Chapter 439 The old man
Concubine Rong was a little surprised, then nodded, "Okay, I'll pack up and go."

She turned back into the room, put on her coat, and slightly nodded towards Lu Yao, "Let's go."

Taking advantage of Luyao's time to call Concubine Rong, Mingxi wanted to pry some useful information out of Xiuqin's mouth, but the other party was as stubborn as a donkey, and refused to let go, insisting on waiting until Rong The imperial concubine is willing to speak when she comes.

Ming Xi tried several times but did not get a response, so she simply gave up, exchanged a helpless look with Ying Xiu, and slowly picked up the teacup and drank it.

After a while, the door of the room was pushed open, and Lu Yao stepped in first, stepped aside, revealing Concubine Rong behind her.

Concubine Rong saw the situation in the room at a glance, suppressed the doubts and strangeness in her heart, entered the room and said with a smile, "Listen to Lu Yao, madam, are you looking for me?"

Ming Xi lowered her eyes and smiled, beckoning, "Come and sit, Lu Yao, and bring a cup of tea for Sister Rong."

Concubine Rong didn't refuse, she came to the seat beside her and sat down, the green medicine was pouring the tea, the movements were very skillful, the set was pleasing to the eye, the boiling hot tea slowly flowed into the teacup along the spout, making a crisp ding-dong sound for a while Hot air came out.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Ming Xi thought about it and said, "Let's apologize to Sister Rong first, it's not because I have something to say to you." Under Concubine Rong's surprised gaze, she slowly raised her eyes, and the eyes were filled with tears. With a look of guilt, "The one who wants to see you is actually someone else."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned to Xiuqin beside her, and the emotion in her eyes was self-evident.

The person who wants to see her is Xiuqin.

Concubine Rong paused, and couldn't help following her gaze.

This time, she looked at Xiuqin with a more meaningful look.

"So girl, why do you want to see me? Could it be that we really know each other?"

She said this not without reason.

The way Xiuqin looked at her was really weird, it didn't look like the way she should have when meeting a stranger for the first time.

When she returned to the room just now, she had been thinking about this matter in her heart, but she really couldn't remember when she had seen such a person.

Facing her doubts, Xiuqin didn't answer immediately, but raised her hand calmly, and slowly took off the veil on her face.

A face that couldn't bear to look directly was completely exposed.

Concubine Rong Gui was always calm, her eyes trembled slightly when she saw such a face at first glance.

Apart from being surprised, she didn't show any other strange expressions.

After a while, Concubine Rong hesitated and said, "I should, I haven't seen the girl before."

If she had seen such a face, it should have left a deep impression on her.

But now she has no impression at all in her mind.

Xiuqin said in a hoarse voice, "I have such a face on my face, it's only right that my husband doesn't recognize it."

"gentlemen"!
Concubine Rong Gui couldn't help but be shocked by her address.

Her breathing became short of breath.

There are only a handful of people who would call her that!

She came to Ying City more than ten years ago.

Concubine Rong, who was fashionable and young at that time, offended her stepmother, and the authorities caught her at fault, and then sent her to Ying City. On the surface, it was to relax, but in reality it was to expel her!
Among the high-ranking nobles, young ladies or female family members, once they make a mistake or do something unseemly, they will be sent to the Zhuangzi or the nunnery to make them think about their mistakes.

It's not a decent thing to do.

What's more, once most people are rejected by the family, they are likely to be forgotten. They have been like this for a lifetime, and there are very few people who can return to the family.

Not to mention, her stepmother hated her to the core, regarded her as a thorn in her side, and finally seized the opportunity to send her off. How could she let her go so easily?

Concubine Rong was born in a wealthy family, but her biological mother passed away when she was only a few years old, leaving her alone.

Her father loved her originally, but within a few years, he married a stepwife. As the saying goes, with a stepmother, there is a stepfather. That stepmother disliked the daughter left by her original spouse in every way. Don't grind her down.

Her father's ears are soft, that woman will do whatever she says, plus the other party has given birth to a son for him, with a son, how can he care about the life and death of his daughter?
Finally, because of a frame-up, her stepmother sent her to a villa in Yingcheng, afraid of being gossiped by others, she said nicely on the surface, and asked her to go out to relax, but in fact, no one knew the meaning behind it.

What's even more chilling is that her father didn't express his opinion at all, and chose to acquiesce.

Concubine Rong was full of despair, even she felt that she was abandoned by the family.

At this moment, a family approached her, with the purpose of asking her to teach for the daughter of that family.

When the family heard that she was from the Imperial Capital and that she was a young lady of an aristocratic family, they were a little moved.

A young lady from a wealthy family must be well-bred.

It is no exaggeration to say that Concubine Rong can afford the job of a teacher.

If it was normal, she would definitely not choose to show her face in such a way, and rejected that family without hesitation.

But knowing that the future is dark, she has already brought a bit of self-abandonment, coupled with the harsh treatment of her stepmother, the life in the village is difficult, the family's reward is really generous, Concubine Rong thought about it, and agreed.

Since then, she has added a title of "Mr."

But if she had known what would happen next, Concubine Rong would never agree.

In the days that followed, he would think, if she had rejected that family at the beginning, would everything that happened afterwards never happen?

But there are no ifs in life.

Concubine Rong came back to her senses from the past, her lips trembled, and her eyes were a little unbelievable. She suddenly felt that the silhouette of the person in front of her was a little more familiar.

"You, you are..."

Xiuqin said calmly, "I'm Xiuqin, sir. We said goodbye 13 years ago, so you'll be safe here."

The guess in her heart was confirmed, Concubine Rong's pupils shook suddenly, "Xiuqin?! How is it possible! You are not... You were not..."

The Xiuqin she knew was a delicate, good-looking girl who loved to laugh, just like her master...

And the person in front of him can almost be described as beyond recognition!

Concubine Rong's eyes darkened slightly, she was startled, what happened in these years?
Why did Xiuqin become like this?

Xiuqin touched her face, her eyes fell into a kind of numbness, but also a kind of sad pain, "Sir must be very curious about why my face has become like this..."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ming Xi couldn't help but be puzzled. So, Xiuqin wasn't born with this appearance?
