Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 184

Seeing her second uncle acting like such a scoundrel, Miao Xian's anger rose in her heart and she quickly asked Baicha and Sakda: "My eldest daughter, my second aunt, regarding your mother's affairs, is it for me or for you?" Come and tell me?"

"You should rest for a while, and our sisters-in-law can talk about it." Baicha said helplessly.You have to say it sooner or later. It's better to say it yourself, so that you can appear innocent.

Sakda also nodded.

So the sisters-in-law Baicha and Sakda knelt on the ground. First, Baicha said: "My aunt is not clear about some things at a young age. My daughter-in-law and my younger siblings are also clear about it. The three younger siblings who were the first to go back then said When he passed away, my wife ordered my empress to keep vigil in front of her spiritual throne."

"What's wrong with keeping a wake for one's own mother? This should be deserved." Gualja Zhuoning interjected unconvinced.

"Second Master." "Second Brother." Guarjia Zhuohang and Sakda said in unison.

When Gualjia Zhuoning saw that his brother and his wife were jointly restraining him, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, it's not enough if I don't speak."

Seeing that everyone had shut their mouths, Baicha continued: "It is necessary to keep a vigil, but my wife said. To respect filial piety, no one is allowed to accompany you, and you are only allowed to drink a bowl of white porridge every day. At that time, the empress was just a A two-year-old boy, directing the child to walk."

Upon hearing this, Gualja Zhuoning blushed slightly.What exactly do you want to do?The empress is also her direct granddaughter.

"After finally waiting for the funerals of the first three siblings to be completed, the wife ordered that the empress can use one more steamed bun every day. She said that she was still in the period of mourning and could not eat meat." Baicha said speechlessly.

Gualja Abagu angrily threw the tea cup on the desk to the ground and cursed angrily: "What on earth does that poisonous woman think? Your Majesty is her direct granddaughter. You don't stop her?"

Baicha raised her head and looked at the disappointed eyes of her father-in-law, husband, son, and brother-in-law, and said helplessly: "Master, my daughter-in-law and others also want to stop me, but it's just the wife who is the master of the house. The daughter-in-law wants to take care of it, but the wife says she will take away the daughter-in-law's children." How can my daughter-in-law be willing to hold her under her knees and raise her?"

"Yes, my wife said that she should also keep her daughter-in-law's children under her knees. There is a mother in the world who wants her children to stay away from her." Sakda also cried.

Guarjia Zhuohang asked the Baicha clan: "You can tell me."

"Uncle, I told you that my wife wanted to take the child away. What did you say? It is only natural that the grandson should be raised under Ma Ma's knees. My wife can abuse a two-year-old granddaughter, but I cannot. I can guarantee that my wife will not abuse my child." The more Baicha talked, the more aggrieved she became.

Gualjia Zhuohang listened to his wife's argument and was unable to refute.If it had been then, I might have taken the initiative to hold the child under E Niang's lap.

"Go on and tell everything you know." Gualja Abagu spoke.

"Later the third brother and sister were about to marry into the palace, so the wife gave an order to let the empress live in a servant's room, with only a wet nurse to serve her." Baicha said.

"Is that the wet nurse who was taken into the palace by the empress?" Gualja Abagu asked.

Baicha could only reply: "Yes. It's her."

Gualja Abagu murmured: "No wonder, no wonder."

"Later, after the third brother and sister came into the house, they said that the empress would offend her because she was wearing maternal filial piety. The wife asked the empress to enter the small Buddhist hall in the wife's courtyard. She went to the temple before Mao hour every day and chanted sutras and counted Buddha beans until the seventh hour of Hai hour. Decades have been like a moment, without interruption." Baicha carefully recounted the days that Wanxian had experienced. "What are E Niang and my cousin doing? That's E Niang's granddaughter. Where's the third brother? That's her daughter." Gualja Zhuoning couldn't restrain the anger in her heart and shouted.He originally thought that the empress had just suffered some minor and ordinary grievances.But I never thought that my mother-in-law and cousin could be so cruel and make a child kneel in front of the Buddha and chant sutras for eight hours every day.Even nuns have time to rest, and besides, the empress was still a child.Gualja Zhuoning felt heartbroken at the thought of having her daughter kneel for an hour.

"Second brother, shut up and continue talking." Gualja Abagu ordered.But the handles on the Grand Master's chair were pinched by Gualja Abagu so hard that they were almost leaving marks, which shows how angry Gualja Abagu was.He had no idea that his wife, who had been sleeping with him for decades, could be so cruel.

Baicha knew that if he told everything that happened later, the man would be very angry.But she didn't dare not say it, after all, the old man was watching from above.The concubines nearby would also go into the palace to pay their respects to the empress.So Baicha knelt on the ground and continued tremblingly: "Later, as the empress grew older, she also knew that she was not welcome, so she usually did not go out of the Buddhist hall or her own room at will. It's just that if the three younger brothers and sisters are unhappy, If they do, they will find opportunities to teach the queen a lesson. Punishing her to kneel down and copying scriptures are also common. Also, the loyal wet nurse next to the queen will sometimes be beaten until she cannot stand up."

Miao Xian couldn't help but cry. Although she was a concubine, she still had an Ama who cared about her.Only Wanxian has no relatives, no friends, no one to rely on. "Your Majesty, please go on and tell me all your grievances." Miao Xian cried miserably.

Baicha also knew that her father-in-law and husband were disgusted by her disregard for her mother-in-law over the years.But it’s not easy for me either.

"If your mother-in-law doesn't tell you, then your second aunt will." Miao Xian looked at Sakda who had been kneeling with Baicha.

Sakda lowered his head in shame and did not dare to speak.

When Miao Xian saw this, she said: "Since you don't tell me, let me tell you. My wife's life is hard, why is it so hard? For more than ten years, I can count on my fingers the days when my mother has been exposed to meat and fish. She has worn the best clothes for more than ten years. The clothes were worn on the day of the draft. In the past, the empress had no chance to go out, and the clothes she wore were worse than those of ordinary servants. Only when she went to Jili Mansion to be a guest, she had extremely ill-fitting clothes. When she came back from being a guest, , I have to take it off and put it on next time. My dearest lady." The more Miao Xian spoke, the more bitter she felt. She could no longer speak and began to cry bitterly.

"These things, why doesn't anyone tell us these things?" Gualja Zhuohang said incoherently.

Gualja Zhuoning also lowered his head while listening, and finally squatted on the ground, with tears in the corners of his eyes.He really didn't know that his niece was living such a miserable life.

"How dare I say this for the sake of my own child? As for the servants, my wife Shi and my third brother and sister are the housekeepers at home. Who dares to say it without risking his life." Baicha said in fear.

"Where is this? What else? Do you still want me to continue talking?" Miao Xian asked.

Gualja Abagu opened his closed eyes in an instant to prevent tears from falling and ordered sternly: "Speak, little girl, please continue. Tell me everything you know."

"In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the empress even had a nice cotton-padded jacket on her body, but she had to squat in the ice and snow to find earrings for Third Aunt. In the summer, she was slandered by Third Aunt and broke Third Uncle's antiques from the previous dynasty, and was forced to kneel in front of the courtyard gate. The sun was the strongest at noon and she was hit by the heat. She was just a little short of dying. Her nurse begged here and there, but in the end she had no way to come to me. I didn’t dare to say anything, so I secretly asked a doctor. . The doctor said that there was only a moment before the empress was gone. Later I found out that it was because the third aunt hated the empress for stealing her daughter’s identity as the eldest daughter, and she was not allowed to show her face at the third uncle’s birthday banquet. What a joke, what is the empress? Then I can attend the banquet." Miao Xian cried and told her the difficult things about her mother.

Guarjia Zhuohang couldn't hold himself up and fell down on the stool. He shook his head and said: "The third sister-in-law hates the mother-in-law. Is it understandable? But what about E Niang and the third brother? One of them is the grandmother and the other It’s my biological father.”

"There is one more important thing, don't you know? That fool in the Jili family who always whips and beats the maid? Ma Ma and the third aunt have made a good idea. If the empress is abandoned, she will be sent away. Go to Jili's house and be that fool's wife. Fortunately, God has eyes and allowed the empress to leave a sign and enter the palace." Miao Xian was shocked when she remembered the news.

After hearing the more violent news, everyone present fell silent.

"Their hearts are too cruel, too cruel." Gualja Zhuoning was also shocked by the news and became weak.

Miao Xian continued: "It is an honor for the family that the queen is able to enter the palace. But I sent the queen away with only 500 taels of silver. Do you think the queen can not hate her?"

"500 taels, that's impossible? When your Majesty entered the palace, I specifically asked her to bring more silver. I specifically asked her to bring 1 taels of silver." Gualja Abagu said in disbelief.Later, Gualja Abagu also recovered. It must have been the poisonous women again.No wonder, no wonder she didn't go when I asked her to go to the palace to say goodbye.It seems that she deliberately broke her leg to avoid entering the palace.
