Concubine like a house

Chapter 158 A Dream Comes After the Prosperity (1)
On the second day after leaving Xiu and returning to the mansion, he asked his second concubine, Hua Wuying, to visit Prince Cheng's Mansion, and took Yun Xiangrong to the other garden of Yun Mansion to take care of her.

Maybe it was because Chuxiu's move was too obvious, or maybe it was what Nie Peixiao said to Yun Xiangrong, in short, Yun Xiangrong didn't continue to pretend to be crazy.

Three days later, Yun Xiangrong claimed that he was conscious, and returned to Yun Mansion with his second aunt.As soon as she returned to the mansion, she went straight to Zhiyanxuan to see Chuxiu, but unfortunately she was stopped by Zhu Ying: "Madam has been unwell recently, thank you behind closed doors."

Yun Xiangrong was worried, with a pitiful haggard look, almost pleading in a low voice: "I have something urgent to see my sister-in-law, please report it again."

Zhu Ying's face was as normal as usual, but the words she said were extremely sarcastic: "Miss, don't let me down, in this house you are the master and I am a slave. How can I bear it when you speak in such a tone."

As soon as Yun Xiangrong heard this, he understood Zhu Ying's attitude, so he no longer asked him to report.She adopted the method of "waiting for the rabbit" and kept guarding at the gate of Zhiyanxuan.

Logically speaking, after Yun Xiangrong was kidnapped, he didn't see his daughter for so many days, so he should be missing her very much.No matter how much she hated Min'er, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body.But after Yun Xiangrong returned to the mansion, she didn't even visit the child, she let the second aunt take care of her, and she wanted to see Chuxiu herself wholeheartedly.

After waiting like this for three days, Chuxiu had to go to the bank because of debts, and Yun Xiangrong caught him straight from this.As soon as she saw Chuxiu coming out of Zhiyanxuan, she followed immediately, and said in a low-key manner: "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't pretend to be crazy with King Cheng... I really have nothing to do... Your heart Benevolent, don't argue with me."

Chuxiu hurried out without expression, letting Yun Xiangrong follow behind him to explain.Yue Wan followed behind, and quickly reached out to stop her: "Miss, please stay, Madam is going out of the house."

Yun Xiangrong still refused to give up, and said with a choked voice, "Sister-in-law... just listen to me explain..."

Only then did Chuxiu stand still, and turned to look at her: "What do you want to explain?" The tone was neither hasty nor slow, like pearls moving lightly, but so cold, like a piercing glacier.

Yun Xiangrong shivered for no reason, and said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, I don't dare anymore... I was confused for a while, I..."

Chuxiu didn't hear Yun Xiangrong finish speaking, he already sighed.Seeing Yuewan, Zhuying and others following around, it was inconvenient for her to speak, so she said, "Come with me." As she spoke, she still walked towards the gate of Yunfu, Yun Xiangrong quickly followed.

After Chuxiu walked out of Yunfu, he motioned for Yun Xiangrong to get on the carriage together.After the two sat down, she asked coldly, "Xiangrong, tell me the truth, have you been raped this time?"

Yun Xiangrong burst into tears immediately, and nodded uncontrollably: "I didn't lie to you, I saw it with my own eyes... The kidnappers caught the wrong person, and the mastermind behind the scenes refused to pay the money. After saying a few angry words, the leader of the kidnappers became annoyed and sent me..."

The more Yun Xiangrong talked, the more wronged he became: "At that time, I was on the boat, and I couldn't help it... Yiran almost fainted from fright. Fortunately, a big boat suddenly collided with it. When the kidnappers saw that the cabin was flooded, they immediately Temporarily docked to change boats. Only then did Yiran jump into the river to escape..."

She raised her sleeves and wiped her tears while sobbing and said, "I admit that I have resentment in my heart. Why am I being raped repeatedly? What's more, Mingying is not targeting me...I feel that I have been implicated by you, so I will put this resentment away Take it out on you and come up with this trick of pretending to be crazy."

At this moment, Yun Xiangrong's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, so he didn't see the disgusted look on Chuxiu's face.The former was crying unknowingly. After a while, Chuxiu finally became impatient, and said coldly, "You just mentioned Mingying's name over and over again, how do you know that she is the mastermind behind the scenes? Do you have evidence?"

After this question, Yun Xiangrong was speechless for a moment, and replied stammeringly: "This...is naturally what the kidnappers said."

"Really?" Chuxiu smiled sarcastically, "So Mingying is so stupid that she told the kidnappers her real identity?"

Yun Xiangrong immediately changed his words in a panic: "Maybe I misremembered... King Cheng said it? I've been too confused these past few days, so I can't remember."

"I see." Chuxiu was still smiling, but her expression was extremely sarcastic, obviously she didn't believe what Yun Xiangrong said.

And Yun Xiangrong regretted it even more.Logically, I used to be raised in a deep boudoir, so I had no chance to know Ming Ying; later, when I married to Jingzhou, the Ming family had already fallen, and it was Shen Yu who copied the Ming family, so it was even more impossible for me to know Ming Ying; besides, there was no The mastermind will reveal his true identity to the kidnappers...

After thousands of calculations, I thought of all kinds of excuses, but I missed this detail!Thousands of thoughts flashed through Yun Xiangrong's mind, and she knew that she would become darker and darker, so she simply changed the subject and begged bitterly: "Sister-in-law! Every mistake is my fault! I have nothing left. I can't lose Shen Yu anymore! I'm really afraid of losing him, I..."

She bit her lower lip, and blurted out with great determination: "Without Shen Yu, you still have King Cheng; if I don't have Shen Yu, I have nothing! What's more, the identity of King Cheng You are more prominent, your status is more respected, and you have a deep affection for you... That's why I will help him and persuade him to cooperate with me."

Hearing this, Chuxiu sneered, and asked in a condensed voice: "So you persuade him to use some means against me, first get my people, and then get my heart?"

Chuxiu even knew this sentence?Yun Xiangrong was startled, and before he could figure out how to reply, he heard Xiu continue to say: "What? You have been raped yourself, and you want King Cheng to rape me? Could it be that if he gets my body, he can get it? My heart? According to this, does Min'er's biological father also get your heart?"

"Sister-in-law, forgive me!" Yun Xiangrong no longer cared about being in the carriage, knelt down with a "plop", and said earnestly, "I was really out of order at the time, and I resented you for hurting me, so I said this Damn talk..."

"Enough! I don't want to listen anymore." Chuxiu closed his eyes with a tired look, and waved his hand to stop him, "It doesn't matter if you planned it in advance, or you fell out of order for a while, there is no need to make many excuses. You annoy me because of Shen Yu , It should be taken for granted. But why you were able to marry him at that time, you knew in your heart, if you want to talk about the first come first, then it's not your turn to speak."

Just this one sentence already shocked Yun Xiangrong: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean..."

"What I mean is, I won't compete with you for Shen Yu, but you are vicious and not worthy of him." Chuxiu's voice became more and more condensed, like the snow in the north, "Now that Shen Yu is organizing the army in Beixuan, we Don't let him be distracted, after he returns to Nanxi, you can make peace with him!"

"No! No way!" Yun Xiangrong opened her eyes wide in horror, she didn't expect Chu Xiu to have such an attitude, she always thought that Chu Xiu was merciful.

"Sister-in-law, I beg you to forgive me this time, I...don't dare again. I really know I was wrong!" Yun Xiangrong repeatedly kowtowed on the carriage, the sound of "dong dong" was not too small, Even Yue Wan outside the car could hear it clearly.

This time, Chuxiu was really unmoved, she had seen through Yun Xiangrong's tricks, and said with a serious face: "Shen Yu deserves a better woman, you and I have already lost the qualification. If you know yourself , it's best to agree to reconciliation... otherwise, it will be a divorce letter."

"Resignation..." Yun Xiangrong finally stopped kowtowing.Her forehead was bruised, her eyes were red and swollen, and her tone was even more desperate: "Sister-in-law, do you have to kill me?"

"If you are targeting me personally, maybe you can forgive me a little bit, and I won't be so heartless." Chuxiu sighed and shook his head slowly, "You are wrong, you shouldn't drag King Cheng into the water. What's more You revealed Mingying's name yourself, which is a flaw."

Yun Xiangrong was kneeling, but upon hearing this, he immediately fell to the ground, not daring to say another word.

Every time Chuxiu thinks that Yun Xiangrong is pretending to be crazy, the disgust in his heart will increase.Seeing her pretending to be cute and pitiful, she felt even more disgusted, and she simply said harsh words to make her give up: "It doesn't matter whether your humiliation is true or not, or whether you have other plans, in short, I don't want to see you again. You and Second Aunt moved away Bieyuan, if you want to remarry in the future, Yunfu has plenty of dowry."

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Yun Xiangrong another chance to speak, she raised the curtain of the car and ordered to the outside: "Zhu Ying, please get the young lady out of the car."

Zhu Ying took the lead, and Shi Li asked Yun Xiangrong twice, but the other party didn't respond at all.Zhu Ying had no choice but to drag her off the carriage and send her back to Nishang Pavilion.

It wasn't until after Yun Xiangrong left that Chuxiu lowered his eyebrows and straightened his sleeves, then said to Yue Wan: "Go to the bank, there is no longer any delay."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "clap" sound of horseshoes, and the three horses stopped in front of Yunfu's carriage facing each other.Yue Wan looked around, and saw that on top of a steed, the person who came was dressed in a purple brocade gown, handsome and handsome, it was Nie Peixiao, King of Cheng.

Yue Wan didn't dare to hide anything, and whispered to Chuxiu in the car: "Ma'am, King Cheng is here."

Chuxiu was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It seems that I should not go out today."

As soon as the words fell, Nie Peixiao saw Yue Wan immediately, got off the horse and walked in front of her, asking: "Is your wife in the car?"

"Exactly." Yue Wan replied politely, "I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

Nie Peixiao gave a "hmm", turned to look at the carriage, and said without hesitation: "I have something to say to my wife alone."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he had to get off the carriage, and said with a polite smile: "I have resigned from the post of mistress. If your Highness has something to do, I will go and tell the Marquis."

Nie Peixiao was anxious when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Come out of Xiu, give me a chance to explain."

Chuxiu pursed her lips and smiled again: "Your Highness and my concubine did not misunderstand, so why explain?"

This attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away made Nie Peixiao very hurt, but he didn't want to say more outside the gate of Yunfu, so he compromised and said: "I really have something to do with Li Xinhou, please trouble Madam." After speaking, he turned around and climbed up the steps, and stepped into the gate of Yunfu. Feng Fei immediately handed over the horse to the door boy, and then entered the mansion.

The visitor is a guest, not to mention that the other party is a majestic king of sincerity, so it is natural not to be negligent in terms of etiquette.She had no choice but to go back to the house to entertain her, and said helplessly to Yun Fengming: "I won't go to the bank today, you should make another appointment."

"Yes." Yun Feng took the order, "I'll go to the bank to discuss with the manager."

"No need." Chuxiu said, "You go to Qingxin Zhai first to invite Lord Hou out, and just say that King Cheng is here, and I'm unwell and can't entertain guests."

Yun Feng took the order and left.

After Chuxiu went to the living room, Nie Peixiao was already there.When he saw Chuxiu finally came over, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I have something to tell you."

Chuxiu maintained a decent smile: "Please speak, Your Highness, and I will listen attentively."

The other party was so calm, but Nie Peixiao didn't know where to start. She had prepared a lot of drafts, but now she seems to have completely forgotten it.He opened his mouth and thought for a while, and finally he only said sincerely: "I was wrong."

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Chu Xiu asked with a smile.

Nie Peixiao's thin lips were tightly pursed, with a solemn expression, afraid of missing this opportunity: "I shouldn't have promised Yun Xiangrong to play tricks on you."

Chuxiu shook her head lightly: "No, you shouldn't force it." She lowered her eyes deliberately not to look at Nie Peixiao, for fear of being burned by that hot gaze: "I am grateful for His Highness's love, but fate cannot Force, if you missed it nine years ago, you will miss it, and there is no turning back."

"Why can't I look back?" Nie Peixiao asked unwillingly, "Yun Ci passed away, and Shen Yu married another, why can't you give me a chance? Nine years ago, the difference between you and me would not have any results; but now this The timing is just right, we..."

"We will not have a good result." Chuxiu interrupted him, "Why is your Highness so aggressive? Don't you understand? If I want to expose you, I will expose you that day in Chengwang's mansion... I did not expose you Breaking, I am grateful for this meeting of bosom friends."

"Since we are bosom friends, we should connect with each other." Nie Peixiao looked at Chuxiu seriously, "How can you forgive me?"

"If there is no enmity, how can you forgive?" Chuxiu replied softly, "Your Highness, don't be persistent anymore. You should have spread your branches and leaves at your age. Don't let Queen Mother Ye and the Holy One worry."

"You know that I have dismissed all the concubines in the mansion, you..." Nie Peixiao said urgently, "I have never considered others for the position of Princess Cheng."

"The concubine is the daughter-in-law of the Yun family." Chuxiu forced a smile and sighed, "Your Highness probably doesn't know that since my husband passed away, the concubine hates being cheated the most."

"Yun Ci lied to you?" Nie Peixiao obviously misunderstood the meaning of Chuxiu, and quickly expressed his feelings, "I am different from Yunci, I will not lie to you to marry another. Chuxiu, give me another chance, don't cheat , no harm, I will do better than him."

Don't cheat, don't hurt, he can do better than Yunci?No!No one can match Yunci, absolutely nothing!Nie Peixiao's words finally angered Chuxiu, she shot her cold eyes at him, and said word by word, without politeness: "No one can replace my husband, Your Highness is not qualified enough."

After saying that, she walked away in disregard of etiquette.

Seeing this, Nie Peixiao hurried to catch up, and grabbed her left arm from behind: "Why are you annoyed by me? Don't you remember Yun Ci? You have been hurt for him, and you have been guarding Yun's for so many years... Haven't figured it out yet? If he didn't die, you would never become Mrs. Li Xinhou! He only sees you as a tool to carry on the family line!"

"Shut up!" At this moment, Chuxiu only felt a burst of anger, and didn't want to explain further, and replied coldly, "The deceased is dead, please be careful! Your Highness will never treat my husband like a concubine." I know. Please let go!"

When Nie Peixiao heard the words, not only did she not let go, but she clenched her hands even tighter, pinching Chuxiu's arm painfully.There are many emotions hidden in his eyes, and the unwillingness is like a gold and iron horse, no one can ignore it: "Why can Yun Ci, Shen Yu, but I can't?"

"Shen Yu can't do it, and you can't." In just eight words, the hard work and sincerity of the two men were rejected at the same time, and all possibilities were also cut off.Chuxiu was categorical and could not ask any more questions: "Since Your Highness is so rude, I will have no choice but to avoid seeing him from now on."

Nie Peixiao's face was extremely pale, and with a "hiss", he couldn't control his strength, and forcibly tore off a piece of Chuxiu's left sleeve!
This move was extremely rude, but Chuxiu was very calm. She lowered her eyes and looked at the torn sleeve, and said with regret: "In ancient times, cutting off a robe cut off righteousness. Today, concubines cut off their sleeves to cut off their bosom friend After finishing speaking, he pulled his left arm out of Nie Peixiao's hand with great force, and ran away from the door.

Just in time, Yun Cheng also hurried over from Qingxin Zhai after hearing Yun Feng's report.Chuxiu went out, Yun Cheng entered, and the mother and son almost bumped into each other.Yun Cheng hurriedly saluted: "Mother."

Chu Xiu kept a cold face and left quickly without saying a word.Yun Cheng was very puzzled, looked at Chuxiu's back for a while, then came back to the living room and said: "Your Highness has kept you waiting, I hope you will forgive me."

At this time, Nie Peixiao seemed to have lost her mind, just staring at the door, and muttered: "Cut your sleeves to cut off your bosom friend... Cut your sleeves to cut off your bosom friend..."

Yun Cheng frowned, and called him worriedly: "Your Highness?" Unfortunately, there was no response.

It took a long time for Nie Peixiao to come back to her senses, she didn't bother to say polite words to Yun Cheng, and sadly said: "I want to see Mrs. Tai!"

After half a cup of tea, in Rongjin Hall.

Madam Tai stepped back and asked Nie Peixiao, "Your Highness came to see me, an old lady, why?"

Nie Peixiao got straight to the point, without concealing her urgency: "To tell you the truth, I want to know everything about Yunci and Chuxiu, and Mrs. Lao will tell you the truth."

"Everything?" Mrs. Tai's smile froze slightly, "His Royal Highness really wants to know everything?"

"That's right." Nie Peixiao replied in a deep voice, "I came to see her today, although her attitude was cold, she was polite; but when I mentioned Yunci, she got annoyed and said that she would never have any contact with me again."

When Nie Peixiao said this, Mrs. Tai had roughly understood, so she thought for a moment, and replied: "If Your Highness listens patiently, I will tell you in detail, but this story is a bit long, and it has to start nine years ago. Then Shi Ci'er went to Jingzhou to recover from his illness in Chasing Rainbow Garden..."
