Episode 018 Indisputable

Dong Yuan came out of Rongde Pavilion, bowed farewell to Shizi's wife on the bamboo forest and blue stone path, and then returned to Shicui Pavilion with orange red.

But Rong couldn't help standing upright and looking into the distance, staring blankly at the stone blue back.

Hua, the big maid who served her personally, smiled and said: "Ma'am, what are you looking at?"

Rong returned to his senses, the luster in his eyes was meaningful: "It's been five years, how many good things has the old lady given to Sister Yuan? But look at her, she has been wearing a stone blue squirrel fur cloak for five years; as long as she doesn't go out , I never put on makeup, and there is always that oily hairpin from the nasturtium flower on my head..."

Hua Ren didn't understand, so she could only smile and said: "Miss Nine is beautiful, and she looks good with plain makeup..."

Rong sighed: "It's really beautiful. I used to think it was too coquettish, but now I see that she is smart and beautiful. She should have a better future."

Hua Ren was even more confused, and didn't dare to ask further questions, so she had to support Rong and laugh with her.

After walking a few steps, he saw several maidservants coming towards Rongde Pavilion surrounded by two gorgeous figures.

The Mingyan girl wearing a multicolored tapestry cloak with pomegranate stamens spouting delicate patterns, and a forty-year-old woman wearing a royal blue thick and thick cloud-capped jacket, walked softly towards the old lady.

It is the Feng family who is widowed by the second wife and Xue Dongrong, the 17-year-old fifth girl.

Followed by their respective maids and mother-in-law.

Seeing Mrs. Rong, the second lady Feng and the fifth lady Xue Dongrong saluted one after another, and Mrs. Rong hurriedly returned the salute.

"I was sitting with my mother just now, and I still have something to do in the house, so I'll go back first." Shizi's wife, Mrs. Rong, greeted them with a smile, and then walked away.

The second wives Feng Shi and Xue Dongrong arrived at Rongde Pavilion, the little servant girl hurriedly lifted up the felt curtain for them, saluted them, then silently waved at them and pointed inside.

The second lady and Xue Dongrong understood, and entered Dongci room lightly.

Baojin, Baolu, and Mother Zhan are all in the Dongci room, and there is no one serving in the inner room.

After the three of them bowed their knees to salute the second wife, mother and daughter, Zhan's mother smiled and said to Feng Shi: "Second madam, Lord Hou is talking to the old lady, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking for a while. Why don't you go back first, or the sky will darken later , the road is frozen and difficult to walk.”

Her voice was extremely soft, and she kept winking at the inner room as she spoke.

Second Madam and Xue Dongrong naturally understood.

The second lady's face darkened, and she was about to say something, but Xue Dongrong grabbed her arm and said first, "We'll go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to say hello to grandma."

Mother Zhan respectfully said yes.

The second lady stopped talking and turned to go out.

Mother Zhan put on the clogs for her herself.Baolu and Baojin hurriedly helped Xue Dongrong put on clogs, and personally sent their mother and daughter out.

After leaving the Rongde Pavilion, the second wife asked the maids to follow her from a distance, and only Xue Dongrong supported her.

"Sister Rong, what do you mean by Master Hou and the old lady?" The second lady's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "The last time we came, we clearly heard the laughter of Lord Hou and sister Yuan in the inner room. Mother Zhan Blocking it and not letting us in, saying that Master Hou is sick; your aunt and sister Yuan just left today, and you are not allowed to enter. Is this specifically aimed at our mother and daughter?"

Xue Dongrong supported her mother with a peaceful smile: "Mother, you are overthinking, it's just a coincidence."

"You child, why do you have such a big heart!" The second lady's voice couldn't help but whisper, "Your father is not here, we are orphans and widowed mothers, and our life and death are in the hands of others. It's okay to say that the Hou Ye and the old lady are here. In the future, the Hou Ye died , who cares if we girls live or die?"

"Mother!" Xue Dongrong lowered her voice, "Grandpa is in good health, please don't say such things again, it will be heard by others, and it will add to the tongue."

The second lady also regretted her slip of the tongue, so she hurriedly stopped mentioning it.

"Mother, I know you are worried about your daughter." Xue Dongrong saw that the second lady's face was still gloomy, and comforted her with a smile, "Grandmother always knows what to do, even... even if it is true that sister Yuan enters the palace, grandmother will make up for delaying her daughter. During these years, I have been looking for a good in-law for my daughter..."

The mother and daughter have never kept anything secret.

Xue Dongrong's marriage, she herself is clear.

During the years of her stay, the second wife mentioned it to the old lady and Shizi's wife several times. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, she hinted to the second wife that Xue Dongrong's future was limitless.

The second lady understood vaguely in her heart.But she didn't have the letter, she was worried, and asked Mrs. Shizi several times, but Mrs. Shizi always refused to say clearly.

A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival last year, Mrs. Shizi accompanied the old lady into the palace to thank her, and came back to chat with the second lady. The second lady brought up Sister Rong's marriage again. Mrs. Shizi couldn't help her, and said: "I accompanied my mother into the palace the day before yesterday. The imperial concubine also mentioned that in the past, the older sisters of the family all left the cabinet, and she couldn't remember the younger ones, but she only remembered Sister Rong, and asked Sister Rong if she was okay. You, how long will you spend with your daughter? Let’s have a caring life in the new year, if one day the glory and wealth come, we will meet again, three worships and nine kowtows, there are only monarchs and ministers, how can there be mothers and daughters?"

When the second lady heard this, the corners of her eyes twitched, and her heart was finally relieved.

Xue Dongrong is going to stay until Yuanchang's four-year draft.

Next May will be the draft day.

But lately the old Hou Ye and the old lady are not normal, they seem to avoid their mother and daughter; and the old lady loves sister Yuan very much, so the second lady feels uneasy.

Last night, there was an accident in Taojuan Pavilion, and the second wife was also woken up by the maid, so she came to see it.But when she arrived, everyone had dispersed, and she was at a loss.

This morning, when she heard that Xue Dongwan was sent to Jingyuan Nunnery for recuperation, she was even more confused.After thinking about it again and again, the second lady didn't tell Xue Dongrong, so she sent the most clever ginkgo beside Xue Dongrong to the old lady's room to find out about the situation.

When Xue Dongrong was ten years old, he had a serious illness, and the second wife took her daughter to her He Ning Pavilion to take care of her.The old lady sympathized with her difficulty in being a widow, so she asked people to expand the Hening Pavilion, and added four more side rooms and four huts beside it, so that their mother and daughter could depend on each other.

The mother and daughter lived together, and the maids shared with each other.The ginkgo beside Xue Dongrong is smarter than the maids around the second lady, if there is any difficult thing, the second lady will tell her to do it.

Later, when Xue Dongrong found out, she frowned and said that this matter should not be done. The old lady was afraid that she didn't want others to know, and the second lady felt sorry for her.

Come to pay my respects now, are the old Hou Ye and the old lady annoyed because of what happened this morning, thinking that Xue Dongrong sent someone here?

If it delays her marriage...

The second lady became more and more frightened as she thought about it, and she held her daughter's hand tightly behind her back: "Sister Rong, don't be confused, you will be eighteen after the new year, and it's hard to find a marriage that is well-matched. My wife, I can't bear it, you are the daughter of the Hou family! Besides, once you enter the palace, one day you will become an imperial concubine, and everyone in the Xue family will kowtow to you, this is the future you deserve!"

Xue Dongrong's hands trembled slightly, and his heart hurt like a thousand arrows.

Everyone thinks it's a good place to go, everyone thinks it's extremely honorable, but who would have thought of the desolation of being cut off before one's old age?
Even if the grace lasts forever, the palace is a bloody battlefield.In order to survive, there is no sisterly love, no mother-daughter love, no husband-wife love, only fighting, only silent calculations, one wrong step is doomed, and you can't even sleep peacefully.

Only those who have experienced it will understand!

No, she will not enter the palace!

But what mother was looking forward to was not what Xue Dongrong would bring her, but that Xue Dongrong would live a lifetime of prosperity. How could she pour cold water on her mother with this sincere maternal love?

"It's getting dark..." She supported the second wife, and couldn't help quickening her pace, "Mother, don't worry, grandma won't let Sister Yuan enter the palace. As long as Sister Yuan enters the palace and wins the favor, those civil servants will definitely let her enter the palace." Find out what happened to the Han family back then. Sister Shen Yuan is a concubine, she will not live long! Grandmother must have thought of it, she is reluctant..."

The second lady couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard this, and patted Xue Dongrong's hand: "Why did I forget this? That Mrs. Han has done a good thing for our mother and daughter... When you enter the palace and become the imperial concubine, mother wants Burn some paper money for her."

Xue Dongrong couldn't help but laugh when he heard his mother's irrelevant words.But she finally calmed down her mother's uneasiness, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In this life, she vowed not to enter the palace!

Xue Dongrong couldn't help looking in the direction of Shicui Pavilion, clenched her fists slightly, Xue Dongyuan, who looks so beautiful, since God bestowed her beauty, let her go to the palace to receive the holy favor, and let her be a mother in the world in the future!She, Xue Dongrong, doesn't want those vanities anymore!
It was too late for the royal family to cover up the matter of the Han family. Those civil servants seemed to be outspoken and strong, but they knew the emperor's heart best.Whoever dares to mention the matter of Han's daughter back then will be punished with death. The fact that Han's became an obstacle for Xue Dongyuan to enter the palace was only Xue Dongrong coaxing the second wife.

"Sister Yuan, you have to thank me. I will never compete with you for that opportunity again, and I will never envy...don't envy everything about you." Xue Dongrong thought, the smile on her face became more and more peaceful and elegant, and she supported her body The plump mother returned to Hening Pavilion step by step.
