Chapter 201 see the wind and make the rudder
It was no secret that Mingxiu came out of the palace safely. The next day, Mrs. Zhao came to the door with Zhao Xiyuan, saying: Apologize.
"It's our fault that the princess has been wronged by the unruly servant." Mrs. Zhao, an old man, smiled in front of Mingxiu's family, which made people feel uncomfortable.
But that doesn't mean they can't see what Mrs. Zhao's intention is.
If Mingxiu was somehow implicated in the emperor's poisoning and convicted, then even if her position as princess was not taken away, it would only be in vain, and it was unclear whether she could get married.
Zhao Xiyuan will naturally not marry her again.
But the Ming family's property is still very rich.
At least compared to the Zhao family.
After being convicted, they could still marry Mingxiu into the family. Even if she was a concubine, it would be beneficial to the Ming family, and the dowry would naturally be indispensable.
Because of entering the house like this, Mingxiu couldn't hold her head high in the Zhao family. If the Zhao family wanted to use her dowry, would she dare to say anything?
But the Zhao family thought a lot, but never expected that Mingxiu could come out with all his beard and tail intact.
That's all. After all, what happened to her in the palace, the palace would be a little angry at Mingxiu, right?
Look how she came back?
That was escorted personally by the guards around the regent!
This kind of pampering is probably the best among all the noble ladies in the capital.
Mrs. Zhao finally realized something was wrong and immediately came over to apologize to Mingxiu.
"Old Mrs. Zhao is joking. Your Zhao family has high standards, so the girls in our family are naturally only worthy of being concubines." Ming's mother was resentful. Although there were many people who secretly looked down on her, in front of her she
It's the first time.
Although her words were tit for tat, they were also the exact words of the person sent by the Zhao family.
These words should not be said without hurting one's heart. Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth to argue.
But Ming's mother waved her hand and said: "Old madam and the young master, please go back. Although my girl is not rich in wealth, she will never take someone as a concubine."
"What do you mean? The servant took matters into his own hands. I have already taken care of him. But please don't let a cunning servant ruin the friendship between our two families."
Even if he is a slave who deceives his master, how can he go to the house of the person who is proposing marriage and say this without permission?
Mrs. Zhao didn't believe anyone's words. She just wanted to find an excuse. She knew it couldn't be justified, but she had to test the Ming family's attitude.
"My family's threshold is low, how can I have any friendship with your family? Mrs. Zhao, please come back."
Although the Zhao family seems to be prosperous now, Ye Ziming once analyzed with Ming's mother that the only person in their family who is famous now is Zhao Xiyuan's father. From now on, Zhao Xiyuan will just donate a child. Want a high position?
It's impossible.
So it doesn't matter if they are at odds with the Zhao family now, not to mention that this incident itself is the Zhao family's bullying.
Mrs. Zhao came with a smile on her face and left angrily.
Although she knew before coming here that the Ming family would definitely make sarcastic remarks, she never thought that a country man with little knowledge would dare to insult him directly.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't hold back her anger, let alone Zhao Xiyuan.
"Grandma and grandson have said not to come. The Ming family doesn't know how to show appreciation, so why should we rush forward? There are countless girls in Tongdu who are better than her, so why bother?"
From the bottom of his heart, he never thought highly of Mingxiu. He said he wanted to marry her before, but that was because his parents analyzed the pros and cons for him, and finally concluded that marrying Mingxiu was the lowest-cost and high-return option, so he agreed to propose marriage.
Although it was not his idea to have the traitor come to the door, he secretly promoted it.
In Zhao Xiyuan's heart, Mingxiu was really just worthy of being his concubine.
"What do you know?!" Mrs. Zhao was furious and glared at her grandson, "Don't listen to your mother's confusion. Although Princess Zhaohe seems to have a low reputation, look at the prince's treatment of her.
She thinks highly of her, and the old sister of the Zhen family is polite to her, let alone us?!"
When she was young, her family background was almost the same as that of Mrs. Zhen, but who could expect that Mrs. Zhen had given birth to a good daughter and a good grandson?
Mrs. Zhen's status is considered to be very high in the capital. She is so polite to Mingxiu, not to mention the Zhao family who seems to be prosperous but is actually weak inside?
Being able to marry a princess is more than just a good reputation!
Zhao Xiyuan was still a little unconvinced, "They say Princess Showa and the Prince Regent are close, but who knows if there is any relationship between them?"
He doesn't want to be that turtle bastard.
"Don't talk nonsense. Who is the regent? If he is really related to the princess, how could no news come out at all? If it is true, does the old sister of the Zhen family know about it? Can she tell you about her? You
, just because your mother taught you bad things!”
Mrs. Zhao shook her head, not wanting to argue with Zhao Xiyuan any more. Her whole life's wisdom was at fault because she didn't know how to choose a daughter-in-law.
At this time, Mingxiu had put on a comfortable tulle outfit and was leaning lazily on Ming's mother's back.
"Xiu'er, what do you think the Zhao family's ancestors and grandchildren are here for?"
"When you see me come back with all my strength, I will steer you when the wind blows." Summer makes people lazy. Mingxiu looked a little drowsy as she looked at the warm yellow sunlight coming in from outside.
Dissatisfied with her attitude, Ming's mother turned around and patted her, "Then... what do you think of the gift they sent?"
She didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family. It didn't seem right to accept gifts from others for nothing, but it seemed even worse to return them now.
It seems that their family is angry.
"Aren't there many refugees outside the city? Convert it into money and exchange it for food, and treat it as a kindness."
No matter how much they gave away, it was of no use to their family members themselves. As long as they kept this in mind, they wouldn't be afraid that the Zhao family would use it to exploit the situation in the future.
Ming's mother couldn't help but her eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes, why didn't you think of it? I'll send someone to do it right away."
After Feng Feng Huo Huo gave the instructions, she turned back to look at Ming Xiu and saw that she was about to fall asleep. She felt a little resentful that iron could not turn into steel.
"I'm talking about Xiu'er, why haven't you gone out these days? Didn't you like to run out the most in the past? You are young and active only when you are active!"
I haven't gone out these days. It's really not like Mingxiu's style.
On weekdays, when didn't she run out all day and only come home when it was almost dark? Ming's mother was still a little uncomfortable before. Where could any girl's family be like this?
But then I got used to it.
On the contrary, now she is not used to Mingxiu not running outside.
"There are some troubles in the capital. It's not just me. My parents, brother and sister-in-law should also stop running away recently."
Holding her chin, Mingxiu thought about her words carefully. It was not easy for her to explain the matters in the palace to Ming's mother in detail. It would be bad for her to know too much.
But it was such unclear remarks that made people most worried. Ming's mother's face straightened, "Xiu'er, tell the truth to mother, are you causing trouble outside and are you going to stay at home to avoid trouble these days?"
"...There is no one who avoids trouble in his own home." Mingxiu rubbed her brows helplessly. Since Mingmu learned how to read, she seemed to have read too much in the script, "I can't explain the specific reason in detail.
Anyway, nothing will happen if we don’t go out, remember to tell your brother and sister-in-law."
If it was really to avoid disaster, she should be thinking of running away with her family, right?
Instead of just staying at home.
Ming's mother rubbed the tip of her nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "Okay, as long as there's nothing bad, I won't ask any questions. I'll go tell your sister-in-law soon, where is your brother..." Recently, Ye Ziming and Miao Manman are not together.
Ming's mother was helpless about this.
"I'll go talk to my elder brother."
Although she didn't know what kind of conflict the couple was having, Mingxiu felt that it would be better for them to resolve their own matters themselves. If the dispute wasn't too big, even if they were family members, it would be best not to get involved in emotional matters, otherwise it would be self-defeating.
Nodding, Ming's mother did not ask further. After a while, she couldn't help but warned again: "If there is anything, you must tell me. Although your father and I are not of much use, we can still help you share the burden."
It’s done.”
Mingxiu was touched and funny at the same time: "I understand."
On the other side of Ye Ziming, he had already heard about it from Xie Zhan. This time Mingxiu came to the door, he waved his hand carelessly, "I have nothing to do outside, so it doesn't matter if I don't go out. But it's your sister-in-law, her natal family
It's just in the village, I have to go back from time to time to check on her, and I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to convince her not to go out."
Miao Manman has been learning from Mingxiu recently. She runs out every day and only stays home for meals. Although Ming's father and Ming's mother are a little dissatisfied with such a daughter-in-law, it's hard to say anything, not even complaining to Ye Ziming.
.
On the contrary, Ye Ziming was a little dissatisfied with Miao Manman's actions.
