Chapter 68, Jiang Wan framed
My dad?
What does my dad think? Running around at this time?
If...... If it weren't for me in this room today, something might have happened?
But I can't always go out and confess to him now.
If I confess, maybe I will have to let Jiang Wan discover my identity, and the tragedy of my previous life will be repeated.
It's not that I didn't want to fight with them, but my background is there, and some things are always unguardable. If you can not pierce it now, then it is better not to pierce it.
"Lord Wang......" Through the red hijab, I fumbled and held Zhao Rongxian's hand.
"Hmm......" Zhao Rongxian snorted lightly and asked me, "What does the lady want to say?" ”
I lowered my voice, tried to be as gentle as I could, and begged him, "My dad will trouble you." ”
"You're not going to confess to your father?" Zhao Rongxian immediately saw my thoughts, and said as if to persuade him, "Do you know how sad your father and mother have been recently?" ”
I know how sad they are, but their lives are more important to me than their sadness. In my previous life, they were burdened by me and suffered so much.
Since I have lived a new life, I naturally don't want them to be tired of me anymore.
Since Zhao Rongxian refuses to let me go, then I must not let the outside world know about my relationship with the Bai family.
Even if the Sun family already knows it now, it may be a day to hide it.
If I have the opportunity to stand on the highest place, if I have the ability to protect them, it will never be too late to recognize them.
But now, I feel like my fate is getting closer and closer to my past life......
I bit my lip, suppressed my emotions, and forced myself to calm down, "A moment of sadness is better than losing your life." also asked the prince to send his concubine's father home, don't embarrass him. ”
When I said this, I felt Zhao Rongxian's hand stiffen slightly.
"You're so scared? Do you think I can't protect you? Zhao Rongxian's voice was full of disappointment.
But I'm also disappointed, since the moment he decided to marry Jiang Wan and entered the door, I have already died to him. Even if I saw him kill himself that day, I still felt uncomfortable, but I also knew that I couldn't trust him anymore.
The only thing I can believe is myself.
Now I have no choice but to return to these four palaces, if I want my father and mother to live a stable life, I will leave them all clean.
I gently withdrew my hand, did not shy away at all, and said in a low voice, "Yes, the prince can't protect me, he couldn't protect me in the past, and he can't protect it now." ”
"If you make me unhappy like this, aren't you afraid that I will embarrass your father?" Zhao Rongxian's voice revealed a hint of hoarseness, like a threat, and like sadness.
In the past, his threats would have frightened me, and his grief would have distressed me.
But now, I don't care so much.
I shook my head and said with a faint smile, "Lord Wang, you always know who I am. If I tell a lie against my will, do you believe it? ”
Zhao Rongxian didn't speak, yes, he didn't believe it.
"Lord Wang, please deal with the matter of the concubine's father as soon as possible, what kind of chaos will there be in the province." I groped my way forward and patted his hand gently, speaking extremely gently.
Zhao Rongxian was obviously dissatisfied with my words, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.
When Zhao Rongxian came back, I had already rested, and I specially covered my face with a veil before going to bed.
Zhao Rongxian reached out and touched me a few times, but I ignored him.
Finally he was so depressed that he simply turned his back to me.
In this cave room, Zhao Rongxian was very unhappy, and the one in the Snow Courtyard was not very happy.
Although Zhao Rongxian couldn't have a room with me, in the eyes of others, he was resting in my room.
He accepted me as a side concubine regardless of my lowly status, and let me sit on an equal footing with the prime minister's daughter, which was also extremely pampered for me.
Zhao Rongxian doted on me, and Jiang Wan was naturally unhappy.
So I was embarrassed early in the morning, Zhao Rongxian just left with the front foot, and Jiang Wan's people came with the back foot.
said that according to the rules, I should go and give Jiang Wan tea.
Joke, is she really when I don't understand the rules?
I'm a side concubine, and she is also a side concubine, so I asked me to give her tea?
I glanced at Mama Zhu at the door and ignored her.
That Mama Zhu was a little unhappy when she saw that I didn't move, she took out the shelf of the concubine's nurse, and immediately said again, "Concubine Xue, according to the rules, you are going to give tea to our princess today." ”
She spoke with a straight voice, looking at me with the eyes of a hillbilly, as if she expected me to understand nothing, and thought that I must be a soft persimmon who was easy to bully.
yes, I'm a hillbilly now.
A lowly woman who came here from Yuezhou to join relatives, but was inadvertently taken by the fourth prince.
It is said that this newcomer does have to suffer some losses and be bullied in order to remember it for a long time.
Unfortunately, I am neither a newcomer nor a newcomer who does not want to be bullied.
If I remember correctly, Jiang Wan called me over today, she must have wanted to scald me with hot boiling water while the tea was being served.
In her previous life, when she offered me tea, she deliberately poured hot water on me, and later other women entered the house, and she also asked people to give her tea, and then she splashed people with hot boiled water to give people a horse.
Today, she wants to give me a horse.
I leaned lightly on the chair in the room and looked at Mama Zhu leisurely, still not moving.
Mama Zhu was completely annoyed when she saw that I still ignored her, she raised her voice and repeated it with a straight face, "Please also ask Concubine Xue to go and give tea to our princess!" Although you were born in the countryside, since you have entered the Four Princes' Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Four Princesses! ”
Hehe, do you really think I'm a liar?
Okay, she talks to me about the rules, I have to talk to her about the rules.
I sneered and interrupted her mockingly, "Mama Zhu's words are so ridiculous, your master is a side concubine, and I am also a side concubine, but you want me to offer tea to her." Do you really think that I don't understand the rules, or do you want to bully people because your master is from a prominent background? ”
"You ......" Mama Zhu didn't think that I, a country woman, would be so sharp-toothed, and I didn't expect that I would know these rules, and I couldn't answer for a while when I asked.
But soon she found other excuses, and said seriously, "Concubine Xue doesn't know, although our princess is a side concubine, but she is dealing with all the big and small things in this mansion, and this concubine is just a matter of time." ”
Eh, this is a threat to me, telling me that their master will be the one who will decide my life and death in the future, and let me stammer?
It's a pity, I'm the one who has lived a new life, and I naturally won't be threatened by her.
I looked at her eyes and looked even more mocking, and asked her, "Mama Zhu is threatening me?" ”
"The old slave didn't, the old slave just reminded Concubine Xue ......" Mama Zhu's face became even more ugly, and she said a little angrily, "Concubine Xue has just arrived, and there are many rules that she doesn't understand, if she ......"
"What if? Do I have a rule to teach you a slave lesson? I slapped the table and interrupted her sharply, "Mama Zhu, you are so bold!" If you don't say anything to me, you dare to threaten me! ”
"Not to mention whether your master can sit in the position of the concubine, even if you sit up, it will not be her turn to decide my life and death! What's wrong? Do you think the fourth prince is dead? These four princes now want you to be a minion to call the shots? ”
I was aggressive and asked rhetorical questions.
Mama Zhu was frightened by me, and seemed to want to teach me a lesson, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a reason to discipline me, so she pointed at me and scolded, "You...... How dare you curse the Four Princes! ”
"I curse the Four Princes? Who heard? Do you hear me? I looked up at the two maids waiting beside me, and a grandmother.
These three people were all sent to me by Zhao Rongxian, and they monitored me a little, but Zhao Rongxian also explained to them, so that they could serve me well, and I would be their master in the future, and they would be loyal to me.
As the most loyal maids around me, how could they help Mama Zhu speak.
"The slave didn't hear it." The slightly more shrewd-looking maid Siqin said immediately.
Hearing this, another maid ink painting immediately echoed, "The slave didn't hear it either." ”
"I don't know if our side concubine has cursed the prince, but there are some dogs and dogs, and I can see it clearly, old woman." Before Mama Zhu could speak, Mama Chen next to me immediately said in a weird way.
Mama Chen is an old man in the palace, I heard that she was serving by the queen's side, but because she failed to take care of the prince, she provoked the prince to fall into the water and was given death by the emperor.
Zhao Rongxian saw that she was pitiful, so he pleaded with the emperor and saved her.
I used to work as a coolie in the palace, but now because I need someone to serve me, Zhao Rongxian also has some ability, so I brought her out and came to serve me.
Seriously, I don't really believe that Zhao Rongxian will save people.
But this Mama Chen's attitude does seem to be loyal to the death.
She was pestled next to me, so full of anger that Mama Zhu couldn't speak.
Mama Zhu scolded angrily, and then stepped out of Qinghui Courtyard angrily.
I tore my face here, and I was so unreasonable, she would never pretend anymore, and she would sue Jiang Wan if she wanted to go back.
Sure enough, when it was almost noon, Jiang Wan came.
However, she did not put on a commanding appearance, but was full of smiles, and as soon as she entered the door, she took my hand very affectionately, and said with a guilty face, "Sister Xue, today I originally wanted Mama Zhu to invite you to sit down, so that we can get to know each other, who knew that this damn dog slave actually misinterpreted my meaning and dared to be rude to my sister." ”
When I saw Jiang Wan, I was surprised.
It's not that I'm surprised by her arrival, but I'm surprised by her bulging belly, her belly, to say the least, has been seven months, but she has only been married to the Four Kings Mansion for less than half a year.
So...... Zhao Rongxian has been secretly communicating with her for a long time? Also had a child with her?
I remember that in the past, Jiang Wan had no children for five years. What's going on now? Zhao Rongxian was afraid that he would have a thin heir like in his previous life, and he was afraid that he would accidentally die, so he left this child?
If so, why did he go to all the trouble of forcing me to come back?
Zhao Rongxian is really the most greedy person in the world, fortunately, I have long been dead to him......
I don't care who he has children with.
However, Jiang Wan looked very proud, she deliberately straightened up so that I could see her stomach clearly.
As he spoke, he instructed the maid who was waiting, "Arrow, bring the gift." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid beside her brought a plate containing ...... My Phoenix......
I used to be the phoenix hairpin of the fourth princess and concubine......
I pretended not to know what it was, but said with a happy face, "This thing is so precious, my sister is embarrassed to take it." ”
I looked like a hillbilly who had never seen the world, Jiang Wan was really happy, and immediately picked up the phoenix hairpin and stuck it on my head, and said with a smile, "Look at what my sister said, we will be a family in the future, what's wrong." Besides, today's Mama Zhu's dog slave actually misinterpreted my meaning, so that my sister caused such bad luck on the first day of marriage, this phoenix hairpin, it should be regarded as a gift from my sister to you, and by the way, go to the bad luck......"
Bad luck? Wouldn't it be worse to stick dead man's things on my head?
Hehe, she wants to separate me and Zhao Rongxian.
gave the relics of Zhao Rongxian's 'dead' wife to me, the newly entered side concubine, and specially put them on my head, isn't it just to let Zhao Rongxian see it, so that Zhao Rongxian can scold me fiercely?
Zhao Rongxian's 'deep affection' for his wife is well known to everyone, and I, a lowly country woman, can still enter the palace as a side concubine after being disfigured, all thanks to the blessing of his husband and wife.
People outside say that the reason why I, an ugly girl who wears a veil all day long and has an hateful face, can enter the palace is because of the similarity between my eyebrows and Zhao Rongxian's dead wife.
Jiang Wan probably thought so too, so she specially gave me this hairpin, just to make Zhao Rongxian feel that I, the substitute, wanted to replace his wife.
She was very good, but she could never have imagined that I was the dead wife.
I touched the phoenix hairpin on my head, looking greedy and ignorant, and took her hand and thanked her again and again, "Since it's my sister's kindness, then my sister is welcome." ”
"This phoenix hairpin, get ten taels of silver, right?" I was overjoyed and happily asked her again.
Jiang Wan's eyes really showed ridicule immediately, but she pretended to be very gentle on the surface, took my arm and said, "My sister said that I laughed, how dare my sister give it to my sister if it is a dozen or two things." This hairpin is made by the best craftsmen in the palace, and the materials used are the best. ”
I naturally knew that it was more than 1,000 taels, and Zhao Rongxian specially told me that day, for fear that I didn't know what a valuable gift he gave me.
But at this moment, I was pretending to be ignorant and stupid, and I immediately exclaimed, "Sister is saying that this hairpin is worth more than a thousand taels?" This...... Our family only uses less than sixty taels a year! If this hairpin is sold, you can buy many bowls of pork noodles. ”
Seeing that I was so excited, Jiang Wan was even more satisfied.
She immediately kindly reminded me, "Sister, this is the Four Princes' Mansion, you can't say such things again in the future, let people listen, you have to say that our Four Princes' Mansion is short-sighted." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you sister for mentioning it." I pulled her very flatteringly and asked her questions, pretending as if I had never seen her before.
This made Jiang Wan and Mama Zhu lower their guard, and when I went for a walk in the garden in the evening, I also heard Mama Zhu laughing at me with Ah Luo.
said that he thought I was so good, but it turned out to be a hillbilly, and a dead man's golden hairpin was coaxed to be happy.
also said that my disfigured ugly face, if I angered Zhao Rongxian, I would inevitably die a miserable death.
When I heard them say this, I was frightened and hurriedly shouted that I had picked the hairpin.
Although Zhao Rongxian called someone to serve me, he didn't tell them my identity, and Mo Hua was naturally afraid.
I waved my hand and smiled lightly, "No need to ......"
"But......" Mo Hua frowned, looked at Mama Zhu who was getting farther and farther away, and said with a frightened face, "Concubine Niangniang, although you don't like to hear some words, the slave still has to say a few words." ”
"These four princes have a deep love for their wives, when the princess was gone, the prince had more than half a month, and he was drunk every month, and the whole person seemed to be unable to live. Later, the second princess came to persuade a few words, and this prince was better. Now he can marry you because of you...... Somewhat similar to the Four Princesses......"
"Similar is similar, you are not the fourth princess after all. If the prince sees the phoenix hairpin on your head, he will definitely be furious. You...... You've got that on your face......"
"How's my face?" I interrupted her and looked at her pretended to be unhappy.
Not to mention, at this moment, when I am a little happier these days, I always thought that there are not many good people in the world, and now it seems that it is not.
When I asked about it, I immediately realized that I was not happy.
But she is also a sincere girl, although she was trembling when I asked, she still opened her mouth and stumbled, "You...... Your face is ruined, if you anger the prince, you will not have a good life in the future. I've heard...... I've heard that you've had a hard time in the Taishi's Mansion......"
"Let's not say if you can go back to the Taishi's Mansion, let's just say that if the prince is angry, maybe he can kill you." Mohua spoke in a serious tone, persuading me over and over again.
Then he stretched out his hand to take off the phoenix hairpin on my head, "The slave will help you take it down now, and the prince should come back in a while." ”
I smiled at her, waved my hand and said, "No need, since they want the prince to see it, let the prince see it." ”
"But ......"
"If the prince asks, he will say that it was sent by Concubine Jiang, what do you think the prince will do?" With that, I walked slowly around the back garden for a while.
Along the way, I met two maids, hiding behind the rockery while stealing food, while scolding Jiang Wan, saying that she was mean and reduced their food, and then said that she didn't look like that kind of person, I don't know if the vicious Mama Zhu next to her made the decision without authorization.
These maids are also interesting enough, and they like to hide in the garden and talk about it all day.
I stood by and listened to a few words, and when I saw that it was almost dark, I walked back.
The ink painting followed me tremblingly, and persuaded me to take the hairpin down all the way.
Seeing that I didn't pay attention to it, after she went back, she told Mama Chen and Si Qin everything she heard in the garden, and the three of them took turns to let me take it down.
said that although I am Zhao Rongxian's new favorite, I can't pluck the feathers on the tiger.
When Zhao Rongxian entered the door, the three of them were chattering non-stop.
As soon as I heard that Zhao Rongxian had arrived, I was stunned, and I hurriedly wanted to pull out the hairpin on my head.
However, I didn't give them a chance, and before their hands reached out to my head, I immediately walked over to Zhao Rongxian, bowed to him slightly, and said with a smile, "The concubine has seen the prince......
When Zhao Rongxian lowered my head, he really saw the hairpin on my head.
His face changed slightly, and he asked me, "Why did you put the phoenix hairpin on?" ”
"Back to the prince, it's Jiang ......"
Before the words of the ink painting fell, I immediately took it, "Back to the prince, it was sent by Concubine Jiang, saying that the grandmother beside her offended me this morning, and sent a phoenix hairpin worth more than 1,000 taels to make amends, by the way, go to bad luck." ”
Sure enough, hearing my words, Zhao Rongxian's eyes immediately darkened.
He's not a fool, and I've said it so clearly, there's no way he doesn't understand, unless he doesn't want to understand at all.
Looking at Zhao Rongxian's gloomy gaze, with a somewhat gloomy face, Mama Chen and Mo Hua were a little scared.
Mama Chen felt that she was the oldest, so she wanted to speak out to defend me.
But before her words could be spoken, Zhao Rongxian suddenly said to me again, "This phoenix hairpin is very beautiful, very flattering to you." ”
"Since this Concubine Jiang gave you a gift, you should also prepare a copy and send it back, don't lose the courtesy." With that, he reached out and took me into his arms again.
As soon as Mama Chen saw Zhao Rongxian stretching out her hand to hug me, they immediately retreated, and then closed the door tightly.
Only me and Zhao Rongxian were left in the room, so I immediately pushed him away.
Zhao Rongxian's hand froze in mid-air, and after a while, he asked me with a cold face, "What are you doing here?" What's the temper again? ”
"I didn't lose my temper...... I turned around and walked towards the back room, and said calmly, "The concubine just thinks that now that Concubine Jiang is pregnant, she is the one who needs to be accompanied the most, so you better go and accompany her." ”
"Are you jealous?" Zhao Rongxian's cold voice immediately became delighted.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but laugh, "If the prince thinks so, then you should be jealous of your concubine." ”
"Since the concubine is jealous, why is this king embarrassed to accompany others?" He was thick-skinned, and as he spoke, he came up and put his arm around my waist, and then tried to untie my clothes.
"Lord Wang, you better go and accompany Concubine Jiang!" I immediately took his hand, to be honest, I'm not jealous, I'm also down-looking now, I just don't want him to touch me.
But the more I was unwilling, the more presumptuous Zhao Rongxian's actions became.
He directly hugged me, then pressed me to the bed, and said gently, "Don't be angry, my husband has never betrayed you......"
Never betrayed? Where did the child in Jiang Wan's womb come from?
