Chapter 3 Hypocrisy
Yong'an Hou looked at Pei Xiu and repeated coldly: "I'll ask you, who is an outsider?"
Pei Xiu: ""
Pei Xiu seemed to have been strangled, her pretty face turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes.
This is always the case!
When she competed with Cheng Jinrong, her mother did not look at her, and her father was even more partial! She was obviously the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion! Why was Cheng Jinrong suppressed her?
She is not convinced!
"Apologize to Jinrong immediately!" Yong'an Hou scolded Pei Xiu in a deep voice, his eyes pressing like the essence: "Jinrong is like my biological daughter. With me here, no one can bully her at all!"
Pei Xiu was so breathless that he was forced to lower his head, and his sobs were filled with endless grievances: "My cousin Rong, I'm sorry, it's me wrong. I shouldn't be talking nonsense to you. Don't take it to heart."
Pei Xiu finally couldn't say anything anymore, and cried with the back of his hands covering his red eyes.
How can you not feel sorry for your own flesh and blood?
Mrs. Yong'an Hou's eyebrows pounded and she quickly glanced at Yong'an Hou.
Yong'an Hou's eyes were deep and he could not see any true emotions.
When he turned to look at Cheng Jinrong, Yong'an Hou's eyes became gentle and his voice became gentle: "Jinrong, with his uncle here, you will not be wronged. You don't have to worry too much."
Such a hypocritical face!
Such superb acting skills!
How can an innocent girl who has been carefully raised in the inner house to see through it?
Cheng Jinrong sneered in his heart, suppressing the endless hatred in his heart, revealing a hint of emotion: "Uncle! You are so nice to me!"
What's the hard thing to coax an innocent little girl?
Over the past decade, the Cheng family has to take Cheng Jinrong back several times. However, Cheng Jinrong has long regarded him as his own father and regarded the Pei family as his home. He only returns to Cheng's house for a few days at the end of the year every year, and is all in all respects.
This time, Cheng Jinrong felt uncomfortable because of something harsh and ugly, so she had the idea of returning to Cheng's home.
Thinking about it, Cheng Jinrong has been moved by coaxing now.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Yong'an Hou's eyes. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Cheng Jinrong continued to say sincerely: "Because my uncle treats me very well, I have to think about my uncle even more."
"It is well known that my surname is Cheng or not Pei. The wedding ceremony was held at the Pei family. It is reported that it is not nice to the Cheng family, but it is not decent for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
"So, I plan to go back home and go to the wedding ceremony. Today, I will say goodbye to my uncle and aunt."
As he said that, Yingying gave a gift.
Yong'an Hou: ""
The Yong'an Hou couldn't laugh anymore, and his face was slightly dark: "Jinrong, are you making up your mind to go back to Cheng's house?" The voice showed the unhappiness of being disobedient.
The Great Chu Dynasty had been established for two hundred years and had nine dynasties. The once rich and prosperous Great Chu Dynasty had already shown signs of decline since the reign of the late Emperor Xuanwu.
Emperor Xuanwu emphasized martial arts and was relatively civilized. He was very fond of merit, and he was very frugal, and wars were frequent. He was in power for more than ten years. Many nomadic tribes outside the pass were wiped out. The soldiers of the Great Chu Dynasty were killed and injured, the population dropped sharply, and the national treasury was empty.
When encountering drought, floods or bad harvests, the people have a hard time living and are forced to leave their hometowns. There is no way out and they have to become bandits and gather people to become bandits.
King Yan was brave and good at leading troops to fight, and made many military achievements. Therefore, he was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanwu and was made the crown prince.
Eight years ago, Emperor Xuanwu passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the country was named Xuanhe.
This year was the eighth year of Xuanhe.
Emperor Xuanhe inherited Emperor Xuanwu's belligerent arrogance and valued martial arts over literature. The great and noble generals of the Great Chu Dynasty held military power and suppressed the civil officials so much that they could not raise their heads.
There were many military generals in the court, and the high-ranking and powerful ones were "Three Dukes and Four Marquis". The "Three Dukes" were Duke Weiguo Duke Jingguo, and the four Marquis were Duke Zhenyuan Duke Jinning Duke Yong'an Duke.
These Dukes' Mansions and Marquis' Mansions were all awarded titles for their military achievements and held hereditary alchemy iron certificates, and were the top nobles in the Great Chu Dynasty. The only exception was the Pei family.
The Pei family was promoted to the title because of Empress Pei. The Marquis of Yong'an was Emperor Xuanhe's uncle and was highly trusted and respected by Emperor Xuanhe. He was highly valued and was undoubtedly the leader of the Four Marquis.
With the power and status of Yong'an Marquis at this time, there were only a handful of people who dared to provoke him. No one in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion dared to go against his wishes.
When the Yong'an Hou sank his face, everyone suddenly became silent.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou shook her eyes and tried her best to soften her voice: "Jinrong, don't mess around, so as not to make your uncle unhappy."
One sings the red face, the other sings the white face.
For more than ten years, the couple has "joined together" and coaxed her with a hypocritical face. If it were before, she would have given way.
Cheng Jinrong sneered in his heart, and a little aggrieved on his face at the right time: "Jinrong asked himself that he had said nothing wrong, nor did he do anything wrong. Why is his uncle so angry? What's the reason for my aunt to open her mouth and say that I'm messing around?"
Yong'an Hou's right eyebrows shook quickly.
Anyone who knows his temperament knows that this is a sign before he is about to get angry.
Cheng Jinrong turned a blind eye and continued: "I have lived in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion for more than ten years, thanks to my uncle and aunt's careful care. Now, I am about to come, and I am really unsighted to continue living in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. I will go back to Cheng's house tomorrow."
"In the future, my uncle and aunt miss me. I will send someone to the Cheng family to send a letter. I will definitely visit you."
This is planning to move out of the Pei family completely!
Yong'an Hou's right eyebrows shook again, his eyes sharp as a knife, and his voice showed unquestionable majesty and domineering aura: "You grew up in the Pei family since childhood, and in my heart, it is no different from the Pei family's daughter."
"Why are you going to Cheng's house? I'm not sure!"
She is still using her hypocritical face as a "good uncle".
Looking at Yong'an Hou's extremely hypocritical face, Cheng Jinrong felt nauseous and nauseated.
She looked slightly calm and said lightly: "My mother died early. My father is a military doctor and has no time to take care of me. However, over the years, my father's salary and silver rewards have been sent to the Pei family. The Cheng family also sent a lot of silver every year to provide me with food and clothing. There is also the Queen."
Speaking of the four words "Empress", Cheng Jinrong paused and looked up at the couple of Yong'an Hou.
Those eyes are as bright as a mirror, which can clearly reflect the most obscure secrets in people's hearts.
Mrs. Yong'an's face changed slightly, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The temple of the Yong'an Hou was much deeper than that of the Yong'an Hou. There was no dissatisfaction on his face, and his brows even frowned even more: "How about the Empress?"
Cheng Jinrong stared at Yong'an Hou and said slowly: "The Empress has a generous reward every year, including gold, silver, jade, silk, satin, hairpin, hairpin, and jewelry, all of which are enough for me to wear on weekdays."
"Although I live in the Marquis' Mansion, no one has ever asked about it."
In just a few short words, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was so scared that she glanced at Yong'an Hou quickly.
Cheng Jinrong was the most gentle and obedient in the past. Today, he is smart and has different meanings.
Have you noticed something?
Yong'an Hou was obviously suspicious, and his sharp eyes slashed inch by inch on Cheng Jinrong's beautiful and beautiful face: "Jinrong, why did you suddenly mention the Queen today?"
Cheng Wang gave a thick stack of letters from his family every month, and the salary and rewards he earned were also sent to the Pei family. The Cheng family also gave a lot of money every year.
These things are not hidden from each other, and no one can hide them.
Empress Pei’s “great reward” was for the Pei family. Mrs. Yong’an Hou left most of the clothing, jewelry, spices and powder suitable for girls were mostly given to Pei Xiu and Cheng Jinrong.
Over the years, Cheng Jinrong only thought that it was because their couple loved her. After all, Empress Pei lived in the palace, and Cheng Jinrong had never seen this noble "aunt". The so-called favoritism cannot be mentioned.
All the things delivered to Changchun Courtyard were carefully examined by Mrs. Yong'an Hou himself. There will never be any words involved.
What exactly is the omission?
Why did Cheng Jinrong speak out to the queen today?
What did she know?
"I just mentioned it casually. Why is my uncle so nervous?" Cheng Jinrong looked surprised and confused: "Can I not mention the Queen?"
Yong'an Hou: ""
It seemed that a sharp thorn was stuck in his throat.
Can't swallow it or vomit it out.
