Chapter 18: An Unexpected Encounter
As soon as Dou Guifei said this, Wen Yukou felt that the mist in her heart was all gathered at once, and she rushed towards her, and what rolled in this thick fog were all the cruel and despicable faces of her previous life, especially the Dou mother and daughter. They deceived her for a lifetime and took away everything that belonged to her, her identity, her relatives, her husband, her power and wealth; They forced her beloved to blind her, made her eat chaff, knelt down for a piece of snack, was stillborn, and was put into a living coffin to endure the darkness of despair and resentment; Their shrill laughter and sinister countenances kept appearing in her dreams, keeping her awake at night, and she became a complete stranger to herself in order to reclaim her things......
Now, the woman who sat lazily on it asked her to call Dou's mother......
Admitting revenge as a mother is no less than admitting a thief as a father, which is something that can disgust the dead alive and cannot be let go of for a lifetime. After she was reborn, it was disgusting enough to kill people with a knife and sell her mother's dowry, but she endured it, thinking that no matter how disgusting it was, it was nothing more than that, but today she realized that there is no most disgusting, only more disgusting.
She couldn't.
Both Dou and Wen Yulan stared at Wen Yukou. If Wen Yukou really called Dou's "mother" today, it would be an indirect recognition of Dou's, and at that time, only when Mrs. Yu in the ice library died, Dou would be the dignified and upright mother of the Wen Mansion, and Wen Chengying would inherit the Wen Mansion in the future, and he would not be able to abolish the Dou Clan. Besides, Wen Yukou has a stubborn personality, and she hates Dou's mother and daughter the most, if she is asked to call her "mother", it will really make her roll in the volcanic oil pot, and she will have internal injuries if she doesn't die.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Wen Yukou doesn't call today, then Dou Guifei will definitely not give up, and may increase Wen Yukou's crime and blame the entire Wen Mansion, which will cause General Wen and Old Taijun Wen to dislike Wen Yukou more and more. Her status as a concubine will also be greatly reduced, no matter how smart she is, she is still paving the way for her second sister Wen Yulan, who is more docile and sensible than her.
Dou Guifei killed two birds with one stone, and Wen Yuzhi, the third child who stood silently in the deepest part, frowned slightly, and whispered to her mother Aunt Qi while no one was paying attention: "Mother, I'll step back first." ”
"Where are you going at this time?" Aunt Qi grabbed her daughter's hand and asked nervously. At this time, almost every daughter of the Wen family was harshly named by Dou Guifei, if Wen Yuzhi was accidentally discovered by Dou Guifei and grabbed the pigtails, would anything good happen?
"It's okay, mother, don't worry."
Wen Yuzhi patted her mother's hand, and Aunt Qi knew that she couldn't control her daughter, so she went with her. No one cared about Wen Yuzhi's departure, everyone was paying attention to Wen Yukou, holding their breath and concentrating, to see how this powerful eldest lady should face this crisis.
Wen Yuzhi left the torture chamber and walked towards the flower hall, where he found Wen Yusheng hiding. Wen Yusheng has a stupid head, and without a maidservant to serve, she can't do anything, let alone go back to the room to change clothes. Seeing Wen Yuzhi coming, Wen Yushang was overjoyed and greeted him barefoot: "Third sister, why are you here, is the concubine gone?" ”
"Concubine Dou will leave to return to her hometown tomorrow, and she is interrogating the eldest sister at this time, I'm worried about you, so I'll come and take a look." Wen Yuzhi's eyes turned around, and he found that there was no one around, so he couldn't help but smile: "You've been here all along, haven't you gone anywhere?" ”
"My shoes are gone, where can I go! That Dou Guifei was about to scare me to death, beating me so hard, how dare I go out to meet people. Third sister, you said she was interrogating the eldest sister, the eldest sister is fine, right? ”
"You care about the eldest sister now, it's because she helped you out of the siege......" Wen Yuzhi was silent for a moment: "She angered the concubine, and her father asked Mrs. Dou to help intercede, and now Dou Guifei is forcing the eldest sister to call Dou her mother." I think, whether you call it or not, the big sister is very sad at this level. ”
"Ah......" Wen Yushang was worried: "Then what should I do, the big sister will definitely not call." ”
Wen Yuzhi became interested: "How do you know Lu Dao?" ”
Wen Yushang said: "Because the eldest sister hates Mrs. Dou very much." ”
"Maybe the big sister will think about it in order to get out of trouble?"
"No, the eldest sister hates Mrs. Dou to the core, if she is asked to call Mrs. Dou's mother, it will definitely make her disgusting for the rest of her life." Wen Yushang was simple-minded, but she guessed Wen Yukou's heart by mistake.
Wen Yuzhi was amused by Wen Yusheng's thoughts: "Maybe." I'm going to help you find your shoes, and it's not a good idea for you to be barefoot like this. I saw Wen Yushang suddenly look into the distance, and said suspiciously: "Third sister, do you see if there is someone over there?" ”
Wen Yuzhi raised his head, followed her gaze, and sure enough, he saw a man in white walking over with a servant in green clothes. Wen Yuzhi's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the boy in white as Xiahou Shenxiao at a glance, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly said to Wen Yusheng: "Fourth sister, let's hide quickly, don't let people see it." ”
"For what?"
"What if they're here to get you?" Wen Yuzhi scared her. Wen Yusheng, who was always convinced of Wen Yuzhi's words, was really frightened, and hid among the flowers on the side with her. It was the fan flower that Wen Yukou had selected before, the flower branches were dense and tall, the petals were comparable to the palm of a human hand, and the flower color was rich enough to completely cover the bodies of the two people.
When the two approached and talked in a low voice, the servant in green clothes took off his hat, revealing a small blood-red mole between his eyebrows, the size of a grain of rice, lined with crystal white skin, handsome face, the same as Xiahou Shenxiao, full of extravagance that could not be concealed. In the whole world, there are people who have such a description and cinnabar, I am afraid...... Wen Yushang and Wen Yuzhi took a second look, and they both quietly covered their mouths: It was the fourth prince Xiahou Yubai.
Why are the four princes dressed up like this? If he wants to enter the Wen Mansion, he can come generously...... Now he is pretending to be a slave of the three princes, for what?
"In the past few days, I have figured out that the shadow guard next to Miss Wen Er is very suspicious, and I am afraid that the person my father wants to take is him. It's just that this shadow guard is haunted, and it is not easy to completely hold him. You send someone to deploy first, and then in one hour, it will be the time for General Wen to enter the palace to report the provincial affairs, I will monitor Dou Guifei, and you will act when you see the opportunity. ”
"Hmmm! After checking for so many months, I finally have a little eyebrows, if it weren't for Dou Guifei's feet, we wouldn't have thought that person would be hiding in Wen Mansion. You deliberately asked your father for his life to go to the Wen Mansion to be the provincial celebrant, but it would be difficult for you. I only love Miss Wen when you are in love, and you will be romantic...... In fact, if you count your temperament, Miss Wen Er is good, she is beautiful, and Miss Wen Si is exclusive, why did you fall in love with the proud Miss Wen? ”
"Miss Wen's charming taste is naturally what I like, and it makes sense to say that I came for her." Xiahou Shenxiao chuckled.
All of them mentioned it, but they didn't mention Wen Yuzhi. This is also reasonable, but looking at Xiahou Shenxiao's handsome face, Wen Yuzhi quietly felt a trace of bitterness in his heart and lowered his head.
As if the wind was blowing, her hair hooked the tip of the leaf, making a rustling sound, Xiahou Shenxiao's eyes were sharp, and he collected the fan with a "brush", and suddenly flew over, falling into the flowers, and the two were so shocked that they wanted to escape: "Ah-"
The collar was firmly grasped by a large hand, and he couldn't move.
