Accumulate Wealth in Life

Shuzi High Gate (12)

Today's day is a little gloomy, and it looks like a mountain rain is about to come.

When it was auspicious, the female relatives headed by Princess Yiheng and Princess Duan began to rush to the main hall. The Gan family followed closely behind Prince Concubine Heng, and the one who walked side by side with her was Concubine Qi from Prince Duan's mansion.

Gan glanced at Qi, put his hand on his stomach involuntarily, and his eyes were alert.

Qi's eyes glanced at Gan's stomach, and he sneered in disdain. Just having a baby is like carrying a golden egg.

With this laugh, Princess Duan turned around and glanced at the Qi family with a warning in her eyes. Immediately, he glanced at Princess Heng and said in a low voice, "Brother and sister, that is someone who can't stand on the stage. It's really disrespectful."

Princess Heng sighed in her heart, without the slightest wave on her face, only nodded slightly without saying a word.

Princess Duan didn't seem to have any self-consciousness to hit the nail. Her concubine is also a pitiful person. Over the years, her temperament has always been like this, so she is not surprised.

When they got to the main hall, everyone knelt down one by one. Mrs Gan knelt on the back of Princess Heng, lowered her head, gently pulled Princess Heng's sleeve, and whispered, "Xiang'er, I need your help."

Princess Heng's body froze suddenly.

Xiang'er - no one called her that for many years.

At that time, the two of them were little girls with similar temperaments, and their relationship was irreversible. I hate being a good person. Later, the two grew up slowly, and they became Princess Heng, and she married Uncle Wei Yuan.

Who would have expected that one day, they would become the first wife and concubine of the same man. Such a relationship is really ironic.

When she entered the mansion, others only said that she was similar to the deceased person, but she could deceive others but not herself, and she knew that she was Gan Quan. Turned into ashes also recognized, she is Ganquan.

For fifteen years, the two of them lived in the same house, but they never said a word. Without waiting for her explanation, he didn't have the courage to ask the truth. The two are like strangers, the well water does not make the river water.

This was the first time she had spoken to herself in so many years.

"Huh?" He couldn't help but replied.

Tears flashed in Mrs Gan's eyes: "...After you go back today, you must visit me..."

What does it mean?

see you? Why don't you see me?

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Princess Heng's heart, and she wanted to ask her, but outside, everyone was watching her every move, so she had to nod slightly with doubts and disdain in her stomach.

This chanting lasted for most of the day, and everyone knelt on their seats. The people in the hall are all the female family members of the clan, and the outside are the family members of the ministers.

It was already very cold in the mountains, and the main hall was still able to keep out the wind, and with the lit incense candles, there was not much coolness. On the contrary, outside the main hall, the wind blowing in the mountains is chilling from the inside out.

Yun Shi whispered to the old lady beside her: "You move your legs a little..." Keeping a movement so stiff, let alone the old man, even she herself can't hold it. Tomorrow, whatever you say, you have to put on a warmer sweater inside.

Honorable officials and eunuchs are afraid of encountering such a major event. With just a set of etiquette, the tossing person can lose half his life.

The old lady shook her head at Yun Shi impatiently, and it is estimated that it is almost time today. In the past two days, she had something in her heart. In fact, just listening to the chanting so quietly, she felt more at ease than usual.

After less than a quarter of an hour, sure enough, the sound of Ming Jin sounded, and today is here. But no matter how tired he is, Ma Shan can't stand up now, he has to wait for the nobles in the hall to get up first.

At this moment, a mutation protruded, and the sound of clamor and screams came from the hall.

The people outside stood up immediately, and couldn't help but get up and squeeze inside, wanting to see what happened.

"What's the matter?" Yun shi quickly helped the old lady, leaning on tiptoe to look inside.

The old lady can't see Yun Shi's appearance like this, so she can take a good look at it, what is this doing? She was not good at berating outside, so she only shook off her support and took two steps forward.

At this moment, I heard someone in the hall shout: "I see red... I see red... Concubine Gan has a miscarriage!"

Suddenly, the crowd exploded. Who doesn't know what a child means to Prince Heng. Why did it happen to be a miscarriage again? Who dares to contaminate this? For a while, they all stepped back, for fear that the suspicion could not be cleared.

"Don't leave. This is not a trivial matter. Please invite the lord to come, and after the inquiries are clear, let him go." The voice inside was an old female voice.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat, this was Princess Wenhui's voice. She is really afraid now, afraid that this matter has something to do with her wicked daughter.

After Princess Wenhui finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the Gan family. Gan's plain white skirt was already stained red with blood, but one hand was holding Qi's tightly, and he muttered to himself, "Qi's hurt me... Qi's hurt me... You can't let her go... "

Qi Shi herself was blinded, and she didn't know how to step on Gan Shi's skirt and asked her to fall out at once, and she immediately became popular.

Princess Wenhui is the elder sister of the emperor and the aunt of the two princes. She has a distinguished status and a high level of seniority. Seeing the appearance of Gan and Qi, she immediately frowned. But her identity, where would she condescend to talk to a side room. In a blink of an eye, he looked at Princess Heng, whose face was already pale, "Xiangjun, tell the Gan family to let go of the Qi family, and it looks like you are pulling and pulling. You have already sent someone to ask for an imperial doctor, and your prince is coming soon... …”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard noise outside. Prince Heng's voice came in: "What's the matter? Quan'er...what's the matter?" As soon as the voice fell, people had already entered the hall, and when he saw Gan Shi's appearance, Prince Heng's eyes suddenly turned red, "Quan'er... Er... what's the matter?" After speaking, he scolded Prince Heng on the side: "How did you take care of her? What can you do?"

Li Xiangjun's face suddenly turned pale. And Gan's hand froze suddenly.

"Enough!" Princess Wenhui scolded: "Why are you talking to your daughter-in-law? I think you are obsessed..."

Prince Heng immediately closed his voice: "The imperial physician, call the imperial physician..." As he spoke, he was about to embrace the Gan family, "Let's go back...it's cold here..."

Mrs Gan pushed Prince Heng away at once: "No! I'm not leaving! Mrs Qi harmed me..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Prince Heng scolded. I was a little puzzled. Saying this again, let everyone know what they have in mind, and then say it again. What's wrong with Mr. Gan today? How come it didn't work out.

"My lord, I won't leave if you don't decide for me today!" Gan Shi looked sad and charming, but looked at Prince Heng with a stomachache.

Prince Heng's eyes narrowed involuntarily, but there was a bit of helplessness on his face: "Okay! How do you want me to decide for you..." He said so, but he stubbornly stepped forward and embraced the Gan family. His waist was pinched fiercely, "Don't be fooling around anymore..."

Gan's waist hurt, and her face turned pale, but she still looked at Prince Heng stubbornly: "My lord can bear it for the sake of brotherhood, but I can't bear it. I can't do anything to others, don't even Qi Shi also call her Happy..."

"Don't talk about it!" Prince Heng said with grief and indignation, but the strength in his hand was even greater.

Mrs Gan turned to look at Mrs Qi who was hiding behind Princess Duan, and burst out laughing, looking at Mrs Qi with poisonous eyes: " Mrs Qi... the Qi family... it's so nice..." , she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Chu behind the crowd: "Mrs. Chu, I heard that your family is married to the Qi family. You have to be careful about this girl from the Qi family..." I took a pair of them to the side. The concubine couldn't help it, so she didn't make the Qi family feel better. Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her waist and thighs, and Prince Heng's obscure and snake-like eyes stared at her into a cold sweat, but so what. She saw that the people around Madam Chu gave way slightly, and then said, "I heard that Miss Qi, the granddaughter of the Lin family, is the daughter-in-law you appointed for your second son?" She bit the word 'two' very hard. It's serious, I'm afraid that Mrs. Chu and the people around can't understand the meaning and meaning of it.

Madam Chu was stunned, what did you say? It is obviously the marriage of the fourth child, how could it become the second child. Her second child is already... Thinking of this, when she felt a pain in her heart, she somewhat understood the meaning of Concubine Gan, she could not take Concubine Qi, so she sincerely abused the daughter of the Qi family.

She opened her mouth to refute. Today's matter is between the two palaces, and it is impossible for her own palace to interfere. It's too late to hide, who is stupid and will bump up? In her heart, she complained that her master didn't dare to agree to the marriage with the Qi family. Look, now it's a story!

Seeing Mrs. Chu want to speak, Mrs. Gan turned pale and said coldly like a ghost: "I heard that Mrs. Chu likes the girls of the Qi family very much, and she even met her in-laws at Ci'an Temple. Mrs. Chu needs to polish it up. Eye……"

Ci'an Temple meeting with in-laws? This is not about himself and Lin Fanghua, but about his son and that little bitch.

Madam Chu's heart skipped a beat, this is a threat! This is the threat! If she doesn't agree, she will definitely shout out about her stupid son and the Qi family girl.

But the old lady who heard this outside was moved. This seems to be abusive, but it is an opportunity for Duoer. Anyone who does this kind of marriage is one shoulder to another, or an adoptive child. No matter which one it is, it is a good choice for Duoer. She made up her mind, took two steps inside, and said, "What Concubine Side said is that Lao Shen's granddaughter is betrothed to the second son of Duke Jin."

Mrs. Chu glanced at the old lady with a deep meaning, all the old and young are shameless. But in the end, he nodded: "The concubine side even knows about this..." It's better to marry in, and keep it at home, it's better than being sneaky. In this way, there is indeed no trouble at all.

When Mrs Gan saw her ex-grandmother, she thought to herself: You really got together. She looked at the old lady, and then at Madam Chu: "Now, I will also be a matchmaker to marry the old lady's granddaughter to the fourth son of Madam Chu's family, how about it?"

Everyone involuntarily took a breath. This Gan family was really spoiled by Prince Heng, how could he do such a thing? The daughter-in-law of the uncle's mansion is given to the sick son of the prince's mansion. Isn't this abusing people? Especially as everyone knows that the fourth son was matched with the daughter of the Qi family. Can this orphaned daughter of the Qi family bereaved her father be compared with the direct daughter of the Lin family? I've pitted a good girl!

In the early years, according to legend, this old man was similar to the uncle who passed away early, and it may be the same person. This kind of speculation has never stopped in secret. But now, looking at the daughter of the Lin family who arranged it like this, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads, this is definitely not the same person, there is no such mother.

Even Mrs. Chu thought so, it was too cruel. But she was very satisfied with this choice. She had originally chosen the direct daughter of the Lin family to be the daughter-in-law of the concubine. The purpose is to look good on the face, so that people can also see if she is sincere towards her concubine. It should be done now, and it is also good! So he said without hesitation: "The second girl of the Lin family is very good. I also love something in my heart, I'm afraid our children won't be able to climb high."

The old lady didn't understand Gan's meaning, but the mother arranged it, even if it was grievances, the two girls had to suffer. She hurriedly said, "Don't be wronged! Don't be wronged!"

The corners of Prince Heng's mouth moved, and Mrs. Gan grabbed Prince Heng's hand: "Go back... If I see Mrs. Qi again, this will not be the case. I still have a lot to say in front of everyone... If I don't leave, I'm afraid I can't help but say it out..."

This is definitely not what Prince Heng is willing to let people know about what he said in public.

"Okay! Let's go back." Prince Heng sneered, even threatening himself. He hated his teeth so much, but he still looked distressed and helpless. He glanced at Mrs. Chu and the old lady: "Your family's marriage, this king..." Just as he was about to say that he would not participate, he felt his arm hurt. , his words changed, "This king is waiting to drink the wedding wine of the two of you..."

Looking at the back of Prince Heng holding the Gan family away, Prince Heng's concubine Li Xiangjun suddenly felt uncomfortable in his chest. She used to think it was love, but just now she clearly saw how the prince's hand was twisted on Gan Quan's waist. She felt like she had discovered something remarkable.

Suddenly, I remembered what Gan Quan had told him to see her after today was over, so he didn't stop, and hurried back.

When she reached the door of Xiaozhu, her footsteps suddenly stopped. In a strange way, she took a few more detours, followed the path in the back mountain, and went behind Xiaozhu.

There is no courtyard wall here, standing here, you can hear the movement in the house. However, apart from the master of Prince Heng's mansion, outsiders can't get close at all. Thanks to the fact that I was still a princess, and the guards who were hidden in the dark did not stop me. The back of this house is next to the stream, which is also one of the reasons why no one can get close.

She accidentally stepped into the water, and then sent the girl to get clothes, shoes and socks, and she sat on the stone pier by the stream. She didn't understand what she wanted to hear, but she just had a mentality to find out.

While thinking about it, he suddenly heard a 'bitch'. She was startled immediately, this was the voice of the lord. Who is she scolding?

For a moment, she felt the blood on her body coagulate.

As soon as Prince Heng came into the room with Mrs Gan in his arms, he threw Mrs Gan on the ground, lifted his foot and stepped on his stomach: "Bitch! You bastard!" He took it down and slapped Gan Shi fiercely, "I told you to make up your own mind, and I told you to act on your own terms, but you dared to threaten this king in public! You really have the guts."

Gan Shi held his stomach, but raised his face, "Hit! Hit the face! If you don't dare, put away your suit!"

Prince Heng's hand suddenly stopped, "Yeah! Your good face is still useful! Why would I be willing to fight? Don't you feel bad for your cub?" Step on Gan's stomach.

Gan's face turned pale, and there was a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

"Bone is really hard!" Prince Heng leaned down, "Actually, which son of Jin Chengan your daughter is married to, it doesn't matter to this king at all. What this king cannot tolerate is your self-assertion! You This temper is really wild. After more than ten years, this king thought he was tamed, but he didn't want to be so unruly. Before, you didn't listen to nice words, but now, this king uses whips. If you don't listen, you can only use daggers I've spoken. This king doesn't like things that he can't control, you'd better remember it for me."

Saying that, he threw down the whip, stood up straight, and raised Gan's chin with his toes: "You think the marriage is announced in public, even if it's a deal? What if it's settled? This king can exchange people back. I Look, let’s call the Duke of Jin’s Mansion Sanxilinmen. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know who is the master!”

Gan Shi endured the pain, pushed Prince Heng's feet away, and frowned in disgust: "Since the lord wants the fish to die and the net to break, then let the fish die and the net break. I can't help the lord, but if the jade and stone are burned, I can still do it. Does the lord want to try? "

Prince Heng was about to speak, when he heard the report in person from outside: "My lord, the princess is here."

"Why is she here?" Prince Heng frowned, and the sullenness on his body was taken away. He picked up Mrs. Gan on the couch, and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before pulling the blanket. , cover Gan Shi, "Remember, what can be said and what can't be said."

"It's good that the lord knows my usefulness." Mrs Gan took a deep breath, "Don't push me in a hurry, otherwise... the rabbit will bite people in a hurry. What's more, if a woman like me bites the lord, Not only will it get three points into the flesh, but there is also poison on the teeth."

Prince Heng took a serious look at Mrs Gan: "Very good! I hope your bones are as hard as ever!" After speaking, he raised his voice: "Tell the princess to come in."

Li Xiangjun entered and said, "I'll just ask, why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"

Prince Heng's face showed a bit of apology: "I was in a hurry in the hall just now, and I wrongly blamed the princess. I'm sorry." Then he looked at the Gan family with a distressed look, "I'm afraid that the imperial doctor was blocked by someone. Called here. This king has already sent someone to invite Master Xu. His medical skills are still trustworthy."

Li Xiangjun glanced at Gan Quan on the bed and felt very uncomfortable. She finally knew why she said she needed help earlier. If he hadn't come over by himself, the lord might not know what she would be like.

Today's fight was something she had long expected, so she turned to herself for help.

The second girl of the Lin family is Gan Quan's biological daughter. Others said that the girl of the Lin family gave Gan Quan a pit, but she knew that Gan Quan would have difficulties in doing so. This is probably the best arrangement she can give her daughter.

Seeing that the princess didn't speak, Prince Heng stood up and said, "This prince will go to see if the Taoist priest is here. You two sisters should talk first."

Watching Prince Heng go out, Li Xiangjun took three or two steps to the front of the bed, lifted the blanket, and saw the crisscrossing whip marks on his clothes, covered in blood. She covered her mouth at once: "This...this..."

Gan Shi just smiled: "Cover it on me, don't let him know that you already know."

Li Xiangjun sat beside Gan dazedly: "I'm confused... I've lived in vain all these years... Why didn't you tell me."

"Tell you what?" Gan shi laughed at himself and stopped talking.

The corners of Li Xiangjun's mouth moved, but she didn't ask anything in the end. She probably knew what was going on here. Just looking at Mrs Gan and said, "Today, what's the matter with you? That girl you gave birth to..."

"Otherwise, the lord will ask this child to marry that second young master." Gan's voice slowly lowered, "No matter how bad his body is, he is still a living person. It is better than a dead person. There is no choice! "

Li Xiangjun was stunned at first, and then asked clearly, "Aren't you afraid that Madam Chu will not agree?"

Mrs. Chu knew about her son's affairs with Qi Duo'er and would not refuse. But if there is no such handle, she can only find a way to replace the person, she took Li Xiangjun's hand: "...Isn't there still you? I think you can always help to replace the person, boil the raw rice. The rice is mature, and when I want to change it, I can't change it..."

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun's expression became strange in an instant: "Do you know, if I hadn't broken the truth today, I actually hate you in my heart! If you really trust me like you did before , like me asking for help to save your daughter, maybe I won't think deeply about the root cause, why you don't ask the prince. I will think about what tricks you want to play. I promise to help at the meeting, but I do nothing secretly. I will watch your daughter marry a dead man. You are making me a widow, why should I save your daughter... The mother's debt is the right thing to do..."

All the expressions on Gan's face froze: "I thought... I thought you should have known about the situation of the lord..." Having said that, she didn't speak any more. She suddenly understood a truth, that is, no one can rely on, the only one who can rely on is herself. If you don't have the power of your own, then, let alone protect the person you want to protect, even yourself, you may lose your life because of a small mistake.

If Mrs. Chu didn't know about Jin Shouren and Qi Duoer, she would not have been able to bear the public persecution of a lady of a country who changed her mind and agreed to the marriage. But working in secret, the only person who can help is Li Xiangjun, but the sister in her heart, when she doesn't know the truth, is no longer a sister, but an enemy.

This small mistake may have really cost the child's life...
