frivolous princess

Chapter 172

After listening to Fifth Aunt's story, Shangguan Fuxue was visibly stunned.

Fifth Yiniang's real name was Lin Manrou. Her father was born as a commoner, and she had ambitions since she was a child. When she married her mother for less than three months, she resolutely joined Nangong Qingtian's command.He does not have strong military talent, but with "diligence can make up for weakness" and years of combat experience, he finally became a prominent figure in the Nangong Camp.Five years ago, Nangong Qingtian misjudged the situation and reached an agreement with He Liancheng from the Flame Kingdom, plotting to eradicate Shangguanjie.Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jie saw the clues in the grain and grass, and a fast horse directly reported it to the emperor.But before the emperor made a decision, the Nangong family had already been betrayed by He Liancheng and hacked to death.And the emperor took advantage of this to kill Nangong Qingtian's cronies.Fifth Yiniang's father was implicated because of this. In order to keep his only daughter, he made a contract with Shangguan Jie and married his daughter to Shangguan Jie as his concubine.Then, both of them raised their knives and committed suicide.

When Wu Yiniang came to the General's Mansion, she regarded herself as someone who had died once, she put aside all the past, and she kept her mouth shut when she was in front of others.General Na Lin, a simple and kind man, spent half of his life on the battlefield and never entered the house.And Fifth Yiniang and her mother rarely mentioned him to anyone, so very few people really knew about their relationship.The Shangguan family only knew that a letter from Shangguan Jie had suddenly sent someone to take Fifth Yiniang into their home. As for her background, they didn't mention a word.

Shangguan Fuxue never imagined that Fifth Yiniang was also affected by the accident five years ago.She once doubted Wu Yiniang's intentions when Wu Yiniang saved Third Yiniang, but after thinking about it carefully, it was for her own child.This is all understandable.

The twists and turns of Wu Yiniang's life experience still made Shangguan Fuxue feel sad for a while.

Fifth Yiniang's eyes were full of wetness, "Miss San, the reason why I told you this is that I hope you can understand, I can understand what you have experienced. When I came to this house, I knew nothing about it. I know. But before my father and my mother died, they warned me again and again to live carefully, even if it was to live in an ignoble way. If it were the same as before, I would feel how contemptuous it is to live in an ignoble way. But after going through my After the death of my parents, I suddenly understood that human life is fragile, especially in front of the strong. The day I got married, I was only 16 years old, and the general was already in his 40s. Do you know how scared I was that day? He's like someone who doesn't know..." Tears welled up in her eyes, she suppressed a breath, and sighed: "Uncle."

"Although he didn't show up that day, the days of waiting for him to show up were an extremely long period of suffering. I wanted to calm myself down and face everything calmly, but I couldn't do it at all. Until the day of the real bridal chamber , I have never really been at peace. In order to survive, I left a lot of things I am proud of. I was just like you now, full of youth and vigor, and full of longing for the future."

"Originally, I thought that if I gave up fighting for it, she would ignore my existence. Maybe it was because of the newlyweds. The general loved me very much at that time. I used to be trembling about it, and I was also complacent about it. I thought the general Doting on me would be a kind of protection, but I didn't expect that it was also a source of jealousy. It didn't take long before strange things began to happen around me. Although I was careful, I still lost my first child. Losing the first After I had a child, I suddenly realized that the danger was never far away. So, from then on, in order to live a good life, I had to live carefully every day. Especially after I had Ruier, I was even more careful."

"Miss San, whether I am a friend or a relative in your eyes, I believe that you are someone I can rely on. Maybe you have gone through many things and you are no longer the original you, but I believe that, Your heart is still hot."

"Fifth Yiniang, I..." Shangguan Fuxue's chest suffocated. In her eyes, Fifth Yiniang has always been a weak person. Although she occasionally has scheming and feudalism, it is for her own children.She has always regarded Wu Yiniang as a friend, but she has never really understood Wu Yiniang, nor has she ever had such a heart-to-heart talk.Fifth Yiniang is showing her heart and soul to her now, obviously she values ​​her very much.But Wu Yiniang's true temperament made Shangguan Fuxue feel a little at a loss.But she knew clearly that the man in front of her was sincere to her.

"Miss San," Mrs. Meng came in suddenly with melons and fruits, and seeing Shangguan Fuxue and Wu Yiniang looking at each other tearfully, she couldn't help but pause, a little confused, "What's wrong with you two?!"

Shangguan Fuxue wiped away her tears, and seeing Meng's bewildered look, she suddenly felt kind and funny, and couldn't help laughing through her tears, "It's nothing."

Meng's face was still blank, she looked at Shangguan Fuxue, then at Fifth Yiniang, "Why are you crying like this?"

Fifth Yiniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and smiled bitterly, "Sister San, it's really nothing. I just told Miss San some old things."

"Old things?" Meng Shi smiled, then was taken aback, "You just called me... Third Sister?"

Fifth Yiniang was also taken aback, and slowly lowered her hand wiping her tears, "Sister San, what's wrong?"

Meng Shi twitched the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "It's nothing, you haven't called me that for a long time."

Fifth Yiniang froze, and looked at Meng Shi awkwardly, "Third Sister, you were Rui'er's wet nurse before, and I took you in secretly, so I didn't dare to let others find out, so I treated Third Sister a bit more. Later, the third sister came to take care of the third lady, and I was worried that you would be embarrassed, so I dare not call you 'third sister' until today."

Meng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled easily, "Fifth Sister, I'm very happy to hear you call me that again."

Fifth Yiniang came up to hold Meng Shi's hand, "Third Sister, I am also very happy."

The three of them said some more thoughtful words in the room, and before they knew it, it was evening.

The last bit of golden color faded from the sky, and the servants lit up lanterns in the village one after another. For a while, the red candles were shining brightly, reflecting the colorful summer flowers in the courtyard.

Mother Su asked someone to tell her that the three of them had dinner together in the evening.

Shangguan Fuxue roughly guessed that at night, the old lady and Shangguan Jie would discuss the Empress Dowager's birthday.Shangguan's family was the only ones who got the upper hand, Shangguan Yun, Shangguan Ming and Shangguan Jie.If it is not a big scene, it is rarely seen.In the two houses of Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Ming, each has an adult male, who has inherited the Confucian temperament of their respective fathers, and they are both talented and well-behaved people.Among the daughters, the only one she had an impression of was Shangguan Ming's sixth daughter - Shangguan Miaoyun.

Thinking of Shangguan Miaoyun, Shangguan Fuxue didn't pay attention to her when she sacrificed just now, but only vaguely remembered that her appearance had the gentle temperament of a southern woman, but she didn't look weak.The reason why I think she is outstanding is that in my memory she never blindly follows some issues and has her own ideas and opinions.Apparently, though, such traits were not favored in her family.On the contrary, Shangguan Fuxue admired it very much.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is just like the previous Lanting Yahui, no matter whether it is to compete for strength or talent, it is nothing more than a gathering for the upper class to get a higher position or consolidate their status.Shangguan Fuxue thought of a large group of people trying their best to please a few people, it was really ridiculous.But, whether it's ridiculous or sad, the reality is like this, and she has become one of them now.Judging from the current situation, the old lady and father are likely to push themselves out, depending on the means used.

"Miss San, what are you thinking?" Fifth Yiniang looked at her with a smile, Shangguan Fuxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing." Fifth Yiniang pointed to the front, "We're almost here. Don't get lost in thoughts."

Fifth Yiniang's fingers are slender and slender, and the Koudan on her nails looks like a bright red from dried blood, which is really beautiful.

Shangguan Fuxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Fifth Yiniang's hands are really pretty."

"Huh?" Fifth Yiniang was stunned for a moment, then proudly opened her hand to the light, the light reflected her hand red, but there was a different look on the lower part of the right palm, Shangguan Fuxue was taken aback for a moment, "How can there be calluses on Wu Yiniang's hands?"

Fifth Yiniang glanced at it, and there was a strange flash in her eyes, she still smiled and said: "Miss San, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my family used to farm land, but after my father was gradually employed in the army, my family's situation improved. This cocoon was ground out with a pickaxe for a long time. Later, when I married into the general’s mansion, I used some grease and seldom did heavy work, so the cocoon became much thinner.”

Shangguan Fuxue fell silent for a while, and Fifth Yiniang asked suspiciously: "Miss San, is there something wrong?" Yes, Shangguan Fuxue thought.

Fifth Yiniang smiled like a flower, "Then let's go in quickly."

After the previous incidents, Mrs. Shangguan's attitude towards Shangguan Fuxue has improved a lot. When she saw Shangguan Fuxue walking in, the smile on her face became a bit fuller, and a pair of eyes sized up Shangguan Fuxue's face. Stop, "Miss San's face is even better than before."

The second wife of Shangguan hurriedly echoed: "It's true, I was busy with sacrifices just now, so I haven't looked at it seriously. Looking at it now, it's really beautiful. Miss San, your 'half-face makeup' is really getting more and more ingenious. Half of the good face melted together. Even if I looked at it, I couldn't figure it out. Miss San's make-up skills are simply superb. If you have time some other day, can you teach me this aunt too? This person is fucked With age, there are always some unsatisfactory spots on the face, which can't be covered up even with makeup. If you learn from Miss San, you won't have to worry about it in the future."

Shangguan Fuxue smiled noncommittally, "If Second Aunt likes it, Fuxue is of course willing to help."

The second wife of Shangguan and the first lady of Shangguan exchanged a look, and was about to speak, when someone behind Shangguan Fuxue called out: "Sister third cousin!"
