Concubine's true colors

Chapter 404
Perhaps it was because the day of the big wedding had already been set, so Xiao Jinxuan didn't feel how fast time passed in the past.

But it felt as if in an instant, five days, slipped through the fingers, gone forever.

Because of Zhou Xianrui's return to Beijing in the past few days, the Xue clan has more or less restrained themselves a lot.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who had nothing to do and was rarely relaxed, originally wanted to read a book in the house.

But every time she thinks about the big wedding in five days, and the red silk happy words that are hung inside and outside her room according to the rules, Xiao Jinxuan will feel very flustered and irritable.

Just when it was difficult for her to concentrate, she had to close the book and rubbed her forehead with a frown.

But Zhu Xin walked in and informed her that a pair of Zhao's children, Xiao Jinwen and his brother Xiao Yijun had arrived at Lianqiao Courtyard, and asked to meet Xiao Jinxuan immediately.

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan, who was already suffering from severe headaches, knew that these two people's coming was probably related to the recent changes in the Xiao family without even thinking about it.

After all, she returned to the Commander's Mansion this time, not only drove the old lady to Guanyin Temple, Xiao Jinyu was also escorted to Prince Rui's Mansion.

Moreover, even Zhao Shi, the biological mother of Xiao Yijun's brother and sister, is now deprived of the right to be in charge of the house by her, so she has to stay in her own yard and doesn't go out easily.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan was not in the mood to discuss these trivial matters in the house with the siblings.

But after all, in the previous life, Xiao Yijun was the only one who treated Xiao Jinxuan equally and cared a little in the commander's mansion.

And in this life, Xiao Jinwen, a sensible cousin, has always left a good impression on Xiao Jinxuan.

So after taking a sip of Ningshen tea, Xiao Jinxuan finally felt more comfortable.

Immediately she stood up, led by Zhu Xin, and walked towards the hall.

And when Xiao Jinxuan almost walked in, Xiao Yijun, who had been quite anxious in the hall, immediately greeted her with an angry face.

"Xiao Jinxuan, take a look at the handsome mansion today. You have tormented it all by yourself. If I hadn't received Jinwen's letter and rushed back from the Beijing military camp. I think you are going to be the only one in the Xiao family. Domineering up."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Xiao Yijun who was almost baring his teeth and claws in front of her a few times.

Then she walked around the other party calmly, and came to Xiao Jinwen in a few steps, and said calmly:

"Cousin, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that now that I am going back to my mother's house, I have to find my cousin to accompany me? It seems that in the eyes of my sister, she is quite dissatisfied with Jinxuan now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinwen's face flashed a trace of solemnity. She, who has always regarded family as more important than life, couldn't help but immediately said:
"Jinxuan, I know that I am a married woman now, and I shouldn't come back to meddle in the affairs of the commander-in-chief's mansion. But you really went too far this time. How could you drive your grandmother out of the mansion and imprison your own mother?" , Sister Yi was also imprisoned in Prince Rui's Mansion. You know how unbearable the outside world is about you, Jinxuan, you should really restrain yourself from your behavior now."

Seeing Xiao Jinwen's earnest words, instead of showing any regrets, Xiao Jinxuan calmly sat down in the first place.

Immediately, Xiao Yijun, who was really pissed off, was already born with supernatural power. After smashing a chair beside him with his fist, he stared and said:
"Cousin Jinxuan, do you know that those people outside are saying that you are facing Qin Muchu and climbing dragons and phoenixes. Yu Wang died in the first battle, and you can't wait to marry into the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. They all say that Yu Wang is here to protect his subordinates." You, that’s why you went to war. Now you killed a prince, and you came to confuse another virtuous king of Dazhou. Everyone now regards you as a beauty, saying that you are a witch coming to this world.”

After recounting all the rumors he had heard, Xiao Yijun seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then pointed at Xiao Jinxuan and continued:

"I used to think that you are a gentle, humble and polite person, cousin. But now it's not just the princes of the royal family who are fascinated by you. Our Xiao family is also completely turned upside down by you alone. I see them You are indeed right, you are a witch!"

Holding the plum blossom tea handed over by Zhu Xin, Xiao Jinxuan drank the tea quietly, and just listened to Xiao Yijun's words without refuting a word.

Seeing that the other party finally stopped talking, Xiao Jinxuan, who also put down the teacup at the same time, couldn't help smiling and said:

"Xiao Yijun, have you finished your words? Go back to your Beijing military camp after you've finished. I, Xiao Jinxuan, have the final say on this mansion now. If you are dissatisfied, you can come back after I marry into Prince Rui's mansion. When you arrive there At that time, I, Xiao Jinxuan, didn't want to have the slightest relationship with your Xiao family, even if you invited me, I would not step into the gate of the handsome mansion."

Xiao Jinxuan, who had always been extremely polite and courteous in front of Xiao Yijun's siblings, was indeed stunned by this sudden dominance.

And Xiao Jinxuan, whose expression had gradually become indifferent after seeing this scene, continued to say after a sneer:

"It is said that I disturbed the commander-in-chief's mansion, but how did your Xiao family treat me kindly? When the news of Xianyu's death came and I was trapped in the mansion by Queen Xue's decree, what did I get? Together they drove me to the family temple, and if it wasn't for this, how could my second aunt and my maids die? Now I feel that I am too ruthless to your relatives, right? Then I can tell you clearly. If it weren't for me still alive With a trace of reason, I know that this group of people cannot be killed, otherwise you think I will call the old lady and your mother to live well until now."

Xiao Jinwen knows the conflict between Xiao Jinxuan and Zhao Shi better than anyone else.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan now, she really remembered all the grievances and grievances of the past in her heart.

Thinking of her mother's situation in the future, Xiao Jinwen couldn't help standing up immediately, and said anxiously and pleadingly:

"Jinxuan, no matter what, please don't hurt your mother. And you are about to become Princess Rui, and grandma and the others can't do anything to you. Just let go of the past grievances. After all, we were sisters who were close friends in the past. You Just agree to my cousin's request, okay?"

Seeing Xiao Jinwen's appearance that was about to cry, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing out loud, and after a long time she said slowly:
"Sisterhood in the past? After Xianyu's accident, my sister and I walked on thin ice in the commander's mansion, and even when I was driven to the family temple, where were you, sister? Now come and tell me about the past relationship, cousin, don't you think it's a bit late In the future, if there is no need between us, we should not get too close. After all, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, and it will be difficult to talk to each other after all. "

Standing at the same spot with no way to refute, Xiao Jinwen's face turned red.

In fact, when Xiao Jinxuan's accident happened, she was not in another place, and she, who was also in the capital, knew it clearly.

However, because of Zhou Xianrui's absence, the Prime Minister's government tried their best to suppress the prince's party in the court, and Meng Mian, who had always been upright, was naturally the number one target.

So seeing that her husband was in danger in the previous dynasty, Xiao Jinwen knew that the person who made things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan was the mother of the current dynasty.

In order not to offend Empress Xue, she held the mentality that more things are worse than less things, so she didn't help Xiao Jinxuan.

Even when the other party was driven to the family temple, Xiao Jinwen didn't go back to the commander's mansion to say a word of intercession.

Seeing from the sidelines that his sister would be questioned this way, he was speechless. Although Xiao Yijun felt that everyone in the previous commander-in-chief was really too much, he still clenched his fists tightly, as if he was about to rush forward and attack Xiao Jinxuan.

When the atmosphere in this hall was extremely tense, Xiangping suddenly stood in front of Xiao Yijun after a loud reprimand.

"You guys are so presumptuous. Don't you know that Jinxuan's side concubine's seal has already been posted? Although she hasn't married my fifth brother yet, she is already the king of the princess. When you see the side concubine of the palace, you don't want to be polite. , to even dare to offend in person, there really is no rule at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangping stood three steps in front of Xiao Yijun, pinched his waist with both hands, and said with wide eyes:

"Well, you black boy, you are fine and stayed in the barracks, but you came here to bully Jinxuan. Don't you know that she is my best sister? Believe it or not, I will beat you out of the commander's mansion right now. "

As soon as Xiangping finished speaking, he immediately wrinkled his little nose, raised his right hand, and waved at Xiao Yijun with no force at all.

But it was Xiangping's daughter's aggressive behavior that made the always brave Xiao Yijun lose his temper on the spot.

Not only that, seeing Xiao Yijun at this meeting, not only did not dare to look at Xiangping, but his face was flushed, and he said embarrassingly:

"Xiangping, you... why are you also in our commander-in-chief's mansion? I didn't mean Jinxuan just now, but I just hope that she will not disturb the peace of the family. After all, at an old age, it is really worrying to be always in the temple. .”

But when he heard this, Xiangping snorted immediately, and said in a bad tone:

"You know that you love that cruel grandmother of yours. Jinxuan is still your cousin. Why don't you care about her? I saw Mrs. Xiao chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the Guanyin Temple. Isn't it good? Hei boy, I warn you Don't worry about it. Jinxuan is going to get married soon, if anyone makes her unhappy, I, the Eighth Princess, will be the first to agree."

The reason why Xiangping is so unscrupulous towards Xiao Yijun is because they both grew up together since they were young.

Xiao Yijun, who was about to say something at first, immediately nodded honestly after Xiangping stared at him, and even sweated nervously.

In the end, under Xiangping's intervention, the two brothers and sisters of the Xiao family came in a hurry, and left in despair after failing to achieve their purpose.

Looking at the backs of the two of them walking out of the Forsythias Courtyard, Xiao Jinxuan's last trace of warmth towards the Shuai's Mansion was completely gone.

As long as five days pass, once she marries into Prince Rui's residence, all the people and affairs of the Xiao family will have nothing to do with her.

And her life trajectory will eventually open a new chapter.
