Chapter 941 I’m dying
"Hang yourself?" Xia Zihan was shocked, "I was fine the past few days." Could it be that if Princess Rong didn't give her money to continue taking the decoction, she wouldn't be able to survive and would hang herself?
"She said she didn't want to live anymore." Mrs. Zhuo kicked off her shoes, turned around and got on the kang, sitting cross-legged on the head of the kang. "The news that Concubine Rong Shi is cold and will not have children has long been spread throughout the capital. Everyone is secretly guessing. , when will Princess Rong divorce her niece?”
"I'm going to divorce her early. How could I possibly divorce her after taking tens of thousands of taels of decoction?" Xia Zihan didn't believe the rumors outside at all.
Mrs. Zhuo nodded her head fiercely, "What you are saying is that people outside are spreading rumors that Princess Rong is reluctant to spend money to treat Concubine Rong Shi, but she cannot divorce her. After all, Concubine Rong is her biological niece. Divorce her. If she becomes Concubine Rong, then she has completely broken up with her family. Will her family still recognize her in the future? ”
Zhuo's tone was a bit gloating. Xia Zihan pretended not to hear it, and reached out to pour a cup of warm tea for Zhuo. Zhuo was on her way, and after talking so many words, she was indeed thirsty.
After drinking the water, Mrs. Zhuo said again, "You said that with such a daughter-in-law, who can neither keep her nor divorce her, there is only one way to go."
That is death.
After Xia Zihan guessed this path, she was shocked, "That's her niece, how could she do it?"
"Bah, it's just her, so what if I'm my niece? For the benefit of my son, let alone killing one of my nieces, she would dare to kill a few more."
Princess Rong has always been a selfish and ruthless person. Otherwise, if Prince Rong has so many concubines, why would he only allow Princess Rong to have a child and raise the child? The other concubines would not even have a chance to get pregnant. .
Some secretly got pregnant, but they were killed by Concubine Rong.
How much affection does such a woman have for her niece?
"Didn't you say you were sick? It was serious?" Xia Zihan remembered what Zhuo said at the beginning.
Mrs. Zhuo drank the remaining half cup of tea, and quickly filled the cup herself, "She has a heart problem."
Heart disease requires heart medicine.
Concubine Rong Shi suffered from body cold at a young age, and it was difficult for her to have children in her life. With such a great stimulation, it was no wonder that she had heart problems.
"Princess Rong could obviously give her money to treat her illness, but she was reluctant to part with the money. She was still talking in front of Prince Xin's Mansion that she planned to marry Rong San an equal wife, and she wanted Princess Xin to come forward and help her see some things. Girl, tell me, Princess Rong, how can Princess Rong endure this? ”
Mrs. Zhuo curled her lips, looking down on Princess Rong's behavior. She actually valued money more than her own daughter-in-law.
Xia Zihan was also speechless.
Prince Rong's palace was filled with gold and silver, and his family had a huge fortune. Not to mention a mere 300,000 taels of silver, he could afford even three million taels of silver, but he refused to do so.
I'm afraid it's not that I'm reluctant, but I think it's not worth it for a daughter-in-law to spend so much money on medical treatment.
Spending money to treat Concubine Rong Shi is not as good as marrying Rong San an equal wife. It can also recruit more help for Rong San and recruit an extra in-law for Prince Rong's palace.
Moreover, as long as Rong San's equal wife strives to give birth to a legitimate son, then Rong Shizi's status in Prince Rong's palace will be embarrassing.
One has children and the other has no children. The two wives know who has a higher status in the house without comparing.
"Concubine Rong Shi has a fierce temper. She couldn't bear the insult, so she hanged herself." Mrs. Zhuo shook her head and sighed, feeling sorry for Concubine Rong, "Fortunately, the maid saw it, otherwise, her life would have been lost at such a young age. It’s gone.”
Xia Zihan didn't feel it was a pity.
She even wondered if there was something fishy hidden in Concubine Rong's suicide. Princess Rong is not as weak as she appears.
When they met for the first time, someone who dared to provoke her even if he asked her for something, could hit her with such a thing, but she couldn't do it.
I'm afraid that Concubine Rong Shi hanged herself intentionally. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the maid happened to see her?
If a person really wants to die, he will never be saved.
However, Princess Rong was rescued by her maid at the critical moment.
Moreover, the scandal in Prince Rong's palace has been spread. Shouldn't such a thing be subject to a gag order to prevent outsiders from knowing about it?
After Zhuo left, Xia Zihan called Chu Fei in and whispered to her, "Go and inquire about this matter, and pay more attention to Concubine Rong Shizi."
"Okay, Princess."
Chu Fei nodded, and then heard Xia Zihan's instructions, "Go to the small courtyard on West Street and pick a few more people to go with you."
She specially bought the small villa on West Street for the dozens of people under Chu Lin to live in. When Chu Lin left, she took a group of people with her and left a group of people for Chu Fei and Chu Xing to use.
After Chu Fei left, Xia Zihan kept thinking about this matter, and his mind was filled with the seemingly delicate but actually sinister face of Concubine Rong Shi.
The next day, Chu Fei didn't come back after going out all night. Xia Zihan couldn't help but worry about her safety.
However, soon, she no longer had time to think about Chu Fei. Mrs. Liao's third wife came to give New Year's gifts.
Mrs. Zhuo invited her to sit in the flower room and said, "Why do you send her so early this year?" It was just the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
"My old lady has been in poor health this year and has been lying down for several days. Everyone is surrounding her and dare not leave her. My sister-in-law said that since the New Year's gifts have been purchased, they should be given away as soon as possible."
As Mrs. Liao said this, she took off the cloak she was wearing, threw it to the maid behind her, and followed Mrs. Zhuo to sit down in the small pavilion in the flower room.
The maids came up one after another, put out the refreshments, and made Mrs. Liao a cup of her favorite scented tea.
Mrs. Liao had just come in from the outside. She was cold. She was holding a warm tea cup. The stove in the greenhouse was burning non-stop for twelve hours a day. It was as warm as autumn inside. After a while, the cold air on her body Just dispersed.
She glanced at the green grass outside the pavilion, feeling really envious, "In the future, I also want to build a greenhouse like this. A big one. I don't have so much money. I just want to build a smaller conservatory." Guest, when the time comes, introduce me to the craftsman who will build your flower room.”
"The craftsmen are from the house. If you need it when the time comes, I'll lend it to you for a few days." Mrs. Zhuo said, waving her hand, sending the maid away, and then asked her in a low voice, "What, your old lady, please hurry up." Not working anymore?”
What Madam Liao San said about repairing the flower house was alluding to what would happen after the separation.
The three brothers of the Liao family, the eldest and the second are already grandfathers. Four generations of the Liao family live together, and dozens of people can still live together because there is still Mrs. Liao. As long as Mrs. Liao dies, the three Liao brothers will Brothers get divided.
