Chapter 208 Persecution (6)

The old lady called Mother Luo and asked her to go to the palace in person: "Tell the princess about Yu Xi's poisoning. But the princess is pregnant, so you should be more tactful when you say it, so don't scare the princess."

Luo's mother was also terrified: "Old lady, who do you think will be the murderer?" It was so blatant and arrogant that it was frightening.

The old lady said: "This matter must have something to do with the Chen family." The Han family has never had a death feud with anyone, and it is even more impossible for Yuxi to have such a feud with anyone. Therefore, there are nine times out of ten that Yuxi was implicated by the Chen family.

When Luo's mother arrived, it happened that King Jing was also in the mansion.

Yuchen couldn't let King Jing go out, even though he saw Luo's mother's complexion was wrong, she still asked: "Mother's complexion is so ugly, is there something wrong with the Duke's Mansion?"

Mother Luo looked at Yuchen, saw Yuchen nodded slightly, and then she said: "My lord, my concubine, the fourth girl has been poisoned, and she is unconscious now."

Yuchen didn't expect Concubine Song to even use such indecent methods as poisoning, she really used everything: "How is it now? Have you been saved?" Yuxi escaped this catastrophe.

Luo's mother shook her head and said: "Miss Si has been given antidote, but Miss Si still hasn't woken up. The doctor said that if Miss Si doesn't wake up at night, she won't be able to wake up again."

After hearing this, King Jing asked, "Have you found out who poisoned you?"

Luo's mother shook her head and said: "I don't know, Madam is investigating. But the old lady said that the person who poisoned this time must be the same person who wanted to poison the fourth girl in the palace. The old lady was worried that this person would also harm the princess. The servant came here specially to inform the princess."

King Jing's face changed in an instant: "What? The fourth girl was almost killed in my palace? Why didn't I know about this?" Turning to look at Yuchen, seeing Yuchen lowering his head and not daring to look at him, he knew this right away There is an inside story.

With a wave of hands, let everyone go down. Only the husband and wife were left in the room, King Jing asked, "Chen'er, your natal fourth sister almost had an accident in the palace, why didn't you tell me such a big thing? What's going on?"

Yuchen said softly: "My lord, it was Tian Nanny who harmed Yuxi. Tian Nanny was given by the concubine mother. I was afraid that this matter would involve the concubine mother, so I dealt with Nanny Tian privately." As a daughter-in-law, you must never speak ill of your mother-in-law.

King Jing was silent, and after a while he said: "You have a good rest, I'll go out for a while." King Jing also grew up in the palace, after hearing Yuchen's words, how can he not know that he is afraid that this matter will be tied to his mother and concubine? relationship, that's why Yuchen was embarrassed. It's just that he still doesn't know why his mother and concubine want to have trouble with Miss Han Si.

Touching his belly, Yuchen sighed faintly. Princess Qinxin fell in love with Chen Ran, so she could directly ask the emperor for a marriage decree! Even if the Chen family is not willing, the imperial edict is issued, how can they still resist the imperial edict. He couldn't help the Chen family, so he only knew how to vent his anger on Yuxi, really...

Mother Luo followed Nanny Gui into the room, and repeated what she said just now: "Princess, the girl is worried that the mastermind behind this scene will be detrimental to the concubine. The old lady said that the concubine should be careful in everything."

Yuchen didn't expect that the old lady didn't know the inside story, and Yuxi didn't tell the story when she went back: "I have a measure of this matter, so grandma doesn't have to worry about it."

After Luo's mother left, Nanny Gui opened the crystal curtain, entered the room and said to Yuchen, "Princess, we can't let this matter continue." If this continues, we don't know what the imperial concubine will do things come. If the matter gets serious, the princess will not be a human being inside and out. After all, one side is her natal sister, and the other side is her mother-in-law. No matter which side the princess helps, it is wrong. But if the two don't want to help, they will appear too ruthless, and both parties will be dissatisfied with the princess.

After a moment of silence, Yuchen said: "The most appropriate way is to withdraw from the marriage.

But, will grandma and big cousin resign? "

Nanny Gui said: "You don't have to worry about that. The fourth girl is not a person who is submissive. This time, she wants to save her life. If she wants to save her life, she will definitely persuade the eldest lady to withdraw. The eldest lady agrees. That's not a problem." As for the old lady, she was selectively ignored by Nanny Gui. As long as the Duke agrees, it's useless if the old lady doesn't agree.

After a moment of silence, Yuchen said: "Let the noble concubine know that even if Yuxi dies, the Chen family will not let Chen Ran become the Lord, but will only let Chen Ran stay in filial piety for three years. If you want Qinxin to marry Chen Ran, let the Han family retire That's the most appropriate way."

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate, it's too obvious to do so. I think it's enough to let the princess know." The people around Concubine Song are all prostitutes. Noticed. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, it is better to be careful to avoid Song Guifei. There is no problem with Princess Qinxin.

Yuchen nodded: "Well, then you can do it!"

King Jing soon found out the truth, and was shocked and angry at the moment. He went into the palace to find Concubine Song, and said, "Mother Concubine, just because Qin Xin fell in love with Chen Ran, you are going to kill Miss Han Si?" The domineering way of doing things really made King Jing unacceptable.

The smile on Concubine Song's face disappeared instantly, and she asked, "Is it Han who told you that I killed Han Yuxi?"

No matter how stupid King Jing is, it is impossible to say that this matter has something to do with Yuchen: "This matter has nothing to do with Yuchen, I found out by accident today. Mother and concubine, it is the Chen family who disagrees with the Lord Shang now, and there is nothing wrong with killing Han Yuxi." What's the use?"

Concubine Song said: "Without Han Yuxi, your father would be able to issue the imperial edict of marriage." If it wasn't for the emperor's reluctance to issue the imperial edict of marriage, why bother so much effort.

King Jing was shocked and angry, but he also knew the temperament of Concubine Song. If you go against it, you can only make it reverse: "Mother Concubine, Qin Xin is a dignified princess, what kind of husband and son-in-law are you looking for? Why does Mother Concubine choose Chen Ran as her son-in-law?"

Concubine Song glanced at her son, and said quietly: "It's not that the concubine mother must choose Chen Ran as her son-in-law, it's because your sister doesn't like tea or food after meeting Chen Ran, it's like a different person. "The mother naturally hopes that her daughter can get the best in the world. Seeing her daughter like this, how can she bear it? Naturally, she wants to fulfill her.

King Jing said: "Mother Concubine, you can't follow Qin Xin in everything. Qin Xin is still young and doesn't understand anything, but Mother Concubine should know that a twisted melon is not sweet. He married Qin Xin, will he treat Qin Xin well? Under such circumstances, mother concubine, can you rest assured that you will marry Qin Xin to him? Concubine mother, there are many people who are better than Chen Ran in this world. There are too few people in the deep palace to meet, but when I see Chen Ran suddenly, I feel that he is unparalleled in the world."

Concubine Song also has her helplessness: "I have also told Qin Xin many times, but Chen Ran is the only thing Qin Xin has to do, and the concubine mother can't help it?"

King Jing said, "Shall I go talk to Qin Xin?"

Concubine Song nodded her head and said, "Then you go!" But it didn't help much. Ever since Qinxin met Chen Ran, she seemed to have been taken away, and she only had Chen Ran in her eyes. She tried to persuade him a few times, but unfortunately it was of no use.

King Jing and Qin Xin failed to reach an agreement, and in the end, under the offensive of Qin Xin's tears, they returned home in defeat.

Han Jianming hurried back to the mansion when he heard that Dao Yuxi had been poisoned. Entering Tao Ranju, he asked Qiu Shi who was guarding the bed: "Mother, how is Yu Xi?"

When Han Jianming entered the house, Aunt Quan asked Zi Jin to guard the door to prevent anyone from coming in, and left her and Mama Li in the room.

The Qiu family did not hide the truth from Han Jianming, and told him the truth of the matter: "Jianming, you should go to Chen's house now and cancel the marriage."

Han Jianming was startled: "Mother..."

Qiu Shi pointed to Yuxi on the bed and said, "Don't tell me the truth, just take a look and see what Yuxi has become?"

Han Jianming looked at Yuxi who was still in a coma, unable to speak a word.

Qiu said in a calm voice: "Jianming, although Yuxi is not my own, she has done more for me and your brothers over the years than her own daughter. Jianming, people can't be without conscience. Yuxi is suffering like this now. If we don't stand by her side, she will have no way out."

Han Jianming's voice was dry, and he said, "Mother, the Chen family will not agree to divorce." If they forcibly withdraw the marriage, it would be tantamount to enmity with the Chen family.

Qiu Shi said coldly: "If they insist on not agreeing to withdraw their marriage, they will tear their face apart. Chen Ran's life is fate, but Yu Xi's life is not fate?" Said: "If you don't go, then I will go by myself."

Han Jianming hurriedly said: "Mom, I didn't say no. I was just thinking about how to withdraw the marriage without hurting the peace." At this juncture, it is wishful thinking to want to withdraw the marriage without hurting the peace. As long as the Han family withdraws, the feud will be settled.

Knowing the son is more like the mother, the Qiu family still doesn't know what Han Jianming is thinking: "Jianming, I know you don't want to be enemies with the Chen family, and I don't want to be an enemy with the Chen family. But we can't stand by because we are afraid of becoming enemies with the Chen family." Watching Yuxi go to die."

Sister Quan interjected at this moment: "I know that the Duke has always wanted to revitalize the Duke's Mansion. But has the Duke thought about what would happen if the fourth girl had an accident and the second master knew the truth? Lord, it’s hard to support alone, you can’t revive the family business by yourself,” Han Jianye was sent to other places for business a month ago, and at that time, Han Jianye thought that the business was over and he would just come back to attend Yuxi’s wedding, so he didn’t delay anything. So there is no excuse.

There is a saying that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Han Jianming was brought up by the old lady, and she has always instilled in him the idea of ​​revitalizing the family business. Over the years, Han Jianming has developed all family interests. Xìng son. Han Jianye was brought up by the Qiu family, and to Han Jianye, friendship is the most important thing. Therefore, if Han Jianye knew that Han Jianming had sacrificed Yuxi for profit, even if the brothers did not turn against each other, it would be absolutely impossible for him to assist Han Jianming.

After listening to Madam Quanquan, Qiu said, "Your grandfather often said that in a lifetime, there are certain things that you can do and some things you can't do. You can't do anything to sacrifice your loved ones for the sake of profit."

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Chen family tomorrow to withdraw from the marriage." If you don't withdraw from the marriage, you will end up with a quarrel between mother and child, and brothers will turn against each other, then it will be called a big loss.

Qiu Shi was dissatisfied: "Why don't you go now." She wished she could let Yuxi break away from the Chen family now, so that Concubine Song would not kill Yuxi again.

For Qiu's personality who said that the wind is the rain, Han Jianming has a headache. Fortunately, at this time, Sister Quan stood up and helped to speak: "Ma'am, retiring is not a trivial matter, it must be prepared by the Duke."

Only then did Qiu Shi nodded, and said: "Okay! Then you hurry up and prepare, and go to the Chen family tomorrow to retire the marriage. I'm here, so you don't have to worry." (To be continued)
