Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 77

It was very quiet along the way, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling on the road could be heard.When the carriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion, it was completely dark.Red lanterns were hung outside the gates of the mansions along the way.The Duke's Mansion was naturally no exception. Tianxiang got off the carriage, and immediately saw the pair of bright red lanterns outside the gate of the mansion.

When we reached the gate of the mansion, a servant girl and a woman greeted me, respectfully blessed Fushen and said: "Missy is finally back, the old lady is still talking about it. The maidservant obeys the order of the old lady, please give me a hand!" When we return home, we will go to Songhe Tower."

Qi Tianxiang was already prepared, she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.Now she has rested for an hour and a half, and she spends a lot of time spending time with the old man in the world.What's more, the old matriarch was just trying to find out if the imperial concubine wanted to make her marry His Royal Highness Xuan Wang.It's a pity that Tianxiang herself has no intention of marrying into the royal family.

After entering the Songhe Tower, I heard voices inside.Tianxiang's heart moved, it seems that today these people will not give up until they achieve their goals, and the old lady and father are not the only ones among them.Pursing her lips and smiling, Tianxiang raised her head and stepped over the threshold, and at a glance, several masters in the mansion were indeed gathered together.

"Tianxiang salutes grandma, father, and all the aunts!" Qi Tianxiang sneered, stepped forward and gave a slight salute, then glanced at the younger sisters and said, "Sisters are also polite!"

"Xiang'er, you child, why should the whole family be so polite!" The old lady hurriedly said, with a benevolent look on her face, and said, "Get up, and sit by grandma's side!" Under the bright lights, Mrs. Qi's benevolent smile has nothing to do with charity, but only deep calculations and expectations.

"Yes, Xiang'er, thank you for your grandmother's love!" Tian Xiang got up gracefully, walked over, and sat beside the old lady.Then he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, with an obedient and honest appearance, and didn't mention anything about entering the palace today.

Finally, the old matriarch couldn't bear it anymore, and asked first: "Xiang'er left the mansion early this morning, and entered the palace under the orders of the concubine Rufei, how is it? What did the concubine Rufei say to you? "After all, it is about Tianxiang's boudoir reputation, no matter how anxious Qi Zhongqing is as a father, she is too embarrassed to ask.Therefore, among these few people, the old lady can only ask.

Qi Tianxiang sneered even more in his heart, but maintained an indifferent and calm look on his face, and said with a smile: "If you go back to your grandmother, today the concubine Xuan Xiang'er entered the palace. Ge Fu. The empress said that at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Xiang'er was famous in the capital and enjoyed the reputation of a talented woman in the capital, so she wanted to compete with Xiang'er for a long time."

Speaking of this, Tianxiang paused on purpose, and saw that her concubine sisters all showed a hint of contempt and unwillingness at the same time.With a chuckle, Tianxiang continued: "It's just that when Princess Xuanran came back from school, the empress stayed with Xianger to have dinner with her. Princess Xuanran was talented and cute, so Xianger stayed to play with the princess for a while before returning home late."

Tianxiang deliberately did not mention King Xuan, King Yan, and Luo Tianqi, the three who joined later.Since they hope so much that they have something to do with the royal family, Tianxiang chooses the opposite way to avoid getting involved with members of the royal family.

Sure enough, after hearing Tianxiang's words, the disappointment and unwillingness on the old lady's face disappeared in a flash.However, she didn't show any displeasure, but still said kindly: "That's good, grandma is just worried about you. The empresses in the palace, after all, have a bad temper, and you may offend them if you are not careful. Grandmother will be relieved to be able to escape unscathed."

Tianxiang was disdainful in her heart, but said humbly on her face: "Yes, grandma's concern Xiang'er is frightening, grandma should think less, think less, and take care of her body more!"

"Call!" Ji, who was sitting at the bottom suddenly, sneered, and said with contempt and contempt on his face: "I said that the concubine is a first-class concubine, why does she favor our eldest lady so much! I didn't think about it before, they just want to learn skills and have fun for nothing, don't let us misunderstand!"

Qi Zhongqing's original enthusiasm and good hopes fell through, and he was not very happy in his heart.Hearing Ji's sarcasm now, he immediately became angry, stared at him fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Ignorant and stupid woman, mother and Xiang'er are talking, how can you interrupt? Why don't you hurry up?" Shut up!"

When Ji heard this, her heart burst into anger, this Qi Zhongqing didn't give her face in front of everyone.Especially when I saw Qi Zhongqing's cold eyes, I was startled, immediately covered my face, pretended to cry and said: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I'm just talking about the facts and telling the truth! In this way, I was wrong too. Can't it?"

"During this period of time, rumors and rumors have been flying around the house, and I can't bear to listen to those ugly words. Master, don't you hear the rumors at all, don't you care at all? The eldest lady is us The eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, now because of her frivolous behavior, she has discredited the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She can't get married by herself, so is it going to implicate a few younger sisters from getting married?"

The corners of Qi Tianxiang's lips curled up upon hearing the words, Ji's could be said to have broken his wishful thinking.If Tianxiang is right, Qi Zhongqing is one of the people who fueled those rumors.He made up his mind to muddy the water and entangle himself with His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, then the fake will become true by then!

It's just that Aunt Ji is ignorant of current affairs, but she ridiculed Tianxiang after all.Tianxiang didn't like Ji's cunning and tricky woman at all, she just didn't have a smart head, but she just yelled twice if she opened her mouth for no reason.This point is really hateful, Tianxiang doesn't intend to forgive her easily.

"Aunt Ji herself knows that those are just gossips and crazy words. Then why do you still believe in them blindly? She even insulted Xiang'er. In Aunt Ji's eyes, those crazy words are worse than Tianxiang's words. Believe it? How can you say that Tianxiang and Aunt Ji are both members of the Duke's Mansion, yet Auntie has no regard for the family relationship and humiliates me like this!"

"After all, Tianxiang is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. What's more, when His Royal Highness Xuan came that day, Xiang'er and his father entertained the prince together. My aunt made indiscriminate remarks and satirized Xiang'er without evidence. This is what a family should do." Is it because Tianxiang lost her mother since she was young, and without her mother's love, her aunt is so arrogant and cruel to her child who has no mother's love? Wuwu, Tianxiang is really chilling—"

After finishing speaking, Tianxiang looked away, took up the handkerchief to cover her face and sobbed.

When the old lady heard the words, she immediately turned ruthless, and glared at Mrs. Ji fiercely.On the psychological side, that angry and depressed woman, this stupid woman is a stupid woman who has done more than fail!Her mouth is especially hateful, it is a gossip!Apart from telling stories, this woman has never done anything pleasing when she entered the mansion.

No wonder she has been in the mansion for so many years, but she has never moved her son's heart!This ignorant stupid woman just likes to be ignorant of current affairs, and always likes to be unforgiving. How many good things have been ruined by that stinky mouth!

Ji Shi just didn't realize it, and couldn't hear the deterrence hidden in Qi Zhongqing's words, or the hint in the eyes of the old matriarch.Hearing Tianxiang's words, he immediately snorted, and said in a neutral tone: "The so-called rumors are not groundless. If you want others to keep silent, you can't do it yourself! If the eldest lady is really dignified, why are there so many rumors?" Rumors spread?"

"Furthermore, those rumors and gossips did not come from my mouth, and I just heard them. It's just that I, as the eldest lady's aunt, always teach the eldest lady. Even if the eldest lady meets privately with the outsider, After all, you have to find a hidden place, how can you openly meet in your own boudoir? Miss, you must remember the lesson of this time and take it as a warning!"

Qi Zhongqing was originally unwilling to pursue Ji Shi, but Ji Shi didn't know how to flatter her, so she rushed to bump into her again and again.Especially the words she said out of that broken mouth became more and more ugly.The arrogance also became more and more arrogant, my precious Xiang'er was a prostitute after all, how dare she, an aunt, be so stubborn!Especially seeing Tianxiang's mouth flattened, as if she had been wronged by the sky, Qi Zhongqing immediately became furious.

"You ignorant stupid woman, shut up!" Qi Zhongqing panted violently, pointing at Ji and shouting: "Everyone knows what happened that day! Besides, Xiang'er said it, that day When His Royal Highness Xuan came, it was me and Xiang'er who entertained the prince for dinner."

"Not only did you not think about the people in the house, you helped Xiang'er to defend, and I didn't force you. But you, a vicious and stupid woman, accuse and ridicule Xiang'er every word, and you are used to making troubles and gossiping! I doubt it, Are those rumors the rumors you let out! Otherwise, how would outsiders know that King Xuan came to the Duke’s mansion and was still eating in Xiang’er’s courtyard?”

"Master, you can't wrong me like this! I didn't do this, you can't just say nothing!" When Ji Shi saw Qi Zhongqing, he was really angry, and faintly wanted to lose his temper.Immediately weakened the momentum just now, turned to the old lady for help: "Old lady, I didn't do it, you have to make the decision for me!"

The old lady was already angry, but she just held back.Now that I heard my son's guesses, I thought to myself that there is finally a candidate who is expected to become the prince and princess, but the reputation of the Ji family has been ruined!Although it is not ruled out that his son is contributing to the flames, but Ji's swear words are so nasty, the old lady is in a hurry and doesn't bother to pay attention to Ji, let her son punish her!

Qi Zhongqing pointed at Mrs. Ji angrily, and said angrily: "Come here, pull down this wicked woman who is telling stories and ruining the reputation of the daughter of the Duke's family behind her back, and beat her with thirty army sticks!" Qi Zhongqing is real Angry, he originally planned to use this opportunity to spread rumors that King Xuan was in love with Xiang'er, but now it turned into rumors that Xiang'er didn't follow the etiquette and privately met with foreign men, how could he not be angry?
"Let go!" Ji's face was reconciled, and she waved her hand at the rough envoy who rushed in and held her, and shouted, "I don't accept it, I am wronged! Master—Master, you can't do this Send me off!" It's just that Ji's strength alone is limited, and he was quickly dragged down by the women.

Only then did Qi Tianbi realize that her mother was about to be beaten.Finally, he couldn't bear the naive look on his face, and with panic and anxiety on his face, he rushed over and grabbed Qi Zhongqing's sleeve, crying and said: "Daddy—please don't punish Auntie! Auntie is just talkative, she said something wrong, and she didn't mean anything malicious. Daddy, my daughter begs you to spare Auntie this time!"

Qi Zhongqing was very angry, now that she was furious, how could she listen to her daughter's words?With a wave of his hand, he shook off Qi Tianbi's hand, pointed at her and reprimanded angrily: "You are used to covering for your aunt, she is unreasonable and ungrateful, and she keeps talking and ruining your first sister's reputation, is this called saying something wrong? ?”

"What's more, she has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she is used to gossip and gossip to ruin people's reputation. Hmph, such vicious thoughts and vicious words should have been punished long ago! Since your aunt has never repented and hastened Confronting her as a father, if her father doesn't show her some seriousness, she may not have a long memory and continue to be so ignorant and vicious!"
