Although it is the beginning of spring, the winter nights in the water town are still cold and the smell of water is floating in the air, which is tidal. It is only about nine o'clock in the evening, but there are already many people in the town.
Only the faint singing of babbling could be heard from a distant place, accompanied by the playing of silk and bamboo, which was very strange if it was present or not. It was probably the legendary social opera.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little scared and didn't dare to move much. He moved a small stool and tiptoed to sit next to Shang Xiaojun.
Beside the gourd vine, under the mottled moonlight, Shang Xiaojun sat blankly, looking up at the moon, motionless. The pale moonlight shone on her body, coupled with the looming shadows of the surrounding flowers and trees, and the faint shadows in the distance.
The melodious singing makes the old house seem spooky and has a bit of a fairy tale feel.
Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about the weasel he saw at dinner, and then his second sister-in-law Xu said that their family was "all foxes", and then he thought about the family raising "Huang Daxian" in the backyard as if nothing had happened. He suddenly felt that Shang Xiaojun was like this.
He only has two furry ears on his head.
"A good son-in-law..."
Fox mother-in-law... No, Shang Xiaojun's mother-in-law finally spoke.
Xiang Xiaoqiang winced and quickly replied:
"My son-in-law is here."
"You are very concerned about Xiuxiu's life experience, right?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled, and understood that what his mother-in-law said meant that she admitted that Xiuxiu was picked up. He felt a little sad in his heart, knowing that his "princess complex" was probably going to go to waste. This was not the only thing that made him sad, he was even more sad.
Yes, the story about going to Prince Shang's Mansion to ask for money when Xiu Xiu huddled in her arms and cried at the fortress ball was probably fabricated, and it was probably her mother's instruction. As for Xiu Xiu and Prince Shang,
He looks similar to the crown prince... Don’t Xiaowu and Zhu Yourong also look alike?
He hesitated for a moment and said somewhat dejectedly:
"Yes, Xiuxiu is my fiancée. Of course I care about her life experience."
Shang Xiaojun narrowed his eyes, looked at the night sky in the distance, and said slowly:
"You must have guessed that Xiuxiu is not my biological child."
Sure enough! Xiang Xiaoqiang bowed his head and said:
"Yes, my son-in-law guessed it."
"Well," Shang Xiaojun nodded, looked up at the moon, and sighed, "You are going to marry my daughter soon. There are many things that I cannot let you be confused about. Xiuxiu is very smart, I think she should
If I can help you, I may accompany you for a long time. I don't want you to always have doubts about her life experience for such a long time. I will answer your questions now. Just listen."
Xiang Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, nodded seriously and said:
"Mother-in-law, please speak. My son-in-law, please remember."
Shang Xiaojun smiled slightly, looked at the moon, a look of pride first appeared on his face, and said lightly:
"In 1918, two major events happened. The first major event was the end of the World War. The second major event was that Shang Xiaojun, who was known as the 'most talented woman in Donglin' at that time, that is, I, came from Donglin.
Graduated from college."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was immediately shocked. When she said that there were two major events in 1918, Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed that the first one must be the end of World War I. She was thinking about the second one when she suddenly heard such a shocking sentence from her mother-in-law.
The words were almost coming out, but he immediately controlled them and squeezed his thighs hard to ensure that his expression did not change.
"Well...ah..." Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed with infinite admiration, "It turns out that my mother-in-law was so..."
Phew! I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law could be so “cute”!
Shang Xiaojun listened to Xiang Xiaoqiang's "heartfelt" sighs and squinted at the moon, obviously feeling very comfortable. After a while, she nodded, stopped Xiang Xiaoqiang, and continued:
"The surname Shang is my original surname. I was called Shang Xiaojun back then. But please note that I am just an ordinary person named Shang and have nothing to do with the Ryukyu Shang family. Because I grew up in an orphanage in Suzhou
, the orphans there mainly arrange their surnames according to their orientation: up, down, front, back, left, middle, right, corresponding to Shang, Xia, Qian, Hou, Zuo, Zhong, You. I happened to be in the first group, with the surname Shang
That's all.
"Haha, although I am an orphan, I am very good as an orphan. I was admitted to Donglin University. I studied education there from 1914 to 1918. Haha, it happened to span the entire world war. At that time, I studied various subjects
In terms of grades, Chinese language, mathematics, science, history, geography, foreign languages, music, art... I am ranked first in the school in every category, and I have won all the scholarships in four years. Haha, until now, no one has surpassed me.
"The year we graduated, the King of Ryukyu was looking for a tutor for his young prince. At that time, some classmates joked with me, saying that since my surname is Shang, why don't I apply for a job at Prince Shang's Mansion? Maybe Prince Shang will recognize me as a tutor.
Where’s my sister? Haha, so I and another female classmate from the same department, whose grades were second only to mine, went to the Ryukyu Palace to apply for jobs together. There were more than a hundred people who applied for the job, and only the two of us were hired by Ryukyu.
The royal family, as a tutor, is responsible for the early childhood education of Ryukyu Crown Prince Shoei."
"ah!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang cried out. He didn't expect that she had entered Prince Shang's mansion and was Shang Rong's first teacher! Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Shang Xiaojun with admiration. This time he really admired her.
He suddenly felt happy. Since she has such a deep connection with the Ryukyu Palace, Xiuxiu's identity as a Ryukyu princess suddenly became more reliable. And the experience of this mother-in-law, how come it sounds like Jane Eyre? In the orphanage
The young female governess who grew up, and the rich male master... couldn't be between the prince and her... and then there was Xiuxiu?... No, no, my mother-in-law looked nothing like Xiu Xiu, and she also admitted that Xiu Xiu
Show is about nurturing. Listen down.
Shang Xiaojun continued:
"At that time, the fashion prince only wanted to recruit one person, but later he hired two of us. I also know the reason. Prince Shang hired me because he thought I was really good and suitable for educating the prince. Prince Shang hired me
She simply fell in love with her. Everyone can see this. At that time, the fashion king was young and graceful, and the girl was very beautiful. She was one of the best in our Dongda University at that time. Haha, I was called the "Donglin No. 1"
"A talented woman", but she was called "the most beautiful woman in Donglin". I didn't think it mattered at the time. I knew that Prince Shang hired me because of my talents and knowledge, so that I could apply what I learned, and I was satisfied.
As for what Prince Shang does to her, I don't care.
"We entered the palace for a month, and educating the prince almost fell on me. She soon fell into the arms of Prince Shang. But the female classmate got married before graduation, and her husband was a boy from the same school.
.That boy was also a popular figure in school, so he was able to pursue her. After graduation, he worked in Dongchang and was highly appreciated by the top. It was because of this that Prince Shang was quite afraid of him and did not dare to seize her outright.
like.
"After this girl applied for a job in the palace, her husband followed Shangfeng and went abroad for a year. This was convenient for her and King Shang. King Shang loved her deeply. Although she was still a tutor in name,
But she lived a life like a princess in the palace. For her, King Shang almost ignored the other princesses.
"It can be said that if this girl has never been married or found a very ordinary husband, Prince Shang will definitely try to divorce them and then make the girl his princess. It can be seen that the girl is also eager to marry a young man.
Prince Shang. But her husband loved her very much, and he was from Dongchang, and he was not of the same generation as Yi Yu. If he went to court for this, Prince Shang would definitely be surrounded by scandal. Although Prince Shang was young at the time, he was not that kind of person.
A childish and romantic young man. The girl made trouble several times and asked King Shang to find a solution, but King Shang kept delaying. Shang Rong's mother, Concubine Chen, also hated her so much that it was an open secret in the palace.
"A few months later, the girl suddenly moved into the back garden of the palace and lived in seclusion. She didn't see anyone much. I happened to see her once and found that her waist had grown thicker. It turned out that she was pregnant.
I don’t know what Shang Wang was thinking. Maybe he really wanted her to give birth to a child for him? Or was it because of this that her husband agreed to divorce? Or was it time for her to have an abortion? Or maybe that girl was just doing this
Blackmailing King Shang? I don't know any of this. Anyway, I only saw her two or three times in the past few months, and each time I saw her belly getting bigger.
"As for me, I have lived in the palace for nearly a year, and I feel like I am not like a tutor at all, but more like a nanny. Because the prince is only four years old, all I can do is coax him, hold him, and teach him to sing all day long.
I just told him stories. I couldn’t put my knowledge into use at all, including Chinese language, mathematics, history, geography, etc. I was very distressed at the time and didn’t know whether I should resign or stay. However, I was able to enter the Ryukyu Royal Palace to educate the crown prince.
, this is something that all my classmates are very envious of. It would be a pity to leave like this. But if I don’t leave, all my talents and learning will be wasted.
"One night, I thought hard for a long time, and finally decided to go to the prince to talk to him about quitting the job. I went to see the prince, but the maid said that the prince was not here and might have gone to the back garden. I thought at that time
I looked for the prince in the back garden, but I also thought that if the prince went to the back garden, he must be looking for the girl. If I go like this, the prince will definitely be unhappy. But then I thought, I plan to leave anyway, so what if he is unhappy.
"I arrived in the back garden, and it was strange. There was not a single guard or maid. There were usually all the guards, but today they seemed to have been removed. So I went in to look. I remember clearly that it was the last day of August, and the night was very hot.
, there were neither stars nor moon, dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and there was no light at all in the garden. I was very scared and wanted to go back and talk to the prince tomorrow. But suddenly I had a feeling that this Prince Shang's Mansion was very dirty.
Not wanting to stay any longer, I boldly explored the dark garden.
"I vaguely heard the cry of the baby, and I was shocked. Could it be that she had already given birth to the baby? There was thunder in the sky at that time, and the air was so moist that it was almost dripping with water. I was trembling with fear, but I couldn't help but
I followed the cry of the baby and looked for it. Finally, I found a person squatting by the pond, and the cry of the baby came from his arms... I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, so I hid behind the stone and watched that person.
Holding the baby in his arms, he seemed to be hesitating. At this moment, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, and I saw clearly that the person was Prince Shang!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang listened nervously. Although he had already guessed that the person might be Prince Shang and the baby in his arms might be Xiuxiu, Shang Xiaojun's narration was so immersive that he still couldn't help but "Ah" after hearing this.
There was a sound.
The pale moonlight shone on Shang Xiaojun's face. She remained motionless and continued to narrate expressionlessly, as if she were a sculpture.
"... I guessed that he wanted to throw the baby into the pond. When I thought about this possibility, I was immediately frightened. I really couldn't bear the thought of someone drowning a baby in front of me. I wanted to run away but was afraid of being discovered. At that time, I bit the back of my hand and almost
I was about to go crazy. The baby's cries were getting louder and louder. It seemed that Prince Shang couldn't stand it anymore. He took the baby's small bundle and slowly got closer to the water. I couldn't care about anything at the time and jumped out.
"The prince was scared to death when he saw me suddenly appearing. There were lightnings in the sky. Maybe both of us were like ghosts. I mustered up the courage and told him directly, if you drown the child, I will report you. Yes.
If you can, you will drown me too. I know that although he is a prince, he has no power in the Ming Dynasty. He would not dare to kill people and silence them. Prince Shang was frightened and begged me to keep my voice down. At this time, people were struggling in the small building next to them.
A person came out, and when I saw it, it was that girl. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Her belly was also flat, and she was the one who gave birth to the child.
"She rushed over desperately to snatch her child. Prince Shang pushed her, and I helped her snatch it, and it was in her hand at once. Prince Shang was anxious and wanted to come over and snatch it from me. But the mother of the child
I tried my best to save Shang Wang’s legs and shouted loudly, telling me to run away with the child in my arms. At that time, I couldn’t care about anything else. I hugged the child tightly and ran as fast as I could. The only thing in my mind was that I couldn’t let him snatch the child back.
She drowned in the house. Prince Shang was dragged by her and couldn't catch me, and he didn't dare to call for arrest. I just hugged the child and ran out of Prince Shang's house over the wall without even returning to my apartment.
"It's strange to say that the baby was crying non-stop. After I held her, she stopped crying even when climbing over the wall or running. I was afraid that I would suffocate the baby to death, but when I looked down, she was actually very well-behaved.
I fell asleep. It was about ten o'clock at night, and big raindrops began to fall, and soon it started to rain heavily. I just thought about not letting the child get caught in the rain, so I immediately squatted on the ground and put the
The baby was wrapped in his shirt and held close to his chest to keep him warm.
"I just squatted on the street, squatting in the pouring rain, using my back to shield her from the rain. I didn't dare to stand up and find shelter from the rain, because the rain was too heavy, and the baby would be wet if she moved.
At that time, I lowered my head and was so wet that I couldn't open my eyes. I was shivering all over because of the cold. But only the little thing on my chest was soft and warm, and it squirmed from time to time. I don't know how long it took, but the rain stopped.
As she gradually became smaller, I dared to slowly get up, hold her in my arms and find a shelter from the rain.
"I stood in the corridor of someone else's house to take shelter from the rain while taking out the baby to look at. It was a baby girl. She was very cute and beautiful. She kept smiling at me. I fell in love with her right away... The rain stopped.
I was holding the child and walking on the street, watching as I walked. At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if this was the child I gave birth to! Unfortunately, I escaped from Prince Shang’s Mansion and was penniless. I only had the clothes on my body.
I didn’t even have clothes or a place to live. I couldn’t even take care of myself, so how could I take care of the child? I thought about it on the street for a long time, and I only thought of a way to send the child to the orphanage.
"I held the baby in my arms and knocked on the door of the nursery, saying that I had picked up the baby girl and gave it to them to raise. I cried so sadly when I gave them the baby that they all doubted me and asked if the baby was...
I gave birth to the baby myself and gave it to me when I no longer wanted it. I really wanted to say that the baby was mine and take the baby away, but I really couldn’t raise her. It took a lot of effort, plus the baby girl
She was indeed very beautiful, and she was liked very much, so she accepted it. I left the nursery crying and found a place to cry for a long time.
"Then I thought about it and returned to Prince Shang's Mansion. The prince and the child's mother were relieved when they heard that I had sent the child to the nursery. They probably also thought that this was the best solution, better than drowning.
Better. I couldn't work there anymore, so I quit my job and received a large salary. The prince gave me a lot of extra money because I kept his daughter alive. The mother of the child was even more grateful to me and gave me a gift.
A few pieces of jewelry. I packed up my things and left Prince Shang's Mansion.
"I was considered a wealthy person at this time. I rented a house to live in and slowly thought about my future. Alas, but I dreamed about that child every night, dreaming about her growing up in an orphanage.
I didn't have enough to eat, didn't have warm clothes, was beaten, bullied, and cried for my mother... Oh, I would wake up crying every time. It was as if this child was really my biological child... I myself was an orphan.
, grew up in an orphanage, and I know very well what is going on in the orphanage. Although this is an orphanage in Nanjing, I know there is no difference.
"In this way, within a week, I couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the nursery to see the baby. I was surprised. The child was obviously thinner and cried a lot when he saw me... The environment in the nursery was very bad, and there were many babies.
They were all crying loudly, and the old lady who was taking care of them didn’t care and just chatted there. I had an impulse at that time to take the child away and raise it myself. But I was only twenty years old at the time, and I was still a girl. If I had
If I have a child, what will others think of me? What should I do in the future? But...when I left that time, I cried very sadly and left some money to ask them to take good care of the child.
"But a week later, I went again and found that the child was even thinner. They took my money and didn't even feed her. I was very angry and wanted to take the child away. At this time, the nursery manager
An old woman came over and told me that yesterday there was a woman who was quite beautiful. She also came to see the child and seemed to love her very much. She asked if she was any of my relatives or sisters. I was shocked and knew that maybe
It was the child's mother who came to see her.
"I asked her about her appearance in detail, and sure enough, I felt uneasy at the time. She came to see the child, which meant that she missed the child too. She would also feel distressed when she saw the child become thinner, and maybe it would happen next time.
Take the child away. I am very scared, because then I will never see the child again. Even if I want to take her away and raise her myself, there is no chance. I know that if I want to take the child away, I have to do it now.
Make up your mind, otherwise you may not see me next time.
"I gritted my teeth and didn't think about anything. I directly admitted to the nursery that I was the child's mother and that I was going to take the child away now. The people at the nursery were not surprised at all and said they had guessed it a long time ago and it went smoothly.
Let me take the child away... I came out with the child in my arms. My whole body was trembling. This child is finally mine. I finally have a child! I know this is immoral and unfair to the mother of the child, but
I couldn't care anymore. The reason I gave myself was: I definitely love this child more than her.
"After I falsely claimed the child, I knew I could no longer stay in Nanjing and had to run away quickly. I took the child and ran to my hometown of Suzhou. In order to prevent them from finding me, I had to remain anonymous. Because I have the same surname as Shang Wangfu, I decided to change my surname.
This area of Suzhou also became "Wu", so I changed my surname to Wu, but still kept the name "Xiaojun". I rented a small apartment in Suzhou and lived with my children. I have never taken care of children, and my children are very small.
, I often get sick and have to take her to see a doctor. I often cry in the middle of the night and have to get up to change diapers and feed milk powder... In the eyes of my neighbors, I am still an unruly girl who is not married but has a child...
…I didn’t know how I survived that period of time.
"You must also know that this child is Xiu Xiu. Although I knew that the child should be named Shang, I still let her take my surname as Wu. I gave her a very common name, Xiao Xiu'er. I just thought
From then on, we, mother and daughter, kept our names anonymous and depended on each other. Alas, I was a top student at Donglin University and had the experience of teaching the Crown Prince of Ryukyu. If I used the name "Shang Xiaojun", I could have found a very good job. But if it didn't work,
You can also teach in middle schools and primary schools. But now you are anonymous and have a child, so you can't go out to teach at all. The little savings you had originally were quickly spent, and you can only rely on the needlework and tailoring skills you learned in the orphanage.
Do some odd jobs for others and earn some money for milk powder.
"The guy who lives next door to me is a young man named Ye. He is also a college student, but he goes to a very humble school. Both of his parents have died. He came to Suzhou from the countryside to find a job and is living in poverty here. He is alone and sometimes wears clothes
The quilt was torn and he didn't know how to mend it. He knew what I was doing, so he brought it to me for help. I only charged him a small amount of money. One time when I went to return it, he was studying and there was something he didn't understand.
He was scratching his head. When I saw it, I gave him the answer easily. Haha, he was surprised. He didn't expect that I was still a "talented woman". From then on, whenever he had questions in his studies, he came to me to answer his questions. Haha, I know that many times
He did it all on purpose.
"In this way, we fell in love. He has no parents, which helps us a lot. Otherwise, if I had to take care of the child, we wouldn't be able to be together... We can't survive in Suzhou. He said his family is here
In Tongli, our ancestors had a house and could go back and open a primary school. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was still vigorously developing basic education. To ensure that education did not lag behind Japan, every village had to have primary schools. At that time, Tongli Town only had one primary school, which could not meet the needs of the town.
To send my children to school, the Wujiang County Government wanted to organize another one. We registered our marriage in Suzhou, but we didn’t hold a wedding, so we returned to Wujiang and opened the ‘Pinxian Academy’ in this house. I taught, and he became my teacher.
assistant.
"I can teach everything. The primary school curriculum of Ming Dynasty, Chinese language, mathematics, science, history, geography, music, and art are all easy for me to teach. The town government quickly passed my exam and issued me a primary school teacher certificate.
, and allocates money every year to support our small school. Haha, after getting married, of course he knew that I was still a girl, and he treated me even better like a treasure he found. He also treated Xiuxiu as his own. The next year, we had
One son is Xiuxiu's younger brother, Ziyu.
"Perhaps God is a little jealous. Ten years ago, my husband fell ill and passed away, leaving me to raise two children and support the academy. Our family is one of the few in town that subscribes to newspapers all year round. Over the years,
I pay close attention to the news outside, especially the news about Prince Shang's Mansion. In the first few years, anonymous people published several notices in newspapers saying "Looking for Ms. Shang Xiaojun", hoping that I would contact them after seeing the advertisement.
As long as I can return the child to them, I can give you any price. Alas, it seems that King Shang missed his daughter. But after a few years, as Xiuxiu grew up, there was no news in the newspapers.
"Sometimes I feel very sorry for Xiu Xiu. If Xiu Xiu had been returned to King Shang, she would now be the princess of the Ryukyu King instead of the daughter of a country teacher. But there is no way, I love this daughter so much, I can't
Without her... Later, Xiuxiu reached the age of going to middle school and was going to go to middle school. I decided to take this opportunity to give her the surname 'Shang'. Even if she can't become the Ryukyu Princess, at least she should have the surname of Ryukyu Princess. Alas.
, this may be because I want to make some small compensation.
"Xiuxiu is very ambitious. Just like me back then, her grades are very good. With her grades, she can definitely be admitted to Donglin University, find a rich husband there, and enter the upper class in the future. But that year I got sick and my legs
It's broken. Treatment requires a lot of money. Xiuxiu is very sensible and knows that I can't afford the tuition at Donglin University. Moreover, there are very few full scholarships at Donglin University, so she may not be sure to get it.
"Alas, my Xiuxiu was admitted to the Naval University without telling me. Ming Dynasty is a country with traditional maritime power, and the navy has a very high status. Hainan University is also the highest institution of the navy. It is no better than Donglin, but my
Xiuxiu passed the exam because she knew that the military academy does not charge tuition fees and also provides very high subsidies. After graduation, girls can go to submarines and their salaries will be very high. Over the years, she has sent the school subsidies back to me for medical treatment.
She only kept a small amount to save money. After joining the submarine, her salary as a communications officer was also very high, but she sent me her salary... During the vacation, Qiu Qiu and her came to see me.
, saying that someone like Xiuxiu who is a submarine officer and still so poor is very rare in the fleet..."
Shang Xiaojun raised his face and sighed at the moon, with tears flashing in his eyes. Xiang Xiaoqiang was also moved and sighed. He didn't expect Xiu Xiu to have such a life experience. Previously, he only cared about whether Xiu Xiu was a Ryukyu princess.
, but now I don’t think it’s important. A girl like this, let alone a princess, so what if she’s not! Can it reduce his love for her?
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiuxiu's mother and felt that her love for Xiuxiu and her dedication to Xiuxiu could only be described with the word "great". Only with such a mother can we have such a daughter.
He always felt that Xiuxiu was a little too flattering to him, liked to be scheming, and would do whatever it took to capture his heart. But now he knew. Even if Xiuxiu did that, 90% of it was for this family.
For the sake of her mother and brother, she got to know herself and finally had a strong support. She was too afraid of losing this support. Especially Xiuxiu knew that she was a philanderer and lustful, so she had to do her best to keep her favor. But such a person
For a girl, there is a bottom line for her to flatter and dote on her: that is, to keep oneself as pure as a jade, to have self-respect and love for oneself.
Xiang Xiaoqiang used to think that Qiu Qiu had a heart of gold, while Xiu Xiu was just a little bit inferior. But now he understands that Xiu Xiu also has a heart of gold, but it's just covered up by poverty and low self-esteem.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously:
"By the way, my mother-in-law, Xiuxiu... uh, biological mother, that girl from Donglin, what happened to your classmate? Did she marry into Prince Shang's palace?"
Shang Xiaojun shook his head and said:
"No... Well, what you asked is more important. I was about to tell you. You are now at the forefront of the power struggle in the Ming Dynasty. It would be good to know more about it. If necessary, you can use it as a weapon."
She licked her lips and continued:
"Prince Shang soon had a new love, and he would not marry her. The girl was in pain. She lost her child and Prince Shang again. It is said that she wanted to commit suicide. But one year later, her husband never
After returning from abroad, she returned to Dongchang and was entrusted with an important task. Her husband had already heard about her, but the man was very nice and still loved her and hoped that she would come back to him. Only then did the girl find out about her husband's
Well, of course I returned to him and continued to be his wife.
"Later, this man became very successful in Dongchang, rose to the top, and his official position became bigger and bigger. What's even more commendable is that he always loved his wife and didn't marry another in the past ten years. This also added a lot of beauty to him.
Fame will be of great benefit to his promotion in the officialdom..."
"Ah!!" Xiang Xiaoqiang exclaimed, "Her husband is Shen Rongxuan!!!"
Shang Xiaojun looked at him, smiled and nodded:
"Yes, it's Shen Rongxuan. That girl, Xiu Xiu's biological mother, is the current wife of the Chief Minister - Xu Fengping."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was so shocked that he sat blankly under the moonlight, quickly recalling the scene in his mind - the morning when Xiu Xiu was discharged from the hospital, they were at the Liaoyang Princess Mansion, and they had just finished dealing with Ha Feng'a's kidnapping of Xiu Xiu, and the kidnapping of Liaoyang.
During the princess incident, I saw the white Rolls-Royce when I came out. The curtain at the back of the car moved and it drove away quickly. After investigation, it was found that there are ten such cars in Nanjing, and there is one in the official residence of the Chief Minister! And!
This kind of white Rolls-Royce is mostly used by women.
It is very likely that the person sitting in the back seat of the car at that time was Mrs. Shen Xu Fengping! From this, it can be concluded that Xu Fengping knew that Xiuxiu was her biological daughter, and that Xiuxiu was abducted, so she came to peek at Xiuxiu and saw that she came out safely
, just drove away!
Xiuxiu changed her surname back, and because she was rescued by herself, this episode was heavily publicized on the radio on the night of the coup. It was not surprising that Xu Fengping knew that Xiuxiu was her daughter. Even Shen Rongxuan must have known it too.
But, how did she know that Xiuxiu was kidnapped by Ha Feng'a?... It's also very simple. Dongchang already knew about it at that time. Dongchang was still in the hands of Shen Rongxuan. For such a big thing, Dongchang would definitely report to Shen Rongxuan. As
Mrs. Shen, what she heard at that time was not surprising at all.
With this connection, everything about the mysterious white Rolls-Royce is explained.
Oh my God... What a concept what my mother-in-law told me about this!... I have mastered the early adultery scandal of two of the most prominent families in the Ming Dynasty!... And there is living evidence, and that is Xiu Xiu!
Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't know how to use this "weapon" or when to use it... It doesn't matter, go back and think about it slowly.
…
It was late at night. They saw Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shang Xiaojun talking in the front yard, but did not bother them. Xiu Xiu arranged accommodation for all six guards appropriately. Then they prepared the most comfortable room for Mr. Xiang.
Then, he boiled water for washing his mother and Xiang Xiaoqiang's feet, and sat on the porch, covering his yawn, waiting to serve them.
Xiang Xiaoqiang pushed his mother-in-law into the room and asked Xiuxiu to wash and wipe her feet. Then he went to pour water and wash herself.
In the backyard, under the bright moonlight, the two met.
"Sir," Xiuxiu chuckled, like a virtuous little wife, "I have boiled the hot water. You sit there first and I will pour it for you. You are not familiar with it..."
"Xiuxiu..."
"What? Uh...!!!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged Xiuxiu and started kissing her in the corridor. Xiuxiu was extremely nervous and did not dare to struggle or beg for mercy for fear of being heard. She trembled and slowly leaned against the pillar.
But after giving Xiang Xiaoqiang a deep kiss, he made no further moves. He just hugged Xiuxiu's waist and looked at her affectionately under the moonlight.
Xiuxiu slowly relaxed because what she saw in Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyes was not lust, but love.
"Xiuxiu," Xiang Xiaoqiang said excitedly, "God has given you to me... Marry me with confidence... I will make you the happiest woman in the world!... Your mother and brother are
My mother and brother... from now on, I want you to live like a princess every day!"
Xiuxiu looked at him blankly, slowly, tears welled up in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth dropped, twitching slightly.
Suddenly, she hugged Xiang Xiaoqiang with a cry of "Wow" and started crying loudly, beating him while crying.
