==Chapter 103==
At this time, there was silence on the field, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone looked at the girl standing in front of them, and then looked at the woman huddled in the quilt on the bed. Since Xiao Jiuniang is here, who is the person who will do ugly things with others?
Xiao Jiuniang looked at the county lord of Chaoxia who was sad and sad in front of her with a puzzled face, she and this person have been opponents for two lives, this is the only time that the other party has shown his concern for himself, it is actually on such an occasion, and he also hides such a thought, which really makes people laugh and sigh.
She went to see Mrs. Wang again.
Mrs. Wang's face was shocked, and there was a slight stiffness, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she had seen a ghost.
Isn't she a ghost? The evil ghost who crawled back from hell, I didn't expect to avoid it in this life, and I didn't want to pursue it anymore, and these two people calculated her again. After all, it's fate, you can't avoid it, you can't retreat, since that's the case, then let's fight.
Jiu Niang couldn't help but wonder if these two people knew who the woman on the bed was, would their eyes be shocked?!
The strategy was set before, Jiuniang naturally would not be soft, everyone else was beating gongs and drums and preparing to sing a big show, she naturally couldn't let go of the opportunity to add bricks and tiles, the so-called everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, but that's it.
"Xiao Jiuniang, why are you here?" The county lord of Chaoxia pointed at Jiuniang and said sharply, looking very surprised.
Somehow, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang, as her own sister, couldn't wait to block the mouth of the county lord of Chaoxia. Since things have changed suddenly, it is natural to cover up the past is the right way, she doesn't care who the woman on the bed is, what she should do now is to send all the people present, so as not to cause trouble. And her stupid sister said this, didn't she show her original form? Could it be that as a mother-in-law, she wishes that something would happen to Xiao Jiuniang, instead of standing here? !
"Where does Mother think Jiu Niang should be?"
Jiu Niang still looked puzzled, as if she couldn't figure out the current situation.
But she doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that the other people in the Xiàn field don't understand either, I said that these ladies are all human spirits, and after thinking about the past and the future, she guessed in her mind.
It turned out that the falling water was fake, and it was also fake to bring them to ask Xiao Jiuniang, and it was true that such a play ruined Xiao Jiuniang's reputation, otherwise why would these two people sit and sing and perform such a play.
Let's just say it, I have long heard that the county lord of Chaoxia is jealous, and he is extremely intolerant of the concubines around his husband Xiao Hang, and even the concubines can't tolerate it, let alone those concubines. I haven't seen her take her daughter out for a long time, but today it is unprecedented, it turned out to be for this, and fortunately, this Xiao Jiuniang was lucky, and somehow escaped this catastrophe.
For a while, most of the people at the scene flickered their eyes, looked at Mrs. Wang's face, and then stared at the county lord of Chaoxia, with an ambiguous look on their faces.
A little lady with a round face and a shrewd face said loudly: "That's right, Li Zhaoxia, where do you think your daughter should be?" Do you wish she to—"
The rest of the words, this person did not say, but they caused infinite reverie among everyone.
This noble lady's name is Liu Shuwan, and she has always been at odds with the lord of Chaoxia. If you trace the source of its discord, it has to involve the contradiction between the two mothers, the mother of the county lord of Chaoxia is Princess Changping, and Liu Shuwan's mother is also a princess, and her title is Anping.
It is said that they are all princesses, but the princess and the princess are also divided into three, six and nine, Princess Changping and Emperor Chengyuan are compatriots, which are from the former emperor and concubine, and Liu Shuwan's mother is from the first emperor and concubine, and he also has a sibling, who is King Heng. In those years, several kings won the throne, King Wei won, King Heng was defeated, Princess Anping and Princess Changping were on par, but this time there was an elder brother who was the emperor, and the tide naturally rose. And Princess Anping was overshadowed by having a brother who was demoted to a concubine, although it did not affect herself.
These two were rivals before they got married, after the defeat of King Heng, Princess Anping naturally hated the brother and sister who took away her brother's great cause, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Princess Anping also knew the proportions, on the surface, she was respectful to Emperor Chengyuan, and she retreated from Princess Changping, but her descendants were never like this.
However, the family is not brainless, and the big disaster is never provoked, at most, it is to stimulate the other party a little in some small places. And Princess Anping didn't marry badly back then, although the Liu family is not as good as King Cui Zheng Xiao's big families, it is also a famous family, even if Princess Changping wants to retaliate, she has to weigh whether Emperor Chengyuan agrees or not, and whether it is cost-effective.
Therefore, the heirs of Princess Anping are like a toad crawling on the upper of her shoes for Princess Changping. If I don't bite you, I don't do anything to you, I just disgust you, what can you do with me? This time, Liu Shuwan caught the shortcomings of the county lord of Chaoxia, and naturally spared no effort to block it.
That's right, this Xiao Jiuniang is not here, where do you think you should be as a mother-in-law? Is there really something that makes you happy?
Although the ladies on the side did not say anything, they all expressed themselves like this.
The county lord of Chaoxia gritted his teeth with hatred, clenched his fists under his sleeves, and Mrs. Wang was also very annoyed by Xiao Jiuniang's ignorance, as well as Liu Shuwan's nothingness. But the matter has come to this point, there are many mistakes to say, and if there is any grievance, you can only swallow it, so as not to add right and wrong. Mrs. Wang has always been cautious, so she naturally didn't want to find trouble, so she pulled the county lord of Chaoxia from the side and warned her not to make a sound.
Mrs. Wang stepped forward, took Jiu Niang's hand, and smiled very enthusiastically.
"Isn't your mother worried about you? Everyone wanted to ask you about the water just now, but they didn't know that they encountered such a scene. Your mother, she was so anxious that something would happen to you, and she was naturally relieved to see that you were safe and sound. ”
She just pulled Jiuniang to appease, and did not answer Liu Shuwan's words, which is obviously a good means. Xiao Jiuniang had dealt with this person countless times in her previous life, so she naturally understood his temperament.
If it was a normal time, she would naturally take the ladder by pushing the boat, but she didn't come to fight with people today, but a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
If it weren't for her alertness and the experience of her previous life to be able to recognize medicine, she would have been knocked down to the eighteenth layer of hell and would never be able to turn over. Jiu Niang had encountered countless dangers similar to this one in her previous life, and she survived with caution, dexterity and ruthlessness. During this period, the methods of the two people in front of her are indispensable, at this time, the new hatred and old hatred are added together, if she will let it go lightly, she will not be Xiao Jiuniang.
"What kind of scene?"
Jiu Niang made the abnormal appearance of the bed, and she blushed in a low voice. At first, she was shy, and then she turned into complete irritation, which can be seen from the changes in her face and eyes.
"Who are you? Why is this look here! Jiuniang waved away Mrs. Wang's hand, pointed at Wang Zuyao, who was still cramped in place, her face was blue and red, red and blue, and she looked at the situation on the bed again, and suddenly her face was red, and her eyes were overflowing with tears.
"I was in this room before, and I was bathing, but the maid said to go and get my clothes for me. I saw that the water was cold and I was afraid of catching a cold, so I had to get up and put on wet clothes and go to look for someone, but there was no one in the whole courtyard, so I had no choice but to go out and find ......."
Jiuniang cried, and everyone turned their eyes on her, seeing that her clothes were indeed a little indecent, some places were fine, and some places were wet on her body, and her hair was also wet. Combined with Fang Cai's situation and what Xiao Jiuniang said, everyone suddenly pieced together the following for the story that was pieced together before.
It turned out that the reason why Xiao Jiuniang escaped this catastrophe was because she was thrown by the maidservant to soak in cold water, this little lady had just fallen into the water, and she was afraid of catching a cold, so she got up and called someone. Everyone knew that if it weren't for this, I am afraid that the woman on the bed at this time would be Xiao Jiuniang at this time.
Good and vicious, good and bad heart!
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the faces of Mrs. Wang and the county lord of Chaoxia.
Mrs. Wang and the county lord of Chaoxia are sisters, and the person who tarnished the innocence of the unknown woman is the descendant of the Wang family. What else is not clear? It must be that the county lord of Chaoxia can't tolerate this daughter, and conspired with his sister to plan this out, wanting to ruin Xiao Jiuniang's innocence and ruining the second half of the other party's life, everyone knows that Xiao Jiuniang is now the top among the daughters of the Xiao family, and I have the identity of a county lord, and the marriage will not be bad in the future.
Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say at this time, and she didn't have anything to say, she only knew that things had developed to the current situation, and it would definitely not be good. Not only can't she get out of it, but the Wang family can't get out of it, and the same is true for her own sister, and the Xiao family will definitely not give up lightly, the Wang family must give the other party an explanation to the world, otherwise the whole family will not be able to go out to meet people in the future......
As soon as she thought of the qiē she would face in the future, Mrs. Wang felt a sense of dizziness, her face was blue and red, and she wished to faint on the spot.
But she can't faint, she is the eldest lady of the Wang family's housekeeper, and the family handed over this matter to her to handle, not to mention that it was done at this time, and she also poked such a big leak, several younger siblings have been eyeing her housekeeper's power, and she can't give the other party this opportunity.
"Jiu Niang, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter...... she said dryly, turned around and scolded Wang Zuyao: "You come to sue me, why did you appear here, who allowed you to appear here!" Wang Zuyao, you have always behaved debauched, but you are not from our big house, and I, as an aunt, are not easy to discipline too much, but you should never have made this matter at the old lady's birthday banquet, how can you let the eldest aunt explain to the old lady! ”
Wang Zuyao had already fainted at this time, and he couldn't wait to disappear on the spot. Although he is mediocre, he is not ignorant, what he wants to be bad is Xiao Jiuniang's innocence, but there is a Xiao Jiuniang out of thin air here, and he must have mistaken the object.
"Auntie, I'm ......"
Wang Zuyao really didn't know what to say, and he couldn't find an excuse. Seeing Mrs. Wang say this, he also realized that the other party wanted to carry this black cauldron, but he was also very afraid of death, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his life. The wealthy family has always paid attention to reputation, and for this reason, it is not that no children in the clan have been sacrificed, he is still young, and he is reluctant to die.
For this reason, Wang Zuyao just snorted, but did not answer Mrs. Wang's words.
Mrs. Wang wanted to kill this Wang Zuyao on the spot at this time, but she could only endure it, hoping that he would be able to take over the matter.
Wang Zuda's dazzling eyes grunted, and he pointed to the woman on the bed and said, "It was this maid who seduced me, yes, she seduced me......"
But no one will believe his words, it's obviously a pretext.
"Mrs. Wang, you are really, why bother to embarrass a junior." Liu Shuwan's face was full of sarcasm, half-concealed and smiled, pointing out that Mrs. Wang wanted to pull the juniors to carry the black cauldron.
A sneer crossed Jiu Niang's eyes, and she struck while the iron was hot: "I also heard a few words outside, aunt, you and your mother all think that the person on the bed is me, Jiu Niang thanks you for your 'maintenance', but if I didn't happen to appear, wouldn't this basin just buckle on my head." When the time comes, everyone will disperse, and it will only be me Xiao Jiuniang who has done something ugly......"
Yes, if everyone listened to what Mrs. Wang said and left, this Xiao Jiuniang would not be but.
It's really vicious, this ring is a ring, and it is completely ulterior motives.
Jiuniang cried like a complaint, both heartbroken and grief-stricken, "You are trying to force me to death!" Since you all say that I am the one who did the ugly thing, I want to see who this servant girl who seduces the prince of the royal family is—"
As soon as the words fell, Jiu Niang quickly stepped forward and lifted the thin quilt covering the woman's head and face. Everyone was shocked by her action, and with Jiu Niang's movements, the half-hidden woman on the bed also revealed her true face.
It turned out to be Xiao Liuniang.
All of a sudden, the sound of a cold breath was endless.
Different from Xiao Jiuniang, Xiao Liuniang appeared at the banquets of the major wealthy families with the lord of Chaoxia since she was a child, and her face was naturally known to everyone, even if she only showed half of her face with shame and anger at this time, everyone recognized who she was.
"Oh my God, it's Xiao Liuniang!"
Liu Shuwan's words woke everyone up.
"Xiao Jiuniang, what do you want to do!"
Xiao Liuniang was so angry and annoyed that she couldn't hold back her voice anymore.
She fainted, but in a daze, she felt a pain in her body, and then fell into a heat wave. She has been in a state of sleep, sleep, and wake-up, until everyone broke in, and the whole person completely woke up, but when she woke up, it was too late, her body was dirty, and she was caught red-handed, she could only hide in the quilt in fear and didn't dare to move, not to mention the complicated taste in her heart.
I wanted to wait for everyone to leave, and then tear up this hooligan who dared to offend her, but these people didn't leave, and they were exposed on the spot......
Xiao Liuniang's brain was blank at this time, her face was like ashes, she knew that she was finished.
As soon as she heard this voice, the whole person of the county lord of Chaoxia froze, she rushed forward as if she was crazy, waved Xiao Jiuniang away, and pulled the person on the bed to look.
At first glance, it turned out to be his daughter.
Her face was contorted, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.
"Mother......
Xiao Liuniang cried and cried wrapped in the quilt, and got off to help the county lord of Chaoxia, looking extremely pitiful, but no one thought she was pitiful at this time.
Mrs. Wang's heart ached, and even if the sky fell at this time, she would not be surprised. Things are already like this, and nothing can be done to save them, Mrs. Wang simply broke the jar and broke it, and said in a sad voice: "Everyone, the old lady in the house celebrates her birthday today, and everyone should not stay here longer!" ”
Her face was cold, and the light in her eyes seemed to want to devour people, this scene has been watched, although there is still some fun, but it is not suitable to make a stiff fight with the Wang family like this, and the ladies will no longer stay longer, and they all leave with a sneering face, anyway, today's events are enough for them to talk about tea after cooking recently.
"Mrs. Wang, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!"
Jiuniang struck another blow, and Mrs. Wang looked at her fiercely.
Jiu Niang didn't pay attention to it, hooked her lips, turned around and left with everyone.
*
Before Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet was over, the whole thing spread among the crowd who came to congratulate her birthday.
Old Madam Wang sat in the first place, still with a loving smile on her face, but anyone could see the stiffness in this smile, presumably what happened in Bixia's residence was already known to her.
The royal palace held a birthday banquet for Mrs. Wang, which was supposed to be something worth celebrating, but I never thought that this birthday banquet would be held like this. Although the birthday banquet continued, everyone in the Wang family knew that once the birthday banquet was over, what had just happened would spread throughout Chang'an City, and the Wang family would become the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an City.
The mistake is that the Wang family is too confident, and they actually chose to design Xiao Jiuniang at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wang, whether they are confident that this game will definitely trap Xiao Jiuniang, or they are confident that no matter what happens, it is in their control. Whatever you think, it turns out that people do not die without doing it.
Jiuniang did not stay in the Wang family, and after leaving Bixiaju, she went directly back to Anguo Mansion.
She naturally went back to complain, and she fell into the well, she has never done this kind of thing before, especially the object of the fall is the county lord of Chaoxia and Xiao Liuniang, and she spares no effort.
Jiuniang cried in front of Duchess Anguo, and told all the ins and outs of the matter, in fact, even if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be long before the Xiao family would know. But she is Xiao Jiuniang, a little lady who has not yet reached the end of her life, and when she encounters this kind of filthy thing, she shouldn't go home to the elders to cry and complain.
Duchess Anguo didn't know what to say, that is, she was angry that the county lord of Chaoxia did not repent of designing Jiuniang, and even did not hesitate to bet on the reputation of the Xiao family, and also lamented that Xiao Liuniang's luck was too bad. But no matter what, while the Wang family is embarrassed, the Xiao family can't run away, although it is as a bitter master, but because the county lord of Chaoxia is the mastermind, he is cocooned and self-bound, and he has harmed himself without harming others, which has been deeply imprinted on the faces of the Xiao family.
What a shame, a shame!
At the same time, she also developed a sense of jealousy towards Jiu Niang, although the whole thing was deliberately guided to be rounded, but if you think about it carefully, you can feel the clue-
Since the design is Xiao Jiuniang, why did Xiao Liuniang appear on the spot so coincidentally and take the blame for Xiao Jiuniang? This is the biggest doubt.
Of course, it can also be said that Xiao Liuniang was too unlucky, and she would suffer this catastrophe by chance, but Duchess Anguo was an old man, and she knew that although Jiuniang had always been low-key, the county lord of Chaoxia wanted to deal with her more than once or twice. Since Xiao Jiuniang came out, except for being harassed by the county lord of Chaoxia for two days at the beginning, she has never suffered a loss in her hands. I dodged it once, I dodged it twice, I can dodge it every time, and I never fall behind, I have to say that this is a kind of ability.
Duchess An Guo is nearly eighty percent sure that Xiao Jiuniang must have done something in this matter.
But Jiu Niang didn't say it, she naturally wouldn't ask, this is a tacit understanding, everyone understands.
It wasn't until late at night that the county lord of Chaoxia took Xiao Liuniang back to the house, and after returning to the house, she closed the door of Chongyue Pavilion, and Chongyue Pavilion never stopped all night, and the sound of 'crackling' smashing things sounded all night.
But everyone in the Xiao family knows that this matter is not over yet.
*
On the other side, the Wang family.
The birthday banquet lasted until it was dark, and it was supposed to last until the night. But such a big thing happened in the palace, and everyone was in no mood.
In the ornately decorated hall, Mrs. Wang sat in the first place, her face stiff with a hint of anger. On her side sat the two uncles Wang Jinhong and Wang Jinxiang in the lower right position, and on the lower two sides sat several family members and wives in each room of the Wang family, and Wang Zuyao was also there, kneeling in the center of the hall, and the whole situation of the first and third halls was tried.
The Wang family is a big family, not to mention the hometown of Taiyuan, where there are also nearly four generations of ancestors and grandchildren living in the palace. Among them, the room where Mrs. Wang is located is a large room, and Wang Jinhong and Wang Jinxiang are two rooms and three rooms respectively.
The vein of the big house is divided into four rooms, among which Wang Hu, the head of the Wang family, is the eldest son of this generation, that is, the eldest son of the Wang family, and deserves to serve as the head of the Wang family after the death of his father. Mrs. Wang is his wife, and the two are pregnant with two sons and a daughter, including the eldest son Wang Dalang Wang Su, the second son Wang Shilang Wang Ling, and the seventh mother Wang Yan'er. The second room of Erlang Junqu and the second lady of Wang have a son and two daughters, namely Wang Sanlang Wang Han, Wang Banniang and Wang Shisanniang, and the other three rooms and four rooms are also populous, which can be described as luxuriant.
This is only the vein of the big house, Wang Jinhong and Wang Jinxiang are now also grandfathers, and there are countless heirs in the following generations, and now these three rooms are entrenched in the palace, the palace seems to occupy a large area, but so many people are crowded together and it is also full.
Back to the topic, after the birthday banquet, the Wang family gathered here and discussed the ugly thing that happened before.
In the meantime, the incident was also asked in great detail, no matter what, the Wang family was planted this time, although it did not hurt the muscles and bones, it was also a loss of face.
Several ladies in the second room, three bedrooms and four rooms took the opportunity to fall into the trap for Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang was not a vegetarian, so she naturally fought back, and in the end, the blame was attributed to Xiao Jiuniang, if it weren't for this person's insidiousness and cunning, the Wang family would not have lost such a big face.
Therefore, these people, no matter how bright and upright he is on the surface, what happens will only push it on others, but he will not reflect on it, and the Wang family does not want to think about how it would happen if it weren't for their sinister mind and calculating Xiao Jiuniang. Of course, Wang Zuyao can't get away with the guilt, if he wasn't too stupid and didn't recognize people, how could he stab such a big Lou Zi.
"Sister-in-law, if something happens, don't just push it on our four rooms, this matter was discussed before it was handed over to your big room, and the other rooms are just helping. This incident was revealed, you grabbed us in the fourth room, but bullying me, who is a younger brother, is a soft person? King Shiro of the Wang family said with squinted eyes.
If you do something else, no matter how much Wang Zheng loves this concubine Wang Zuyao, he will not go against Mrs. Wang clearly, but now he is not unsuccessful, it is useless to say more, since Wang Zuyao has tarnished Xiao Liuniang's innocence, then needless to say, for the sake of the face of the two families, this matter must also be settled.
As for how to be round, do you need to say?
Before the county lord of Chaoxia left, although he spit on the four-room clam/toad of the Wang family and wanted to eat swan meat, it didn't matter if he was □□ or what, it was his ability to get swan meat. This matter was originally a matter of the big house, Wang Yan'er sent a message back to say that Emperor Chengyuan intended to give the Xiao family's Jiuniang to the prince as a side concubine, although the matter was temporarily stopped, but the Wang family did not want to take this risk. In view of the suspicion between the county lord of Chaoxia and Xiao Jiuniang, the two sisters of Mrs. Wang planned this out.
The whole thing is also known to the Wang family, and they all agree, before the accident, they are hello, I am hello, everyone, no one wants to take the responsibility for this accident.
In fact, Wang Zheng is not wrong to say this, it is the love of the four rooms to help you, and it is the duty not to help, but he completely forgot that he knew that he could get a noble daughter as a daughter-in-law, and they robbed this good thing in the four rooms, and the sister-in-law was reluctant to take it out and lose this face, so he cheapened Wang Zuyao as a concubine.
Although things are on business now, Xiao Jiuniang and Xiao Liuniang are no different from the fourth room, and even more suitable in their minds, you must know that this Xiao Liuniang is a concubine, there is a county lord's mother and a grandmother who is a princess, once she has such a family affair, the fourth room that has been on the dwarf side of the Wang family will stand out.
Wang Zheng made a look of grievance, how could Mrs. Wang not understand his dirty thoughts, and her teeth were crooked with hatred.
But the innocence of her niece was ruined in the hands of Wang Zuyao, and the matter had not yet been discussed, so she could only endure it. It's just that she spit on all the people in the four rooms in her heart, and the words she scolded are naturally the same as those of the county lord of Chaoxia, and the clam/toad wants to eat swan meat and so on.
Wang Hu naturally wouldn't let his younger brother squeeze his wife, he reprimanded with a straight face: "Fourth, you give me a few words, I know what you mean, but this matter was discussed by everyone at the beginning, why did you do this, it is also for the future of the Wang family." Now that you have a business trip, everyone is unwilling, your sister-in-law will definitely not give up, and she is also depressed now, why do you need to compare with her. ”
Wang Zheng muttered something in his mouth, but he didn't say anything again. He also knew that if he wanted to do what he wanted in his heart, he would have to get through to Mrs. Guò Wang.
"Okay, you all don't have to say a word, what should we do now?" Old Madam Wang said.
Wang Jinxiang stroked his beard: "For today's plan, we can only make mistakes, for the sake of the face of the two families, presumably the Xiao family should cooperate with us." ”
Wang Jinxiang's meaning is very obvious, then let Wang Zuyao and Xiao Liuniang get married, and when the time comes, find an excuse to say that the two are happy with each other, so they can't help but have a personal relationship for a while. Although in this way, the Wang family and the Xiao family are still very embarrassed, but it is better than Xiao Jiuniang, the designer of the Wang family, who is not successful, but loses face.
The only thing the Wang family is happy about now is that because there is a Chaoxia county lord during the period, everyone is focused on her. According to outsiders, it was because the lord of Chaoxia County couldn't tolerate this concubine that he would do this with his own sister, not because of other things.
Emperor Chengyuan deliberately wanted to give Xiao Jiuniang to the prince as a side concubine, this matter was very secret, and outsiders did not know about it, otherwise the matter was linked, that is, Emperor Chengyuan was right, and the Wang family did not want to die.
But can this be done?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Mrs. Wang's face.
