Chapter 348： A virtuous wife brings few disasters to her husband

Chapter 348 A virtuous wife brings few disasters to her husband

Mr. Wen thought of the noise in Peng’s yard just now and subconsciously rubbed his temples, “Don’t mention it, it’s just a pot of porridge!”

He sighed softly, not wanting to talk about the scandal at his friend's family, but if he didn't talk about it, it would be difficult for the Li family to deal with it.

"The concubine of the Peng family was fine when she entered the house. After giving birth to a child, she became ambitious to be the head of the family. So, the housekeeper who had been following Mr. Peng since she was a child was drugged. The housekeeper often fell ill, so she took the opportunity to control the backyard. Treatment The legitimate daughter looks glamorous on the surface, but is treated harshly in reality.

"She even made false accounts and gained a lot of money, which she took home to support her brother. Previously, her family came over and saw that your shop was doing well, so she became interested. I also want her family to live nearby, but Never found an opportunity.

“It happened that my mother-in-law noticed that Jia Huan and my daughter-in-law were walking around frequently, which is why today’s incident happened. I wanted to extort some benefits from your family, take over the business, and let my mother-in-law’s family live closer..."

“This is really…” The Li family were stunned when they heard this.

Although they all knew that there were many secrets in the backyards of wealthy families, this was the first time they listened so carefully, and at the same time, they were very surprised.

How could a concubine, half master and half servant, cause so many troubles? !

“Isn’t it said that scholars should cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern their country, and bring peace to the world? Mr. Peng is also a learned man, but he doesn’t even know that the back house is in such trouble?”

The old lady shook her head, her admiration for scholars suddenly lost a third of her disillusionment.

Mr. Wen also blushed and reluctantly defended his friend: "Mr. Peng really doesn't care much about the affairs of the back house, but now he is alert. The child is still young and cannot be separated from his mother, so the concubine is temporarily locked in the backyard, but All the wives and maids around him have been sold, and they can no longer cause trouble.

“After a while, he will also marry a well-educated and sensible woman as his official wife as soon as possible, and will no longer take a concubine as his wife. The so-called right match is really important.”

Everyone nodded, and the old lady asked again: "Then what will Mr. Peng do with Miss Peng?"

"This is even more troublesome!" Mr. Wen glanced at the anxious family and said, "In the past few years, the little girl has suffered a lot of harsh treatment. Mr. Peng naturally wants to make up for it, but it is indeed a crime for her to move around frequently with her husband. It was wrong, so I was locked up in the boudoir to copy the female rings.”

The old lady understood that Mr. Peng was waiting for the Li family to express its stance.

After all, she is a woman. Even if she makes a mistake, it is not good for her to take the initiative to propose marriage and lower her status.

"Mr. Wen, no one knows our family's affairs better than you. The eldest daughter-in-law is selfish and vicious, and the second daughter-in-law... Needless to say, the family will not be at peace if she interferes.

"So, getting married and choosing a daughter-in-law are not only important events in the lives of the boys, but also important events for our family. What's more, Jiaren still has to study, and Jiahuan's marriage is the first one for the Li family's grandchildren, so we must be cautious no matter what."

Mr. Wen nodded quickly, "Auntie is right, this is what it should be. A good wife and a husband will cause less trouble, so you should be cautious."

“Well, please wait a moment and I’ll ask my family.”

“Auntie, you’re welcome!”

The old lady got up and took her family into the wing. Only her grandfather and grandson were present.

The old lady shook her grandson's hand. Before she could speak, her eyes were red, "Brother Huan, your second uncle is living alone now, and you see it. Jiaren and Jiayi are so pitiful, you I know. Choosing a wife is really important. You are only fifteen and too young to act on impulse.

"Tell the truth to grandma, do you pity Miss Peng, or do you really like her and must marry her as your wife? If you don't want to marry, don't have any worries. Our family naturally has ways to compensate the Peng family, and it will not affect Your brothers and sisters study.”

Jia Huan knelt down on her grandma’s knees and shed tears.

He has never made a fuss since he was a child, nor does he act coquettishly with his grandma. The only way to express his filial piety is to help his grandma do more work.

He actually thought that grandma liked his older brothers more, but he didn't expect that grandma would protect him like this at this time. Even though he made such a big mistake, she didn't beat or scold him, but comforted him instead. "Grandma, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so close to Miss Peng, but grandma, she is really a good girl. She didn't look down on me because I was a cook, and encouraged me to study more and open a big restaurant in the future. She ate The food is so delicious, she likes whatever I eat.

"She is also very handy, and her braiding is very beautiful. She is also kind-hearted, even though she is deprived of food, she also takes care of her little maid. Every time I secretly bring her snacks, she always leaves two pieces. She …”

Xu really liked her and was familiar enough with her. Jia Huan started talking a lot and her eyes were brighter than ever before.

The old lady was really happy and emotional looking at her grandson like this.



As Jia Huan spoke, she blushed when she didn't hear grandma's response, "Grandma, did I say too much? But Miss Peng is so good. She is really not a bad girl. If she hadn't been forced to do anything, she wouldn't have said anything. You won’t ask me for help…”

The old lady patted her grandson on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, grandma knows that she must be a good girl to make my grandson like her so much. But, brother Huan, getting married doesn't just mean that you two like it, it also depends on the two of you. Family, grandma can’t guarantee whether you can succeed or not.

"Tomorrow grandma will visit the Peng family to see Miss Peng and listen to Mr. Peng's request. After all, the Peng family is a scholarly family. How bad is our Li family? You are not a scholar either. Let's talk about this marriage. It would be too easy.”

Jia Huan felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on him, and his head, which was still hot just now, suddenly cooled down.

Even if today's incident had not happened, it would be difficult for him as a cook to marry Miss Peng, not to mention that in Mr. Peng's mind, he might have been labeled as seducing Miss Peng.

“Grandma…”

Jia Huan wanted to say a few more words, but Mrs. Li shook her head, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to God."

Mr. Wen heard that the old lady was going to visit the Peng family tomorrow, so he got up and went to the academy again.

But the old lady stopped him and said: "Yesterday, the Yan family went to the village to make a fuss and almost killed Dayong's wife. Fu Niu'er got angry and took out the imperial edict.

"Now that Fu Niu'er has been granted the title of Princess Kangle and has a fiefdom, I'm afraid the capital will know about it. So, I will take Fu Niu'er with me to Peng's house tomorrow."

Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Okay, Auntie, I understand."

The Li family may not be a scholarly family, but they are also a newly wealthy family. It is not an injustice for a grandson of the Li family to marry a daughter of the Peng family!

Soon, Mr. Wen entered the academy and came out after a while.

Mr. Peng heard that the Li family was going to visit, and his original words were, “The whole family is waiting for you!”

Mr. Wen was relieved and hurried back to Kyoto.

With the Li family on one side and his friends on the other, he was caught in the middle. He had done everything he could, and the rest was between the Li family and the Peng family.

 Mrs. Li and Li Laosan had a tacit understanding and did not tell Jia Huan about Fu Niu'er's title of princess.

Jia Huan worked silently all afternoon.

At one moment, I was afraid that my grandma would come to the Peng family and make things difficult for me. At the next, I was worried that my beloved girl would be punished. I was even worried that the Peng family would not agree with this marriage.

The half-grown boy is really suffering...
