After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

After returning to the room, Fu Guiyun had just sat down when Cuiluo pouted and started complaining.

"Why should the young lady always give in to the Second Young Lady? It was clearly her fault today. Even the Madam dared not say a word. It is obvious that she felt ashamed of the young lady, so she made her kneel down in the ancestral hall to repent."

"You have good eyesight."

Fu Guiyun shook his head disapprovingly.

"If she really felt that she had not taught her precious daughter well, she should have persuaded her to marry into the palace obediently, instead of kneeling quietly in the ancestral hall and letting the second young lady come out and make such a scene to embarrass everyone."

He smiled helplessly and said, "You are just trying to win my father's sympathy and pity and force me to compromise."

Anyway, she is the only one in this mansion who can be abandoned at any time.

Cuiluo suddenly understood and realized the lady's sinister intentions.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard the maid Qinglu calling him from outside the house.

"I greet the master and the madam."

"You damn girl, why are you howling so loudly in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the young lady's rest?"

Upon hearing that it was his stepmother who was admitted to the hospital, Fu Guiyun quickly gestured to Cuiluo to keep quiet.

The two of them got up and went out together to welcome their father and Pu in.

The Fu family was saved from danger, and Fu Ping was very proud of himself. He just sat down and took two sips of tea, then said happily:

"Guiyun, you saved the Fu family from danger today, and the clan members are especially grateful. Just now, the chief clan leader and the elders discussed with their fathers and decided to add some clan property to prepare a dowry for you."

When he sought an official position, his clansmen did not help. Now that he has reached the fifth rank in the capital, his clansmen have the intention of currying favor with him and have promised to give a dowry to the eldest daughter of the mansion.

Fu Ping lowered his eyes and slowly looked at his second wife. He said firmly, "I have already agreed."

"Thank you father."

Fu Guiyun was happy in his heart, but his face looked unusually calm.

Pu was really annoyed when he heard this.

Knowing that it would be difficult for her daughter to get the dowry, she could only agree and smile.

"Of course, of course. If it weren't for Guiyun, based on Shu'er's nonsense today, not to mention the family property, even every brick and tile in our house would have been confiscated."

But after her daughter's big fuss in the hall just now, Mrs. Pu felt a little embarrassed.

It was obvious that her stepdaughter got the advantage, but she stepped on her own daughter instead.

This is just to make people angry.

Forced to smile and looking at Fu Guiyun, she said righteously:

"Guiyun, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. In our Yundu City, no matter whether it is the famous ladies in the capital or the ladies from the noble families, everyone is looking forward to marrying into the Liyang Palace.

It is truly a rare event for the Liyang King and his wife to fall in love with our Fu family's daughter. Your sister is still young and stupid, so how can she cherish this hard-earned blessing? "

The implication was that this marriage was given to her by her daughter.

"Mother is right. The Lu family is a family that we cannot reach."

Fu Guiyun answered seriously, but he wanted to laugh in his heart.

In her previous life, she was afraid that she would regret it and think about the marriage with Liyang Palace again, so she never said a good word about the palace.

He even said that the prince of the Earl's Mansion was the one with a truly promising future, and would enjoy endless wealth and glory after returning to the court.

Even when the news of Song Weizhao's death in battle reached Yundu, she still forced herself to marry into the Earl's Mansion with the excuse of family and country.

Today, she was quite impatient to see how her stepmother would send her own daughter to be a widow.

Mrs. Pu always respected her daughter's wishes. After listening to her daughter's words several times, she began to feel that no matter how noble the royal family was, if she married into the royal family, she would have to raise other people's children first, which was really unfair to her daughter.

On the contrary, she looked down upon the marriage with the Earl's Mansion.

However, I still need to make more plans for my daughter's dowry.

Looking at Fu Ping with a smile, Pu first sighed deliberately.

"Guiyun is the one who makes us worry the least. She has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child. She will be a blessing to her husband's family wherever she marries. The palace also values ​​our family as a noble family, so they will definitely not treat Guiyun badly. I really don't need to worry about her."

It's almost like saying it doesn't matter whether the dowry is prepared or not.

Fu Ping was very satisfied to hear this.

Before he could reply, Pu started talking again.

"Although the Earl of Changping's mansion is not too bad, after all, he is a military general. I heard that everyone in that house has a tyrannical temperament.

When Uncle Song taught his son, he would always use family rules to beat him with sticks until his skin was torn and flesh was bruised.

Shu'er is not as steady as Guiyun after all, I really don't know what her life will be like after she gets married."

The ups and downs immediately made Fu Ping forget his second daughter's previous crying.

However, he did not understand the hidden meaning of his step-wife's words. He just felt that his wife wanted the eldest daughter to take care of the second daughter more in the future.

Looking at Fu Guiyun, he solemnly warned: "Ayun, I am very pleased that you are valued by the Liyang Palace. When you go to your husband's family, you must remember your parents' teachings, be gentle, respectful, frugal, and be a good match for the family."

After a slight pause, he deliberately added: "You must remember that you are the daughter of the Fu family. Don't forget the grace of giving birth to you and raising you. The love between siblings. A family must share weal and woe and rely on each other for support."

"My daughter always remembers her father's teachings."

Fu Guiyun had a smile on his face, without showing any strange expression, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

My stepmother has always been smart, and she never expected me to take care of my younger sister in the future.

Even though the royal palace is prominent, whether the earl's house respects the Crown Prince's wife or not is always their family affair behind closed doors.

She has made all these arrangements, probably because she is thinking about the generous inheritance left by her mother when she died.

It was because my mother had always trusted my father, and when he passed away, he knelt before her spirit and swore that he would never remarry in his lifetime, so my mother did not leave any will.

In her previous life, she was really a coward. With a few words of coaxing from her father and stepmother, she gave a lot of dowry to her younger sister to show off in the palace.

What is the prosperity of all, and the loss of all.

In the end, it is you who suffers.

As she expected, Pu saw that the situation was developing as expected, so she continued with a tearful tone.

"My sister worked so hard for this family, but she passed away without any blessing. I have been so fearful all these years, afraid that you would be wronged. Now that you have such a glorious and respectable marriage with the royal palace, even the clans are competing to buy a dowry. I have finally not let my sister down."

Holding Fu Guiyun's soft fingers, her tone became more and more sarcastic:

"As for your sister, I don't expect her to have any future now. I can only try to do more for her myself. I just hope that when the young master of the Song family returns to the court after his victory, he will not disappoint your sister's love."

The marriage has been settled, and the only thing left to deal with is the dowry.

She thought that even if the master was dull, he would be able to understand the deeper meaning of her words.

I have raised my eldest daughter to be so sensible and well-behaved. Even if I have no credit for it, I have worked hard. I can't let my eldest daughter take all the glory and honor.

Fu Ping listened and frowned deeply.

Madam is blaming herself for giving all the dowry in the clan to her eldest daughter.

The royal palace is so prestigious that they don’t value the Fu family’s background. No matter how much dowry you buy, it will not be acceptable to them.

On the contrary, in the Earl's Mansion of Changping, Song Weizhao will surely become the emperor's new favorite when he returns victoriously, and he must not be neglected.

Fu Guiyun pretended not to understand, and sincerely comforted Pu: "Mother, don't worry, my sister's blessings are all in the future."

Knowing that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize her biological mother's inheritance, he continued with a smile: "Didn't mother just say that my sister and the young master are in love with each other, and the young master will not dare to treat my sister badly in the future."

It was just a casual remark, but it deeply hurt Fu Ping.

I am a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. How can I allow the daughter of the Fu family to have a secret relationship with someone else?

If the engagement hadn't already happened and the eldest daughter hadn't been willing to give in, I don't know how big of a joke it would have been.

"She chose her own path. What's the point of saying this? She brought disgrace upon her family. How can she still want to be glorious and respectable?"

Even if I want to favor the second daughter, I cannot encourage any unhealthy trends.

His eyes suddenly sank, and Fu Ping's face showed deep anger.

"Although my Fu family is a noble family, we are not arrogant because of our talent. The Liyang Palace has come to my Fu family three times to propose marriage. We must not let down this courtesy."

After saying this, he immediately instructed the maidservant beside Fu Guiyun: "Cui Luo, tomorrow you will go to the storehouse with the housekeeper to personally count the late madam's belongings and property, and include them in the list of the eldest lady's dowry. The marriage of the prince's mansion is now the top priority of the Fu family, and no one can neglect it."

Then, he hurried out the door first.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Pu was furious.

He and Fu Guiyun looked at each other, and seeing her innocent look, he became even more angry.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that the stepdaughter did not have any intention. The words about her daughter's infatuation with the prince of the Earl's Mansion came from her own mouth, so she could not blame others.

With a fake smile, he reminded Fu Guiyun: "Rest early."

Then he left angrily with his maidservants.

On the way back to the courtyard, Nanny Tu beside him was confused and spoke cautiously:

"The eldest lady was acting strange today. She didn't complain at all about her marriage change. She was acting cute and lovable from beginning to end."

"What does she have to complain about? Shouldn't she be secretly happy about this great blessing?"

Pu said angrily, "I thought she had some feelings for the prince of the Bo Mansion, but now it seems that she is just a vain person."

"What should I do now?"

Madam Tu was very worried: "Is it true that the eldest lady has surpassed the second lady?"

"It's still unclear who will be the winner."

Pu said in a deep voice.

If she were to do very well in the palace and live much better than her own daughter, wouldn't I, as her stepmother, be laughed at by the entire Yundu City?

Naturally, she had to think of another solution.
