Chapter 44: Secrets
Zheng Xiyao thought she was hallucinating?
Did she hear Jing Kang's name just now, and that Wang Sheng said who died?
Jingkang?
She was still asking something, and chased out only to find Wang Sheng's swaying figure hidden in the crowd.
Zheng Xiyao chased Wang Sheng, and she lost her way.
There were men, women and children coming and going, and she was the only one looking for it.
She has nowhere to go in this strange world.
"You... Is it Miss Zheng? A suspicious inquiry came from behind Zheng Xiyao. She turned around with the sound, and the elegant and quiet woman in front of her was Chen Ru.
Zheng Xiyao stepped forward to stop the woman who was about to salute.
"This is not a palace, so you don't have to be formal."
But Chen Ru didn't get up, but stubbornly bowed down: "Sinner girl Chen Ru, thank your brother for her kindness." ”
Zheng Xiyao let go of her hand and accepted the gift.
"Chen Hai is blessed to have a sister like you."
"No, my brother has a mother... It is his blessing to have a friend like Miss Zheng. ”
Zheng Xiyao chuckled when she heard this: "You don't blame me for not saving your brother?" ”
In response to her question, Chen Ru was silent for a moment: "No, I knew that there would be this day, and my brother also knew." This is what my brother should repay. It was he who owed the royal family and his sister-in-law. ”
"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Xiyao didn't react for a while, and suddenly some pictures flashed in her mind: "Are you talking about Jingkang?" ”
Chen Ru nodded.
"What's going on with them?"
"I don't know. Three years ago, the emperor decreed that Princess Jingkang and her brother should be married. But brother, he..."Chen Ru hesitated for a moment.
Zheng Xiyao: "Chen Hai must be unwilling, but he can't resist, so did he sprinkle all his grievances on Jingkang?" ”
"It's still my mother who understands my brother, and my brother is arrogant."
"He can't take revenge on the emperor, so he bullies a woman?" Zheng Xiyao scoffed. She could generally think that Jing Kang must have had a hard time by Chen Hai's side.
Chen Ru's face was ugly, and finally he sighed and replied: "Big brother, he didn't think about what to do to his sister-in-law, after all, he is already married." But who knew it would end up like that. ”
It turned out that Chen Hai deliberately colded Princess Jingkang because he couldn't swallow this breath at first, and he wanted to make her succumb. Unexpectedly, Jingkang was a stubborn person, so the two of them had a stiff quarrel for a while, and later Chen Hai married Chen Wan'er and Wanhualou Begonia, the concubines of the Chen family, in a fit of anger. ”
All of a sudden, the entire Chen Mansion was in a miasma.
A concubine who is very deep in the house and an Oiran who has read thousands of sails, Jingkang, a woman who has been hurt by her brother in the palm of her hand since she was a child, how can she be an opponent.
Within a few days, he was driven from the main courtyard to the desolate abandoned garden.
But Chen Hai was clear about these obvious frames, but he pretended not to know, and waited for Jingkang to admit his mistake and beg for mercy until one day, but he didn't wait for that day, but waited for Liu Siyan.
Liu Siyan heard that his sister was bullied in the Chen family, and came to ask for an explanation, but was threatened and humiliated by Chen Hai, and it happened that this scene was seen by Jing Kang.
Since then, Jingkang has never walked out of the side hospital. Until one time Chen Hai was drunk and accidentally broke into Jingkang's residence, this forgotten Mrs. Chen appeared in front of everyone.
But no one cared, because Chen Hai never went to Jingkang again, as if you really went wrong.
Until the news of Jingkang's pregnancy came out.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but in the end it became Jingkang's talisman.
At a family banquet, Jing Kang, who had not appeared for a long time, attended, and everyone was envious.
Because no matter who it is, as long as she is pregnant with an heir, she can really gain a firm foothold in the Chen family.
Later, it was a standard inner house fight, and Jing Kang was framed and scratched his face. was imprisoned by Chen Hai again.
I don't know who it was, and lit the fire.
The fire burned
On this day, on Jingkang's birthday, Liu Siyan came to Chen's Mansion again in order to give Jingkang a gift.
He witnessed his sister crying out in the midst of the raging fire:
"Help... Help me..."
However, the fire was too fast, and before there was time to rescue it, the whole house collapsed
"He was poisoned and dumb, his face was scratched, he was thrown into the fire and burned alive, and he was three months pregnant when he died." Zheng Xiyao said softly and slowly, "One corpse, two lives." ”
"Chen Hai, he really deserves to die..."Zheng Xiyao's voice read the name of this dead man.
Chen Ru was silent, her lips moved, and finally she didn't say anything.
Zheng Xiyao turned her head to look at Chen Ru, patted her shoulder and comforted: "I advise you to get out of here quickly, the farther away the better, it's best if Liu Siyan can't find a place." ”
She felt that although Chen Ru was Chen Hai's sister, she was also innocent, and she had never done anything harmful in her life.
"Thank you, Niangniang, the courtiers are indeed leaving here."
"Where to go?"
"Yongguo."
"You don't have to go this far to escape, do you?"
"It's not about running for your life, it's about getting married."
“?”
"In the past few days, the envoys of Yongguo have arrived in the capital, and I will go to Yongguo with the envoys in the near future." Chen Ru said and smiled, not sad, but longing.
Zheng Xiyao understood: It's just that there is no longer any concern in Shu, and leaving is freedom.
"Congratulations, free."
Chen Ru nodded happily, and then bowed deeply to her to say goodbye.
She looked at Zheng Xiyao's disappearing back and muttered, "Brother, everything is as you wish." I hope you will be relieved soon. ”
