Chapter 141 Pingyi’s Marriage 1

Since the female school started smoothly, there have been no problems. Shu Shu Yuwan was very relieved. In any case, the first step went smoothly.

Since then, Pingyi has been coming to Kunde Palace more frequently, and the relationship between the two sisters-in-law has become closer.

Next month will be the day of Pingyi’s wedding.

The princess’s marriage is also the first happy event in the royal family since the emperor ascended the throne, and Shu Shu Yuwan is very concerned.

At this time, Zheng Changping brought a headache-inducing news.

Shu Shu Yuwan rubbed her forehead, closed her eyes with a bit of frustration, and asked her mother who entered the palace, “Mother, what exactly does the eldest sister want to do?”

“This marriage was bestowed by the late emperor. Isn’t it a slap in the face of the royal family for the eldest sister to do this?”

Mrs. Shu’s face was equally unpleasant, but since the matter had been done, and it was done by her own daughter, what else could she do but comfort Shu Shu Yuwan, “Fortunately, Yange is clear-headed and has already sent that woman back.”

With the wedding approaching, Shu Shu Yuwan didn’t say much anymore.

She just said, “Mother, please try to persuade my sister as much as possible.”

She doesn’t know now whether it was right or wrong not to listen to her sister initially and stop this marriage. She just felt that this matter was directly negotiated between the late emperor and Zheng Changping’s, and her interference was inappropriate. Now that she has come into contact with Pingyi, she feels that she is a good girl. She is afraid that with her elder sister as a mother-in-law, Pingyi will not have a good life in the future.

Shu Shu Yuwan sighed.

As her mother said, fortunately, Yange is a good child, and she hopes that he will always be clear-headed in the future.

Mrs. Shu nodded helplessly. She didn’t know how many times she had advised her eldest daughter, and she didn’t know what to do.

“Fortunately, this news has been suppressed by the Zheng Changping’s and hasn’t spread,” Mrs. Shu said thankfully.

Shu Shu Yuwan smiled, “It’s just that the palace may not know, but I guess they all know.”

Mrs. Shu’s expression changed.

Seeing this, Shu Shu Yuwan turned around and comforted, “This marriage is probably not affected. It just leaves a bad impression on the emperor. In the future, if anything happens, they will probably first think that it’s the fault of my sister as a mother-in-law.”

Mrs. Shu said angrily, “But that’s her own fault, she can’t blame others.”

Concubine Xin, Pingyi’s mother also received the news.

Since the engagement with the future husband of her only daughter, Concubine Xin has been paying special attention to Yongchang mansion.

She has been writing to her family to pay attention, and as soon as Shu Yuting brought the person into the mansion, Concubine Xin received the news. She was angry until the person was sent away again, only then did she reluctantly calm down.

When Princess Pingyi came over, Concubine Xin quickly put on a smile, “Pingyi is here.”

“Greetings, Mother.”

Concubine Xin pulled her daughter over, gently touched her head, and said, “Pingyi, when you get married, Mother won’t be by your side anymore. Be careful in everything, get along well with your husband.”

Pingyi nodded shyly.

A hint of sternness appeared in Concubine Xin’s eyes, and she continued, “In the future, you will live in your princess’s mansion. During festivals, go to the Zheng Changping’s mansion to greet the elders. Be respectful to your mother-in-law, don’t neglect your filial piety, but if your mother-in-law tries to control you, just return to the palace and let your imperial brother handle it for you.”

“Okay.”

After hearing this, Pingyi nodded earnestly.

She is not a pushover and won’t let anyone control her.

The emperor also heard from Ah Qing. Originally, such a trivial matter wouldn’t have been reported to the emperor, but Pingyi is the only adult princess of the late emperor and was specially married off before his abdication, so Ah Qing was asked to pay attention.

When he heard that the person had been sent away, the emperor didn’t say much more.

After all, she is Wanwan’s sister.

In the Yongchang mansion, things were no longer so peaceful.

Madam Zheng was very angry.

This time, even the Zheng Changping didn’t find a way to cover for his wife in front of his mother.

Madam Zheng’s face was ugly, and her tone was severe, “You, how can you, at such an old age, not use your brain to think? Yange is about to get married soon. You secretly sent a beautiful woman to Yange’s room. In the future, will Yange be on the same page with you? Have you captured the princess?”

“When you married Changping, did I do this? For so many years, I have turned a blind eye to the mistreatment of Changping’s concubine, as long as it didn’t go too far. When have I not closed one eye and even sided with you?”

“You always feel that I am strict with you, right? How come when you become a mother-in-law yourself, you are not as good as me?”

Shu Yuting couldn’t lift her head under her mother-in-law’s scolding.

Her mother-in-law is always like this. If she has a little bit of reason, she will scold her severely.

Shu Yuting couldn’t help but look at her husband and son. Her husband, who used to step forward to mediate for her, remained silent at this moment, and even her son didn’t seem to approve.

Shu Yuting felt even more aggrieved.

Madam Zheng sighed helplessly. She is old and no longer wants to deal with the affairs of the mansion. She just wants to enjoy a peaceful life, play with her grandchildren, but this daughter-in-law of hers not only can’t stand up but also keeps causing trouble. If she doesn’t keep an eye on her, she’s afraid that something might happen to the mansion one day.

Seeing that Shu Yuting just kept her head down and didn’t speak, not even acknowledging her mistake, her daughter-in-law, she gave up.

Forget it, it’s better to hope that her granddaughter-in-law can stand firm than to hope that her daughter-in-law will stabilize.

So she stopped talking to Shu Yuting and turned to her son, “Changping, you should also pay more attention to Yange marriage. Don’t just let your wife do all the work.”

Zheng Changping understood his mother’s meaning and knew that his mother had been worrying about these matters for years. He felt guilty and said, “Yes, Mother, rest assured.”

Madam Zheng nodded in satisfaction and finally reminded Shu Yuting, “You go, Yange is marrying a princess from the royal family. The royal family must not be disgraced. I hope you understand this, even if not for yourself, do it for your children.”

Shu Yuting replied, “Yes.”

Zheng Changping and Shu Yuting left together.

After so many years of marriage, Zheng Changping also understood his wife well and didn’t want to blame her too much. He would take more responsibility for the affairs of the mansion in the future.
