Chapter 18: The White Lotus Dew

Jin Yan saw that I was stunned, and hurriedly came up to give me relief: "Don't be afraid, princess, the slave is wrong, the slave and maid should not say this......"

I came back to my senses, brushed Jin Yan's hand away, and asked, "And then?" Did the little girl say why? ”

Jin Yan shook her head: "The little girl said that she didn't see her for the last time, but others told her that her little sister was going to be pulled away...... Mass grave, she only then knew something was wrong. ”

After listening to this, my heart was also very chaotic, a living human life, how to say that if you are killed, you will be killed.

Although I know that the subordinates of this era are similar to a commodity, and the owner can dispose of it at will.

But even then, it's personal.

I think I don't want to kill people, I don't want to kill a chicken.

And Wei Jin, a white lotus who usually prides himself on being a weak green tea person, how could he suddenly make such a ruthless death?

Jin Yan thought I was frightened, and comforted me on the side: "It's okay, princess, the slave has already given her a lot of silver, enough for her to bury her little sister......

I was brought back to my senses by Jin Yan's words, glanced at her, and thought about it again.

"Take from me how much silver you have given her." Besides, you send her a message, so that she can come to me when she is free, and I have something to ask her. ”

Jin Yan thanked her first, and then asked in a low voice, "Princess, who are you?" ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" I don't have anything to hide from Jin Yan, "Suddenly killed someone?" ”

Jin Yan didn't expect me to be so straightforward, and suddenly didn't react: "Princess, what do you mean?" ”

"I said Concubine Fang, she usually pretends to be so harmless to humans and animals, but now she can be killed directly because the girl offended her?"

As I spoke, I glanced at Jin Yan, and I couldn't figure out such a simple truth: "What's more, she just gave birth to a son, even if she is not afraid of retribution, she doesn't plan to accumulate virtue for her son?" ”

Jin Yan looked suddenly realized: "Do you think this thing is boring?" ”

, my two stupid cats can tell.

I pouted, "I'll go after combing my hair." ”

"Princess, you never care about these trivial matters, why do you wade into this troubled water......" Jin Yan asked me softly as she combed my hair.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath: "Idle is idle, if that girl's little sister is really wronged, and the concubine doesn't want to accumulate virtue for her son, it should be regarded as me accumulating virtue for my child." ”

……

The little girl was soon called by Jin Yan.

This is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and when she came to me, her eyes were still red and swollen, and she was obviously really sad.

"What's your name?"

"Slave Cui'er."

Cui'er trembled, kept kneeling, and didn't even dare to speak loudly.

"Get up and speak." I motioned for Jin Yan to move her a small stool.

Cui'er was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, the slave maid is low, how can she be worthy of being on an equal footing with the princess, the slave and maid just kneel and answer." ”

After saying this, she bowed her head deeply, and fell to the ground motionless.

I was stunned.

Although I have been in this world for some days, and I understand that people here are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the fear in this little girl's eyes is indeed from the heart.

Maybe it was the misfortune of her little sister that caused her to be very frightened herself, for fear that she would accidentally offend her master and end up with the same tragic death.

I didn't know how to persuade her, so I could only let her: "Then you just stand and reply, don't kneel." ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

After speaking, Cui'er stood up, still holding her head down and twisting her hands, looking very nervous.

I thought about it for a while, and instructed Jinyan: "You go out, watch outside, I have something to say to Cui'er." ”

Jin Yan immediately responded, closed the door and went out.

Cui'er subconsciously glanced at Jin Yan's distant back, and immediately lowered her head and stood up.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"Slaves don't know ......"

Cui'er was a little hesitant in her words, but Jinyan went to find her, and it was impossible not to say why.

"Jin Yan told me that your little sister died unexpectedly, but you have no money to bury her, so sad?"

Cui'er swallowed her saliva secretly, and pretended to be calm: "Sister Jinyan is kind and has already given the slave and maid silver, which is enough to bury Xiaoling." ”

"Is your relationship with that Xiaoling really so good?"

Cui'er heard the doubt in my tone, and couldn't help but be stunned, and knelt down in horror in a blink of an eye: "The slave doesn't dare to lie!" ”

"Xiaoling and the slave maid entered the house on the same day, and the slave and maid had no father and mother in the morning, and they took care of each other after entering the house, and they have always been close to each other. The slave and maid did not dare to lie and greed for Sister Jinyan's silver, if the slave and maid had half a word of lie, they would make the sky thunder and ......"

"Okay, okay......" I understood what she meant, and quickly stopped her.

Where did I think of it?

It seems that this Cui'er was really scared.

"Get up, that's not what I meant."

Kneels at every turn, and the efficiency of asking a question is reduced.

Cui'er cautiously stood up again, feeling her hands and feet tremble.

"I want to ask you, do you know how Xiaoling offended the side concubine? Why is the side concubine punished so severely? ”

Cui'er pursed her lips and whispered, "The slave doesn't know ......."

Oh, that's it.

Mom, I'm tired, I have to solve the case with a big belly.

I changed my posture and leaned back on the chaise longue and wrote a blank check: "Everyone in the house knows that I don't deal with the side concubine, and you also know that I am the main concubine, and she is the side concubine." If I say I want to keep you around, she won't be able to do anything to you. ”

Cui'er listened with her ears pricked up, but did not speak.

I saw that her hands were no longer shaking, and I secretly rejoiced that I was working in the right direction: "Now there is no one else here, you can say whatever you know boldly." Besides, if you really have such a good relationship with Xiao Ling, if Xiao Ling died in vain, don't you want to avenge her? ”

After listening to my words, Cui'er's chest obviously rose and fell a little stronger.

I knew she was struggling with ideas, and I wasn't in a hurry, so I just waited.

After a while, Cui'er knelt down for me.

"Please forgive the princess." Cui'er's tone was much calmer, and she kowtowed to me.

"You say."

Cui'er stood up and knelt down, still bowing her head: "Slave maid...... It's not completely uninformed......"

Ha! Bet it right!

My face was silent, still as if I was a person: "Then you can tell me what you know." ”

"Yes." Cui'er nodded, and honestly turned over all the information.

I originally didn't believe in my sister's character at all, and I wanted to ask the ins and outs of that Xiaoling with the mentality of being able to redress that Xiaoling.

But this question almost made me roll off the chaise longue in shock.

Cui'er said that the reason why Xiaoling was beaten to death by my sister was because she had a long tongue.

In this generation, it is indeed taboo for people to have long tongues.

Even if the master really has something unsightly, then the next person has to see it, but he should not see it, and if he knows it, he should not know it.

Those who dare to chew their tongues behind the master's back really don't want to live.

And what did Xiaoling say?

Xiaoling turned out to be a chorre in my sister's yard, and it was not her turn to come into the house to serve her.

But that time, my sister and son had diarrhea, and the girl in the house was clumsy and made a mess, so Xiaoling was called in to clean up the crib.

It was originally a simple dirty job, but it was crooked and let Xiao Ling see the eldest son of the palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that my sister's son was born prematurely.

I don't know if Xiaoling slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, or if she really thought so.

She praised the little boy for being really golden and jade-leafed, and he didn't look like he was born prematurely.

Maybe Xiao Ling said this unintentionally, but the listener had the intention, so it spread secretly.

The reason why it will spread is actually very simple, because everyone thinks so.

My sister's son was born white and chubby, no matter how you look at it, there are four big characters written on the door of his head, healthy and full-term.

But my sister is unmarried and pregnant.

Although I didn't say anything about it, everyone knew it.

In addition to marrying the emperor, who will marry two concubines to a man!

If you get pregnant before you get married, but the child who is born prematurely looks like a full-term child, that's enough.

And Xiaoling's words became a fuse, and when the subordinates chewed the root of their tongues in their spare time, there were small rumors that my sister's son was not born by the prince.

This is worth it, my sister was resolute and immediately beat Xiaoling to death.

This is also an example of killing chickens and monkeys, warning everyone, who dares to eat enough blind BB, Xiaoling is your role model.

It's not uncommon to change your normal days.

Even if Xiaoling was beaten to death, no one felt wronged, it seemed that when everyone did something wrong, it was the best result to have someone pulled out to take the blame.

Xiaoling is an orphan and a miscellaneous worker, and if she is killed, she will be killed, and no one will stand up for her.

Supporting the top, that is, Cui'er is like this, and secretly paid for Xiaoling to bury her.

But Cui'er's words really raised a trace of doubt in my heart.

I originally adhered to the principle of not seeing out of mind and not being upset, and I never went to see my sister's son, and I never wanted to hear how her son was, so naturally I didn't know if this child was healthy or not.

When Cui'er mentioned this, I remembered what Duanwang had told me about how he got together with my sister.

As soon as I heard it that day, I felt that King Duan was trapped, but the emperor's family had a lot of, and if the seeds were sown and the fruits were born, there would be a bumper harvest, so I included my sister in the palace.

But now it seems that there may really be a bigger conspiracy behind the rolling sheets, which is already full of suspicions.

If my sister's child is really full-term, it means that she was already pregnant before she had anything with Duanwang.

It's just that Duanwang was used by her and took the plate.

Thinking of my stepmother, Mrs. Wei, I tried to persuade my father Wei Honglang to let my sister Wei Jin marry into Duanwangfu instead of me.

If my suspicions are true, then if my sister's appearance is successful, not only can she overshadow the scandal of her secret marriage with others, but she can even rise to prominence and become a princess.

Bah! The abacus is too good!
