Chapter 71

No matter how lively and exciting a play is, there will be a time when the curtain ends, and after the prosperity, it will naturally return to ashes.

Su Qinwan sat down on the concubine Xiang's couch she was familiar with in Ningcui Pavilion in a refreshed body, and not far behind her was Chunqian deftly arranging the bedding with the sound of 'poof'.

"Wanyi, drink up the medicine and go to rest earlier!" Liu Shuang walked in holding the medicine bowl and said in a low voice.

Su Qinwan gave an 'um', took it obediently, and drank it all after a few 'gululu'.On such a night, Fourth Miss Xu was injured again, the emperor would never come to look for her again.In addition, she really felt exhausted and panicked, she just wanted to lie comfortably on the bed, empty her head, don't think about anything anymore, and it's not her turn to think about it.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Hongyou listened expressionlessly to Zhou Yuan's report of what happened in Renkang Palace during the day.

"Because it was a festive day, the imperial concubine did not dare to alarm the emperor, so she ordered people to suppress the news at the moment when the incident happened, while the concubine Shu immediately invited the imperial doctor to heal Miss Xu Si's injuries. According to her subordinates, Yes, Fourth Miss Xu is seriously injured, I'm afraid her appearance will be damaged."

Zhao Hongyou's eyes were calm and unmoved, he couldn't see any emotion, he just kept rubbing the ring on his hand, and asked after a long time, "Did you catch that hurtful beast? But you can find out why it attacked people."

"It has been caught, and now it is locked in a cage waiting for the emperor to show it!" Zhou Yuan said with a bow.

"Send someone to invite the king's court to judge, remember not to alarm others, let him see if there is something wrong with that animal, I don't believe that in the clear sky, this cat will jump out and hurt people for no reason! " Zhao Hongyou sneered.

After a while, he asked again, "Which one did you say saved Yu Wanyi?"

"It's the wife of Master Du, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple!"

Du Bingshan?Zhao Hongyou was somewhat surprised.

"I only remember Du Bingshan's first wife who came from a farming family. Could it be her? But I don't know what kind of person it is?" He frowned and asked.

"It's this lady! As far as I know, this lady Du was married when Mrs. Du was a little cold. After Mrs. Du was in high school, there were also rich and noble families who wanted to marry their daughters, but he said, "A wife of dross is not a wife." Mrs. Du took the post of a seven-rank county magistrate, and this Mrs. Du followed her husband for a period of time, but later returned to her hometown alone to serve her in-laws. In recent years, Mrs. Du's inner house has been done by her daughter The husband and wife were not reunited until last year." After learning that Mrs. Du had saved Yu Wanyi, Zhou Yuan ordered someone to investigate her background, just to prevent the emperor from asking such questions.

"She is a filial daughter-in-law!" Zhao Hongyou nodded in approval.

At this time, in the prime minister's mansion, Xu Yunfang, the fourth lady of the Xu family who had returned from the palace, sat on the head of the bed numbly, letting her biological mother, Aunt Gao, hug her and cry bitterly.

"My poor fourth young lady, how did she become like this? Which bastard who kills thousands of knives is so vicious, don't let me know, even if I risk my life, I will never spare him!" Aunt Gao said again It was distressed and resentful that he wanted to reach out to caress the wound on her face, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he stopped his movements, his eyes were full of tears, and he bit his lips tightly.

"Can't she be spared? My aunt said it nicely, I'm afraid that she is not something we can easily touch now..." After a long time, Xu Yunfang said quietly.

"What do you mean by that? Do, do you know who hurt you?" Aunt Gao was taken aback.

"In that palace, who do you think will hate me so much, wishing to destroy everything about me?"

Aunt Gao shuddered, her face turned as white as paper, she said with trembling lips, "Shu, Concubine Shu?"

Xu Yunfang stopped talking, and closed her eyes to cover up all the emotions inside.

"No, no, why would she do this? If you marry Prince Jing, it will be good for her. How can she not be happy about such a win-win situation? No Yes... Maybe, maybe it's the Duke of Yan's mansion, yes, yes, only the Duke of Yan's mansion is so afraid that our family will be over their heads. Concubine Shu probably wouldn't do that, no ..." After speaking, she became more and more uncertain, and after a long time, she got up abruptly and was about to go out, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to find Mr. Xiang, and I must let Xu Yunlan's little hoof..."

"Come back!" Xu Yunfang sternly stopped her in her footsteps, her face was ashen, and she lowered her voice, "What is Auntie going to do? What are you going to do with your father? How can he believe your one-sided words without evidence? Now that She is a respectable lady in the palace, how can you and I can compare..."

"Then, then we have to swallow this loss? That's your whole life! How important a woman's appearance is..." Aunt Gao burst into tears.She is a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and jade, but after entering the palace, her appearance is changed when she comes back. How can a woman with damaged appearance find any good marriage, her whole life has been ruined like this!
Xu Yunfang forced herself to suppress the overwhelming resentment and intense grief in her heart, held her biological mother's hand in one hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Auntie, one day my daughter will definitely avenge her!"

"Yes!" Aunt Gao wiped her tears and said calmly, "She is only a Concubine Shu now, and it is not known whether she will be able to take the back seat in the future. Now the childless one in the main courtyard, everything in this mansion will belong to your elder brother sooner or later. At that time, I will see how long she can be proud of a woman who has no support from her natal family and can't give birth to children!"

"Auntie is right, if you can't bear it, you can make big plans. My life is ruined. How can she live a prosperous and glorious life? Since we are sisters, we can't have such a different situation. So, God is too unfair..." Xu Yunfang said softly, and her voice became lower and lower, as if she was talking to herself.
