Mother Zhu also knew that the third wife didn't care at all that the child born from Aunt Ma would replace Chen Duanque, but her plan came to nothing and she was just angry.

He deliberately followed her words and said: "It's nothing. How can a good child be brought up by being a slave like my aunt? Besides, this child has eaten so many things before, so he must be very stupid. You can take care of it in your hands and raise it."

If you don't succeed in the future, I'm sure the master will still complain about you. As for Dingguo's palace, after all, there is an aunt and a concubine brother under your nose, and you are a serious aunt, so you are not afraid of going to hell."

After talking, the third wife finally felt better.

But the third wife remembered Chen Duan's almost threatening words again, "They all say that when you marry a wife, you forget about your mother. It's true. Duan Jian, this kid, just listens to his wife's words and comes to oppose me. Even the relationship between brother and sister

He ignored them all and forced me to give those good tonics to that bitch. If I followed my method, I could not only save a lot of money, but also get rid of that kid. After a few days of eating like this

, I don’t know if it is effective or not.”

As she spoke, the third wife's eyes turned red and she said: "I know he is complaining that I am partial to chastity, but he doesn't want to think about it. He is a man and will be the master of the third house in the future. No matter how much I favor chastity, I have not given everything to him."

The reason why the family property is given to Chunzhen is just for one or two Zhuangzi who make money. Chunzhen married into the Zhao family and suffered so much. She was soft-tempered and didn't know how to run a shop. Money can be used for less.

One, if I don’t think much about her, how will she live her life? They are biological brothers and sisters, why can’t they be more considerate and considerate of me as a mother.”

Mother Zhu felt that it was hard to persuade her.

Originally, even Mrs. Zhu’s plans seemed unreliable.

It's right to think about your daughter, but you still have to discuss some things with your son, and you can't be arbitrary.

Although sons are expected to be filial, when it comes to family property matters, once there is no man in the family to make the decision, there is no reason to invite the elders of the clan instead of letting a woman make the decision.

It doesn't matter how senior you are.

Only the future master of the Chen family has the right to decide on the Chen family's property.

My wife just can't figure it out. Her son is older and his heart is bigger. He can't just hold it in the palm of his hand.

In the past, my wife seemed to be fine, and she could keep her composure in everything.

Ever since Grandma Thirteenth Aunt married into the Duke's Mansion, compromised twice, and lost face to her eldest husband, the wife has become more and more proud day by day, always thinking of having everything in the palm of her hand like the eldest lady in the past.

inside.

Thinking of the eldest wife's current fate, Mother Zhu felt that this was not a good sign.

However, after glancing at the third wife who was still resentful, Mother Zhu still held back her words and made up her mind to have a good talk with Chen Duanque sometime.

The third wife was completely unaware of Mother Zhu's plan, and kept chattering to herself. One moment she said that Chen Duanque was unfilial, and the next moment she scolded Grandma Wu that she dared not come to pay her respects even though she was still old. She was really unfilial.

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, he took Zhu's mother's hand and said, "How about the person I want you to pick for me?"

Mother Zhu didn't expect to come over for a while.

The third wife's face darkened, "You don't take what I told you to heart, do you?"

"Madam, I've been busy serving you these days. I'm really worried and don't pay much attention to other things. Please give me a break."

Hearing what Zhu's mother said, the third wife softened her expression and said, "Forget it, just remember it. Find the person quickly and show him to me so that I can give him to Duanji early."

Only then did Mother Zhu remember that the third wife had said earlier that she would choose one of the maids to come over to do the marriage arrangement for Chen Duanque.

Mother Zhu also knows that Chen Duanque has a temper and is devoted to his career. He does not have the same passionate temperament as the third master. Although they are father and son, they are not the same in this regard.

It's not like I haven't given it away to anyone before, and even the maid herself sent it to the door, but they were all thrown out.

Mother Zhu thought that this matter would offend both Chen Duanwei and Grandma Wu Fourth, so she advised: "Madam, we are on the boat this time. Should we wait until we get to the capital and ask the Fourth Young Master what he wants before we make any plans.

"

The third wife said coldly: "Ask him what he is doing. How can a woman still live with a man when she is pregnant? I have endured it for so many days because I want to see if Duan Jian's wife understands the rules, and I don't want to embarrass her.

"She, let her choose a maid she can trust, but she didn't make any move at all. Since she doesn't know the plan for Duan Jian, I, the mother, have to reach out." He said in a difficult tone of having to do something.

Listening to this, Mother Zhu cursed repeatedly, "Madam, last time the fourth grandma was pregnant, the fourth young master refused to let anyone take care of her, and you didn't give up on her either."

"At that time, I was worried that Duan Yai and his father and aunt would indulge in concubines and destroy their wives. I was also worried that he would give birth to a concubine before his legitimate son, which would disgrace the Chen family. Since we all have legitimate sons, there won't be so many.

I don’t care. Besides, I’ve been pretty good at Duanjian in the past few years, and I won’t be dazzled by beauty. I have nothing to worry about. In a family like ours, we don’t even have a common room, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it. "

After talking to this point, Zhu's mother also knew that it would be useless to persuade her any more and would only anger the third wife in vain, so she could only sigh secretly.

The third wife made a fuss, talked some more, and fell asleep.

Mother Zhu covered her with quilt, quietly left the house and closed the door.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Chen Duanwei standing at the door with a stern expression.

Mother Zhu didn't know when Chen Duanwei came. She just watched his words and guessed that Chen Duanwei had probably listened to what the third wife had just said.

After weighing it in my mind, I felt that these words might not necessarily mean anything, so I greeted Chen Duanque cautiously.

Chen Duanwei looked at the closed door with cold eyes and asked, "Is your wife asleep?" There was a deep coolness in his deliberately lowered voice.

It wasn't anything special, but Mother Zhu felt a chill seeping through her bones, and she trembled and said: "My wife got dizzy when riding on the boat, and fell asleep after drinking tea."

Chen Duanwei said nothing.

It was dusk, and even though it was early summer, the wind was blowing water vapor up from the river, and Mother Zhu was still very cold.

Chen Duange remained motionless, just looking at the door quietly.

Waiting until Mother Zhu could hardly stand up, Chen Duanwei suddenly turned around and left.

Mother Zhu's legs went weak and she fell on the board with cold sweat on her face.

Two little maids brought the food up from below. Seeing Zhu's mother, they rushed up to help her up.

Mother Zhu finally staggered to her feet, and when she saw the two little maids hesitating to speak, she straightened her face and said, "You didn't see anything just now, do you know that?"

Before the two of them could understand, Zhu's mother gave another instruction from behind, "Don't talk too much even in front of my wife!"

It's just that Zhu's mother fell down, what big thing could happen.

The two little maids didn't think so, thinking that Mother Zhu didn't want to lose face in front of the wife, so they agreed respectfully not to offend the people in front of the third wife.

Mother Zhu glanced at the two little maids who had just been chosen by the third wife to serve closely at her side with a complicated expression.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, one looks extremely delicate, while the other looks somewhat coquettish.

It seems that my wife doesn’t need to help choose the person herself.

It's a pity that the way the fourth young master looked just now, my wife's plan may not come true.

Mother Zhu glanced at the ignorant two people in front of her with pity, then slowly walked around to the back to rest.
