Chapter 119: Dependence
After An returned home with the four sisters, he went to Fuxi Hall to see the old lady and told him about today's incident.
The old lady listened all the way, her expression fluctuated greatly, and after An Shi finished speaking in one breath, her face was even more gloomy.
first instructed Mama Song to prepare a gift to visit Wang's house and inquire about Wang Zichen's current situation, and then quietly looked at the few people who went out today. Seeing that Qin Lianwei was very nervous, the old lady asked sharply, "Sister Pian, you said that Xiu'er asked you to invite Sister Yi to see the flowers?" ā
Qin Lian peeked at Jinxiu, saw her sitting on the side expressionlessly, swallowed her saliva, and said with difficulty, "...... Grandmother, Li'er didn't dare to lie, it was indeed embroidered sister yƬ. ā
The old lady looked at Jinxiu coldly, waiting for her to speak.
Jinxiu's face was a little pale, and her once delicate red lips now looked dull. She gritted her teeth, but her body still sat upright.
At several banquets during the New Year's Festival, she became familiar with Wang Zichen and others. Through the mouths of those women who were jealous and hateful to Qin Jinyi, they wantonly slandered her reputation.
After the post of this lake tour came down, she came up with this idea to Wang Zichen.
Thinking of this, Jinxiu secretly hated Huan Yuanyuan for calling herself over in public today, so that she couldn't get rid of the relationship at the moment. Last time, I replaced the cutting of Qiuluo with Jin Fenghua, but I had my mother on top of it, and I still didn't know about it......
Seeing that the old lady's gaze was getting colder and colder, Jinxiu had no choice but to say bitterly: "I just asked Li'er to look at the two pots of flowers, why did the boat fence suddenly break." I don't know why. ā¦ā¦ Miss Wang has long been at odds with her eldest sister, and the boat belongs to hers. It was she who wanted to harm the eldest sister that made people do something. I really have nothing to do with it. ā
The old lady snorted softly, "Then Miss Wang fell into the water, and she also fell down by herself?" ā
Jinxiu's eyes were red, and she couldn't help crying quietly, "I couldn't hold her at the time, my clothes were torn......"
An couldn't help but speak, "Sister Xiu'er, many people saw you breaking her fingers at that time, and others didn't blame you for this." ā¦ā¦ But the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will not stop. ā
Jinxiu's heart was furious, and she couldn't help but say loudly: "Do you want me to fall into the water with her?" It's obvious that her boat is not strong, so why should I blame it? ā
The old lady slammed the armrest, "Shut up, y'all!" ā
Although the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is not as good as that of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is not much different. Although I didn't have a close relationship with his family in the past, I was always safe, but if I really have a grudge today, I don't know how it will end in the future.
The old lady was angry in her heart, she had worked hard for decades just to take care of the reputation of the Qin family. Who knows that now the generation is not as good as the generation, and these children and grandchildren have no regard for their reputation and face for their own selfish interests.
"I thought Sister Xiu'er, you were a person who knew self-denial and etiquette." The old lady said bitterly, "Look at you now. Or your mother didn't raise you well. I don't know how much evil you will bring to your family by what you do today,...... If it weren't for Jin Xuan and Sister Yi who rescued her. Presumably now the Wang family has come to the door. ā
Speaking of this, the old lady pointed at Jin Yi and said to her, "You still don't want to thank your eldest sister now?" ā
Jin Yi sat with her head down. Silent.
Qin Jinxiu bit her lower lip tightly, and the expression on her face changed. Half an hour later. She stood up and walked to the old lady and said softly, "Xiu'er wants to ask the old ancestor to borrow a step to speak." ā
The old lady looked at her suspiciously for a while, and finally waved her hand, signaling everyone else to wait in the East Pavilion first.
After everyone withdrew, Jinxiu spoke softly, "The queen's choice of a concubine for the crown prince, there has been news in the palace, and Xiu'er has been designated as a side concubine." This matter was sued by the people of the Huan family, and there is no doubt about it. ā
Since she found out about this, she didn't plan to tell her family immediately, but waited for the edict to be issued, and then to see how the family's attitude towards her changed. Only in this way can those who previously despised themselves be more awe-inspired, and redress for the humiliation they have suffered.
But I can't take care of it now, since I have torn my face with Qin Jinyi, and then let myself go to her and thank her in a low voice, I can't do it anyway.
The old lady couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when she heard this, although she was not the crown prince and concubine, but it was also a matter of glorious lintel. On the eve of the palace banquet, after hearing that the queen originally wanted Jinyi, not Jinxiu, the old lady had no hope for the princess, but she didn't expect that Jinxiu was really a blessed person.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but soften her face, and asked again, "When did you find out about this?" Why didn't you sue me sooner? ā
Jinxiu saw her attitude change, and her heart was even more resentful, but her tone became more and more supple, "I only found out in the past few days." ā
After a pause, he continued: "Ancestor,...... As for my mother's affairs, since there is no real evidence, if she is saddled with such a reputation, I am afraid that the palace will know about it......"
"It's natural, and you can't let that affect your reputation." Old lady interface. She pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiu'er, you will enter the palace in the future, and you must not act willfully like you now, you must know that your future body alone will lead the lives of our whole family." ā
Jinxiu sneered in her heart, and her face regained a touch of arrogance, and she bowed her head slightly, "Xiu'er knows." ā
When everyone returned to the main hall, they all found that the old lady's attitude had changed greatly, and there was no longer the anger and sorrow just now, and she was even kinder to Jinxiu than before.
Jin Yi's heart moved slightly, she had already guessed something, and she couldn't help but sneer secretly.
What Jinxiu relies on most in her heart is the good future of the crown princess and concubine, as long as she moves this out, the old lady will no longer rely on her.
Sure enough, the old lady instructed Ziyue, "Go and invite all the ladies over." ā
Ziyue agreed, hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Then, ...... the second lady?" ā
"She has copied so many Buddhist scriptures in her room, she must be in a sincere mood, so please come too."
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone in the room was surprised, which meant that the Xu family was no longer grounded.
An secretly said strangely in his heart, Jinxiu broke into such a big disaster today, even if it was good to be unpunished, how could even her mother be released?
After a while, everyone came.
The Lin family also heard about the things on the ship today, and when they heard that the old lady had summoned, they hurriedly brought Qin Xiang to see the excitement.
The fourth lady Xie came over with Jinchen, and before she entered the door, she met Xu's face, her complexion was fresh, her clothes were bright, and she walked into the hall with the two big girls of Xiangzhi and Guilan with her head held high, without even looking at herself.
She was both suspicious and resentful in her heart, and she followed in a little bewildered.
When the old lady said that Jinxiu had been designated as the prince's side concubine, everyone had different expressions.
After Xu Shi greeted the old lady, he sat quietly in the first chair. At this time, looking at the changes in everyone's expressions, the depression of the past ten days in my heart was swept away.
She turned her head and smiled at Jinyi. (To be continued.) )
