Outside Prince Yan's Mansion.
After so many years, Zhu Sijia felt extremely strange when she stood outside the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion again.
After she married into Prince Yi's house in her previous life, she was confined in the house by Yan Xing. It was not until the last few years of her life that perhaps Yan Xing let down his vigilance towards her, or perhaps time diluted his hatred for her, and she was able to go out freely. Opportunities for the government.
It is no exaggeration to say that she has forgotten what Prince Yan's Mansion looks like.
When the people in Prince Yan's Mansion learned that she was going back to stay at the Mansion tonight, they entered Xijing City before her and made preparations in the Mansion early.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to the beautiful lady Zhu."
"I pay my respects to the beautiful lady Zhu."
Seeing her father, who always looked down at her from a high position, and Zhang Yin, who always looked at her with disgust and wanted to cover her nose, are now kneeling down to her, it would be a lie to say they are unhappy.
It turns out that this is the smell of power.
The whole family of Prince Yan's Mansion, young and old, knelt in the courtyard waiting for Zhu Sijia. Even Mrs. Yu, who had been ill in bed for a long time, got up and came to greet her. She knelt behind Prince Yan and his wife. Although she looked at Zhu Sijia with a smile, her lips couldn't help but move. Tremble.
Yu's body felt very uncomfortable.
Zhu Sijia's heart was in agony, and she quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Yu up before she excused herself from others.
Zhu Siyi was the first to stand up. Due to the fact that there were people from the palace in the house, she did not dare to speak arrogantly to Zhu Sijia in person, so she could only say in a strange way:
"It seems that after my mother and I left Qiu Lie first, Zhu Meiren's life was quite pleasant. She was so pampered by my cousin that she was so noble, and there was no trace of the stinky country chicken she used to be. "
Zhu Sijia immediately pretended to be heartbroken and acted out:
"When my sister said this, was she blaming my parents for not educating me well? Or maybe she had forgotten the hard days of being slapped and chewed up?"
The faces of King Yan and Zhang Yin were a little ugly for a moment.
How dare she bring up old things again! Zhu Siyi was furious, but she could only wave her hands and leave unwillingly.
Zhu Sijia didn't have any extra time to waste on a group of irrelevant people, and helped Mrs. Yu back to her courtyard.
In the Yu Family Courtyard.
"Mom, why are there bruises on the corners of your mouth?"
When Zhu Sijia was giving Yu Shi medicine, she discovered that the right corner of Yu Shi's lips was blue, which was covered by the makeup on Yu Shi's face. It was only revealed when Zhu Sijia wiped it with her handkerchief.
Mrs. Yu smiled calmly: "Nothing, I guess there is something wrong with me again."
The personal maid Cuilan beside her sobbed: "Auntie, at this time, do you still want to hide this beauty? This is obviously a gift from the evil woman in the main courtyard!"
"You mean this was Zhang Yin's beating?" Zhu Sijia was about to attack, "My mother is His Majesty's royal wife. How dare she be so bold?"
However, Mrs. Yu pulled Zhu Sijia hard and refused to let her go to the main courtyard. She tried hard to persuade her to stay:
"Let's just leave this matter behind! Besides, my mother was not harmed at all. Madam, she had just slapped her when she was stopped by two red-clothed secret guards who flew out from nowhere. They slapped her back on the spot. Slap back."
It turned out that the two dragon guards sent by Yan Xiu protected her.
Zhu Sijia looked at her mother and asked her with some confusion:
"How many times is this? Why is it that you are given the imperial decree by His Majesty, and she can arrogantly embarrass you! This shows that you are easy to bully, and she does not take you seriously, and even regards the emperor's decree as a Dung!”
"No matter what, I must vent your bad breath today for you!"
Zhu Sijia forcibly shook off Yu's hand and was about to go find Zhang Yin. Yu actually knelt down directly on the ground, kowtowed to Zhu Sijia and begged with heartache:
"Cicada! I beg you, mother, no matter today or tomorrow, you must not use the power you have gained to embarrass my wife! Don't even think about venting your anger on my mother's behalf!"
Cicada is Zhu Sijia’s nickname.
This nickname was given to her by Mrs. Yu herself. Only the mother and daughter know it, not even her younger siblings.
Zhu Sijia couldn't believe it. She opened her eyes hard, tried her best to contain her tears and emotions, and asked Mrs. Yu over and over again: "Why... why is it like this again? Is it still because of that reason?"
Mrs. Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, for that reason, I will always be indebted to Madam for the rest of my life."
The Yu family is not just nameless. Very few people know that she was once called Yu Shiniang. She was born in the once-prominent Yu family of the Zhongming Dingshi family. She ranked eleventh among the female relatives of the same age in the family.
The Yu family was an arrogant and powerful family during Emperor Wen's period, even more majestic than the Zhang family today.
But the big tree attracted the wind, and overnight, all the men of the Yu family were executed, while the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division and could only receive lowly status for the rest of their lives.
Mrs. Yu was only thirteen years old when she lived in Jiaofangsi. When she sneaked out of the backyard of Jiaofangsi and was about to escape, she was almost raped by a few idle ruffians. It was Zhang Yin, a rich girl who was still in the boudoir, who rescued her. .
Sixteen-year-old Zhang Yin saw that she was destined to be with the Yu family. Regardless of her family's objections, she forcibly sold the relationship and asked someone to change the Yu family's registration and take her back to the mansion to become her personal maid.
Later, Zhang Yin married into Prince Yan's palace and took the beautiful Yu family with her.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yin gave birth to a daughter, Zhu Siyi, and lost the chance to have a child due to dystocia.
Rather than letting King Yan invite some unscrupulous women into the palace to threaten her status, it would be better to give the honest and responsible Yu family who is by his side to King Yan.
Unexpectedly, King Yan had already spotted her when the Yu family entered the palace. When Zhang Yin sent her to the bed, King Yan was even more overjoyed. Before Zhang Yin was born, he stayed with the Yu family every night. In the room.
From then on, she was even more exaggerated to the extent that she never left the Yu family. When the Yu family gave birth to Zhu Sijia, King Yan was so happy that he made her his concubine. He even used his military exploits to go to the Emperor and ask for a good marriage.
This is the origin of the marriage between Zhu Sijia and Yan Xing.
It was Zhang Yin who personally sent her to King Yan, and it was Zhang Yin who wanted to hate Shang Yu from now on.
But the culprit of all this is obviously King Yan, right?
If it weren't for the fact that all the men in the world were courting each other, causing their wives to cry at the west window every night, but because the man was the head of the family and had the highest status, the wife's resentment could only be vented on the side wife.
Zhu Sijia couldn't bear to see her mother kneeling and begging her like this. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and helped Mrs. Yu back to the chair: "I promise my mother."
Among the three children of the Yu family, Zhu Sijia looked the least like her, but her temperament was the most similar to hers. She sadly told Zhu Sijia:
"It's not that my mother is soft-hearted or too tolerant, but that she understands the principle of repaying kindness with kindness. Cicada, you are still young, and you don't know the miserable situation that my elder sisters were in after they were dismissed from the Jiaofang Division."
"My seventh sister was the most outstanding noblewoman in Xijing City, but on the third day after entering the Jiaofang Division, she died under a man's crotch, her lower body was bleeding like a river. I hid in the pile of debris outside her room and listened. She screamed the whole night. Even now, when I dream back at midnight, I can still hear her crying."
"Madam, you saved me back then. She saved me from fire and water. You must never repay kindness with hatred!"
