201, dead.
When Jing Ning heard the eldest princess ask, her expression tightened, she opened her mouth, and lowered her eyes, "The surname of the people's husband is Ji, and everyone calls the little woman Aunt Ji." β
The eldest princess of the protector of the country gripped her chin tightly with her hand, and her eyes, which were already a little cloudy, shot with semen, staring at Jing Ning, as if she wanted to look into the depths of her soul.
"Aunt Ji?" The eldest princess of the protector repeated.
"Yes." Although her jaw hurt from being touched by the armor of the eldest princess of the Protectorate, Jing Ning replied without saying a word, neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The eldest princess of the Protector Country had a cloudy face, and in the face of Jing Ning's calm gaze, she felt a little overwhelmed, she looked at her directly, and slowly spoke after a while.
"You were talking to Nian Nian about a self-combing girl, where did you come from?" The eldest princess withdrew her hand, and she saw a little blood on her jaw.
She looked at Jing Ning carefully, looking at this scarred face, her eyes changed and changed.
After a moment, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's me who is obsessed, Jing Ning has been dead for so many years, but it's just a pair of similar eyes." β
Jing Ning's palms had been pinched by her fingernails, she suppressed the churning heart, and her face was as calm as possible, "Because it is a watchman, it is similar to self-combing." β
"You stand down, it's a gaffe in the palace just now, Mama Su, wait for someone to send a box of Mr. Zhang's concocted paste over and let her wipe her wounds."
The eldest princess of the Protector turned around and commanded in a deep voice.
Mama Su nodded.
Jing Ning stood by the door, watching Gu Nian help the eldest princess of the country to walk away, her body shook, and she hurriedly grabbed the pillar on the side, so that she didn't fall to the ground.
The eldest princess sat on the couch, her eyes looking out the window, her lips pursed into a thin line.
"Grandmother, do you miss your mother?" Gu Nian sat next to her and asked cautiously.
The eldest princess turned her head and looked at her without speaking.
Gu Nian had already forgotten her mother's quiet face, and her grandmother's gaffe just now made her wonder.
The eldest princess of the Protectorate lowered her eyes, "Your mother has been gone for so many years, I have never had any other thoughts, since I knew that Zhang Lao Thief dug her grave, I actually have a trace of impossible expectations in my heart.
I hope your mother is not dead, but she doesn't know where to go.
My grandmother also knew that this was wishful thinking, but in my heart, I was unwilling. β
She clenched her hands into fists and tapped on her heart.
Gu Nian's breath stagnated, she lowered her eyes to cover the sourness under her eyes, she understood her grandmother's heart, she forced a smile and comforted,
"Maybe my mother is living a good life elsewhere, after so many years, maybe she has been reincarnated and is about to get married."
The eldest princess patted her hand, "I hope so, my grandmother is always afraid that because of the old thief Zhang, she will hinder your mother's reincarnation." β
Gu Nian eased the atmosphere, "Then why don't we invite someone to come to the door to make a dojo, or simply do a ritual for my mother in this Huangjue Temple?" β
The eldest princess shook her head, "After retrieving your mother's ashes from Old Thief Zhang, you have already done the ritual, forget it." No more tossing. β
Her tone was sad and deeply lonely.
Gu Nian bit her lip and asked slowly, "Grandmother, did you just say that Aunt Ji's eyes are very similar to my mother's eyes?" β
"Yes, if it weren't for that face, it wouldn't look like your mother, but those eyes would be exactly the same as your mother." The eldest princess sighed.
The eldest princess's words made Gu Nian seem to have figured out something.
Maybe Daddy is also very different from Aunt Ji because of her eyes?
She was very sure that the fat powder fragrance on Aunt Ji was given to her father, this was specially made by her, and it was impossible to buy it outside.
After the Buddha Bathing Festival, life gradually returned to peace.
Xiao Yue was busy, but Gu Nian's days were back to leisure.
When she returned home from Huangjue Temple, Jingning was still taken back to the Jin Mansion by Gu Nian, she originally proposed to leave after the Buddha Bathing Festival ceremony, and was left by Gu Nian.
"You are alone, where are you going, it's rare for Xu'er to fall in love with you like this, and it just so happens that he should also be taken care of by someone your age.
If you don't dislike it, I would like to ask you to take care of him by Xu'er's side. β
"How could I be disgusted." She sighed, but didn't say anything more.
Anyway, for the time being, she followed Gu Nian back to the Jin Palace.
During this time, Gu Nian's days were very peaceful, and if he wanted to say that he was not calm, the only thing was the matter of Zhou Yushu and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
After returning to the capital from Huangjue Temple, the eldest princess of the protectorate took Zhou Yushu to naturally live in the Jin Palace, but returned to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
Gu Nian's days were free, so he walked back and forth between the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion and the Jin Palace.
On this day, when she went to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, she saw Zhou Yushu sitting there with her head down.
"That family is all wolf-hearted, don't think about it anymore, you just make yourself sad if you think about it."
Zhou Yuyan sat next to her and enlightened her.
Zhou Yushu smiled bitterly, "I know the truth, even if my grandmother is not like my mother-in-law, I can't get by in the Hou Mansion."
If she can harm her thoughts, she can harm me. β
She pursed her lips and mentioned that the Hou Shizi of Pingyang was no longer as full of love as before, but full of resentment,
"I'm worried about three children, I don't go back, what will happen to the children? Will they be allowed to live in the hands of their stepmothers in the future? β
The eldest princess of the Protectorate patted the table, "If I were you, I wouldn't think about this, but how to take care of myself, you know, if you fall, who do you expect to treat them well?" Pingyang Hou Mansion is those three indiscriminate? β
Zhou Yushu has also figured it out these days, he used to live with a temper in the Hou Mansion, but he didn't even know himself, and his face was hateful, "Grandmother, I am the one who knows the Hou Mansion...... That's why I'm so scared. β
The Hou Mansion and his mother's family were torn apart, and they secretly contacted the four princes in private.
With such a head-off thing, she definitely didn't want her child to fill in her life.
"They don't have a chance, are we still afraid of the Zhu family? Don't forget what else we have in our hands......"
Zhou Yushu thought about it and pursed his lips.
"Your Highness, someone is here from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion......" Mama Su came in to report.
The eldest princess of the Protector Country, whose face was originally happy, suddenly brought a trace of condensation, "Please come in." β
It was the prince of Pingyang Hou who came, and when the eldest princess of the protectorate left Huangjue Temple, she only returned Meng Ru to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, but did not return Mrs. Pingyang Hou.
Originally, at this time, the Hou Mansion could go to the yamen to sue the eldest princess of the country, but Mrs. Hou of Pingyang did such a thing, how could the people of the Hou Mansion dare to go?
I just hope that the eldest princess of the protector will be able to dissipate her anger and suppress this matter for a few days.
Pingyang Hou Shizi waited for the past few days to come over, just to take Zhou Yushu and Mrs. Pingyang Hou back.
So far, there is no evidence that Pingyang Hou Shizi has anything to do with poisoning Gu Nian.
But living in a mansion, it is impossible for a shrewd person like Hou Shizi of Pingyang not to know at all.
For the sake of his future, he can put aside a good rich life in the capital and do nothing, and he went to the poor countryside to work as a county magistrate for several years, just to get through his qualifications.
Also avoid eating the old books of your ancestors.
Now, he has suffered such a big loss, how can he be willing to give up?
It's amazing to be able to endure it for a few days.
Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat people, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, people like Hou Shizi of Pingyang can probably do anything for the sake of their careers.
He suffered a loss and was deceived, not necessarily thinking about himself, but how to retaliate.
However, the eldest princess of the protector of the country did not care how Pingyang Hou Shizi would retaliate, she sat on the chair, raised her chin, and looked coldly at Pingyang Hou Shizi, who had not said a word since she entered the door.
In the past, he was facing a loving elder, but now he sees only a sharp and stressful eldest princess.
Pingyang Hou Shizi lowered his head, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse and hoarse, "Grandmother, I'm here to invite Shu'er home......"
The eldest princess of the Protector lowered her eyes to cover the flash of ridicule, "It's not appropriate, right?" β
Pingyang Hou Shizi has never suffered such embarrassment, nor has he felt such a strong wrist of the eldest princess.
He clenched his fists, held back the bitterness in his throat, and knelt down towards the eldest princess with difficulty, "Grandmother, you know that too...... My mother is not at home now...... The family needs someone to run the ......"
The ridicule in the eyes of the eldest princess of the protector slowly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by deep scrutiny and scrutiny.
Why is Mrs. Pingyang Hou seriously ill? Everyone knows it tacitly.
However, the Hou Shizi of Pingyang could still endure such a big feud, knelt down towards the eldest princess, and begged Zhou Yu to go back.
Back then, when he asked to marry Zhou Yushu, he also knelt at the door of the Hou Mansion for three days, and he was able to treat himself like that at that time, and now he can still bear it so much and calm down.
He was able to let go of his body like this and toss himself to death, and the eldest princess of the protector became more and more impossible to let Zhou Yu return to the Hou Mansion.
She put the tea cup in her hand on the table, not wanting to have a verbal lawsuit with Hou Shizi of Pingyang.
Her tone was extremely cold, "Why don't I put your mother back, God knows, you know I know, you know whether Shu'er will go back with you, you also know very well."
At this point, you still think that Shu'er can go back, haven't you woken up yet? Dreaming like that? β
Pingyang Hou Shizi hung his head and didn't speak, and after a long while, he looked at the eldest princess with red eyes,
"Grandmother, I know that my mother did something wrong, she shouldn't listen to other people's words, thinking it was a laxative, but I didn't expect it to be poison, but, grandmother, my mother has been punished, I have a doubt in my heart, I really want to ask my mother, and I hope that the old lady will be successful.
Besides, Shu'er and I have three more children......"
Things have reached the point where there is no turning around, and Pingyang Hou Shizi still has to hold on to Zhou Yu.
Gu Nian accompanied Zhou Yushu, Zhou Yuyan sat in the east room and listened to Pingyang Hou Shizi's crying plea, only feeling creepy.
made her believe that Hou Shizi of Pingyang was because she loved Zhou Yushu very much, and she couldn't do without her, and it was impossible to believe it if she was killed.
If you really love Zhou Yushu, it is impossible to accept a concubine in the east and a room in the west to meet Zhou Yushu.
The eldest princess of the protector knocked her fingers on the table, interrupting him,
"It's normal for people to worry about their mothers for their children, but what can you do if you see them?"
She paused and continued, "Marriage is not revenge, now, our two families have made enemies, what do you have to take Shu'er home?" β
Pingyang Hou Shizi, who asked this, lowered his head, and he said in a low voice, "One day husband and wife ......"
The eldest princess of the protector laughed, her patience had been exhausted, "Save it, there is no grace between you, only hatred."
What a wonderful girl she was? is generous and bright, but what has become of your family? What did you say when you asked to marry? How did you treat her when you married into your family?
Now there is still the incident in which I hurt your mother, and you ask yourself, can you live with it? β
After a pause, the eldest princess of the protectorate continued, "Needless to say, there is only one way in front of you now, you go back to write a book and leave the book, and then go to the yamen to record the file, and the child will follow our family." β
She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, took a good time, and said, "I advise you, or do what I say." So that everything is easy to say. β
"Since you want to see your mother so much, then go and see it."
After speaking, she called a mother-in-law to come in and took Pingyang Hou Shizi to see Mrs. Hou.
At this time, Mrs. Pingyang Hou was paralyzed on the ground and was imprisoned for a few days, and the eldest princess of the protectorate only maintained a state of making her immortal, only giving water and very little food.
In the firewood room, there is no bed, and there is no table, Mrs. Pingyang Hou has long been embarrassed, fortunately it is summer, if it is winter, it is estimated that Mrs. Pingyang Hou did not starve to death, but will freeze to death.
Seeing Pingyang Hou Shizi coming in and walking to her side, Pingyang Hou Fu reacted, and was immediately overjoyed, quickly grabbed Pingyang Hou Shizi's hand, and screamed,
"Fan'er, take my mother out, take my mother out, and you can't spare the Jin Palace, and the princess's poisonous woman, she made me miserable, you must avenge me......"
Pingyang Hou Shizi looked at Mrs. Pingyang Hou quietly, and when Mrs. Pingyang Hou saw that he didn't speak, she continued, "Look, look at my throat here, that poisonous woman almost strangled me to death, and tortured me like this, you must let them give an explanation."
No, just go to the emperor to sue the emperor. β
"You have to ask the poisonous woman for an explanation, why she slapped me, why she wanted to hang me...... Princess Jin, that slut, isn't it okay......"
The more Mrs. Pingyang Hou spoke, the sharper her voice became, and the expression on her face became more and more hideous, if she went back, she would definitely return it ten times to the poisonous woman, and the slut of Princess Jin.
"Why do you want to harm Princess Jin?" This is the first sentence that Pingyang Hou Shizi said after coming in.
"Why? Do you dare to ask me why? It's because of her that you drove your cousin home, and after King Jin came, you just guarded your daughter-in-law, and you didn't want anyone.
Why did she let you treat her like this? My son, if this is good, you should hug left and right. β
She spoke in a very high voice just now, and her vocal cords were somewhat affected because her throat was twisted by Chang Aya, at this time, she just wanted to shout loudly, but she couldn't shout.
However, this did not prevent the hatred on her face from getting deeper and deeper, and her whole face was completely distorted.
"Who gave you your medicine?" Pingyang Hou Shizi continued to ask.
Mrs. Pingyang Hou was still very excited at first, but she closed her mouth and didn't speak.
"Mother, ask again, who gave you the medicine?" Pingyang Hou Shizi said sharply, "If you want to die here, hide it, and if you want to live, just tell me." β
He looked at Mrs. Pingyang Hou's face step by step, locking it tightly, not missing any expression on her face.
Mrs. Pingyang Hou swallowed her saliva and said, "It's okay to tell you, you must take your mother out, what is your father doing?" Why didn't you come over?
Did he go to those aunts again? This old immortal, stinking ......"
Pingyang Hou Shizi stroked his forehead, "Tell me quickly." β
"It was given to me by the medical girl Mingzhu of the Tai Hospital, and she was also handed over on behalf of the queen, because of the matter of King An, the queen looked at Princess Jin very unpleasantly.
After knowing that I had a holiday with Princess Jin, the queen asked the Ming Medical Lady to come to me and said let's join forces, so that Princess Jin could make a big mistake.
That laxative, it takes a long time for the effect to take off, and the Ming doctor said that on the Buddha Bathing Festival, if the princess of Jin can't help it, she will be filthy, and she will not have the face to walk around in the circle of nobles in the capital at that time. β
Pingyang Hou Shizi didn't expect his mother to be so naΓ―ve, and was moved by someone in a few words, and carried the black cauldron.
Ming Doctor Girl!
His face changed suddenly, wasn't the Ming doctor the one who accepted it from the emperor and became the imperial concubine?
So my mother was a scapegoat, but it was someone else who benefited.
He clenched his fists, now his mother is still locked up with the eldest princess, and Zhou Yushu can't take it back.
He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to Mrs. Pingyang Hou, "Mother, if you wait here for two days, the child will definitely come to pick you up." β
When Mrs. Pingyang Hou saw that he was leaving, she screamed in fright and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "You unfilial son, you left your mother here, are you human?" Are you taking me out?
Take me out. β
Pingyang Hou Shizi endured it, staggered his back molars, broke Mrs. Pingyang's hand, and escaped out of the firewood room, "The child is going to see the eldest princess now, and I will definitely find a way to rescue you." β
Mrs. Pingyang Hou held the door of the firewood room and kept shouting and scolding, "You unfilial thing, you are careful of the thunder and thunder, you can even throw your mother ......"
The words became more and more unpleasant, and the Hou Shizi of Pingyang hurriedly walked away, and only when he could not hear the voice of Mrs. Pingyang Hou that he stopped and said to the mother-in-law who led the way, "Can you take me to see Your Highness again." β
The woman didn't speak, just turned a corner.
After seeing the eldest princess of the protector again, he didn't say a word, and knelt in front of the eldest princess, "Grandmother, can you let me see Shu'er, I want to say a few words to her." β
The eldest princess of the protector sneered, "Needless to say, it's all here, what else is there to say, just do what I say, presumably, you went to see your mother and know the ins and outs of the matter."
You know who is right and who is wrong.
I won't be able to lock up your mother for a few days, but I just want to vent my anger, and when the time comes, I will definitely change her to your family.
As for Shu'er, see if you want your mother, or ......"
The eldest princess of the country is to let the Hou Mansion choose, whether she wants the life of Mrs. Hou of Pingyang, or Zhou Yushu and the child.
A mother has only one life, but a wife and children can marry again and be reborn.
Pingyang Hou Shizi raised his head suddenly, and looked at the eldest princess of the protector with sharp eyes, where is this choice, it is clearly to cut the flesh on the Hou Mansion.
Whether it is Mrs. Pingyang Hou or Zhou Yushu and the child, the reputation of the Hou Mansion will not be good in the future.
When the time comes, even if you marry again, what kind of girl from a good family can you marry?
This old pious woman, Pingyang Hou Shizi couldn't help cursing in his heart.
The eldest princess of the protector usually looks kind, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
But in the face of the eldest princess's ridicule, Pingyang Hou Shizi couldn't help but bow his head.
He restrained his thoughts, with a little murderous intent and coldness in his eyes, and endured all the anger that the eldest princess was about to be provoked by the merciless behavior, "Then I'll ...... another day"
The eldest princess of the protector snorted coldly, "There is no need to change the day, I have a steward here, he is very capable, and you know him, just let him marry and leave the book with you."
As for those dowries or something, both families had a list back then, and I will let the people of the Hou Mansion carry them when the time comes. Also, there is no serious housewife in your house, and the three children can be brought back together. β
She saw that Pingyang Hou Shizi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, so she reminded coldly,
"You have to think clearly, what to choose, I think you better go back and ask your father."
Pingyang Hou Shizi pursed his lips and did not speak.
After he said 'um', he slowly got up and moved out of the flower hall step by step.
Outsiders don't know what Pingyang Hou Shizi is thinking, but he knows it himself.
Without waiting for the Pingyang Hou Mansion to send someone to deliver the letter, the eldest princess ordered it to be carried out, and after the Pingyang Hou Shizi left for a while, she sent a steward to the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
The unforgivable mistake of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not so easy to end.
When it was not dark that day, the steward of the eldest princess came back with the book of Heli and Zhou Yushu's dowry, and the steward of the Pingyang Hou Mansion who came with her.
I came to pick up Mrs. Pingyang Hou.
On the eldest princess's side, she really did what she said, and asked her to take the steward to take Mrs. Pingyang Hou back.
Originally, I thought that this matter would settle down.
On the second day, when he went to court, the emperor severely reprimanded the Marquis of Pingyang, and his family was not peaceful, how to do things on an errand? not only accepted the errand in the hands of Pingyang Hou, but at the same time, severely reprimanded Mrs. Pingyang Hou.
The people in the palace went to Pingyang Hou Fu and scolded Mrs. Pingyang Hou for being inferior to a beast and being cruel by nature, which was a shame for women.
The people in the whole capital were dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand why the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was reprimanded by the emperor like this.
Not only did I lose my errand, but I also lost my face.
The emperor said that Mrs. Pingyang Marquis is a shame for women...... How did she survive?
Can't live anymore!
The emperor scolded her like this, if she didn't end herself with a rope, the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion would become the laughing stock of the capital and even the world.
didn't wait for Mrs. Pingyang Hou to commit suicide, and something even more incredible happened.
Mrs. Hou, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, didn't know why, the whole person became debauched, as long as it was a man, whether it was the housekeeper, the servant, or the lowliest servant, just like a hungry wolf seeing meat, her eyes lit up, and ordinary mother-in-law couldn't pull it.
Originally, as soon as the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, such a thing was intercepted in the inner courtyard.
But no one in the Hou Mansion said that he leaked his mouth, and within a few days, everyone in the capital knew about this ridiculous thing.
Zhou Yushu heard it, thinking of the torture that Mrs. Pingyang Hou had tortured her in the past, and sneered, "It's really a wicked person who has evil retribution, and God will accept her." β
Otherwise, well, how could it be like that?
Is it a man who pounces up?
is always scolded by the heavens, but how many are really taken away?
Who said God was going to clean them up? It was the Great Protector who would clean them up.
If Mrs. Pingyang Hou dared to do this to her granddaughter, she dared to chop off the hand that stretched out to make trouble.
Since the Pingyang Marquis Mansion dared to do such a thing in private, it would have to bear the corresponding consequences after the matter was exposed.
The future days of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion will not be easy.
Moreover, Xiao Yue can also take advantage of the chaos in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to check whether he has contacted the four princes during this time.
The four princes are now like mud in the sea again, and they are gone.
Mama Zhang, who was next to the queen mother, had already interrogated her, although she was a pawn placed in the palace by the four princes, she had never seen the person who connected with her and assigned tasks.
Mingzhu, although there is a thread between the queen mother and Mrs. Pingyang Hou, there is no sign that she has a connection with the four princes.
Xiao Yue didn't believe that the four princes had such great skills, the Mo family had already been stared at to death, and they didn't dare to act rashly, and now, they could only start in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Soon, the people sent out by Xiao Yue found that Pingyang Hou often went to a teahouse to drink tea.
If it was in the past, it would be nothing, but recently Mrs. Pingyang Hou just died, and she lost her errand again, even if she wants to pour out her sorrows, she should go to the tavern.
