Chapter 408: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (10)
Shen Yu took the letter and leaned on Lu Yingxing's shoulder, thinking silently. He naturally read the content of the letter. After a long time, he suddenly spoke, "Looking at the time of this reply, it should be before the 'Five Cities Banquet', which means that there has been no reply since then... Could she be related to Lu Feiyan?
Shen Yu paused. If he hadn't mentioned this person, he would have forgotten about her. He couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Isn't she the daughter of Concubine Yun? She's not a noble lady from Luo City... So what happened to her? If I remember correctly, Lu Feifeng said he wanted to marry her off far away, right?"
Lu Yingxing frowned and said, he really didn't know, it was his negligence, this woman once wanted to hurt the lady!
Mrs. Tan looked at the two of them hesitantly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "This... I do know a little bit."
Seeing that both of them were looking over, Madam Tan glanced at Tan Fuyao over there, "The incident in Zhuocheng last time was still reported back, and Lu Feiyan's reputation is not very good anymore. It was Tan Fuyao who gave the concubine advice and let her marry into the Fu family..."
"Fu family?" Shen Yu suddenly asked, "Could it be the Fu family of Fu Yunxiu?"
Lu Yingxing smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "Besides this Fu family, is there any other Fu family that can catch the eyes of the Yun family?"
Mrs. Tan couldn't help but sigh. If her daughter had put her smartness into the right place, she would have discovered that the Yun family was just using her. It was true that they valued her now, but it was a pity that her last name was Tan, just like Lu Feiyan's last name was Lu.
She spoke in a somewhat gloomy voice, and said with a wry smile, "The Yun family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are more obsessed with their surname than any other family. Unless they can change their surname to their mother's, they will still be outsiders in the eyes of the core members of the Yun family. When the day comes when they are no longer useful, they will only die a more miserable death..."
Tan Daixue paused while flipping through the account book and asked curiously, "How do you want to use your value? Marriage?"
Mrs. Tan smiled and shook her head, "It's not an ordinary marriage..."
Seeing that Tan Fuyao also turned her head to look over, although she still couldn't get over her son's death, Mrs. Tan still looked at her with a little pity and said, "Let me give you an example. Lu Feiyan's marriage to the Fu family seemed glorious, but in fact it was a disguised form of abandonment. The Yun family would arrange the marriage of their daughters who they really valued in advance, and they can still keep her firmly in their hands after marriage..."
As if she had thought of something, she looked at everyone in the room with relief and told them how she was bewitched and married to Zhuocheng, and how after marriage her parents threatened her with the lives of their children.
Finally, she concluded, "The Yun family has only one set of standards. They believe that women are easier to control and will take care of their families' development. Men will always have unlimited ambitions after they grow up, so those who hold power in the Yun family are generally women... This gives others an illusion that any descendant of the Yun family, as long as they are women, will be more valued..."
Seeing Tan Fuyao's pale face, she shook her head with amusement and continued, "I'm afraid you all think that Yao'er is the Yun family's chief contact in Zhuo City, so she is very valued by the Yun family? Do you think that letting Yao'er marry into Zhuo Wangfu is the Yun family's plan? In fact, it's not... The Yun family did make suggestions behind this matter, but even if it succeeds, she is just making wedding clothes for others..."
Tan Daixue's eyes moved quickly. Seeing Tan Fuyao's face full of disbelief and a bit of panic in her pale face, she deliberately asked more carefully, fearing that she didn't hear clearly, "Ah? Mother means that even if... my eldest sister married into Prince Zhuo's Mansion, the Yun family would still marry another daughter into Prince Zhuo's Mansion?" She almost included herself in the equation. Fortunately, she was not stupid.
Although Lu Yingxing remained silent, the air pressure in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Shen Yu quickly reached out and hugged the person, "Okay, okay, there's nothing to be angry about. They definitely can't get into the palace!" She still wanted to continue listening to gossip, so how could she let this guy mess things up!
A muffled voice came from above, "...They want to harm A Yu. They are coveting the position of Princess Zhuo."
Shen Yu nodded to show that he understood. He lowered his eyes to think for a while, then raised his head and suggested, "How about you issue a statement tomorrow, saying that as long as you are here, the position of Princess Zhuo can only be mine? No one else can covet it?"
Lu Yingxing looked at her deeply and said, "Okay!" That was how it was, but it wouldn't be bad to warn them again.
After calming down the big dog, Shen Yu signaled Mrs. Tan to continue with his eyes.
Seeing that they didn't blame her, Mrs. Tan simply said more bluntly, "Let me put it this way. It's actually very easy to tell whether this daughter is really favored by the Yun family. Just look at the degree of freedom she can control before and after her marriage."
"Any woman that a family takes a fancy to will never escape their clutches in this life... Just like me, my marriage was controlled, and I was still threatened after marriage. The man I almost married was my weak spot, and the children I gave birth to were also their bargaining chips to threaten me... If the current lady was not my former personal maid, and she also knew the way of the Yun family, and it was she who told me to prepare to leave Linyue Country, otherwise I would not dare to resist..."
"And my so-called resistance is nothing more than giving myself a slow-acting drug..." Mrs. Tan laughed at herself.
Shen Yu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. This family is indeed full of ruthless people! !
Tan Daixue didn't dare to speak. Fortunately, her last name was Tan! Fortunately, she had envied Tan Fuyao in the past!
Shen Yu rubbed his brows and asked, "Do you want the master to help you detoxify?" After all, Tan Zhao went to find evidence. He couldn't let his mother really poison him to death! !
Tan Daixue also looked solemn, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Mother, don't be so stupid!" This stepmother usually doesn't pay much attention to them, but just now she has been following her without stopping her. Haven't other concubines been locked up? It seems that after being imprisoned together, the mother still treats her a little differently, right?
Mrs. Tan shook her head, "Don't worry, this medicine only makes me look sick. Although it is harmful, it is limited..." She looked at Tan Fuyao who looked unwilling and sighed, "Yao'er, I once told you to live your own life and not get too involved with the Yun family. But you can't do it. Do you still have illusions after knowing my past?"
Seeing the deep contempt on her face, Mrs. Tan knew that her daughter was truly hopeless.
She put away her last bit of pity and sneered, "Anyone who is favored by the Tan family must have a handle in their hands, and they will not directly deal with it in public! Don't you understand? Although it is true that I was the one who coordinated the Yun family's contacts in Zhuocheng before you, but do you know that I never have to meet those managers in person? Do you think the Yun family wants servants to keep their mouths shut? No, what they want is to lay out a network in the dark, so the real person in charge never comes out easily! Instead of jumping up and down like a clown like you, and still being complacent! ”
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Your last name is Yun, but you live like a loser! Your last name should be Tan. You are a loser like my father!!"
