115th Outer Chamber
The sword hanging above her head fell for a sudden reason, and Mrs. Cui was completely stupid.
Every word Kong Siquan said was understood by Mrs. Cui; But these words were connected together, but Mrs. Cui didn't seem to know them, and she couldn't understand the meaning of Kong Siquan's words.
Grandpa Guo colluded with Wei Jian? How is this possible!
Since ancient times, few families have died well in the battle for storage positions. The Xie family is extremely wealthy, and Grandpa Guo's biological mother is the eldest princess of Ping'an, no matter which prince ascends the throne, Grandpa Guo is their cousin. Why should Grandpa Guo take such a risk!
"Impossible! That's impossible! Mrs. Cui said without hesitation: "Grandpa Guo is a gentleman and will never be involved in the battle for the throne." Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treacherously failed my niece; It's that he and the crown princess are not tolerant of people, and they have repeatedly made things difficult for my Xie family......"
The more Mrs. Cui went down, the more confident she felt in her heart, and a strange thought flashed in her mind, and Mrs. Cui subconsciously ignored the past.
She sarcastically said with indignation: "How much does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hate the Xie family in his heart, thinking about putting the Xie family to death all the time, and even not hesitating to label the Xie family as a rebel, is he afraid of the military power in the hands of my nephew?" β
Hearing Mrs. Cui's words and talk about Xie Xiaohou, the brother of the county lord of Yonghe, Kong Siquan was in his heart, and his words were beaten: "Mrs. Cui, you are cautious." β
Mrs. Cui didn't know the inside story, and mistakenly thought that Kong Siquan was weak-hearted. A sneer appeared on her face, and she pressed step by step: "Is it because I guessed the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, Kong Zhonggui, you have a weak heart?" Grandpa Guo's mother is still alive and well! Kong Zhonggui is not afraid of his mother, she will go to the temple to cry for the first emperor? β
"Madame doesn't have to use the eldest princess of peace to threaten me. Our family just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sued Xie Guogong for colluding with thieves, which is ironclad evidence, and Madame doesn't have to be lucky. Kong Siquan took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve and threw it in front of Mrs. Cui.
The thin paper fell flutteringly from the air, and without waiting for the maid to make a move, Mrs. Cui bent down and picked up the letter herself.
After glancing at the contents of the paper, Mrs. Cui's fingers holding the letter paper clenched suddenly, and the green tendons on the backs of her two hands were bulging, as if the letter in her hand weighed a thousand pounds.
There are only a few words on the letter: Shocking day: When the son was born, King Yong attacked the city.
Mrs. Cui trembled and was terrified to death. She couldn't have recognized her husband's handwriting, and the seal. Mrs. Choi had seen her husband in his study more than once.
Why? Why is he so confused!
Kong Siquan watched coldly as the expression on Mrs. Cui's face continued to change, and slowly took a sip of the clear tea soup in the red porcelain teacup.
He was just about to open his mouth to say a few more words, when a man dressed in black pushed the door in, and Kong Siquan's gaze froze.
I saw that the man was wearing an extremely hideous ghost mask on his face, and the eyes that were exposed outside the mask walked to the main seat without squinting, and whispered a few words in Kong Siquan's ear.
Mrs. Cui only looked at the man's lips that opened and closed slightly. As for what the man said, even if Mrs. Cui tried to prick up her ears, she still didn't hear a word clearly.
"Alright, you can go down." Kong Siquan suddenly waved his hand at the mysterious man.
Watching the man stride away from Kexuan, Mrs. Cui's heart was up and down, and she didn't know if this man would bring bad news or good news.
Kong Siquan squinted at the worried look on Mrs. Cui's face, and a little smile appeared in his gloomy eyes, and he said slowly: "Although Xie Guogong is Madame's pillow person, Madame, you don't know much about Xie Guogong......"
After Kong Siquan finished speaking, he instantly put away the smile on his face, and his dark voice revealed a sharp voice: "Bring people up." β
Kong Siquan's voice fell, and Jin Wuwei outside the door shouted "yes".
After a while, two guards walked in with a beautiful woman with her mouth gagged.
Kong Siquan said with a smile: "Does Madame recognize this woman?" β
Mrs. Cui's eyes fell on the woman in front of her.
This woman looks like she is just in her prime, with dark clouds and sideburns, and plain clothes. A charming, delicate melon seed face, snow-white skin, curved willow eyebrows, a pair of apricot eyes shouted shy and timid, as if they could speak, the real charming eyes are like silk, Chu Chu pitiful.
Madame Cui frowned. Without him, looking at this woman's temperament, there is no half of everyone's beautiful style, but like a concubine, a female branch, etc.
"Kong Zhonggui, the concubine doesn't know this girl." Mrs. Cui's face was calm, but her graceful and dignified eyebrows still showed a bit of disdain.
Kong Siquan smiled softly, his eyes playful: "But as far as I know, the person next to Madame's pillow is very familiar with this jade lady." β
Hearing this, Mrs. Cui was stunned at first, and then as if she had heard some big joke, she covered the corners of her upturned mouth with a handkerchief, and said with ridicule: "Even if Kong Zhonggui wants to wronged our grandfather, he has to make up a decent statement." Who in Beijing doesn't know that my father-in-law is upright and not close to women. Every time there is a banquet, even if there is a dancing girl to give her arms, Grandpa Guo has always been unpretentious. Kong Zhonggui slandered our grandfather and grandfather, and even a three-year-old child would not believe it. β
Kong Siquan let out a "tsk" when he heard this, and looked at Mrs. Cui's eyes with a little pity.
This Cui Shi looked like a very shrewd woman, but she was tricked by the person next to her pillow, and now that the facts are in front of her, she stubbornly refuses to believe it. It's either that Cui's is too stupid, or Xie Jin is too good at acting!
"Madame, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, let's listen to what Yu Niang has to say." Kong Siquan raised his hand.
A guard stepped forward and took out the sweat towel that was stuffed in Yu Niang's mouth.
Yu Niang immediately choked a few times, and when her throat eased up, she bowed down to Mrs. Cui's seat, and said softly in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Cheap concubine Yu Niang, please say hello to the master mother." β
Mrs. Cui raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "A dirty thing like you is also worthy of insulting the lintel of our Xie Guogong's mansion?!" β
Yu Niang was stunned by the scolding of the Duchess of Xie Guo, her palm-sized little face rolled down two lines of crystal tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine knows that she is from a humble background, and she never dares to delusionally climb the high gate. It's just that the grandfather of the country took pity on the concubine's body like a wanderer, so he gave the concubine a piece of tile to cover her body. Madam, the concubine knows that you don't like me, but now, the concubine has the flesh and blood of the grandfather of the country......"
", Hugh is talking nonsense!" Although Mrs. Cui is very well-educated, she can't listen to it anymore when she hears this. She couldn't bear to pick up the tea cup on the table and smashed it in the direction of Yu Niang......
Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Yu Niang hurriedly took three steps back on her knees. Rao is like this, and a piece of broken porcelain that jumps high is still slashing towards Yu Niang's face......
Seeing this, Yu Niang hurriedly blocked it with the back of her hand, although her face was saved, the sharp porcelain piece left a shallow scratch on her snow-like skin, and red blood beads instantly appeared on the wound.
Yu Niang frowned slightly, looking at the back of her hand oozing blood, shocked and frightened, her soft voice said infinitely poignantly: "Madam, you are also a mother. As the saying goes, motherhood is stronger, you think about it in your heart, the concubine herself can endure hardships, but you can't let the child in the womb drift away with the concubine...... Madam, the children of the concubines are also the flesh and blood of the Xie family! Have mercy on this child, so that he may recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. β
Mrs. Cui was angry. Her lips were slightly open, her chest was even more violently undulating, her pale face became a little purple, and if it wasn't for pinching her palm hard, Mrs. Cui would have almost fainted.
"You Hugh is going to bite the evil fetus in her womb! I don't care whose seed you are carrying in your belly, but why didn't you inquire in advance before you bit my grandfather? My grandfather is upright and upright, a slut like you can't get into his eyes at all! β
"It turns out that the lady doesn't believe the words of the concubine." Yu Niang laughed miserably, "Don't hide it from Madame, Grandpa Guo has never planned to take the concubine back to the house." The concubine has been drinking the maid's decoction since she was seventeen years old and has been drinking the maid's decoction, and it has been ten years now. β
"Seventeen?" Mrs. Cui raised her eyebrows and sneered, and said mockingly: "If Grandpa Guo has been good with you for ten years, why haven't I, the lady of the main room, heard a little rumor." If it's really a clever mouth with a lotus tongue, I'd like to hear what else you can make up! β
Mrs. Cui's words were sharp, every sentence was like a knife, and Yu Niang had a hurt look on her face. She looked at Mrs. Cui with tears in her apricot eyes, and there was a hint of sobbing in her voice: "Madam, Grandpa Guo has always been very careful, probably because he doesn't want you to know." But two months ago, Grandpa Guo got drunk and broke into the small courtyard where the concubine lived alone in the middle of the night, and had a night with the concubine. In the early morning of the next day, Grandpa Guo encountered an emergency, and hurriedly left with the guards, forgetting to tell his subordinates to prepare a soup for the concubine. The concubine wanted a child too much, and the ghost was confused and secretly left the child......"
Mrs. Cui's eyes were slightly dazed. She remembered the cold she had three months ago, Grandpa Guo was on duty in the yamen, and the bowl happened to rest in the yamen. When I heard that I was sick, I rushed back early in the morning, and even wore the wrong boots because of this......
Mrs. Cui knew that she shouldn't doubt her husband because of a cheap's nonsense, but she still couldn't help but feel a chill in her bones.
Mrs. Choi's mind struggled to recall the circumstances of that day, remembering what her husband was wearing, and the look on his face, his mannerisms, and what he had said......
Mrs. Cui still remembers the temperature of her husband's fingers touching her forehead, when she had a low-grade fever that had not subsided, and her husband's fingers were a little cold because he came back from riding a horse in the early morning, and the temperature on his forehead even made Mrs. Cui sigh comfortably.
There was a faint scent wafting through the air. Mrs. Cui blocked her nose, and the smell seemed to be vague and erratic, and Mrs. Cui once suspected that there was something wrong with her sense of smell, so she would smell wrong.
Later, the doctor came in to check the pulse, and Mrs. Cui ignored the smell.
Now that I think about it, it is clearly the aroma produced by the fat powder that belongs exclusively to the woman!
Mrs. Cui's face slowly faded to blood.
She thought that her husband would always rest in the duty room of the yamen seven days a month, and she felt distressed for her husband's dedication to his duties and hard work.
Although her husband is not smooth in his official career and is almost mediocre, Mrs. Cui has always been proud of being able to marry such a gentleman.
It turned out to be nothing more than a lie......
Those details that were once overlooked once you think about it...... No, where can you stand up to deep thought?! A miserable smile appeared on Mrs. Cui's face, which was as white as snow.
Kong Siquan was not wrong, she had never recognized the person next to her pillow. It's her who is confused! She's deaf and blind! A fool who lives in lies all day long!
Looking at the poor jade lady in front of her, such a pitiful delicate state, that innocent and glamorous mixed style, so tempting, so seductive!
Mrs. Cui laughed at herself, as the daughter of the Boling Cui clan, she can be proud, noble, dignified, elegant, kind, and gentle...... She has all the temperament and demeanor that everyone should have, but there will never be the frivolity and foxiness of Yu Niang!
But her husband is close to such a woman. Mrs. Cui is as cold as iron. Xie Jin ruined this family with his own hands...... She should hate, but she can't! She also has children of her own!
Mrs. Choi closed her eyes in pain.
