Chapter 171: Damn Mother, Crazy Daughter
"How could this little ancestor say such a thing?" Rong Fu said a little annoyed and helplessly. She couldn't understand the granddaughter's thoughts. In her perception, this was a good marriage. Why did she get to Rong Jingji like she was forced?
Rong Jinshi didn't say anything, and couldn't help but despise her mother-in-law. No wonder she started her own concubine. Her knowledge was so shallow that it was despicable. Which good girl from the family was willing to send her to the shameful place in the palace? Fortunately, the queen did not choose her two daughters, otherwise she would be the one who should be uncomfortable. At this time, she had to be glad that her two daughters escaped.
Rong Li and Rong Jiang looked at each other. They didn't have much envy of this marriage. They were even glad that they had made a marriage for their daughter early. If they really got married into the palace, they might not be able to see their daughter all year round, and they had no idea whether she was doing well. They couldn't even support her, which was even more worrying.
Rong Jingqiu couldn't stand Rong Fu's misunderstandings, so she turned to Rong Jin and said anxiously, "Mom, I'll go see Sister Six." She was afraid that Rong Jingji would be unable to think about it and do stupid things.
"Go." Rong Jinshi reminded her, "Let me explain her a few words."
Rong Jingqiu saw that Rong Fu was going to talk again, but she was not in the mood to listen to her fallacies at this time. She hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and went to chase Rong Jingji. Rong Jingsi was also following behind, "Three Sisters, let me go with you."
Rong Jingxia just looked at it and didn't move the place. She didn't care about these little things. She even thought that Rong Jingji's reaction was ridiculous. Whose marriage really suited her heart? Whether it was a quarrel or not, wouldn't she have to marry her in the end?
She said directly to her biological mother Rong Jiangshi, "Mom, then I won't go back."
Rong Jiang nodded and watched her take the people away, then he felt relieved.
Rong Li glanced at Rong Jingxia's figure. This girl was so cold and everyone felt sorry for Rong Jingji. Just like she was a ok, this girl would not be able to count on in the future. I don't know if my third sister-in-law would regret raising her daughter to this virtue in the future.
Rong Jingping and Rong Jing'an were taken away by their respective wet nurses, and there were only a few Rong Fu and others left in the room.
Rong Fu took the opportunity to say, "Ji Tou is going to marry into the Eastern Palace, so the dowry cannot be vague. Everything is compared with the practice of Chun Tou in the past. What do you think?" She stared at Rong Jinshi with turbid eyes and refused to detain Rong Jinshi's dowry for the dowry of the concubine's daughter.
Rong Jiang thought that there was too much. When Rong Jingchun was married, the dowry given to the mansion was the only one among all married aunts. After all, she was the main concubine of the Eastern Palace and could not lose her dignity. However, Rong Jingji was different. She wanted to be a concubine. To put it bluntly, she was just a concubine. How could she give the same dowry? But she didn't dare to say these thoughts.
Rong Li was very straightforward and immediately opposed, "Mom-in-law, this is not right. How long has Chun Yatou been there? We just did this. How does this make people outside view our family? We must say that we are cold and disregard Chun Yatou's face?"
Rong Fu's face was a little uneasy, but she was quite fond of this young daughter-in-law, so she did not shout, but instead forced Rong Jin, "Once from the second family, you are from the Marquis's Mansion, what do you say?"
Rong Jin had a solution in his mind, so he said, "Mother-in-law, what the third brother and sister said makes sense. Our Marquis's mansion must not be without rules when doing things." Even though Rong Fu's face was too long, she still insisted on her own opinion. "It is not necessarily the same as that of Chun Meitu, but it can be comparable to the number of marriages of the legitimate daughter in the mansion."
She could tell that Rong Jingji was so arrogant that she was determined not to follow her aunt's old path, but luck made people feel bad. When she thought of her once informed her, she agreed to break the custom of marrying legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate gangs in the mansion and give Rong Jingji more dowry. This is the confidence of a woman. She would have more money to spend in the palace in the future. After all, people in that place had to handle some everywhere, and it would not be enough to have less money.
Rong Fu was dissatisfied, but when Rong Jinshi made this proposal, even Rong Li did not object anymore. He knew that they were one-sided, and there were many dowrys that could match the legitimate daughter. "Then you put the dowry list out and take it for me to take a look."
Rong Jin nodded and replied "Yes", it was just a look. She would not give Rong Fu the opportunity to get involved in the dowry given to Rong Jingji. Who knows if she would secretly change to help her parents' home? Now in her eyes, the Fu family is a group of shameless and dilapidated houses.
Rong Jiang still felt that there were too many dowry compared to his legitimate daughter, but even Rong Li didn't object to him, so why would she, a concubine's wife, object? She was just unhappy and went back to the third room in disappointment.
Rong Jingji, who ran away, didn't know that her dowry had been discussed. She just felt that the world had collapsed. Why was it so difficult for her to live decently?
But on the way, I met Aunt Fu who rushed over with the content of the imperial edict. I saw Aunt Fu holding her daughter with a smile and said happily, "I haven't congratulated the girl yet? I'm so happy, for my mother..."
"Where does the joy come from?" Rong Jingji looked at Aunt Fu coldly, holding her neck to resist the sadness in her heart.
"Ji Yatou, what are you saying? Do you know what it means to marry into the Eastern Palace? In the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and you will be the princess of the palace. If the child you gave birth to is of great luck, my girl, your life will be in the future." Aunt Fu became more and more excited as she thought about it. She had already thought about the scenery of her grandson ascended to the treasure in the future.
Rong Jingji looked at the words that were said in her mother, and her blood immediately surged, and she spitted on Aunt Fu's face with a mouthful of phlegm.
Aunt Fu didn't want her daughter to treat her like this, and she was not prepared for any reason. The phlegm spit on her face. She hurriedly covered her with a veil and screamed, "Ah--" and then pointed her other hand at Rong Jingji, with anger and ferocious face, "You---"
"I feel ashamed of my aunt. If you had married and become a big wife, would I still be like this today?" Rong Jingji shouted out all the grievances that had been in his heart for so many years. "You don't know shame yourself, and you want to raise me into such a shameless person?"
When did Aunt Fu get angry with her daughter? She immediately said annoyed, "Where did you come from without me? I know that you have hated me for so many years to let you take the status of being a illegitimate child, but what do you hate me? What should you hate is her Jin. She used to snatch love from the past, otherwise I would be your father's legitimate wife's original wife, and you wouldn't be laughed at as a illegitimate child..."
All fallacies are fallacies.
Rong Jingji looked at Aunt Fu's shameless face in desolately, and suddenly interrupted her with a sneer, "You are still deceiving yourself. Auntie, do you treat me as a fool? Even if you don't have the existence of your legitimate mother, there will be other women who will marry in to be your wife. Anyway, my father will not marry you as a wife. Don't you know what family background of the Fu family?"
Aunt Fu's face turned red in an instant. She had been talking about these words for many years, but her daughter never refuted her. Now she is sharp-tongued and exposing her words to comfort herself for so many years. She was so angry that she said: "Do you think you want to be the prince's concubine, so you won't take my mother seriously? Rong Jingji, I tell you, when you go to the horizon, I will still be your mother. Don't think of not refusing your mother, otherwise God will drop a thunder to death, so that you will die without a place to bury your children and grandchildren, and everyone will despise you wherever you go..."
Rong Jingji was so angry that she was trembling all over. Is this her biological mother? She had never loved her with such vicious words, right? Otherwise, how could she say such words?
Rong Jingqiu, who was catching up with him, happened to hear Aunt Fu's vicious words that disregarded his face and decent. When he looked at Rong Jingji, his eyes were red with anger, and he was immediately blocked. She went forward and hugged Rong Jingji, who was trembling, and then looked at Aunt Fu, "What are you talking about?" The person, Aunt Fu was crazy and blocked her mouth and sent it back to Ning'an Hall, so that the old lady could send her hair down."
She didn't give Aunt Fu a chance to curse, and directly asked someone to force Aunt Fu away, so as not to irritate her randomly to stimulate Rong Jingji's fragile nerves.
She patted Rong Jingji's back to soothe her emotions, "Six sister, calm down, just pretend that those words are barking by a mad dog and don't listen to them."
"Sister Three, you just heard it. Is she talking about human words? I'll give her this body of flesh and blood so that she can curse me there every day? Anyway, it's meaningless to live."
Rong Jingji was completely disappointed and felt that life had no direction, so he wanted to break free from Rong Jingqiu's arms and wanted to hit the pillar and die, so that it would be clean.
Rong Jingqiu was startled and hugged her tightly, "Sister Six, don't do stupid things impulsively, it's not worth it to seek death for this..."
"Sister Three, don't stop me, I will never be angry with her anymore, I won't go to the East Palace, just... let me die..."
Rong Jingji's desire to die became stronger and stronger, and she was also very strong. Rong Jingqiu could only hold her tightly, then winked at Mei'er who was carrying her, asking her to go back and find the red dress or the green sleeves as soon as possible.
Mei'er had been scared by the sixth girl's pursuit of death, but when her own girl winked her, she instinctively reacted and ran towards the backyard.
Rong Jingsi also arrived at this time, but she had never seen Rong Jingji who was crazy about seeking death. She was so scared that she was so weak that she had not been supported by the maid beside her, she would have been slumped on the ground.
Looking back on the idea of seeking death when she came back from elopement and was frightened by her mother's words, she also had the idea of seeking death, but she was so cowardly that she didn't dare to die. Now she realized that compared with Rong Jingji, she was not in a state of despair, and she still had faith to live.
"Fifth sister, don't stand there stupidly. Come and help me..." Rong Jingqiu was almost unable to hold back Rong Jingji, and she didn't know where she was experiencing the strength?
"Oh... OK, I'll come now." Rong Jingsi came to her senses, hurriedly shook the maid who supported her, rushed forward and hugged Rong Jingji's waist tightly, "Sixth sister, don't be impulsive, if a person dies, there will be nothing left. As the saying goes, "It's better to live a life than to die, don't be stupid... You see, I was also stupid, but I'm still alive... I just went to the Eastern Palace to be a concubine, and I really couldn't find death... Good sister, just listen to my sister's advice..."
She said whatever she thought of, but for a moment she said a lot of things in a mess, without a central point, and I wonder if Rong Jingji listened to it?
However, seeing Rong Jingji's crazy pursuit of death, he obviously couldn't listen to anything. In the end, Rong Jingqiu simply did everything and gritted his teeth and slashed Rong Jingji's back neck with a knife.
Rong Jingji fainted and fell down softly. She hurriedly hugged her arms, but Rong Jingsi sat on the ground with her butt.
Seeing Rong Jingji's head hanging weakly, she breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she would not be able to stop her.
"Sister Three, what should I do now?"
"Send her back first."
When Rong Jingqiu saw Hongshang and Lu Xiu arrived, she quickly called them over and asked the strong Lu Xiu to carry Rong Jingji who had fainted, and then directed them to send him back quickly. She repeatedly reminded them to watch it carefully and not to let Rong Jingji have any accidents.
Hongshang and Green Sweet responded quickly, and Green Sweet carried the person back with the speed of the scree.
Rong Jingqiu then looked at Rong Jingsi, "Fifth sister, please go over and watch first. I'll handle the matter here and then go over. The sixth sister will leave it to you." This place is just a corner. There must be many servants who saw the scene just now. They can't let them spread gossip and disfigure Jingji's reputation, and they can't spread the news of Rong Jingji's death, otherwise they are slapping the royal face.
In the era when imperial power was supreme, this was enough for the Rong family to drink a pot of food. The queen was a little scrupulous and would definitely hold a grudge.
Rong Jingsi also understood the seriousness of this and nodded, "Don't worry, third sister, I must be optimistic about the sixth sister."
After saying that, she hurriedly chased after her maid, feeling unspeakable and uncomfortable at this moment. For the first time, she realized that the Rong family was a whole, and that the fate of each of them was closely related to the family. If the family was not good, they could not get it well.
Then Rong Jingqiu shouted sharply around, "Who is here just now? I'll stand up for me if I count three times."
The servants around them stood up one after another. They just passed by. They never thought they would see the Six Girls seeking death? They boldly hid and watched secretly, and the timids left first.
Rong Jingqiu asked Mei'er to count the number of people and register the list one by one, then interrogate who had passed by here separately, and then asked the trusted housekeeper's wife to inform Rong Jin that these things cannot be hidden from the head of the family, and the ban order must be issued by Rong Jin.
Rong Jin was counting the warehouse to prepare Rong Jingji's dowry. She never thought she would hear such a terrifying thing? She was so scared that she almost fell off the Arhat bed and grabbed the butler's hand, "Didn't you fool me?"
"The third girl is still dealing with it. How dare the old slave deceive his wife?"
Then Rong Jin chanted the Buddha's name to thank the Buddha for blessing, otherwise the Rong family would not be able to take care of it. However, she was already scared and could not use her strength for a while. She had to support the housekeeper and Madam Hua who came to report the message, and then stood up.
After she recovered, she found some strength, threw away the two of them, and hurried to clean up the mess.
Rong Jingqiu has already asked questions here. In fact, she is not afraid of missing a fish. As long as the person is smart, he will not dare to talk nonsense when he sees the scene in the mansion. Otherwise, it will be easy for the Rong family to cure a servant.
Seeing her mother coming in a hurry, she was really worried about the situation on Rong Jingji's side, so she briefly explained the matter to her mother, and Rong Jinshi let her go first, "You must not let your sixth sister find a short-sighted view, remember, remember."
"Mom, I know." Rong Jingqiu knew what Rong Jinshi was afraid of, but compared to this, she cared more about Rong Jingji's life. This flower-like girl shouldn't have withered, and she still has a lot of youth that has not bloomed yet.
Looking at the back of his daughter's hurried departure, Rong Jin's heart was still covered with a layer of haze.
When Rong Jingqiu arrived at the house where Rong Jingji lived, before Rong Jingji woke up, Rong Jingsi sat by the bed and rubbed Rong Jingji's hands, and the tears in her eyes never stopped.
"Stop crying." Rong Jingqiu handed Fang Barzi to Rong Jingsi, "Wipe the tears so that you can't irritate your sixth sister later."
Rong Jingsi quickly took the veil and turned around and wiped away the tears. After a while, she turned around and said, "Three Sisters, is it really so scary in the East Palace?" So scary that the sixth sister was going to seek death?
As her identity, she had no chance to marry into the royal family, so she never considered this issue. Even if Rong Jingchun died later, she had never thought deeply about whether there was any other article in it. At that time, she had ridiculed her biological mother Rong Li, saying that Rong Jingchun would die early and would not have a blessing. After all, when the prince ascended the throne, Rong Jingchun would be the queen of the current dynasty and have a respectable status.
Now that she sees Rong Jingji's death or not entering the Eastern Palace, she has more ideas. Could it be that Rong Jingchun's death is really something else? Otherwise, why would Rong Jingji be so resistant?
Rong Jingqiu was unable to explain such a profound problem to Rong Jingsi for a while. After all, it involves the hidden secret that Rong Jingji has never wanted to show her. She is inferior because she is a concubine and has made every effort to marry a wife with a dignified goal. This mentality is very subtle.
Now she has been selected to be the concubine of the East Palace, which is contrary to the goal she has been pursuing. Then she is stimulated by the mischievous words of Aunt Fu, so she can't let go and want to die.
How can I explain these to Rong Jingsi?
What I can't say is not because she is afraid that Rong Jingsi will talk nonsense outside, but because she cannot do this and cannot open the wound that Rong Jingji was secretly wrapped to show her. This is disrespect for Rong Jingji.
"No, the East Palace is not that scary." Rong Jingqiu said directly, "The prince is a very gentle person."
She has seen the prince Zhao Chu. If there are no doubt that among the many sons today, who looks the most like a gentleman and who has the best temper, it must be Zhao Chu.
What's more, when she was the ninth princess in her previous life, she had suffered a lot of trouble from the queen, and Zhao Chu would stand up to protect her. Although he was for Zhao Yu's sake, even in this life, she still respected her ex-girlfriend from the bottom of her heart.
