Chapter 13: The Past!
After returning to the main compartment, Shi Jiao'e was silent for a long time and recalled a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning, she married Han Xiu because of Han Xiu's life-saving grace.
At that time, Emperor Dali died suddenly, and the second prince suddenly murdered the crown prince and successfully usurped the throne.
However, the second prince was tyrannical by nature, brutal and murderous, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he began to purge the prince's old party, but anyone who had anything to do with the prince did not let go.
As the leading nobleman of the gate, although the Shi family was not a princeling with a clear banner, so they escaped the disaster of annihilation, but because of their dealings with the prince, they had to withdraw from the court and move south.
On the way to the south, due to the negligence of the domestic servants, Shi Jiao'e's carriage was scattered by the homeless people and was hijacked by gangsters. Fortunately, she met Han Xiu, who was out to meet friends, and was rescued by Han Xiu. In order to repay her kindness and maintain her reputation, she married him.
At that time, in her eyes, Han Xiu was an upright and good young man.
Until later......
disappointed again and again, it made her see the essence of Han Xiu clearly.
"Mother...... I was wrong! I was really wrong! The daughter knew it was wrong...... But what should I do...... What the hell should I do......" Shi Jiao'e covered her face with her hands, her body curled up, helpless like a child.
She's not as strong as she seems!
She regretted it!
She really regretted it!
At the beginning, she was bent on marrying Han Xiu, ignoring the gap between the two families! It was she who persuaded the Shi family to provide money and goods for Han Xiu and raised Han Xiu's ambitions! It was also she who encouraged her father and brother to join the rebel army, tying the Shi family to Han Xiu's great cause!
She single-handedly supported Han Xiu's great cause, but made the Shi family his stepping stone!
Now, Shi Jiao'e can't regret it.
Her father is in charge of the overall situation in the rear, handling menial government affairs. Her younger brother led the army and died in the war. Her eldest brother still travels between the rear and the front line, providing food, grass and soldiers. Even her brother-in-law worked under Han Xiu.
The Shi family is too deeply involved and can't escape.
"Han Xiu!" Shi Jiao'e clenched her fists hatefully.
At the beginning, it was because she was not deeply involved in the world that she was blind and blinded by him.
She always thought that a good man who could stand up for strangers and act bravely for strangers in times of crisis was definitely worth entrusting for life.
However, she has forgotten her own worth!
She has a luxurious carriage and horses, and she is obviously not an ordinary family! And Han Xiu simply guessed that her identity was not simple, so he took the risk to save her.
He saved her for the sake of profit!
And this adventure has indeed brought him a rich reward!
In the past, Shi Jiao'e didn't understand, she just thought he was a good person. But as she experienced more and more things and saw more and more complex human nature, she finally realized how simple she was at the beginning - how wrong it was to judge a person's character just by a small thing.
Unfortunately, the mistake has been made!
She must bear the consequences of her own making!
For some reason, Shi Jiao'e actually remembered Chu Yang - the same man, Han Xiu used his wife and children as bait to escape for his life, but Chu Yang let her go on the battlefield.
There is a kind of person who you expect from him, and he will always disappoint you, such as Han Xiu. And there is a kind of person who you don't need to expect from him, but he will never let you down, for example, Chu Yang, the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Of course, Chu Yang is a hero of the world, and his life is bright and upright, how can Han Xiu compare!
It's just that Shi Jiao'e also feels sorry for Chu Yang. After all, it is the gentleman who binds himself with morality, while the villain can have no scruples!
Now that an armistice agreement has been signed, Chu Yang is a gentleman and will naturally abide by the covenant.
However, Han Xiu ......
How can he keep his word?!
Han Xiu, who doesn't even care about the most basic courtesy, righteousness and shame, can't do anything? As long as the Jin army relaxes a little, he can send troops to sneak attack and catch the Northern Jin by surprise! The brave and warlike Jin army is not afraid of any army in a head-on battle, but it may not be able to withstand Han Xiu's three indiscriminate methods!
Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
On the battlefield, it is always the righteous man who suffers!
Heroes often become tragedies, and heroes can stand out from the crowd.
……
Shi Jiao'e didn't know that at the same time, in the military tent of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Chu Yang was also feeling sorry for her.
He had never seen a woman with so many qualities, strong, ruthless, weak, but more assertive. This strong and brave woman, with thin shoulders can carry half the sky, she has given everything for her husband, but she has not received the respect and reward she deserves.
Chu Yang admires Shi Jiao'e, but sympathizes with her even more!
The filthy and obscene Han Xiu is really not worthy of her!
Throughout the night, Chu Yang would always involuntarily think of Shi Jiao'e, and his mind was full of the scene when she was about to jump into the boiling water.
He has seen a lot of heroic and sassy northern nobles, and he has also seen a lot of gentle and graceful southern beauties, but only Shi Jiao'e ...... He can't forget!
When captured, pride raised his head!
When in captivity, live calmly and calmly!
When used as a hostage, face life and death calmly!
If it weren't for the fact that they were destined to be enemies of each other, he would have made her a confidant!
Pity......
Pity!!!
In the early morning of the next day, no one set foot in the main courtyard, it was deserted, and there was not even a single figure; And in the west courtyard, there are already countless servant women who are busy.
Of course, this is also normal, after all, without the master's instructions, the slaves and maids will not open their eyes and run to the lady who has fallen out of favor to offer courtesy.
"Wang, what should you do with Madame's side? Do you still need to send someone to serve you? While serving Han Xiu to dress, Liu Suizhu seemed to inadvertently mention Shi Jiao'e, wanting to test Han Xiu's attitude.
"You don't have to worry about her affairs, this king has his own plans." Han Xiu frowned, with a look of disgust, as if he didn't want to mention this person for a moment.
In fact, he didn't think about how to deal with Shi Jiao'e at all, and as long as the Shi family was in one day, he couldn't deal with her. It's just that he won't admit this kind of face-damaging thing in front of the Liu family.
In front of the Liu family, he will always be an omnipotent sky.
"Yes...... Just don't ask, isn't it a bit of a slack? Madame doesn't like slaves and maids, so she won't blame slaves and maids, right? Liu Suizhu hesitated to speak, with a look of panic on her face.
"Nothing! You won't be blamed! Han Xiu's face was cold, and his face swept through with impatience.
He hated Shi Jiao'e, and even felt that Shi Jiao'e should not come back alive. Shi Jiao'e's return greatly disrupted his life, making him extremely irritable and not pleasing to the eye.
"It's a slave who has a lot of mouth!" Liu Suizhu was even more sincerely afraid, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "It is the duty of the slave and maid to serve the lady, and the lady is unhappy, and it is also the slave and maid who should be angry with the slave and maid." The king is busy with government affairs, and the slaves and maids should not use such trivial matters to annoy the king. ”
Liu Suizhu admitted her mistake on her lips, and her attitude was even more upright and sincere, but on that low-hanging face, a trace of smugness flashed quickly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she tried her best to hide it.
The result of this trial made her very satisfied. Han Xiu's dislike for Shi Jiao'e was even more serious than she imagined, and she didn't even want to mention it.
This reassured her.
