The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (sixty)

"Your Majesty, does the Queen Mother really want to find a poor scholar for the princess?"

In another small courtyard of the Han family, people were also talking about Han Jiaojiao's marriage.

The speaker was a woman in her thirties, not very beautiful, just delicate.

But her brows were very peaceful, her words were gentle, and she exuded delicacy and stability from her bones.

She is like a big sister, the way she looks at men is tolerant.

She is Han Chong's first favorite concubine, Aunt Wu. She was Han Chong's maid and has served him since she was a child.

Aunt Wu and Han Chong have been master and servant for more than 20 years, and their relationship is very complicated——

Master and servant! Siblings! Lovers! Relatives!

She never flattered, nor did she act arrogantly.

But her existence itself was like a thorn in the mistress's heart, piercing deeply into her heart.

Aunt Wu was not a "concubine" in the true sense of the word, but she became a famous flirtatious figure in Beijing.

The mistress was so angry that the male master had to bear the infamy of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife.

The daughter who was born still had a head above the eldest daughter of her original wife.

If you have never seen Aunt Wu, you will definitely imagine her as a stunning enchantress after hearing her "deeds".

And once you see her, you will have a doubt: That's it?!

He has an average appearance and is three years older than Han Chong.

It is better than gentleness and stability.

But there are a lot of people like this.

Why did Princess Yongjia suffer so much because of such an "old woman"?

Some people even think that Princess Yongjia is too much, jealous and intolerant, so that's why——

Aunt Wu is not deliberately performing to whitewash herself, she herself has such a temperament.

That's why Han Chong felt particularly distressed.

Even Mrs. Cheng'en also interceded for her in front of the Queen Mother.

"Um!"

Upon hearing Aunt Wu's question, Han Chong responded indifferently.

"Young man from a poor family, your background is too low!"

Aunt Wu's gentle face was full of concern, "The princess has a noble status and a fragile body. Isn't it too unfair to marry at such a low age?"

She was not pretending to be loving or generous, but was really worried about Han Jiaojiao.

Han Chong raised his head and looked at Aunt Wu intently. Seeing her sincere eyes, he said slowly: "This is what my aunt and cousin meant."

“And I think it’s pretty good too!”

Han Chong didn't have much affection for Han Jiaojiao, his daughter.

When Han Jiaojiao was born, his relationship with Princess Yongjia was the most tense.

Princess Yongjia insisted on driving Aunt Wu away, but Han Chong felt that she was being unreasonable and making trouble.

There were also Mrs. Chengen and his cousin in the middle, and the couple almost turned against each other.

Moreover, Han Jiaojiao is only four months older than the beloved daughter of Han Chong and Aunt Wu.

Han Chong's loving fatherly heart was all given to this concubine.

Later, when Princess Yongjia went to work with him, she died of illness in the local area, and Han Jiaojiao became increasingly transparent in the Han family.

Han Jiaojiao almost didn't survive a serious illness.

After the Queen Mother Han in Beijing heard about this, she immediately sent an old palace maid who had served Princess Yongjia to come and take Han Jiaojiao away.

This separation lasted three years.

Three years later, Han Chong was finally able to be transferred back to the capital.

Han Jiaojiao was also taken back to the Duke's Mansion.

However, on her first day back in Beijing, Han Jiaojiao fainted outside her front door.

Although the step-wife was scolded as "unkind", Han Chong, the father, was also dragged out and "whipped".

His bad deeds such as doting on concubines, killing his wife, angering his first wife to death, etc. were all uncovered.

Han Chong originally wanted to return to the capital for a big fight, but as a result, thanks to Han Jiaojiao, an unfilial daughter, Han Chong would be criticized every time he stepped out.

There were also some dandies who were jealous of his talents, and they tried their best to sneer and ridicule him.

When he went to the Yamen, his colleagues and subordinates looked at him very strangely.

It seems that he is an extremely heartless man and the biggest fool of the day!

Isn't that stupid?

He disrespected his wife who was of noble birth and had a generous dowry, but favored a lowly maid.

There was clearly an opportunity to make great achievements, but it was ruined because of the disaster in the inner court.

Some powerful generals in the army were even more irritated when they met him at the court meeting, and even pointed their noses at him and called him "bastard"!

"What do they know? They know nothing!"

"I, Han Chong! I was admitted as a scholar at the age of eighteen. I am proficient in horse riding and archery."

"Yunwen and Yunwu are the best among the new generation of disciples in Beijing."

As a result, just because he married Princess Yongjia, his talents were covered up.

Others would only say that he was lucky, relying on his status as consort and the shadow of the Huo family to be promoted!

nonsense!

He is not a coward relying on women.

Originally, Han Chong liked Princess Yongjia. She was such a bright and flamboyant woman, just like the most gorgeous peony flower.

However, Han Chong really couldn't stand the criticism from outsiders.

As if to prove himself, Han Chong deliberately promoted Aunt Wu and ignored Princess Yongjia.

Watching a delicate flower wither and fall day by day.

Princess Yongjia died, and Han Chong regretted it endlessly.

At the same time, she also felt guilty for the only daughter she left behind.

However, when people brought Han Jiaojiao over, Han Chong was extremely disappointed——

Is this his and Yongjia’s daughter?

Why are you so timid and cowardly?

He had a petty air all over his body, and he felt aggrieved, as if he had been badly abused.

She doesn't look like the daughter of his Han family at all.

Compared with the Pearl, there is no comparison.

Han Chong's inexplicable male chauvinism began to take hold, and he disliked Han Jiaojiao in every possible way.

Han Jiaojiao was already worried about losing her mother. When she finally met her only blood relative, she was deeply hurt by the indifference in his eyes.

She became more timid and inferior.

It's all my fault. I am not as good as my sister. I have embarrassed my mother and disappointed my father.

And the more she acted like this, the more Han Chong became disgusted.

In this way, we enter a vicious cycle.

Until Grandma Zhou picked the person up.

Han Chong almost forgot about the existence of Han Jiaojiao, his eldest daughter.

He regarded his concubine Han Mingzhu as the apple of his eye, enlightened and taught her personally.

Aunt Wu was standing aside, and the three of them looked happy and happy, just like a family of three.

However, all this beautiful life was completely shattered after Han Jiaojiao returned to Beijing.

Han Chong once again fell into the whirlpool of public opinion. Aunt Wu became infamous as the most beloved concubine, and Han Mingzhu, who was originally a young socialite in Beijing, was also implicated.

"It's all my fault, Han Jiaojiao, an unfilial daughter!"
