Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 213 The Second Girl Li Yuyan

Xu Wanning returned to Bitangju, where Aunt Zhou and the second girl Li Yuyan were sitting in the outer room of the hall, waiting.

 Aunt Zhou and her daughter saw Xu Wanning and they got up quickly.

Aunt Zhou had a sad look on her face, forced a smile, and said in a slightly apologetic greeting: "Madam is busy, and we mother and daughter are here to bother you again."

Although Aunt Zhou is the concubine of Li Xian's father, she is from a decent family and not from a lowly family, so she is a noble concubine. She is honest, honest and transparent. Although the Guo family has been ostracizing her and not wanting to see her, Xu Wanning still respects Aunt Zhou as an elder.

Xu Wanning is an enthusiastic person. She knew that Aunt Zhou and her daughter must have come to ask her for help because of the Zhao family. Xu Wanning quickly replied: "We are all members of the same family. There is no need to bother us. My aunt said this out of context." .”

Xu Wanning glanced at the second girl and saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She went straight to the point and said, "Have anyone come to the Zhao family in the past few days? What should I say?"

When the second girl heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Yesterday, the Zhao family asked the original matchmaker to come over and said that our second girl cannot give birth to a boy for their family, and our uncle will not be happy. Hey! He means that he wants to make peace with us."

“Stop that old Zhao family!” When Xu Wanning heard this, she was so angry that she cursed.

 She placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table and said angrily: "The Zhao family is really bullying others. It's okay to make peace with them. Let them spit out all our original dowries."

The Zhao family is just a middle-class official family. They originally wanted to join the government of Zhenguo, so they tried their best to marry a generous concubine. The old lady knew that the Zhao family was not a safe family, and she was worried that her granddaughter would not have a good life after marrying her. The dowry was given in accordance with the rules for the legitimate daughter of the prince.

That's a huge amount of wealth.

The second girl has a weak temperament. After hearing this, she twitched and replied: "The dowry has been completely taken away by them. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to spit it out."

Xu Wanning took a deep look at this cowardly sister-in-law, feeling both distressed and helpless. She couldn't help but said: "I'm not talking about you, sister-in-law. You know that the virtue of the second son of the Zhao family cannot be relied on. Those dowries are yours." Why don't you protect your hope for life?"

To say that there must be something hateful about this poor person, this second girl is just a loser. She loses her mind as soon as she is coaxed with a few nice words. She cannot see people's hearts clearly and is always unsympathetic to ambitious people. Practical thoughts.

 Such a person, even if he gave her a mountain of gold and silver, would not be able to keep it.

When the second girl heard this, she cried even more anxiously, and said aggrievedly: "He always finds various excuses to ask me for help, saying that he needs to take more care in his career if he wants to be promoted."

My career has gone smoothly with your money. Now that you have no use value, you are not about to be kicked out.

Although Xu Wanning was angry at her sister-in-law's failure to live up to expectations, seeing her pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear to blame her any more. She just said, "Then what are your plans now? If you can't get along with him anymore, you and Li Hou will go back to your parents' home." , if you want to live well, you have to rely on those dowries, so the dowries must be returned. The Zhao family is not afraid of embarrassment, so we will accompany them to the end. At the worst, go to the Yamen to sue their family, and we will definitely help you get all the dowries back. Just come here and I will ensure that you can make a living in the future."

When the second girl heard this, she lowered her head deeply and sobbed quietly without making a sound.

Xu Wanning has a quick temper. Seeing her like this, she frowned and said anxiously: "I'm going to tell you what you think, but just talk." Seeing her daughter like this, Aunt Zhao was also anxious and angry. He helplessly replied: "Although Erlang of the Zhao family is not a husband, our girl already has two daughters with him. If we divorce, how can she be willing to give birth to a child?"

With these words, Xu Wanning's heart softened. When she and Li Xian were quarreling and wanted to reconcile, she couldn't let go of the child, so she gave up. Comparing her feelings with her own, she could also understand the second girl's mood.

After listening to her mother's words, the second girl raised her head and wiped her tears and said: "If I divorce, my two daughters will not have a good life. The Zhao family already despises them. They are so young and don't have a close family like me." Mother protects them, and no one else says it, but Aunt Wang is the first one who cannot tolerate them."

The Aunt Wang mentioned by the second girl is the newly promoted concubine of Erlang Zhao. Zhao Erlang wanted to reconcile with the second girl because he wanted to promote Aunt Wang.

Xu Wanning sighed and said: "Since you don't want to make peace, then stay in the house first, and when the Zhao family comes to ask for it, we can argue with his family."

When the second girl saw that her sister-in-law was willing to stand up for her, she held back her tears and said gratefully to Xu Wanning, "Sister-in-law, thank you very much."

Aunt Zhou asked tentatively: "How is the uncle recovering these days?"

 Xu Wanning alone cannot take the lead in such a matter. At present, the Guo family who should take the lead has been completely ignored. I am afraid that she is still wishing that this concubine would suffer. If Li Xian is willing to come forward to support his daughter, then the Zhao family will naturally not dare to be presumptuous.

Xu Wanning also understood Aunt Zhou's thoughts, but the Zhao family dared to be so presumptuous because of Li Xian's loss of power. How could a noble and noble person like Li Xian cope with this? Besides, Li Xian was so paralyzed that he couldn't even walk easily. , and even more unwilling to see anyone, especially the Zhao family who would add insult to injury when he saw him lose power.

Xu Wanning replied to Aunt Zhou: "Although the uncle is feeling better these days, the imperial doctor said that he still needs to rest. If he sees the Zhao family, he will definitely be excited."

Although Aunt Zhou is eager to protect her daughter, she also understands Li Xian's difficulties. She sighed and said, "I understand. The matter of the second girl is enough to embarrass you."

Aunt Zhou is a sensible person. She knows that Mrs. Guo wishes that their mother and daughter would end up in a miserable situation. If she learns that her daughter-in-law is helping them, she will definitely make trouble for Xu Wanning.

 Xu Wanning comforted Aunt Zhou and said, "I mentioned this matter to the Second Madam. Even if the uncle is not able to come forward, if the Zhao family really wants to abandon our girl, the Second Madam will not stand idly by."

 Aunt Zhou felt a lot brighter when she heard that her mistress could support them both.

They had a humble status. Although they were not separated, they were still one level behind the second room. She really didn't expect that Jingshu would be willing to help them.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou said excitedly: "They say this little mistress is the most kind, but I never thought she would be willing to stand up for us two."

Aunt Zhou was so excited that tears flashed in her eyes, and she said incoherently: "Since she married into the house, I have not had much contact with others in my status. How can I appreciate her kindness?"

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "Although my sister-in-law doesn't talk much on weekdays, she is most kind-hearted. I don't have to worry about my aunt."
