Chapter 137: Shocking Melon
Xin Nian nodded and said slowly: "Concubine Niangniang is usually quiet, but I believe that she has this courage and ruthlessness when necessary."
When Aunt Qin heard her say this, the nervousness on her face eased a lot, and she hurriedly said, "If you really think so, it's okay, if you take careful precautions in the future, the six girls will be able to grow up safely." Don't look at the children in the house who are safe until now, it's just because they can't threaten the status of grandma and the eldest young master and the fourth young master, so the concubine naturally has a family affection for her grandson. But now your situation is different, the prince is only favored by you, and his closeness to the sixth young master and the fourth girl is better than that of grandma's children; Brother Feng was young, and he could already see that he was a good seedling, but he just fell into your yard again. Your current situation, if you really respond to that sentence, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. 「
Xin Nian took a sip of tea, looked directly at Aunt Qin, and said tentatively in a slow voice, "What does Aunt mean? Do you want me to guard against the concubine? She is likely to attack Liuzai Yaya or even Brother Feng'er? But...... After all, she is the grandmother of the children, and as the saying goes, a tiger does not eat its children."
"I'm afraid that you will think like this, this time Liuzai's matter, even if someone really does it, you will probably only be suspicious of grandma, but think about it, how many things grandma has done in the past year or so? What is the prince's attitude towards her now? Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't pick this time. Previously, the prince insisted on not asking her to be the princess, and it was useless for the concubine to force her, with such a tough attitude, would grandma dare to move?"
"Why don't you dare? Didn't Aunt Feng also kill her?"
"This is different, Aunt Feng is afraid that she doesn't know what handle she holds grandma, but she may not know it, so she died like this, and she became a fool in vain. And the concubine will definitely admit it. In other words, it is precisely because Aunt Feng was killed by her grandmother that she didn't dare to attack the children anymore, and was found out by the prince, even if the concubine was useless for her, being Hughed was already regarded as the prince's old love."
"So, what do you mean? Grandma will be in peace for a while, but the threat to her from me and the children is obvious, so for the sake of her position, the concubine will ......."
She didn't finish her words, but Aunt Qin naturally understood, so she nodded solemnly.
Seeing that Xin Nian was silent, she couldn't help but show a trace of struggle on her face, hesitated for a long time, and as if she had made up her mind, she said in a deep voice: "You must not think that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, let me tell you one thing. Maybe you already know that on the night I gave birth to the third girl, the concubine also happened to be in labor, and the prince was in my house at that time......
When she said this, her voice choked up. Xin Nian was a little surprised, and hurriedly said softly: "I did hear about this, and I also heard that the concubine's child had a difficult birth that night and did not survive, but this has nothing to do with the aunt, you don't have to be sad and blame yourself."
Aunt Qin shook her head, wiped her tears and said, "I'm not sad and blamed myself, I pity that child, I thought that the child was born in childbirth, and for this reason, the former king has always been ashamed of the concubine. Since then, there have been no newcomers in the house, but whenever there is a dispute, the first king has also let the concubine more, and even the three girls and me have been alienated a lot. I...... I'm not complaining, I'm just a concubine, not to mention that although the first king is no longer close to me and the third girl, he also takes care of me very thoughtfully, which is already rare. I also look forward to the royal family and all things ......."
Aunt Qin was afraid that Xin Nian would misunderstand, so she only explained in a panic later. Xin Nian held her hand and said softly, "I know my aunt's temperament, so I wouldn't think like this. What's more, I am also a concubine, we are all blessed by the palace and the prince, naturally we all hope that the palace can be harmonious, I understand your thoughts, if you have anything to say, don't worry."
Aunt Qin nodded, relieved, Xin Nian saw her face gradually turn pale, and hesitated for a long time before she said in a voice that only she could hear, "That kid...... It wasn't a difficult birth, it was the concubine's own hands...... ...... with your own hands"
At this point, his lips trembled and he could not speak, and he could not speak any further.
Xin Nian was still waiting for the following, but soon, she reacted to the meaning of Aunt Qin's words, and she couldn't help but widen her phoenix eyes, and said in a lost voice: "You...... You mean? Be...... Be...... It was the concubine who ...... the child with her own hands."
The last sentence dropped abruptly. Aunt Qin's tears fell like beads of tears, and she nodded vigorously. Then he raised a hand and said in a trembling voice, "I also know that this thing is unbelievable, not at all
There will be people who believe it. But...... But I have indeed heard from one of the most accurate men, that if I have a false word against me, I will not die well if the heavens thunder and thunder......
"Auntie doesn't need to swear, I'...... I understand."
Rao is Xin Nian has been bold since he was a child, and he has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and he has seen the world, and when he heard this at this moment, his heart couldn't help beating like a drum, and even his mind was a mess.
"Auntie's this...... Who did you hear it from? Have you ever told anyone about it over the years?"
Aunt Qin laughed miserably: "If this secret is known to the second person, can I still live to this day? Over the years, I haven't said anything to anyone, even the three girls, and I haven't said a word. If it weren't for worrying about Liuzai, worrying that you wouldn't take this matter to heart, or just staring at grandma to guard against it, I'd ...... I won't talk to you either."
After speaking, she calmed down her emotions, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said softly: "The concubine thought that she didn't know about this matter, but she didn't know that the midwife saw it outside the door. A few years later, when I went to the temple to make incense, I met the woman, maybe this was the will of God, the midwife actually got leprosy sores all over her body, and asked for food on the street. I didn't recognize her, but when I saw that she was a woman begging for pity, I asked the girl to buy her a bowl of rice and give her a little money. I didn't think she would recognize me, and she followed me all the way to the Buddhist temple, and when I went down the mountain, she used the excuse to thank me and kowtow to me. Naturally, I went to help her, and something was stuffed in my hand."
"She's literate? Do you write down the events of that year and tell you about it in a piece of cloth or paper?"
Aunt Qin shook her head: "She can't read, there is a painting on the white paper, the painting is that she is at the door, and she saw the scene of the concubine strangling the child with the umbilical cord. There are also many stalls in front of the Buddhist temple to write letters on behalf of others, and I think she used the money I gave her to buy some pen and ink, which actually has some karma implications, if it weren't for my kindness, I was afraid that I wouldn't know about it until I died."
Xin Nian said in a deep voice, "Is that piece of paper still there?"
Aunt Qin shook her head: "How dare I keep such a thing? Am I still going to complain to the king? The left and right houses are safe and prosperous, this is enough, I am a woman, and what I hope for is nothing more than the peace of the house. Actually, when I first saw the painting, I didn't even understand it, until I carefully recalled the woman's eyebrows and eyes, and then remembered that it was a little similar to the midwife back then, and looked at the painting again...... I...... I was so frightened that I ate it in my stomach at once, and I went back to the house restlessly, and when I entered the room, I sent all my men out, and burned the paper with a fire."
