Chapter 39: Why?

Mrs. Ji threw the rattan aside and motioned for the family to release Ji Ming. "Since you have decided, then you have to treat others well after the girl enters the door. I heard your sister-in-law say that you were originally interested in the Su family's young lady? ”

Ji Ming got up from the bench and knelt in front of Old Madam Ji, "Yes, Erchen's original preference is Miss Su Jiaojiao." ”

Old Madam Ji took the silk silk and wiped her hands, "The outside opinion of this eldest lady of the Su family is not very good. A while ago, I heard that she was close to several unmarried brothers in Beijing, and her mother Hua's mother was not a peaceful person in the boudoir before. The fifth lady of the Su family has also inquired about her mother, and she is honest and loyal, so she is quite satisfied with this arrangement. She turned her head and instructed the housekeeper, "Butler, you go and prepare the dowry, everything is prepared according to the standard of the wife, and also, prepare a letter of worship in my name, hand it to Sufu, find the best matchmaker in the capital, and tomorrow we will go to Sufu to propose marriage." ”

The butler said that he had promised to step back and go down to do business. Mrs. Ji asked Ji Ming to help him back to the house to take medicine.

Now, the matter in the Ji Mansion has spread again. Originally, the one-sided rumors were scolding Ji Ming for being a scumbag, but now that the Ji Mansion has hired a matchmaker with a lot of money, and prepared a rich dowry to prepare for proposing, the women in Beijing began to praise General Ji for being a loving person, regardless of his concubine, he is really good to the fifth lady of the Su family.

When Rong Hao entered the palace and when he left the palace, he heard exactly two versions, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, the gossip of people in Beijing is really prevalent, as long as there is excitement, but the time of a cup of tea will definitely spread all over the city. Then I thought of the time when he and Su Xia were just together, and the wind of eunuchs prevailing in Beijing came to my heart.

And in Sufu, the sky was also turned upside down at this time.

In the past ten years, I have never heard of a serious lady in Beijing who has fornicated with someone without getting married, and it is known to the whole of the government and even the whole of Beijing. Su Wan felt that it was a shameful scourge to live, so after Su Xia sent her back to the room, she found a white silk and wanted to hang herself, but her mother found her and rescued her in time.

There was a circle of people around the bed, Su Wan's mother, Aunt Li, who was not able to fight or grab by nature, and her sense of presence in Su Mansion was very weak on weekdays, so she sat at the head of Su Wan's bed at this time, holding Su Wan's hand, and burst into tears. "Silly daughter, your father will call the shots for you in this matter, why did you think of looking for a short meeting?"

Su Wan had an obvious strangulation mark on her neck, and she was in a coma, her face was like gold paper, and her breath was like a gossamer.

Mrs. Hua stood far away, afraid of being stained by bad luck. Su Jiaojiao stood behind her. Mrs. Hua slapped the table, "Aunt Li, what you said is wrong, whose serious girl would do such a thing?" also let the master call the shots for her, how can the lord call the shots for her? The one she fornicated with was an official of the imperial court, the current commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the family was a family of military generals, should she let the lord go to the Holy Lord to sue the emperor, and I don't want to think about it, she is a concubine, and she can be matched. ”

Su Jiaojiao also answered: "Aunt Li, you didn't teach your daughter well, and now you have lost the reputation of my Su Mansion, and I may be affected when I marry in the future, I am embarrassed to mention justice, I want to ask who I want to ask for this justice." ”

Aunt Li has always been not good at words, and when she was scolded by their mother and daughter, she was suddenly speechless, and tears flowed down.

Su Xia sat at the end of the bed, listening to their mother and daughter say such bastard words, but Aunt Li was speechless and immediately became angry. "I heard that more than ten years ago, there was also this incident in Jingzhong, but the person who had the accident at that time was my father, and I don't know if it's true or not?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Hua with disdain.

Mrs. Hua was poked to the point, her face immediately turned red, and she slapped the table angrily, "You are a concubine, you dare to talk about your biological father." It is worthy that your mother died early, and there is a mother who is born without a mother. ”

Su Xia remained respectful on her face, "Mother, my aunt died early, but my mother is here, aren't you my mother." ”

Yes, the general aunts in Beijing are not qualified to let their children call themselves mothers, only Mrs. Yan is their mothers, and Su Xia is also right to say this.

Mrs. Hua's silver teeth are secretly bitten, and Su Xia, a girl, has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. "You say, now that this Su Wan has done something to humiliate the family, as a mother-in-law, a few words of lesson will not be enough, Su Xia, you are climbing the high branches of the prince's tree now, and you feel that you are amazing, right? Don't forget, the Sujia rice you ate has grown to such a big size. ”

Su Xia snorted coldly, "Yes, this Su family rice is really fragrant, it almost choked me to death back then." ”

Su Jiaojiao heard her slap for her mother, and her heart was furious, "Su Xia, you are neither up nor down, you have no dignity, I want to tell my father and let him punish you well." ”

Su Xia was neither humble nor arrogant, "Then there is Sister Lao, let my father educate me well, and you'd better be on the side and listen to it." ”

Su Jiaojiao and Mrs. Hua were defeated in the mouth cannon one after another, and with a flick of their handkerchiefs, they both left Su Wan's room.

Su Xia saw Aunt Li's crying face full of tears, and persuaded: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm already thinking of a way, it is estimated that in two days, Jifu will give Aunt and Fifth Sister an explanation." Aunt and relax, take good care of the fifth sister. ”

Aunt Li stayed at home, Mrs. Inhua was strict, and there were few maids and grandmothers waiting in the house, and the news was very closed, so she naturally didn't know that Ji Fu was already preparing a dowry to marry her daughter, and frowned, "Sixth, you said that your fifth sister has always been honest and honest, and it is the first time to meet General Naji, why did you suffer from this kind of thing?" ”

Su Xia glanced down at Su Wan's still sleeping face, "There must be something hidden in this matter." I don't know if my aunt remembers that my father was also caught raped in bed because of this kind of thing and had to marry? ”

Aunt Li naturally remembered. At that time, she was still a little girl in Washington, because she was better looking, and she was honest and honest, she had been assigned to do some sprinkling and cleaning in the outer courtyard, and suddenly one day, her second miss and Su Gongzi, who had just won the champion at that time, were caught and raped in the guest room, and everyone was shocked, and Su Gongzi had to marry his own miss. At that time, Su Gongzi had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, and the cousin's family conditions were not as good as the Hua family, so he could only be a concubine, and his second lady was the main room.

But because Su Gongzi and her cousin are very affectionate, the second lady has been neglected, so Mrs. gave her an idea to take a girl from Washington to Su Mansion and make a maid to share the love of Su Gongzi and her cousin. Because he is the most honest and honest, and he has a lot of grace, this matter is his turn.

Aunt Li nodded, "That's how Mrs. and Master were caught and raped in the guest room of Washington, and then Master married Mrs. ”

Su Xia nodded, "Auntie, you said that my father and my biological mother had such a good relationship back then, why did you suddenly have an affair with someone?" Haven't you felt anything suspicious after all these years? ”

Aunt Li frowned, "Sixth, you mean that this time the matter is actually the same as last time, who do you want to plot?" ”

Su Xia nodded, "In the hall that day, in addition to the Ji Commander, there was also a prince. The eldest sister has always coveted the position of princess, I don't know if my aunt can feel it? ”

Don't talk about Aunt Li about this matter, everyone in the family knows about it. Every time the seventh prince came to the mansion, the eldest lady always came up. Aunt Li pondered, "So, do you mean that these people originally wanted to frame the prince, but in the end, Wan'er and Ji Commander were recruited?" ”

"It's not impossible. I have already looked for the little girl who served tea in the hall that day, but someone has already sold the little girl's hair before me, and that person is Mrs. Hua. She said that the little girl had knocked over the rich bamboo in the house, broken a good piece of porcelain, and had sold the girl's hair to the house. Ren Yazi immediately took the person away, and the whereabouts of the girl could not be found later. But I have already brought a letter to the prince, and the prince will ask people to look for him outside the house, and I believe that there will be a way soon. Su Xia's fingers unconsciously tapped on the edge of the bed, today it was Ji Ming and Su Wan who blocked Rong Hao, she really couldn't imagine what she would do if it was Su Wan and Rong Hao who were caught at that time. Fulfill them, and then make a concubine yourself? She, a teenage girl of the twenty-first century, certainly cannot accept it.

But her relationship with Rong Hao has reached this point, and it is impossible for her to let go directly. Therefore, she is actually a little lucky in her heart, and she is glad that it is not Rong Hao. But looking at Su Wan who was asleep in bed, she couldn't bear it, let such an ignorant girl pay for Su Jiaojiao's ambitions, she would definitely let Mrs. Hua and Su Jiaojiao suffer the consequences.

Aunt Li was very moved, "Thank you, Xiaoliu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." You know, I've been living secretly all these years, and I'm the most thoughtless person in the house, and your fifth sister is with me, alas. ”

By the time Su Xia came out of Su Wan's room, it was getting late, and Cuihua was waiting outside the door, and when she saw her come out, she went to hold her arm. "Miss, there is a rumor outside, saying that the Ji Mansion has begun to prepare the dowry, and it is estimated that it will come to the Su Mansion tomorrow to be hired. Mrs. Ji is really resolute. The fifth lady is also blessed to marry in the past. ”

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Su Xia nodded, "Not bad." Ji Ming is also a good person, but the fifth sister is married to Ji Ming because of this matter, Ji Ming will have some resentment in his heart, we have to find the little girl who serves tea as soon as possible, and the fifth sister is innocent. Otherwise, even if Old Madam Ji treats her well in the future, Ji Ming will not treat her well. ”

Tired birds return to their nests, and the bright moon hangs high. Su Xia was lying on the bed, the pink veil had been lowered, but the light in the room had not been extinguished. The window lattice sounded softly, and Rong Hao jumped in.

Su Xia lifted the bed curtain and smiled slightly, "Lord Wang, why did you come so late today?" ”

"Today, after the forbidden army was busy, I went to Ji Mansion to take a look at Ji Ming, and he was beaten by Mrs. Ji. So I came a little late. Rong Hao untied his robe and went to bed.

Su Xia leaned on Rong Hao, and Rong Hao encircled her in his arms. Su Xia sighed, "Lord Wang, in the final analysis, it was General Ji and Fifth Sister who helped you find a thunderbolt. You have to thank them. ”
