Concubine's true colors

Chapter 242

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan asking himself about the matter of the old lady of the Bai family, Jin Chuan also knew that the other party was about to go to the Taining Academy, so if he could learn more about the other party's details, he might be able to deal with it better.

Immediately, I saw Jin Chuan leading Xiao Jinxuan in the light of the premise, and slowly talked about everything she knew about the old lady.

And after Jin Chuan's introduction, Xiao Jinxuan was surprised to know that the old lady of the Bai family really had an extraordinary background.

Due to the meritorious service of the Duke of Huaguo in the past, all the heirs of the Bai family who inherited the dukedom of the country in each generation married princesses of the royal family.

And this old Mrs. Bai is the first wife of the deceased old Duke of the previous generation, and she was also born as a princess.

But the most unusual thing is that this old matriarch was a princess born in the past. In layman's terms, that is the daughter born to the queen.

Emperor Ming's grandpa is the father of the old matriarch, and she is the concubine born to the empress, even if the emperor sees her, he has to respectfully address her as Huanggu. A child of the royal family of Zhou Xianrui's generation, then They are all grandchildren of the old lady.

Putting this level of status in front of others, the old matriarch's confidence is naturally strong, and this is the fundamental reason why she dared to take the lead in the commander's mansion even though she was a guest.

Because in the eyes of this old lady who was born as a former concubine, all the civil and military officials of this Great Zhou were all servants of her Zhou family.

Perhaps in the heart of the old matriarch, she may still feel that it is the Xiao family's blessing that she can temporarily live in the handsome mansion.

And after Jin Chuan had clearly introduced the old matriarch's background, the Taining Court had already arrived.

But before going in, Jin Chuan held Xiao Jinxuan, and thought about it for a while, and then added:

"Miss Jinxuan, the youngest daughter of this old lady is your father's first wife. She died unfortunately when she gave birth to Miss Jinyu, so the old lady has always treated Miss Jinyu who lost her mother when she was young. It is love and affection, so you must be careful to deal with it, the other party may deliberately make things difficult for you."

She nodded gratefully towards Jinchuan, because Xiao Jinxuan did not have a deep relationship with the Bai family in her previous life, so apart from knowing that Huaguo's mansion is extremely powerful and the old lady Bai is very honorable, she really doesn't know much about it.

Now that Jin Chuan made a point, she knew it well enough to deal with it without panicking. Looking at the brightly lit main room, Xiao Jinxuan's expression froze, she opened the curtain and walked in directly.

And almost as soon as she entered the room, before she had time to say hello, Aunt Li, who had been slapped badly just now, knelt down on the ground, and walked up to a silver-haired man who was sitting in the first place. in front of the old woman, and then cried loudly:
"Old Madam, you must be the master of your servant. It is this dead girl who ordered someone to slap your servant's mouth. I am the person next to you. Even if your servant is wrong, if you beat me, it will be your old cock. For the sake of face, it’s okay for the slaves to suffer a little bit, but you don’t deserve this humiliation.”

For Aunt Li's accusation, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even look at her. Now all her eyes are focused on Xiao Jinyu, who is the first person in the room, who is dressed in white and is sitting softly there.

After a few months, this sister-in-law who loved to dress solemnly and cumbersomely in the past, now has a black silk shawl and plain clothes. If it wasn't for Xiao Jinxuan, she wouldn't have admitted the other party. She would have thought that the one sitting there was always Xi Xi What about the second aunt Shen who Jing prefers plain clothes.

As if feeling Xiao Jinxuan's gaze, Xiao Jinyu, who was nodding his head slightly, also gracefully raised his head to look at the other party, and behind Shaoqing, he showed a trace of an innocent smile.

Xiao Jinyu was already stunningly beautiful, but when she was wearing bright and colorful clothes, she was compared to a banishing immortal.

But now the other party's back-to-basics dress really seems to be giving birth to a fairy, especially when she smiles lightly, she is as untainted as the Nine Heavens Xuannv, full of aura.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was still looking at her coldly, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help saying softly like a nightingale:
"Sister, I haven't seen you in a few months, but you are safe and sound. Originally, my sister has already worshiped the Buddha devoutly, and she doesn't want to ask about the right and wrong, but after all, my grandmother came to accompany me in the house, and Aunt Li is her servant by her side. , now that my sister just came back, she gave him a severe beating. If she can't explain the reason, it's too much. My sister, you have a murderous temper, you really need to change it. "

Looking at Xiao Jinyu's compassionate look, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help sneering in her heart.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Xiao Jinxuan didn't believe it. The few months of suffering in Bieyuan could really change Xiao Jinyu's jealous and arrogant temperament. In her opinion, the other party was just acting.

After all, Xiao Jinyu was unmarried and pregnant before, and was told by Qian Yunhong in front of the handsome mansion. Although the old lady forcibly suppressed the matter afterwards, the other party's reputation was really bad. The elegant title of immortal has been reduced to a big joke.

Therefore, if the other party wants to clean himself up and restore his reputation as much as possible, it is naturally the most beneficial choice for Xiao Jinyu now to worship the Buddha and enlighten the Tao, and create a misty image of a fairy.

And if the other party really sees through the world, then Xiao Jinyu should live in the quiet garden, instead of rushing back to the handsome mansion.

Especially what the other party said just now, it seemed that they were seeking justice for Aunt Li from the perspective of an outsider.

But now Xiao Jinxuan didn't say a word except Aunt Li's crying and crying, and Xiao Jinyu arbitrarily decided that the fault was all on this concubine.

No matter how Zen-like her voice was when she spoke, the true malicious thoughts in her heart still couldn't be concealed.

And Xiao Jinxuan also naturally sensed the embarrassment in Xiao Jinyu's soft and quiet words, and immediately saw that she was not busy greeting the old lady, but stepped forward a few steps, and then said mockingly:
"I didn't know that my sister-in-law became a devout Buddhist in a few months. I think my sister believed in Buddhism to pray for your unborn child and to repent of her sins. But this is what I should do." Yes, after all, adults have done embarrassing and wrong things that shouldn't be, but the child in my sister's womb is innocent after all, and my sister is right when she said what I said."

It is said that you should not slap people in the face, and you should not expose your shortcomings, but Xiao Jinxuan is good, and now she is hitting the nail on the head, and every sentence is aimed at Xiao Jinyu's pain.

After all, it was said that Xiao Jinyu went to Bieyuan to recuperate because she was unwell, but everyone in the handsome mansion knew that she had a miscarriage, which was too humiliating to her family, and the old lady had no choice but to send her away.

But although everyone in the commander-in-chief's mansion knew about these things, no one dared to say a word, so Xiao Jinyu had forgotten a lot about the painful and humiliating incident after going through this for a long time.

But now that Xiao Jinxuan was exposed bloody again in front of everyone, Xiao Jinyu's ethereal voice just now was hard to maintain, and the whole person stood up instantly because of excessive shame and anger, the whole soft and quiet face , This meeting is also ferocious, obviously really angry.

Just when Xiao Jinyu couldn't maintain her image and wanted to argue loudly with Xiao Jinxuan, the old lady of the Bai family who had been resting with her eyes closed suddenly smiled.

Although her laughter was extremely soft, everyone looked at her immediately, and the old lady also said leisurely at this time:
"Yu'er, sit down quickly, I've heard that you have a concubine with a sharp tongue. This kind of country girl is not often seen in the capital. Don't disturb your grandmother's interest." , you, concubine, are much more interesting than that playful monkey, I am delighted to hear that, and my grandmother wants to see what tricks she can come up with."

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, she was really quite rude. She said that Xiao Jinxuan was also the daughter of the handsome mansion, but she was blunt at first, saying that the other party was a country girl and would not be able to stand on the stage.

Then he compared Xiao Jinxuan with the monkey who was juggling. This even insinuated that the other party was not even considered a human being in her eyes.

And the old lady, Xiao Jinxuan's own grandmother, who was sitting in the accompanying seat, not only did not defend her, but instead yelled angrily:
"Jinxuan, if you don't kneel down quickly to the old man, you will cause trouble as soon as you come back to the mansion. Normally, if you don't have outsiders, your grandmother will let you mess around, but now the old lady of the Huaguo mansion is visiting the mansion. You Disturbing distinguished guests like this, you simply don’t understand the rules, I think what the old lady said is true, you are indeed more wild and unruly than a domesticated monkey, and I will definitely punish you severely today.”

Looking at the old lady who had been sick for several months and was unwilling to leave the Taining Hospital, now she stood up to embarrass her, Xiao Jinxuan actually wondered why the other party could endure these months.

On the way here just now, Xiao Jinxuan learned that the old lady of the Bai family went up to the mountain to pray for blessings a while ago, and she came back only after she fell off the cliff.

And this made sense, as for the reason why her grandmother claimed that she was not sick, she presumably was waiting for the old lady to come back, so that she could take advantage of the strength of her mother's family to regain control of the commander's mansion and make a comeback.

As for the old lady's reprimand now, Xiao Jinxuan is no longer the humble concubine who could only endure blindly when she first came to the commander's mansion.

Seeing that this grandmother still wanted to ask her to kneel in public, Xiao Jinxuan immediately sneered and frowned with a bad attitude and said:

"Grandmother wants to punish me. There must be a reason. I beat Aunt Li, but as a servant of the Bai family, she came to control my Xiao family's house and dared to speak disrespectfully to me. Those who know this kind of behavior will say that this slave is bold and reckless, but those who don't know will think that the servants who can't teach the rules in the Duke's mansion will only raise these cunning people who have no dignity and who go to other people's mansions to show off their prestige Slave bully, the granddaughter is also thinking about the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and the old matriarch, so she reluctantly took the initiative to teach this slave a few times, but Jinxuan wanted to ask her grandmother, what was wrong with me, Xiao Jinxuan."

As soon as she finished speaking, not only was the old lady speechless when she was forced to ask, even the old matriarch who had been calm all the time suddenly opened his eyes, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

The person who beat her said that she was reluctant to teach her a lesson. The old lady knew Xiao Jinxuan's difficulties as early as Xiao Jinyu, but now after she really met her, she really realized that the age in front of her is not good enough. Big, little girl from a bad background, she really is a ruthless character.

Immediately, the old matriarch stood up from the chair, and motioned to the servant girl to help her, then she let out a low smile, and tremblingly walked towards Xiao Jinxuan.
