The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 3
Maybe it was because the cowardly and foolish lady in their eyes would suddenly go crazy, maybe it was because of my aura, the maids around did not come back to their senses until Su Qingliu fell down.

"Fifth Miss, Fifth Miss..." A group of people cried and shook around Su Qingliu, and then someone said something, Fifth Miss's head was bleeding, and several people howled ghostly and carried him out of the small courtyard.

In just a moment, the noisy courtyard just now returned to calm. My legs were already shaking. This small body is simply too weak, and it can be blown away by a gust of wind, so I have to recuperate quickly.

Leaning on the wall, she managed to sit on the steps, gasped for a few times, and before she could catch her breath, Lu Zhu ran back from the outside in a panic.

"Miss, miss, are you okay..." She ran over and looked left and right, seeing that there was no new injury on my body, hugged me and began to cry "Miss, I scared the slaves to death. On the way back just now, they said five The lady started fighting with you, and the servant thought you were being bullied. Miss, please don't let anything happen to you, woo woo woo..."

The look of her snot and tears reminds me of my little sister.

The younger sister also loves to cry, and grinned like her when she cried. My mother always scolded her for not being a lady, and at the same time asked her to learn more from me.At this time, the little girl would pout and say that my mother is eccentric, that she loves me but not her, and then she would come and snatch the Sophora japonica cake in my hand, and stuff it into my mother's mouth mischievously, and the whole family laughed and quarreled...

I didn't think it was plain before, but now I think about it, how warm it is.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Luzhu wiped away tears, I shook my head and said it was all right.She then took out two black things from her bosom, wiped them with a handkerchief a few times, and came over embarrassingly, "Miss, it's not good to be a servant. The servant can't find anything delicious. You should eat something to fill up first." Stomach."

After taking a piece and biting it down, the taste is a bit rough, it is roasted root potato.Forced myself to take a few more mouthfuls, it was really hard to swallow, so I simply put the root potato aside and recalled what happened just now.

I remember very clearly that when Su Qingliu stood up, there was nothing under her feet. She was wearing a Luo Jin skirt and a pair of taupe-colored leggings on her lower body. There was no possibility that she would step on the corner of her clothes. , the head still fell on the stone...

Could it be...

I got up, went to the place where she fell and looked carefully, and sure enough I found a piece of copper ear in the grass.

The copper ear is hollow, with small dark lines on it, and a little red silk thread inside.If I remember correctly, this is the third miss Su Qingyue's sword pendant.

This is interesting, Su Qingyue actually plots against Su Qingliu...

The two grew up together, and their relationship is pretty good. If Su Qingyue simply wanted to make me worse, Su Qingyue would not have to do such a trick at all.

unless……

"Lu Zhu, has anything happened in the mansion in recent days?" I asked.

Luzhu was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are many. Fang Fang, who was in the back kitchen, mistakenly took sesame paste for osmanthus soup, and was punished by the third lady to kneel all night. Aunt Feng, who was cooking, killed a chicken yesterday and chopped it into her own hands. A cry, and..."

I was a little impatient, and interrupted her with a wave of my hand, "I'm not asking about these small things in the backyard, but about what's happening in the mansion."

"Of course." Luzhu nodded, "Yesterday morning, the general came back from the border patrol. As soon as he came back, he was called to the palace to face the saint. The emperor rewarded a lot of things. After the general came back, he said that he would set up a For the family banquet, it is said that the Second Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince will all come to clean up the dust for the General."

I nodded, that's it.Baili Tianqi has great ambitions, and he wants to expand the territory and unify Tianqi to become the overlord. I have been with him for eight years, and I have a little understanding of the Xiqi royal family.

Xiqi Crown Prince He Lian Yunhong is the son of the late Empress Hechen. He was weak and sick since childhood.

The weak position of the East Palace naturally increases the power of the eight directions.

The second prince, He Lian Yunqi, the seventh prince, He Lian Yunze, and the eighth prince, He Lian Yunzhao, all of them are like dragons in the pond.

Coupled with the intentional or unintentional support of Emperor Xiqi, the prestige of the three princes is now greater than that of the crown prince.There are even rumors among the people that even if the crown prince is not suffering from chronic illness, the position of the East Palace will be replaced by someone among these three people sooner or later.

And the one with the loudest rumors was the eighth prince, Helian Yunzhao.

The second prince and the seventh prince already had concubines, but the eighth prince was already past the age of marriage, and he didn't even have a concubine around him.

His mother Concubine De proposed several times in front of the emperor, intending to find a concubine for him in the Su residence, but because he never responded, the matter was put on hold.

This time, several princes came to the General's Mansion for a family banquet, and the mistress of the family would definitely let the young ladies in the mansion come on stage with fine makeup and show off their talents.

Xiqi doesn't value literature over martial arts like Dongmu. In Xiqi, even the concubine daughter of a general's family has a very high status.Although Su Qingyue and Su Qingliu are not yet ready, they can still attend the banquet.

In terms of appearance, Su Qingliu and Su Qingyue are on par, but it is rumored that the Eighth Prince likes to listen to the flute. Although Su Qingliu is domineering and reckless, he is good at playing the flute, but Su Qingyue can only see people with one dance.

This is probably why Su Qingyue plotted against her...

"Miss...you don't want to go to the front, do you?" Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Lu Zhu tugged at my sleeve. Yes. Even if you can go, we don’t even have a decent dress here, let alone a show of talent..."

I pulled my lower lip.

Of course I don't want to go to a family banquet, and I don't even want to please this or that prince.I have suffered enough in the previous life, so why bother going into the emperor's house again in this life?

I was just thinking, since Su Qingyue's mind is on tomorrow's family banquet, after getting rid of a potential opponent by borrowing a hand, she will definitely not take the initiative to make any trouble with the mistress of the General's Mansion.

But Su Qingliu's side is different.

Su Qingliu's aunt, Mrs. Zhao, is a pungent character, and she will definitely bring the mistress here in the afternoon at most, and settle accounts with me for hurting her child.

I hit Su Qingliu, I admit it, but let Su Qingyue take advantage of it, I always feel uncomfortable!

Some sporadic images floated through my mind, and I suddenly had an idea.

"Luzhu, do you want to eat something good?" I asked.

The boss stared at Luzhu, "Miss, I don't understand what you are talking about...""

I hooked my fingers, and Luzhu immediately brought her ear closer, and I whispered a few words in her ear.

"What!" Lu Zhu turned pale with shock, "Miss, this is impossible!"

I smiled slightly, "Luzhu, do you believe in your young lady?"

"This..." She hesitated.I guess she must say she doesn't believe it in her heart, after all, she has been with the real Su Qingmu for nine years.

I didn't force her anymore, so I asked her to go back to the room and take a piece of torn bed sheet, sew the two sides together to form a bucket shape, roll it up and stuff it up, let the green pearl take care of the wind, and tiptoe to the second lady's Qulan courtyard.

This body is very thin, so it slipped around the corner without anyone noticing.

Turning around and coming to the back garden, seeing no one around, he unfolded the cloth bucket, picked up a thick branch and tied the handle...

Aim at the target, hit it down with one blow, and the cloth fight is instantly heavy...

Not daring to hesitate, I quickly retracted the cloth bucket, stuffed it into my bosom, bowed my waist and returned the same way.

At noon, cooking smoke rose from the kitchen of the General's Mansion, and a faint smell of fish wafted into my small courtyard.

The first meal after becoming Su Qingmu began happily.

Root potato with fish soup, there are meat and vegetables, meat and vegetables match.

It's a pity that this arowana is expensive, and it doesn't taste good when cooked, and the taste is not as good as ordinary sea bass. It's a pity...

After eating, I wrapped the fish bones and buried them, and spread a layer of ashes on the pot with soil, making it look like it hadn’t been fired, and then whispered a few words in Luzhu’s ear, and she immediately put the raw meat that I had torn off earlier. Wrap the fish tail and shark's fin, and sneak out cleverly...

Not long after, she ran back happily and said to me, "Miss, according to your order, the servant has put the things at the door of the third lady's Persian cat room. ..."

I nodded, found a piece of clean grass in the yard, lifted up my sarong, exposed my welt-scarred legs to the sun, and lay down quietly to bask in the sun.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after lying down for a while, I seem to hear someone laughing next to me.
