Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 112: Marquis's Wife 7
Su Tong is not the traditional evil mother-in-law who will not cause trouble to her daughter-in-law. Life has not been easy for women since ancient times. As a woman herself, she naturally hopes that all women in the world can find a good home.
But unfortunately, she was just an ordinary ancient woman. The only thing she could do was to donate some money to the Jishan Hall, which would specifically adopt some abandoned orphans.
Su Tong not only did charity work alone, but also joined forces with other ladies from wealthy families to do charity work. After all, dozens of taels of silver were not as valuable as one of their handkerchiefs.
Those ladies would often do some good deeds, such as donating some incense and burning some fragrant oil in the temple. Now it is the first time that they are donating money to the Jishan Hall.
Su Tong also specially hired a reliable shopkeeper. Now that their mansion is on the decline, they don't ask for great wealth and fame, they just hope to leave a good reputation, at least do more good deeds, and have a way to survive in the future.
Su Tong's deeds soon spread throughout the social circles of the capital. Everyone was on the same level, and even in order to curry favor with the Marquisate, they would donate some money and items. Moreover, they found that the donated items were not embezzled by others, but were actually used for those orphans, and those ladies were completely relieved.
After An Changle knew about this, he even doubted whether the current lady of the Marquis's Mansion was his own mother. Although his mother was kind-hearted, she would never spend the slightest bit of her time and energy on the common people.
"Have you really changed? Instead of wasting money on irrelevant people, you might as well give it all to me." An Changle now truly realized the importance of money, especially after she became pregnant. If it weren't for the money from the brothel, she would have been unable to make ends meet long ago.
Su Tong has always done good deeds based on deeds rather than intentions. Although he did it for fame at first, as he watched more and more orphans being rescued, he felt that he had done something meaningful since coming to this world.
It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Su Tong improved the spinning wheel and taught the women spinning and weaving, as well as embroidery and cooking. This way, each of them could master a skill, so that they would have more confidence after marrying into their husband's family.
An Changle was the first to give birth. When he found out that he had given birth to a daughter, he felt like the sky was falling. He wanted a son, so what was the point of having a daughter? Although they say that flowers bloom before fruits, what he wanted now was a son.
Fortunately, the Tanhua Lang was not as patriarchal as imagined. He still liked the eldest daughter very much. Although there were two favored concubines in the Tanhua Lang's study, neither of them was allowed to get pregnant because the Tanhua Lang had many sons and the eldest son must come from the belly of his wife.
The third place winner originally wanted to marry his childhood sweetheart as his second wife, but after writing a letter back, he found out that his childhood sweetheart had already married someone else, and her fiancé was a Jinshi.
The third place winner could only put the matter aside for the time being. Although he was reluctant to part with his childhood sweetheart, the two of them missed each other after all. In addition, at that time An Changle said that she was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. In order not to offend the Marquis's Mansion, the third place winner missed his childhood sweetheart. By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
An Changle felt that her life was miserable. Even though she gave birth to a daughter, the third place winner did not say much. He even felt a little more pity for her because of her daughter. She planned to get pregnant again as soon as she recovered, and she had to give birth to a son no matter what.
Su Tong also had a lovely granddaughter and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. This was the first grandchild in their marquis's mansion and the legitimate eldest son.
"Girls in this life are all named Ru. In this case, let's name the child Ruzhu." Su Tong's eyebrows merged, and he felt his heart soften as he looked at the newly born child. "This child will be the treasure of our family from now on."
The daughter-in-law was originally worried that her mother-in-law favored boys over girls, but when she saw her mother-in-law looking so happy, she put her mind at ease.
"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law has been pregnant and has given birth to a child, and my husband has been left without anyone to take care of him. I am planning to promote a maidservant to be my aunt."
The daughter-in-law originally wanted to test her mother-in-law's attitude. Since she was not confident enough because she had given birth to a daughter, she naturally had to act virtuous and generous so that she could gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Tong waved his hand and said, "This is your business, don't tell me. If there is anything, you two can discuss it among yourselves. Do whatever you want. I don't care about my children and grandchildren. I am old and just want to enjoy my life. I don't want to get involved in your business."
The daughter-in-law didn't expect her mother-in-law to answer like this. Although she was surprised, she didn't say much about her relief. She was lucky to have met such a mother-in-law.
This generation in the family has been completely ruined. The son can only be a person who maintains the status quo at best. In order to revitalize the family, Su Tong can only focus all his energy on the next generation. Even if it is a girl, as long as she is properly trained, she can still bring glory to the family.
Su Tong gave the child the best treatment, even comparable to An Changle, but he was more strict than An Changle. There were more than a dozen servants around him. When the child grew up, there were various nannies to ensure that the child was trained to be a lady from a famous family who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed, and the youngest girl in the family had reached the age to get married. However, she was so lucky that she was favored by the royal family. She was directly brought into the palace as a concubine and was conferred the title of a fifth-rank talent.
The current emperor has a good temper and is a well-known benevolent monarch in history, but he has one shortcoming, which is that he has no son.
Su Tong was originally worried about how to revive the family. But now he no longer has that problem. When he sent his daughter to the palace, he not only gave her a plate full of banknotes, but also gave her several trusted aides.
"It's not easy to survive in the air. These banknotes will be your confidence in the future. Fortunately, the emperor and the queen mother are both good-tempered. As long as you don't cause trouble, there won't be any big problems.
I have prepared several maids for you, each with their own characteristics. One of them knows how to mix, another knows how to cook vegetables, and another knows how to cook spices...
My dear daughter, although you are not my biological child, since you cannot be born under my name, you are no different from my biological child. This is a family heirloom passed down to me by my mother's family, and it is specifically used for giving birth to children.
When you go to the palace to serve the emperor, take one of the pills, and it will ensure that you will give birth to a child."
The fourth sister did not expect that her mother would be so good to her. The elixir that could make one pregnant was extremely precious, not to mention that it was a treasure of her mother's entire family. She did not expect that her mother would give it to her so easily. Among them were some pills for maintaining the body, and tonic medicine specially prepared. The most precious of them was a ginseng that was more than a hundred years old.
"Mother, I will never forget your kindness." The fourth sister also understood the principle of sharing weal and woe, not to mention that she also understood the reasons why she was chosen. On the one hand, it was because of your mother's reputation, and on the other hand, it was because of her status as the legitimate daughter. Both of these are indispensable.
