Chapter 128: Despair
After Jiang Mi returned to the house, she sat in front of the mirror in a daze, trembling.
The three mothers stood behind her, Mother Gong was about to speak several times, but was stopped by Mother Gui, and Mother Li looked at Jiang Mi with a little disapproval in her eyes.
Jiang Mi was cold, really cold.
I don't know how long it took, but she said in a low trembling voice, "You go out." β
The three mothers looked at each other, and finally retreated obediently, and thoughtfully closed the door for her.
As soon as a few people retreated, Jiang Mi immediately ran to the corner and curled up, her whole body was shivering from the cold, Jiang Mi took her fingers in her mouth and sucked, and found that her eyes were dry, and there were no tears at all!
Jiang Mi has been hiding for most of the day, and the three mothers also know that it is useless to persuade her now, so they stopped the servants outside, so no one has disturbed her.
Half a day later, Jiang Mi slowly recovered, she stood up staggering against the wall, seeing that her face in the bronze mirror was still very ugly, she patted her face with both hands, and finally became a little ruddy, Jiang Mi slowly combed her hair again.
She combed her hair and changed her clothes, every movement slow. Finally, through these actions, Jiang Mi felt that he could speak like a normal person.
Jiang Mi pushed open the door.
Seeing her walk out as usual, the three mothers showed happy and satisfied expressions at the same time.
Jiang Mi went down the steps, and when she passed by the three mothers, she didn't look at them as dependently as usual, but ordered in a low voice, "You stay here, I'll walk around." β
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Mi slowly entered the boulevard.
Sure enough, after a while, she saw Cui Ziying coming from the fork in the road.
"Ziying!" Jiang Mi's voice was a little hoarse. A little weak, when Cui Ziying looked back impatiently, Jiang Mi walked slowly in front of her.
Jiang Mi looked at Cui Ziying with wide eyes, and asked in a dumb voice, "Ziying, do you know when Cui Zixuan will come back?" β
Cui Ziying glanced her up and down, and said angrily: "When will your own husband come back, why do you want to ask me?" β
Jiang Mi was dumbfounded.
Seeing Cui Ziying impatiently turn around and leave. Jiang Mi's voice was raised and he called: "Ziying." β
After calling Cui Ziying. Jiang Mi didn't speak. Just as Cui Ziying looked impatiently, Jiang Mi stammered: "I was on the street just now." When I met a Taiyuan Wang's daughter, the concubine ......" said incoherently, Jiang Mi saw Cui Ziying's expression becoming more and more impatient, and she bit her lower lip. asked in a low voice: "She said that Cui Lang will get married in three months......"
Cui Ziying finally understood what she wanted to say. Also. This person has always been radiant, soft and happy, and it is rare to see her so fragile as she is today. She originally thought that this woman was worried about her husband, but she didn't expect it to be because of this.
At that moment, Cui Ziying smiled mockingly. She nodded, "yes." My Boling Cui clan has always been married to the other six clans of the five surnames and seven sects, and my brother's original fiancΓ©es were all the daughters of the Taiyuan Wang family. β
Seeing Jiang Mi's big misty eyes looking at him in a daze, Cui Ziying smiled evilly: "What? You don't understand? That is true. Now my brother is the greatest genius of the five clans and seven sects, and the other six sects marry their concubines to their elder brother as concubines. It was the result of everyone's deliberations. Seeing Jiang Mi's pale face, she grinned again: "Although those women are just concubines, it also depends on whose concubines they are, right?" Subordinate to a wife like you, even their family is disgraced. The meaning of the family was originally to marry the six concubines to their brother at the same time, but who made your brother value you and resolutely refused? After scrambling, everyone can only take a step back and let them be concubines. β
Cui Ziying was still laughing and talking, her speech was very fast, and she was still laughing as she spoke, but Jiang Mi listened to it, but she couldn't hear her words clearly.
Cui Ziying couldn't help but stop talking when she saw Jiang Mi's face turned pale like that. She frowned and stared at Jiang Mi sternly, and admonished, "What, you still don't want to?" The surname is Jiang, do you think about what you have to like? Do you have a family background? Or do you have money? Or do you have a knack for making people look at themselves? You were originally an orphan girl in the countryside who had nothing, and even the name of the princess was casually sealed by the emperor of Shu, if it weren't for my brother's several shots, you wouldn't even be able to keep the name of the pseudo-princess. Such a good girl who can only hide under the wings of others, you can marry your brother is a high incense that has been burned for several lifetimes, what, do you still want to occupy him? β
Cui Ziying's words are like knives, which is also strange, her words are so ugly, but they entered Jiang Mi's ears word by word and carved into her heart!
As Jiang Mi retreated step by step with a white face, Cui Ziying continued to say coldly and sarcastically: "Seriously, you really don't have any merits. If you want to talk about the merits, that is, good luck has entered my brother's eyes. β
Cui Ziying raised her chin and said this proudly, and impatiently dropped another sentence, "In short, Jiang's family, people are self-aware, you'd better figure out what kind of identity you are and then find fault, otherwise you will add laughter to others!" β
As soon as the voice fell, Cui Ziying flicked her sleeves and turned around and left.
After a while, Cui Ziying came to Mrs. Cui's room, while beating her grandmother's legs, Cui Ziying talked about the encounter with Jiang Mi just now with a smile, and said while laughing at Cui Ziying: "I don't know what that woman thinks, she is still greedy and not satisfied, even if my brother wants to take a concubine?" β
Since the news of Cui Zixuan's big victory came, Mrs. Cui has been in a good mood, she closed her eyes with a smile and enjoyed her granddaughter's waiter, and said casually: "She is pampered and arrogant, grandmother has long said that your brother should not be so used to the Jiang family!" β
Cui Ziying snorted and said crisply: "If it weren't for the secret recipes that her mother passed on to her and the rumors of her lucky stars, my brother would not have married her." What is it? So you can't see your own weight clearly? β
Seeing that the more she spoke, the more unpleasant it became, Mrs. Cui opened her eyes and stared at her, Cui Ziying quickly closed her mouth and smiled obediently.
Old Madam Cui looked away, she sighed lightly, "Just three months after getting married, my husband is going to take another noble daughter." is also married to six, and there is indeed a place for my Cui family to lose in this matter. But in this troubled world, I want to be subordinate, my Boling Cui clan promised Xuan'er's begging to marry her with the gift of the main room, this is subordination, and now they are married in less than three months to marry her, and it is also subordinate. β
Jiang Mi didn't know about the conversation between Cui Ziying and Mrs. Cui, and she returned to her room in despair.
One enters the room. She hid in bed. After pulling down the bed, Jiang Mi buried herself in the quilt and shrunk into a ball.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Three mothers walked in.
Looking at the bed with the tent hanging low, the three mothers glanced at each other. Li's mother was the first to walk to the bed.
She looked inside the bed tent and called softly, "Princess, are you crying?" β
Jiang Mi did not answer.
There was a slight pause. Mother Li sighed lightly and said, "Princess." Such as the Boling Cui family, the most important rules and concubines, since you are already a wife, why do you care how many concubines he Cui Lang has? β
There was still no sound from the bed.
Gui's mother also stepped forward, and she also sighed. said: "The old slave used to think that it was not good for the mother to teach her daughter like that. Niangniang's own life is good, and she finds a husband who can give her her life wholeheartedly, so she always thinks that her daughter can also marry a husband who is also single-minded......"
Mother Gong interrupted Mother Gui's words with a cough. She turned her head to look into the bed tent and said sternly, "Princess." You only need to remember one thing, as long as the man takes you to heart, it is better than anything! You are now a wife, and you are pampered by your uncle's beware of the baby, what can you do if your concubine's family background is the most valuable? β
Jiang Mi's voice came from behind the bed tent, her voice was so hoarse that she could only hear her say hurriedly: "You guys go out!" Get out! β
The three mothers glanced at each other, and finally sighed and withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Since hearing that Cui Zixuan would come back tonight, Jiang Mi climbed down from the couch. For nearly an hour, she has been touching up her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.
Her face was really ugly, so Jiang Mi smeared and smeared and smeared and smeared, and her eyes were blue, and she slowly painted it less visible.
The three mothers hid outside the door, and when they saw Jiang Mi like this, they nodded secretly: Women, even if they are the most uncomfortable in front of men, they have to pretend to be generous, it seems that the princess has figured it out.
Finally, after Jiang Mi heard the noise outside, she slowly stood up, looking at the flickering candle flame, Jiang Mi said in a low voice: "Cui Lang is back?" β
Mother Li immediately responded outside: "If you go back to the princess, my uncle is back, and he has now returned to the study and is staying alone." "This newlywed Yan'er, my uncle hugged the princess and kept it warm, and the princess forgot about today's unhappiness!
Jiang Mi responded, and she whispered, "I'll go see him." β
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Mi pushed the door open.
After refusing to follow the three mothers again, Jiang Mi's steps were fluttering, looking at her weak appearance in the moonlight, the three mothers sighed with pity at the same time.
It's been two hours since Cui Zixuan came back.
He had just met with the elders of the clan, and after having dinner with his grandmother, he returned to his study because of the burst of his wound.
Lowering his head, watching the guards wrap the wound one after another with a cloth, Cui Zixuan asked with a smile, "What about the young lady?" These **** are not here, how is the young lady? β
The maidservant was about to answer, when Jiang Mi's inquiry came from outside, "Cui Lang, can I come in?" β
Just as the wound had been wrapped, Cui Zixuan put on his coat, waved everyone away with a smile, and said happily towards the door: "It's Ah Mi, come in." β
As soon as Jiang Mi pushed the door in, he chuckled and said, "Why don't you ask your husband to call Cui Lang?" So rusty? β
Jiang Mi did not answer.
Jiang Mi lowered his head and moved towards Cui Zixuan step by step.
It was so close, only a few steps away, but her steps were so heavy that her throat was so tight that she couldn't breathe!
Slowly, Jiang Mi came to Cui Zixuan's side, and she slowly knelt on his side.
Cui Zixuan was picking up an urgent newspaper and flipping through it, when he felt Jiang Mi approaching, he stretched out his left hand and stroked her hair.
Countless times before, they have also gotten along like this, and Jiang Mi has always felt that there is anything wrong with this, but now she finally understands that it turns out that she and him have unequal status from the beginning, even if he marries her! Even if he held her in the palm of his hand!
Also, how can a marriage that is gifted because of good fate be loved by the other party wholeheartedly?
Jiang Mi lowered her head, and she looked at the reflection of the two of them on the floor in a daze.
Cui Zixuan finished flipping through the emergency report and put it aside, he lowered his head and said to Jiang Mi: "Why is it so quiet today?" In the blink of an eye, he asked softly, "But frightened?" β
Jiang Mi nodded and shook her head, she slowly put her face on his knees, her hands tightly hugged his thighs, Jiang Mi hoarsely voiced, and asked in a low voice with the greatest strength in her life: "Cui Lang, I heard them say, you want to take a concubine?" β
Her voice was really light and light, if it weren't for Cui Zixuan's extraordinary ear, she wouldn't even be able to hear it clearly. But even such a weak voice has exhausted Jiang Mi's life's strength!
The big hand placed on top of Jiang Mi's head froze!
After a while, Cui Zixuan's gentle voice came, "Don't think about it so much...... I'll keep you! β
Seeing Jiang Mi shrinking to the ground, Cui Zixuan's voice carried infinite pity and tenderness, "The Boling Cui clan is the most important, even if their family background is better than yours, you are the master when they enter this mansion." My husband has long said that I will protect you and spoil you, this sentence will always be valid! β
Jiang Mi shrank into a ball.
Because she was curled up backwards, Jiang Mi was now hiding in the dark. In the darkness, Jiang Mi's small voice came, "Just, can't you accept it?" β
Cui Zixuan smiled, he reached out and rubbed Jiang Mi's hair heavily, and said, "What a childish word!" At this point, if the five surnames and seven sects don't join forces, they can really only sit and wait for destruction! Speaking of this, he told again: "Okay, you don't care about such trivial things in the future." In short, you remember one sentence, once you have me, you just need to be my wife happily and give birth to children for me. β
This is no small matter! In Jiang Mi's heart, there was a voice screaming and roaring: This is not a trivial matter!
It's also strange, obviously he can't breathe, and the fishy breath in his throat is surging outward, but Jiang Mi can still stand up and say goodbye to Cui Zixuan with a gentle smile.
When she turned to leave the study, Jiang Mi almost fell under her feet, but she soon got back on her feet.
Staggering towards the darkness, Jiang Mi's mind floated a scene, when she was still young, in the house of Nanchu Wucheng, her mother sat in the courtyard while admiring the flowers in the courtyard, while stroking Jiang Mi's little head over and over again, what her mother said at that time is still so clear until now, "My daughter's life is so good, she can not worry about anything in the future, just wait for happiness." β
Jiang Mi looked at the darkness, her eyes were blank and she thought: My mother has sued me like this since I was a child, but she was wrong!
Yes, she was wrong!
The happiness she Jiang Mi wants is not only to be fed and clothed in this troubled world and no one to bully, what she wants has always been the kind of mother and father, two people who love each other will never give up for a lifetime!
That's a woman's happiness!
Mother is still wrong, she always says that if you have a good life, there will be a qiΔ, but if it is a good life like her now, she can't stand it! She really can't stand it!
She loves Cui Zixuan, she just thinks that there are other women between him and her, she has to live with those women who share her husband and her lover for many years, her chest is a suffocating pain, she would rather die immediately!
In the dark, Jiang Mi's steps became faster and faster, faster and faster......
