With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
The evening clouds were like fire, the lake was sparkling, and the sky was like brocade.
The outside of the library was still busy.
The books that had been dried were moved back to the library. Nothing went wrong during the period. Yu Tingwan just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tan Jiang hurried in.
"Madam."
Seeing her eyes wide open and her spirits flying, Yu Tingwan's mood was much brighter.
"What's the good news?"
Yu Tingwan thought for a while and asked, "You got beaten again?"
"Not this time!"
Tan Jiang: "Fu Meng got into trouble outside."
Yu Tingwan:...
He got into trouble outside, why are you so excited?
The people in the Wei family army are really not normal.
But when Tan Jiang said this, Yu Tingwan remembered that he hadn't seen the shadow of Fu Meng all day.
"What's wrong?"
"He got angry again and bullied people?"
Tan Jiang: "I received news that Fu Meng was rushing back to eat and bumped into the second prince who had just got on the carriage to go out."
Yu Tingwan frowned and stood up.
The second prince Ying Zhi is not a good person, but he is a prince after all. If the horse is frightened and runs around in the street, it may hurt the people on the road again.
"Don't worry, Madam, the horse was restrained by the Wei family army guarding Fu Meng, and there was no chaos. It was just that the carriage was knocked over and the second prince fell out in a mess."
Tan Jiang: "The second prince cursed a little beast. Fu Meng knew that he had caused trouble and wanted to escape, but he heard it. In a rage, he slapped the carriage to pieces."
Such an ancestor, the Wei family army couldn't stop it.
Yu Tingwan:...
"It felt that its paw was hurt again, it's all the second prince's fault. It squatted directly in the second prince's mansion to ask for compensation."
"Look, the second prince sent someone to ask the person in charge of the family to come over."
Yu Tingwan:...
How embarrassing.
The naughty child caused trouble, and the parents were invited.
The gate of the second prince's mansion was closed, and there was a crowd in front of the gate.
Even if the people were rushing home, they would stop by here. In a short while, the Second Prince's mansion was surrounded by three circles inside and outside.
"What happened? Did someone offend General Wei's tiger?"
"That's not the case. It was the white tiger that bumped into the Second Prince."
But the crowd was obviously biased.
"What happened to the Second Prince? The road is so wide, why did the white tiger bump into him? If he had just moved a little, this wouldn't have happened."
"Yes. Fu Meng knew that it was getting late and he had to go home for dinner. The Second Prince's legs were not good to begin with, so why would he go out?"
The crowd began to look around.
"Where is the Second Prince?" "He
went into the mansion to tidy up his clothes."
"Why didn't the white tiger go in?"
"Who dares to let him in? What if he goes in and demolishes the Second Prince's mansion?" Fu Meng,
who became the focus, was looked at by these people with an arrogant look. As he listened, he felt that he was not wrong! He became more and more justified.
It was all because of that bitch Ying Zhi who was sick and didn't hide.
Thinking of something, he began to bang on the door.
Seeing that the people inside did not respond, Fu Meng walked back and forth anxiously.
"What does this mean?"
What else could it mean!
It was time for Fu Meng to eat.
He was hungry!
It was fine if the bitch didn't let him in. As a tiger who knew etiquette, he couldn't force his
way in! But why didn't they bring him food!
This is so unkind to guests!!!
It! Even if Fu Meng went to the palace, the imperial kitchen would prepare food for him!!
"Cack, cack, cack."
A crow flew from nowhere and hovered in the sky, and finally landed steadily on the majestic lion head standing outside the mansion, tilting its head and rolling its green bean-sized eyes.
Inside the mansion, Ying Zhi, who had changed into a robe, walked into the backyard with a dark face.
The maidservant outside saw him coming and hurriedly greeted him. Ying Zhi ignored her and strode forward, pushing the door open.
In the room, Yao Ru was chatting and laughing with the old woman, embroidering tiger-head shoes for little babies. Hearing the noise, he looked over and saw that it was him. The smile on his face disappeared.
Ying Zhi acted as if he didn't see him, and only asked coldly: "Where is Dun'er?"
"Just went to bed."
Ying Zhi: "I'll go see."
He went to the inner room.
He left a sentence.
"Dinner is here for you."
Yao Ru didn't stop him, nor did she follow him, and continued to do the work in her hands.
The maidservant beside her was a loyal servant who had served her for many years. She wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she whispered in her ear: "I know there are some things that Madam doesn't like to hear, but I have to bite the bullet and mention it."
"No matter how bad the master is, he at least cares about the young master. You and the master and his wife are already estranged. You can't just keep being cold and want to push people away, which will benefit the concubines in the backyard ."
"I know that you are suffering, Madam, but you have to live your whole life in the future."
She wanted to say something, but met Yao Ru's cold eyes and fell silent.
Madam wanted to commit suicide before getting on the bridal sedan. It was her biological mother who knelt on the ground and begged her desperately.
In these years, how many days has Madam been satisfied?
Yao Ru said indifferently: "He cares about it because Dun Ge'er is the legitimate son."
If she gave birth to a daughter, would Ying Zhi come to visit from time to time?
"As the legal wife, I have added incense to him."
It can be considered as fulfilling her duty.
So many beautiful women rushed to serve Ying Zhi, why should she join in the fun?
"I never depend on him for my living. As for Dun Ge's status as a legitimate son, as long as he does his duty as a father, nothing will go wrong for Dun Ge."
But obviously. Ying Zhi
has too many thoughts.
As a mother, she does not want her children to participate in the fight for the throne.
But this is not something she can decide. All
Yao Ru can do is live every day well and not think too much.
The old woman felt bitter when she heard her words. How can a wife not depend on a man for her life.
Footsteps came from the inner room again, and Ying Zhi saw the child coming out.
He sat down on the sandalwood chair on the left side of Yao Ru, took the tea brought by the old woman, but was not in a hurry to drink it, and looked at his taciturn wife beside him.
"I heard that you have been trying to teach him to roll over these days?"
Yao Ru: "Yes."
"That's right. When he learns, I will take him to the palace to show him to father."
Ying Zhi: "Dun Ge'er is the first grandson of father, and he mentioned him the other day. It can be seen that he is valued."
Yao Ru put down the needlework: "How old is he? Do you want to use him to win favor?"
This question is too direct.
Ying Zhi's face suddenly became bad.
"What are you talking about?" "
I came to your room and made you so uncomfortable. You just found fault with me as soon as you opened your mouth?"
Yao Ru didn't want to argue with him.
"You worry too much. Dun Ge'er made a fuss during the day, and I was tired of taking care of him."
Seeing her mention her son, Ying Zhi's solemn face was slightly relieved.
"It's better for the child to cry and make a fuss. Don't cry and make a fuss."
He thought of something, and his eyes were disdainful: "The one in the East Palace didn't cry and make a fuss before, but he was a fool."
Ying Zhi glanced at Yao Ru again.
Yao Ru is a beauty, no doubt.
But now she doesn't put on makeup to cover up her complexion, and she doesn't dress up like the concubines in the backyard, so her appearance is discounted: "You don't look good. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you later."
This seems to be considerate, but Yao Ru didn't react at all. She
was forced to enter the palace before she was out of confinement, and her body was left with a root cause of illness.
It was all caused by this person.
