frivolous princess

Chapter 171
Shangguan Jie stopped in place, and was silent for a long time in ecstasy.He shook his head and said, "Mother, Xueer has indeed changed a lot recently." His voice was as low as a sigh, looking at the direction where Shangguan Fuxue left, he slowly said again: "It seems that that matter It was indeed a great blow to her. In addition, her mother was murdered by Liang Muhua..." He had a lump in his throat and didn't continue, thinking of Yun's death, thinking of Liang Muhua's tricks, He felt guilty for alienating their father and daughter for so many years.

Thinking of Yun's death, the old lady couldn't help feeling sorry, "This child has never lived a decent life since she was a child, and she has never even seen her mother. Now that she knows that the person who killed her mother was Liang Muhua, I feel bad, and I will inevitably think wrongly. If you still miss your precious daughter, you have to pay more attention to her in the future, so as not to let her make mistakes. This child, train her well, and she will be in the future. There are big promises. Don't delay."

Shangguan Jie nodded in agreement, "I heard that the Queen Mother is going to make a big fuss about this birthday banquet. Mother has always been close to the Queen Mother, do you have any plans in mind?"

"The third girl is a talented person. You are walking on thin ice. You should take this opportunity to push the third girl out. Not only let her bring happiness to our general's mansion, but also ease the string in the emperor's heart. What do you think?" ?”

Shangguan Jie thought for a while, then said: "Mother, this idea is good. But if you want to get the favor of the emperor and queen mother, it is a very headache."

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, "We are all getting old, so we should leave such troublesome things to their young people. I believe that girl Xue will not let us down."

"That's true." Shangguan Jie thought of Shangguan Fuxue's unexpected performances, and felt a little complacent in his heart, nodded with a smile: "If you want to push Xue'er in front of the emperor and queen mother, you must first pass the talent show. Talent show, if there is no new idea, it is very difficult to be outstanding. Xueer performed very well at the Lanting Ya meeting before. I believe that she is outstanding in this regard."

The old lady went on to say: "Let's take advantage of this incident to divert her attention, and ask her to stop worrying about those things and focus on the Empress Dowager's birthday, so that she can breathe a sigh of relief."

Shangguan Jie felt more agreeable, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling: "It's the best of course to have the best of both worlds." Speaking of this, Shangguan Jie frowned again unconsciously, "The Queen Mother's birthday originally required the concerted efforts of the entire Shangguan family. Well, now it seems that we can only count on our side."

"Your elder brother is the elder brother, and we had quarrels with us before we separated. He was originally supposed to make up the mind on such a big event as the Queen Mother's birthday, but now it's a little uncomfortable for him to cooperate with us. Fortunately, Both he and your second brother are Confucian scholars, although they are a bit old-fashioned, they will not cause trouble like their wives."

Shangguan Jie deeply agreed, "I would like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to discuss the matter of birthdays during dinner at night. Although it is said that 'a great craftsman can behave with others, he cannot make others clever', the elder brother and the second elder brother Although her children don't have Xue'er's spirituality, after all, they have both talents and virtues, so we should give them a chance to show off in such a scene."

"That's fine." The old lady nodded slightly, and then said: "After all, we are a family, regardless of face, we should also care about affection."

Shangguan Fuxue returned to her room, and Fifth Yiniang was already waiting in the room. Even though she saw that Shangguan Zirui was fine, she was still full of doubts.As soon as Shangguan Fuxue walked in, she saw her impatiently running towards her. Shangguan Fuxue frowned and said, "Fifth Yiniang, what happened?" Before Fifth Yiniang could speak, Shangguan Fuxue glanced at her and asked again : "How is the seventh brother?"

Fifth Yiniang felt a little uneasy, she took a look at Shangguan Fuxue, but forced a smile and said, "Rui'er is fine, but she was frightened and cried for a long time. After taking a nap, she has already fallen asleep." She suppressed her panic for a while , and anxiously said: "Miss San, what happened today? I heard you talk about Li Ya, and I feel..."

Fifth Yiniang stopped talking, not knowing what to say.

"That's right." Shangguan Fuxue said lightly, "The matter of Li Ya is not what you heard."

Fifth Yiniang's eyes were surprised, "So..." Her heart skipped a beat, "Is it Missy?!"

Shangguan Fuxue shook her head, "You're half right. To put it simply, there are two things that happened today. The first thing was provoked by Li Ya. She originally wanted to show her favor to me, so she revealed it to me. A secret of Shangguan Miaoyu. But she is not smart enough, not careful enough. Let Shangguan Miaoyu know, Shangguan Miaoyu wants to use Xiao Luo to threaten me and tell me to shut up. So she asks Liya to drug Xiao Luo, who knows Li Ya When you did it, you involved the seventh brother, and you almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, I found out in time that Xiao Luo and the seventh brother did not have any serious problems."

"Miss Fifth's secret?" Fifth Yiniang murmured, "What secret does Miss Fifth have that can be used as a gift by that girl?"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled noncommittally, "It may be that my recent performance caused her to misunderstand. Or Shangguan Miaoyu's recent performance made her worry about her future. She wants to change her master and find a way for herself. The best way out. That's why she revealed Shangguan Miaoyu's unbearable secret to me."

"An unbearable secret?" Fifth Yiniang was full of surprise, "Although Fifth Young Lady is a bit unruly and capricious, she has never acted out of line. What unbearable secret can there be?!"

This kind of affirmation made Shangguan Fuxue stop for a while, and after a while, she smiled lightly, "That is the secret that can overturn all your impressions of her!"

"..." Fifth Yiniang was a little dumbfounded for a while, and asked after a while: "What the third lady said is true? What is the secret?"

Shangguan Fuxue smiled mysteriously: "I think it's better for you not to know. It's rare that you are still in a good mood."

Fifth Yiniang's smile disappeared bit by bit. She stared blankly at Shangguan Fuxue for a long time, but finally gave up on asking, and changed her mind: "What about the other one?"

Shangguan Fuxue changed her face calmly, and said slowly: "I think it's better for you not to know about it. It was just a sudden accident on the road."

"Sudden accident?" Fifth Yiniang looked at her in disbelief, and looked at her silently for a long time. Her eyes were full of scrutiny but cautious, "Miss San, in your eyes, who am I?"

Shangguan Fuxue stared at her with a calm expression. After a short silence, she said, "In my eyes, Fifth Yiniang has always been my friend."

Fifth Yiniang's eyes flickered, "Why aren't they relatives?"

"In this family, friends are sometimes more reliable than relatives." Shangguan Fuxue's voice was calm, but her expression was determined and serious.

Fifth Yiniang suddenly smiled lightly, "Miss San is right, there are no relatives in this family. In order to seek their own interests, for the selfishness in their hearts, even their relatives can be hurt at will. In this In a family, only the strong have relatives, while the weak only have friends."

Shangguan Fuxue was startled, she was deliberately misinterpreting what she meant!But it just broke the reality, she couldn't help blurting out: "Fifth Aunt, you are right. In this family, the weak only have friends. And only the strong can protect the people they want to protect."

"Fifth Aunt," Shangguan Fuxue looked at her firmly, "In this family, you should not be weak. You still have a seventh brother." Some words are already self-evident.

Fifth Yiniang hid the bewilderment in her eyes, nodded and said: "Miss San, I understand what you mean." She continued: "I still want to know, who is Rui Er in the eyes of Miss San? "

"He is my younger brother, my own younger brother." Shangguan Fuxue sighed with sadness for no reason.

Fifth Yiniang finally had a smile in her eyes, "With Miss San's words, I feel relieved."

Shangguan Fuxue looked at her inexplicably, "I know, these days, you are all guessing me in your heart. Are you guessing, what kind of person have I become?" She couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "You are wondering I was thinking about the same thing when I was there. But I finally figured it out today. These days, I am really paranoid on some issues. But please forgive me, I really..."

Shangguan Fuxue was startled suddenly, wiped the corner of her eyes, and was surprised to find that she was in tears, and only then realized that she had almost spoken what was in her heart.These days, she tried her best to endure. In order to prevent others from hurting her, she had to wrap her true self tightly so that no one could see the slightest weakness.But at this moment, looking back suddenly, I realized that I had drifted away.

"I know." Fifth Yiniang suddenly hugged her into her arms, and gently patted her, "I know what you want to say." Shangguan Fuxue pressed against her arms, feeling even more heartwarming.In this world, how many people can hug her with a warm and sincere heart like Wu Yiniang now?Of course there are only a handful of them.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably, Shangguan Fuxue felt exhausted, she just wanted to nestle in this warm embrace, even if it was just for a while.

"Miss San, would you like to hear my story?" Fifth Yiniang asked suddenly.

"Your story?" Shangguan Fuxue raised her eyelids slightly and looked at her in a daze. In the original memory of "Shangguan Fuxue", Wu Yiniang married into the General's Mansion "quietly" five years ago.The reason why I say "quietly" is because Wu Yiniang was almost carried into the mansion in a sedan chair.Although taking a concubine is no better than marrying a wife, but after all, it is a wealthy family, no matter what, it will not lose appearance.But when this fifth aunt entered the door, she seemed very hasty, as if she had made a hasty decision.There was no banquet, no fuss, just a big red sedan chair was carried into Shangguan's house.Even Shangguan Jie was not at home that day.As for her life experience and origin, she has always been vague.This made Shangguan Fuxue feel strange.

Fifth Yiniang smiled miserably, lowered her head, and said slowly, "My father was originally a mighty general under General Nangong..."

Shangguan Fuxue was stunned.
