A trace of sympathy appeared on Xie Zhao's face inadvertently. She paused and sighed softly.
"It's a long story... In fact, this Second Young Master Bai is indeed a poor person. I heard that his biological mother, Yue Ji, was originally born into a good family, but later became a poor man due to some changes. She is a humble dancer who dances in the dance studio to serve the guests.
Later, it was heard that she was bought back by Bai Lunqiao for a large amount of money and became a concubine. Later, it was rumored that she had a private meeting with someone because of her misbehavior. Bai Ruzhu's father Bai Lunqiao discovered her and ordered her to be killed. The servants beat him to death with sticks. Counting the time, Bai Ruzhu was only a few years old when Yue Ji died. "
Ling or frowned.
"What? His biological father actually ordered his biological mother to be beaten to death?"
Xie Zhao was silent for a moment and sighed softly.
"It is said that Yue Ji was killed with a stick in front of Bai Ruzhu. Master Bai, the Minister of Rites, suspected that Bai Ruzhu was not his biological son. In addition, Mrs. Bai's Xue family was from a wealthy family in Hedong, and the Xue family in Hedong was from a noble family. Women naturally can't stand a concubine born from a lowly concubine.
The background of this second young master Bai is questionable, and he must have had a very unsatisfactory life in the Bai family. Not to mention the descendants of the Bai family, even the commoner descendants of other powerful Zhaoge families, most looked down upon him and were unwilling to make friends with him. "
Under the ethics of the Southern Dynasties, even if they were both concubines, they could actually be classified into high and low status, as well as three, six, and nine grades.
Some concubines are the concubines of other small aristocratic families, some are the concubines of the noble family who have given betrothal gifts in a dignified manner; some are born to mothers who are innocent, good people, and upright people, who use a small sedan chair to walk through the back door. The good concubines who were brought in; no matter how bad it was, there were always the dowry maids who were around the mistress, who were born after crossing the clear road and being carried to the concubine's house;
The most humble and humble children of common people are the children of common people born to low-class slaves. Their biological mothers are not even considered good people. They are traded in goods, which is really despicable.
Even if a concubine with this kind of background is born into a wealthy family, she is still looked down upon by most serious wealthy families... What a coincidence, Bai Ruzhu is the most "low-class" concubine. one.
What's even more tragic for him is that there is also an extremely disgraceful biological mother who is rumored to be unruly, having an affair with others, and was eventually beaten to death by the servants of the palace.
This resulted in his life being more unsatisfactory than that of other bastards born from humble backgrounds.
Thinking about Bai Ruzhu's boyish-female appearance and beautiful and soft face, he must have inherited it from his biological mother Yue Ji, who was famous for her beauty and was a former dancer.
For some reason, Han Changsheng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "...A Zhao, you just said that the biological mother of the Second Young Master Bai is called Yue Ji? Which Yue Ji is it? Could it be the one who has been there for twenty years? Before, the famous Jinghongju oiran in Zhaoge City?"
Xie Zhao was slightly startled, and she glanced at him in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to have heard of Yue Ji's name?"
She said thoughtfully: "However, when Yue Ji became popular in Zhaoge City, you must not have been born yet, right?"
Xie Zhao originally said something very ordinary, but for some unknown reason, Han Changsheng was a little more angry than usual.
After hearing this, he muttered something in a low voice, with a hint of anger.
"I'm one year older than you, what? You know that it's normal to hear these Zhaoge stories, but it's strange for me to hear them?"
Xie Zhao was startled, what happened to this idiot today?
She turned her head to look at Ling You and Yu Anan inexplicably, looking confused and innocent.
"...Did he just eat gunpowder, or did he eat the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?"
How dare you choke her?
Is this idiot crazy?
Ling or laughed when he heard this.
Also, Han Changsheng has always had a good temper and always smiles happily when he sees everyone. It is extremely rare for him to be in such a bad mood and take his anger out on others.
Yu An'an also pursed her lips and smiled, and she said: "On weekdays, Changsheng sympathizes most with those girls who unfortunately fell into low status due to family changes. I think it was because he heard about the past experience of the biological mother of Mr. Bai Er, so he felt very sad. Compassion and compassion arose.”
Xie Zhao was slightly startled for a moment. She turned her head and looked at Han Changsheng. For some reason, her heart suddenly softened for a moment.
Han Changsheng, although he seems confused on weekdays, is actually very soft-hearted and a good person.
It seems that Ling You also has the same temperament.
Although he is a little "smarter" than Han Changsheng, because of his high martial arts value, no one dares to take his chances easily. But in fact, he is a completely honest person, a little old-fashioned who abides by the rules.
She sighed slightly in her heart.
But today's world seems to be different from what it was back then.
The number of people who behave treacherously and do not explain their emotions is increasing day by day. The empires in the four realms are turbulent and turbulent, and the rivers and lakes are also not peaceful.
Even at this moment, Zhaoge City, the Tianchen Imperial City, is full of "smart people" who are extremely smart.
There were very few "idiots" like Ling He and Han Changsheng, and she had to take good care of them to prevent them from being deceived out of their pants.
Suddenly remembering something, Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
"Actually...there were some doubts about Yue Ji's affair back then, and there were also former admirers of Yue Ji before she got married who complained for her.
They all said that although Yue Ji had fallen into prostitution, she was once an official, and she was also a courteous servant with great etiquette. Once she was married, she would never do such dirty things as having an affair with others.
Besides, since the Bai family said she had an affair, who was her adulterer? Why isn't there any news? "
Yu Anan asked anxiously: "What happened next? What is the truth? Can someone find out the truth for Miss Yue Ji?"
Xie Zhao shook his head and sighed slightly.
"The truth? Of course, only the real victim knows. Although some people suspect that this beauty of the dancing country was framed by the Bai family's mistress, the Xue family, the governor's office is powerful, and the Xue family in Hedong is also tyrannical. Those voices It was quickly suppressed.
Moreover, Zhaoge is prosperous and new things happen every day. How fast are the so-called famous cases changing? In a few years, few people will remember her. "
Everyone was silent.
Yu An'an bit her lip gently and said to herself: "From this point of view, this Second Young Master Bai is indeed very pitiful. He lost his biological mother at such a young age, and his biological father didn't like him very much. The murderer who ordered his mother to be killed..."
She felt a little uncomfortable, but she also felt a little enlightened.
——Now that she has left the one-third of an acre of Pingzhou, she has seen the vast world outside, and finally discovered that there are so many people with pathetic backgrounds in the world, and her background and circumstances are not really pitiable.
In the past, although Yu Anan was not visible on the outside, he would occasionally feel sorry for himself in his heart. He felt that he had never seen his biological father, General Yu, and that he had retired to the small town of Pingzhou and had a very pitiful life experience.
But now she doesn't feel that way.
At least she still has a mother who loves her, and a father who left them a fortune!
Even now, she has friends like Xie Zhao, Ling You, and Han Changsheng.
She should feel lucky and should stop being submissive.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The ancients did not deceive her.
Although his father died many years ago, and the Yu family was given back the hereditary military title of "General Pingwei" because there was no male successor, the Yu family has never been inferior to others!
She is the only daughter of former General Pingwei Yu Nianzhi. From now on she must be upright and straighten her spine!
Yu Anan glanced at Xie Zhao's young face half hidden under the mask under the night in the courtyard of the Princess's Mansion with admiration on her face.
——She will be like Azhao in the future, no matter how difficult the situation is, she must raise her head magnanimously and confidently.
