Resourceful beauty

Chapter 40
"My concubine, my maidservant has gone to see it, Miss Six is ​​talking to Lan Xuan, and she is talking with Da Furen."

In the main room of Cunhui Garden, Miao and Su Yuan were talking. During this time, Su Yuan still didn't feel at ease and asked the maid to go to the East Mansion to see what Fang Ruxuan was doing.

After the maid replied, Miao waved her hand, looked at Su Yuan with a teasing smile on her face and said, "She is dead, a little girl, are you afraid of this?"

Su Yuan was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She raised her hand to stroke her temples, and replied casually: "Although she was not born by me, she is the lady of Prince Qi's mansion and my daughter in name. You can't leave her alone."

Su Yuan pretended not to understand the fear word in Miao's words.

The Miao family didn't expose it, so she continued to say what she didn't finish at noon: "The Anyuanhou's mansion is the mother's house of the empress, and the son of Anyuanhou is also a talented man in both civil and military affairs. For such a person, let alone your daughter, if the empress I have a daughter, and I'm afraid she's going to marry, so I think it's better for you to give up as soon as possible."

With these words, Su Yuan's complexion immediately became a little ugly after growing other people's ambitions and destroying her own prestige.

"What's wrong with Yu'er? Mother, you just look down on your granddaughter like this? If Prince Qi's Mansion is married to Anyuanhou Mansion, Su Mansion will be regarded as close relatives. In the future, the Second Household may not be able to surpass Da over the room."

Su Yuan snorted.

Looking past Su Yuan's face, Miao's words became even more merciless, "If Ruyu came out of Su Xin's stomach, maybe there is still a possibility."

Miao didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Su Yuan knew it without guessing.

With a hurt expression on her face, Su Yuan looked up at Miao with some resentment and said: "If my mother is even a little bit towards me, I should listen to my father that day and write my name under my mother's name. If my mother doesn't want to, I will She has been branded as a concubine from the beginning to the end of her life, even if she becomes Princess Qi now, she will be brought out to speak out."

"In my name?"

Mrs. Miao glared at Su Yuan, "Let people know that my daughter is willing to be a concubine for King Qi? Or let people know that my daughter once confessed her heart to others without shame, and after being rejected Hanging herself? Haha, I don't have such a shameless daughter..."

Seeing that Su Yuan spoke impolitely, and had the hint of pretending to be a concubine to bully her, Miao brought up Su Yuan's scandalous affairs with great hatred.

Hitting the snake for seven inches, Su Yuan did not make a sound, and her face was even more blue and red, which was indescribably beautiful.

The Miao family gave birth to two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Su Rong, married into the first Shangguan family in Nanyang. In the mansion, Su Rong married in the first year, gave birth to the eldest son in the second year, and began to learn about housekeeping from her mother-in-law in the third year. Every time Miao mentioned this eldest daughter, she would look proud.

The youngest daughter, Su Yun, is the child-in-law arranged by Master Su Er, the third son of General Fuping, and the young couple also live a peaceful and beautiful life.

The concubine daughters of the Miao family, although their marriages are far from those of the two concubines, are not satisfactory. Only Su Yuan was not liked by the Miao family when she was young, so when Su Yuan offered to be Teng for Su Xin When she was a concubine, Mrs. Miao thought that she would go to King Qi's fief and never see her again, so she hurriedly discussed the matter with Mrs. Bai and Mr. Su, and it finally happened.

Su Yuan's complexion was not good-looking, and Miao-shi stopped what she wanted to say. After a while, Miao-shi slowed down her tone and said perfunctorily: "You have entered the palace frequently these few days, I'll talk to you again. , not only makes people feel that our Su Manor is impatient, but also makes it difficult for the Concubine Xian to behave in the palace, so please stay calm and be patient for a while."

"When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the family will definitely send someone into the palace to pay their respects. When that time comes, I will go talk to Empress Xian and ask her to help make peace."

Mrs. Miao comforted Su Yuandao.

It's only March now, and there are still two months before the Dragon Boat Festival, and Su Yuan is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and she can't wait to settle the marriage between Prince Anyuanhou and Fang Ruyu now, how can she wait so long?
"Thank you, mother, for worrying."

Thanks vaguely, Su Yuan left Cunhui Garden on the pretext of going to visit some sister-in-laws.

In Xiang Lanxuan, Fang Ruxuan and Bai Shi sat on the soft couch, their backs were straight.

Fang Ruxuan told Mrs. Bo that Su Yuan had invited Aunt Guan to perform the exercises in the palace, and what Su Yuan said when she went to Jingxin Pavilion, and there was a palpitating silence in the room.

There was unbelievable shock in Bai's eyes, and one hand was tightly clutching the edge of the kang, and on the back of the thin hand, several blue veins protruded ferociously.

"Your mother has been ill for three years. Before the illness, was there anything unusual?"

There was a tremor in Bai's voice.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "Mother's body has been weak since she gave birth. My father visited famous doctors and said that my mother's body is deficient and needs to be recuperated. So, after that, I have been recuperating..."

"What about Su Yuan? How did she treat your mother in those years?"

Bai Shi continued to ask.

Recalling the events of that year, Fang Ruxuan said slowly: "Mother is sick, and the house smells like medicine. Father is busy outside every day, and he has to train soldiers. Whenever he goes to mother's place, mother persuades father to go to Suyuan or other places. Concubine and concubine's office. I once heard my mother say something, saying, "The beauty is so haggard, I can't bear my husband to see her, and I want to be Mrs. Li."

At that time, Fang Ruxuan was still young, so she naturally didn't understand what her mother said, but today, she can understand [-]% of it.

In Prince Qi's Mansion in Jiangbei, there are two side concubines, two concubines, and several other concubines without status. Old and embarrassing.

But any woman doesn't want her husband to see her ugly appearance, so she can only avoid seeing her, hoping to recover sooner.

"She is the mother's younger sister. Compared with other side concubines, she naturally has an unusual affection. The mother Zeng who is beside the mother often said that the mother is too good-tempered, and always pushes the father into her room, otherwise , How could she give birth to three children."

Slowly talking about the things she recalled, Fang Ruxuan took a deep breath and said: "During the years when my mother was seriously ill, Su Yuan went to her mother's room the most, doing everything by herself, and even my father went to her room to eat. What was said and what was said, and everything I told my mother was detailed."

"At that time, I thought she had good intentions. After all, my mother cared so much about my father. Although I didn't want my father to be infected with illness, I still wanted to know what he did. But now that I think about it, Su Yuan really cares about her." Zhu. Hearing my father joking and joking with the woman next to me, how sad my mother must be."

Fang Ruxuan said bitterly.

"It's hard for you, but you can still think of these things."

Patting Fang Ruxuan's hand, Bai said in a low voice.

Bai Shi is someone who has experienced it. No one knows what Su Xin was thinking at that time better than a mother like her.

"On the day my mother left, my father was also by my side. My mother left after saying her last words. I have thought about everything before and after it many times, and I don't think there is anything wrong."

Fang Ruxuan snuggled into Bai Shi's arms, and said a little disappointed.

"It's okay, you can't remember it, so someone can. Good boy, take care of yourself, and leave the rest to grandma, okay?"

Like coaxing a child, Bai Shi said softly.

"Grandmother, what are you going to do and how do you do it? Tell me, okay, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, let's do it together."

On Fang Ruxuan's face, there was some eagerness after grief.

Looking at the immature granddaughter in front of him, and thinking about the things she said just now, Mrs. Bo had to use the word early wisdom to describe her.

After hesitating for a while, she said softly: "After your mother died, some of the people around her retired and returned to their hometowns. I sent someone to find them. Since what happened back then, I don't think they would have nothing to do. I didn't see it, I checked one by one, there will always be clues. As for Su Yuan..."

The smile on Bai's face became softer, "She deliberately killed my daughter and climbed up to the position of Princess Qi. Then, I will let her fall heavily. Of course, I won't let her fall to her death, fall to her death What a pity? The days to come are still long, I have to let her watch carefully, even if she is alive, she is not as good as my dead daughter."

At this moment, Bai Shi, like the green pine tree in the corner of the yard, exuded a proud aura all over her body, as if Su Yuan's fate was in her hands.

Even if Su Yuan is the honorable Princess Qi.

Fang Ruxuan looked up at such a grandmother, and suddenly thanked Su Yuan very much. If she hadn't come to the Su Mansion, Fang Ruxuan might not have the chance to see her grandmother, and would not have such a strong backing.

"Grandma, I listen to you."

Fang Ruxuan smiled sweetly.

In the evening, someone from Cunhuiyuan asked Fang Ruxuan to come over, saying that Su Yuan and his party were leaving for the palace.

Eldest young mistress Xu came to invite Fang Ruxuan to Lanxuan, and Bai said kindly, "You go to the West Mansion and invite Yuan girl and the two ladies over for dinner. It has been many years since I saw her. She has become a princess, and I haven't given it to her yet." Congratulations."

The surprise on Xu's face was obvious, and he almost turned around in a daze to leave.

Behind him, Mrs. Bo continued to give instructions: "The dinner is served in the autumn garden, just our wives. Go and say hello to the old man and the old lady."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bai got up and took Fang Ruxuan's hand, and walked out to Lanxuan.

At dinner time, the autumn garden was brightly lit. Seeing Mrs. Bai lovingly serving the dishes on the table to Fang Ruxuan, Su Yuan slandered suspiciously: Is this the aunt her mother said she didn't care about foreign affairs, ate fast and recited Buddhism?
It was getting dark when Bai Shi took Fang Ruxuan's hand and sent them out.

At the second gate, pointing to the two carriages in the alley with the logo of Su Mansion, Bai Shi pulled Fang Ruxuan and said: "Those are all for you, if you want anything else, remember to tell grandma."

Looking at the gifts in the two carriages, Su Yuan's face was calm, Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui's eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Mrs. Miao only gave them a pair of bracelets and a pair of pearl flowers.
