Chapter 37: Planning, White Lotus's Calculations
In fact, Du Zhongting was not comfortable in his heart, the concubine and Qu Sushui were good friends back then, because of what he did, for fear that Shan Qiushui would say something bad for his career, so he always followed Qu Sushui's side, and said that he was taking care of Sushui's body.
Qu Sushui is down-and-out and generous, not like the ordinary life wife who tends to be inflammatory, flattering to the extreme, gentle but with unique fortitude, the concubine likes it quite much, and when she sees the well-behaved and sensible Du Lianxiang, she feels fond of it, and naturally decides on this marriage, which he knows clearly from beginning to end.
Naturally, this lotus fragrance is not this at this time, but Du Wei's name at that time.
At that time, Du Zhongting was immediately happy after knowing it, and he stayed at Qu Sushui's side all day in those days, no matter how indifferent Qu Sushui was, how he didn't treat him, he didn't see it, he just dreamed of becoming the prince's father-in-law.
Who knew that not long after this incident, there was an incident in which Qu Sushui's private meeting with a foreign man was caught red-handed by Shan Qiushui, and Du Zhongting didn't even react to what was going on, so he was dragged by his concubine to see the scene.
After the incident came out, the concubine was furious and personally sent someone to supervise the matter, and it was important to investigate the matter clearly, but after reversing the level of Qu Su, she did not summon Qu Su Shui for some reason, and there was no news of the marriage, and no one knew what the result was.
The house was restless, the backyard was on fire, Du Zhongting was affected by this, thinking all day long about how to remedy the smooth journey in his officialdom, thinking about the concubine's attitude towards Qu Sushui, thinking that there would be no change in this marriage, so he didn't deliberately ask, just thinking about solving the current career problem first.
But after that, Qu Sushui died, it was a suicide, a white silk, hanged on the beam of the desolate backyard, and the initiator of all this was Shan Qiushui.
Du Zhongting complained about Shan Qiushui about this matter, after all, if something happens at this juncture, his official career will definitely be more affected, and he really likes Qu Sushui, but this liking is just bigger than his future.
Therefore, under Shan Qiushui's identity and strength, Du Zhongting had no choice but to do things perfunctorily and hastily bury Qu Sushui, and the so-called girl was also deliberately forgotten under the oppression of Shan Qiushui.
After that, the name Du Lianxiang belonged to Shan Qiushui's eldest daughter, and the marriage contract with King Zhennan also became the eldest daughter of Shan Qiushui, and Shan Qiushui became the wife of the Du family, and Du Wei became a helpless orphan who was untreated by the Du family and was locked up in the backyard all day long.
All this seems to be God's help, Shan Qiushui, like Du Zhongting, has always dreamed of becoming the king of Zhennan's Yue's family, but unfortunately, ten years have passed, and the concubine has never mentioned this marriage contract, and Shan Qiushui is so anxious that she almost has gray hair.
Finally, after ten years have passed, this marriage has been mentioned again, how can she not be happy? I am even more pleased that I did what I did very correctly, but I never thought that this time the marriage contract was not the handsome King Wen Zijun of Zhennan, but the King of Yama, Wen Qi.
At the foot of the capital, everyone knows that Wen Qi, the king of Yama, is the younger brother of the emperor of the current dynasty, not to mention the noble status, but also the emperor's right-hand man who rules the country, he helped the emperor defeat all opponents against him, and he killed countless enemies on the battlefield, which is a legend.
But he has another legend, because of his appearance, he is a peerless ugly man, ugly children will have nightmares and cry all night when they see them, and ugly little girls will be frightened when they see them, and they dare not go out of the house for the rest of their lives.
It is said that on the night of the full moon, in the mansion of the king of Yama, there will be a roar like a trapped beast and a terrible scream of despair, like an angry beast, tearing at people's flesh and blood, admiring the desperate cries of people.
If such an existence comparable to an evil ghost, how could Shan Qiushui bear to let his daughter marry him? Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
Du Zhongting frowned, he has been an official for more than ten years, he is conscientious and fearful every day, and he has finally come to the point where he is now, how can he resist the decree because of a woman? Wouldn't that ruin his own future?
But if he really wants his daughter to marry the king of Hades that trip, he is also reluctant.
Caught between two sides, he could only sit in his chair and sigh and frown.
Du Zhongting's silence made Du Lianxiang fall into despair, she got up suddenly, bit her lip, and said sadly: "Why? I will never marry, if I want to marry, let that slut marry, that is her marriage, why should I be paid? ”
Shan Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and looked at Du Zhongting and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Master, this marriage is the girl's, so let her marry it, so that the master doesn't have to resist the will and disrespect. ”
Du Zhongting was stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and retorted: "How can this be made? If you don't joke about it, if you use it to marry on your behalf, wouldn't it be a crime of deception? ”
Shan Qiushui sneered: "How is it the crime of bullying the king?" This holy decree didn't write which of your daughters-in-law you wanted, nor did she write her name, and the girl on the left and right was also the daughter of your in-laws, even if I didn't admit it, it was a big deal that I was wronged, and let her use the identity of the eldest daughter to go to the family tree. ”
When Du Lianxiang heard this, she also cried with joy, but seeing that Du Zhongting's face was still hesitating, Du Lianxiang understood that this was her father's unbearable heart, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, she walked to Du Zhongting's side and said: "Daddy, this matter is a sure thing, no one can resist, do you really want your daughter to marry that prince?" But Daddy, aren't you planning your life just so that your brothers can have a better future?
But if the daughter really enters this wolf's den, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help her brothers in this life, and the daughter knows that you have a loss to your sister, not only you, but also the daughter feels that there are too many things that have happened in the past few days, so that the father is dissatisfied with his daughter, but how can the father doubt what his daughter said?
That day, the daughter was beaten and the third sister was burned, that is an indisputable fact, with the sister's empty mouth and white teeth, she said that all this matter was the daughter and the third sister, can the father listen to her words all?
The daughter has been taking care of her sister all these years, and the third sister also adheres to what her daughter said, be kind to the eldest sister, after all, the name of the daughter is still owned by the elder sister, but this name is in the daughter, isn't it also taking care of the father, afraid that the father will be said to have a crazy daughter?
Daddy, my sister looks like this, even if she stays in the house, everyone is in danger, the day before yesterday, my sister also went to the kitchen, smashed the kitchen to a pulp, scared the people in the dining room every day, and my daughter is also worried about whether the next time my sister will smash it will be my daughter's side, or my father and mother. ”
Du Lianxiang said with emotion, and after speaking, Du Zhongting frowned slightly: "You said that girl smashed the dining room?" Why didn't I know about this? ”
Shan Qiushui blinked, took over the conversation and said: "Naturally, I pressed it down, sir, you have a lot of opportunities, there are so many things, and there are still distinguished guests in the house, if you continue to make trouble because of her, if it really affects the impression of the lord in the eyes of the nobles, wouldn't it be worth the loss."
I know that the master always thinks I treat her harshly, but I can't help it! Since my sister died, that girl saw me as if she had seen an enemy, how dare I go up and take care of her?
Now that I see that her condition has worsened again, she doesn't even let go of her own sisters, you say, if you continue to keep her in the house, won't it make our whole family feel bad? Right now, there is a solution to this, sir, don't you really need it? ”
Du Zhongting's expression was a little relaxed, Du Lianxiang suddenly made persistent efforts, wiped the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes and said: "Daddy, my daughter's marriage must be beneficial to my brothers, but this Hades is not easy to provoke, if my sister marries in the past, first, we are not considered to resist the will, and secondly, my sister also has a future, although the legend of Hades is so brutal, but after all, the emperor gave marriage, and we can't let our daughter suffer in the past. ”
Speaking of this, Du Lianxiang almost gritted her teeth and said, if there was no damn slut, if it weren't for this damn marriage, she would not have given up her dowry, but now, for her own future......
Forget it, if the child can't catch the wolf, Miss Ben should let the slut help her save it, and when she soars, she will definitely get it back.
Shan Qiushui walked to Du Zhongting's side at this time, sat beside him, held his hand, and said gently: "Master, how sensible do you think Lianxiang is?" This is also for the sake of Yu Xuan and Yu Chuan, Lian Rong is now disfigured, and we can't send a disfigured woman to the prince, isn't this even more criticized? Although there are still a few concubines in the backyard of the lord, after all, the holy decree is written on the concubine, as the lord said, we can't take the risk of sending concubines to the prince, right? ”
Referring to his two sons, Du Zhongting's expression improved a lot, thinking that what Shan Qiushui and Du Lianxiang said was also very reasonable, so he said: "Even so, there is no other way, I will go to see the girl after dinner in a while, and I will give her a name tomorrow and put it on the family tree, so as not to have anything happen at that time." ”
Shan Qiushui nodded, pretending to be worried: "If the master goes, let her nod, otherwise, that girl is so stubborn, I'm afraid that the prince will come to hire her in a few days and make trouble." ”
Du Zhongting nodded, thinking of his third daughter's face, he had a toothache.
"I know about this, you have really wronged her in the past few days when you go to see Lianrong, and when this matter is dealt with, I will go to the emperor and ask a royal doctor to come over, I believe that Lianrong's face will not leave a scar."
Shan Qiushui was immediately overjoyed, but thinking that the culprit who disfigured her daughter was still full of murderous intent, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued: "Don't worry, master, I understand." ”
