When the maid talked about the grievances, she couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her free hand, and forced a smile to smile: "If Madame knows that the eldest lady will return home today, she may be happy...... Miss, go in and show Madame. ”

Xue Hainiang's heart was bitter, although she had already been mentally prepared, but when she really faced her feelings, she realized that she was so powerless and uncomfortable.

Old Madam Xue and Xue Jingzheng even had to hide the news of their return to the door from the Xu family, if they didn't hide the old lady from finding this place this time, wouldn't it be when she returned to the palace, and the Xu family still didn't know that she had come back?

The pink fist clenched unconsciously in her sleeve, and Xue Hainiang forced a smile and said, "Okay, you can give me the medicine, and I'll go in and take a look at my mother." With that, he took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand.

Walking to the door, Xue Hainiang buckled the door, only to hear the familiar clear voice belonging to Mingxi coming from inside. "Come in, why is the medicine delivered so late today......

Xue Hainiang ignored her muttering, held the medicine bowl in one hand, and pushed the door in the other.

Mingxi, who was chattering, stopped chattering abruptly the moment he saw the person coming, and a pair of apricot eyes widened, looking at Xue Hainiang dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing that her eyes were silently red, Xue Hainiang was also very uncomfortable, she motioned for Mingxi to leave for the time being, and she slowly approached Xu's bed with a medicine bowl.

Under the veil, the man who was lying on the ground was more than emaciated. A pair of eyes are slightly closed, faintly visible dark blue in the eye sockets, high cheekbones, and the whole face looks thin like an old woman who is over the age and terminally ill.

Xue Hainiang put the medicine bowl on the table next to her, and called softly, "Mother-"

Xu Shi seemed to be aware of it, and opened his eyes slightly to look at the familiar face that was close at hand, and there was a confused look in his eyes for a moment, and then he calmed down.

"You ......" Xu's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Xue Hainiang and made a gesture to get up.

Xue Hainiang restrained her movements again and again, helped her to lie down, then took the medicine bowl in her hand, gently scooped up a spoonful and blew it before sending it to Xu's mouth, signaling her to drink it.

"Hai Niang, how can you ...... here" Xu Shi looked anxious, "But you have been wronged in the palace?" Although she stayed at home, the rumors outside seemed to be pervasive, Rao is Xu Shi did not specifically inquire about this matter, but the rumors still couldn't stop drilling into her ears.

On the day of the wedding, Nan Shuke did not come to greet the relatives in person, and it is said that the back house of the palace is now a concubine in power, and the Xu family can't help but feel sad. Although she knew that Hai Niang was a side concubine and could not be called the main room, but in any case, the side concubine was far above the concubine. Now, seeing his own flesh and blood marrying into someone else's mansion with the same scenery as himself, but he was left out in the cold, and the Xu family, who could empathize, felt uncomfortable.

Xue Hainiang was smart, she knew the meaning of Xu's words, she shook her head, and motioned to Xu's to drink the medicinal food quickly, "Today, His Royal Highness will go back to the house with me, His Highness treats me very well, and my mother doesn't need to worry about Hai Niang." ”

Xue Hainiang responded. In fact, she can't find out what Nan Shuke treats her badly for the time being, she is very obviously partial to her, and she is even accommodating her in many things, even when she returns to the door this time, she also puts down everything and goes home with her to give her enough face. Except for Nan Shuke's failure to come on the day of the wedding, Xue Hainiang really couldn't find anything wrong with Nan Shuke's later actions.

When Xu Shi heard this, he seemed to be a little excited, and coughed a few times before he said to Xue Hainiang: "This is very good." Since you are doing well in the palace, I have nothing to look forward to. There was despair and confusion about his current situation.

She didn't expect Xue Jingzheng, the former husband of the knot, to raise her eyebrows and sympathize with her, she only hoped that Xue Jingzheng could give her a trace of respect and give her a place to live in the back house of the Xue Mansion, but in fact, Xue Jingzheng's current approach made her lose even this little hope.

"Mother, you don't need to worry, even if it is for the sake of me and His Royal Highness King Qinghui, my father and grandmother will not be embarrassed by you in the future-" The slightly drooping eyelids hid the regret in his eyes, "It's just that I came back too late, I can't come back earlier to see my mother, if I can come back earlier, maybe my father will be jealous of His Highness's favor to me, and treat you a little kindly." She almost gritted her teeth to utter the words.

Xue Hainiang's heart towards Xue Jingzheng and Old Madam Xue was not just resentment and resentment.

Since she can remember, the whole mansion has regarded her mother as a dispensable ornament, although she has the name of Mrs. Xue Mansion and sits in the main room. But Xue Jingzheng and Mrs. Xue never took the Xu family in their eyes.

Earlier, Mrs. Xue was in power and was unwilling to give up her power to the Xu family, and later, because Xue Jingzheng favored the concubine, she gradually ignored the Xu family completely.

Xu's face showed displeasure, she looked at Xue Hainiang and shook her head vigorously, "How can you say that." You don't want to rely on His Highness's favor to squander you, between this husband and wife, only the right way to advance and retreat is the permanent way to go. It was on this word that the mother fell into a big fight—" she seemed to be extremely annoyed, and her brows were tightly frowned.

"I know-" Although Xue Hainiang responded like this, she never thought about whether she and Nan Shuke could have a husband and wife. Therefore, there is no other way but to pay lip service.

The most important thing is that for a while, she can't think of any other excuse to escape.

Xu Shi clasped her hand tightly and sighed, "Actually, my mother didn't want you to marry into the royal family, but my mother looked forward to you leaving the palace to find a man who was innocent, considerate of you, and loved you. I don't want you to marry someone else as a concubine, so that if you live under others, even if you give birth to an heir in the future, you are not a descendant. But think about it, even if you are in the main family, what if the children born are also descendants. If it is not loved by the husband's family, it is useless, it is like a mother's mother, although it is in the name of the main room, but in fact, it is not as good as the treatment of the most favored maid around Aunt Xu. ”

After saying that, she looked at Xue Hainiang again and said: "But the matter has come to this, if Your Royal Highness respects you and loves you, your mother will be at ease, and now I only hope that you can give birth to the heir of His Royal Highness King Qinghui as soon as possible, and if His Royal Highness pities you and registers you as a concubine, my mother will no longer have to worry about you." ”

Gave birth to the heir of His Royal Highness King Qinghui.

Xue Hainiang only felt her scalp tingle for a while, but when she looked back, what her mother said was also a normal thing, but she didn't know that her relationship with Nan Shuke was not ordinary.
