The Favored Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(224)

Yao Niang was so surprised that she subconsciously got off the kang and was about to walk out the door, but she stopped for some reason.

"My queen, what's wrong?" Hongchou asked.

Hongfei and the others beside her also looked at her with eyes.

Yao Niang turned around several times before sitting down on the kang again. She seemed a little anxious, and her fingers kept knocking on the kang table like the King of Jin.

Her parents came, and Zhu and her eldest brother must have come too. In fact, Yao Niang was more inclined to believe that her parents came this time, and it must be Zhu and her eldest brother who instigated it. My sister and brother-in-law couldn't tell the family about the matter, so it goes without saying that Li must have been the one who messed things up.

The one who came was not kind!

Yao Niang came to such a conclusion.

Since the one who came was not kind, she naturally couldn't just sit there and be captured. But what should she do? The King of Jin was not in the mansion at this time, and she was like a headless fly. No one knows Zhu's true face better than her. She is a blood-sucking leech. If she knew that she is now a concubine and has given birth to two sons for the prince, she will definitely ask her to beg the prince of Jin for money and official positions.

She will definitely not agree, and they will persuade her parents. Her father's biggest wish in this life is to pass the imperial examination and become an official. In the past, Yao Niang thought that Su Xiucai had great ambitions, but after following the prince of Jin, she found that it was just sitting in the sky. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you can't just become an official. If you want to be an official, you must at least be a fellow Jinshi. There are so many officials waiting for the reserve in the capital every year. If you don't have connections and money to manage, you can only be thrown into the poor countryside and suffer.

Now that her father knows there is a shortcut, he will naturally not give up. His father never speaks soft words, but only hard ones, and her mother is a tear bag. With such soft and hard words, she can't live like this.

She still had a way to go, to drive them all away ruthlessly, but if this matter was known to others, her reputation and the reputation of Xiaobao and Erbao would be ruined. After all, this is a world where filial piety comes first.

Yao Niang put the key points in her mind and thought about it again and again, and then she ordered Hongchou to find clothes for her.

Pick the oldest ones.

Hongfei and the others were still a little confused, but Hongchou's eyes flashed and she understood what Yao Niang meant. She went in and looked around, but really couldn't find the clothes Yao Niang wanted. She had no choice but to look in the maid's room, and finally found a set of clothes that met Yao Niang's requirements in Hongyan's box.

Yao Niang hurriedly put on the clothes, and took off all the gold and silver jewelry on her head and hands, leaving only a hairpin and a bracelet, and then went to the reception area.

In a hall at the side door of the Jin Palace, the Yao and Su families were sitting.

This place is where the palace usually receives idle guests, depending on their status. There are several such places in the Jin Palace. This place is above average, just in line with Yao Niang's status as an unfavored concubine.

However, the Su family can't see these. Let them see the palace is really magnificent and luxurious. Even such a house is only for officials to live in.

Zhu, who is shallow-eyed, can sigh repeatedly when she sees the rosewood tables and chairs in the hall, and even a vase on the table, and she wants to take it back home to hide it.

Only Yao Cheng and Hui Niang looked at each other and felt something unusual. You know, even in the Jinwang Mansion in Jinzhou, the furnishings there are not comparable to this time. Is it that something happened in the Jinwang Mansion or Yao Niang?

Hui Niang's heart is more inclined to the latter. She wants to see her sister and ask her about it immediately. She is even more angry with the Jinwang.

Her sister has suffered so much because of him. If he really treats her sister badly, she will fight him!

Su Xiucai has always paid attention to his own dignity. He can't stand his daughter-in-law like this. He coughs lightly again and again, but Zhu still doesn't show any emotion. Su Yucheng understood his father's thoughts best, and hurriedly pulled Zhu over to sit down.

"What are you doing!"

"Let me see what's wrong? My aunt is such a rich person. When Yao Niang comes later, I will tell her to give me all these things and I will take them home."

Su Yucheng was also very angry at his wife's shallow eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Give it to you, can you take it back?"

"Yes, then I will ask my aunt to give us silver..."

The rest of the words were covered up by Su Yucheng. He looked at the maid standing at the door, and then at Su Xiucai's dark old face, and Zhu was shut up.

Just then, Yao Niang came.

She was wearing a lotus-colored summer shirt, which was a little old and looked very dull. She had a hanging cloud bun on her head, and a gold hairpin that didn't look too bright on her head, and a jade bracelet on her white wrist.

There was a little girl who hadn't grown her hair yet, and the girl looked thin and small, and timid.

In such a scene, how can she be a favored concubine? She is obviously not as good as the concubine of Mr. He.

Zhu was feeling bad, and sure enough, Yao Niang cried with her handkerchief covering her face before she stood still.

Chapter 171

"Dad, mother, sister, brother-in-law..."

Yao Niang cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, and her delicate body trembled slightly like rain hitting a crabapple.

Liu'er next to her was a rough maid in Rongxi Courtyard, and was now captured to be used as a personal maid. When she saw Yao Niang crying like this, she was immediately shocked.

Others didn't know, but they knew how much the prince loved Concubine Su. It was said that there was a princess in the mansion, and there were two concubines, but they were no different from invisible people. Especially Concubine Su was kind to people and never lost her temper. Everyone in Rongxi Courtyard liked her.

Liu'er wanted to persuade her in a hurry, but was pushed away by someone.

The person who squeezed her away was Hui Niang. Hui Niang stepped forward and hugged Yao Niang: "Yao Yao, what's going on? What happened?"

"sister……"

Wu also came over, with tears streaming down her face, "Have you been wronged in any way here? If you are wronged, tell your parents..."

Yao Niang still cried.

"What happened to you girl? You are trying to make your sister die of panic!"

"Sister, mother..." Yao Niang wiped her tears and said with a strong smile: "I'm fine, I'm really fine. I just miss you."

"Where's Xiaobao?" Huiniang asked.

"Xiaobao, he..."

"What's wrong with my little baby? Where's the second baby? You can speak up. Is it the princess who can't give birth to a child who took away our little baby and the second baby?!"

It's not that Yao Niang didn't speak, she just didn't know what to say. She had thought about everything before coming, except how she would explain it to the two children.

But the way she hesitated to speak clearly made people unable to help but think too much. Wu was an ignorant woman. To her, the word "concubine or prince" was like a wordless heavenly book. She only knew that he was older than the county magistrate. As for how much older he was, she didn't know.

She also knew that her daughter was given as a concubine. What good could she get from being a concubine? On the street where her family lived, the owner of the grocery store took a concubine. Unfortunately, there was a female bug in the house. The concubine got up before dawn every morning to empty the toilet, and was busy all day and night, doing everything in the store. They were not allowed to sleep until they were done, and they were beaten every now and then and deprived of food.

Life was like a life soaked in bitter water.

When Ms. Wu thought about her daughter's current life, she felt regretful and regretful. She regretted that she should not have let her son marry Ms. Zhu in the first place. She regretted that she had no ability to control her daughter-in-law and had harmed her daughter like this.

If the Zhu family had not come in, Yaoyao would not have been driven to the Yao family. Naturally, without all the bad things that happened later, Yaoyao would not have suffered like this.

"Is this okay? My poor daughter, my miserable second girl, mother has no ability, mother can't protect you, mother..."

Wu held her daughter in her arms and burst into tears, her tears falling uncontrollably.

"Cry, why are you crying? Is it bad luck or not?!" Su Xiucai scolded, his goatee trembling with anger.

Normally, Wu would have been so frightened on the spot that she would not dare to say a word.

Seriously speaking, Mrs. Wu was afraid of Su Xiucai. She didn't know a single word, but the man was a scholar. The status of a scholar is lofty. Even though Su Xiucai was too corrupt and the Su family was impoverished, the Wu family was still full of respect for Su Xiucai. In this reverence, there is also the instinct of treating husband as God. In the Su family, Su Xiucai naturally has whatever he says.

Maybe it was because she had been simmering in her heart for a long time, maybe it was an explosion under repression, or maybe it was because the instinct to feel sorry for her daughter had overcome another instinct. In a rare move, Wu not only did not remain silent, but instead cried and said loudly: "Why can't I Cry, I’m crying. What’s wrong with my daughter? It’s not because you dislike Yaoyao all the time, why would my Yao’er end up in this situation? Being a concubine, not being able to raise a child by myself, being a slave, being beaten every day and not being given food..."

The question is, Aunt Wu, which one of your eyes saw Yao Niang being beaten every day and not being given anything to eat?

King Jin received the news when he returned to his residence and came over immediately. On the way, he became suspicious. Now seeing such a situation, he naturally did not show up and stood outside on the porch.

It's also a coincidence that the location is blocked by a pillar, so you can see the inside from the outside. If the location is wrong from the inside, you can't see here. The King of Jin looked inside openly with a pair of dark eyes, and saw the Yao Niang crying and falling in the arms of her mother and sister, like a tortured little daughter-in-law.

When we met again, she deliberately wore old clothes, but her skin was pink and greasy, white and rosy. She didn't look fleshy, but in fact her body was full of soft flesh.

It was soft, tender and smooth. He liked to rub it with his fingers. Every time he rubbed it, she couldn't bear it and she begged softly for mercy. It's also because she is squeamish, and even though she hasn't done anything, she just has a red mark. A crimson hibiscus flower contrasts with the jade-white background. No matter how you look at it, it attracts people...

Why are you being beaten every day and not being given food?

Little liar!

Wu's anger was rare for once. Su Xiucai was probably unprepared and became weak.
