Jiang Ran listened quietly, and for some reason, he heard a little desolate.

A line of tears slipped from the eyes of the concubine, even after so long, she couldn't help but feel sad when she remembered everything at the beginning.

In these years, it is also the first time to analyze people's original feelings, and of course it is also the last time.

Her life was extremely humble, and the scene that made her low to the dust had already been deeply engraved into her heart.

"I just wanted to go and see him once in a while, but the old lady, the old lady, noticed something, and then, that day, she took me by the way, took the roster, and asked me which one was more suitable for him. You know, it's like a basin of cold water poured on my head. ”

There was a hint of tears in the concubine's eyes.

She seemed to see her past self through this layer of tears.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

A small face the size of a slap has a weak demeanor, and the whole person seems to be delicate and wants to go away with the wind.

She held a handkerchief and took the roster handed over by Mrs. Zeng, and the girls on the roster were all real famous ladies.

The roster stung her.

Her hands rubbed the sleeves of her dress until they were crumpled, and she could only hear the voice of Old Madam Zeng echoing in her ears.

"You grew up in a small place, you are careful, and you are naturally very clear about your cousin's preferences, you can see for me, which girl is more suitable?"

Her body was trembling, "Aunt means to choose a suitable girl for her eldest cousin"

The word wife, she bit her lip, but she couldn't say it.

The lip was also bitten, and the whole person looked more and more delicate.

Old Madam Zeng couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted in her eyes, but this soft-heartedness was finally slowly suppressed, and she said meaningfully, "Your sister has been canonized as the queen, and Lian'er should start a family and start a business, and she can't delay it any longer." ”

Her voice became lower and lower, "What does my aunt want?" ”

"Appearance is secondary, temperament should be good, and the most important thing is that the lintel should be equal."

The lintel is quite equal, and the four words are like a mountain pressing on her heart, and even breathing is painful.

After a while, a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth, "I think it's all good." ”

Mrs. Zeng was guilty, "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely find a suitable family for you, and she will never treat you badly, and your dowry will be taken care of for you in the future." ”

Her face suddenly turned pale, interrupting Old Madam Zeng's words, "Aunt doesn't have to be so tempted, I never have other ideas. ”

She has always been polite, this sentence is already very rude, Mrs. Zeng grabbed her hand, and said repeatedly, "I'm sorry." ”

Mrs. Zeng became more and more guilty, and said, "I'm sorry, it's just that Lian'er is the eldest son and grandson of the Zeng family, I can't help but think about the Zeng family, don't worry, you"

She stood up suddenly, "I understand my aunt's kindness, I never thought of getting married, I just wanted to live alone for the rest of my life." ”

Mrs. Zeng thought she was angry, "You blame me?" ”

She shook her head, there was no trace of blood on her face, she looked more and more weak, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that the truth that she had borne alone was a joke, and she said word by word, "You all go down, I have something to say to my aunt." ”

Mrs. Zeng didn't know why, so she drank the girl's mother-in-law.

One by one, she removed her shirt, revealing a scar on her abdomen.

This scar surprised Old Madam Zeng, and she asked worriedly, "How did this come about?" ”

She said lightly, "The last time I went to Beijing with my cousin, I met robbers. ”

The grievances in her heart were finally infinitely expanded at this moment, and she couldn't bear the expansion anymore, and then tore all the wounds and returned it one by one.

The guilt on Mrs. Zeng's face could not be concealed, she put on her clothes one by one with tears in her eyes, "You are stupid, why have you never mentioned it, but you can leave sequelae." ”

Then he took her in his arms.

She lay in the arms of the old lady Zeng, but there was no temperature in this arms that she wanted.

She said softly, "The doctor said that you can't have children." ”

This sentence knocked Old Madam Zeng into collapse in an instant.

Old Madam Zeng hugged her body, and the whole person trembled.

Then he said without hesitation, "Why don't you mention it, I will take you into the palace tomorrow, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and your sister is also in the palace, you just said that you were going to accompany her, I asked her to find the best imperial doctor to treat you, you can rest assured, no matter whether the cure is good or not, my Zeng family will definitely take on this responsibility." I'll fix the book right away and talk to your father about your marriage. ”

Responsible?

She smiled slightly, even if the Zeng family was responsible, she wouldn't get what she wanted, did she really want the Zeng family to marry her in the gesture of charity, three years and five years later, because there was no heir, she would take a concubine again.

This feeling has ceased to exist since the moment she spit out the truth.

The bitterness on the corners of her lips, and when she looked at the guilty look of Old Madam Zeng, for some reason, she actually had a hint of pleasure in revenge.

"There's no need for marriage, I said it, not to blackmail my aunt, but I want to go into the palace to accompany my cousin."

Old Madam Zeng looked at her firm gaze and didn't know what to say.

Eventually, she stepped into the court as a cousin.

The palace concubine sneered at her openly and secretly, she watched her cousin gradually immerse herself in the joy of preparing to be a mother, and since the imbalance in her heart appeared, she could no longer suppress it, and gradually exploded.

And the sacrifice at the beginning gradually turned into remorse, and it was a little irrepressible.

My cousin was very good to her, but this kind of goodness became more and more difficult to heal with the kind of suspicion that she and the Zeng family tore apart.

The wounds in her heart could not be healed.

The concubine thought about the past, but she only felt cold.

She reached out and wiped away her tears.

Before you know it, all these years have passed.

Over the years, she has been the most noble concubine in the eyes of all people.

Virtuous and virtuous, people are praised.

Only she knows that deep down in her heart she has long been insensitive.

She finally came to her senses from her memories.

Jiang Ran watched silently from the side.

The tears on the concubine's face were wiped dry, there was still a layer of tears under her eyes, and the look on her face was hateful, imitative, broken, and painful.

Jiang Ran and the concubine fought a few times.

Every time the concubine gave her the feeling of being indifferent, gentle and loving.

But he acted ruthlessly and left no room for error.

People are dying, and their words are also good, and the concubine at this time is probably the most true idea in front of people.

Jiang Ran somewhat understood why Old Madam Zeng had been crazy for more than ten years.

It's not resentment, but probably some self-blame and remorse.

Because of this trace of guilt, even if this woman harmed the Zeng family tragically, Mrs. Zeng couldn't resentment freely.

That's the most painful thing!

The concubine looked at Jiang Ran, "What is your mood now?" Is it disdain, or with a hint of sympathy, or disdain. ”

Saying that, the concubine laughed arrogantly, "I have understood a truth since I was sixteen years old, other people's opinions do not matter, no matter what he thinks, whether it is resentment or sympathy, it cannot change what I have experienced." In that case, why don't I go ahead and pay back the pain that has been inflicted on me exponentially. ”
