Mrs. Cen only had two personal nannies left by her side, so the maid and mother-in-law who were around Mrs. Qu withdrew with a look, leaving only Mrs. Qu's wet nurse, Mama Liao, waiting at the side.

Ms. Qu struggled to get up and salute Mrs. Cen, but Mrs. Cen waved her hand and said, "You are still sick, so there is no need to salute you like this."

"Thank you, Granny." Mrs. Qu struggled twice, but still couldn't get up. With the help of Mama Liao, she lay on the bed with her back on the pillow, panting, "My daughter-in-law's body is not up to par. This great joy is

I couldn't help you during the day, but mother-in-law, you believe in my daughter-in-law, she really can't get up."

But Qu's gray face was not an act. She had never been good at pretending to be weak. She was really sick. She was half angry and half worried. She was angry that her second wife dared to steal the first wife's marriage, and she was worried about Rong.

What will happen to the child in the future?

Mrs. Cen also let out a long sigh. The matter of marriage exchange was proposed by Kangjun Prince's Palace. To be honest, she did not agree with it. If Juan'er was Rong'er's sibling sister, it would be okay, but these sisters who live next to each other, wouldn't they?

Let your two sons and two wives have a quarrel?

However, someone from the Prince's Palace said that Rong'er and Juan'er are sisters, and Yuanping's House is a well-known harmonious family in the capital. They are all married, and the sisters are all the same. Now that the guests have arrived, if it is not held

The wedding is really unreasonable.

The visitor also hinted that if a sudden illness postponed a happy event, everyone would still understand. But how could I tell my relatives and friends about my fall? A lady from a wealthy family, surrounded by maids and women, could fall even at home.

It is really difficult to tell others about a serious injury. Therefore, when calling others, don't say that the eldest lady was injured by a fall. It is better to say that she suffered a sudden illness.

She also argued with reason. After all, Rong'er was her most beloved granddaughter. She once tried to explore whether to use a concubine as a concubine to worship Rong'er first, so that there would be no delay for both parties, and her relatives and friends would understand.

The people from Kangjun Prince's Mansion flatly refused, saying that the rules of the Prince's Mansion were very different, and there were no distinctions between concubines and concubines. This was not allowed to be messed up. They used concubines as concubines. What if they got pregnant and gave birth to their eldest son? They were all ladies from the uncle's house.

Even if she's from a concubine, she's not like a concubine who drinks the soup, right?

After all, the people in Kangjun Prince's Palace insisted on either breaking off the engagement or replacing them with a second daughter who was similar to the eldest daughter. Speaking of which, Kangjun Palace still suffered a loss because the second daughter was more important than the eldest daughter.

There is still a bit of a gap in terms of status, but for the sake of harmony between the two families, the Prince of Kang County had no choice but to accept her, which was better than breaking off the engagement.

Mrs. Cen has nothing to say. Yes, the Prince of Kang County is willing to marry a girl with a lower status than you. The Yuanping County Mansion should snicker. If you keep hesitating, the marriage will be over.

It would be easy for the prince to find a better marriage than this one. As far as this matter is concerned, it was the fault of the Yuanping uncle's house for not taking good care of the girl who was about to get married.

As far as Su Yirong is concerned, how bad must the rules be for a lady from a wealthy family to fall to the point where she can't move? When this incident broke out, the Duke and Prince's Palace immediately canceled the engagement and no one said anything wrong about the Duke and Prince's Palace.

Mrs. Cen has been the matron of the uncle's house for many years. Not only are all her four sons successful, but at least the entire Yuanping House has been supported. Mrs. Cen has contributed a lot to this, so she still has the foresight to assess the situation.

After thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood that the county prince's palace did not want an unruly wife like Su Yirong. Who knew whether this injury would have any sequelae, but they did not want to enmity with Yuan Ping's family, so they settled on the second wife.

In terms of status, Su Yijuan may be a little behind Su Yirong, but in terms of benefits, Su Yijuan's biological father, Mr. Su Er, has been released from abroad and is about to be promoted step by step. After ten or twenty years, he may be able to join the ranks of first-class officials.

Having real power is much better than Uncle Su relying on his title for leisure.

If she disagrees now and the marriage turns into a feud, Prince Kang's Palace may not do anything overtly, but secretly it will definitely suppress Yuanping's Palace. After thinking about the serious relationship, Mrs. Cen immediately agreed to marry Su Yijuan on her behalf.

Although she knew that there would be conflicts between the eldest and the second wife in the future, she couldn't care so much at this time. She was already her age, and her son was already mature. At worst, she would separate and live in another family. It was more important to preserve this marriage and the reputation of the Su family first.

.

She thought so, but when she saw Mrs. Qu's half-dead state, Mrs. Cen could only sigh and advised: "I won't say more about putting the overall situation first. Do you know the rumors in the house these two days?

"

Mrs. Qu looked confused, thinking that those servants didn't dare to bother her with this matter, and she didn't know anything about it.

Mrs. Cen didn't know what to say, she just looked at Mrs. Liao's mother beside Qu and said lightly, "Tell the eldest lady the latest rumors in the house."

Mother Liao's scalp was numb. How could she say such a thing to the eldest lady? But now that the queen has called her name, the whole house is in an uproar. She, the most capable mother in charge of the eldest lady, has nothing to say.

You know, then she, the responsible mother, has done her job.

Faced with the majestic gaze of Mrs. Liao, Mama Liao could only grit her teeth and try to speak in a gentle tone.

Despite this, Mrs. Qu still turned pale and her chest heaved.

After Mrs. Cen waited for her to calm down a little, she slowly said: "The nonsense of a few little maids is nothing to worry about, but if no one suppresses this kind of rumor, it will get worse and worse. I believe that three people can become a tiger."

I won’t go into details anymore. At my age and half dead, I can’t come out to preside over the palace. If you don’t do anything right, I’ll give the corresponding cards and keys to your second sibling and let her take charge.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Qu gasped again.

After Mrs. Cen said what she needed to say, she didn't stay long and let her recover well.

As soon as Mrs. Tai left, Mother Liao looked at Mrs. Qu in a panic and said, "Madam, what should we do? If we let the second lady take charge of the house... it will be difficult in the future..."

Not only is it difficult to handle, it is easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away. After the eldest lady recovers from her illness, it will not be so easy to take back the power of housekeeping from the second lady.

But what Mrs. Cen said makes sense. In such a chaotic situation, if the second wife is not allowed to completely take charge of the house, rumors will fly everywhere, and the eldest family will be hurt.

It is her responsibility to let the second lady take charge of the house and stop the rumors. She cannot shirk it. If she does not do it well, she will be accused of condoning rumors and slandering the big house. However, considering the methods of Aunt Qin, it is not too difficult to help the second lady.

It is easy to judge the benefits and losses.

After struggling for a day, Mrs. Qu still struggled to get up the next day. She was suffering from a mental illness, but now she could barely get up in order to regain her breath and gain her fighting spirit.

The first thing we did when we got together was to use thunderous tactics to beat up a few maids and women who were gossiping and rushed to the village.
