Zheng Xiyao thought she was hallucinating?
Did she just hear Jing Kang's name? Who did Wang Sheng say was dead?
Jingkang?
She was still asking something, but when she chased him out, she found Wang Sheng's shaky figure hidden in the crowd.
Zheng Xiyao chased Wang Sheng and lost her way.
Among the men, women, and children walking around, she was the only one looking for them.
She has nowhere to turn to in this strange world.
"Are you...Miss Zheng?" A surprised question came from behind Zheng Xiyao. She followed the sound and turned around. The elegant and quiet woman in front of her was Chen Ru.
"Chen..." Zheng Xiyao stepped forward to stop the woman who was about to salute.
"This is not a palace, so there is no need to be formal."
But Chen Ru did not stand up. Instead, she bowed down stubbornly and said, "Sinful girl Chen Ru, please thank me for my brother's kindness."
Zheng Xiyao let go of her hand and accepted the gift.
"Chen Hai is lucky to have a sister like you."
"No, my brother has a mother... He is lucky to have a friend like Miss Zheng."
Zheng Xiyao chuckled upon hearing this: "Don't you blame me for not saving your brother?"
In response to her question, Chen Ru was silent for a moment: "No, I had known this day would come, and my brother also knew it. This is what my brother should repay. He owes the royal family and his sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Xiyao didn't react for a moment, but suddenly some pictures flashed in her mind: "Are you talking about Jingkang?"
Chen Ru nodded.
"What happened to them?"
"My Majesty, I don't know. Three years ago, the late Emperor ordered Princess Jingkang to marry her brother. But my brother..." Chen Ru hesitated for a moment.
Zheng Xiyao: "Chen Hai must be unwilling, but he can't resist, so is he venting all his grievances on Jing Kang?"
"My queen understands my brother. He is arrogant and arrogant."
"He couldn't take revenge on the late emperor, so he bullied a woman?" Zheng Xiyao mocked. She could generally imagine that Jing Kang must have had a very hard time with Chen Hai.
Chen Ru looked ugly, and finally sighed and replied: "Brother, he has never thought about what to do to his sister-in-law. After all, he is married. But who knew that it would end up like that."
It turns out that Chen Hai deliberately cold-hearted Princess Jingkang because he couldn't swallow it, and wanted to make her give in. Unexpectedly, Jing Kang had a stubborn temper, so the two of them had a tense moment. Later, Chen Hai got angry and married Chen Waner, the concubine of the Chen family, and Wanhualou Haitang. "
Suddenly, the entire Chen Mansion was in a state of chaos.
How could a concubine who was deeply involved in the Shen family and an courteous courtesan who had learned a lot, Jingkang, a woman who had been loved by her brother since she was a child, be rivals?
Within a few days, he was driven away from the main courtyard to the desolate abandoned garden.
But Chen Hai knew all about these obvious frame-ups, but he pretended not to know, and waited for Jing Kang to admit his mistake and beg for mercy until one day, but that day he did not wait, but instead waited for Liu Siyan.
Liu Siyan heard that his sister was being bullied at the Chen family, and came to ask for an explanation. Chen Hai threatened and humiliated her, but it happened that Jing Kang saw this scene.
From then on, Jing Kangzai never left the side courtyard. Until Chen Hai accidentally broke into Jing Kang's residence when he was drunk, the forgotten Mrs. Chen appeared in front of everyone.
But no one cared, because Chen Hai never went to Jingkang's place again, as if you really went wrong.
Until the news came out that Jing Kang was pregnant.
This was originally a good thing, but in the end it became Jing Kang's life-threatening talisman.
At a family banquet, Jing Kang, who had not been seen for a long time, attended and was the envy of everyone.
Because no matter who it is, as long as they are pregnant with an heir, they can really gain a foothold in the Chen family.
Later, it was a standard inner-house fight, and Jing Kang was framed and scratched his face. He was imprisoned by Chen Hai again.
I don’t know who lit the fire.
fire burning
On this day, on Jing Kang’s birthday, Liu Siyan came to the Chen Mansion again to give Jing Kang a gift.
He witnessed his sister crying miserably in the raging fire:
"Help...help me..."
However, the fire spread so quickly that the entire house collapsed before rescue efforts could be carried out.
"He was poisoned mute, his face was scratched, he was thrown into the sea of fire and burned alive. He was three months pregnant when he died." Zheng Xiyao said softly and slowly, "One corpse, two lives."
"Chen Hai really deserves to die..." Zheng Xiyao said the name of the dead man in her voice.
Chen Ru was silent, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Zheng Xiyao turned her head to look at Chen Ru, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "I advise you to leave here as soon as possible, as far away as possible. It is best that Liu Siyan cannot find the place."
She felt that although Chen Ru was Chen Hai's sister, she was also innocent and had never done anything harmful in her life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am indeed leaving here."
"Where to go?"
"Yong Kingdom."
"You don't have to go this far to escape, right?"
"It's not about escaping, it's about getting married."
"?"
"The envoys of the Yong Kingdom have arrived in the capital in the past few days, and I will follow the envoys to the Yong Kingdom soon." Chen Ru said and smiled. She was not sad, but looked forward to it.
Zheng Xiyao understood: It's just that I no longer have worries in Shu, and leaving is freedom.
"Congratulations, you are free."
Chen Ru nodded happily, then bowed deeply to her and said goodbye.
She looked at Zheng Xiyao's disappearing back and murmured to herself: "Brother, everything is as you wish. I hope you can be relieved soon."
