"Mother, you can't do this, there must be a misunderstanding!" Xu Rongrong immediately retorted, if she really did this, Xu Rongrong would not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life, and she was destined to bear the reputation of infidelity.
"I was brought up by my mother since I was a child, and I have good conduct. How could I do such a thing? The time I fell into the water was in the palace. I am just the daughter of a courtier. How can I plot against my husband?"
Xu Rongrong was trembling with anger, if she knew who was plotting against her behind her back, she would never spare that person.
"It's not that I don't have the ability. Isn't there a Concubine Shu who is being favored in the palace? Forget it, you have already entered the door, and the Hou Mansion can't afford it. The facts are right in front of you. Who can plot against you?"
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou was so angry that her eyes were so sharp that Xu Rongrong shrank her neck and couldn't help but feel fear in her heart.
"Mother, you can't do this. What face should I have to face the world in the future? I was wronged. I married innocently."
Xu Rongrong didn't understand how the good things turned out like this, which caught her off guard, what went wrong.
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou was too lazy to look at her again, with a sinister look, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you dare to shame the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion will never tolerate you!"
At this time, the servant girl outside the door said, "Madam, Aunt Qing is here to serve tea to the concubine."
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou frowned, "Let her go back, don't be respectful, the main thing is to take good care of her body."
Xu Rongrong clenched her fists angrily, and watched Aunt Qing leave with her belly outstretched. The high belly was really an eyesore.
"Okay, remember what I said today, go back!"
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou waved her hand, feeling bored even looking at it more.
Xu Rongrong shook her head, knelt up straight, "I beg my mother to believe me, I really have never done anything."
Xu Rongrong is not stupid, if she leaves, she will not be able to explain it clearly in the future.
"Ma'am, the Crown Princess was always reserved and polite when she was a girl, let alone a foreigner, so how could she do such a shameless thing?"
Nurse Lin beside Xu Rongrong knelt at Mrs. Yingchuan's feet, looked at Xu Rongrong again, and took a deep breath, "Madam, why don't you find a trustworthy woman to take a look."
"Nurse Lin!" Xu Rongrong's complexion changed. She is a noble and new bride, how can she let a lowly servant look at her body? Isn't this a disguised admission of her lack of virtue.
Xu Rongrong took a deep breath, she really couldn't accept this.
After all, Nanny Lin is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, now Xu Rongrong has no chance to choose, and an experienced woman can spot flaws at a glance.
Otherwise, this accusation would never be cleared away, not to mention that Mrs. Yingchuan Hou taught Xu Rongrong behind closed doors. She believed that she was surrounded by trustworthy confidants, which meant that Mrs. Yingchuanhou didn't want others to know about it at all.
So in private, they checked Xu Rongrong's innocence, and no one would know that if a woman's reputation was suspected in her husband's family, Xu Rongrong's life would be ruined.
When Mrs. Ying Chuanhou heard Nanny Lin's words, she was a little skeptical at first, but seeing Xu Rongrong's agitation and guilty conscience, she confirmed the truth even more.
"If Shi Zifei doesn't take the opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding, it will be even more difficult to explain in the future." Mother Lin persuaded in a low voice.
Xu Rongrong had thought of many possibilities for marrying into the Marquis of Yingchuan, but she never thought of the present one, which was really hard for her to accept.
She was slandered and insulted on the second day of her wedding, Xu Rongrong suddenly remembered what Mrs. Xu said, this was most likely a blow from Mrs. Yingchuanhou.
"Why, I haven't done it, I haven't done it. There is no qualification test. This marriage is bestowed by the emperor. If my mother has any dissatisfaction, just say it. Why are you only threatening my reputation? There is no red on the yuan handkerchief. Do you know if it has been switched?"
Xu Rongrong's ability to tolerate losing her temper until now is considered the limit, and she can't stand being wronged anymore.
Xu Rongrong directly believed that this matter was caused by someone deliberately framing her, and this person was probably Mrs. Ying Chuanhou.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou couldn't hear the implication, her face turned pale in anger, "You mean that I deliberately let Nanny Bai change the Yuan handkerchief to frame you?"
Although Xu Rongrong didn't mention who it was by name, her expression was clearly referring to Mrs. Yingchuanhou.
"Concubine Shizi..." Nanny Lin hurriedly tugged Xu Rongrong, telling her not to be impulsive and contradict Mrs. Ying Chuanhou.
Xu Rongrong was in a fit of anger, how could she listen to Nanny Lin's words, she had long forgotten Mrs. Xu's advice.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Even when the princess is around, I dare not speak like this. What right do you have for a daughter-in-law?"
"Madam, the concubine Shizi is young and ignorant, so she didn't mean to contradict, please forgive me, madam." Nanny Lin immediately kowtowed to Madam Yingchuan Hou to apologize.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou kicked Nanny Lin away, "This is the Hou's Mansion, not the Xu's, and you are not allowed to act wildly. Nanny Bai, drag the concubine into it, and it must be tested today!"
Xu Rongrong was startled and angry at the same time. She watched Nanny Bai approaching step by step, and glared at Nanny Bai angrily, "Don't you dare, you want to force me to death on purpose!"
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou sneered, "If you have the guts to hit the wall, I believe you are innocent."
Xu Rongrong was so angry that she slammed into the pillar with a bang without even thinking about it. Immediately, blood flowed profusely, and she fell down limply.
"Shizifei!" Nanny Lin yelled, and stepped forward to support Xu Rongrong, "Hurry up, go get the imperial physician!"
Mrs. Yingchuanhou was also stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xu Rongrong to be so decisive, so Nanny Bai stepped forward, looked at Xu Rongrong's wound, and nodded to Mrs. Yingchuanhou.
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou breathed a sigh of relief, sat still on the chair, lightly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and looked at a high-quality wool blanket on the floor with blood splattered with disgusting thick eyebrows.
"Quickly take it out and wash it, let the servant girl take care of it carefully."
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou only felt that it was a pity that the good blanket was ruined like this.
Nanny Lin held her breath in her throat, Xu Rongrong was forced to touch the pole on the spot, but Mrs. Ying Chuanhou cared about a blanket, it was too deceitful!
Mother Lin gave her a wink, and immediately a little maid ran away in a hurry.
The little maid went straight back to Xu's mansion, waited for Mrs. Xu for a long time without seeing anyone, stomped her feet and went straight to find Fang.
Fang's words froze, "Why is it so serious?"
"The concubine is in a coma at the moment, Mrs. Hou doesn't care about the concubine at all, Madam Lin sent her servants to report the news, begging Madam to go and see the concubine immediately."
Fang glanced at Fei Cui, "Send a few more people to find mother, the sooner the better."
Fang thought that Xu Rongrong would have some conflicts when she married, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon, and it happened again.
Fang's eyes moved slightly, and someone invited Wen Yuyan to come. When the two sisters-in-law met, Fang talked about it.
Wen Yuyan covered her mouth in surprise, Xu Rongrong was high-ranking and domineering in Xu's family, she didn't expect that something would happen just after she got married, it was really worrying.
Both of them understood that this matter had nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, and Xu Rongrong was being plotted against.
Soon Mrs. Xu came over after hearing the news, and her face turned green with anger when she learned about it.
"It's unreasonable to dare to abuse my daughter like this, as if there is no one in the Xu family!"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Fang and Wen Yuyan, "Get ready, you two, and come with me to the Hou's Mansion. I want to see how much air this Mrs. Hou can put on."
Mrs. Xu didn't give them a chance to refuse. They looked at each other and followed helplessly.
"Ma'am, someone from the Xu family is here."
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou frowned, just now, someone from the Xu family came, and it was obvious that someone was there to inform her.
"Please come in."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou had to raise her spirits to cope.
After a while, Mrs. Xu hurried in with her two daughters-in-law, and Mrs. Xu looked angry.
"Where is Rong Rong?"
Mrs. Xu went directly to Xu Rongrong without even looking at Mrs. Yingchuanhou.
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou's complexion changed slightly, "Mrs. Xu is so imposing. She brought someone to the door early in the morning. Could it be that she is reluctant to part with her daughter?"
Mrs. Xu stopped, ignored Mrs. Ying Chuanhou, and glanced at Xu Rongrong's pale face, her clothes were still stained with blood. Mrs. Xu exploded at that time, and went back to the hall.
"What does this mean? When a talent marries, he will be forced to death. The Hou's Mansion is so courageous. No wonder the princess refuses to stay in the Hou's Mansion. I was blind and allowed Rongrong to marry into the Hou's Mansion! "
Mrs. Xu is also very temperamental, and she is not forgiving at all. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters in the Xu family. The eldest daughter is a favorite concubine, and the eldest son is highly regarded by the emperor.
Now that the youngest daughter almost lost her life, Mrs. Xu couldn't bear this tone no matter what.
"Hmph, Mrs. Xu still has the face to mention it. Isn't it all because of Xu's good daughter, who was newly married last night, her yuan handkerchief was clean, she was undisciplined when she was a girl, and she dared to contradict her mother-in-law when she was a daughter-in-law, and she didn't feel ashamed. I don't know how the Xu family taught their daughter."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou was also full of anger, with contempt in her eyes, she looked down on the Xu family inside and out.
"Mrs. Hou said carefully, don't slander Concubine Shu, it's the Xu family's business to raise their daughter in this way, it's not your turn to ask!" Fang said coldly.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou choked for a moment, and for a moment she forgot that there was another concubine Xu Shu in the palace.
"Someone had an accident in the Hou's Mansion, and the Hou's Mansion should give an explanation, otherwise the Xu family will never give up. It is enough for Rongrong to marry into the Hou's Mansion. Relying on the family background of the Xu family, Rong Rong can definitely choose a marriage that is well-matched." , Mrs. Hou is deceiving people too much by doing this, and she doesn't take the Xu family too seriously."
Wen Yuyan also followed suit, and Madam Yingchuan Hou's face was changed immediately by saying that she was right, and Madam Xu was very happy when she saw the two daughter-in-laws running Madam Yingchuanhou into silence.
"That's right, who knows that Hou Ye was seriously injured, and he might not be able to fight on the battlefield again in the future, so he can only enter the court as a civil servant, and the son has no real power so far, so it's fine if Mrs. Hou, the mistress, can't help the Hou Mansion, why? I just want to hold back."
Mrs. Xu is neither yin nor yang to stimulate Mrs. Yingchuanhou.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Yingchuan Hou was furious, "Now that people have entered the door, if you are not satisfied, even if the two of you take it back, the century-old family of the Hou Mansion is not comparable to a mansion from a poor family."
The Xu family has risen in the past few years, and the background is not enough, and it is still a little weak. It was exposed all of a sudden, and Mrs. Xu's face was a little ugly.
"Mother, calm down. My daughter-in-law has heard that Master Hou is a sensible person. Why don't we go to Master Hou to talk about reasoning, otherwise it will be okay to go to the palace to find your wife. There must be an explanation. We can't be bullied for nothing, Mrs. Hou This is not only slandering Rongrong, but also Qingyu, the empress in the palace, we must find an explanation."
Mrs. Fang grabbed the angry Mrs. Xu and persuaded her in a low voice, because the reputation of the Xu family was related, so Mrs. Fang had no choice but to intervene.
After all the fuss today, it is estimated that Xu Rongrong and Mrs. Yingchuanhou have become deadly rivals. After all, they are married and can no longer go back to Xu's house. This punishment is enough to teach Xu Rongrong a lesson.
Mrs. Xu's anger subsided by three points, "That's right, there should always be a sensible person in the Hou's Mansion."
"stop!"
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou asked someone to stop Mrs. Xu. These days, Ying Chuan Hou has long been impatient with her. If something like this happened, I can't explain why, and I can only make Ying Chuan Hou hate himself for nothing.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou was forced to compromise and took a deep breath, "Dear family, I didn't force Rongrong, this child is too stubborn, and he slammed into the pillar after saying a few words. She is fine, rest and recuperate." It's done in two days."
Saying that, Mrs. Ying Chuanhou took a deep breath, "Maybe the Hou family misunderstood Rongrong about this matter. After all, Rongrong is married and will be the daughter-in-law of the Hou family in the future. Rong's reputation will not be good in the future."
Mrs. Xu naturally knew that she was not good to Xu Rongrong, otherwise she would have taught Mrs. Ying Chuanhou a lesson.
It's just that she can't be underestimated by Mrs. Ying Chuanhou, she has to make some gestures.
Upon hearing this, Bai Momo immediately said, "It's the old slave's fault. The old slave didn't search carefully, and just went to the new house again. There are marks on the quilt. It's the old slave who was too blind to look carefully."
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou glared at Nanny Bai, "Drag her out and beat her with thirty sticks. I misunderstood Rong Rong."
Mrs. Xu's face turned better, "Forget it, it's not good to see red on this happy day. Now that we have found out, don't misunderstand in the future."
Grandma Bai is Madam Yingchuanhou's confidant nanny, if she beat Nanny Bai, it's no wonder that Madam Yingchuanhou didn't hold grudges, Madam Xu can only sell it well.
"Thank you Madam for your generosity." Bai Momo expressed gratitude and guilt.
Mrs. Xu didn't push her every step of the way, so Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou's face softened a little. It was not until Xu Rongrong woke up that Mrs. Xu left the Hou's mansion in peace.
As soon as the person left, Mrs. Ying Chuanhou's face immediately became gloomy, "Forget it, don't mention this matter again, it's nothing to make people laugh."
Just married Xu Rongrong with Princess Heli, and this incident happened again, it's really outrageous.
It's just that this pimple will remain in Madam Yingchuanhou's heart forever, and it's unspeakable for a dumb person to eat Huanglian.
Magnolia Court
Aunt Qing stood on the porch with her belly upright, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Auntie, the Xu family made such a fuss just now. Madam is destined to hate the concubine. On the wedding night yesterday, the concubine ran away halfway. Everyone was saying that the future of the concubine is not easy."
Aunt Qing laughed lightly when she heard the words, she didn't care about Xu Rongrong at all, she was probably the second Princess Chaoyi that's all.
No, Xu Rongrong has a strong temper, much easier to deal with than Princess Chaoyi.
"Since the mother has mentioned it, let's raise the baby in the yard well, and there is no need to have any conflicts with the Shizifei."
Aunt Qing believed that even if she didn't make a move, Xu Rongrong's fate would not be much better.
It was only when Chu Bai came back that he realized what had happened, he moved to the study without saying a word, and occasionally went to see Aunt Qing, all the servants of Marquis Yingchuan knew that the concubine had fallen out of favor.
Xu Rongrong smashed the medicine bowl in her hand angrily, "It's just a lowly concubine, dare to show me face, I don't know how to live or die!"
Xu Rongrong couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately asked Aunt Qing to serve her as the mistress.
When Aunt Qing received the letter, she immediately asked Madam Yingchuan Hou to report the letter, while Xu Rongrong said, "In the Xu family, all aunts have to wait on the mistress when they see the mistress. This is the rule!"
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou glanced at Xu Rongrong, "Have you had enough trouble? Qing'er is still pregnant, how can I serve you?"
Xu Rongrong was even more displeased with Mrs. Ying Chuanhou, so she called her directly, "Huh, my sister is pregnant, and after seeing her for a long time, she doesn't kowtow and salute as usual, let alone a lowly concubine? The nobles here are even more expensive, and when I see my sister, I will ask if there is such a rule!"
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou was speechless, and glared at Xu Rongrong angrily, "You dare to threaten me?"
Xu Rongrong didn't refute, and rubbed the white gauze on her forehead, "I don't dare to threaten, my life is the most important thing, no wonder my father dotes on Aunt Ya so much, and he is reluctant to suffer the slightest grievance, Madam is afraid that I will be angry with Aunt Qing, then That's all."
Xu Rongrong was going all out, and kept provoking Madam Yingchuanhou.
The angry Mrs. Yingchuan Hou's face turned pale for a while, and Xu Rongrong said again, "Hmph, I'm not as good-natured as a princess, everyone can handle it, if I make a mistake, my mother and sister will definitely not spare the Hou family, ma'am A regular wife is partial to a lowly concubine, so she is not afraid of lowering her status!"
Xu Rongrong's words were more unpleasant than her words, and she never considered Mrs. Yingchuanhou's feelings at all.
"I don't have much patience. If I enter the palace with this head injury, my sister will feel distressed. Since the son doesn't care about me, I don't care about his official career. Even the backyard can't be managed well, so how can we manage political affairs."
This was taught by Fang. The more Xu Rongrong cared, the more he was pinned down. She pressed her every step of the way, just like the weak young master of Princess Chaoyi was pinched.
After getting rid of Aunt Qing, the relationship with Chu Bai can be slowly cultivated in the future. When Chu Bai achieves nothing, if Xu Rongrong helps, Chu Bai must be very grateful.
Xu Rongrong is going all out. With the support of the Xu family, she can't be suppressed by Mrs. Yingchuan Hou. Fang also said that if she is pinched for the first time, it will be difficult to straighten her back in the future. The foundation must continue to be laid Otherwise, you will have to look at people and talk in the future.
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou dare not take Xu Rongrong for granted, the Xu family is not vegetarian.
Seeing Xu Rongrong's appearance of going all out, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and turned her face away.
Xu Rongrong didn't care about Chu Bai's career anymore, what else could she say.
Aunt Qing took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, and the servant girl immediately brought a cup of tea to Aunt Qing, "The humble concubine greets the concubine, and invites the concubine to drink tea."
Xu Rongrong looked at Aunt Qing's gentle face, her eyes flicked fiercely, "From now on, you must treat me to tea sooner or later, and don't be flirtatious in front of me, this peony shouldn't be a concubine like you Wear it."
Speaking of which, Xu Rongrong directly reached out and pulled out the peony hairpin from Aunt Qing's hair, and threw it directly on Aunt Qing's face.
Aunt Qing closed her eyes, but the servant girl said, "Concubine Shizi, that is Shaoyao."
Aunt Qing immediately glanced at the maid, and it was too late to stop her, only to see Xu Rongrong smile, and reached out to take the tea cup and poured it directly on Aunt Qing's head.
The maid stared wide-eyed.
"I'm really sorry, this concubine hit the wall today, and she was soft for a while, Aunt Qing won't mind."
Aunt Qing's face was dripping with tea stains, her delicate face was completely smeared with makeup, she was very embarrassed, she gritted her teeth and shook her head.
"The concubine dare not."
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou scolded, "Have you had enough trouble!"
Xu Rongrong put down the teacup and glanced at Madam Yingchuanhou, "Madam, I am following the rules."
Mrs. Ying Chuan Hou waved her hand at Aunt Qing, "Go down first."
Only then did Aunt Qing walk out of the room step by step while supporting the servant girl's hand, her entire face was pale and full of hatred.
That night, the Magnolia Courtyard suddenly became lively. Aunt Qing had been wailing for half an hour when she saw that she was red. An experienced woman could tell that with so much blood shed, the baby might not be safe.
