Chapter 1085: The consequences of seeking death
Mrs. Chen's face turned dark with anger, and she couldn't help but curse, "This Li family is really bullying people!
It’s just Princess Kangle who is so unruly and vicious, why is her sister-in-law so ignorant of right and wrong?
"No, we can't let this matter go. I'll talk to your father tonight and ask him to ask the Li family if he wants to enmity with our Chen family!"
"Last time at the summer banquet, I thought you were not good at studying, so I was willing to admit defeat. But this time, we just met in a shop, why would I still bully you? Does she think that our Chen family are ordinary people? Let her make a fool of herself. Flatten it!”
Miss Chen pulled her handkerchief to wipe her tears and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Mom, you don't know that this **** girl from the Li family is very good at flattering me. What if she speaks ill of me in front of the Third Princess or His Royal Highness? Huh? Will I be kicked off?”
"Hmph!" Mrs. Chen's eyes became even more stern and she scolded, "There is no one with the surname Li in this world! How can she just say what she says? You go to choose a concubine, it is related to the future of the family. When your father comes back, he will definitely think Method!
"Your father is a minister! He has not been bullied by a mud-legged person!"
Ms. Chen and her little cousin looked at each other with excited expressions.
As long as the family is willing to take action, not to mention the little Princess Kangle, even the Li family will be destroyed!
At this moment, the entrance to the courtyard suddenly became lively.
When everyone looked outside, they saw Shilang Chen, dressed in official uniform, striding in with his brows furrowed and beads of sweat on his forehead.
“Oh, sir, why are you back so early today?” Mrs. Chen hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Ms. Chen also shouted coquettishly, "Dad, you are back. I was bullied today..."
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Chen Shilang's slap had already been thrown down.
“Crack! Pah!”
Ms. Chen Shilang fired his bow from left to right and slapped Ms. Chen back and forth twice. She fell to the ground and was so confused that she didn't know what night it was.
Mrs. Chen was startled and screamed, "Master, why are you beating your daughter? We are about to choose a concubine. How can my daughter see anyone if her face is hurt!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward and helped her daughter up with great effort.
As a result, Chen Shilang went crazy. Seeing his wife protecting his daughter so much, he actually raised his foot and hit his wife on the back hard.
Mrs. Chen was in pain and fell together with her daughter. She was so frightened and angry that she almost forgot to speak.
After more than 20 years of marriage, this was the first time she was beaten!
“Chen Zhimin, you are crazy! Are you going to kill your wife and daughter and marry someone else? Don’t forget, my natal family is not a small family!”
Mrs. Chen struggled and was about to pounce on Mr. Chen.
A woman’s natural skill, the Nine-yin White Bone Claw, must be used on Chen Shilang’s hands and face.
Shilang Chen slightly regretted that he should not have beaten his wife as well.
But he was really angry!
"Okay, stop making trouble! Don't even look at what trouble your good daughter got into!"
He pulled away the mad Mrs. Chen, then lifted up her official uniform and sat down, breathing hot air from her nose.
Ms. Chen had already gotten up. Seeing her father like this again made her legs weak from fear.
She hid behind Mrs. Chen, feeling guilty and not daring to say a word.
Mrs. Chen looked up and saw that all the maids and women in the room were gone. No one saw her being beaten, so she straightened her hair and sat down while holding back her anger.
“Today I want to hear, why did you go crazy when you came in? If you don’t tell me, I will never give up!”
Chen Shilang snorted, "I was busy at the Yamen just now, and Manager Yi suddenly came to deliver a message. The Emperor personally ordered that your good daughter be removed from the list of concubines!" Mrs. Chen was shocked and anxious, and Miss Chen even started to cry. .
"What's going on? You are the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Are your legitimate daughters not eligible to participate in the selection of the concubine?" Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth with hatred, "Is the crown princess pre-determined?"
Mr. Chen glanced at the culprit's daughter and said angrily, "I begged Mr. Yi for a long time, and he just said a few words.
“She was a good daughter raised by you, and she made such nonsense in the jewelry store, saying that she would become a crown princess in the palace, and that she wanted the third princess and the princess to kowtow to her all day long, in order to avenge the slap she received for her poem!
“As a result, not only was Princess Kangle exposed on the spot, but it even reached the ears of the emperor and the prince. The emperor Long Yan was furious and directly erased her qualifications to participate in the election!”
"Ugh, I didn't say it, I didn't say it!" Miss Chen stamped her feet and cried, feeling extremely aggrieved, "I just scolded Princess Kangle, I didn't scold the third princess, I... I just said it casually to vent my anger. "
Shilang Chen really wanted to slap her twice more, but things were already like this and he was too lazy to get angry again.
“In this situation, it doesn’t matter whether you scold the third princess or not. What matters is that you can’t enter the palace to stand for election.”
“Master, master! My daughter is your only legitimate daughter, you can’t ignore it! Do you want to go to the palace and beg the emperor, or... or let’s ask the Li family to apologize!”
Mrs. Chen didn’t care that she had been beaten just now and quickly begged her husband to find a way.
Shilang Chen sighed inwardly and said coldly, "No need, the emperor didn't blame our family too much. In addition to disqualifying his daughter from participating in the election, he also asked our family to send another girl to participate in the election.
"I decided to let the legitimate daughter of my second brother's family enter the palace. The child has good looks. She has been proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. The most important thing is that she is stable and generous. After entering the palace, even if she does not add luster to the family, at least she will not bring any brilliance to the family. Trouble at home.”
“What?!” Mrs. Chen and her daughter almost shouted in unison, both shaking their heads wildly.
"No, no! Daddy!" Miss Chen ran over and hugged her father's thigh, "I am your biological daughter, and I want to enter the palace. Oh, oh, I can't send my cousin away!"
Mr. Chen was impatient to see them continue to make trouble, so he threw his daughter away and stood up, scolding, "If you hadn't been shameless in your words and deeds outside and brought shame to the family time and time again, you wouldn't have ended up like this.
From now on, follow your mama and learn the rules, and I will give you a good husband-in-law! "
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked out. Occasionally he saw a timid little girl hiding in the corner from the corner of his eye, so he shouted to a nun, "Send my cousin back, and she will not be allowed to come to the door again!"
Mammy quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and did not dare to get up until Chen Shilang left the yard.
Mrs. Chen and her daughter held their heads and cried together, their intestines turning green with regret.
On the contrary, my cousin’s eyes rolled for a long time, and when they were not paying attention, she took off a pair of gold bracelets from her wrists and stuffed them into her arms.
This is what her cousin lent her to wear when she was about to go out in the morning, fearing that she would be embarrassed.
She must stay and sell it when she returns home. It will be enough for her at least half a dowry.
She is not a legitimate daughter. She has never been cared for or loved by anyone. She can only make plans for herself...
After finally going out on the street, Jiayin accompanied her sister-in-law out of the white clouds, and went to Baiguoyuan and the hotpot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant changed to barbecue early, but the weather was hot and business was a bit bleak.
Fortunately, Pagoda Garden has continued as usual, and its business has even improved to a higher level.
After all, putting all kinds of fruits in cold water is a magical tool to relieve the heat.
Finally, Wan'er returned to the Earl's Mansion to deal with trivial matters, and Jiayin abducted her to Cyclamen.
