Concubine's true colors

Chapter 133
After everything was settled, Xiao Jinyu left in a hurry and returned to the mansion. After all, the sooner the matter of Xiao Jinxuan was settled, she could marry into the Hou's mansion earlier. Now her belly has not yet bulged in the past three months of pregnancy, but If it is delayed, it must be noticed by others.

He was talking about Xiao Jinxuan, who was now being missed by Xiao Jinyu, and because of the old lady's punishment yesterday, she was grounded in the Forsythia Courtyard to meditate and repent.

But today's Forsythia Courtyard is Xiao Jinxuan's small world, once the gate is closed, she is said to be punished, but in fact she lives more comfortably than anyone else.

And she, who is rarely free due to the foot restraint, is busy brewing sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the courtyard with Zhu Xin and the others.

After finishing all the sealed wine in the four jars, Xiao Jinxuan held the scented tea in her hand and watched Wen Xin struggling to move the big wine jar, panting and buried it in the cool corner of the courtyard.

When Wen Xin ran back to move the second wine jar, Xiao Jinxuan smiled and held him back, and handed him a cup of tea.

"I usually tell you to eat more meat. Seeing that you are so thin that you don't even have the strength to move the wine jar, please sit down and rest."

At this time, he was holding a broom to clean the bamboo hearts scattered with petals on the ground, and took the opportunity to say sarcastically:
"Miss's words are true. Wen Xin is pretty, but it's just not useful. If sister Chi Ling was here, it would be no problem to raise four jars of wine at a time."

Seeing that Wenxin glared at Zhuxin angrily after hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

"You guys still bicker so much when you meet every day, why don't you learn Baishu, Wenwen is the most reassuring."

Bai Shu, who was putting the useless petals into the bag, blushed when she heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Wen Xin quietly.

"Miss, don't say that. In fact, I am very envious of the vivacious temperament of the two of them. The servant's temperament is too boring, so it's not as good as you said."

The four masters and servants were talking happily, when they suddenly saw the door of Lianqiao Courtyard being pushed open from the outside, and then Mrs. Shen walked in with a worried expression on her face.

When she came close, Shen took a few careful glances at Xiao Jinxuan, and seeing that she was indeed fine, she said with a little reproach:
"You girl, why are you making the old lady unhappy again? Thanks to me, I have been worrying about you all the time, but now that you have been here at ease, I think I should lock you up for a few days to see if you still dare to mess around. gone."

Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly pulled Shen to sit down, and then smiled helplessly.

"Auntie's words wronged me. Grandma doesn't like me. You know that. I'm afraid that even if I'm being cautious, it won't help. Why did you come to my Forsythia Courtyard, Auntie? Yesterday I was banned The door was also locked, could it be that you went to intercede for Jinxuan?"

Shen Shi nodded and said: "Yes, I went to the Taining Courtyard as soon as something happened to you, but the old lady just didn't agree to let you out, so I went to ask the old lady again today. No, but Jinyu came here suddenly and interceded for you, the old lady has always loved her, so she agreed."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled in surprise. When did her first sister take care of her like this? According to the other party's temperament, she probably wished that she would be locked up for a while. How could she be so kind as to intercede for her? .

When things go wrong, there must be a demon. Although Xiao Jinxuan couldn't understand Xiao Jinyu's intentions, she instinctively felt that this matter was not that simple.

But Shen came here for a while, and then Baoge also came, and said that it was Xiao Jinyu's invitation, and Xiao Jinxuan must be invited to Yuxiangyuan for a talk.

Xiao Jinyu is the first sister, and she just pleaded for her in front of the old lady, and Xiao Jinxuan had no reason to refuse, so when she sent Mrs. Shen back to Changxinyuan in person, she took Zhuxin Baishu to Yuxiangyuan rush to.

When I arrived at Yuxiang Courtyard, I saw Xiao Jinyu standing at the door to greet her personally, which had never happened before.

When the two sisters entered the living room, Xiao Jinyu took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, supported each other personally, sat beside her, pointed to the teapot on the table and said:

"I know that my sister likes to drink scented tea, so I specially made a pot of chrysanthemum tea. It's not yet the season of chrysanthemums in full bloom. If I want to drink chrysanthemum tea, I have to wait a month or two. Why don't my sister try the chrysanthemum tea I picked last year?" You like the golden chrysanthemum, if you drink it well, you can take some with you when you leave."

Seeing that Xiao Jinyu had finished speaking, she even poured a cup of golden chrysanthemum tea for her. If she hadn't known that the other party would not dare to attack her in Yuxiangyuan, Xiao Jinxuan would have wondered if this sister-in-law had poisoned the tea, otherwise how could she So kind.

Watching Xiao Jinxuan take the tea, although she didn't speak, she still took a few sips, the smile on Xiao Jinyu's face grew stronger.

"Sister, in fact, my sister came to you today to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. You also know that grandma prefers Huai Anhou to be my husband-in-law, but my sister sees that Qian Yunhong really likes you, so where is it?" I can't bear to beat the mandarin ducks, so I came up with a good idea to get the best of both worlds, so I was in a hurry to tell you."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was drinking tea with her head down, couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard the words. She knew that Xiao Jinyu would not be so attentive for no reason, and there really was something tricky about it.

The expression on her face remained the same, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head, and asked with a smile: "My sister may wish to speak directly, if there is really a way to have the best of both worlds, Jinxuan will naturally be happy to do so."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's words were very polite, Xiao Jinyu was secretly delighted, thinking that what she planned today might have something to do with it, so she immediately said with a smile:
"Sister, look, we are half-sisters of the same father. If we marry and have children in the future, we will never see each other in this life. But if we marry the same husband, we will complement each other and never be separated. Isn’t that a beautiful thing.”

Xiao Jinxuan picked it up when she heard that she was beautiful, and then looked at Xiao Jinyu with a half-smile.

"I also understand what sister-in-law means. It's nothing more than wanting to serve her husband like Queen E, but you are my eldest sister, and you are also a concubine. I asked you to marry Jinxuan as a concubine. It's really unbearable to call my sister."

Xiao Jinyu, who was still smiling all over her face, froze completely when she heard this. After a while, she said in amazement:
"Xiao Jinxuan, what are you talking about? How can I, Xiao Jinyu, give you a dowry and want to make me a concubine in the house? How dare you say such arrogant things like a concubine? Stop wishful thinking."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was smiling slightly at the corner of her mouth, now had a cold expression, and looked at Xiao Jinyu with ironic eyes.

"Sister, why am I just wishful thinking? My sister seems to have forgotten. Yesterday Qian Yunhong came to the mansion to ask for marriage. He kept saying that he would marry me, Xiao Jinxuan, as his wife. Now my sister wants to serve her husband with my sister. The position of wife is already my sister." That’s right, what else can you ask for if you’re not a concubine.”

Seeing Xiao Jinyu's face turned pale from anger, Xiao Jinxuan immediately put on a look of sudden realization, and continued to mockingly say:

"By the way, look at my sister's memory. Above the concubines, there are noble concubines, and above the noble concubines, there are equal wives. The first sister has a noble status, but Marquis Marquis will not be so absurd to marry at the same time. The two wives come in, and in that case, the younger sister will be the master and promise the position of noble concubine to the elder sister. As you said just now, we are sisters who must complement each other, so the first sister must not refuse, this is the younger sister a lot of thought."

Xiao Jinyu, who was sitting by the side, was already trembling with anger, and the hypocrisy she had just put on just now was difficult to maintain.

"Xiao Jinxuan, I talked nicely to you, but you are so ignorant of flattery. As expected, a concubine is not on the stage. Since you don't want to give you face, then don't blame my sister for being rude. After I report it to my grandmother , when the time comes, you have to marry if you marry, or you have to marry if you don’t."

Xiao Jinxuan drank the last sip of Chrysanthemum tea in the cup, then stood up calmly and looked at Xiao Jinyu contemptuously.

"My sister can go if she wants to. Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you move out of your grandmother. If you want me to be your dowry, don't even think about it in this life."

Thinking of her previous life, she was Xiao Jinyu's substitute marriage once, but Ji Lingfeng took her life as a responsibility, and finally died tragically at the hands of this pair of dogs.

Now that she was reborn, this sister-in-law actually wants her to be a dowry again, but she is not the weak concubine daughter she was before. Even if the old lady speaks, if Xiao Jinxuan is unwilling, no one can force her to submit.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jinxuan was too lazy to waste time with Xiao Jinyu, turned around and left Yuxiangyuan.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Xiao Jinyu who was standing in the living room only felt his blood surge up, and he almost didn't faint from the anger directly.

But it doesn't matter if she is so angry, her stomach immediately turned upside down, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help retching, and when she recovered from the discomfort, she immediately gritted her teeth and said:

"Baoge supports me. Let's go to Taining Courtyard to find my grandmother right away. Now that I'm dragging down, I have to reveal my secrets. It seems that I must ask my grandmother to help me."

After making up her mind, Xiao Jinyu rushed to Taining Court without delay.

She has always been the old lady's favorite, so she can go in directly without passing it on.

Therefore, when Xiao Jinyu entered the room, she found that the old lady was taking a nap, but now that she was busy with other things, she couldn't care less. When she came to the couch, she shook the old lady's arm and cried softly:
"Grandmother, wake up, Yu'er has something to ask you to decide, otherwise Yu'er will not be able to live, please wake up."

When people get old, their sleep is very shallow. Even if the old lady drank calming tea, it is difficult not to wake up after being shaken by Xiao Jinyu like this.

After seeing clearly that it was Xiao Jinyu, the old lady's eyes flashed strangely, but she was still supported to sit up.

"You're here, Yu'er. Don't cry. Grandma is here for whatever happens. You don't have to worry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyu cried even harder, and said sobbingly:
"Grandmother, my granddaughter feels wronged. I saw you in a dilemma about my marriage yesterday, and Jinxuan was fined and grounded by you because of this. My granddaughter loves you and pities sister Jinxuan, so I thought of a way to achieve both. I asked Jinxuan to be my dowry, and then they were carried into the Huai'an Marquis Mansion together. After all, it is common for us to marry a concubine, but Jinxuan not only refused to agree, but also humiliated me with words. You must be the master for Yuer."

The old lady who always saw Xiao Jinyu crying would rush to comfort her, but this time she just watched Xiao Jinyu cry quietly, and after a long silence, she said in a low voice:

"Yu'er, Qian Yunhong said yesterday that he is not the one you want to marry, but now you still insist on marrying him, even at the expense of your sisters serving a husband together. Can you tell grandma the reason for doing this?"

Xiao Jinyu, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, was taken aback when she heard the words, and raised her head to look at the old lady in a daze, but she didn't know how to answer.

But at this moment, the old lady sighed and closed her eyes with a sad face.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, I have cherished you as a treasure since I was a child. Are you still unwilling to tell the truth to your grandmother? You really think that after you give a hundred taels of gold to Dr. Sun, he will be able to do it for you." You can't keep your mouth shut, the evil seed in your stomach is Qian Yunhong's child, if you don't tell the truth, even grandma can't help you."
