Substitute Marriage

Chapter 19: There must be ulterior motives.

Chapter 19: There must be ulterior motives.

May 26, 2025

Sister Li look at this appearance, they do not speak is not possible, not to mention is not the niece, is the prime minister around the bedroom maid of the decency can not be sixty mouths in the face: “Mrs. so chastised the qin'er, the face of the prime minister how to go over. Don't you know that you have to look at the master's face when you hit the dog?” Kneeling beside the pipe Junyun or a look of unassuming look, as if the pipe Junyun deserved to be bumped off, and Qin'er is just a couple of words of truth, even if the courtesy is not good enough to be justified.
  Guan Junyun looked at Sister Li kneeling on the ground, pursed her lips and smiled: ''Sister is right, but if you don't look at the Prime Minister's face, I'm afraid that Qin'er won't have a life to live. Sister can go and inquire about what happens to slaves who aspire to be rude in front of me. Sixty mouths plus a month's worth of silver and rice is already too light.”
  “All dismissed.” Raising her eyes to scrutinize those standing in the flower hall, Guan Junyun waved her hand, “Each of you go about your own business, and come back to me quickly when something happens.”
  “Yes.” Are ready to see a good show of people to see such an ending, are a little disillusioned. However, each of them had their own worries. If Sister Li was sent down like this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so light if it fell on them.
  Sister Li remained on her knees, Guan Junyun straightened his shirt and got up, Qiqian picked up the pair of cards and keys on the case and followed. Guan Jungyun did not even look at Sister Li, and knelt for as long as she liked. On the way back to Ning, Guan Junyun talked to his second sister-in-law, and his eyes were a little red. After returning, Mrs. Wang's face was not good for several days, when only one person was present, Sister Li, if not back to learn the tongue, as to let themselves look at the face of the people? Think this matter God does not know?
  “Sister. The young lady has left.” The two servants who didn't want to cause trouble went forward to help up Sister Li, who hung her face, “I haven't seen such an unintelligent person, I'd like to see how much decency you have.”
  “Miss, that's how you should be.” Sister Lin watched after punishing Qin'er and came back to resume her order, “Or else you'll always be bullied by these people.”
  “I can only follow the rules if she is not, if she is not I don't need to grudge against these people.” Looking over the accounts sent by the bookkeeper, Zhuge Chen's salary plus the Emperor's favor to the old ministers, every month will give some extra rewards to the Xiangfu, plus the harvest of the manor and the land, this home is not so difficult to be.
  The only thing that is a bit insufficient is attached to the eunuch and Zhuge Chen's guests in the minority, daily in the front of the outer study behind Zhuge Chen, or is concerned about all the things in the dynasty, or accompanied by jokes. Meals and all kinds of expenses are not a few, especially following the small kitchen to let another one, although can not remove this drawback, but still have to think, how to make the expenditure can be reduced to a minimum.
  “Miss is silently accounting again.” Yi Yi smiled and brought over a cup of tea, “Ever since Miss became the head of the household, she has been dealing with the silver all day long. Nowadays, nothing is more important than this silver.”
  “You don't think silver is a good thing?” Guan Junyun picked up the tea and took a sip, then spat it out, “What flavor?”
  “This is what Miss usually drinks, it's the tea that the slave girl made with her own hands, she didn't ask anyone else to make it.” Qi Qian looked at her in amazement, “Why don't the slave girl go and make another tea?”
  “Just.” Guan Junyun waved her hand, Sister Lin looked at no other orders and already retreated, “I don't know what's wrong, these two days always have a bad appetite, nothing tastes good to eat.”
  “How often does a young lady have a taste for food, and then good things put in front of her are just a couple of bites.” Qi Qian sighed and looked up to see Madam Wang's eldest maid, Zhen Niang, outside: “Sister Zhen Niang, is there something wrong?”
  “Old madam asks madam to go to the upper room.” Zhenniang made a blessing, “Said she has something to discuss with madam.”
  “Well, just come.” What could it be, at most, it would be to knock people down a bit for what happened just now. There were even a lot of less-than-human words that one had to take back and listen to slowly on one's own. In the beginning, they would all be uncomfortable, but after hearing more, it would be nothing.
  Qi Qian probably also knew something: “Miss?” Knowing that this next time there will be no good, at least it must be a lot of aggravation.
  “There's Zhenniang following, don't go over there.” Guan Junyun didn't want more people to hear these words, Qi Qian would only be aggrieved if she followed, “Look and make me some congee, and make a dish of sour and cold small dishes.”
  “Yes.” Qi Qian agreed and followed behind to send it out.
  Jeongnyeo was always careful to follow Guan Junyun, and soon arrived at the upper room where Mrs. Wang lived. Sister Li stood beside her like a war general returning victorious from a battle, and just imagine what she would say in front of Madam Wang.
  “All hail mother.” When she knelt down and got up, she found that Sister Li and Zhen Niang were all not inside, whether to keep people from losing face in front of the subordinates or not wanting to call out that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not on speaking terms, so she only left two people inside.
  “No outsiders, sit and talk.” Mrs. Wang must have been a beauty when she was young, even at her age she still had her charm. Guan Junyun had seen the old prime minister a few times before, but she was still too young to understand things. Thinking about it now, it was already a very vague memory.
  “Yes.” Sitting down on the side, he didn't know what to say next.
  “Sister is getting older, it's not uncommon for her to speak out of turn sometimes. Anyone has to grow old one day, and pushing yourself shouldn't make her kneel in public for so long.” Mrs. Wang slowly sipped her tea, “I don't care about what happens between you young couples. It's just that Sister is in the end the person who has been serving me for many years, and you should know that if you don't look at the face of the monk, you should look at the face of the Buddha. Anymore, the family has taught such rules.”
  “Yes.” Sure enough, it was again tied to her family's teachings, as if there wasn't a single good one besides Guan Cuiyun.
  “After all, Qin'er is a servant girl by your side, and it's still the same with a lesser name. If you chastise her for something so trivial, where will you lose face as a young lady? The capital knows that you are a young lady of thousands of gold, and that after you leave the court, you are more and more aware of etiquette and rules, so you would never even have the capacity to tolerate others?” Mrs. Wang slightly raised her eyelids to look at her: “Family and everything is prospering, do you think it is not this reasoning?”
  “Yes. Originally, it was my daughter-in-law's poor consideration that made mother angry.” If Roy really sent Qin'er outside, I guess no one would dare to take this case, who would dare to cross the line with their own veil?
  If people knew that it was Sister Li in front of her mother-in-law who was the one who had put the cart before the horse, it wouldn't matter how old or young she was. I'm afraid it doesn't matter how old she is, she will always let her know that compared to the Princess that they all praise, she and she are really two different things.
  “Alright, there's nothing else, I'm just instructing you these two words. Go about your business.”
  “Yes, daughter-in-law excuses herself.” Backwardly coming out, Sister Li stood outside the door, “Slave servant respectfully sends off madam.”
  “No need, Sister Li should recuperate well, tomorrow morning, I still need Sister Li to help me deal with things.” Guan Junyun looked at Sister Li with a bland expression. It was as if nothing had happened, just a small matter as small as a mustard bean.
  Sister Li hated to watch Guan Junyun leave, has not received such a big aggression, always want to find an opportunity to properly clean up her. Want to play any new tricks in their hands, do not dream.
