"Do you want to talk about Yuan Xiu's concubine?"

The two of them were a little surprised, I would make it clear so quickly, and put this matter on the table, they were a little stunned for a while, especially Han Zitong looked at me who couldn't react at all, and only said "ah" for a while.

I looked at them coldly, my eyes not at all pleasant, and even a little anger that I couldn't hide.

Han Ruoshi quickly came back to her senses, but she didn't speak immediately, just covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, Han Zitong, who was sitting on the side, immediately subconsciously reached out to support her shoulder, and when she looked at me again, her eyes looked extremely unfriendly, as if her sister's two coughs just now were stimulated by me.

It's just that although she has a very bad attitude, this matter is still waiting for me to open up after all, so although she is dissatisfied with me, she still holds back and says, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Not how."

"How?" Both of them frowned at the same time, and Han Zitong immediately said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I said coldly: "I still say the same thing, if he really wants to take a concubine, let him tell me himself." ”

Han Zitong said: "If he says it, will you agree?" ”

The corners of my lips curled up a little: "Who said I would agree?" ”

"......" The two of them were stunned again, and Han Zitong's face obviously showed anger: "Then you let him come and talk to you, what do you say?" ”

I said, "I just want to see if the person who wants to be his concubine can let him come and talk to me." ”

“……！”

"If he can't even do that, then that woman is not so important to him."

Hearing my words, Han Ruoshi's face became a little pale, as if the cold had penetrated her soft body, and she began to cough non-stop, Han Zitong hurriedly stroked her back to give her a smooth breath, and finally stopped, when she raised her head to look at me again, her eyes were full of anger, as if she was blaming me for making her sister angry like this, and her tone became a little arrogant when she spoke.

"What if, he spoke?"

My eyes flashed.

This time, instead of answering immediately, I was silent for a moment, and the possible scenario seemed to flash through my mind—

Then, I smiled faintly and said, "Then I will wish them a hundred years of good luck and an early birth of a noble son." ”

Han Zitong looked at me coldly: "You will have such a good heart?" ”

"The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, the evil of an adult, and the villain as a villain. Although I am not a gentleman, at least I am not a villain. If someone is happy with each other and needs me to fulfill it, I am glad to see it come true. ”

“……”

She was also a little hesitant for a while, but after a moment of silence, she suddenly seemed to react to something, and looked up at me: "You mean, if he takes a concubine, you will have to leave?" ”

“……”

"You want to threaten him with your run?!" Speaking of this, she sneered first, and the completely undisguised disdain in her eyes was particularly vivid: "You want to use this trick to threaten him and make him compromise, just like when you went to Jixiang Village before!" ”

“……”

I originally had a full stomach of words and a thousand reasons to refute, but for some reason, hearing her mention Jixiang Village made my mind tremble for a while.

Back then, Jixiang Village ......

Recalling the mood of leaving at that time, remembering the carefree time spent that year, and then looking at the two women in front of me, who were soft and rigid, but full of vigilance and scheming, there was even a painful moan in my ears when the maid was beaten, which suddenly made me feel a little empty.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know what happened, until I felt my sleeves being gently pulled, and subconsciously looked back, but saw the wonderful words around me holding my sleeves and shaking gently, and raised my eyes to look at me: "Mother." ”

"Huh?"

"Aunt Ruoshi is talking to you."

“……”

I was stunned for a moment before I turned around, only to see Han Zitong glaring at me fiercely, and although Han Ruoshi's face was not very good-looking, she still insisted on smiling, and said: "Sister Qingying, don't say this, Childe has a deep love for her sister, if Sister leaves, then Childe will be sad." ”

I wasn't in the mood for a while, and I didn't know how to answer it, so I just forced a smile.

She said softly, while picking up the wine jug, and poured more than half a glass of wine into my and her glasses, as the wine fell, her voice also sounded softly: "I have been by Childe's side all these years, Childe's mind I understand best, Childe is in love with his sister, and he is desperate." After my sister arrived in Yangzhou, no one in the whole house knew about the joy of my son, and no one knew? I still remember that my sister fell into the hands of those mountain bandits, and it was Gongzi who went to rescue my sister himself. ”

I looked at her and didn't speak.

After she finished speaking, the wine was finished, she picked up the wine glass, and said softly: "Later, my sister left Jinling with a good word, during that time, Gongzi was like being dug out of his heart, every day he was distracted, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and everyone lost weight, I saw it in my eyes, and I was anxious in my heart, but I couldn't do anything." ”

I didn't speak, I listened quietly, but I smiled faintly in my heart when I heard her say the last sentence.

It was me who made that man emaciated, but it was she who worried about him all the time, and it was she who worried about him every day.

I still didn't speak.

She glanced at me, and continued: "My sister also knows that Childe is a person with great ambitions, such a man is rare in the world, Ruoshi is just in the book, in the drama I have heard of these heroes, when I met Childe, it was by chance, and later I learned that Childe is ambitious, I have the heart to help him, over the years, we are also ...... Day and night, I also understand better that Childe has not been easy over the years. ”

Although my heart was still calm, my eyes were already uncontrollable, and I was dyed with a hint of gloom.

And this moment was also captured by her immediately, and Han Ruoshi smiled again: "However, looking back on these years now, I also feel interesting." ”

“…… Oh? ”

"Gongzi is a northerner, and when he came to Jinling, he was not used to many things, not even eating. At that time, he was like a child, frowning when he saw anything to eat, and the chef in the house was almost swept out of the house by us. ”

"Oh?"

I raised my eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Han Zitong beside her had already rushed to say: "At that time, thanks to my sister, I specially went to learn some northern dishes by myself, and personally cooked dishes for my son, and made soup, and my childe's appetite improved." ”

"Really?"

"Of course!" Han Zitong said, looked at his sister again, and said, "But she herself has lost a lot of weight." ”

Han Ruoshi hurriedly smiled: "What's this, as long as the son is good." ”

Hearing this, I smiled faintly.

It's just that maybe I can't control myself, or maybe for some other reason, the coldness in my eyes suddenly rises.

Others are especially good, but Han Zitong is the one who can't stand her sister being despised the most, and when she saw my expression, she immediately said: "If you don't believe it, then ask and leave-" Before she finished speaking, Han Ruoshi glanced at her, and she immediately changed her words: "Ask for good words!" ”

I subconsciously glanced back, Miaoyan on the side was holding chopsticks in his hand, but there was nothing on the chopsticks, and he was sitting there in a daze, as if he had been listening to us, and when he saw me turn his head to look at her, he was somehow a little flustered, and stammered: "Mother, I-I-"

I laughed and said, "Needless to say. ”

As I spoke, I turned around and said, "I believe it." ”

Although I said this, my faint smile didn't seem to satisfy Han Zitong, and seeing what she was going to say, I continued to speak: "Speaking of which, Miss Ruoshi has really experienced a lot of things when she accompanies Yuan Xiu. ”

There was a hint of blush on her pale cheeks, but she was not overwhelmed by the shyness, but said softly: "Over the years, I have experienced a lot of things. ”

"So, how long have you been with him?"

When Han Ruoshi heard this, she almost subconsciously straightened her chest.

"It's been eight years."

Hearing her answer, I subconsciously smiled in my heart.

It's no wonder that she keeps saying "these years", "these years", she can really afford to say that the eight years of being by Pei Yuanxiu's side is not something that any woman can do, even his wife Nangong Lizhu has not been with him for so long; And he and I, although we often met in the Inner Pavilion, we only met, and even if I came to Jinling later and married him, it was only a year or two in general, compared to the eight years that the two of them were almost day and night.

Those eight years are the most important time for two men and women who are in their prime, he is planning his great cause, and there is such a gentle her by his side, even if she drags her sick body, she also works hard for him, and even washes her hands and makes soup, maybe those nights, there are also times when red sleeves add fragrance, their past, maybe more beautiful and gentle than those described by Pei Yuanxiu.

It's just—

I looked up at her and smiled, "Oh, it's been eight years." ”

Han Ruoshi's smile immediately froze on her face.

I understand very well that today's banquet is a feast between women and women, so the means to win can only be won by women's means, and the way to speak can only be in women's ways.

Therefore, the word "eight years", I dragged it out a little longer.

Han Ruoshi is not a fool, and immediately heard the taste-

It's been eight years.

For eight years, you have been facing each other day and night, he has been gentle and merciful to you, and you have deep affection for him.

However, after eight years, he still hasn't married you.

If you haven't married for eight years, then what's the point of those days and nights, washing your hands and making soup, being gentle and compassionate, and being affectionate?

Han Ruoshi's face became pale, and it became more and more pale, and more and more pale.

Eventually, she couldn't help herself and coughed as she fell to the table.

Han Zitong was anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly reached out to help her stroke her chest again, patted her back, and carefully gave her a smooth breath, while doing this, she raised her head again and again, glaring at me viciously, but I just hooked the corner of my mouth, made an obvious smile, picked up the cup in front of me, and drank it all.

But I saw Miao Yan looking at me, with a complicated look in his eyes.

My heart shuddered.

Even if Han Ruoshi's words just now have a lot of deliberate ingredients, there is one thing that can't be changed, that is, Miaoyan - the original departure was brought up by them after all, for Miaoyan, although there is no mother, but her childhood is full of their memories, but now, her mother is fighting against her two aunts.

The last thing I want is for my daughter to be involved in these things, her world should be pure and immaculate, her future should be happy, and she should not be like me, with memories from hell in my mind, and all these intrigues and power struggles.

But, just a few times we've had to fight – has she seen it all?

Just when I was very conflicted, there was a terrible scream at the door.

Several of us looked back, and saw that the maid had been beaten to pieces, her cheeks were swollen high, her lips and cheeks were cracked, and blood was running down the corners of her mouth; And the maid who beat her was not so happy, even her hands were swollen, her wrists couldn't even stand upright, and her palms were bright red, all stained with blood. She looked at the maid who was beaten so miserably by herself, she was frightened and frightened, her whole body was trembling, and gradually her hands and feet stopped obeying the call, and the slap went down, and directly knocked the maid to the ground, and she couldn't get up again.

And she, holding her trembling wrist, looked at the maid who fell to the ground, convulsed and cried, and couldn't move at all.

Seeing this scene, my heart was secretly tight, but there was still no expression on my face, only a faint glance, seeing that Miaoyan also looked at them, I said calmly: "Miaoyan, eat." ”

Her little face was pale and she looked back at me, but didn't say anything, but continued to pick up her chopsticks and eat the dishes from her dishes.

This time, Han Zitong couldn't help it, and said, "How much of a mistake did they make, and you want you to punish them like this?!" ”

I said lightly: "It's a mistake, it's a small mistake, I just don't understand the rules." But if you don't make small mistakes, you will inevitably make big mistakes in the future. ”

Saying that, I slowly stood up and walked to the door, the maid who was holding her blood-stained palm, her face was pale and still in a daze, when she saw me walking over, as if she had seen the king of Yama, she fell to the ground with a pop, and the other one who was beaten with blood on his face also struggled to get up, knelt at the door and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, I stood in front of them, looked at them coldly, and said: "Rules are a good thing, it makes people know what they should do and what they should not do." ”

Her two heads slammed on the ground.

"Don't think that if you break the rules, you can get anything."

“……”

"If you want something extravagant, you must first see if you have the ability."

“……”

"If you have that ability, you have to see if there is anyone more capable than yourself."

“……”

"Sometimes, the rules are gone, and the strength becomes the rules."

Even if I didn't look back, I could already feel how ugly the faces of the people behind me were, and even I heard Han Zitong panting, as if there was a fire in his arms, and at this time, I turned around again and said with a smile: "So, it's better to have rules, isn't it?" ”

Han Zitong glared at me angrily, I only glanced at her, then avoided her gaze, and looked at Han Ruoshi, who was lying on the edge of the table, coughing and wheezing.

Looking at it from this angle, Han Ruoshi's shoulders were thin, and when she was lying on the edge of the table, even the thin butterfly bones on her back towered high, and she looked really sick and weak, as if she was going to fall down at any time. Moreover, the more she coughed, the more she couldn't stop it, the appearance of the stomach fanning the liver frightened everyone, this time the two maids behind her couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly stepped forward, one gave her a good breath, and the other ran down in a hurry, and after a while, she sent a decoction and protected her to drink.

For a while, there was another busy scene in this hall.

I stood at the door, calmly and indifferently watching them busy, and after a while, under their care, Han Ruoshi's breathing finally calmed down, but a strange red appeared on both cheeks. She was originally a sick beauty, with a pale face, but now with such a red complexion, she does not look healthy, but there is a different kind of weakness and temptation, as if people want to hold her in the palm of their hands and take care of her.

However, I never said a word.

After coughing and wheezing for a while, she leaned against the edge of the table with one hand, as if to support her body that might collapse at any moment, and the other hand rested on the table, and her pale and slender fingertips strained slightly, holding her wine glass.

I looked at her whitening knuckles and the back of her bruised hands, and didn't speak.

After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Let my sister see and smile." ”

I laughed a little too.

But this time, my smile wasn't so relaxed.

Although just now, I used Pei Yuanxiu's power to suppress the two sisters, so that the two maids who were doing things beside me were punished, but in the final analysis, it was only me who used my strength to fight, without the two of them here, the two maids would not admit punishment, without Pei Yuanxiu, the two of them would not be taken advantage of by me, I am here, in fact, I still have nothing, standing at a disadvantage, in a weak position.

If they do have to deal with me, it won't be too difficult.

Han Ruoshi slowly sat up straight, and glanced at the people around her, the attendants and maids around her originally watched the two sisters and me fighting openly and secretly, and looked at the two maids who were punished so miserably by me, they were all silent, and they didn't even dare to take a breath, as soon as they saw her eyes, they all seemed to have been amnesty, and hurriedly retreated, only the two at the door, because I hadn't spoken yet, and I didn't dare to leave, so I could only continue to kneel there and beg for mercy.

At this time, Han Ruoshi said: "Speaking of which, is my sister unwilling to let her son take a concubine?" "But I never said a word.

After coughing and wheezing for a while, she leaned against the edge of the table with one hand, as if to support her body that might collapse at any moment, and the other hand rested on the table, and her pale and slender fingertips strained slightly, holding her wine glass.

I looked at her whitening knuckles and the back of her bruised hands, and didn't speak.

After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Let my sister see and smile." ”

I laughed a little too.

But this time, my smile wasn't so relaxed.

At this time, Han Ruoshi said: "Speaking of which, is my sister unwilling to let her son take a concubine?" ”
