First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 69

Zeng Rou's words made Xu Cifu's eldest daughter, Xu Huiniang, who was only one year older than Xu Danniang, nearly collapsed.Tears of grievances and incomprehension flowed down her cheeks like a spring, washing away the makeup on her face. Xu Huiniang no longer thought about opening the door of the tea room. She sat down and said bitterly and confusedly: "I was wrong? I Is it wrong?"

Zeng Rou poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Huiniang. Seeing her collapsed, Zeng Rou felt very uncomfortable, "You are right!"

"I am my father's prostitute daughter. I grew up in the Xu family of a famous family. I should be the proud daughter of heaven, but I...whatever I do wrong or whatever, I will never be better than Xu Danniang. No matter what my mother does, my father dislikes her." , my mother and I, as well as my biological brother are the laughing stock of the Xu family, I am not afraid of your jokes, my father has not slept with my mother for a long time, he only recognizes Aunt Qin, there is a small kitchen and a small study in Aunt Qin’s yard, There are special purchases, and the best and most loyal servants of the Xu family."

"On the surface, my mother is in charge of everything in the Xu family, but in fact, my mother can't control Aunt Qin at all! As long as Aunt Qin goes to my mother to say hello, my mother doesn't need to say anything. Aunt Qin's son-in-law, the princess' daughter-in-law, and the champion son-in-law all said that my mother was not kind, virtuous, or kind."

"I really don't understand, what's wrong with a concubine setting rules in front of his first wife? Is that inappropriate?"

The confusion in Xu Huiniang's eyes became more intense, as if she suddenly opened up the chatterbox, "I quarreled and quarreled, but everyone said I was wrong. Aunt Qin is honest and kind. She is my father's most beloved woman, so she cannot be treated as an ordinary concubine! She never thought of competing with my mother for the position of wife, so my mother is not virtuous when she criticizes her! To say that Aunt Qin is not good is vicious! My mother has to hold her, support her, and be grateful to her... thank her for allowing my mother to sit in the seat of Mrs. Cifu!"

"My mother has to give up my father, she is so grateful to my father and Aunt Qin for their tolerance from time to time, she can't steal my father's attention, it is Aunt Qin's pity that she can die peacefully in the position of Mrs. Second Assistant. "

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, why are things that are against common sense taken for granted in their eyes? Are they regarded as proof that my father treats my mother well?"

Xu Huiniang rubbed her temples as if she was confused, and said with a pale face struggling: "I can't think like this, I can't think of Aunt Qin too badly, I can't...she is good, she is good, she didn't compete with my mother for his wife Fame!"

The pity in Zeng Rou's heart was even stronger. The daughter of a prominent family was forced into this appearance by the true love of Aunt Qin and Xu Cifu... The conflict between ethics and reality made Xu Huiniang at a loss as to what to do.

"That's not the case with other people, right? You are also the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and you have met many people, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Huiniang closed her eyes in pain, "I have seen and seen a lot, but I dare not say it, because I was 'rewarded' by Xu Danniang for today, I have to be grateful to her, my mother is alone in the vacant room...it is her She is not virtuous, not loving, does not understand my father, she deserves what she deserves, my maternal ancestor's family was the emperor's teacher, once prominent, it was my father who took the initiative to come to ask to marry my mother back then, the marriage between the Xu family and the emperor's teacher made us what we are today , but my father said, my mother will never understand what he thinks. It's funny to say that Aunt Qin understands him. A lowly woman who sells herself as a slave can understand the children of a famous family and the second assistant of the court. This... said Who will believe it?"

"They are true love."

"Don't insult the word true love!"

Xu Huiniang burst into tears, "I would rather not have such a father who truly loves Aunt Qin, Madam Zeng, I have never laughed at you, and when everyone in the capital thought you were not worthy of Yang Shilang, I didn't think you should give me Make way, sister."

"Although Xu Danniang has helped me a lot, helped me run away from Lord Hou's house, brought me into business together, and helped me intercede for my stupidity and savagery in front of my father, but I...but I only feel shame, I would rather suffer the consequences of my stupid idiot than thank Danniang Xu, she didn't ask me if I needed help, she just did it, and if I don't thank you, there are a bunch of people saying that I don't know how to reflect and think I don’t know how good Danniang Xu is!”

"Being Xu Danniang's older sister, being my father's daughter-in-law, and having Aunt Qin at home, what evil did I do in my previous life, and God wants to torture me like this in this life?"

"Even if Xu Cifu doesn't mention it, I know that the future hope of the Xu family is no longer on the shoulders of my elder brother, the eldest son-in-law, but on the shoulders of Xu Chaoyang, the eldest son-in-law. Every time I think of this, my heart hurts, my brother... It's not that he doesn't understand, but what can he do besides drinking?"

Zeng Rou asked, "Do you want to be Danniang Xu?"

"Who doesn't want to be her?" Xu Huiniang said bitterly: "other concubines are looking forward to throwing themselves into the womb of their aunt, but the Xu family... Sometimes I wonder if I would be Aunt Qin's daughter, wouldn't it be my daughter?" Everything I say is wrong in front of my father, and everything I do is wrong? I want to marry a noble son, Xu Cifu said that my mother taught me to love vanity, and Xu Danniang, she said which noble son is better, Xu Cifu said she Calm and good eyesight, I advised Xu Cifu to fill my brother's good vacancy. Xu Cifu told me that he can't abolish the public for personal reasons, and he can't lose the trust of the Holy Majesty, but Aunt Qin... Her brother is just a poor scholar, and now He has been released as a fourth-rank magistrate, without Xu Cifu's care, how could he have a smooth career in the officialdom?"

"Also, I begged Xu Cifu for my husband. He refused to help and told me to avoid going to my mother's house. He said that he didn't agree with the husband I was looking for. My mother forced me to marry me, so my life is good. Bad, he won't ask too much. But Xu Danniang is looking for Yang Yi...he is the champion, but he has you as his wife, and Xu Cifu has worked hard for Xu Danniang."

Xu Huiniang pursed her dry lips, and said hoarsely with red eye circles: "It's much more comfortable to cry out, but I dare not tell my brother about it, I'm afraid he will bore me to death, I dare not tell my mother, because I Mother... Until now, I still don't understand that Xu Cifu's heart is all on Xu Danniang and Aunt Qin. I don't want my mother to suffer the torture of understanding. Auntie is mad."

Zeng Rou had long expected that Xu Cifu's family would be different from the ordinary noble minister's family, but she didn't expect Xu Cifu to do this. It's simply... Zeng Rou couldn't describe Xu Cifu's scum!No wonder he would like Yang Yi. Maybe five years later, Yang Yi will be another Xu Cifu. No, Yang Yi’s true love is Xu Danniang. Xu Danniang and Aunt Qin.

To make up for his true love and the regret that the beloved daughter born of true love cannot be the legitimate wife and legitimate daughter.

So Xu Cifu was the last person who wanted to see Zeng Rou alive.

Zeng Rou handed the silk handkerchief to Xu Huiniang, and said softly, "I originally wanted to talk to your mother, but now it seems that it is unnecessary."

Handing the handwritten manuscript to Xu Huiniang, Zeng Rou persuaded: "Although your mother can live in confusion without suffering, I think it's better to let your mother understand as soon as possible."

"You wrote these?" Xu Huiniang can naturally see what Zeng Rou wants to do from the manuscript, "If the drama of Shanhe Lian sings in the capital, my father...he!"

"The Love of Mountains and Rivers doesn't involve Xu Cifu too much, it's the last volume."

Zeng Rou smiled and said, "It's useless if you tear it up, I can write a volume, but I can also write a lot."

"Are you going to destroy my father?"

"I just want to seek justice for Zeng Rou!"

Zeng Rou got up slowly, and said with concentration: "Don't you want to seek justice for yourself? Even if Xu Cifu was embarrassed and impeached by political opponents because of his other kind of doting concubine and killing his wife, the emperor will deal with it according to his discretion because of his past achievements. After all, Xu Chaoyang You are married to the emperor's favorite Princess Changling! Xu Cifu will come forward to defend... Do you think Xu Cifu dares to say that his first wife is not virtuous, so he really loves Aunt Qin?"

"He He……."

Xu Huiniang shook her head, "Don't dare."

"That's right, he didn't dare."

Zeng Rou said calmly: "I'm giving you the manuscript. I just want Xu Cifu to worry about me. If I hand these things over to Xu Cifu's political opponents... I'm afraid Xu Cifu will lose his skin if he doesn't die. Xu Huiniang, you can't rely on you." Xu Cifu, your father, is unwilling to help you, so how does his appointment as an official affect you? Will the Hou Mansion deny you?"

"Don't think that I deliberately let you kill each other. If you don't trust me, you can give these things to your mother. I think since she has a father who was an emperor teacher, she will be stronger than you imagined. Mother is strong, maybe she will understand sooner, you and your brother will not be ridden on the head by evildoers everywhere."

"I'll wait for you for three days. If I don't see the free scrolls distributed in the capital and operas such as Mountain River Love sung by actors in the capital after three days, I... will find someone else!"

Zeng Rou opened the door of the tea room and sighed: "Poor people must have something to hate. It's your weakness that can't find the fatal point, which makes them more and more presumptuous, and more and more think that true love is invincible. When you wake up, a man has to pay a price if he wants true love, Xu Cifu is by no means the same as now, he has both fame and power, and he can use his power to protect his true love concubine Aunt Qin!"

"I don't discriminate against true love at all. Maybe Xu Cifu and Aunt Qin see each other right, but why should their true love use their wives as a shield? Let their children be the footnotes of true love?"
