Chapter 23 Five Princesses

The eldest princess's birthday banquet was over, and everyone in the Qin residence returned from the princess' palace.The Qin Mansion's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. As soon as Qin Fenghua got out of the carriage, he saw Mother Zhou beside her mother waiting for a long time, and asked her to go to her mother's Ronghua Hall.

So Qin Fenghua took his maid, Wutong, into the mansion and walked towards the Ronghua Hall.

When we arrived at Ronghua Hall, the little maid at the door opened the curtain, Qin Fenghua lowered his head slightly, and entered Ronghua Hall.

It happened to be noon at this time, and the sun was just right outside, but the inside of Ronghua Hall was dark, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the air was filled with the smell of seeds.

Qin Fenghua turned around the main hall and went to the inner room.

I saw my mother wearing a light-colored long gown and leaning on the couch today, her eyes were slightly drooping, her brows were slightly frowned on her charming face, accompanied by a few light coughs from time to time, she looked extremely weak.

"Mother." Qin Fenghua called softly.

Hearing the sound, the woman on the couch opened her eyes and said, "Here we come."

"En." Qin Fenghua took off his shoes, squeezed onto the woman's couch, and leaned gently on the woman's arms.

The woman seemed to be amused by Qin Fenghua's actions, she smiled helplessly: "How old are you, and you are still clinging to your mother. Don't feel ashamed."

"Well. I'm still young." Qin Fenghua buried herself deeply in her mother's arms, greedily absorbing her mother's scent.

Zhenbeihou's wife, Zhou Jiling, died of illness in the autumn of Shenwu's 55th year, and now it is the summer of Shenwu's 55th year.

Ever since Qin Fenghua could remember, his mother had been weak and sick. His father was afraid that they would disturb her, so he forbade them to come to her house often.

Therefore, in her previous life, Qin Fenghua thought that her relationship with her mother was quite weak, but it was not until after her mother passed away that the occasional lingering sadness let her know how sad and regretful she was.

Qin Fenghua languished in his mother's arms for a long time before he said in a muffled voice, "Why did mother call me here?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just about your cousin..."

Qin Fenghua knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, so she told everything about what happened in the princess' palace. Of course, she didn't mention things that should be omitted.

After Zhou Jiling heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "You are right. I have always told you before that you should not get too close to Qin Qianxue. You never listened to persuasion. Now you have grown up, and you are very happy for your mother."

Zhou Jiling stroked the broken hair on Qin Fenghua's forehead, and wanted to say more. Suddenly, a little servant girl ran in in a panic and shouted: "Madam, Miss, it's not good, Miss Qianxue hanged herself!"

***
Soon, news of Qin Qianxue's suicide spread throughout the Qin residence.

Zhou Jiling's Ronghua Hall is some distance away from Qin Qianxue's courtyard.When Qin Fenghua and his mother arrived, the courtyard was already full of people.

The old lady Qin had already arrived, and she was holding Qin Qianxue who was rescued and wept endlessly: "My good granddaughter, why are you so stupid! If you go, how can I, an old woman, live—— "

"Grandmother! Woohoo."

As soon as Qin Fenghua and his mother entered the room, they immediately saw Mrs. Qin and Qin Qianxue who were sitting on the ground hugging each other and crying.Then came the other people standing next to the two at a loss.It is neither mixed nor not, nor is it not mixed.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jiling pressed her head. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but as Mrs. Hou, she had no choice but to show up, so she began to host the scene. First, she asked someone to help the old lady and Qin Qianxue to get up. It is to ask people to go outside to ask for a doctor.

Unexpectedly, the old lady Qin didn't accept her favor at all, she waved away the servant woman who came forward to support her, and shouted at Zhou Jiling: "Go away, you don't need Zhou Jiling to pretend to be kind, my old lady just needs to die to make you happy." .”

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Zhou Jiling said helplessly.

"I won't listen to you, call me Lord Hou! I want him to take a good look at how the people in the mansion forced us to death!" Mrs. Qin said.

Now that the old lady's words had reached this point, Zhou Jiling naturally had nothing to say, turned around and called the servant with a blank expression, and told him to go and call Hou Ye home.

***
Before Qin Shuo finished his work in the office, he heard that his old mother was going to hang himself. He was so frightened that he ran home in a hurry, without even noticing that one of his shoes was lost.

"Mother!" Before Qin Shuo arrived, his voice came first, and he yelled loudly, which shocked Mrs. Qin and Qin Qianxue's crying to an abrupt end, and Qin Qianxue even hiccupped.

"I heard people say that you are going to hang yourself!" Qin Shuo was tall and hulking, he squeezed towards the old lady Qin and Qin Qianxue, looking extremely fierce, and the two of them looked like shivering chickens.

But the old lady Qin was not at all frightened, her old bones were extremely flexible, she jumped up, and slapped Qin Shuo on the back of the head with a slap: "Fuck you, you are going to hang yourself, the unfilial son expects me to die! It's Qian Xue Hanged!"

"Ah? My niece, why is this?" Qin Shuo has been busy with official duties and doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, so he doesn't know what happened.

"Qianxue will be forced to become a concubine in Prince Yun's Mansion!"

Qin Shuo:? ? ?
Qin Shuo finally knew the cause and effect of the matter from the housekeeper's father. He glanced at his niece, and then turned to the old lady and said, "Then what is the old lady going to do? The eldest princess has already spoken, what else can my son do? Do you really want to be an aunt?"

"Bah! You just became a sister-in-law."

Qin Shuo: ...I'm afraid I can't do it.

"You can't disobey what the eldest princess said. Being a concubine is already a grievance. You can't be wronged anymore in terms of dowry. You must use the dowry to compensate Qianxue." Old lady Qin said.

When Qin Shuo heard this, it was not easy, so he readily agreed, "It's just a dowry, and the Hou Mansion can't afford it? Mother, don't worry."

However, upon hearing Qin Shuo's assurance, Mrs. Qin just glanced over and asked, "Are you rich?"

"I..." Qin Shuo choked up, he had no money...

His wife is rich.

So he rubbed his hands together, and saw Zhou Jiling standing beside her, with a tall body like a cat approaching her, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, ma'am, look..."

"I'm not going." Zhou Jiling flatly refused.

"You..." Qin Shuo felt that he had lost face, and his daughter-in-law refused so quickly, woo woo, he was so sad.

So he turned around, spread his hands, and said rascally, "Mother, I have no money."

Seeing her son acting cowardly, Mrs. Qin really hated iron for being weak, and the civil and military courts of all courts have never seen such a fear of his wife!Coward!

"I don't care, Qianxue's father passed away early, you as an uncle must pay a dowry, otherwise I will not recognize you as a son, and don't call me mother!"

"This, this..." For a moment, Qin Shuo was in a dilemma, with his wife's icy face on one side and his mother's ferocious face on the other.In a hurry, he was a burly man, almost crying.

"Ha! This is the first time I've heard that when my niece gets married, I will force my uncle to pay the dowry. When did we have such a custom in the Great Xia Dynasty, and this princess doesn't know?"

Suddenly a female voice came from outside the crowd, breaking the deadlock in the room in an instant, and everyone consciously gave way.I saw a woman in Chinese clothes walking in, looking at her age of twenty years, she was very dignified.

It is the eldest young mistress of the Qin family, the fifth princess of the current emperor, and Princess Fu'an.

But hasn't Princess Fu'an always lived in the Princess Mansion?What kind of wind brought her here today?
