Chapter 102: Retribution
Wei Qingqing accompanied Zhu Zhu and slowly waited for the time to come in the back garden where the prince's mansion held a banquet to entertain the female dependents.
However, he didn't expect that the third princess would come over with the Qu family.
When Qu saw Wei Qingqing, there was not much kindness in his eyes, but there was not much joy, after all, Wei Qiongwei had only been dead for a few months.
The third princess had a quiet appearance, but her skin was sickly pale, and although she had red lips, she still couldn't hide the sickness all over her body.
"You are the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, I finally saw you today."
The third princess came over and smiled affectionately at Wei Qingqing.
Wei Qingqing got up and saluted, and glanced at the Qu clan's eyes that were even more dissatisfied with herself, and knew the intention of the third princess, she wanted to take advantage of her own Qu clan.
"If it's really a fairy-like woman, it's no wonder that Second Master Rong only needs you, and the women next to him are unsightly." The third princess smiled and took Wei Qingqing's hand and said, "There are a few rare dwarf pines in front, with strange shapes, and they are also wandering around, why don't we go and have a look." ”
"Yes."
Wei Qingqing saw that the three princesses seemed to have something else to say, so she turned back to Zhu Zhu and said, "You just said that you like the rare ink chrysanthemums in the yard, why don't you stay and enjoy them, otherwise you won't be able to see them when you leave the Three Princes' Mansion." ”
Zhu Zhu saw that Wei Qingqing didn't want to let him follow, so he had to respond, but he still didn't feel at ease with the third princess, so he deliberately said, "It's okay." I won't appreciate the dwarf pine left and right, and I can't see the interest when I go with it, but it disturbs the interest of the princess. However, the lord of Chiyang also likes chrysanthemums, so I went to find her to enjoy chrysanthemums together. ”
The third princess looked back at Zhu Zhu, smiled slightly, and didn't say much, only led Wei Qingqing forward.
Qu was resentful, not only did he not like Wei Qingqing, who did not deal with them everywhere in General Wei's mansion, but he was also afraid that Wei Qingqing would say bad things to the third princess. hurriedly followed, and listened to the third princess say: "This dwarf pine was rewarded by the Queen Mother a while ago, and it is extremely precious." ”
Wei Qingqing glanced at Qu Shi who was staring at him tightly with the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth were slightly Yang: "I don't understand much, presumably Mrs. Wei should understand this?" ”
Seeing Wei Qingqing suddenly talking to him, Qu Shi woke up, and glanced lightly at the pots of dwarf pines that were placed high in front of him: "There are no such precious things in my house, but I have heard some of them." ”
"Madame, don't you understand? How did I hear that Rong Xiang had sent a lot to the General's Mansion? Wei Qingqing asked her.
Qu opened his mouth to argue, but hesitated again, although Rong Ruizhang was a son-in-law before, he was the son-in-law of the eldest daughter who did not crawl out of his belly, what Rong Ruizhang sent, if it wasn't for gold and silver, she wouldn't be too lazy to look at it, where did she remember what dwarf pine?
But her hesitation, in the eyes of the third princess, means something else.
"I almost forgot. Rong Xiang is still the son-in-law of the General's Mansion, and he will be close to our Three Princes' Mansion in the future. The third princess smiled lightly.
"Yes, yes."
Qu didn't hear what the third princess meant, and when he heard her say this, he thought that he had exposed the topic of the dwarf pine, so he hurriedly responded.
Wei Qingqing said again: "I heard that Rong Xiang has often visited the General's Mansion recently, which shows that Rong Xiang is close to the General's Mansion, and the General's wife is so blessed, she has a filial and considerate eldest son-in-law, and now she has a second son-in-law with a noble status." ”
When Qu Shi heard this, he thought it was a compliment, and his face showed a little pride: "Lord Wei also has a good son-in-law, and Second Master Rong is also hot now, and the young lady doesn't have to be arrogant." ”
Wei Qingqing knew that Wei Rampant would not tell Qu about these things in the imperial court.
Wei Rampant felt that a woman only needed to learn three virtues and four virtues, and it was enough for her husband to teach her children, but she never thought that women could be both successful and bad!
The third princess looked at Qu, who was very proud to have such a son-in-law as Rong Ruizhang, and after a few more words, she said that she had a headache and left.
Wei Qingqing knew that his goal had been achieved, and the next step was to take Liuli away.
"It's not early, so I won't spend more time with my wife."
Wei Qingqing also said goodbye to Qu directly.
Without the three princesses here, Qu's disdain for Wei Qingqing didn't bother to hide it, and he turned around and left without replying to Wei Qingqing's words.
The grandmother beside her also looked back at Wei Qingqing from time to time, and said to Qu in a low voice: "The slave always feels that this young lady is more and more similar to the previous eldest lady. ”
"Like?" Qu sneered: "Is it as short as her?" ”
Mama laughed for a while, but the more she looked back at Wei Qingqing, the more she felt like it, regardless of her appearance.
Lan Zhi was so angry when she heard Qu's words that she wanted to step forward to distinguish it, but was stopped by Wei Qingqing: "It's okay." "A short life is not a short life, Qu will soon know!
Qu left, and Lan Sheng, who had quietly left before, had returned to her.
"According to the news given by Guo Daxia, I really found Liuli." Lan Sheng came over, looked at Wei Qingqing and said, "But Liuli said that she has a plan." ”
"Plan?"
Wei Qingqing looked at Lan Sheng, and Lan Sheng told Liuli's plan: "Liuli said, you can rest assured, she will not have an accident, and only in this way can the third princess believe what she said more." ”
Wei Qingqing thought for a moment and told Lan Sheng: "Explain it, be sure to rescue her safely." Even if the plan didn't work out, she didn't want to sacrifice Ruri.
There are enough people who have sacrificed for her.
After explaining, Wei Qingqing is still wondering, today Rong Ruizhang is clearly here. Why didn't he find trouble with himself at all, but he didn't know that Rong Ruizhang at this time, in order to get out of the Third Prince's Mansion safely, Rong Ruizhang had racked his brains, and he couldn't care about the plan to attack Wei Qingqing today.
Out of the Three Princes' Mansion, Rong Ruizhang saw his henchmen who were anxiously waiting outside; "What the hell is going on, how could the crown prince be impeached by the people I arranged for the fourth prince?"
"Xiangye, don't worry." The henchman hurriedly said: "The slave also received the news just now, and I can't find the person we secretly sent to keep an eye on the movements of the Prince's Mansion and the Wei Mansion." ”
"It must have been Rong Che who did it!"
When Rong Ruizhang mentioned Rong Che, he already hated his flesh and blood.
"Xiangye, what should we do next? Now the crown prince must think that you united with the four princes to harm him, in the past, His Royal Highness the prince also took into account that you were the prime minister, and he never tore his face with you openly, but now he is only afraid of ......"
"Go to the Four Princes' Mansion!" Rong Ruizhang jumped directly into the carriage and commanded.
The confidants understood, and immediately wanted to drive the carriage forward, but they didn't run far, and heard a report from someone, saying that the people under the name of the prince also participated in the four princes, saying that the four princes connived at Ruizhang's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and refused to help poor relatives, so he sent all the poor relatives to prison, and impeached Rong Ruizhang by the way, saying that he couldn't control the inner house, fooled the people, and laughed and generous, which was really a shame for the court officials!
Rong Ruizhang listened to this sentence, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.
"Xiangye. Shall we still go to the Four Princes' Mansion? The henchman looked at him wrongly and asked carefully.
"Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Rong Ruizhang seemed to have made a great determination, even the people outside the carriage felt his Yin Owl killing intent.
The banquet in the Three Princes' Mansion was over, and it was already sunset.
When Wei Qingqing left the house, he heard that the three princes had already gone to the cave room before they could send off the guests, and it was the three princesses who sent off the guests.
But seeing that the third princess's face was even paler, she should be angry.
It's just that I don't know if the third princess is Wei Susu's opponent.
After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Wei Qingqing heard about the mutual impeachment of the crown prince and the four princes, and knew that there was a Rong Che arrangement.
"Young lady, the Duchess said, please go and sit down."
As soon as I returned home, Mama Cao, who was next to Mrs. Guo, came.
Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che, and Rong Che also guessed what it was for: "You go first, I'll go to meet the eldest brother." ”
"Hmm."
Wei Qingqing responded, and went forward with Mama Cao.
At that time, the eldest princess was still dressed in a plain white dress, dressed elegantly, the only difference was her expression, less arrogant and alienated, and more continued to be gentle.
"Qingqing."
When the Duchess saw Wei Qingqing, she laughed. The bitterness in the smile was obvious to Wei Qingqing at a glance.
Wei Qingqing stepped forward and saluted, and before she sat down, she heard the eldest princess say: "Sit next to me, in the future, we will also get along day and night, and we should be closer." ”
Wei Qingqing looked at the Duchess of Guo, and the Duchess nodded.
It seems that welcoming back the eldest princess is a matter of the past two days.
"The courtiers have just come back from outside, and their bodies are cold, and Her Royal Highness the princess is delicate, so it's not good to call the cold on the courtiers, so the courtiers should sit on the other side." Wei Qingqing politely finished talking to the eldest princess and sat down opposite her.
The maid beside the eldest princess was about to speak, but was stopped by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile: "Qingqing doesn't seem to want me to come back?" ”
"How could His Highness think that?" Wei Qingqing looked at the eldest princess with a smile: "The courtiers just want the eldest brother to be happy, if His Royal Highness comes back, it will make the eldest brother happy, how can the courtiers not want it?" ”
The eldest princess's smile gradually decreased, and she looked at Wei Qingqing seriously.
Wei Qingqing's smile remained unchanged. Calmly turned her head to look at the Duchess and said, "Why did the mother call her daughter-in-law?" ”
"It's okay." Duchess Guo thought about it, swallowed what she was going to say before, and only asked how Wei Qingqing was attending the banquet today, and then sent her back.
As soon as Wei Qingqing left, the eldest princess didn't sit for long and left.
It was only when they were all gone that Mama Cao asked the Duchess of the Kingdom: "Didn't you plan to let the young lady handle the matter of welcoming the eldest princess back to the house, why didn't you mention it?" ”
"That's it, Qingqing is sincere, why bother to let her hands get this on this?" Mrs. Guo thought of Wei Qingqing with satisfaction: "Che'er is bitter, with a good daughter-in-law like Qingqing, what about my Hai'er." ”
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Mama Cao persuaded: "Besides, the eldest princess is already pregnant, and the misunderstanding back then has been explained clearly, so she will definitely be good to our uncle in the future." ”
The Duchess can only wish in her heart: "I'm old, but I can't see it." Is my dowry list still there? You go and sort it out, if you are free, send it to Qingqing. ”
Mama Cao was shocked: "Madam, that's ......"
"If there is anything on the dowry list, you are not allowed to keep it, and you will send it all." Duchess Guo's tone was resolute: "Qingqing, this kid is measured, and he must have a large amount of living money in his hands to have confidence." ”
Mama Cao smiled: "There is a second master, you are afraid that the young lady will not have any money." ”
"That's different, what a man gives is not the same as what he owns."
The Duchess didn't know what to think of. I lost interest again, so I just told Mama Cao to do it, and went back to the room to rest.
At night, a fire suddenly broke out in the Three Princes' Mansion.
The third princess couldn't sleep, and after hearing that the house where Liuli was on fire, she immediately got up: "Be sure to save people!" ”
"But the princess, the fire is too big, and our people are afraid that they won't be able to get out if they go in." Someone replied.
"She just got married, is she so impatient?" The third princess coughed violently. Regardless of people's obstruction, he went directly to Wei Susu's current yard, but as soon as he walked into the yard, a tactful female voice mixed with the man's gasp came out.
A sound pierced into the heart of the third princess like a spike, making her can't help coughing violently until she coughed up blood.
"The princess!"
"I'm fine...... the third princess stopped the person who was going to knock on the door, and looked at the closed door with teary eyes, knowing in her heart. These three princes' mansions will definitely not be able to accommodate Wei Susu!
Rong Ruizhang didn't care about Wei Susu's news at all now, sitting in the dark room sullenly, looking at the figure struggling on the bed in front of him, gritting his teeth, without saying a word, the person on the bed finally stopped moving.
"Xiangye, I have already sent the old lady away."
The people inside talked back and forth.
Rong Ruizhang stood up, looked at the person in front of him, didn't say a word, drew a knife and cut off his life, then looked back at his mother who was lying on the bed staring at his eyes and was no longer breathing, clenched his fists, and walked out of the door.
"Everything has to be arranged." Rong Ruizhang commanded.
"Yes. But ......"
"But what?" Rong Ruizhang looked at the hesitant henchman, his eyes shrunk: "Mama Qin beside the old lady suddenly disappeared, and the slave has already sent someone to search for it." ”
Rong Ruizhang grabbed the neck of his henchman, and his face was terrifying like a ghost: "Be sure to find her, there is no mercy for killing!" ”
The henchman nodded hurriedly, and Rong Ruizhang glanced at the room where Rong Jinning was being held, and signaled to the henchman, and the henchman understood: "I have already arranged for someone to go, and tomorrow morning, the eldest lady will blame herself for her unfilial piety because of her mother's death and commit suicide." ”
"Good."
After Rong Ruizhang spit out these two words, he looked up at the sky.
Because it had rained during the day, the sky was only cloudy, and there was no moonlight to be seen.
In his previous life, it was clearly not like this, but now that something has gone wrong, that mistake is Wei Qingqing, no matter what, he has to get rid of this mistake!
Wei Qingqing!
Before dawn the next day, the news of the sudden death of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread, and the news of Rong Jinning's funeral for his mother spread all over the streets and alleys.
All of a sudden, the people who were laughing at the Prime Minister's Mansion changed their minds and praised Rong Jinning's filial piety.
When Guo Qing told Wei Qingqing the news he had seen with his own eyes, he was not much surprised to see Wei Qingqing. Ask her, "Could it be that you already knew about it......
"I guessed it."
Rong Ruizhang was cornered, he would definitely understand that his biggest stumbling block now was Mrs. Zhang and Rong Jinning, even if these two were his closest relatives.
But what about loved ones?
Wei Qingqing took care of the blood ruby hairpin, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and smiled, presumably Mrs. Zhang would not believe that one day, she would also be betrayed by her loved ones and die so miserably.
It's just a pity, how good would it be if she was allowed to die with herself?
"Miss."
Lan Zhi came back from outside, still stained with the morning mist.
"Did you send it?" Wei Qingqing asked.
"Sent it." Lan Zhi smiled, early this morning, she sent the good things to congratulate Wei Susu on her wedding.
Wei Qingqing smiled, very good. died of an old lady Zhang, then next, it should be this good 'sister' that she once loved the most.
The Three Princes' Mansion.
Wei Susu opened the brocade box in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
"Who sent it?" Wei Susu asked Yahuan.
"The person who came to deliver the things only said that it was your old man, and that it was also the Wei family, and the slave thought you knew ......" Yahuan looked at Wei Susu timidly, Wei Susu did not look angry, only glanced at the side in the brocade box and wiped his forehead, which was obviously Mrs. Zhang's.
Mrs. Zhang's 'sudden death' last night, she didn't believe it, was it Sister A's means?
"Pull her down and kill her with a cane."
Yahuan was stunned: "Side concubine, the slave didn't mean to ......"
Wei Susu didn't bother to listen to her distinguish, only got a haircut, and went out to find the third prince, who knew that as soon as he arrived outside the third prince's study, he heard the third princess talking to the third prince about Liuli and Rong Ruizhang, and between the words, he actually wanted to get rid of himself.
The third princess's personal mother-in-law came from the other side of the corridor, and saw Wei Susu standing outside the door listening in a grand manner, frowned, and wanted to step forward to stop her, but saw Wei Susu smiling at her.
Before the mother-in-law could reply, she saw Wei Susu's footsteps move to the side of the steps, and the whole person fell backwards, and Wei Susu's personal maid suddenly cried and shouted: "You are so bold, how dare you do this to the side concubine?" His Royal Highness hasn't convicted our concubine yet, our concubine is innocent! ”
The mother-in-law reacted instantly, and was about to enter the study, but the door of the study opened with a bang.
"Your Highness!"
The mother-in-law hurriedly wanted to explain, but the third prince kicked her away directly.
The third princess was already sick and weak, and when she saw this, she coughed even more: "Your Highness, it must not be that Mama pushed the side concubine, Mama can't ......"
"No way, do you see if there are anyone else here?"
The third prince saw that Wei Susu's wrist had fallen out of a large bruise, and he was furious, and he didn't listen to the defense, and shouted directly: "Come on, pull this old woman down and scold her for thirty years, and then open her mouth for twenty more, to set an example!" ”
The body of the third princess is soft, and the mouth is palmed? Isn't beating your own close mother just beating yourself?
The third princess looked at Wei Susu, who knew that Wei Susu was also looking at her, and when the third prince picked her up, she smiled at the third princess and concubine, extremely provocative.
