Chapter 155: Warning
Under the breezy hillock, Xia Shuanghan's suspicious inquiry made Pei Huanting really stunned, and then, she regained her thoughts, and quickly adjusted her state and quickly grabbed the white. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xia Shuanghan, last year in the Weirui Garden, you insulted me first, a few months ago you slapped me in the Guanyin Temple, I asked myself what I have never done to you, why did you bully me again and again? Sprinkled with medicinal powder and led a group of snakes to scare me, you dare to do such a despicable thing, why don't you allow me to ask for an explanation? ”
"Ask for an explanation, do you think you are worthy, Pei Huanting?" didn't want to continue to ride on horseback, wrapped around Zhang Yunyan and struggled to talk to Pei Huanting, Xia Shuanghan, who turned over and dismounted, guided Zhang Yunyan to sit firmly on the horse, and then turned to Pei Huanting, who was standing aside.
"Pei Huanting, yesterday there was a big hole in the fence between the east and north areas of the hunting ground, have you heard about it? You should have heard about me and Deputy Commander Lu being injured because of the she-bear that broke into the Eastern District, right? So based on this matter, can't you guess why I summoned a snake to scare you last night? ”
"I didn't make the hole in the fence, and I didn't hurt you when you were stupid and hurt yourself, you use these things as a reason, you have no problem with your brain, right?" Squinting at Xia Shuanghan with cold eyes, Pei Huanting only felt that her actions of chasing her here simply lowered her style.
"Huh, Pei Huanting, you can't see through such a simple thing, what do your eyes do you look for? Is it specifically for men? ”
sneered at Pei Huanting's Xia Shuanghan, and categorically blocked the rebuttal he wanted to say and said: "Pei Huanting, let me tell you the truth, the reason why Deputy Commander Lu was injured was because your husband Jun Jiang Yicheng set a trap to kill him, do you think that based on this, am I qualified to come to you for a small revenge?" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Faced with Xia Shuanghan's statement, Pei Huanting didn't believe a word at all, "The two of them have no grievances, yesterday's incident was an accident at all, how could it be man-made?" ”
"Ha, Pei Huanting, why don't you treat others with yourself? You keep saying that you have never done anything to me, isn't it because you didn't have the opportunity that you didn't succeed? Do you dare to swear to heaven that you never thought of getting rid of me and replacing me? You want to get rid of me for someone, just like Jiang Yicheng wants to get rid of Deputy Commander Lu for you, do you think your thoughts can be hidden from your husband? ”
"No...... No, it can't be! Pei Huanting, whose face turned pale in an instant, shook her head with trembling lips and said, "Impossible, the reason why Lu Gongzi was injured has nothing to do with Jiang Yicheng and me at all." It's you, it's you who distort the facts, confuse the public, and want to evade responsibility! ”
"Huh, I distort the facts? Am I confused? Pei Huanting, obviously you don't dare to admit that your feelings have become a burden to others and a source of hurting others! You don't dare to face the truth because you can't accept that your emotions are a complete burden and drag on your loved ones, something that shouldn't exist at all, and it's a very disgusting thing! ”
"Think about it yourself, what is your husband's attitude in the face of last night's snakes? Is it that when you suspected that the medicinal powder had something to do with me and Su Zhechen, your husband advised you not to think about it, and alleged that this matter had nothing to do with the Xiangyang Palace? ”
"Why did Jiang Yicheng do this, did you think about it, didn't he do it because he had a ghost in his heart? The trap he set yesterday swept me in, so in the face of Su Chenchen's revenge, which was not too excessive, he would be willing to bear it silently, instead of making trouble like you and making trouble to beg for yourself. ”
"Impossible, I don't believe it!" Trembling back, Pei Huanting, who looked in a hurry, was just as Xia Shuanghan said, not worried that her buried feelings in her heart would be seen through by her husband's family, but that her feelings had become the culprit of hurting Lu Shaoyun.
"Do you believe it or not, if you don't believe it, the truth will not change because you believe it or not, and Deputy Commander Lu's disgust and abnormal perception of you because of this incident will never fade! Your feelings have made you the most disgusting existence in the heart of the person you care about the most. ”
Ruthlessly taunted Pei Huanting, and only felt a bad breath in his heart, Xia Shuanghan, who turned to Zhang Yunyan, who had been sitting silently on horseback beside him.
Zhang Yunyan, who holds the concept of "emotional problems and personal grudges, it is better for outsiders not to participate without authorization", does not think that she has a higher wrist than Xia Shuanghan and can better solve the problems in front of her. What's more, as far as the current friendship is concerned, she and Xia Shuanghan are not so close that they talk about everything.
Therefore, Zhang Yunyan, who thought that Xia Shuanghan should be left enough time and space to deal with the problem at this time, wisely and wisely put forward the idea of returning to the camp on this matter.
Faced with Zhang Yunyan's empathetic proposal, Xia Shuanghan, who turned over on the horse again, directly left Pei Huanting, who was still stunned because of the unacceptable truth, and then quickly drove the red cloud back to the camp.
After agreeing with Zhang Yunyan to go out for horseback riding together another day, Xia Shuanghan, who handed over Hongyun to the groom, walked into Zhou Yaoguang's tent with a serious face.
"Princess, why are you here?" In the brightly lit tent, Zhou Yaoguang, who was chopping silk threads to prepare for embroidered handkerchiefs, was stunned the moment he raised his eyes and saw Xia Shuanghan who suddenly opened the curtain and walked in.
Then, put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up and saluted respectfully, while maintaining his apparent composure, he instructed his personal maid to read tea for Xia Shuanghan.
"Zhou Yaoguang, since the day you lived in the Xiangyang Palace, in the past few months, I asked myself, except for the time when I reprimanded you in Lotus Mountain and Tingtao Courtyard, I didn't make you lose face or feel sorry for you the rest of the time, right?"
After taking a seat at the top position, he glanced at Zhou Yaoguang, who was standing at the bottom and hung his head and only promised, Xia Shuanghan really couldn't understand why there were so many people in this world who didn't like to live a quiet life, instead of choosing to fight to the death with nothing to do.
"Okay, since you nodded and admitted, then I ask you, we have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, why can't you live your life in peace, instead of being embarrassed with Pei Huanting, plotting together how to deal with me behind my back?"
"Wronged, princess, when did Yaoguang do such a thing?" Zhou Yaoguang, who raised his head suddenly, said with a blank and innocent expression: "The princess said that I conspired with Miss Pei Family, but you know, I don't know who Miss Pei Family is!" ”
"Zhou Yaoguang, it seems that the two things I said to you before were really all in vain, and you still haven't figured out your position."
Too lazy to have anything to do with Zhou Yaoguang, if you didn't hook up with Pei Huanting, how could she come to me with confidence to ask for an explanation about the matter of the spirit snake scattering, I already knew Pei Huanting and Zhou Yaoguang in my previous life, and knew what their nature was Xia Shuanghan said: "Zhou Yaoguang, whether you are involved with Pei Huanting or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter if you have factual evidence, as long as I believe that you have, then you have; As long as I decide that you are not cleaning up, then I will really deal with you without mercy. ”
"Princess, how can you do this? You don't even use the tricks of torture into tricks, and you convict me based on your own subjective assumptions, what right do you have to do this? ”
"What are the rights?" Facing Zhou Yaoguang's fierce questioning, he bent the corners of his mouth contemptuously, glanced at Xia Shuanghan of Zhou Yaoguang, who was angry and aggrieved, and put on a wanton posture and said arrogantly: "Just because I am a townsman, you are an orphan girl, I have force and you don't, I can sit here and you can only stand there, do you think these reasons are enough?" ”
"Princess Shizi, you are bullying others!"
"I'm just a bully, can you bear with me?" Xia Shuanghan, who was disgusted by Zhou Yaoguang's aggrieved and helpless and tearful appearance, waved his hand impatiently and said: "Put away your sour cat urine, I'm not a man, do you think I'll be soft on you because of your pear blossoms and rain?" Zhou Yaoguang, let me tell you, if you obediently keep to yourself, I can do it with your well water without violating the river water, but if you have to kill yourself by touching the egg with the stone, I will never show mercy. ”
"Publicize the fact that you are cheating on your illness and delaying your marriage, do you think there are still people in the capital who you want to cling to are willing to want you to be your daughter-in-law, it should be gone, right? If you are eyeing me in vain and trying to replace me, and even if you can't replace it, you are willing to be a concubine for the prince, and tell your grandmother, the prince, and the princess, do you think you can live as comfortably in the Xiangyang palace in the future as you are now, shouldn't it? Take your personal belongings and go outside to find a ruffian and a hooligan to ruin your reputation, do you still have hope for the rest of your life, should it be gone? ”
“......”
"Zhou Yaoguang, Zhou Yaoguang, why don't you understand?" Facing Zhou Yaoguang, whose face changed greatly because of her words, biting her lip and not speaking, Xia Shuanghan easily saw her uneasiness and fear from her trembling fingertips.
"I usually ignore you and don't confront you head-on, but it's just because I'm too lazy to bother with you, not because I'm afraid of you. If you really me off and want to kill you, I have the methods and means. So, you'd better live your life and don't provoke me again, understand? If I find that you are still unrepentant and continue to communicate with Pei Huanting, then next time, I will not be a simple verbal warning. ”
Putting down this last threat, Xia Shuanghan, who had lifted the curtain, stood up and strode out, while at the same time, Zhou Yaoguang, who was in the tent, bent his knees and fell to the ground unsupportively.
In the next few days, because the hand injury had not yet healed, Xia Shuanghan did not continue to enter the forest farm to hunt, but focused on instructing Xie Zhuoting to improve his riding skills. At the same time, just when she continued to take the time to take Zhang Yunyan, who liked the feeling of horseback riding, to go to the outside of the camp by chance, Lu Shaoyun, who had recovered from a leg injury, also sought revenge from Jiang Yicheng.
I didn't go into the details of the matter, I just heard about Xia Shuanghan, and after learning that Jiang Yicheng broke one leg and broke two ribs by his own mount, he was satisfied to regain his mental balance.
"It seems that Jiang Yicheng is really suffering from the enemy now! Outside, Tingxuan asked him to avenge an arrow, and inside Pei Huanting gave him a 'backyard fire', under internal and external troubles, his life was in a hurry, and he completely deserved it! ”
The crisp autumn breeze stained the maple leaves, and the thickening morning mist began to pour into the tents unscrupulously, clearly conveying the deepening winter to everyone.
Time flies, the autumn hunt is over, and the day to return to Beijing has arrived. And just when Xia Shuanghan happily played on the autumn hunt, and was about to bring all kinds of booty that she had hunted with her own hands, and happily returned to Xia's house to visit her father and younger brother, there was also a person in the capital waiting for her return.
Since being grounded by his father-in-law Lu Xiaoqing, the Xu family has been having a bad time in recent months. In the past few decades, the life of power has made her deeply imprinted the superiority of "being the housewife" into her blood and bones, and she has become accustomed to the days when everyone in the mansion in the Dingguo Mansion obeys her arrangements and dispatches.
But now, the days of calling slaves and maids, commanding and pampering are gone, and what Xu can see every day, except for two sprinkling and sweeping mothers-in-law, and a girl who only appears at meal time, is only Mama Gui, who has been following her since the day she got married.
"I've been beautiful for most of my life, but when I get old, I am planted in the hands of Xia Shuanghan's dead girl, I am unwilling!" In the spacious but unusually lonely Jing Shu Zhai, Xu, who looked out of the courtyard through the open second-floor window, didn't know how many times he had talked about this topic.
"Madam, the matter has come to this, even if you feel that you can't swallow this breath, you should put it down! You don't know how firm the attitude of Grandpa Guo is, even if you can get out of this courtyard and live in the palace for a while with the help of the Queen Mother in a few days, will you not be able to return to the Dingguo Mansion for the rest of your life? Since you are coming back, don't do anything crooked, otherwise, your life will be even more difficult than it is now! ”
"How bad could it be? The lord has completely disgusted me now, Ting Xuan resents me again, the power of the family is divided between the concubine and the daughter-in-law, my life has long been reduced to the point that it can't be worse, what can I lose? Xia has a good saying, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, I am now a broken jar, it doesn't matter at all. ”
Mama Gui persuaded her bitterly, and Xu didn't listen to a word. Now she is just waiting for the Queen Mother to send someone over as soon as possible to get her out of this inhumane Jingshu Zhai.
As the most beloved niece of the Queen Mother today, the Xu family before she got married often went to the palace to accompany her aunt. Although later, the Xu family married into the Lu family, which was a royalist, because of his own willfulness, and then had to follow the requirements of his father-in-law and husband, and became increasingly estranged from the queen mother, who was the mother of the seventh prince at the time, but after Jinsheng ascended the throne, he often entered the palace to accompany the queen mother who had lost power to relieve her boredom and chat, but she had already made up for the part that had been estranged between them.
In order to land the marriage between Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan, the Xu family was completely grounded, and the Queen Mother knew about it. And from the day she knew about it, the question of how to free the Xu family from the grounding has been hovering in her heart and has never left.
The eunuch who was first assigned by the Queen Mother to go to the palace to accompany the Xu family was blocked by Lu Xiaoqing on the grounds that "the fourth daughter-in-law Xu is seriously ill now, lest she pass her illness to the nobles in the palace, so I hope that the Queen Mother will come to announce her into the palace after a while".
Subsequently, the Queen Mother, who thought that the words in Lu Xiaoqing's mouth were absolutely lies, started to debunk Lu Xiaoqing's lies on the grounds of assigning the imperial doctor to treat Xu, and then took the healthy Xu out of the Dingguo Mansion.
It's a pity that when the Daxia woman sees a doctor, she either sits behind the hanging beaded curtain or curtain, or her face is covered with a light veil that makes it difficult to see her face, so the imperial doctor who came to the Dingguo Mansion to see her for treatment is not Xu herself's other seriously ill women.
So in this way, the imperial doctor, who had no idea of Lu Xiaoqing's means of stealing beams and changing pillars, returned to the palace with the news that "Mrs. Lu is indeed seriously ill". And at the beginning, I didn't expect Lu Xiaoqing's courage to be so big, and even she dared to deceive the Queen Mother, but when she was so angry that she rushed to the crown, she couldn't find any real evidence to hold Dingguo Gong accountable.
"Use illness as an excuse to prevent our aunt and nephew from seeing each other, right? Okay, you Lu Xiaoqing, you really think I can't deal with you, do you? ”
The Queen Mother, who made up her mind to fight with Lu Xiaoqing to the end, and wanted to bring the Xu family into the palace no matter what, once again passed a will to the Dingguo Mansion after the Autumn Hunting Brigade left Beijing: The mourning family, as the closest aunt of the Lu Xu family, has been anxious and painful in her heart since she learned that her niece's condition has not improved for a long time, and she only hopes that she can recover one day. Therefore, in order to allow the niece to get better medical conditions, the mourning family now decided to take her into the palace and ordered all the imperial doctors to consult together and treat her in the palace.
So in this way, the Xu family, who was accepted into the palace by the Queen Mother under the banner of curing and recuperating from the disease, temporarily got out of the grounded situation and gained a trace of freedom that had been lost for a long time. At the same time, it was here that Xu, who had been unable to let go of the hatred for Xia Shuanghan in her heart, found what she thought was Xia Shuanghan's Achilles' heel.
As mentioned above, the Bactrian royal family did not encourage the people to believe in religion because of their admiration for Confucianism, so as a member of the royal family who needed to lead by example, the believers in Buddhism or Taoism in the palace could not find a second person except for one person on the surface. And the only person who is different is the queen mother who has lost her family, rights and children.
As an old woman who has grown old and lost hope for the future, the Queen Mother's belief in religion has become her spiritual sustenance. Therefore, with the idea of "not letting her find something to do, she is very bored and will come out to be a demon again", the saint has never interfered with the religious beliefs of the queen mother.
As the longest-serving relative of the Queen Mother over the years, Xu has been imperceptible to gods and Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and ghosts for a long time.
Therefore, after entering the palace this time, in the process of accompanying the Queen Mother to chant scriptures and participate in Zen, he had been unable to figure out why his son was obsessed with Xia Shuanghan, and suddenly from the perspective of gods and demons, he came up with a ridiculous answer - Xia Shuanghan must have been unclean, so that the fox spirit was on his body.
Lu Shaoyun's affection for the sake of not marrying for life, Su Yixing's persistence in marrying her even at the expense of snatching love, Liu Zirun's deep friendship at the expense of losing everyone's eyes to maintain her deep friendship, Xie Zhuoting was beaten up and still ran forward to ask for advice and set a close attitude...... The attitude of these men or teenagers towards Xia Shuanghan made Xu more and more convinced that there must be unknown evil laws and sneaks in her body.
"Virtue and merit, the Xia family, who has no equal, as a half-Hu person and no strong family background, if she wants to say that she hasn't played any tricks, she can make those men do this to her, then I absolutely don't believe what I say!"
So in this way, the Xu family, who had come to a conclusion on their own and believed in it, waited for Xia Shuanghan, who returned to Beijing with the team of autumn hunting, when they were tinkering with all kinds of things to eliminate spirits and evil spirits.
It has been a practice for many years to return to Beijing after autumn hunting and to go to court after two days of repair. Therefore, on the fourth day of the first month of October, Xia Shuanghan, who went out with all kinds of game in the afternoon, arrived at Xia's house in Shuanghe Lane with Su Yixing, who was resting.
In just one month, it was not enough for the Xia family to make any changes worth mentioning. Therefore, after putting away the game he brought, he casually talked to his father about some homely summer frosts, and took Xia Chaoyang, who had returned from school and had completed today's schoolwork, and went out to the market together.
On the bustling street, Xia Shuanghan, who was protecting Xia Chaoyang with Su Yixing, was about to take his younger brother to the crowded place in front of him and performing juggling, but suddenly a carriage next to Xia Shuanghan slowed down, bringing an unexpected "surprise" to the group of three.
In the carriage that suddenly lifted the curtain, it was the Xu family who had not seen him for a long time who stood out with a wooden basin. And just when he lowered his head and asked his younger brother if he wanted to buy a string of sugar gourds first and then go to see Xia Shuanghan, who was juggling, before realizing that Xu, who had always harbored malice towards her, was close to her, Xu, who was smiling fiercely at the corners of his mouth, splashed the black, red, black, and red stinky liquid in the wooden basin towards Xia Shuanghan.
