Preferring boys over girls
An Ning remembered who this girl was.
In the first life, when she met this girl, she appeared as Xu Chao's concubine. At that time, when she was laughed at at the banquet, this girl even comforted her. Later, I heard
The news about this girl was that after Xu Chao married the Ninth Princess as his wife, the Ninth Princess stripped Xie Nan, who was Xu Chao's concubine, in the street and beat her to death.
She had never seen it with her own eyes, but there were rumors like this on the streets at that time.
If she hadn't met Xie Nan tonight, once Xie Nan was taken back by those servants...
Ruan Qingcheng was shocked and speechless.
"Why? Although Yushi Zhongcheng is only a fifth-rank official, his legitimate daughter will not be sent to be a concubine."
She can understand even the concubine. This being a concubine is too exaggerated. How can there be such parents in the world?
"It's for my brother's career. My brother can't study well, so my family wants to make him a school captain. The Prime Minister's Mansion has also agreed. As long as I am willing to marry him as a concubine, they will help this
busy."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone to burn the incense stick. I went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense a few days ago, and I was attracted by Xu Chao. At first, Xu Chao was very kind and wanted me to join the house as a side chamber, but
I didn't want to. Because he rejected him, he got angry and made a deal with my father, and the condition was that he let me into the house as his concubine."
"It's too much!" Ruan Qingcheng stood up angrily, "It's too much. How can you sacrifice your daughter just because you are your legitimate son?"
An Ning also had a cold look in her eyes. In this life, she would not watch Xie Nan follow the same path as in her previous life.
"You can stay in the mansion first. Don't worry, Xu Chao may not be lucky enough to marry you in this life."
Xie Nan was stunned, "But Miss An, the Prime Minister's Mansion is backed by the Queen. If he knows that you have taken me in, he will definitely cause trouble for the General's Mansion."
"Let him find it. I want to see what he has done."
It was late at night, and An Ning asked Yue Shi to prepare a side room for her to live in.
Only Ruan Qingcheng and An Ning were left in this garden.
"Aning, it's related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, what are your plans?"
"It's easy to deal with Miss Xie's father. As long as her brother's career is blocked, Xie Zhongcheng won't dare to mess around. However, if you don't use Xu Chao, it will be useless if you don't use it."
"It's just... Once this happens, Miss Xie's family will inevitably be implicated. It depends on whether Miss Xie will soften her heart. If Miss Xie is not found today, Xie Zhongcheng will definitely visit the General's Mansion tomorrow if nothing unexpected happens. I will ask again then.
Thanks for your opinion, girl."
Ruan Qingcheng nodded, "Some parents, it's better not to have them than not to have them."
In this world, boys are favored in many places. There have always been only baby girls but not boys. Girls have always been sacrificed for the future of their brothers and sisters.
Xie Nan in her previous life remembered that after her humiliating death, in order to appease the censor Zhongcheng, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Ninth Princess not only promoted his legitimate son everywhere, but even had a smooth official career themselves.
It’s not that I won’t report it, it’s that the time has not yet come.
Rumble——
Rumble——
There was another night of lightning and thunder. When An Ning woke up in the morning, the yard was full of leaves that had been knocked down by the rain, which showed how heavy the rain was yesterday.
"Do you know why I called you here so early in the morning?" She stood at the door of her room, looking at the pouring rain.
The weather is cold enough, cold enough to wake people up.
"Miss An..." Xie Nan was a little at a loss.
"Your father and mother will probably come to pay a hurried visit to the general's residence in a while."
Xie Nan's eyes turned red instantly. All she thought in her mind was that she couldn't hide no matter how hard she tried. She closed her eyes and made up her mind: "Ms. An, please hand me over. I will say that I followed Miss An shamelessly."
The one who came back has nothing to do with Miss An."
An Ning looked at the girl in front of her, her eyes could not be redder, and her eyes were full of despair.
"Miss Xie, do you still have expectations for your family?"
Xie Nan looked at her confused and choked up: "What...what do you mean?"
An Ning sighed, she is such a simple girl.
"If Miss Xie still has expectations for her family, this kind of thing will happen again. I can save Miss Xie once, but I can't save Miss Xie every time."
Can you save her?
"Miss An... Miss An, you said you could save me."
An Ning did not answer her question but continued to ask: "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for your family? Will you finally compromise and marry Xu Chao as your concubine?"
Almost without thinking, "No...I don't want to."
If she wanted to, she wouldn't have tried every possible means to escape.
Thinking of what her father said to her, as long as Xie Cheng succeeds in his career, she, as a sister, will have someone to rely on. Sooner or later, the Prime Minister's Office will promote her to be his concubine, and he will definitely not wrong her.
Her grandmother also said that she was ignorant. How could she be so selfish for her younger brother's career? Marrying anyone was not a marriage. Moreover, marrying the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Palace was considered too high.
Even her mother came to persuade her. Although she was a concubine, there was nothing they could do about it. Who made Xie Cheng unable to study and pass the civil service examination? Finally, the Prime Minister's Office was willing to bridge the gap.
"No!" She took two steps back and said firmly: "No, I don't want to."
An Ning couldn't help but nodded, "Very good! It's okay if you don't want to."
"Do you want to get back at them?"
Xie Nan was stunned, "Retaliation? How...how to take revenge?"
"Losing their most important things, such as...the official career of their legitimate son, or...your father's official position."
Xie Nan froze on the spot. She just didn't want to get married, but she never thought about revenge.
An Ning doesn't necessarily need an answer now.
"Your parents will come over later. You can meet them. Don't worry, I will protect you. No one in the General's Mansion can take you away."
Sure enough, at this time, a servant informed that Xie Zhongcheng and his wife came to visit.
An Ning asked them to go to the front hall.
Xie Zhongcheng and his wife Wang were sitting in the front hall. Wang was obviously a little anxious.
"Master, you said that Nan'er doesn't agree. What if she tells Miss An about this? Wouldn't that affect Cheng'er's career?"
Xie Zhongcheng was worried about this matter, he just hoped that his daughter would not be ignorant.
"Madam, she just told Miss An. Miss An is just a girl waiting to be married, so what can she do? Besides, Nan'er has no interaction with Miss An on weekdays, so she doesn't have to go there for Nan'er.
Offend the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Mrs. Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "That's fine, that's fine, as long as it doesn't affect Cheng'er's career. That dead girl is also true. The Xie family has raised her for more than ten years, and it's time to
