Chapter 1: Concubinage

Next Chapter

July in the seventh year of Longwu is the hottest time of the year in Zhuzhou City.

In the mansion of Ronghai, the capital of the garrison on the South Zhou Road, the people of each courtyard could not survive the scorching heat, and took advantage of the master's lunch break to quietly drill the sand to hide from the lazy children.

And in the Cuihua Courtyard of the Governor's wife Hu, no one dared to rest.

The maids and mothers around the Hu family and the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Rong family, Li Jingyi, all stood respectfully under the porch, pursed their lips and listened to the sounds in the main room.

Li Jingyi, the county lord of Ruihe, looked at her mother-in-law Hu Shi who was sitting leisurely at the top in disbelief, her high combed bun was inserted into a double-layer pavilion gold sideburns, and Li Jingyi's eyes ached, "Mother has already decided?" That's not what you told my mother in the first place?! ”

As soon as she was pregnant, her mother-in-law asked her husband to take a concubine? It's still Hu's niece?! Li Jingyi couldn't believe that these words came out of the mouth of the Hu family, who had always prided himself on talking about rules, and couldn't help but ask again.

The wife of the Grand Governor, Hu, was born in the Hu family, a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou, and usually has the most important demeanor, even if Rong Hai is not at home, as long as he stands in front of others, he will definitely dress up carefully, and strive to make himself worthy of the identity of the Lady of the Grand Duke.

Today she is in a good mood, deliberately picked a silver and red satin field yarn wrapped in a peony gown, under the light green water skirt, although it is nearly forty years, because of proper maintenance, but still like a thirty people, charming and fresh, more like a bride than the elegant daughter-in-law Li Jingyi.

Hu Shi elegantly put down the crystal cup with ice beads hanging on it, and smiled warmly, "Yes, when our lord asked the eldest princess to marry, he promised that you are the only wife of Yizhi, and now I am not asking Yizhi to divorce his wife and remarry, let alone ask him to learn from those sons who have no rules to do business, and get a flat wife to come out, just give him a concubine, you are the county lord from the royal family, don't you even have this amount of tolerance?" ““

"At the beginning, your mother tried her best to tell me that you are the most virtuous lady, Jingyi, don't disappoint me and Yizhi," Hu Shi trembled and did not see the wrinkled skirt, "The wedding banquet will not make you tired, and when Xue Ying enters the door, I will naturally ask her to come over to give you a gift,"

Li Jingyi is not the daughter of an ordinary noble family, she is the only daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang and An Guohou of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the lord of Ruihe County, if it wasn't for the Hu family's hard work, and repeatedly promised her mother that she would treat herself well, how could she marry into the Rong family with no foundation?

"Mother, do you really want to do this? It doesn't matter even if I write to my mother? Li Jingyi sank her face, she married into the Rong family for three years, and she has always been submissive in front of the Hu family, that is because the Hu family is her mother-in-law, not that she is really afraid of this Grand Governor's wife.

Now that people don't miss the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they bully their own doors, so she can't be blamed for fighting back.

Hu Shi didn't answer Li Jingyi's words at all, she glanced at the crystal cup on the table next to Li Jingyi, the grape juice in it had been drunk by Li Jingyi, and said with a light smile, "Actually, there are some things you don't know, Xue Ying, I grew up with Yi Zhi since I was a child, I think at the beginning, Yi Zhi said that he must marry Xue Ying as his wife when he grows up,"

It may be that her mother-in-law's words are too piercing, Li Jingyi's lower abdomen has a faint pain, she holds the armrest of the high-backed chair hard, so as not to let herself fall, "So what? Rong Zhi forgot about the former alliance and lost Hu Xueying to marry me in the capital? Now you think about sorry Hu Xueying again? ““

Hu Shi was stabbed in the face by Li Jingyi's sharp words, she was bent on rubbing her niece and son at the beginning, but her husband was seeking the lack of the governor of Nanlu Road, in order to get the support of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion and Qin Shilang, she had to ask Li Jingyi, whom she didn't like at all, to be his wife.

Fortunately, her niece is sensible, and she is in love with her son, and she has never complained, but now she has finally waited for a chance, and it is time to ask the eldest princess of Jinyang for her grievances for many years.

"That's right, it's our Ronghu family's business, aren't we compensating Xue Ying now?"

Looking at Li Jingyi's whitening face, Hu's heart was extremely happy, and his smile became brighter and brighter, "By the way, there is one more thing, I have to tell you in advance, so that you don't think that our Rong family has deceived you,"

She covered her lips with a pink embroidered white magnolia silk, and said coquettishly, "Xue Ying, she is already pregnant, and it will be three months soon, you say, for the sake of my eldest grandson, can I not welcome her into the door?" But don't worry about it, when Xue Ying is born in the future, we will record this child in your name, and then our son Xue Ying will be the eldest son of the Rong family,"

Maybe the future is too beautiful, Hu's cat-like eyes are bent into a shallow moon, "Then let's go to the capital to send a message to your eldest princess mother and Hou Grandpa, they don't know how happy they should be!" ”

"You, you don't think, you,"

Her stomach really hurt so much that Li Jingyi couldn't sit down anymore, she stood up tremblingly, "Mama Jing, Mama Jing,"

She is obviously pregnant with a child, why should she ask an adulterous son to be recorded in her name, and she still bears the name of the eldest child?!

Because the Hu family invited Li Jingyi to come over to talk to Li Jingyi about "private words", the subordinates brought by Li Jingyi were all blocked out of the door, but their voices talking inside were not small, and there was only a layer of gauze curtains.

Hu's reaction was faster than Mama Jing's, she looked at Li Jingyi who fell to the ground suddenly with a surprised expression, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with that? Come on, come on! ”

When Mama Jing and Li Jingyi's maid Lingxin came in, they saw Li Jingyi lying on the ground curled up in pain, and the bloodstains on the long moon-white skirt were like blooming blood lotus.

Mama Jing is the eldest princess of Jinyang specially prepared for her daughter to accompany the dowry, the most experienced, but seeing such a situation, she already knows what happened, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Madame, Madame, please ask for a doctor,"

Why did his master miscarry after a while?

"What miscarriage? What are you talking about, the young grandmother she just fainted for a while, come on, go and invite Dr. Qu to come over to give the young grandmother a diagnosis, Hu's voice is louder than Mama Jing, she has already released the news that Li Jingyi is pregnant,

Now that she has drugged Li Jingyi's fetus, the son she "gave birthto" in the future will only be the flesh and blood of her niece.
