Eldest Miss You heard that Nanny Chun had come to deliver the news,
She finally heaved a sigh of relief. She had been living in the Qian family these days,
She had received preferential treatment from her aunt.
However, the matter that her aunt had instructed her to do,
There was no movement at all, which made her very afraid. Now that it had finally come, Eldest Miss You finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Miss, are you really going to be the concubine of the heir of Ningguo Province?" Caiyi, who had followed Eldest Miss You since she was young, was a little worried.
"Do I have a better way out now?" Eldest Miss You sighed, lamenting her bad luck.
Fate was unfair.
If her father had passed away two years later,
She would have already been married.
She did not need to be tortured by her stepmother.
"But Miss,
We really don't understand the character of the heir of Ningguo Province.
In fact, your cousins in the Qian family have a good impression of you. Why don't you be the concubine of the Qian family's cousins?
The old lady is your aunt.
She is also the favorite of the Qian family's cousins.
You can completely establish yourself in the Qian family. It's not like going to Ningguo Province, where you still need to struggle alone. "Caiyi looked at Eldest Miss You and felt a burst of heartache. Her Miss was the eldest legitimate daughter of a third-grade official. Now, she could only be reduced to being someone else's concubine. If the old master was still here, he would definitely feel sorry for her.
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Eldest Miss You glared at Caiyi fiercely. She knew very well why her aunt had brought her here. Like the Qian family, her uncle had passed away, and the Qian family's situation had deteriorated. However, the Qian family was better than the You family. The Qian family still had a few sons to support their family. Most importantly, they had a marriage with Ningguo Province. Although Ningguo Province was noble, in the early years, whether it was Duke Ning or Ning Guogong, they were all people who had made outstanding contributions. Ning Guogong and Rongguo Province, which was of the same origin as them, were all families in the imperial heart. However, her cousin, who had married the heir of Ningguo Province, had already passed away. If the Qian family wanted to continue to rope in Ningguo Province, they could only continue to send women over.
However, in this generation, other than her cousin, there were no other suitable women in the Qian family. As for the distant relatives, when the time came, it was hard to say whether the support of Ningguo Province would be given to the distant relatives or the Qian family. Therefore, her niece, who had just passed away and had no one to rely on, was the most suitable candidate.
Although her aunt treated her well now, it was because she hoped that she would remember the kindness that the Qian family had treated her well. When she received the favor of the heir of Ningguo Province, she would be able to help the Qian family. If she became the concubine of one of the Qian family's cousins today, her aunt would be the first one to fall out with her when she saw that her plan was disrupted. How could she expect to receive her aunt's favor? Don't be kidding. As for the cousins of the Qian Family, seeing that the cousins of the Qian Family had a lot of concubines, she knew that they were not sentimental. In this case, she might as well go to the Ningguo Mansion to take a gamble.
"Miss …" Caiyi was a little helpless. She really felt that the Qian family was better. After all, they were familiar with the Qian family. Ningguo Province was a big family with a big business, and they were unfamiliar with the people and the place. When the time came, they did not know how much hardship they would have to suffer. In the mansion, a concubine could only be regarded as half a master. The status of the mistress of the house and the servant of the grandmother was higher than hers. Their Miss was a noble. When the time came, if the grandmother of the heir of Ningguo Province was not easy to get along with, her Miss would have to set the rules.
"Don't say anymore. This is fate. Forget it." Madam You sighed. She had already accepted her fate. From the moment she agreed to be a concubine, she had already accepted her fate. No matter how bad it was, it was much better than the previous situation, wasn't it?
"Violent woman, if you want to cry, just cry." Jia Zhen and Xia Lu sat in the carriage back to Ningguo Province. Seeing that Xia Lu's mood was not quite right, he pursed his lips and said, "Violent woman, if you want to cry, just cry."
Xia Lu looked at him and glared at him. "Why should I cry?"
"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so stubborn. However, just now, I pleaded for you to let them stay. Why did you stop me? Now that they have returned to the border, you don't know when you will see them again." Jia Zhen was a little puzzled. This violent woman clearly couldn't bear to part with them, but she still wanted her parents to return to the border.
"They didn't like this place where even a falling plaque could hit a member of the imperial family. That's why they chose to settle down at the border. This time, they came to the capital only to settle my marriage. I am already married, so they naturally have to return to the border. Although I can't bear to part with them, how can I bear to see them continue to feel uncomfortable in the capital because of me?" Xia Lu sighed. She remembered a song from the future. There is a kind of love called letting go.
Jia Zhen sighed. Indeed, he hadn't spent much time with his father-in-law, but he could tell that his father-in-law really didn't like the twists and turns in the capital. But then, he thought that something was wrong. "Hey, violent woman, why did you come to the capital to get married?"
Xia Lu shuddered. Had she been exposed? "It's nothing. Didn't my father say that there are no good places at the border? I won't be able to find anything good at the border. Besides, the border is still the border. If there's a war, it'll be too dangerous for a girl like me. "Xia Lu said the excuse that Father Xia had thought of earlier. Since she couldn't find her husband at the border, she decided to hide.
"Really?" Jia Zhen narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel that something was wrong?
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would I come to the capital?" Xia Lu felt a little guilty. It was better to forget about her dark history.
"Ha, with your skills, I really don't believe that my father-in-law came to the capital for this reason. Tell me, why did you come? I don't discriminate against you." Jia Zhen was curious. He didn't think that Xia Lu came to the capital because her body had been ruined. After all, he had personally examined her body on their wedding night. If it was because of her reputation, it didn't seem too likely. He had seen with his own eyes that this woman had the ability to turn black into white. Unless she wanted to, with this woman's ability, she definitely wouldn't let her reputation be ruined.
"That's the reason," Xia Lu said.
"Absolutely not." Jia Zhen was very confident in himself. He believed that this woman's reason for coming to the capital was definitely not simple. Jia Zhen's eyes lit up. He looked like he was going to get to the bottom of this matter.
Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen helplessly. If she didn't give Jia Zhen a satisfactory answer today, she was afraid that he wouldn't give up. "That's right. I beat up all the men around my age at the border. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to have any ideas about me, so they could only come to the capital." Xia Lu shrugged and said with a relaxed expression. To be honest, she was quite satisfied with her achievements.
"That is to say, you came to the capital because you couldn't find anyone to marry at the border?" Jia Zhen widened his eyes in disbelief. How powerful was this woman's Kung Fu? He had wanted to fight with this woman before. She had beaten up all the men at the border. The image of the men at the border appeared in Jia Zhen's mind. They had strong muscles and burly figures. Then, he looked at Xia Lu. She had actually beaten up all the men at the border. Jia Zhen shuddered. It seemed that she had only broken one of his legs before. Was she being merciful?
Xia Lu heard Jia Zhen's words. Why did it sound so unpleasant to the ears? Xia Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "That's right. So, you must not provoke me. With my bad temper, I can beat up three of you without a problem," Xia Lu said unhappily.
Jia Zhen swallowed her saliva. She was really frightened. She was a little anxious. Then, her eyes kept glancing at Xia Lu. Her whole person was very dizzy.
In fact, Jia Zhen's imagination was still different from reality. The men that Xia Lu had beaten up were only teenagers from the northwest. They were completely different from the adult men in the northwest in Jia Zhen's mind. After all, when Xia Lu married Jia Zhen, she was already 16 years old. However, when Xia Lu beat up those teenagers from the northwest, she was not even 10 years old. Girls developed earlier than boys, so they had the upper hand in a fight. However, as they grew older, girls' physical development would slow down while boys' physical development would improve by leaps and bounds. In fact, at Xia Lu's age, she would have no problem fighting against two ordinary men at once. However, when it came to the group of teenagers from the northwest, she would lose in a big way.
However, the trauma that Xia Lu had caused them when they were young had been completely engraved in their hearts. Even if they could beat him later, the image of Xia Lu in their hearts was still the same person who had pressed them to the ground and beaten them up.
After Granny Chun carried Xia Lu back, Qian Mu wrote a letter and asked her to find someone to pass it to Dian Deng in Ningguo Province.
Granny Chun naturally agreed. She found someone and spent a lot of money to pass the letter to Dian Deng. Dian Deng looked at the letter from the Qian Family on the table and felt a little scared. To be honest, she hated the Qian Family. Although the young lady was dead, she was still a concubine in Ningguo Province. The Qian Family had come to her door and asked for the young lady's dowry back, but they had thought about her situation in Ningguo Province. She was also from the Qian Family, so the hatred of Ningguo Province would naturally transfer to her. What kind of life had she been living in Ningguo Province for more than a year? If she hadn't hugged Hong Xiu's leg, she didn't know what kind of situation she would be in now.
Thinking of this, Dian Deng really didn't want to open the letter. However, she was still a child of the Qian Family. Her parents and brothers' slave contracts were all with the Qian Family, so she could only be cautious.
Dian Deng opened the letter and looked at the content written on the door. It asked her to think of a way to make Jia Zhen go to the Qian Family.
After Dian Deng finished reading the letter, there was a bitter smile on her face. She put the letter on the candle and let the candlelight drown the letter. Soon, the letter became a pile of black ashes.
