Early the next morning, Xiao Qin was escorted by Shitou himself, and accompanied by an uncle who was present that day, went to Xiangyang.

As for Grandma Xiang's family, they were beaten to death with sticks and all their property was confiscated. Xiao Qin's cronies in the Gu family were all arrested and sold away without leaving any one behind.

Zhang Guifen, Gu Er's eldest wife, took over the entire Gu family quietly. Before she knew it, she had already become the head of the Gu family.

As for the Xiao Qin family, according to the outside world, they went back to their hometown in Xiangyang to pay homage to the ancestors of the Gu family for their husbands, and at the same time chanted sutras and prayed for Gu Yankai, the Marquis of Ningyuan, and prayed for his speedy recovery.

Within a few days, the affairs of the Gu family were forgotten by people, because the quarrel in the court about the title of King Xianshu became more and more fierce. Everyone could see that, Han Zhang and the people of Yuzhou, but

He was just a pawn of Emperor Xining. The person who really wanted to pursue the title for King Xian Shu was Emperor Xining Zhao Zongquan.

The quarrel between the two groups in the court became more and more fierce. Among the opponents, Qi Heng had the lowest official position, but he was the one who danced the most happily. He relied on the trust of the Queen Mother and the achievements he had made in suppressing the rebellious Wang Yu Party a while ago.

, actually directly impeached Han Zhang in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, saying that Han Zhang was a flatterer and was not worthy of serving as the prime minister of the dynasty and commanding hundreds of officials.

It seems that the target is directed at Han Zhang, but in fact it is already pointed at Emperor Xining. Everyone knows that Grand Prime Minister Han Zhang is the highest-ranking and most powerful among the courtiers who support Emperor Xining.

The quarrel in the court was in full swing, but Wang Zhong, with his wife, nephews and nieces, lived a comfortable life without hearing what was going on outside the window.

Now the Salt and Iron Department is under thorough investigation from top to bottom, and the entire department is basically in a state of paralysis. The account books over the years have been opened one by one and re-checked.

Seven or eight people from the Salt and Iron Division have been arrested and imprisoned, and are being interrogated jointly by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

All the errands of the Salt and Iron Department have naturally come to a halt. Wang Zhong, the deputy salt and iron envoy, can only stay at home for the time being, waiting for the results from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Jiying Lane, Shengjia.

After defeating Lin Sushuang in a fight, he was imprisoned in Zhuangzi and given only two bowls of lard rice every day. At the end of every month, Wang Ruofu would go to Zhuangzi to take a look at Lin Sushuang in person and tell him that Chang Feng had returned.

After failing the exam, Mo Lan finally got pregnant again, but because she was jealous of her mother, she had another miscarriage and had to lie in bed for more than a month before she recovered.

Seeing Lin Sushuang's helpless and furious look, Wang Ruofu felt like he was in a state of elation. He had made up for all the grievances he had suffered from Lin Sushuang in the past twenty years.

Haishi took the child to Haozhou to look for Changbai. Sheng Hong was busy proposing marriage to Chang Feng. Old Mrs. Sheng didn't care about anything in Shou'an Hall. Wei Shuyi was a duty-bound person who didn't fight or rob, just nest.

In the corner of the Sheng family, Chang Dong was raised, and even Rulan got married. Now the entire Sheng family has become Wang Ruofu's world.

If this person's life is too smooth, it is easy for things to happen. Just a few days after Wang Ruofu took charge of the family, he forgot about what Mrs. Sheng said about not allowing Kang Wang to come to the house. Last time, he was killed by Kang Wang.

She was so cheated that she even lost her housekeeping rights, and had long forgotten about being educated by her husband, son, and daughter. She even planned to marry Ru Lan to her maternal nephew, but was stopped by the Kang Wang family.

I also forgot about my unhappiness, and invited Mr. Kang and Wang to come to my house every once in a while to have tea and chat.

On this day, Kang Wang came to Sheng's house again to find Wang Ruofu.

Now that both daughters are married and there is no one around to talk to, Wang Ruofu is almost bored to death staying at home. When the Kang Wang family comes, Wang Ruofu is very happy and drags the Kang Wang family around.

Damn, keep chatting.

But who is Mrs. Kang and Wang? She is a master who can't see rabbits but doesn't let go of hawks. She only has herself in her heart. For her own sake, any sisterly relationship is all bullshit. Kang Wang came to Wang Ruofu with a purpose in itself.

"How's your little girl doing lately?" Kang Wang suddenly changed the topic and asked about Minglan.

Wang Ruofu didn't think anything was wrong. He just thought that Mrs. Kang, as his aunt, was concerned about his niece: "She should be raising the baby at home now! Her belly is more than nine months old, and she is about to give birth. At this time

Don’t dare to move around.”

They are all women, and they are women who have given birth to three children. Kang Wang naturally knows what women should pay attention to when they are pregnant.

Mrs. Kang Wang held the tea cup and pretended to be profound and said: "You are my sister. I will tell you some things directly. Your six girls did not come out of your belly after all. They may not be of the same mind as you in the future."

"That's not true. Every time Sixth Girl comes back, she is very respectful to me!" Wang Ruofu looked at Mrs. Kang, thinking of how Minglan had been obedient and obedient in front of him in the past, and subconsciously defended Minglan.

"That was now, that girl was still in her infancy. Now she is a fourth-rank official in the court. She also holds a lucrative job such as the Salt Service. She also has a niece who has been named a princess. Now she is the eldest daughter of the Wang family.

, the time is still short now, but if it takes a long time, will she still take you as the legitimate mother in her eyes? "

"This..." Wang Ruofu has never thought about it this way. If someone else said this, Wang Ruofu would definitely not believe it. After all, Minglan was also the one she watched grow up, so she just said this.

People are her biological sisters from the same mother, so the effects are naturally different.

"Liu Yatou has been obedient and docile since she was a child. Although she is married to the Wang family now, she is always respectful to me every time she comes home. She has a good relationship with Hualan and Rulan, and has a good relationship with Changbai.

The relationship is also good.”

Although Wang Ruofu has a hot temper, he is kind-hearted.

Kang Wang said: "My silly sister, she is respectful to you now because her mother and brother are living under your hands. It does not mean that she will be respectful to you in the future."

"What does sister mean by this?" Wang Ruofu asked puzzledly.

Kang Wang said: "Isn't Liu Yatou pregnant with a child now? Even if she gives birth to the child in her belly, it will take one or two months to be in confinement. Wang Zhong is a young man in his twenties and is very vigorous. How can he

I have endured it for so long.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Ruofu was a little embarrassed by the few words spoken by Mrs. Kang. How could a mother-in-law talk about her son-in-law with her sister?

But Kang Wang said without hesitation: "My silly sister, think about it carefully, your son-in-law's family is very small, he is already in his twenties, and he and Liu Yatou have their first child.

Tell me, doesn't he want to spread the branches and spread the incense in his heart?"

Wang Ruofu nodded and said: "There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. Spreading branches and spreading leaves, and passing on the incense must be the top priority, so we must naturally consider it."

Kang Wang said: "It is common for ordinary men to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. People of your sixth son-in-law's age have several children. If you were your sixth son-in-law, would you think about Dona?"

How many concubines, how many more wives, how many more children?"

Wang Ruofu nodded with deep understanding and said: "Of course I will take more concubines and have children."

Kang Wang's voice changed and he suddenly said: "If you think about it carefully, your sons-in-law are all going to take concubines. If you are unlucky and take in a woman like that bitch Lin, you will have six concubines in the future.

How much suffering will it cost?”

Wang was stunned for a moment, and then the anger in her heart was aroused.

Kang and Wang struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Didn't you just say that your sixth girl is docile and well-behaved? With her temperament, do you think she can fight that kind of bitch? Men are all ordinary. One day, your sixth girl will be raped by someone.

He broke into the house and took away his favor. Your promising sixth son-in-law was seduced by another vixen. Don't let your entire Sheng family hate you as well."

"Isn't that true?" When Wang Ruofu said this, he was obviously not very confident.

"All men have the same virtue!" Kang Wang said earnestly, holding Wang Ruofu's hand and urging him: "How long did it take for that bitch Lin to be sent to Zhuangzi? Have you forgotten it?"

Wang Ruofu was completely confused by what Mrs. Kang said: "But even if my sixth son-in-law is seduced by another fox in the future, there is nothing I can do about it!"

"At critical moments, you still have to rely on your sisters!" Mrs. Kang Wang looked at Wang Ruofu and said.

"What does sister mean by this?" Wang Ruofu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have many concubines in my family. There is one named Yuner. She is very handsome. The wealth and life of her biological mother and brothers are in my hands. You, the mother-in-law, come forward and take those

Send the girl to your son-in-law's house.

When your sixth girl is inconvenient, let Yuner serve your son-in-law. In the future, your son-in-law will find a powerful person. Your sixth girl will have Yuner to help you. It will be easier for them to join forces.

Six girls can't support each other alone."

In fact, Kang Wang's words could not stand up to careful scrutiny. However, Wang Ruofu was stupid. In addition, Kang Wang was his biological sister, so he subconsciously thought that Kang Wang would not harm her and everything was for her sake.

Seeing that Wang Ruofu was a little shaken, Mrs. Kang Wang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "If you think about it again, in the future your sixth girl will have stiff wings and won't listen to you anymore, but there is still Yuner who will be your spy. If that happens

If the girl is more powerful and wins the favor of your son-in-law, no matter what happens in the future, it will be of great benefit to you and not a single harm..."

After a while, Mrs. Wang was deceived by Mrs. Kang and became lame.

The next day, Mrs. Kang brought Kang Yun'er to Sheng's house and met Wang Ruofu. Mrs. Wang was quite satisfied with her appearance, figure and temperament.

As the time entered October, the remote area where Wang Zhong and Ming Lan lived in the Princess's Mansion in the west of the city was almost swamped by the female servants, and basin after basin of hot water was sent into the delivery room.

In the delivery room, Minglan was lying on the bed, biting into her mouth the cotton cloth that had been folded seven or eight times over and over again. Her forehead was already covered with sweat. Wang Zhong was sitting by the bed, holding Minglan's hand and gently holding Minglan's hand.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, everything will be fine for you and the child!" Wang Zhong looked into Minglan's eyes and encouraged him softly.

Ming Lan, who was covered in sweat and had severe pain in her lower abdomen, met Wang Zhong's gaze and recalled that when he was in Yangzhou in the past, Wang Zhong braved taboos to save his biological mother who was sentenced to death by the doctor and midwife. A smile appeared on her face.

, the hand holding Wang Zhong's palm couldn't help but add a little more strength: "I believe you!"

An hour later, a loud cry sounded, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, madam, it's a brother!" The midwife carefully cut the umbilical cord with sterilized scissors, and handed the baby, which was covered in blood and amniotic fluid, to Granny Cui, who had been waiting for a long time. She continued to stare at it carefully.

The place where the child came out just now.

Aunt Cui took the child, carefully carried the crying brother to her side, and together with Cui Wei, she scrubbed the brother's body.

"My brother's cry is so loud, he must be strong and strong!" Aunt Cui is also an experienced woman. Danju and Xiaotao next to her also came over curiously and looked at the newly born little life.

The newborn baby is wrinkled and red all over, like a little monkey, and its facial features have not yet grown, so it does not look good.

However, several people were still very happy to see it. Aunt Cui put the child on the prepared scale and weighed her, and said with a smile: "Seven pounds and eight ounces!"

Aunt Cui skillfully put her eldest brother in the swaddling clothes, leaving only a red little face exposed. After a few gentle coaxings, the crying stopped, she smacked his little mouth a few times, and fell asleep directly.

After a while, the midwife's surprised voice sounded again: "It's out!"

"It's the head!"

Hearing the midwife's words, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. These twins were most likely to suffer from malposition, and now the head came out first, which was more than half the success.

"Ma'am, try harder!"

The midwife reminded loudly, Minglan shook the cotton tightly, held the quilt tightly with one hand, and firmly grasped Wang Zhong's hand with the other, holding back the strength to feed, her whole face turned red from holding back, and the veins in her hands jumped.

Come out, finally.

"Wow!"

There was another loud cry, and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on Ming Lanneng's face, and his hands immediately let go.

"Out!"

"Still a brother!"

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!"

"Madam, you are so lucky!"

Wang Zhong carefully helped Minglan lie down, and carefully took Minglan's pulse and checked her body. Fortunately, there was no bleeding.

After confirming that it was correct, Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Cui and Cui Wei, one by one, carried the two boys in front of them.

"Master, my second brother is lighter, only six pounds and eight taels!" said Aunt Cui.

"reward!"

“There’s a reward for everyone!”

······

Three days later, for the child's baptism, Mrs. Sheng, Chang Dong, Gu Er and Sheng Hong, Hua Lan and Zhuang Jie'er, and Ru Lan and Wen Yanjing gathered at the princess's mansion.

Seeing the redness on their bodies gradually fading away and their skin gradually turning a bit rosy, with their eyes always closed as if they didn't get enough sleep, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
