Chapter 5 The Drama Begins
On the lively street, Jing Kanghou, who had just finished the morning court, was sitting in a sedan chair boredly, and his face sank again when he thought of the sarcasm of Zuo Xianglu Kaiyan this morning.
Lu Kaiyan and his deceased wife Xue Qing were once brothers and sisters, and they knew that his dissatisfaction was also because he cared about his other daughter, so he could only endure it.
He doesn't want his daughter to be good, but his daughter is born stupid and a waste of spiritual roots, no matter how hard he works, His Majesty can't let his valued son marry a fool, this daughter has always worried him.
While thinking about it, the sedan chair suddenly shook a few times, only to hear the shouts of the guards outside.
He frowned and lifted the sedan curtain and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hou Ye, there are a few Diao people who broke into the road and disturbed Hou Ye, and his subordinates drove them away. After speaking, he walked to a few people in front of the sedan car.
The three ragged thugs were fleeing in a panic, and the guards tried to block it, but they slipped like a loach and went towards the sedan chair, so that the sedan chair driver had to put down the sedan chair.
"Don't snatch my jade pendant, give it back to me, give it back to me!" Miss is still waiting for me to go back to save my life, please, give me back ......" The woman with dirty, dry and messy hair cried and cried bitterly behind her, her voice was sad and desperate, and the people next to her couldn't help but be a little moved.
Seeing the woman's fierce and desperate pounce, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but a few gangsters seemed to be frightened, and fell to the ground without checking for a while, and the jade pendant in his hand rolled out, but it happened to fall to the side of the sedan chair.
Jing Kanghou frowned and subconsciously looked at the jade pendant that rolled off the side of the sedan chair, but this look made him change his face.
Stretched out his hand to pick up the jade pendant, his eyes were suspicious, and when he turned to the sun and finally saw a faint smooth Mu character in the jade pendant, his face instantly became gloomy, and his sharp eyes looked at the few Diao people who were making trouble again.
Seeing that something was wrong, a few thugs were dragged by the woman on the escort and had slipped away.
The woman was still yelling, repeating 'Give me back the jade pendant, Miss is still waiting for help'
He couldn't help but get out of the sedan chair and walked towards the woman quickly, even though the woman was crazy, her face was purple and bruised, and the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, but it didn't prevent Jing Kanghou from recognizing it, "You, you are Xue Niang?"
The crazy woman's screams stopped abruptly when she heard the voice, looked up at the familiar middle-aged man who appeared in front of her in a daze, and suddenly covered her face as if she had been stimulated by something and turned around and ran.
Everyone was caught off guard, and when they came back to their senses, Xue Niang had already gotten into the crowd and ran.
Jing Kanghou's face was still surprised, and he immediately ordered the guards to hurry up and catch up.
The frightened woman fled back into the alley, took out the bamboo ladder hidden in the grass and was about to climb up and over the yard, but her hands and feet were weak, and the climb was too difficult, and she slipped down several times, but was finally found by the guards.
Several guards surrounded her, and when they realized that behind the courtyard wall was also the Jingkang Marquis Mansion, they directly regarded this woman as a thief.
Jing Kanghou soon followed, looking at the sloppy woman holding the bamboo ladder, her eyebrows twisted into a pimple, and her face was covered with dark clouds, "Xue Niang, can you explain to Ben Hou, why are you here if you don't take good care of Miss?"
After Xue Niang saw Jing Kanghou, her body trembled even more, and she suddenly knelt down with a thud, her head kept knocking on the ground, "Master Hou, please do well, let Miss go, the tiger poison does not eat children, please, Miss is dying, don't torture her anymore, we are willing to leave the Hou Mansion forever......"
When Jing Kang Hou heard this, his face was even more ugly, looking at Xue Niang, who was crying desolate and sad, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "What the hell is going on, Xue Niang, what are you talking about?"
The things that Mu Ran knew in her previous life were all told by Xue Niang, so she thought that the people in the palace were the culprits who tortured her, and she included everyone in the Hou Mansion among the enemies from the beginning.
It was only later that he learned that Jing Kanghou didn't know everything about Ling Muran's abuse, he always thought that his daughter was well taken care of by his current wife.
Until Ling Muran forced Jing Kanghou to remove Ling Yanran's name, the two fathers and daughters didn't know the misunderstanding, Jing Kanghou was already dissatisfied with the second daughter's husband as soon as his daughter regained her senses, thinking that she was ungrateful and ruthless, and the later persecution and removal made Jing Kanghou extremely disappointed in this daughter.
Most of the help Ling Yan received then came from Jing Kanghou.
One wrong step, one wrong step, and finally embarked on the road of no return, the previous life seemed to be beautiful, but in the end, it was she who betrayed her relatives, but Ling Yanran seemed to be standing in the position of the victim.
In this life, even if she can't really accept them because of the things in her previous life, it doesn't prevent her from making good use of them, Ling Yanran, I want you to reap the consequences of your betrayal, be spurned by thousands of people, and be ridiculed and disgusted by the world.
In the small courtyard, the girl with the disheveled hair was lying on the ground, pulling the mound next to her with both hands, grabbing something and stuffing it into her mouth from time to time, looking worse than a beggar on the side of the road.
As soon as Xue Niang came in, she saw the embarrassed girl and immediately ran over with an exclamation, "Miss, Miss, ah, Miss, this can't be eaten, spit it out." ”
"Woo, hungry, hungry, eat ......" The girl's dirty hands were grabbing weeds and trying to stuff them into her mouth, and when she saw Xue Niang, she still wanted to give Xue Niang food, so that Xue Niang couldn't stop crying, "Miss, my poor miss." ”
Jing Kanghou, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, looked at this scene as if he had been electrocuted.
This is his daughter?
"Master Hou, pawning the jade pendant is the idea of the slave maid alone, the grass roots that can be eaten in the yard have been eaten, and there is nothing to eat, Miss can't hold on at all, if the Hou Ye wants to punish the crime, the slave and the maid have nothing to say, but please let the lady live, even if it is better to become a beggar than here." ”
Jing Kanghou took a step back in a daze, raised his eyes to look at the dilapidated and panicked abandoned courtyard around him, and then looked at the pitted grass all over the ground, and finally his eyes fell on the embarrassed girl who was still struggling to pull out the dead grass, raising his hand to hide his face, and his face was distorted in pain.
He thought that his daughter would at least have a high bed and soft pillows, a high body, delicious food, and a worry-free life, but he didn't expect it......
The grass roots are filled, the roof tiles are incomplete, the cold jacket is like iron, a few months ago it was beautiful and lovely, although the daughter who is demented but will also spoil him is now skinny and ugly!
The guards who followed behind secretly looked at each other, and they were also a little surprised.
They have heard some words that the treatment of the eldest lady does not seem to be very good, but a fool can't care more about them, and they just heard about it, thinking that no matter how bad it is, they will be ignored and suffer some grievances, but they didn't expect to fall into such a field.
Thinking about the joyful scene of the lanterns hanging high in other parts of the Hou Mansion now, the face of Mrs. and Miss is like a spring breeze, and compared to here, it is desolate and desolate like a garbage dump, and they suddenly shivered inexplicably.
When Mrs. usually talked to Hou Ye about the eldest lady, they also heard it, and the smile and kindness on her face showed that she cared about how the eldest lady was good and how she took care of her, but now she only felt sarcastic.
