"Mom, didn't you say that uncle is here?"

Daohua smiled and entered the main courtyard to go to the upper room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Li packing things: "The quality of this coral is really good. Is it a gift from my uncle?"

Mrs. Li smiled and put down the things in her hands, and sat down on the collapse with Daohua: "Isn't it true? Every time your two uncles come to Beijing, they will give our family a lot of things. Mom asked them not to bring them, but

But they never listened."

Daohua smiled: "This is the wish of the two uncles. Just accept it and send something good back."

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "That's all we can do. By the way, do you have something to do with your uncle?"

Daohua shook her head: "There were so many people just now. I haven't even talked to my uncle yet, so I just wanted to come over and say hello."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "He was dragged away by your fourth brother. Your fourth brother is the father of four children. He is still making noises like he was when he was a child. He is not stable at all."

Daohua laughed: "Isn't this home? No matter how old you are, you will still be your parents' child."

Mrs. Li liked hearing this, and the smile on her face suddenly became more numerous, and she started talking to Daohua about her daily life.

"Our family, as well as the Li family, have been doing well over the years, and Mom is really happy. By the way, when your second uncle came to Beijing last time, you asked me to say thank you to you on his behalf."

"Huh?" Daohua looked confused: "What are you saying thank you for?"

Mrs. Li smiled: "The Fang family is very honest now."

Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately understood.

The year before last, Fang Liangji took his concubine to Xiliang to do business. Knowing that he allowed his concubine to act in the name of his wife, Fang Liangji was disqualified from doing business in Xiliang.

In addition, I also wrote a letter to my fourth brother Yan Wenkai, who was in the Navy in the South China Sea, telling him about this.

For the Fang family, Xiliang is just a new market after all. They haven’t started investing yet. Even if they don’t do business there, they won’t lose much.

However, the market in the south was managed with great difficulty by the Fang family, and it is also the main source of profit for the Fang family.

There are many waterways in the south, and a large part of the reason why the Fang family's business has been able to flourish is because of the protection of Yan Wenkai, a naval officer.

Yan Wenkai received Daohua's letter and knew that Fang Liangji was so ungrateful that he had taken advantage of the Li family, but he did not treat the Li family's daughter well and directly cut off the convenience for the Fang family.

There are many checkpoints on the waterway. Without convenience, the Fang family would have to pay several times more money to each checkpoint than before.

Mrs. Li continued: "Now that your cousin Zixuan's life is much more peaceful, the concubine surnamed Sun has been driven to Zhuangzi."

As he spoke, he sighed.

"Your two uncles are just afraid of troublesome us. Otherwise, if they had told us earlier that the Fang family was nothing like that, Zixuan would not have been angry for so many more years."

At this time, Pingtong came in with tea. After putting it down, she smiled and said: "Just now, I saw the Second Mistress at the gate of the courtyard. The Second Mistress heard that the Madam and the girl were talking, so she left."

"Second sister-in-law?" Daohua smiled, "Mom, when I came back this time, I saw that second sister-in-law seemed to be avoiding me on purpose. Is she blaming me?"

Mrs. Li shook her head: "Qiyun is a good person. She doesn't blame you, she is probably embarrassed. What Yile did in Xiliang, I still feel ashamed when I think about it now."

"Is it possible for a lady to do such shameless things like spying on my brother-in-law and murdering my niece?"

"Tell me, you sisters grew up together and studied literature and science with the Master. How come you have such a bad trait like Yile?"

Seeing that Mrs. Li was so angry, Daohua smiled and comforted her: "Mom, the matter is over. I didn't let Yan Yile get any favors, so don't be angry."

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Li curiously.

"Mom, I heard from Jingwan that Yile has remarried, but she said it in a vague way. Please tell me more specifically."

Seeing her daughter's gossipy face, Mrs. Li was a little amused. After laughing, she looked gloomy again: "Yile, I don't even want to talk about her. Not only is her eyes not working, but her brain is also wrong."

"Your new fourth brother-in-law is the second Fang Shuo. After all, Fang Shuo comes from a wealthy family, and he still has a sense of etiquette, justice and shame. Even if he intends to seduce Yile, the most he can do is meet in private."

At this point, Mrs. Li showed a hard-to-speak expression.

"Why is Yile's marriage so hasty? Why did your second uncle and second aunt, who always care about the good things in the big house, not say anything at all this time? That's because Yile and Zhang Wan were blocked in bed by your second uncle and the others.

”

Hearing this, Daohua was so shocked that her mouth opened.

She had always known that Yan Yile had always been selfish, willful and reckless in doing things, but she never expected that she would do such an outrageous thing.

After all, it was the niece who she had watched grow up, Mrs. Li's face still looked a little sad: "I lost my virginity and was blocked by others. In order to prevent the Yan family's reputation from being tarnished, your second uncle and second aunt can only

He married Yile in a hurry."

"The family background of the Zhang family is not a little worse than that of the Fang family, and Yile is so arrogant. I heard that there was always trouble before getting married. I really don't know what will happen to this child in the future?"

Daohua's expression didn't change. She had no sympathy for Yan Yile now. Even if Zhang Wan tried his best, Yan Yile had to give him a chance first. As an adult in his twenties,

If you make a mistake, you have to pay for it yourself.

Mrs. Li looked at Daohua: "During this period, your second brother and sister-in-law rarely come to our house. Yile and Fang's reconciliation had already made the family lose its reputation. Now that something like this happens again, the two of them will be even more worried."

I’m too embarrassed to see anyone.”

Daohua was silent: "I heard from Xiao Yeyang that the second brother did very well in the Hanlin Academy. As long as he can stand up, the second brother will not be too bad."

Mrs. Li nodded and stopped talking about the second room. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, mother and daughter went to the old lady's yard together.

On the other side, Zhu Qiyun was watching the maids setting dishes in the dining room of the old lady's courtyard, listening to the laughter coming from next door, looking a little lonely.

At the same time, the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family has no confidence to compete with the granddaughter-in-law of the first and third bedrooms.

She had no parents-in-law to rely on, and a sister-in-law who had brought shame on the family. Even though her family didn't say anything, she was still suffering in her heart.

Now the burden of the second wife is all on the shoulders of her husband. As a wife, she just wants to share more with her husband. Even if she feels uncomfortable amidst everyone's laughter, she still has to force a smile.

She understood very well that without the support of the big family and the third family, the husband would not be able to go very far if he only relied on himself.

The second brother-in-law is the best example.

Last year there was a severe drought in several northern provinces at the same time, and the Huaichuan Mansion governed by the second brother-in-law was also affected. Unlike when King Weiyuan protected him in Xiliang, the second brother-in-law faced many difficulties in the first year of his work alone.

It can be seen from the family letter written by the second sister that their life in Huaichuan Mansion was not easy.
