Concubine's true colors

Chapter 507
As a family member of the back house, Mrs. Zhao received thirty lashes. For her, even if she did not die, half of her life would have to be taken away.

However, Zhao's poor management of the family almost caused Xiao Jinxuan's death indirectly, and it was inseparable from Shen Chuyun's death.

Therefore, whipping cannot be avoided, but Xiao Yiming, the eldest son of the other party, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, willing to take the punishment for his mother.

Seeing that Xiao Sanjiang was unmoved when he heard the words, it was obvious that he was determined to make Mrs. Zhao suffer a lot, so that the other party would remember this lesson in his heart.

But looking at Xiao Yiming who was kneeling down, and everyone in the Xiao family who didn't look too good in the hall.

Immediately, the grievance in her heart dissipated a lot because of Xiao Sanjiang's decision, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but stood up with a gentle smile.

Facing Xiao Sanjiang, he gave a little blessing first, then Xiao Jinxuan looked at him calmly and said:
"Grandfather, it's been too long. Since you are willing to say something fair for Jinxuan today, then the grievances suffered by the granddaughter are nothing. After all, the eldest aunt is a girl, and it is very difficult to punish her with thirty lashes." There is a possibility that my life will be hard to save. I am afraid that my two cousins ​​and my cousin Jinwen will definitely hate me to death. My granddaughter still understands the truth that it is better to resolve an enemy than to tie a knot. It is only necessary to clarify the right and wrong, and the family law does not need to be enforced. .”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan is now in an absolute advantage, she didn't get carried away with complacency.

On the contrary, there is a bottom line in doing things intelligently, Xiao Sanjiang couldn't help showing a trace of relief in his eyes immediately, and his affection for this concubine's little granddaughter increased a lot.

And with this step given by Xiao Jinxuan, now that his anger has subsided, he doesn't want to kill Xiao Sanjiang because of his family law.

Even if Zhao's punishment of whipping was exempted, the penalty of being sent to the family temple for self-examination for three years is still mandatory.

However, Xiao Yijun's Fifty Army Stick, because the opponent was young and strong, and Xiao Sanjiang also intended to give this grandson some hardship, so it was naturally inevitable.

And when Xiao Yijun was pulled down, Xiao Sanjiang looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and then said with a hint of comfort in his tone:

"Grandma girl did all this today, not because you became a concubine, so I intend to ease the relationship with you. The old man really hopes that you can accept the Shuai Mansion again and treat us as your relatives. After all, your parents, There are also beloved younger brothers here, grandfather really doesn't want you to wander outside alone, I hope you can understand my feelings."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan was indeed very moved now, after all, no one in the Xiao family was willing to uphold justice for her.

Therefore, she, who was already very respectful to Xiao Sanjiang, nodded her head and accepted the members of the Xiao family completely in her heart, and immediately everyone in the hall couldn't help showing smiles on their faces.

After finishing the private matters, the old lady passed away, and there should be no delay in the mourning hall.

But because Xiao Jinxuan is now a concubine, even the old lady can't bear the other party's filial piety and kowtow.

So after Xiao Jinxuan put three sticks of incense on the old lady's coffin and bowed three times, it was considered a ceremony.

And I knew that even though Xiao Jinxuan was willing to ease the relationship with everyone in the handsome mansion, she still didn't let go of everything the old lady had done before.

So Xiao Sanjiang and the others didn't force Xiao Jinxuan to stay, they only asked the other party to go through the cutscene once, then sent the other party out of the handsome mansion and got into the carriage again.

After all, concubines in the palace cannot leave the palace for too long, otherwise it would be inconsistent with etiquette.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but drove towards the palace again under the warnings of Xiao Sanjiang and others.

This time, after returning to the Commander's Mansion, she unexpectedly let go of her humility with the Xiao family, which was also a surprise for Xiao Jinxuan.

But the only thing that makes Xiao Jinxuan feel a little regretful is that it is rare for her to go out of the palace once, but this time she was unable to see Xiao Wenyao, the younger brother, in the handsome mansion.

In fact, she also asked Xiao Yijun just now, and only then did she know that Xiao Wenyao was named Major General of Fuwei because of the Emperor Ming's will, although the Xiao family has the best generals.

But like Xiao Wenyao, who was named a major general at the age of 11, it was the first job, so as soon as Xiao Sanjiang came back, he decided to throw him and his brother Xiao Wenwu into the barracks to practice.

And because the Xiao family army was stationed far away from the outskirts of the capital, they sent someone to inform Xiao Wenyao that it would take some time to go back and forth, so until Xiao Jinxuan boarded the carriage and returned to the palace, she didn't even see her brother.

Although it is a little regretful, Xiao Wenyao can gain experience. Xiao Jinxuan, who has always regarded the other party as her biological brother from the beginning to the end, is actually very happy for the other party from the bottom of her heart.

Just when she was thinking about when, when Xiao Wenyao returned to the commander's mansion, whether she would announce that he would enter the palace to catch up with her, the carriage suddenly stopped with a slight shake.

The next moment, the car door was pushed open, and without giving Xiao Jinxuan any time to react, Zhou Xianyu's figure in a black cloud brocade robe sneaked in directly.

He waited helplessly to watch Zhou Xianyu drive Zhu Xin to sit outside the carriage, and then closed the carriage door again casually.

When Zhou Xianyu finished all this, then smiled at her with a smile, and attacked her with a pair of restless hands, Xiao Jinxuan finally recovered from her astonishment.

Eyes widened involuntarily, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly asked in surprise while hiding from Zhou Xianyu's hands that wanted to make trouble in the rather spacious carriage:

"Xianyu, at this hour, you have always been in the imperial study to discuss politics with His Majesty. Why did you come here so well? This carriage has my Zhaoyang Palace logo on it. You just came in so grandiosely. If someone else sees you I'm in the same carriage, and I'm bound to cause some trouble."

Regarding Xiao Jinxuan's frowning words of worry, Zhou Xianyu nodded perfunctorily.

And this time, Xiao Jinxuan was forced to a corner in the carriage, and it was hard for the other party to escape.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu smiled charmingly, and then hugged Xiao Jinxuan in his arms without any explanation, thinking that the last time he was alone with Xiao Jinxuan was a month ago.

Zhou Xianyu, who was tortured by lovesickness during this period, put his chin on the top of Xiao Jinxuan's head Dang Lian, and then muttered in an aggrieved and pitiful dissatisfaction:
"Jinxuan, stop struggling, let me hold you like this for a while, okay? I haven't even held your hand for a whole month. Tell me to stay alone in the empty room every day, now I really can’t eat well and can’t sleep. It’s hard for you to go out of the palace. I promise that no one will know that I got into your carriage just now. So you just stay at ease and obediently don’t move around, otherwise when you return to the harem, I want to get close to you like this, but I don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey, I really feel so exhausted just thinking about it.”

Speaking of the current Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, although they have no engagement, they have long been married.

Regarding this point, both the Empress Dowager Chen and Xiao Jinxuan's nominal husband Zhou Xianrui, as well as Xiangping, King Yongchang, Ding Yizhen and others who stayed in the Beijing military camp at that time, were all well aware of this.

But obviously everyone acquiesced to their hard-fated mandarin ducks who had gone through too many hardships to truly get together.

But because Xiao Jinxuan wanted to help Zhou Xianrui stabilize the harem, Zhou Xianyu often thought that the title of concubine Xiao would not be lost for a day.

In name, Xiao Jinxuan and him were still uncles and sisters-in-law, and immediately he felt so depressed.

If it wasn't for the fact that Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianrui were brothers since they were young, otherwise it would be based on Zhou Xianyu's unrestrained and unrestrained character, but also extremely not enthusiastic about government affairs.

He didn't want to stay in Dazhou with Xiao Jinxuan for a long time. After all, even if he got closer, he would worry about being criticized if he said a few more words, which was not a pleasant thing.

In particular, Zhou Xianyu did not forget Xiao Jinxuan's memory loss, and he later found out that the other party took the incomparably precious Yan Luolei to Zhou Xianrui.

Although he asked old man Ding afterwards, the other party admitted frankly that there was indeed no medicine in hand to completely heal Xiao Jinxuan.

But Zhou Xianyu, who never gives up lightly, firmly believes that in addition to Yan Luolei, there must be other panaceas in the world.

So in fact, Zhou Xianyu is eager to take Xiao Jinxuan to travel around the world, so that they can not only stay away from the troubles, but also find the elixir to cure stubborn diseases.

But don't look at Zhou Xianyu's character, he seems to be a bit lazy and casual on weekdays, but in fact, whenever he smiles at Xiao Jinxuan, he actually deliberately puts all the heavy things in his heart, so as not to let the other party worry about it of.

In fact, even though the two were short of a belated wedding banquet, in Zhou Xianyu's heart, Xiao Jinxuan was her wife.

As a man and even the husband of the other party, he felt that no matter what kind of hardships and burdens, he should bear them, so that Xiao Jinxuan should not worry about it.

And thinking of Xiao Jinxuan's hidden illness, Zhou Xianyu who was still smiling lazily, a trace of worry and distress flashed in his eyes.

Then I saw him hugging Xiao Jinxuan in his arms a little tighter, and then said softly:

"Xuan'er, I've been busy with rectifying the Xiaoqi camp and the city defense camp recently. You must pay attention to rest in the palace. Don't be too exhausted in everything. If something happens, you must call Wen Xin to tell me quickly. Don't worry about it." Carry it by yourself. In addition, if the Xuening Pill prepared by Uncle Ding is really effective, you will take it frequently. Although the refined medicinal materials are quite precious, if you finish that bottle, you will be in trouble. I will also get all the medicinal materials and ask Uncle Ding to refine the medicine for you. Therefore, if you feel headache and discomfort, remember not to endure it just to save medicine. Jinxuan, I really can't see you getting hurt a little bit, otherwise the Lord will My heart hurts like a knife."

Regarding the deadly medicinal effect of Xue Ning Pill, apart from Wenxin who happened to hear it that day, only old man Ding and Xiao Jinxuan in this world knew how poisonous and terrifying this medicinal pill was.

Therefore, if Zhou Xianyu knew that Xiao Jinxuan would die of poison after taking a whole bottle of Xuening Pill, then he would definitely not say what he said just now.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who knew the horror of Xuening Pill in her heart, heard that Zhou Xianyu actually used the poison pill as a panacea, and thought that after taking a bottle of Xuening Pill, she would eventually die first.

With a wry smile in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Zhou Xianyu full of reluctance and self-blame, and just when she wanted to test and ask, if there would be a day without her Xiao Jinxuan in this world, the other party might be able to bear this blow.

But before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, she was interrupted by the violent jolt of the carriage suddenly stopped.

It was also thanks to Zhou Xian's sharp eyes and sharp hands that he immediately stabilized the figures of the two, otherwise they would have bumped into the frame of the carriage.

And when Zhou Xianyu nervously asked Xiao Jinxuan if she was injured, suddenly the two people in the vehicle heard a woman's voice outside at the same time, shouting extremely sadly:

"Xiao Jinxuan, I have saved your life in the past, but now you want to kill my only son. If you don't give me an explanation today, then I will die in front of your carriage. Even if I turn into a ghost, I will pester you Life after life, I will never let you go!"
