"She?" Madam Qi was slightly stunned and thought about it, "Her story seems to have been spread everywhere. During the 'epidemic' period in the mansion, the Consort Dowager happened to take Deping to the Royal Palace. Later, after the bad news of Side Princess Mo came to the Royal Palace, the Consort Dowager said that Deping was too sad to get up. She was afraid that Side Princess Mo's only child would be damaged, so she asked Deping to kowtow in the Royal Palace to the direction of Gaomi King Mansion. Later, the Consort Dowager gave Deping a small yard for mourning. Deping didn't participate in the funeral from beginning to end."
Sheng Weiqiao understood. The Consort Dowager was afraid that Princess Gaomi would kill Princess Deping when Deping returned to the mansion.
From this point of view, Consort Dowager Mo obviously cherished the grandchild of her niece.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao felt strange that the Consort Dowager should keep Pri
According to the results of Rong Shuihe's thorough investigation of Huang Wujiu, Huang Wujiu already had two maids preparing for being his concubines, both of whom were selected by himself in Shuzhong.Those two maids originally served his grandmother, and they were pretty and favored by his grandmother. Besides, talented though Huang Wujiu was, he didn't get married. So his grandmother specially sent those two maids to take care of his daily life and relieve his boredom two years ago.However, although Huang Wujiu accepted his grandmother's arrangement and occasionally went to those two maids' rooms for the night, he didn't mean to make them his concubines. He just regarded them as two maids easing his desire. But every time after he had spent the night with them, Huang Wujiu would order an old nanny to make Contraception Soup for them and force them to drink it.Madam Qi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly when hearing that and said to
After they met, they greeted each other. Madam Nan ordered all servants to leave, and Sheng Weiqiao also let Jinli leave.After all servants left, Madam Nan's first words stunned Sheng Weiqiao, "Today, Baomo came to find me sneakily just now and asked me to go to Mocai Yard together with him."After a pause, Madam Nan expressionlessly spat out four words, "To catch the traitor!"Sheng Weiqiao's face changed greatly, and she forced a smile, "Aunt, listen to me...."When Sheng Weiqiao said this, she was on the verge of crying. Why did she say that? If Gongsun Yingjiang was a normal girl, Sheng Weiqiao would suspect that someone framed Gongsun Yingjiang. But who was Gongsun Yingjiang? It was strange that her niece didn't have affairs with other men after she got married!Just when Sheng Weiqiao was embarrassed, Madam Nan had already sneered out loud, but this sneer was not directed at Sheng Weiqiao or Gongsun Yingj
Sheng Weiqiao was at a loss for words.She swallowed and asked chokingly, "Well, Aunt, what does that bodyguard look like?"Hearing that, Madam Nan frowned and answered unhappily, "Not bad. Why do you ask about that? Haven't you given up interceding for that b*st*rd? Weiqiao, I have to criticize you. Even though Yingjiang is not your first niece, she calls you aunt. Besides, you've been together for a long time. I see that she is quite obedient to you. You must mean a lot to her! Otherwise, I would not have called you here to help me!""But you...""But you are partial to that b*st*rd without forethought and even try to help him blame the matter onto Yingjiang! Have you ever thought about what if Yingjiang wakes up and knows what you said? How can she bear it?""Weiqiao, I call you here to comfort her, straighten her out, and cheer her up. You are not here for saving that b*st*rd or even helping him do evil deed
Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiqiao looked at each other in speechless despair for a while. Then, Gongsun Yingjiang sighed, "Anyway, I can't stand staying here. I can only sleep with Xu Baomo every day and have to meet a handsome bodyguard covertly. I can't bear such a life anymore! Therefore, aunt, don't think about saving my face. After all, I surname Gongsun, and my father is also in Chang'an now. Just bring the shame on the Gongsun Family!""I'll tell the truth to my mother-in-law later when she comes!""Could you speak to assist me on the side?"Sheng Weiqiao remained expressionless for a while and finally nodded painfully. She said, "Just have a try!"However, according to her experience in talking with Madam Nan, she thought that would not work.Having made that decision, Sheng Weiqiao remembered one thing. She asked suspiciously, "Well, I remember that the bodyguards in the mansion used to be Uncle Xu's
Obviously, Rong Shuihe came here for his wife Sheng Weiqiao. Unaware of what had happened, he just decided to stop by after learning from the servants upon his return that Sheng Weiqiao had gone to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion. He supposed he could escort Sheng Weiqiao back later.He was surprised to see Madam Nan, Sheng Lanci, and Gongsun Su gathering together, and very shortly he guessed the whole event.Madam Nan filled him in on what she thought had happened after Rong Shuihe greeted them, settled himself on one of the chairs, and received the tea from the servant. She burst out indignantly, "Shuihe, I need to hear your opinion! Weiqiao, your father-in-law and your foster brother are all too mean to Yingjiang, aren't they?"Madam Nan had addressed Rong Shuihe as Shuihe before he restored his original surname Rong. But she began to address him as His Highness after he rejoined the Gaomi King Family and was acknowledged as a prince, con
He left Gongsun Yingjiang no choice!Despite her ambition to sleep with myriad handsome guys, Gongsun Yingjiang knew to quit when her life was at stake. She compromised very soon as Rong Shuihe rested his cold eyes on her and whined, "Alright!"But Rong Shuihe wasn't satisfied, "What's that lifeless look? I promised Aunt Nan that I would console you and cheer you up. Won't she get suspicious if you keep that look when she stops by later?"Gongsun Yingjiang then put on a broad smile speechlessly, "How's this?""Unlike you, Aunt Nan is a sensitive lady!" Rong Shuihe said coldly, "She's praying now that you won't commit suicide by throwing yourself into the lake, or hanging yourself, or gulping down a gold bar. She'll think that you've gone crazy if you laugh cheerfully like this!"Gongsun Yingjiang was rendered mute.“Hence, it looked like I wasn't wrong when affecting to be lifeless!”"A
Unaware of what Rong Shuihe had undergone that night, Sheng Weiqiao enjoyed a rather good sleep. She didn't wake up until around noon the next day. Upon the realization of the time, she got up all in a fluster and summoned Jinli to help with the routine washing."Where is Mizhen?" She asked the maid as she washed in a hurry, "Have we heard any news from the Ningwei Marquis Family so far?"Jinli responded, "An envoy from the Ningwei Marquis Family called in this morning. Then His Highness left for the Ningwei Marquis Mansion alone, for he didn't want to disturb your sleep.""How long has it been since he departed?" Sheng Weiqiao was overcast. She feared that the Ningwei Marquis Family still made a big scene out of the drama yesterday with Gongsun Yingjiang failing to pacify Madam Nan.Whatever, it was several hours ago already when Rong Shuihe set off to intervene in the possible occurrence at the Ningwei Marquis Mansion, and
There was a deadly silence in the room. Sheng Weiqiao was startled, and Gongsun Yingjiang was fearful. Gongsun Yingjiang was guilty about Madam Nan, who had defended her so firmly. Meanwhile, she worried that the exposure of the truth behind her affair with Xu Baomo would escalate into a political issue, making an impact on the imperial court. In which case, Rong Shuihe wouldn't let her off the hook for sure.But Xu Baomo thought his savior finally appeared!He yelled in exultance, ignoring the awkward fact that his face was severely scarred by Gongsun Yingjiang who was on top of him now, "Mother, do you see it? This tigress is anything but meek, demure, and virtuous!"Gongsun Yingjiang dropped the duster and got up wordlessly. She stole a glance at Rong Shuihe and Sheng Weiqiao as she smoothed her clothing, only to see that Sheng Weiqiao was dumbfounded and that Rong Shuihe nonchalantly narrowed his eyes. Obviously, she could count on n
