Chapter 553 I am not willing to see him marry a bride

After Yuan's salute, a maid came up to help her, so she raised her head.

Zhao Xiwei sat in the rose chair, dressed in lotus-colored plain gauze, with cranes embroidered with silver-gray silk thread on the sleeves, and two lake-green jade bracelets on his tender white wrists. It was a slender neck, surrounded by fluffy white fox fur, which made the already radiant and clean face even more radiant.

Yuan Shi was still observing her words, her gaze hadn't turned to Zhao Xiwei's face, when she suddenly heard the court lady's scolding: "Young lady hastily asked for an audience, it's extremely rude, now the princess is thinking of the old love to let you in, Hurry up and kowtow to thank you!"

Yuan Shi was taken aback for a moment.

This time when she came to ask for help, Zhao Xiwei's demeanor and demeanor, in her heart, she had gone through the wheel thousands of times.

The difficulties when she first returned to the mansion, the prosperity after getting married to the prince, and the skyrocketing after marrying into the East Palace... All these things, thinking of what she had done, her heart was pounding along the way.

With Zhao Xiwei's unreasonable and unforgiving character, I'm afraid he will humiliate himself this time, right?

But for the sake of her daughter, even if she endured the humiliation, what's the point?

As long as she can have a good home for her daughter, even if she knelt at Zhao Xiwei's feet and broke her forehead, it would be worth it!
She gritted her teeth, lifted the hem of the skirt, bent her legs without hesitation, and her knees stuck to the ground.

Zhao Xiwei didn't want to touch her too much at first, but he didn't expect her to kneel so neatly, so he withdrew his outstretched arm and looked at her indifferently as he bowed down.

The Tsing Yi is rolled up, and the red belt is on the ground.

Yuan fell on the ground for a long time and did not get up.

She kowtowed this head very piously, as if a believer was praying to the Bodhisattva. She raised her eyebrows and opened her lips, all of which were her repentance for the past and her expectations for the future: "My concubine, Yuan Shi, pays homage to the Crown Princess, and wishes the Crown Princess all the best Ankang, happiness and longevity."

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "My lady, please get up."

Only then did Yuan Shi get up, and when she looked at Zhao Xiwei again, the submissiveness in her expression deepened: "Princess Concubine, I... this concubine is here for..."

"I already know." Zhao Xiwei interrupted her, raised his hand and told the palace servants: "Give Lady Yuan some tea."

Yuan Shi's eye sockets were slightly wet, and he hurriedly bent his knees and wanted to kneel down again: "I dare not."

"Oh, you don't need to be too polite, my lady." The maids at the side were all shocked by this battle, their princess and concubine are the most gentle people, why does this Lady Yuan kowtow three times and four times when they meet each other?
Zhao Xiwei is like a mirror in his heart.

Yuan's is no better than Xu Yunjiao, Xu Yunjiao follows her emotions, while Yuan's follows her interests.

The reason why he is so humble now is because he wants something from others.

She laughed and said straight to the point: "Lady, get up, I'm not such a formal person, since I called you here, I just want to discuss how to solve the problem together."

"Yes, thank you, Crown Princess." Yuan Shi just took her seat, held the teacup, raised her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

After holding back for a while, I still couldn't hold back, and stared at the past again.

What a noble and delicate face this is.

Lips as red as peach blossoms, eyebrows as slender as willow leaves, skin as clear as snow, and between those eyebrows, there seems to be nothing but laziness...

Rao Yuan Shi never liked to compare with others in terms of appearance, and at this moment, she suddenly felt a little sour.

They are all married, so why is there such a big difference, why is she living so comfortably like a flower in a greenhouse?

On the other hand, what did you gain by marrying into the Zhao family?
With just one piece of paper and Li Shu, she just became an abandoned woman from a high family.

No, no, she is not an abandoned wife, she reconciled on her own initiative, and she also took away all the property of the unscrupulous man-property...property!
Thinking of property, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she woke up suddenly.

That goddammit, in order to get revenge on her, he wanted to steal his daughter's dowry!

Zhao Xiwei saw her change, but didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "Second sister Pei is more than three months pregnant, the Pei family is on the verge of breaking out, and the second uncle is also very anxious. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. The marriage can no longer be postponed, if it is just for a mere 3000 taels, it would be too much to lose, it would not only make the neighbors more jokes, but also bring shame to the ancestors of the Zhao family..."

"Since my lady asks me for help, I can't bear to just stand by and watch—" Zhao Xiwei picked up the tea, gently skimmed off the froth, and said slowly, "In my opinion, it's better for the lady to take some of it out of her body. As the dowry for Sister Yu, I don't know how the lady plans it?"

The Yuan family reconciled and took away all the property and shops. To put it bluntly, it was Uncle Zhao's fault.But now that Zhao Chengyu's marriage has been implicated, a mother can't still hold on to her money, she won't let go at all.

Considering Yuan Shi's mood, she spoke very euphemistically.

But Yuan Shi still couldn't bear it, she saw her complexion suddenly changed, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Miss Wei, I am not reconciled!"

Zhao Xiwei put down the teacup and looked at the woman in front of him calmly.

Yuan has always been strong, and rarely shows a fragile look in front of others. Even at this moment, her heart feels like being pierced by thousands of needles, she still clenched her teeth, and said in a hateful voice: "I, Yuan Huiniang, will be strong for most of my life. Why? Being able to fall in the hands of a little widow! I can't bear this loss!"

She held on for a while, but finally lost, her shoulders drooped suddenly, a look of depression and anger appeared on her pale face, and tears filled her eyes instantly.

After all, Zhao Xiwei is not a heartless person, especially because of what happened to his biological mother, he has more or less sympathy for this kind of let down woman: "As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. How about being strong?"

"Miss Wei..." Yuan called out tremblingly, pinching the cup with her fingers, "You are married well, and being held in the palm of a man's hand hurts like a jewel, how do you know my suffering... I After paying so much for the Zhao family, how can you be willing to watch him marry a bride!"

Zhao Xiwei was a little bit taken aback, she never thought that Yuan Shi would show such a fragile side in front of her, so she shook her head and said helplessly: "The fate of husband and wife can't be forced, the lady should take it lightly."

"Underestimate..."

Yuan Shi sneered, and said with red eyes: "Miss Wei, I really envy you. You have suffered a lot in life since you were a child, but now you can be regarded as a success. Your father loves you, your grandmother loves you, and you are the only husband... …On the outside, you don’t have family pressure; on the inside, you don’t have to worry about trivial matters in the house…”

"And me?" She bit her lip, her voice could not conceal the sourness: "I have been married to him for so many years, what has he done? He took my dowry to do business with him, and he didn't return much in the second year of marriage." I am home. I am the only one who manages the housework, raises children, and respects the elderly. After all these years, what have I finally gained—”

She smiled wryly, with endless tiredness and injustice: "A disobedient daughter, a disloyal husband, and a difficult mother-in-law, I have worked so hard for so many years to get these!"

"Tell me, teach me how to be willing?"

My heart is hurting recently, and I don’t dare to stay up late to type anymore... I just took the time to type, and I’m sorry for keeping everyone waiting for a long time.
