The farmer has a mall

Chapter 303

Ding Shangshu looked calm, looked at the emotionally agitated daughter in front of him, and said slowly: "Your mother has come to this point because of you, if you want her to return to Ding's house, learn the rules and treat you well. I will bring her back if I fulfill what the fourth prince said about the nine concubines' gynecology."

After all, Ding Shangshu left without looking back, leaving only Ding Mowei standing there blankly.

Seeing her haggard-looking mother who barely had a grain of rice, and her married sister's disapproving gaze, Ding Mowei finally gave in.

Ding Shangshu used double the monthly money to invite back the previous teaching nun.

This time, Ding Mowei cooperated very well, letting her do whatever she wanted, being manipulated like a puppet, which made the nanny look a little better, and occasionally praised her to the outside world.

Ding Mowei's reputation gradually improved, and Ding Shangshu was very satisfied. Although he didn't tear up the divorce letter, he took Mrs. Ding back to the private hospital in the mansion to recuperate.

Mrs. Ding's health recovered immediately, because part of her heart knot was untied, and it only took a few days for her to get up and walk from being bedridden.

Ding Mowei was very happy and ran to visit her mother.

Seeing that her daughter's eyes were dull, not as lively as before, Mrs. Ding felt distressed, but at the same time she could only persuade her to learn from the nanny, so as not to disappoint her father's expectations.

Coming out of mother's room, Ding Mowei's eyes seemed to be more dull, as if covered with a layer of fog, gray.

She learned the rules from the nanny without any resistance during the day, and she didn't dare to complain when she returned to the house at night, she would only cover herself in the quilt and cry secretly.

Half a year later, the teaching mother who was very satisfied with her "work" quit her job, but Ding Mowei did not relax because of her departure.

Because of that mother's intentional dissemination, her reputation of being respectful and virtuous spread throughout the capital, and her words and deeds became more cautious.

When the news came that she was about to enter the palace, Ding Shangshu tore up the divorce letter in front of her.

That day, she drank alcohol for the first time and was very drunk.

The news of her being drunk reached Ding Shangshu's ears in the early morning of the second day.

Hearing his father's disapproving reprimand, and the informant maid standing aside, a cloud of gloom floated over Ding Mowei's heart.

That night, the maidservant was carried out of her room covered in blood and had no breath.

Ding Mowei, who thought she was going to be reprimanded again, waited nervously, but what she got was her father's satisfactory praise.

"The harem is a place of intrigue. My son can be ruthless to get rid of the disaster. I am very comforted for my father."

"It's just that if you do this kind of thing in the future, you must arrange it carefully. Don't be so reckless as this time, so that people can find out the clues."

A room full of people retreated, Ding Mowei looked at her blood-stained hands, and felt a sense of joy in her heart, as if the depression during the day had dissipated.

Thinking of her father's approving gaze, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

From that day on, from time to time, some servants would carry out the dead bodies from the back door of the Ding Mansion in the middle of the night, or throw them into the mass grave, or find a place to bury them until Ding Mowei entered the palace.

Facing the mad-looking Concubine Xian, Emperor Anyang was speechless for a while.

He didn't know that one of his unintentional words turned a little girl who was originally kind and loves to fight against injustices into such a cruel woman who treats human life like nothing.

He rubbed his forehead, with a look of fatigue on his face, he raised his hand and waved away the crowd.

Gu Nanyan, who had already returned to Weiyang Palace, did not know what happened next.

All I know is that night Ding Shangshu entered the imperial study, and an hour later, Concubine Xian Gui was robbed of her position as a noble concubine and taken to the cold palace.

The news of the concubine's murder by the noble concubine spread, and Ding Shangshu was demoted to be a servant because he was not good at teaching his daughter.

After Gu Nanyan found out, she sat in the bedroom for a long time before going to Yushu Palace alone.

It seemed that she was expected to come over early in the morning. There was only Concubine Wan in the room, and scented tea was placed on the table emitting steam.

Seeing her come in, Concubine Wan smiled gently, poured her a cup of tea herself, and raised her hand to signal her to sit down.

Gu Nanyan didn't hesitate, lifted her robe and sat opposite her, looking at her calmly for a while.

"Is it worth taking such a risk?" She asked lightly.

Concubine Wan hooked the corners of her lips, and gave a wry smile: "Princess is smart, I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you, but I don't know when you found out?"

"The day you go to Weiyang Palace." Gu Nanyan said concisely.

Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Yes, I have forgotten about myself, the princess is proficient in medical skills, and can even cure the poison of His Royal Highness, how can I not see that there is something wrong with that cake."

She laughed at herself: "How clever I am when I think of myself, but I don't know that I have already been noticed."

Gu Nanyan didn't make a sound, fiddled with the teacup with lowered eyes but didn't take a sip.

"If the princess has anything to say, just ask." Concubine Wan said with a gentle smile.

Gu Nanyan looked up, seeing that she wasn't panicked at all, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the story?"

As early as the day of the autumnal equinox, when she brought out the flower cakes in the food box, she realized something was wrong.

Oleander is not a rare plant in modern times. She has learned how to survive in the wild and can tell it apart, but what puzzles her is Concubine Wan's attitude that day.

Ordinary people cook and cook food by themselves, and they hope that others will taste it, so as to get the recognition of their cooking skills from those who taste it.

But Concubine Wan didn't mention the flower cake, and put it in front of her, and then she kept praising Gu Nanyan's craftsmanship.

Fu Lin was about to change his teeth. Normally, he was only asked to taste one piece before stopping, but that day he ate four or five pieces in a row, and his belly was full, but Wanfei didn't stop him.

When he was full, he brought up the flower cakes he had made so hard. Seeing Fu Lin reaching for them, he not only snatched them away, but also wiped his hands carefully.

Even when Gu Nanyan wanted to take a piece, he was refused on the grounds that he put the wrong seasoning.

That day, only she ate the cake by herself.

Concubine Wan didn't answer her question: "Princess, do you know how the concubine got the favor of the Holy One?"

Although Gu Nanyan was only 15 years old and unmarried, she didn't shy away from asking this question at all, and didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead she looked at her with a light smile.

Gu Nanyan tilted her head, remembering the rumors in the harem: "Probably...pretending to be Empress Wei?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wan was stunned again, and then she burst out laughing.

"The princess and the empress are really similar, and they speak so sharply."

She nodded slowly: "Yes, it was indeed the concubine who deliberately pretended to be a queen that day to attract His Majesty's favor."

After she said that, she stood up, walked to the window, looked out the window with no leaves on the dead branches, and said softly: "I come from a farming family, and there are five brothers and sisters in my family, and I am the youngest."

"When my mother was pregnant with me, there was a famine in the village. The family was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot. The whole family lived on a small handful of wild vegetables every day. They almost starved to death. After I was born, the situation became worse. My mother couldn't eat enough and had no milk. It can let me drink some wild vegetable soup to survive, but a newborn child can't survive by drinking this."

Seeing that the infant daughter was crying from hunger, she became weak day by day, and later she couldn't even cry.

Her mother was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do, and the whole family was frowning.

Her father was even prepared that she would not be able to support her, so he went up the mountain to cut some wooden stakes with his weak body, and made a small coffin for her.

Maybe it was because she deserved to die, but just when everyone thought she was going to die, a well-dressed couple came to the house.

The couple ran a grocery store in the town, and they were living a relatively well-to-do life. It was just that they had been married for many years but had no children, so they wanted to adopt a child, and they made inquiries along the way.

The mother is naturally reluctant to let her own flesh and blood be taken away by a stranger.

But firstly, he had no milk, so he couldn’t support the child at all. Secondly, the couple seemed to like the child very much, and the price they offered was reasonable. With this money, they might be able to survive the famine.

In desperation, she had to bid farewell to her little daughter in tears.
