Come on, Your Highness

Liyang Princess Mansion,

"Young Madam, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Yun are here to pay their respects." Shao Yao opened the curtain and said to He Lingshan.

Jasmine was combing He Lingshan's hair, when she heard the words, "These two are unshakable, come to pay your respects every day."

He Lingshan opened her slightly closed eyes and said, "If you have children, you have to plan for them and let them wait."

Jasmine inserted the golden hairpin into He Lingshan's head, and said steadily, "Young Madam, it's done."

He Lingshan pursed her lips in front of the mirror, raised her hand enough for the hairpin, and stood up very smoothly.

As soon as He Lingshan came, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Yun saluted together: "Young Madam, hello."

"Why did you come so early? It's fine if you come. Qi Ran is still young, so let her sleep more."

After He Lingshan sat down, Zhan Shaoqi's two well-known concubines took half of the seats. Huang said: "Young lady is kind, but the child must not understand the rules. It is right for the mother to wake up in the morning .”

As she spoke, she pushed Zhan Qiran.

Zhan Qiran is Zhan Shaoqi's eldest daughter, she is five years old this year, she looks very cute, she walked up to He Lingshan, bent her knees and said: "Qiran has seen mother, please mother."

He Lingshan looked at her and said with a smile: "You are so cute, your mother taught her very well." Although she praised her, she didn't reach out to touch her.

Seeing this, Huang felt a little anxious. She bit her lips, and suddenly stood up and said humbly: "Young Madam, Miss is getting older, but my concubine's status is low and her vision is limited. If she stays with me all the time, it will really delay her. I don't have a good future in the future, young lady..."

Before Huang's words were finished, He Lingshan looked at her and said, "It's best for a daughter to be with her biological mother. Why bother to part with her family? Qi Ran is the first granddaughter of the eldest princess, and her future will naturally not be bad."

What He Lingshan said made Huang's eyes look disappointed.

Of course she didn't want to send her daughter to someone else to raise her, but what kind of status was she, a small unfavorable concubine, she was very different from He Lingshan.If she is confined by her side and not allowed to be raised by her aunt, who would want to marry a good family in the future?

What is the concubine's granddaughter of the eldest princess in the capital?

Now she is really envious of the Yun family. After giving birth to a son, she was taken away by the eldest princess. At least the future will not be bad.

However, the Yun family also had a hard time and couldn't tell. Once the eldest princess took her son away, it seemed that she had nothing to do with her, and she didn't even have a chance to see him.

But in fact, when Yun's son was born, the eldest princess wanted He Lingshan to be by her side, but He Lingshan didn't want it.

How much she wished that He Lingshan would agree, so that she could greet her every day and see her again.

The two originally thought that He Lingshan wanted to give birth to a child, but after all these years, her knees were still empty. The eldest princess asked her to raise Yun's son several times, but she still refused.

And Huang tried every means to send her daughter here, but He Lingshan remained indifferent.

Sometimes, these concubines couldn't figure out what the young lady was thinking.

Even if she has no children, she will not be miserable in her old age if she raises her sons and daughters well, but she is indifferent and doesn't want to get involved at all.

Even her husband, she didn't want to get in touch with her too much. As long as Zhan Shaoqi got involved with women, she had no objection whether they were good or bad, and they all stuffed them in the backyard.

The two had lived separately for many years, as if she didn't want to get involved with anyone or anything in the princess mansion.

But the more this is the case, the more peaceful these concubines are in front of He Lingshan, and the more afraid they are in their hearts.

Who is Zhan Shaoqi, as long as he has been in contact with him, he has been abused more or less, and not being favored is the best way to save his life.

Every year, there are always those fools who claim to be different and want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes to climb into his bed, but in the end they are either like them, like a pool of stagnant water, or they are licked by others, or... the flowers under the plum tree Ni, didn't even get a little bit of fame, it's God's favor to have children like Huang and Yun!

And He Lingshan is the wife of the main house, from Duke Wei's mansion, and the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage on her. Zhan Shaoqi didn't dare to hurt her even if he didn't get close to her.

These wandering concubines have to rely on someone, so they are respectful to He Lingshan, and the more children are born, the more responsible they are.

Seeing that He Lingshan was bringing tea to see off the guests, Yun suddenly said: "Young Madam, I heard that the one in Meikai Pavilion...was carried out last night..."

When He Lingshan heard this, she paused the hand holding the cup lid to shake the tea foam, but she didn't raise her head, and continued to drink as if nothing had happened.

Huang said cautiously: "Yesterday, she was fine at noon. I have been with the eldest young master for half a year. I thought I was going to take her as a concubine, but I didn't expect that..."

When she said this, Huang didn't know what it was like in her heart, she always felt panicked.

In which back house to be a concubine's room, people are all fighting for favor with their heads sharpened, but they are afraid that Zhan Shaoqi will remember it.

"Okay, the children are still here, don't mention this, please leave after peace." He Lingshan put down the teacup and said.

Yun Shi and Huang Shi had no choice but to get up, and took Zhan Qiran to salute He Lingshan before slowly retreating.

When she got to the door, He Lingshan suddenly said: "If Qiran is fine, it's good to come here for a walk."

Mrs. Huang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly turned around and kowtowed with her daughter, "Thank you, Young Madam."

As soon as they left, He Lingshan sighed softly.

Jasmine said: "Why is Miss suddenly wanting to get close to Miss Qiran?"

He Lingshan looked at the teacup and said: "I thought of me and my mother. After my father left, I lived with such care and fear. But Zhan Shaoqi..." Her face showed a sneer, "It is better to die for such a father. "

Jasmine remained silent.

"You will go back to the Duke's Mansion later. Mingrui suddenly came to the Princess Mansion. I don't know what's going on. Please ask her to find out what's going on?"

Jasmine took the lead.

At a later time, Jasmine came back and reported: "This servant told Madam, and Madam said that she will figure it out as soon as possible, so I can rest assured you."

He Lingshan pursed her lips, her eyes were gloomy: "These years, under the light of Xi Chao, Mingrui seems to have walked into a dead end, getting more and more desperate. I don't know what relationship he has with Zhan Shaoqi, he just came to see me yesterday , It’s just a formality, and I hope he won’t go further and further, and do something irreparable.”

"Probably not, now there is only Master Mingrui in the Duke's Mansion, and there is no one to fight for." Jasmine comforted.

He Lingshan sighed: "Yes, I hope he will live in peace and contentment, now that the Li family has collapsed, it's time to calm down."

Speaking of the Li family, Mo Li said: "Miss, madam said that the old lady of the Li family came here a few days ago, she was very neatly dressed, and the second lady gave a lot of things, I'm afraid it gave a lot of consideration."

He Lingshan frowned slightly: "Recently, I've heard that the Li family took out debts, and some of them lost a lot of money. Second Aunt's doing this is also her duty as a child."

"Could it be that Master Mingrui will follow suit and Eldest Young Master will also be involved?"

When Jasmine said this, He Lingshan felt that it was possible. Although Zhan Shaoqi had a tendency to abuse, if he wasn't really unhappy in his heart, he would not have killed him casually.

That maidservant had been with him for half a year, and she was thinking about raising a concubine before, but she suddenly killed her like this?

After thinking for a while, she got up and walked into the inner room, asked Jasmine to open the cage, and took out a box.

Jasmine watched as He Lingshan opened the box, counted out a stack of bank notes, and handed them to her.

Jasmine looked at the number and couldn't help wrinkling her face and said, "Miss..."

"Let's go now, Zhan Shaoqi must have paid for it, and he got dirty with Mingrui, and vented his anger on that maidservant! Anyway, Mingrui is also my younger brother. I watched him grow up. He is tight now, and I should do the same." help."

"Miss is still kind."

He Lingshan shook her head: "Although Li's family is to blame, it is the hand of Xi's downfall after all. As an older sister, I can't just stand by and watch. You can send the 1 taels to my second aunt, which is a little bit of my heart. Yesterday tomorrow Ruilai, I'm afraid I'm not ashamed to speak."

Jasmine sighed: "Yes, Madam has to relax when she sees your intention."

He Lingshan smiled and nodded: "Mother will still have to live in the Duke's mansion for the elderly in the future, so she can't do too much. Now that the crown prince's position is stable, he appreciates the rise and fall of the dynasty, and he is not afraid of the Duke's mansion being swayed. Family harmony is always the most important thing." .”

Jasmine nodded, and closed the box: "Speaking of which, Young Master Xichao is really promising. He can easily solve such a big matter. Everyone says that Young Master Xichao will become an elder before he reaches his twenties!"

Speaking of He Xichao, He Lingshan revealed joy from the bottom of her heart: "He has always been a man of small minds, and sooner or later he will get ahead. I am curious that all the noble daughters in the capital want to recruit him as a son-in-law. I don't know who will get the best in the end?"

"She must be a lady who is knowledgeable, sensible, and knowledgeable!" Jasmine affirmed.

He Lingshan also thought so. She glanced at Jasmine and urged: "Okay, hurry up, it's getting late, bring a few more people to accompany you."

Jasmine bowed, turned around and walked towards the door with the box in her hand, but there was an exclamation just as she reached the door.

"Ah—eldest young master—"

He Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, she stood up abruptly, walked quickly towards the door...then retreated into the room step by step.

In front of him, holding the box in his hand, Zhan Shaoqi walked in with a sinister smile on his face, and asked, "What's inside?"

He Lingshan backed away until her heels touched the stool before she stood still. Seeing Zhan Shaoqi's panic in her heart, she gradually calmed down. She raised her head with a blank expression: "What are you doing to me?"

Zhan Shaoqi looked at her pretending to be calm, opened the box directly in front of her, took out the banknotes inside, and said, "1 taels for the first shot, He Lingshan, your brother is right. The owner of the money really depends on you!"

He Lingshan was taken aback when he heard the words: "What did you say?"

"He Mingrui cheated me of 5 taels of silver. He couldn't get it out, so he asked me to come to you, saying that your mother is in charge of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and the money has flowed into your hands, and you have money." Zhan Shaoqi general The box was placed on the table.

He Lingshan was stunned, her face flushed immediately: "What nonsense!"

"I just thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it..." Zhan Shaoqi glanced at the eye box with an unfriendly expression, "But it's not enough, he owed me 5 taels, and he gave me 1 taels yesterday, and now it's still 3 taels short Two, madam."

He Lingshan couldn't believe her ears, she was angry and impatient: "Stop talking nonsense and spoiling the relationship between our siblings, how could Mingrui say that? Zhan Shaoqi, although I have no relationship with you as husband and wife, but I think I'm acting Correct, as a married woman, I can't do such despicable things as hugging my mother's money! You can't let me ruin my reputation!"

"Sibling love?" Zhan Shaoqi felt that he had heard a joke. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed He Lingshan's wrist, lowered his head and asked, "He Lingshan, who is your younger brother, not He Xichao? He Mingrui said that the entire Wei Guogong mansion Only your mother listened to you and didn't follow your advice. He Xichao easily earned tens of millions for the court, solved the border army's salary, and completely banned smuggling. He didn't tell you. Otherwise, how could your mother be indifferent to such a good opportunity to make money? ?”

He Lingshan's eyes were full of disbelief, and she felt that her heart had been stabbed hard.

She didn't want to believe the bastard Zhan Shaoqi's words, but if He Mingrui hadn't said it, who would have told him?

She has always felt that even if the relationship between her and He Mingrui's siblings fades, after all, blood is thicker than water, and they can help each other in need.

However, it was her wishful thinking after all, He Mingrui didn't regard her as her sister!

Moisture slowly appeared in He Lingshan's eyes, but his face turned cold: "Do you think that everyone is like you and only cares about the ill-gotten gains? The Li family deserved it, and you deserved it if you paid the money." Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, God has eyes!" She tugged on her wrist vigorously, but unfortunately, women and men were too weak in strength, and she couldn't break free at all.

Hearing this, Zhan Shaoqi's face twitched, his tyranny was revealed, and his chest heaved: "Don't talk about it with me, He Lingshan, I don't care about the He family, but I'm not mean to you, right? There is no one in the entire princess mansion. To provoke you, to confess you high, you should know whose daughter-in-law you are, but you didn't say a word, and you were very happy to see me fall into this pit?"

He Lingshan almost laughed angrily: "I've never seen such a brazen person like you, let go of my hand and get out!"

"Give me the silver!"

"No! I thought He Mingrui was pitiful, so I gave him 1 taels, but since he doesn't regard my sister as an enemy, then I'll just burn it, bury it, and tear it up, and I won't give him a cent!"

Zhan Shaoqi narrowed his eyes dangerously: "No?"

He Lingshan straightened her face: "No! Let go of my hand immediately, or I will call someone!"

"Calling someone?" Suddenly Zhan Shaoqi laughed, He Lingshan felt something was wrong, and was about to raise her hand to touch her head, but Zhan Shaoqi pulled out the golden hairpin from her head first and threw it out.

"Do you think I'm a fool? He Lingshan, I'm usually too lazy to touch you, so I really thought I'd be afraid of you fighting me hard?" Zhan Shaoqi said and dragged He Lingshan to the bed, "Today I'll teach you what a husband is a wife. How do you serve a man! By the way, you are still a young man, okay, let’s consummate the house today, once, you can’t do without a man, so please be obedient!”

He Lingshan heard these disgusting words, struggling desperately, kicking her hands and feet: "Get out, don't touch me! Zhan Shaoqi, you make me sick! Even if I've been a widow all my life, I don't want to see you!"

"Don't be stubborn, you will know the taste once you have fun."

Zhan Shaoqi dragged her to the bedside, He Lingshan's tears finally flowed down the corners of her eyes, her whole body was about to collapse, and she refused to do so.

"Let go of me, or I will hang myself at the gate of the princess mansion, and even a ghost will not let you go!"

The maidservants in the room heard the sound and ran in one after another, shouting: "Young Madam!" and came to stop it.

"Get out!" Zhan Shaoqi turned his head fiercely, "My lord wants to have sex with my wife, why, you have to stop it? Whoever dares to step in, fill in the pond for me!"

Zhan Shaoqi didn't know how many lives he had in his hands. He didn't take the lives of his servants seriously at all, so he could tell what he said.

For a while, quite a few people were stunned.

He threw He Lingshan onto the bed, then jumped on her and pulled her clothes.

He Lingshan's personal maids burst into tears one by one, so they rushed over desperately and grabbed Zhan Shaoqi.

"Let go of Miss!"

"Please let go of Miss!"

"Go away!" Zhan Shaoqi turned around and kicked a maid away.

Suddenly the back of his head felt cold, and he quickly turned his head to avoid it, a dagger was slashed across his arm, and he let go of his hand instantly in pain.

He Lingshan, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, held a dagger in her hand, curled herself up to face Zhan Shaoqi, her whole body was tense, her face was full of tears.

She pulled the dagger out from behind the pillow in a panic, and left it there just for this day.

She saw that Zhan Shaoqi's eyes were completely red, and when she was about to pounce on him again, she put the dagger on her neck.

The sharp blade pierced the skin, and the snow-white neck was instantly tinged with a dazzling blush. She shook her lips and said, "I'm not afraid of death..."

Zhan Shaoqi heaved and gasped, his face was extremely ferocious, and his mind was hot: "Then you will die!"

He Lingshan watched him walk in step by step, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face, and when he was about to stab him, he heard a shout: "Stop—"

But it was Liyang Princess who arrived.
