Chapter 2 If you are a lion in the forest, don't be a docile cat
"Pah pah pah!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones being crushed, the screams of pain spread far away.
"Well!" Baby Ruoxi moved her body and sighed with satisfaction: "Mother is a princess, she must be majestic and domineering, weak chickens can only be bullied!"
Xiaoyue lowered her head and met her daughter's eyes that had just opened like black glass. Her heart was full of warmth.
Facing the light, Ruoxi looked at the woman's unfamiliar but reassuring face. She squinted her eyes and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Well, mother is so beautiful, no wonder the history books say she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
After thinking for a while, baby Ruoxi stretched out her arms again, thinking: "Hey, the history books say that my uncle is also the most beautiful man in Wei, mighty and domineering, but I don't know what he looks like. Wei will be destroyed in three years, what a pity!"
"..." Xiaoyue's face turned pale, the baby once again said that Wei would be destroyed in three years.
Moreover, the baby just said that the destruction of Wei was related to Shangguan Jinghong...
The front yard of the general's mansion.
A servant ran to the front hall in a panic, trembling, "Madam, Madam, it's bad, the princess, the princess..."
"Is she born? The doctor who came to the palace said it was a girl, is it or not?" The old lady, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, picked up the teacup calmly, sipped the drink, and sighed softly, saying: "Five years ago, Ruilin was born prematurely, and now, it is premature again. What evil has my Shangguan family done!"
"She gave birth, it's a girl!" The servant knelt on the ground, his head almost hanging to the ground: "It's just that the princess, the princess's mood changed drastically, and she crushed Madam Qi's hands!"
"What?"
"Pah!"
With a loud shout, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The old lady of the general's mansion stood up suddenly. Her face turned cold and dark in an instant. She held the Buddhist beads tightly in her hands, as if she wanted to crush them.
She led people to the backyard quickly. The old lady Hu adjusted the collar of her dark blue first-rank official uniform at the door, and then walked in with her head held high.
"What's the matter? Princess, what are you doing?" When Hu entered the door, she saw a maid with two swollen faces lying on the ground on one side, and Madam Qi lying on the ground in front of her, who had fainted.
On the ground, blood mixed with fallen teeth, Madam Qi's face was swollen like a pig's head, especially her hands, which were swollen and black, and probably useless.
Hu's body was shaken by shock. If she hadn't been caught by the servants who followed her, she would have fallen to the ground. She screamed and shouted at Hongmei and Dongju who were standing beside her: "What's going on? Are you two bastards crazy?"
"I asked them to beat you." A voice, gentle, but every word, like a little hammer, hit people's hearts.
"You... Sir, Princess, why are you like this?" Hu turned her head and looked at the open bedroom. She frowned and asked.
"Mother-in-law, I have a request." Xiao Yue patted the child and said without waiting for Mrs. Hu's response, "Mother Qi wanted to kill my child while I was giving birth. Her intention is despicable, but I think this old woman must have accomplices. I will not feel at ease if I don't find out. Therefore, I trouble you to report to the authorities as a lady of imperial order and ask them to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Kill, kill the child? This, this Madam Qi, she is so cruel?" Hu's tongue was a little tied, not knowing whether she was frightened or surprised. She looked at Madam Qi on the ground, and then at Xiaoyue on the bed in the room. After a long while, she closed her eyes, and finally raised her feet to step over the threshold and entered the room: "Is the child okay?"
"The child is fine, so cute!" Xiaoyue patted the swaddling clothes in her arms gently, and only let Mrs. Hu take a look. When Mrs. Hu wanted to reach out, she held the child and moved away: "Mother-in-law just came from outside, and she is cold, don't scare the child!"
Baby Ruoxi had just been washed with warm water and changed clothes by Hongmei and Dongju. At this moment, she was drowsy. Listening to the conversation between her mother and Mrs. Hu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, this mother is good. You are a lion and tiger in the forest. Why do you want to be a docile cat? Good people are bullied. Do you understand?" Ruoxi found that she really liked being a little baby.
In her previous life, her master picked her up, taught her kung fu, and let her practice. Later, her master was killed, and she spent half her life looking for the murderer and killing for revenge.
Dangerous and lonely!
In this life, God has been kind to her and let her be a little baby. She just drank a few mouthfuls of milk, and now her belly is full. Her mother's arms are warm, and her mother knows how to protect her. This feeling is really good!
Xiao Yue lowered her eyes slightly, looked at her daughter in her arms, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Princess, I am your mother-in-law after all, so I have to say a few words to you." Mrs. Hu's face was a little gloomy. She stared at Xiaoyue, and while examining her, she said: "Madame Qi has been with me for decades. She will definitely not collude with outsiders to deal with the princess. Besides, we are a noble family. If we report to the police, it will not be good for Honger's reputation. People will say..."
"Mother-in-law thinks that the reputation of my husband is more important than my son's life?" Xiaoyue raised her eyes with a cold expression.
"Well, I'm not sleepy anymore, mother. If you don't agree, just do it. This old woman doesn't look like a good person!" Ruoxi stretched out her arms and complained in her heart.
"This, this is not..." Mrs. Hu was choked. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
"I am sleepy. If you are all right, please go and deal with that old hag. If my mother and my brother know about this, they will not let me off easily." Xiao Yue said, her eyelids drooping, and she just focused on coaxing the little girl to sleep.
It was so abnormal that Hu wanted to question Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue not only ignored her, but also brought up the royal family to pressure her, which made her feel a little afraid to get angry.
Madam Qi and the two maids were dragged away, and Hu returned to the side hall in the front yard. She sat on a chair with a frown.
"Madam, this is strange!" Butler Lai Fu stepped forward, bent over, and whispered.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I don't know that this is strange!" Mrs. Hu glanced at her cousin from her mother's family, sighed, and said, "For six years, Hong'er coaxed her, and she listened to us wholeheartedly, never having the slightest rebellious mentality. Even the two maids were very restrained before, but today, they are strange!"
"Then what should we do next?" Lai Fu asked.
"What can we do? She is spoiled by the empress dowager. Even though it was like that six years ago, the empress dowager still sent so many things every year, and the emperor often bothered her. She has a powerful backer, and we can't use force." Mrs. Hu shook her head.
