Chapter 405: Anger
At this step today, she is the culprit! All these years, if it weren't for her, when did you get sick? β
When Mrs. Tai was alive, she loved Fang Jingyi, the eldest granddaughter who had a hard life, so although she had no parents to take care of her, Fang Jingyi's life in the house was not sad. But as soon as Mrs. Tai died, the situation changed greatly.
Nominally, she is the eldest daughter of Earl Fang and Madam Fang, and Madam Fang is an extremely good-looking person, whether in the mansion or outside, she and her biological daughter Fang Jingyan try her best to maintain a bowl of water on the surface, even if she is not happy in her heart.
When I go out to socialize, I always take her and Fang Jingyan with me. Over time, contradictions come out.
Fang Jingyan was originally very jealous of Fang Jingyi, and after Mrs. Tai died, she thought that she could finally step on Fang Jingyi and become the eldest lady of the earl's blessing. But it didn't always go in the direction she wanted.
Outside, everyone only knows Fang Jingyi, the talented, intelligent and generous Miss Fang. Even if Fang Jingyan's appearance is not bad, but on the occasion of Fang Jingyi's presence, she can only be an inconspicuous supporting role. When people mention her, they rarely call her name, only saying that she is Fang Jingyi's sister.
How could such a gap make Fang Jingyan not hate in her heart? At this time, in the Earl's Palace, from the old lady to the lady, the people who felt sorry for the lady were their own granddaughters and daughters, and Fang Jingyi was just a parasitic in their eyes.
Finally, once the day before going to an old lady's birthday banquet, Fang Jingyi fell ill. She had been sick to her stomach since she woke up in the morning, until her body collapsed, and she couldn't walk, and this illness lasted for three days, and the rice and water were difficult to enter, and she almost died.
On that day, she naturally had no way to follow Mrs. Fang out to attend the birthday banquet.
Later, she learned that two days before she fell ill, Fang Jingyan went to the old lady to cry all night.
Because this old lady who is going to hold a birthday banquet is an old friend of the late Mrs. Tai, and she especially likes to find a talented little girl to let her come out and show her face for everyone. Fang Jingyi is the junior who is most often handpicked by her, she won Su Chengzhi by playing the piano and winning calligraphy with this old lady before, and won Wang Zhen in calligraphy, and she was out of the limelight.
It's just that this old lady is very popular. The ladies who are sure of her will definitely become the objects of praise among the nobles in the capital.
And in order to show her face at this birthday banquet and get the affirmation of this old lady, Fang Jingyan has been practicing piano skills for a month.
Fang Jingyan was sick for three days, but she lay down for half a month. During this half month, she thought about many things, including the previous and the future. The departure of her parents had little impact on her life under Mrs. Tai's deliberate whitewashing. After all, she was too young when it happened, and her memory was not clear.
Accustomed to living a stable life, she ignored the dangers hidden in the shadows in this mansion. She originally thought that she would stay in this mansion until she got married, and it would be fine.
However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. In this world, it is not that if you are willing to let go of hatred and live a good life, others will definitely fulfill you.
That time, Fang Jingyi deeply realized it. Others were malicious to her. But compared to the old lady and Fang Jingyan, her strength is too weak. That time, if their medicine was heavier. She's already dead.
Although she is young, Fang Jingyi really has a seven-trick exquisite mind, and she thought of the "judging the situation" she had seen in the book. If you encounter rapids and rapids, you can keep the boat from sinking, and it is a victory. And in order not to be sunk, she chose Taoguang to raise obscurity.
In the eyes of the Fang family, Fang Jingyi suddenly fell ill and was sick for more than ten days in a row. Finally, I got better, and a few days later, I fell ill again. A few years after that. It seems that her illness has never been better, and sometimes it has recurred.
Fang Jingyi was "sick" but she was not idle, in order to achieve the goal of "living well", she did not spend much time in secret. Through Mama Wu, she also encircled a group of people under Mrs. Tai at the beginning. When Mrs. Tai died, she left her silver. At that time, it was secretly handed over to Mama Wu to take care of her, which made it much easier for her to act in the future.
This is how a little girl is lived, forced by danger to become a calculating woman. But Fang Jingyi is glad that she can become who she is today.
Pure kindness needs life, but she doesn't have this life. However, Fang Jingyi still secretly reminded herself that she couldn't be blinded by hatred, kindness is kindness, resentment is resentment, and she must be clear.
Because she was sick, she only stayed in her own yard, and she had no chance to "steal" Fang Jingyan's limelight again. Old Madam Fang and Fang Jingyan didn't attack her again.
And in order to take advantage of Mrs. Fang's good face mentality. Fang Jingyi deliberately released the news while getting sick, and it was not simple for her to be sick.
Mrs. Fang was afraid of gossip, so she took care of Fang Jingyi, she also had children, and she also had to get married, so she didn't want to cause a bad reputation for the Earl's Palace. At the same time, because of the other party's old lady's methods, Mrs. Fang has been deliberately keeping a distance from the old lady, although her face is very respectful, but she is not affectionate.
Fang Jingyi's efforts are far more than that, what she likes to read the most are the few books that her father said to have accidentally bought by mistake back then.
From the war book, she understood a truth: if the enemy is too strong, then you must first think of dividing its forces so that you have a chance to defeat.
Therefore, even though Mrs. Fang has tried her best to save the image of the Earl's Court over the years, Old Madam Fang's viciousness has still not been forgotten. Fang Jingyi, who has been sick, is the best evidence.
This secret force should not be underestimated, because Fang Jingyi reminded quietly. The old lady's biological son, Earl Fang, was always secretly talked about outside. No matter how much he wanted to be motivated in his official work, others never forgot that his current status was due to his mother's calculation of the son-in-law born to his father's previous wife.
Earl Fang was afraid of this rumor, and he was also afraid that his career would really be dragged down by his life experience, so he stayed away from his mother. deliberately let his wife take over the internal affairs of the Earl's Court, and forbade the old lady to interfere. He thought that if the old lady stayed in her yard honestly and took care of herself, others would gradually forget what she had done back then.
Fang Jingyi is very patient and not impatient. After so many years, the backyard of the Fang family has been divided by her. Although the old lady has been offered, she is almost an empty shell, and the inner courtyard is in the hands of Mrs. Fang, who is not hard-hearted enough. Fang Jingyi also borrowed the hand of Mama Wu in the old lady. Fang Jingyan had someone in the house.
Although Mama Wu was Mrs. Tai's person before, her daughter married the son of Mrs. Fang's companion. In the eyes of outsiders, after Mrs. Tai's death, she was Mrs. Fang's person.
The quiet Fang Jingyi. In the past few years, a net has been compiled at the Earl's Court. The people of Fuzhong were networked into it, and he stood in a relatively safe place. The old lady didn't move her bad thoughts, and everyone was fine.
Originally, it was indeed peaceful, but since the Li family's son-in-law and her fiancΓ© Li Yuan entered Beijing, things have changed.
When Li Yuan came, Fang Jingyi also had expectations. After all, the Li family and Li Yuan were the retreat found for him by the mother-in-law who loved her the most, and they entrusted all the old man's love for her.
But over the years. Fang Jingyi is no longer the simple little girl she was at the beginning, in order to survive, she has to be cautious and cautious. Because others may be able to make mistakes, but she can't.
So Fang Jingyi did not meet with Li Yuan, but sent someone to inquire quietly. She doesn't expect her future husband to be good-looking and talented. Her only request for him is to hope that he will be kind-hearted and responsible. As long as she has these two points, she will not complain even if she eats rice bran with him in the future.
But she hadn't had time to inquire yet. Fang Jingyan couldn't wait to find Li Yuan.
When she heard that someone came to report that Fang Jingyan was dressed up and deliberately waited to fly a kite on the way Li Yuan came in to greet the old lady, she was silent.
After a long pause. She comforted herself and said, it's okay like this, just think of Fang Jingyan, who is a younger sister, to help her test her future husband.
But in this world, if you are destined to spend your life with someone, then you better not be tempted.
Fang Jingyan and Li Yuan, this is another beautiful story of a talented and beautiful woman, and the two love each other.
The suave scholar met a beautiful woman flying a kite. The kite string of the beautiful woman was suddenly broken, and the kite was hung on the treetops, and the scholar helped to fetch it. The scholar takes the kite off. was about to hand it to the beauty, but the beauty glanced at the scholar and ran away with a blushing face, leaving the scholar alone in a daze at the beauty's back.
After that, he didn't want to eat, so he secretly sent someone to inquire and write poems and paintings for her. Seek the opportunity to meet in secret.
There are plots written in many books, and Fang Jingyan has peeked at one or two books before, and that book was also left by her father, which is much more than a military book.
Fang Jingyi didn't understand why every scholar in the book had so many thoughts after reading the script before. When you see a beautiful woman, you will think about it, as if you don't think about it except for tea and dinner, and you will complain about the people of Yue Siyi and the flowers, and you don't seem to have nothing to do for a day. Isn't this the behavior of a disciple?
And how could a self-respecting woman easily meet a strange man in the backyard?
Nothing short of nonsense! Since reading one or two books, Fang Jingyi has no interest in the words left behind by her father.
However, it was only later that she learned that the things mentioned in the book were not for nothing. She was playing out in front of her eyes. The corner is still her fiancΓ© and sister. At that time, Fang Jingyi's first thought was: The scholars in the books I read at the beginning, did they ever have a marriage match? Or do you already have a wife?
Their grades should not be small, how can they not have a marriage match and a wife? But he still has to provoke a woman from a good family. If it's just an ordinary drama girl, but it's Miss Gaomen, this is really ridiculous.
Fang Jingyi looked at the window for three days, looking at the flowers and grass, and listening to the bells. On the third day, she finally turned her eyes away and said to her maid, "Change your clothes, my sick ...... All right. β
So after a few years, Fang Jingyi appeared in front of everyone again.
According to Fang Jingyi's instructions, the people who went to find out about Li Yuan's personality also brought back news. Li Yuan had already married a three-room concubine at home, and had a son and a daughter.
The Li family, who originally made a marriage contract with Mrs. Fang Jiatai for the two of them, has been dead for three years, and is now Li Yuan's mother in charge. Because she heard that Fang Jingyi was not in good health, she preemptively married Li Yuan a concubine, one of whom was the daughter of a cousin of her mother's family, that is, the one who gave birth to a son.
Because the Li family is in Longxi, far away from the capital, these news have not been transmitted, and Fang Jingyi has not had the time to inquire about the Li family's affairs over the years, so there is this situation that makes Fang Jingyi very embarrassed.
Fang Jingyi suddenly felt a little tired. She wondered if there was no place in the world where she could live in peace. Maybe she's asking too much?
But now she is an orphan girl, with no backing, can she really be better off when she marries the Li family in Longxi like this?
Fang Jingyi thought that maybe it would be better than marrying Longxi. Like her mother, choosing a Taoist temple to die is a better choice for her.
Later, Fang Jingyi got the news again that the old lady fell in love with Li Yuan's identity as the only son of the Li family, and looked at the dowry left by Mrs. Tai, and wanted Fang Jingyan to marry Li Yuan instead of her.
Fang Jingyi smiled, she could give way, but the previous accounts should also be settled. At that moment. Fang Jingyi couldn't remember if she had hatred in her heart at that time.
Things have been developing in the direction of Fang Jingyi's plan. People don't offend me, I don't offend people, but rabbits will bite when they are forced to be anxious, and Fang Jingyi is not a rabbit.
For Fang Jingyan, Fang Jingyi originally didn't have much resentment, because except for the poisoning incident a few years ago, Fang Jingyan just found her some small troubles, and she endured it. Let it pass as soon as it is passed.
This time, although she also designed Fang Jingyan, she also wanted her to be willing to put on the set. She can only count her. And in the end, as she and the old lady wanted, let her marry the Li family.
However, she didn't expect that the old lady would still want to make a stupid move, so she had to strike first. It's just that things will develop like this, and she is also a little surprised.
She had always been clear about the power of rumors, and she had taken advantage of this all these years when she had no foundation to pull Old Madam Fang from the position of the controller of the Earl's Court. But those are in the shadows, and she also tries to control the situation and keep people's attention from the Earl's Court. and didn't let the old lady and others find out, so the face was still calm.
Fang Jingyi explained a few words to Mama Wu, and the two were talking, when they heard Chunhua shouting loudly outside: "Second Miss, why are you here?" β
Fang Jingyi frowned and glanced at the open window. I happened to see Fang Jingyan enter the courtyard, but fortunately, due to the angle problem, and the light in the house was not as bright as outside, Fang Jingyan couldn't see Fang Jingyi and Mama Wu. glanced at Mama Wu. Fang Jingyi immediately turned back to her bed and leaned against it, but Mama Wu took out a small burden from her arms, quickly spread it out on the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Get out of here!"
"Second Miss, Mama Wu is scraping sand for the eldest lady's cupping, who are you?"
There was a "snap" sound, the sound of someone being slapped. Fang Jingyi's brows furrowed even tighter, but his subordinates kept unbuttoning the placket of his lichen a few grains.
Only halfway through the solution, the door was rudely pushed open, and Jing Yan appeared in front of the two of them with an angry face. Fang Jingyi was not flustered, and the original action of unbuttoning was replaced by buttoning.
"Ayan, why are you here? I've just scraped the sand, and I'm sore all over, so find a place to sit down first. Fang Jingyi didn't see the expression on Fang Jingyan's face, and greeted her kindly, as if Fang Jingyan was here to visit the sick place.
Fang Jingyan shook her eyes on Mama Wu's face, Fang Jingyi smiled and said: "This is Mama Wu next to my mother, my mother learned that she had good scraping skills, so she asked her to come and scratch me, saying that my disease was caused by the invasion of poisonous gas, as long as I found a way to scrape it out, it would be fine." Mother was so thoughtful, I was about to ......"
"Shut up! Who wants to listen to your mother-daughter affection! Fang Jingyan said angrily, just now her mother said that she wanted her to be a concubine. If she is a concubine, then the wife is the sick place in front of her.
The person she hates the most over the years is Fang Jingyi, she hated her when Mrs. Tai was alive, and she still hated her after Mrs. Tai left. Because Fang Jingyi was on the ground, she had never won against her.
Even her biological mother was biased towards Fang Jingyi in her heart.
Fang Jingyi looked at Fang Jingyan in surprise: "Ayan, why do you say that?" Mother is also your mother. As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Mama Wu.
Mama Wu understood, she was also afraid of being suspected, and there would be no way to help Fang Jingyi in the future, so she quickly packed up her baggage, saluted Fang Jingyan, pretended to be a little afraid that she would be affected, and ran away in a hurry.
Fang Jingyi saw that Mama Wu was gone, and Fang Jingyan's mind didn't turn to her at all. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fang Jingyan is not difficult to deal with, but Mama Wu's identity cannot be exposed.
Fang Jingyan turned around and pushed the two maids who were so frightened that they were probing their brains at the door out: "Get out!" I have something to say to her. β
The two maids looked at Fang Jingyi, Fang Jingyi lowered her eyes, and then nodded at the two maids. Chunhua and Qiushi didn't say a word. He bowed and withdrew.
Fang Jingyan looked at Fang Jingyi with a brick and sneered: "The people around you are really obedient!" Believe it or not, I had them sold? β
Fang Jingyi remained silent, still in a relaxed tone: "They are all sent by their mother to serve, and they are really caring and obedient on weekdays." But no matter what, it's just two maids used to call, if Ayan you don't like them. It's okay to change it, I'll just ask my mother to pick two more for me. β
Fang Jingyan was even more angry when she heard this, she knew that Mrs. Fang had always responded to Fang Jingyi's small requests, and she would not even be so obedient to herself.
Fang Jingyi naturally saw the emotion in Fang Jingyan's eyes, she deliberately provoked Fang Jingyan, so that she would not set her eyes on Chunhua and Qiushi, just now she saw that Qiushi's face was already red and swollen, presumably she had just been slapped by Fang Jingyan.
Fang Jingyan was jealous of Fang Jingyi. She didn't know that Fang Jingyi was also envious of her. Fang Jingyan was born in the blessing and did not know the blessing, in fact, Mrs. Fang was very good to her. Fang Jingyan doesn't understand, the elders will only take care of you if they really love you. And mercilessly dismisses all your unreasonable demands, because she thinks it is your good intentions.
And responding to a person's request is not love, but politeness. However, Fang Jingyi didn't plan to tell Fang Jingyan this, many things need to be eaten and wised to truly understand.
"Fang Jingyi, let me tell you, no matter how much my mother favors you, I won't be a concubine, you still have to die of this heart." Fang Jingyan pointed to Fang Jingyi's nose and said.
Fang Jingyi was a little ridiculous, what was the heart that made her die? It seems that she forced Liang to become a prostitute, and she had to ask Fang Jingyan to be Li Yuan's concubine.
"I don't understand what Ayan said. Who wants to be a concubine? Whose concubine is it? Why be a concubine? β
Fang Jingyan then thought that Fang Jingyi was sick again, how could she possibly know what was going on outside? She was like a fist hitting cotton, and she felt a sense of weakness.
It's just that when it comes to the issue of concubines, Fang Jingyan really can't calm down: "Mother said that you married Li Yuan to be a wife, and asked me to be a concubine." Don't even think about it. If you want to be a concubine, you should also be a concubine. Why did my dignified young lady from the Earl's Court want me to be a concubine. β
Fang Jingyi originally wanted to stabilize Fang Jingyan first, but she glanced out of the corner of her eyes inadvertently, then changed her mind, and deliberately said a little angrily: "I am also a dignified lady in the Earl's Mansion, or the eldest lady, why do you want me to be a concubine?" It doesn't make sense. Besides, my marriage contract was already made when Mrs. Tai was alive. β
As soon as Fang Jingyi mentioned this, Fang Jingyan became even more angry, and suddenly pounced on her and pushed Fang Jingyi: "You bully me, you all bully me." β
Fang Jingyi: "......"
At this time, an angry voice had already sounded at the door: "Who dares to bully my Yan'er!" β
Fang Jingyi looked at the door with some surprise, and saw Old Madam Fang with a series of angry colors.
"Grandmother-" Fang Jingyan threw herself into Old Madam Fang's arms, and Old Madam Fang hurriedly hugged the person and coaxed her carefully. She followed Fang Jingyan all the way, but Fang Jingyan's steps were fast, she was a little old after all, and she couldn't catch up for a while, so she couldn't help but be anxious.
In the end, I saw Fang Jingyan coming to Fang Jingyi's side from a distance.
Old Madam Fang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if Fang Jingyan found Fang Jingyi to relieve the depression in her heart, then there would be nothing. Therefore, Old Madam Fang actually followed her granddaughter to help find Fang Jingyi's bad luck. (To be continued)
