Chapter 542 Conspiracy
Liao Jingtang went there, but when he saw Mrs. Liao lying on the hot kang with a rosy face and a full complexion, she didn't look like a sick person at all. He looked at the grandmother he had always admired and felt bitter in his heart.
Especially when Mrs. Liao kept saying that Zeng Jing served her smoothly and well, and she wanted the sick Zeng Jing to serve her, he felt even more disappointed for his grandmother.
The doctor said that Zeng Jing's body and bones were already very weak and she could no longer work too hard. If she continued to work hard, she would be afraid that her roots would be damaged, and it would be difficult to have children in the future.
According to the doctor, he didn't believe that his grandmother didn't know.
But her grandmother knew it, but she didn't pity Zeng Jing at all. She even wanted Zeng Jing to take her sick body to serve her.
Such a grandmother was so terrifying that it made him feel very chilled?
Zeng Jing, that was his legitimate wife, the one who was going to live with him for the rest of his life. Shouldn't his grandmother take pity on her and let her take good care of her body so that she could give him a better life as soon as possible?
But his grandmother, who always loved him clearly, was so harsh on his wife that she even ignored his children.
When did his grandmother become so unreasonable, so harsh, and so hateful towards her granddaughter-in-law, who was the next generation?
Yes, it is hate.
From his grandmother's eyes, he saw her hatred for Zeng Jing and her dislike of Zeng Jing.
Why?
Zeng Jing is so virtuous and kind...
... His grandmother's behavior really made him embarrassed to face his wife.
Liao Jingtang was heartbroken. He stood up and said with an extremely cold voice, "Jing'er is weak. I'm afraid she won't be able to come over to serve her in a short time. Grandma is an elder, and younger generations should also serve their grandmother. But in order to serve her, Jing'er, She is already tired and sick, and I believe my grandma will not be so cruel as to let Jing'er delay her illness to serve her grandma. In that case, grandma will have to bear the crime of trying to torture the next generation's granddaughter-in-law, and grandma won't want to, right?"
"Fortunately, there is more than just Jing'er in my grandmother's name. My grandmother has four daughters-in-law, an eldest grandson's wife, and five or six unmarried granddaughters. With them serving my grandmother, I believe my grandmother's illness will get better faster." .”
"The grandson also hopes that his grandmother's illness will get better soon, and the grandson said goodbye."
After saying that, Liao Jingtang left.
After returning, he became more gentle, more attentive, and more considerate towards Zeng Jing... He always felt that he owed his wife a lot, and always wanted to pay her back everything he owed her, so that she could be happier. Be a little happier.
……
Chu Lin came back and reported to Xia Zihan what she had observed from the Liao family.
Chu Lin smacked her lips and said, "Master, do you think Mrs. Liao is possessed by something? Why does she seem to be a different person? She was not like this before."
Xia Zihan also wanted to know what would happen if Mrs. Liao changed.
She thought for a while and then told Chu Lin, "You continue to monitor her. I think she will always reveal something."
"Well, Master, I'll take a few more people with me. The Liao family doesn't have many guards and the defense is not strict, so we can just let them go for a walk." Chu Lin said with a smile.
After being scolded by her grandson, Mrs. Liao became so angry that she became really ill.
Master Liao called Liao Jingtang, scolded him severely, and forced Liao Jingtang to apologize to Mrs. Liao.
Madam Liao did not see Liao Jingtang, but Liao Jingtang knelt in front of her house for three hours. Finally, Madam felt sorry for her son and went to Madam Liao to cry and beg for mercy. Madam Liao then relaxed and let Liao Jingtang go back. , however, Zeng Jing was asked to serve him.
He said that if Zeng Jing did not go away, her illness would not be cured.
When Liao Jingtang heard this, he was so heartbroken that he would not get up from his knees. He would rather endure hardship than to let his weak and sick wife have to suffer from his grandmother again.
Mrs. Liao fell down in anger and scolded them both for being unfilial.
Liao Jingtang didn't refute or say a word. He knelt straight and unshakable. He knelt until dark and didn't get up.
The eldest lady felt sorry for her son. She was worried that her son would get cold if he knelt outside the house, and she was also worried that her son's knees would become diseased. She became anxious and knelt down in front of Mrs. Liao's bed and cried, "Mom, my cousin is... Your most beloved grandson, please have pity on him. If he kneels like this, his knees will be destroyed.”
"He deserves it. He actually disobeyed me for a woman, actually for her..."
Mrs. Liao's chest rose and fell angrily, as if something would jump out of her chest. She beat her chest with tears in her eyes, "I have lived for decades, and I have never been reprimanded like this. I'm old." I am old but rejected by my grandson, what is the point of still living..."
"Isn't he displeased with me? Isn't he unwilling to let his wife come to me to fulfill her filial piety? Well, let him kneel down... Let's see how long he can kneel down."
Finally, Mrs. Liao gritted her teeth and said.
The eldest lady panicked and ran out, grabbing Liao Jingtang's arm, "Cousin, get up quickly and go to your grandmother to admit your mistake. Call Jing'er to serve your grandmother. Your grandmother's anger will be gone. Brother, just listen to my advice and don't hold back with your grandmother. "Mother, a child is unfilial and cannot listen to his mother's advice." Liao Jingtang knelt motionless.
The eldest lady couldn't hold him back, so she cried anxiously. She knelt on the ground and cried, "What is this? How come it's like this..."
When Mr. Liao heard the news and rushed over, he asked his mother-in-law to help the eldest lady up. Then, after taking a look at Liao Jingtang, who had a cold and stubborn expression, he went into the house.
Mr. Liao advised the old lady, "Mom, it's not that my cousin doesn't want his wife to serve you. That child, isn't she sick? You also listened to the doctor's words. Why... just in case my cousin's daughter-in-law is not allowed to come to serve you in the future?" If the heir is really in trouble, you can just watch your cousin feel empty?”
Mr. Liao didn't notice that his mother suddenly changed. It's just that everything his mother did was for the sake of the family and his future, so he just turned a blind eye and treated everything as nothing. have no idea.
His mother wanted to use Liao Fangyi to climb a big tree for him so that he could enjoy the shade. He could also understand that it was the same in almost every aristocratic family. The girls in the family were all pawns, a pawn in order to strengthen and stabilize the family's interests.
The reason why Liao Jingtang married Zeng Jing was that his mother wanted to build a closer relationship between the Chu family and the Chu family through marriage.
On the Chu family's side, there is the Second Prince's Mansion and the Duke Anguo's Mansion. These two families are famous people in front of the emperor, and they are two big trees that the Liao family urgently needs to climb.
Originally, with the friendship between Liao Fangyi and Princess Qinghui of Princess Chuyu, the Liao family no longer needed to sacrifice Liao Jingtang's marriage to get closer to each other, but his mother said that Liao Fangyi was a girl and would get married sooner or later. , when she gets married, the relationship between the Liao family and the Chu family will disappear with her.
Therefore, the Liao family wanted Liao Jingtang to marry Zeng Jing, and to establish a kinship relationship with the Chu family, the Second Prince's Palace, and the Anguo Duke's Palace in a roundabout way.
Originally, Zeng Jing was the link in this relationship, and his mother should treat her well, but...against all odds, I never expected that Liao Fangyi would marry Zeng Yiran.
With Liao Fangyi and Zeng Yiran as a more stable link, all the calculations about the marriage between Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing came to nothing in an instant, which was a waste of Liao Jingtang's good chess piece that could climb another high branch.
Yes, it's a chess piece.
In aristocratic families, the marriage of a child is a transaction.
Every transaction is based on how much profit there is and how much benefit it can bring to the family.
The marriage between Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing has now become a thorn in Mrs. Liao's eyes. It is a thorn in the flesh and a poison in the abdomen. It is an extra button that should be pulled out and a new one stronger and stronger for Liao Jingtang. Buttons, this is better for Liao Jingtang and can win more benefits for the family.
But doing so would be equivalent to sacrificing Zeng Jing.
Although the eldest son of the Liao family disagreed with his mother's selfish approach, when he thought that his mother did everything for this family and his future, he remained helpless and silent.
But no one expected that Liao Jingtang would go so far as to publicly disobey the old lady and fight against the old lady for a woman.
When things have developed to this point, they cannot continue to develop. If they continue to develop, once the matter is exposed, it will be a scandal for the Liao family.
The grandmother teased the daughter-in-law of the next generation, causing her to become weak and faint from hunger. No one in the Liao family could afford to be embarrassed by such a thing.
Mrs. Liao snorted coldly and said with a straight face, "If she doesn't give birth to an egg, just in time, let her give up her position and let another woman give birth to a son for my cousin."
Mr. Liao's face turned a little dark, and he lowered his voice and said, "Whose family is better than ours, who would be willing to give their daughter to our cousin as a stepmother, mother, you..."
"The legitimate daughter will naturally be reluctant to part with her. The concubine is not as good as the concubine." Madam Liao interrupted him with a sullen face.
She is not worried at all that her grandson will not be able to marry his granddaughter-in-law.
Based on Liao Jingtang's character and talent, as long as she said something, many concubines from noble families would flock to please her.
Mr. Liao's face darkened, "How can you marry a concubine? How can you marry a virtuous daughter-in-law? Which family's concubine has been properly taught? What if..."
Marrying a concubine with bad conduct would harm Liao Jingtang for the rest of his life, wouldn't it?
Not only will he be harmed for the rest of his life, but if he marries the wrong wife, he will be harmed at least for three generations. Then Liao Jingtang's entire family will be wiped out.
By then, it won’t be worth the loss.
It would be better to just keep Zeng Jing as my daughter-in-law.
"Besides, if something happens to my cousin and daughter-in-law at home, Mrs. Chu will not let it go. When the time comes, this marriage will..."
"What are you worried about? With Sister Fang here, the Chu family won't have much of a problem." What she ranked was the good relationship between Liao Fangyi and Princess Qinghui, the princess of Princess Chuyu.
Thirty thousand words will be updated today, half in the morning and half in the evening...
