Princess Ruan, who was sitting next to her, looked like a defeated peacock, lowering her head and suddenly started crying.
"Little Princess Li said this. Could it be that she dislikes our Prince Ruan's residence for living here and crowding into your Prince Li's residence? Now there is no one in charge of Prince Qi's residence, and our Prince Ruan's residence is a guest from afar. There are no regulations regarding Prince Qi's residence.
No, there are things to report every day in the capital, what ideas can we come up with? After all, we are just guests."
"There are laws and regulations in the capital. If the people violate the laws and regulations, they have their own yamen to take care of the matter. They will not come to the Qi Prince's Mansion."
Hua Jin continued to drink tea and slowly interacted with Princess Ruan.
"You people from Prince Ruan's Mansion can live in Prince Qi's Mansion with peace of mind. The house is so big and you only have more than 500 people, so feel free to live there."
Faced with her unhurriedness, Princess Ruan was speechless for a moment, but Mrs. Yu sneered, sat up straight, and said sternly:
"For those who don't know, you might think that the person in charge of Prince Qi's Mansion is Princess Xiaoli of the North. What's the matter, I and Princess Ruan came to visit Prince Qi's concubine today, but it's Princess Xiaoli who is taking care of Prince Qi's concubine.
Concubine, what are you talking about?"
As soon as the words fell, the hall became extremely quiet. Princess Ruan's eyes showed fear, and she turned her head to look at Madam Yu, hinting that Madam Yu should not provoke Hua Jin.
But Mrs. Yu has never seen Hua Jin’s power. She has never seen Hua Jin beat anyone to death, so she still has a fearless spirit and only said:
"Did I say it wrong? This is King Qi's Courtyard, not King Li's Courtyard."
"This lady!"
Hua Jin put down the tea cup, stood up, stood in front of Mrs. Yu and Princess Ruan with a colorful light, and asked:
"Is there a royal decree? Where will my husband's family be an official?"
Princess Ruan's heart felt cold and she hurriedly replied:
"This is my concubine's aunt."
"As a civilian woman, you really need to teach me a lesson by talking to me with such an attitude."
Hua Jin stood with her hands behind her hands, and she was wearing a lot of phoenixes. Compared with Princess Ruan, who was slightly embarrassed, she had few pieces of jewelry on her body.
But a person's aura is not created by stacking gold, silver and jade objects at all.
But Mrs. Yu had no eyesight. Although she married into the richest family, she was also raised in a boudoir by the Yu family. She only said in a strange way:
"Lao Shen's daughter is also a princess. In terms of seniority, Princess Ruan is still Princess Xiao Li's aunt. There is nothing wrong with Lao Shen's attitude. It's just a case-by-case basis. Not to mention that Princess Ruan shouldn't make the decision in this Prince Qi Courtyard. Prince Xiao Li wants to
It’s not up to Princess Li to make the decision when it comes to taking concubines.”
"Really? My princess cannot be my master. Even my mother-in-law has never said this to me. Instead, she said it through an old pious woman who didn't want to do it. It's a new thing.
Son."
A majestic male voice came from outside the hall.
All three people in the hall looked over, and it was Li Yunqing who was wearing a black embroidered brocade robe, walking in.
"I've met little Prince Li."
Princess Ruan and Mrs. Yu hurriedly saluted, and Hua Jin bent her knees symbolically to give Li Yunqing some face in front of outsiders.
Normally, she would not salute Li Yunqing.
Li Yunqing didn't want her to salute him either.
Prince Xiao Li entered the hall, held Hua Jin's hand, and sat down with her.
Mrs. Yu opened her mouth to complain. Today she happened to meet Prince Xiao Li. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She must tell Prince Xiao Li about Hua Jin's murder of Yu Jiajia.
In Mrs. Yu's view, Hua Jin's refusal to let Yu Jiajia enter Prince Li's Mansion was the main reason why Yu Jiajia suffered from delusional disorder.
As a result, just as Mrs. Yu opened her mouth, Li Yunqing's sharp eyes fell on Mrs. Yu, and his voice was full of majesty,
"Where did this bastard come from? He didn't kneel down when he saw me."
Two Shence Army soldiers wearing silver armor walked in. With this move, they lifted Mrs. Yu up, pressed her to the ground, and kowtowed three times to Li Yunqing and Hua Jin each.
"Dong dong dong", there was a sound of forehead touching the ground. After each kowtow three times, that is, six times, Mrs. Yu's forehead was already dripping with blood.
Hua Jin raised her eyebrows, pursed her red lips and said nothing. She was not used to others kowtowing to her.
Princess Ruan, who was sitting next to her, had already knelt down in fear and shouted at Li Yunqing who was full of murderous aura,
"Little Prince Li, Little Prince Li doesn't want it...she is my grandma..."
No matter what, she is still a princess, and she still has to have the dignity she deserves, but this little Prince Li is even more unkind than Hua Jindu.
But what did Princess Ruan think when her mother was pinned to the ground by two soldiers and saluted like this?
Li Yunqing looked cold and signaled Shence Jun to let go of Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu knelt on the ground dizzy, but she still didn't forget to complain.
"Prince Xiao Li, spare your life. It's my fault. I'm really angry. Our second young lady of the Yu family is very passionate about Prince Xiao Li and wants to marry Prince Xiao Li as his concubine. However, she has been repeatedly blocked by Princess Xiao Li. It's because of my poor health.
The situation was so urgent that it was Princess Li who covered the sky with only one hand. Just like that, my little daughter went crazy. She did it all just to be with the prince..."
"It's about this again!"
Li Yunqing became impatient and said angrily:
"How shameless do you, the Yu family, think that Yu Jiajia can enter the palace of Prince Li, who is pregnant with another man's child? If I had known you were so difficult to deal with, I should have asked Sun Guogong to take you, the second young lady, away.
You don’t have to entangle me and waste my time and energy.”
Regarding Yu Jiajia's wishful thinking, Li Yunqing had already seen and heard about it last time. After all, Yu Jiajia was really crazy. He thought that the Yu family at least had some self-knowledge.
It turned out that not only Yu Jiajia was crazy, but Mrs. Yu was also crazy.
Mrs. Yu lay on the ground, took two steps on her knees, and said eagerly:
"No, no, we will find a way to get rid of the child in Jiajia's belly. What the Yu family means is that as long as the prince is willing to accept her, the Yu family is willing to give half of the family property to make a dowry for Jiajia.
"
Princess Ruan couldn't help but be shocked when she suddenly dropped such a bombshell news.
Just listen to Princess Ruan scream:
"Aniang!"
The Yu family only had two daughters, she and Yu Jiajia. Princess Ruan's life was so simple now. For the first time in her life, she was surrounded by servants begging for wages.
Even so, Mrs. Yu did not come up with any money and paid her wages for her.
Instead, he took advantage of her being dizzy and pawned most of her head and face jewelry.
Princess Ruan had some resentment in her heart, and when she heard Mrs. Yu say that she was willing to give half of the Yu family's wealth to Yu Jiajia as a dowry, as long as King Xiao Li was willing to accept Yu Jiajia, Princess Ruan was completely unbalanced.
The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. How could I do this?
How could this be?
Princess Ruan stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Yu's sleeve, trying to reason with her, but Mrs. Yu threw Princess Ruan's hand away.
She just wanted Li Yunqing to accept Yu Jiajia now, so before she could talk about it, Li Yunqing stood up and said,
"I don't know what to say. I don't want to bother with you, so I'll just throw you out."
Another group of Shence soldiers came over and held up the arms of Madam Yu and Princess Ruan. No matter how they struggled and shouted, they were thrown out of King Qi's Courtyard without any mercy at all.
He directly beat these two pampered women to pieces.
Princess Ruan got up from the ground and didn't care about anything else. She just grabbed Mrs. Yu's sleeve and said,
"Aniang, didn't you say you didn't bring much money with you when you came out? Where did you get Jiajia's dowry now? Aniang, look at my daughter, what kind of life is your eldest daughter living like now? Ah, why don't you feel sorry for me?"
"I don't feel sorry for you yet? Count it for yourself, how much money have you taken from your parents' family in the past few years?"
Mrs. Yu's face was covered with blood, and she started to cry and beat Princess Ruan.
"Son, your Prince Ruan's Mansion is a bottomless pit. It's no better than before. Look at Prince Ruan and Prince Xiao Li. If you compare the momentum of these two men, you can only give Jiajia to Xiao Li desperately. Wang, our family has a chance to turn around."
Do you think Mrs. Yu is stupid? When facing Hua Jin, she is really not good at reading people's faces, she just looks stupid.
But at this time, she thought very clearly.
King Ruan is just an embroidered pillow, an Adou who cannot be supported. If you give money to King Ruan at this time, the Yu family will be brought down by this man.
But King Xiao Li is different from King Ruan. King Xiao Li has soldiers in his hands and is a victorious army. Only by marrying King Xiao Li can the Yu family have a chance to escape from the difficulties in Hushan County.
If the Yu family has any money left, it should be spent wisely and given to King Xiao Li in the form of dowry to help him recruit troops and horses to conquer Hushan County. It is better than spending it randomly on King Ruan.
Princess Ruan was crying and still not convinced, but after Mrs. Yu's sincere words, she finally stopped making trouble.
I just choked with sobs and sat in the carriage and asked Mrs. Yu,
"But Auntie, you have just seen King Xiao Li's attitude. He is not willing to marry Jiajia at all. How can our Yu family marry King Xiao Li?"
"If he doesn't want to marry, why doesn't he hate the child in your second sister's belly?"
Mrs. Yu wiped the blood on her face with a ferocious look on her face.
"As long as the child is gone and we send Jiajia away, for the sake of the dowry, how can Prince Li not be tempted?"
As she said that, Mrs. Yu laughed again,
"I have inquired about it. They are in the poor mountains and rivers of the North. Even if the ground is full of mines, King Xiao Li has not been back in the North for long and has no time to mine. His family is not rich yet, and he has to cultivate his energy and cultivate the army. We also have to maintain the city army, and there are also many people who have fled into the north. These require money to support, so King Li will definitely be short of money."
This knowledge gave Mrs. Yu great confidence.
It's fine as long as Li Yunqing is short of money. Even if he is short of money, even if he has a strong heart, he will still be shaken when faced with half of the Yu family's wealth.
"When he rescues your father and drives Sun Guogong out of Hushan County, your Prince Ruan Mansion will be able to return to your own fiefdom. You have such a powerful brother-in-law, what will Prince Ruan do to you?"
Mrs. Yu patted Princess Ruan's hand and said earnestly:
"Therefore, son, you have to keep an eye on the current situation and don't blindly give Prince Ruan any more money. We can no longer afford it."
Princess Ruan felt sad in her heart. Although she was still very unbalanced, she did not refute A Niang's words.
Indeed, I really can’t afford it.
The mother and daughter were planning to remove the child from Yu Jiajia's belly as soon as they returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, and then let Yu Jiajia rest for a few days before sending it directly to Li Yunqing.
There is no need to pay attention to status, and there is no need to talk about ostentation. At this moment, as long as Li Yunqing is willing to accept Yu Jiajia, then the rest will be discussed.
Finally, when I returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, I saw Prince Ruan running around the courtyard with disheveled hair.
Princess Ruan was startled and asked the maid serving Prince Ruan,
"My lord, what's going on?"
"My aunt stole all the prince's treasures and pawned them, and then ran away with the children."
The girl reported in a low voice that none of the treasures collected by King Ruan over the years were left, and they were all stolen by the aunt.
So early this morning, King Ruan found out about this. He couldn't bear the blow for a while, and he was crying and fussing until now.
Both Princess Ruan and Mrs. Yu were very surprised. Although Prince Ruan spent money excessively and often bought some worthless things, most of them were quite valuable.
If it were really calculated, King Ruan's treasures could be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold.
Was it all taken away by King Ruan's concubine?
For a moment, Princess Ruan and Mrs. Yu were very confused. If they had known this, they might not have had to pawn Princess Ruan's jewelry last time and just steal Prince Ruan's treasures and exchange them for money. They did it more covertly. Prince Ruan also
Won't know.
"My beloved concubine!"
The disheveled King Ruan discovered that Princess Ruan was back. He trotted to Princess Ruan and held her hand.
"My beloved concubine, hurry up and redeem those treasures for me. The concubine you found for me should also be captured quickly. I will beat her to death, beat her to death!"
He gritted his teeth with hatred, that concubine was a bitch, she was so submissive to him on the surface and deceived his trust, but secretly she cheated all his treasures.
Too cheap.
But because he was angry, all of King Ruan's treasures were pawned in the pawn shop in the capital of Guqi Prefecture. Because the concubine was in a hurry to exchange money, they were all pawned for cheap. If they want to redeem them now, they can still be redeemed.
As time went by, those priceless guqin scores, rare stones, ancient musical instruments, etc., would flow out of the imperial capital of Guqi Prefecture.
When the time comes, it will take more money and energy to find them one by one.
He looked at Princess Ruan eagerly and asked Princess Ruan to get him money.
But Princess Ruan didn't speak, she just looked at Prince Ruan with a troubled face and pursed her lips.
King Ruan looked at Madam Yu again. He understood and hurriedly saluted Madam Yu.
"Mother-in-law, please give your son-in-law one hundred thousand gold so that he can redeem those treasures."
It only costs tens of thousands of gold to redeem his treasure, and the extra money can be given to him to continue spending.
King Ruan has already made the calculation.
Mrs. Yu was startled by King Ruan's words "one hundred thousand gold". She glanced at Princess Ruan and smiled at King Ruan:
"Oh, Prince Ruan, I really didn't bring any money when I came out of Hushan County. If you want money, even a thousand taels of silver, you have to fish the Yu family out of Hushan County. The Yu family's
Your father-in-law is in charge of all the money. How can I get so much money from a womanly family?"
"The financial resources of the Yu family are only one hundred thousand gold. Isn't it easy to get it?"
King Ruan looked at Mrs. Yu suspiciously. When he asked the Yu family for money before, he asked for 10,000 gold, and the Yu family would give her 20,000 gold. She was extremely lucky.
One hundred thousand gold is quite a lot now, but the Yu family also has property in Guqi Prefecture. To raise this little money, it should be just a casual order.
Mrs. Yu immediately corrected King Ruan’s unrealistic whim.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it. Our Yu family has always lived in Hushan County, and most of our family wealth should be in Hushan County. Now Hushan County has been robbed by Sun Guogong, and there are other places.
There are so many shops, but we only respect our master’s face. How can I, a husband and wife, raise so much money?”
She was going around with King Ruan, and Princess Ruan took the opportunity to get away, hurriedly came to the courtyard where Yu Jiajia lived, and gave the girl the abortion medicine she had bought on the road.
After the girl had prepared the medicine, Princess Ruan personally carried the medicine bowl and came to Yu Jiajia.
"Amei."
Princess Ruan coaxed softly and put the abortion medicine to Yu Jiajia's lips.
"This is an abortion pill. It's good for the fetus. Come on, drink it."
Look at her expression, it's no different from that of a seductive and criminal madam.
Yu Jiajia turned around with distracted eyes and saw the medicine in Princess Ruan's bowl. She was originally very calm, but she suddenly became furious and knocked over the medicine bowl in Princess Ruan's hand. The hot medicinal juice splashed on the back of Princess Ruan's hand.
.
The burned Princess Ruan screamed in pain.
"Where did you come from, a cheap servant? How dare you harm the young prince?"
Yu Jiajia stood up and ran out in a hurry.
Princess Ruan didn't care about the pain in her hands. She got up and wanted to chase her. She also hurriedly called to the maids waiting around her.
"Come here, catch the second young lady. Hurry, catch her!"
Yu Jiajia ran like crazy. She picked up everything at hand and threw it at the people who were chasing her. Now her belly had some hardness. She touched her belly every day and fantasized about what was in her belly every time.
What does the child look like?
If it's a girl, it must look like her; if it's a boy, it must look exactly like Xiao Li Wang.
Perhaps out of a mother's instinct, she intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the bowl of medicine given to her by Princess Ruan.
So she crawled forward with all her strength, kept running, kept running.
However, no matter how fast she is, how fast can she be?
Soon, Yu Jiajia was grabbed by several girls and pushed directly to the ground.
"Ah!!! Let me go, you let me go, no, let me go!!!"
She struggled, kicked, and shouted, just like that day, that day, that day...
The man dragged her into the room. No matter how she cried, fought, begged and screamed, he wouldn't stop. It was so scary, such a scary feeling!
Yu Jiajia shook her head, but her chin was pinched by Princess Ruan.
"I knew you would not be obedient, so I prepared several bowls of medicine. Jiajia, please be more obedient. Now that our Yu family and Prince Ruan's Mansion want to stand up, we can only count on Prince Xiao Li's help.
With this evil in your belly, it is impossible for Little Prince Li to raise a child for someone else. Jiajia, be obedient!"
She was talking and coaxing, but her hands kept moving, forcefully pouring a new bowl of abortion medicine into Yu Jiajia's mouth.
This is all for the good of Yu Jiajia, and for the good of the entire Yu family and Prince Ruan's Mansion. There is nothing we can do about it.
"This child shouldn't exist in the first place. This bastard belongs to Duke Sun. It's impossible for Prince Li to admit it. Jiajia, please recognize the reality. You can't keep this child!"
"Ah~!!!Ahhhhhhh~!!!!"
A painful howl came from Yu Jiajia's throat. She wanted to vomit and spit out the abortion pill that had been poured into her stomach.
But she couldn't vomit it out, and her stomach gradually began to hurt, and finally began to have severe pain.
The girls stopped holding her, and just let her lie on the bed and roll around, enduring the heartbreaking pain all by herself.
Why? Use such pain to pull her out of her dream?
Do they know that every time she feels pain, it will remind her of the fact that she was violated by Sun Guogong?
Why can't she continue to dream and just let her think that the child in her belly belongs to Prince Li? Isn't that good?
At least, King Xiao Li was extraordinarily handsome, brave and strong, so in her imagination, she could think that King Xiao Li really liked her.
