Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 327: Making people look down upon

Shen Jinglan returned to the house in a depressed manner, went back to the house to change her clothes, and hurried to her mother-in-law to say hello.

The rules of the Yongping Marquis Mansion are very strict. The daughters-in-law have to go to their mother-in-law Zhang every day to have a morning and evening check-up. If they are late, they will be severely punished again.

Shen Jinglan’s husband has a total of five brothers. Her husband is the youngest son, so Shen Jinglan has four sisters-in-law.

By the time she arrived at Zhao's residence, three sisters-in-law had arrived, and Shen Jinglan secretly let out a sigh of relief.

 Fortunately, she is not the latest.

 Mothers always love their youngest sons more, and the same is true for the mistress of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang. However, she really loves her youngest son, but she really looks down on her younger daughter-in-law, Shen Jinglan.

Shen Jinglan bowed to her mother-in-law in a polite manner. After waiting for a long time, Ms. Zhang snorted from her nostrils: "Get up."

 But she was not given a seat.

The other three sisters-in-law were sitting aside, and she was the only one standing awkwardly. Shen Jinglan's face was red with embarrassment, but she did not dare to say anything.

Ms. Zhao only chatted about household matters with the three daughters-in-law, and did not even look at Shen Jinglan. Shen Jinglan struggled for a long time, and finally waited until the latest sister-in-law rushed over.

The belated daughter-in-law also greeted Madam Zhang politely, but Madam Zhang said with a smile: "Your sisters-in-law have just arrived, it's okay, please sit down quickly."

Shen Jinglan was clearly the sister-in-law of the belated sister-in-law, but Zhao ignored her and only mentioned a few sisters-in-law, just to embarrass her.

But ever since Shen Jinglan married into the Marquis Mansion, she has been treated badly, so such a run-in is not unusual.

When everyone was seated, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Shen Jinglan and said calmly with a wooden face: "Since everyone is here, don't stay here anymore. Find a chair and sit down by yourself."

Shen Jinglan agreed, bowed her head deeply, and sat down at the edge.

Ms. Zhao chatted with the four daughters-in-law for a while, and finally said to Shen Jinglan: "I have something to discuss with the fifth family today."

Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Shen Jinglan quickly raised her head and said flattered, "If your mother-in-law has anything to do, just ask her."

Ms. Zhao winked at the nanny beside her. After a while, the nanny led a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to Shen Jinglan.

Shen Jinglan looked at Ms. Zhang in surprise, and Ms. Zhang said calmly: "This girl is the daughter of my grandmother. I want to give her to Lao Wu as a side room. You can take her back later."

After Mrs. Zhao finished explaining to Shen Jinglan, without waiting for her reply, she said to the other daughters-in-law: "There is nothing else to do today, so you can just go back."

 The female family members all stood up, bowed respectfully and left.

Shen Jinglan followed at the end with the concubine that Zhao gave to her husband. After leaving the courtyard, she ordered the maid beside her: "Xiao Tao, please go back with the girl first."

Xiao Tao took the order and left first with the little girl.

Shen Jinglan's face was sullen, and her heart felt like a ball of cotton wool. Seeing this, several other sisters-in-law came forward to comfort her. "It's normal for a mother-in-law to reward a concubine, so don't take it personally."

 “It’s just a concubine, don’t worry about it so much.”

“Yes, it’s important to take care of yourself.”

These sisters-in-law said polite and comforting words, but Shen Jinglan didn't know that these people were just being polite to her in a superficial way, and there was no half-hearted sincerity.

Shen Jinglan, who has a strong nature, forced out a smile and replied to several people: "Sisters-in-law, don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, several people said goodbye to her politely, and walked towards the yard of the leader's sister-in-law to drink tea and chat while talking and laughing, leaving her alone.

When Shen Jinglan first entered the Hou Mansion, she wanted to have a good relationship with her four sisters-in-law. However, no matter how hard she tried to please her, the other four were always politely alienated from her, never getting along with her sincerely, and always getting along with her. She was excluded.

At first, Shen Jinglan thought they were dissatisfied with her low background, because the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law all came from high families, but later she found out that the fourth sister-in-law, who came into the family less than half a year before her, turned out to be the daughter of a merchant. At that time, it was because the Hou family was in trouble and needed a huge sum of money. The old Hou had no choice but to form a relationship with a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan and marry a merchant girl for his fourth son.

In this world, no matter how wealthy the merchants are, they are still lower-class people and cannot be compared with the nobles. Most of the officials' families will not marry merchants.

 So, the fourth sister-in-law, who entered the family only half a year earlier than her, is not comparable to Shen Jinglan in terms of status.

However, she was able to be accepted by the Marquis Mansion, but she was having a hard time and was not welcomed everywhere. Shen Jinglan was really puzzled.

Shen Jinglan had a bad encounter with Jing Shu today, and she found bad luck with her mother-in-law again when she came back. She was so disheartened that she couldn't help crying and said to the grandmother beside her: "Mom, what do you mean? Am I born to be unpopular? It’s just that my eldest sister refuses to forgive me because of what happened in the past. My mother-in-law resents me because of what happened before my marriage to Wu Lang. I can understand that, but my sisters-in-law are also estranged. Is it because I don't want to get along with you because I'm from a low background? The fourth sister-in-law is a merchant's daughter, so why can they tolerate her but not me? "

This nanny was brought over from the Shen Mansion by Shen Jinglan. She is old and used to seeing things in the world, so she naturally sees things more clearly than Shen Jinglan.

When a woman marries, a woman of high birth will naturally be able to establish herself in her husband's family as quickly as possible, but if her husband's family can sincerely accept her, it depends on a person's character.

Shen Jinglan lost her virginity before marriage and married into the prince's house through such disgraceful means. Naturally, her sisters-in-law, who were ladies from famous families and strictly adhered to women's ethics, looked down upon her. Fortunately, they were all ladies, but they looked down upon her in their hearts. I'll be polite and polite on the surface, but if I want others to accept me sincerely, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Shen Jinglan is strong-willed by nature and will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. However, she has a narrow vision and a limited structure. She does not know how to be a human being, and she has not cultivated the virtues that a woman should have. Although she married into a high-ranking family as she wished, It is destined to be unable to win over people's hearts and lose its foothold.

Mammy knew very well the temperament of the second girl in her family, so how could she dare to tell the truth to her, so she only consoled her perfunctorily: "Don't be anxious, girl, your days to marry into the Hou Mansion are still short, and if you stay for a long time, you will naturally be happy with your wishes." ”

Shen Jinglan was complaining to her grandma about her grievances when the little girl outside came in and replied: "Madam, the young master is back."

Shen Jinglan hurriedly dried her tears and asked hurriedly: "Where is the young master?"

The little girl pouted and said, "When the young master entered the courtyard, he went to the house of the girl whom the old lady had just rewarded."

When Shen Jinglan heard this, she was so angry that she cursed: "Sexy boy, you were so talkative when you first got along with me, but now you're having **** less than three months after we got married."
