Hearing this, Ling'er looked at Jin Gui with a particularly contemptuous look and said: "No wonder Jin Gui says that you are stupid, you see, I can now stand by Mrs.'s side, and I have become a tea girl, which naturally means that Mrs. has let go of her vigilance against me!" ”

"If I still have some unrealistic fantasies about the prince as before, can Madame let me stay with her like this?"

"Mainly, I looked at these women in the backyard of the prince, except for our wife, all of them were miserable. Every night is alone in the empty room, so it is not miserable. So I also figured it out, even if I was really fortunate enough to be a concubine by the prince, the ending would be just like that, I want them to be like these women, stay alone in the empty house, and survive a miserable life, I don't want to be like this! ”

When Jin Gui heard this, he looked at her with a mocking look on his face and said, "It's right for you to think so, the relationship between Mrs. and the prince is not as simple as you imagined. Okay, serve well by Madame's side, behave well, in the future, Madame will accompany you with a rich dowry, and promise you a good family, which is definitely more comfortable than what you are to be a concubine! ”

Ling'er smiled and turned her head to look at Jin Gui, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, so she asked, "Jin Gui, do you have a favorite girl?" Have a fiancée? Can you decide to be a family? ”

Ling'er suddenly asked this, Jin Gui suddenly came to his senses, and after a while, he shook his head dumbly and said, "I don't have a favorite girl, and I don't have a marriage, what's wrong?" What do you suddenly ask about this? Do you want to introduce me to a girl? ”

"Yes! Do you want to think about it, you also know it! ”

"Who!" Jin Gui felt that there were only a few people she knew, and she didn't know who she was going to introduce to herself, but she still had some expectations in her heart.

Ling'er saw his stupid appearance, her cheeks were a little powdery, her big eyes looked at him directly, and after a while, she said, "Jin Gui, what do you think of me?" Mine is actually quite good-looking, I was generous just now and didn't bother with that old thing, and I can be regarded as kind-hearted! Or you marry me! ”

Marry you......

Jin Gui's eyes suddenly widened, and he took a step back fiercely, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stammered a little: "Ling'er, you ...... You're not kidding......"

Isn't that crazy...... Suddenly talking like this, it's like a different person, or the previous Jin Ling'er who looks a little ambitious and a little scheming seems to be more pleasing to the eye......

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Ling'er said and stepped forward to chase him closely, and said with a smile: "It's true, anyway, the man is unmarried and the woman is not married, and I don't look so ugly, but I have done some stupid things before, if you don't mind, go back and think about me carefully, okay?" ”

Jin Gui saw her rather serious look, and didn't seem to be joking, so he cooperated with her, nodded and said, "Since you said so, then I'll think about it when I go back, but don't have too much hope...... After all, the marriage event, the order of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker, I actually ...... I can't do the ...... of the Lord."

"It's okay, business can't be benevolent, even if we can't be husband and wife, it's better to be friends!" Ling'er said as she raised her feet and walked forward, turned her head to look at him and said, "You can think about it slowly, don't be in such a hurry to answer me, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Jin Gui nodded, looked at her figure getting farther and farther away, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with this Jin Ling'er today?" Suddenly say these inexplicable words, but should you think about it? ”

After a while, he shook his head fiercely, his mind was chaotic, and he couldn't think of anything at all, so he sighed and said, "It's better to go home and ask your father and mother first, they are in a hurry to hold their grandson and go crazy......"

It's just that the last time the prince gave him a few days off, the girls he saw were either ugly or didn't look down on him. In those days, he was devastated a lot, and he didn't want to go when his father and mother mentioned each other later.

It's just that he is married and has children, as long as the woman looks about the same, has the same temperament, is not stupid or lazy, and is filial to her parents, he is not very picky, in fact, think about it carefully, Jin Ling'er ...... It's okay, right......

After all, in the northwest, he had gotten along in those months, not to mention anything else, just with her good needlework, he was quite shocked at the time, he didn't expect that the woman who came out of the farmer could actually make such exquisite needlework? At that time, he still thought that if his future wife could have such good needlework, there would be no need to spend money to buy clothes outside.

Hehe, it seems like I'm thinking a little too much...... It's better to stop, otherwise I'm afraid I will really have to explain to Jin Ling'er!

At dusk, the gatekeeper brought a bowl of gruel with clear soup and little water to Mama Chen, put it at the door and left.

Mama Chen, who is used to living a comfortable life and eating good meals, is really hard to swallow when she looks at this bowl of porridge. But his stomach was grumbling with hunger, and if he didn't eat it, he was afraid that he would starve to death in this dungeon, so he picked up the bowl of porridge with trembling hands and drank it slowly into his stomach.

A bowl of clear porridge went down to her stomach, her stomach was slightly better, but she didn't have the comfortable feeling of fullness as before, she turned her head to look at the food box placed in the corner, couldn't help swallowing, and slowly moved over.

The wound on her back was still hot and painful, but she didn't have the slightest way at the moment, slowly opened the food box, looked at the already cold food, she swallowed her saliva, stretched out her hand and wanted to pick it up and eat, suddenly remembered what Jin Ling'er said, and hurriedly retracted her hand.

She burned for a long time, and she was hungry for a long time and had no strength, but this retraction of the hand action was suddenly a little shaky, and accidentally knocked over the food box, and all the food in it spilled out.

She sighed, slowly retracted into the hay, hugged her trembling body, and tried to sleep, but closed her eyes for a long time and couldn't sleep.

Not long after, she was looking at the wall of the dungeon in a daze, and suddenly seemed to hear something not far away, turned her head to look, and saw two big rats, eating the spilled food, she felt a little disgusted, so she shrank back.

The two rats had eaten happily for a long time, presumably full, and then they were swaying around the box, and after a moment he was looking at it, and he noticed that something was wrong with one of the mice, and seemed to be convulsing.

She hurriedly folded her body and stretched her neck to look, and sure enough, within two blows, the mouse rolled over, with its big belly facing the sky, and its legs straightened, and it was not long before it died of exhaustion.

She took a piece of hay and poked the mouse, but she didn't respond for a long time, and when she went to look at the other one, she was already dead in the corner.

She gasped, swallowed hard, blinked her eyes and lay back into the hay in disbelief, and after a moment, muttered, "How is that possible?" Miss really wants to kill me? ”

"She actually wants my life? I'm his nurse, a and a handful of urine since I was a child, and I pulled her up! ”

"Miss, I didn't expect you to be so vicious, and you don't even want to leave a way for the old slave to live!"

Mama Chen suddenly remembered that she comforted her when she cried before, and helped her with advice when she was sad, and her heart was suddenly full of sourness, after all, she was not her own child, a white-eyed wolf!

Mama Chen blew the hay indignantly, gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, from now on, you and I will be the master and servant, and you will never be righteous!" ”

When it was dark, not long after Li Ye returned to the study, he heard Jin Fu say that Wang Xinyu was coming. He knew in his heart what she was here for, but it was the main room, and everyone came, and it seemed that he couldn't say anything if he didn't see her, so he asked Jin Fu to invite her in.

As soon as Wang Xinyu came in, he directly blessed himself, stood in front of Li Ye's desk, looked at him fixedly, and asked, "The concubine dares to ask the prince what he plans to do with Mama Chen?" ”

Hearing this, Li Ye raised his eyes, glanced at her lightly, and said after a while: "Approaching the end of the year, such a dirty thing happened in the palace, and it should have been directly executed." But thinking that she is your nurse after all, and it is not suitable to see blood in the moon, this son decided to spare her life. ”

When Wang Xinyu heard this, he immediately laughed excitedly, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked again: "Then the prince of the world, how do you plan to deal with Mama Chen?" ”

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, just a slave and maid, just sell it directly."

"Selling? So where are you going to sell it? Mama is old, and she can't endure hardship! As soon as Wang Xinyu heard that it was going to be sold, she panicked. Since ancient times, slaves and maids who have made mistakes have been sold to those places where there is no light, and when Mama is old, she will not go to those dirty places where there is no light. However, if she didn't ask where her mother was, she was still uneasy.

But Li Yecai didn't want to talk so much nonsense to her, so he said without raising his head: "Leaving her alive is already an extrajudicial favor for the sake of your face, if you are not willing to sell, then this prince doesn't mind, pull her out and dispose of her in private, you choose for yourself!" ”

"Don't be angry, don't ask about the concubine, if you talk and sell, then you will sell it, and Mama Chen is ignorant and has done this kind of wrong thing. It is also deserved, but I saved my life, and the concubine is grateful for the magnanimity of the prince! Wang Xinyu saw that he was a little impatient, so he didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of annoying him, and secretly except for Mama Chen.

"Okay, I don't need to say these polite words."

Li Ye continued to be busy with her own affairs, and after a while, she heard a rather embarrassed voice above her head, only to know that she hadn't left yet, but then she was heard asking: "Lord Shizi tonight, can you come to the concubine's Tingyu Pavilion to rest?" ”
