Su Rong was awakened by a suppressed cry.
She opened her eyes, raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and heard a "hiss" sound, followed by a heartbreaking pain. Then she remembered that her forehead was broken. According to the pain, it was obvious that no one had come to treat her.
She put down her hands, sat up with difficulty, and shouted through the broken door and window, "Yuewan, come in."
Yue Wan was startled, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears on her face, opened the door and entered the house, her eyes were red and watery, and she said pitifully, "Miss, are you awake?"
"Why are you crying? Didn't I just knock a little? Your young lady is blessed with great fortune. Even if no one comes to heal me, she won't die."
Yuewan couldn't hold it any longer, and tears flowed down again, "No."
"Not what?"
Yue Wan wiped her tears with her sleeves and said with sobs and discomfort: "It's been widely spread outside that something big happened in the capital. The young master of the Protector's Palace and the young prince of Ruian's Palace snatched a woman and fought in the street. Ugh. Wow, how can Young Master Zhou steal a woman from someone else?"
Su Rong was stunned, "He just grabbed it? Why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"
Yue Wan choked, angry, and clenched her fists tightly, "Miss, Young Master Zhou is your fiancé."
Su Rong: "..."
Oh, she forgot, she had a fiancé, Zhou Gu, the young master of the Protectorate, whom her mother had somehow arranged for her before she was alive, and she never told her the reason until her death.
She was a concubine from the prefecture of Jiangning County, and she had a legitimate young master as her fiancé, the head of the Duke Protector's Palace. She couldn't live up to her reputation. When her mother told her, she was stunned for a cup of tea. When she came back to her senses and wanted to know the details, her mother didn't give her a chance to ask and died.
She coughed and asked curiously: "Did he grab it?"
Yuewan lowered her face and said, "I snatched it."
Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. If he can't even grab a woman, he's such a waste."
Yue Wan opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Rong in shock, "Miss! You haven't lost your mind, have you? That's your fiancé. Before you get married, he is so ridiculous and everyone knows about it. Wait for you Pass the door..."
"Do you think this marriage is possible?" Su Rong interrupted her.
The moon turned silent for a moment.
Su Rong waved to her, "Help me up. I'm so injured that I need to call a doctor quickly. If my appearance is ruined, I really won't be able to get married."
Yuewan woke up with a start, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Rong, saying with red eyes: "The eldest lady said that you have hired Dr. Yueguang three times. If this continues, all the money in the house will be spent by you alone. You are a long-term doctor." With such a face, she cannot marry into the Zhou family, otherwise she will be destined to become a concubine, so it is better not to treat her and ruin her, and maybe she can still be a real wife."
Su Rong walked to a broken mirror and looked at the large wounds on her forehead, which were too terrible to look at. She said flatly: "No, I only have this face. How can I not cure it? Even if I don't marry Zhou Gu, I can't. Can you marry a scholar?"
Yuewan feels wronged, "There are many scholars who sell their wives to seek glory."
Su Rong was speechless, stretched out her hand and touched Yue Wan's forehead, "Have you read too many painting books? Where did you get such malice towards the scholar?
Yue Wan said with tears in her eyes, "You have been in a coma for half a day. I begged the eldest lady for more than an hour, but the eldest lady never nodded."
"Where's my father? He cares most about my face."
"The master is out on business and won't be back until three days."
Su Rong stamped her feet, "Let's go, I'll go find the eldest lady."
She endured her dizziness and walked out of the small shabby house and the shabby courtyard. After walking for about two sticks of incense, she arrived at the eldest lady's residence.
At this time, there was laughter and laughter in the eldest lady’s house.
Su Rong felt her tooth hurt when she heard it, so she stood outside the door and called, "Mother."
The room fell silent for a moment.
Satisfied, Su Rong opened the curtain and stepped into the room. When she saw it, the eldest lady was sitting in the center seat, surrounded by five or six young girls, all about the same age as her. They were all gorgeous and dressed like her. The dirty and untied appearance is a sharp contrast.
When they saw Su Rong, everyone had no expression on their faces, each one more numb than the other.
Su Rong knelt down in greeting, and without waiting for the eldest lady to call, she stood up automatically, ignored others, and walked straight to the eldest lady, letting her see the injury on her forehead clearly, "Mother, the Zhou family has not said that they will cancel the engagement. Even if the Zhou family comes to cancel the engagement, , if you see me with such a face, you won't be able to do it for me for the sake of the engagement. Lord Protector's Mansion, I heard that his family is very fierce, and a pair of gold scissors can also hit Where is the emperor, are you sure you don’t want to treat me?”
The eldest lady didn't seem to expect that the injury on her forehead was so serious. She was startled, and before she could recover, she suddenly became furious after hearing Su Rong's words, "You threaten me with the Protector's Palace? "
"My daughter doesn't dare. She just feels that whether she is a real wife or a concubine in the future, her face cannot be ruined."
The eldest lady was furious and pointed at her, "You have asked the doctor three times this month. You love fighting so much, why don't you get hurt? You injured your leg last time, so I will give you the doctor's consultation fee." One hundred taels. Last time, I sprained my arm. I took good medicine for half a month and spent a hundred taels. Now my face is injured again. If you don’t want to get scars on your face, don’t you have to use Ningzhi Jade Satin Cream? ?What’s the price of that medicine? It’s not like you don’t know? One bottle costs thousands of gold.”
Su Rong felt ashamed, "The dowry you prepared for me..."
The eldest lady became even more angry, "You have spent half of the dowry I prepared for you, and now you still have the nerve to pay for it?"
Su Rong whispered: "I can get into the sedan alone."
The eldest lady was almost angered to death, "It's unprecedented to be alone in a sedan chair. Do you want our prefect's mansion and me to be laughed at to death? Get out of here!"
Su Rong stood still and said, "Mom, my face needs treatment."
The eldest lady glared at her angrily, "Someone, drag her down here!"
Su Rong turned around and looked at the maid who was about to rush in from the door. She looked over and the maid couldn't help but take a step back. No one dared to step forward.
Miss Seven fights without her life. No matter who it is, if they offend her, they will beat her up. My arms and legs were small when I was three or five years old, and now they are almost ready for haircuts, which is equivalent to growing from childhood to adulthood. The beatings became more and more severe, and even the young master of the Duwei Mansion was beaten by her this morning. It's true that she injured her forehead, but the young master of the Duwei Mansion was almost beaten into a pig's head and disfigured. No one in this house dares to mess with her, especially those who are servants.
The eldest lady's order was not even as eye-catching as the seventh lady's. They were obedient and did not dare to step forward to drag her.
Although the eldest lady was used to seeing this scene, she was still so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Su Rong tremblingly, "Just be angry with me! Do you want to make me angry to death to be happy?"
"How could that be possible?" Su Rong turned around, shook her head, and said seriously: "Mother, you must live a long life. If you weren't famous for being so powerful, the captain's wife would be afraid of you and wouldn't dare to come to her door. , I don’t dare to hit the young master of the Duwei Mansion.”
The eldest lady almost fainted.
"Mom, please use my dowry to check my face and take your pulse. I think your self-cultivation has been poor recently and your temperament is too strong. You don't have the energy to cultivate your temperament before." Su Rongzai Lower body, this place became her home court at this time, and she said to the door, "Why don't you go and ask the doctor, the best doctor in Huichun Hall, and ask him to bring a bottle of condensed jade satin ointment."
The maids and women at the door all looked at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady covered her heart with a dark face. After a long while, she angrily uttered one word, "Get out!"
The maids and women understood and all retreated. Some immediately ran out of the house and ran to Hui Chun Hall.
Su Rong was satisfied, smiled, and reached out to hold the eldest lady's hand, "Mom, calm down, that bastard Chen Zhou is teasing me, and if I don't show him any shame, he still thinks that we people in the Prefect's Mansion are easy to bully. ."
The eldest lady shook off her hand and said, "How many fights have you had in these years? I helped you wipe your butt everywhere, spent money to eliminate disasters, and kept it hidden from others, so you have your current reputation. But who are you messing with? Go mess with Chen Zhou. Although Chen Duwei's house belongs to a branch of the Chen family, he is a branch of a wealthy family in the capital. How can he hide it and prevent it from spreading to the capital after beating him? How many times have I told you, my daughter's family Reputation is the most important thing, but you just don't listen. What kind of reputation is that for the Protector's Palace? Do you think if they heard about it, they would want a woman who makes trouble and loves to fight all day long? "
"Mom, isn't it widely spread outside that Young Master Zhou and the Young Prince of Ruian Palace fought over a woman? They both have a troublemaker in their own family, why should they dislike me?" Su Rong is a bachelor and doesn't take it seriously. Son, "Besides, I think this marriage will be ruined sooner or later. You should stop dreaming about climbing high. We can't afford it."
Madam: "..."
Such self-awareness really gave her a heart attack.
She had a look of hatred on her face, "You have such a face for nothing!"
She angrily educated Su Rong, "Today's most favored precious concubine, what others rely on is her face. Since you cherish your face, why can't you use it to climb high branches? If you can climb up, our family will still use it." Do you have to stay in this little shabby place in Jiangning?"
Su Rong rubbed her ears and sighed, "The precious concubine has no children. She is so pampered, right?"
The eldest lady stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, "I'll kill you. Why do you dare to say anything? Shut up. If you say this again, I'll kill you."
She turned her head and looked sharply at the people in the room, "I have forgotten what she just said. Do you hear me? If anyone spreads the word, I will kill them first."
The little sisters all nodded numbly in agreement, "Please remember my daughter, I have already forgotten."
It's not that they can't make other expressions, it's just that they, the little girl, have said this kind of thing too much over the years, and every time the eldest lady warns them to forget it.
The eldest lady let go of her hand. The precious concubine is dressed in rich clothes, rich in silks and satins. She is favored in the harem and controls the wind and rain. I dare to say that the precious concubine is pitiful. I really don't know what to say. Her heart ached and she pushed Su Rong away in disgust, "Get out of here."
