My Stepmother is Soft and Charming
Chapter 63: Taking bribes
She picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, and then spoke slowly.
"Second sister-in-law, don't think that King Min won't love others as he is old. I have inquired carefully. Princess Min is old and has lost her beauty. She is no longer favored in the back house. But after so many years, she has the authority to control her. There are a lot of the same thing, and the news she released is that she is looking for a beautiful and well-behaved concubine for King Min."
"With her protection, what can the fourth sister suffer? All she needs to do is serve and win over King Min. As for the endless glory and wealth, it is said that if that girl really enters the palace of King Min, , the bride price can be as much as ten thousand taels."
Ten thousand taels of silver was like pie in the sky for such a poor Sanfang.
But this concubine is not very powerful in terms of status.
In the final analysis, you still have to rely on others.
Erlang's wife didn't know much about the affairs of Prince Min's Mansion.
But the conditions offered were indeed very generous, so she had no choice but to be moved.
Shang Liu Niang looked at her second sister-in-law's silence, but she was not anxious at all.
If you want the fish to take the bait, you have to give her some time.
When she bites the bait and refuses to let go, that's when she pulls back.
So now she has enough patience to wait.
Sure enough, as soon as her tea cup reached the bottom, the Erlang's wife spoke.
There was a desperate look in his eyes, and he asked quickly.
"Please allow me to inquire about this matter. If it is like what the sixth sister said, then it would be a good thing for the fourth sister to go."
"That's right, that's right. Even though she is just a concubine now, she is only one step away from becoming a side concubine or even the main concubine. If the method is smarter and the prince and princess are taken away, the huge power will fall on the fourth sister. Really? By then, wouldn’t it be possible to reach the sky in one step?”
When Shang Liu Niang said this, she was obviously trying to trick someone.
Even if the prince and princess are gone, the prince and princess are still in charge of this palace. Is it the turn of a noble concubine to take charge?
But Erlang's wife is now thinking about the bride price of 10,000 taels of silver, so she will notice this.
Smiling and nodding.
"Fourth sister is right."
"Now many people in Sui'an City know about this news, and there are quite a few who plan to send Huanghua's daughter there. If my husband's family had not had some contact with the prince's house, this matter might not be able to make me happy. Find out."
"So the second sister-in-law must hurry up. After all, opportunities wait for no one. If you miss this time, the fourth sister may not be able to marry into another family next time."
When he said this, there was some deliberate longing in his eyes.
Erlang's wife couldn't help but joked after hearing this.
"So good, why don't you just marry Li?"
"Sister-in-law is laughing at me again, isn't it? I want to get married, but I have another one in my belly. No matter how nice the people in the palace are, they won't accept her."
After saying that, his hand touched his still somewhat flat belly.
At this moment, he showed some sincere kindness.
Erlang's wife was a little surprised when she saw it, and then she started laughing.
"You are the luckiest among the three of us. You have a good life, a good temperament, and you marry into a good husband's family. You have a good belly. It's not enough to have two children. You are pregnant with another one. This time I want to give birth to a baby. Is it brother or sister?"
Shang Liu Niang smiled without feeling embarrassed, and then answered.
"I originally thought it would be safer to have another brother, but my husband said it would be good to have a girl. The girl and her mother are caring, and he also likes it."
Seeing her looking like she had a son and everything was ready, Erlang's wife felt a little jealous in her heart.
Otherwise, it would be infuriating to say that people are more powerful than others.
Others have good family backgrounds, good character, and are good to their wives and children.
She just married a "fool and idiot" who was not good enough and lived in a state of confusion all day long.
It's really useless.
After thinking about it, Shang Liu Niang was no longer as pleasing to the eye as before.
Shang Liu Niang is such a good person, she can naturally feel the subtle changes in the atmosphere.
Therefore, before Erlang's wife could chase away the guests, she opened her mouth and said.
"I've been out for a long time, so I'd better go back first, lest my parents-in-law find out and scold me for thinking about going back to my parents' house all day long. Second sister-in-law, please pay more attention to your own health. The bird's nest I brought this time is good. It's here, you try it first, if it works well, I'll send someone to deliver it next time."
"Sixth sister, why don't you worry about it? OK, then you should go back quickly. We are all daughter-in-laws. I understand, I understand."
The two exchanged a few polite words and then sent Shang Liu Niang away.
The sun outside was not that bright anymore, but Erlang's wife's mood did not calm down for a long time.
This news from Shang Liu Niang is like cooking oil in a hot pot.
But she also needs to think carefully, how can she make this matter final?
As for what she said to Shang Liu Niang, it was nothing more than prevarication.
How could she, a merchant woman from a small family, find out what was going on in Prince Min's Mansion?
Therefore, what she is more concerned about right now is how her fourth sister can break out of the siege and enter the palace to become a noble concubine?
It's good that she is good-looking, and her temper is well-behaved and easy to control.
But he just doesn't have any idea, so he looks very submissive.
Can such a person really catch the eye of the old prince, and can he really be sent to the palace?
She is very worried.
Even if she is sent in, can she really stand up and support her parents' family?
Not visible.
But she clearly understands that if such a good thing does not happen to the third family member, she will definitely not let the fifth family member know about it.
You know, there is still an unmarried Qi Niang in the fifth house.
Eighteen years can be said to be big or small.
If you really want to talk about it, her beauty, age, temperament and ability are all better than Si Niang's.
If only they knew there was such a shortcut.
I'm afraid those who want to beat gongs and drums will send people to the palace to occupy seats first.
Therefore, Erlang's wife was very defensive.
He ordered to Mother Qin who was waiting next to her.
"What Liu Niang came back to say today, don't let a word out, do you understand?"
"Second Young Madam, don't worry, I understand!"
In Baotaoyuan and Yingjuan Courtyard, each has his own evil intentions.
So these days have been peaceful and peaceful, and no big trouble has occurred.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, there is a rare sense of peace in the Duke's Mansion.
Soon the day came to twenty.
Today is a good day for Shang Ji and Du Jingyi to return to their parents' home, so Du Jingyi woke up early in the morning.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her husband Shang Ji sleeping next to her.
Thinking of him coming back very late last night, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Shang Ji was the one who woke up in the first place, so she opened her eyes and looked over as soon as she moved like this.
