married daughter

Chapter 137
Han Bin's family has been in the Jingsi Garden for so long, and it was the first time that Ruan Yunting saw her with such a gloomy face. She knew that the matter was not simple, and she didn't say much, so she followed her into the wing of the Jingsi Garden.

When the two arrived in the room, Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Mother Han, what happened?"

Han Bin's house closed the door, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he gave Ruan Yunting a serious look, and then stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation: "Girl, please come inside."

Suspiciously looking at Han Bin's house, Ruan Yunting noticed that something was different, cautiously opened the carved wooden door and walked in.

At that moment, the sky was already dark, and there were no lights in the house, and through the skylight outside the window, she saw a jeweled woman sitting in the middle, Ruan Yunting was taken aback, and exclaimed: "Imperial Concubine?!"

Sitting on the armchair in the middle is the imperial concubine Xu Ningmeng.

"You, didn't you go back to the palace just now?" Ruan Yunting was dumbfounded, she just watched Luan drive away.Why did people arrive at her meditation garden in the blink of an eye?

Concubine Xu Guifei had no expression on her delicately made-up face, and instead of answering Ruan Yunting's question, she glanced at her lightly, with a cold tone, and said slowly: "Ruan Yunting, do you know that you have caused a big deal!" There is no intimacy and gentleness in front of people just now.

My heart skipped a beat, I can't hide what should come!

Just now she has been worried, wanting to know the attitude of the imperial concubine towards Lu Wenshan.But she has not expressed her position, and the old lady has not said anything.She thought that this matter would be over today, but she never thought that the imperial concubine would come to talk to her alone.

Ruan Yunting raised her skirt and knelt on the cold floor, bowed her head and said, "Yes, Ting'er knows."

Concubine Xu Gui narrowed her bright eyes slightly, looking at Ruan Yunting's expression, her expression was still gloomy, her voice did not fluctuate:

"Lv Guogong just pointed at this single seedling to carry on the family line. Now because of you, he has been hurt like this. Objectively speaking, you did nothing wrong in this matter, but it is a fact that it happened because of you. You were by the side when you posted it, and this is also true. Whether the Lu family blamed you, or even the Xu family, is only a matter of thought. Concubine Lu knew about it. If you blow the pillow in front of the emperor, you will think about it yourself I miss your end! How can you bear Lu Guogong's thunderous wrath and the emperor's punishment? When the time comes, you will definitely die!"

The hairs on Ruan Yunting's back stood upright, her eyes drooping and her lips pursed in silence.

Concubine Xu Gui continued: "Besides, the Xu family is a foreign relative, and your second uncle guards the border and holds military power. Even if there is a noble concubine like me in the palace, so what? Aren't you afraid of the royal family? Our life is like walking on thin ice. Everything is done after careful consideration, and we are careful not to allow anything to happen. How did it happen to you to make such a thing happen!"

Ruan Yunting swallowed her saliva.Although Concubine Xu's reprimand was too much, what she said also represented the thoughts of outsiders. Even if Lu Wenshan was not injured by her kick, she would definitely not be able to get rid of the matter.Concubine Lu's vengeance against the Xu family is terrible, if the emperor listens to the concubine's words and finds her a crime of breaking the rules and hurting others, then she will not have enough heads to chop off 1 heads.

And even if the Xu family is a prominent family with hairpin tassels, how could they care about a woman's life for the benefit of the family?No matter how much the old lady loves her, if necessary, she will sacrifice her to calm things down.

No matter how you look at this matter, it is an unmanageable deadlock.

Concubine Xu Guifei looked at Ruan Yunting's expression, and seeing that she was a little scared, she asked: "Ruan Yunting, tell yourself, if this kind of thing really happens, how will the old lady deal with it?"

Pursing her red lips, Ruan Yunting raised her head, her crystal eyes looked directly at Concubine Xu's deep eyes, and said word by word: "Save the family."

"Yes, it is not impossible to protect the family and sacrifice you at that time." Concubine Xu Guifei took a sip of tea when she said this, she expected that Ruan Yunting would rush over and cry after hearing these words Begging her for help.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Looking up, she saw that Ruan Yunting's face was calm, even when she was kneeling, her waist was straight, and she seemed not afraid at all.Concubine Xu Gui was a little surprised, and even annoyed that some things were out of her control.

Ruan Yunting understood clearly, if things were really as Concubine Xu Gui said, she might have been sacrificed directly now, and someone would kindly explain to her why she was sacrificed?

What Xu Guifei said was indeed the worst plan, and it was also very scary, but since ancient times, "coercion and temptation" cannot escape the causal relationship.After talking about scaring her, the imperial concubine should also talk about her purpose of staying here.

Her clear eyes looked at Concubine Xu Gui, which made Concubine Xu feel a little embarrassed.But after all, he is an old man who has been immersed in the palace for many years, his expression remained unchanged, and he said in a cold tone: "Now, there is only one way to save you."

"Please tell your concubine clearly."

"You should know 'Yu Xiusi'?"

Ruan Yunting's heart was shocked, "Yuxiu Division" is a place dedicated to cultivating women for the emperor. In order to ensure the peace of the harem, "Yuxiu Division" has existed since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, and the women selected must be talented Both, but the greater role is also for the emperor to balance the snobbery of the court.The women here only exist because the emperor needs a girl from a certain family to enter the palace.

Different from the three-year draft, the draft candidates enter the palace or become court ladies.And the women cultivated by "Yuxiusi" must be the emperor's concubines, and it is certain that they will be lucky.

Concubine Xu stood up, Ruan Yunting couldn't see her expression in the darkening sky, she just heard her statement in a steady voice: "I entered the 'Yuxiu Division' at the age of 13, entered the palace as a nobleman at the age of 16, and became a concubine at the age of 17. She became a concubine and gave birth to a prince as a concubine at the age of 19. Although the journey was hard, it was all because I studied at Fengxian Academy and was trained by the 'Yuxiu Division'. After entering the 'Yuxiu Division', I knew this You can only be the emperor's woman for the rest of your life. This is a great honor and the highest status for a woman."

Looking at Ruan Yunting, Concubine Xu's voice was a little seductive: "If you can be the emperor's woman, I believe the Lu family will not be able to touch you at all. No matter how much concubine Lu Guifeng blows the pillow, the emperor will never touch a person in name. Your own woman, right? Besides, Concubine Lu Gui is not that stupid, she would go after the emperor's future woman. Ruan Yunting, if you want to save your life, feel proud, and live a life of prosperity and wealth, I can help you."

If Ruan Yunting enters the palace, there is no doubt that it will help the overall interests of the family.My youth is gone, and I can have many favorite helpers, which kills two birds with one stone.If she can't be used by him, it's not too late to clean up.

Concubine Xu Gui sighed and smiled slightly: "What do you think?"

Ruan Yunting's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and she didn't know that her nails were stuck in her palms.It turned out to be like this, after intimidating her, throwing an olive branch at her, whether the imperial concubine looked at her or not, she would be like a man who fell into the water grabbing a driftwood, thanking her a thousand times, begging her to send her to the "Yuxiu Division" "?
If a woman marrying a husband is compared to a career, then in ancient times, the pinnacle of a woman's career was to be the emperor's woman.In the eyes of outsiders, entering the palace to serve the emperor is a supreme honor and a bright future.But to her, it was tantamount to cruelty.

If she entered the palace, she would have no future to speak of.

Seeing her silence for a long time, Concubine Xu Gui didn't force her, she just said: "I'm going back. Tomorrow your eldest aunt will enter the palace to thank you. You have one night to think about it. When you're done thinking about it, send a message to Bengong." " After finishing speaking, Concubine Xu Guifei walked away gracefully, leaving a trail of fragrance of makeup and powder when passing by Ruan Yunting's side.

Behind him, the wooden door creaked open and closed again.

Ruan Yunting was still kneeling, motionless.

Have things really come to this point?It has to be said that what Xu Guifei analyzed was indeed what Ruan Yunting was most afraid of happening.She originally kept some luck, but it turned out that her luck was not so good.If he was really lucky, how could something like that happen to Lu Wenshan?Ever since she met Lu Wenshan, her luck seemed to have run out.

Therefore, things can't be left to chance, and we can only plan for the worst.

But entering the palace and serving that strange man, what happiness is there then?Although she no longer has any hope for ancient men, if she marries an ordinary person, even if she is married into a duke's family, she will have a higher chance of surviving anyway. After entering the palace, it will be a battlefield without gunpowder smoke, and she will eat people without vomiting. where the bones are.Endless dangers and struggles await her.Could it be that the glamor on the surface can really cover up the lingering bloody smell?
She wants to escape.Maybe she can ask Uncle Shui.But who is Uncle Shui?It's just her mother's suitor, it has nothing to do with her, why should she ask him, why should Shui Qiuxin get involved in this matter?After all, if she leaves the protection of the Xu family and goes outside, the Lu family will be able to do whatever they want, and she will be like a clam without its shell, and let others do whatever they want with its soft flesh.

Ruan Yunting fell to the ground.There seemed to be a mess in my mind, should I go to "Yuxiu Division" to bury my future in order to save my life, or should I not go and stay at Xu's house, waiting for the old lady's wishes.

"Squeak-"

The door behind her was pushed open, and footsteps slowly approached her.

Ruan Yunting turned around and looked up, and saw the old lady walking in slowly, came to her side and squatted down, and sat beside her.

For a moment, the lacrimal glands had their own will and squeezed out the liquid uncontrollably.

Ruan Yunting had a sore nose and choked up, "Grandma."

The old lady raised her old hand, stroked Ruan Yunting's forehead, and looked at the wronged and fragile child with pity.No matter how smart and steady she is, she is still just a girl under 13 years old, besides, she is really the most wronged one at this time.

Wiping away Ruan Yunting's tears with her thumb, the old lady seemed to have made up her mind, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of the Lu family and don't go to the 'Yuxiu Division'."

Ruan Yunting was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at the old lady's face, as if she saw hope.

The old lady's hand moved down, reached into Ruan Yunting's arms, and took out something.It was Han Su who gave her the round sapphire pendant with hollowed out bat patterns as a keepsake!
