Chapter 183: More Failure Than Success
After so many years, she thought she had gotten used to it, but today she realized that she was not used to it, but had hidden the longing deep in her heart.
As soon as I heard the news about my hometown, I could no longer suppress the longing.
Her confidante Jinse came to Beijing with her from southern Yunnan. When she saw those things, her eyes became a little moist.
"In the future, if His Highness takes that position, Your Majesty will be able to go back and take a look."
She shouldn't have said this, but she couldn't help it and wanted to give the Queen a thought.
There was a hint of light in Concubine Rou's eyes.
In the past, because of A Ci's fate, she never dared to have such an idea. But now think about it, even if they do nothing, they are already in the game. How can they avoid it?
Now that the war has begun, we must win.
As I was looking through the old things one by one, something fell to the ground. It was a bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror fell to the ground and cracks appeared instantly.
Concubine Rou's heart tightened and she quickly reached out to pick it up.
Looking at the clear cracks on it, her heart sank slightly.
This is not an ordinary mirror, it is a gift from an old friend.
Jinse's expression changed. "It's all my fault. I didn't put it away properly. I'll ask a craftsman to fix it."
"No need, it can't be fixed."
A broken mirror cannot be mended.
She should have thrown away this mirror as early as when she entered the palace.
She put the mirror down, no longer interested in looking through old things. "Throw it away."
This may be a hint from God that she should make a complete break with the past.
…
Lu Yingxi had been waiting for Jiang Jinnian, hoping to hear her bring back good news.
With Concubine Li escorting this matter, there will definitely be no problems.
However, what she waited for was a crying Jiang Jinnian and a slap in the face from her without any mercy.
Lu Yingxi was stunned.
"It's all your fault! You gave me such bad advice that it ruined me!"
Lu Yingxi's face was burning and her anger was rising, but she still endured it.
"What's going on? Explain yourself clearly!"
Didn’t it work out again?
"I followed your instigation and framed Lu Zhiran for stealing, but the truth was revealed. Lu Zhiran was unharmed, but I was kicked out in public! I've lost all face. How can I hold my head up in front of everyone in the future?"
She deliberately concealed the details, blurred her own fault, and put all the responsibility on Lu Yingxi.
When Lu Yingxi heard the result she least wanted to hear, her face turned very ugly.
"How can you be so careless? You can't even handle such a small matter!"
It's really more of a hindrance than a help!
Jiang Jinnian was furious. "You're blaming me? If you hadn't instigated me, would I have encountered this?"
Lu Yingxi sneered, "I just suggested it, but you agreed to it yourself. What does it have to do with me?"
It was obvious that she also wanted to see Lu Zhiran in trouble, so she agreed to this matter. If things didn't work out, it was because of her incompetence, what did it have to do with her?
Jiang Jinnian was so angry that he reached out and pushed Lu Yingxi hard.
"You bitch, you're the one who hurt me!"
Lu Yingxi staggered backwards, but fortunately Jinju reached out and supported her, so she did not fall.
But Lu Yingxi was still frightened. She covered her tight stomach and her face turned pale.
Everyone was in chaos and rushed to call a doctor.
Jiang Jinnian was also frightened.
The court physician and Mrs. Dong arrived at the same time. The court physician hurriedly took her pulse and fortunately the fetus was fine. She just needed to stop being overly happy or angry.
Mrs. Dong looked at Lu Yingxi with a reproachful expression, "Why are you always so careless? Don't forget that you have a double body."
Lu Yingxi pointed at Jiang Jinnian and said, "She pushed me!"
Jiang Jinnian stumbled, "I, I just gave it a slight push, you, don't even think about blaming me!"
It was only then that Mrs. Dong noticed Jiang Jinnian. "Jin'er, didn't you enter the palace to participate in the selection? How come you're back so soon?"
Jiang Jinnian's defenses instantly broke down, and she cried loudly, "Mother, I'm done. I've been kicked out of the palace... It's all Lu Yingxi's fault. She's the one who ruined me!"
Jiang Jinnian complained again tearfully.
Mrs. Dong was so angry that her heart ached. She glared at Lu Yingxi fiercely, "How dare you encourage her to do such a thing? You are so brave!"
Lu Yingxi said coldly, "This idea was proposed by Zhao Shuning. If you want to settle the score, go find her!"
"Who is Zhao Shuning to you? You colluded with her to harm Jin'er? It's a misfortune for our Jiang family to marry you!"
Lu Yingxi sneered, "Then divorce me. I'll beat the child, and I can still find a good family to marry in the future, and I won't have to endure the bullying of your Jiang family every day."
She grasped the opponent's vital point, and Dong was choked.
Jiang Jinnian spoke frankly, "Who knows if it's our Jiang family's seed."
Lu Yingxi was so angry that her chest heaved again. "Okay, if that's the case, there's no point for me to stay any longer. Jinju, go pack up your dowry. I'm going back to my parents' home now!"
A hint of panic flashed in Dong's eyes. She quickly stopped the man and spoke softly and humbled herself.
"Jin'er is young and naive. As the eldest sister-in-law, why are you arguing with her? Jin'er, why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law!"
Jiang Jinnian pointed at himself in disbelief, "You want me to apologize to her? Don't even think about it!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran away angrily.
Mrs. Dong tried to make amends for Jiang Jinnian, calmed Lu Yingxi down, and left in a hurry.
Lu Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of the person.
She touched her belly and realized that this bargaining chip was indeed useful.
She didn't know that Dong had other reasons for feeling guilty.
Lu Yingxi ordered people to go to the palace gate to inquire about the candidate results.
"That bitch is a second-time bride, there's no way she'll be chosen!"
She told herself this, but the final reality was not what she expected.
"The eldest lady has been chosen by the Emperor as the Princess of Jin, and the imperial decree has already been sent to the Lu family."
Lu Yingxi's face instantly became hideous and distorted. "Bitch, what right does she have? She's already divorced, how can she be worthy?"
Lu Yingxi was so angry that she smashed things in the house. Just after smashing a set of tea sets, she touched her stomach and started to cry. The maids hurried forward to support her.
"Miss, the doctor said you shouldn't get too excited or too angry. Please go to bed and lie down for a while."
Lu Yingxi cursed fiercely, "I just can't help it. Why is she always so lucky? Why is God so unfair!"
Everyone in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was equally upset and angry.
This news was like a slap in the face.
Originally, Jiang could still privately scold Lu Zhiran as an abandoned woman, and even if she wanted to remarry, she would definitely not be as good as her son.
Now, Lu Zhiran has got a fantastic marriage, and from now on, they will have to kowtow and bow to her whenever they see her!
Chu Yunqing felt very jealous. She thought she was better than Lu Zhiran, but it turned out that she was the main wife and she was just a concubine.
