Chapter 161: The Consequences
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Yu Fu was about to buy minions, and Xue Su stuffed the herbs into it. Although she is a little old, she has served in the palace in the end, and she is very proper, and she can't find the slightest flaw, coupled with her beautiful appearance, she was soon selected by the steward of the Yu Mansion.
Listening to the news reported by the guards, Xue Su sighed lowly, only hoping that Fangcao would have better luck and get what she wanted.
Yan Ruyu's homogenizing cream sold very well, and this thing didn't have much reputation at first, but since Xue Su put the balm into a bamboo box and put it at the door of the store to distribute it, many female customers have tried it. Washing your face with a uniform balm can not only wash away the sticky dirt on the face, but also not easy to dry and peel, very moisturizing, even in autumn, it is still comfortable to use.
Seeing that Yan Ruyu's business is getting better day by day, there is no one in the capital who does not know from eighty to ten years old, and her reputation is extremely loud, which is much stronger than Cheng Sanniang's painstaking planning for a long time.
This kind of feeling of being trampled under the soles of her feet is really uncomfortable, which makes Cheng Sanniang hate and jealous in her heart, and feel tormented.
The more Cheng Sanniang wants to compete with Xue Su, the more she will invest her energy in the private hall. Yan Ruyu has far surpassed the beauty of the place, even if she uses all her strength, it is impossible to change this fact in a short time. At this moment, she is like a demon barrier, she can only see Xue Su in her eyes, she can only see Yan Ruyu, and she doesn't care about the rest.
Father-in-law Yu doesn't know how many times Sanniang has been persuaded in the process, but his persuasion is tantamount to deaf ears for women, and he has said it.
There is a limit to people's patience, and Father-in-law Yu is holding back the evil fire in his heart, once or twice is fine, but the third time he simply doesn't pay attention to it, and lets the woman toss it by herself, if she causes any trouble, it has nothing to do with him.
During this period, Fangcao did not live up to Xue Su's expectations and successfully served by Yu's father-in-law. Do some work every day, serving tea and water, and serving pen and ink. She has a gentle temperament, never argues with others, and is as real as her name, like a herb, although the shape is inconspicuous, but it exudes its own fragrance.
After serving in the palace for so many years, Duke Yu is not shallow in the city, and he is used to thinking about people and things repeatedly.
At first, he regarded Fangcao as a person with ulterior motives, because she deliberately curry favor in order to live a good life. But this kind of flattery is not obvious, nor is it tiresome, like a gurgling stream seeping into the riverbed, it has not changed for months, which really surprised Yu's father-in-law.
At the same time, Father-in-law Yu also had some bad feelings in his heart, he had a good memory, he had long remembered that he had saved Fangcao's life in the paddock, she had reached the age of release, it stands to reason that after leaving the palace, it would be easier to marry, why go into Yufu to do these jobs of serving people? Isn't it good to be honest and be a good lady?
Not to mention Fangcao, the princess who lives in the Zhuangyuan Mansion also has a big problem.
Previously, she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicinal powder, just to frame Xue Su. This substance will cause the cheeks to be red and swollen when applied to the face, and the skin will return to normal with the antidote.
Who would have thought that the antidote would not only be useless to the princess, but would even make the condition worse, seeing that the pimples the size of rice grains were stacked on top of each other, and there was pus flowing in them, how terrible it was.
Most women in the world care about their appearance, and Jinyue is no exception, and now she is almost collapsing.
The disfigurement can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime. Wang Youqing is Jinyue's husband, the two get along day and night, live and die together, it is the most intimate relationship in the world, and he is as careful as a hair, how can he not find the abnormality of the princess?
Now Jinyue wears a veil every day to go out, and even if she stays in the room, the veil is never taken off.
Seeing this situation, Wang Youqing already had a guess in his heart, and on this day he came to the master bedroom and asked in a low voice, "Princess, you and I are husband and wife, if there are any problems, just say them, you and I can solve them together, why bother to press it in my heart?" โ
As the saying goes, women are the ones who please themselves, and the person Jinyue cares about the most is Wang Youqing, who naturally doesn't want her ugly appearance to be discovered by her husband, but it backfires, and she can't hide it after all.
Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, and Jin Yue sobbed one after another, looking really pitiful, "Youqing, I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly became like this, I really don't have the face to face you......"
When she spoke, Jinyue did not take off her veil, her eyes were red and she looked at the man in front of her, and endless sorrow swelled in her heart. She hates it so much, she hates Xue Su's slut, if it weren't for the sake of bringing her down, how could she have ended up like this? After losing her wife and breaking her soldiers, she is a dignified golden branch and jade leaf, why is she repeatedly compared to a vulgar village woman?
Wang Youqing knew the princess's actions, he knew that his beloved woman had been murdered three or four times, but fortunately, Su Niang saved the day again and again, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Jin Yue is the daughter of the imperial concubine in the end, and the sister of the five princes, as a concubine, she already relies on their snort to live, how can she act recklessly? Even if you love Su Niang no matter how much you love it, you have to give in to the power in front of you.
With just the right amount of distress on his face, he trembled with his hands, took the woman in his arms, and took off the veil. When he saw that hideous and terrifying cheek, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Jinyue has done so many evil things, and finally got retribution, God really has eyes!
"Princess, don't worry, I will definitely find the best doctor to cure all the rashes on your face, leaving no traces."
Jinyue's favorite thing is Wang Youqing's gentleness, and the tears are falling more fiercely at the moment, wrapping her hands around the man's arms and sobbing softly, that look is indescribably pitiful.
"Youqing, only you are the best for me, if it weren't for you, what would I mean by living in this world?"
"How can Yue'er talk nonsense? You are a nobleman, your status is extremely noble, but although your cheeks are a little sensitive, you will not become like this, what is going on? If someone poisons and murders, I will get justice for you! โ
Her eyes flickered again and again, Jinyue was not a fool, how could she confide in the poisoning? If Youqing knew about it, he would have Xue Su in his heart, and he would definitely blame himself for it.
"No one poisoned it, it was I who accidentally got some pollen on my face that caused allergies, Youqing don't think about it."
The man didn't stay in the bedroom for long, he really didn't want to see Jinyue's face, and he couldn't tolerate her vicious thoughts, obviously this woman had a simple temperament at the beginning, and she was not annoying, but she didn't think that she had become the current virtue within a few years of marriage, which was really disgusting.
Looking at the thin and long figure stupidly, Jinyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and the maid beside her didn't dare to gasp. Since beating the princess and disfigured her, her temper has become capricious, moody, and she will beat and scold at every turn if it doesn't go her way, and their life as a slave is extremely difficult.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the disfigurement of Jinyue soon spread the news. At first, it was just speculation, and no evidence was found, after all, Jinyue was grounded in the mansion, and no one saw it with their own eyes, but the handkerchief took the initiative to come to the door, and she avoided it.
This matter was spread in the capital, and even His Majesty had heard about it. The imperial concubine felt sorry for her daughter, so she specially summoned Princess Jinyue into the palace to take a look.
Although only half of her face was exposed through the veil, it was enough for the imperial concubine to distinguish the situation, and the beautiful woman gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Yue'er, was it just red and swollen before?" Why is it so serious now? Is there someone secretly murdering them? โ
The imperial concubine's eyes were full of distress, obviously feeling that her daughter was suffering.
"Mother, I don't know what's going on, the rash hasn't faded, even if you look for a famous doctor, there is no result."
Seeing the embarrassed Jinyue, the emperor couldn't say anything to blame, so he asked the imperial doctor to come to the princess to diagnose and treat her, but unfortunately that kind of powder was not poison and could not be detoxified. In this way, Jinyue's body is healthy, but her cheeks are completely ruined, and the imperial doctor is really helpless.
It is said that the princess is still grounded, but at this time, the emperor can't bear to continue to criticize her, so he simply lifted the ban and ordered her not to go to the Xue family for trouble, and it was just a lesson.
It's a pity that the reason why Jinyue has come to this day has nothing to do with Xue Su at all. The hatred for that woman has long been engraved into the blood and bones, indelible, and cannot be dissipated. She couldn't help but wonder if Xue Su was born against her? If it weren't for her, why would I have ended up here?
With a respectful look on her face, Jinyue said softly, as soon as she left the imperial study, she went directly to the Five Princes' Mansion.
Now Tan Yuanqing is not pregnant, although she is the princess and concubine, life is still not easy. The royal family values the inheritance of bloodline, if the five princes do not have a son-in-law, they must also find another way, and accept a few beautiful concubines to extend the heirs, although it is not a concubine, but it is better than nothing.
For this sister-in-law, Jin Yue never paid attention to it, only nodded, her attitude was very perfunctory, and she went into the study to find the fifth prince.
"Brother Huang, help me, please!" Jinyue wiped her tears and pleaded.
Although the fifth prince was ruthless and ruthless, Jinyue was the sister of his mother's compatriots, so he naturally cared, he put down the secret letter and couldn't help but ask, "How do you want me to help?" โ
"You know about my disfigurement, right? It's all because of the Xue family's murder, can you help me get rid of her? Don't let her live in the world again! โ
The fifth prince misses Xue Su in his heart, and he can't wait to take care of people under his wings, how can he take the initiative to do harm?
The man straightened his face, his eyes revealed a thick anger, and he said angrily, "Jinyue, don't mess around, you are a princess, you always want to kill other people's lives, so vicious, are you worthy of your identity?" โ
Jin Yue looked at the fifth prince with disbelief, but she didn't expect her brother who had always loved her to reject her.
