From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 285 The Initiator

Having been with Ruan Xiangqin for many years, the Guan family is very clear about her ability. The most important thing is that the Ruan family is by no means comparable to the Shangguan family, and her nephews are also deeply relied on by the emperor.King Huai of Chu is a man of great interest, he will never divorce his wife and remarry because of a Shangguan Xinrou, let alone annoy the empress dowager.

The empress dowager has always been his greatest reliance, and the empress dowager has always been on his behalf for making big mistakes and not being punished.Therefore, he would never be so stupid as to lose his greatest reliance for a Shangguan with a soft heart.Besides, Ruan Xiangqin was not wrong, and he would never agree to divorce his wife without reason.

Because of this matter, the emperor was already furious, if the Ruan family started to make trouble again, then he, the lord, would probably be at the end of it.He is not stupid, how could he challenge the emperor head-on because of a woman.He will definitely compromise, obey, and apologize to the concubine properly, and continue to live his carefree and comfortable life as his wealthy idler.

As for Shangguan Xinrou, he is too lazy to care about her life and death. There are many women in his backyard who are of no use value.

Seeing that Old Liu was standing still with his brow deeply furrowed, as if he hadn't figured it out yet, Guan said again: "It's not been a day or two since you've been with the prince, you don't know what kind of person the prince is. He put all the blame on Shangguan Xinrou, which means that she has no use value and was abandoned. You don't know how much the empress dowager hated her back then. Even if she was a concubine, she would not be allowed in. I've tried my best for this. Do you think the queen mother will let her go if the prince is in jail now?"

Married people are still uneasy, and dare to associate with King Huai of Chu, rushing to let him sleep.As the instigator, the empress dowager, who loves her son and has nowhere to vent her anger, will never let her go.

When mentioning the Empress Dowager Lao Liu, one can't help but think of the marriage bestowed back then.Originally King Huai of Chu intended to marry Shangguan Xinrou, but the Empress Dowager refused.The mother and son had a quarrel over this, and the always docile and well-behaved King Huai of Chu was disobedient and unfilial for the first time.

The empress dowager couldn't stand it and couldn't do anything to her own son, so she could only work hard on Shangguan Xinrou.She thought that she would retreat in spite of the difficulties with words, but when she thought about it, she turned around and complained to King Huai of Chu.

King Huai of Chu was angry and felt that the Empress Dowager was despicable, so he secretly tried to beat the mandarin ducks to break them up.Young and angry, he spoke harshly, and the mother and son quarreled again.This quarrel was okay, but it made the empress dowager very angry.Thinking about letting his mother and son separate before they are married, if she is allowed in, the mother and son will not become enemies.Simply don't do it, don't stop, and immediately summon the emperor to issue a marriage decree.

At that time, Mei Zhannan made a great contribution. In order to vent her anger and disgust with Shangguan Xinrou, she persuaded the emperor to decree to grant a marriage to Shangguan Xinrou to fill in Mei Zhannan's house. It happened that she also cut off her son and took her as a concubine. thought.

Fearing that her son would get confused and cook the uncooked rice into cooked rice, she secretly beat Shangguan Zhe again.Shangguan's family is a noble and scholarly family, if the daughter of the family is a concubine, they will not be talked about.Therefore, in order to keep his reputation and the court clothes on his body, Shangguan Zhe had to lock up Shangguan Xinrou.

Shangguan Xinrou couldn't get out, and King Huai of Chu couldn't see her, so the relationship between the two had to be abandoned.Perhaps because they were afraid of long nights and many dreams, the wedding date was quickly set under the repeated request of the empress dowager.Moreover, the wedding date of the two families was set very close, within a few days, which was once passed down as a good story at that time.

After the two couples got married, the empress dowager thought that she could rest easy, and the person who thought of her being placed next to Shangguan Xinrou said that they met again.And she cried all the time, saying that she has not consummated the house with Mei Zhannan so far, in order to be guarded by King Huai of Chu, as if she were jade.

When the empress dowager heard that she was in serious trouble, her evil intentions were not dead, and she had to find a way to make Shangguan Xinrou live in peace.

If you want a woman to live a good life with a man and follow him wholeheartedly, that is to let her have children.Now that she has a child, she won't seduce her son anymore.Therefore, the empress dowager secretly instructed the person she placed to facilitate this matter.

That man knew Shangguan Xinrou's temper, and also knew that it was useless to say anything.In addition, Mei Zhannan is upright and upright, and will never force a woman.He simply went directly to the flower house to buy some incense, and added some love potion to her meal, and then invited Mei Zhannan to come over.A little incense, the effect of the medicine kicked in, she couldn't bear it, and naturally obeyed.

Things went well, the consummation was a success, the husband and wife have been tossing until dawn and nothing happened.But this is just the beginning, neither the process nor the ending develops as expected by the empress dowager.Shangguan Xinrou went crazy when she woke up, not only scolding Mei Zhannan for being mean and shameless, but also beating others.

Although Mei Zhannan doesn't beat women, he can't tolerate her going crazy.Therefore, Shangguan Xinrou told King Huai of Chu that Mei Zhannan forced her, and the reason why Lao Liu knew it was because she heard it when she was crying.

As a person who participated in it back then, Lao Liu knew the empress dowager's methods better than anyone else, and he also knew the virtues of King Huai of Chu.I couldn't bear it, but I had to take care of my family after all. I nodded and said, "It's too late, and it's not safe for the two women to go out now. Wait until dawn, and let them go when it's dawn. Go to bed first, and I'll ask you first." What happened. The prince and her not only have a daughter but also a son, even for the sake of the young master, they can't do it."

After finishing speaking, he opened the door and went out without waiting for Guan Shi to speak.

Guan was depressed, but she didn't chase her out. She kicked the door angrily and went to find her daughter.

In a coma and fleeing for their lives, Shangguan Xinrou's mother and daughter were extremely hungry after tossing all night.No matter what the couple muttered in the room, she ran to the kitchen to find two cold steamed buns and raw sweet potatoes, and took them back and put them on the brazier to roast.

Cheng Sichu thought it was dirty and decided not to eat it even if she was starving to death, but when the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted, her stomach gurgled uncontrollably.

Picking up two chopsticks and flipping them back and forth, Shangguan Xinrou turned to look at her and said, "The steamed buns are ready to eat, but the sweet potatoes will have to wait for a while. Go to the kitchen and bring two empty bowls, and pour some water later."

Shaking his head instinctively without thinking, Cheng Sichu refused without thinking, "I don't dare to go without a light, it's too dark."

He frowned slightly and opened his mouth to reprimand, but before she could speak, Old Liu came out.He said directly: "There is no light in the kitchen, I'll go."

After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen in three steps at a time.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shangguan Xinrou continued to move his hands, turning over the slices of steamed buns and said with a blank expression: "I don't know when I will see your father. From now on, you'd better learn to be self-reliant as soon as possible. At dawn we will Find a way to get out of the city. After we get out of the city, we can only rely on ourselves. From now on, you have to learn to do all the rough work of washing clothes and cooking. You also have to do embroidery work. Save and save."
