From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 994 Skinning II

"Since ancient times, the recruiter is a wife, and the runner is a concubine. It is not appropriate for a woman who has not left the court to give and receive in private. Hong Xing dares to say that it is someone else's fault when she is married, and she dares to pour dirty water on my father after giving birth to an illegitimate child. You guys are really shameless." The anger rose and she became more and more angry, Mei Xin then said harshly: "You said it was my father who stole love, what is the evidence? If she really didn't like it when Emperor Jinghe bestowed the marriage If she doesn't want to, why don't you resist the decree and don't say it? Since she likes King Chu Huai so much, and King Chu Huai must not marry her, why doesn't anyone enter the palace to look for Emperor Jinghe? Don't forget, they But my brother, I don’t believe that Emperor Jinghe will not let go of my brother’s begging.”

After she was reborn, she had asked her father in detail about what happened back then, and it was purely a helpless act to marry Shangguan Xinrou, and it was purely Emperor Jinghe's will.Therefore, no matter how much she blamed her, she couldn't blame her father, who couldn't bear to see her die tragically before she was born, so he forced her to speak out.

Immediately, Cheng Sichu was stopped by the question, she never seemed to have thought about this question, nor had she ever imagined that one day Mei Xin would ask her that.

As if she had foreseen that she would be speechless, Mei Xin immediately said: "Shangguan's family are scholars, with peaches and plums all over the world. With the prestige and status at that time, even if Emperor Jinghe refused to agree, and my father didn't agree, they would not agree." There must be a way."

People's words are terrible, even the emperor is afraid, not to mention that my father didn't want to marry a wife, and he never liked Shangguan Xinrou. She and King Huai of Chu, if one person stood up to expose this matter, they would never come to an end. This is the point today.Therefore, what she said was not true at all, and King Huai of Chu was not as in love with Shangguan Xinrou as she said, everything was just deception and use.

Cheng Sichu thought about it, but she didn't admit it, not only didn't admit it, but she said stubbornly: "The emperor bestowed the marriage, Liang's mansion is powerful, what can they do, stop talking nonsense here."

Mei Xin never speaks freely, especially after she joined the government, the mouths of literati are like a general's sword, killing people without blood.

With a shallow smile, Mei Xin said lightly: "People who really love each other don't say that they are married by the royal family, even if they put a knife on her neck, they will never marry others. She will turn into a ghost with death, and then Be by the side of the person you love. Obviously, neither of them loves each other enough, but they actually love themselves more than they love each other, so they didn't even say a word, let alone resisting the will."

The two extremely hypocritical people tacitly blamed all the faults on their father. They used it as an excuse to blatantly repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, and even gave birth to an illegitimate child, as if they had agreed in advance. , and let Cheng Sichu, a bastard, live in the Mei family for more than ten years, and let his father raise their daughter for nothing.

I have to say that they are hateful, but this is not the most shameless thing. The most shameless thing is that after the Dongchuang incident, they not only did not know how to repent, but also beat them back, shouting everywhere how much they love each other, how pitiful they are, and how sympathetic they are.

After fighting for many years, I thought that the Tartars were shameless and despicable enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone more powerful than them. My father was really bad luck for eight lifetimes, marrying such a woman.

"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense." Cheng Sichu didn't believe it, but her heart sank involuntarily.

With a cold smile, she got up and walked in front of her, Mei Xin said: "You know in your heart whether you are talking nonsense, and the dead Shangguan Xinrou also knows it in his heart, it's just that people's mouths are two skins, it doesn't matter what you say."

Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people, merits and demerits are free for later generations to comment.

Cheng Sichu didn't speak, not because he didn't hear, but because he thought of Shangguan Xinrou, who was lying dead on the street. She had been planning for King Huai of Chu all her life. For his great ambition, it could be said that she emptied Prince Liang's mansion and carried a burden on her back. Infamy, abandoning the glory and wealth, but what happened in the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and his life was lost.

Suddenly his heart was pierced, painful, Cheng Sichu roared angrily: "You can say whatever you want with two skins on your mouth. It is unacceptable for you to kill your mother and sister. You will die badly. You will be struck by lightning."

Born in Jiangmen, she never thought that she would die in a bad way. Mei Xin pasted the mulberry paper on her face and said: "You said so, if I don't do this, I will bear the name in vain."

He raised his hand to drink and sprayed it on the mulberry paper. In an instant, the mulberry paper stuck tightly to Cheng Sichu's face as if it had life.

Unable to breathe, full of fear, Cheng Sichu shook his head desperately, trying to shake the mulberry paper off.

Tiejiaguan is a well-known criminal law and instrument of torture in the cell. Mei Xin ignored her struggle and went to the table to pick up the second piece of mulberry paper and said, "You said that I am a heartless person. If you want to live, you'd better think about it." , Think about the questions I asked you."

It was pasted again with a snap, Cheng Sichu struggled harder, Yunying and others stepped forward to hold her hands and feet, she was like a fish out of water.

Still haven't got the answer she wanted, Mei Xin didn't continue to paste the mulberry paper on her, but waited for a while and said: "It's better to live than to die, if I were you, I would say it, not only would I know what to say, but I would say it." It's endless, and they say everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. Think about it, your mother, Shangguan Xinrou, has been with him for decades, has been with him for decades, has worked hard for him to have children, and for his ambition Zhuang Zhi even emptied Mei's house, but in the end, he didn't care about her at all, he didn't want her anymore, he took his wife and children and ran away."

The husband and wife were supposed to fly separately in the face of catastrophe, not to mention they couldn't even be called husband and wife, and what King Huai of Chu did was really amazing.

She couldn't speak but knew in her heart that Cheng Sichu was in extreme pain, and the more she struggled, the mulberry paper on her face became tighter, and a sense of suffocation hit her face, drowning her in an instant.

Seeing that she still had the strength to struggle, Mei Xin picked up another piece of mulberry paper and pasted it on her without hesitation. She bent down and whispered in her ear: "It is well known that King Huai of Chu has many wives and concubines. There are ten daughters alone. There are as many as three, and your mother devoted her whole life to him and was discarded for him, what about you? How much weight do you, an illegitimate daughter who doesn't know where you are in the family, have in his heart?"

It was conceivable, but she didn't say anything, she wanted Cheng Sichu to think for herself, whether it was worth it for her to do so.

Soon, Cheng Sichu didn't move, as if she had been relieved of all her strength, as if she had been suffocated to death, her legs, which had been struggling just now, stretched out feebly.

She couldn't die for the time being, Mei Xin quickly poked a hole in her nose without hesitation.

As soon as he touched the air, Cheng Sichu began to breathe, like a fish on the verge of death suddenly returned to the water, and recovered in an instant.
