In fact, Mu Huailu just came back this time and felt that her mother-in-law's attitude was a little wrong. The current performance confirmed her guess even more. However, the word "filial piety" was pressed down on her head. Mu Huailu couldn't talk back to her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law said she was not strong enough. She wanted to leave the matter in the mansion and run back to her parents' home to visit relatives, which would inevitably make people poke the backbone.
Therefore, Mu Huailu didn't say much, just lowered her eyes and agreed, "Then let my mother rest well. Leave the old lady's birthday to me."
Mu Huailu was so obedient that Duke Dingguo's wife couldn't take the opportunity to vent her anger again, so she asked her daughter-in-law to go back.
After a few days, it was the birthday of the old lady of Dingguo Duke. Ji Zishan originally planned to go to Ning Mansion to pay his birthday. But the day before the incident came, her good friend suddenly arrived. So, Ji Zishan's birthday trip had to be abandoned, and only the little prince Yuanbao went there.
In the early morning half a month later, Ji Zishan was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and suddenly she was anxiously pushed by Mama Su Rong. Ji Zishan rubbed her eyes and hummed, "Mama Rong, what are you doing? Isn't it too early this day..."
Mama Su Rong's face looked a little ugly, and she replied in a low voice: "Princess, the old lady is dead."
Ji Zishan was pushed to death in her sleep, and her mind was still confused at this moment. When she heard the words of Su Rong Mama, she only subconsciously asked: "Old lady? Which old lady?"
Mama Su Rong said with a heavy expression: "...it is the old lady of Dingguo Duke, your grandmother."
Ji Zishan's mind suddenly became awake.
My mother suddenly passed away. Empress Dowager Hui'an had to go out of the palace to look around. Ji Zishan hurriedly packed up Ji Zishan also followed. At this time, the Ning Mansion had already pulled up the white curtain, and cried in the Tingling Room. Empress Dowager Hui'an burst into tears for a while before asking what was going on. Duke Ding, who looked sad, told the empress dowager that the old lady was fine before going to bed last night. Unexpectedly, when the maid went to call this morning, the old lady was already exhausted. She must have passed away in her sleep.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Hui'an didn't ask much about it. Life and death are destined to be free, and no one can break free. Looking at the deceased mother's expression, she was very quiet and peaceful, as if she was still sleeping.
However, even if her mother left peacefully, Empress Dowager Hui'an could not help but feel sad. Ji Zishan paused her date with Mu Huaiqian and devoted herself to accompanying Empress Dowager Hui'an to relieve her boredom. By the time she saw Mu Huaiqian again, she had already entered early winter from midsummer.
"Mu Huaiqian, are you having any worries?" Although Mu Huaiqian kept talking to him with a smile, Ji Zishan just felt that Mu Huaiqian seemed to have something to do.
Mu Huaiqian was slightly stunned, then smiled gently and said, "No."
"No?" Ji Zishan held her cheeks lazily, squinted her eyes and threatened, "General Mu, do you know what serious consequences will be for lying to this princess?"
Mu Huaiqian couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are the consequences?"
Ji Zishan shook her beautiful little fist and said fiercely: "I will never ask you to touch your little hand again."
Mu Huaiqian: "..." The consequences are indeed a bit serious.
Thinking of the recent troubles, Mu Huaiqian, who had never liked the right and wrong of Taoist people, pursed his lips and started to speak in a low voice. He never thought that after he and the little princess of Peach Blossoms gave him a marriage, he would cause trouble for his elder sister. In previous years, the elder sister would always come to her house in less than two days every year when she went back to Beijing to visit relatives. However, this time, the servant lady sent back at the time said that because the wife of the Duke of Dingguo was not feeling well, the elder sister wanted the housekeeper to hold her birthday and could not escape the kung fu, so she said she would come back in a few days.
At that time, he had not returned from the military camp, and his brother and sister-in-law in Beijing didn't think too much after hearing the news.
After all, if the wife of Dingguo Duke was really sick, the eldest sister would not be in a hurry to leave her relatives. Two days later, he happened to go back to Beijing. Because he didn't have to date the little princess that day, he went directly to Ningfu to see his eldest sister. Ningfu often went to Ningfu as a regular customer. According to etiquette, he first went to the old lady of Dingguo. The old lady of Dingguo Duke was kind and knew that he was here to meet his eldest sister, so he ordered the maid to take him to find the eldest sister.
The eldest sister was resting in the room. When he saw that the eldest sister was not in good spirits, he asked what was wrong. The eldest sister said tactfully that she had a menstrual period, so he didn't ask much questions. As soon as the brother and brother had a date, an old lady came to ask for a meeting. Mu Huaiqian had seen this woman and knew that she was by the wife of Dingguo Duke. As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she asked her to check the arrangement of the birthday hall again. The eldest sister's expression was a little bad at that time.
After sending the woman away, the confidant woman beside her elder sister couldn't help but complain.
Only then did Mu Huaiqian realize that since his elder sister returned to Beijing, the wife of Dingguo Duke has always been asking for trouble for her elder sister. How could she say that the troubles she asked for were big or small, and she was just doing disgusting people. When asked the reason, it turned out that he became the fourth son-in-law. The wife of Dingguo Duke felt sorry for her youngest son who was hurt, so she exuded a lot of resentment to her elder sister.
Mu Huaiqian was almost stunned by the wife of Dingguo Duke. What kind of logic is this?
After all, Duke Dingguo was an elder, so he couldn't confront him in person, so he was going to talk to Ning Yuze. However, his elder sister grabbed him and said that she couldn't stay in the capital for long, so she told him not to go and cause another trouble.
Unexpectedly, the old wife of Dingguo Duke passed away shortly after her birthday. The Ning family was mourning. All those who had an official position returned home, and the eldest brother-in-law also rushed back from Jiangnan.
After the funeral of the old lady of Dingguo, the old lady of Dingguo did not restrain herself and still tormented her elder sister. He could no longer hold back his temper, so he went to Ning Yuze to talk to him. Of course, his elder sister was not a soft temper who was just tolerant. It was difficult for a daughter-in-law to contradict her mother-in-law. The elder sister encouraged her elder brother-in-law to take action. She was persuaded by her two sons to make trouble. The mentality of the Duke of Dingguo suddenly... collapsed.
My eldest brother-in-law was scolded for having a wife and forgot her mother, and Ning Yuze was scolded for not knowing how to be a mother.
After the death of the old wife of Dingguo, the wife of Dingguo became the first female relative of the Ning family. The female relatives next to him were not qualified to scold him. As a husband, Duke Ningguo has this qualification. When he knew that his wife was still making a frustration as the prince consort, he scolded Duke Dingguo. The duke Dingguo had been holding back for a long time. Before, the mother-in-law could not cry and the husband was not able to complain. The accumulated evil fire finally broke out after his mentality collapsed.
After the couple had a big fight, Duke Dingguo stayed in the study all day long. Duke Dingguo was so upset that he fell ill. His mother-in-law was sick, so how could his daughter-in-law not come to serve him? So there was another stir. Until now, the overall atmosphere of Ningfu is still stalemate.
When Mu Huaiqian told Ji Zishan about his troubles, he did not say in detail. He simply mentioned the causes and consequences, and then talked about the current situation of Ning Mansion.
Seriously speaking, the behavior of the Duke of Dingguo is not a big mistake. Every family has more or less problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She has children for the Ning family and has been in charge of the family business for many years. No matter how bad the Duke of Dingguo is in harmony with his old wife, he will not give up on her. The eldest sister cannot make a divorce because of the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is not too excessive, so that outsiders can judge and discuss it, but they are afraid that they will say that the Mu family is making a big deal.
The wife of the Duke of Dingguo cannot be abandoned, and her eldest sister cannot be separated. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who are no longer in harmony must continue to live under the same roof. Mu Huaiqian was so upset when he thought of the life his eldest sister lived now.
"Your sister's life is not going well now, so why don't you blame me?" Ji Zishan asked Mu Huaiqian after hearing this.
Mu Huaiqian rubbed the forehead of the little princess Peach Blossom and sighed in a low voice: "What does this have to do with you? I just..." The crux of this matter lies with the wife of Dingguo. If she could not overcome this hurdle in one day, her eldest sister's life would be bumpy. After all, it would be easy for her mother-in-law to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry." Ji Zishan patted Comrade Mu Huaiqian on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'll take care of this matter."
Mu Huaiqian looked puzzled and said, "You care? How do you care?" To be honest, if Duke Ding Guo was a man, he would have communicated with her with fists. The Duke Ding Guo was a woman and an elder. My eldest sister would not allow him to get involved again. He was really annoyed.
"It's very simple, tell my mother. The Ning family's eldest aunt has become a mess because of the eldest aunt. My mother will definitely not sit idly by." Ji Zishan replied confidently. Since she locked De Tai's nobleman in the cold palace and fled herself, Empress Dowager Hui'an has devoted herself to her old age and rarely cares about the little things outside the palace, unless the little things take the initiative to float in front of her.
Mu Huaiqian hesitated and said, "Is it not good to disturb the Empress Dowager..."
"What you said can disturb my mother. Don't worry, my mother won't think you have a long tongue." Ji Zishan said again.
Mu Huaiqian: “…”
After seeing off Mu Huaiqian, Ji Zishan went to find the little prince Yuanbao. After she snatched the book from the little prince Yuanbao, she immediately made a conversation. Mu Huaiqian's words just now were unclear. She needed to know what the Ning Mansion was now, so this important task naturally requires you to ask the little prince Yuanbao.
