New widow

"Whether your third master and I are good friends, you have said it, it doesn't matter." Zhang Qing was still so calm and calm. Mrs. Wang sneered: "Okay, then I will go in and report to the madam to see if our madam is willing to see you." After saying that, Mrs. Wang walked into the door. Zhang Qing still stood there, not caring about other people's eyes.

Mrs. Wang reported this to Madam Nanyang Hou, who sneered: "Friend? He dares to say that, what kind of thing is he?"

"Madam, please be careful what you say." Mrs. Wang reminded Mrs. Nanyang Hou that Mrs. Wang is a servant. If she said such a few words outside, others would only say that the slaves are uneducated, but Mrs. Nanyang Hou wanted to say such things. , that is, he looks down upon the court officials. After all, the court establishes an official position, no matter how big or small, it is always useful.

"Let him in, I want to see what he can say." Mrs. Nanyang Hou was very unhappy today. That Kuang family actually escaped. She escaped with such a big crime. It was simply unbelievable. It made people want to scold several times, but Mrs. Nanyang Hou did not dare to scold her. After all, the person who made this decision was the one above, the supreme one, the imperial power.

Mrs. Wang responded and walked out quickly. Zhang Qing was still waiting there. When she saw Mrs. Wang appearing at the gate, Zhang Qing smiled and straightened her clothes: "So, Mrs. Nanyang Hou is willing to see me?"

"What Madam wants to see is just Third Master's good friend." Mrs. Wang's words made Zhang Qing smile: "Okay, what I want to see is just my good friend's mother." After saying that, Zhang Qing walked towards the door. Go, the hall of Nanyang Hou Mansion is still the same as before. Zhang Qing walked into the main hall and respectfully saluted Mrs. Nanyang Hou. Mrs. Nanyang Hou looked at Zhang Qing: "Master Zhang insists on coming to see me. Could it be said that on that day, the child If I have any disagreements with you outside, do you want to tell me now?"

"When Su Tongpan and I were serving as officials abroad, there was no disagreement." Zhang Qing's words made Mrs. Marquis Nanyang sneer: "Since there is no disagreement, there is naturally nothing visible. My son..."

"I came from a poor and humble background, but I was lucky enough to get this official position. Therefore, what I want to say will definitely conflict with Madam." Zhang Qing had already interrupted Madam Nanyang Hou, who smiled: "Since I know you want to If you say it, you will offend me, so there is no need for you to say it, so as not to look bad on each other's faces."

"But Su Tongpan and I have known each other for many years, and he is an extremely rare person. If Madam doesn't want to hear this, I have to say it." How could Zhang Qing be so easily frightened by Madam Nanyang Hou's words? He said directly who arrived, and Mrs. Nanyang Hou looked at him coldly: "So, Zhang Tongpan wants to..."

"I just want to ask Madam, what is the glory and wealth you seek for?" Zhang Qing had interrupted Mrs. Nanyang Hou's words loudly. Madam Nanyang Hou did not expect Zhang Qing to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "The glory and wealth you seek, Naturally, it is to protect my family and hope that they will not have to go through hardships in their lives."

"Since Madam's request is to protect her family, in Madam's view, family is also very important." Zhang Qing asked one after another. Madam Nanyang Hou didn't know how to answer, so she just remained silent. Zhang Qing continued: "Since Madam thinks that family is extremely important, Madam thinks that Su Tongpan is like a jewel in her palm. I wish him all the best."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou sighed softly: "I understand, you are here today to be a lobbyist. However, there are some things that not you children can understand, nor can you children understand."

"What Madam wants is the innocent reputation of Nanyang Houfu, but I still want to ask Madam, if mother and son are separated for this so-called innocent reputation, Madam thinks, is it worth it?" Zhang Qing said something similar. The question came to the heart of Mrs. Nanyang Hou, but Mrs. Nanyang Hou still stared at Zhang Qing and sneered: "Don't say that again, come here, give him to me..."

"Madam, please don't rush me out." Zhang Qing looked at Madam Nanyang Hou: "Please tell me, madam, is it worth it or not?"

Of course Mrs. Nanyang Hou knew the answer. The answer was actually not worth it. However, Mrs. Nanyang Hou was afraid that when she said that it was not worth it, all her persistence would be in vain. So Mrs. Nanyang Hou remained silent and Zhang Qing's tone changed. Very lightly: "Madam, you only live in this world for a few decades, and what you have already exceeds that of most people in the world. Why should you, madam, be like this..."

"I can't be the master." There were already tears in Mrs. Nanyang Hou's eyes. Then Mrs. Nanyang Hou said softly, "I can't be the master. Even if I am the mistress of the Hou Mansion, even if I have lived in this Nanyang Marquis Mansion for thirty years, I can't be the master." Over the years, she has grown from a young girl when she first entered the palace to a mistress who responds to everything she calls. But Mrs. Nanyang Hou clearly knows that she cannot make the decision. The one who can really make the decision is Nanyang Hou.

When Zhang Qing heard that he couldn't make the decision, Zhang Qing fell silent, and then Zhang Qing sighed softly: "In that case, why don't Madam..."

Zhang Qing did not finish these words, but saluted Mrs. Nanyang Hou: "It is not my place to say this, madam, I take leave." After saying that, Zhang Qing turned and walked out, walking so suddenly, as if He came so suddenly. Mrs. Nanyang Hou looked at Zhang Qing's back and unknowingly burst into tears.

Mrs. Wang stood beside Mrs. Nanyang Hou, not knowing what to say. After a long time, Mrs. Nanyang Hou said softly: "Do you still remember what the third master looked like when he was born?"

"Remember!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile on her face: "The third master was young at that time. You heard that it was another son, and you said with a smile that you thought it was a sister, but who knew it was another son. "

"Later, I regretted giving birth to a daughter." Mrs. Nanyang Hou looked up at Mrs. Wang: "The daughter I raised in the palm of my hand chose such a good husband for her, but so what? After getting married, she was still... "Mrs. Nanyang Marquis has only one daughter, Su Du's sister. She is two years younger than Su Du. She married when she was seventeen years old. She was also a daughter of a famous family. But soon after she got married, the girl with a bright smile turned into a sad one. The young woman died of illness two years ago.

"Madam!" Mrs. Wang knew that this was the deepest pain in Mrs. Nanyang Hou's heart, and such pain could not even be expressed in front of Nanyang Hou. She could only cry bitterly in front of the closest servants, and then wipe it away. Tears, pretending to be the mistress of the house.
