Chapter 77 Shen Qing and Her Mothers

Looking at Madam Yanglinghou's straight back, Lin Xuefu gritted her teeth unwillingly. However, everything had been sent to her, and she had no other choice but to accept it.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xuefu looked at Shen Qing, pursed her lips slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Young lady, you did it on purpose, right?"

Shen Qing had always prepared the congratulatory gifts for the Yangling Marquis Mansion, and there had never been any mistakes. But when she first entered the circle of ladies from high families, something went wrong.

Moreover, Shen Qing didn't prepare any gifts, but she prepared a brocade box to hold the gifts.

What's more coincidental is that Shen Qing, who has always been well-dressed, didn't even wear a piece of expensive jewelry today. How could Lin Xuefu believe that this was just an accident?

Hearing Lin Xuefu's faintly defensive voice, Shen Qing turned to look at her, with a smile on her lips, "Aunt Lin, don't you pretend anymore?"

Ever since Shen Qing married into the Yangling Marquis Mansion, Lin Xuefu has always looked gentle and delicate. Even if someone bullied her, she would only shed tears of grievance and rarely refute, let alone resist. It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian are always worried that she will be bullied by Shen Qing.

Now I can't bear it anymore.

Lin Xuefu didn't panic when Shen Qing revealed her true colors, because she was confident enough to ensure that Mrs. Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian would be on her side.

Seeing the bright smile on Shen Qing's lips, Lin Xuefu's eyebrows were condensed, as if she was a little angry, "Shen Qing, why do you always target me?"

Lin Xuefu's fingers in her sleeves clenched again. Shen Qing must not have known that although she was the doting niece of Mrs. Yanglinghou, she had never been allowed to appear on such occasions because of Mu Xueliu's presence in the past few years. Later, Mu Xueliu finally got married, and she still arranged for Mu Ziqian to marry Shen Qing. Because she wanted to maintain Mu Ziqian's clean image, Lin Xuefu lost the opportunity to appear in front of others. , I finally got another chance to get pregnant a few days ago, but was strangled in the cradle by Mu Xueliu again.

This time, Mu Xueliu finally stopped getting in the way, but Shen Qing showed up again...

Thinking of this, Lin Xuefu almost bit her silver teeth into pieces and looked at Shen Qing with red eyes.

Lin Xuefu didn't understand. She just wanted to get what she deserved. What was wrong with her? Why is everyone targeting her?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuefu continued: "You are a high-ranking young lady from the Hou Mansion, so you don't know how much effort I have put in to be able to appear at today's banquet. Why can't you just turn a blind eye?" Just close one eye and watch me make a fool of myself, are you satisfied?"

By the end, Lin Xuefu could hardly suppress the hatred in her heart.

Hearing this, Shen Qing suddenly smiled and asked: "What you call hard work, are you acting in my name?"

Lin Xuefu subconsciously retorted, "I never said that I was the young lady of Yanglinghou Mansion."

Shen Qing came slightly closer and looked into her eyes, "Did you deny it when mother introduced her to the ladies?"

Lin Xuefu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Madam Yanglinghou naturally introduced her to everyone as the daughter-in-law of the Yanglinghou Mansion, and Lin Xuefu naturally did not deny it, because it was an honor she had never enjoyed before, how could she be willing to break it.

Seeing Lin Xuefu looking as if the whole world owed her grievances, Shen Qing couldn't help but sneered, "Lin Xuefu, if I really want to target you, do you think you can still sit on your seat safely now?"

Lin Xuefu was startled and frowned subconsciously, then heard Shen Qing continue to speak, "It's just a concubine, and she's not qualified to be targeted by me."

After saying that, Shen Qing turned his head and continued to drink tea and watch the ceremony.

Seeing the joyful smile on Mrs. Yanglinghou's face, Shen Qing was a little curious. After knowing the truth, could Mrs. Yanglinghou still be able to smile?

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't take her seriously at all, the corners of Lin Xuefu's already pursed lips became even tighter, and a feeling of extreme humiliation grew rapidly from the bottom of her heart.

When Mrs. Yanglinghou came back, she saw Lin Xuefu with her head slightly lowered, her eyes slightly red, looking pitiful that she had been wronged but did not dare to speak out.

A look of complexity flashed across Mrs. Yanglinghou's face, "But you feel wronged because I took your bracelet?"

Lin Xuefu shook her head and spoke with slightly choked sobs, "What are you talking about, my aunt? As a member of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, it is my responsibility to protect the face of the Marquis Mansion. I am nothing more than a bracelet. It's greatest value is for my aunt to receive a compliment from the Queen."

After hearing Lin Xuefu's words of taking the overall situation into consideration, Mrs. Yanglinghou was immediately relieved. She took her hand and said softly: "Auntie has always known that you are a very sensible person, so since you are not angry about the bracelet, , why does it look like this?”

When Mrs. Yanglinghou asked, Lin Xuefu's eyes instantly turned a little red again, with a faint glimmer of water, "Xuefu just suddenly remembered that she had just made several ladies mistakenly think that I was Yanglinghou's young lady." , I have wronged my sister and feel a little guilty..."

Lin Xuefu said this, how could Mrs. Yanglinghou not understand that Shen Qing must have said something to Lin Xuefu just now while she was away, which made Lin Xuefu feel so uncomfortable.

In addition, not only had she just taken a bracelet from Lin Xuefu, but when she came back, she almost misunderstood that Lin Xuefu was angry with her, so the guilt in Mrs. Yanglinghou's heart suddenly became stronger, and the look she looked at Shen Qing became more and more unkind. After a while, "Shen Qing, it was I and several ladies who told me that Xue Fu was my daughter-in-law. Why are you coming at me and making things difficult for her? Moreover, Xue Fu is Qian'er's concubine. Is what my daughter-in-law said wrong?”

After listening, Shen Qing's expression slightly condensed, as if she was a little embarrassed, "According to what my mother said, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the courtyard every morning to say hello. Does my mother think I should go to you first, or go to the nearest Aunt Xu first?" Where?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou didn't realize the meaning of Shen Qing's words for a while, and a bit of confusion flashed on her face. Shen Qing explained kindly, "According to mother's theory, since a concubine can be called a daughter-in-law, she can also be called a daughter-in-law." The one who is called mother is also a mother, so naturally I have to go to each courtyard to say hello..."

Shen Qing paused and then suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that mother used to call her more than just Aunt Chen... No, we can't call her Aunt Chen now. She should call her 'Mother Chen'. To make it easier to distinguish, I still Let’s put the last name first.

I heard before that Mother Lin sent several of her father’s concubines to the nunnery. In addition to Mother Chen, there were also Mother Liu, Mother Quan and Mother Zhuang. Since they were all mothers, naturally I, as the daughter-in-law, couldn’t just watch. Seeing them living outside, I thought of finding an auspicious day to bring the mothers back to the mansion, so that our Yangling Marquis Mansion could have a good reunion. "

Shen Qing spoke of her mother, and Mrs. Yanglinghou felt dizzy. Even Lin Xuefu, who was somewhat intelligent, could not figure out this complicated relationship for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Madam Yanglinghou realized that the "Mother Lin" Shen Qing mentioned seemed to be... her?
