Chapter 159: Punishment
Jing Hu followed the princess and Jing Xun into the mansion, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Most of the maids and servants in the inner courtyard were in a hurry, and no one dared to come forward to say hello when they saw their group. Mama Hu, who was beside the princess of the county, was standing on the second gate, waiting for them.
Jinghu knew that something was wrong, but he didn't know why. I could only try to lower my head as much as I could, hoping that something that she hadn't sneaked out of would be discovered.
Mama Hu quickly stepped forward, her face was serious, and there was no trace of a smile.
"Slaves and maids to the prince, the princess, and ...... The small county lord greets him. ”
Although Jinghu was shocked in her heart, she really didn't have anything to be surprised about, she had already been discovered, she simply walked in front of the princess, waiting for Mama Hu to say the next words. The princess noticed her movements and quietly pulled her.
Jinghu didn't move.
"The prince of the county is in the main courtyard at the moment, sending slaves and maids to wait for the prince, the princess and the little county lord. Please also ask the three masters, and follow the slave and maid over now. ”
She thought that it was the princess of the county who was going to trouble her, but it turned out that her father knew about it so quickly.
She was going to sneak out of the house, and she couldn't get involved with Jing Xun and his wife, who were dedicated to helping her.
She hadn't been to the princess's main courtyard for a long time.
The princess of the county is in the main courtyard, but she has always been very simple, and the poetry and literati style pursued by the princess of the county have never been understood by her father in his life.
It is said that her father asked to marry her as a step-concubine because he accidentally got a poem she made. I heard that it was once rumored to be a good story.
It's ridiculous, her father doesn't know how to write and ink at all, how can he appreciate the poems made by the women in the boudoir? Now she understands a little, and maybe it's just her father's political calculations.
It's just a woman, even if it's a wife? Even if the family behind her can be relied on, he can still have three wives and four concubines in the inner courtyard and enjoy the blessings of all people. At this point, her eldest brother really learned a lot from his father.
But she has always felt that it is not for nothing that the princess of the county lives like this. When husband and wife get along, there is always a run-in, and they must always be humble and accommodating to each other. But she never seemed to have been, and there was never anything in her house that her father liked.
It's not flattering, it's arrogant, and it's not a good thing in a marital relationship.
The princess of the county and the prince of the county are sitting on the chair of the prince in the main courtyard at the moment, sitting on the left and right, it is rare to see them sitting together so calmly in these years. It's to punish her.
And there was a man kneeling in front of her father, who was her mother.
As soon as he entered the main room, Jinghu knelt down, "My father punished me for grounding, but I begged my third brother and third sister-in-law to take me out secretly. ”
The princess sneered, "Of course I want to punish you, you don't have to say it so tragically, as if you have taken responsibility for someone else." It's your fault. ”
Jinghu didn't speak, her mother looked at the princess of the county, and opened her mouth coldly, "Hu'er is just messing around, if you want to go out, you have to ask the prince and the princess to agree." If they don't agree, how can I get out? ”
"Don't put the cart before the horse, if you want to punish, the prince and the princess can't escape!"
As her mother spoke, Jinghu glanced at her. However, after a few days of not seeing her, she was almost thin and out of shape, and her originally smooth and flawless face was now almost only a layer of skin, looking old.
She subconsciously felt that it should not only be for the fact that she was going to be promised to the prince of Nanyi Hou.
The king of Yongning put down a cup of tea, just like that day in the study. But not towards Jing Hu, but towards Jing Xun behind her.
Jing Xun sneered, met the gaze of the King of Yongning, and then squatted down, brushed away the broken porcelain on the ground with his hand, and knelt in a mess.
He has long been accustomed to it, no matter what it is, as long as it can involve him, he will always be punished by him in the end.
"Today's incident has nothing to do with the third sister, it's that I'm bored and want to pull someone to accompany me to the pear orchard to listen to the play. I happened to think that the third sister was also at home, so I took her with me. It's a big deal, why should the prince of the county be so angry. ”
"Xun'er, you ......" The princess of the county naturally couldn't sit still, and wanted to defend her son, but was interrupted by the king of Yongning stretching out his hand.
"You don't know that your sister was grounded by me? Or do you dare to defy even my commands now? ”
Jing Xun smiled again, looking like a hanger. "The third sister is seeing that she is all about to marry, what ability does she have to resist you, and you still want to confine her at home, are you afraid that she will hear something?"
"You are the head of the family, what do you have to be afraid of."
"Bastard!" King Yongning quickly stood up, walked to Jing Xun's side, raised his foot and kicked it on Ting's shoulder.
"Xun'er!" The princess couldn't sit still, and ran to Jing Xun's side to protect her son.
Jing Xun knelt on the ground again, protecting his mother behind him. "The prince of the county is really good now, knowing that I am often walking in front of Jinshang now, and I also know that hitting people is not a slap in the face."
He did have times when he was stubborn in the past, but later, no matter what happened, he always felt that it was his fault, and used family law on him without asking.
He never told him anything, he just kept using violence against him, against his mother.
How many times had he tried to tell him that those things were not his fault, and that he had never heard of them. Only what he thinks is right, and when he is his father, he only knows how to punish him blindly.
He didn't expect much from him anymore.
The princess also knelt beside Jing Xun, "Please calm your anger, today's matter is my idea, I saw my third sister washing her face with tears at home all day long, so I couldn't bear it." The prince of the county can just punish me. ”
Her words were undoubtedly slapping the King of Yongning in the face. She is a sister-in-law, and she knows that she cares about her sister-in-law like this, and the king of Yongning County is Jinghu's father, but he ignores her and pushes her into the abyss.
Jinghu had never really rebelled against her father. But today she couldn't do nothing.
"The third brother and the third sister-in-law protect me, but my father must also know what is going on today. It's my fault, I shouldn't have disobeyed my father's orders, but I had to do it against you. ”
She raised her head and met the burning eyes of King Yongning County, she didn't feel scared at all, "You don't have to look at me like this. I have disobeyed you today, and not only today. I will not marry the prince of Nanyihou, and I will not do anything that you impose on me. ”
"Just look at it."
