Chapter 377, Enmity
Tang Shan took the initiative to teach Shi Fuxin's maid a lesson. When Shi Fuxin approached the old concubine, the old concubine punished Tang Shan for the first time, not only took back her housekeeping rights, but also drove away several of her housewives. This incident caused an uproar in the palace.
After Chu Xuan came back from the outside and heard about this, she couldn't hide her surprise on her face. Looking at Luo Qilan who was holding the butler's card in the mansion, she asked, "Is there any movement from my father's side?"
Luo Qilan shook her head.
Chu Xuan frowned: "There is no movement?"
Luo Qilan was also a little puzzled: "Isn't it? I don't know what Shi and grandmother said at that time." After a pause, she looked at Chu Xuan with a smile.
"Although grandma loves my second brother very much, she is not as good as your husband after all. It is possible to be perfunctory, but it is really strange that there is no movement from the father."
After being married into the palace for many years, she could tell that Chu Zhao is the heart of her father-in-law, and he would be the first to refuse to make Chu Zhao feel wronged and suffer.
Although Tang Shan provoked this incident, Tang Shan is Chu Zhao's official wife. If Tang Shan loses the right to housekeeper, it means that Chu Zhao loses face.
According to the father-in-law's temper, it's time to call Chu Yao and his wife to scold him.
But several hours have passed, but there is no movement from the father-in-law.
Chu Xuan's complexion was a little gloomy, thinking about the survival rules of everyone in the palace.
The situation in the palace is actually not as complicated as outsiders imagined, so many rumors and rumors are just a game between the high-ranking and the low-ranking.
In the palace, the most honorable people are of course grandparents. A word from grandparents can determine the life of everyone in the palace.
Followed by the father, as the heir to the palace, the father also has a great say.
Finally, the princess is the princess. The princess is only a stepmother, and her family background is not obvious. She has no confidence in the palace. In addition, she puts her father and grandmother first in everything.
Grandfathers and grandmothers restrained the father with filial piety, and the father restrained the princess with husbands. The power they wielded is clear at a glance.
Grandfather and grandmother are the most powerful. As for him, he has the pity of his grandfather and grandmother, so he has been above Chu Zhao and Chu Yao since he was a child.
As for Chu Zhao, with the protection of his father, the life in the palace is also very nourishing.
Only Chu Yao, the princess can't protect him, so, among the three brothers, he is the most unhappy.
If Chu Yao had been willing to submit to him and Chu Zhao, there would not have been so many troubles in the palace, but Chu Yao is a rebellious person.
He is eleven years older than Chu Yao. When he was young, he had no hostility towards Chu Yao, but the princess, relying on Chu Yao's youth and cuteness, tried in vain to let Chu Yao compete with him for the favor of his grandparents!
He no longer has a mother, and his father and king are indifferent to him. He can't lose the favor of his grandparents, so he began to drive a wedge between his grandparents and Chu Yao intentionally or unintentionally.
Once some things are done, they will get out of hand. Later, it became his habit to pick on Chu Yao's faults in front of his grandparents. It seems that by doing this, his grandparents will always love him the most.
Chu Yao was very aggressive when he was a child, not only his grandparents liked him, but even his father and king liked him somewhat, which offended Chu Zhao who was protecting things.
Chu Zhao's mother is the king's true love. She is a scheming woman who left Chu Zhao with a lot of manpower. It is because of those people that Chu Yao's bad reputation spread outside the house.
Neither he nor Chu Zhao had a mother, and they were more or less jealous of Chu Yao who had a mother. As Chu Yao got older, his temper became more and more wild, and he became more and more disrespectful to their two elder brothers. Therefore, he and Chu Zhao, who did not see each other, joined forces.
Chu Yao could not get the concubine's protection, and could only be crushed by him and Chu Zhao. If Chu Yao accepted his fate because of this, the trouble between them would not be as out of control as it is now.
But Chu Yao was so lucky that he caught the eyes of Prince Yi, learned kung fu from the guards around Prince Yi, and later made friends with a group of cronies, which became more and more difficult to control.
Later, Chu Yao was reused by the emperor and became the commander of the Supervision Department.
Actually, at this time, Chu Yao, who was isolated and helpless in the palace, could do nothing for them.
The people who have no way to decide in the palace are always the grandmother and the father. No matter how reasonable Chu Yao is, if the grandmother and the father disagree or accept it, everything is just useless.
But the situation has changed now. The appearance of the third sibling today directly broke their survival mode for many years.
Chu Yao is no longer at the bottom!
Luo Qilan looked over: "Sanggong is so optimistic about the third sibling?"
Chu Xuan was silent: "The person who can be favored by the prince will not be far behind." Saying that, he looked at the butler's pair of cards in Luo Qilan's hand.
"Since grandma has let you take charge of the house again, then you should share your worries for grandma. For the third sibling, try not to provoke her."
Luo Qilan smiled: "Why, Xianggong is going to bow to the third brother?"
Chu Xuan glanced at her sideways: "The third younger sibling can make the second younger sibling lose the housekeeping right, and it can also make you lose it."
Luo Qilan snorted and thought to herself, she is not that idiot Tang Shan!
Ronganyuan
Shi Fuxin was reading Master Xiang's letter.
Because of the death of the sixth prince, the emperor ordered the South China Sea Navy to encircle and suppress the Sea Turtle Gang. In the past few months, wars broke out frequently in the South China Sea, causing the situation in the South China Sea to be very chaotic, which affected Baicaotang's delivery of medicinal materials to Shennongtang.
"Ma'am, Aunt Guan is here and says she wants to see you."
Shi Fuxin didn't raise her head: "No see."
After hearing this, Nanny Leng quickly backed out, and then came back quickly: "Madam, Aunt Guan said that if you don't see her, she will stand outside and not leave."
Shi Fuxin threw the letter in her hand onto the table, and said with a sneer, "Aunt Guan is good at threatening people, let her in, I want to see what she has to say."
Soon, Guan Xiuyan was brought in by Nanny Leng.
"Xiuyan greets her cousin."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan's body, but didn't cry out.
She didn't make a sound, Guan Xiuyan just bent her body like that.
Shi Fuxin just kept looking at her like this, seeing Guan Xiuyan biting her lips tightly, her body still shaking slightly, and then said: "Your courtesy was wrong just now."
Guan Xiuyan's complexion changed, and she blessed herself again: "Concubine Guan, please greet my wife."
Shi Fuxin finally got her up: "You were raised by your concubine mother, so don't make such etiquette mistakes again in the future. You insist on seeing me, what's the matter?"
Guan Xiuyan took a quick look at Shi Fuxin, but couldn't see her expression, so she could only say weakly: "The second sister-in-law invited me to visit the yard yesterday. I didn't expect that she would use me to deal with the maid beside Madam."
Shi Fuxin raised her hand to interrupt her: "Only you know what you are thinking in your heart. Do you know why I didn't attack you yesterday?"
Guan Xiuyan looked at Shi Fuxin and shook her head.
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Because I know you are just a chess piece in Tang Shan's hand, and it's still insignificant."
Guan Xiuyan's complexion turned pale.
Shi Fuxin didn't look at her cute and pitiful appearance, and continued: "Guan Shi, as long as you keep yourself safe, I won't make things difficult for you."
"This time An Ran was beaten, you were just making excuses and didn't actually participate in it, so I ignored you, but next time, if you hinder me or damage my interests, I will not show mercy to you."
"You have to be clear that if I really want to touch you, Chu Yao can't stop it, and the concubine mother can't stop it. So, don't mess with me."
Guan Xiuyan was very uncomfortable with the contempt and contempt in Shi Fuxin's tone, and suddenly looked up: "Second sister-in-law wants to invite me to visit the yard, what can I do?"
Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Guan, do you know that your identity has changed?"
"You are now a concubine, but you still treat yourself as a cousin living in the palace, and you want to enjoy the courtesy of everyone in the palace. It is precisely because of this greed in your heart that Tang Shan has the opportunity to take advantage of you."
"Also, the Queen Mother is holding you, you don't really think that the Queen Mother likes you?"
"Be sober, so that you can live a better life."
