I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Fu Yushu was so smart. Just by glancing at Zheng'er's expression, he knew what his sister was planning.

Fu Yushu stepped forward decisively, bent down slightly to help her sister up, and said with a smile: "Zheng'er, please don't be polite. Why are you being so polite to your sister?"

Fu Yuzheng took her sister's hand and stood up.

Originally, Fu Yuzheng was kneeling behind her mother-in-law, Lin. Now...

Haha, Fu Yuzheng stood up gracefully, while Lin was still kneeling on the hard ground with her head down!

Lin: ...

The daughter-in-law has stood up, but she, the mother-in-law, is still kneeling?

How could there be such a confusing situation in the world?

This scene attracted the attention of other noble ladies and girls. Although they were still kneeling like Lin, they inexplicably felt that Lin was very embarrassed.

So much so that after everyone stood up, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Madam Zhenguo usually boasts about being the sister-in-law of the current queen, but today... she has finally met her nemesis! She was slapped in the face by her own daughter-in-law, tsk tsk tsk."

"Fu Yuzheng has only been married for a few days, and she has already openly disrespected her mother-in-law. Just wait, there will be more quarrels between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future."

"Guess who will win?"

"Needless to say, don't you see who is standing behind Fu Yuzheng? Gao Ni alone is enough to make the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo drink a pot, not to mention her brother-in-law, the Prince of Zhenbian, and her father, the Marquis of Jingyang, all of whom are big shots who are not easy to mess with!"

So, after a round of discussion, the final conclusion was - Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, would definitely lose!

Lin was usually competitive and took advantage of her status as a relative by marriage to put on a high profile. She would never give up until she had surpassed other noble ladies.

This resulted in her being unpopular, and when she was suppressed by Fu Yuzheng, everyone cheered!

I almost clapped my hands in celebration!

Lin heard those endless gossips and almost fainted from anger!

Lin angrily hid in the pavilion and vented her anger, "The girls from the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion are all jinxes!"

Needless to say, Fu Yuyao had already ruined her son's reputation before she even married into the family. After she married into the family, she even caused her son to fail to pass the imperial examination.

Failed!

He could only rely on imperial favor to get a dead-end job in the Ministry of Revenue!

Fu Yuzheng is even more of a jinx. Just a few days after getting married, she has already made her mother-in-law lose face and dignity!

She is the mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion. If the mistress loses face, isn't it the same as the Zhenguo Mansion being trampled upon?

Well, Lin thinks too highly of herself. It is normal for the old and new regimes to alternate in the court, let alone in a small mansion.

Obviously, Lin also considered this aspect, so she was very anxious.

——Gao Yan is no longer capable of anything. If he marries a wife of lowly status, can the couple keep the title passed down from their ancestors?

——After a hundred years between her and the Duke of Zhenguo, wouldn't the title be snatched away by the bastard Gao Ni?

Thinking of this, Lin became more determined that the wife Gao Yan married must not be of low status!

At this moment, a candidate suddenly crossed Lin's mind. She smiled at Nanny Hua and said, "The eighth princess of the Queen's lap will be coming of age next month, right?"

If Gao Yan could marry the Eighth Princess, his title would be secure!

No matter how powerful Gao Ni is, can he snatch the title of the princess' husband?

He doesn't have the guts!

Aunt Hua: ...

Knowing that her own wife had set her sights on the newly grown Eighth Princess, she, as her confidant, was speechless.

If our young master is still the same as he was a few years ago, with a great reputation throughout the capital, he will naturally succeed.

But now...

With that notorious appearance, who would be willing to marry the Eighth Princess to Gao Yan unless Empress Gao was crazy?

This beautiful dream... is too fantastical!

When Lin was sitting in the pavilion and dreaming, Old Lady Gao learned that Princess Zhenbian had arrived and hurried over.

Madam Gao is the mother-in-law of the current emperor. Her generation and status are high enough. According to etiquette, she does not need to salute Fu Yusu.

So, she warmly held Fu Yushu's hand and said enthusiastically:

"Hello, Princess Zhenbian. I have long wanted to invite her to visit my manor, but I was afraid she would not come easily. That's why I waited until Zheng'er married into the family and we became family relatives before I dared to send her an invitation."

These words were cleverly said, praising both Fu Yushuo and his granddaughter-in-law Fu Yuzheng.

When Fu Yushu heard this, she knew that Madam Gao was very satisfied with her sister. She immediately shook Madam Gao's hand warmly and exchanged a few words with a smile.

Of course, Mrs. Gao’s enthusiasm for Fu Yusu wasn’t just because of Fu Yuzheng.

Another big part of the reason was that not long ago, her daughter, Empress Gao, offended Fu Yushu and his wife (by giving Princess Yu Ning to Mu Shaoheng as a concubine), and she had to help her daughter resolve Fu Yushu's unhappiness.

So, while chatting, Madam Gao avoided the crowd, took Fu Yushu to a waterside pavilion in the manor, and spoke for Empress Gao:

"Princess Zhenbian, the Queen was confused a while ago and mistakenly thought that the King of Zhenbian was the kind of person who liked to have three wives and four concubines, so she did something wrong."

"I have already criticized the Queen for you. She will no longer meddle in matters that she shouldn't meddle in. The Queen cannot bring herself to tell you, so she asked me to tell you that she feels extremely guilty."

After hearing this, Fu Yushu hurriedly laughed and said:

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It was just a small matter. The prince and I have long forgotten about it. I hope the old lady can comfort your Majesty and let her feel at ease."

Madam Gao patted her hands and said with a smile, "The prince and princess are indeed magnanimous people. It's better to forget about it. I will tell the queen later so that she won't keep thinking about it."

Then, Madam Gao looked at Fu Yushu's face carefully again and said with a smile:

"Look at our new princess. She looks like a lucky woman who will marry a prosperous husband. She is the lucky one who will be with her husband for the rest of his life!"

This is a very flattering statement. I wish Fu Yushuo a life without concubines to disturb him.

How could Fu Yushu not feel comfortable after hearing this?

Fu Yuzheng stood aside and listened to everything they said.

Based on her understanding of Empress Gao in her previous life, these words were definitely not what Empress Gao meant, but rather Old Madam Gao was a good person who was trying to win over her sister for her daughter the Empress and her grandson the Crown Prince.

However, considering that Madam Gao treated her well in her previous life, Fu Yuzheng did not expose this white lie afterwards.

It was indeed a white lie that made his sister feel better.

As for the relationship between her sister, brother-in-law and Empress Gao, Fu Yuzheng did not want to interfere. Her sister and brother-in-law had their own judgment and considerations.
