Lu Guogong's mansion, in the garden to the east of the inner house.

Although Cheng Yaojin was a military commander, he was actually from a noble family. He was also influenced by poetry and etiquette since he was a child. It's quite elegant.Flowers, plants and trees are well arranged, dotted with rockery pavilions, and a small river runs through the garden. There are several small bridges and promenades on the river, which adds a bit of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

It's a pity that it's early winter now, and most of the flowers, plants and trees in the garden have withered. Although there are servants to clean them from time to time, there are inevitably a few fallen leaves floating on the winding stone path. The lush lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the small river It has been ruined, only the dry stems stick out of the water, exposing the light green river below, it looks so bleak, only the small fish that occasionally swim through the water give the garden in winter Added a bit of anger.

"Tick tock~tick tock~" A line of crystal clear water drops dripped from the promenade above the river, breaking the calm of the water surface and blurring the beautiful figures in the water for a while.

Cui Mengxue was wearing a plain white home dress, leaning on the pillar with her hands hugging her knees by the side of the corridor, looking at her reflection in the water, the tears on her face gathered on her pointed chin along her pure white cheeks, and then drop by drop falling into the clear river water.Capital Datang 180

Ever since the Confucian Daily reported about Mengxue and Li Min, Mrs. Cheng strictly prohibited her from going out to see a doctor. It has been almost half a month now.As for outside matters, Mrs. Cheng strictly forbids the people in the house to discuss in front of Mengxue.But this kind of thing can't be hidden from her anyway, so Mengxue already knows that Li Yin is going to "force" Lu's divorce.And I also know that my aunt and elder brother approached Li Yin before, and I know that they want to use me as a bargaining chip.In exchange for the support of the other party, so as to achieve the purpose of recapturing the chief of the Cui clan.

It's obviously his own marriage, but everyone treats her as an outsider, even the aunt and brother who loves him the most. They only want to use her in exchange for greater benefits, but they never ask her if she agrees or not?Think here.Mengxue couldn't help feeling sad, and couldn't stop crying.

In fact, Mengxue also understands that, as a daughter of an aristocratic family, her own marriage cannot escape the political purpose of marriage.For example, her marriage with Lu Hong was actually a political marriage, because the Qinghe Cui family and the Fan Yang Lu family were originally marriage partners. In order to increase the relationship between the two clans, every year, a daughter of the Cui family married or a daughter of the Lu family married. , and she is just one of them.

Regarding her marriage with Lu Hong, Mengxue actually didn't have much resistance, because she knew since she was a child that her future husband must come from the Lu family or the Zhaojun Li family who have been married to the Qinghe Cui family for generations.This point is well proved by her own sisters, all of them married into these two great families without exception, and because of this, when she knew that her marriage partner was Lu Hong of Fanyang Lu family, she felt very calm , neither happy nor sad, even marriage to her is just a change of place to live, if it is the only thing that is a little worried.I was just afraid that I would no longer be able to practice medicine outside to save people.

But what Mengxue didn't expect was that when she had made all the preparations and was about to marry into Lu's family, her life was broken by Qi Wang Li Yin who was killed halfway. What's even more sad is that if the other party really likes That's all for me, but it was actually just a misunderstanding between the two, and it was only because my eyes were very imaginative with the woman he missed, which led to the subsequent series of things happening.Thinking of this, Mengxue felt a little dumbfounded while hurting herself.

"Ah~!" At this moment, Mengxue suddenly heard a sigh behind her, followed by a very familiar voice, and then a rich lady in palace attire appeared in the reflection in the river.

"Mengxue pays homage to my aunt!" Seeing the lady reflected in the water, Cui Mengxue hurriedly stood up and wiped away the tears from her face, and then saluted gracefully.

The person who came was Mrs. Cheng, but she saw that the tears on Mengxue's face were still wet, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. In addition, Mengxue didn't think about food and drink these days, making her look even more haggard, which made her feel uncomfortable looking at her. feel good.For Mengxue, a niece, Mrs. Cheng loves her very much, not only because she pities her many grievances when she was young, but also because she likes Mengxue's temperament. After all, a little girl has overcome all difficulties to achieve medical skills. Saving countless lives, Madam Cheng, who is also a woman, also feels great admiration, so as Mengxue's close relative and elder, she naturally likes Mengxue from the bottom of her heart.

"Silly girl, why don't you care about your body so much? You are a doctor, so you should know better than me. If you continue like this, you will definitely fall ill!" Mrs. Cheng said, taking out her handkerchief to wipe Mengxue's body. There were tears on her face, but she gently avoided them.

Seeing Mengxue's repulsive reaction towards her, Mrs. Cheng smiled slightly, pulled Mengxue indifferently, and let her sit next to her, then smiled and said: "Why, you are still playing tricks on my aunt." temper?"

Although Mengxue sat down obediently, she bowed her head in silence to Mrs. Cheng's question.Previously, she offered to use herself as a condition in exchange for Li Min's support for her elder brother Cui Yu to fight for the patriarch. It was her aunt, and it was normal for Mengxue to have resentment towards her.

Looking at her niece, Mrs. Cheng pulled Mengxue's hand over her lap, clasped her hands and said earnestly, "Mengxue, I know you blame your aunt, but as Qinghe Cui's daughter, you have to Be prepared for this, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, as long as it is for the benefit of the family, you have to marry without hesitation!"

When she said this, Mrs. Cheng also showed a trace of sadness on her face. Thinking back, she was not a victim of the family marriage?It's just that her fate is good. Although Cheng Yaojin is a military commander, he is still from a noble family, and he has built his own career in the troubled times, and now he ranks high as the Duke of the country.

But thinking about the few sisters who married at the same time as me back then, they were all married to influential figures at the time just like me, but after a "turbulent" world, countless influential figures fell one after another, and they were able to guard their husbands and sons like I am now There are no more than one or two at most, and even many sisters died directly in the troubled times.Thinking of this, the sadness on Madam Cheng's face became even stronger.

Mengxue heard the sadness in her aunt's words, looked up and saw the other person's sad expression, couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, tightly grasped Mrs. Cheng's hands and said, "Auntie, Mengxue doesn't blame you, it's only my fault for being born by mistake. In the Cui family, not only did he kill his father when he was young, but he also caused the death of so many innocent people, so marrying King Qi this time can be regarded as an apology for himself."

"Silly girl, how can you believe those rumors? Your father died of a serious illness, and those people died of the plague. They have nothing to do with you. Don't take everything on yourself!" Mrs. Cheng said angrily Of course, she is not angry with Mengxue, but angry with those people who fabricated rumors back then. After all, it is really unconscionable to blame a natural and man-made disaster such as the plague on a small baby.

"Auntie, let's not talk about these things. Since Mengxue is a daughter of the Cui family, she must consider the interests of the Cui family. Moreover, the eldest brother has been unable to bear it all these years, and even the mother has worked hard for this. If Mengxue If I can help a little, it can be regarded as sharing my mother's worries!" Mengxue sighed and said with a sad face.Although her mother doesn't like her, as a daughter, Mengxue is very filial to her mother, and she also knows that her mother is getting old, and if she bothers about these things, she may hurt her body.

"You girl!" Mrs. Cheng looked at Mengxue's well-behaved appearance, feeling pity and acceptance in her heart, and at the same time, she was a little dissatisfied with her own sister-in-law. She didn't like such a filial and sensible daughter. Makes people angry.

Although Mengxue agreed to marry Li Yin, but looking at her sad face, it was obvious that she was still worried about her own fate.Mrs. Cheng saw the eyes, couldn't help smiling and explained: "Mengxue, you don't need to tell my aunt, you must be able to see that Li Yin is much stronger than that Lu Hong, regardless of character, appearance or character, the two of them The difference is not at 01:30, not to mention your identity. Although a scumbag has indeed wronged you, King Qi has no heirs yet, and the pregnant scumbag is not known to be male or female. If you can help Liu Lang The first one to give birth to a son, then with our Cui clan's strength and your uncle's help, your status in Prince Qi's mansion may not be worse than that concubine daughter of the Lanling Xiao clan!"

Cui Mengxue blushed when she heard her aunt say so bluntly, because she thought of what happened yesterday, what the man said to her was exactly the same as what her aunt said, and it was even more embarrassing.

Mrs. Cheng saw that her niece was a little shy after listening to her story, but she still had a preoccupied look on her face, so she couldn't help but said again: "Mengxue, I also heard what your cousin said about you and King Qi. Yes, even though the misunderstanding was caused by Li Yin's mistaken identity, but our Mengxue is so beautiful and has a cute personality, I don't believe that bastard Li Yin won't be tempted!"

"Aunt, King Qi is not that kind of lustful person, don't think too much about him!" Cui Mengxue couldn't help but defend Li Yin when she heard Mrs. Cheng speculate about Li Yin's character. It wasn't long, and the impression she had of him at the beginning was also very bad, but later she saw that Li Yin gave an ugly girl artificial respiration in order to save someone, which changed Mengxue's impression of him a lot.

Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed to hear her niece defending Li Yin. She probably didn't even realize that her mentality towards Li Yin had changed. gap.

"Mengxue, I almost forgot an important matter. I heard that Concubine Yang called you into the palace yesterday, and you stayed all afternoon. What are you talking about?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered who came today. The main purpose, so I asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
