My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 87 Fake News

"It was said that she was the concubine of Prince Min's Palace. The mother-in-law didn't really understand what she heard. She didn't know exactly what she said. But after the Fifth Old Master and the others came out, they all smiled happily. This is not the case. Not long after Madam came back, the female family members of the fifth room rushed to Dongyuan."

Hearing this, Erlang's wife's face suddenly darkened.

When Du Jingyi let someone release the news, he deliberately made it 70% true and 30% false.

 It is easy for people to think too much if it is fictitious or real.

 Otherwise, if you are too sure, it will be like a mother-in-law visiting the scene in person, showing falsehood.

Wouldn’t it be easy to reveal the secret if you think about it for a little bit?

 So, this kind of uncertain tone is more exciting for Erlang’s wife.

 Mrs. Wei, her natal family is from the powerful Taiwei Mansion.

Even though she was just a concubine, she was just a **** in the overall plan when she was sent to the Duke's Mansion to be Shang Yukuan's concubine.

Who knew she would change her fate against the will of heaven.

First he won Shang Yukuan's heart, and then he stayed dormant in the back house for many years.

 When Shang Dalang and Mrs. Gu were gone, she showed up.

Now the daughter is Princess Fu, the younger son has a promising future, and the natal family has also climbed from ordinary officials to the rank of Taiwei.

　　It’s really decades in Hedong and decades in Hexi.

Later, in order to make her reputation better, she was promoted from a concubine and became a daughter in the name of her aunt.

 So, when it comes to the married girls in the Taiwei Mansion, she, the step-wife of the Duke's Mansion and the biological mother of Princess Fu, is quite famous.

 Therefore, Erlang's wife had no doubt that she could know the affairs of Prince Min's Mansion.

The more I think about it, the more troublesome it becomes. If Mrs. Wei and Dongyuan are partial to the seventh mother of the fifth house, wouldn’t the fourth mother have to fall into her hands?

Given her conditions and abilities, any further delay would be nothing more than rushing the matter with an older widower.

How could anyone be as helpful as the concubine in Prince Min’s Mansion who could help the family!

 Therefore, no matter whether she is willing or not, or whether she has the ability or not, even if she is sent to be an ordinary concubine, she will burn high incense.

Thinking of this, he said to Qin’s mother.

 “Go to Jia’s house quickly and ask Liu Niang to come back, saying that we have something important to discuss.”

"yes."

After Qin's mother left, Erlang's wife wanted to calm down, but she became more and more anxious, and finally got up and went to the room of the third old man and the third old lady.

 Compared with my own parents-in-law who don’t make any decisions, my grandparents are more reliable.

 When she came, the two of them had just finished lunch.

People may not be able to eat well as they get older, so they don’t have much food.

Seeing Erlang's wife, whom they usually relied on quite a lot, come in, the third old lady said with a smile.

"You didn't come a quarter of an hour earlier. You didn't come here until after the meal was finished. Do you want them to cook a few more dishes and deliver them?"

Erlang's wife didn't have time to eat at this time, so she said to the third old lady in a serious tone.

“Grandpa and grandma, the people in the fifth house also know the news.”

　　At first, the two of them were a little bit unresponsive. What kind of news was it? What if the fifth house knew about it?

 But he soon realized it, and saw that the third old lady was the first to have an attack.

 “Are you kidding me? Is it possible that Lao Wu and his family still want to climb high?”

 In her eyes, a three-bedroom apartment is much better than a five-bedroom apartment.

 Regardless of others, he already has several great-grandsons, but Wufang still lives on Shang Wulang's single seedling.

The third old master was not happy either, as if the position of concubine was within their reach. Now the fifth house is like a jackal coming to **** it away. He is very protective of his food, so he said angrily.

"Lao Wu has been a tyrant since he was a child. He doesn't care about his eldest brother. Now he wants to play tricks on me. Damn it. If you really give him three points of face, you think you are a powerful character. Wait until I go over and teach him a lesson. that is."

The third old man made a show of getting up, but was stopped by Erlang's wife.

"Grandpa, please don't go. If the quarrel breaks out, my fifth uncle is still not willing to let go. We want such a good thing and they naturally want it too. The most urgent task now is to think of a way. How could he be so unnoticed?" The right way is to send Siniang to Prince Min's Mansion first."

 She reminded them like this, and the two of them also reacted.

But there is not much difference between the third-bedroom and the fifth-bedroom. Even if there is a Sanlang who is more accomplished, he will not be able to reach the high branches of the Panmin Palace.

 So they were also in a state of darkness.

"Don't panic, I've sent someone to invite Sixth Sister back. Then we'll discuss with her to see if we can go through the Jia family's doors."

"Um."

 The waiting time was particularly long, and several people were looking forward to it.

On the other hand, Shang Liuniang, a member of the Jia family, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth after hearing the news.

  She knew that persecution was useless and she must learn to use ideas and wisdom.

 No, no matter whether Siniang wants it or not, the matter has been finalized.

Not only can she help her mother's family solve a problem, but she can also gain a reputation in front of her husband's family. It's really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

The more I think about it, the smarter I feel.

So he asked the maid Ruyan to take out three thousand taels of silver notes and put them on her body, and then gave instructions.

 “We will act later depending on the situation. If this matter can be settled, it will be of great benefit to you.”

 “Yes, I know this.”

This money was what her father-in-law, Mr. Jia, asked her to collect from the accounting office last time. It has never been used, and this is the time she has been waiting for.

It was obvious that three thousand taels could be done, and the remaining seven thousand taels would naturally go into her pocket.

 After all, running back and forth requires some effort, and Shang Qiniang calculated this better than anyone else.

　　Then he got on the carriage going back to his parents' house and swayed towards the Duke's Mansion.

When Shang Liu Niang arrived, the few people seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. They didn't care about the rules and regulations, so they stepped forward and pulled her in and started talking.

Shang Liu Niang pretended to be confused and asked a question specifically.

“Second sister-in-law, what’s wrong? You’re calling me back in such a hurry, but something happened at home?”

"The people in the fifth house also know the news about Prince Min's palace, what should they do? The fourth mother and the seventh mother are incomparable."

Erlang’s wife was anxious, and so were the third old man and his wife.

 But Shang Liuniang was not in a hurry. She was obviously the one who had been tricked, and she was the most innocent one at this moment.

 She spread her hands and said.

"There's nothing I can do about this matter. It was just a piece of news I heard casually. Now there must be a lot of people outside who know about it, and there are also many people who are rushing to get their daughter. Fourth sister... Or forget it, and I'll give it to you." How about she take a look at the others?"

 Her retreat made several people in the third room anxious.

 Especially the third old lady said as she patted her thigh.

"How can that be done? A duck that reaches its mouth can fly. Wouldn't it make the fifth house next to it laugh out loud?"

At this moment, Wufang actually didn't know that Sanfang had also made plans to exert force on this, but the people in Sanfang had already regarded Wufang as an imaginary enemy.
