Chapter 86: Stepping on her life and climbing up
This time.
She wanted to use Chu Jiuning as a stepping stone in front of the whole world.
Trampling on her life.
Step by step, steadily, she becomes the legitimate daughter of the An family again!
Only by restoring her identity will she have the opportunity to become the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Song's Mansion and lay a solid foundation for becoming a princess in the future.
She has seen it.
Most of the wounds on Mrs. Song's body were caused by men's kneading and bumping.
The only one who could touch her in the palace was the emperor.
Maybe during the few days she was in the palace, she completely forgot about the Duke and spent every day with the Emperor. When the Emperor saw his former love, he was impulsive like a young boy and made her body covered with bruises and swelling.
While applying medicine to her, An Yinyin could imagine what kind of fierce battles those were!
and.
Since the Emperor was able to protect the Duchess's wife and Song Jinhuai in such a way, it was only a matter of time before His Highness's status was restored.
And she, the legitimate daughter of the An family, is just the right match.
Look up.
Looking at the Dajue Temple in the distance, which occupied the entire mountain area like a long dragon, An Yinyin's face was filled with smiles.
Maybe it won't be long.
She will also rise into the clouds like this temple.
The outside of the temple is prosperous, and the inside of the temple is also picturesque.
In groups of three or five.
Everywhere you look, you can see noble families greeting each other and having fun together.
Front.
It is a very large lake.
In the lake, there are clusters of koi fish weighing dozens of kilograms swimming around, which are especially popular with guests. From time to time, a handful of fish food is thrown near the lake, and the koi fish seem to have gotten used to it. Each one is lazier than the other, eating when they want to and swimming away when they don’t want to.
His honest and cute appearance made everyone reluctant to leave.
From time to time, I could hear the laughter of the young ladies and the exclamations of the children.
Turn your head.
An Yinyin looked at Chu Jiuning's cold and otherworldly appearance, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"You took everything from me. How can you be so shameless and calm? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Chu Jiuning looked at the koi swimming freely in the lake, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Mrs. An, if you have time to think about these things, why not spend some time trying to figure out what went wrong in the Song Mansion and why they suddenly set their sights on me? Also, if you were rich and powerful, do you think they would still go to such lengths to marry someone else?"
"What's the meaning?"
An Yinyin was suddenly shocked.
"What kind of problems could possibly arise in a dignified Duke's Mansion? You're trying to sow discord, right? Otherwise, if you knew there was a problem, why would you marry into my family and take my place?"
If it weren't for her, I don't know how favored and happy I would be. She ruined it all.
"It's you who made Jinbao lose his father, and it's you who made me lose my husband."
"Is Song Jinhuai dead?"
Chu Jiuning asked coldly.
An Yinyin was speechless for a moment, anger rising in her heart. As long as she got Chu Jiuning's property, Song Jinhuai would definitely marry her. This was not a conflict.
so.
The most important thing right now, besides returning to the An family, is to get her property!
The lake meanders along the mountain to the right. There is a big willow tree in front that hangs down into the water, blocking a lot of vision. People are dimly visible and everyone's attention is on the koi. An Yinyin suddenly looks strange. She rolls her eyes, looks around, and quickly walks to a stone as tall as a person. She kicks something into the lake.
Chu Jiuning's heart skipped a beat and she looked at her with a frown.
But she found that An Yinyin was inexplicably terrified, pointing at her and screaming.
"Chu Jiuning, what did you do? You pushed a child into the lake? You killed someone! You killed someone!"
Said.
An Yinyin pulled out the hairpin on her head, threw it to the ground, and jumped into the water.
There were loud noises one after another, and a woman's shrill screams, which immediately attracted countless eyes. Then people gathered over here, and when they saw the ripples on the water surface, they suddenly panicked.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did someone fall into the water?"
There were guards everywhere in the temple, but for some reason, there were none here.
Those who brought their children out quickly looked for their children, and only held them tightly until they were sure that they were okay, and then turned around and left.
"Oh, I remember this lake was very deep."
Someone turned around and ran into the woods, picked up a long stick and reached under the water. As a result, his arm was soaked in water, and it felt like he hadn't reached the bottom yet. The man's face changed.
"No, no, it's too deep. There's mud at the bottom. If someone falls in and can't swim, they'll probably get smashed into the mud. There's also deep aquatic plants."
For a while.
All the strange and frightened eyes fell on Chu Jiuning, as if thousands of arrows pierced his heart.
Chu Jiuning clenched his long fingers tightly.
This An Yinyin actually kicked a child into the water. Knowing what everyone was thinking, she sighed softly in her heart and said coldly.
"It's not me. She's just the thief crying thief."
"She pushed someone down, then went to rescue them. Was she kidding us?"
Obviously.
No one believes Chu Jiuning.
And at this moment.
An Yinyin swam skillfully in the water, pushing aside the soft water plants and reaching out to grab the child, with a look of great pride in her eyes.
He jumped up.
But for some reason, her body not only did not float up, but was pulled back to the surface. An Yinyin frowned and hurriedly jumped up again, but after repeating this several times, her ankle was wrapped tighter and tighter, causing her pain.
no.
She became frightened, let go of the child, and bent down to touch her ankle.
It is indeed water grass.
Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance. She quickly took out a small dagger and hurriedly cut them off one by one.
When I reached out to touch the child again, I found that the water had pushed the child away to some unknown place, or perhaps the child had been swallowed by the water plants.
The cold water rushed into her limbs like crazy. An Yinyin was completely panicked. If she couldn't find the child, he would be drowned.
No, no, no, I can't die.
She still has to rely on this life-saving grace to return to the An family.
Mrs. Song relied on the grace of saving her life to make the emperor never forget her and be deeply affectionate to her. She can also achieve her goal with this grace.
I was extremely anxious.
She ignored the suffocation and groped under the water again.
Not far behind me.
Two people approached her silently and slowly, grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled it down hard.
An Yinyin's body fell down uncontrollably.
ashore.
Chu Jiuning looked at the still lake surface and raised her hand. Qingsong, who was hiding not far away, immediately came over.
"It's just a child after all, go and rescue him."
Although he said that the purpose of this life is revenge, he couldn't bear it after all because he didn't know who that child was.
Qingsong nodded.
He jumped into the water and dived in to search.
But soon, Qingsong climbed up and whispered to Chu Jiuning with a serious face.
"Miss, the situation is not good. There are still people down there."
"What's the meaning?"
Is there someone else down there besides An Yinyin and that child?
What to do down there?
"I don't know for sure, but they tried to drive me away."
If you are not specially trained, it is difficult to sense their presence. Those people are very good at swimming. They can move freely in the water and hold their breath for a long time.
“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?”
Should we kill An Yinyin or the child?
Chu Jiuning's face darkened.
"Go again and try to save as many as you can."
Qingsong nodded, and pointed to two brothers hiding in the distance. Just as they were about to jump down together, they saw the water suddenly churn.
really.
Two strangers emerged from the water, one holding An Yinyin and the other holding the child, and swam hard towards the shore.
Qingsong immediately stepped forward and helped them get the person up, then reached for the child's neck.
When Chu Jiuning saw that the child had a sallow face and a swollen abdomen, her heart ached. This An Yinyin had killed another life.
After the two men laid An Yinyin and the child flat on the ground, they quickly pressed on their chests in an attempt to wake them up. After a while, when everyone's heart was in their throat, An Yinyin suddenly turned her head and vomited a large mouthful of dirty water.
Scared to death.
It was really scary.
He almost lost more than he gained, and he almost died.
"It's okay now, don't be afraid."
The man patted her back gently.
The unfamiliar voice startled An Yinyin awake, and she screamed and stepped back, slapping the man in the face with her hand, then looked around in horror.
"Xiaohuai, Xiaohuai."
This child named Xiao Huai is from the An family and is the legitimate son of her eldest brother An Jueming.
then.
Although her mother was the principal wife, Minister An had already kept a concubine outside and had a son with her. After her mother died of complications during childbirth, Minister An quickly took the concubine back and married her as his second wife. So An Jueming was the eldest son and An Yinyin was the second daughter.
years ago.
She secretly bribed Xiao Huai's wet nurse and maid, and gave them a large sum of money when they met just now, asking them to secretly take the child out and let him play behind a big rock.
Then, when no one was paying attention, she kicked the child into the water.
When the time comes.
As long as she insists.
Chu Jiuning treated Xiao Huai as her treasure and pushed him into trouble. The An family would regard her as an enemy, and she would naturally become the An family's benefactor.
She will use some other means to create some auspicious signs in the temple that point to her.
After the Buddhist meeting.
A fortune teller will appear in the An Mansion and tell them that he is the reincarnation of a lucky star. He will then let them know that Song Jinhuai is the emperor's son and that he is the future princess. By then, he will not be afraid that the An family will not come to beg him to go back.
"Xiao Huai, how are you?"
An Yinyin trembled and rushed forward, pushing away the person who was saving Xiao Huai, and without even looking at him, she hugged Xiao Huai in her arms.
Messy room.
She looked up at Chu Jiuning and cried.
"Jinbao and Xiaohuai are of the same age and brothers. They are wearing the same clothes today. You mistook him for Jinbao, right? Chu Jiuning, if you can't tolerate us, you can send us away. Even if you want to kill my son, you should first find out if it is him. Why would you just push a child into the water? This is a life."
Everyone listened to An Yinyin's crying, sorted out the reasons, and understood what was going on.
after all.
Things in the Song Mansion have been very serious recently and everyone knows about it.
"She actually dared to kill someone in this important Buddhist place. She thinks her sins are not deep enough. Such a person must not be allowed to remain in this world."
"This wife is too arrogant. She actually dared to kill someone in front of so many of us."
"What's going on? Whose house is this?"
An Yinyin listened to everyone's discussion and was overjoyed. Then she widened her eyes in panic and cried out in tears.
"Please save my nephew, please. My eldest brother only has this one son, and he is innocent."
After saying that, he shouted at Chu Jiuning at the top of his lungs.
"If you have anything to say, come at me. I can kill you or chop you up. Why would you want to harm a child?"
She cried with such sincerity and the fear in her eyes was real that the ladies and girls around her all had red eyes and felt pity for her.
Public anger is high.
Someone pointed at Chu Jiuning and said hatefully.
"Drive her out of Dajue Temple and hand her over to the government. Make her pay for her murder."
The person who said this came from another place and didn't know Chu Jiuning.
As soon as he said this, many people agreed and surrounded Chu Jiuning. Chu Jiuning's eyes turned sharp and everyone felt a chill running through their bodies, and suddenly they became hesitant.
"Xiao Huai, it's Auntie's fault. I was too slow. I really wanted to rescue you."
An Yinyin's body was shaking, as if she was about to faint in the next moment.
A lady hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on An Yinyin. An Yinyin knelt down to express her gratitude, then hugged the child and knelt down repeatedly.
"Please save my nephew, he's still like that, he's so pitiful."
Not far away.
A woman in gorgeous blue clothes ran towards the side in a panic with her maid.
"Xiaohuai, Xiaohuai."
Behind the willow tree.
Someone let go of the child's hand, and the child immediately jumped out and ran towards his mother.
When the lady saw this, she immediately rushed over and held the child in her arms. The child in her arms was indeed still warm, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Where did you go? Why did you have to run away alone? You really scared me to death."
Someone told her that a child had fallen into the water and her sister-in-law An Yinyin was rescuing people in the water, and asked them to come quickly. She collapsed to the ground when she heard that, and now she is struggling to come over.
When the child saw his mother crying, he hurriedly put the toy in his arms and wiped her tears.
"Mother, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."
This voice is very familiar.
An Yinyin was subconsciously startled and turned her head to look over there, only to find that her sister-in-law and nephew were standing there intact...
