The Favored Concubine of the Royal Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(225)

He also heard that Yao Niang was a concubine, and her children could not be raised, and her life was miserable. His expression became complicated. After all, he is his own child. After raising him for more than ten years, how can he not feel sorry for him?

"If she had listened honestly to her family, why would she have come to this point?" What he thinks in his heart is completely different from what he says in his mouth. Su Xiucai will not show weakness, but this is what he really thinks in his heart.

"Is it different to listen to you or to be Master He's concubine? What's the difference?!"

"This is what Yucheng's wife said. Just ask her. In her situation, anyone who wanted to be a concubine would have burnt incense. Do you hope that she will never get married and be criticized by others?"

"After all, you only care about your own reputation. What's the use of your ruined reputation? You can only hold on to it all day long." The Wu family had a big explosion today.

No one expected that the old couple would have a quarrel before the story came out.

Seeing this situation, Su Yucheng's face didn't look very good, "Since you're not doing well, let's go home."

"Yes, yes, yes, go home, go home. Come on, my second girl, go home with mother." Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and went to pull Yao Niang.

Su Xiucai didn't say anything, but Zhu said anxiously: "What are you doing taking her back? How can you support one more person in such a situation at home? She has such a bad reputation. Dad, do you have the nerve to go out to meet people in the future? Mother?" You want someone to be poked in the spine?"

He turned around and yelled at Su Yucheng: "Take her back, and you can work as a coolie to earn money to support her!"

It has to be said that Mrs. Zhu is very good at calculating people's hearts. At least she knows the thoughts of the Su family very well and knows what the other party cares about most.

Su Xiucai was the most shameless, and Wu was most afraid of the wives and aunts in the neighborhood talking about her family affairs, but Su Yucheng was used to idleness, so it was better to kill him than to let him work as a coolie.

Su Xiucai and Su Yucheng stopped talking immediately, and Wu also hesitated a little.

Zhu said again: "You think you can be a concubine for a wealthy family just because you want to be able to leave? They are all people who have signed a deed. If you want to redeem yourself, you need money. Besides, they don't lack this little money. Why?" I want you to redeem yourself. If you are born, you are someone else's, and if you die, you are someone else's ghost. For a rich family, they won't let you take the family if they are beaten to death."

Zhu originally wanted to dissuade the Su family by describing the rich family as powerful, hateful and scary. To put it bluntly, the Su family are ordinary people who are most afraid of causing trouble, but they never thought that these words would arouse the resentment and fear of the Wu family.

Mrs. Wu thought that no matter where she was, her daughter would always be able to survive and have something to eat. This wealthy family is so scary. What if the princess who can't have children deliberately tortures her daughter to death just to take away the child completely?

"We don't want the child anymore. You go back with your mother, and your mother will support you. Your father and brother don't care about you, and your mother. Even if she can't do it, you still have your sister... Go home with your mother, we won't stay here anymore..." Wu Just go and get Yao Niang. Yao Niang was crying because she was acting, but now her tears fell down: "Mom, I..."

"Mom, go and beg the prince. He is such a big official and will definitely not care about people like us. If he doesn't agree, mom will keep begging him. Don't be afraid..." Wu's eyes flickered with uneasiness, but she still said so. .

This is a motherly heart.

When both father and brother hesitated, only the mother rushed out without hesitation.

It's not that Mrs. Wu doesn't love Yao Niang, she just has no choice. Back then, Mrs. Zhu always found trouble at home, and she had the mentality to endure it as long as she could. This daughter-in-law was hard-earned, and she also said the same to Yao Niang. So when Huiniang said she would take the girl away to lighten the family's burden, she agreed.

Who would have thought that something like that would happen to Yaoniang? It would be scandalous for her daughter's family to become pregnant before marriage. Not only is it scandalous, but the family can no longer afford it. Yao Cheng felt guilty and Hui Niang was angry, so he took Yao Niang away. After the child was born, the daughter-in-law made arrangements to find a home for her daughter. Although she was being treated as a concubine, for her daughter's situation, being a concubine was better than being criticized all her life, so Mrs. Wu remained silent.

People always have a happy or even lucky attitude towards things that have not happened. Maybe it will get better, maybe it can be passed. But when Ms. Wu really saw how hard her daughter was living, she couldn't help it.

She has a shallow vision and limited knowledge. She cannot consider the seriousness of the situation. She just subconsciously wants to take her daughter away and protect her under her weak wings. After understanding all this, Yao Niang couldn't help but shed tears.

She has been holding her breath in her heart, angry that her parents ignored Zhu's plan to sell her to someone as a concubine, and her angry mother always asked her to put up with Zhu, so that Zhu could be domineering at home.

So her life is obviously getting better, but she has been unwilling to have direct contact with her family. But in fact, if her family is really bad-hearted, she would have been beaten to death long ago when she was pregnant, how could she still be able to go to her sister? Home, give birth to the little baby.

Even if her father and brother don't love her anymore, she still has a mother...

"Let's go! I'll go and beg the prince. I expect that the prince is also a scholar, so he won't force anyone into trouble."

"father……"

Su Xiucai cared about face the most, and the word "begging" was never heard from his mouth. If this were not the case, he would have been born as a scholar, and there would be no more than ten people in a county, and he would not have lived in such poverty and embarrassment, all because he was too rotten.

Yao Niang cried even harder, and Hui Niang also came up with tears in her eyes.

"And sister, sister also went to beg him..."

Huiniang was already in her prime, and Yao Cheng walked up with a strong smile even though he knew what he would encounter.

"And brother-in-law..."

"What you're doing here sounds like you're doing something. It's not about separation between life and death. Okay, okay, brother, go and beg..."

"Su Yucheng, what are you doing!" Zhu jumped three feet high and cursed: "These people's heads are broken, so are you?"

"You're out of your fucking mind! That's my sister..." Under Zhu's glare, Su Yucheng sighed softly: "At worst, I will do odd jobs for a few more days to make some money, so don't... "

Outside the door, King Jin couldn't stand any longer.

In just a short time, he turned into a heinous bully, requiring the other person's elders to beg him for generations, causing his whole family to be separated for life and death.

He cleared his throat and walked inside.

But the Su family didn't notice it at all. Fucheng saw something was wrong and hurriedly acted as the little eunuch who signed up and sang: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived——"

Following this sound, more than a dozen eunuchs and maidservants filed in from outside the door and knelt down in two rows.

"Greetings to Your Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

With this formation and this posture, and seeing that the man who walked in was exceptionally outstanding, noble and handsome, the Su family was immediately stunned.

There were still tears on Yao Niang's face. Seeing this, she couldn't help but wink at King Jin. King Jin didn't look at her and came to sit down on the Grand Master's chair in the first place.

The maid served the tea, and King Jin picked up the tea cup. He didn't say anything, but half-closed his eyes and brushed the foam on the tea.

Below, the Yao and Su families were both silent and embarrassed. Even the ignorant children were so frightened that they huddled behind their parents and did not dare to show their heads.

Seeing this, Fucheng, who was said to have roundworms in King Jin's stomach, naturally wanted to speak. In fact, he was watching outside the door just now, so he naturally understood what Concubine Su was making.

"You are Concubine Su's family, right? His Highness passed by here, and since he saw it, it would be rude to avoid seeing her. Your Highness has always been kind to others and courteous to virtuous corporals. You don't have to be afraid of being embarrassed."

Seeing that the older man was more imposing than the prince sitting there, the prince did not speak, but he spoke first. Zhu couldn't help but said, "I haven't asked yet who you are?"

How did Mr. Zhu know that the rules of these nobles were strange? The higher the status, the less they talked. Especially for those with high status and those with low status, it is always the people around them who speak for them.

"Our family?" Fucheng smiled arrogantly and puffed out his chest, "Our family is not talented, but the general manager of this palace. You can call me General Manager Fu."

"Oh, it turns out to be the chief steward! I am Su, Su's concubine's sister-in-law, I..."

Su Yucheng pulled Zhu from behind, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she hesitated.

"You are the chief steward, that's just right." At this time, Su Xiucai took a step forward, straightened his scribe's shirt, and then said, "I am Su Yaoniang's father..."

Fucheng stretched out his hand as a gesture of interruption, with a slight smile on his face, but mixed with aloof and inviolable.

"Senior scholar of the Su family, please do not mention the matter that you and others discussed just now. We, the Prince of Jin, have the rules of the palace. Concubine Su is the female concubine of the palace. She should abide by her duties and do not discuss other matters. I think you and others are the first offenders. , Your Highness will not take any action. I hope you will not do it again. Please remember this."

"this--"

As a woman, it is natural to abide by the ways of a woman. Moreover, Su Xiucai just stood up in a moment of anger. This breath was interrupted, so naturally he could not hold on.

Fucheng would naturally not let Su Xiucai get off the stage, and said: "Master Su family, don't worry. Although Concubine Su is a low-key person, she has given birth to two young masters for His Highness after all. Your Highness is wise, martial, and smart, so naturally he will not let Concubine Su. What a great injustice.”

There are no big grievances, but small grievances will definitely be ignored.

Is that what you mean?

The Su family all heard this meaning, and then they thought that the princess in the palace was the elder woman after all, and it was natural for the elder wife to make things difficult for the younger wife. It's a bit uncomfortable to be wronged, but it's better than losing your life, right?

Wu also heard that the palace would not agree to them taking her daughter away, and said with tears: "I hope the prince can be considerate of my daughter. I, Yaoyao, am suffering..."
