Kou's maiden name was Kou Lian. She was originally a distant relative of Shi Lei. Her family was in a state of decline. She was sheltered by the eldest princess and worked in the Shi family to make a living. However, she climbed into the bed of the Duke of the country, Shi Junhe, and even wanted to squeeze out Dong Hui and become the king's king. Madam.
It's a pity that after all the agencies were exhausted, only a daughter, Shi Baoyan, was born, and she could only live as a little aunt.
Dong Hui didn't want others to say that she was harsh on her concubine, and as long as Kou Lian stayed within the circle, she didn't bother to care. But this time, Kou Lian fell to her knees on the ground as soon as she came up, didn't say a word, and shed tears freely. It looked like she felt aggrieved by someone who had bullied her.
Dong Hui looked on coldly and did not step forward to stop him. When Kou Lian started to cry for a long time and started to be out of breath, he said slowly: "You started crying right now, but you want others to think that I have treated you badly." ?”
This straightforward question made Kou Lian's tear-stained face freeze instantly, like a hen that had been strangled, looking very funny.
Shi Qingxue almost laughed out loud at the side, secretly thinking that her mother was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she would do one thing after another when quarreling with others.
Look, even if Kou Lian originally meant this, he could only shake his head at this time and quickly defended: "Sister misunderstood, I just feel sad and remorseful for Wu Niang doing such an ugly thing, and I can't restrain my sadness!"
Dong Hui made a look of understanding and nodded, "Yes, Wu Niang is your biological daughter. When she was born, she was not raised under my name. This teaching is also your responsibility."
"That's right! It's all my fault. It's because I didn't teach Wu Niang well that she made such an unforgivable mistake in a single thought. I really feel unworthy of my trust in the master!"
Kou Lian said that she wanted to retreat in order to advance. She would first talk about her faults and then let Dong Hui comfort her, and then wait for an opportunity to exonerate Shi Baoyan.
But she didn't expect that Dong Hui didn't follow the routine at all, and responded calmly: "Since you already know that you were wrong, I won't punish you any more. You can go back to your room and reflect on yourself!"
After just a few words, he started to send people away, leaving Kou Lian stunned until he could even say a word of mercy before being driven back again.
"Mom, what are you..." Shi Qingxue witnessed the whole process and didn't know what to say for a moment
Dong Hui took advantage of the fact that no one caught Qingxue again and checked Qingxue up and down. Hearing her hesitation, he couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes and said angrily: "You want to ask me why I didn't settle the matter this time, right?"
Shi Qingxue remained silent. Is this really what her mother would do? !
"You little heartless thing!" Dong Hui stretched out her hand and shook Shi Qingxue's forehead, feigning anger: "No matter how weak and useless my mother is, she won't just watch her daughter get hurt and ignore it, right
I could turn a blind eye to Baoyan's fight with you in normal times, but now she can hurt you once and she can hurt you a second time. How can I keep such a scourge around you? "
Shi Qingxue felt warm again in her heart, with a warm smile on her face. She gently took Dong Hui's hand and whispered, "Mother, thank you!"
However, Dong Hui pursed her lips to express her disapproval, "If you could listen to my mother more often, my mother would wake up laughing when she falls asleep, so why would you need to say thank you
Just like this time, small things like finding a doctor can be left to servants, but you have to go to Mangshan yourself. Isn't it making your mother also worried? "
Dong Hui still feels scared when she thinks that Shi Qingxue almost died in Mang Mountain. She only feels that the punishment given to Shi Baoyan is too light!
"Mom! How can eldest sister's illness be a trivial matter? Besides, do you dare to let a miracle doctor invited by just a random person to treat eldest sister directly?" Shi Qingxue did not feel that Dong Hui was scolding her, but felt that The other party's concern was hidden in the scolding, and he quickly comforted him.
Moreover, after passing through Mangshan and his entourage, she also removed the moth Shi Baoyan from the big tree of Shi's family. Didn't she kill two birds with one stone
Dong Hui was greatly pleased when she heard this, so she stopped lecturing Qingxue and discussed with Shi Qingxue about treating Shi Baoning.
At this time, neither of them knew that the borers were not so easy to get rid of. Not only were they tenacious, but they also refused to die.
—
No matter how much Shi Baoyan cried and fussed, it would not help. Aunt Zheng directly called a few servants, hurriedly packed a few sets of luggage and threw the person into the carriage, preparing to send her to the family temple.
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Ruyu suddenly appeared and stopped the carriage.
Seeing this, Aunt Zheng hurriedly came up to her, put on a smile, and said proactively: "The eldest lady asked me to send Wu Niang to the family temple today without any delay. I wonder what the third lady has to do?"
Seeing that Aunt Zheng dared to use Dong Hui to suppress her, Zhou Ruyu became angry and shouted in a cold voice: "If I want to see off Wu Niang, is it possible that I need Mrs. Dong's approval? Don't forget that she, Mrs. Dong, is the time The master of the house, I, Zhou Ruyu, am not the one you cheap slaves can make irresponsible remarks about!"
Aunt Zheng was scolded by Zhou Ruyu. She was very shameless, but she could only apologize and smile, "I don't dare, I just beg the third lady to speak faster and don't miss the time!"
"Hmph!" Zhou Ruyu snorted coldly and got into the carriage without answering.
When Shi Baoyan saw Zhou Ruyu, she seemed to grasp the last straw and cried miserably: "Third aunt, you must save me! I was wronged and I really didn't add anything to the sachet... "
"Shut up!" Zhou Ruyu shouted coldly, interrupting Shi Baoyan rudely.
Shi Baoyan was so frightened that she shrank her neck. She didn't dare to speak out her explanation, and she just shed tears of grievance.
While Zhou Ruyu looked at Shi Baoyan, she secretly thought in her heart: Although this girl is a bit stupid, she is still a sharp blade against Dafang. It would be a pity to give up like this.
Furthermore, Shi Baoyan also knew a lot about her. Even if she admitted the crime now due to her pressure, she still had to win over people's hearts first to ensure that he would not bite her back in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruyu put on a kind and friendly smile, pulled Shi Baoyan's arm affectionately, and whispered softly: "You silly child, aunt believes that you have been wronged, but what did you do in front of your grandmother just now?" If you don't tell me, who will believe you if you tell me now?"
"Didn't you secretly change the Five Poison Powder?" Shi Baoyan complained in a low voice, feeling very dissatisfied.
Even if Shi Baoyan is not very bright, she still knows that the itching powder in the sachet will never turn into the deadly five poison powder for no reason, and the sachet is what Zhou Ruyu asked her to go to the embroidery room to ask for. Zhou Ruyu has nothing to do with this. It doesn't matter, she doesn't believe it!
Zhou Ruyu pretended not to understand Shi Baoyan's resentful expression, and asked in shock: "Why do you think so? How can I, a pure harem woman, find such vicious things? Besides, Qingxue doesn't care what she says. My biological niece, no matter how vicious I am, I can’t possibly want to kill her!”
This was said so confidently that it seemed as if it was true.
Even though Shi Baoyan was sure that the person who secretly changed the sachet was Zhou Ruyu, she was a little unsure now and murmured: "If it wasn't you? Then why did the itch powder that was just to make Shi Qingxue look embarrassed turned into five poisons? Pink? I didn’t let anyone else touch it after I got the sachet!"
Zhou Ruyu rolled her eyes and asked calmly: "Is it true that no one else touched it? The sachet was not in your hands in the end!"
"You mean..." Shi Baoyan's eyes widened in shock, but she immediately asked doubtfully: "Why did Qingxue change the contents of the sachet? That stuff can kill people!"
Zhou Ruyu shrugged and said casually: "Qingxue went up the mountain alone to seek medical treatment. She alone has the final say on what happens or doesn't happen. Who knows what the so-called dangerous environment is about?"
Her words stopped short, but they were enough for Shi Baoyan to understand the truth of the matter! '
Shi Baoyan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed sternly: "What a Shi Qingxue, not only she almost disfigured me, but she even wanted to drive me out of the Shi family completely. I will never let her go!"
But Zhou Ruyu put on a worried expression and took the initiative to 'consol': "Forget it! Your mother was merciful. She just drove you to the family temple for five years, but she still allowed you to come back! Why should you come back? How about fighting them?"
"Five years? Isn't that enough? My great youth will be wasted here. In five years, I will be over eighteen years old, how can I marry someone else?! I think they clearly don't want to see me well!"
Shi Baoyan was now completely jealous of the mother and daughter in the first house. She really wished she could eat their flesh and blood!
Zhou Ruyu expressed that she was very satisfied with the effect of her Gonghuo. She also pretended to have a caring look on her face and said proactively: "Don't be discouraged. You can live in the temple for a while with peace of mind. When your father comes back, my aunt will go and help you." Fan, you can come back!"
Shi Baoyan was immediately overjoyed and said with great gratitude: "Third Aunt is really kind to me! I doubted you just now, which was really wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
"You silly boy, I am your biological aunt, what else can you forgive me for? You can go to the family temple to stay for a while, and when the time is up, I will personally pick you up!"
Zhou Ruyu coaxed Shi Baoyan back with a few words. Not only did he not blame Zhou Ruyu for causing her to be sent to the family temple, but she was also very proud of the other party's "care and love".
Little did Shi Qingxue know that she would be blamed again. She was now focused on Shi Baoning. Even after seeing what Shen Luo was capable of, she still felt scared when things came to pass.
What made her even more puzzled was that on the day when Shen Luo was seeing Shi Baoning, both the Crown Prince Mo Junyu and the Crown Prince Mo Junyu came to Shi's house to bring medicine to their cousin.
Mo Junyu became the crown prince, but the prince's faction had limited power in the previous dynasty. Now they come to the Shi family every now and then, which really makes people think too much.
Shi Qingxue didn't want the Shi family to start fighting early like in the previous life. Even if that person was the prince she liked, she didn't want to get too involved with him for the time being.
When Mo Junyu brought Mo Junyang to Shi's house for a visit for the third time, Shi Qingxue finally couldn't help but express vaguely: Shen Luo was enough to treat Shi Baoning, and there was no need for Mo Junyu to add any extraneous details. Bring attention to the Shi family.
Mo Junyu's face straightened up at this moment, and he said seriously: "Sister Xue's words are wrong. Although I don't doubt Mr. Shen's medical skills, this is a matter that requires surgery after all. How can Sister Ning, who comes from a girl's family, endure this?" Got that pain?”
Shi Qingxue didn't take it seriously, "Just use Ma Bo San!"
She just said it casually, not caring, and didn't notice her words at all. The eyes of the man standing behind her suddenly trembled, staring at her, as if he wanted to see into her through her skin. In the bones.
