Chapter 12: Blackmail
Xiaoyu slapped his face and laughed: "Ah Xuan is so stupid and cute." ”
Yao Jingning laughed out loud when she saw it, Ah Xuan didn't know what everyone was laughing at, so she turned around and smiled, revealing a few little white teeth.
Zhong Weiwei reclined on the beauty couch and smiled comfortably: "I never thought there would be this day." I used to think that Ah Yuan and I would not live to grow up. ”
Yao Jingning was thoughtful, and Xiaoyu asked, "Why?" ”
Zhong Weiwei said: "Because it's too hard and too difficult, your father has been suffering since he was a child, and he has been on the line of life and death several times, and he almost can't survive." ”
She lightly told several major events that Qiu Yuan had passed by, as if she was talking about it for the children, but it was actually for Yao Jingning.
Yao Jingning had heard these things in her early years, but she was not so detailed, and at that time, Qiu Yuan and her were just irrelevant strangers, no more thrilling than Zhong Weiwei saying it in such a flat tone.
"Suffering makes a person strong enough and can also change a person's temperament and behavior. Sometimes, he sees problems and handles things differently than ordinary people, and what he does is for the good of others in his opinion, but it may not be what others need. ”
Zhong Weiwei was meaningful: "In my early years, I was seriously poisoned and sick, and I just wanted to arrange everything for Your Majesty, and then leave and die quietly to avoid emotional injury." But His Majesty did not appreciate it, and he said that I could not make decisions for him. So, what's going on with you and Ah Yuan? Did he do something sorry for you? ”
Yao Jingning lowered her head, stared at the tip of her shoes and didn't speak, her eyes gradually sour.
Qiu Yuan did a good job, he didn't do anything to be sorry for her, the only thing that made her unhappy and disobedient to her was Zhong Yi's matter.
But what really made her sad and disappointed was the suicide note incident.
How do you talk to the queen? Say her husband doesn't love her?
But in this world, 10% of the couples are blind and dumb marriages, and how many couples are truly in love? It's good to be able to treat each other as if you were a guest.
Maybe she was too demanding and thinking too much, right? In the words of his parents and sister-in-law, it is called Zuo.
Zhong Weiwei saw that she refused to say anything, and it was not easy to force her, so he said: "If it is an external factor, I can solve it for you; If it's your own reason, it's up to you. The children are innocent and cute, you are all good parents, I won't say more, I just hope that the two of you are considerate of each other, be honest, and talk more if you have nothing to do, otherwise he doesn't know what you think, you don't know what he thinks, and it is inevitable that you will drift away and become more and more separate. ”
Yao Jingning moved her lips, but she didn't tell the truth after all, she only said: "I know, Sister don't worry, I know what to do." ”
Zhong Weiwei stopped talking and called the children over, asked the palace people to teach them to play games, and tested the school's homework in front of them, and let this eldest brother take the lead for them and set an example.
Living in the palace, food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of, the high palace wall keeps all the irritability outside outside, the emperor and queen have a harmonious relationship, and from time to time they want to have a small garden party, the children are innocent and cute, and the palace people are also good at singing and dancing.
Yao Jingning recovered quickly, recovered, the child gradually grew up in her womb, Qiu Yuan's condition is gradually improving, I heard that she will be able to take care of the things over there soon, and rush back as soon as possible.
More than a month later, she calculated the time, and it was almost time for Qiu Yuan to come back, so she began to fidget, thinking about how she should face Qiu Yuan, how to have a showdown with him, and how to negotiate with him.
When she thought of an idea, Qiu Yuan didn't have any news at all.
asked Zhong Weiwei, Zhong Weiwei said that Qiu Yuan went to Jiujun City halfway, because he wanted to move the capital, and made some adjustments and constructions, so he stopped by to take a look.
However, Yao Jingning felt that something was wrong, the queen mother had recently raised a baby, and the news may not be completely accurate - if His Majesty the Emperor deliberately concealed it, the queen would not want to know the real news.
She decided to figure it out on her own.
In the evening of that day, she took a walk in the garden near the Jiaotai Palace, and when she saw Concubine Lu coming out of the Palace, she sent the maid away and stepped forward to block Concubine Lu.
Lu Chun didn't have any palace fights and things to worry about too much recently, she had gained some weight, she looked very rich and pleasing, and she greeted her with a smile: "Mrs. Qiu, what about a walk?" Congratulations. ”
Yao Jingning is a direct person, and basically said straight words without detouring: "The two children in Bell Hutong are Niangniang's younger brothers? ”
Lu Chun thought that she had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are merciful, and allow me to keep a line of blood in the Lu family." ”
"These two children have always been taken care of by Qiu Yuan, and before he went to the south on an errand, he did not forget to ask me to take care of these two children." Yao Jingning knew that Lu Chun had misunderstood, "I have seen these two children, they are very good-looking, very sensible and polite, if they continue like this, it will be a blessing for the Lu family." ”
Lu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and said very well: "Chengenhou and Mrs. Cheng are good people, we remember your affection, if there is anything that needs to be done by our sisters, we will do our best." ”
Yao Jing looked at Lu Chun quietly, and said softly: "So, please tell me the true situation of Qiu Yuan, is he still alive?" ”
Lu Chun's eyelids jumped, and then he laughed even more exaggeratedly: "Ahaha, is Mrs. Qiu joking with me?" Of course Aki-sama is alive, and alive and well. At least that's what I know. ”
Yao Jingning stared at Lu Chun's eyes without saying a word.
Lu Chun stared at her intently, holding his head high, with an expression of "the truth is sauce purple, you don't believe it".
Yao Jingning immediately knew that he was not Lu Chun's opponent, and he couldn't get any useful news from Lu Chun, but one thing was certain, something must have happened to Qiu Yuan.
She bowed her head slightly: "Excuse me." ”
Lu Chun smiled and walked away, turned around and smiled.
Yao Jingning turned her head and called Yuanzi and Xiaoyu over: "Shall we pick up your big brother?" ”
and won the love of the children, the two children didn't think much about it at all, and happily followed Yao Jingning to pick up and again on the way.
Yao Jingning naturally went to the palace where she lived again, Lu Huanting sat under the porch doing needlework, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but be stunned, and got up and saluted a little crampedly: "Mrs. Qiu." ”
and very shrewd: "Qiushuang, you go to serve tea." ”
Lu Huanting almost ran away, Yao Jingning waited patiently, waited until the children played in one place, got up quietly, successfully found Lu Huanting's hiding place, and said firmly: "Ah Yuan has an accident, do you know?" ”
Lu Huanting raised her head in a daze, her eyes were uncontrollably soaked with tears: "I know." ”
Sure enough, Yao Jingning's nails pinched into his palm: "Tell me." ”
