At the same time, a manor was used. The residences to the north of the manor were built with blue bricks and gray tiles compared to the huts and adobe houses of the farmers.
In a hall, the owner of the manor looked at the woman opposite with disgust, and said coldly: "I heard that the king intends to admit you into the palace, what are you doing here?"
"Mother-in-law, you have only heard part of the news, and there are other parts you don't know." In front of the old lady was a woman with red makeup and colorful clothes.
Her appearance is already extremely beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and enchanting features. Her figure is plump and round, and her posture is romantic. At first glance, she looks like a woman in her twenties or thirties, but there is something a little bit different about her appearance.
Her innocence and weakness make countless men want to conquer her, and her innocence and weakness make countless men want to protect her.
But she is also a woman with deep thoughts. Her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose, her lip line, and even her straight neck and sideways waist when she sits down are all...
Her every look and every movement was carefully calculated to show her beauty and make men fall for her.
That kind of calculation has been immersed in her bones, so even if she is facing a mother-in-law who doesn't like her, she still does it.
"What don't I know?" the old lady asked with disgust on her face.
"Some people in the court say that I come from a wealthy family, have been married, and have a daughter. All these things make me unworthy of serving the king in the palace." said the woman in red.
"Yeah?"
"Mother-in-law, do you know who made such a suggestion to the king?"
The old lady was silent.
"That man's name is Li Mu. He was once entrusted with an important task by the late king. He was stationed in the northern border and commanded a hundred thousand troops to resist the wolves. He was the most promising general in the Zhao army since Lian Po." The woman in red ignored the old man.
People are silent and talk to themselves.
"And this Li Mu's mother seems to be a family friend with you, mother-in-law. How did Li Mu, a general in the north, care about the king's harem? Mother-in-law, don't tell me that you don't know."
"So what if I did it? Is what Li Mu said wrong? Don't you come from a wealthy family? Don't you have a daughter? Don't you have a frivolous nature and kill your husband? You don't want to keep his integrity and you still want to seduce him.
King?" the old lady said sternly.
"Mother-in-law, why do you hate me so much? I am from a wealthy family, but that is not something I can choose. If I could, I would be like you, mother-in-law, from a noble family, but there are thousands of people in the world, not everyone
Every woman is as lucky as her mother-in-law."
"As for Croft, that is even more of a crime. He doesn't mind my identity, and he openly marries me as the founder of the family. How can I not be grateful to him? I serve him with a heart of repayment. How can I hope that he will live long?"
Died young." The woman had already changed into a sad tone as she spoke.
"Why should women embarrass women?"
"What about the Snow Girl? Don't you think about her?" Hearing the woman's cry, the cruel look in the old lady's eyes became a little more hesitant.
"I did this just for the sake of Snow Girl. Now our family only has three girls, you and me, Snow Girl. How can we support our family? Our family owns hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and we also have an iron yard here in Wu'an. Our family property
No less than ten thousand gold, how can we three women hold on?" The woman said as if I am doing everything for your good.
"Don't talk nonsense, can I still not understand you? Who are you? I saw it very clearly when you seduced my son. You are just for yourself, for yourself to fly to the high branches, but don't forget
, you are not a phoenix, you can't fly up." The old lady's hesitation was only for a moment, and she quickly woke up from the verbal trap of the woman in red.
"You take Snow Girl and leave the Kingdom of Zhao." Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, the woman in red stopped pretending to be pitiful and said in an indifferent tone.
"Why should we leave? I was born and raised in the State of Zhao. My late husband and son's grave is here, why should I leave?" the old lady said angrily.
"Is this your real purpose? To erase the traces of me and the Snow Girl from the Zhao Kingdom, so that you can forget your past? You are really good at calculating."
"This is good for both of us. After leaving Zhao State, I will slowly hand over the property here to you. You will not lose anything." The woman in red said coldly.
"Then I really want to thank you. Let me tell you, Xue Nu is from the Zhao Kingdom and has the blood of the Zhao Kingdom's clan flowing through her body. She will not leave the Zhao Kingdom." The old lady said unmoved.
"Mother-in-law, don't force me." The woman in red said calmly at this time.
"Forcing you? Haha, it's really a slap in the face." The old lady laughed angrily.
In the end, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally broke up on bad terms.
Zhaodu.
"Madam, have we reached an agreement?" A middle-aged man in fine clothes cautiously asked the woman in red who had returned from Wu'an.
His name is Guo Kai, and he used to be a book boy. If nothing changes, his identity will last for many years and he will eventually become a slave. He will never be able to achieve a leap in identity in his lifetime.
But he was also lucky, because his master was named Zhao Yan, the son of King Zhao. What was even more lucky for him was that Zhao Yan finally achieved a counterattack, successfully defeated the then Prince of Zhao, and succeeded to the throne of Zhao.
He became the current King Yan of Zhao, and his status naturally increased. After successfully overthrowing the famous general Lian Po of the Zhao State, he became the current Prime Minister of the Zhao State.
From a young scholar to the prime minister of the second most powerful country in the world, Zhao, his deeds can be described as inspirational, but the process is also unbearable, and his future will be even more unbearable.
"No, this old witch has no money and salt, and is unwilling to leave the Kingdom of Zhao. She is really troublesome. Oh, where is the king?" The woman in red rubbed her forehead as she spoke. She was deeply scheming, and she was helpless at this time.
"If one road doesn't work, maybe another road will work."
"Guo Kai, tell me what you have to say," the woman in red said.
"Madam, since the old lady doesn't want to leave, we can send her away." Guo Kai said sadly.
"Send it to where?"
"A place where she will never appear again, and where she will never be able to affect Madam again."
"You mean?" the woman in red said, pointing to the sky with her finger, and then fell into thinking.
"What about the snow girl?" After pondering for a long time, the woman in red asked another question.
"Miss Xue Nu is still young, just send her out." Guo Kai said with a calm smile. He knew that when the person in front of him asked about Xue Nu, it had already shown that she agreed with his opinion.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it." The woman in red murmured to herself. On one side was her daughter, on the other side was the palace, the position of queen, and the temptation to become the mistress of this country. How should she choose between them.
"Let Xue Nu stay with her grandmother, otherwise something unexpected might happen in the future. Although Li Mu's incident has brought me a lot of trouble, it is still a good thing. If it weren't for his advice, I would have
Maybe you will really forget these things. If you are criticized on these issues at a more important moment in the future, that will be the real trouble."
"With her grandmother?" Guo Kai couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
That was her biological daughter. In order for her to enter the palace, it was cruel enough to kill her late husband’s mother. She also wanted to kill her own daughter. How could she do it? Guo Kai thought and quickly lowered his head.
He was worried that his sudden change of color would be reflected in the other person's eyes.
"This is the only way, Snow Girl, don't blame me. I originally gave you your life, and now I'm just taking it back. Guo Kai, I have to leave this matter to you." The struggle of the woman in red was just
In an instant, I had completely made up my mind.
"Yes, in the Taihang Mountains not far from Wu'an County, there is a group of fugitives who established themselves as bandits. We can secretly send people to destroy Zhuangzi in Wu'an County, then blame them on that group of bandits, and then use the imperial army to kill them
Wipe it out, it's foolproof." Guo Kaixin turned his head and thought of a 'wonderful' plan.
"It's up to you how to do it. I just want the results."
"Yes, then I'll do it now to avoid a long night of dreams." Guo Kai was about to leave as he spoke.
"Wait." When Guo Kai turned around and walked less than five steps, the woman in red suddenly called out to Guo Kai.
"Madam?" Guo Kai turned around in confusion. Did her motherhood defeat her selfishness?
"Don't let the snow girl see blood." In Guo Kai's respectful ears, the woman in red said slowly.
Kind? Vicious?
"Yes." Guo Kai replied calmly after being surprised for a moment.
