Chapter 55: Do You Really Want a Title?
"You really don't want a name?"
After what happened just now, Rong Qianhan suddenly had the idea of giving her a name.
After all, he was used to sleeping peacefully with her by his side, and it wasn't a big deal to give her a name.
He also knew some of the rumors in the palace in the past few days from Song Yi's mouth.
Always coming to her like this is not good for her reputation.
Ah Yao was stunned for a long time before she spoke, "The prince said he laughed." ”
"This king is serious."
"The slave is humble and unworthy of ......"
"Do you just say you want to?" Rong Qianhan interrupted her.
If she is willing, will she be able to take this title safely?
Rong Qianhan is the regent, the queen mother and the prime minister, as well as the ministers of the court and the central government are all staring at him, and the people next to him have been selected by thousands of people.
Why is she?
Once she accepted this title, she had to endure countless pairs of eyes staring at her, and her words and deeds were not free.
This is not the life she wants!
"The slave doesn't want to."
She waited for a long time before Rong Qianhan's voice came from above her head.
"Sleep!"
Rong Qianhan was still holding her, but he didn't speak again.
Last time, she said she didn't want to, so he didn't touch her.
This time, she said she didn't want to, so he wouldn't give her a name.
The next day, A-Yao woke up, and there was no longer Rong Qianhan by her side.
She breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think much about last night.
In the morning, she urged Rong Ziling to do her homework, and she held the book Rong Qianhan gave her last night to read.
Although she is illiterate, her memory is quite amazing, and after reading it, she knows the movements of the villain by heart.
While Rong Ziling was doing her homework in the house, she went to the courtyard to follow the villain's movements.
After a set of movements, she felt that she was full of strength.
It's a good feeling!
It took her a morning to learn all these movements.
When Rong Ziling was taking a nap, she went to find Su Yuyan.
Su Yuyan called her to the room and explained helplessly: "It's not that I don't keep my promise, it's that I really didn't find Zhao Huaizhi and your mother, even if you kill me, I won't find it." ”
"You're lying to me!"
Zhao Huaizhi was kicked out of Suicheng, and his mother was his only bargaining chip.
If he didn't take the chips to Su Yuyan in exchange for benefits, where would he go?
Su Yuyan raised her hand, "I swear, I really didn't lie to you, I wrote a letter to Zhao Huaizhi, and I don't know if he received it or not, and there was no reply." ”
Thinking of what her mother suffered in Suicheng, her heart instantly began to cramp.
"Don't worry, I will continue to send people to find it, and when there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible."
She didn't believe Su Yuyan's nonsense.
If you want to get your mother back, you can only rely on yourself.
She pondered for a moment and asked, "What family members or friends does Zhao Huaizhi have in Kyoto?" ”
Su Yuyan thought carefully and shook her head at her.
"When his family moved to Suicheng, his friends in Kyoto had not seen him for a long time, and they had long since cut off contact, and I really couldn't think of any acquaintances he had in Kyoto."
Where did Zhao Huaizhi go?
After a while, Su Yuyan seemed to think of something again, and added: "I remember, he has an older sister who married a wealthy businessman in Kyoto. ”
"Where is the Qian family?"
"On the side of Kyoto's West Street, there's a big, grand house where you can try your luck."
Ah Yao left the palace and went straight to Kyoto West Street.
Kyoto is a prosperous place, and West Street is inhabited by a bunch of dignitaries, which can be said to be a treasure of feng shui.
She asked people about Qian Wancai along the street, and finally came to the door of Qian's house.
In the center of the gate of the Qian Mansion hangs a plaque with two large golden characters written on it.
Just from the main gate, it looks much more magnificent than the surrounding houses.
She knocked on the door, and the porter opened it, looking at her suspiciously.
"You are?"
"Hello, I am a friend of Zhao Huai's son, and Zhao Gongzi asked me to visit his wife."
The porter scratched the back of his head in confusion, "My wife doesn't know any Zhao Gongzi, did you go to the wrong door?" ”
"Is this the mansion of Qian Wancai?"
"Yes."
"That's right, I'm here to visit Mrs. Zhao Xianglian."
"Zhao Xianglian?" The porter suddenly realized, "You're looking for her!" She's not our lady anymore, she's just an ordinary little handyman in the backyard, you can just look at her from the back door. ”
Su Yuyan obviously told her that Zhao Xianglian was Qian Wancai's wife, why did she become a handyman again?
To figure out what was going on, she went around the front door to the back door.
The back door was hidden, and the screams of women kept coming from inside the door.
She cautiously stepped forward and saw two handmaidens whipping a handyman.
The handyman was bruised all over his body, soaked his clothes with blood, and rolled on the ground with his head in his hands.
The two maidservants laughed while fighting.
The familiar scene made her angry, and she rushed straight ahead.
"Stop!"
The two maidservants looked at her at the same time, "Who are you?" How did you get in here? ”
"I'm just a passerby, and I only come to see when I hear a sound."
"Since you're a passerby, I'll be honest with you, do you know what this place is? Take care of what you shouldn't be in charge of, so as not to bring trouble on yourself. The handmaiden warned.
"I'm not trying to meddle in my affairs, I'm just kindly reminding you that you have to pay for your life if you make trouble."
"You ......"
The two maidservants looked at the wounded little handyman, and felt that it was almost there, so they withdrew their whips.
"Hurry up, be careful that we accuse you of trespassing."
"I'll go."
With that, she turned and left.
The two maidservants scolded the little handyman a few words, and left with some laughter.
When they were far away, Ah Yao returned to the little handyman.
"I'll help you up."
The little handyman looked up, endured the pain, and said, "Aren't you gone?" How did you come back again? ”
"I lied to them."
Without further ado, she helped the little handyman up and sat down on the ground.
She looked at the little handyman carefully and asked, "Are you Zhao Xianglian?" ”
Hearing her name, Zhao Xianglian looked at her sharply.
"Y-You know me?"
She shook her head and said truthfully: "I don't know you, I know your brother Zhao Huaizhi." ”
Hearing Zhao Huaizhi's three words, the light in Zhao Xianglian's eyes instantly dimmed.
People who are in the abyss will not have this reaction when they hear the names of their loved ones.
"How do you ......"
Zhao Xianglian laughed at herself, "I don't have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore, and he is not my younger brother." ”
When Pingshui met, asking too many private things would make people disgusted, so she didn't continue to ask more.
She stared at the injuries on Zhao Xianglian's body, "Your injuries need to be medicated." “
"No thanks."
Zhao Xianglian wanted to get up and leave, but the injury on her leg hurt and she couldn't stand up.
"Don't be reckless, do you want to leave a sequelae?"
Ah Yao grabbed Zhao Xianglian's wrist and wanted her to sit down obediently, but accidentally tore her sleeve, revealing a large scar on her arm.
Zhao Xianglian pulled the sleeves like strips of cloth to cover the scars, and didn't dare to look at Ah Yao.
"These scars of yours were all beaten by them?"
Zhao Xianglian nodded.
"You weren't married to Qian Wancai before, why did you become a little handyman?"
Thinking of the past, Zhao Xianglian's tears fell down.
She cried enough before she slowly talked about herself.
At that time, the Zhao family and the Qian family were both well-known wealthy businessmen in Kyoto, and Qian Wancai had ten miles of red makeup, and Wanguan married Zhao Xianglian home with a dowry.
The two have been in love for two years, but Zhao Xianglian has been unable to give Qian Wancai a long time, which has caused dissatisfaction among the Qian family.
Under the influence of the Qian family's elders, Qian Wancai took a concubine in the third year of their marriage, and the concubine gave birth to a son in the same year.
While the Qian family was happy, Zhao Xianglian was ridiculed by everyone behind her back, she was a rooster who couldn't lay eggs.
The concubine gave birth to two sons for Qian Wancai one after another, and her status in the mansion gradually surpassed her.
Within a few years, the Zhao family fell in Kyoto, and the family moved to Suicheng.
Before the Zhao family left Kyoto, they didn't want to see her, and even the Zhao family felt that she brought bad luck to the Zhao family.
Without the support of her mother's family, the concubine became more and more arrogant, and asked Qian Wancai to send her to the backyard as a handyman, and the concubine replaced her as a lady.
After being abandoned by her husband and her family at the same time, she survived in the backyard.
Ah Yao patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "It's not worth it to be sad for them." ”
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
"You'd better medicate the wound first!" A-Yao handed her the gold sore medicine.
"It's ......"
"This is my own gold sore medicine, it works very well and will not leave a scar."
Zhao Xianglian smiled and shook her head, "No need, I look like this now, what difference does it make if I leave a scar or not?" Besides, I have injuries on my body, and I can take fewer beatings. ”
After saying that, she dusted off the dirt on her body and struggled to stand up.
"Thank you for helping me speak, but this is the backyard of the Qian Mansion, you better go first!"
Ah Yao thought about it, but couldn't help but ask.
"Have you seen Zhao Huaizhi recently?"
Zhao Xianglian was stunned, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"I have something very important and I want to ask him in person."
Zhao Xianglian looked away, "No, I haven't seen it." ”
Ah Yao caught her expression unnaturally, "You lied, you've seen him, haven't you?" ”
"I didn't, didn't I tell you just now, the Zhao family doesn't want to see me anymore, where can I go to see him?"
"You ......"
"Please leave! I still have a lot of work to do. ”
Knowing that she wouldn't say anything at the moment, A-Yao didn't ask more.
Ah Yao stuffed the gold sore medicine into her hand, "You can keep this gold sore medicine!" I'm leaving. ”
Seeing Ah Yao walk away, Zhao Xianglian looked down at the gold sore medicine in her palm.
After coming out of the Qian Mansion, Ah Yao went to the bookstore and bought a few books that could help her read and write.
As soon as I came out of the bookstore, I happened to meet Su Mingxuan.
Su Mingxuan saw her and walked towards her with a smile, blocking her way.
"Yo! Isn't this A-Yao? Why are you here? ”
Ah Yao didn't want to entangle with him on the street, "Young Master Su, please get out of the way, I'm going home." ”
"Don't go! It's also fate that we met, a few of us just happened to go to the restaurant for a drink, so you can accompany us! ”
As his voice fell, several sons behind him began to coax.
Su Mingxuan smiled and grabbed her wrist, "Let's go!" Don't pretend to be reserved, if you accompany us today, you will be rewarded. ”
"Let it go!" Ah Yao shouted with a heavy face.
