Chapter 1: An Outcast
In the late autumn of the Prince's Mansion, the night owl whimpered and screamed in the middle of the night. When the drum of the third watch sounded, dense clouds gathered with cold raindrops and poured down all over the sky. Through the window fence nailed by broken wooden boards, Won-hee tried to look out, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
The locked door suddenly opened, and Mrs. Li, who delivered the meal, had a gloomy face and scolded in her mouth: "A bunch of people who have no conscience, don't think about me for good things, and send this errand for the dead." ”
A rancid smell wafted out of the food box, and Yuan Xi glanced coldly, it was the cold rice left over from the slave. Stroking the bulging lower abdomen, the child is more than five months old. Yuan Xi sighed, it's okay if he doesn't eat it, but can the child in his womb survive it?
Mrs. Li glanced at Yuanxi and sneered: "It's all here, and you still put on the princess's mother's style? Do you want the slave to fan you and beat your back?"
"Do you like to eat or not!" Mrs. Li took a sip, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden hairpin inserted in Yuan Xi's hair, Mrs. Li's eyes widened, this was an unexpected joy! She coughed dryly and said, "It's mine, I'll reward you with a meal of white-flour steamed buns tomorrow!"
Yuan Xi felt a little sad in her heart, what a beautiful scene she was when she married into the palace! People said that it was a good family affair with the prince. Being able to marry the only concubine of the Huangshang Wei clan is equivalent to picking up a mountain of gold for nothing. Now, something happened to my father, and even the lowest slaves and maids have to do their own thing.
As they spoke, two maids walked into the room with lanterns, and they all covered their noses, the stale smell made them feel sick. Mrs. Li retreated, and a woman in a crimson cloak walked in, this woman had a bewitching cheek like a poppy, and she bowed proudly: "How is the princess lately? Oh no, it shouldn't be called the princess, it should be called your third sister." ”
"Big sister, why are you here?!"
Yuan Xi couldn't believe her eyes! Since his father was demoted, the Wei Mansion has been unhappy one after another. First, the agate bowl of tribute came out of the ghost fire, and then the witch puppet was found in the corner of the Wei Mansion. Long Yan was furious, and the world-famous imperial merchant Wei was also defeated. As for the people of the Wei family, they were either killed or put in prison. On the contrary, it was her, Wei Yuanjia, the eldest sister of Aunt You's concubine, who would appear in the mansion of Prince He in the Great Chu Kingdom!
Wei Yuanjia pushed her away disdainfully and gave the maid a look. A pot of hot potion was brought to the table, Won-hee frowned, and she smelled a strong smell of saffron.
"What does that mean?"
"It's not interesting, and the prince asked me to tell you, please decide for yourself. Wei Yuanjia took out a silk silk and threw it at Yuanxi's feet like a beggar. There are words on the handkerchief, the pen is strong, it is written by Rong Shen himself, and it is also covered with his official seal of the prince.
Yuan Xi held the silk silk in both hands, only to feel that the handwriting was becoming more and more dazzling, and the wording was so decisive that there was no trace of emotion, and he hated to deduct all the seven sins on his head!
No! This is not what she wants! The bitter taste came to her heart one after another, and her internal organs shrank into a ball of pain, and she shook her head fiercely: "You lie to me, you are lying to me! This is fake, he will not do this to me! I am pregnant with his child, how can he bear to treat me like this? I love him, I have loved him for five whole years!"
"What if it's ten years?" Yuan Jia scoffed: "Do you think the prince will need a worthless woman like you?"
One sentence stunned Won-hee. Yes, isn't that clear enough? He knew that his father had been wronged, but he didn't ask for a word of mercy for his father. What is the situation? What about five years, and what about ten years? None of them is worth the word "profit." She and her children will not be more important than the word "right". Now is the critical moment of the struggle for power, how can Xiao Rongshen allow himself to take a wrong step?
Won-hee's mind was blank, and she suddenly felt a cold to the bone, and she seemed to understand this man more and more.
Wei Yuanjia looked at her coldly, indifferent for a long time: "You are now the daughter of a criminal minister, and you have nothing." And the prince is about to ascend the throne, do you think the prince will let a slut like you enter the middle palace? Looking at Yuan Xi's stunned expression, she covered her mouth and sneered: "Mother's responsibility in the world, let my sister and I do it for you!"
"Mother Yi world?" Yuan Xi stood for a long time, his waist and limbs were very sore, and he held on the table with one hand: "Aren't you the daughter of a criminal minister?
For more than 20 years, she has been living in the shadow of this "difference," and no matter what she says or does, there will always be people who remind her that there is a difference between her concubines! She grabbed Yuanxi's shoulders and her eyes were full of resentment: "What's the difference?!" I am the emperor's golden mouth, the hero of the righteous annihilation of relatives, who is the same as you, a slut?"
"Righteous annihilation?" Yuan Xi suddenly sobered up: "Did you dig up the witch puppet from the mansion with the official army? No! You buried the puppet? You framed your father?! Why? Why did you do this? Where did your father treat you badly, you want to frame him in cold blood and despicable like this?!"
"Because I hate!, if it weren't for that old thing's insistence on not straightening my mother and causing me to bear the status of a concubine forever, the concubine who married the prince should have been me! Over the years, my mother has worked hard and complained, and what has she got? Such a merciless father, don't do it!" She pulled Yuan Xi's sideburns violently, and her eyes burned with jealousy: "You should have died a long time ago, it's not too late! The ghost fire of the agate bowl failed to kill him, and I still think I am benevolent and righteous!"
Won-hee was speechless in shock.
"I remember the day you married the prince, I cried all night. Hearing the two maids chewing their tongues, the concubine is the concubine, even if the mother has the right to steward, what if the mother has the right to take care of the house? So I desperately tied up with the old man and tried my best to please my father's friends in the mall. All the elders gave me a thumbs up when they saw me, but my father was still not satisfied with me, and I had to kill him with just one kick. ”
Yuan Xi was full of astonishment, she never thought that a sharp word could make people crazy to such a point? !
"Good third sister, drink it, let go and the prince. Let's reunite with that old thing in the underworld!" Yuan Jia picked up the medicine pot, grabbed Yuan Xi's hair with one hand, and poured the hot medicine juice into it mercilessly.
"Rong Shen...... Save me, save the child......" Yuan Xi cried desperately, she clearly saw that outside the dark window, there was a figure standing, it was her husband who had loved her for five years! The figure disappeared into the night like a ghost, without even saying a word!
Pain! Body and mind pain! Blood gradually wet the skirt and sticky all over the floor. Shedding the last trace of blood, his child was completely stripped from his body, and the endless pain drenched her in a cold sweat. Won-hee gritted her teeth, she knew that the man no longer needed her, and after this heart-wrenching, he and her had nothing to do with each other.
Yuan Jia smiled, laughing so wantonly, she had never been so happy in her life. A hint of fierceness flashed in her charming eyes: "This is retribution! Third sister, my father has spoiled you all my life, and you have glorified you all my life, but what about me? No matter what kind of effort I put in, he can't see it! He only has you, the daughter of the concubine, in his eyes! You deserve such an end!"
Yuan Xi endured severe pain and scolded: "You mother and son are all snakes and scorpions, do you think your father can't see it? Father has always looked at blood relatives, and never exposed your hypocritical face, you are still not satisfied!"
"It's late, third sister, it's too late to say anything now. We won! The prince's heart is here, and everything in the Wei family is mine. The clan elders support me, and the treasurer of the Wei Mansion is willing to use it for me. You know why Daddy is vulnerable? It's because of his indecision. For people like us who live in deep compounds, there is only one way to die when it comes to kindness. Yuan Jia laughed loudly: "As soon as the prince ascends the throne, everything in the Wei family will be taken care of by my mother and second brother, and the third sister, you have nothing." ”
"Dream, dream!" Yuan Xi squinted at her eldest sister: "Grandmother won't support you, if she doesn't nod her head, you won't get half of the Wei family's property." ”
"When you're dead, maybe you'll see her again. Dead old lady, blindly favoring you and suppressing our mother and daughter. It's funny that you didn't see her come back to life tortured by poison. I just want everyone to know what will happen to you slut!" She smiled very coldly, like a green snake spitting letters.
"By the way, the eldest brother was not killed by you, he was poisoned, and we added aconitum to his decoction. I'm afraid that Aunt Yu won't understand why her baby son died so weirdly until she died. ”
Yuan Xi was shocked, for the rumors of her eldest brother's death, Aunt Yu hated her all her life, and the clan elders would never allow her to enter the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors! It turns out that all of this is a trick of Aunt You and Wei Yuanjia!
"If you want to blame my father, if he had straightened my mother at that time, you wouldn't have to suffer like you do today. My good sister, this is all thanks to my father, when you go to hell, you will definitely be avenged. Yuan Jia leaned down and gently brushed his fingertips over Yuan Xi's eyes: "The third sister's eyes are so beautiful, how many antique dealers have you seen?" Now that she has fallen into this field, I am afraid that these eyes will not be used." Yuan Jia pulled out a golden hairpin and stabbed Yuan Xi's eyes violently. Won-hee screamed and almost passed out.
Yuan Xi's eyes were pierced into blood gourds, these eyes, how many rare treasures have been appreciated, and they have never been eyed. When the antique dealers in the capital heard Wei Yuanxi's name, there was nothing that they didn't praise. People also jokingly called these eyes Sun Dasheng's fiery eyes, and now, all the good things have been destroyed.
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly for a while, crawled towards Yuan Jia with difficulty, and left two blood-red handprints on her white skirt: "Listen, poisonous woman, you poisoned your grandmother and eldest brother, killed your father, took away my husband, killed my child, and blinded me! You ruthless sluts will be punished! Listen, I remember this revenge." I won't let you go! If there is a next life, I will let you die a good death!"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to wash it all away.
