The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 355 Gong Xuan's Rebirth

The lady was silent. She held the old duke's hand and leaned gently on his shoulder, with a hint of sadness in her eyes filled with turbid tears.

The couple was still thinking about their own things when the lady suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't the third daughter-in-law also see you today? Why did she see you?"

Normally, the Rong family was not qualified to participate in such an important conversation.

Is the third room going to make a move?

Before the eldest brother could be pressed down, the third brother floated up.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The old prince was about to answer when Aunt Tang's voice came from outside: "Old Master, Old Madam, the Third Madam wants to see the Old Madam."

The old Duke had a headache: "Why is she here again? Aunt Tang, go tell the Third Madam that the old lady has gone to bed and ask her to go back."

Just as Aunt Tang was about to respond, the Madam gave the old Duke a glare and said, "Isn't it possible that I should know about the affairs of the women in the family? Aunt Tang, please ask the Third Madam to come in."

She wanted to hear what the third son's wife wanted to talk to her about.

The old Duke was helpless. He suddenly smiled and went to the inner room to avoid suspicion.

Rong came in quickly, with hurried steps, knelt down, greeted, and said earnestly: "Old lady, I want to ask you a question, in your previous life, did Mingchen marry a concubine? Whose daughter was she?"

She pondered over Shi Mingzhu's words and felt that the concubine was the original wife of Shi Mingchen in the second life.

The lady was startled when she saw her kneeling and was startled again when she heard these words.

She recalled her past life, and Rong actually knew about it. Who else wouldn't know about it?

Does Yao Yatou know?

How does he think of her now that he knows that he failed to protect her in both his lives?

The thought flashed through her mind, and the old lady took care of the matter at hand. She couldn't help but regret that she should have listened to the old man and not met Rong. She wanted to hear what annoying questions she asked!

"Who told you about the co-wife?" she asked. Then the lady realized what was going on. "It was Zhuzhu?"

Rong repeated Shi Mingzhu's words, hesitantly saying, "...Although I am ashamed to say it, the old lady is my family, and I will speak from the bottom of my heart. The most important thing for the third house right now is an heir.

My wife is looking forward to having a grandson day and night. If Mingchen gets married and has children earlier, and has more children, and gives them to Mingkui and Mingmo for adoption, his two brothers can also feel at ease sooner."

Because of the eunuch issue, the brothers Shi Mingkui and Shi Mingmo were almost ruined.

If you have children, your spirit and energy will be different, and you will be able to regain your confidence.

The lady was furious: "What do you want grandchildren for? Are you to torture them? You three branches have grandchildren, but who is willing to educate him well? The first and second branches didn't say anything, but who doesn't hate Brother Fan in their hearts?

The fact that Brother Fan has reached that point is largely related to the unkindness of you as parents and grandparents! Of course, the old man and I are the culprits, and we admit our fault.

If you want to marry a wife and raise grandchildren, you must first correct your attitude towards raising children. Without this attitude, it is better not to have children. Not having children will actually keep the whole family safe."

Rong's face flushed, and she said awkwardly, "Madam, I've regretted it for a long time. I've been competing with the Third Master for so many years, and I've delayed the education of Mingkui and the others.

I have repented now, and I am also trying my best to make amends to Brother Fan. However, Brother Fan had a prophetic dream and had the knowledge of his past life. He is very stubborn. My wife has tried hard, but he still refuses to get close to me.

The old lady thought to herself, those who bring trouble upon themselves will suffer the consequences, this saying of our ancestors was indeed true.

Forget it. If the third room continues to deteriorate, it will probably be the end of it.

"I just want to ask you one question. Now that Mingchen has a child, are you going to abandon Brother Fan?"

Rong was startled and waved her hands: "What are you thinking, old lady? Whoever gave up Fan Ge'er, I will never give up him. This child is hateful, that was a matter of the last life. I just pity him, I don't ask for anything else, just hope that he grows up safely."

The lady suddenly fell silent.

Rong was uneasy, not knowing why there was such silence.

After a while, the old lady slowly said, "Mingchen's concubine in his previous life was a girl from the Du family named Jin Hui. You don't know her, but the second son's wife is stationed at the border and interacts with the ladies of the noble families, so she must know her."

Regarding the issue of having a concubine, the Shi family was indeed unfair to Xie Qingdai.

In her previous life, she had made the decision for Xie Qingdai, but the child was too strong-willed and stubborn, and she had a lot of trouble with Mingchen. Mingchen was also stubborn, and the couple could not get along, and she could not force a cow to drink water.

Later, Shi Mingchen married a concubine. She only found out about it after he got married. It was too late to stop it, and she could only let them live in chaos.

Xie Qingdai also seemed to be reborn. If she knew that the Shi family took a concubine as a wife and Mingchen married Du Jinhui, the grudge between her and the Shi family would probably be even deeper.

However, the Shi family had a bad reputation, and Shi Mingchen could not find a wife in the capital. For the sake of having offspring, marrying Du Jinhui was a good choice.

The lady no longer fantasized about the scene where Shi Mingchen would achieve success in the future and hundreds of girls would come to ask for marriage. She waved her hand and said tiredly:

"Now that I've told you, you three houses should discuss finding a wife for Mingchen. If you can decide on it sooner, do it sooner, preferably before Yao gets married."

Rong cried with joy and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for telling me, old lady. I will discuss it with Mingchen right away."

But why should we do it before Shi Yao gets married?

This question flashed through Rong's mind, but she didn't think much about it. Seeing that the lady obviously didn't want to talk to her more, she happily left.

The old Duke in the inner room pondered over the words "before the little girl gets married" and his heart shuddered, and he felt sad for a moment.

*

Not to mention how happily Rong discussed getting married with Shi Mingchen, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the rice dumplings from the Duke's Mansion have also been delivered to the ancestral temple.

Both Zheng and Gong Xuan have a sweet taste. They ate salty rice dumplings with tears in their eyes.

There were many rice dumplings delivered, so the two of them ate one each and then went to beat the wooden fish and chant sutras.

Gong Xuan fell asleep while tapping.

Zheng didn't like chanting sutras, but there were no other books in this temple except Buddhist scriptures. She had no other way to pass this difficult time except chanting sutras.

She stood up, stretched her numb legs, and kicked Gong Xuan.

Gong Xuan curled up on the small cushion, motionless.

She was having a long dream.

In the dream, her mother taught her to listen to her aunt and obey her orders. Her aunt was the Crown Prince's wife and would be the Duke's wife in the future. Only by pleasing her aunt could they live a better life.

Gong Xuan read a few books when she was a girl and was aloof for a while, but after she faced the reality a little, she realized that what her mother said was right.

Her mother and aunt are sisters, her aunt is the elder sister and her mother is the younger sister.

One married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and became the mistress of the household, enjoying endless wealth and splendor; the other married a poor scholar, used her dowry to subsidize her in-laws, and gave birth to three children. Only then did the scholar barely pass the imperial examination and become a fellow Jinshi.

Her father got a seventh-rank official position because her mother curryed favor with her aunt.

On the day her father was assigned to a post outside the capital, she suddenly came to her senses. She not only tried to please her aunt, but also her aunt's favorite daughter. She and Shi Mingzhu became good sisters and best friends with whom she could talk about anything.
