The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 20

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.

Rao, the woman in front of her once pointed her nose at him and called him 'useless', which made him almost deny himself;
Rao is that the woman in front of her frequently ran back to her mother's house and complained, which attracted reprimands from the eldest princess and the Xiao family, causing him to be taught a lesson by the two elders;

Rao, it was the woman in front of him who sold the maid who grew up with him and abused his concubine, causing him to gain the notoriety of 'inner fear';

Rao is...

But at this moment, Cui Youbo looked at Xiao Nan who was weak and weeping bitterly, a tinge of pity rose from the bottom of his disgusted heart.Meeting her dependent eyes, he actually had the urge to hug her and comfort her.

Cui Youbo did indeed do this, first he held Xiao Nan's little hand holding his sleeve, sat sideways on the couch, and carefully helped her to lie down, although it was a bit unnatural, he still said softly: "... You, you don't have to worry, Ah Weng will be fine, the sage is an ancient wise king, and there are, there are..."

Cui Youbo originally wanted to say that there is still the Eldest Princess, but when he thought about the last time he was reprimanded by the mother-in-law sent by the Eldest Princess for the matter of Hibiscus, and now he mentioned his mother-in-law, he felt somewhat dissatisfied. comfortable.

"What else?" Xiao Nan didn't lie back on the jade pillow, but dragged a hidden pouch behind him, propped himself up halfway, and wiped off the water stains on his face. She blinked her red and swollen eyes, and asked road.

Although Cui Youbo is a bit of a dandy and has no serious errands, it does not mean that he has no political acumen.After all, his grandfather was an old minister who became an official, his father was the Minister of Zhongshu and one of the five ministers, and his elder brothers were all officials in the court. They are absolute officials. It will also mention some things in the court.

He has been exposed to it since he was a child, coupled with Cui Youbo's intelligence, it really allowed him to develop a keen intuition on current affairs.

Xiao Gong's matter did not just come out today, there were omens before.

Cui Youbo also discussed this matter with his grandfather and father.

The grandfather admired Xiao Gong's honesty and freedom most, and said that he was worthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family in Lanling, two generations of royal families and the accumulation of hundreds of years of aristocratic family, he was a true nobleman.This is also the reason why my grandfather was willing to marry the Xiao family - the Cui family is a big family. When I wrote the "Clan Chronicle" a few years ago, if the Holy Majesty did not use the imperial power to force the surnames of the royal family and the descendants to rank first , Second, then their Cui family will be the most noble surname in the world.

But even so, in the eyes of the world, their Cui family is still a noble family.

Not to mention, their family has been officials for generations, and their descendants are prosperous. In such a family, the daughter of a princess alone is not enough to attract grandfather and great-aunt.

Just like what the servants talked about in private, with the Cui family's background and family status, marrying a princess is not a problem.But the princesses of the Tang Dynasty... not only the Cui family, but also some upstarts are not willing to marry back.

Besides, their Cui family is not one of those down-and-out families, whose family property is withered and their livelihood is nowhere, so they can only rely on 'marriage selling' to survive.

Marrying Xiao Nan is only because of her surname 'Xiao', only because of her noble lineage of several generations of royal family, and has absolutely nothing to do with the county lord!

As for Xiao Nan Aunt's 'collaboration with the enemy' this time, my grandfather also came to a conclusion——Xiao Gong is loyal, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and there are frequent fall and fall, and there is no danger.

Cui Youbo thinks so.

Xiao Gong is no different than other clans. Although he has gone through two dynasties, he is absolutely loyal to the present. When the saint hid in his residence, he was suspected by the Supreme Emperor, so it was Xiao Gong who spoke out for the saint.

In addition, Duke Xiao's identity is transcendent, apart from his in-law relationship with the royal families of the two dynasties, even many honorable families in the current dynasty are also related to the Xiao family, and the emperor even kindly called him 'Xiao Lang' , its closeness is self-evident.

How can such a person be defeated by a crime of catching wind and shadow? !
Of course, even if something really happened to the Xiao family, he was the son-in-law of the Xiao family, so he couldn't stand by and watch.His discord with Xiao Nan and his wife is one thing, but the relationship between the two clans is another. After all, the marriage between clans is not just a matter of a man and a woman, but of two people. The interests and power connections between big families.

If something really happened to the Xiao family and his Cui family stood by and watched, who would dare to marry the Cui family in the future? !
Thinking of this, Uncle Cui continued what he said just now, and said softly: "There is me and the Cui family. Qiao Mu, you and I are husband and wife, and your old man is also my old man. Incumbent."

Xiao Nan's heart moved slightly, she looked straight at Cui Youbo, trying to find something in his eyes.

Seeing this, Cui Youbo subconsciously straightened his waist, his eyes were clear and resolute, and he looked at Xiao Nan without flinching.

After a long time, Xiao Nan showed an expression that seemed to be crying but not crying, half smiling and not smiling, his bloodless lips moved, "Balang, you, are you willing to call me Xiaozi again?!"

Xiao Nan's sigh that had nothing to do with the previous words stunned Cui Youbo, and then he saw complex emotions written on Xiao Nan's pale and thin face: it seemed to be sad, excited, and joyful...

Seeing Cui Youbo's heart move, he involuntarily raised his hand, stroked Xiao Nan's cheek lightly, and said, "...Qiao Mu...you...I..."

Xiao Nan closed her eyes lightly, and slowly rubbed her cheeks against Cui Youbo's palm. Suddenly, two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and the cool liquid flowed over her warm palm, as if washing away all the past... Husband and wife The two are relatively silent, and everything is silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise, which broke the rare warmth and tranquility.

Xiao Nan was taken aback, quickly withdrew his body, and lay back on the couch.

"What's going on?" Without that kind of tacit communication, Cui Youbo was displeased, and secretly thought, these servants are too unruly, they dare to make noise with the old lady.

"Back to Mr. Balang, the county lord, yes, it's the hibiscus," Qin's mother ran in angrily, bowed in her lap, and said, "She has been kneeling at the door, kowtowing non-stop, saying what the county lord forgives, and begging the county lord to redeem her sins." What kind of words. The slave asked her to go back to rest, but she didn't listen at all, and now she started to make noise again, insisting on seeing the county magistrate with her own eyes, and apologizing to you."

"What?" Xiao Nan glanced at Uncle Cui and saw that there was no reaction on his face. He knew that Uncle Cui had heard what she told Yuzhu, and he was already dissatisfied with Mujin at this moment, but she still needed to add more. Huo, so that Cui Youbo could connect this matter with some past events, and believed that as long as he used his brain a little, he would be able to discover the true face of the docile little maid in his mind.

"I told Yuzhu to let her go back a long time ago, and said there was nothing wrong, so I just stayed in her room to raise the baby...... Didn't Yuzhu pass on my words? Impossible, Yuzhu has always been the most Follow the rules. Could it be Mu Jin again?" Xiao Nanyue said that her complexion became worse and she blurted out the words of resentment. However, she quickly came to her senses, swallowed the word 'servant' on the tip of her tongue, and twisted the veil angrily. , sulking without saying a word.

Xiao Nan didn't want to destroy the newly eased relationship between her and Cui Youbo, so he suppressed his anger and didn't curse in front of Cui Youbo.But Qin's mother doesn't care about these things. Her county head has been framed so many times by that lowly maid, and she has been wronged so much today. She finally seized the opportunity, so how could she not help the county head complain about her grievances.

Qin's mother walked to the bed in two or three steps, knelt down, and complained to Uncle Cui: "Mr. Balang, I shouldn't have said these things to you, but I can't take it anymore. You have seen what happened today. , did my county lord ever order Mu Jin to kneel? The county lord thinks that she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the lord, and would rather be wronged by herself than disappoint and sad the lord. But how did the hibiscus do it? I don’t even care that I’m still pregnant with a child, let alone kneeling in front of the door to make amends? I know, saying that Mu Jin is ignorant and ignorant; if I don’t know, I’m not sure how to slander my county owner as a "poisonous woman" Woolen cloth?"

Qin's mother deliberately emphasized the word 'poisonous woman', and she spoke from her heart, hum, if it weren't for this lowly maid, how could the county lord have such a bad reputation?
In the past, that lowly servant girl knew how to calculate, and every time when Lord Balang was about to arrive, she cried, begged for mercy, and kowtowed to confess her guilt, making herself miserable, as if she had been abused for eight lifetimes. Son.The owner of Pianxian County has a strong temper, and when he finds out that Mujin is plotting against her on the spot, he wants to teach her a lesson in a hurry, but is stopped by Mr. Balang, so... well, the couple quarreled farther and farther, until it developed to this point.

Cui Youbo heard Qin's mother's pointing words, and then thought of what Yuzhu said when he entered the door, what else did he not understand?Thinking that he was actually being used, Cui Youbo's jade-like face seemed pitch black as if a pool of ink had been splashed on it.

Standing up with a bang, Cui Youbo walked out angrily without saying anything.

As soon as he reached the door, a little servant girl rushed in, seeing Uncle Cui, she hurriedly stopped and walked to salute, "My servant greets Mr. Balang, Mr. Balang, General Xue and Guard Fan."

"Who?" Cui Youbo paused, and said indifferently, "Is there a greeting card?"

"No, but," the little maid encountered such an errand for the first time, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Cui Youbo was in a hurry to deal with Mu Jin's matter, he didn't have time to wait for her to react, he just said "Let Qingsong handle it" and walked out of the yard.

Green pine?Qingsong was by the side of the two visitors, and, and—the little girl was about to stop Cui Youbo, but she heard an exclamation from the door, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl opened her mouth, and said as thinly as a mosquito: "They are coming to pay their respects to the old lady, and they have already arrived at the gate of Rongshou Hall!"

Outside the door, Fan Dezhi ran to the crumbling Hibiscus in a few steps, just about to ask her about her situation.

On the other side, Polygonatum also knelt down with a plop, and her knees hit the ground heavily, with a muffled 'bang', like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts—hiss~~ This hurts so much!

Yuzhu walked a few steps on her knees, came to the hibiscus, kowtowed hard, her forehead touched the ground, and after a few times, blood was seen on her fair forehead, and the viscous liquid flowed down her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. She begged: "Miss Mujin, I beg you, just listen to our county lord and go back to raise your baby. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should also care about the child in your stomach. Even if you don't take Mr. Flesh and blood are serious, and I beg you to let her be quiet for a while because my county mistress is also pregnant?"
