Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

On the day the old lady entered the palace, Su Tong specifically asked the Empress for a favor and asked his eldest sister Yuanchun to send a collection of historical documents, but in fact he just wanted the old lady and others to meet Yuanchun.

On the day when the grandparents met, Su Tong waited for Mrs. Jia to pay her respects before asking her maid to help her up. She said in a pretentious manner, "We are all family, so there is no need to be polite, old lady."

Old Mrs. Jia said that she didn't dare, but there was a hint of indifference in her eyes. She knew that her granddaughter had grown strong. She had never invested in her granddaughter in the first place, and even gave her some casual gifts when she got married. But who would have thought that her granddaughter would soar to the sky.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Is everything going well at home?" Su Tong said softly, "Are your sisters at home doing well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine at home." Mrs. Wang replied impatiently and looked around.

Su Tong did not make things difficult for others over such a small matter. Instead, he sent away the senior palace maid beside him and asked someone to call Yuanchun over.

Then it was time for the mother and daughter to reunite. Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren crying together, Su Tong sat at the head of the group indifferently without saying a word. Only after they had all finished crying did Su Tong slowly speak.

"Grandmother, I have some respect with the Queen. Since my aunt is here today, let's talk about Sister Yuan Chunchun's matter.

The emperor has just ascended the throne and the treasury is not well-off, so he wants to let a group of clothing workers go. If Sister Yuanchun wants to go out and get married and have children, I can ask the queen for a favor..."

"How can that be possible?" Madam Wang held Yuanchun's hand tightly, her face tense, "Ying girl, you sisters are now working together, if you can support each other, it would naturally be a good thing."

"Aunt, Sister Yuanchun is not young anymore. The emperor will not abandon a young and tender girl and favor a woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight."

Old Madam Jia's face suddenly fell. Yuanchun was indeed not young anymore, and was brought up with the efforts of the entire family. But if she left the palace, how would she be able to find a suitable husband?

Even if she gets married, she can probably only be someone else's second wife. It is better for her to stay in the palace and fight for her life.

"Your Highness, we are all family members, connected by blood. I hope you can help me. You are young and don't understand many things in the palace. If you can have someone to give you advice, wouldn't it save you a lot of trouble?"

Su Tong laughed immediately, "Old lady, although I am young, I am not a girl who can fool around casually.

Sister Yuanchun is old, and keeping her around would only hold me back, not to mention that she and Imperial Concubine Jia have been having an affair for thousands of years. I dare not keep such a person around me.

But we are all family blood, we can make a deal..."

The old lady's expression immediately became solemn, and she lowered her voice, "Yingchun girl, you have to understand that if we prosper together, we all prosper, and if we suffer together, we all suffer!"

Su Tong was not someone who could be frightened easily, not to mention that she was now a concubine. Even if the Jia family was gone, she could still live the rest of her life peacefully in the harem.

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the concubines in the harem admire the emperor and want to order a beauty contest, but the emperor refused because the treasury is not rich enough. However, he did not completely reject it. He wants to hold a small selection in the palace and let the concubines nominate candidates."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang lit up, especially Yuanchun next to them, whose breathing began to become rapid.

Su Tong looked at them with a greedy look on his face, and the sneer on his face could hardly be concealed. "The ones nominated by others are all young and beautiful ladies from wealthy families, so which one of these qualities does Sister Yuanchun have?

In terms of family background, she is just the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official. Although she looks dignified, she is old and indeed not outstanding enough. "

Mrs. Jia suppressed her anger and said, "Forget it, Concubine Jia, what do you want?"

"Separate the family." Su Tong looked at their shocked expressions and continued, "Old lady, I know that the elders don't want to separate the family, but we can separate the family first. We can still live together, and when you are a hundred years old, the two families will separate on their own."

Old Mrs. Jia originally wanted to refuse, but was pulled by Mrs. Wang next to her sleeve. Especially Yuanchun next to her, with tears in her eyes, she looked very pitiful.

The old lady sighed heavily, "Forget it, I'll go back and discuss it with someone. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

Su Tong knew that the other party wanted to drag it out, but now it was no longer possible for them to drag it out.

"There is still half a month left. You can think about it carefully. In fact, besides Sister Yuanchun, there are many other sisters in the family who are also suitable. Tanchun and Xichun are of good status, of similar age, and are also very good-looking..."

Naturally, Mrs. Wang didn't want those little bitches to step on her daughters' heads, especially Tanchun, who was a bastard.

"Grandma, just agree to it. As long as you are here, this family will never break up." Mrs. Wang couldn't wait any longer, for she was afraid that Su Tong would change his mind and choose another woman.

Old Mrs. Jia thought that she was in good health and could live for at least another 20 years. These 20 years would be enough for her to plan more benefits for the second house.

"Forget it, I'll follow your wish. But even if our bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. After all, we are a family." Grandmother Jia agreed to the division of the family and asked Su Tong to quickly recommend Yuanchun to the position.

Su Tong also said that he would submit the memorial when the family split up. If he missed the time, Sister Yuanchun would have to be a female official for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to take it off. After all, one was in the palace and the other was outside the palace. Even if they said they had separated, Su Tong would not be able to detect anything.

But Su Tong had long been afraid that they would cheat, so he asked them to go to the Ministry of Rites to file a complaint so that the matter could be completely settled.

This was the first time that Old Lady Jia looked her granddaughter in the face, and she could only swallow her anger. For the sake of poor Yuanchun, she had to hold a family division ceremony first.

Although the eldest son got 70%, he only got some worthless things, so she gave most of the valuable farms and shops to the second son.

In her hands, Grandmother Jia still had her own dowry and the Duke's private property, and she planned to leave all these things to Baoyu.

Although they have separated now, the people from the two mansions still live together, which is no different from the separated families. But in fact, things have been different for a long time. Even Wang Xifeng has become more energetic.

Su Tong also reported Yuanchun's name as promised before. To outsiders, it seemed that he was supporting his sisters, but in fact Yuanchun was his own namesake.

The emperor intended to deal with the old nobles, but he couldn't find a way in. However, Yuanchun was different. She was born into a noble family, knew many secrets of the four major families, and was determined to serve the emperor.

After Su Tong returned to her palace, she rested and took care of her pregnancy. Yes, she was pregnant, and she had already reported it to the Queen Mother. She also stayed in her palace under the pretext of her pregnancy.
