After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 4: Comforting Uncle and Aunt
Seeing his father's figure, Fu Guiyun slowly walked up to Zeng Ye.
Glancing at Fu Yuanshu, then at the boxes stacked on both sides of Langfang, she spoke softly:
"My uncle wrote to me a while ago, saying that he sorted out some of my late mother's belongings and left them to me as a reminder. He stuffed them into the dowry box. They are not worth much."
As he spoke, he took the jewelry box from Cuiluo and opened it to look at it: "These pieces of jewelry are my most precious ones. If you like them, you can take them all."
The implication is that you should not think of taking your biological mother's belongings.
Qi was so angry that she calmly walked forward and opened the box containing her deceased sister's belongings.
Fu Ping was stunned when he saw it.
The scene brought back sad memories. Looking at the familiar objects in the box, I couldn't stop feeling sad.
"When my brother-in-law passed the imperial examination, my mother-in-law was ill. My late sister was worried about her health and my husband's academic future. When she went to Beijing, she left a lot of money, clothes and jewelry at home in case of emergency."
Qi's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke in detail, "My husband was grateful for my late sister's kindness. He never pawned any of her belongings over the years, no matter how difficult it was. It was not until he heard that Yun'er had agreed to a marriage that he thought of sorting out all of her belongings and sending them to Kyoto."
After hearing this, Fu Yuanshu finally felt much better.
Looking at the things in the box again, there are a few items that are really attractive.
But seeing her father's murderous look at that moment, how could she dare to have any other thoughts?
"So it's my aunt's relic. I thought it was some rare item. Why did my uncle and aunt hide it so tightly?"
Glancing at the jewelry in Fu Guiyun's hand, she pretended to be quite disdainful and said, "I don't care about a few broken jewelry."
When she becomes the mother of the country, has great power in the court, and controls the wealth of the country, there will be all kinds of rare treasures that she can obtain.
"But elder sister, you have to save it up. The Liyang Palace is different from other places. You must spend more time to dress yourself up to be charming and beautiful, otherwise you will be worse than a maid or old woman in the palace, which will really make people laugh at you."
Fu Guiyun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
"Sister, you are so funny. I am the Crown Prince's consort, why do I need to dress up so beautifully? Using your beauty to please others is the lowest form of behavior."
"Then you can wait to be sent to the cold palace."
Fu Yuanshu snorted arrogantly.
After hearing these words, even Pu's face turned black.
"Asshole."
Fu Ping was so angry that he slapped his second daughter in the face and said angrily: "If you are so stubborn, go to the Earl of Changping's mansion by yourself on the day of your wedding."
After saying that, he yelled at her again: "Get out, get out now."
Fu Yuanshu felt that her father had become increasingly strict with her in the past two days, and she guessed that it was because she had rejected the marriage proposal from the palace.
Anyway, she was no longer interested in her elder sister's brief glory, so she covered her burning cheeks and left dejectedly with the maids.
One day, she will prove to her father and mother that her decision today is the right one.
Watching her daughter walk away, Pu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
She could only explain to Fu Ping timidly: "Master, Shu'er was not like this before. She must have been upset by this marriage."
After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at his stepdaughter beside him.
I'm afraid that this damn girl was behind what happened today, right?
She was obviously the closest to here, but she came later than me. She must have calculated the time when the master would return home.
Fu Guiyun simply stuffed the jewelry box back into Cuiluo's hands without saying a word and ignored the strange look from Pu.
After all, she didn't play any tricks, she was just a little lazy and did everything according to their wishes and married into the Liyang Palace.
But my sister is really promising. After having her second life, she only focuses on such trivial matters.
My uncle and aunt were already worried that if they packed too many boxes, Pu would be suspicious. But if they told them the truth, they were also afraid that her daughter would demand it back arrogantly, so they squeezed the relics into the dressing box.
The eldest sister doesn't even have this little self-awareness, so her path to power in the court is really something to look forward to.
After this incident, Fu Ping's attention has now completely shifted to his eldest daughter.
Leading Zeng Ye and the Qi couple to the side hall, Fu Ping kept apologizing to them. After they sat down, he expressed his opinion in front of Pu.
"My brother-in-law and sister-in-law don't need to worry about Shu'er. Her mother will take care of her marriage. It is a big event for both of our families. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law love Ayun, so just add the dowry you buy to her dowry list."
Having said this, he called the servant in with a smile, took the two yellow scrolls from him and handed them to everyone for inspection.
While they were looking at the list of rewards, she also told them about the emperor's marriage granting and her own promotion.
"Congratulations to my brother-in-law."
"Congratulations, father."
Fu Guiyun smiled and congratulated his aunt Qi in a faint tone.
Pu was smugly holding the list of rewards in her hand, but before her hands could even get warm, Fu Ping snatched it back.
"Since Shu'er doesn't care about these material things, let's give them all to Ayun."
He has his own scale in his heart to judge which marriage between the two families is more important.
Fu Guiyun and Pu looked at each other, with no intention of giving in: "Thank you, father."
Anyway, the chosen girl is going to be the empress dowager, so she will have nothing she wants in the future, and it will be hard for me, a mere prince's consort, to do so.
All she wants in this life is a little wealth and peace.
The painful experience in her previous life told her that no matter how noble the palace was, what she held in her hands was the solid foundation.
Pu felt very disappointed, but she had to smile and agree in front of Zeng Ye and his wife: "Of course, of course, everything is up to the master."
But he was so angry that he didn't want to pretend anymore. He said he had to go back to the courtyard to greet the guests. He only asked Fu Guiyun to chat with Zeng Ye and his wife first, and left with Nanny Tu and the maid.
Fu Ping and Zeng Ye had never gotten along well, so after giving him a few words of instruction, he made an excuse to leave the side hall.
Seeing that only his niece was left in the room, Zeng Ye's gloomy face gradually became kind.
Qi glanced at her husband and spoke first: "Yun'er, last year you wrote to me saying that your father and stepmother had arranged a marriage for you at the Earl's Mansion of Changping. Why did you change your mind and agree to the Prince's Mansion of Liyang?"
Anxiety immediately filled his face.
"I heard that the Prince of Liyang treats the maids and concubines in the courtyard as his own treasures. He cannot beat or scold them. There is chaos in the mansion all day long. How can you live a worry-free life if you marry him? Not to mention that he already has a pair of children."
"But your father and stepmother forced you to do that?"
Zeng Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists secretly.
"Uncle and aunt, you worry too much."
Fu Guiyun could not tell her about the past and could only make jokes to comfort her.
"There are many chaotic things happening in the palace of the king, and there are many families in the capital. However, the prince of Liyang can only ask our family to find a wife for his prince. No matter how capable the prince is, he can't ask a princess or a county lady to be his concubine. After all, I am the prince's consort who has been granted a golden seal and a golden book by His Majesty. As long as I do my duty in the future, no one will dare to make things difficult for me."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "On the contrary, in the Earl's Mansion of Changping, everyone says that the Earl's son has a promising future. If he returns to the court, His Majesty will reward him generously and give him a princess or a county lady as his second wife. With the Fu family's status, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to cry out for justice. I can only be willing to be a humble servant."
Although it was just an excuse, it directly convinced Zeng Ye.
After all, there was a precedent for this when the emperor was alive.
"You are a thoughtful girl. You know how to plan ahead."
Zeng Ye was very pleased and looked at Qi with a smile: "Since it is Yun'er's own decision, there is no need for us to say anything more."
