"Father, mother, sister, brother-in-law..."
Yaoniang cried until she couldn't make a sound, her delicate body trembled like a begonia being hit by rain.
Liu'er next to her was the rough envoy of Rongxi Courtyard, and now she was captured and used as a personal maid. Seeing Yaoniang crying like this, she was immediately shocked.
Others don't know, but they know how much the prince loves side concubine Su, saying that there is still a princess in the mansion, and there are two side concubines, but they are no different from invisible people. Especially Concubine Su was kind to others and never lost her temper. Everyone in Rongxi Court liked her.
Liu'er panicked and wanted to persuade her, but was pushed away from the side.
The person who pushed her away was Hui Niang, and Hui Niang stepped forward and hugged Yao Niang: "Yaoyao, what's going on, what happened?"
"sister… "
Mrs. Wu also came over, with tears in her eyes, "Did you suffer some kind of grievance here? If you have been wronged, tell your parents..."
Yaoniang was still crying.
"What happened to you girl? You want your sister to die!"
"Sister, mother..." Yaoniang wiped her tears and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, I just miss you."
"Where's Xiaobao?" Hui Niang asked.
"Little Treasure, he, he..."
"What's wrong with my little treasure? Where's the second treasure? You're talking, isn't it the princess who can't give birth to a child who took our little treasure and second treasure away?!"
It's not that Yaoniang is silent, she just doesn't know what to say. She had thought about everything before she came, but she didn't expect how the two children would explain it.
But the way she hesitated to speak clearly made people unable to help but think too much. The Wu family is an ignorant woman. To her, a concubine or a prince is like a book without words. She only knows that she is older than the county magistrate. As for how old she is, she doesn't know.
She also knows that her daughter is someone else's concubine, what good is being a concubine? On the street where she lived, the owner of the grocery store took a concubine. Unfortunately, there was a female big worm in the family. The concubine got up every morning before dawn to empty the toilet. They are not allowed to sleep until they are finished, and they are beaten every other day, and they are not given food.
It was a good day, it was just soaked in bitter water.
When Wu shi thought about her daughter's life now, she regretted and hated in her heart. What she regretted was that she shouldn't have allowed her son to marry Zhu shi into the family.
If Mrs. Zhu didn't come in, Yaoyao would not be sent to Yao's house, and naturally without the following messy things, she Yaoyao would not suffer like this.
"Is this all right? My poor daughter, my miserable second girl, mother has no ability, mother can't protect you, mother..."
Holding her daughter in her arms, Wu burst into tears, tears falling down uncontrollably.
"Crying, why are you crying? Is it bad luck or not?!" Su Xiucai scolded, his goatee trembling with anger.
Normally, Wu Shi would be too scared to speak out on the spot.
Seriously speaking, Mrs. Wu is afraid of Su Xiucai, she doesn't know a single word, but the man is a scholar. Master Xiucai's status is lofty, even if Su Xiucai is too sour and the Su family is poor, Wu's is full of respect for Su Xiucai. In this awe there is also the instinct to regard the husband as the sky, in the Su family, it is natural that Su Xiucai can do whatever he says.
It may be that the fire has been simmering in my heart for a long time, it may be an outbreak under depression, or it may be that the instinct to love her daughter has overcome another instinct. Wu's rare not only did not keep silent, but cried loudly: "Why can't I Cry, I cry, what happened to my daughter? It’s not that you dislike Yaoyao all the time, my Yaoer will end up in such a state? I’m a concubine, and the children can’t raise themselves. I’m a slave, and I’m beaten every day without food... "
The problem is Mrs. Wu, which eye of yours sees Yaoniang being beaten every day and still refuses to eat
King Jin received the news when he returned to the mansion, and came over immediately. He became suspicious when he was on the way, but now seeing the situation, he naturally didn't show up, and just stood outside on the porch.
It's also a coincidence that there is a pillar blocking it, so you can see the inside from the outside, but you can't see it from the inside if the location is wrong. King Jin just looked inside with a pair of faint eyes, and saw that Yaoniang was so aggrieved and fell into the arms of her mother and sister, like a tortured little daughter-in-law.
Goodbye, she deliberately wore old clothes, but her skin was pink and greasy, white and rosy, she didn't look fleshy, but her body was full of soft flesh.
It's soft and smooth, and he likes to rub it with his fingers the most. Every time she rubs it so much that she can't stand it, she begs for mercy softly. She is also coquettish, not much, just a red mark. A crimson hibiscus flower stands against the jade-white background, no matter how you look at it, it is so rare...
Why are you beaten every day and not given food
Little liar!
It was rare for Mrs. Wu to get angry for a while, Su Xiucai was probably not prepared, but instead became weak.
He also heard that Yaoniang was being a concubine for someone, and the child could not be raised, and life was hard, so his complexion became complicated. After all, it is my own child, and I have raised it for more than ten years, so how can I not feel distressed.
"If she had listened to her family honestly, why would she have come to this point." What he thought in his heart and what he said were two different things, and it was Su Xiu who would not show weakness, but he really thought so in his heart.
"Listen to you, listen to you and become a concubine for Mr. He? Is there a difference?!"
"Yucheng's daughter-in-law said this, you can ask her. In her situation back then, if someone was a concubine, she would burn incense. Don't you want her to never get married and be criticized by others?"
"Speaking of it, you only care about your own reputation. What's the use of your reputation, you just hold on to it all day long." Wu Shi also had a big explosion today.
No one expected that the old couple would quarrel before things got out of the way.
Seeing the current situation, Su Yucheng's expression was not very good, "Since life is not good, let's go home."
"Yes yes yes, go home, go home. Let's go, my second girl, go home with mother." Wu Shi wiped away her tears and went to pull Yaoniang.
Su Xiucai didn't say anything, but Zhu Shi said anxiously: "What are you taking her back for? How can you support one more person in the family situation? Her reputation is so bad, daddy, do you have the face to go out to meet people in the future? Mother, you Want to poke someone's spine?"
Turning around, he yelled at Su Yucheng again: "Take her back, and you will work as a coolie to earn money to support her in the future!"
It has to be said that Mrs. Zhu is very good at calculating people's hearts. At least she knows the thoughts of the Su family and knows what the other party cares about most.
Su Xiucai is the most embarrassing, and Wu's is most afraid of those little daughters-in-law and aunts in the neighborhood talking about their own family affairs, and Su Yucheng is used to idleness, so it is better to kill him than let him work as a coolie.
Su Xiucai and Su Yucheng stopped talking immediately, and Wu Shi also hesitated a bit.
Zhu said again: "You think that being a concubine to a rich family means that you can leave if you want? They all signed the deed, and if you want to redeem yourself, you need money. Besides, they don't lack this money. Why? I want you to redeem yourself. Life is someone else’s, and death is someone’s ghost. For rich people, even if someone is killed, you will not be allowed to lead the family.”
Zhu originally wanted to make the rich family powerful, hateful and terrifying, so as to dissuade the Su family. To put it bluntly, the Su family are ordinary people who are most afraid of causing trouble, but they never thought that this sentence would arouse Wu's resentment and fear.
In Wu's mind, no matter where her daughter is, she can always survive and have something to eat. This big family is so scary, what if the concubine, who can't bear children, deliberately tortured her daughter to death just to snatch the child away
"We don't want the child anymore. You go back with your mother, and your mother will take care of you. Your father and brother don't care about you, and your mother, even if your mother can't do it, and your sister... Go home with your mother, we won't stay here anymore..." Wu went to La Yaoniang. Yaoniang's tears came from acting, but at this moment tears fell down: "Mom, I..."
"Mother, go and beg the prince, he is such a high official, he will definitely not care about people like us. If he doesn't agree to mother, he will keep begging him, don't be afraid..." Wu Shi's eyes flashed with anxiety, but she still said so.
This is a motherly heart.
When both father and brother hesitated, only the mother rushed out without hesitation.
It's not that Mrs. Wu doesn't love Yaoniang, she just can't help it. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhu was always finding fault at home. She had the mentality of being able to bear it, and this daughter-in-law was not easy to come by. So when Niang Hui said that she would take the girl away to lighten the burden on the family, she agreed.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen to Yao Niang, it would be a scandal for her daughter to become pregnant out of wedlock, not only a scandal, but also the family could no longer afford it. Yao Cheng felt guilty, coupled with Hui Niang's anger, he took Yao Niang away. After the child was born, the daughter-in-law struggled to find someone for her daughter. Although she was serving as a concubine, in the daughter's case, being a concubine was better than being criticized for a lifetime, so Wu still didn't speak.
People always have a good or even a fluke mentality about things that didn't happen. Maybe it will be fine, maybe it will be okay. But when Wu Shi really saw her daughter living in such a miserable life, she couldn't help it.
She has shallow vision and little knowledge, she can't consider the seriousness of the matter, she just subconsciously wants to take her daughter away and protect her under her weak wings. Knowing all this, Yaoniang couldn't help crying.
She kept holding her breath in her heart, angry that her parents ignored Zhu Shi's plan to sell her to be a concubine, Qi Niang always asked her to endure Zhu Shi, and endured Zhu Shi's domineering at home.
So she has a better life tomorrow, but she has been unwilling to have direct contact with her family members. But in fact, if her family members are really bad-hearted, she would have been beaten to death when she was pregnant. How could she still go to her sister? Home, give birth to Xiaobao.
Even if her father and brother don't love her anymore, she still has a mother...
"Let's go! The old man is going to ask the prince. I think the prince is also a scholar, so he will not force others to make things difficult."
"Dad..."
Su Xiucai cared about face the most, and he never heard the word "begging" from his mouth. If it weren't for this, he was born a dignified scholar, and there are no more than ten in a county, and he wouldn't be living in such a poor and embarrassing life, all because he is too sour.
Yaoniang cried even harder, and Huiniang also walked up with tears in her eyes.
"And my sister, my sister also went to beg him..."
Even though Hui Niang was in her early years, even though Yao Cheng knew what he would meet, he forced a smile and walked up.
"And brother-in-law..."
"What are you doing like this? It's not a parting of life and death. Okay, brother, I'm going to beg too..."
"Su Yucheng, what are you doing!" Mrs. Zhu jumped three feet high and scolded, "The heads of these people are all broken, so are you too?"
"You're fucking out of your mind! That's my sister..." Under Zhu Shi's stare, Su Yucheng let out a sigh of relief: "The big deal is that I will do odd jobs for a few more days in the future, and you can earn as much as you want, so don't..."
Outside the door, King Jin couldn't stand anymore.
In just a short time, he becomes a heinous bully, who needs to plead with the older generations of the other party, and makes his family part with life and death.
He cleared his throat and walked in.
But the Su family didn't notice it at all, and it was Fucheng who saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly acted as a registered eunuch and sang: "His Royal Highness King Jin is here—"
Following the sound, more than a dozen eunuchs and servant girls filed in from outside the door, lined up in two rows and knelt down.
"Meet Your Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."
With this posture, and seeing that the man who walked in was exceptional, dignified and handsome, the Su family was immediately dumbfounded.
Tears were still on Yaoniang's face, seeing this, she couldn't help but wink at King Jin, but King Jin didn't look at her, and sat down on the first chair of the Grand Master.
The servant girl served the tea, and King Jin picked up the teacup, but didn't say a word, but with half-closed eyelids, he flicked the foam on the tea.
Below, Yao and Su's family were all silent and embarrassed, even the ignorant children were scared and shrank behind their parents, not daring to show their heads.
Seeing this, Fu Cheng, known as the roundworm in King Jin's stomach, naturally wanted to speak. In fact, he was also watching from outside the door just now, so he naturally understood what Concubine Su was up to.
"Are you all members of Concubine Su's family? Your Highness passed by here. Since you saw it, it would be impolite to avoid seeing you. Your Highness has always been friendly and courteous to others. You don't have to be afraid of being cramped."
Seeing that this elderly man had more posture than the prince sitting there, the prince didn't speak, so he spoke first. Zhu couldn't help but said: "I haven't found out who you are?"
How did Mrs. Zhu know that the rules of these nobles are strange, the higher the status, the less they talk. Especially those with high status and those with low status have always been spoken for by the people around them.
"Our family?" Fu Cheng smiled arrogantly, puffing out his chest, "Our family is not talented, but I am the head of the palace. You can call me Boss Fu."
"Oh, it turned out to be the Chief Manager! I'm Su, Su's concubine's sister-in-law, I..."
Su Yucheng pulled Zhu Shi from behind, and seeing everyone looking at her, she limply stopped.
"You are the chief executive, that's just right." At this time, Su Xiucai took a step forward, straightened his scribe shirt, and then cupped his hands and said, "I am the father of Su Yaoniang..."
Fucheng stretched out his hand in an interrupting gesture, with a smile on his face, but mixed with aloofness and inviolability.
"Scholar from the Su family, you should not bring up the matter discussed just now. My Jin Palace has the rules of the palace. The concubine Su is the female family member of the back house in the mansion. She should keep her duty and not talk about other things. I think it's your first offence. , Your Highness will not deal with it, and hope that you will not commit another crime, remember to remember."
"This-"
As a woman, it is only natural to abide by women's morals. Besides, Su Xiucai just stood up in a moment of anger, and this breath was interrupted, so naturally she couldn't hold on.
Naturally, Fu Cheng would not let Su Xiucai get down on the stage, and said: "Master Su, don't worry, although Concubine Su is soft-spoken, after all, she gave birth to two sons for His Highness. His Highness is wise and powerful, so naturally he will not let Concubine Su What a shame."
No major grievances, but small grievances are definitely ignored.
Is that what you mean
The Su family all heard this meaning, and then they thought that the princess in the palace is a big woman after all, and it is only natural for a big woman to make things difficult for a young woman. Being wronged is a bit uncomfortable, but it's better than losing your life, isn't it
Wu also heard that the palace would not agree with them taking their daughter away, and said with tears in her eyes: "I hope the lord can sympathize with my daughter, Yaoyao is suffering..."
As she said that, Wu Shi wanted to cry again, but Su Xiucai reprimanded her to keep silent, so she stopped.
"My king will."
This was the first sentence King Jin said after he came in. He glanced at Fu Cheng, and Fu Cheng said again: "Master Su's family came from a long distance, and they must have not adjusted to rest, so our family will order someone to take you down to rest. Central Beijing is bustling, and you can go out for a stroll when you have nothing to do.”
"Father, you should go and rest first." Yaoniang also hurriedly said.
Su Xiucai waited with everyone, and then left with his servants.
Before leaving, Hui Niang looked back at Yao Niang. She was anxious in her heart, but she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw King Jin. If Jin Wang abandoned his sister, he would not come to see the Su family, and she probably knew what her sister meant. She was already in trouble for this matter, so it saved a lot of trouble.
Yao Niang nodded to her without any trace, and she followed out.
After everyone left, Fucheng immediately apologized to Yaoniang. What he said just now can be regarded as the following offense.
Yao Niang waved her hand nonchalantly, and she had to thank Fu Cheng for smoothing things over for her, otherwise it would be a waste of time to reveal her secrets.
She came to King Jin: "Your Highness..."
Jin Wang sneered: "This king has abused you, and this king won't give you food?"
