The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 117 The Monstrous Truth
"Look at what you said, you are my wife, just tell me what you want me to do, and I will definitely help you!"

Looking at Sima Xukong's bright smile, Changsun Jingrong pursed his lips, and then said: "I want you to help me investigate Xu Shikang's background, and who is the biological mother of the late emperor who died early!"

Sima Xukong didn't expect his eldest grandson Jingrong to say these words, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes and asked, "Jingrong, this game is too big to play, are you sure you want to get involved?"

"If I don't investigate clearly, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." Changsun Jingrong is now as if possessed by a demon, she wants to know Xu Zizheng's life experience, even if she knows that there are many dangers, she still can't stop her from exploring the truth.

Just when Changsun Jingrong wanted to find some more reasons to lobby Sima Xukong, Sima Xukong smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you investigate."

That's it?This man, don't you ask yourself why you want to investigate this?

With a trace of hesitation in his eyes, Changsun Jingrong asked, "You don't even ask me the reason? Could it be that you are teasing me?"

"I said before that I will trust you and support you unconditionally. I can't just talk about it." Gently patting Changsun Jingrong's head, Sima Xukong said with a smile, "Okay, these things are all right." Let me handle it, you just need to be your little wife with peace of mind!"

Looking at Sima Xukong's back that was drifting away, Changsun Jingrong slowly frowned.According to Xu Zizheng, the Xue family intends to rebel, and their bargaining chip is Sima Xukong.So what was Sima Xu thinking in his heart?Had he ever been interested in that supreme seat?For a long time, Sima Xukong gave people a cynical feeling. Changsun Jingrong felt that this was not the real face of this man, and he concealed his true self, was it just to confuse the public and make a big deal happen?

The more Changsun Jingrong thought about it, the more confused he became, and he felt that his head was about to explode.There are too many things that happened tonight, she needs to sort it out and think about plans for tomorrow.

The third day of the first lunar month is the day when the eldest grandson Jingrong returns home.Early in the morning, Changsun Jingrong asked Bihe to prepare all the gifts he had bought, and got into the carriage and went straight to Changsun's mansion.

Knowing that the eldest grandson Jingrong is coming back, everyone in the eldest grandson's house is busy, and the kitchen is also preparing all kinds of delicacies, the aroma is lingering, and there is a dense atmosphere.The servants who came and went dressed up the house in a very happy manner, and there were more red lanterns than on New Year's Eve.And the masters of the house were also dressed luxuriously and gorgeously, as if they were going to meet some distinguished guests.

When Changsun Jingrong's carriage drove to the outside of Changsun's mansion, the Changsun couple, Aunt Jiao and Wan Yue all stood outside the door to welcome them.

The eldest grandson Jingrong, who had just got off the carriage, couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the battle, and then hurriedly held his parents' hands and said, "It's cold outside, why are you all standing outside? Come in, everyone."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't seem to see her, Aunt Jiao was afraid that she would be left behind, so she hurriedly smiled and squeezed forward, saying flatteringly, "Oh, we should stand outside for a while longer if we can see Jingrong."

Seeing Aunt Jiao's face smiling like a flower, Changsun Jingrong smiled silently, and then noticed the taciturn eldest grandson Wanyue beside her, raised her eyebrows and said: "It's been a long time since I saw Sister Wanyue, she's in better shape." ?”

Her body froze, her eldest grandson Wanyue lowered her head and said, "Okay, much better."

"Oh, since Jingrong has arrived, let's not stand here anymore, Mommy Fu, hurry up and prepare Missy's favorite refreshments!" Aunt Jiao greeted the eldest grandson Jingrong with joy, and the humble appearance made the eldest grandson Jingrong Rong smelled the taste of conspiracy.

Looking at Bai Qinghua beside him, the eldest grandson Jingrong did not show any displeasure, and walked across the threshold with her on his arm.

After several people sat down firmly, Changsun Zhentian couldn't help asking: "By the way, why didn't the prince come with you?"

"My lord is going to visit some ministers in the court today, and I will arrive later." Changsun Jingrong asked Bihe to distribute gifts to everyone, and said with a smile on his face.

After the eldest grandson Zhentian heard this, he hurriedly said: "No hurry, no rush, my family members sit together for dinner, it's okay to be earlier or later, the prince should be busy with serious business first."

That man, what serious business can he be busy with, hum!
The eldest grandson Jingrong snorted secretly, then looked at Bai Qinghua and said with a smile: "Look, mother, do you like the pearl necklace I picked for you?"

What the eldest grandson Jingrong held in his hand was a string of pearl necklaces with a touch of pink in the white, the faint luster was soft and luxurious, one could tell it was a treasure at a glance.

Carefully holding it in his hand, Bai Qinghua said: "This thing is too expensive, and there is nothing that mother can use it for. Why don't you keep it, maybe it will come in handy for dinner parties or something."

"Mother, my daughter has no shortage of jewelry. These are for you, so you can keep them." Changsun Jingrong glanced at Aunt Jiao behind him, and sure enough, she saw traces of desire in that woman's eyes.

Pursing his lips, Changsun Jingrong got up and walked to Aunt Jiao, took out a gift box and handed it over, saying: "Aunt Jiao has worked hard to take care of parents these days, this small gift is not a respect."

"Oh, how could I have the nerve to accept it? The mirror is so polite!" Aunt Jiao took it with a blushing face, and took it apart with Wanyue standing next to her, just in time to see a pair of jade Ruyi lying inside. His eyes were straightened, and he murmured, "My God, this thing is worth a lot of money!"

"Cough-cough-"

Hearing Changsun Zhentian's cough, Aunt Jiao hurriedly suppressed her greed, and smiled obsequiously at Changsun Jingrong: "Oh, it's different after being a princess, and you are so generous. I heard that Jingrong recognizes you again." Jin Guogong as foster father and mother? Jin Guogong has a high position in our Long Rui, you are really getting more and more promising!"

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Changsun Jing looked uncertain, but his eyes fell on Changsun Wanyue lightly, seeming to be a bit probing.

Being sized up by such eyes, Changsun Wanyue felt uncomfortable all over. She rubbed her palms together and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Eldest, elder sister."

"Heh, after a year, you're just one year older, why are you still so shy?" Changsun Jingrong pretended to be gentle and said, "My sister is not young anymore, has my aunt ever found a lover for her? "

Everyone in the family knew about the situation of the eldest grandson Wanyue, and it was a real headache to mention finding a marriage for her, and every time Aunt Jiao stretched her neck and waited for the eldest grandson Jingrong to come back, she just wanted her to talk about marriage for Wanyue.She lived in the eldest grandson's house all her life, and that's it. With the eldest grandson Jingrong around, even if she gave birth to a son, she would have no hope of turning over.Now Aunt Jiao is pinning all her hopes on her daughter, if she can marry a good man, then Aunt Jiao will be able to save some face in the Changsun Mansion.Now that Changsun Jingrong took the initiative to talk about it, Aunt Jiao was overjoyed and felt that there was finally a clue.

However, although Aunt Jiao was happy, she was still full of melancholy on the surface, and said: "Hey, you should be clear about your sister's situation. Auntie really doesn't know what kind of family I should find for Wan Yue. Jingrong, you now The identity is different, you see if there is a suitable one around you, let me introduce it for Wanyue?"

"This one..." Changsun Jingrong thought about it carefully, and Aunt Jiao held her breath, looked at her rightly, and then said slowly, "It seems that there are really a few suitable ones, I will choose carefully when I go back." , and then let Auntie make a good choice."

"Hey, this is going to trouble Jingrong!"

Aunt Jiao was overjoyed and rubbed her palms in disbelief.On the contrary, the eldest grandson Wanyue still looked dumbfounded, as if she was not talking about her.Aunt Jiao turned around and pushed and pulled Yue, wanting her to say some polite words to her eldest grandson Jingrong, so as to maintain the friendship between the sisters.But Wan Yue turned a blind eye, just looked at the tip of her shoe and didn't speak.

There is no other way, Aunt Jiao can only let go with resentment.Glancing at the nanny out of the corner of her eye, Aunt Jiao took care again, waved to her, and explained in a low voice.Not long after, the nanny brought over a man who looked like a jade bracelet carved in powder, with black and bright eyes rolling around, looking innocent and innocent.

Seeing Changsun Hanlin, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but said in amazement: "Ah, this is Hanlin, he can stand up now, time flies so fast."

"That's not true, next year, I'll have New Year greetings with my sister and say auspicious words." Aunt Jiao said with a flattering smile, "Hanlin, when you grow up, you have to protect your two sisters, do you know?"

Stretching out his hand to poke Changsun Hanlin's cheek, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "He is really a good-looking child. The future successor of our Changsun's family must teach him well. The property of the family was handed over to him."

Suffocating for breath, Aunt Jiao wondered what happened to the eldest grandson Jingrong today, she seemed to be a different person, not only was she no longer aggressive, she also spoke a lot, and her sentences were kind.But it's true, she is now a princess and the goddaughter of the Duke of Jin, so why would she take such a small family property seriously?In the future, they will enjoy great wealth, so of course they will not be tempted by this family property.Oh, then this is cheap for Han Lin, the family property that will be handed over to him in the future will definitely be much more now, and he will be able to fight less and enjoy the wealth in peace!

Aunt Jiao secretly laughed here, while Bai Qinghua secretly frowned there.Taking advantage of the early meal time, Bai Qinghua found an excuse to bring his eldest grandson Jingrong with him and talk about himself.

"Jingrong, have you lived comfortably in the palace during this time?"

"Everything is going well, mother don't have to worry about me." Changsun Jingrong sat beside Bai Qinghua, and smiled obediently, "Does mother think that my attitude towards Aunt Jiao is too warm?"

Although he knew that the eldest grandson Jingrong did things properly, Bai Qinghua was still worried, and said: "It's not like you don't know what kind of person your aunt Jiao is. The things you did to her, once she gains power in the future, there is no need to worry about it." I won't take it seriously, and I won't remember your kindness. Now you should save more money and plan for yourself."

The eldest grandson Jingrong drank white dew tea slowly, and said: "Hanlin is only one year old, it's still early for him to take charge of the shop, there's nothing to fear at all."

"Then what's the matter with you looking for a marriage for Wanyue?" Seeing that the elder Sun Jingrong wanted to avoid him, Bai Qinghua said directly, "It's not like you don't know about Wanyue's situation, who would want such a girl? "

"That's because my daughter hasn't asked yet. Maybe the young master likes Wanyue's appearance and wants to marry him into the house." Changsun Jingrong said nonchalantly, "Wanyue is too competitive and will do anything when encountering things. My daughter Although I don't like her very much, but after what happened last time, Wanyue should have learned enough lessons, and he should know the seriousness of his actions in the future. Besides, my father is also worried about Wanyue's affairs. I can't just watch him work hard and be helpless .”

"This is your real intention, isn't it?" Bai Qinghua looked at Changsun Jingrong with a little distress, and said, "This is to make your father feel at ease, so he is willing to help Wanyue. It's just the situation of Wanyue Well, if you help her, you are harming others, and you are doomed to keep it a secret for the rest of your life, so we feel ashamed."

Gently patted the back of Bai Qinghua's hand, Changsun Jingrong said comfortingly: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will come up with a complete plan, which will not wrong him, but also give Wanyue a good reputation. My daughter will see you soon." There are too many people, there are all kinds of things, mother don't have to worry."

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's appearance as a little girl, Bai Qinghua sighed softly, and said, "You are just too strong, you have to worry about everything, but you don't care about your own affairs at all. You Say, have you thought about countermeasures for what your mother mentioned to you last time?"

Changsun Jingrong knew what Bai Qinghua was talking about, but she knew about the situation between her and Sima Xukong, so she couldn't tell Bai Qinghua in detail, so she could only coax him: "Oh , that matter is not something that can be done in a hurry, we always have to go with the flow. Besides, my daughter has just recognized Jin Guogong and his wife as adoptive father and mother, and the prince has no reason to marry a newcomer. Don't worry, mother, my daughter will take care of these things Things. That’s right, I just saw Hanlin, and I remembered that I didn’t give him a gift. This is unreasonable, otherwise, my daughter will give him this jade leaf pendant.”

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't want to talk any more, Bai Qinghua sighed helplessly, and said, "You know the seriousness of your own affairs, as long as you don't have an empty rejoicing like Shuyun."

Holding the pendant in his hand, Changsun Jingrong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Qinghua, and asked, "What happened to the comb cloud that mother just said?"

"Don't you know about this?" Bai Qinghua said as if he couldn't believe it, "It was rumored a few years ago that it was her marriage to the Li family, let it go!"

Although the end of the matter had been expected for a long time, the eldest grandson Jingrong still couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "What reason did the Li family give for the divorce?"

"I heard that it was the Li family who told the young master about a serious marriage. He has a good status and looks handsome. Although the young master of the Li family disagreed, he couldn't resist the strength of the parents of both parties. And that girl is also very powerful. I heard that Mr. Li has If you are a good friend, I want them to break up immediately, and not even leave a concubine to Shuyun in the future. Mr. Li also resisted at the beginning, but after all, his thigh couldn't twist his arm, so he had to accept it in the end Poor Shuyun, she finally got the chance to join a wealthy family, but this time she was completely broken. Jingrong, go and see her if you have nothing to do, it must have been a difficult time."

Hmph, probably the last thing Liu Shuyun wants to see now is herself!
The eldest grandson Jingrong leaned on the chair, his mind turned, his expression indifferent.

Seeing the appearance of Changsun Jingrong, Bai Qinghua couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, is there a conflict between you and Shu Yun?"

"It's not a contradiction, but the current Shuyun is no longer the innocent and harmless little girl before." Changsun Jingrong fiddled with the cup in his hand, and said, "The world has changed, and she no longer needs the company of my good sister. Alright."

"Things will always change, don't you think you have changed now?" Bai Qinghua persuaded earnestly, "Mother never thought that one day, you would become the woman who supports the family, maybe Shuyun also has no other choice." No matter how things develop, your friendship of more than ten years is not fake, no matter what, you should go and see, maybe with this opportunity, you can reconcile as before."

After all, the mother is kind and does not understand the truth of the matter, so Changsun Jingrong will not tell the truth of the matter, but only comforts her with words, and has other plans in her heart.

When Sima Xukong came back from his busy schedule, it was already evening, and the eldest grandson's family had already prepared wine and food, waiting for Sima Xukong.After exchanging pleasantries with the people in the house, Sima Xukong sat down with his hands clean and prepared to serve dinner.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong liked Hanlin quite a lot, Aunt Jiao took the eldest grandson Hanlin out again before eating, and several people surrounded the little man, teasing him to babble.

Stretching out his hand to hold Han Lin's chubby little hand, Sima Xukong's expression was full of tenderness, and his tone was also soft. In order to make him happy, he would even imitate some strange movements.And when he saw Hanlin showing a cute smile, he would also laugh silly.

Seeing the change in Sima Xukong's expression, Bai Qinghua said meaningfully: "It seems that the prince also likes children."

"Yeah, the kids are so cute. There is nothing to worry about when we are with them." Encouraged by Aunt Jiao, Sima Xukong stretched out his arms and hugged his eldest grandson Hanlin, holding them up again and again, making the child giggle. "Look, he seems to like me very much!"

Looking at Sima Xukong's appearance as if he had picked up a treasure, Changsun Jingrong smiled slightly and said, "My lord, it's time for Hanlin to take a nap too. If you tease him like this, he will be so energetic that he won't be able to fall asleep."

"Uh..." Sima Xukong hugged Hanlin a little helplessly, but Hanlin hadn't had enough fun yet, so he tugged at Sima Xukong's sleeve, jumped up and down, and continued to play.Looking helplessly at his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong said, "What should I do, Hanlin seems to still want to play."

Turning his head to one side, Changsun Jingrong said: "Didn't you say that Han Lin likes you very much, then you should have a good talk with him and see if he will listen to you."

Unexpectedly, Sima Xukong actually discussed it with Hanlin in a good manner.But how could a child understand so many principles, and when his mouth was constricted, he began to cry aggrievedly.
