Xu Nuo was thoughtful, so she asked with a smile: "Young lady, you are so sweet. Do you remember when you saw me? What clothes was I wearing at that time?"
Seeing the smile on Xu Nuo's face, the little lady was no longer nervous. She spoke in a sweet voice about the scene when Xu Qian came over that day. [No pop-up novel website]
After hearing the little lady's description of the clothes and the demeanor of the people she saw, Xu Nuo raised the corners of her mouth, apparently deducing the whole story.
When he was about to say more, he heard the sound of walking coming from inside.
Footsteps approached, and in an instant someone pulled the little lady in and blocked her behind. He opened the door and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't knock on the door if it's okay!"
A woman in her twenties appeared in front of the door, looking impatient.
After she stood still, she didn't see the promise squatting in front of the door. Instead, she saw Xiao Yuan standing not far away. The moment she saw Xiao Yuan, the woman froze on the spot and swallowed all the curse words she was about to say. Go in.
The woman was a little embarrassed. In a panic, she pulled down her rolled-up sleeves and rolled up her hair around her ears. The impatient look on her face swept away, and she asked in an embarrassed voice, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuan took a step forward, first helped Xu Nuo up, and then said: "Take a friend in and come out soon."
The woman didn't expect that there was someone squatting in front of the door. His eyes stayed on Xu Nuo's face for a moment, then he lowered his eyes, turned sideways to make way for the two of them, and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuan pulled the sleeve of Promise, entered through the inconspicuous back door, and soon arrived at the veranda of the side courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion.
When Xu Nuo passed by the woman, he looked back at her and saw her head almost buried in her chest and her hands that kept pulling together, and felt strange in his heart. For a moment, he wanted to stop and ask Xiao Yuan what was going on, but in the end he held back.
Later, the two arrived outside the main courtyard of Jiaren County and found out that the Lord Jiaren County was not in the house, so they found a hiding place to hide.
Xiao Yuan squatted on the ground as usual. He squatted in a comfortable position and pulled Xu Nuo down. The two squatted side by side behind a row of hollies. He took the initiative and said, "The woman just now is a lady I knew when I was young."
After hearing this, Xu Nuo instantly turned his gaze back to the main door of Jiaren County and raised his eyebrows. He said: "You are less than twenty now, how young can you be?" Although the woman's behavior just now was very abnormal, Xiao Yuan was seven or eight years younger than her, so there should not be any old feelings.
"When I was seven years old..."
Xiao Yuan looked at the sky and answered like this.
that time. He has a master, a senior brother, the King of Zhou who is close to him, and a mother who loves him very much.
That was his happiest day.
"At that time, my junior uncle was very talented and well-known in the capital. He was engaged to the second daughter of a third-grade civil servant. The woman was one year older than him and had a lively temperament. He often came to see my junior uncle, and he often came to see me. Bring some food to me and King Zhou. We all liked her at that time and even thought she was the most beautiful woman in the capital."
"Until one day, it rained unprecedentedly, and my uncle came back from outside in a mess, holding a sword. He told me that the lady he was engaged to would never come again. Their marriage ended there, and later my uncle came back. When he went out to do business, he also swore an oath never to return to the capital."
When Xiao Yuan mentioned his vow to never return to the capital, Xu Nuo naturally thought of Zhu Shang.
But she couldn't believe it. Zhu Shang is Xiao Yuan's junior uncle.
Moreover, Zhu Shang was only twenty and two years old. What Xiao Yuan was talking about was obviously ten years ago. According to this calculation, Zhu Shang was only twelve years old. How could he be engaged to be engaged if he was completely a young man? How could he look like he was hurt by love?
"Didn't you say that you only have an unknown martial uncle who you have never met before? Why is there another junior martial uncle?"
Xiao Yuan didn't expect Xu Nuo to ask this, and he didn't remember when he had said these words to Xu Nuo, so he hurriedly changed his position and squatted. Then he half-covered his face with his hands and said, "Because my junior uncle doesn't want to recognize his sect..." Liu Niang is so smart, and there is nothing hidden from her in his words. I'm afraid she has already made a judgment on this matter. .
Xu Nuo pulled Xiao Yuan's hand from his face, stared into his eyes, and asked: "So, who is that woman who regrets her marriage?"
"That's the woman you just saw."
Xiao Yuan said it very helplessly, but after he finished speaking, the stone in his heart suddenly became lighter.
There are some things that I really don't want to hide from her.
"Why did she regret the marriage?"
Xu Nuo had a hard time digesting the news. If the junior uncle Xiao Yuan spoke of was really Zhu Shang, could Hu Ling accept Zhu Shang's experience? Hu Ling is so simple and loves Zhu Shang so deeply. How will she view Zhu Shang's past? Even if she doesn't mind, what will she do if the Hu family does not agree to their marriage?
When Xu Nuo was upset, Xiao Yuan told her the whole story, saying: "She met a prince back then, and the prince told her that he could make her a concubine and give her glory and wealth. She was moved, and her family She even encouraged her to break off the engagement and marry into the palace. Before she got married to her junior uncle, she told her junior uncle that she was pregnant with a child. However, his junior junior uncle had never touched her, so naturally it would not be his child. Junior junior uncle asked her What's going on? She just said that the two of us were done. Soon after, she got on the sedan chair and was carried in through the side door of the prince's house."
Xu Nuo couldn't tell that the woman just now was a side princess, so she couldn't help but ask: "Did she really become a side princess?'
'No, not even a day. "A helpless smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's face. The reason why the woman was not treated as the concubine after entering the house was because the head of Jiaren County went on a hunger strike, so Prince Ning had to postpone the canonization. Since then, he has never given the woman a title.
"But what about her bad child back then? Now this little lady is only six or seven years old. Logically speaking, she should have a nine-year-old child." Xu Nuo somewhat understood the woman's previous reaction in front of Xiao Yuan, the embarrassment, apology, and the lingering feelings in her bones. A bit stubborn, now that I have chosen, I would rather fight to the death than regret leaving.
Leaving means admitting to everyone that you were wrong.
"The child died within a month of being born. I checked later and found out that he was pinched to death by the nanny of Jiaren County Lord." Xiao Yuan clenched his fists involuntarily as he spoke.
According to his understanding, this matter was instructed by the Lord Jiaren County. Therefore, he had known about the ruthlessness and viciousness of Lord Jiaren County many years ago.
After the woman lost her son, she became very depressed. Two years later, she finally gave birth to another child, but the head of Jiaren County brought a Taoist priest back to the palace and said that the daughter she gave birth to was the nemesis of Prince Ning and could not be recorded in the name of the palace. Down.
Because of the Taoist priest's words, King Ning almost had his newborn daughter muffled to death.
In order to save her daughter, the woman promised the princess that she would never seek the position of the concubine, thus sparing her daughter's life. So, mother and daughter moved to the side door where she had entered Prince Ning's Mansion, and had been living like an ordinary family for many years.
