It's not that no one asked about it, but the Duke Ding's Mansion and the Dali Temple's family seemed to have a unified voice, saying that the two children were a match made in heaven and their marriage was destined by heaven.
This made everyone feel itchy and they felt that there was something going on.
Look, the female members of the Duke of Qi’s family are all looking at the Third Young Master’s wife.
After all, the third young lady was born in the Ningping Marquis Mansion, and is closely related to the Dingguo Duke Mansion.
Although Duke Dingguo separated from the Ningping Marquisate a few years ago, they are still one family by blood.
I think I can also know some inside stories that outsiders don’t know.
The wife of the Prince of Qi and the wife of the second young master were more steady. Although they were also anxious to know the answer, they remained reserved and only looked at the wife of the third young master.
The fourth young master's wife is younger and not as cunning.
I couldn't help but say, "Third sister-in-law, you are the cousin of the Prince of Dingguo and the Marquis of Dingyuan. I think you know the reason behind these two marriages arranged by the Duke of Dingguo, right?"
Third Young Master's wife, Sister Yue, remained calm and said calmly, "Fourth Young Master's wife, you're overthinking it. I don't know."
The Fourth Young Master's wife didn't believe it and curled her lips: "Third sister-in-law, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion has kept this kind of news from you. It seems that in the eyes of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, you are no different from outsiders like us—"
"The fourth family's..." The wife of the Prince of Qi couldn't help but frown when she heard that something was wrong.
Third Young Master's wife, Sister Yue, raised her eyebrows and sneered, "What's going on between me and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is our private matter. What does it have to do with you, Fourth Brother's wife? Besides, do you think that if your cousin from your mother's side wants to get married, you have to report the whole story to a cousin who married out of town?"
"You——" The Fourth Young Master's wife blushed after being confronted by Sister Yue.
Unable to argue, she looked at the wife of the Duke of Qi who was sitting above her in a coquettish and naughty manner: "Mother, listen to what the third sister-in-law said."
The wife of the Duke of Qi gave the fourth young master's wife a cold look and said, "I think the third elder is right. It's my duty to tell you about other people's affairs, but it's my duty not to tell you. You don't do your work every day, but instead gossip about these things. I think you have nothing to do. Go back and copy the Heart Sutra fifty times to calm your mind."
The fourth young master's wife blushed and dared not say anything else, and responded reluctantly.
Although he was not convinced, he did not dare to blame the wife of the Duke of Qi, so he could only glare at Sister Yue fiercely.
The wife of the Duke of Qi felt a headache just watching this, so she waved her hand and signaled everyone to go back and not make trouble in front of her and upset her.
The Crown Prince's wife led her sisters-in-law to pay their respects to the wife of the Duke of Qi and take their leave.
Sister Yue hesitated for a moment, walked to the door, and then turned back.
The Crown Prince's wives glanced at each other.
The Fourth Young Master's wife couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder what Third Sister-in-law wants to say to Mother by staying here?"
The Crown Prince's wife and the Second Young Master's wife ignored the Fourth Young Master's wife and left.
The wife of Duke Qi saw Sister Yue coming back and her expression softened a bit. "Is there something wrong with the Third Master?"
Sister Yue smiled and said respectfully, "Mother, I want to go back to the Ningping Marquis' Mansion."
The wife of the Duke of Qi was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "It would be nice to go back and stay for a few days. Do you want to bring Yun Ge'er and his three siblings back with you?"
The smile on Yue Jie'er's face became more genuine: "Thank you, mother. I will take them back to stay for a few days so that they won't bother you if they stay in the mansion."
The Lady of the Duke of Qi motioned for Sister Yue to come forward and patted her hand. "You are a kind-hearted child. Don't take the nonsense the Fourth Old Lady said just now to heart. Go back to your parents' home and stay for a few days. Spend more time with your mother and comfort her."
Sister Yue's smile was tinged with bitterness and helplessness: "Mom knows this too. She's actually let it go a long time ago. It's my father and grandmother who can't let it go."
Sister Yue knew that she couldn't hide these bad things happening in the Ningping Marquis' Mansion.
The wife of the Duke of Qi also felt a toothache when she thought of her brother-in-law Fu Zhijian.
When he was young, with the old Marquis Ningping around, he could barely be considered a figure.
Although the old marquis is partial, he is partial to the eldest wife, and his own sister-in-law is the beneficiary, so the Duke of Qi's Mansion can't say anything.
After the old marquis passed away, Fu Zhijian, after being reprimanded by the late emperor, felt as if a bone was broken and he never recovered.
Instead of thinking about standing up on my own, I just think about relying on this and that.
He caused his cousin, Duke Dingguo, to break up with him, and he still doesn't repent.
I force Bo Ge'er to make progress at home every day.
What he meant was that the rise of Ningping Marquis' Mansion depends on Bo Ge'er.
Poor kid Bo, he was so scared that he couldn't relax for a moment.
Fu Zhijian, on the other hand, lived a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, slept with his concubines and maids, and had one illegitimate child after another.
This forced her sister-in-law to harden her heart and ask for a contraceptive medicine for Fu Zhijian to take secretly, thus eliminating the problem.
Over the years, Fu Zhijian has only done two things: sleeping with his concubines and maids and encouraging Bo Ge'er.
Because the root of his disease has been cut off, he hasn't achieved any results from sleeping with concubines and maids in the past few years.
Instead, he compared Duke Dingguo's two sons with Bo Ge'er every day. If he couldn't win, he would blame others, curse Bo Ge'er, and say that God was unfair.
Really, sometimes the wife of the Duke of Qi even thinks that it would be better for a father like Fu Zhijian to die early and have peace.
It seems that Duke Dingguo has arranged marriages for his two sons, and Fu Zhijian's brother-in-law is going to make trouble at home again.
Poor sister-in-law, niece and nephew.
Sighing, the Duke of Qi patted Sister Yue'er's hand soothingly, "Neither of the two marriages arranged by Duke Dingguo are to prominent families, which is a good thing. At least Brother Bo will feel less pressure."
According to Fu Zhijian's previous attitude of competing with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Bo Ge'er was originally older than the two sons of the Duke Dingguo. However, because Fu Zhijian was determined to compete with others, he gritted his teeth and did not arrange a marriage for Bo Ge'er until the marriages of the two sons of the Duke Dingguo were settled.
But he didn't think about it. Bo Ge'er was several years older than Duke Dingguo's son. In addition, the Ningping Marquis's Mansion had not been favored by the emperor in recent years, so it was difficult to find a marriage.
With this delay, there are fewer and fewer suitable girls.
Fortunately, the two marriages arranged by Duke Dingguo were for families of relatively low status, so Bo Ge'er and his sister-in-law could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Sister Yue was not comforted, but felt even more upset.
But it’s not easy to say these things to my mother-in-law and aunt.
He smiled and excused himself to go back to his yard to pack up his things.
The dowry maid saw that Yue Jie'er looked unhappy, and thought that the wife of the third young master was unhappy about what the wife of the fourth young master said.
I couldn't help but say, "The Fourth Young Master's wife is becoming more and more unreasonable. Ever since the news about the disadvantages of cousin marriage spread in the palace, the Fourth Young Master's wife has been using you insinuations and tricks. It's clear that everything that has been spread in the palace has been said, but the chances of it being bad are higher than for the average person, not that it will all be bad."
"Aren't our brother and sister good? No one in the mansion said anything, but the Fourth Young Master's wife is holding on to this and trying to suppress you! Isn't it just because they see that the Duke and the Duchess love you, and they are jealous——"
Speaking of this, Sister Yue became even more upset.
After this news came out in the palace, her marriage with her cousin Mr. Hu San, which was originally a good thing to strengthen the relationship between the two families, now turned into a bad thing.
Thanks to her good pregnancy, the two sons and one daughter she gave birth to are all smart, cute and in good health.
That's all right.
But even so, she and the Third Master had reached a tacit understanding not to have another child for fear of accidents.
Fortunately, even so, she has two sons and one daughter, her parents-in-law are her uncle and aunt, and she and the Third Master grew up together, so her position in the Duke of Qi's Mansion is still secure.
The fourth son's wife, although she was born out of wedlock, was the youngest son of Mr. Hu Si and was favored by her uncle. In addition, the fourth son's wife's family had risen in power in recent years. She used to be subservient in front of her sisters-in-law, but now they want to take advantage of her.
Although Sister Yue didn't take the fourth son's wife seriously, she felt uncomfortable every time she was provoked.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to find a way to suppress the fourth son's wife.
At the same time, she started to worry about her younger brother, Bo Ge'er.
He packed up his things absentmindedly, took his three children, and returned to the Ningping Marquis Mansion in a mighty procession.
As soon as I entered the Marquis' Mansion, I found that the atmosphere was not right.
