Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 38 Evolution of Black Belly
Just as Shi Yiqing was about to decline, she heard the old lady sitting upright say suddenly: "Qing'er, don't sit on the sidelines and look stupidly, go pick and see if there is anything you like."

Shi Yiqing had no choice but to stand up with Shi Zeqian, smiled, and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Shi Zeqian looked at Shi Yiqing with complicated eyes, but when she turned her eyes, she smiled brighter. She teased the old lady a few times, and then dragged her into the crowd.

Shi Yiqing had just taken a high-quality Yunzhou embroidery and was about to take a closer look when suddenly a gust of wind rushed over from the direction of the curtain, and then she heard a maid exclaim, and she suddenly felt that something was pulling on the instep of her embroidered shoes Looking at the beads on the string, I was startled, suppressed the exclamation, and took a step back subconsciously.

It was a brown short-haired pug dog with a ferocious appearance. Now seeing Shi Yiqing looking at him, he clicked his mouth twice and said "Wow", looking at her triumphantly.

Shi Xuanxin clapped his palms and called out, seeing the pug sitting meekly at her feet, he said with a smile: "Did you scare the fourth sister? I didn't know that the fourth sister didn't like dogs, but this is what the elder brother has been doing since Guan Nei brought it back to me, saying it was a novelty called mynah, and told me to play with it.”

Of course Shi Yiqing recognized this dog, she would never forget it.In the previous life, Xu knew that Shi Yiqing was afraid of dogs, and Shi Xuanxin loved the dog very much. Later, he followed Shi Xuanxin into the palace, and he behaved domineeringly in the palace, just like Shi Conghu in front of her. .Later, Nian'er couldn't see that Shi Xuanxin was always taking the dog to walk in front of Shi Yiqing, making Shi Yiqing frightened, so he found an opportunity to beat the dog and screamed again and again. Crying and shouting endlessly in front of him, Li Chi beat Nian'er severely, and threw him into the palace with bruises and bruises all over his body. No one was allowed to come and see him, which directly and indirectly killed him.

In her life, in just a few decades, many things have been forgotten, but she can't forget, Shi Xuanxin took this so-called pug dog to find him, and was kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace, begging Li Chiwang to forgive him. In front of her, she smiled proudly and said: "Fourth sister, my starling is a famous dog, what should I do if the crown prince hurts it? As a sister, I still want to persuade you, you should go back, don't give up. It made the emperor furious."

Under the long sleeves, Shi Yiqing clenched her fists, and the heart-piercing pain turned into a slight smile on her cheeks: "Sister, you really are a cute dog! It's just..." She paused deliberately, worried Looking up at the old lady, "It's just that my grandmother has an extremely precious Persian cat. If my sister doesn't take good care of it..."

When the old lady above heard this, she saw the pug dog under Shi Xuanxin's feet. The dog said to Shi Xuanxin: "Get away, get that dog away! It will not be allowed to come to Chunhui Hall in the future, you understand?"

Shi Xuanxin never thought that there would be a cat on the old lady's side, and looked at the old lady's gaffe in a little surprise, and hurriedly asked the maid below to carry the starling back to his yard, and forced a smile and said: "Grandmother, don't worry. , Xin'er promises that the starling won't come to grandma."

Shi Yiqing smiled and lowered his eyes, covering up the coldness that flashed across his eyes.

The wives and young ladies in each room left with their beautiful silk satin contentedly. The old lady left Shi Yiqing on purpose, and asked with concern: "I heard that you are coming from Aunt Xiao. I want to call you at this time. Excuse me." It's time for the two of you to talk? Girl, you won't blame me, will you?"

Shi Yiqing smiled respectfully: "Grandmother offered grace to allow Qing'er to meet Aunt Xiao. Qing'er is already very grateful. How could Qing'er blame grandma?"

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, leaned on the soft pillow and said with a smile: "I heard from Zhu Xi that you have been persistently transcribing scriptures in your own yard every day and secretly handing them over to her? Girl, you really have a heart."

Shi Yiqing became more and more humble: "Qing'er hasn't served her grandmother for many years, and now that she's back at home, it's just an effort to let the world know that my Buddha is merciful and my grandmother is kind. That's good."

The old lady took Shi Yiqing's hand, let her sit beside her, sighed and smiled, "You still have a heart. Unlike those wolf-hearted things, no matter how nice I am to them, they will always It’s dissatisfaction. By the way, girl, you haven’t told me about your outside affairs yet.”

"Grandmother wants to hear?" Shi Yiqing smiled, and talked about his life in the countryside of Lin County in a relaxed tone, trying to avoid the grievances he suffered, and mainly talked about the joy of the countryside.

The old lady shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Girl, you didn't tell me the truth."

Shi Yiqing smiled calmly: "Grandma, sometimes the truth hurts. I'm afraid you won't like what you hear."

"Even if the truth hurts someone, the old woman is willing to know, it's better than living peacefully in a lie."

Shi Yiqing took a deep breath, knowing that there was no need to hide the past, besides, if the old lady wanted to know, she would send someone down to Lin County to investigate, and she would not be able to hide anything.She said slowly: "I vaguely remember that I was in the Shi family in Linxian County. I was seven or eight years old. Later, my uncle's family hindered my rumors, saying that I was a evil star and would ruin their family. They couldn't wait to kill me. She was placed in a poor family in Linxian County. Because Aunt Xu never worked, she was pampered and pampered in Beijing for many years. Those who were eating, agreed in front of my uncle, turned her face and drove her out of Lin County, refusing to let her in."

She paused, sorted out her thoughts, and said: "At that time, it was the first time I was away from my mother and lived alone in other people's homes. Although at the beginning I would always wake up from my dream crying, but In the end, I survived. I learned how to make fire and cook, and even learned how to harvest wheat. Later, I grew bigger and bigger. One day and night, I was almost raped by the son of that family. Well, but in the end it still alarmed others, then Lin County can't stay any longer."

"I think my grandmother knew about what happened next. I was sent to Master Jingxin's side. I became a disciple of the lay school. In addition to reading scriptures and learning characters, I also had to fetch water and do hard work to support myself. When I thought that Grandma Xu would never come back, Grandma Xu took the money she earned from washing clothes in small households, bought her own qualification to work in Jingxin Temple, and stayed by my side all the time."

The old lady looked at Shi Yiqing with an uncertain expression, waited quietly for her to finish speaking, and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that you never told others that your father is the Minister of the Capital, your uncle is a lord, and your The mother's family is the Xiao family in the capital who married the head of Yinshan County?!"

Shi Yiqing looked calm, lowered his eyes and smiled wryly: "I also resisted. When I was first sent to the countryside, when I was whipped and scolded to work, I told them that I said I I know everything I know, I try my best to tell my identity, but that family always uses all kinds of dirty words to ridicule me and insult me ​​as much as possible. In that place, mosquitoes bite me so much that I can’t sleep in summer. In winter, the house is like an ice cellar, I even work in single clothes in winter, my feet are full of chilblains, and my hands are also covered with calluses."

Her voice was not high, her expression was so indifferent that she didn't seem to have any, and she never expressed the pain and misery she said, but there was a kind of helplessness and despair quietly flowing in Liu Guang's shining eyes. Zhu Xi was completely dumbfounded.

The old lady subconsciously looked at Shi Yiqing's bracelet, groped her fingertips carefully, and found that the palms that should have been fair and clean were indeed covered with calluses of various sizes, which could not be formed overnight, but She has never been able to look at it, nor has she touched it with such heart.

She shook her head and sighed secretly, since her husband earned a noble status for their Shi family, the ladies and ladies in this mansion are not well-clothed and cared for in every possible way, but Shi Yiqing has lived such a life for many years , what flows in her is the blood of the Shi family, but she is treated lightly by the most inferior people.

The old lady looked at Shi Yiqing and felt a sharp pain in her heart.Although she is also from a low family background, she is the daughter of a merchant, and she enjoys such a magnificent life. How can she think of how a seven-year-old girl who has left her hometown survived the insults and scolding of the crowd day by day? To be able to grow so slim under such harsh conditions.

She stopped Shi Yiqing and hugged her in her arms, and said with pity: "My child, my girl, I have suffered for you. For so many years, it is I who can't help you, and it's the Shi family who can't help you! Child, I don't know, I didn't know they would treat you like this... child, my girl!"

Shi Yiqing smiled, and his black and white eyes were cool and refreshing: "No, grandma, those are not as painful as you imagined, it doesn't matter if those people beat me or insult me, as long as they are not people I care about, why would I bother?" Do you care about what they say? What really makes the girl sad is that during the New Year, everyone went back to their respective homes, and even the laborers who worked outside were let go. They all happily ate dumplings and yawned together. , waiting to watch the new year for my family. At that time, there was no one but Madam Xu. Seeing the father carrying his son out to play, I especially wanted my father to pull me out, and also wanted to follow They went to watch lanterns and eat dumplings together. However, others scolded me, and they all said that I was a wild child without father or mother."

The words as plain as water came from Shi Yiqing's mouth, she didn't cry, because some things will be given to you if you don't cry, even if they don't want them.She understood this truth a long time ago and has a deeper understanding.

The old lady's eyes were red, she held Shi Yiqing's hand tightly, and said slowly: "Girl, you're home, don't worry, as long as I have one day as an old woman, I won't let others bully you again."

The old lady Meng is used to being cold, but now that she said this, the emotion in her eyes was real, Shi Yiqing shed tears silently, she was really moved.Yes, she has come back now. From now on, she will not allow anyone in this world to bully her, nor will she allow anyone to bully her relatives!
She, Shi Yiqing, was too cowardly and kind in her previous life, so she was forced by Shi Xuanxin step by step until her family was ruined and she died miserably!In this life, in order to protect the people she wants to protect and take back everything she has lost, then she will only be a villain in this life, marching forward with blood, and she will not hesitate!

The old lady smiled and said, with a trace of sincere concern in her eyes: "Girl, it's lonely for an old woman to live in such a big place by herself. If you're okay, come here often to accompany me."

Shi Yiqing knew that the old lady's words would be the greatest protection for her future life!
