Poor family's favorite wife

Chapter 456 Return to Dust ([-])

The eunuch next to the queen mother came to invite Prime Minister Xiao to come over, the queen mother wanted to see him.Prime Minister Xiao thought arrogantly, knowing that the Queen Mother would meet him.snort!Prime Minister Xiao followed the eunuchs to the Queen Mother's bedroom without hesitation. There was only the Queen Mother in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and the palace servants had already left.Prime Minister Xiao leaned over to pay respects to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said flatly: "You don't need to be too polite, Prime Minister Xiao is flat."

Prime Minister Xiao actually didn't call his father, Prime Minister Xiao held his breath in his chest.If she hadn't found the third concubine by herself, how could she have such a good life now.Now that she is the queen mother, she has forgotten Prime Minister Xiao's contribution.Why is this kind of person still my own daughter, "Prime Minister Xiao, I'm afraid you have something to ask Ai's family!"} "Empress Dowager, I am sure that the previous emperor was wrong, so I am.

It must be Duan Zhirui and Cui Moran who let the minister resign and return to his hometown in order to maintain the government.Also ask the empress dowager to call the shots for my minister! "Prime Minister Xiao knelt in front of the Empress Dowager tearfully, trying to make her sympathize with Prime Minister Xiao. But the Empress Dowager said with a straight face, "Prime Minister Xiao, this is really what the late emperor meant, and the late emperor also mentioned it to the Ai family.This matter is already the case, Prime Minister Xiao needless to say. "

Prime Minister Xiao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't believe it. You are also bewitched by them now, Empress Dowager, you can't just watch the old minister retire and return home." The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Prime Minister Xiao, do you still want How about it, do you think that the Ai family doesn't know your true thoughts. The Ai family still saves your life." One must be content, otherwise, don't blame the Queen Mother for being ruthless.

Lifting his head in disbelief, he took a deep breath.When did my daughter become so vicious that Prime Minister Xiao didn't know her, "Empress Dowager, I don't believe this old minister anymore, in your heart. The old minister's father is not important at all, and you don't want to kill him anymore. The old minister is your father, you have such an idea." Prime Minister Xiao was furious, if he had known this earlier, Prime Minister Xiao would not have found the third concubine.

Now let the third princess be angry with herself, "Father, in your heart, do you really regard Aijia as your daughter? I am afraid that my sister and I are your pawns. Will you really consider us? The Ai family still has some expectations, but now the Ai family will not. If Prime Minister Xiao mentions this matter again, then don’t blame the Ai family for disregarding the relationship between father and daughter. Prime Minister Xiao should know that the royal family has no family ties.”

Some are only the gifts of the officials, if Prime Minister Xiao is still unclear now.Then don't blame the Queen Mother for not leaving Prime Minister Xiao alive, Prime Minister Xiao returned to Xiao's mansion angrily.Mrs. Xiao thought that Prime Minister Xiao was now the head of the country, aloof, and specially asked the housekeeper to welcome Prime Minister Xiao.Mrs. Xiao greeted her with a smile: "Congratulations master, congratulations master." In fact, what Mrs. Xiao thinks is also human nature.

Their daughter became the current empress dowager, and their grandson became the king of the country. Naturally, Prime Minister Xiao's mansion also rose accordingly. In the capital, who would dare to show favor to Prime Minister Xiao and Mrs. Xiao.How many dignitaries want to curry favor with them, thinking that her birthday will be soon, Mrs. Xiao can take the opportunity to collect a lot of money.Mrs. Xiao felt very beautiful when she thought about it, but Prime Minister Xiao cast a cold glance at Mrs. Xiao.

Madam Xiao felt that something was wrong, "Master, what's wrong with you?"The Queen Mother should thank them. If Prime Minister Xiao hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, the Queen Mother and the little prince would not have appeared in front of all civil and military officials.Not to mention the prosperity and wealth of today, why is Prime Minister Xiao not so happy to see him.

"Madam, follow me!" Prime Minister Xiao strode ahead, Madam Xiao followed without hesitation to the study.Hearing what Prime Minister Xiao said, Mrs. Xiao raised her voice: "Master, how is it possible? Why did the Empress Dowager allow Duan Zhirui and Cui Moran to bully you? Why do you want to resign when you are old? Master, you have worked so hard to be an official in the capital for many years. Retire and return home, we will not!"

Mrs. Xiao was really angry and wanted to go to the Queen Mother, why didn't she help Prime Minister Xiao. "Okay, ma'am, don't get excited. It's useless to say anything now, the queen mother will not help me. She has already said very clearly that if I don't listen to her, you will be rude to me." "You're welcome , what else can I do? I don't believe that the Empress Dowager can deal with your biological father ruthlessly.

Master, you know if Cui Moran and Duan Zhirui are behind the scenes advising the empress dowager.The empress dowager has not experienced many things, so she may be bewitched by them.Master, otherwise, I will go to the palace to meet the empress dowager. "Prime Minister Xiao has no choice but to nod his head and let Mrs. Xiao enter the palace to try. I hope it will be useful, if not. Prime Minister Xiao will not just let it go, he finally got the right.

Who would give up foolishly, but Mrs. Xiao did not even see the face of the empress dowager when she entered the palace.At this moment, Mrs. Xiao fully realized that their days of suffering seemed to be coming.Weeping, Prime Minister Xiao arrived in front of Prime Minister Xiao, and Prime Minister Xiao scolded Mrs. Xiao distractedly: "Okay, I understand, get out quickly." "Master, what do you think we should do now? The Empress Dowager is really too ruthless. .”

Teeth itching with anger, the Empress Dowager teased the little emperor in the bedroom, but the little things about being with the former emperor still appeared in her mind, and she could never forget it.Today, I made up my mind not to see Mrs. Xiao, knowing that Mrs. Xiao was looking for me, it must be because of Prime Minister Xiao.It's just that the queen mother can't change it now, she can only feel sorry for Prime Minister Xiao.Now Prime Minister Xiao can honestly retire and return to his hometown, and he can also spend his old age in peace.Otherwise, the Queen Mother might not be able to keep Prime Minister Xiao, Duan Zhirui and Cui Moran are now in charge of the country.

Before his death, the late emperor only believed in these two people, and there was no other trustworthy person in the court.Since the first emperor trusted people, the queen mother should also trust them without any leeway, otherwise she would also live up to the first emperor's great trust.Soon a month passed, and the capital slowly fell to the ground. Prime Minister Xiao refused to resign his old age and return to his hometown.Cui Moran and Duan Zhirui also had a hard time making a choice, and in the end they could only ask the Queen Mother, who gave the order to kill their relatives righteously.

After driving Prime Minister Xiao's family away from the capital, they will never be able to set foot in the capital again.When Prime Minister Xiao heard the news in his study, he immediately aged a lot.Mrs. Xiao carefully accompanied Prime Minister Xiao, she really did not expect it to become like this. "Ma'am, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled." The glory and wealth that is at your fingertips is about to be given up like this. In fact, the queen mother has not made such a big determination.

Duan Zhirui told the queen mother about the real husband and wife relationship between Prime Minister Xiao and Xiao Shi, the queen mother was stunned for a long time.The Empress Dowager has been kept in the dark about this matter, and she always thought that Xiao Shi was the Empress Dowager's aunt since she was a child.How do you know that Prime Minister Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were once husband and wife, maybe even Mrs. Xiao doesn't know about it.The Queen Mother finally decided to drive Prime Minister Xiao's family out of the capital, and from then on, leave the capital and stay away from them.

Maybe I can slowly forget it, but I just feel sorry for Mrs. Xiao.Before Prime Minister Xiao and Mrs. Xiao left the capital, the queen mother specially summoned Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao appeared in front of the queen mother in plain clothes.Looking at her daughter who was pregnant in October, Mrs. Xiao was full of resentment. "I have seen the empress dowager, thousands of years old." With such a distant tone, the queen mother felt a little sad.

But now that she is the queen mother, there are many things that must be faced and endured. "Mrs. Xiao, you don't need to be too polite. Come here and show Mrs. Xiao a seat." Mrs. Xiao still hasn't figured out why Prime Minister Xiao is sorry for the Queen Mother.The queen mother wanted to drive their family out of the capital, Madam Xiao wished she had never given birth to the queen mother.It feels bad to be persecuted by his own daughter. Prime Minister Xiao is getting older and older now.

Especially the gradually increasing gray hair made Mrs. Xiao resent the Queen Mother. "Mrs. Xiao, the Ai family asked you to enter the palace today, just to see you before you leave." "The Empress Dowager, I can't afford to be a concubine." Mrs. Xiao quickly bowed and saluted. "Mother, do you still hate me?" The Empress Dowager put down her body and looked at Mrs. Xiao pleadingly. Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips: "The empress dowager is a mother, and I can't bear it."

"Mother, I know that you hate me in your heart, but mother. You have shared the bed with your father for more than 20 years, and you really understand and trust your father that much." What does the Queen Mother mean by this, Mrs. Xiao stared at the Queen Mother subconsciously : "What do you mean by that?" "Mother, it means literally, maybe father has something to hide from you, you never knew about it, do you think it is possible?"

"Of course it's impossible. It's impossible for your father to lie to me. You still want to provoke the relationship between our husband and wife. Empress Dowager, we have to leave the capital, and you are still unwilling to let us go. Do you still want us?" How about it, do you want us two elders to die in front of you, so you are willing." Mrs. Xiao glared angrily at the queen mother in front of her, who sighed.

"Mom, do you think I'll look good? I remember that my mother was very kind to me and my sister when I was a child. I will think of me and my sister when I have any good things. I swear in my heart that if I grow up, I will definitely be filial. Mother. To repay my mother’s kindness in raising me since I was a child, it’s just my mother. Do you remember later? You gradually alienated us, and your heart is all on your father, even if your father often visits my aunt’s yard.

You are still waiting hard for your father to come back, and you don't pay much attention to me and my sister.I don't know if my sister and I still have a place in your heart.But in our hearts, you are always there.I don't want to lie to you either, do you really think that aunt and father are brother and sister? "It's time to tell Madam Xiao that it's not fair to keep Madam Xiao from telling the truth. Why should Prime Minister Xiao live with such peace of mind.

Mrs. Xiao said in disbelief: "What on earth are you trying to say? They are not brother and sister, what is that?" Mrs. Xiao, who had never thought about this question, stared at the Queen Mother, who said flatly: "They are husband and wife. Think about it! To be honest, I was also very surprised when I heard the news, if my mother doesn't believe it, you can look at this." Handed the marriage letter that Mrs. Xiao gave to Duan Zhirui before she died, and handed it to Mrs. Xiao.

For a moment, Mrs. Xiao really wanted to leave the Queen Mother's bedroom.It would be fine if you don't have to face the Queen Mother, but the more you don't want to face it, the more afraid you will be.But Mrs. Xiao slowly stretched out her hand towards the Queen Mother, took the marriage certificate handed over by the Queen Mother, opened it and looked at it.Mrs. Xiao covered her chest with her hands, "It's not true, it's not true, you lied to me. It was you who made people forge it, and now you are the high-ranking queen mother.

It is entirely possible for you to forge this marriage certificate.You lied to me, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. "I can't accept this fact at all. Mrs. Xiao has been kept in the dark all these years. Mrs. Xiao cares more about Xiao's sister-in-law than her own daughter. Now Mrs. Xiao has been married to Prime Minister Xiao, "Mother, I won't lie to you, but I don't want you to be deceived by my father again, so you should recognize it earlier. "

The queen mother walked slowly to Madam Xiao's side, and gently helped Madam Xiao to sit down.Mrs. Xiao's face was pale, her eyes were confused, and she still felt that it was impossible.The queen mother was destroying the relationship between their husband and wife, "Mother, could it be that I am really so vicious in your heart. Would I lie to you like this?" Mrs. Xiao remained silent. Of course, it is entirely possible. The current situation is already like this.

Prime Minister Xiao can change anything, nothing can be changed.Prime Minister Xiao is also plotting now, Mrs. Xiao can vaguely detect it.He has been hesitating, persuading Prime Minister Xiao, whether to stop.Once done, there is no going back.Now I listen to the Queen Mother telling me that Mrs. Xiao and Prime Minister Xiao used to be husband and wife.Mrs. Xiao really couldn't believe it, how could it be possible, they were obviously brothers and sisters.

Madam Xiao finally said calmly: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for telling me, I know. If Empress Dowager has nothing else to do, I will leave now." Standing up to leave, the Empress Dowager took Madam Xiao's arm: "Mother , why don't you believe my words. Don't be fooled by your father anymore, you won't think that I found someone to forge this marriage certificate?" Mrs. Xiao met the Queen Mother's calm eyes.

"Isn't it?" I felt a little helpless, how could I not tell Madam Xiao clearly. "Well, mother, I won't say much, as long as you know what's in your heart." Forget it, let's pretend that the queen mother never told Mrs. Xiao!Mrs. Xiao quickly left the Queen Mother's bedroom, watching Mrs. Xiao's back as she left.The Empress Dowager felt a little remorseful, she should not have mentioned this to Madam Xiao if she knew the result earlier.

It seems good to let Mrs. Xiao keep it in the dark.It's fine if you don't believe it now, along the way, Mrs. Xiao didn't know how she could get back.Returning to Xiao's mansion, he quickly came to Prime Minister Xiao's study.There are still two or three staff members in Prime Minister Xiao's study, and when they see Mrs. Xiao, they rush to greet Mrs. Xiao.Prime Minister Xiao waved his hand lightly: "Okay, you all go down and get ready!"

Mrs. Xiao must have something important to tell herself when she came back from the palace.Prime Minister Xiao retreated to the left and right, and came to Mrs. Xiao's side: "Madam, sit down quickly." After speaking, Prime Minister Xiao stepped forward to help Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao avoided Prime Minister Xiao's support.Looking at Prime Minister Xiao coldly: "Master, we have been married for more than 20 years, and I have something I want to ask Master, is it okay?" The words seemed serious.

Prime Minister Xiao nodded subconsciously: "Ma'am, there is no need to be so polite between us. What's the matter? Even if Madam asks, as a husband, I will know everything." It was really nice to say, "Master, Mrs. Xiao Is it really your sister?" Xiao Shi, isn't she already dead.Why did Mrs. Xiao mention Mrs. Xiao so gracefully, "Ma'am, why did you mention her?"

"Master, you just have to answer my concubine's words!" Mrs. Xiao had a straight face, and Prime Minister Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart.Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, "Ma'am, of course she is my real sister. Could it be false, did someone say something to Madam?" Prime Minister Xiao deliberately tested Mrs. Xiao, "Is it my real sister?" Madam Xiao Without directly answering Prime Minister Xiao's words, there are more and more questions.

Why did Mrs. Xiao change a lot when she entered the palace and came back.Surely someone in the palace said something to Mrs. Xiao. Could it be that Mrs. Xiao knew about her relationship with Mrs. Xiao.So what, Xiao Shi has passed away now.As long as Prime Minister Xiao is beaten to death and refuses to admit it, who can help Prime Minister Xiao?
"Madam, of course she is my own sister. Why, Madam doesn't believe my husband's words now. Madam, tell me, is someone talking nonsense in front of you? Madam, tell me, husband, now Go find him to settle the score!" Madam Xiao pursed her lips while blatantly provoking the relationship between Mrs. Xiao and Prime Minister Xiao: "My lord, I have been married to you for more than 20 years.

I know you well, I never thought that you would lie to me for so long.Xiao Shi is not your own sister, you look into my eyes. " Mrs. Xiao refused to admit it in front of the Queen Mother in the palace. It was because Mrs. Xiao felt ashamed. I have been ignorant of people these years, and the Queen Mother would not take out the marriage letter and say that for no reason. Mrs. Xiao's With a plan in mind, he was going to come back and question Prime Minister Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't tolerate the sand in her eyes, and Prime Minister Xiao was stunned, as if she didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to be like this. "Ma'am, why do you do this?" "Why did you keep telling me that you had married a wife earlier. I wouldn't have married you back then, you are too much." Madam Xiao stood up Ready to hit Prime Minister Xiao, Prime Minister Xiao put on a straight face, and stretched out his hand to tightly wrap Mrs. Xiao's arm.

"Ma'am, why do you trust other people instead of my husband's words. My husband has already made it very clear that Xiao Shi and I are brothers and sisters. What are you thinking about? Besides, Xiao Shi is no longer alive. Madam, is it useful for you to say this again?" Prime Minister Xiao was still defending himself, "Do you think someone else told me? Well, I won't keep it from you, the empress dowager told me herself.

She also took out the marriage certificate between you and Mrs. Xiao, do you think it was forged, the Empress Dowager intentionally made our relationship between husband and wife not harmonious, right? "Prime Minister Xiao guessed that it would be the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Xiao would not believe what other people said. It's just that I can't tear myself apart with Mrs. Xiao now. Prime Minister Xiao still needs to ask Mrs. Xiao. Prime Minister Xiao told himself in his heart, Be calm, calm.
