MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 62: Jackal Staring (recommended votes will be added)

That's why Shang Liu Niang went straight to the point and came to see her second sister-in-law, but her third sister-in-law was also there, so she still had to be polite.

After hearing what Shang Liu Niang said, Sanlang's wife showed disapproval.

 Queen Zhou got married for the third time. That was because her natal family had enough ability and she could support herself.

 But the temperament of the fourth mother in the family has always been weak and can be bullied.

 Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been bullied like that in my previous husband’s house.

 After finally escaping, he seems to be even more timid than before.

Now we are rushing to send her to show her face, not to mention whether those princes who have seen the world will like her, it is not known whether she is willing to walk out of the house.

 But when she wanted to say a few more words, she found that her second sister-in-law's eyes already showed some interest.

 At this point, she also understood.

 It is useless to say more.

The second sister-in-law is not a person who follows rules. Money is very tight now, so she naturally wants to find some way to make some money for the family.

If you can climb up to the ranks of princes and nobles in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be beneficial to let them all follow suit and gain face?

Wouldn't she be happy if she could also get rid of a sister-in-law who was just doing nothing?

 Therefore, no matter how regretful Sanlang's wife was, she also knew that there was nothing she could do about it.

 But she didn’t want to sit here and listen to the two of them pushing Si Niang into the fire pit, so she made an excuse and said.

"It's been a while since I came out. Sister Qing also told me that she wanted to decide on a pattern, so I'll go back first. The second sister-in-law and the sixth sister can talk slowly. Let's get together another day."

 They both knew what she meant.

Since you don’t want to wade into this “muddy water”, it’s better to leave earlier.

There is no need to listen to the sidelines and disagree with each other. Shang Liuniang is tired and has to take care of her face to explain and enlighten. It is troublesome.

 So Shang Liu Niang smiled a little more sincerely and said.

"I happened to have brought back a few pieces of good material. My third sister-in-law took two pieces back to make clothes for the children. They are all the styles that the ladies and gentlemen in Sui'an City like now. They are very beautiful."

“In this case, I would like to thank Sixth Sister for taking care of me on behalf of the children.”

“Sister-in-law, are you too polite?”

 After saying this, Sanlang's wife got up and left.

 In the past, the second man’s wife might have left a few words.

 But now, all her thoughts are on what Shang Liu Niang just said, and naturally she has no time to care about anything else.

He moved to Shang Liuniang's side with great interest and asked.

“The third younger sister is not a householder and doesn’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Hey, the sixth younger sister can just talk to me if she can. After all, it is the fourth younger sister’s life-long matter, so we must discuss it carefully.”

Although the words were about discussion, the meaning was already very obvious. I wanted to put the red hijab on and send the person out immediately.

It’s just that she has to listen to Shang Liu Niang’s words as to where to send it.

Seeing this, Shang Liu Niang smiled happily and said to her second sister-in-law.

“The second sister-in-law is still kind-hearted and cares about the future of the fourth sister. As a sister, I will not really send my sister to die just to climb Gaozhi, so don’t worry.”

 What she talked about did not mention specific people.

Hearing this, Erlang’s wife was even more scratching her head.

"Good girl, tell me quickly, who are you looking for? Is it a prince? Or something..."

Shang Liu Niang saw that her appetite was almost gone, so she spoke slowly.

"Second sister-in-law, do you still remember that your majesty has a younger uncle who just celebrated his sixtieth birthday a few days ago?" "You mean King Min?"

“Yes, that’s the old prince.”

"But at his age...he is almost catching up with his grandfather and the others, isn't it appropriate?"

Erlang’s wife wanted to get rid of her idle sister-in-law, but she wasn’t really that evil-hearted.

Although Mrs. Shang acted wildly at the time, King Fu was only in his early thirties, which was in his prime.

Now this King of Min, not to mention whether he can make Shang Siniang happy for the rest of her life, will probably become a widow within a few days of her marriage.

So Erlang’s wife shook her head and said evasively.

“No, no, if Mrs. Wei next door knows this, she won’t laugh out loud.”

Mrs. Wei's lineage, which they ridiculed in the past, will now be ridiculed in the same way, and maybe it will be even worse.

Erlang’s wife is also a person who wants to save face, so she is unwilling to agree to this matter.

Seeing this, Shang Liuniang was not in a hurry, and her attitude was calm, as if she knew that this matter would definitely come true.

 She picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"Second sister-in-law, don't think that King Min won't love others as he is old. I have inquired carefully. Princess Min is old and has lost her beauty. She is no longer favored in the back house. But after so many years, she has the authority to control her. There are a lot of the same thing, and the news she released is that she is looking for a beautiful and well-behaved concubine for King Min."

"With her protection, what can the fourth sister suffer? All she needs to do is serve and win over King Min. As for the endless glory and wealth, it is said that if that girl really enters the palace of King Min , the bride price can be as much as ten thousand taels."

Ten thousand taels of silver, for such a poor Sanfang, it was like pie in the sky.

 But this noble concubine is not very powerful in terms of status.

 In the final analysis, you still have to rely on others.

Erlang’s wife didn’t know much about the affairs of Prince Min’s Mansion.

But the conditions offered were indeed very generous, so she had no choice but to be moved.

 Shang Liu Niang looked at the silence of her second sister-in-law, but she was not worried at all.

 If you want the fish to take the bait, you have to give her some time.

When she bites the bait and refuses to let go, that's when she pulls back.

 So, now she has enough patience to wait.

As expected, as soon as her tea cup reached the bottom, the Erlang's wife spoke.

 There was a look in his eyes that said everything was in danger, so he hurriedly asked.

"You allow me to inquire about this matter carefully. If it is like what the sixth sister said, then it would be a good thing for the fourth sister to go."

"That's right, that's right, even though she is just a concubine now, she is only one step away from becoming a side concubine or even the main concubine. If the method is more clever and the prince and princess are taken away, the huge power will fall on the fourth sister. Really? By then, wouldn’t it be possible to reach the sky in one step?”

 When Shang Liu Niang said this, she was obviously trying to trick people.

Even if the prince and the princess are gone, the prince and the prince are still in charge of the palace. Is it the turn of a noble concubine to take charge?

 But Erlang’s wife is now only thinking about the bride price of 10,000 taels of silver, so she will not notice this.

 Smile and nod.

 “That’s what the fourth sister said.”

"Now many people in Sui'an City know about this news, and there are quite a few who plan to send Huanghua's daughter there. If my husband's family had not had some contact with the prince's house, this matter might not be able to make me happy. Find out."
