Chapter 119 Assisting Yuan Rujing and Li
After Xiao Jinyu returned to the house, Fenghuang immediately reported something to her about the Fan family in Shunyang, so the two took Yuan Rujing to a relatively remote house. of monastery.
There are colorful fallen flowers in the temple, and through the courtyard wall, you can still hear the laughter of children.
"My husband, our children are six or seven years old. When will my husband marry me?"
There is a soft and charming female voice.
"Come on, this time I have made great contributions to King Shixing, and the prince promised me that he will give me a serious official status. Moreover, that woman Yuan went to King Shixing, and she is afraid that she will never have the shame to return to my Fan family. , maybe she feels ashamed and commits suicide. Then I will marry you in a glorious way, and you can still have the status of a real wife. "
Yuan Rujing's face turned pale when she heard this.
"Husband, what if Mrs. Yuan doesn't commit suicide and comes back again?" The female voice seemed dissatisfied with the answer and asked softly.
"It's impossible. That woman from Yuan's family comes from a wealthy family, and she takes her face very seriously. If something like this happens, even if she doesn't want to die, her father's family won't be able to save the dignity of letting her live... Ah Rou, just wait, you’ve been waiting for so many years, why worry about waiting a few more days?”
"I can wait, but what about our son? We can't let our Lang'er be scolded as an illegitimate child all the time, right?"
There was silence in the courtyard for a long time. After Yuan Rujing waited in despair, the man spoke, almost in a very gloomy voice: "If she doesn't commit suicide, then I will ask King Shixing to give her a happy life! Anyway, Most of the women who enter Prince Shiheung’s palace will end up either given away or dead!”
"Huh, my father asked me to marry that woman back then, just because she had an aunt who married into the Xiao family in Lanling, and she had a golden relationship with Xiao Luan. I thought this woman could be friends with Xiao Luan. There must be something extraordinary about her. Who would have thought that after so many years, this bitch didn't help me at all. I couldn't even get any information about Xiao Luan from her.
Otherwise, It’s not like today that I still can’t get an official position and still have to do those dirty things for King Shiheung…”
As he said this, he heard a bang and the courtyard door suddenly opened.
Phoenix hid her face and ran in fiercely, frightening the children in the courtyard to cry loudly. The woman even turned pale, and hurriedly took the children into the house and hid.
The man wanted to run away, but his feet were caught by the phoenix, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"The prince sent me to take your life!"
"Your Majesty?" The man seemed in disbelief and confirmed again, "Prince Shiheung?"
"yes!"
"No, it's impossible. I am working for the prince. I am so loyal to him. Why would he take my life?"
"Then tell me, what have you done for the prince? What things have you not done well?"
The man thought for a while, and said in panic: "The prince asked me to deliver a message to the eminent monk Huiwei. I always used the opportunity of giving money for incense to deliver the message to Huiwei. For this reason, I also paid him a favor." I lost a lot of money!”
"I also helped the prince collect information on some farmers who had escaped from the Buddhist temple. I also actively worked on it and registered those people. Calculated, there are more than a thousand people, enough to train an army!"
"Also...I also help the prince search for some beautiful young ladies among the people and send them to the mansion...including my wife and daughter..."
As he said this, a sharp light flashed in front of his eyes, and there was a "pop" sound, and his face felt burning pain.
The man's face was distorted. When he looked up again, he saw Yuan Rujing's face as pale as a lotus.
At this moment, what shone in this woman's eyes was a cold light of pain, sorrow, and extreme disappointment, which was very different from the dignified and gentle look of the past!
"You actually helped King Shixing do so many unscrupulous things? It's in vain that you always talk about saints, Fan Yong, are you worthy?"
"You...why are you here?"
The man was horrified and his mind was in chaos until Xiao Jinyu walked into this courtyard and Phoenix pulled the mask off his face.
He seemed to suddenly realize it.
"Did you deliberately trick me just now? Who are you?"
Fenghuang sneered and said: "Who am I? I am the person who killed King Chen Shuling of Shixing. Do you want to try it too?"
"No--"
The man let out a shrill scream, then turned his attention to Yuan Rujing. He crawled over like a dog, pulled the corner of Yuan Rujing's clothes and begged:
"Ajing, we are just a couple. Stop making trouble. Where did you find this person? It's so scary. Stop making trouble. Let's go home, okay?"
"Does there still be a place for me in that family? Or, when you gave me and A-Yuan to King Shiheung, did you consider A-Yuan to be your daughter?"
"I...I have no choice but to do so. Ah Jing, as you know, over the years I have been seeking officials everywhere, but my Fan family has been suppressed everywhere. I cannot hold my head high in front of those noble men. Only King Shixing ...He said he was willing to reuse me and give me a chance..." "So you just help him do all kinds of evil and do these unscrupulous things?"
Yuan Rujing gave a sharp shout and then sneered, "If you want to be an official, then you should use your ability to take the Zhongzheng examination in the eight major states. Now even from a poor family, you can become an official through the examination. As a descendant of a noble family, He doesn’t want to make progress, but he only wants to gain fame through others’ recommendation or buying an official position. In order to achieve his own goals, he even doesn’t hesitate to work with evil people and collude with others! ”
Having said this, Yuan Rujing closed her eyes and seemed to have made up her mind.
"Fan Yong, let's make peace with each other!"
"What did you say?" The man looked up and couldn't believe it.
"Let's make peace! It just so happens that you can take your concubine and illegitimate son back and give him a formal title. Since you have betrayed me, don't betray the other one!"
As soon as Yuan Rujing finished speaking, the woman who was hiding in the house ran out with her child in her arms in joy, kowtowed to Yuan Rujing and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!"
"What are you talking about? How can you, a slave woman, be worthy of being a real wife? It's enough for me to give you the status of a good concubine!" After the man said this, he looked at Yuan Rujing flatteringly, "Jing, stop making trouble. "She is just a slave. I bought her out of kindness because I thought she was pitiful. If you don't mind, give her the status of a good concubine, and you will still be the mistress, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Rujing opened her eyes in disbelief and stared at this man with despair, as if she had never seen him clearly in twenty years.
The woman next to the man turned pale and her heart was ashen.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu walked in and said to Yuan Rujing:
"Aunt Rujing, you have seen such a man clearly now, right?"
The man's eyes turned to Xiao Jinyu, and when he saw her face that was similar to Xiao Luan's, there was a hint of flattery and evil in his eyes.
"Xiao Clan Aluan? Are you back? Back then, I only glanced at you from a distance, and it has been engraved in my heart for sixteen years. I never expected that you would actually return to Chen Country..."
As he said that, he actually wanted to get up, but was knocked down with a punch from Phoenix.
Blood gushed out from the man's nose. He stretched out his hand to wipe it and took a closer look. He screamed in fright and almost fainted and fell to the ground.
"Phoenix, stop talking nonsense to him. Take out all those Saeki papers and ask him to write down his testimony and press his fingerprints!"
"yes!"
Phoenix took out a stack of Saeki paper and placed it in front of the man:
Two of them are letters of reconciliation between Yuan Rujing and Fan Yong!
The rest is his confession of the evil things he did for King Shiheung!
"Let him write this confession himself, write it more clearly, and write down everything that King Shiheung has done!" Xiao Jinyu said.
"No, I can't write it. If I do, King Shiheung will definitely destroy my whole family. I can't write this confession!"
"If you don't write it, I will destroy you now!"
Fenghuang took out the knife and tried to chop it down. The man was so frightened that he quickly held his head and immediately became frightened.
"I'll write, I'll write right away!"
Fan Yongyong saw several pieces of Saeki paper lying on the ground.
"Why do you have to write so many?"
"I tell you to write, just write!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Heli Shu must also be signed!"
Phoenix gestured with the knife again.
"I sign, I sign!"
After saying that, he didn't hesitate anymore and signed the book of separation. After signing, he handed it to Fenghuang very respectfully.
Seeing the man's appearance, which was softer than a woman's bones, Yuan Rujing's eyes became more and more desolate and cold, until they finally turned into a sad and relieved smile.
