Dong Gong Mei

A stream of tears rolled down her face, and she hid her face and cried bitterly: "I am a widow. I have lost my reputation by following you, and I can't go back to my parents' family. Now I am in jail with you. If...if the case is finalized, I... …If I don’t think about myself, I have to think about my children!”

"What do you mean?" Mr. Zhao was stunned. "What are you going to do after the case is settled?" He suddenly understood, "You..."

He bit his lip tightly and said bitterly: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect you... I abandoned my wife and daughter for you, and I was ridiculed by the world for you..."

After saying that, his eyes turned red: "...I misjudged you!"

"Zhao Zixiu! You..." Little Pei didn't expect him to say such words, and her shoulders were shaking with tears: "...How could I let you see it wrong? How could I be sorry for you? It was you who said you wanted to marry me in the first place. , you promised me, but when the wedding comes, you can't even come up with a betrothal gift. The whole city of Chang'an is full of rumors, and I haven't even complained at all! I... I just want to give it to the child now! He left a way out, what was wrong with me?”

She cried loudly: "I misjudged you!"

The old lady pressed her temples.

Her ears were buzzing, and the looks in the cell not far away were like knives slapping her face.

She knew that the people imprisoned here were all prominent figures in the court, and maybe some of them were Zhao Ziyi's colleagues.

The Zhao family can be considered a scholarly family and a noble family!

No matter how difficult it is, I have never been so embarrassed!

What the old lady cares about most in her life is the Zhao family's face. She didn't care that little Pei was pregnant, so she held little Pei's hand: "Stop crying now, I will scold him for you." After that, He shouted coldly: "Second brother!"

Mr. Zhao was stunned and turned around. All he was thinking about was that Mr. Pei was actually thinking of making other plans. Wasn't that just preparing to remarry?

How many months have they been married? He is now a sinner, and the stepwife he wants to marry is planning to marry again?

If this joke spreads again, how can the Zhao family gain a foothold?

The old lady scolded him a few times, but he didn't hear it, but he heard some taunting.

Not far away, the prisoners watching the excitement shook their heads and sighed: "It's so embarrassing!"

"It's not the first time. Didn't you have such an ugly fight with Shen Yuqing more than ten years ago?"

"Haha, isn't it? You just bully no one in the Shen family..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Prime Minister's Palace is so shameless."

The old lady's face suddenly became gloomy.

And the little Pei next to her was still crying: "...with so many people in your Zhao family, can't you even get five hundred taels together? Even if you can't get it together, we should all work together to find a way to keep a pregnant woman like me. People are nothing... No wonder, no wonder everyone says that your Zhao family always bullies your daughter-in-law! "

The old lady was angry. When she heard this, she felt that all the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head. Wasn't this a public scolding for being old and disrespectful?

She had been running the Zhao family for decades, when had she ever been humiliated like this?

He immediately frowned and ordered: "Second brother! Why are you still standing there!?"

Mr. Zhao woke up with a start: "Mother?"

The old lady only felt that her breath was blocked. She pressed her heart, suppressed the discomfort, and ordered in a cold voice: "Your eldest brother's news is unknown, Sister Wei is seriously ill, and Mrs. Pei is about to give birth. This cannot be delayed! "After finishing speaking, he looked at Mr. Pei and said in a serious tone: "Xianglan, I know your Jin Ruyi is valuable, but the overall situation is more important. If you use money to spend some money now, maybe things will turn around, but if you just drag it on like this, , even if we are redressed, it will be too late!”

With tears in her eyes, little Mrs. Pei looked at her mother-in-law in front of her, her hands numbly touching her chest. Wearing a Ruyi golden lock close to her body is her only escape route...

But now, her mother-in-law said that she should dedicate this golden lock to the overall situation...

This is her hope for the rest of her life... her and her child's hope for the rest of their lives.

She knew that the case was caused by the death of her sister Pei Cairen, so even if the case was finally settled, as the daughter of the Pei family, she would be ignored.

But now, if her mother-in-law wants her to hand over the golden lock, won't it cut off her future?

She caressed her heart numbly, feeling extremely miserable: "...but this is the only thing I can give my child..."

"The overall situation is the most important thing!" The old lady couldn't help but become a little anxious, "As long as you can survive, you will still be the respectable wife of our Zhao family, and your child will also be the upright son of our Zhao family! Mrs. Pei, you have to know which one is more important. What's more important!"

Little Mrs. Pei started to cry again. She had planned hard and got here step by step. She thought that there would be a good life of love between husband and wife, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to this point.

She sobbed and asked her husband: "Second Master, you think so too, don't you?"

Mr. Zhao was heartbroken and chilled: "Xianglan, of course I want you to be well and my children to be well, but we have to find a way to manage our relationship. If we can't manage our relationship, we can only wait here to die."

He stretched out his hand like little Pei, "Alan, please give me the golden lock. As long as we can send a message outside, we will be able to get out soon. We will definitely be able to get out!"

"But you are suspected of murdering the empress!" Little Pei became excited and held her chest tightly. "I heard it all. Not only did Sister Wei poison and kill Empress Pei, but your elder brother was also suspected of murdering the queen! You can't get out! But I’m going out!”

"Xianglan!" Mr. Zhao's heart suddenly suffocated. He grabbed her hand tightly. "We will go out. We will all go out. Give me the golden lock..."

Little Mrs. Pei cried so hard that her heart broke: "Second Master, please let me go. If I were just one person, I would be with you life and death. But now that I have a child, I can't be so selfish!" He relaxed his grip and suddenly felt that With a chill on his neck, the golden lock was snatched away by Mr. Zhao.

Little Mrs. Pei hurriedly hugged his hand: "Second Master, can I beg you? If I go out and don't get married, I will keep the child and raise him by myself. I will never let you down in the next life." I am still your wife..."

Her face was wet with tears, and she stared at Mr. Zhao's palm, where the red gold Ruyi locks were clear and bright, and the light was discernible.

That was the only support she and her children had.

But Zhao Zixiu grabbed her shoulder, extended a hand to the side, and resolutely handed her support to the old lady's hand.

Tears burst out from her eyes, blurring her vision. The room was dark, and she could vaguely see the old lady handing the golden lock to Mr. Zhao again.

"Go and make arrangements with the jailer and ask him to reply as soon as possible... No, it's best to go to Sister Wei's place!" (End of Chapter)
