Chapter 410 Originally an enemy
Pei Shaorong was the Crown Princess. Today was her wedding day with the Crown Prince. She was too busy to leave and had no time to talk to her companions. She could only nod from a distance across the guests, with a slightly apologetic look in her eyes.
Xu Muhua also saw the Minister of Revenue and his family at the banquet.
The sister of Princess Kang and the two children she gave birth to. Her sons are now married and have children, and she has become a grandmother, but Yunniang died early.
Xu Muhua's straightforward gaze fell on them without fear of others seeing anything suspicious. There were too many guests tonight. Even if someone paid attention to her with the intention of seeing her laugh at first, they would divert their attention after a while.
It was Xu's mother who gently pulled her sleeve to make her more restrained.
Xu's mother also knew that the Minister of Revenue was the man who had abandoned his second sister-in-law in order to climb up the social ladder.
Being in
the same capital, even if they did not interact with each other, they knew a little about the affairs of each family. She had met the wife of the Minister of Revenue before, but not much. But she never thought that she would have such a thing happen to her and bear the responsibility of killing a person.
I heard that the relationship between the couple has always been very good!
The man did not have a concubine in the backyard, only his wife, who gave birth to a pair of children. The son has now entered the officialdom, and the daughter has not yet left the house, and she is also cute and lovely. It seems that they are indeed very happy and enviable.
But when she thought of Yunniang, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with them. She felt that their happiness was very disgusting and stained with human blood.
"Don't look at it, be careful not to arouse suspicion."
Xu's mother reminded in a low voice.
Xu Muhua retracted her gaze and smiled at her, "Mom, it's okay, no one will notice it. With so many people around, who will pay attention to me!"
Xu's mother glared at her, "Don't you know whether anyone is paying attention to you?"
Just because of her status as a concubine, there are so many people staring at her openly or secretly!
Xu Muhua quickly raised her hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I won't look at it."
If you don't want to look, then continue eating!
Fortunately, it is not winter now, otherwise all the food served would be cold and you would not be able to eat a single bite. Although it is not hot now, it tastes good anyway.
She took a sip of wine after taking a bite of the dish, enjoying it.
"Mom, are we getting to know the eldest lady of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion?"
The girl next to Cui suddenly asked softly.
Cui was just talking to her sister. When she heard her daughter ask this, she looked at the Chengguo Mansion and asked, "We don't have much contact. What's wrong?"
"I just saw that she seemed to be staring at us."
The look in her eyes was strange!
Princess Kang also heard what her niece said and sneered, "She was probably looking at me!"
Before she asked, Princess Kang took the initiative to say, "I and Qingning had some conflicts with this Xu Muhua. This person is a bit weird. If you meet her in the future, don't argue with her. Avoid her if you can."
Princess Kang didn't mention that Xu Muhua knew her secret. She felt that Xu Muhua was too weird. She still didn't figure out how Xu Muhua knew her secret. If she
didn't figure it out for a day, she felt like a sword was hanging over her head. She didn't know when it would fall and pierce her neck. It's
not that she hadn't thought about getting rid of Xu Muhua, but that damn girl was so fearless, and she didn't know whether what she said was true or false, so she couldn't afford the risk.
What if, as she said, something happened to her, her secret would spread throughout the capital immediately, and then she would have only one end, and that was death!
The emperor would not let her go!
Xu Muhua would die, and she would be worthless anyway.
But she was Princess Kang! She was exquisite porcelain, and Xu Muhua was just a piece of tile, and it was not worth her sacrificing herself to destroy her.
Others didn't know, but didn't she know how many secrets her sister and brother-in-law had? If she ran into Xu Muhua, what if... Although it seemed unlikely, Princess Kang thought it was better not to take the risk.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Princess Kang's sister didn't know the reason, and she was immediately unhappy when she heard her say that.
"You are the Princess Kang, are you afraid of a little daughter of a duke?"
Everyone knows that because of the death of King Kang, the emperor has been very tolerant and favored the Kang Palace. Now there are only two people left in the Kang Palace, my sister and Qingning. As long as they don't make big mistakes, they don't have to worry about their lives. The royal family will support them for the rest of their lives!
She has now forgotten the good things her sister has done in private.
Princess Kang's face sank, "You don't understand, anyway, you just listen to me!"
Seeing her face sank, Cui suppressed her dissatisfaction in her heart and said nothing more. But she didn't really take Princess Kang's words to heart.
She has been on the rise these years! She was born in a good family and married a man who won the third place in the imperial examination. After the marriage, her husband treated her as before for ten years, and she was the only woman in the backyard.
Her elder sister is a princess. Although her brother-in-law is dead, the Kangwang Mansion has the protection of the emperor. No one dares to say anything to her elder sister even if she walks around the capital. As
the younger sister, she naturally benefited from it. Even the old man was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in just a dozen years!
Which other woman in the capital is as lucky as her? Her son is also promising, and I believe he will bring her greater glory in the future!
As for her daughter, she has recently been thinking about betrothing her daughter to the second young master of the Prime Minister's family. If this marriage is successful, you can imagine how much benefit it will bring.
Her life is destined to be brilliant!
So now asking her to avoid a little girl, isn't this stepping on her face? Others have always avoided her, flattered her, and praised her. When did she have to bow her head?
Not only did Cui not listen to Princess Kang's words, on the contrary, she also took note of Xu Muhua in her heart.
Xu Muhua didn't know that she was hated by others again. But if she knew, she would probably applaud, so that she would have more reason to deal with the other party.
Others were socializing, watching dancers, drinking, or quietly observing the young talents and rich ladies at the banquet. Only Xu Muhua buried her head in eating and drinking. In the end, she ate her whole belly.
She reached out and touched her belly.
Alas, it's been three months!
"Puff!"
A stealth laugh sounded, Xu Muhua turned her head quickly and saw Yuan An trying hard to hold back his laughter, looking at her with a teasing look. It was obvious that he had seen all her little movements just now.
Xu Muhua: "..."
Brother Yuan, are you polite?
Xu's mother and the old lady also noticed the movement behind them, and turned around to see the three of them.
The three of them saluted quickly, and then sat down next to Xu Nan.
