The violent prince's wife as a small wife

Chapter 16, Chapter 16

The moment he opened his mouth, it was as if a switch had been pressed, and the servants didn't dare to move. Mrs. Chen explained nervously: "Your Highness is abrupt, she was not like this before, today... I don't know why she is like this. "

Shang Xingchuan stared at the silly girl who was restrained, and raised his chin slightly, "What's her name?"

Mrs. Chen said, "It's... called Xiaowei."

Jiang Ci was blocked by the hat, so she couldn't see Xiaowei's face clearly, but because of Shang Xingchuan's words, she looked at her quite seriously. She has a slender figure and fair skin, but Her hair is a bit messy, blocking part of her cheeks, but if she dresses up well, she is actually a pretty girl.

Shang Xingchuan frowned slightly, "Where did she come from?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Of course I bought it..."

"Huh?" Just one syllable, like saying something, but also like saying nothing.

Mrs. Chen's expression froze, and she immediately said: "Your Highness...it's not...we didn't mean to hide it from you, in fact, Xiaowei was...the daughter of a family of a judge in Shuntian Mansion, and later she and my son... After having something, it came to our house."

She stammered, probably there was something hidden in it, Shang Xingchuan's face darkened, and Mrs. Chen immediately said honestly, "Xiaowei and my son are together... , was later discovered by their family. Originally, we said that it was fine to raise my aunt, but it happened that she was pregnant at that time, and their family was so pedantic that they asked her to abort the child. In addition to this matter... In the end, it was a bit embarrassing. She came and went, and the child fell, and she went crazy."

Shang Xingchuan nodded, not sure if he believed it or not, Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to be dragged into this matter again, so she quickly asked someone to take Xiaowei down.

Xiao Wei didn't look like someone who could speak clearly. Jiang Ci went over to check, and found that the bedding was a little messy, and it didn't look like it had been tidied. She lifted the pillow, and there was nothing underneath. I touched it inch by inch, and finally felt something under the mattress.

Jiang Ci seemed to have a sense of it, and opened the quilt, and there was indeed something inside, a water-red purse with very fine stitches, and it should be embroidered with mandarin ducks, without any identification mark.

Mrs. Chen was obviously seeing this for the first time. She was taken aback for a moment, and Jiang Ci said, "Is this from those aunts?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, hesitated and said, "Maybe."

"Then tell them to come and recognize it."

There are really many concubines in Chen Rui, six or seven of them cried together, the people brought by Shang Xingchuan identified the purses for them one by one, and it turned out that none of them belonged to them.

One of the aunts boldly asked: "This thing...is it related to which girl? Maybe it's a girl the young master met outside."

"Yes, yes, the young master liked going to the Chunfeng Building a while ago, maybe it's the girl in the Chunfeng Building?"

Jiang Ci was surprised to find that these girls didn't seem to be too jealous about this matter. For them, it was a matter of course that Chen Rui liked to visit brothels, and they would no longer be angry because of this matter. .

She stared at the purse in her hand, looked at the stitches on it, and suddenly felt that she had seen this pattern before somewhere.

"Mrs. Chen, please avoid it for a while. We have something to ask... Auntie."

Mrs. Chen is also the mistress of a family after all, so it is impossible that she does not have this bit of vision, so she withdrew after saluting.

Chen Rui's group of aunts looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them shrank and dared not speak, and Jiang Ci couldn't remember their names, so he simply made up a little red, little blue, and little green for them in his heart.

"Which of you saw him yesterday?" she asked.

She knew that things in this kind of big mansion were generally a bit complicated, and it was impossible for Chen Rui to see each of them every day.

Sure enough, only one person stood up, and it was Xiaohong who Jiang Ci silently ranked in her heart.

Xiaohong said: "Yesterday... I saw it. We had lunch together."

lunch?

Jiang Ci's heart moved slightly, "Did he say anything during lunch? Or did she mention the recent things to you?"

Xiaohong shook her head, "The young master has been hiding something from us all along. We don't know much about it. It's just that some of our sisters secretly calculated it in private, and we all guessed whether he has taken a fancy to his new sister again."

The rest of the people nodded.

She bent the corners of her lips with some regret, "Actually speaking, it's not surprising... the young master is just like that. When he treats you well, he is very good. I wish I could give you all the good things in this world, but he This person doesn't have a long-term personality, and if the relationship is gone, it will be gone."

"Who was the first to enter the mansion?" Jiang Ci asked again.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Hong again. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's me. I was sold into the mansion by my family to be a maid. Later, the young master fell in love with me, so I lifted my aunt."

In fact, at the beginning, Xiaohong also thought that she was that special one, the young master was so gentle when he spoke, and he was so good-looking, but who knew that his love and gentleness were all time-limited, and so on. When it meets the next girl, it will forget itself without accident.

In fact, most of these aunts are like this. At the beginning, they always thought that they were the special one, but it was only after seeing the next one that they realized that in his heart, there would never be that most special person.

Fortunately, most of these girls are not from high family backgrounds, and they are usually supported by maids like Xiaohong.

To put it bluntly, they didn't have any tempers, and it was not so much love for Chen Rui as it was the natural awe that slaves have for their masters.

"However...he didn't mention it at all. He told me once before that we would have a young lady in our family soon. When we asked him, he refused to say, only that our woman's family would definitely Those who are sour and jealous will not give up."

young lady.

Every time Chen Rui brought a girl back, he didn't care about it, but this time it was really unusual.

"That girl's family background should be much higher than ours. He was very excited, saying that we are not as good as that girl, and that she has a gentle temperament, and she will definitely be filial and serve her mother-in-law well."

"Did he mention to you about doing business in Lichuan?"

Unsurprisingly, several people shook their heads.

Another girl said: "He never tells us in detail what happened on weekdays. He said that we don't understand anyway, and what he said is just for nothing."

"He used to leave home often?"

"Yes, yes, he will go out to play for a while after staying in the capital for a while, and when he gets tired of it, he will come back when he runs out of money."

"Who are his friends usually?"

The names mentioned by several people are the same as those mentioned by Mrs. Chen. It seems that Chen Rui has no new friends.
