After returning to Xuezhiyuan, Tianying untied Fuyunqing's bun and said: "Today, the girl is giving the queen a purple jade. The servants looked at Zhou Yanran and Princess Su Zi and looked at you. I'm afraid that I will have to deal with you in the future. You are the enemy.”
"Yeah." Fuyunqing was expecting this.
"I heard that Concubine Yu's sister, Chen Ninglu, also wants to be a companion to the eldest princess." Tianying said worriedly, "What should we do? There are enemies everywhere on the road ahead. How about we show weakness and avoid disputes?"
"The eldest princess is loved by the queen and emperor. To be close to her is to be close to the whirlpool of power. If you are too weak, you will just sink to the bottom of the river with the whirlpool. If I show weakness, they will just step on my head. If I am strong, they will You can’t climb on top of me.”
"It's not like I always show my sharp edge everywhere. It's just that if I don't show my sharp edge when facing some people, I will only be preyed upon by the weak, bullied and crushed."
Didn't she restrain herself enough in her previous life?
But in exchange he was fooled and died miserably.
Tianying pondered for a moment, and seemed to agree with this, and then said: "The girl is approaching the eldest princess, but what do you want to gain?"
"Get closer to power and gain power." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Fu Yunqing's lips, and his eyes were far-reaching, as if he had a far-sighted vision across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"My parents have passed away, and I have a younger brother. As the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, I have to shoulder my responsibilities, restore the lintel of my family, and continue the glory. I want my parents to see in the heavens that their daughter is not a loser."
"Who said women can't honor their ancestors and support their families?"
"How about you find a high-ranking prince or prince to marry, and you will naturally win glory as the princess or princess. It will be much easier."
"I don't want to get married, I want to rely on myself."
…
New Year's Day.
Before getting up, Fu Yunqing wrapped herself in the quilt, opened her eyes and stared at the bed curtain, thinking about what she had to do in the near future.
Before she could finish her thoughts, Mei Fu knocked on the door and called, "Miss, are you awake? Third aunt and grandma returned home to visit her relatives and are talking to the old lady in the Buddhist hall."
"woke up."
Fu Yunqing stood up from the bed, sat in the dressing mirror, and let Mei Fu dress herself up.
Others can be invisible, but third aunt cannot be invisible.
Third aunt is the best relative to her besides her mother and father.
He would make soup, cakes, and sew new clothes for her. After she disappeared in her previous life, he even searched for her for a while.
However, she personally sent the old lady to the Buddhist hall. Will the third aunt treat her as well as she did before?
Fuyunqing was worried and came to the Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist Hall of General Mansion is not big, but it is definitely not small either. It has a garden, two east and west wing rooms, a main hall and the main room.
At the entrance of the Buddhist hall, two nuns sent by the queen were on duty.
Without the queen's permission, the old lady will not be allowed to enter the Buddhist hall in this life.
"Help the girl." The two nuns saluted her.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Please try the pastries from Zuixiangju."
Fu Yunqing took the two food boxes from Tianying and gave one to each person.
The two nuns took the food box, lowered their wrists, and they immediately smiled even more happily: "Thank you, girl! Happy New Year, girl!"
Fu Yunqing smiled back and led Meifu Tianying into the Buddhist hall. Before entering the main hall, he heard voices inside.
"Yun'er, you have to make the decision for your mother! That Fuyunqing was so lawless that he indirectly imprisoned me in a Buddhist hall and left me alive. How pitiful was I?!"
The old lady concealed her anger, "Your husband is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is very likely to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War by the end of the year. You can think of a way to put in a good word for me in front of the Queen. I can't be trapped in this small Buddhist hall for the rest of my life. Bar?"
Fu Yunqing's expression changed slightly and he stopped behind the moon cave door.
Then I heard Third Aunt Fuyun say: "Mother! This is what you did wrong!"
"How could you allow your second wife to covet the big family property? Where did you put Brother Hexiao? Didn't Brother Hexiao be filial enough to you and take care of your second wife during his lifetime?"
"Do you really think that Brother Hexiao didn't know that the second roommate had embezzled public accounts all those years? He always turned a blind eye! I wanted to care about family ties, but I don't want you to get worse!"
"The second sister-in-law and second brother are so evil-hearted, they dare to poison Ziheng! If I were there at that time, I would be more cruel than Yun Qing. If they fall into my hands, they will not be exiled to the cold land. End!"
Mrs. Fu suddenly stood up, slapped Fuyun hard, and cursed angrily:
"Brother Hexiao, do you really think I don't know your thoughts? Fu Hexiao is just an adopted son! Your brother is Fu Ting! Your nephew is Fu Xingye!"
"You rip-off thing! I gave birth to you, you white-eyed wolf, in vain! I knew it was useless to have a daughter. If I had known, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"
Fuyun was slapped so hard that her cheeks were slightly tilted, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and even a few strands of her bun were loose:
"My mother has been partial to Fu Ting since she was a child, but Fu Ting has been exiled to an extremely cold place. If you still want to enjoy your old age, you can only rely on me, a white-eyed wolf. Seeing that you are full of energy and have strong physical strength, if you want to be healthy, then My daughter won’t accompany me anymore!”
"you you you--"
"It's all evil! Damn white-eyed wolf!"
"Why aren't you the ones who die?"
Mrs. Fu was so angry that she fell down on her chair and breathed rapidly.
Fuyun raised her hand, straightened her messed up hair, and when she walked all the way to the door of the Moon Cave, she saw Fuyunqing.
She was stunned for a moment, then pulled Fu Yunqing and walked out of the Buddhist hall: "There is no need to visit your grandmother, she will not remember you well."
Fuyunqing heard all the words Fuyun said to defend Fuyunqing in her heart.
Originally, Fuyunqing came to the Buddhist temple not to see Mrs. Fuyun, but to see Fuyun.
Fuyun took Fuyunqing to the ancestral hall, looked at the Fuhexiao spiritual tablet enshrined above, her eyes turned red, she picked up the silk and gently wiped the tablet: "Your father passed away without leaving a word. "
"It's pitiful that you siblings have suffered such a crime. Yun Qing, you too, why didn't you write to me and tell me what the second wife did?"
"Third Aunt... I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"No need to cause trouble. You are Hexiao's daughter. I treat you as my own. From childhood to adulthood, I love you as if you were my own daughter." After Fuyun wiped the tablet, she looked at it with tender care. She said, "In my heart, you are more important than Jingshu."
Jingshu is Fuyun's daughter.
"If Jing Shu hears what Aunt said, my cousin will be jealous and angry." Fu Yunqing held Fu Yun's elbow and said with a smile, "Aunt finally returned home and had lunch at Xuezhiyuan today. Bar."
Fuyun was holding her elbow and suddenly hissed in pain subconsciously.
Fu Yunqing noticed something was wrong and asked, "Third Aunt, is your elbow injured?"
"No, no." Fuyun shook her head.
Before Fuyun could dodge, Fuyunqing rolled up her sleeves, revealing large bruises and whip wounds on her elbows.
Fu Yunqing's beautiful eyes turned cold: "Third uncle, will you still beat you and Jing Shu now?"
"There are very few beatings." Fuyun's face suddenly lost all blood, as if her strong disguise had been broken, and she sighed,
"He doesn't hit us as much as before. He used to hit us whether he was drinking or not, but now he hits me only when he is drinking."
