poisonous woman

Chapter 19
Mrs. Gao snorted heavily with an angry face, looked at her daughter again, calmed down, and comforted her: "She is a dead mother, so your father should care more. Well, don't be angry, don't you still My mother loves you." Thinking of my treasured dowry, "In this way, if my mother has a mink fur, let the tailor take it and make one for you, it must be better than Rong Zhao's."

Rong Xi couldn't help smiling when she heard that, hugged her, and said coquettishly, "Mother still loves me." There was a trace of coldness in her eyes, and she turned to say: "It's just Rong Zhao...Father asked her to learn housekeeping from mother now, what does that mean? Isn't she going to take care of the Hou Mansion in the future? If she knows her mother's dowry--"

"Shhh—" Mrs. Gao put her finger on her lips, interrupted her, and glanced to the two sides. Nanny Fang understood, and beckoned away with the servants in the house, leaving only the two of them.

Gao lowered her voice and whispered to Rong Xi's ear, "You must not let Rong Zhao know about this matter. If you let her know that I have mortgaged her mother's dowry in cash, she will not be able to give the Marquis's house to you." Falling out of heaven? Not only her, but even your father won't be able to spare me."

"Since mother knows the consequences, why don't you hurry up and make up for the pawned things." Rong Xi's expression had a deepness that didn't belong to her age, "Although Rong Zhao has no heart, the old lady is worried. That's right, I'm arresting you everywhere, if she finds out about it, don't make it public, then how will my mother gain a foothold in the mansion."

Mrs. Gao nodded, and when she mentioned the old lady, she felt her chest was tight, "This damn old woman, she can't wait to stare at me from the back of her head. If she and Mrs. Lin hadn't sang together yesterday, how could your father have thought of letting Rong Zhao learn to be a housekeeper?" After a pause, she said again: "I don't know why, since Rong Yao's incident, I seem to have changed a lot when looking at Rong Zhao. I can't tell where it is, but I feel that the way she looks at me is not the same as before. Pure. And during this period of time, I didn't do anything well, so I wondered if many things had to do with her. "

Rong Xi recalled Rong Zhao's performance during this period of time, and didn't think there was anything wrong, "No, she is still the same, thinking that she is the proud daughter of heaven, arrogant like a peacock. Mother, You worry too much, Rongzhao doesn't have a brain in the first place, how could there be any changes, she is still played by our mother and daughter in the applause."

After all, Rong Xi is young, not as clear as Gao Shi, who overlooked a lot, because she usually thinks too much of herself, thinking that she has a lot more insight than Rong Zhao, so she can completely grasp her.

Hearing her daughter's persuasion, Gao dispelled the remaining worries in her heart, and felt relieved of Rong Zhao, only thinking that she was thinking too much.

However, she was not without suspicion at all, and she added a warning, "Although that is the case, you should be more careful when you are with her. She is stupid, but others are not. It is hard to guarantee that no one will use her as a weapon against us."

"Okay, I got it." Gao's instruction made Rong Xi feel a little wordy, so she impatiently perfunctory.In a blink of an eye, she grabbed Gao Shi's sleeves tightly and stared at her excitedly, "Mother, I heard that cousin will return to court soon?"

Gao Shi pursed her lips in joy, the child told her that others didn't care, thinking of her cousin's eyes seemed to be filled with stars.Gao patted her forehead lightly, "You little brain, so this is what you've been thinking about all day long." Pretending to be sad, she stroked her chest and said sadly, "Oh, I'm so sad, I This mother is not as important as my cousin."

"Mother—" Rong Xi acted coquettishly with a long voice, her face blushed and she showed her shyness, "Cousin is not as important as mother, but he has been away for half a year, so I will inevitably worry, and of course I hope he will come back soon. "

Gao Shi smiled without saying a word, just looked at Rong Xi, could the matter in her heart escape her eyes?
It's just... Gao's smile gradually faded.

A few days ago, she went to the palace to visit Concubine Wen, and when chatting with Concubine Wen, what she said seemed to mean that she fell in love with Rong Zhao as her daughter-in-law.

She knew that Concubine Wen's eyes were nothing more than Ronghou's Mansion and Duke Huguo's Mansion behind Rong Zhao, and the Holy Majesty loved Rong Zhao very much. If she could marry the third prince, she would definitely compete for the throne in the third prince's place. Fill in some help on the road.

Although her own daughter is her own niece, what is it compared to rights?
"Mother, something happened to my cousin, right?" Seeing her downcast face, Rong Xi thought something happened to Xiao Jinyu.

Gao hurriedly said, "No, your cousin is fine." Her hand stroked Rong Xi's beautiful hair, "The day before yesterday your aunt said that she had arrived in Fuyang."

Rong Xi was very happy, and counted with his fingers, "Fuyang is very close to here, only two or three days' journey. If I arrived at Fuyang the day before yesterday, I should arrive in two days in terms of time."

She was very proud, and she had a proud attitude, "This time the victory over Vietnam, my cousin, as the warlord, has contributed a lot, and the Holy One will definitely appreciate it."

Gao learned from Concubine Wen that the Holy Majesty already intended to crown the eldest prince and the third prince as kings, so she told Rong Xi about it.

Rong Xi was even more delighted to hear that, if her cousin became king and married her again, wouldn't she be the princess?If the cousin can go to the next level and become the emperor, then she will be the queen.

But when he thought that His Majesty was going to crown the eldest prince as king, he pouted and said disdainfully: "The eldest prince was born of a slave, and he can also be crowned king with his cousin. It's really flattering him."

Whether the eldest prince is crowned king, neither Concubine Wen Gui nor the Gao family will care. Anyway, with the eldest prince's background, coupled with his unsightly appearance, it is absolutely impossible for him to become emperor. Even if he became king, he would not be a threat to the third prince.

And now the eldest prince is recorded under the name of Concubine Wen Gui, after all, she is also her adopted son, if her two sons are crowned king, she will not be honored.Even if it is a queen, seeing her two sons who are crowned kings, she should be courteous to her.

Facing Rong Xi's cynicism towards the eldest prince, Gao Shi didn't take it seriously, but said: "Whoever makes someone know how to fight, the military exploits are great, and the several battles in the Great Zhou Dynasty are all due to him. It will be a matter of time before he becomes king."

"It's great to be able to fight? He's just a warrior!" Rong Xi snorted, comparing him with his cousin in his heart, and felt that there was a world of difference between Yangchun Baixue and Xia Liba people.Thinking of her cousin, the corners of her mouth could not help but raise a good-looking arc, "Cousin is different, he is born noble, capable of literature and martial arts, and is also known as the most beautiful man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is loved by the emperor, he is simply perfect Unlike that reckless man who wears a mask all day long, so he can't see anyone."

She turned around and said with a bad smile: "Mother, if Rong Zhao is married to him, will she die of anger immediately? I guess she will find a rope to wipe her neck and hang herself."
