Chapter 149 Lantern Festival, Beitang Yi's Sweetheart (1)

Ling Yuyao choked and stared at her in disbelief:

"Sister-in-law, who are you speaking for? She's a prostitute!"

By elevating her to a concubine, wouldn't she be devaluing herself and slapping herself in the face? Not to mention that the Sang family still had official status, even if it was an ordinary family, who would be willing to bring a prostitute into the house?

Not enough to be stabbed in the spine~

It’s bad enough that Sang Shu was under some kind of spell, but why did she say such things?

Ling Yuyao was already full of anger, and looking at Jiang at this moment, her angry eyes were almost shooting arrows. She couldn't help but wonder if Jiang's words were deliberately meant to insinuate herself.

After all, such a scandal had happened to her before, and just because some people don't say anything doesn't mean they don't have any thoughts in their mind.

Turning her head to look at Jiang, the old lady also frowned in displeasure:

Did she take the wrong medicine?

How to rub salt into the wound and turn your elbow outward?

"Jiang——"

The old lady was about to scold her, but Jiang spoke first:

"I know mother must mean the same thing. Little sister, it's not that sister-in-law won't help you, but the overall situation is more important. Didn't your eldest brother handle this matter in the same way when it broke out?"

puff~

Mu Lianzhi almost laughed out loud with her eyebrows curved. She clapped her hands in her heart, but she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief:

how exciting.

It seems that Jiang is not without complaints about Sang Xi's matter.

Sure enough, I felt the pain when the board fell on me.

The old lady's face turned pale and blue, and Ling Yuyao's face twisted in anger:

"Can this be the same?"

How could she not know Sang Xi's identity if others didn't know?

How can this be compared?

Ling Yuyao wanted to argue with her, but Mu Lianzhi was sitting right in front of her. She couldn't say anything when she had so much to say. In the end, she just said:

"My elder brother doesn't like her. Sister-in-law, you are also a mother. Today, if Fei'er's husband wants to marry a concubine, let alone a prostitute, even if it is a lady from a wealthy family, would you be happy?"

Originally, Jiang's dissatisfaction with the two was mainly because of Ling Fei'er's marriage. When she heard that Ling Yuyao had brought up Ling Fei'er again, Jiang's face immediately darkened:

"Just talk about the matter, why are you bringing up Fei'er? It's New Year's Day, and Fei'er just got married. As a young lady, why don't you say something auspicious and avoid being too cautious? What good man would be interested in such a lowly, worthless woman?"

"Who are you scolding?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the old lady slammed the table in anger:

"Okay, just say a few words."

At this moment, a maid's voice came from outside the door:

"Madam, the eldest lady is here to pay her respects to you."

Soon, Ling Feier came in with her maid carrying a few gift boxes. Unfortunately, she also came alone.

Ling Feier was wearing red, a red skirt with an orange coat. But no matter how much red there was, she didn't look festive at all. Instead, she looked visibly thinner. The winter clothes on her were so heavy that they seemed to weigh her down. Her forced smile was written all over her face.

"Happy New Year to grandma, may she live a long and healthy life."

Ling Feier greeted everyone one by one, and Mu Lianzhi also symbolically gave her a red envelope. When it came to Ling Yuyao, she asked indifferently:

"Why is the bride alone? Your husband isn't with you?"

As soon as Ling Feier received the red envelope, she was already filled with bitterness before she could even say the word "thank you":

"He has to meet an important friend today, so he might not be here until very late..."

Then, accompanied by a faint "snort", the same scene was repeated:

"On the annual 'Wedding Son-in-Law Day', the new son-in-law didn't come to visit in the first year. What does this mean? What kind of friend is so important? Could it be a woman?"

"..."

Ling Feier pulled the corners of her lips, but didn't say a word for a long time. Her slow reaction made her look more real. Ling Yuyao was delighted, but Jiang on the other side couldn't hold her temper:

"Even if the prince has someone outside, it definitely won't be one of those dirty people out there."

Standing up, Jiang pulled Ling Feier to sit beside her:

"Besides, things have their priorities. You know what? Even if the prince is really out for social events, he still has the responsibility to help us out. It's also for Fei'er."

After glaring at Ling Yuyao, Jiang patted her daughter's hand:

"Don't listen to people's instigation and nonsense. How can it be the same?"

Not to mention that Bao Yanqing is not Sang Shu, the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion will not allow such a thing to happen. Even Ling Yuyao is morally deficient now, how can she be compared with Fei'er?

If some things were not difficult to say directly, she really wanted to retort directly.

But everyone could understand the hint in her eyes, and Ling Yuyao didn't tolerate it, and immediately sneered:

"If you don't care, then don't care. What's the point of deceiving yourself and flattering yourself? It would be great if it were really different. Otherwise, I will be worried about my sister-in-law for not considering the overall situation."

"you--"

The last farce ended with the old lady getting angry and everyone leaving unhappily. When walking out of Fudeyuan, Mu Lianzhi had only one feeling: she felt sorry for the original owner and sad for herself.

How did she have the bad luck to fall into such a pit?

……

The days when no one is planning to disturb you always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Lantern Festival.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard. The Marquis' Mansion also hung up lanterns of various colors, which showed the importance of this festival. Knowing that there would be a night market and lantern festival in the evening, Mu Lianzhi gave everyone in the courtyard a day off early.

Beitang Yi was not idle during this holiday. Once he was busy, Mu Lianzhi's interest was greatly reduced. Compared with the night market activities, she felt more lonely and homesick during this year-end.

In this era, apart from a lover Beitang Yi, whom she shouldn't have much expectation for, and a few maids, she didn't have any relatives or good friends.

She didn't know the future of Leng Yun and Leng Yu. Chunmiao and Xia Xiu were about the same age as her, but they were actually past the marriageable age.

In their previous lives, both of them had a bad ending. In this life, she didn't want to confine them for the rest of their lives. If they found the right partner, she still hoped that they could find their own happiness.

As night fell, Mu Lianzhi sent the maid out without any explanation and closed the door early.

The first full moon of the new year is very full and bright.

After admiring the bright moon in front of the bed for a while, she took a lantern and went to the next door, not for any other reason, but because she felt freer in the yard next door.

When Beitang Yi came back, he saw her sitting alone on the steps in front of the door, hugging her knees, with a teacup and snacks on one side. She looked up at the sky, her figure looking vague and lonely.

He walked around her with a few big steps, lifted his robe, and sat down next to her:

"The annual Lantern Festival is the busiest time of the year in Yanjing. Why don't you go out for a walk?"
