The two women's sneers and the night wind and snow blew past Xie Shu's ears, making her already painful left leg tremble even more.
Facing the night, she slowly raised her head, the veil flying on her face. The face was burned by fire, which was horrifying.
A pair of eyes, as lifeless as ancient wells, it is clear that she is a girl in her twenties, but withered and depressed.
There seemed to be many deep emotions settling in his eyes.
"What else? This Xie Shu is also a baseless person. The Xie family collaborated with the enemy and rebelled. As the daughter of the Xie family, she should have died together."
"Look at her slutty outfit and such an ugly face, she can still seduce the prince so much that he can't get out of bed! What young lady from the General's Mansion, is she not a lowly child raised in Fireworks Alley?"
"Bah, just wait and see. Only when the new princess enters the palace will she know what life is worse than death."
Life is worse than death.
Yeah?
A smile appeared on Xie Shu's bloodless face, and her heart slowly sank.
Chu Tongshang, then, as you wish.
Xie Shu put on her clothes and walked out of the room stiffly. Her left leg hurt so much that she felt dizzy when she crossed the threshold and almost fell down.
Maybe it was because I suffered too much torture in prison and it hurt so much that I didn’t feel any pain at all.
She just felt bitingly cold.
Two women laughed maliciously in the snow.
"Go faster, do you still think you are a rich lady? If you are late and make the princess unhappy, you will feel better!"
Xie Shu was speechless and had no reaction. She had known since she was a child what it means to be in a harsh world, to praise someone who is superior and to suppress someone who is inferior, and to push down the wall when others push her down.
She is no longer the Miss Xie she used to be. She is just a slave living in the palace. Even her survival depends on Chu Tongshang's face and mood. Naturally, there is no need to pretend to be a young lady.
Xie Shu followed the two women, walking faster and faster.
Her legs hurt so much that she walked very slowly, and every step was like walking on a knife's edge.
She was thinking about every step she took.
Live, help my sister-in-law raise my nephew, live for this thought.
As for other things, she couldn't care about it and didn't want to worry about it.
…
Xie Shu woke up early the next morning. Her legs still hurt a lot, but luckily Chu Tongshang said it yesterday.
Her face must not frighten the princess.
Xie Shu put on her veil and went to Tongxinyuan to serve her.
Tongxinyuan is very lively, and people in the room have already passed around breakfast.
Xie Shu came too late, but she still had to bite the bullet and walk in. She subconsciously looked at the table from the corner of her eye.
"Thank you sister for coming."
"Sister Xie, why are you wearing a veil?"
Gu Suisui looked at her doubtfully. Her fair oval face made her cute and cute, and her eyes were as clean as a pool of spring water.
Taifu Gu's legitimate daughter is innocent, gentle and lovely.
This thank you to sister made Xie Shu feel like she had a lump in her throat.
"Thank you, sister?" Chu Tongshang sneered coldly.
Xie Shu frowned and said nothing.
Chu Tongshang didn't look at her, took Gu Suisui's hand and asked her to sit next to him.
"Okay, you were clamoring to see her, and she's here. Now is it time to have a good meal, right?"
Gu Suisui pursed her pink lips and said angrily, "My lord, you know how to bully Sister Xie. You are not allowed to bully Sister Xie in the future."
"I want to thank my sister for coaxing me to drink it. I hate drinking brown sugar water the most. It's so sweet." Gu Suisui frowned immediately.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Xie Shu held her breath and tried her best to control her emotions.
She acted somewhat unfamiliarly in serving others.
A bowl of piping hot red date syrup was placed in front of Gu Suisui.
"Invite the princess to a meal."
Xie Shu no longer had the arrogance she had before, and her posture was full of respect and humility.
Gu Suisui's face turned red, her big eyes sparkling, "Xie sister, don't be like this, don't serve me..."
"I'm not a kid. I can drink it myself. I'm just... joking with you."
She looked nervous.
"Oh... yes." Chu Tongshang pinched Gu Suisui's round face, "You are no longer a little girl, you are already my king's princess."
Chu Tongshang's words were ambiguous and full of puns.
Gu Suisui blushed in embarrassment and covered her face.
"My lord, stop talking!"
"Didn't you feel sick last night?" Chu Tongshang said with a smile on his lips, and his deep and slender peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness, "The imperial doctor said that it won't hurt if you drink it."
"You still owe me a wedding night."
