The old lady is reborn

At today's family dinner, He Shao saw that his parents, sister and Jing Zhong all looked very loving, and he himself was struggling inside.

My wife is a very good person, but I am sorry for her. I have erected a tomb and a monument for Weng Chuping, who did not marry me, and regarded her as my first wife. How should I bury my wife and set up the monument in the future? I and Wenshu will have children in the future, so how should I offer sacrifices to the children?

I had never thought about these things before, but now I think about it and I feel sorry for Wenshu. Life and death and status are all big matters. No wonder she is angry with him now.

Thinking of this, he would frequently glance at Wen Shu during the meal. She was a good girl, with good looks, good manners, and she got along well with her mother and sister.

My father was also satisfied with this marriage. But I turned a regret into harm to another innocent person.

If the estrangement lasts for a long time, it will become an obstacle that is difficult to overcome. I am a man and it is my fault that I did not do the job well.

He Shaoben was thinking about going to Wenshu's yard after the reunion dinner and having a chat. Now that things had come to this, he really wanted to live a good life with Wenshu.

But halfway through he met a maid from He Xian's yard, so he changed his route and went to He Xian's yard.

After seeing the box of things and the letter, He Shao forgot all his guilt towards his wife.

Her heart was filled with unspeakable pain and pity for Weng Chuping. What kind of state of mind was she in to write such a letter?

He Shao wished he could go to heaven or hell, even to the azure sky or the underworld. If she could come back alive, he would be willing to pay any price.

He Xian reminded him that his sister-in-law Wen Shu already knew about it, but he seemed to have heard nothing.

He Shao carried the box of things and the letter in his arms and returned to his yard.

After that, he didn't go out for three days. He Xian left her parents' home with Jing Zhong with a nervous heart, and her brother didn't even come to see her off.

Facing her sister-in-law who probably already knew about this past, He Xian wanted to say something, but felt that nothing she said would be appropriate.

He wanted to comfort and advise his brother, but was turned away.

When her sister-in-law Wenshu saw He Xian's hesitation when she saw him off, she advised, "We are all in Kyoto, and we can see each other often on weekdays."

He Xian walked away, looking back every few steps. Her brother never showed up, and she felt uneasy.

……

Wen Shu has been thinking about how to live in the future recently.

There is a person who keeps appearing in my mind, Lady Song Ying, the Protector of the Nation.

She thought of Rong Huaian, one of He Shao's good friends. His mother, Lady Protector of the Nation Song Ying, was an old lady who was a hot topic in Kyoto.

She even heard a lot about it in Jinling County. Her father was the governor of Jinling County and was very concerned about the changes in Kyoto, so he left people in Kyoto.

However, many of the news that came back were about "matters" in Lady Huguo's family. This was not surprising, as many things, good and bad, had happened in Lady Huguo's family, and many of them were big things.

At the beginning, she directly competed for the military uniform business as the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion and the daughter of the Emperor's tutor. Many people looked down on her and felt that she was lowering her status.

Why would they do such a thing? The private shop of the lord's wife is just a pocket money, and it is just for the convenience of what they use and eat. Why do they really compete with businessmen for profit?

Even if he really values ​​these profits, his own end would be embarrassing. He is old now, so he might as well let his subordinates do it.

Later, after Lady Huguo took over the military uniform business, she seemed to have freed up her hands to reorganize her own private shops and farms.

A group of people were replaced, and two people who had worked in her house for many years left because they betrayed their master and could no longer make it in Kyoto.

Wen Shu thought, no wonder the old lady wanted to do everything herself. According to those discussions, she used to devote herself to her children and grandchildren, and the things she had in her hands were just some supplementary money.

She hadn't paid attention to it for many years. When she wanted to do something, wouldn't she have to do it herself? She must have had no suitable person at hand at that time.

Old Madam Song was not afraid of anyone's gaze or comments at all, and she did whatever she wanted to do. Now Wen Shu needed such courage.

Later, a little maid from the Duke of Anguo's mansion and a constable accidentally uncovered the conspiracy behind the military uniforms.

The discussion among those people turned into that Song Ying had seized the military uniform business, destroyed the Six Kings, used his own people to take over the business, and then intended to tamper with the military uniforms.

If she had not been standing there, pretending to be nice to the six kings, the completed summer clothes would have been sabotaged long ago, causing the army's morale to be shaken, and the winter clothes would not have been preserved either.

She is worthy of being the daughter of the Emperor's teacher.

Others said that the late emperor must have ordered her to do this, after all, Song Ying's father, brother and Song Ying were all people trusted by the late emperor.

Then, Song Ying, who was over fifty years old, moved out of the Marquis' Mansion and filed for divorce at the age of a grandmother.

When Rong Ruozhi was brutally murdered by her ex-brother-in-law, Song Ying announced to the public that the body was in a terrible state and that they had taken the corpse from the police station and buried it directly without any funeral ceremony.

These two things are always discussed, but Lady Protector of the Country doesn't care at all.

It was even said that anyone who wanted to pay their respects at Rong Ruozhi's tomb could go there.

Later, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the gravekeeper spread the word that no one came to pay their respects, which made those who were clamoring feel a little embarrassed.

After Nie Quan was arrested, she drove out Rong Ruomei, who was living in her house. It is said that Rong Ruomei and Song Ying's grandchildren said that Song Ying was cruel and did not even hold a funeral for their husband and wife who had been married for almost a lifetime.

When Song Ying found out, she kicked her out. Rong Ruomei had no choice but to rent a house outside and started a dowry lawsuit with the Nie family.

Naturally, people also talked about Song Ying's decision to drive people away.

When Wen Shu accompanied her mother-in-law out, people in Kyoto might not know her very well. She had heard old ladies of the same age as Lady Huguo talking about how they were all on good terms with Song Ying when she was the old lady of the marquisate who devoted herself to her children and grandchildren.

But now, Madam Protector of the Nation is too eccentric, and these old ladies are quite puzzled in their words, and seem to be dissatisfied with what Song Ying did. Many of them said, "We don't interact much anymore.

Although I misunderstood her at first, she is different now. She is getting more and more energetic as she grows older. We old-fashioned people who follow the rules should stop trying to marry the Lady Protector of the Nation."

The more Wen Shu listened, the more he felt that Madam Song was a person with inner determination and composure, and that this kind of determination and composure was what he lacked right now.

Confused about the future, she wanted to meet Lady Protector of the Nation.
