The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 264

Xiao Zhanbing was less than fifteen years old, but she knew that her fiancé had suddenly become her brother-in-law. She knelt in front of her parents, wanting an explanation, but the head of the Xiao family was so angry at the scandal fabricated by her eldest daughter that she was speechless.

The marriage of children has always been arranged by their parents and matchmakers.

The old lady of the Xiao family just hugged her little daughter and comforted her again and again, "I will find the most noble husband in the world for Bing'er one day. This young man from the Pei family will never be destined to be with you."

Who is the most noble husband in the world?

There was no reason for the Xiao family to send their daughter to be a concubine, but he was indeed a rare and great man in the world, the most noble person in the world.

The late emperor went on a secret visit and stayed at the Xiao family in Jiangzhou.

He came in a grand manner and when he left, he took away the most beautiful girl in the Xiao family.

Once you enter the inner palace, it is as deep as the sea.

The Xiao family did not become famous because of this daughter who was not admitted into the palace. It was all just a whim of the late emperor. She was young, and even if she entered the harem, she would be no match for the empress and the imperial concubine.

Be humble and small, and hide in the dust.

She was not of high rank and could not summon her parents and family members into the palace. She was able to see her elder sister at a few rare palace banquets, but unfortunately the sisters had become estranged because of their marriage many years ago.

Xiao Muxue looked at the lonely Xiao Zhanbing and instead of feeling guilty, she added insult to injury.

However, Xiao Zhanbing had to walk on thin ice in the palace and survived until he was in his thirties.

Others are getting old and ugly, but she is still radiant.

He had no fighting spirit and lived in peace in a corner, but he made himself elegant and transparent. The fifth prince back then, now the emperor, went to the harem to pay his respects to his mother. At first sight, he was attracted to Empress Xiao, who was ten years older than him.

Xiao Zhanbing is very innocent.

No one knew who she loved in her life, but she died the night before the emperor ascended the throne, and everyone knew it was a conspiracy.

The Xiao family thus took refuge in Jiangzhou and cut off their business in the capital.

The title of Imperial Concubine Xiao was not bestowed by the late emperor himself, but by the current emperor, who, as the Son of Heaven, posthumously bestowed the title on his father's concubine.

The strange thing is that after Xiao Zhanbing passed away, all the suspicions were swallowed up.

Few people know about it now, but Xiao Shi has not let it go for so many years. After everyone left, she still pounded the bed and cursed the heavens and the earth, "It was so dangerous when I gave birth to Yun, where is he? He came back on horseback just to see his old lover in the palace. No wonder the emperor has taken away his military power and destroyed his prestige!"

The old maid was not a considerate person. She asked the maid to bring a towel, no matter whether it was dirty or not, and rolled it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

The maids who had served before dared not speak under the pressure from the old maids.

He stood outside the screen with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes dropped.

He let Xiao sob and scream, struggle and come and go, and did not dare to go in and say a word.

If I still had some hope of regaining my freedom before, but now that the master and the two uncles have left in anger, it would be extremely difficult to go out of the Buddhist temple.

The maids are still young, so why are they locked up in this courtyard like this?

Thinking of this, they hugged each other and cried silently. Normally, the maids who came in and out were the two old maids' job. Could it be possible that these maids, who were as beautiful as flowers, would wither away in this Buddhist temple?

Different from the bitter wind and rain here, the areas near the mansion are either bustling and lively or peaceful.

Mrs. Min and Mrs. Liu were doing needlework with a few girls, but they heard the maidservant of the eldest daughter-in-law come back and whispered a report. Mrs. Min couldn't help but put down the embroidery frame in her hand, her face was gloomy, she was angry at first, and then helpless. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu drove the girls outside to enjoy the cool air and eat fruits, and then asked in a low voice, "Madam, what happened?"

"Ugh!"

He sighed and hesitated to speak.

After a moment, he took Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "It's because Xiu'er doesn't know how to do things."

"How?"

"Today, Silang's family happily invited his brother and sister-in-law to a banquet, but she refused to go. She even said dirty words to the prince in the courtyard. Just now, Qiong said that the Dragon Boat Festival gift given by the palace the day before yesterday was specifically given to Silang's family, but she kept it by her side."

"Why?"

Mrs. Min was furious. "She is thinking too much now. She won't listen to scolding. Please come with me and sit in her room."

Mrs. Liu didn't want to go.

But since Mrs. Min was talking, she couldn't refuse. Looking at the girls doing needlework with the maids in the courtyard, she could only sigh, "Okay, Madam, I just want to tell you something. If what I say is inappropriate, just think of me as young and don't take it to heart."

The two sisters-in-law walked out together. Mrs. Min said softly, "You are a person who always says things that make sense. I have never held you accountable. Just tell me what you have to say."

Madam Liu asked the maids to move forward and backward. She supported Madam Min and whispered, "Madam, Xiu'er is now focusing on the mansion. She is busy with all the social activities inside and outside. Before coming to Beijing, she was thinking about the maids in the house. It would be a good thing if she could get help from Xiu'er, the elder sister. But now-"

She hesitated.

After all, it is not logical to criticize a daughter in front of her mother.

Fortunately, Mrs. Min was sensible and asked her, "Do you also think Xiu'er is short-sighted? If she really interferes in the marriages of several girls, it might cause trouble?"

Mrs. Liu quickly denied, "That's not the case. Xiu'er loves her sisters, and I, as their aunt, know that. But she doesn't have enough energy now, and the people in the capital are unfathomable. I secretly thought that you and I, Madam, only have two or three girls, and we have always raised them in our hands. If not... don't marry so far away. It's rare for you to see your daughter once."

After listening to this, Mrs. Min turned her head and looked at her young third sister-in-law, "Yinhui, are you reluctant to let go too?"

After all, it didn't fall out of her stomach.

Mrs. Liu sighed, her face filled with disappointment. "Madam, although it is difficult to be a stepmother, I treat Hui girl no worse than my own children. This girl is pretty, but she is a bunch of fools in her head. If she is really sent to the capital, where there are so many talented people, madam, I am worried about how she will live out her life!"

The two sisters-in-law talked as they walked, and Mrs. Liu spoke frankly.

After listening to this, Mrs. Min considered it for a while before telling Mrs. Liu the whole story.

"Xiu'er has a short vision. As parents, we should worry more about the marriages of our sisters."

Mrs. Liu felt relieved after hearing this. "Jiangzhou is a place of outstanding people and has many promising young men. If you can take a closer look at them, we won't have to worry about finding the girls."

The summer night was warm and mosquitoes flew around the lanterns.

As soon as he arrived outside Xiao Yinxiu's door, he met Pei Hai and several unusual guards. Pei Hai bowed to the two aunts and led them into the prince's courtyard. Xiao Yinxiu also stood up and first welcomed his mother and aunt in, and then asked Pei Hai to call in the three guards.

"I am here on the orders of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace to deliver some small gifts to the Fourth Young Master's wife of your family."

Xiao Yinxiu: ...How could she be so honored and favored?
