Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 438 Coincidence
At that time, the two sisters had just been sold into the Sifang Pavilion by the gambler father, Qing Ping was older, and she was slim and handsome, no matter in face or figure, she was no better than Cha, the top card in the Sifang Pavilion.Although Qing Ping was young, she was still a beauty, so the madam of Sifang Pavilion raised the two sisters as treasures.

Not only did they invite a master to teach them to play the piano and paint, but they also paid special attention to the reputation of the two sisters, and almost never let those guests touch them.But they understand that this is not because the madam is kind, but because they can bring her more benefits.

Finally, that day has come.Qing Ting watched helplessly as the fat man grabbed Qing Ping's waist and was about to go upstairs, but Qing Ping's face was pale, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were full of despair.

Just when Qing Ting was about to rush forward to push the man away desperately, a slightly cold voice sounded.

"This man wants it."

That man is Zhao Duo.Qing Ping's eyes lit up, and in an instant Zhao Duo was her god, the god who could save her from the sea of ​​suffering.It's a pity that Qing Ping didn't notice the indifference in Zhao Duo's eyes at that time.

Qing Ting watched the fat man let go of the hand around Qing Ping's waist tremblingly, watched him fawning over Zhao Duo obsequiously, and watched Zhao Duo lead Qing Ping's hand to the private room on the second floor.

At that time, Qing Ting didn't know that Qing Ping was not heading towards rebirth, but destruction.

Afterwards, things became very logical. Zhao Duo entrusted Wang Yuanwai to redeem the bodies for the two of them. Qing Ping happily brought Qing Ting to live in Zhao Duo's mansion.

Qingping's shy and happy smile is still deeply engraved in Qingting's memory, at that time Qingpin's every frown and smile revealed a feeling of happiness.Although Qing Ting was happy for her, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. After all, she was just a bystander that day, but there are some things that only the bystanders can see most clearly.

In Zhao Duo's eyes, there was no sympathy for Qing Ping at all, and the cold indifference made Qing Ting panic.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Duo sent Qing Ping to the palace, and she was sent to another garden on the outskirts of Beijing, where Zhao Duo used it as a bargaining chip to threaten Qing Ping.

"Actually, you don't have to detain me. My sister is willing to do anything for you. How about you? Do you like my sister?" It was the first time Qing Ting spoke to Zhao Duo. She was already terribly scared, but there was always a force in her body supporting her, no matter what, she had to ask her sister clearly.

Zhao Duo was stunned by the question, but soon he smiled mockingly and said, "Dare you bitch!"

Indifferent and heartless, at that moment Qingting felt deeply worthless for her sister.

"I didn't expect that he would kill her with his own hands. Even if he didn't have the slightest emotion, he shouldn't be so cold-blooded." Qing Ting pulled her hair in pain, as if she had returned to those gloomy days .

Seeing this, Jing Ning quickly restrained Qing Ting's wrist, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, it's all over."

Qing Ting gradually calmed down, she stared blankly at the front, that gaze seemed to penetrate the curtain of the car, and landed far away.

"I can't make it through, even if that beast apologizes with death, I can't make it through." Qing Ting's tone was very soft, but the chill in her voice made Jing Ning shiver slightly.

At this moment, a man's cry suddenly sounded outside the carriage: "Ting'er! I'm Daddy! Come out quickly!"

Jing Ning looked at Qing Ting, only to see that she frowned delicately, her eyes were full of hatred.Jing Ning understood in her heart, it seemed that the person outside the carriage was her gambler father.

"Ting'er! If you don't want to come out, you can borrow some money from Dad! They are asking for debts again! I have nothing to sell!" The man's cry was louder than louder.

Jing Ning raised the curtain and looked, and saw a man about forty years old kneeling in front of the carriage. The man was dressed in rags and his hair was messed up. He looked no different from the beggars on the street. The man was crying Kowtowing to Jing Ning's carriage.

Jing Ning frowned, how could it be such a coincidence that he just met Zhao Duo, and now he is meeting this gambler, presumably it was arranged by Zhao Duo.Jing Ning whispered a few words to the coachman and returned to the carriage.The coachman drove the carriage around the gambler and rushed towards the general's mansion.

The gambler seemed intent on chasing after him, but he couldn't run the carriage after all, and the sound of howls gradually faded away.

"Your father..."

"He's not my father!"

Jing Ning wanted to ask Qing Ting what she meant, but Qing Ting didn't expect Qing Ting to react so violently. She turned to Jing Ning, her eyes were a little scarlet, and she choked up and said, "Since the day he sold us, I haven't Dad."

Qing Ping began to cry before she finished speaking, Jing Ning felt sore, and patted her on the back lightly to comfort her.After half a cup of tea, the carriage finally arrived at the General's Mansion, and no one stopped him on the way. Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and finally brought him back safely.

After instructing his servants to take care of Qing Ting, Jing Ning went back to her yard and summoned Luo Hua.

"Miss, what's your order?"

"Keep an eye on Zhao Duo, tell me immediately if he has any suspicious actions." Jing Ning said in a deep voice.Although she saved Qing Ting today, according to Zhao Duo's temperament, whether it is Qing Ting or herself, the days to come will definitely not be safe, and Zhao Duo is ambitious, Jing Ning is worried that he will treat Song Yuan again. start.

Luo Hua took the order and retreated. Jing Ning felt a little sleepy, so she called Wen Xing to wait for her to sleep.

Lan Yao came to the General's Mansion early in the morning of the second day, and discussed with Jing Ning about worshiping the ancestors.

Worshiping ancestors is a major event in Zhao State. It happens every five years. At this time, the emperor needs to lead his clan children and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to climb Lishan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing to worship ancestors. This year happens to be the year of ancestor worship.

"This year's ancestor worship is just in time, and there is a temple fair held in Lishan Mountain in recent days, so we can go and have a look at it after taking us to worship the ancestors." Lan Yao excitedly talked to Jing Ning about the wonderful things about the temple fair , as if she had been there herself.

Jing Ning listened helplessly to Lan Yao's chatter, but secretly worried.Song Yuan must not be able to evade the matter of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and he will definitely leave the palace at that time, the defense outside the palace is not as strict as in the palace, if Zhao Duo takes action during this period, Song Yuan may be in trouble.

"What are you thinking? Come back to your soul!" Seeing that Jing Ning didn't speak, Lan Yao stretched out her hand and shook it slightly in front of her, and finally called Jing Ning's soul back.

Jing Ning smiled and shook her head slightly, she didn't want to involve Lan Yao in these matters, so the less Lan Yao knew, the safer she would be.

"You don't want to be lazy even to worship your ancestors, do you?" Lan Yao stared at Jing Ning with wide eyes, as if frightened by her own thoughts.
