Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 21 Discourteous

They were only separated by two streets, but had no contact with each other for so many years. Lin Zisu was already curious about the relationship between Sun Duzhong and her family. When her father said this, she felt that there was something hidden in it.

However, her parents were very frightened because of the possession incident, and Lin Zisu felt a little guilty.

Since Lin Yuanzhi said this, she did not want to contradict her father's wishes in person, so she immediately said: "My daughter remembers it."

March 22nd was the day that Liang Wanyi had made an appointment. Bi was afraid that her girl would lose face in front of outsiders, so she found a few pieces of jewelry from her dowry and sent them to Lin Zisu's boudoir in advance.

.

It took Lin Zisu a lot of time to dress up. Lin Zisu didn't have time to have breakfast, so she got on the carriage and rushed towards the Duke of Chang's Mansion.

Changguogong's Mansion is the queen's natal home, just one street away from the palace, while Kangningbo's Mansion is located in Dongcheng, next to Chongren Gate.

Vendors outside the city all come in and out through Chongren Gate, and the east city is dotted with various shops, so Lin Zisu left the house early, and it was still past midnight when she arrived at Changguo Mansion.

A nun was guarding the gate of Changguo Mansion when she saw a black-topped carriage parked outside the house, bringing a maid with it. It looked like a guest invited by the eldest daughter of the family. But looking at the style of the carriage and the maid's dress, it seemed that

It doesn't look like he came from a noble family.

The nanny hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, bowed slightly, and asked, "Is this the ride of the eldest lady of the Kangning family?"

Amber responded: "That's right. My girl was invited by the eldest daughter of your mansion to have a chat with you. I wonder what I would call you, mama?"

Lin Zisu saluted Mrs. Liang, who was sitting at the top, and then looked at the two ladies sitting in the first and second seats.

Lin Zisu was familiar with medical books and naturally knew about these two medicines. She frowned and felt that the Duke of Changguo had a petty attitude and did not behave like a matron. The son Liang Mingtai she taught was also incompetent, and she felt more and more dissatisfied with Changguo.

The princess became contemptuous.

Mrs. Liang had just heard some secrets, involving the flesh and blood of the Liang parents and grandchildren. She didn't care about the Liang family's face, so she asked with a cold face: "Is this true? That girl said she is pregnant with the eldest son's child."

Bones and blood, what’s going on?”

A maid in the front quickly walked into the flower hall to announce, and from behind, Aunt Jiang led Lin Zisu into the door.

Lin Zisu didn't want to argue with the servants, so she smiled lightly and said, "Please ask Aunt Jiang to lead the way."

Although Mrs. Liang didn't do anything on weekdays, her identity was there. When she yelled, Mrs. Chang Guogong and Liang Mingtai both stopped making noise.

Mrs. Chang Guogong's expression changed drastically. She ignored Lin Zisu's presence and screamed: "Drag her down! Drag this bitch down!"

Liang Mingtai didn't look at who was in the flower hall, strode up to Mrs. Chang Guogong, and without saluting, asked: "Mother, what mistake did Hongxiu make that you actually wanted to put her to death?"

Liang Wanyi secretly glanced at Lin Zisu's expression, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished she could crawl into it.

Mrs. Liang knew what kind of virtue her daughter-in-law and grandson were, and she was afraid that words would come out of their mouths that would not make sense on the table. She immediately slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table, pointed at the red sleeves and said: "Say!

what is going on!"

Firstly, it was to let Lin Zisu see the prosperity of Changguo Duke's Mansion, and she became yearning for it; secondly, it was to show off her vision in front of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and consolidate her position in the mansion.

Mrs. Liang, who was in the main seat, was about fifty years old. She was wearing a rust-colored crane-patterned jacket and was staring at him with a serious face.

With these prerequisites, it is not a big problem that Lin Zisu is not from a high family background. It doesn't matter if she marries a wife with a low profile. It doesn't matter if she has a lower family background, but it will be easier for her to manipulate her when she gets married. If she marries a princess in the palace, she will also worship her.

Sorry.

Only then did Liang Mingtai see Lin Zisu. He was stunned and stood there blankly saying: "Lin...Miss Lin?"

When several ladies from the Duke of Chang's Palace came over early in the morning, they saw that there were more seats in the flower hall. They were still secretly surprised, thinking that something big was going to happen in the palace, and they were all uneasy. At this moment, they finally understood that Chang Guo

The father-in-law and his wife exchanged glances.

Mrs. Chang Guogong was furious for a moment, pointed at Liang Mingtai and said: "You traitor! For the sake of this cheap maid, you dare to disobey me, right? Mother, this is all for your own good!"

Lingxiao Decoction and Nux Vomica Decoction are both abortion medicines. Lingxiao Decoction has the effect of activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, and is often used by wealthy families for abortion. While Nux Vomica Decoction can unblock meridians and dissipate knots, although it can achieve the effect of abortion, it has

It is cold and poisonous in nature. If a weak person takes it, he will die if he is not careful.

Mrs. Chang Guogong said: "That is what this humble servant said in order to avoid punishment. Mother does not need to take it seriously."

After saying that, she was about to follow the maid out of the flower hall, but unexpectedly Mrs. Chang Guogong stopped her and said: "Miss Lin, don't be anxious. I heard from Sister Yi that you took great care of the eldest princess in her village a few days ago.

I haven’t thanked you in person yet.”

After a while, the crying in the courtyard suddenly stopped. Looking at the gloomy faces of the ladies in the hall, Lin Zisu felt a little regretful that she had walked too slowly just now. She could not leave now, nor could she stay.

Neng and Liang Wanyi sat back quietly.

After thinking about it for a few days, she felt more and more that this marriage was reliable.

In the flower hall, the wives, aunts and girls of the Liang family were all still there. When they saw Aunt Jiang bringing an unfamiliar girl over, they all stared at Lin Zisu, and all of them had doubts in their hearts.

After Liang Mingtai tried hard to propose to marry Lin Zisu, Mrs. Chang Guogong asked someone to inquire about it. She felt that the Lin family only occupied the title of Kang Ningbo and was always a small family in the countryside and could not get on the stage. She had no intention of letting go.

Sitting next to her was Mrs. Chang Guogong, who looked to be in her forties. She had a golden robe on her head and a string of white round pearls hanging from her neck. Her jewelery made her face even longer and slimmer.

Hongxiu kowtowed to Mrs. Liang three more times and sobbed: "This slave is pregnant with the eldest son's flesh and blood. The eldest lady said it was against the rules and asked the slave to get rid of the child. I have been drinking Ling for three days as ordered by the eldest lady.

Xiaoxiao soup is gone. Today, the eldest lady asked the kitchen to deliver nux vomica soup to the servant. If you drink it like this, how can the slave still be alive?"

Then a male voice came over: "Bullshit guest! It doesn't matter who has red sleeves!"

Although Mrs. Chang Guogong had a smile on her lips, her expression was still a bit mean. The ladies below her did not dare to say anything, but only responded with a few perfunctory expressions.

When Lin Zisu approached the flower hall, she heard that it was like a beehive, with a constant "buzzing" sound, indicating that things were being discussed.

There was already a sedan waiting inside the Yimen, carrying Lin Zisu to the backyard. After about a stick of incense, the sedan stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of crying outside the flower hall, and then a shrill female voice came into everyone's ears: "Spare my life! Please spare my life, Madam and Madam!"

There was silence in the flower hall for a moment. Mrs. Liang coughed lightly and asked, "Boss, wife, what on earth is going on?"

Lin Zisu got off the sedan and thought she was in Liang Wanyi's yard. She raised her eyes and looked around. She saw that the layout and decorations in the garden were magnificent, and it didn't look like a place where the girl lived. She felt strange and asked: "Mr. Jiang

Mom, sister Yi lives in this courtyard?"

Seeing that the Queen did not respond for a long time and Liang Mingtai made a big fuss again, Mrs. Chang Guogong had no choice but to hear that her daughter Liang Wanyi and Lin Zisu had a good relationship, so she encouraged her daughter to invite Lin Zisu to her house.

In front of her grandmother and Lin Zisu, Liang Wanyi couldn't blame her mother. Taking advantage of her mother's pause, Liang Wanyi said to Lin Zisu: "Sister Zisu, please come and sit in my small courtyard for a while, and I will come over later.

"

Mrs. Chang Guogong disagreed and sat back in her chair angrily, saying: "It's not a big deal. It's just that a girl from Brother Tai's side is arrogant. My daughter-in-law taught me a few words. She couldn't bear the injustice, so she came to see you."

Come to complain."

However, the queen was not very favored. The emperor used the excuse of establishing a prince to beat the queen. How could the queen dare to say more in front of the emperor?

Because the eldest lady of the Changguo Duke's Mansion had given an explanation, when the nanny heard that she was the eldest lady of the Kang Ningbo Mansion, she quickly put on a smile and said, "My surname is Jiang, and I have been ordered to welcome the girl into the mansion."

Seeing that the lady was anxious and angry, two more women moved out of the flower hall.

Both Lin Zisu and Liang Wanyi recognized Liang Mingtai's voice, and saw Liang Mingtai dragging a woman's wrist into the flower hall. The woman staggered a few steps, then fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowing and begging.

: "I realize my mistake! Please spare my life, Mrs. Tai and Madam!"

Mrs. Chang Guogong exchanged a few words with Lin Zisu and couldn't wait to introduce Lin Zisu to Mrs. Liang. Then she urged Lin Zisu and the ladies sitting below to meet her.

Aunt Jiang's words were vague, and neither Lin Zisu nor Hu Hu paid any attention to them, and allowed her to lead the carriage to the Yimen of Changguo Mansion.

Who is this girl? Why does she appear in the dowager's yard at this time?

I heard the woman crying and saying: "It is not a pity for me to die, but what I am carrying is the blood of the eldest son. I beg you, madam, for the sake of the eldest son, please spare my life!"

Liang Wanyi stood behind her mother, feeling annoyed in her heart. Aunt Jiang was close to her mother. At this time, she led her guest to her grandmother's room without any explanation. She must have received her mother's instructions.

Lin Zisu glanced at Liang Wanyi with some embarrassment and was about to sit down. Liang Wanyi stood up and held her shoulders, saying to Mrs. Chang Guogong: "Grandma, mother, sister Zisu is a guest from afar. I will accompany her back to the courtyard first."

.”

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Chang Guogong shamelessly went to ask the queen again, hoping to ask the emperor to issue a decree granting marriage. Since her family had gained fame, she could not tolerate the Lin family's refusal.

Lin Zisu saw that this woman had a beautiful face. Although she was dressed as a maid, she had a few more eye-catching jewelry than ordinary maids. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful. She must have been the one crying in the courtyard just now.

woman.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "This is my wife's yard. My wife likes to chat. This is the first time this girl came to the house, so she happened to have a chat with my wife."

Then she realized that she still needed to rely on her daughter for what she wanted in her heart. She finally suppressed her anger and said with an unhappy look: "I understand, since you have guests, just go back."

This voice startled everyone, and they all raised their necks and looked out the door, trying to figure out what was going on.

She gave the order, and a woman walked out quickly, followed by slaps and curses mixed with the woman's cries, which spread into the flower hall.

"Junior Lin Zisu, I have met the Madam and all the ladies."

She concentrated her mind for a moment, stood up and said: "Grandma, mother, you can handle the affairs of the house. I have guests, so I won't stay here with you." After saying this, she pulled Lin Zisu and walked out of the flower hall without bowing.

Lin Zisu came to visit as a guest, and it was normal for her to visit the elders of the Liang family. However, as the host, she took the guests directly to the elders' courtyard without informing them in advance, which was obviously a bit rude.

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, another burst of noise came over. A woman shouted in a broken gong voice: "My lord! The eldest lady and the eldest lady are entertaining guests. You can't go in."

Lin Zisu looked like a great lord, and smiled and saluted Mrs. Liang: "I have come here rashly today and disturbed the affairs of your house. Please forgive me for being disrespectful, Mrs. Liang and all the ladies."

Liang Mingtai now deliberately wanted to stir up trouble. Before entering the yard, he deliberately drank a few sips of wine and became more courageous. He shouted: "I won't listen anymore. What can you do to me! If there is no red sleeves,

I will never get married again!"

As she spoke, Liang Wanyi called to a maid behind her and ordered her to lead the way for Lin Zisu.

Seeing that her daughter was so disrespectful to her, Mrs. Chang Guogong wanted to reprimand her angrily.

After Mrs. Chang Guogong finished speaking, she pointed to the empty seat next to Liang Wanyi and asked Lin Zisu to take a seat.

After Lin Zisu saluted, before Mrs. Liang could speak, Mrs. Chang Guogong smiled and said, "Oh! It's rare for Miss Lin to come to our house, so there is no need to be polite."

Lin Zisu was stunned for a moment, wondering what the Liang family's intention was in inviting an outsider like herself here. She thought for a moment and left the amber at the door of the flower hall.

Mrs. Chang Guogong jumped up from her chair with a roar. She didn't know who to direct her anger at. She slapped the table repeatedly and shouted: "Everything you do is not convenient, you are a waste! Everything is a waste!"

Later, she couldn't stand Liang Mingtai and had to fight hard. She heard that Lin Zisu showed off her skills at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and even the emperor was full of praise. She also felt that this girl was rare in literary talent and could barely match her son. Since her son liked it, she then

That's what it means to have a son.

Mrs. Chang Guogong was afraid that her daughter would not agree, so she played a trick and ordered Aunt Jiang to guard the door and bring Lin Zisu here.

After Hong Xiu's trouble, all the plans of Mrs. Chang Guo came to nothing. Liang Mingtai hadn't gotten married yet, and the girl with whom he married his wife was pregnant with the bastard. This was a scandal in any house. However, the girl was forced to have an abortion, and in front of Lin

Zi Su's face was exposed, which made her even more embarrassed.

Liang Mingtai looked sad and asked: "Mother, this... this... what should I do?"

Mrs. Chang Guogong lost face in public and felt very uncomfortable. Liang Mingtai's question was just adding fuel to the fire. She slapped Liang Mingtai with her hand and said sternly: "You traitor! You can marry whoever you want. From now on, you can marry whoever you want."

I don’t care!”
