Inside the Beifu Garden, flowers were blooming in profusion, and the British princess walked among them with a look of worry on her face, trying to persuade the Grand Lady: "Although it's a time for mourning, can we really follow all the rules? To be frank, when the Empress Dowager passed away a few years ago, the Emperor only decreed that there would be no weddings or celebrations within three months. But did anyone really listen? Didn't the Meng family in Shu still marry off their daughter during that time without any consequences? And what about our own young ladies in the capital? Did they really not go out for three years? Can't we adapt to the circumstances?"
The Princess of Zhen Nan was far behind, and if it were usual, these words would have been heard in her ears and laughed at. But now she was anxious to the point where she almost wanted to open her mouth and respond.
Fortunately, she finally remembered Ye Jingkuan's last words and slightly tilted her ear to listen to the lady's response.
Madam Wang had always been on good terms with the He family, and upon hearing this remark, she didn't think there was anything wrong. The British Gong Mansion and the Changning Bo Mansion had always been close families, and the women of the inner house often visited each other. In the past, Mrs. He had also had a lot of contact with Song Chuyi, so it was not unusual for her to ask Song Chuyi to bring over some young girls to press the bed when there was a daughter getting married in the mansion.
But she still shook her head, smiling and refusing: "I know this is your kindness. But those two children have just lost their mother, no matter what, it's not good to show up immediately. Moreover, it's such a big happy event, they went there may be conflicting"
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Apart from Old Lady Song, Song Chuyi was the only one who had contact with Chen Jinxin and must know something.
It's impossible for them to intervene in Old Lady Song's affairs, and it's probably not a good idea to disturb her either. So they can only start with Song Chuyi. But if Song Chuyi doesn't go out, how can they get any information from her?
"We didn't have that saying in our place, whether it's a collision or not." Mrs. Hei felt heavy-hearted and grabbed the doctor's wife's hand, letting out a deep sigh: "You know my family situation, although I appear to be a widow on the outside, but we sisters all know that you also know my circumstances. Although I have raised a son, he still has an older half-brother above him. Your daughters are all married and can't come back, so I was thinking that if one of the other girls could come, it would be a good thing to add some splendor."
The lady also sighed, she knew that He's family had been childless for many years, and reluctantly stopped taking medicine, and the eldest son was born, and then after more than seven years, the eldest daughter was born, and then one after another, the children were born.
This time He's daughter has settled her marriage, according to Kyoto customs, it is necessary to invite unmarried girls to gather together and add dowry.
It's not a big deal anyway, the madam paused for a while and then said: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and discuss it with my family's elderly lady again. If it can be done, I'll send you a message."
Since the madam has said so, He Shi also didn't want to continue asking for more and was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the madam and Old Lady Song, so she smiled and nodded: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will always remember your kindness. It's just that in the capital, there are really too few girls who match Mr.'s calculation as belonging to the tiger sign, otherwise I wouldn't have come to bother you."
Zi Duan brought tea to Song Chuyi, somewhat puzzled: "How is it that suddenly, the princess and the British public's son's wife invited you to something about adding dowry?"
Although most people in the Li family knew what kind of person Li was, outsiders didn't know. Song Chuyi still wore three years of mourning on her body, and how could she invite guests to come over now?
Since the Songtaoyuan incident, Song Chuyi has been much closer to Zi. Seeing her ask this now, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. The British Duke's son's wife can actually invite the Queen of Zhen'nan to come and mediate together, what a rare thing.
Why did she have to be the one to press the bed and carry the bucket, especially since she was still in her mourning period? Although it was said that Mr. had calculated everything, she just felt that something wasn't right.
He Shi's temper was clearer to herself than anyone else. If she hadn't been forced, she would never have made such a desperate move and would have just gone through the motions. So why did they insist on making her leave Bo Fu?
In other words, what is it about herself that makes her worthy of being coveted by both the Princess of Southern Kingdom and the British Duchess?
"Miss, could it be because of the Tongzhou matter?"
Although she had a big fight with the Li family as soon as she returned, she could still hear some news from Song Ju about the situation in the court. It is said that Xing Fu is now very worried, but he is still at ease.
But this doesn't make sense either
The Princess of Zhen Nan can still come to ask about Ye Jingchuan's affairs, but what does the British public son's wife want? Is their family also related to the Tongzhou case this time?
She was having a headache when she saw Hongyu enter with tears in her eyes, not saying a word, and then suddenly kneel down on the ground.
Hongyu had always been a calm and composed person, never losing her composure like this before. She knelt down, causing Qingtao and Zi to be shocked, both of them taking a step back in unison.
Song Chuyi had left her at Taoranju, watching Yu's mother. Seeing this scene, she was already drumming in her heart. If Red Jade hadn't done something wrong, she wouldn't be in this state. She signaled Qingtuo to help Red Jade up and asked in a low voice: "Is anything the matter?"
The girl's eyes were brimming with tears as she stared at her, wishing she could crawl into a hole: "Yu's mom...she...she killed herself."
Today, a little girl from the main house came over to deliver some clean clothes to my mother. My mother, being kind-hearted, took the clothes and brought them inside. Before long, however, my mother accidentally bumped into a pillar while everyone was dozing off.
Before, Song Chuyi had repeatedly instructed that nothing should happen to Yu's mother, but she actually messed things up. Hongyu hung her head and didn't dare cry out loud, scolding herself thousands of times in her heart. The young lady trusted her so much, but she happened to let the only person who could prove that the mastermind behind the scenes was Song Chuning, Yu's mother, see through the trick.
Qing Tao was somewhat anxious, looking at Song Chuyi and then at Hong Yu, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything serious. She couldn't compare with the green-clothed woman and Hong Yu who had been friends since childhood, and if she spoke up now, she feared it would be thought that she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
