Chapter 160 Disfigured
Chu Yunqing felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and he remained stunned and speechless for a long time.
She didn't want to believe it, but when she thought about Xiao Yanqing's reaction at that time, the hope in her heart was extinguished bit by bit.
Zhao Shuning looked at her expression and knew that she had listened to his words, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not easy to enter the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and you can't just sit back and enjoy the splendor and prosperity. It doesn't matter if you're a little dull. As long as you behave yourself, don't show off and cause trouble, and have a child to support you, then in the future... your blessings are all waiting for you."
Chu Yunqing understood what Zhao Shuning had not yet expressed.
In the future, when Xiao Yanqing ascends to that position, her children will be princes and princesses, and maybe they will even have the chance to become the crown prince!
She put away her arrogance and returned to her usual obedient and compliant demeanor.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not as smart as you. I need you to give me more advice in the future."
Zhao Shuning looked at her calmly. "As long as you listen to my advice, I won't let it go. Remember, we are one. We prosper together and suffer together. I will never harm you no matter what I do."
Chu Yunqing immediately nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
After comforting Chu Yunqing, Zhao Shuning turned and left.
This idiot cannot be trusted completely. I have to arrange a few people to be around her and never let her do anything wrong in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, the Sixth Prince is probably still unwilling to give up on Lu Zhiran.
Although Lu Zhiran was a daughter who had been married for the second time, it was easy to include her in the list of candidates for concubines.
On the day of selecting the concubine, they will definitely take action to make this happen.
Once Lu Zhiran enters the Sixth Prince's Mansion, who will be the scapegoat for her when the epidemic breaks out in Xiping?
This must not happen!
She could still find ways to disrupt the situation in the Lu family, but when she got to the palace, she definitely couldn't get her hands involved.
How to stop this?
A faint light ignited in Zhao Shuning's eyes.
During this period, officials from the Ministry of Rites suddenly became very busy, and Xiao Yanqing was even more overwhelmed.
There was a big mistake in the Taimiao ancestral worship affairs that he was in charge of. He took great efforts to suppress the matter, but the aftermath also kept him very busy.
At this time, the matter of selecting a concubine for the prince was decided, and the time was just before the ancestral worship ceremony in the Taimiao.
Although the Imperial Household Department assisted, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were still spinning like spinning tops.
Families with girls of marriageable age also started to get involved, buying clothes and making jewelry.
Jinxiufang took advantage of the opportunity to launch several types of rouge, jewelry and fabrics. The selling point was that they could accurately hit the preferences of the nobles in the palace, which immediately attracted a crazy rush from the ladies.
Who doesn't want to be chosen and rise to prominence? If you can please the noble with your attire, you'll naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lu Shiyin also wanted to go to Jinxiufang for a stroll, but because of face, she didn't go.
On second thought, if she wanted to find out any information, she could just ask her third sister-in-law directly. Why should she rely on those unknown rumors from outside?
Lu Shiyin went to Xiao Wanzhen's yard immediately.
When she arrived, Xiao Wanzhen was just about to go out, with a cold face, as if she was still angry.
"What happened to Third Sister-in-law?"
Xiao Wanzhen glanced at her and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it."
He turned around and left.
Lu Shiyin was caught off guard and her face immediately turned sour.
She thought about it and followed him.
Judging from the situation, something must have happened.
She wanted to go and see what was going on.
Lu Zhiran and Xiao Baozhu were drinking tea and listening to music in the teahouse today, feeling very relaxed.
The box on the third floor has a wide view and can take in the entire alley below.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan gathered at the window, reporting the situation below in real time.
"Miss, the Fourth Princess is here! She had the door broken down!"
"She grabbed a woman and a child, pinned them to a bench, and tried to beat them to death!"
"Prince Consort Lu has come out, and he's fighting with the Fourth Princess!"
There was a lot of noise in the small courtyard, and Xiao Baozhu and Lu Zhiran, the master and servant, were enjoying the show very much.
In her previous life, Xiao Wanzhen had many concubines for Lu Ziyang, but she did not allow them to give birth to children. Unfortunately, she injured herself and became silent after giving birth to a daughter.
Lu Ziyang secretly arranged for a concubine outside. By the time Xiao Wanzhen found out, the concubine had already given birth to three sons for her.
Xiao Wanzhen was so angry that she wanted to beat the concubine and the three bastards to death, but was stopped by everyone in the Lu family.
The crime of being childless was enough to crush her noble head.
In the end, the concubine was executed, but the three sons were taken back by the Lu family and registered under Xiao Wanzhen's name.
In this life, Lu Zhiran told Xiao Wanzhen about this matter in advance. Lu Ziyang only had one precious son at this time, so he naturally didn't want Xiao Wanzhen to touch him.
"Why is Miss Lu here too? She and the Fourth Princess were fighting."
"Oh, she was pushed down by the Fourth Princess, and it seems her face was broken!"
The crying of the child, Lu Shiyin's screaming, Lu Ziyang's roaring, and Xiao Wanzhen's defense, the scene fell into another chaos.
Xiao Baozhu's expression was somewhat complicated. "Lu Shiyin's face is ruined. Doesn't that mean she has no chance to participate in the selection of the prince's consort? She has always wanted to marry the Sixth Prince and become his consort."
This was a devastating blow to Lu Shiyin.
Lu Zhiran smiled faintly, "Since she is so affectionate, why don't we fulfill her wish?"
Xiao Baozhu blinked. Her sister Ran was feeling depressed again.
…
Recently, the weather has become warmer and the spring is bright and beautiful.
The weather this year is unusual. During the Shangsi Festival, the weather had not yet warmed up. Although the Shangsi Festival has passed, everyone's enthusiasm for enjoying the spring scenery has increased. The banks of the moat are lined with young men and women dressed in extremely bright clothes.
But all this has nothing to do with Lu Shiyin. At this moment, she is experiencing the darkest moment of her life.
The Lu family invited all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and everyone shook their heads.
"Even if I use the best beauty cream, it will leave a mark on my face. It's impossible to recover before the prince chooses his concubine."
Lu Shiyin broke down and cried.
Xiao Wanzhen, the culprit of all this, was treated coldly in the Lu family for the first time.
Not only did she disfigure Lu Shiyin and make her miss the chance to be chosen as a concubine, she also almost beat Lu Ziyang's only son to death!
To Xiao Wanzhen, he was a lowly bastard, but to the two elders of the Lu family, he was their own grandson.
The child looked exactly like Lu Ziyang, so his identity was beyond doubt.
Xiao Wanzhen was punished by Mrs. Lu to be confined to her house, copying Buddhist scriptures and reflecting on her mistakes. The housekeeping power was also handed over to the first wife, Qian.
The concubine and the child were brought back to the Lu family and settled in the well-equipped Yijingju.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The two interesting things happening in the Lu family quickly spread outside, and countless people were laughing at Xiao Wanzhen's joke.
However, at this moment, another piece of news came out, which caused a shocking reversal of the whole situation.
