Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The main wife, after Wang Xifeng left.

Jia Wangshi and Yu Shi disliked each other and ignored each other.

Yu was talking to Old Madam Wang, and Jia Wang was talking to Wang Ziteng.

"In the past ten years or so, the Jia family has no capable people. So after I marry you, they will hand over the post of governor of the Beijing camp to you. This is the previous agreement.

"The twenty-eight old noble families have a long history of relationship with the royal family, which has never been severed. If it weren't for the great turmoil in the early years when everyone's most capable people were killed, I'm sure it wouldn't be our turn to enter the palace now.

"Originally, I just wanted Yuan'er to marry a close family friend and become a clan wife, but who knew she would be chosen by the higher-ups?

"It is now certain that Yuan'er will enter the palace. You all know my eldest daughter-in-law, she is a piece of wood! You can't rely on her in the future!

"Besides, the title of the Rong Mansion belongs to the eldest branch, not the second branch, so it can't fall into my hands. I'm seeking this title for the Wang family, so we agreed to let Fengge'er marry into the family.

"By then, the entire Rongguo Mansion will be under the control of our Wang family - what's the problem with that?" Jia Wangshi spoke clearly and confidently.

Wang Ziteng also stroked his beard and frowned, looking at Old Madam Wang.

Yu's eyes turned red as she said to Madam Wang: "My eldest sister said before that Feng Ge'er is good friends with their second master Lian. If this is true, then I have failed to teach my niece well and I have failed my brother and sister-in-law's trust.

"——Feng Ge'er has a frivolous character. Even Jia Luan and the girls in my mother's family will have their reputations damaged because of my negligence and immorality!

"But that's not true! My eldest sister made it up to trick us!

"Mother, please judge for yourself. No matter what the reason is, since they want to marry, they want to make friends. How can the Jia family resort to such a vicious method?!

"This is not a marriage, but an enmity!

"Does he look down on Feng Ge'er, or does he look down on me, or does he think that everyone in the Wang family is a fool?"

Old Madam Wang glared at Jia Wangshi and comforted her daughter-in-law first: "She did something wrong. I'll ask her to apologize to you."

After receiving Wang Ziteng's hesitant and inquiring gaze, he sighed and said, "But your sister is also wholeheartedly planning for our Wang family, not to mention the intentions of the higher-ups..."

After a pause, Madam Wang slowly said to Yu's pale face, "If you don't want Feng'er to marry over there, then only your daughter can marry over there in the future.

"At the very least, you have to marry your son off to a woman from the Jia family.

"what do you say?"

Yu immediately shut her mouth.

Although Jia Wang's methods were despicable, they did not cause any harm to her own children. She was just feeling embarrassed.

To see how rotten the Jia family is now, just look at her sister-in-law’s desperate behavior.

She would never let her delicate little daughter marry into this family and suffer!

"Then let's do it this way, just as we agreed before." Old Lady Wang struck while the iron was hot and made the final decision.

Wang Ziteng then hesitated and said, "Then what about this arranged marriage..."

"My daughter Yuanchun has been selected and will enter the palace in ten days." Jia Wangshi said calmly, "The imperial edict came yesterday afternoon."

Wang Ziteng and Old Lady Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Yuanchun is dignified and virtuous. This is what we expected."

Yu glanced at Jia Wang coldly and said nothing.

"Isn't it enough for one of our relatives to enter the palace?" Jia Wangshi was confident, "The Wang family should just show their appreciation. Report a serious illness tomorrow and give an explanation to the higher-ups."

"Let's wait two more days. The decree has just arrived today, and Feng'er will be sick tomorrow. It will seem like we are deliberately going against the emperor."

Madam Wang looked at Yu gently and said, "I'd better leave this matter to you. Brother Feng is close to you."

Yu opened her mouth, but seeing her husband's cold eyes, she swallowed her anger and agreed, "Yes."

When the matter was settled, Jia Wang stood up with a smile, feeling very proud and proud, and left.

Wang Ziteng and Yu also came out of the main room.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu complained to Wang Ziteng: "You are confused! The emperor is old, even if you enter the palace and are favored, it will only be a flash in the pan!

"Besides, you think your sister will help you, but think about it, Yuanchun's last name is Jia, and Feng'er's last name is Wang!

"Yuanchun can get close to the Jia family and distance herself from you. Can Fengge get close to anyone other than the Wang family?"

Wang Ziteng scolded impatiently: "What do you know? Do you think it's easy to enter the palace?!"

"Feng'er is a hundred times more beautiful than Yuanchun! If Yuanchun can enter, why can't Feng'er?" Yu was not convinced.

Wang Ziteng was helpless: "Yuanchun has been well-read since childhood, and was personally educated by the old lady of the Jia family. She has a good temperament and can endure anything.

"But what about Feng Ge'er? He has a domineering personality and will make a scene if he doesn't agree with something.

"Look at her today. She got angry with her aunt right in front of us. How can she be so good-tempered?!

“If she really enters the palace, those rules will kill her in three days!

"By then you won't feel it's an honor, but a burden instead!"

That makes sense...

Only then did Yu give up in disappointment.

"The teaching aunt has just arrived today, so you should comfort her and arrange for her to live with Feng Ge'er.

"After a day or two, people will understand Feng'er's character.

"When the time comes, we can just give a subtle hint and then report a serious illness. That's it."

Wang Ziteng made all the arrangements carefully, and Yu just listened.

The couple separated at the fork in the road. Wang Ziteng went out to the study in the front yard, while Yu gathered her spirits and went to meet the aunt who taught her with a smile on her face.

On the side of the road, a shrike fluttered away.

As for the direction, it is exactly the pavilion in the lotus pond in the back garden.

……

When Wang Xifeng returned to her courtyard, Wang Jialuan was fiddling with a small gold-inlaid and gem-inlaid clock that she had just bought on her desk in her room:

"Sister Feng, your clock is so beautiful. Where did you get it? I'll ask my mother to buy me one too!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and waved her hand: "You have a very good eye! Take it away!

"That was just brought from Guangzhou by my mother's dowry shop. There is only one of its kind in the whole capital, and even if you have money, you can't buy it anywhere else!"

Wang Jialuan smiled and lay on the table, with her arms around Na Zhong, and said sweetly: "My sister is the person who loves me the most in the world!"

After saying this, he called the maid, picked up the clock, and went back.

Just before leaving the room, he remembered and turned around to stick out his tongue and make faces at Wang Xifeng: "I forgot all about it! I came here to congratulate my sister!

"Good sister, tomorrow you will become the prince's favorite concubine, don't forget to get me some new things!"

Wang Xifeng spat at her and blushed, "You are just a young girl, yet you are so shameless. What do you mean by a favorite concubine? That's what you should say!

"Why don't you hurry up? I'll tell Second Aunt!"

Wang Jialuan then ran away with a smile.

Wang Xifeng ordered someone to close the door and change clothes. She said she was tired, waved Ping'er and An'er away, and fell on the couch under the moon-shaped window.

Another bird landed outside the window and waited for a long time. When she lay down, it began to chirp softly.

Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and listened.

After a while, he opened his eyes, sneered, and turned to the black cat lying on the footstool:

"Did you hear that?

"I would like to go to the palace to do errands for you as you said, but unfortunately, they won't let me."

The black cat raised its head and meowed.

Wang Xifeng lazily turned over and closed her eyes again: "I know.

"They do their thing, and I sleep mine."

The black cat stood up, shook its body, and meowed twice.

"If you want to go and watch the fun, go ahead. Don't use the excuse of gathering information for me." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and snorted, "I have plenty of spies outside.

"As long as I want to know, what can escape my eyes?!"

The black cat walked out with a shy look on its face, not daring to say a word.

The parrot on the moon-shaped window shelf looked at the black cat sympathetically.

This idiot, it’s been more than a year and he still doesn’t know Lady Phoenix’s temper, he really deserves to be scolded!
