Chapter 397: The Concubine's Sister Travels Through Time VS The Legitimate Sister Reborn (3)
After visiting her elder sister, Shi Yi went to her mother to pay her respects. When they were chatting, they talked about Ge Mingyi's drowning.
The mistress of the Ge family, Liu Yanqing, was the legitimate daughter of the noble Liu Guogong Mansion in Kyoto. She had lived a smooth life without suffering. Although she looked down on the concubine's daughter in the mansion, she did not lack the food, clothing and daily necessities that she should have. Therefore, this matter must have nothing to do with her.
Although this matter had nothing to do with her, the mistress, she could never stand up for the concubine's daughter. She was already unhappy when she was chatting with her elder daughter.
"Mother, I know you don't care about these things, but you should think about me and my sister Yuyi. If my elder sister can fall into the water in the mansion, who can guarantee that my sister Yuyi and I will not?" Shi Yi begged, shaking the sleeves of her clothes.
Liu Yanqing looked at her eldest daughter curiously, and said helplessly: "Then I will send someone to investigate privately."
The eldest daughter is the child that she and her husband have been looking forward to, so naturally she has to take care of her more. Moreover, the eldest daughter is gentle and filial, and has a similar personality to her husband, which is quite appreciated by the couple. Therefore, almost all requests of the eldest daughter are granted.
It is possible for the eldest daughter Shi Yi to investigate the fall of the concubine Ming Yi, but she can investigate it privately. Why does she have to do it herself? Is this matter related to Yu Yi's child?
"Thank you for your concern, mother." Shi Yi approached her mother obediently, knelt beside her, and continued to watch her pruning branches.
Shi Yi was stopped by Ge Yu Yi as soon as she came out of the corridor from her mother.
"Why did you agree to take Ge Ming Yi to the eldest princess's poetry meeting?" She stared at her elder sister, wishing she could slap her in the face to calm down.
In her previous life, the concubine's daughter Ge Mingyi was a bug in her hand. If she went east, she would never dare to go west. But because of the intervention of her elder sister, this yes-man seems to be out of her control now. This is definitely not a good thing. She will never let a concubine's daughter ride on her head.
"We are both sisters of the Ge family. What's the matter with going out together?" Shi Yi looked back at her elder sister, as if this was a trivial matter.
"I'm not here to debate with you about sisterhood. I'll tell you directly that Ge Mingyi can't go." Ge Yuyi took a step forward, wanting to destroy the prestige of her elder sister with a fierce look.
In this mansion, everyone knows that as a legitimate daughter, the second lady is more favored by the lady and master than the third lady. She, the third lady, is a legitimate daughter and is glorious, but in fact, she can't live much better than Ge Mingyi, a concubine's daughter. She is jealous of her elder sister, but the other party has her father and mother to protect her carefully, what about herself? Everything was taken care of by the maids and old women, and no one really cared about her needs. Now, Ge Mingyi, the concubine's daughter, dared not listen to her. If she continued to encourage the concubine's prestige, where would her face be?
Shi Yi did not comment and walked past her and left.
"Stop! You are not allowed to leave!" Being despised by her elder sister, Ge Yuyi was very angry.
"Sister, you should take care of yourself first. Mother is already investigating the matter of elder sister falling into the water." Shi Yi walked forward step by step without looking back.
You can't reason with some people. The most important thing is that these people often have contradictory self-conceit and inferiority. They hate the weak, envy the strong, and bully the weaker ones.
"Did you go to complain to mother?!" Ge Yuyi screamed hysterically.
She thought that this matter was done secretly and no one should know. In the mansion, except for her mother, who has the highest status, she, the elder sister, is the most popular among the servants. It must be those talkative servants who secretly told the elder sister what she did. Her elder sister didn't want her to be well, and she went to her mother to expose her!
No! No! She couldn't let her elder sister slander her like this. She had to go to her mother now to make it clear. As long as she refused to admit it, it would be useless even if there were servants as witnesses.
After wasting some time in the winding corridor, it was already dark when she returned to her courtyard.
She used the excuse that she was not feeling well and needed to rest, and went back to her room early to lie down, and asked her maid Lu Ya to guard the door for her. It was completely dark, and she changed into the nightgown that she had prepared long ago and went to the mansion of the eldest prince Qi Yanlai.
According to the original owner's memory, the eldest prince should have been stabbed at this time, but the eldest prince felt that his injury was not serious, so he simply bandaged it and did not make it public. In fact, the sword that stabbed the eldest prince was smeared with poison, and he would die quietly in the middle of the night. In
this life, the original owner's wish was simple, she just wanted to marry a good man and live a long life together. If the original trajectory is followed - the eldest prince dies accidentally, the second prince and the third prince fight for the throne, one dies and the other is injured, then the fourth prince will succeed to the throne, and she will most likely be selected and be detained in the harem to live out her miserable life. This is what she doesn't want to see. So, now she has to find a way out from the eldest prince.
"Who are you?" The eldest prince Qi Yanlai was not afraid of the woman who came out from under his bed, but was a little interested.
His mechanism is clever, and only three people in the world know about it. How did she know it?
"Aren't you afraid that I'm an assassin?" Shi Yi saw that his appearance and posture were elegant, so he took the lead in letting go of his tension and began to tease him.
"If you are really an assassin, you wouldn't make such a loud noise." Qi Yanlai covered his fist and coughed twice.
During the day, he met two assassins in the courtyard, and he fought desperately to win a glimmer of hope for himself. One of the assassins was also stabbed in the heart by the guards in the mansion who rushed over, and he should not survive. Not wanting his father to worry about these things, he did not make it public but quietly suppressed the matter. But after he made a simple bandage, he always felt that his heart was suffocated and he couldn't breathe from time to time. Shi
Yi was a little embarrassed. The reason why she knew about this mechanism in the eldest prince's mansion was because of the original owner's memory.
The fourth prince in the previous life, who later became the emperor, although he did not love his wife, loved to talk to her, or in other words, he regarded her as a confidant. After the fourth prince ascended the throne, he gave the eldest prince's mansion to his important minister Qin Wenyuan. Qin Wenyuan was good at the art of Qimen Dunjia, so he calculated the secret of this tunnel and told him. He then talked about this matter with the original owner as a joke, "If you knew that there was this secret passage in the eldest prince's mansion that day, you wouldn't have to risk your life to assassinate him. It would be better to suffocate him to death while he was sleeping through the secret passage.
" "Tell me, what is the reason for coming here late at night?" Qi Yanlai felt that he seemed to have extraordinary patience with this girl.
He thought, it must be because he was too lonely today.
