Mrs. Liang was imprisoned in a wing room in another courtyard. She was not physically abused, but was unbearably hungry.
There is only one bowl of porridge with a plate of pickles every day.
Other than that, there was nothing left to eat.
She was exhausted from hunger, and her cheeks were slightly swollen.
At first, she still had the strength to shout and cry. After several days of starvation, she has no strength to resist, and she will answer whatever is asked, just asking for a bite of food.
With a creak, the door opened from the outside.
The sun shone through, and it was very dazzling.
Liang raised her hand to block the light, thinking that the food delivery was very early today.
The footsteps were messy, and there was obviously more than one person coming in.
After Liang Shi got used to the light, he put down his hands and looked at the person coming.
Luxurious, noble, and beautiful little woman with fierce eyes, she didn't know her, but she guessed her identity.
She looked excited and wanted to stand up, unwilling to lose her momentum, but her legs and feet were weak. Just stood up, fell to the ground again.
Xiao Qin'er smiled contemptuously, "You are the Liang family?"
Liang Shi bit her lip and hummed, "I have seen Madam."
"It's pretty smart. I recognized my identity at a glance. Remind you, don't talk nonsense. You are the concubine of that family."
Xiao Qin'er looked at Liang Shi calmly. She is a beauty, delicate and weak, no wonder Liu Yi likes her.
"I don't know what Madam's orders are?" Mrs. Liang lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads.
She has no capital to contend with Xiao Qin'er, so she can only give in.
Move out of Liu Yi
Liang is not stupid. Xiao Qin'er secretly captured her here, which shows that Xiao Qin'er is not afraid of Liu Yi at all.
Moving Liu Yi out would only be counterproductive and irritate the other party.
So she is as submissive as possible, as weak as possible.
If she is lucky, she will be a non-threatening little person in Xiao Qin'er's eyes, not worth fighting. If you're lucky, you might be able to return to Liu Yi's side.
Xiao Qin'er sneered, she had seen this kind of woman a lot. I thought that by playing a little tricky, I could get away with it.
She asked casually: "You are quite good at coaxing men, the young master is so coaxed by you that he doesn't know how to go home. You are good at it."
"The maidservant and concubine Puliu's posture, thanks to the love of the young master, I can only serve as best I can."
"You are quite modest. The young master raised you for half a year and spent no less than ten thousand taels on you. Tell me, how did you coax the young master?"
"My maidservant, my maidservant is just serving her wholeheartedly, not coaxing her."
Xiao Qin'er laughed mockingly, and in a few words, she had already detected the deep scheming of this woman. Deliberately making a pitiful and innocent look is just to deceive people.
"Since you don't want to say anything, Mrs. Ben is too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
After speaking, she got up and left.
"Ma'am, wait!"
Mrs. Liang called Xiao Qin'er to stop.
Xiao Qin'er looked back at her, "What else do you have to say?"
Mrs. Liang thought about it, "The concubine is a lowly person, she can't stand on the stage, and she doesn't threaten the wife at all. The concubine is willing to encourage the concubine and share her worries. Please give the concubine a chance."
"You drive for me?"
Liang shi nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Qin'er laughed, "You are a woman of unknown origin, what qualifications do you have for my wife to drive you
Do you think you have a little beauty and a little cleverness, so you can fool Mrs. Ben? Do your spring and autumn dreams.
Do you think my wife is a woman from the dirty place where you used to stay, with little knowledge, and all the skills you have learned are all for coaxing men
What is this lady's status, how could she want a slut to serve her by her side, so as not to spoil this lady's eyes. A bitch must have the self-consciousness of being a bitch, and don't try to get something that doesn't belong to you. "
As soon as the words fell, the nanny took two steps forward, slapped Liang's face several times.
Mrs. Liang was beaten to the ground, unable to get up, and was stunned.
The nanny scolded: "I don't even look at my identity, but I dare to negotiate terms with my wife. I really don't know how to live or die."
Liang was greatly embarrassed, but his body was too weak to get up.
Xiao Qin'er didn't take another look at her, and left directly.
She came here just to see what kind of woman captured Liu Yi's heart.
After reading it, she lost interest.
This kind of woman is not worth her trouble.
Before leaving the other courtyard, she said to the steward: "Sell her to a kiln, the remoter and humbler the better. Since she likes to serve men, my wife will let her serve men for the rest of her life until she dies. "
The steward takes the lead.
Xiao Qin'er urged again: "Get this matter done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
The steward immediately ordered someone to prepare a car, he knew where the Liang family could be sold, and guaranteed to sell the Liang family to the most remote and cheapest kiln.
Xiao Qin'er didn't stay, and she didn't need to worry about the rest.
She went back to her mother's house.
Liu Yi didn't come to invite her back to the palace, Xiao Qin'er was so angry that she laughed instead.
Well, very well.
If Liu Yi doesn't come, she won't go back.
Mrs. Xiao advised her to be gentle and not to get angry with Liu Yi.
It will be a matter of time before Liu Yi takes a concubine, not this year, but next year.
Xiao Qin'er said angrily: "Even if he wants to take a concubine, he must get my consent, and he can only take a concubine with my approval. Is he still reasonable if he raises a concubine outside behind my back
Mother, this time I can't compromise no matter what. He had to come and apologize to me and ask me to go back in person. Otherwise, I will raise the eldest grandson of the royal family in the Xiao family. "
Mrs. Xiao stomped her feet anxiously, "If you continue to make trouble like this, won't you push my uncle out."
Xiao Qin'er began to cry, "Even if I give in first, and I take the initiative to return to the palace, his heart will not be on me. Don't fight for steamed buns. He bullies others, why don't I make trouble?"
Mrs. Xiao saw that she was crying so much, she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only let her go.
Liu Yi got angry in a hurry, and his mouth was full of anger.
I searched all over the capital, but couldn't find Mrs. Liang.
As time passed, it meant that the chance of finding Mrs. Liang was getting slimmer.
Liu Yi felt pain and anger.
He felt that Xiao Qin'er had done something wrong, but he suffered from lack of evidence. Moreover, the fact that Mrs. Liang was taken away was not like Xiao Qin'er's usual style.
Perhaps as Wang Shun said, the Liang family met a kidnapper.
Thinking that he would never see Mrs. Liang again in this life, that Mrs. Liang might be abused and sold to the dirtiest places, Liu Yi felt pain in his heart.
Coupled with the foaming in his mouth, he didn't have a good meal for a few days.
Xiao Qin'er was still angry with her, and refused to come back after taking the child back to her mother's house. Liu Yi was furious.
"If I don't go, I will tell her to stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life."
Liu Yi drove away the people sent by the Pei family, feeling extremely irritable, seeing no one pleasing to the eye.
Pei was so angry that he had no choice but to ask King Ning to come forward.
"You can't let the old four continue to quarrel. It's been five or six days, and my concubine hasn't seen my little grandson for five or six days. My lord, please talk to the fourth brother. It's because he did something wrong. He's going to subdue Qin'er, and this matter is over."
Ning Wang was indifferent, "I heard that the concubine that the fourth child raised outside was forcibly taken away by kidnappers?"
"Exactly! It's been so many days, no one will be found. The fourth brother is stubborn and insists on blaming Qin'er for the affairs of the outside room. It's playing the piano like a fool."
King Ning snorted, "Let him go. After ten days and a half months, when he calms down, I will talk to him again."
"Ten and a half months to wait? If this continues, will the fourth and fourth couple get better?"
"Does the fourth child listen to persuasion now? He's so impatient, he doesn't have the heart to coax people. I'm afraid the couple will turn against each other if they don't come back."
Thinking about it, Mrs. Pei made sense. So she followed Ning Wang's wishes and left the fourth and fourth couple alone for the time being.
All over the palace, there was a lot of discussion and gossip.
Even Gu Jiu couldn't help but asked Liu Zhao, "As a brother, don't you need to visit the Fourth Young Master?"
Liu Zhao rested his head on Gu Jiu's lap, holding a book in his hand.
It's rare to be free, and he wants to take the time to enjoy it.
In a few days, he will return to the barracks.
He snorted, "The fourth child can't figure it out by himself, so why bother with him. Besides, he doesn't need me to discipline him."
This tone is disgusting.
Gu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows for him, and asked curiously: "You and the Fourth Young Master are brothers, but I think you are not like brothers, but more like enemies. What is the conflict between you and him, and why did you turn against each other?" the point."
Liu Zhao looked away from the book, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have any unresolvable hatred with him. The main reason is that we have disliked each other since we were young. Over time, it has become what we are today."
"It turns out that you and the Fourth Young Master don't like each other, no wonder."
Liu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jiu. He even stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, "From your tone, you seem to have seen through everything. Tell me, what have you seen through."
Gu Jiu first slapped Liu Zhao's hand off. Hate, always like to pinch her nose. The nose was almost pinched and deformed.
Then, she said: "Some people are born enemies, no matter what the other party does, they can pick and choose all day long.
Even something as big as a sesame mung bean can be magnified countless times in the mind.
You and Liu Yi, you two brothers must have been enemies in the previous life, but you have become brothers in this life, God's original intention is for you to resolve it.
But looking at the current situation, you can't resolve it. When you hate someone, it is wrong for him to cry, it is wrong to laugh, it is wrong to be bad, and it is wrong to be good. Whatever you do is wrong. You and Liu Yi, is it the same? "
Liu Zhao smiled coldly, "I'm not that stingy, it's wrong to cry, it's wrong to laugh, it's wrong to be bad, it's wrong to be good. You underestimate me."
"What about the Fourth Young Master? Is he as 'magnanimous' as you?"
Gu Jiu deliberately bit down on the word magnanimity, and reminded Liu Zhao not to put gold on his face.
Liu Zhao said: "He is naturally a stingy person. He has been stingy since he was a child, and he is used to playing tricks to make people happy."
Gu Jiu clicked his tongue twice.
I really can't see that Liu Zhao, who has always been deep, will have a childish side. The tone was sour and disgusting.
Liu Zhao frowned, "What's your expression?"
Gu Jiu held back her laughter and said, "No wonder you didn't even ask about the Fourth Young Master's situation. It seems that you have already reached a conclusion on this matter in your heart."
Liu Zhao said blankly, "He deserved it all!"
"As an elder brother, shouldn't you be a little more generous, don't say that your brother deserves it." Gu Jiu kindly reminded him, at least to save face.
The dignified prince of the palace must show some masculinity.
Liu Zhao snorted softly, looking very disdainful, "I don't need to show face to anyone." Especially Liu Yi, let alone give him face.
Gu Jiu could see through it, Liu Zhao was simply arrogant and disgusted.
She asked: "Do you think the Fourth Young Master will give in?"
Liu Zhao flipped through the book and said, "It will happen sooner or later."
…
When Liu Yi calmed down, King Ning talked to him.
The father and son closed the door and talked for half an hour. When Liu Yi came out, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.
What a surprise.
Liu Yi was persuaded by King Ning and softened to Xiao Qin'er. He took the initiative to go to Xiao's house and brought Xiao Qin'er and her children back to the palace.
On the surface, Xiao Qin'er won a complete victory this time, forcing Liu Yi to give in, and also dealt with that obtrusive woman.
But she won face and lost feelings.
But Xiao Qin'er probably doesn't care much about Liu Yi's feelings now.
Liu Yi doesn't have her in his heart, so why should she care.
When Xiao Qin'er returned to the palace, Pei immediately told her to take the child to Chunhetang.
After not seeing her little grandson for several days, Mrs. Pei's heart was full of thoughts.
"Has the child lost weight? My concubine has already said that the child is still young and cannot change places at will. As a mother, don't just vent your anger on yourself, you should also consider for the child."
Xiao Qin'er lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Mother and concubine misunderstood, the eldest brother is not thin, but has gained half a catty. I only weighed it at my mother's house yesterday."
"yes?"
Pei estimated the weight, but was not quite sure. Half a catty of weight is not only not obvious.
But she still said: "You, you are too hot-tempered. If there is something that you can't sit down and talk about, you have to get angry with the fourth child and take the child back to your mother's house. Even if the fourth child is a jerk, this princess will definitely make decisions for you Why are you ignorant. You are all mothers, so you can't be so impulsive in doing things in the future."
Xiao Qin'er bowed in response, treating Pei's family with obedience and obedience.
Mrs. Pei had held back her words, but seeing Xiao Qin'er's attitude, she held back all the rest of her words.
She finally warned, "Talk to the fourth child, and you will live together in the future. He has been subdued, and you should be more submissive. As a woman, you can overcome rigidity with softness. If you can't meet things, you can make a lot of noise." , turn against the man directly. Men want face."
"Thank you for your teaching, mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law will definitely remember it."
"I hope you will really listen to what my princess said. The child will stay with this princess. Before dark, this princess will send someone to take it to you."
Xiao Qin'er had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
On the way back, she met Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu
"Two sisters-in-law, where did this call come from?"
Ouyang Fu said: "I just finished my errands in the meeting hall and was about to go back to my room to rest. Did the fourth sibling come out from the concubine mother?"
Xiao Qin'er nodded, "Yes, I just came out from my concubine's place."
"Is the fourth brother and sister okay? I heard that you and the fourth brother have reconciled. I'm so glad to congratulate you." Ouyang Fu congratulated.
Xiao Qin'er didn't appreciate it, "It's such a big joke, everyone is watching the show, what's there to congratulate. Second sister-in-law, don't laugh at me."
Ouyang Fu hurriedly said: "Who dares to laugh at you, I'm telling the truth."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, apparently not believing what Ouyang Fu said.
She looked at Gu Jiu, "Sister-in-law, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The fourth younger siblings don't need comfort, nor do we need you to criticize the fourth young master. You probably don't have much interest in talking about other topics. It's a dilemma, it's better to keep silent."
"Sister-in-law's reasons are indeed the same."
"That's because the four siblings do things one after another."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "It's not convenient today, I'll invite the two sister-in-laws to drink another day. The two sister-in-laws must not refuse."
Ouyang Fu was curious, "It's not a year or a festival, why did the fourth sibling invite us to drink?"
Xiao Qin'er laughed, "I am willing!"
Said Wan, and she left.
Ouyang Fu spat secretly, looked at Xiao Qin'er's back in the distance, and said: "Look at her arrogance. I really don't know what there is to be arrogant about."
Gu Jiu didn't want to gossip about Xiao Qin'er behind her back with Ouyang Fu, so she found an excuse and left first.
Liu Zhao returned to the barracks.
It's just that there is one person missing, but it seems that many, many people are missing.
After getting along for a month, the husband and wife have gotten to know each other a lot.
Gu Jiu sat in front of the desk, took out the booklet written by Liu Zhao, and couldn't help copying it with a pen.
She imitated Liu Zhao's handwriting similarly, but she lacked some muscles and bones and evil spirit.
She was not very satisfied, so she threw the copy paper into the wastebasket.
Time to enter February.
A cry of a baby came from the palace, and the peace of the capital was broken.
Just like this spring, everything revives, and people's hearts are also shaken.
