The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Chapter 17 It doesn't matter if you don't recognize this relative

Yes, whether it is suitable for a wedding or not, regardless of anything else, as long as the prince wakes up, it can be considered a success.

When everyone was speechless, Nangong Jiao said:

"Tsk tsk, big brother, you are so happy, she has made you crippled."

Mrs. Hou's face changed.

Just as he was about to reply, Gu Ruoxi, who was quick-witted, replied directly:

"Isn't this just right? The second young master also fell and became lame yesterday. Both of your brothers are lame, so you are the lame man's sister."

Nangong Yu: ...You don’t have to say that to me.

Nangong is extremely spoiled.

Nangong Jiao cares most about her identity. When Gu Ruoxi says that she is the crippled sister, she yells:

"I'm not the crippled sister, and my second brother is not crippled. I just pretended to be crippled because I didn't want to marry you yesterday. Do you think you are Gu Ruolan? You are just a concubine's daughter, and you think you are something else!"

Everyone:…

After Nangong Jiao finished yelling, she saw everyone looking at her and suddenly felt bad. It seemed like she had said something she shouldn't have said.

Nangong Jiao glared at Gu Ruoxi fiercely again. It was all this woman's fault.

Madam Hou said calmly:

"So it's the Second Young Master who doesn't want to marry Yu'er. Why hurt yourself? Just say it directly. Fortunately, I have prepared a rooster as well."

The marquis sitting in the upper seat had an unhappy expression on his face.

He still remembered how the Marquis's wife yelled at him last night because of these things.

Later he wanted to ask, but it was too late, and he hasn't asked yet today.

He looked at the Marquis's wife and the Crown Prince, but to his surprise, the mother and son looked indifferent, as if this matter was not important.

Neither of them looked in his direction.

It seemed as if it wasn't the Marquis's wife who yelled at him last night.

The lady standing beside him glared at her daughter and turned to look at the Marquis. She had already prepared to show off her abilities and act like a spoiled child in front of the Marquis.

Then he said he didn't know why his son didn't come to the wedding ceremony. Anyway, he just said his son was ignorant.

However, the Marquis did not even look at her. Instead, he looked at the Marquis's wife, then at the Crown Prince, and then turned back to look at the Marquis's wife.

Madam Zhu twisted her handkerchief again and looked at Madam Hou sharply.

The elders in the clan turned around and looked at the Marquis. The Marquis felt a little embarrassed and awkward.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little weird.

The Marquis's wife didn't want to bring her son and daughter-in-law here to have an argument or to criticize them.

So he stepped forward and bowed to the elders of the tribe:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Yu'er just woken up and is still weak and has difficulty walking. So it took me a while to clean up before I came out this morning. Please forgive me."

Madam Hou bowed generously, then turned around and personally brought Gu Ruoxi over:

"Because Yu'er is not able to move around easily, I will introduce her to you. This is my daughter-in-law, Gu Ruoxi. She is a girl from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion."

As soon as Madam Hou said this, Nangong Jiao seemed to have found a way to vent her anger:

"Just say it straight, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter."

This time, Madam Hou glanced over coldly and said:

"Yes, she is just a concubine's daughter, but as long as the prince and I acknowledge her, she is my daughter-in-law, Xie Qingrou, the wife of Nangong Yu, and the wife of the prince of Changyong Marquis's mansion! And what about you, Miss Third? As long as I don't acknowledge her, Miss Third will always be just a concubine's daughter!"

Nangong Jiao and the ladies standing on the side changed their expressions! Nangong Jiao cried out.

She acted arrogantly in this marquis's mansion because her mother was in charge of the household expenses. As long as she didn't cause trouble in the East Courtyard, the marquis's wife would not care about her.

Therefore, she had long forgotten that she was just a concubine's daughter.

When she goes out to socialize, she always calls herself the eldest daughter of the Changyong Marquis's Mansion.

Now that she was exposed by the Marquis's wife, she felt as if she had been skinned alive!

It's like rubbing her face on the ground.

It hurts! Of course it hurts!

This is in front of so many elders in the family.

The concubines and the old marquis' wife had thought about registering the son and daughter born to the concubine as the legitimate children of the marquis's mansion.

But, as long as Xie Qingrou disagrees, they will always be illegitimate children.

Usually, the family calls Zhu Xinlan the side lady, which is what she calls herself. In fact, she is just a concubine!

The Marquis also mentioned it to Xie Qingrou, but the Marquis's wife only said:

"I have a legitimate son. If I don't have a legitimate son, the Marquis can let me leave the house and appoint another Marquis' wife. Then they will all be legitimate children."

The Marquis cannot afford to offend the Xie family behind the Marquis's wife.

Therefore, the matter was never mentioned again. No matter how the old marquis' wife and Zhu Xinlan praised Nangong Xuan and Nangong Jiao in front of others, in fact, they were just illegitimate sons and daughters.

Madam Zhu reached out and hugged Nangong Jiao, and she started crying, "My son, my treasure!"

"Jiao'er, don't blame me. I failed to give you the status of a legitimate daughter. It's all my fault!"

Being born out of wedlock is Nangong Jiao’s pain point.

"How dare you! Xie! You want to make trouble but you don't even know where to go. In front of these elders, do you act like a lady of a marquisate? You say these things to a child. Where is your upbringing?"

The old marquis' wife who was sitting in the upper seat was so angry that she picked up the tea beside her and threw it at the marquis' wife.

The Marquis's expression also changed again and again. He looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying with heartache, and remembered the roar of the Marquis's wife last night!

When the old marquis's wife threw the teacup, no one was burned, because they had been sitting here for a while, and the tea that was poured out was not hot anymore.

But when her teacup was thrown at her, Gu Ruoxi subconsciously took a step forward and immediately protected the Marquis's wife.

The protected Madam Hou felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but she was also worried and hurriedly pulled Gu Ruoxi over to check and said:

"Xi'er, did you get burned?"

"No. It's just wet."

When Gu Ruoxi turned around and looked at the old lady, her eyes looked a little unhappy.

This is a new dress! To her, all materials are very important.

Before coming, the Marquis's wife sorted out the relationships in the mansion for herself. She also understood that the old lady was Nangong Yu's grandmother, and the ladies from the side chambers were her nieces.

Combined with what I heard the Marquis’ wife yell at the Marquis last night.

It seems that they are a family in normal times, and it might not be good for Madam Hou and Nangong Yu.

Gu Ruoxi had a pretty good comprehension ability and quickly realized the twists and turns in the matter.

Seeing that she didn't lose the Marquis' wife, the old Marquis' wife yelled angrily:

"Divorce her. A woman like her cannot be a mistress. Su'er, divorce her!"

The Marquis's expression became even uglier.

There are also relatives from the clan here. It is not good for mother to speak like this.

Madam Hou glanced at them coldly, then blocked Gu Ruoxi and her son behind her and said:

"Really? It seems that we came at the wrong time. Why don't you Nangong family discuss how to divorce me first. Yu'er, Xi'er, this is not welcoming us. It doesn't matter if we don't recognize each other. Let's go."

Madam Hou brought Gu Ruoxi to pay her respects to the elders, and called for the guards to carry Nangong Yu away.

Nangong Yu had a gloomy face and just gave the Marquis a cold look.

He patted his mother with his hand, and then held Gu Ruoxi's hand. How did they come and how did they leave?
