Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

The place where Murong Qian lives is in a messy alley.

A neighbor raised chickens and ducks, and the ground was covered with filth. Murong Man tightly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

She became more confident in her guess.

Murong Qian was considered a young lady in the mansion back then, but now she is worse than a concubine in the second prince's mansion.

She felt contempt in her heart and asked the maid to knock on Murong Qian's courtyard door.

"who is that?"

Murong Qian's voice came from inside, very brisk, not the bitter and resentful voice Murong Man imagined.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, she saw Murong Qian with a smile on her face. When she saw it was her, she stopped smiling and showed a bit of surprise: "It turns out she is Murong's concubine. How could she come to a simple and shabby place like ours?"

Murong Man had already looked into the yard. The ground was clean, not even a fallen leaf could be seen. It was very neat. Behind Murong Qian, there was a thin man holding a chubby baby with a smile on his face. Ben also smiled.

He was Murong Qian's husband. In order to rush for the exam, he once took in poor relatives from far away who lived in the Hou Mansion.

The child suddenly giggled, making Murong Qian and his wife look much softer.

Murong Man felt very unhappy. She saw concrete happiness on their faces.

She found it unbelievable.

How could someone as proud as Murong Qian, who originally wanted to marry Jun Yuyan, be willing to be with such a mediocre man now?

She couldn't even see any advantages in this man. He was thin, ordinary, and poor.

However, these thoughts flashed through her mind, and she soon showed a gentle smile and said:

"Sister Qian, I happened to be passing by here and bought something to see you. You won't welcome me, right? I walked a lot today and am a little tired. Sister Qian, please let me in for a sip of tea."

She said so, and Murong Qian couldn't refuse, so she turned sideways to let Murong Man in.

"This is my little niece. She is over half a year old. She looks like my sister. She is so cute."

Murong Man smiled, took off a bracelet from his hand, and wanted to put it into the child's arms, treating it as a greeting gift.

She believed that Murong Qian would not refuse. As Murong Qian said, this place was indeed shabby. Even if it was clean and tidy, it still couldn't hide its shabby appearance. Poor people were poor, and it could be seen at a glance.

The bracelet she had was given to her by the Second Prince. If she put it on the market, she could exchange it for a hundred taels of silver, which would be enough for their family of three to use for a year or two.

Her movements and demeanor were all showing superiority, but unexpectedly, Murong Qian stopped her movement, "Children are not lucky enough to bear such a heavy gift. Concubine Murong, please sit down and I will make you a cup of tea."

With that said, she turned to her husband and said, "You can hold Yu'er and go to sleep for a while. She was sleepy just now."

The other party smiled and nodded: "Okay, you guys can chat slowly and call me if you need anything."

Murong Man despised such a man in his heart. Any man who stayed at home to take care of the children was worthless and useless.

She said on the surface: "My sister-in-law is really nice, but why didn't he go on duty today? Did he encounter some trouble?"

Before coming, Murong Man had been inquired about.

Murong Qian, the poor husband, is now a small registrar. Because he offended Shangfeng, he was put in the shoes. Now he is punishing him to think about his mistakes and taking the opportunity to deduct half a month's tribute from him.

This life must have been difficult. As long as Murong Qian begged her and said a few words, the second prince could change their family's predicament.

"It's no trouble. Concubine Murong, please have tea. My husband-in-law and I have something to do and I have to go out in a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain Concubine Murong." Murong Qian actually issued an expulsion order directly!

Murong Man was in disbelief.

However, she felt that Murong Qian might have too much self-esteem and didn't want others to know that she was not doing well, so she said:

"I heard that my brother-in-law's job is not going well. We are sisters. I don't want you to have such a difficult time. Later I will ask Your Highness to find an opportunity to help my brother-in-law."

"No, if you have this intention, you'd better go and help your parents and aunt. They are much worse off than me."

Murong Qian refused again.

Her words also made Murong Man's face darken.

Of course Murong Man knew that the lives of the Murong family members were not good. The old lady had died miserably, and her father was sold to others as a slave. He signed a selling contract and would be used as cattle and horses for the rest of his life. The others also had their own differences. tragic.

It's not that she doesn't want to help, it's just that she can't help.

The second prince was disgusted with her family and could not offend him.

"You two go out and wait outside. My sister Akane and I have a few words to say to each other."

Murong Man said to the two maids.

These two maids knew some skills and were sent by the second prince to protect her.

She didn't let Zhuo Yinzhu follow because Zhuo Yinzhu's face was really ugly, and it would be embarrassing to bring her out.

Seeing that there was no danger here, the maid went outside the courtyard.

Murong Man lowered his voice and said to Murong Qian:

"Sister Qian, I know you are not having a good time now. In fact, my second prince is not having a good time either. You should also know that I had a miscarriage in my previous pregnancy. It was the second prince who deliberately asked Yun Weiwei to harm me. Now I I fell in love again, got pregnant again, but still lived on thin ice."

She lowered her stance, hoping to win Murong Qian's sympathy so that the two of them could have more topics in common.

Murong Qian's attitude changed and she started talking to her.

She complained for a long time before saying:

"Sister Qian, I really regret it now. The person I have wronged the most is actually Sister Jiu. If I had been sincerely nice to her in the Hou Mansion, I wouldn't be here today. Now I have to take care of my belly. The child I finally got here is a blessing, and I want to ask Sister Qian to be the middleman and help me make an appointment with her, okay?"

Murong Qian frowned and said, "I can't date her, and she won't see me either."

Murong Man had no such hope at all, she said:

"Jiu Mei has the kindest heart. She will definitely be willing to see you. That's all. It doesn't matter if you don't see me. You can give her a gift for me and take some of her hair for me. I want to send it to the temple to pray for her and resolve the problem. The hatred between us.”

Hearing this, Murong Qian suddenly sneered:

"Concubine Murong, it turns out that your purpose is to get Ninth Sister's hair. What do you want to do? Do you want to use witchcraft? It's a lie if you want to pray for her, but it's true if you want to curse her!"

She stood up quickly, pointed at the courtyard door and said, "You can leave. My small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha like yours. You don't have to come back in the future! I can't help you do harm to others!"

"You misunderstood, sister Akane..."

Murong Qian couldn't help but push her out.

Murong Man quickly protected her belly, not daring to be forceful, lest she hurt the fetus in her belly. Seeing that Murong Qian couldn't get enough food, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Murong Qian, why are you pretending to be noble? Weren't you the one who seduced Prince Ling in the first place? You have given birth to a daughter now. If you can't give birth to a son, your useless man will abandon you sooner or later and find another love!"
