Two Hundred and Seventieth Chapters My Mother-in-Law Is a Loyal Servant (18)
The latest website: Pingnanhou came back and made a contribution. Even if the previous charges cannot be cleared, the merits and demerits can be offset.
Therefore, in the worst case, the guilt of the Pingnan Hou Mansion can also be exempted.
There is already news in the market that Emperor Chengtai intends to pardon the exiled Second Master Wei, Third Master Wei, and the young sons and nephews of the next generation of Houfu.
It is Mrs. Tai. Two days ago, she was just called into the palace by the Queen Mother to talk.
Although it is not a separate summons, it is also a signal that shows the attitude of the royal family towards the Pingnan Houfu.
Every day I hear good news about the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang can't sit still.
She was eagerly looking forward to the early return of her husband, and she was even more eager in her heart - the crisis in the Hou Mansion was over, and her son should recognize his ancestors and return to the clan!
Mama Zhao: …
She understood Mrs. Zhang's urgency. The Hou Ye came back, and the Hou Mansion seemed to be able to return to normal, but in the end it was seven or eight years apart.
No one knows what happened to Pingnan Hou during this period.
He was injured and lost his memory, and now his memory is restored, but to what extent?
Does he remember the harmony and affection between himself and his wife?
Or, he, he already has another woman outside? And that woman happened to be his savior or something.
I can't blame Mama Zhao for thinking wildly, it's true that people's hearts are changeable.
In the early years, Mrs. Zhang had difficulty gaining a foothold in the Hou Mansion because she had no children.
Mrs. Tai often gave Hou Ye a woman, and Mrs. Zhang had to open her face to her most trusted dowry maid for fame.
But, even so, there are always people who secretly joke that Mrs. Zhang is a "hen who can't lay eggs"!
In fact, it just happened that something happened to the Hou Mansion, otherwise Madam would have been thinking about whether to reveal Feng Yanting's life experience.
After all, the child is already five years old and has been raised well by the Feng family. It seems that he will not die prematurely.
As for the court knowing, will Feng Yanting be taken to the capital as a proton again.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain,
Moreover, her son is not hers alone, so Lord Hou can always think of a way.
The main thing is that Mrs. Zhang herself, with the eldest son, will not be run on in the Hou Mansion.
Seven or eight years later, Mrs. Zhang and Pingnan Hou have been separated for a long time, and she is very uncertain.
With a son, he is still a good-looking, intelligent and sensible good boy, and Mrs. Zhang can also confidently deal with all the changes in the Hou Mansion!
However, Mommy Zhao understands and understands, but it is also really embarrassing.
The truth is revealed, everyone belongs to you!
This is simple to say, but very difficult to implement.
First of all, why switch?
It must not have been requested by Mrs. Zhang, otherwise, Emperor Chengtai would have felt that the Hou Mansion had different intentions.
The imperial court has not yet made a clear intention to bring the direct son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion back to Beijing, so Madam Zhang hastily changed the son first?
Is she doing this because she doubts the intentions of the imperial court, or does she have a ghost in her own heart? !
If one fails, it will also implicate Pingnan Hou.
Husband and wife as one.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Zhang can represent the attitude of Pingnan Hou.
What's more, some people who look down on women will doubt: this may be the original meaning of Pingnan Hou, a woman in Zhang's house, she has such courage, dare to confuse the blood of the Hou's residence? !
Marquis of Pingnan: ... Dou E was not wronged by me!
The Hou Mansion has already committed a crime, and it is finally hoped that it will be revived with the credit of Pingnan Hou.
If there is more trouble because of the "exchange of sons", tsk tsk, let alone Pingnan Hou, even these female relatives such as the Tai Furen and the Second Lady would like to eat Madam Zhang raw.
Therefore, "changing sons" or something has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang.
Far from being the mastermind behind the scenes, she was a poor victim.
The question is, Mrs. Zhang is not the culprit, so who is the real villain? !
In the original plot, Mama Zhao easily put the blame on her daughter-in-law Gu Xiuniang.
First, after the original client Gu Xiuniang came to Beijing, although she also embroidered to support her family and raise her son, she did not act in a high-profile manner.
For Mrs. Zhang and Wei Yuanniang, they were not too close and caring.
The biggest loyal servant of the Feng family is still Mama Zhao.
With an excellent reputation, what Mama Zhao said seems to have natural credibility.
And what she exposed was not someone else, but her own daughter-in-law.
The elders expose the younger ones, and they also have the advantage of being crushed in terms of identity.
In ancient times when filial piety was as great as the sky, few people would question an elder with a good reputation.
Second, the main reason is that Gu Xiuniang is indeed not innocent.
She did secretly exchange a son for her own daughter, but at best she didn't know that she was foolishly used by her mother-in-law.
But Feng Yanting is indeed not her own flesh and blood. When Zhao mama exposed, accused and tried Gu Xiuniang in the attitude of a righteous person, Gu Xiuniang was directly terrified.
There is no need for her to admit it personally, just looking at the guilty conscience and panic on her face, everyone thinks that she is the culprit.
The way it is, as long as a person has flaws in character, what she does is wrong.
Even if it's not her fault, outsiders will feel that it has something to do with her.
Therefore, when Gu Xiuniang reacted and knew the crime that Mama Zhao had convicted of herself, when she tried desperately to complain, no one believed her words.
Everyone believed in Mama Zhao and agreed with her words——
Gu Xiuniang was greedy for the wealth and honor of the Hou's mansion, and took advantage of Zhao's identity and personal connections in the Hou's mansion to secretly collude with the slaves.
As for why a daughter was exchanged for a son, and what wealth a daughter could help her grab in the Hou Mansion, these sounded unreasonable factors, but no one cared.
Anyway, the wicked have already gotten their due, and the eldest son in the Hou residence has successfully recognized his ancestors and returned to the family.
Whether it's acting or watching, everyone seems to be satisfied!
But, that's the original script.
Now it's not easy for Mrs. Zhao to throw the blame on her to be Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law now.
He Tiantian is not as low-key as the original owner. She made money by embroidering herself, and told everyone generously.
She raised Mrs. Zhang and a group of people, and she treated the "eldest daughter" of the Hou Mansion as a little master, taking care of her and being considerate in every possible way.
His own son had to retreat, lest he would wrong the eldest Miss Wei Yuanniang.
He Tiantian's good reputation has already overwhelmed Mama Zhao.
Therefore, if Mama Zhao still acts according to the original script, saying that He Tiantian has ulterior motives, covets wealth, and secretly swaps children, the world will find it hard to believe.
Of course, Mama Zhao may also provide corroborating evidence: If it wasn't for knowing that Wei Yuanniang was her biological daughter, would "Gu Xiuniang" be so biased?
However, Mama Zhao herself can think of reasons to refute this statement: "The Hou Mansion is in trouble. At that time, no one dared to guarantee that Lord Hou is still alive and whether he will return with meritorious service in the future."
"In order to protect themselves, the parents of the second and third madams all asked their daughters to reconcile with the second and third masters of the Wei family." Otherwise, they would not care about those grandchildren.
"...Everyone believes that the Hou Mansion will fall, and my Feng family has already got rid of the slave status and is a decent family."
"If I really feel sorry for my daughter, I will take her back directly instead of letting her continue to suffer for others as a slave!"
On the other hand, He Tiantian is also very good to Feng Yanting.
Maybe not as spoiled and coddled as in the original script, but he also gave the best everything within his ability.
Everyone around, including Feng Yanting, never suspected that "Gu Xiuniang" was not Feng Yanting's biological mother.
And if, as Mama Zhao said, "Gu Xiuniang" is a madman with ulterior motives and daring actions, then her character is very inferior.
How can a person with a bad character take care of his heart, carefully and patiently educate a stranger who is not related by blood? !
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mary is a person who can treat other people's children as their own.
This is very contradictory.
Besides, Mama Zhao still has a hunch that with the current appearance of "Gu Xiuniang", when the truth is revealed in the future, she may not easily confess her guilt!
Mommy Zhao thought back carefully about the past few years, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know when, when "Gu Xiuniang" treated Feng Yanting, she lost her vague conscience and caution.
Whether she disciplined Feng Yanting or faced Feng Zhongliang, she was so righteous and assertive, as if she was not the one who despised her daughter and stole the dragon and turned the phoenix!
Mama Zhao: ...Oh, it's really a dilemma!
In the end how to do? !
Mrs. Zhang must not be at fault, and the best "scapegoat" in the original plan has also become out of control. Who should take the blame for the "exchange"? !
Zhao mama was impatient and annoyed, and she couldn't sleep for the whole night.
However, they are the "loyal servants" set by the script.
After tossing and turning for several days, the whole person looked at a lot of old age. On the day that Pingnan Hou finally arrived in the capital, Zhao mama finally made up her mind.
"...Mommy, how could he treat me like this, Lord Hou?"
"Because of the Hou Mansion, how much suffering and sin have we suffered? We almost died on the way to Beijing when we were escorted!"
"And our Zhang family, it was also because of the Hou Mansion that we were convicted. Up to now, my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are still eating sand at the border."
"As a result, he married a barbarian woman in the southwest, and even gave birth to two sons. Is he, is he worthy of me?!"
The Marquis of Pingnan came back, and he swaggered through the market with a few captured barbarian leaders.
The onlookers who were eating melons found that in the queue of the Marquis of Pingnan, there was not only a barbarian leader, but also a beautiful barbarian woman.
Soon, the identity of the barbarian woman was exposed.
It turned out that when the Marquis of Pingnan was seriously injured, it was the barbarian woman who rescued him and brought him home to recuperate.
After Pingnan Hou woke up, he forgot who he was, let alone his parents and family.
During the subsequent recuperation, Marquis Pingnan fell in love with the barbarian woman secretly, and because he couldn't remember anything and didn't know where to go, he simply stayed in the forest.
The life-saving grace, Ping Nanhou promised himself, and gave birth to two sons with this woman.
Later, Marquis Pingnan regained his memory because of an accident, although it was a little embarrassing - there was a wife in his house who was married to a Ming media.
But after some thought, he discussed with the barbarian woman Haosheng, and finally brought their mother and son into the capital.
The hostess of the Marquis of Pingnan must be the Zhang family, but Ah Man can be a concubine.
In the impression of Marquis Pingnan, his wife, Mrs. Zhang, is not a jealous person. She can accommodate so many concubines and concubines. Compared with her, she can also accommodate a mother and son who have saved her husband's life!
Mrs. Zhang: ...Go to his mother's "not jealous"!
Women in the world, as long as they don't have other intentions or are born to be cheap, don't like to work with people.
Besides, that barbarian girl named Aman, is she an ordinary concubine?
no!
She has a life-saving grace to Pingnanhou, and even Mrs. Tai will thank her from the bottom of her heart.
Also, Aman was "married" to the Marquis of Pingnan at the beginning. Although he did not follow the three media and six hires of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was also a serious marriage.
Aman has also lived with Pingnan Hou as his wife for several years, and their relationship is definitely deeper than that of Mrs. Zhang, the original spouse who has been separated for seven or eight years.
Such a Man, let alone the Marquis of Pingnan, even Mrs. Zhang can't really treat her as an ordinary concubine.
"...Ma'am, Lord Hou was also injured at the time. He doesn't remember anything. He-he didn't stop his wife and marry again, but made a fool of himself!"
Mammy Zhao saw Madam Zhang crying heartbroken, and her heart also ached.
She caressed Mrs. Zhang's back lightly, trying her best to explain and comfort her.
"Good luck fooling people?! Yes, what a good luck fooling people!"
Madam Zhang was stimulated by the words of Zhao Mammy, she raised her head suddenly, and her tearful eyes were full of resentment.
"That Man didn't deliberately seduce a married man, they didn't know about it in advance."
"And after knowing that her husband still has an original wife, Aman quickly abdicated the throne and said virtuously that she will respect and serve me as a lady of the Houfu!"
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Listen! Mommy, come and listen!"
"How profound and righteous? How virtuous and kind?"
"Slowly say that a man like Marquis is affectionate and righteous, even if you and I listened to it, do you think Aman is also very good?"
"Bah! What's good? She's too scheming, she's making progress by retreating."
"She knows that even if she makes trouble, it can't change the fact that I am the hostess of the Hou Mansion. And I, Mrs. Zhang, did nothing wrong. When the Hou Mansion was guilty, I tried my best to save everyone in the Hou Mansion!"
Although Feng Zhongliang did the work, Mrs. Tai, the second room, and the third room should all accept Zhang's favor.
If it wasn't for her, these people would have died on the way to Beijing.
Even if you don't die, it is estimated that you will get injured!
For this point alone, her Zhang family has made great contributions to the Hou Mansion.
Oh, yes, and Yanting!
When she didn't know the future and fate of the Hou Mansion, she used her own ability to keep the roots of the Hou Mansion, and also raised Yan Ting so well.
Her Zhang family is a great hero of the Hou Mansion. With all these things, it is impossible for the Hou Ye to leave her.
What kind of aman, it is impossible to ascend.
And she knew this, so she took the initiative to give in. Not only did she have a good reputation for being reasonable, but it also attracted the pity and guilt of the Marquis of Pingnan.
The more Madam Zhang thought about it, the more difficult it was for Aman to deal with. In addition, the two sons under Aman's knees also made her very afraid.
"Mother Zhao, I can't wait any longer, I must let Yanting recognize his ancestors and return to the clan!"
