Chapter 424： behind the scenes

At first, Cheng Guogong’s original wife suspected that this woman could act well, in order to use her own virtuous and sensible to set off Cheng Guogong’s original wife.

But after getting along with each other for a long time, Cheng Guogong's original wife discovered that this woman is really a rare heartless person in the world.

Other women will only show their virtuousness in front of men, but secretly they will never be happy to give their husbands to others.

Even if they are concubines, even if they are restrained by rules and etiquette, they will never just accept their fate so obediently.

For a group of women guarding the same man, struggle is the main theme of their lives.

Unless it is the kind of woman who doesn't look down on her husband at all, wishing he could be as far away from her as possible, and has no heirs to drag her down, otherwise she won't believe that the other party can really become a Buddha.

However, this concubine of Cheng Guogong broke his inherent perception of his original wife as a wife. The other party has been by Cheng Guogong's side for more than ten years. Restrain the children, and they are not allowed to compete with their brothers and sisters.

The two men who murdered Jiang Wen, their cousin's husband, was the concubine's most beloved concubine son of the Duke of Cheng.

This concubine was taught by his mother to be respectful to his aunt, brothers and sisters, but his newlywed wife is unfortunately a restless one.

Before she married into Duke Cheng's mansion, she had heard that Duke Cheng loved her future husband-in-law the most. Before she got married, her natal family had brainwashed her and asked her to help her husband-in-law when she came in. Competing for the position of the son of the world.

However, when she married and entered the door full of fighting spirit, what greeted her was her mother-in-law and newlywed husband who were content with the status quo and couldn't help each other.

At first, she also thought that these two must be good at pretending and acting, but it didn't work for three months, and she found out that she was indeed married to the wrong person.

Her mother-in-law is very satisfied with her current status, and her husband has no intention of grabbing the position of the eldest brother. Although her father-in-law does favor the second son the most, the eldest son who is not favored does not care about his status. Or the first treatment is much higher than that of the second son.

The second young lady who felt that she married a fake favored concubine, her first reaction was that Cheng Guogong's mansion was a proper fraudulent marriage!

But she thought about it again, when their family agreed to marry their daughter, the Duke of Cheng had already established a son.

The fact that the concubine is favored and the title is expected is all secretly analyzed by her own natal parents, and Cheng Guogong's mansion has not hinted at them at all in this regard.

Using this as a reason to accuse Duke Cheng of fraudulent marriage, the people in the capital are probably going to laugh at them!

Taking a step back, the more you think about it, the more you get angry, and the more you think about it for a while, the more you suffer. In the end, the second young lady couldn't hold back, and found an excuse to go back to her mother's house.

She wanted her natal parents to help her come up with an idea, but she failed to implement any of the several ideas her natal parents gave her.

Trying side-by-sides to lure her, by being wronged and crying to sow discord, after pregnancy, she confidently asks her husband to consider the children, and intentionally creates troubles to make her husband feel the huge difference between a concubine and a concubine

She tried all these methods more than once.

However, her mother-in-law and newly-married husband are like the **** who have eaten the weight. A weak woman like her cannot shake her iron heart.

After many attempts but failed many times, the second young lady completely gave up on her husband and mother-in-law.

She gave up her husband and mother-in-law who couldn't help her at all, and turned to her natal family for help.

Her natal family can indeed pull, and they can even pull the second young lady towards the title without looking back.

But the problem is, after all, they are not from the Duke of Cheng's mansion. With the wife of the Duke of Cheng in charge, there is almost no room for them to make trouble in the Duke of Cheng's mansion.

Of course, this small difficulty cannot dispel their high fighting spirit.

In order to improve their own status and seek benefits for their own family, and at the same time help the second young lady to get help, her natal family made a crooked idea of ​​continuing to climb high.

And Jiang Wen is the Gao Zhier who was unfortunately selected by them.

The mother of the second young lady in Cheng Guogong's mansion also came from a family of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her uncle's cousin is now a small sesame official working in the Ministry of Rites.

This little sesame official once met Jiang Wen by chance. Jiang Wen was beautiful, well-educated, and her grandfather, uncle, and father were all high-ranking officials who were deeply trusted by Xie Yuan. She happened to be his ideal wife .

However, his only self-knowledge told him that even if Jiang Wen bowed her head to choose a son-in-law, it is impossible for her head to be directly below the ribs.

To put it more bluntly, with his background, talent, appearance, and official position, even if he stood on tiptoe, he still couldn't reach a real lady of Jiang Wen's level.

So what should he do so that the other party can see him, consider him, and be willing to marry him?

After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion—since he couldn't reach the opponent no matter how hard he tried, shouldn't it be enough for him to pull the opponent to the same level as him?

His original plan was that he find an opportunity to create a chance to have physical contact with Jiang Wen, so that the other party will choose to marry him with a high probability for his own reputation.

It would be best for him to use the banner of "saving people", so that even if the other party's elders want to blame him, they will have no position to speak up.

This person thinks well, but Jiang Wen is not close to any place where she might be tricked.

As the waterside of the accident-prone area, the junction of the front yard and the backyard of each mansion where it is easy to bump into male guests, and the rockery and pavilions that are a little far away from the banquet halls of each mansion and are easy to be designed by others, Jiang Wen never set foot in these places.

Even she would not drink the tea or soup brought to her by other maids at will, for fear that she would be drugged if she was not careful.

She is so cautious, if others want to plot her, the difficulty is simply S-level.

Countless calculations failed, and the news came out that the Jiang family was going to propose marriage to Jiang Wen. This person couldn't hold back immediately, and chose to take the risk before the Jiang family made an engagement with Jiang Wen.

He entrusted his cousin who married into Duke Cheng's mansion to help him, and then asked his cousin from his own uncle's family to be his assistant.

The Second Young Madam of Duke Cheng's Mansion also hopes that her cousin can marry Jiang Wen, because if there are more relatives like the Jiang family to help her, her plan to win the position of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion will undoubtedly proceed more smoothly.

Even if she didn't have a brother of the right age, she would have skipped her uncle's family and counted Jiang Wen directly into her natal family.

After all, cousins ​​are separated by a layer, and they are far less able to help her than brothers.
