The Prime Minister on the right cast a sidelong glance at Xiaoqihou, and suddenly made Xiaoqihou cold from his feet, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.
Su Fei was also taken aback, apparently not expecting this situation, three people suddenly appeared from nowhere.
"Master Xiang, this must be a misunderstanding..." Xiao Qihou opened his mouth and explained embarrassingly.
Before the right minister could speak, the old lady snorted heavily, "Master! Your daughter has just been beaten up, and she hasn't woken up yet, and now she's being tricked by someone again. You, the right minister, are not worth it." Promise! I, an old woman, don't understand the big things about men, if anyone wants to plot against Xiao Jiu, my old woman will be the first to disagree!"
The old lady pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for being rude, Xiaoqihou blushed anxiously, and quickly explained, "Old lady, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding."
It was not the first time that Prime Minister Right was scolded by the old lady in public, and he was used to it, so he put on a straight face on the spot.
"Master Hou, if everyone is holding a white cloak and wants to marry Benxiang's daughter, that's too naive. Master Hou should go back. Because of the usual friendship, Benxiang will pretend that Master Hou has never been here before."
That said, it was a straight refusal.
Xiaoqihou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Fei, so he had to shut up.
"So, the Marquis bid farewell."
Xiao Ruo, who was watching the show, was stunned for a moment, why did he just leave
The old lady glared at the two of them fiercely, flicked her sleeves and entered the room, the right minister was worried about Concubine Xiao, so she walked up and followed.
Xiao Concubine had already woken up faintly, her face was swollen high, and there were obvious slap marks, which made the old lady furious.
Prime Minister on the right received a lot of blank stares, and smiled coyly, "Xiao Jiu, how do you feel?"
Concubine Xiao pursed her mouth, "My ears are buzzing, I feel dizzy, I feel nauseous, I feel pain everywhere, woo hoo."
The old lady quickly stroked the back of Concubine Xiao's hand, "Poor Xiaojiu, don't cry, you just put medicine on your face, it won't hurt in a while."
Concubine Xiao nodded aggrievedly. Concubine Xiao also heard about the cloak just now, and suddenly remembered Zhao Zun's words, and looked to the right minister.
Like a good-looking man, he immediately understood Xiao Concubine's meaning, found an excuse, let the old lady go out, and dismissed the maidservant.
Concubine Xiao had a mysterious face, she twisted the corner of her clothes a little bit embarrassed, her little face was flushed, and she was shy and didn't know how to speak.
"Well, tell me, what is there to be embarrassed about with your father?"
Concubine Xiao bit her lips, "Father, whether it's His Highness the Third Highness or Xiaoqihou's Mansion, Xiao Jiu doesn't want to marry. They plot Xiao Jiu all because of father."
When Xiao Concubine said this, Prime Minister on the right almost choked, but after thinking about it, it did make sense, so she waved her hand.
"go on."
"Father, Xiao Jiu's reputation has been completely ruined by such a disturbance..."
Concubine Xiao said she was wronged, her misty and black eyeballs were stained with a layer of water vapor, Prime Minister on the right frowned, a little at a loss.
"With your father around, no one dares to laugh at you. If you don't marry, you don't marry. Father will go to the palace to ask the emperor for an imperial decree. The third princess, we don't care. Father will definitely find you a better one."
Concubine Xiao raised her eyes, "Even if the father's power is overwhelming, there is no one in Kyoto who would dare to offend the Third Highness and the First Highness, as well as a concubine Shu and Xiaoqihou."
The Right Prime Minister hesitated, Xiao Concubine's future marriage is indeed difficult, but I am very glad that Xiao Concubine can still think so much.
"Xiao Jiu doesn't want everyone to hold on to Xiao Jiu's marriage. Xiao Jiu wants to get engaged. It doesn't matter if she is far away. If there is someone who is not afraid of the faction of the Highness and does not make things difficult for the father, the daughter will marry!"
Xiao Concubine thought for a while, and only by marrying can she have peace of mind. If there is no one in the capital, then she should marry farther away.
marry far away
The Prime Minister on the right was the first to disagree, not afraid of the faction of His Majesty, after thinking about it for a long time, a stunning face like a fox smiling came to mind.
"Okay, don't think about it, leave this matter to your father. It is definitely not acceptable to marry far away. As for marrying someone, I will go back and think about it."
Concubine Xiao nodded when she heard the words. Judging from the right minister's tone, there should be countermeasures. Zhao Zun is right, and my father must know.
With her father around, Xiao Concubine was relieved, her mind was in a daze, and she fell into a deep sleep.
On this end, Xiaoqihou and his son were a little puzzled as they walked all the way, how could it be such a coincidence
"Father, in my opinion, let's forget about this matter. The right minister's Ni Lin is either the old lady or Miss Xiao Jiu. The third cousin has gone too far this time. Concubine Shu will definitely understand you."
Su Fei especially looked down on Lian Jiye, impulsive and ignorant, compared to His Royal Highness, it was a thousand miles away, I really don't know how there is such a big difference.
Xiao Qihou sighed, "That's the only way."
As soon as Fan returned to the house, he caught Xiao Ruo and asked, "What do you mean, Concubine Shu?"
Xiao Ruo shrank her neck, and stepped back with a guilty conscience, "Your Majesty, what's the point? It's nothing more than seeing my father's love for my younger sister and letting me retire as a side concubine."
"Fifth Sister!" Xiao Ying walked in with a frown, "Is this what Concubine Shu really means? Then why did His Highness the Third Highness suddenly go to Ninth Sister to apologize?"
Xiao Ying felt that this matter was not simple, and there must be an inside story, but Xiao Ruo was hiding it and refused to reveal it.
The one in Xiao Ruo's stomach must not be kept.
"Sister..." Xiao Ruo turned pale.
Fan Shi also thought about it, and glared at Xiao Ruo, "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth? Besides your mother and your sister in this family, who else is thinking about you? Can it hurt you!"
"Now that Xiaojiu is injured like this, according to the attitude of grandmother and father, or the opinion of Concubine Shu, the child in Fifth Sister's belly must not be kept."
Xiao Ying slipped down, Xiao Ruo's face turned pale, and she held on to Fan's hand tightly.
If Concubine Xiao agrees to add it to Su Fei, that's all. If she is not satisfied, Concubine Shu will never tolerate the birth of a concubine's eldest son, tarnishing the reputation of the Third Highness in vain.
Fan took a deep breath, "I can't wait any longer, this child must be left behind, otherwise even if you marry in the future, you will never be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life, child, you are still young, there will always be one in the future."
"Fifth Sister, this matter won't be resolved for a while, and it's time to show off in two months. There is no matchmaker, either a concubine or a nunnery. If Ninth Sister insists on not marrying, and His Highness really wants to marry my younger sister, what will happen in the future?" Wouldn't it be better to carry the big sedan chair upright?"
Xiao Ying followed suit.
Xiao Ruo was so forced that she couldn't help it, tears were streaming down her cheeks, she hated Concubine Xiao thoroughly in her heart, it was all her fault!
After a while, I had enough crying, Xiao Ruo rubbed her belly reluctantly, gritted her teeth, she didn't want to be a concubine, she wanted to marry in a dignified way.
"Mother, eldest sister, I listen to you."
Fan nodded, "It's not too late, mother will ask Nanny to get the medicine."
"So urgent?" Xiao Ruo was stunned.
"Stupid child, naturally the sooner the better, the body will be recuperated as soon as possible, so don't delay the future, just a few days will be fine."
Fan was afraid that she was doing something stupid, and she was soft-hearted and refused to give up. That would ruin her life.
