==Chapter 90==
The side door of the Guozijian is very quiet because it has long since left school.
In front of the door stood two students wearing the regular uniforms of Guozijian students, the man was gentle and elegant, noble and dusty, and the girl was petite and delicate, soft and beautiful, the two stood together, looking like a painting from a distance.
But at this time, the painting was broken by a carriage that suddenly approached, and the king of Chu sat in the car, dressed in a dark embroidered brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, but his face was as cold as ice.
"Get in the car!"
This is the first time in Jiu Niang's life that she has seen King Chu look so cold, this kind of cold is a warning, Jiu Niang is no stranger to this kind of warning, so she subconsciously climbed into the car and forgot about Wang Shilang who was standing on the side.
"Jiu Niangβ"
Wang Shilang subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed Jiu Niang's sleeve, Jiu Niang glanced back at him, and said, "Brother Wang, it's time for me to go home." β
"Butβ"
"What's the matter, can you talk about it another day?"
In fact, Jiuniang didn't want to talk to Wang Shilang at all, but in this situation, it was better to leave the other party perfunctorily first. Somehow, when she looked at King Chu's face, she always felt that he seemed to hate Wang Shilang's appearance.
Wang Shilang still wanted to entangle, but a gaze like a sharp sword shot over, making his hand holding Jiu Niang's sleeve can't help but let go.
He looked at the King of Chu sitting in the middle of the car with an ugly face, and the King of Chu did not avoid looking back. Two equally outstanding men looked at each other, one gentle and elegant, full of bookish smell, and the other reserved and dignified, full of coldness and majesty.
Wang Shilang's heart was very confused, he was wondering what is the relationship between this King of Chu and Jiu Niang, is it really just a simple cousin relationship? Why did he feel like it wasn't?
Chang Shun glanced at the uninteresting person in front of him, gave the groom a look, and with the neighing of the horse, the carriage went away.
"Stay away from this person in the future!"
Jiu Niang only reacted after getting into the car, and a scene that happened on the day of the Shangyuan Festival appeared in her mind, and she suddenly felt like she was on pins and needles, and she didn't even dare to look at King Chu. At this time, the king of Chu suddenly made a sound, which immediately woke her up from her trance, and she subconsciously hummed.
The King of Chu was very satisfied with Jiu Niang's reply, and his eyes, which had been dark and churning, slowly returned to calm.
"How long has it been since you've been to a private house?" King Chu turned the sapphire ring on his index finger and looked at Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, followed by a weak heart, and couldn't help but hang her head, "These days are about to start school, and I'm a little busy." β
In fact, this is not the case, Xiaocui once mentioned this matter, but Jiu Niang refused. The lady ordered it like this, and the people below naturally didn't dare to question it more, so Jiu Niang in the private house never went, and completely forgot that she had to go to the private house every day before.
Seeing Jiu Niang say this, King Chu snorted coldly and did not speak. Raising his eyes and seeing her shrinking into a ball, with an extremely pitiful appearance, King Chu felt a little annoyed in his heart.
"This king remembers that you were never afraid of this king in the past, why are you alive now?"
Jiu Niang almost wanted to wail.
Afraid, how can you not be afraid? It's just that the King of Chu has connived at her for a long time, and she has forgotten the fear hidden in her bones in her previous life.
And now she is not afraid of King Chu, but embarrassed. The events of that day are still vivid, and the remaining finger marks on her pampered body have just disappeared, although everyone knows that the king of Chu is drugged to act like this, but she is a woman after all. Although she is not yet in time, although the men and women of Daqi are not strictly guarded, but being like that and being like that, how can she not feel it at all.
Jiuniang was full of embarrassment and helplessness at this time, she was actually despised by the King of Chu.
King Chu, it's none other than him! It's just unimaginable!
The memory that was obviously deliberately ignored became clear again at this time, and Jiu Niang's half-drooping little face was flushed, so hot that she could boil an egg.
King Chu pointed to the cushion beside him, "Come here." β
Jiuniang trembled, and still sat down slowly, but it was some distance from King Chu, but it was not attached to the wall of the carriage.
King Chu glanced at her, turned sideways, supported the car wall with one hand, raised her pink little face with the other, and looked at her with inky black pupils for a moment, until Jiu Niang's heart trembled, and then he said, "You are afraid of this king." β
Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
"Is it because of that day?"
The hairs on Jiu Niang's neck stood up, if it weren't for the last self-control, Jiu Niang couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage immediately.
"What? What do you say, cousin? Jiuniang laughed dryly, not daring to look directly at each other.
King Chu's narrow eyes were half-narrowed, and he looked at her for a moment before letting go of his hand.
The carriage fell into silence, Jiuniang half-hung her head and was uneasy, but the king of Chu had dark pupils and couldn't see the color clearly.
Suddenly, the small chin was lifted again, and the King of Chu looked at the trembling thick eyelashes in front of him, and the small tip of his nose and pink cherry lips. I don't know why my throat was a little dry, and my thumb rubbed against my pink and soft lips, until it turned red, and the king of Chu had complicated eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "This king will be responsible." β
Jiuniang felt her heart shrink suddenly, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to speak.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
"This king still has something to do, let someone send you back first." King Chu let go of his hand.
Jiuniang nodded blankly, Chang Shun pulled the car door, and she hurriedly got out. There was also a carriage parked not far away, which was the carriage driven by Da Kui, who had been following behind.
It wasn't until she got into her own carriage that Jiu Niang reacted.
Charge? What does this mean?
*
Along the way, she returned to Anguo Mansion in a distraught, Jiuniang got out of the carriage and took Xiaocui to Cuiyun Pavilion.
Walking through the back garden, I met Xiao Liuniang and the three of them, who had also just finished school.
Xiao Liuniang stopped, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Jiuniang who was walking slowly.
She was in a very good mood these days, seeing that Xiao Jiuniang was notorious in the national prison, and there was no room to fight back, Xiao Liuniang simply wanted to celebrate with the whole world. Because of this, she has been very kind to Xiao Ru in the past few days, which has caused Xiao Ru to really live a good life for a few days, of course, outsiders don't know about it.
"Who is this? Isn't this our Yirong County Lord? β
Jiuniang looked at Xiao Liuniang with a malicious face, she didn't know what to say, she had always known that this person had no brains, but it was the first time she found that she was so brainless.
Blame and blame and don't count, the face is just β‘β‘ write 'I am the main messenger behind the scenes', no wonder it is always made a raft, in the previous life obviously took a good hand, but in the end ended up a miserable end.
Of course, Jiuniang will never say that Xiao Liuniang was in a miserable situation in her previous life, and she has contributed a lot to it, she has long said that she has never been a good stubble, for a person who is determined not to forget to go against herself, and secretly makes many enemies, adding bricks and tiles is just her Xiao Jiuniang's duty.
In her previous life, Xiao Liuniang had the Xiao family and Princess Changping behind her back, and her marriage was not bad, it can be said to be excellent, but she was intercepted by someone, and she also ended up losing her innocence and being laughed at.
Although because of the power of his mother and grandmother, no one dared to say anything to his face, including the Xiao family, who only regarded ignorance, let Xiao Liu stay in the Xiao family, and even planned to marry him again. But after that, Princess Changping was involved in the matter of seizing the heir, not only did she end up dead, but also affected her daughter Chaoxia County Lord, who had been relying on her. After that, the lord of Chaoxia County died, and Xiao Liu had no support. Because Jiu Niang secretly put pressure on her, she was sent to the temple by the Xiao family to be with her for the rest of her life, of course, it was all after Jiu Niang got married.
Even if Jiuniang married into the Wang family, she never forgot to block Xiao Liu and the county lord of Chaoxia, this has nothing to do with anything else, she has been bullied enough, and finally the time is ripe to win back a city, she always has to vent enough, after all, she is a well-known 'poisonous woman'. will fall into such a name, the mother and daughter of Chaoxia County are indispensable, how can Jiuniang be worthy of these two people who look at themselves differently if they don't implement it.
So when she came back to life in this life, Xiao Liuniang has always been a dead person in Jiuniang's heart, which is why Xiao Liuniang has repeatedly jumped in front of her, and she is too lazy to worry about her.
One yard is one yard, all her enemies in her previous life did not end well, as long as Xiao Liuniang is not too excessive in this life, Jiuniang actually doesn't want to worry about her. It's a pity that fate is strange and unpredictable, many things have changed in this life, but this rival has not changed.
Jiu Niang's eyes were dark and inexplicable because of the memories, and she looked directly at Xiao Liuniang, but it gave people a feeling that she didn't seem to put the other party in her eyes at all. How could Xiao Liuniang bear it, and couldn't help but sneer: "What are you arrogant, who doesn't know that you are from a low background, wearing the skin of a county lord, and you are still a cheap embryo, just as cheap as your cheap mother." β
With Xiao Liuniang's age and knowledge, she probably can't say such vicious words, since she can pull Yueji, she must have heard the county lord of Chaoxia scold like this, and she learned it.
If it is said that Jiu Niang's two lives have sore feet, there is no one else except Yueji, and Yueji and Xiao Nan have been dependent on each other in the Lingyuan for decades, Jiuniang has witnessed Yueji's tragic experience since she was a child.
She thinks that she has never been a good stubble, and she has never been soft on dealing with enemies, but she has been repeatedly disgusted by the methods of the county lord of Chaoxia. It's just that she was still young at that time, and she had no other way than to suppress her anger in her heart, which is why she hated the county lord of Chaoxia to the bone, even if she knew that Mrs. Wang was her mother-in-law in her previous life, she was the main reason why she would never die with the county lord of Chaoxia.
is also the reason why she hates the Xiao family, obviously she has the surname Xiao, and there is a prosperous family behind her back to do the honor guard, which is the foundation of a woman's life. But she didn't take the usual path, and in her last life, she joined forces with the King of Chu, which caused the Xiao family to be torn apart, and there were many internal and external troubles.
Yueji is a dancing girl raised by the Xiao family, and when she enters the courtyard, she is not only a dancing girl, but also a prostitute. It is not uncommon for wealthy families to keep dancers and prostitutes in captivity.
It's just that Yueji's identity is special, and the people in the Lingyuan don't dare to persecute it openly, but it's not good in the open, but the hands and feet in the secret are never less. Xiao Nan was born sick and weak, and when she was a child, she was soaked in soup and grew up, and Yueji, as a lowly dancing girl, how much money can she have for Xiao Nan to see a doctor and take medicine, but she insisted on it for two years, and she couldn't hold on anymore, and finally she could only rely on 'extra' rewards to survive.
And the so-called extra tips are self-evident.
So Yueji's death is not only the root of the disease left by giving birth to two daughters, but also because she has gone around and around, and still has not escaped the fate of becoming a prostitute, especially in the meantime, there is also a Xiao Hang and two daughters. This kind of encounter was a great psychological trauma for her, and she only lasted ten years, and she could no longer endure it and let go.
In her previous life, Jiuniang's reputation was much worse than this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was infamous, the biggest reason was because she had a mother who became a prostitute.
Jiuniang does not resent Yueji, Yueji is just a hard-working woman, and what made her fall into this situation, let her and her sister fall into this situation, except for the culprit Chaoxia County Lord, Xiao Hang and the Xiao family have all contributed a lot.
In fact, ignoring is also a sin, but few people are aware of it.
Therefore, since her rebirth, although Jiuniang has been aggrieved with the Xiao family, she has never had any sense of belonging. In her thoughts, although she has a surname Xiao, everyone here has nothing to do with her. Including Xiao Hang, he may have used the idea of using the other party as a backer before, but later saw that he couldn't use it, so Jiuniang rarely interacted with the other party. It's better to say that it's a father and daughter, but it's better to say that it's a passerby.
At this time, Xiao Liuniang's words evoked the memories of Jiuniang buried in her memory, and also poked her sore feet. So whatever calmness and calmness are fake, and after removing this layer of skin, Jiuniang is still the Xiao Jiuniang who will repay her in her previous life.
You forced me!
Originally, Jiu Niang took revenge because of the revenge in her previous life, and she just wanted to live a stable life, and leave the Xiao family to live her own leisurely life in a few years, so for many things, her attitude is to avoid them, but the reality tells her that sometimes there are some things that you can't avoid!
A sharp glint flashed in Jiu Niang's eyes, contrary to everyone's expectations, she stepped forward and pulled Xiao Liuniang's hair bun, and gave the other party two slaps before everyone reacted.
In fact, Jiu Niang can use her identity as the county lord to suppress people, and let Xiaocui step forward to teach this person who has spoken disrespectful words. But what's more enjoyable than doing it yourself? And this time you can only be caught off guard, and if you delay it, you will only be interfered with.
Jiu Niang can bear it, but she doesn't want to endure it, and she can't bear it!
Xiao Liuniang didn't react at all, she felt a pain on her head and cheeks, and Xiao Qiniang was all her mind fell into memories, thinking that she had also been beaten so badly by Xiao Jiu back then. And Xiao Ru stood aside, as if she hadn't seen this qiΔ, until Liu Niang screamed, she followed the reprimand in surprise.
"Xiao Jiuniang, what do you want to do, don't let go of Liuniang soon!"
Xiao Ru stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Jiuniang, and Xiao Cui stepped forward to block her.
In fact, the reason why Jiu Niang slapped Xiao Liuniang at this time was also to take advantage of the right time and place, Xiao Liuniang and the three of them came back from school, and there was no maid and servant woman around them, if they were usually surrounded by servants, Jiu Niang would not have this opportunity to shoot at all.
Xiao Liuniang screamed hysterically, scolding in her mouth, and pushing and hitting Jiuniang with her hands. Xiao Qiniang can't care about anything at this time, Xiao Liuniang was beaten in front of herself, if she didn't do something, the county lord of Chaoxia would tear her up.
She hurriedly pounced, Jiuniang grabbed Liuniang's hair, pulled her backwards, and kicked Xiao Qiniang sideways, kicking the other party to the sky.
"People don't accept it, I'll take you, don't you have a lot of fun making rumors about me? Are you happy at this time? Jiuniang turned around and gave Liuniang another slap, and stepped on Xiao Qi who fell to the ground twice.
Xiao Cui was completely stunned at this moment, it was the first time she had seen Jiu Niangzi fighting.
In her mind, Jiu Niangzi has always been calm and calm and does not lose the dignity and elegance that a noble girl should have, this behavior is completely out of order in the eyes of martial arts people, but I have to say that the eyesight and the angle of the hand are excellent, with such a small size and slender body of Jiu Niang, it can make two people have no room to fight back.
This qiΔ only happens in an instant.
In the distance, there were already many subordinates who heard the movement and rushed straight over, Jiuniang kicked Xiao Liuniang to the ground, took a few steps back, and Xiao Cui saw this and hurriedly escorted her.
"Xiao Jiuniang, you are so bold, I won't spare your ......"
Xiao Liuniang cried tears and snot, it was painful, and she also felt humiliated. Her face was red and swollen, and it was extremely hideous, if it weren't for the pain that she really couldn't get up, she couldn't wait to step forward and tear Xiao Jiuniang.
"You actually beat your sister...... Xiao Qiniang covered her heart and cried.
Can you get something fresh? Jiu Niang's belly slandered.
She brushed the hair on her sideburns, and took a cold breath during the process, Xiao Liuniang's nails were too long, and she actually scratched her hand with two blood marks during the fight just now, but the other party was even worse than her.
Jiu Niang glanced at the two of them over there, and the depression that had been held in her heart for a few days was smooth in an instant.
The people who came here were stunned when they saw this situation, and left a few people to support Xiao Liuniang and Xiao Qiniang, while the others hurried to inform the people above.
A few little ladies fight, okay, everyone knows that this time it will not be small.
Not long after, a housekeeper and servant woman led a large group of people to hurry over, and the leader was Aunt Hu of Anrong Temple.
Xiao Liuniang and Xiao Jiuniang were taken to Anrong Courtyard together, and Xiaocui quietly retreated while there were many people.
*
ββ¦β¦ Okay, you're all grown up, aren't you? Is there any etiquette for a noble girl, and the teachings of the elders have been eaten into the dog's belly? Do you know how to be polite and honest......
"I'm so......"
Duchess Anguo, who has always been dignified and graceful, pointed to the few people kneeling below and scolded bitterly. The words are sharp, and he looks like he hates iron but not steel, and he is completely angry with the rhythm.
The old lady was angry, and others naturally didn't dare to interject, until she was tired and half leaned on the gum and looked out of breath, and the second lady Zheng stepped forward to help her smooth out her breath and comforted: "Ah Jia, don't be angry with your body." β
In addition to the Zheng family, the Cui family was also there, and she looked at Xiao Jiuniang and the others with a cold face, "Let's talk about it, what made you fight in the mansion regardless of your face!" β
"Say, tell me, I want to see who gave you the guts!" Duchess An Guo said heartbrokenly.
Xiao Liuniang and Xiao Qiniang spoke one after another, and said the general story of the matter, naturally they missed Xiao Liuniang's verbal scolding of Jiuniang, and put all the responsibility on Jiuniang, saying that she was a mad dog, and she beat up several sisters at a little quarrel.
After a while, Duchess An Guo had calmed down, she sat up straight, looked at Jiu Niang with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "Jiu Niang, what they said is true?" β
Therefore, many times people's circumstances change because of their identity and the forces behind them. In her previous life, Jiu Niang had never encountered this kind of situation, but no one would ask her, and she was not even given a chance to speak, but a big hat was buttoned down, and various reprimands and punishments followed. It is rare for Duchess An Guo to suppress her anger this time and leave Jiuniang room to speak.
"Half of it is true, and half of it is not."
Jiu Niang's expression was calm and there was a hint of anger, and she told the three of them what she had missed, and at the same time she also told her what had happened in the Guozi Prison in the past few days, including the malice and slander in those rumors.
Therefore, Xiao Liuxiao and Xiao Qi have a bad view of the overall situation, and anyone who has a little bit of a big picture will not use this method of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred to attack the sisters of the same race, you must know that everyone has the same surname Xiao, and if one person's reputation is ruined, others will be good? !
Especially the reason why these elders of the Xiao family value their daughters in the family is that they will use them to marry to strengthen the family power in the future, and Xiao Liuniang and a few people are not bad at attacking Jiuniang, but they forgot the 'general trend'.
Will the Duchess of Anguo allow her daughter in the family to become infamous? Especially the value attached to Jiuniang herself, even the Duchess of An Guo and the Zheng family of Cui's have to hold her and coax her on weekdays, but they have been destroyed by someone, can this person who destroys it get rid of it? !
Sure enough, after listening to Jiu Niang's account, Duchess Anguo's face suddenly sank.
"Ask my grandmother and two aunts to be the masters, Jiu Niang suffered such an unwarranted disaster, and she simply didn't have the face to see people again. When she met a few people during this school break, Xiao Liuniang made insulting remarks, and Jiuniang was really angry before she made a move. β
"You're lying! We didn't ruin your reputation, the rumors have nothing to do with us! Xiao Liuniang retorted, her face was red and swollen, and she looked really wolf.
Jiuniang glanced at her, and then looked at Duchess An Guo, "Please grandmother Mingjian!" β
Therefore, there is no cure for stupidity, Xiao Jiuniang was fine in the Guozijian, and Xiao Liuniang and the others added to the turmoil as soon as they went. And that kind of private thing is not what the people in his own house say, how can outsiders know.
And the rumors say that Jiuniang is a fake concubine, and Xiao Liuniang is the real phoenix, this comparison is a humiliation, but don't forget, it is also a kind of evidence.
It has nothing to do with you, and will you be compared? It's not that I want to suppress Xiao Jiuniang on the one hand, and elevate myself on the other.
So there is no need to verify, Duchess An Guo and Cui's Zheng also know who the culprit is.
In fact, Xiao Liuniang was also a little wronged, and the rumors that slandered Jiuniang were indeed released by them, but the words about this fake concubine and the real phoenix were not what they said. They didn't know that there was a secret hand behind this whole thing, and under the impetus of the incident, they dug a big hole for Xiao Liuniang, even if the incident happened one day, it had nothing to do with the other party, and they would naturally be blamed on Xiao Liuniang.
Duchess An Guo looked at Xiao Liuniang with a stupid face, and she didn't know what to say.
Although this granddaughter is a concubine, and she is also from her favorite youngest son, the Duchess of Anguo has never liked her. Without him, it is all because Xiao Liuniang has a mother like the county lord of Chaoxia.
Duchess An Guo didn't like her at all, looking at the added value of her identity, coupled with her good looks, she treated Xiao Liuniang a little kindly on weekdays. But now that she has been taught to be like this, and she is extremely stupid, in addition to a feeling of hatred for iron and steel, there is also an extra layer of disgust.
Duchess An Guo frowned, and was about to say something, when there was a commotion outside the door.
I saw the county lord of Chaoxia walking in violently, and there were many maidservants behind him. There were also a few flustered maidservants who came in on the side, they were the subordinates of An Rongyuan, it seemed that the county lord of Chaoxia had broken in, and he was not even willing to wait for the report.
After the county lord of Chaoxia came in, he first saw his beloved baby daughter kneeling on the ground, and her cheeks were red and swollen, and she suddenly showed a touch of fierceness in her beautiful eyes, and she came straight to Jiuniang.
