Chapter 2: Masks
"Yes, since you can't kill it, let's sell it to a brothel!" Being able to stay in the General's Mansion for so many years, there must be some craftsmanship in serving people. ”
Obviously, such ugly words came out of the mouth of this eldest lady so lightly, and Rao is housekeeper who has been in charge for many years couldn't help but gasp.
"Madame, you ......"
Although this Mrs. Tao is just a concubine, she is also a woman from a serious family, and it was already a grievance to follow the general as a concubine, and this time she has to be sent to a brothel, which is really a waste.
In the early years of Wang Du, it was rumored that the four young ladies of Shangshu Mansion were cruel, and countless servants were killed in the family.
If it weren't for the fact that her sister-in-law was the current virtuous concubine, if it weren't for the virtuous concubine who asked the emperor for an edict, where would she have the opportunity to be the general's wife, she wouldn't be grateful to the general, but would have mobilized the general's people.
Thinking of this, the butler became more and more angry, so he didn't move at all and did not carry out Qiu Moli's order.
"What? The housekeeper is reluctant? Or is the housekeeper unwilling? Otherwise, I will talk to Concubine Xian, I don't even have the right to dispose of a subordinate in this general's mansion, see if she can beg the emperor to take back this holy decree, so that I can return to the Shangshu Mansion. ”
Qiu Moli raised her voice, and between the words, she warned everyone in the General's Mansion that she could not be bullied casually, she came in because the emperor expressed her attitude, and bullying her was equivalent to bullying the emperor.
"The little ones know their mistakes." The butler spoke helplessly.
"If you know your mistake, hurry up and do it, is it difficult to ask me, the general's wife, to go in person?"
"Yes"
"By the way, by the way, I sent someone to Cuihong Mansion to invite the general back, just say that it is getting late, it's time to rest, and these kneeling people at the bottom, when the general comes back, you can get up when you want."
When he turned around, Qiu Moli took a deep breath, and his originally arrogant expression also regained his calmness, obviously he just wanted to live the rest of his life quietly, but he was forced to be a brutal young lady who even he hated.
But if not, is there any hope for her?
The highest person in charge of Shangshu Mansion, her father, has been planning for many years, only thinking about fighting for fame and fortune, and even sacrificing his own daughter, everyone thinks that Concubine Xian is so happy that she is favored by the emperor, but only she knows what kind of despair and loneliness are hidden behind the smile that looks at all beings.
She knew that her sister hated it, disgusted with the palace wall that could never get out, the human heart that could never be found, and she was.
It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, only the brutal willfulness will not be looked upon by the royal family, and only the brutal willfulness will not become a victim of the power struggle.
My sister is already in that cage, and she doesn't want to go in again, never. Even if she is disgusted by everyone, even if she is alienated by everyone, it doesn't matter, she won't have anything to do with them anyway, and she won't have it anyway.
Qiu Moli thought like this, and his face finally regained its initial expression, arrogant but frightening.
……
Emerald Red House.
"Oh, Moon Shadow, did she really say that?" After listening to the report of the people below, Xuan Zixu was not annoyed, on the contrary, he felt funny.
"Yes!" Moon Shadow in her nightcoat replied.
How could that old puppet in Qiu Nan give birth to such a stupid daughter? It's not like her sister-in-law at all, but one concubine in Da Zhou is enough, and if there is another one, he is really sure what will happen.
A woman who has never given birth to an heir can sit in the position of the fourth concubine, and her scheming can be seen.
But my sister is so smart, but my sister is ...... Today, he didn't go to the church, and the emperor just found a chicken to worship in the church, but she lightly made the entire general's mansion a chicken, scolded her subordinates, and did not hide her jealousy.
Qiu Moli, Qiu Moli, I don't want to fix you, but you stuck it up, then don't blame General Ben for being polite.
"Is the master going back tonight?" Moon Shadow asked.
"No, but you have to do something for me, I want the whole king to know that his Qiunan woman is a cruel and jealous shrew."
"The subordinates understand, but the kneeling people in the General's Mansion? And Mrs. Peach......"
Thinking of the concubine who was about to be sold by Qiu Moli, Xuan Zixu didn't feel pity at all. The Tao is not the same, and King Zhang's people have been in his mansion for so long, so they should be disposed of. As for those kneeling subordinates, it was her Qiu Moli's order, wasn't it?
"Don't care about it all, by the way, find a way to pass tonight's qiē word for word to King Zhang's ears."
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Moon Shadow finished speaking, and quickly disappeared into the night.
As soon as Moon Shadow left, Xuan Zixu turned around and prepared to go back to the room, the moment he pushed the door, even he didn't notice it, and his original dignified expression also softened, and this qiē was because of a woman named Lianji.
When Xuan Zixu pushed the door, he deliberately lowered his voice, just for fear of waking up the person who was asleep, but unfortunately, the person he was thinking about had been woken up, and he was reading a book at the moment.
"Lianhime, still not sleeping?"
Lian Ji raised her head, her eyes showed a clear light, and she looked at Xuan Zixu with a smile, extremely gentle.
The eyebrows are delicate, the skin is soft and pancreatic, no matter how beautiful words are, they can't describe the beauty of Lian Ji, Xuan Zixu only felt that a warm current in his heart was slowly injected, and he felt that no matter how troublesome things were, they could disappear under the gaze of the person in front of him.
"I can't sleep!"
As Lian Ji spoke, Xuanzi stepped forward, patted her forehead gently, and opened her mouth dotingly. "If you don't sleep, you'll have a headache tomorrow."
"Then Zixu will rub my head for me." Lian Ji didn't forget to stick out her tongue as she spoke, and she looked indescribably cute.
Xuanzi smiled, but still raised his hand and gently pressed Lianji's head, he lowered his head, looked at Lianhime's expression of enjoyment, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This girl will really enjoy it, his hands that everyone admires, are actually called by her to press his head for such a trivial matter, but he is willing, for his beloved, no matter how small things he is.
"Are you comfortable?" Xuan Zixu asked softly.
"Well, it's so comfortable, Zixu's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and we can open a special massage shop in Ming'er."
"As long as you're happy, why not be a businessman."
Xuan Zixu didn't care about the unreasonableness in Lianji's words at all, because he promised Lianji that when he finished dealing with the affairs of the Great Zhou, he would live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with her, living a life of male farmer and female weaving.
"Haha! I remember what you said. Renji chuckled.
Looking at Lian Ji with an innocent smile on her face, the guilt in Xuanzixu's heart slowly emerged. He paused, but still said with self-reproach, "Lianji, I'm sorry. ”
Lian Ji turned around and hugged Xuan Zixu, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't care, as long as it's with Zixu, it doesn't matter if you're a wife or a concubine." ”
Xuan Zixu only felt that the warm current in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, it was good that there was someone in this world who was willing to love you and understand you. But he didn't see it, when Lian Ji, who was holding her, said those words, her eyes had long since lost the clarity of the beginning.
What the eye sees is not always true. Perhaps, not only Qiu Moli is wearing a mask, but this Lian Ji, who is regarded as a clear spring by Xuanzixu, is also wearing a mask, but what is the future road, after all, he can only rely on himself step by step.
