Chapter 308 Affair
A crisp voice drifted into her ears, "That's what you just said about Madam Sun!"
The fat lady swallowed her saliva. She first looked at her husband's face and found that he didn't seem to refuse, nor did he seem to blame her. Then she looked at Jiang Mengrou for help, seeking her advice.
Seeing Jiang Mengrou nodding at her, she gritted her teeth and thought, "Never mind, just consider it as entertaining the nobles."
The other ladies who knew the inside story stamped their feet in anger. They knew it too! Why didn't the little princess ask them?
The husbands of the ladies, that is, the adults, all complained to their wives: "Aren't all the affairs of the inner house handed over to you? How come you can't even find out what's going on in other people's families?"
"On weekdays, he loves to gossip about other people, but when the time comes, he becomes like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, completely silent!"
"That's all right now, An Jiabao got there first!"
It turns out that An Jiabao is the husband of the fat lady. This couple is a typical example of "birds of a feather flock together". They are both plump and look very happy.
Although the Fat Lady was not ostracized by these noble ladies, it was still the first time that she was stared at by so many people...
She swallowed nervously and looked at her husband again for confirmation, "Then I'll tell you!"
After receiving a positive answer, she felt relieved and pointed at Madam Sun who was hiding behind Sun Guangzhi and cursed, "That bitch is not a girl from the Shi family at all, she is just a concubine who has risen to a higher position!"
She regretted it the moment she opened her mouth. She had actually used the word "bitch" in front of the little princess. Would the princess come after her later?
Fortunately, no one noticed this, and their focus was on the phrase "the concubine took the position".
"what?!"
"Concubine? No wonder I saw her behavior, it was just like a brothel."
"The former Madam Sun, oh no, that Madam Shi, was a lady from a noble family before she got married. After she got married, she was also an expert in managing household affairs."
"Is this Lord Sun possessed by a ghost?"
"I've seen the previous one. Although she's not as beautiful as the princess, she's still far from being comparable to this concubine. I wonder what Master Sun sees in her..."
Everyone present was a mistress of a household. When it came to the issue of concubines, everyone was surprisingly united. After all, every household had one or two mortal concubines, but as long as their husbands didn't forget the hierarchy, they could turn a blind eye and let it go.
"Zundu, fake du! When did that happen? How did you know about it, auntie?!" Mingyue asked curiously.
Although I don’t know why Mingyue, such a young girl, is so curious about these things, the Fat Lady is the type who will talk more excitedly the more someone tells her a joke.
"Hey, Xiao Shi and I used to be close friends, and we often visited each other after we got married. She married Lord Sun and became the wife of the county magistrate in Binshan County. As for me, I married in the county next to his! Naturally, I know those things!" The fat lady straightened her broad back proudly.
Zhizhi and Taotao considerately brought out the teapot and teacups from the carriage and kept refilling the Fat Lady's cup.
It turns out that Madam Shi and Lord Sun were once a loving couple. However, Madam Shi had never been able to conceive, and the two had argued many times over this. In the end, they adopted the child of an orphaned relative.
Since then, the two have lived in peace for more than ten years.
During this period, Mrs. Shi devoted herself to managing the household business and taking care of her adopted son; outside, she planned her husband's career.
But a month ago, Mrs. Shi accidentally discovered that her son, who was less than fifteen years old, often had secret meetings with the concubine in her thirties at home.
Thinking that this woman had seduced her son, she asked someone to investigate his whereabouts. To her surprise, she discovered that her son had met with her almost twenty days in the past month.
But every time, the actions between the two did not seem like those of lovers, but more like a loving mother and son in an ordinary family.
The servants came hurriedly to report that when the master was drinking with the two of them, the string that had been taut in Mrs. Shi's heart finally broke.
She had booked a private room next to the three-person room, so she could hear the conversation next door. Only then did she realize that everything was a scam.
Sun Guangzhi married her only for the benefit that her family could bring...
The concubine who often met with the adopted son was actually his first lover and the biological mother of the adopted son. And the adopted son was actually the biological son of her husband.
Listening to the noises of the three people next door, she realized that she was the real outsider. No wonder she had carefully raised her son for so many years, but he always treated her as an outsider.
No wonder that for many years, the husband who wanted to have a child with his own blood did not mention having children again after adopting a son.
No wonder the concubine always looked at me with a pitiful look from time to time.
So she proposed a divorce.
Sure enough, her son, who had never been nice to her in more than ten years, smiled sincerely at her for the first time.
It wasn't because she made soup for me late at night, it wasn't because she used all her connections to hire a tutor for me, it wasn't because she took care of me day and night...
Because of my ridiculous giving up my position...
She resolutely chose to leave, regardless of worldly views and the man's words, "Who will dare to marry you after you leave me?" She packed up her dowry, signed the divorce agreement, and left the Sun Mansion immediately.
Sun Guangzhi was forced to do so, fearing the Shi family's background, so he reluctantly let her take away the huge family fortune. Of course, it was his own family fortune. After all, in his eyes, his wife's dowry was also his.
After the divorce, he quickly promoted the current Mrs. Sun as his legal wife and put his adopted son back into the family tree.
He thought his good days had finally come. He no longer needed to be disciplined every day. He could wear whatever he wanted, spend as much money as he wanted, and go home whenever he wanted.
This went on for a happy month.
After hearing this, Mingyue only had one word in her mind: "Awesome!" She shouted, "This Madam Shi is truly a role model for us!"
Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts or shock, and didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Mingyue's words. Some even thought it made sense.
Sun Guangzhi: Oh, you don’t care whether I live or die? o_O
Madam Sun: Damn fat woman! You just spilled my past like that? ( ? ??皿??)??3??
Sun Youliang: Okay, if you breathe heavily again, everyone will think I'm having an affair with my mother!
