again? Didn't the Emperor refuse the last time? At this time, a maidservant came in with tea. The Empress stood up and personally put the tea on the table next to the Emperor.
"I refused, but I also promised that after Jia Lian gets married, no matter when Jia Xie comes again, I will approve it." Tu Chen took a sip of tea and said.
The Empress didn't know how to respond. She didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.
"Does Your Majesty know why Jia Xie came again?" Tu Chen put down the teacup and suddenly turned to look at the Empress. He looked straight into the Empress' eyes, as if he wanted to get something from the Empress' eyes.
"This … I don't know." The Empress said.
"The second day after Jia Xie came back from Jinling, she took your sister back to the Feng family. After that, your mother asked the imperial physician to check the Jia Xie's pulse. A few days later, your mother brought a physician to the Feng family. This time, it was not an imperial physician. It was a physician from outside who went to Rongguo Province to check the Jia Xie's pulse again. Why did she do that?" Tu Chen looked at the Empress. He wanted to know if she knew about this matter. If she knew and acquiesced to it, he would really doubt whether the Empress was qualified.
"What?" The Empress's heart trembled. As expected, it was caused by her mother and sister. First, it was an imperial physician. Then, it was a physician. Obviously, they suspected that there was something wrong with the Jia Xie. Moreover, they had already checked the Jia Xie's pulse once. How could they bring a physician to the Feng family again? Wasn't this putting the Jia Xie's face on the ground and stepping on it? The Empress was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Because she had no children, she was walking on thin ice in the Imperial Harem. Her grandfather, who could help her, had already passed away. Her father was too ambitious. Her brothers had the same temper as her father. Only her sister's husband's family could help her a little. Now, the Jia family was also alienated. Did they know how difficult it would be for her in the Imperial Harem in the future?
The Empress really felt that her life was a little bitter. She brought glory to her family, but what did her family give her in return? What was it? Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help but cry.
The Empress quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It's my fault for making things difficult for Your Majesty. I'll be strict with her. There won't be a next time."
"Get up." Tu Chen helped the Empress up and said, "The Empress has never let me down. This time, you've worked hard."
"It's what I should do. Your Majesty, you're already magnanimous for not punishing me." The Empress forced a smile.
"Well, the Empress is busy. I still have a report to approve. I'll go back to the Imperial Study." Tu Chen said, got up and left the Empress's palace.
After the Emperor left, the Empress sat down on a chair. She felt very tired. "Ling Long, that's my token. Summon my mother and sister to the Imperial Harem tomorrow."
"Yes." Ling Long looked at the Empress and felt very distressed.
Hearing that her elder sister had summoned her, Jia Feng was happy. She still couldn't keep her housekeeping power. With the support of the Jia Xie and the Jia Mu's mother, Jia Feng could only hand over her housekeeping power. Originally, she wanted to send an invitation to the Imperial Harem and ask her elder sister for advice. But now, she was grounded.
Hearing that the Empress summoned her, the Jia Mu's mother sneered. Even if the Empress was behind her, so what? The Jia family was in the right. Did they really think that they were easy to bully? Besides, although the Empress was the mother of the country, she didn't have a son. Even if she was noble, she was just a helpless woman. She still had to live in the hands of the new Emperor. The new Emperor didn't have no biological mother. How could he put her, the Empress Dowager, in his eyes?
"Elder sister, I've been sullen these days. Fortunately, you summoned me. Otherwise, I can't come out." Jia Feng saw the Empress and directly began to cry.
"Bastard, tell me, what good things have you done?" The Empress was trembling with anger.
"Elder sister?" Being questioned by the Empress, Jia Feng was a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, calm down. You know your sister's character. Don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt your health." The Feng's mother quickly stood up to smooth things over.
"Is it only my sister's fault? What about mother? Why did you bring a doctor to check Master Hou's body? The first time is fine, but the second time, you even brought him to someone else's house. Can't you hope for someone else to be well? You threw his face on the ground and stepped on it once. Is it not enough? You want to step on it a second time? "The Empress was angry.
"It's not that serious. It's just a doctor's illness. How can it be so serious?" The Feng's mother timidly said.
The Empress was so angry that she laughed. "Mother, what do you think is serious? Everyone in the world can invite a doctor to treat the Marquis, but we, the Feng family, can't. The Marquis gave you face the first time in order to reassure you. What are you thinking the second time?"
"We also suspect that the imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital has been bribed. Look at your sister, she hasn't been pregnant for so many years. We are anxious. You don't have a child here, and your sister doesn't have a child either. You still have a niece? How can you find a marriage in the future? Others will think that something has happened to our daughter. "The Feng's mother explained.
Hearing this, the Empress was desperate. Sure enough, even if she was the Empress, and even brought supreme glory to the family, a married daughter was still like water splashed out. Once something happened, the Empress would ask for help. However, when they did things in private, they never thought about her. "Bribing all the imperial doctors. You really know how to think. Well, it has already happened. Let me tell you, Master Hou wrote again? He asked Jia Lian to be the Heir. "
"The Emperor agreed?" The Feng's mother hurriedly asked.
"He hasn't agreed yet, but he said that as long as Jia Lian is married, no matter when Master Hou asks to be the Heir again, he will agree." The Empress said directly.
"What?" The Feng's mother felt a little dizzy.
"You can go. I can't do anything about you anymore. The Emperor also knows about this. You're on your own." The Empress picked up the teacup, took a sip, and motioned for them to leave.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? What does the Emperor think?" The Feng's mother hurriedly asked.
"Mother, I've warned you before not to think about it. Besides, Jia Lian is the Marquis's eldest son. No matter how you look at it, he should be the Marquis's heir, shouldn't he?"
"Elder sister, please help me. My right to be the housekeeper has been taken back, and I'm even grounded. The old lady also gave Master Hou a new concubine. Please help me. I'm going crazy." The Feng's mother knelt at the Empress's feet and looked at the Empress with hope, hoping that the Empress could give her some ideas.
"How can I help you? Call the Duke Rongguo's wife into the palace and scold her? Ask her to give you the right to be the housekeeper back? "The Empress said sarcastically.
After hearing the Empress's words, the Feng's eyes lit up. She thought it was feasible.
The Empress understood the Feng's expression. She smiled sarcastically and said, "Your mother-in-law is a first-rank Duchess. The old Duke Rongguo has made outstanding military achievements. His widow is not dead. How can I call her into the palace and scold her for no reason? Am I crazy?"
"How can it be for no reason?" The Feng's mother couldn't believe it. She had done such a hateful thing to her.
"Then let me ask you. Why can't the Duke Rongguo's wife be the housekeeper? What kind of plaque is hanging in Rongguo Province now? It's about the concubine. What's wrong with the mother-in-law giving the son a concubine? Did you violate any rules of the country? As for the grounding, aren't you out now? How can it be considered grounding? "The Empress asked.
The Feng's mother was stunned. She had never thought about this.
