Xiao Cui pushed Jia Zhen under a shady tree,
Then she left with Bi Yan.
Not long after Xiao Cui and Bi Yan left,
Hong Xiu appeared,
She watched as he walked over faintly,
He stood in front of Jia Zhen, his eyes filled with sadness. "Master,"
Hongxiu let out a mournful cry.
Jia Zhen pursed his lips,
He looked at Hong Xiu,
He knew that..,
He had been schemed against again. That girl Xiao Cui..,
Was really outrageous. "What's the matter?"
Looking at Hong Xiu again, Jia Zhen felt that not only could he not feel pity for him,
He felt a little sick of it.
Who asked that violent woman to keep whispering those stories in his ear,
After the story of the Little Prince was finished,
The Xia Clan was keen on telling him another kind of story. The woman in the story,
Was simply not following the ways of a woman. She clearly had a very noble status,
She even insisted on marrying that man who was so much older than her. In the end, she even said something,
He was just joining this family,
And not breaking up this family,
It almost disgusted him to death.
Although he was not very good at his studies, he was still the head of the family in Ningguo Province. He immediately understood that woman's conspiracy. Indeed, her feelings for that man were real. However, since they were real, why did she have to flirt with someone else's son? The whole woman just enjoyed the situation of being surrounded by stars. Everyone had to pamper her. After all, her family was gone. She definitely had to do something exaggerated to make her presence known.
Jia Zhen now saw that woman who was as delicate and pitiful as that woman. He could not stand it.
Because he was thinking about the ridiculous things that Jia Zhen would do in the future, Xia Lu deliberately told Jia Zhen the story of Crescent Moon. After he finished, just as Jia Zhen was about to sigh about the invincibility of true love, Xia Lu began to talk about the irrationality of the story. What kind of lousy true love was invincible? For love, he abandoned his wife and cared about nothing. Other than selfishness, there was no love at all. His wife had sacrificed so much. The general had been fighting outside for many years. Not to mention taking care of everything in the family, big and small, it had taken a lot of effort to help the general's superiors.
It should be known that the general had spent countless amounts of food and fodder when he was fighting outside. As long as his superiors made things difficult for him, it would be a devastating blow to the general. It could be seen that the general's honor was not only earned by himself, but also by his wife's efforts. His wife had sacrificed so much, but the general had a change of heart. He was worse than an animal.
Jia Zhen was born in the family of a general, so he was very clear about the things in the army. He was very clear about the importance of food and fodder to former generals and soldiers. Even for a family like his, who was the grandmother of Mrs. Ning Guogong, he had put down his pride and lowered his head to the wife of the Minister of War, whose rank was not as high as his. The late Old Madam of Rongguo Province, who had nursed His Majesty, was also very polite to the wives of the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue. He was afraid that these people who were in charge of food and fodder would be slightly delayed. Even if it was just a few days, it was very important for the soldiers at the border.
It was said that little ghosts were difficult to deal with. Even though His Majesty treated the Rong and Ning Manors very well, it was really troublesome to deal with such troublesome little ghosts. Because of the story of Crescent Moon, Jia Zhen empathized with the wife. Not only did her Husband betray her, but her son also betrayed her. Even her daughter stood on the opposite side of her. In this story, the most sympathetic part was not the love story between the general and the woman, but the wife. Therefore, Jia Zhen increasingly disliked the woman who had the same character as the woman.
"What's the matter? Master's words are really cruel. "Hong Xiu smiled miserably, and tears immediately fell.
Jia Zhen pursed his lips and did not say anything. He felt even more disgusted. When he went back, he was going to properly punish Xiao Cui. What was all this about?
"Fortunately, I was grounded in the courtyard and copied scriptures every day. I still miss you and wonder if your legs have recovered. I really wanted to see you, but I didn't have the chance. When I finally had the chance, I waited for you to say this. What's the matter?" Hong Xiu wept like a pear blossom in the rain, as if she had given her heart to the wrong person.
Jia Zhen ridiculed in his heart. He believed that Hong Xiu missed him. After all, things were different now. He was married, and Hong Xiu was grounded. From the monthly salary that was delayed, it was obvious that Hong Xiu's life was not easy. However, he absolutely did not believe that Hong Xiu loved him deeply. If she could find out her whereabouts, it would not be difficult for her to ask a servant to pass him a letter. If she was afraid that the Xia Clan would find out, then that violent woman from the Xia Clan would go to Madam's every morning to learn how to manage a household. She would only come back in the afternoon.
Because of the baptism of Grandma QY's story, Jia Zhen was no longer the Jia Zhen of the past. He would always be biased against this kind of weeping, delicate, and pitiful woman, especially after Xia Lu talked about the New Moon and now talked about the Plum Blossom Mark.
"So?" Jia Zhen asked.
"Master, what do you mean?" Hong Xiu was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what Jia Zhen meant. She could not figure out the meaning of Jia Zhen's words. To be honest, Jia Zhen's reaction was completely different from what she had expected. In the past, as long as she showed such a sad expression, Jia Zhen's heart would definitely soften. But now, she was a little confused. It had only been two months, how could Jia Zhen change so much?
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhen was even more impatient. He suddenly missed the violent woman from the Xia Clan.
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, Young Master has Grandma to take care of him now. He doesn't need me. Just take it that I've misplaced my heart. Master, please send me to Zhuangzi. I don't want to stay here and be an eyesore to you and Grandma." Hong Xiu used her ultimate move. She was betting again. She did not believe that Jia Zhen would be so heartless to her in just two months.
"Since that's what you want, I'll fulfill your wish. Come with me, and I'll find a good man for you to marry. You can go back now. Aren't you still under house arrest?" Jia Zhen did not play by the rules. He had already seen through this woman's tricks. Threatening him? Wishful thinking. Since you want to go to Zhuangzi, I'll fulfill your wish.
"Master." Hong Xiu was stunned. She almost fainted. She lost her balance and sat on the ground. She knew very well what it meant to be sent to Zhuangzi. She thought that she could only be a servant forever, and the child she gave birth to would only be a servant. She was now Master's concubine. If she was lucky enough to give birth to a child, even if it was a bastard's son, he would be able to escape the status of a lowly servant. If he could be trained by Master, he might be able to participate in the imperial examination in the future and be conferred the title of Marquis. Even if he was the worst, he would be like those Jia family in the alley behind her. He would receive a monthly salary. With Ningguo Province behind her, no one would dare to bully him.
"What's wrong? I didn't do what you wanted. Aren't you happy? " Jia Zhen's mouth curved into an evil smile. Did she really think that he was stupid? How could he not see through such a blatant scheme? This woman was really not smart.
"Master, are you serious?" Hong Xiu could not believe it.
"Didn't you want to go? I'm just fulfilling your wish. "Jia Zhen was unusually cold at this time.
"No, I won't go. Master, I won't go. I can't go." Hong Xiu quickly knelt down. She was wrong, so wrong. No matter what, she could not go to Zhuangzi. If she went to Zhuangzi, there would be no future.
Jia Zhen looked at Hong Xiu hanging in front of him with gloomy eyes. Sure enough, he could not compare with her. They were both scheming against him. Even if the Xia Clan broke his leg and deliberately bullied her in front of the servants, he could not afford to be angry with the Xia Clan. Their schemes were straightforward and aboveboard. Sometimes, Jia Zhen would deliberately cooperate with him. He even pretended to deliberately make things difficult for the Xia Clan in front of others. Looking at her pretending to be virtuous in front of others, he felt happy. Then, when there was no one around, she would go back to being a lioness in front of him. He felt very amused.
He had met many women since he was young, no matter if they were the daughters of civil officials or the daughters of generals. This was the first time he met such a lively woman. This kind of liveliness was not on the surface. It came from the bottom of her heart. She had an unyielding soul. This kind of soul attracted him very much. Therefore, he was willing to cooperate with her.
Therefore, when that person said that the title of nobility was given to her, he suddenly wanted to give it a try. He hoped that that person's title of nobility was not given by Ningguo Province. Instead, it was earned by his hard work for that woman. When that woman received the title of nobility that he earned, she would definitely be very surprised.
Hong Xiu kept kowtowing to the Jia Zhen. She could not go. She could not lose everything she had now. If she married, everything would be gone. Her mother, father, and brothers were also there. Because she was the Jia Zhen's concubine, she received very good jobs. If she was sent to Zhuangzi, how could her parents and brothers keep those jobs? She was wrong. She should not be so impatient.
Looking at Hong Xiu's pleading, the Jia Zhen did not have a trace of softness. For a concubine like Hong Xiu, even if she had accompanied him for a long time, even if he doted on her very much, a concubine like Hong Xiu was still a concubine. As long as he did not like her, there would be more concubines at any time. After all, the Jia Zhen had grown up pampered. After being schemed against, he only sent her to Zhuangzi. He was already very merciful.
Hong Xiu was really scared this time. "Master, I beg you. Master, I was wrong. I should not have done this. It's all my fault. I was too careless. Please, Master, for the sake that I have served you for so many years, forgive me this time. I dare not do it again."
"Hong Xiu, this is not the only time you schemed against me, right? There was also during my wedding," the Jia Zhen reminded her.
Hong Xiu was stunned. That's right. During the wedding, she wanted to suppress her grandmother, so she deliberately asked the Bi Yan to find her master. Her master originally said that he would come, but in the end, he did not come. This time, he must have really fallen in love with her grandmother. Hong Xiu's eyes lit up. She said, "Master, it doesn't matter if you punish me, but grandmother, grandmother has only been married to you for two months. If you send me to Zhuangzi, outsiders will definitely think that grandmother is jealous and cannot tolerate concubines."
