Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 205 Some people are happy while others are angry (4)
No one could understand Xiao Xi's feelings, including his wife Sun Shi, who was running to see her husband, but she didn't want her father-in-law to speak, "Second daughter-in-law, eat tea before leaving!"

Mrs. Sun was worried, took the tea from Du Heng in a hurry and drank it all in one gulp, put a pouch and a pair of red gold-encrusted plum blossom hairpins on the tea tray, and hurriedly chased them out.

Seeing this, Prince Ning frowned again, and became even more dissatisfied with his second son and his wife.

The last thing is to serve tea to Xiao Ling. Because Xiao Ling is a younger sister, she can't sit still and wait for her sister-in-law to serve tea. Du Heng has something, but Du Heng has to give her a gift.

But Xiao Ling sat firmly on the chair, with his head held high, looking arrogant, Du Heng was not angry when he saw it, and just said lightly: "Sister eats tea."

Xiao Ling rested one hand on the armrest and only stretched out one hand to take the tea. When Prince Ning saw this, he yelled angrily: "Xiao Ling, stand up!"

Xiao Ling was startled, and jumped up instinctively, but she sat down quickly again, and only held her head up and said proudly: "I am the princess of the emperor's father, and I can't sit still and be respected by her." Tea."

Prince Ning turned pale with anger, rushed over and wanted to teach his daughter a lesson, but Du Heng stopped the father-in-law and said calmly: "Father, calm down, the princess is right, the daughter-in-law should serve tea to the princess."

Prince Ning frowned and said: "What princess, that's what she said outside, she dares to be at home! Xiao Ling, as long as you enjoy tea today, that's fine, otherwise..."

Xiao Ling was planning to make a big fuss, when he heard his father threatening him, he immediately burst into tears and said: "I hate you bad woman to death, you have lowered my father and mother, otherwise they won't do it anymore You made things difficult for me..." Saying that, Xiao Ling lowered his head and bumped into Du Heng.

Thanks to Prince Ning who arrived in time and grabbed his daughter, Du Heng was not knocked down by Xiao Ling.In fact, this is Xiao Ling's luck.Ever since I saw those two cups of poisonous Hebei wine last night, Du Heng knew that today's tea ceremony would not be smooth sailing, so she had already made preparations. If Xiao Ling bumped head-on, she would suffer no less than Xiao Xi. .

"Ling'er, if you mess around again, I'll send you to the palace to learn the rules!" Prince Ning shouted coldly, and immediately frightened Xiao Ling so much that he didn't dare to speak anymore.Nowadays, the princess's rules are very important, and the palace school is specially set up to educate the princess. If the princes and relatives want to send their daughters to the palace to learn the rules, they will not disagree now.

The rules of palace studies in the palace are extremely strict, and the princesses taught are all like a mold, and the princess is not allowed to have a trace of coquettishness. Xiao Ling has heard the princess who just entered the palace school complain to the sky, so she has long been interested in the palace school. Fear in his heart, if there is anything in this world that makes Xiao Ling afraid, it is Gong Xue.

The situation was stronger than others, Xiao Ling didn't dare to be unreasonable any more, he just stood in front of Du Heng angrily, and said in a blunt tone: "Thank you, Third Sister-in-Law, for giving me the tea."

Du Heng didn't know what Gong Xue was, and she didn't want to know, so she just handed over the tea with a calm expression, and then took a small box from the hand of the maid behind her and handed it to Xiao Ling, and said lightly: "I don't know if my sister likes it. What kind of jewellery, these few stones are not bad, my sister is free to wear them with belts or keep them for fun."

Xiao Ling curled her lips, and said in her heart: "What good things can you, a girl from the general's mansion, have that can pass through our palace." Thinking so in her heart, Xiao Ling opened the box in her hand. To give Du Heng an ugly look.

Xiao Ling didn't want to open the box, but Xiao Ling looked straight first.Xiao Ling loves red, likes to wear red clothes, and jewels inlaid with rubies.And that small box is full of rubies, at least a dozen or so, the smallest one is the size of a bean, the largest one is comparable to a pigeon egg, and all of them are top-quality pigeon blood rubies.

"This..." Even Xiao Ling, who had seen many rubies, was shocked and speechless when he saw so many top-quality pigeon blood rubies.Daliang does not produce rubies, all the rubies are tribute from outsiders or sold by Hu merchants across the ocean to Daliang. Just one ruby ​​the size of a bean will cost a middle-aged family ten years of income. This box of rubies It can be said to be sky-high.

Du Heng was secretly surprised when he saw these rubies.These rubies were not prepared by her, but Xiao Ze handed them over before going out in the morning, saying that they were prepared for her as a meeting gift for Xiao Ling.Du Heng accepted it without thinking too much.Originally, what she prepared for Xiao Ling was only a pair of armlets inlaid with seven-color gemstones.

"Third...sister-in-law three...this...is too precious..." After all, Xiao Ling is still a child, and she is not that thick-skinned. How could she have the nerve to accept such an expensive meeting gift immediately after giving Du Heng shame.You must know that before the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law entered the door that day, what she gave herself was only a red gold eight-treasure necklace and a ruby-encrusted phoenix hairpin, which is really incomparable to this box of top-quality pigeon blood rubies.

Seeing this box of top-quality rubies, Cheng Shi's face darkened, and she thought to herself, "What does Du Heng mean by this? It's a slap in the face, and you give such a heavy gift to any meeting, how can you call her such a princess?" place?"

Xiao Ze said appropriately from the side: "Ling'er, I'm just your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is of the same heart as me. Who will you not give good things to? The one in my mother's belly is designated as a kid, so I don't need these anymore. Come on!" Take it, wear a few more beautiful jewelry, how nice it is to dress up!"

"Three...Third brother!" Xiao Ling called out dryly, his face was burning hot, and he couldn't save face.

Because Du Heng agreed to Xiao Ze and wanted to cooperate with him in acting, he also smiled lightly and said: "Yes, sister Ling'er, take it quickly, my daughter's house will have to dress up well. If I have a good one in the future, I will pay you back." for you."

Xiao Ling became more and more embarrassed, her little face flushed red, and she murmured: "I...I...thank you third brother and third sister-in-law..." After finishing speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind holding the small box.The little girl was really ashamed to stay any longer.

Prince Ning never expected such a result, he was naturally very happy, and said with a happy smile: "Okay, that's right. Daughter-in-law Ze, you've done a good job."

The faces of the eldest son Xiao You and the eldest concubine Cheng's face turned blue and red, and they couldn't stay any longer, they quickly stood up and bowed their heads and said: "Father, the second brother doesn't know what's going on, my son went to have a look, and I'm leaving first." .”

Prince Ning glanced at his eldest son, with disappointment in his eyes, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go."
