The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 31
"How could it be him!"

Speaking of which, this happened seven years ago. At that time, Mrs. Tang had just secured her position as the hostess of the Marquis's Mansion, and had just climbed up to Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Qingli family of Dali Temple. Because Mrs. Tang was very good at flattering, the two became close friends. Good sister.

Li Ningxuan was the only son of the Liu family, so he spoiled him a little lawlessly, and he was a well-known playboy at a young age.However, the Li family is quite powerful, and Dali Siqing is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, so the down-and-out Anyihou Mansion is a bit higher.

Tang and Xie Anhua thought of getting married to the Li family. It happened that Liu also felt that Xie Xinqin had the demeanor of a lady at a very young age, and she was cute and cute, so they divided a piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant into two, A verbal engagement was made.

However, no one thought that Lord Li wrongly judged the unjust case, and the other party was the royal family and nobles, and the one who died was a county king.Facing the anger from the royal family, Master Li was demoted to commoners, and the whole family was expelled from the capital.

When the Li family encountered such an accident, Xie Anhua was afraid of being implicated, so he did not dare to lend a helping hand, and even wished to separate himself from the Li family.Xie Anhua and Tang shi were even more relieved when the Li family was demoted to civilians and returned to their hometown of Luoyang. After that, they naturally forgot about the so-called marriage contract.

"Master, what should we do now? Is it possible that we really want our precious daughter to marry that dude Li Ningxuan?" Tang spun around anxiously, feeling extremely regretful.If she hadn't deliberately made friends with Liu's back then to form this marriage, she wouldn't have hurt Qin'er for the rest of her life.

If Li Ningxuan was still the son of Dali Siqing, she would recognize even a dude, but now Li Ningxuan is just a commoner.She sent someone to check, and this time Qiu Wei didn't even enter the top four hundred. If it weren't for the accident, His Majesty's grace, he wouldn't even be able to pass the exam!
How can such a man with no identity and no ability be a lover, let alone worthy of her precious daughter!But now people have come to the door, and they have proposed a marriage contract with tokens. If the An Yihou Mansion refuses to accept it, if Li Ningxuan makes a big deal of it, the An Yihou Mansion's face will be completely lost!

"Okay, ma'am, don't worry too much. Although we have made a marriage contract, it is only a verbal agreement after all, and there is no marriage certificate. From my point of view, Li Ningxuan is not ignorant, otherwise, he It's not like he came to you just now. Anyway, the boy said that now he has to concentrate on preparing for Chunwei, and he will never mention marriage if he fails to pass the exam. He is ambitious, and he only needs to make some troubles during the exam. Then let him realize the gap between himself and Qin'er, and take the initiative to retreat in the face of difficulties!"

Xie Anhua didn't take Li Ningxuan to heart, although it was a bit troublesome, but Li Ningxuan only had his widowed mother Liu in Luoyang, so he couldn't make any trouble at all.Seeing this, Tang couldn't say anything more.

"What my husband said is that the concubine has lost her composure."

"During this time, Li Ningxuan will live in our house, you take good care of it, just don't make any excuses."

Tang nodded yes, and sent Xie Anhua away, but the worry on her face remained undiminished.She told the servants beside her: "Don't let this matter reach Qin'er's ears. Her temperament will definitely make things stand still!"

"Ma'am, this servant thinks that you really don't have to worry so much. The verbal engagement at the beginning was about the eldest lady of An Yihou's mansion. But now there is a real eldest lady in our mansion?"

"What does Mammy mean?" Tang shi placed her eyes on her nanny Huamao, motioning for her to continue talking.

"Ma'am, speaking of it, Mr. Li only met Miss once when he was a child. After all these years, how could Mr. Li still remember Miss's appearance? Anyway, the verbal marriage contract at the beginning was about the young lady who settled down in the Marquis of Anyi's mansion. As long as we don't tell the truth, how can Mr. Li know who is the eldest lady?"

"You're right. Anyway, the master also agreed. Choose a man from among the humble scholars who participated in the imperial examination this time to marry her off. Since this man surnamed Li hits the door, why not marry him, and solve the problem instead. Two troubles can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Tang's face showed joy, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. After thinking for a while, she decided to secretly add fuel to the flames, and immediately gave instructions to Nanny Hua.

"What, move out?"

Xie Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the enthusiastic Tang in front of her, she secretly groaned.Originally, today she planned to go out secretly like before, but unexpectedly encountered obstacles, because Tang Corps sent someone to summon her again.

When she came to the inner courtyard full of doubts, Tang told her such "good news" with a smile.

"Yes, you were not in good health when you came back. The doctor said that you need to rest, that's why he arranged you in that remote place. Girl, mother knows that you have been wronged, but now your body will be almost the same. Now, it's time to move back to the inner courtyard. Mother knows that you like quietness, so this time I specially took care of the Jingqiu Garden, so you can live in it in the future!"

"There's no need for mother. In fact, I live quite well in the side courtyard. It's so troublesome to move around. I really don't need it!"

Xie Xinyue quickly refused, just kidding, she doesn't want to leave the side courtyard at all, okay?Such a good location, far away from people she doesn't want to be in contact with in the An Yihou Mansion, and can easily go out dressed as a man.But if she really moved to the inner courtyard, it would be impossible for her to go out!
"You child is just too painful. How can the majestic young lady of the Anyihou Mansion live in a place like a side courtyard? When it gets out, won't it be said that my stepmother treated you harshly? And your father has already Agreed, it's settled like this, Hongyu, I'll send some servants over in a while, and you arrange to move all the eldest lady's things over!"

Tang's tone was not to be questioned. Xie Xinyue understood that no matter how much she objected, it would be futile, and on the contrary, an overly insistent attitude would arouse Tang's suspicion.In desperation, she could only nod her head in acknowledgment, but secretly wondered what Tang's plan was.

Suddenly he became nice to her again, could it be that Prince Cheng's Mansion expressed concern for her again?At this moment, Xie Xinyue could be said to be extremely annoyed, this result was not what she wanted at all.

After Tang Corps spoke, the people under his command acted quickly, and at night, the new Jingqiu Garden had already been tidied up.This courtyard is located between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. Compared with the main courtyard of Tang and others, it is somewhat remote, but the courtyard is very large and the environment is very good.

The cheap scumbag father has three sons and four daughters in total. Except for the two sons and one daughter from the Tang family, the others are all born to concubines.Xie Xinyue has four younger sisters in total, corresponding to the four characters "qinqi, calligraphy and painting", but because of identity issues, she doesn't know any of them except Xie Xinqin.

This time when they moved to the inner courtyard, Tang Corps also arranged for her to meet with everyone.Xie Xinyue also knew that the cheap scumbag father had three concubines, and the most favored Aunt Huang gave birth to the third young master Xie Jinheng and the second young lady Xie Xinqi.In addition, Aunt Pang and Aunt Zhang have the third daughter Xie Xinshu and the fourth daughter Xie Xinhua respectively.

Aunt Huang was born enchanting, and her daughter Xie Xinqi followed her mother. She has outstanding looks at a young age, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes with affectionate brows, which is very touching.Aunt Pang and Aunt Zhang are Xiaojia Biyu and Konggu Youlan. Xie Xin is a scholar as his name suggests, but his delicate appearance is full of bookishness.On the other hand, Xie Xinhua's youngest is only six years old, she's the first of a little radish, but she's born a jade carving, a natural beauty.

As for her eldest daughter, she is actually a marginalized existence in the Hou Mansion, and even the title of eldest miss exists in name only.However, what made her feel strange was that Tang Corps admitted her identity as a young lady in front of everyone, and even changed the rankings of several other young ladies.

Because of Tang's absolute right to speak in the mansion, none of the aunts and ladies showed any objection, and respectfully stepped forward and called her "big sister".Even Xie Xinqin, who has always been proud and arrogant, lowered her proud head and called "big sister" awkwardly.

Jingqiu Garden's decorations are exquisite everywhere, much better than those in the partial courtyard, and even the servant Tang who is serving him has called four of them to come over.The wind in this house changed so quickly, which made Hongyu a little excited. She used to think that there would be no future with Miss Xie Xinyue, but after being poisoned and threatened by Xie Xinyue, she had no choice but to serve her unwillingly.

But now, Tang's suddenly paid more attention to the daughter born to his ex-wife, and let her live in the inner courtyard, which also showed that following Xie Xinyue actually had a chance of prosperity and wealth.Anyway, he is already a grasshopper in the province now, Hongyu feels that it is time for him to show his loyalty, and it is best for the eldest lady to cure her poison.

"Ugh!"

Xie Xinyue frowned, dragged her cheeks and sighed. She had already observed that although the courtyard was still a bit remote, there was no longer a wall that would allow her to leave the house at will.Could it be that she really can only be trapped in this Jingqiu Garden in the future and can't get out again?
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Xie Xinyue could only put it aside temporarily and make plans.

"Learn and learn from time to time, it's not easy to say..."

Early in the morning, Xie Xinyue vaguely heard the sound of Lang Lang's reading, and after washing and washing under Hong Yu's service, she asked while eating breakfast: "Who is reading outside?"

In her impression, among the three young masters of the Hou Mansion, Xie Jinyuan was the only one who was preparing for the next spring. As the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, Xie Jinyuan had his own yard for studying, so it was impossible for him to come here.

"My maidservant heard yesterday that Mr. Li came to the mansion to seek refuge. He is the son of an old friend of the master. Because he is going to prepare for the next year's spring, he will live in the Hou's mansion in the future. It is estimated that the yard where the wife arranged for him to live is in the In the Tingyu Pavilion opposite us, this Mr. Li is hardworking, he got up early in the morning to study."

"It was him!"

Xie Xinyue nodded, she already knew what Hongyu said.But it was quite surprising to her, cheap scum dad and Tang's did this, could it be said that they were willing to fulfill their marriage with Xie Xinqin?Is it raining red?
Anyway, it's none of her business, Xie Xinyue just thought about it and stopped paying attention. What she's worried about now is how to get out of this broken courtyard.Is Tang's arrangement like this a whim, or is there some other conspiracy?
Just when she was struggling, a little maid reported outside: "Miss Eldest, Miss Third, Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth have come to see you."
