Chapter 937 Seeking Death and Living
Chu Qiao said, "My princess is busy. There were a lot of things in the house a few years ago. The princess can't handle it alone. The princess is helping us together. I'm afraid I won't have time to come over and say hello to Concubine Rong Shi."
Concubine Rongshi always bought King Jiang and left every time she came. Xia Zihan only entertained her for the first time. Every time in the future, it was her maids who entertained her.
But this time, Princess Rong wanted to see Xia Zihan once.
"Tell Princess Chu Yu that I will just say a few words to her. It won't take her much time. If she doesn't come, I will go in and look for her." Yuqiong Garden, where Chu Yu lives, is close to the flower room of Prince An's mansion. The last time she came, she still remembered the way.
Seeing that she was determined not to leave until she saw Xia Zihan, Chu Qiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Concubine Rong, please wait. I will go in and let you know."
Before leaving, Chu Qiao was worried and winked at the little maid standing guard in the side hall, asking her to keep an eye on Princess Rong.
The little maid nodded slightly to express her understanding.
Chu Qiao hurried to the flower hall.
Xia Zihan sneered, "What could she do to me if she sees me? Isn't it because she can't give me money?"
Because of what happened to Rong San, Concubine Rong Shi had a grudge against her. Every time she saw her, she acted as if she owed her a million taels of silver.
She was too lazy to look at Concubine Rong's face and didn't like to see her.
It's ridiculous, she doesn't owe Crown Princess Rong, she won't seek out abuse on her own, she likes to see Crown Princess Rong's face.
She and Concubine Rong Shi would not meet if they could. I believe Concubine Rong Shi also knew about this matter, so besides the lack of money, she really couldn't think of anything else that Concubine Rong Shi had to do with her.
Chu Qiao lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the money used to buy Prince Jiang these past few times came from Concubine Rong's natal family. Concubine Rong paid five thousand taels of silver when she bought Prince Jiang for the first time."
This news came from the fact that Chu Meng gave a pair of lilacs to Concubine Rong Shizi's maid and picked them out of the maid's mouth.
When Xia Zihan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up and he said, "Go tell her that I don't have time to see her. If it's a matter of money, this is not a tavern or restaurant, and we don't give credit. If she can't afford it, I won't sell it." .”
"Understood, Princess, I will answer you right now." Chu Qiao bowed and retreated.
Concubine Rong Shizi's face turned pale, and she felt as if she had specially sent her face to be slapped by Chu Yu, which made her ashamed and angry.
She was looking for Chu Yu because she didn't bring any money today.
The 20,000 taels of silver given by her parents' family has been spent. Yesterday, she went to ask her aunt for the silver, but her aunt just told her to go to her parents' house to get it with a cold face.
The aunt said that the natal family could not get half of the 300,000 taels of silver. This was only 20,000 taels of silver, and the natal family did not want to give it up. Since the natal family was not willing to part with the money, they should not take the medicine.
The aunt was very unhappy and didn't give her any money.
Without money, she would not be able to buy King Jiang, her health would not be better, and she would not be able to get pregnant in the future. Then she would never be a mother or have children of her own.
She was unwilling to give in.
How could she stop taking King Jiang for so many days? Now that she stopped taking the medicine, wouldn't the more than 20,000 taels of silver have been wasted?
Besides, her health improved significantly after taking the medicine prescribed by Chu Yu.
In the past, when she went to bed at night, her hands and feet were cold and could not be warmed no matter how hard she heated them.
But now, there is no need to heat, my hands and feet are warm. Also, she used to have unbearable pain in her stomach every month when she was menstruating, especially in the first three days. The pain would make her sweat profusely and her liver and intestines would be severed.
But now, I just felt a little dull and sore the first day. After drinking warm brown sugar water, the pain is gone at all.
She clearly felt that Chu Yu's decoction was slowly changing her constitution. She believed that her cold body would be cured before long.
However, if her aunt doesn't give her money, then she... She doesn't want to stop taking the medicine. She wants to cure the cold and give birth to a legitimate son for cousin Rong San.
After much thought, she decided to start with Chu Yu. King Jiang belonged to Chu Yu. As long as Chu Yu promised to give her money on credit first, she wouldn't have to look for money everywhere.
However, unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, Chu Yu refused.
Concubine Rong Shi's face turned pale and she felt extremely embarrassed. However, for the sake of her own future and to give birth to a legitimate son for her third cousin Rong, she was willing to kneel down and beg Chu Yu.
Princess Rong spent a lot of effort to suppress the shame and anger deep in her heart. Then she raised a faint smile and said, "Your name is Chu Qiao. Miss Chu Qiao, please go and talk to Chu Qiao again." Yutong said immediately, "I...I have something urgent to come to see her, and I hope she will come out to see me."
"This servant dare not call her Concubine Rong's daughter." Chu Qiao bowed, but her tone was a bit colder than before, "My princess has already said that she has no time to see Concubine Rong. If Concubine Rong doesn't buy it, King Jiang, please come back.”
"You..."
Seeing that Chu Qiao was not getting enough, Concubine Rong Shi only felt angry.
In Prince Anjun's Mansion, even a little maid next to Chu Yu dared to embarrass her. She was too disrespectful of her, the Crown Princess of Prince Rong's Mansion.
She wanted to get angry, but when she thought of King Jiang, her anger was instantly doused by cold water.
She looked at Chu Qiao pitifully, "Just for a moment, I just need to delay Chu Yu for a while. Miss Chu Qiao, please help me and tell Chu Yu, okay?"
Chu Qiao was annoyed by her, but she didn't show it on her face. She just told her patiently, "Concubine Rong Shi, please don't embarrass me. I only obey the orders of the princess. The princess has no time to see you." , If you insist like this, aren’t you embarrassing the princess? Concubine Rong Shi should go back first and come see the princess when she is free.”
"When will Chu Yu be free?"
"How can we, the slaves, know about Master's affairs?" Chu Qiao smartly accompanied her to practice Tai Chi.
Concubine Rong Shizi waited for a long time but didn't see Xia Zihan. She went back with a look of despair.
Returning to Prince Rong's Mansion, Princess Rong was unwilling to give up, so she went to see Princess Rong and cried profusely in front of Princess Rong.
"My niece feels so miserable. Aunt, a woman can't have children in her life. This is more uncomfortable than killing her. Aunt, just kill me. I would rather die than live alone all my life. ”
I don’t know where she took out a fruit knife, stuffed it into Princess Rong’s hand, and asked Princess Rong to wipe her neck with the knife.
"Auntie, please give your niece a happy life. My niece will repay you by being a cow or a horse in the next life."
Princess Rong was almost driven crazy by her to let others kill her and to repay others.
Princess Rong threw the knife, swung it away from her, and scolded, "What the hell are you crazy about?"
