Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

The Queen Mother felt that everything was under her control, and happily sent the rewards to the Marquis Jingcheng's Mansion and the Marquis Pingyang's Mansion.

The Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was unaware that the Jingcheng Marquis's Mansion intended to win over the Empress Dowager's favor with money and property. They only knew that their daughter was favored by the Empress Dowager, and even speculated that she might be chosen as the principal wife, while the Jingcheng Marquis's daughter might become a concubine.

As the wife of the prince of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, Shen Jiangzhi, the eldest legitimate sister of the Shen family, was overjoyed because she was expected to become the queen's sister-in-law in the future.

She returned to her parents' home with joy to report the good news.

In the Shen Mansion, family members gathered together to listen to Shen Jiangzhi's story about how her younger aunt won the favor of the Queen Mother and would soon receive the good news of an imperial decree to grant her marriage.

Shen Muxue, who was listening nearby, felt uneasy: Could it be that the situation in this life has changed?

Logically speaking, shouldn't Wei Lanqian marry Prince Yongning?

When did the daughter of Pingyang Marquis appear?

After Shen Jiangzhi left, as everyone was dispersing, the old lady held Madam Shen's hand and said, "Hurry up and send someone to invite your sister. Be sure to tell her the good news."

Thinking that her daughter would soon become a relative of the Queen, this was undoubtedly excellent news for Madam Shen. However, she still had concerns about whether to inform the Marquis of Jingcheng's residence. She said hesitantly, "Mother, the position of the principal consort depends on the Queen Mother's mood after all. What can we do?"

"Confused!"

The old lady was so angry that she knocked the ground with her cane. "If the Pingyang Marquis's family really has a candidate for the position of empress, who are you? Just a distant relative. But if the Jingcheng Marquis's family has a empress, it's different. You are the empress's aunt! Who is closer? Don't you understand this?"

After hearing this, Madam Shen changed her mind. Since her youngest daughter would be involved with the Marquis of Jingcheng's Mansion in the future anyway, it didn't make much difference to her which child became the queen's relative.

After forcing a smile at the old man, he arranged for someone to convey the message.

Just after noon, the wife of Marquis Jingcheng hurried over with Wei Lanqian.

No one knows what they talked about behind closed doors.

While strolling alone outside, Wei Lanqian was quite unhappy thinking about Shen Muxue's cold attitude recently, and planned to find her to "have a chat".

At this time, Shen Muxue was busy copying Buddhist scriptures for her mother.

After learning that Wei Lanqian came to visit, he did not stop what he was doing, nor did he look up to greet her. He said: "I'm sorry, cousin, I really can't spare the free time. How about letting Lingwei or Yunxiang play with you for a while?"

Although Shen Lingwei didn't say anything, her eyes were shining with anticipation, and she was obviously happy to see the good show that was about to take place.

As for Shen Yunxiang, she began to lean towards Shen Muxue after reaching a consensus with her on a certain secret.

So she walked forward gently and suggested gently, "Sister, why don't we go to the garden and play shuttlecock? We won't disturb my second sister from continuing to write."

"Kicking shuttlecock?"

Upon hearing this, a scornful smile immediately appeared on Wei Lanqian's face. "Do you think I would play such an indecent game like a wild child like you? You really are from the countryside!"

In an instant, Shen Yunxiang's face turned pale and her body began to tremble slightly.

After all, this was her own territory. Seeing this, Shen Muxue was unwilling to stand by and watch. She immediately spoke up to help: "My residence is too simple and shabby. It's not worthy of your noble footsteps to stay here. Please move somewhere else."

Wei Lanqian's face immediately turned pale at these words. She pointed at Shen Muxue in disbelief and asked, "What kind of attitude is this? Are you trying to kick me out? Don't you remember that you're about to marry my brother? How dare you offend me!"

Shen Muxue just smiled coldly in response: "Even if I really offended you, what can I do?"

"you!"

Wei Lanqian was speechless for a moment and her face turned red.

"You are unmotivated, have no reputation, and only have a name for show. How can you possibly be worthy of the status of our Marquis Jingcheng Mansion? If it weren't for your mother's early death, how would you have the opportunity to be engaged to my brother?"

While the quarrels and arguments were going on here, the mother and daughter in Nong Yu Hall were chatting and laughing, and they had already made some plans.

The wife of Marquis Jingcheng said, "We must marry Shen Muxue as soon as possible so that we can use her dowry. As long as we have money, we can convince the Queen Mother to change her mind. I will go and get close to her now and see if I can get more dowry when the Song family arrives."

The old lady nodded in agreement: "I wrote to the Song family a month ago, inviting them to the birthday banquet. They should be arriving soon, so this is a good opportunity to discuss the dowry."

After the discussion, the two of them went to Shen Muxue's residence together. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard a fierce quarrel inside.

Whenever Shen Muxue thought of her mother who had passed away many years ago, and the Shen family who resorted to such hypocritical means for the sake of the bride price, her heart was filled with coldness.

At this moment, Wei Lanqian's words just touched her sore spot.

She closed her eyes in agony. "If my mother knew I was marrying your brother, she would probably be so angry that she wouldn't be at peace even in her grave. Now I know that your family is also against it. So why don't you, my cousin, tell my uncle and aunt to cancel this engagement?"

"It's up to you, Shen Muxue. I just hope you don't come to us crying again."

At this moment, the courtyard gate was opened, and the old lady and the wife of Marquis Jingcheng were standing outside with stern expressions.

"Such a major matter concerning the marriage between two families is naturally decided by the elders. How can you young people make random remarks like that?"

The old lady scolded the two of them with a stern look on her face, trying to downplay the dispute as an unreasonable dispute between children.

Sneering in her heart, Shen Muxue thought, this was a tactic of using gentleness as a pretense but actually being tough, and he was actually treating her like a fool.

"My grandmother taught me that since my mother is no longer alive, my uncle will be here soon. I'll ask him to help cancel the engagement as my representative. Anyway, I don't have much interest in this marriage myself."

Except for the angry Wei Lanqian, everyone present had a changed expression. They were all looking forward to getting a piece of the pie when Shen Muxue entered the Lu family, but now it seems that this is not going to be easy.

The wife of Marquis Jingcheng was the first to break the silence, gently persuading: "Xue'er, you are older than Qian'er. There is no need to argue with a little girl. She is just ignorant. Don't take it too seriously."

Seeing that Wei Lanqian was about to retort, the Marquis's wife immediately glared back and stopped her.

Then, the old lady began to advise, "Lan Qian really needs some discipline. Even someone as gentle as Xue'er has been pushed to this point. If she dares to do this to you again, tell Grandmother."

It seems that he still hasn't given up!

Shen Muxue secretly laughed at these people and was about to fight back fiercely, but after glancing at the anxious Yunxiang, she immediately changed her mind.

Now is not the best time for a showdown.
