Chapter 256: Homecoming
Everyone was happy on Halloween, but Ling Xiaoxiao's life was not so good.
She knows very well how she came to be a side concubine.
That day, she bumped into Liche and the Tatar princess, and she had a quarrel, but fortunately, in the end, the Bai clan pulled her back, knew the reason, and let her know the truth of both glory and loss.
King Cheng later made amends to her, but she wanted the position of the side concubine, but King Cheng didn't agree, and even the fox girl in Xiqi laughed at her.
She wanted her mother to come back, but unfortunately the General's Mansion didn't allow it, and no one came to see her.
Fortunately, although her mother returned to her hometown, she was able to write a letter to her, and when she learned that her mother had most of the property of the General's Mansion in her hands, she immediately went to find Liche.
Chengwangfu wants to raise concubines and win over ministers, although there is a subsidy from the queen's mother, she is also poor!
Therefore, these assets in her mother's hands came in handy, and she exchanged for the position of a side concubine.
However, recently, Ling Xiaoxiao was a little panicked, the person sent to pick up things had been gone for several days, and Li Che asked her more than once if her mother lied to her!
Ling Xiaoxiao decided to go back to the General's Mansion, she was going to tell the Bai family when she left the mansion.
Bai Shi has been lazy and has no energy recently, so he only asked her to go early and return early.
If it had been placed in the past, Ling Xiaoxiao would still care about Bai's two sentences, but she had something hidden in her heart today, and she didn't go out directly without a word of greeting.
The personal maid of the Bai family behind him snorted lightly and poured a cup of tea for the Bai family, "The princess is just too polite to them, kicking her nose and face one by one, and now she is too lazy to pretend." ”
"Okay!" Bai Shi waved his hand, "She is not a worry-free person in the first place, we just need to take care of ourselves, they don't make any mistakes, just let them go!"
"You are magnanimity. ”
Bai sneered, "What can you do if you are not generous in the main room, just look at the queen mother." ”
The maid was silent, looked at the haggard Bai Shi, was a little worried, and persuaded: "The slave maid let someone call you the imperial doctor! You haven't eaten well and slept well recently, don't be sick." ”
Bai Shi thought about it, and also felt that he had been a little tired recently, nodded, and explained, "Don't call the imperial doctor first, call the doctor in the house to take a look, if it's nothing serious, just take two pairs of medicine." ”
The maid nodded and went out.
But it was said that Ling Xiaoxiao had returned to the mansion, Ling Chuan's personal soldiers had just withdrawn at this time, and the people in the mansion had finished the trial, but they had not yet been released, Mu Nianbai was innocent first, or there was a small mistake, and it was not Shen Xiang's people who arranged to go on errands everywhere.
Therefore, Ling Xiaoxiao only felt that everywhere was deserted a lot, and there were no familiar faces, so she still took care of the etiquette and went directly to the old lady's courtyard to ask for peace, but was told that the old lady was worshipping Buddha in the Ling family's Buddhist hall, and no one saw her.
Ling Xiaoxiao then went to greet Ling Chuan.
"Father, grandmother is going to worship the Buddha, and the daughter wants to go to her grandmother to say goodbye, but her grandmother is gone. Ling Xiaoxiao was wearing a peach-colored palace dress, and the whole person was even more aggressive.
Ling Chuan was even more displeased when he saw it, and asked directly, "Are you doing well, what are you doing when you come back?"
Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned, and said a little angrily: "Father, although I am married, I am also the aunt and grandmother of the General's Mansion, and my father doesn't want to see me like this?"
Ling Chuan frowned, "Marrying a husband, not to mention that you are marrying into the royal family, what does it look like to run home without anything to do in three days?"
"Father. Ling Xiaoxiao's face was a little unbearable, and she wanted to leave, but when she thought about Shen Xiang's matter, she held back her temperament and asked: "Father, my daughter has now been promoted, and now she is the concubine of the king, and her mother's family can come to visit, although the poor daughter's mother is here, no one has come to the door." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao said as she spoke, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and peeked at Ling Chuan.
It's a pity that Ling Chuan was disgusted by their mother and daughter, and his face didn't fluctuate at all.
Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't play anymore, and said with some discouragement: "Father, when will you bring your mother back, even if it is for your daughter, you shouldn't let her stay in her hometown for the rest of her life!"
Ling Chuan glanced up at Ling Xiaoxiao and sighed, he didn't tell her about the things in the mansion.
Although this daughter was raised crookedly by her mother, but now that she is married, he has to save some face for her.
When he said with a deep face: "Ling Xiaoxiao, Shen Xiang is just a concubine, I don't deserve a word about your mother, she was sent away after making a mistake, you will live in peace in the palace in the future, since you are married, you don't care about the affairs of the general's mansion, as for you in the Chengwang Mansion, as long as the general's mansion does not fall for a day, your life will not be sad." ”
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't believe it, didn't her grandmother say that her father had loosened up two days ago, and she might take her mother back?
"Father, how can you say that! Mother should be sad. ”
"Ling Xiaoxiao, don't you understand what I said? The royal rule is the heaviest, if you call a concubine your mother, aren't you afraid of embarrassing King Cheng?"
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she didn't dare to take the face of the palace seriously.
Seeing that Ling Chuan couldn't move, Ling Xiaoxiao had no choice but to snort out of the study.
As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Ling Chuan's henchman who hurriedly came back from the front.
Seeing her, she just said hello and went into the study.
Ling Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, something was wrong, and when she looked back, she usually had personal soldiers guarding outside her father's study, but there was no one this time.
At that moment, he rolled his eyes and quietly approached the window of the study.
Inside the house, Ling Chuan held a stack of house deeds and land deeds, and sighed slowly, "Ah Wu, why do you say this? I don't lack her food and clothing, why does she treat me like this, and even my daughter has that virtue." ”
Thinking of Ling Xiaoxiao's messing around just now, Ling Chuan had a little headache.
Although Ah Wu is Ling Chuan's confidant, this is also a family matter in the General's Mansion, and he is not easy to speak, so he can only listen silently.
Ling Chuan suddenly remembered, "She gave you things so easily?"
Ah Wu shook her head, "Shen Xiaoniang refused to admit it at first, her subordinates brought an old man who was bought by her, Shen Xiaoniang admitted it, but said that these things had been sent to Chengwang's Mansion, and her subordinates threatened her to report to the official, and she used some means, Shen Xiaoniang handed over the things, and the subordinates looked at it, they were all things from the General's Mansion, some were the dowries of the previous wives, and some Zhuangzi were the ancestral property of the General's Mansion. ”
"By the way, when the minister came back with the things, he saw that the people from the Chengwang Mansion had gone. ”
Ling Chuan paused his hand, looked up and asked, "Are you right?"
"That's right, the people in Chengwangfu are all familiar faces who went out of the palace, and their subordinates recognize and see them clearly. ”
