Fair Lady

Xia Ruoxue collapsed dejectedly on the imperial concubine's couch next to her: "Ye Lingwei's father just recovered, and his elder brother has become the deputy general of the Yulin Army. I heard that the emperor intends to use him again."

Bai Lan said softly: "Madam, the old lady loves you very much, even if that woman enters the door, she will never pass you."

"It hurts?" Xia Ruoxue snorted, "Can it hurt more than her son?"

For more than ten years, she has been flattering and attentive, and sometimes even rushed to do the work of the big maid, such as washing up after getting up early in the morning, serving water and medicine when she was sick, and even once the old lady suffered from severe constipation. According to the doctor's instructions, I picked it out with my fingers.As a result, for half a month, she repeatedly washed her hands behind her back, crying while washing...

Even so, didn't the old lady still point out the house and lift up her aunt one after another to Sima Yunting, the husband and the second master of the Duke's mansion.

Oh, and only at this time, the old lady would praise her for her virtuousness and generosity without hesitation, and treat her as affectionately as her own mother and daughter.She knew that the old lady deliberately told the other sisters-in-law, especially Mrs. Shizi.

Mrs. Shizi was the Duke and Shizi of the country who fell in love with him back then. He asked to marry her many times before she got her wish. She also swore the oath of "you can only take a concubine if you have no children at [-]".However, Mrs. Shizi became pregnant within three months after entering the house. She gave birth to two sons in two consecutive three years, and gave birth to a daughter a few years later.

Mrs. Shizi's natal family is strong, her dowry is rich, she has both children, and she is backed by the well-known oath of the past. No matter how "distressed" the old lady is for Shizi, no matter how much she wants to put a few beautiful concubines into their yard, there is nothing she can do.He can only be annoyed at the jealousy and narrow-mindedness of Mrs. Shizi, and from time to time, she will push Xia Ruoxue, an obedient and sensible "filial daughter-in-law", to stab Mrs. Shizi.

so many years.On the surface, she, the second wife, has the support of the old lady in the mansion, and she lives a very happy life, and has the reputation of the so-called "Mother of Greatness", but in fact, only she knows how much bitterness she feels in her heart.For example, the old lady's natal nephew last time, she failed to fulfill the old lady's request, so she was really treated coldly by the old lady for a while, and Sima Yunting added another concubine.

Fortunately, he has a son and a daughter, and he is very good at Sima Yunting.Although there are many aunts in the backyard and maidservants in the common room, her position in the second room is quite solid.

But this time is different, this time what Sima Yunting wants to accept is not a maid, not a girl from a poor family, but Ye Lingwei, a decent third-rank official lady.

Ye Lingwei is 23 this year, a real old lady.But she has a good reputation as a "filial daughter".Ye Lingwei's father, Ye Shilang, was framed and imprisoned more than six years ago. Ye Lingwei, who had just turned sixteen and was about to get married, was dismissed.The two brothers and sisters not only shouldered the burden of supporting the family, but also tried their best to find clues to appeal for their father's injustice.Half a year ago, with the help of one of Master Ye's former students, the old case was actually overturned, and Master Ye was taken out of the prison.

Three days ago.Ye Lingwei went to Famen Temple to offer incense for her father, but accidentally stepped on an empty foot.Sima Yunting and several friends happened to pass by and rushed up to grab Miss Ye, but ended up rolling down the hillside together.The uphill was not high, it was still a grassy slope, neither of them were injured, but Miss Ye was an unmarried woman after all, she was rolled so far in Sima Yunting's arms in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.Naturally, she had no choice but to marry Sima Yunting.

Although Ye Lingwei is a bit older.But she is still a girl in the boudoir, a serious official daughter.In order to compensate Ye Shilang, the emperor rewarded Ye Lingwei with a generous dowry in the name of "great filial piety", and recruited Ye Lingwei's eldest brother into the Yulin Army.

Naturally, the Duke's Mansion and Sima Yunting would not refuse such a marriage, not to mention Sima Yunting has been thinking about Ye Lingwei's beautiful face and soft body with bumps since he came back that day.

Xia Ruoxue was feeling angry when another maid, Bai Yu, hurried in, "Ma'am, it's not good, it's not good, Ma'am."

Qing's mother said: "What's the point of yelling? What's wrong, stand up and answer."

Bai Yu stood still, and hurriedly replied: "The Duke and the Second Master are back... The Ye family does not accept noble concubines... They must be ordinary wives... Otherwise, I would rather let Miss Ye twist her hair and become a sister-in-law. Second Master... The second master agreed, and he also said that he would marry Miss Ye in a good manner."

"Crack..." Xia Ruoxue slapped her cheeks, and the lower lip was bitten by herself, bleeding out.

Mother Qing also felt wronged for her master, but they couldn't do anything.What happened to Ye Lingwei was an accident, no one would condemn her.But when Ye Lingwei came in, the life of the wife would be difficult.

Compared with his wife, Ye Lingwei is young and beautiful, has a good reputation, a generous dowry (rewarded by the emperor), and when her natal father and brother are proud, the Duke's Mansion and the Second Master must favor her.Once Ye Lingwei gave birth to a son, he would also be a legitimate son!

Xia Ruoxue hates it, if her natal family is still in the Yongping Hou Mansion, how dare the Sima family and the Ye family bully her mother like this?

If, if her plan succeeds, she is now Shujie's three "direct aunts", Shujie can use that sign to ask the queen mother, even if she has to let Ye Lingwei in, Ye Lingwei must do it obediently A concubine?

She hated her mother and brothers for being stupid, they couldn't do such a thing well, she had planned everything, but they somehow showed their feet.She is even more ruthless about the three "white-eyed wolves" who are not familiar with them. In the past two or three years, she has sent people to give them New Year gifts every year, and tried her best to establish a good relationship with them, but those three little sluts are still not familiar with them. The words that Qing's mother relayed when she came back made her really wish to strangle the three brothers and sisters to death with her own hands.She really couldn't figure it out, but they were just three children, how could it be so difficult?

However, now that they know about that, they must be more guarded against her, and it will be more difficult to use tricks.

And this is in the capital city, and Jin Xida still lives with them, and there is the Marquis of Weiyuan...

Xia Ruoxue closed her eyes and pressed her temples. She just wanted to take advantage of her three nephews and nieces, and she didn't do anything harmful. Why wouldn't God help her?She donates a large amount of sesame oil money every year, and has always actively participated in such things as freeing animals and giving porridge. Gods and Buddhas should bless her!

Even if the gods and Buddhas do not bless her, she, Xia Ruoxue, will not be defeated, no one can crush her.She can do whatever she wants to do.

There was a drumming sound outside the window, it was midnight...

Opening her eyes again, Xia Ruoxue regained her usual calmness and grace: "Baiyu asked someone to come in to clean up, and Bailan prepared hot water for me to wash up. I'm going to bed. What about marrying a flat wife? It's such an important matter, I have to Been busy for a while."

Bai Yu and Bai Lan went down in response, with unconcealable surprise in their eyes.Mother Qing was startled for a moment before she woke up. Her wife has always been strong.In the past ten years, she has experienced so many things, and she has always been firmly seated as the second wife.Qing's mother admired her wife from the bottom of her heart. She had strategies, methods, and methods, and she was ruthless and decisive. If the wife was a man, she would definitely be able to revive the Xia family.You don't have to live so aggrieved.

Happy or unhappy, a good night's sleep or tossing and turning, the sun always rises above the horizon, and a new day begins.As long as people are alive, life goes on, and some people continue to struggle.Continue to hate, continue to calculate; some people continue to work hard.Continue to love, continue to let yourself and the people you love live a happy life...

The Shujie brothers always wake up naturally at a fixed time, and doing exercises is their established way of ushering in a new day.Shuyao also played and chased Xiaoguai and Huohuo in the big garden. The woman who took care of the garden and the maids and servants who passed by were dumbfounded. They could only see three lights of light purple, white and red. It disappeared in a blink of an eye.Those two are just spirit beasts, so the girl has also become a fairy?

Mother Liu looked dignified: "Everyone does their own thing. Why are you in a daze here? The girl is practicing lightness kung fu, and you will get used to it after watching too much. But this house does not tolerate talkative people. My young master If anyone gossips about the girl, I won't ask or say a word, and I'll just sell her to the most despicable place."

A few people hurriedly responded, lowered their heads and went to their respective jobs. They were just surprised. Now they knew that the girl was practicing, so it was not surprising. However, they still felt that the young girl in their family was so good at lightness kung fu. Like flying.

The pre-bought people in the mansion are also carefully selected by Jin Xida to be honest and responsible. Most of them are used roughly, and there is no requirement for ability. Loyalty and reliability are the first. Others wait for Liu Mama to come to buy.

After the three of Shujie finished practicing, they washed and bathed and went to the main courtyard to greet Jin Xida, and had breakfast with the adoptive father who had just come out of the study.

When Shujie and the others were in Yulin, they knew that although Jin Xida had no official position, he was very busy, and he was not as lazy, comfortable and playing around as he showed.Shujie once saw a man in black flying into the study room they had prepared for Jin Xida in the middle of the night. When they got up early to practice, they would probably find that Jin Xida's study room was lit.

But the three brothers and sisters are all smart, and they never ask a single word. What Shujie explained to Shuwen was that since Uncle Jin is someone trusted by the emperor, there is no reason for him to be idle.

Shuyao thought that Jin Xida would leave the capital for a "travel" soon, and the return date was undecided. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and she tried to persuade him to take a fruit of washing marrow. The stronger the martial arts, the stronger the internal energy, the safer it is, right? "Father, what Yao'er has learned is light work and flying needles, not fighting kung fu. In fact, the marrow washing fruit is not very useful to me. Father, you should use one. Besides, Yao'er is always There isn't much danger at home."

Shujie also nodded: "Yes, foster father, Yao'er is right, you should take it. This way we can rest assured when you go out." Shuyao doesn't need too much internal strength, and the aura of the treasure chest is enough for her Practice internal strength.

Knowing that the three children are sincerely filial, Jin Xida felt indescribably at ease: "Even if Yao'er doesn't need it, I'll keep it for now. I've suffered internal injuries before, and a big increase in internal energy isn't necessarily good for me, so don't waste it. Don't worry. , foster father will be very careful, and there are hidden guards around me, so you don't have to worry."

Shuwen's eyes were burning: "Father, Wen'er will go with you, I will protect Father."

Jin Xida laughed and said, "The adoptive father didn't really go out to play, how could he take you with him? You have to study hard and practice hard, so that you can be as good as your elder brother in the future. Now Jie'er is going to take a scientific test, and Yao'er is a girl again. During the time when foster father left the capital, he entrusted you with the task of taking care of Jieer and Yaoer, you must not let foster father down."

"Promise to complete the task," Shuwen responded playfully, "but foster father must come back quickly."

Jin Xida patted Shuwen's head: "Father will miss you very much when he goes out, and he will come back safely soon. Eat quickly, we have to go to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion today." (To be continued.
