I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, upper room.

In preparation for the family dinner tonight, Mrs. Lin, the mistress of the house, has been very busy.

He called the chef to select the main dish, discussed adding some new dishes that had never been eaten before, and explained the tastes of the second and third masters...

Although busy, Lin enjoys it.

Because only at this time can her uniqueness and value as the mistress of the house be demonstrated.

Look, the second and third wives can’t even get involved, they can only envy.

After a busy day, they finally made it to the evening. They just had to wait for the masters and young masters in the mansion to return home from work so that they could start the banquet.

"Madam, the second and third madams have arrived with their young ladies. They are all sitting in the yard chatting." The head maid Jiao Xing walked into the inner room to report.

Upon hearing this, Lin specially asked another maid to make a pot of new tea, and then smiled slowly and said:

"No hurry, I'll drink some tea to moisten my throat first and then go out later."

Jiao Xing: ...

She knew that her wife would never show up immediately. She would always stay for a quarter of an hour before going out to meet her sisters-in-law and nieces from the second and third rooms.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Lin put down the teacup in her hand, slowly stood up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the corridor, she heard several nieces from the second and third rooms whispering over there.

A niece in a pink skirt said:

"This big house is really weird. They invited us to a dinner party, but there wasn't even a host to entertain us. It's fine that the eldest aunt is the mistress of the house and didn't show up, but why didn't even the wife of the prince (Shen Yan) show up?"

A niece in a blue skirt said, "Perhaps the Crown Prince's wife relies on her husband's favor and doesn't take us, the second and third wives' cousins, seriously."

Another niece in a purple skirt sneered, "A concubine's daughter from a marquis's mansion is marrying the useless Gao Yan. Why is she putting on airs? Does she think she is marrying Gao Ni?"

The niece in pink skirt said, "We think she has no right to show off. Maybe she thinks she has the right to show off now that she is the wife of the Crown Prince."

Lan Qun's niece said, "It's so funny, are you kidding yourself?"

"That's right. Don't you see that Gao Yan himself has no status? How can she, a wife of a prince, be considered as a high-ranking official?"

Seeing that these nieces were becoming more and more outrageous, Mrs. Lin immediately became angry.

But Mrs. Lin did not blame her nieces for their rude words, nor did she blame her own son for not living up to her expectations. Instead, she poured all her anger on her daughter-in-law, Shen Yan.

——Look, look, this family is so unlucky, what kind of thing did they marry?

I can't even control my cousins ​​at home, let alone the ladies and noble girls outside!

Lin could almost imagine the scene in the future when Shen Yan attended a banquet in the palace or at someone else's house, where she would be looked down upon and ridiculed.

Shame!

It's really embarrassing!

So, after eavesdropping on what these nieces said, Lin looked down on Shen Yan even more.

Lin turned and walked away. After she had gone a long way, she called the head maid Jiao Xing and angrily said:

"Where's the Crown Prince's wife? Why hasn't she arrived yet? She didn't show up at the family gathering. Is this how she helps the Crown Prince manage the harem?"

Jiao Xing said quickly: "I don't know either. I will go to Qiu Shuang Courtyard to urge the Madam of the Crown Prince."

After Jiao Xing left, Lin returned to the corridor and went behind her nieces who were still chattering.

This time, she was not polite and scolded him:

"You girls, although you are not from our eldest house, your upbringing is indeed inferior."

"But you are the legitimate daughters of the second and third wives after all. Is this how your mother taught you to slander your cousin's wife behind her back?"

"You really have no manners at all!"

The girls from the second and third rooms: …

They were startled by the sudden angry scolding from behind. When they turned around and saw Lin's ferocious face, they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Although he remained silent on the surface, he despised the Lin family in his heart, criticizing them for being uneducated. He also didn't see how well-educated Gao Shu, the eldest wife's daughter, was!

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

At this moment, Gao Shu came back from outside. She hadn't changed her clothes and was still wearing the bright red dress she had worn when she was shopping.

Gao Shu walked into the courtyard of the upper house with joy on her face.

Lin glanced at her red lips and suddenly became angry. She immediately took Gao Shu to the back hall with a dark face, sat her down in the armchair, and asked in a cold voice:

"Who did you go out with? Look at you, your lipstick is all smudged! Isn't that embarrassing?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shu immediately ran to the dressing mirror in the inner room and saw that her lipstick... had blurred into a blob, and much of it had rubbed onto the skin outside her lips.

Like a little tabby cat.

Ouch, just one glance and Gao Shu's face suddenly turned red.

"It's all my fiancé Cheng Dingyu's fault..."

I don't know what went wrong with me today, but when I ran into her in the theater, I grabbed her and kissed her fiercely, making her lip rouge smudge.

When Lin found out that it was her future son-in-law who did it, her anger instantly subsided.

Although they were very affectionate and behaved a little indecently before marriage, Lin knew that her daughter and her fiancé had never gotten along well, so it would be good for them to get closer through the kiss today.

So, instead of criticizing, Lin smiled leniently and said, "Come on, mother won't punish you. Put on your makeup, change your clothes, and go play with your cousins.

When Lin said this, she had no idea that the cousins ​​she was talking about were squatting under the window and eavesdropping.

After hearing the whole content, all the cousins ​​pursed their lips and whispered sarcastically:

"Bah, just now he was mocking our second and third branches for being uneducated. Look, now he is lenient with the even more uneducated Gao Shu just because she is his biological daughter, and he is reluctant to even scold her!"

“Typical double standard!”

"that is!"

"that is!"

A quarter of an hour later, when Lin and Gao Shu came out of the back hall together, Jiao Xing, the maid who had gone to urge Shen Yan, came back. She bit her lip slightly and said:

"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife has an irregular menstrual cycle today. When I entered the room, I happened to see the Crown Prince's wife, sweating profusely in pain, lying on the bedside and moaning 'ouch' non-stop."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attend tonight."

"The Crown Prince's wife asked this servant to ask for leave on her behalf and to apologize."

When Lin heard this, she became angry again and started to curse:

"Asshole, she was fine last night, but you didn't allow her to go back to her parents' home, so you deliberately did this to me? Are you trying to give me a look?"

"Who the hell is she?"

After hearing this, Jiao Xing just lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't even dare to say a good word on behalf of the Crown Prince's wife.

Gao Shu is different. She and Gao Yan have a very good brother-sister relationship. Right now Shen Yan is Gao Yan's treasure, so she naturally helps Gao Yan to protect Shen Yan.

So Gao Shu took Lin's arm, shook it gently like a spoiled child, and said with a smile:

"Mother, my sister-in-law has irregular menstruation, which is very pitiful. Please don't blame her anymore."

"Think back to how miserable my daughter was when she had irregular periods. She rolled around on the bed and almost wanted to die right there."

"So, mother, please be kind and love my sister-in-law. Don't let her come tonight. Just rest in your room."

After all, she was her biological daughter, so Lin listened to her.

She no longer demanded that Shen Yan attend, and waved her hand at Jiao Xing, saying, "Okay, go tell the Crown Prince's wife and tell her that I allow it."

As Jiao Xing left, Gao Shu suddenly thought of someone and frowned at Lin:

"Mom, that's not right. My sister-in-law is not feeling well on this happy day for the whole family, so it's reasonable for her not to come. Why hasn't Fu Yuzheng come yet?"

"She is the eldest daughter-in-law of our main house. She should behave like an eldest daughter-in-law and be responsible for entertaining guests. How could she be late?"

"It's too rude and too ignorant of etiquette!"

Fu Yuzheng, who had just stepped into the Moon Cave Gate: ...

As soon as you arrive, you run into someone insulting you?

It's really bad luck.

Fu Yuzheng paused, raised her eyes and glanced at Gao Shu.

Then, she remembered something, and instead of being angry, she came to Lin, Gao Shu and the others with a smile on her face, and said slowly:

"Mother, there is a reason why my daughter-in-law is late."

"I heard that the prince made a big mistake while working at the Ministry of Revenue today. Not only did he beat up his colleagues, he also contradicted the Minister of Revenue. The Minister punished him on the spot and made him run around the Ministry of Revenue a hundred times."

Run a hundred laps?

Lin and Gao Shu were shocked at once. Wouldn’t her son (brother) be killed if she ran away?

OMG!

"Oh my son--" Lin screamed, and immediately walked quickly down the corridor, ready to rush to the Ministry of Revenue to see what was going on.

At this time, Fu Yuzheng continued with a smile: "Mother, why don't you ask what caused the trouble for the prince?"

Lin paused, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" Now that she knew, she also wanted to think of a solution.

But Fu Yuzheng glanced at Qiaomei, the maid beside her.

Qiao Mei understood and knew that her master couldn't say some dirty words, so she said:

"Madam, the Crown Prince's colleague, the Crown Princess's second brother Su Chenghai, said that he and our Crown Prince's wife had slept with each other several times..."

"The prince was so angry after hearing such slanderous words that he raised his fist and started beating him."

Rolling into bed?

Had sex with the second son of the Minister of Revenue?

Losing virginity before marriage?

There was so much confidence in these words that Lin almost fainted from anger!

The second wife, the third wife and the unmarried young ladies who were standing or sitting in the yard were all stunned when they heard this episode.

——The concubine whom Gao Yan married at the cost of two hundred thousand taels of silver turned out not to be a virgin?

——Is it a slut that has been fucked by someone?

Shocking!

At this moment, the concierge came running over and shouted:

"Madam, this is terrible, this is terrible, our prince is paralyzed, paralyzed, he is paralyzed from running too much! He is slumped in the carriage, motionless!"

"Only exhaling, no inhaling!"

Is this a sign of death?

When Lin heard this, his heart almost exploded.

The next moment, she was so anxious that she no longer cared about her image. "Yan'er, Yan'er, my Yan'er..." She shouted loudly, lifted up her skirt and rushed to the door.

Gao Shu was so anxious that her heart ached, and she chased after her mother.

With such excitement going on, how could Fu Yuzheng not go?

Not only did she want to go herself, she also invited her second wife, third wife, and a group of cousins, and they all went to watch the fun.

Witness with your own eyes how miserable Gao Yan is at this moment!

Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the ceremonial gate where the carriage was parked, and saw four servants carrying the dying Gao Yan out of the carriage.

Oh my, he really is dying, his face is so pale!

Like a dying person!

"Stretcher, stretcher, why don't you bring the stretcher? Do you know how to do it?" Lin screamed anxiously.

Gao Shu also cried and urged:

"Stretcher, bring the stretcher!"
