Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Qingluan was awakened by the low sobs beside her ears. When she opened her eyes, her thoughts were still dazed for a moment, and then the things before she passed out flooded her mind one after another. Qingluan subconsciously She sat up from the bed, but with this movement, she realized that all the bones in her body were clamoring for pain, the pain that seemed to be dismantled and reassembled one by one, penetrated into the marrow of the bone.

"Hiss—" Qingluan gasped.

With a swish, the bed curtain was pulled open, and then Xia Zhi's surprised face came into view.

After they left, Liu Qianqian said angrily: "Who are these people, Luan'er, when you return to Beijing, you can go home and live, just ignore these people."

Seeing Qingluan's appearance, Concubine Xiao couldn't help curling her lips in her heart. This woman is calm. If it is another woman who is not ashamed and angry when facing this situation, then at least she is unwilling to see people. Look at her The expression on that face is really calm, but unfortunately she still doesn't understand the truth that rumors are fiercer than tigers, even if nothing happened, but the society's harsh treatment of women can kill her.

"She shouldn't be the only one." Xing Youyou added.

She is a lady who grew up with a formal education. She cares about everything those women care about. She also knows that rumors and public opinion can kill her, but this has already happened, and even if she cries, it will have no effect. On the contrary, it would only give people the feeling that she was crying so bitterly because she was treated ashamed to speak.

If it wasn't for Qingluan pressing Liu Qianqian's hand with one hand, she would have almost jumped up against the crime. Xing Youyou clapped her hands, then stood up suddenly and said, "Everyone says that Concubine Xiao of Prince Qin's Mansion is a kind and gentle woman." Man, looking at it now, you are really good, Concubine Xiao, I really admire you so much, I have to ask you for advice."

Mrs. Chen nodded. To be honest, she did not expect Wei Qingluan to behave like this before entering the door, but whether it was her strong temper or the calmness she pretended to be calm, it was useless anyway, no matter how much the old prince liked it. She will not gain the reputation of Prince Qin's Mansion because of her. If a woman with a ruined reputation is the mistress of Prince Qin's Mansion, wouldn't it make Prince Qin's Mansion a joke in Beijing.

Concubine Xiao's eyes flashed brightly, who else could do such a thing in the Daxiang Temple surrounded by a thousand feather forest guards, but this is also good, without her taking action to eliminate an opponent, the old prince It's no wonder that her head came up, the Jiang family has taken a fancy to the position of Prince Qin's concubine.

After a while, Concubine Xiao, Chen family, Chu family and Shangguan Jing filed in.

Compared to Liu Qianqian's anger, Qingluan's heart was very calm. She thought about it, and there were only two groups of people who could do it. One was from the Jiang family. Jiang Yao, who has other thoughts, of course, the Jiang family may also know and cooperate with her actions. After all, Jiang Yao covets Shangguan Jue, and the Jiang family covets the Prince Qin's mansion. If they pull her down from the position of Prince Qin's concubine, then Their purpose is achieved.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down again, Chen stood beside Concubine Xiao, watching the smile on her face fade little by little, becoming more cautious.

Concubine Xiao said: "What Mrs. Wei said is that all of us elders sympathize with Qingluan's experience. Jing'er, how can you ask such rude words? This is not throwing salt into your sister-in-law's heart." Hurry up and apologize."

*******************************************************************

Empress Jiang was still living in Daxiang Temple, so it was not appropriate for Wei Che to come here, so Liu Qianqian hurried over after hearing the news from the Hou Mansion.

Of course, another possibility is that the group of Concubine Xiao in front of me did it, but this possibility is far less than the possibility of the Jiang family. After all, it was arranged from the beginning of the fire to the fact that someone broke in and took her away. Yes, since Empress Jiang's safety is more important than anything else, the chances of Concubine Xiao and the others to successfully make such an arrangement are not high, but this does not prevent them from stepping on her.

She is still in Daxiang Temple now, and when she returns to Shangjing, she can imagine how ugly those words will be spread. Even though she knows that nothing happened this day and night, no one will believe her words. She looked like a woman who had lost her reputation.

"Hey!" Xia Zhi carefully helped Qingluan up, and put a blue pillow on the head of the bed.

"Get up, it's not your fault."

"Concubine Shizi, you're awake." Xia Zhi's voice was a little hoarse, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

"Xianfei Xiao's skills are indeed worth learning. She has trained her own son into a young talent, and her eldest son into the number one dude in Beijing. I think anyone with a bastard in the family can learn from it." Liu Qianqian smirked. He said something with a smile.

When Qingluan thought of Shangguanjue, she couldn't stop the pain in her heart. She thought she had finally found the happiness in this life, but was her happiness so short-lived?

Just as Shangguan Jing was about to speak, she was grabbed by the Chu family. The atmosphere was already tense enough. If it continued, the two families might fight. Now Wei Qingluan is the victim, and even if she knows something, she won’t know it. They should be allowed to speak out.

"What Concubine Xiao said is that it's not that I'm suffering. If I walk all day and night, my feet will be gone." Qingluan said.

"Mother, don't worry, I have already got the Geng Tie from Third Young Master Jiang." Speaking of this matter, Chen Shi had a smile on her face, the more she looked at Jiang Aojie, the happier she was now, this is really a good marriage.

Qingluan shook her head and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm already married, don't worry, I won't take those people's words to heart."

Concubine Xiao's weak face was full of distress, before she could speak, she shed tears, "What should I do? Poor child..."

"Okay, let's leave this matter alone, and let the old prince decide everything." Concubine Xiao was silent for a while before she said, "It's you, have you changed the Geng Tie with Mrs. Lu Guogong? This marriage should be decided as soon as possible come down."

"You slave are so courageous, you dare to stop us." A soft shout interrupted the tranquility in the room.

Xia Zhi saw Qingluan's spirit was sluggish, but when he woke up, he had to face all kinds of problems one after another, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Invite them in quickly." Qingluan said.

She is also at a loss as to how she should go in the future. Although the old prince treats her well, it is only when her reputation is not hindered. She is the eldest son of Prince Qin and the future mistress of Prince Qin's mansion. The future of Prince Qin's mansion How can the mistress of the house be a person with a bad reputation.

"Mother, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me first." When Jiang Aojie heard that his mother actually said that he had arranged a marriage for him, he couldn't calm down all of a sudden.

"Mother, who do you think will hate her so much and make her feel worse than death." Chen asked in a low voice.

Liu Qianqian was also surprised, and then she looked at Xing Youyou with a little more gratitude. The current Wei Wang Mansion has long since disappeared, but Xing Youyou is willing to tear up her face for Qingluan, side concubine Xiao and others. Kindly she wrote it down.

Xing Youyou's words made the whole room fall into a deathly silence. Concubine Xiao's face was blue and red, and Qingluan lowered her head to suppress the smile in her eyes. She could only say that Xing Youyou's straightforward temperament was indeed He is full of combat power, and for so many years, no one has ever said these words in front of Concubine Xiao, only a "bomb" was said, and this slap was really loud enough.

Qingluan closed her eyes, relieved the pain on her body, and then said to Xia Zhi: "Help me up."

Her feet were exposed, and thick medicine had been applied on them, but they were much swollen than usual, which looked shocking.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, Yoyo, thank you." Qingluan's pale face burst into a smile, but in Liu Qianqian's eyes, this smile made her feel even more sad. How could such a sensible girl have so many It's rough.

Qingluan didn't say anything, just watched Concubine Xiao show her kindness.

The excellent singing and acting performance is almost more realistic than the famous actors on the stage. This trick of shedding tears is also a classic sign of Concubine Xiao's successful establishment of weakness and kindness.

Jiang Aojie said: "Brother is brother, I am me, mother, I want to live in a few more years."

But to Chen's surprise, Concubine Xiao didn't get angry, but took Shangguanjing's hand and said, "Good boy, grandma knows what you're thinking, it's fine if outsiders don't understand, we don't have to be angry with them, okay Now, follow your sister-in-law back to the house, grandma still has something to say to your mother."

Of course she knew that Shangguan absolutely liked her, she had never doubted this, but she was not sure whether this love and liking could withstand the impact of rumors.As long as Qingluan thinks that Shangguan will definitely look at her suspiciously, she will feel so uncomfortable that she can't speak. She didn't cry when she was taken away, but when she walked for a day and night and almost ruined her own feet, she She didn't cry either, but at this moment her tears couldn't stop wet the pillow cover.

Speaking of pouring salt into the wound, Shangguanjing really had to study hard with Concubine Xiao, how could she be so straightforward, at least she had to express it with caring words.

Now, being sad and sad can't solve any problems at all. This is a conspiracy, and it can't be just such a simple kidnapping and release. Before they return to Beijing, there will be all kinds of rumors in Beijing At this time, whether you can carry it or not depends on your psychological quality.

Liu Qianqian frowned and said, "Is it Shangguanjing?"

Concubine Xiao's face changed, but Chen Shi rushed to say: "Mother, Qingluan is going to rest. We have seen it and expressed our feelings, so we should go."

Chen's feet were sore from standing, but she didn't dare to sit down immediately after receiving the order from Concubine Xiao, she just said: "Mother, don't worry about it, it will be her end when she returns to Shangjing, now I will introduce her to be mad one time."

Qingluan's refusal made Liu Qianqian sigh heavily. She also knows Qingluan's temperament. Once a decision is made, she usually won't change it. This silly girl is really distressing. It seems that she has to discuss it with her husband. Discuss how to better protect Qingluan.

Qingluan was really tired, sent the two of them away, Xia Zhi helped her to lie down again, the thick bed curtain covered the light outside, Qingluan's face showed a fragility.

Chen glanced at her daughter who was filled with righteous indignation, and couldn't help but patted her hand to comfort her. Out of the corner of her eye, she secretly glanced at Concubine Xiao. Based on her understanding of Concubine Xiao, she must be very angry at this time. But my own daughter keeps mentioning it again and again, isn't this annoying.

After a while, Concubine Xiao stopped her tears, glanced at Qingluan with her head down, and then at Liu Qianqian who was sitting next to her, and said, "Mrs. Wei, this fire is too serious. Suddenly, everyone was in chaos at that time, no one thought that the thief would take advantage of the time when everyone was putting out the fire, and when we found out, Qingluan was taken away by someone. One day and one night, my heart is like a knife Like a mow, the child suffers."

Qingluan knew that it must be the daylight that stopped those people outside, and only she had the force value to stop those people, but what should be faced should be faced, and hiding is not the way, Qingluan thought about it and then He raised his voice and said, "Daylight, let them in."

At this moment, the voices of Liu Qianqian and Xing Youyou came from the door, and Qingluan's eyes flashed with surprise, Xia Zhi quickly explained: "The slave girl went to ask Wei Wang Shifei for help, and she sent a message to Marquis of Weiyuan, Madam arrived an hour ago."

Mrs. Lu Guogong's face was calm: "Why are you in a hurry, I decided on the marriage of your two brothers. They didn't know it at the beginning, and they are not peaceful now."

She remembered that Jiang Aojie was the first one to find herself in the mountains and forests, and she met Bairi later. She was not sure who brought her back to Daxiang Temple in the end. It is even more difficult.

She knew that her brother was not such a person, nor was the old lady and her sister-in-law. They loved her and valued family affection more than the family's reputation, but she could not let her fault be borne by Weiyuanhou's mansion.

After a while, Concubine Xiao pointed to the seat beside her and said, "Sit down!"

"Qingluan, are you okay now? What's wrong?" Liu Qianqian put aside her worries and stepped forward.

Luan was noisy.Shangguanjing was appeased by Concubine Xiao, like a cat whose fur has been tamed, suddenly became obedient, obeyed Concubine Xiao's words and left with Chu.

When Concubine Xiao and the others returned to their yard, Shangguanjing couldn't help breaking free from Chu's hand, and said to Chen: "Mother, the princess of Wei Wang and the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan are going too far." , How can they say that about grandma."

After all, Qingluan was the eldest daughter of the Hou family who was pampered and raised since she was a child. When did she endure such suffering? When Liu Qianqian saw Qingluan, she couldn't stop crying, and the most serious injuries all over her body. It was on that pair of feet that there was almost no complete piece of skin on the soles of the feet, and the wounds from repeated training were all stuck together with the socks. It took Xia Zhi and Qiaoer an hour to remove the original color of the pair. His socks were taken off.

Although Shangguan Jing was single-minded, at this moment, she could hear that Xing Youyou and Liu Qianqian were mocking her grandmother, and an angry look flashed across her face. In her heart, her grandmother was sincerely kind to her elder brother, only elder brother Seeing that grandma's eyes are not eyes, her nose is not nose, she doesn't look good, but grandma is never angry, and she can give him good things as much as possible. What a dissatisfaction.

After saying that, the group left with a huff.

And Shangguan Jue, would he mind?

Reputation is more important than anything in a big family, they will not allow such a girl to shame their family, but if there is such a girl, they will deal with it secretly.

"Sister-in-law, why did the thief take you away?" Shangguan Jing asked with a smile.

Qingluan lowered her eyes slightly, and shook the hand hidden under the quilt with the inner one. Are you eager to see her joke so soon?

"She is not simple. I originally thought that she would lose her composure this time, but as you can see, there is no panic on her face. It is this calmness that the Chu family can't match. Concubine Xiao straightened her face, the sunlight through the window hit her face, making the fine lines at the corners of her eyes invisible, these years finally left traces on her face.

The two people looked at each other and smiled, and both saw a big reward.

After a while, Xing Youyou and Liu Qianqian walked in, both of them had smiles on their faces, but they still couldn't hide the worry in their eyes, especially Liu Qianqian, as a sister-in-law who treats her sister-in-law as her own sister and loves her most, What she wanted to see was Qingluan's troubles, but once this happened, she really didn't know how Qingluan would deal with it in the future. Even though Shangguan Jue liked Qingluan in his heart, he was facing all kinds of rumors. Whether he was on Qingluan's side or not in the end.

Liu Qianqian was so angry that she almost jumped up and gave Shangguan Jing a slap. An unmarried girl is so vicious, she is not afraid that she will not be able to get married, but her years of accomplishment prevent her from doing such disrespectful behavior, and her tone is a bit more Very strong: "Xiao Concubine, the doctor said that Luan'er was exhausted after walking for a day and night. You have also seen it. If it's nothing important, don't disturb her rest."

Concubine Xiao was interrupted by Chen's words, her senses returned, she ignored Xing Youyou and Liu Qianqian's sarcasm, she just stood up and said, "Take care of yourself, we won't disturb your rest."

Xing Youyou's words were very direct and realistic, Qingluan smiled and said: "What else can I do, the soldiers will come and cover up the water and the earth."

Xing Youyou said with a serious face, like a good student humbly asking for advice, Concubine Xiao didn't react for a while, but she heard Xing Youyou said: "I heard that Concubine Xiao treats the son of King Qin as his own grandson, so he can do whatever he wants. What are you giving, beautiful maidservant and dancer, Concubine Xiao sent a lot to Prince Qin's son, this kind of love is really rare, after all, I have never heard that Concubine Xiao gave her own grandson any kind and beautiful Maid, I have found quite a few martial masters who are good at riding and archery, but some of these martial masters are for Prince Qin's son, this is probably the difference between direct relatives and those who are not related by blood."

Qingluan shook her head, there is no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of years, even she herself did not think at the time that the fire was a conspiracy against her.

The expression on Liu Qianqian's face was slightly condensed, she was indeed a restless and kind old hag, before anyone else said anything, she started pouring dirty water on Qingluan.

They were talking about the marriage between Shangguanjing and Jiang Aojie, but they didn't know that Mrs. Lu Guogong had encountered a little setback.

Qingluan tilted her head softly, and motioned Xia Zhi to lift the bed curtain. Looking at the curtain, they should still be in Daxiang Temple. Qingluan recalled what happened in the past two days, and then asked: "How did I Came back? How long have you been unconscious?" 13acv.

Every word of Concubine Xiao's words shows her concern, but after careful consideration, the meaning revealed in those words is self-evident. One day and one night, a woman was kidnapped for one day and one night. Who can guarantee this day? What happened in one night, a day and a night that made people daydream.

Xing Youyou was not as emotional as Liu Qianqian, but sat down on a chair beside her and asked, "What are your plans?"

"It was the fault of the servants who brought the concubine back during the day. The empress and the others found out that the girl is not here." Xia Zhi said as she knelt down with a plop. She felt that she was so useless that she couldn't help at all. , but also to cause trouble for his own girl.

After all, Qingluan's body hasn't recovered yet, after waking up for a while, and having to deal with Concubine Xiao and her group, her energy is a bit low, Liu Qianqian and Xing Youyou told her to rest well after seeing this.

But everyone in this room knows her background. Xing Youyou is a straightforward person, and he couldn't understand this woman's tricks of shedding tears, especially this woman is an old woman in her 50s. If she cries again, then The powder on the face is about to fall off.

"Why, in a few years, you will be very old." Mrs. Lu Guogong gave Jiang Aojie a white look.What she is most proud of in her life is that she gave birth to four excellent children. Among these four children, her favorite is of course the dragon and phoenix twins who are regarded as auspicious omens. Later, her daughter entered the palace and became a queen. She gave all this love to her youngest son.

Among the three sons, the eldest is steady and able to afford Duke Lu's mansion, the second is humble and polite, but Jiang Aojie is the most rebellious, sometimes he doesn't even listen to his father's words. He was looking for a daughter-in-law, but he pushed them back with a few words, but this time she would not let him go. Although Shangguan Jing was not smart, she was good-looking, and her surname was Shangguan anyway. The identities also match.

Seeing that his mother seemed to be iron-hearted, Jiang Aojie frowned tightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Which family is the girl from?"
