"Brute! Brute! Brute!!! There was a suppressed but hysterical cry from the newly replaced green screen, accompanied by the muffled sound of several jade and porcelain vases smashing on the brocade felt, and the newly promoted maid Qiaoqin curled up under the corridor with some trepidation, not daring to make a sound.

In fact, she really wanted to hide away like other maids, after all, although Princess Wei usually looked at her kindness and treated her generosity, when she was in a bad mood, she didn't do anything to take people down to vent.

Before Qiao Qin was brought up, he listened to the big maids who served the princess talk in private, saying that someone had accidentally turned a few drops onto the princess's dress because she served tea when Princess Wei was in a bad mood, and was shaved by Princess Wei's backhand on the spot, and afterwards asked Bo's mother to carry her ear and reprimand her for a long time - the worst thing is that the maid was sent out within two days, and she couldn't even stay in the palace.

Qiao Qin naturally didn't want to follow in the footsteps of that girl.

But there is no way, she was only promoted two days ago, and among Princess Wei's close attendants, she belongs to the new newcomer.

No matter where they are, newcomers are not bullied, and who is bullied?

So after the other maids heard that Princess Wei was not moving right, they immediately dispersed, but left her down to wait, saying: "What if we all leave, what if the princess has something to say and can't call anyone?" Even if the princess doesn't call people, counting the time when the prince comes, she will definitely have to serve and freshen up, so how can no one stay outside? ”

Even though Qiaoqin was dissatisfied, he was helpless.

This will make her frightened to listen to Princess Wei in it constantly throwing things and scolding, afraid that she will be called in to scold and vent, but she is also a little vaguely curious - what kind of news did Mother Bo bring to the princess, so that the princess lost her temper to this point?

You must know that although Princess Wei is only the stepfamily of King Hengshan, and it is said that her background is only a small family, but after she married once, she also let King Hengshan snatch love from her ex-husband, marry into the door, and preside over the backyard despite the displeasure of Princess Hengshan, which shows her intelligence and the city.

In my memory, although this princess is not reserved to the extent of being cold, she is probably smiling and welcoming, and occasionally loses her temper because of the conflict with the princess of Hengshan.

So much so that except for Mother Bo, who was a childhood confidant of Princess Wei as a girl, no one dared to cross the left at this moment, and only she, a little maid, was powerless to resist her companions and was left to resign herself to fate.

- Is it because the concubine finally has a way to establish the third prince as the prince?

But even so, Princess Wei, as a daughter-in-law, would scold her mother-in-law as a "brute", even if she scolded her in private, it would be too much......

Qiao Qin was thinking about it in a mess, and suddenly heard the sigh of Bo's mother inside, and then lowered her voice to persuade Princess Wei: "Niangniang's Day mourning!" The eldest lady has gone, there is a way that people can't be resurrected after death, you feel sorry for her here, and you cry angrily, in addition to making the Song family's black heart and liver happy, and making those people in this house gloat, what good is it? ”

Miss?!

Qiao Qin was taken aback, of course she knew that Wei Mengying had a daughter with her ex-husband before marrying into the palace, and she was the eldest lady of the Song family - calculating her age, she should only be fifteen or sixteen years old now, how could she go?

Was it an illness, or an accident?

Qiao Qin's heart swelled with sympathy, the child who was conceived in October and was born, even if they have been separated for many years, how can a mother not feel distressed?

It's no wonder that Princess Wei has lost her temper so far.

"He actually got his hands on it!!" Who knew that after a brief pause, Princess Wei suddenly whimpered again, her low tone was full of resentment and hatred, that kind of strong emotion, which made Qiaoqin outside subconsciously shudder, "That's his biological daughter - the child I had with him for several years, when he landed with a smile, do you remember how happy he was, and what he said?!" It's only been a few years? It's only been a few years?! Xiaoxiao is only sixteen years old this year, although I haven't seen her for eight years, but that child has grown well since he was a child, and he must be the same flowers at this moment...... His own father can actually do such a poisonous hand!!! ”

"This brute !!!"

"Niangniang, because of this, you can't help but avenge the eldest lady!" Bo's mother raised her voice slightly, "As you said, although we haven't seen the eldest lady for eight years, how can your biological daughter seduce the Liu family in a lowly manner?!" When Zhao's mother came to ask for help that day, the slave asked her outside the door, and she also said that the Liu family has always been harsh to the eldest lady, and there is a good chance that this matter. Nine, it was the aunt and nephew of the Liu family who conspired to frame the eldest lady - but because Song Yuan made a final decision, now the eldest lady is not the one inside and out! Let's talk about it, Niangniang, you, the biological mother, can't sit back and watch the innocent and tragic death of the eldest lady, and you have to suffer such a grievance, even the slaves and maids can't stand it! ”

She said in a deep voice, "So we must get justice for the eldest lady!" ”

"However, Song Yuan is an official of the imperial court, and the eldest lady is not the prince's own flesh and blood, and now the concubine is trying to catch you, otherwise the last time Mother Zhao came to ask for help, why would the mother refuse painfully? If we want to avenge the eldest lady, we must first let the little prince become the son of the world and completely control this Hengshan Palace, so how can we toss Song Yuan and the old woman of Pang Shi in the future? ! ”

These words are actually a bit foolish, how prominent the ancestors of the Song family are, even if they have fallen a lot now, but it is not something that can be arbitrarily manipulated by a Hengshan Palace.

Otherwise, even if Princess Wei hadn't asked about the situation of her eldest daughter for many years, the Song family wouldn't dare to bully Song Yixiao like that, let alone dip her in a pig cage.

Mother Bo said this, just to remind Princess Wei that the most important thing for the master and servant at the moment is to let Princess Wei's biological son Lu Guanyun sit on the throne of the world.

As for the rest, even if it is Song Yixiao's death, it is secondary in the end.

"I really didn't expect that brute to really do it!!" Princess Wei choked up for a long time before she seemed to lose her mind and murmured, "Otherwise, I'll ...... I just don't directly intervene in this matter, why should I give that kid an idea, or let the Wei family send someone to take a trip and watch it! I thought that it had been eight years since I remarried to the palace, and the beast and his stepwife had also given birth to three children, even though they still had a grudge against me, but they had raised Xiaoxiao to such a big age, and they didn't hurt her early or late, how could they cut off her way of life at this time?! ”

"I thought Mother Zhao was exaggerating, or that brute was just scaring and laughing......"

"Who knows...... Who knows......"

"Tiger venom doesn't eat children - that beast !!"

"How many years has the Jiangnan Song clan been famous, and the scholarly etiquette heirloom, how could such a vicious thing be born!!"

"My poor daughter-I am in this palace, I am a maid on the left and right, who inside and outside does not look at it and dare not despise half a point?!"

"My own flesh and blood, my eldest daughter, actually died like that from a slut and a disciple who planted slander, and the thief shouted to catch the thief!!"

Princess Wei threw herself on the pillow and complained sadly, and her poignant voice infected Qiaoqin outside, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears.

And yet—

Speaking of which, Wei Mengying has been remarried to Hengshan Wangfu for eight years, but she hasn't really thought of that eldest daughter - after all, her current mother-in-law, Princess Hengshan, may not be more friendly to her than her previous mother-in-law, Mrs. Pang.

What's more, she and Song Yuan were the original husband and wife, and the only and biggest enemy in the Song Mansion was just Mrs. Pang.

And Hengshan Wangfu, not only does her mother-in-law dislike her, but she is targeted everywhere, and King Hengshan's son and daughter-in-law before marrying her are also full of hostility towards her.

Especially the second daughter-in-law, Jin, who relied on her mother's family to be a secretary of the ministry, made all kinds of provocations and difficulties since Wei Mengying entered the door.

Wei Mengying's background is not high, and she can't get much help from her mother's family, in order to gain a foothold in Hengshan Palace, she has to spend a lot of effort to deal with the Hengshan princess and the Jin family.

Then she couldn't neglect King Hengshan, after all, she was able to enter this palace and become the hostess, thanks to King Hengshan's favor for her.

Even if she has given birth to a son and two daughters, she can be regarded as the princess, but it is still not the time to sit back and relax - she still has to fight for her son to become the son of the world to rest assured!

In this case, even if I was once haunted by that daughter, I didn't have much time to miss it.

What's more, the life in the Song family was not very pleasant, especially in the last two years, she and Mrs. Pang almost completely tore their faces, and Mrs. Pang once pointed to the door in front of the maid and asked her to get out, a thing that "does not lay eggs and still occupies the nest and does not let it"!

Although she is not easy to bully, she replied on the spot, "The old thing that can't even control my own son is shouting at me" - but no matter whether the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle is won or lost, she will never be able to give birth to a son, and she is hesitant in her heart: Song Yuan will never recognize his biological mother, but he may not protect his wife for the rest of his life!

So although King Hengshan is far less young and handsome than Song Yuan, not as talented as Song Yuan, and even has children and daughters, and even grandchildren - Wei Mengying still ruthlessly threw down her seven-year-old daughter and resolutely chose to remarry.

It's better to go on your own than to have to go one day and have nowhere to go!

This was what she thought at the time, and she still doesn't feel that she shouldn't go - her daughter's future is compared to her own, and she has chosen herself after all.

And because she didn't want to think about those unpleasant pasts, and because of the guilt of being hidden and suppressed, Wei Mengying never cared about her daughter after that, and even at the beginning, the Wei family occasionally passed some bits and pieces of news to her, telling her that the child named "Yixiao" and looking forward to her beautiful and often laughing was not doing well in the hands of her stepmother, and her grandmother and biological father were indifferent to it - after Wei Mengying felt uncomfortable, she didn't want to hear it more and more!

She did tell her mother's family that the lintel of the Wei family is not high, and she naturally does not dare to slack off on her daughter who has married twice.

After getting this, she really didn't tell her any more news about Song Yixiao.

And they don't care about Song Yixiao anymore - after all, whether that girl can grow up from her stepmother's ordeal is a question, and there is no value at all.

Yes, value.

Eight years after leaving her daughter, shocked to hear of her death, regret, guilt, anger, hatred, disbelief and other emotions mixed in her chest, brewing an unprecedented storm, and when she couldn't wait to vent, Wei Mengying suddenly thought of her teenage days-

When she was a teenager, the situation was not necessarily as good as Song Yixiao's.

Many people know that she has five brothers above her.

But in fact, she is not the only daughter, above her, there is also a sister who is four years older.

She still remembers her sister's maiden name "Mengyue", her appearance is not very similar to her, but she is also a beauty with eyebrows and muscles like ice and snow.

Her own maiden name "Mengying" has something to do with this sister, Wei Mengyue was born when the moon was full of flowers, like a dream, so it was named.

When she landed, although it was not the same moonlit room, it was also in the middle of the moon, and her parents said that the moon was shining, so she called her "Mengying" - a name that seemed to be full of wishes, but it could not change the fact that their sisters were not so valued in their parents' home.

Wei Mengying, who was newly married, cursed Mrs. Pang's patriarchy countless times, but in fact, the patriarchal situation of the Wei family was even worse than that of the Song family.

It's just that Mrs. Cao is scheming and used to covering up, the most important thing is that the lintel of the Wei family is not high, and there are as many nobles as dogs, and the imperial capital where the clan is full of places is inconspicuous, and no one is interested in always staring at their family's affairs and spreading them.

So no one knows that the Wei family's cruelty to their daughter is even higher than that of the Song family.

The Song family just regarded their daughter, mainly Song Yixiao, as a thorn in the flesh, and the Wei family ......

The Wei family's contempt for their daughter is not reflected in their daily diet.

Even their usual food, clothing, housing and transportation are better than those of their brothers.

After all, the Wei family is holding the purpose of cultivating a commodity to cultivate their daughters.

gave brocade clothes and jade food, taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and carefully raised a daughter who was both talented and beautiful, not to make her a pearl in the palm of her hand, but to pave the way for her brothers - Wei Mengyue, the former eldest lady of the Wei family, Wei Mengying's sister, was sent out in this way.

She was given to her eldest brother's boss and became the eighth concubine of the old man who was nearly half a hundred years old.

Then half a year later, the abrupt incense disappeared, and only the family sent someone to deliver a message, as well as a thousand taels I don't know whether it is compensation or hush money, slow to talk about relics, and even the body did not let the Wei family meet.

And a few days before learning the bad news, Wei Mengying happened to hear her brother laughing with her concubine in private, saying that the oiran of a certain Qinglou in the city had a thousand daughters - her elegant and beautiful sister who was less than ten years old, had a life, but only got a thousand taels of silver, and I don't know where I was behind me? !

She felt all the blood rush to her head!

However, Mrs. Cao politely sent the visitor away, raised her sleeves and cried twice, "My hard-working son", and then took advantage of the situation to point out to her: "Do you now know how useful the things I usually teach you are?" Your sister is stupid, she has no beauty, but she has no scheming, how can it last long? Men are always greedy for freshness, and the first beauty in the world also has times when they get tired of it......"

She interrupted Mrs. Cao's words in disbelief: "But why did you give your sister away?!" ”

If Wei Mengyue hadn't been given to that old guy, why would she have died early?!

"You're so light-hearted!" When Mrs. Cao heard this, she glanced at her with a very cold and warning look, and said indifferently, "The silk and satin you wear, the bird's nest shark fin you eat every day, and the gold and silver jewelry you wear on your head and wrists, what don't you need silver?!" Look at your sisters-in-law and then look at yourself, the best clothes and jewelry in the family are on you, and you specially invited Mr. to teach your sisters this and that, you go out and ask, who has your sisters pampered in the door that seems to be like our family? ! Now you're not happy if you are just asked to do something for your family?! Why? ”

"You must know that a girl is always someone else's family, and she is raising a daughter from someone else's family, so it is impossible to cross her son!"

"Our family is doing everything the other way around, and everything is close to your sisters first...... How? Now I feel like my wings are stiff and I want to be ungrateful?! ”

At that time, Wei Mengying was eleven years old, and she was not Mrs. Cao's opponent, so she was dumbfounded by these words, and only said: "I'm not ungrateful, but ...... But my sister ...... Sister She ...... If she marries someone else's son, ......"

"That may not be able to grow old peacefully!" Old Madam Cao interrupted her lightly, "Let me tell you, people are ordinary in the market, and if they don't have the next meal, they can't guarantee that one day they will win a few bucks in the gambling house, so hurry up and take it to the hook bar to be happy!" What's more, no matter how low our family is, your father and brother are all working in the yamen? ”

"That sister of yours doesn't listen to persuasion, and she doesn't learn when she asks her to learn things - although she didn't please when she entered the back house of your eldest brother's boss, if she had promised you that she was the right person, sooner or later she would have been tortured to death by her mother-in-law and concubine!"

"Now that she's gone, she can bring some benefits to the family, not to mention the thousand taels of silver, your eldest brother will be able to rise one liter in two days, which is also a good thing for you, who is a sister-"

Speaking of this, seeing Wei Mengying's pale face, Old Madam Cao slowed down her tone, "Don't you say I don't feel sorry for her?" I'm not here to teach you! Our Wei family is like this, if we leave it in other places, maybe it can still have a little weight, but in this imperial capital, what is our family? I already have a daughter, and now I have only one daughter left in front of you, I just feel sorry for Mengyue again, but she can't come back after all, how can I not teach you well...... lest you follow in your sister's footsteps?! ”

Wei Mengying didn't know if what Mrs. Cao said was right or wrong, after all, she had been growing up in the Wei family, taught by Mrs. Cao, and she had no other views at all. She could only instinctively feel indignant about what happened to her sister, and then worry about her future.

This concern is by no means unfounded—three years later, she will be fourteen years old, still childish with her eyebrows, but she has already seen the moon and flowers.

Mrs. Cao boasted to her relatives during the New Year's Festival: "Although there are few sons born in my life, the two daughters are more outstanding than the other, and it is not in vain!" ”

At that time, Wei Mengying was on the side, bowing her head shyly when she heard the words, her cheeks were full of red glow, but she secretly sneered in her heart: The daughter who is outstanding again, in the end, is it not for her son who is not angry? !

She still doesn't know whether Mrs. Cao's concept is right or wrong, but she has already decided to go against the yang and yin - why should she use her life to pave the way for her brothers who have no ability to study and no ability to fight their colleagues?!

So while pretending to be well-behaved and obedient in front of Mrs. Cao, she quietly approached Mrs. Cao's maiden nephew, her cousin.

At that time, Wei Mengying, who was young, was still very young, she thought that her cousin was Mrs. Cao's nephew, so even if she was with her cousin and was known by Mrs. Cao, for the sake of her mother's family, most of them would turn big things into small things - big deals, and old lady Cao would always fulfill them.

Of course, she doesn't really have any affection for her cousin, she just doesn't want to be sent to the backyard of her father and brother's boss like her sister Wei Mengyue, and die an unknown death.

In the end, her cousin is just a springboard for her to try to get out of the control of Old Madam Cao.

However, it turned out that Wei Mengying at that time was still too naïve.

The Wei family has carefully cultivated her for more than ten years, in order to let her win a wealth for the family, how could she be allowed out because of a Cao family that is similar to the lintel of the Wei family?

Especially when this matter was discovered, she and her cousin only handed over a few letters in private, although the words in the letter were a little ambiguous, the two did not even touch their hands - Mrs. Cao went back to her parents' house in person, Wei Mengying didn't know what she did at Cao's house, in short, after she returned to Wei's house, she told her daughter coldly: "The letter has been burned, and the people who know about this matter and send the message to you have also been disposed of." Your cousin will be married in two days, and he won't come to our house after that, even if he comes, I will send someone to watch the backyard in advance to avoid you from meeting him! ”

"All in all, you are willing to be cheap and want to ruin our family, that's a dream!"

Fortunately, although Mrs. Cao was very angry at what her little daughter did, she didn't notice her daughter's true thoughts, and only said that she was a young girl, and there were not many men she could contact on weekdays, so she really took a fancy to her cousin - this kind of girlish heart, Mrs. Cao couldn't see it.

She expects her daughter to be able to stand on her feet through beauty and means after she arrives in the backyard of the powerful family, and if her daughter is a random young man who is not handsome and has no talent, she will be dizzy...... Wei Mengyue's footsteps are small, she is just such a daughter, if she can't sell it for a good price, wouldn't the cultivation cost over the years be wasted?!

Mrs. Cao decided to take her daughter out more, not only to let Wei Mengying find a chance to see if she could become famous-famous beauties are always more expensive-but also to let her see more, so as not to be too narrow-minded and coaxed by others, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing.

Wei Mengying met Song Yuan when she was taken out to see the world by Mrs. Cao.

And, the famous lady who is walking with Song Yuan, the daughter of Gu Shao, who is famous all over the world, and the pearl of the Gu family in Hongzhou, Gu Xinxin.
