"The princess has suffered." In the evening, Su He, the personal maid, took the medicine and fed it spoonful by spoonful to Qiu Yilan who was lying on her side. Looking at her scars that were still shocking after taking the medicine, Su He looked away from her from time to time. He turned his head to his shoulder and wiped away the tears, "My aunt is so cruel!"
"Thankfully, the prince arrived in time." The late Princess Ruan's dowry mother Zhou's eyes were red and swollen, but she still pretended to smile and consoled her, "Now that the prince has spoken, the princess should be able to recover from her injuries. When the injuries are healed... Let’s ask my cousin to find a reason to pick up the princess and live in the general’s mansion... "
Su He is the granddaughter of Zhou's mother, and there is no fourth person in the inner room now. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Why is the prince sincerely saving the princess? He is clearly afraid of disturbing Mrs. Qin Guogong who is admiring plum blossoms in the courtyard next door. , This is how people let go of the princess! If General Jiang hadn’t come to visit, our princess would have... "
"Keep your voice down!" Zhou's mother frowned and shouted, "Do you want to kill the princess?"
Then she whispered to Qiu Yilan, "Princess, we are living under someone else's roof now. You... you must be patient! I am determined not to reveal my hatred for the prince!"
"Mother Zhou, I know." Qiu Yilan coughed a few times, spit out blood, and said lightly, "Not only the prince, but also my aunt, I am very considerate of her. After all, Kang Jinzhang is her only son."
Su He listened to her plain tone and looked at her in surprise. He saw Qiu Yilan's expression was indifferent, but her eyes were as long and unfathomable as a cold pool. After just one glance, Su He couldn't help but shudder. !
"As long as you understand." Zhou's mother also noticed Qiu Yilan's abnormality and sighed, "We can only tolerate it now..."
"Mother Zhou, you just said cousin, who is that?" Qiu Yilan suddenly interrupted her, "Aren't the cousins from my grandfather's family gone long ago?"
In my memory, my grandfather, General Ruan, was originally the second-largest figure in the Darui Army. His prestige was second only to Jiang Qianchuan, the general of the Hussars and the Duke of Qin, who was the "Gancheng of the Country". The Ruan family was also very prominent at that time.
However, due to General Ruan’s tragic defeat ten years ago, not only did his son, grandson, and son-in-law Qiu Zhongyan, the former King of Xihe, die, but the Ruan family and his in-laws were all extinct, and even the glory they had earned through half a lifetime of military service was deprived of them. Only a general's palace and the false title of general are left.
It was also because of this that Mrs. Lu had the courage and opportunity to attack General Ruan and Princess Ruan!
"He is the adopted heir of General Ruan when you left the capital, Princess." Su He whispered, "It is said that General Ruan was the successor of the former army. He was also here to attend to the funeral affairs of the previous princess. I heard that you were Trapped in the mountain by an avalanche, life or death is uncertain, and I offer to pay my last respects to the princess on your behalf..."
Su He's eyes turned red when he said this, "As soon as the princess died, my aunt and Princess Yang sent someone over to say that the princess was going on a bad day, and if she was not buried quickly, it would hinder the whole family... If it weren't for the cousin who came and gave it to the palace The meeting gift of five thousand taels of silver, they even planned to carry the princess out on the same day... "
Qiu Yilan breathed out: "I understand. Is this cousin... cousin or cousin?"
"My cousin is five years older than you." Su He said, "By the way, my cousin asked Princess Yang to report to her as soon as she came back. Maybe she was delayed by something during the day, otherwise..."
"Five thousand taels of silver are exchanged for a chance to die. If you come to see me again, how can you be empty-handed?" Qiu Yilan said nothing, thinking in her mind, "It seems that the reason why Princess Yang kept me is not that simple. But in my memory, the Ruan family was defeated. It was very difficult to live a backward life, and Princess Ruan often had to sell her dowry to secretly support her. General Ruan was also poisoned by the Lu family because of this... This cousin who suddenly appeared can actually be so generous? "
At this time, the door of the inner room was suddenly pushed open, and a well-dressed woman walked in. Seeing Qiu Yilan awake, she said a long "yo" and walked to Xiu Yilan not far away. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on the stool and said harshly: "Are you not dead yet?"
"You!" Su He was so angry that he was about to stand up, but Zhou's mother quickly pushed her back with quick eyes and hands. She quickly winked at Qiu Yilan and then smiled apologetically at the old woman: "Mother Fan, why are you here? ? "This is Qiu Yuqing's confidant, Mrs. Fan.
"What a joke!" When Fan's mother heard this, she immediately grabbed the tea bowl on the table and threw it on the ground. "Your master killed our young master. He thought that when General Jiang came to visit and the princess said something to you, this matter would be over." !”
Su He couldn't help shouting: "My princess did not harm anyone! It was you who forced my princess to go..."
"Little hooves, how dare you talk back to me?!" Fan's mother heard this, her eyes flashed with sternness, she stood up, stepped forward and gave Su He a hard slap in the face! The beating made Su He scream, and the half bowl of concoction that had not yet been finished was poured onto the quilt covered by Qiu Yilan!
"Princess!" Zhou's mother ignored her granddaughter and hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qiu Yilan. She saw that Qiu Yilan's face turned pale in pain after being crushed by Su He. No problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Na Fan's mother saw this, she suddenly pushed Su He again, but this time Su He would rather fall to the green brick ground next to him than crush Qiu Yilan again!
"Bah! You bitch! You don't have any rules!" Fan's mother didn't dare to go up and hit Qiu Yilan directly. Seeing that she couldn't be harmed, she spit on Su He and said contemptuously, "Anyway, Our young master is dead but you are alive, there is no way our wife can just let it go!"
"What do you want, aunt?" Qiu Yilan looked at her for a moment with a pale face and asked indifferently.
Fan's mother was also a little embarrassed by her, but when she thought that Princess Ruan was dead, the so-called princess was only twelve years old, and she had Qiu Yuqing as her backer, she suddenly stared: "How is it?! Madam, just A son like this, Young Master, has to go through all kinds of hardships to grow up, not to mention that he is a close relative of flesh and blood..."
She slapped her legs and hit the table and talked for a long time. When she saw Qiu Yilan slowly closing her eyes, it seemed that she was exhausted. She was afraid that it would delay her business, so she stopped showing off her power and said bitterly, "Old concubine, I'm with you." Give all of your mother’s dowry to our young lady to use when she comes out of the palace! Maybe the young lady can help you to beg for mercy from the madam and spare your life..."
Mother Zhou and Su He both exclaimed, and Mother Zhou said angrily: "Those belong to our princess! They were all given to the cousin, what should we, the princess, do?!"
"Don't think that because there are two bitches who are still willing to serve you, you can save your life!" Fan's mother sneered at them, "If our young ladies didn't see you pitifully and miss your cousins, I'm telling you, it's just this one chance. If you don't write down the two dowries as compensation for killing our son after dawn - just wait. Go down and accompany your mother who was just buried!"
After saying that, she took another sip on Zhou's mother, and then walked away with great satisfaction!
Mother Zhou helped Su He up with tears in her eyes and asked Qiu Yilan: "Princess, you..."
Before he finished speaking, there was movement from outside, and a melodious voice made an ouch and said, "Why is this door not closed?"
"Miss Xiuyan!" Zhou's mother was startled. She didn't even bother to change the quilt for Qiu Yilan and hurriedly greeted her, "Why are you here? But what are Princess Yang's orders?"
