Chapter 74 You Are My Sister
Chapter 74 They are sisters, so why be so polite?
Author: Apple Atang
Here, in Prince Ning's Mansion, it's the day to marry Concubine Yao.
Xia Yuwei had already shown her pregnancy at that time. She did not go to the front, but just took Guangchuan with her to talk to the princess.
The princess looked at her with a complicated mood. She said, "If you don't go to the front, aren't you afraid that Concubine Yao won't want to see you in the future?"
Xia Yuwei smiled: "Mom, you are thinking too much. She is just a concubine. Does it matter whether she treats me? I am your daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with her? Even if my father favors her, she doesn't
There is no reason for me to please her in the side room."
The princess sighed and said, "I thought wrong at first. I should have discussed it with you and Xinghe first. Now that it has happened like this, I really have no face at all."
Xia Yuwei said: "Mom, please relax. You now have two sons, Xinghe and Xinghai, under your knees. Even if your father marries a hundred concubines, you will not be embarrassed. Your identity as the legitimate wife is stable.
, now we just have to find a way to coax dad to change his mind. You don’t have to be too anxious."
The princess also sighed.
Gao Mingzhu was holding Zhao Yanting and crying bitterly, "If I hadn't sent someone home yesterday to greet the second sister, I wouldn't have even known about her death. I heard that my father had her body rolled up on a broken mat.
He was thrown into the barren mountains. How could he be so ruthless! I will never return to my parents' home again, and I will never recognize him again..."
Zhao Yanting coaxed her patiently: "If you don't want to go back, don't go back in the future. It's obvious that the second sister is desperate when she takes this road. Don't be too sad, always think about your mother-in-law. When I have time in the future, I will take you to Puji Temple
, perform a ritual ceremony for the second sister, and let her be reborn into a good family in the next life."
Only then did Gao Mingzhu stop crying. She pushed Zhao Yanting and said, "Today is a happy day. Go and help. I'm fine here, I'm just too sad."
Zhao Yanting said, "Then I'll go over. You'll wait for me to come back tonight." After saying that, he hurried out.
The front hall of Prince Ning's Mansion was packed with people. Zhao Xinghe stood aside and looked at it with a smile.
Zhao Yanting walked over and called "Brother." When Zhao Xinghe saw it was him, he said, "I thought you went to the front to help."
Zhao Yanting didn't know what he meant, so he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. He only replied: "Mingzhu, her second sister, had an accident. I have been by her side to comfort her, but I came out late."
Zhao Xinghe nodded and said: "Dad went to pick up the bride. I'm afraid he will be back soon."
Zhao Yanting thought for a while and said, "Not many people marry a concubine and go to pick her up in person."
Zhao Xinghe said: "Dad is too indulgent of this Concubine Yao, and I'm afraid there will be trouble in the family."
Zhao Yanting could only say: "After all, my mother is my legitimate wife, so it's better not to go too far."
Zhao Xinghe glanced at Zhao Yanting and said, "I want to go see my mother. You can help me here." After that, he left.
For a moment, Zhao Yanting didn't know whether it was better to stay here or leave. He just felt on pins and needles.
Fortunately, after a while, the prince had come back to pick up the bride. Li Liang was having a banquet, but no one paid special attention to Zhao Yanting.
Zhao Yanting thought for a while and returned to his yard.
He said to Gao Mingzhu: "My family is too complicated now. I even want to move out. But the child is still young and I have no foundation in the capital yet. I can only rely on my family. I will make you feel wronged."
Gao Mingzhu said: "Don't think like that. You are a concubine and I am a concubine's daughter-in-law. No matter how chaotic the family is, it won't be our fault. They can do whatever they want. We can just live our own lives. Why do we care so much?"
"
Zhao Yanting also smiled: "Yes, this is the matter between the eldest brother and sister-in-law. One side is the mother, and the other side is the father. It is difficult for them. You are right, it has nothing to do with us." As he said this, he felt relieved. While teasing
He looked at Dong'er and talked to Gao Mingzhu, but he didn't go out to help again.
The prince welcomed Concubine Yao into the house, and there was a big banquet over there. The whole palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it extremely lively.
After the guests had all had enough to drink and eat, and everyone had left, Li Liang led everyone to clear away the dishes and put them in order. It was already time to light the lamps.
He was so tired that his back ached and he returned to Zimo's yard all the way.
Zi Mo had just put the child to sleep when she saw Li Liang coming back. She hurriedly greeted him, "How are you? Are you tired?"
Li Liang suddenly fell on the bed and said, "What? I'm tired, but you're quite happy?"
Zi Mo chuckled and said, "You, just for the sake of breathing, you came up with such an idea for the prince. Tell me, why are you going through such trouble?"
Li Liang also smiled: "Who dares to show her face to me just because she is a princess? I want to see her face now."
Zi Mo smiled and said: "Don't go too far, you always have to look after the eldest mistress."
Li Liang smiled and said: "I know, don't worry. Leave some room for everything, and things will get better in the future. I'm not stupid."
Zi Mo came over and said, "Sister complained to me today that there is no money in the family account."
Li Liangqi said: "I just gave her a thousand taels last month, why is it gone now?"
Zi Mo hesitated for a moment and said: "I just heard about this, I don't know if it is true..."
Li Liang asked: "What's wrong?"
Zi Mo said quietly: "Something seems to have happened to the eldest sister's family. Her father seems to have been sued and now needs money to settle the matter, so..."
Li Liang said: "Why didn't she tell me this directly?"
Zi Mo still whispered in his ear: "You have been so busy recently, maybe the eldest sister didn't have time to say it. And..."
Li Liang said: "Why, is there any hidden secret?"
Zi Mo said: "This is what I heard too..."
Li Liang said: "You can just say it directly."
Zi Mo said: "I heard that her father took advantage of your influence and raped a married woman. The woman was so violent that she was hanged with a rope. There was a quarrel at her husband's house, and he even
She went to the government and filed a complaint. Her father was arrested by the government. Sister, it seems that I used your name to scare the family, saying that they would pay the money and it would be over. The family didn't get much money, but they got some money.
The jailer, who was in charge of the government and the patriarch of that family, said that a lot of money was spent..."
Li Liang's anger welled up: "This woman, does she know what she is doing! She is bringing trouble to me. If anyone knows about this, I'm afraid they will immediately take advantage of me. This idiot, I
..." He stood up and was about to go find his wife to settle accounts.
Zi Mo said: "This matter has been done. It's useless for you to lose your temper. It's only reasonable to find a way to make up for it. Besides, it's getting late now, and everyone will know if you go to make trouble. Why bother?"
It’s better to think of a solution tomorrow.”
Li Liang lay down angrily. He tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, he returned to the palace early in the morning and inquired about it, saying that the prince had not gotten up yet.
Li Liang had to wait.
The prince and Concubine Yao did not get up until almost noon.
Concubine Yao should pay tribute to the princess today.
The princess also got up early in the morning, but at noon, Concubine Yao arrived late.
The princess saw Concubine Yao coming in and looked at her carefully. She saw that she was not tall, but she was slim and graceful. Her skin was white and black, and her eyes were like autumn water. Every move she made had a certain charm.
Seeing the princess looking at her, Concubine Yao smiled slightly and said, "Sister, you are polite." She bowed and did not pay homage. Liu Aina, who was holding a mat next to her, could only stand there for a moment.
The princess said unhappily: "You are still a lady from a famous family, why don't you understand any etiquette?"
