Chapter 314
Since returning from Yangling Marquis's Mansion, Xueliu has been staying indoors. She embroiders and basks in the sun in her own courtyard every day. Her life is quite comfortable.
However, Yangling Marquis's Mansion did not stay still for long.
The reason is that Lin Xuefu will soon be a 15-year-old. The third day of March is Lin Xuefu's fifteenth birthday.
On the last day of February, Lin Xuefu's face was flushed with temptation after lovemaking. She said to Mu Ziqian in a tender voice: "Cousin, Fu'er will be a 15-year-old in three days. When are you going to marry me?"
Looking at Lin Xuefu's eyes, which were warm and charming, Mu Ziqian couldn't help but peck her lips lightly, and a bright color flashed in his eyes, "The third day of March is the day you will be a 15-year-old."
Lin Xuefu was shocked, "Really?"
Mu Ziqian smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have already talked to my father and mother. They all agreed to welcome you home in a grand manner, kneel down and get married in the chapel, and the wedding dress is ready. , you can try it tomorrow.
I was going to tell you tomorrow morning, but you asked first. "
Lin Xuefu's eyes were even happier, and then she thought of something, and looked at Mu Ziqian's eyes with some worry, "Cousin... can you agree?"
Mu Ziqian gently held her hand, "Don't worry, my sister has my father and mother to worry about, not to mention that the news is still being kept secret. After our wedding ceremony is over, even if my sister knows, she can only bless us."
Although Mu Ziqian looked determined, Lin Xuefu was still a little worried. Without Xue Liu to interfere, what about Shen Qing?
Seeing Lin Xuefu worried again, Mu Ziqian thought she was worried about Shen Qing, so he gave her another reassurance, "I have good news for you, sister is pregnant. When sister successfully gives birth to the prince's eldest son, at that time, not to mention Shen Qing, even if Marquis Yining comes, they can only look at my face.
When the time comes, we will find a chance to get rid of Shen Qing, and then promote you to be my wife."
Although Xue Liu had told him to keep the news of her pregnancy a secret, Mu Ziqian felt that Lin Xuefu was not an outsider, so there was no need to hide it.
Hearing this, Lin Xuefu's face flashed with shock.
Xue Liu is pregnant? Doesn't that mean that her position in the Prince's Mansion is more stable?
Although she didn't want to see Xue Liu live a good life, Lin Xuefu knew that only when Xue Liu gained a firm foothold in the Prince's Mansion could the Yangling Marquis' Mansion continue to climb up, and then she could get everything she wanted.
Although Mu Ziqian's promise may not be counted, his feelings for her are real, so Lin Xuefu feels more and more hopeful about the future. She leans on Mu Ziqian's arms and says softly, "Then cousin, please keep your word."
Mu Ziqian chuckles, "Of course, Fu'er is my only woman, I will not let you down."
Lin Xuefu lowers her head shyly, but a cold color flashes across her eyes when she lowers her eyes. The only woman? Mu Ziqian probably thinks he has done it perfectly, but he doesn't know that Lin Xuefu knows everything Mu Ziqian has done over the years.
Let alone the only woman, let's just say that Mu Ziqian has touched dozens of women over the years, but he always shows a deep affection in front of Lin Xuefu, and I don't know if he is deceiving Lin Xuefu or himself.
But it doesn't matter. Mu Ziqian wants to act, and Lin Xuefu will act with him. After all, Mu Ziqian can bring her benefits, which is enough.
As Mu Ziqian said, the Yangling Marquisate's grand wedding with Lin Xuefu was indeed kept secret. When Xue Liu received the news and rushed over, Shen Yian had already arrived before her.
Fortunately, the matter had not yet been reported to the emperor.
Xue Liu first took all the blame for the Yangling Marquisate, and then severely humiliated Lin Xuefu. Finally, she made a lot of promises to Shen Yian and Shen Qing, and then reluctantly calmed the matter down.
Before seeing it with her own eyes, even though Xue Liu had long known that the Yangling Marquisate was not honest, she had never expected that they could make such a big mess.
Marrying a concubine with the ritual of a wife, is this because they are afraid that their current life will be too comfortable?
Xue Liu was already furious, but she could only try her best to endure it, not because of the so-called kinship, but because her body could not move now.
After explaining the seriousness of the matter clearly, Xue Liu took Bihen back to the mansion.
The Yangling Marquis's Mansion was full of turmoil, and Xue Liu was afraid that if she stayed there any longer, her children would be affected.
Xue Liu thought that after this time, the Yangling Marquis' Mansion would learn a lesson, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, the Yangling Marquis's wife almost caused trouble again.
At the Queen's flower-viewing banquet, Lin wanted to bring Lin Xuefu, a concubine who was not presentable, into the palace. Fortunately, Xue Liu stopped her in time, which saved a big trouble.
What's even more outrageous is that Mu Linyuan, a dignified marquis, actually made a ridiculous night in a brothel.
Xue Liu knew that they were all relying on her pregnancy to start not restraining themselves, but if this continued, I'm afraid that before the news of her pregnancy broke out, everyone in the Yangling Marquis' Mansion would be dead without a burial place.
So Xue Liu had to go to the Yangling Marquis' Mansion again to warn everyone. Although Mu Linyuan and Lin looked humble and corrected themselves, Xue Liu knew better than anyone that they couldn't change at all.
Before leaving Yangling Marquis Mansion, Xue Liu once again mentioned to Mu Ziqian the matter of consummating his marriage with Shen Qing, and at the same time tentatively asked if one day he could only choose between Lin Xuefu and the powerful Mu Ziqian, what would he choose?
The results showed that Mu Ziqian did not disappoint Xue Liu. Compared with power, Mu Ziqian obviously loved beauty more.
In this case, Xue Liu could only help him get rid of the stumbling block of beauty.
Xue Liu asked Bihen to tell the chess piece to secretly keep an eye on Lin Xuefu. If there was a chance, she would get rid of her as soon as possible.
After so many tossings again and again, Xue Liu's body had begun to be a little overwhelmed. There was no way, Xue Liu could only stay in the yard to rest. As for Yangling Marquis's Mansion, Bihen could only watch for a while.
As long as there was no big trouble, Xue Liu would turn a blind eye and let them go.
At the end of March, Xue Liu finally received good news.
Lin Xuefu, who had been wantonly showing off in Yangling Marquis's Mansion because of her pregnancy, slipped and had a miscarriage, and also injured her body. It would be difficult for her to conceive in the future.
However, before Xue Liu could feel at ease, Mu Linyuan's side had another mess.
After the last night in the brothel, the news of Mu Linyuan secretly keeping a mistress broke out again, and was welcomed into the Yangling Marquis Mansion by Shen Qing openly.
That momentum was very similar to when Lin Xuefu entered the palace.
Xue Liu knew that Shen Qing was taking revenge, so she could only endure it temporarily.
Moreover, it was indeed Mu Linyuan who was wrong first in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Mu Linyuan's mistresses were exposed one after another, and the second time was a double happiness. Even though Xue Liu was stable, she couldn't keep calm.
And on the night after the three concubines entered the palace, Chu Lingxiu came to her courtyard and mentioned the matter in a vague way.
Although Chu Lingxiu doted on Xue Liu, he was still the crown prince of the dynasty, and naturally he could not tolerate his people doing such embarrassing things again and again.
If he frequently interacted with such people, the emperor's opinion of him would definitely change.
Xue Liu promised Chu Lingxiu that she would handle the affairs of Yangling Marquis Mansion properly and would never embarrass Chu Lingxiu.
Although Chu Lingxiu agreed, his expression was still not good, and he left after sitting for a while.
Because of the affairs of Yangling Marquis Mansion, Chu Lingxiu had not stayed in her yard for more than half a month.
Court officials often said that the former court and the harem were closely related, and the harem of the prince's mansion was the same.
…
On April 20, the day of Jiang Li's coming of age, Chu Lingxiu rushed over to celebrate for her after the morning court.
Xue Liu sat on the swing built by Chu Lingxiu for her in the yard and was slightly absent-minded. In another month, Jiang Li would marry into the prince's mansion. At that time, if Yangling Marquis Mansion did not calm down, she would really have no time to care about him.
Thinking of this, Xue Liu closed her eyes with exhaustion.
Yangling Hou had told her that no one in the Mu family was smart. Xue Liu didn't care at that time. She thought that even if the Mu family was a little stupid, she would just guide them. Unexpectedly, the Mu family was not only stupid, but also short-sighted and reckless. It can be said that they were basically of no help except dragging her down... But such a group of people were her blood relatives.
Seeing that Xue Liu was in a bad mood, Bihen came forward to massage her temples to relieve her. "Master, don't worry too much. The Marquis has been in the court for seven years. Although he is frustrated now, everything will be fine after a few days."
There are so many affairs among the court officials. No one will keep staring at Mu Linyuan. It's just a matter of time.
Xue Liu shook her head, "I'm worried about more than that, because of the child in my belly, the people in Yangling Marquis' Mansion have completely forgotten their identities now."
Relying on her pregnancy, she began to act recklessly. Xue Liu didn't understand how shallow her vision was to do this?
Even if she was really pregnant with Chu Lingxiu's eldest son, she was just a concubine!
A concubine is a concubine.
As long as the Crown Princess is the main wife, it's not her turn to be arrogant. Is it difficult to understand such a simple truth?
What's more, Jiang Li has the Queen and the entire Jiang Guogong Mansion behind her, and Yangling Marquis' Mansion can be said to be unqualified to compare with these two forces!
Xue Liu didn't understand. Obviously, Yangling Marquis's mind was so meticulous and his actions were so thorough, why didn't Mu Linyuan inherit a little?
Although she had resentment in her heart, Xue Liu also knew that it was useless to complain more at this time, so she could only let Bihen keep an eye on Yangling Marquis' Mansion.
However, within a month, the Yangling Marquisate had another incident.
The Yangling Marquisate had united to poison Shen Qing, but the funny thing was that the poison attacked the person who poisoned her.
Seeing her parents acting more and more absurdly, Xue Liu felt sad. The Yangling Marquisate was determined to seek its own death, so how could she stop them?
Knowing that Lin would not budge, Xue Liu could only threaten.
She said clearly: "If the people of the Mu family continue to act on their own, she will no longer care about anything in the Mu family."
However, all her good intentions were met with a slap from Lin's anger.
A slap completely broke the already shallow mother-daughter relationship.
