On the way to Qin Fanghao's courtyard, Qingzhi said angrily: "If you give a betrothal gift based on the concubine's share, that's a full thirty-two betrothal gifts. Princess, you won't stop me! Then they will be in the limelight again!"
Qin Rushuang was funny: "You, the emperor, don't worry about the eunuchs. Don't worry, she won't be in the limelight."
When she went to Qin Fanghao's courtyard, she was embroidering a red mandarin duck handkerchief.
Qin Rushuang took a look at the small courtyard. The furniture was all newly made, and every decoration looked low-key, but in fact it was very valuable. It was not much different from the courtyard of her legitimate daughter.
It seems that the father really loves this mother and daughter.
"Sister." Qin Fanghao stood up and saluted.
"Sit down, why don't you embroider the wedding dress? Didn't I see that you haven't finished embroidering it before I got married?"
Qin Fang's hand that was good at threading the needle paused, and his face turned a little pale: "Sister, I'm just kidding, my maid is my favorite... If I need any wedding clothes, I'll wrap them in red cloth and enter the house."
"Don't worry, it won't happen like that." Qin Rushuang said calmly.
"Sister?" Qin Fanghao's eyes rose with hope.
"You don't even deserve the red cloth."
Qin Rushuang's voice was cold, and she picked up the half-embroidered red mandarin duck handkerchief on the table and looked at it.
Looking at Qin Fanghao, who looked a little uneasy next to her, Qin Rushuang slowly let go, and the red handkerchief fell to the ground: "The rules of the palace are that no one is allowed to use red except me."
"How can there be such a rule in the palace?! If you are not a sister, you cannot tolerate others!" Qin Fanghao finally changed his expression, put away the respect and anxiety he had pretended to be, and stood up with an "ooh" and looked at Qin Rushuang.
"What? No more pretending? No more playing sisterly games with me?"
As her younger sister, she always pretended to be pitiful and charming in front of others. In the past, Qin Rushuang suffered a lot of hidden losses at her hands because of her impatience.
Unexpectedly, Qin Fang suddenly became discouraged, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "My lord has always liked me. I know that my sister is humiliating me like this because she asked for something but couldn't get it. But what's the point of humiliating me now? I'll wait."
Prince’s Mansion…”
"I am so vicious. When you enter the palace, you will be punished by me, the princess." Qin Rushuang interrupted her.
How stupid was she in her previous life to be forced into a desperate situation by such a concubine?
It’s also her fault that she loved Xie Xun so much in her previous life that she naturally had weaknesses. Now that she is reborn, do she still think she is the same Qin Rushuang?
"Sister..." Qin Fanghao's eyes clearly flashed with malice, and then he suddenly knelt aside in the next second: "It doesn't matter if my sister teases me, it's my life. Who said I'm just a concubine?"
…”
Qin Rushuang held her forehead and did this again. No wonder he invited her over in a hurry.
You don't need to think about it to know that Xie Xun must have come in behind you.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw Xie Xun's face was ugly, and I didn't know how much he had heard.
He walked over in two steps and gently helped Qin Fanghao up. He didn't give Qin Rushuang any look. Instead, he carefully lifted up Qin Fanghao who was kneeling on the ground: "It's cold in the winter? Come in quickly!"
After speaking, she looked at Qin Rushuang with disgust: "She hasn't entered the house yet, why did you bother to chase her here and humiliate her!"
Even though she had been mentally prepared, Qin Rushuang's heart still tightened when she heard the person she once liked scolding her like this, with disgust in her eyes.
"My lord! It's obviously the second young lady..." Qingzhi wanted to explain.
"Shut up! Qingzhi! No more words!"
Qin Rushuang turned around to prevent him from seeing the flash of vulnerability in her eyes, and clenched her hands tightly into fists under her robe: "Didn't the prince already know who I am? Why bother to say more."
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Then, welcome to the house in three days, my good sister."
After Qin Rushuang finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the yard, and in a panic, she bumped into a little maid carrying pastries.
Before she could speak, the little maid had already knelt down in fear: "Miss, have mercy on me! Miss, have mercy on me!"
Qin Rushuang is funny, she thinks she never beats or scolds her servants without any reason, why are all of them afraid of her.
The little girl looked sullen, probably because she was not taken seriously, and she kept her head down, but this voice...
"You, look up and show me!"
The little maid shuddered and slowly raised her head.
The face of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old was full of fear.
Qin Rushuang suppressed the turmoil in her heart and ordered: "Go to the kitchen and make the same one again. Don't tell me that you spilled it, so that the second lady will not embarrass you."
The little girl was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Miss!"
Watching the little maid leave, Qin Rushuang's tight grip slowly loosened. This little maid was obviously Zhu'er who served her before her death in her previous life!
She was in decline at that time, and in the palace of the dignified princess, there were only one personal maid, Qingzhi, and a little maid, Zhu'er, who had just been sold into the palace.
Why is Zhuer suddenly in the general's mansion? Could it be that in the previous life...
In her previous life, she vaguely felt that her body was declining too quickly, but at that time she lost her beloved son and had no will to survive. Now that she thought about it, Qin Fanghao might have been involved in her death.
If this is the case, it seems that this good sister cannot be underestimated.
Putting aside the doubts in her heart, Qin Rushuang went to see Mrs. Qin alone.
"It's all my fault that my mother failed to live up to expectations and couldn't compete with the Liu family, which is why you suffered this kind of injustice!"
"Mom! Why are you crying again!" Qin Rushuang wiped away Mrs. Qin's tears: "Don't worry, neither of them can get away with it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin hesitated and said, "But if the prince really hires her as a concubine, and there is no dowry, will it harm the reputation of the general's palace?"
Qin Rushuang sighed in her heart, her mother was indeed soft-hearted.
Her father had doted on his wife and eliminated his concubines, and her mother was still thinking of the general's mansion wholeheartedly.
"Stop talking about this, I have my own solution. By the way, where is my little brother?"
Speaking of her youngest son, Mrs. Qin's face turned ugly: "You know, your brother is weak and likes to study, but our family is full of military generals. Your father forces him to go to the military camp all day long, and mother doesn't know how he is doing.
Okay, okay, but every time Xiu Mu comes back, she doesn’t look very happy..."
Her younger brother Qin Rufeng was weak since he was a child. He liked literature but not martial arts, and was not liked by her father. Therefore, he died tragically in the army after being rejected in his previous life.
"Mom, don't be anxious. Just ask your brother to bear with it. If he really likes studying, there is a way to find an opportunity for him to get a degree in the future."
Although Qin Rushuang said so, she actually just wanted her brother to be safe.
When she was reborn, what she wanted to protect most was her younger brother, mother, and the fetus in her belly.
My younger brother is far away in the military camp, and it will still be some time before something happens to him, so there is no rush.
However, Qin Fanghao, the culprit, is safest if he keeps it under his nose.
"Don't worry, mother, I will take care of my little brother's matter. There is also the matter of the General's Mansion... The prince has already given his father face by hiring him as a concubine. As for the reputation of the General's Mansion... I will not give others a chance to smear it.
of."
Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes. She would not give others a chance to discredit the general's mansion, but she would not give General Qin a chance to gain face.
It doesn't matter if Xie Xun is willing to show Qin Fang's face, there are many things in the inner house that Xie Xun cannot take care of.
The mother and daughter talked in detail for a while, and when they were about to leave in the afternoon, the servant said that the prince had already left.
Qin Rushuang was not upset, and went back to the palace after saying goodbye to Mrs. Qin.
And the first thing she did when she returned to the house was to call the housekeeper and open the warehouse...
It's night, the palace of the general protecting the country.
Qin Fanghao was just about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when he suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel coming from the front yard.
"Linglong, what happened in the front yard?" Qin Fanghao asked, rubbing his temples.
"Miss, I don't know, but I vaguely heard Aunt Liu's voice. Would you like me to go and have a look?" Linglong replied respectfully.
Qin Fanghao sat up and said, "That's all, I'll go take a look too."
In the front yard, Aunt Liu was wearing a big cloak and was having a stalemate with a few people dressed as servants. Her hair was messy and she didn't have time to straighten her clothes.
General Qin also looked ugly.
"Father, aunt, what's going on?"
"Come and take a look! Your sister is really bullying me!" Aunt Liu's face became even more sad when she saw her daughter coming.
"More exposed, why are the people from the palace here?" Qin Fang took a quick look and saw that these people were all wearing the clothes of the servants of Prince Huai's palace.
"On the order of the princess, I will give a dowry to the second young lady who has not yet passed the wedding."
The servant at the head was neither humble nor overbearing, followed by several sedans carrying sedans full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Qin Fang forced himself to raise his lips: "It's not yet the day for me to enter the house, and it's so late at night, why did you choose this time to send the betrothal gift?"
But the servant just bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I'm just here on the order of the princess. I can't say anything else."
So it was all Qin Rushuang’s idea?
Qin Fanghao felt a little angry: "How can anyone send a dowry in the middle of the night? This is unreasonable, so I can't accept it!"
Aunt Liu also interjected: "That's right! Carry it back quickly! Otherwise, if the prince finds out, you will reap the benefits!"
The servant was threatened, but he was not upset, and said sternly: "This princess has said that if the general's palace does not accept the betrothal gift today, it will be regarded as the second lady not wanting to marry, and refusing to marry in defiance of the decree. I don't know if the second lady does not want to marry."
Miss, do you have such courage?"
"You! Rebellion! Rebellion! You bastard!" General Qin's beard trembled with anger.
