A vicious concubine dressed as a villain

Chapter 117 Their Story

Jiangnan at this time

Xie Zhaozhao stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the small courtyard in front of him, feeling a little sighed in his heart.

Xiuxiu on the side was packing her luggage, and looked there from time to time, as if she was worried about her.

Suddenly Xie Zhaozhao asked: "Xiuxiu, do you think the mother concubine regrets marrying the father?"

"Princess, the princess will definitely not regret it."

"is it?"

Xie Zhaozhao's mother and concubine are the most gentle and virtuous, the most beautiful and virtuous woman in the south of the Yangtze River. She was born in a scholarly family and was required to read and write since she was a child.

The acquaintance between her and the old prince was an accident. At that time, the old prince's first princess died of dystocia. The two were childhood sweethearts, so the old prince was very sad, so he came to Jiangnan to relax. she.

Later, they met more times, and they fell in love, but according to her background, she was not qualified to be a second concubine at all, not to mention that her family did not approve of her marrying an old man who was more than ten years older than her.

One side is love and the other is family affection. In the end, I chose love. Her natal family felt that she was not up to date, so they cut off relations with her in a fit of anger.

After being married for many years, she never went back to her natal home once, until she had a conflict with the old prince before she died, and then she returned to Jiangnan, and spent her last days in this small courtyard.

At that time, Xie Zhaozhao was only three years old, and the couple were so angry that she didn't even see her for the last time.

It is impossible to say that Xie Zhaozhao has no resentment in his heart, but all these years, the old prince has spoiled and loved her so much, it has long been offset.

But she still wanted to come to Jiangnan to have a look, even though her father kept preventing her from coming, so she took this opportunity and came here.

She wanted to find a trace of the concubine mother in the small courtyard, but there seemed to be nothing left behind by the concubine mother.

Could it be that the mother and concubine were still complaining about the father and king before leaving? Although Xie Zhaozhao didn't know what kind of conflict the two had, there was nothing left here, only a desolate courtyard.

Sometimes she always wondered whether the mother and concubine regretted not listening to her parents' advice and marrying the father, but according to the rumors in the palace, the father, mother and concubine were very loving, so she overturned this idea.

Xiuxiu opened her mouth to remind: "Princess, it's time to go."

"it is good"

Xie Zhaozhao took one last look at the small courtyard, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, and then got into the carriage.

In the future, she might not have the chance to come to Jiangnan again, mother and concubine, goodbye.

Xiuxiu helped her get into the carriage, and she followed closely behind, and after she sat firmly, she said to the driver: "Let's go."

I saw the coachman sitting outside the carriage, driving the horse, and then the carriage began to move forward slowly.

Xie Zhaozhao was not in a good mood, she opened the curtain and stretched her head out to look at the small courtyard that was getting farther and farther away. At this moment, two people came out from the side of the courtyard. The nearby residents stretched their heads back.

At this time, standing at the gate of the small courtyard was an old man with slightly white temples and a middle-aged man.

They looked at the carriage going away with a bit of reluctance in their eyes.

"Like, really like." The old man said with tears in the corners of his eyes, a little choked up.

The middle-aged man's lips twitched, his eyes were also full of tears, and he asked a little puzzled, "Father, why don't you meet this child?"

This child is exactly the same as his little sister when he was young. Poor his little sister died of depression at a young age.

If he, the big brother, had tried his best to stop him back then, I'm afraid there would be a different scene in front of him.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now.

Reluctantly, the old man withdrew his gaze and said with a sigh: "It's better to miss each other than to meet each other. This child is only afraid of blaming us."

At the beginning, he insisted on breaking up the lovers, and he was suffocated. Even when Ah Shu came to visit when she was pregnant, he turned away people, so that the heavy snow hurt her vitality, which dragged her down.

He regretted it a long time ago, it was all his fault, why did God take away his A Shu.

If the child knew that half of her mother's death was caused by his grandfather, he would probably hate him to death.

Therefore, he didn't dare to go up to meet her, he just needed to see her from a distance.

"Father, that incident wasn't your fault, and you didn't know that my little sister was pregnant at the time. This child looks sensible, and I think he will understand." The middle-aged man suddenly recalled the past for many years. comforted his father.

But his thoughts have drifted away, and he began to recall the old incident many years ago in his mind.

It turned out that there was a sister (brother) in front of Xie Zhaozhao. At that time, the princess thought that she was pregnant, and after so long, they should calm down. The natal family will definitely forgive her when they look at the child. , and begged the old prince to accompany her back to the south of the Yangtze River.

Unable to resist her plea, the couple went to Jiangnan with full sincerity.

It was a cold winter, and the day she came back happened to be snowing heavily. When her father heard that she was back, although he missed this little daughter who had been loved since childhood, he still rejected her in a fit of anger. outside.

The concubine waited at the door all the time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the old prince begged her to go back, don't wait any longer, but she felt that as long as she waited a little longer, her father would definitely come out to see her.

Even though she was freezing cold and stiff all over, she still waited and waited until it was dark, and she couldn't see her father coming out of the vermilion gate before she fainted.

That night, the ground that should have been covered with snow was stained with bright bloodstains one after another.

The blood kept flowing out from under her body, the hot blood melted the white snow on the ground, the old prince almost cried and picked her up and kept patting on the gate of Liu Mansion, the blood on his hands stained the gate.

When her father came out, her face was pale and bloodless, and her whole body was icy cold, as if she had lost all life. If it wasn't for her breathing, the old prince thought she was holding a corpse.

Only when the doctor came did he find out that she was pregnant, but after standing in the snow for a whole day, the baby was gone in the end.

Also from then on, the old prince did not allow her to come to Jiangnan again, and he even forbade people in the mansion to mention Jiangnan. He felt resentful in his heart, hated the Liu family, why was he so unfeeling.

Later, they never saw this younger sister (daughter) again. It was not until she returned to Jiangnan alone for unknown reasons that they dared to look at her from a distance, but they didn't dare to approach her, because they felt that I owe this sister (daughter).

They didn't see each other for the last time until she passed away.

At that time, she said that she didn't resent them because she was unfilial and shouldn't disobey her father, but even so, she didn't regret it, she didn't regret marrying that man who was more than ten years older than her, but if she did it all over again, she wouldn't Then choose to abandon family affection for love.
