Chapter 51: Heartache
Li Duan returned to his courtyard and prepared to change his clothes and go to the study. When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw two aunts dressed as flowers and branches standing in front of their respective doors, and they rushed up as soon as they saw themselves. Li Duan frowned, why is his own woman such a vulgar fan, vulgar and unbearable. He sent two men into the main room. He and Jin Niang had already lived in separate rooms, and this was because he remembered that he hadn't seen Jin Niang for a few days and went to the east side of the house to have a look. When he entered the room, there was a strong smell of medicine, and he couldn't help but show a look of disgust on his face. Jin Niang was lying on the bed, her face was sallow, her hair was dry, and all this made him irritable. Jin Niang on the bed, opened her eyes weakly,
"Shizi, you're back. ”
"You lie down like this all day, and you don't go to greet your mother, and you don't care about those aunts, and see what kind of system is in this house? ”
"The concubine is not doing well, and she has the trust of the prince. This is the mother of Qin, who is close to Jin Niang next to her, and she really can't see it, so she said:
"Yesterday, the doctor came to say that the lady's fetus was unstable, so she was lying on the bed and couldn't get down. That's why I didn't go to my wife to say goodbye. ”
"Who allows you to speak, do you understand the rules? This is the person your lady disciplined? Why don't you go down and receive the punishment?" Li Duan was angry this time, and this mother hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Shizi, for the sake of the thin face of the concubine's body, just spare Mother Qin, she is too old to bear it. Li Duan "snorted" and opened the curtain and went out. Jin Niang suddenly felt that her eyes were sour, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Mother Qin stepped forward and hugged Jin Niang and said:
"Miss, don't cry, watch out for the children. ”
"Child, do they care about children?" Jin Niang muttered with teary eyes.
"Why are they doing this to you?"
"This is fate, I can't complain about others if I choose it. Mom, you said that I listened to my father at the time, was it right or wrong to come to Beijing?"
"Miss, bear with me, wait until you give birth to a little son, everything will be fine. ”
"Mom, I'm working so hard, I'm about to lose it. ”
Mother Qin was sad when she heard this, and the master and servant hugged and cried. After a long time, Qin's mother saw Jin Niang fall asleep, helped her tuck the quilt corners, and then walked out of the inner room. Seeing the little girl brought by Jin Niang, he ran in in a panic and said:
"Mom, it's not good. ”
"Be quiet, and the young lady will fall asleep. Mother Qin hurriedly stopped her and asked:
"What the hell is wrong, you are so flustered?"
"I went to the kitchen to decoct the young lady, and as soon as I walked to the door, I heard them say that the lady left a beautiful young lady yesterday, and now she is also following the prince to visit the garden, not only the lady is very fond of the young lady, and has rewarded many things, even the prince who has always been cold is very gentle with her, and cares for her, and speaks softly. Mother Li was also taken aback when she heard it, she had never heard of what the prince would accompany to do with any girl, let alone anything gentle, if it was put on the second son. Although the prince is not good to his own girl, he is very general to the two aunts, and he does not provoke any wild bees and butterflies outside, she also thinks that the prince is not close to women by nature, and she is not yet pleased with her young lady, who knows that it is just that ordinary women do not make the prince tempted.
"Mother, they also said that the young lady was of noble birth and was the daughter of Madame's old friend. Madame's mother Pei also personally sent a note to the mothers in charge, saying that Madame said that no one could snub that young lady. If anyone is disrespectful, he will be thrown out immediately. Do you say that the prince is going to accept that girl? ”
"Whoever said it, don't spread it here, be careful Miss hears it. "Mother Qin has always called Miss Jinniang in private, not Mrs.
"Yes, the slave knows. Xiaoxi hurriedly agreed.
Jin Niang inside actually woke up when Xiao Xi ran in, since she was pregnant, her sleep has always been very shallow, and this sentence made Jin Niang cold. She thought that even if the prince didn't like her, he hadn't stopped accepting new people, and although the husband and wife were not in harmony, they could get by. He came from a humble background, and the position of Mrs. Shizi was not what he should have wanted, but since he became a relative, he should live his life, and he accommodated Li Duan and his mother-in-law in everything, and they would get better together, just now after he was still phantom after the birth of the child, he could ease the relationship between the family, but Xiaoxi's words broke her unrealistic illusions. What a good life is just her wishful thinking. Needless to say, the beautiful girl must have been replaced by her mother-in-law, who did not like herself as soon as she entered the house, and she naively thought that with her own efforts, all this would improve, but nothing.
The scenes that first entered the house kept appearing in front of Jin Niang's eyes. The first time she saw the Duchess of Guo, she was frightened. is not only the grace of the whole body, but also the sharp eyes and the look of hatred. The mother-in-law used the excuse that she didn't understand the rules, so she sent her mother to follow her, and she was beaten and punished at every turn. She also said that she was too fat and didn't look good when she wore her wedding dress, so she cut off her food, and she often spent that day hungry. The days of enduring torture every day finally came to an end with the intervention of Grandpa Guo. I began to dream of a new beginning. On the day of marriage, the prince took off his hijab, and what caught his eye was his handsome appearance, and at the same time there were cold eyes. The wedding night was only endless pain for her, and the son rarely stepped into her room in the future, and this pregnancy was even more absurd in the drunkenness of the son, she did not feel the slightest joy, but became a tool to vent.
What is the meaning of such a life, what hope is there, and what does her persistence bring? She smiled bitterly and gradually seemed to return to the past, although life was not very rich, but she could live with a smile every day. She seemed to see her mother and her father......
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Jin Niang really didn't want to wake up from that dream, but she was woken up by Mother Qin's call, she opened her eyes and said
"Mom, you shouldn't wake me up, I don't want to wake up. ”
"Miss, you don't know, just now I saw you crying and crying for a while, and laughing for a while, but the old slave was frightened, I was afraid that I was scared, so I woke you up quickly. ”
"I had a good dream, a good dream, so good only in dreams. Mother Qin was suspicious that Jin Niang heard Xiaoxi's words, but she didn't dare to ask directly. Just persuaded Jin Niang to open some, take good care of her body, and give birth to a little son. But this time Jin Niang just listened quietly, and didn't answer again, her eyes didn't seem to have any sparkle, and she was not afraid of people.
