Chapter 180 Was I hit on the head with a brick?

"No, people have to keep their promises." Jiujiu said seriously.

Jiujiu's cute face is full of innocence and looks so adorable.

In the past, when Nan Yuanxiang saw Jiujiu’s cute look, she couldn’t help but want to pinch Jiujiu’s face, but this time she didn’t do it. She was blaming herself.

"How could I doubt Jiujiu? Who is Jiujiu? She is a princess who can do anything. She is smart, wonderful and capable of doing anything."

"It seems like there's nothing she can't do. I'm where I am today because of her."

"Why should I doubt her?"

"Was I hit on the head with a brick?"

Nan Yuanxiang touched her head inquiringly.

"Little cousin, what are you mumbling about? Jiujiu can't hear you?" Jiujiu tilted her ear and said, "Can you speak louder?"

Nan Yuanxiang: “…”

"I said I would do my homework while standing on my head when I got home."

If you are not a lady, then don’t be a lady.

She is willing to accept defeat, can afford to lose, and won't cheat.

"That's more like it." Jiujiu smiled wickedly.

Concubine Jia looked at her like that and smiled dotingly.

Her little girl was naughty and cute, which added a lot of fun to the dull life in the palace and helped her change her difficult situation.

Without the little girl, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Concubine Jia is grateful for Jiujiu's arrival.

However, Tianci and Yuanxiang suffered.

However, it would be good for them to learn a lesson and not be so quick to speak in the future, to talk less and listen more, and to be careful with what they say and do.

Nan Mansion, Nan Yuanxiang's home.

Zou's essence was sucked away by the jade bracelet on her hand for a long time, and she became a changed person.

She was no longer as bright and charming as before. She looked much thinner and haggard, with hollow eyes. From time to time, she would yell like crazy or punch the wall.

Her dirty hands were covered with wounds and bloodstains, which looked terrible.

"Take this bracelet away from me, take it away."

"I feel so bad. I feel bad all over."

"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Master, I beg you, please save me? I feel like I'm going to die."

"Madam, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Can you help me beg for mercy from the master?"

Zou knelt in the room where she was confined, begging for mercy.

But no one paid any attention to her.

Nan Shuwen hasn't asked about Zou's affairs for a long time.

Obviously, he wanted Zou to die.

A person with a vicious heart like Zou cannot be kept.

In addition, he was demoted, and the reason for the demotion was also because of Zou. He hated Zou a little and wanted her to die soon.

But Zou's daughter, Nan Baolin, was different.

No matter what happens to Zou, she is still her mother, and she will not let anything happen to her mother.

Nan Baolin found Nan Shuwen. She knelt at his feet humbly, hugged his legs, and begged him, "Daddy, please let my mother go. She has been punished enough these days."

"What mother? Your mother is my legal wife, Li Xin'er."

"Zou, that's your mother."

In the past, Nan Shuwen favored his concubine over his wife, and the distinction between his wife and concubines was blurred, with no clear distinction between the high and low.

The wife doesn’t act like a wife, and the concubine doesn’t act like a concubine.

Now that Zou's crime against Li had come to light, Nan Shuwen was demoted again and his career was affected. He became afraid and began to separate his wife and concubines.

That's really ridiculous.

Nan Baolin burst into tears as he listened to the cruel facts told by Nan Shuwen.

Dad didn’t say that before.

Why did it change?

She wiped her tears in confusion and sniffed, "Then Dad, can you save my mother? I beg you, my daughter."

Nan Shuwen said nothing and focused on the letter in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Nan Baolin kowtowed hurriedly.

But it was no use even if she hit her head.

For the sake of his official position, Nan Shuwen remained unmoved.

Nan Baolin couldn't believe it.

How could the father who used to love her and her mother change overnight? How could he become so hard-hearted?

Nan Baolin cried for a long time in disappointment. After crying, she realized that it was useless to ask Nan Shuwen for help and it was a waste of effort. So she thought about going to the palace to ask Jiujiu for help.

However, as a concubine's daughter, how could she enter the palace without the help of her family?

She wandered in front of the palace gate for several days but did not go in.

Her mother's condition was getting worse.

If this continues, her mother will surely die.

Nan Baolin was panicked and sad.

What should she do?

At this moment, the carriage carrying Concubine Jia slowly came out of the palace.

Emperor Zhaoning saw that Concubine Jia was feeling homesick recently, so he allowed her to take Jiujiu, Nan Yuanxiang, and the Thirteenth Prince back to visit her parents' home.

He will catch up when he finishes his work.

At this moment, there was a lot of chatter in the carriage.

Jiujiu used a teacup to fiddle with a dice and asked the Thirteenth Prince and Nan Yuanxiang to guess the bigger or smaller number.

The three of them had a great time.

As an adult, Concubine Jia was naturally not interested in these things. She lifted the curtain beside the carriage and looked outside.

Outside, Nan Baolin was also looking at her carriage with a pale face.

When he saw that it was Concubine Jia's carriage and that the Thirteenth Prince and Nan Yuanxiang were in the carriage, Nan Baolin immediately confirmed that Jiujiu was also in the carriage.

She wanted to ask Jiujiu to release her mother.

Now she only has Jiujiu to help her.

She lifted her skirt and rushed forward regardless of anything, trying to catch up with Concubine Jia's carriage, but before she could get forward, she was stopped by the royal guards behind Concubine Jia's carriage.

"Who are you?"

"What do you want to do?"

The royal guard drew his knife to stop the man.

Two knives were placed on Nan Baolin's neck, one on the left and one on the right.

The blade was shining with a cold light.

The royal guard holding a knife was full of murderous intent.

Nan Baolin was so frightened that her breathing became rapid. She looked at the knife on her neck with fear and said carefully: "My lords, don't be impulsive. I am a government official's wife."

"Whatever you are, what do you want to do?"

"I want to see the little princess..."

"You? You want to see the little princess?" The imperial guard glanced at Nan Baolin and said disdainfully, "Do you think the princess can see anyone?"

Nan Baolin felt cold all over after hearing these words.

She couldn't even see the princess.

You can’t ask the princess for help if you can’t see her.

What should she do?

She looked unwillingly at the carriage that had already left her.

She could no longer see the people inside, she could only hear Nan Yuanxiang's loud laughter, which unexpectedly broke into her ears.

Nan Yuanxiang is smiling so happily!

She had never laughed like this before, nor did she dare to laugh like this, but now she dared?

Why?

Who is she?

How could she, an ugly girl, enter the palace to accompany the princess? And even go to the study room to take classes?

Why does she live better than her?

She was once not even worthy of carrying her shoes!

Now she has married the princess and enjoys all the glory. Even though she is so ugly, no one dares to say anything about her anymore.

Her life was getting better and better.

On the other hand, her life was getting worse and worse, and the brilliance that once belonged to her seemed to have been taken away by Nan Yuanxiang.

She was unwilling to accept it.

Nan Yuanxiang, I won't let you go.
