Chapter 407: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 11

Prince Yong was treated coldly by Nian Gengyao and was in a depressed mood. On the one hand, he was angry that Nian Gengyao did not appreciate his kindness, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would not get support from the Nian family even if the marriage was arranged.

Seeing their political opponents being humiliated, Prince Lian and his party, who had lost the battle for the Nian family, could not help but step forward to mock them. The Ninth Prince was even more vicious and directly asked Prince Yong if he looked down on the Nian family.

"Fourth brother, are you sure that the power of the Nian family is yours after the emperor's decree? If so, how can you expect Nian Gengyao to believe that he can benefit from following you?"

"Eighth brother, looking at Nian Gengyao's expression today, I think he wants to give up my sister." Ninth Prince's words were not entirely sarcastic, but contained some speculation.

However, the Tenth Prince seemed to have thought of something after hearing this, and immediately replied:

"That's true, brother Nine. Although Miss Nian is Nian Gengyao's favorite sister, doesn't the Nian family have a concubine's daughter? I think it will be the same when the concubine's daughter grows up."

Prince Lian's eyes lit up when he heard what the Tenth Prince said. Yes, although the Nian family only had one legitimate daughter, Nian Shilan, it didn't mean that concubines were completely useless. Wasn't Nian Gengyao also a concubine's son? Even if he loved his sister, which sister wasn't a sister? It would be the same if he lost the legitimate daughter of the Nian family and got the concubine's daughter of the Nian family.

Before Prince Yong had time to say a word, Prince Lian and others had already walked away. He naturally heard what the three of them said, but he was just confused about what had happened. Why did Nian Gengyao feel that he was untrustworthy and did not want to support him, and even gave up his most beloved sister?

"Su Peisheng, has anything special happened in the mansion recently?"

During this period, Yinzhen has been busy with his work in other places and has only returned to Beijing in recent days. He has given full authority to Yixiu to arrange the entry of his concubine Nian Shilan into the mansion. In Yinzhen's heart, although he doesn't like Yixiu, he still trusts her as a concubine. Yixiu has managed the affairs of the mansion very well before, and there has never been any trouble. Naturally, he will not suspect that Yixiu is doing something intentional now.

Su Peisheng was completely confused. He had just heard about the rumors in the capital. He had originally wanted to find a time to tell the prince, but he didn't expect that Prince Lian had beaten him to it.

As a bystander, Su Peisheng could see clearly what the lady was thinking, but as a servant, there were some things he could not tell and could only pretend not to know. Now that his master asked, Su Peisheng had to step forward and explain in a cold sweat.

"The wife gave the courtyard to the concubine some time ago, and somehow the news got out."

"How did the news from the mansion get out?"

Yinzhen was somewhat dissatisfied. If Yixiu couldn't even close the door and prevent the news of Prince Yong's residence from spreading, then she, as a concubine, was really incompetent. "It's just a separate courtyard. If it spreads outside, it won't cause misunderstanding to the Nian family, right?"

"It's not considered as neglecting the Nian family that the head of the family's mother arranged a residence for the concubine herself, right?"

If the Nian family really believes that Prince Yong's Mansion has neglected the girls of their family because the courtyard was chosen by Fu Jin instead of themselves, then I have to think carefully about whether such a spoiled Nian family is worthy of my courtesy?

"Master, it's not because of this."

Su Peisheng racked his brains to think about how he could make Fu Jin's petty behavior sound better, "Fu Jin was worried that Miss Nian would feel lonely after leaving home for the first time, so she specially arranged for two princesses to live with her..."

"I don't want people to misunderstand and think that Fu Jin and Ye look down on the Nian family, or that they can't afford to support a princess in the backyard. The concubine of a prince can't even live in an independent courtyard..."

It's over. No matter how I beautify it, it doesn't sound right. Su Peisheng secretly glanced at Yinzhen's expression and saw that his face had completely darkened. The string of eighteen beads in his hand also stopped. He knew that Yinzhen's anger had reached a certain point at this time.

"presumptuous!"

No matter how tactful Su Peisheng's words were, Yinzhen understood why Yixiu did what she did. Not only the ladies in the palace, but even the Nian family understood it.

Before Nian Shilan entered the mansion, Fu Jin was already thinking about placing someone in her courtyard. Not only did she want to share her favor with him, she also didn't want to give Nian Shilan, the concubine, a chance to be alone with him.

Why did the Nian family support me? Of course, it was for a win-win situation. If the young lady of the Nian family was not favored, how could they be willing to bet? This person had not even entered the mansion, but he was already guarded like this. How could the Nian family not doubt his sincerity?

"Idiot! A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter. No matter what, she can never compare to Rouze."

Although Yinzhen did not mention any names, how could Su Peisheng not know who Yinzhen was scolding? He looked at his nose and his heart, as if he heard nothing, and dared not say a word.

Originally, Yinzhen had planned to win over the Nian family by favoring Nian Shilan as he did in his previous life. But now, before she even entered the mansion, most of the Nian family had already been offended.

Even though Yinzhen later personally selected a bigger and better courtyard for Nian Shilan to live in, and personally proposed the name "Tongxinyuan", implying that he was of the same mind as Nian Shilan and his wife, it was still not enough to make the Nian family let down their guard.

Fortunately, according to the imperial edict, Nian Shilan's marriage into Prince Yong's mansion was a foregone conclusion, and Yinzhen was finally relieved. As for the support of the Nian family, it seemed that he had to wait until Nian Shilan entered the mansion and let the Nian family see his sincerity.

The sixth day of February was the day when Nian Shilan married into Prince Yong's mansion. Half a month ago, Prince Yong had supervised the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go through the wedding process carefully. In order to show his importance to Nian Shilan, Yinzhen even arranged pepper walls in the bridal chamber in Tongxin Courtyard and went to the mansion to pick up the bride in person.

Ever since the rumor came out, Yixiu has been exposed by her sisters-in-law. First, she was scolded by Yinzhen and had half of her housekeeper power taken away from her. Then she was called into the palace by Defei and scolded.

Defei didn't know why her cousin was so petty. Yes, those two princesses were indeed specially selected by her to be favored as concubines for different years, but she didn't ask Yixiu to use them like this.

Yixiu did it so obviously, who could not see it? Even the two princesses would be able to see it.

Defei's guess was correct. Feng Ruozhao did see it, but Fei Yunyan didn't figure it out for a while. She just felt that Fu Jin was not generous enough. Prince Yong's mansion was so big, but she only allocated a side room for herself to live in.

At the moment, the entire Prince Yong's mansion was decorated with lights and red silk all over the floor, and it was extremely lively. The princesses were all staying in their rooms and were not allowed to go out for fear of breaking the rules. In the backyard, only Concubine Li and Yi Xiu were sitting in the women's guest area to entertain guests.

Yixiu listened to the people's overt and covert ridicule, and the fake smile on her face was about to fall off. On the one hand, she was angry about who betrayed Prince Yong's Mansion and spread the news. On the other hand, she was heartbroken listening to the lively sound of gongs and drums in the front yard.

I still remember when she married Yinzhen, Yinzhen was just a bald prince at that time. The whole wedding was cold and deserted, not as lively as it is now, even not as lively as when Rouze married in.
