Chapter 39: Obsessed with the Weakness of Women

Jingshu stayed up too late yesterday, and it was already bright when she woke up. She quickly got up and called Ziyun in. She couldn't help complaining: "It's already this hour, why didn't you wake me up earlier."

Ziyun folded the quilt and replied: "It's not the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and I don't have to go to greet the old lady. Why are you anxious?"

Jingshu paused with her hands and looked at Ziyun. Only then did Ziyun come back to her senses. Now that her young lady was the mistress of the house, she had a lot to do. How could she still be as free as usual?

She suddenly remembered Li Ling's instructions to go out early in the morning, and said to Jingshu: "Before leaving the house, the prince specially asked you to sleep more."

Jingshu asked: "He went to the camp?"

Ziyun replied: "The prince left before dawn. He said he would come back early today and accompany you to the princess mansion."

She really planned to go to the Princess Mansion to meet her mother-in-law today, but she didn't expect Li Ling to go too.

Jingshu ordered: "Hurry up and let them prepare the food. I have to hurry up and settle the accounts after I'm done."

Ziyun agreed and went out. Jingshu washed herself, simply pulled her hair into a bun and inserted it with a black jade hairpin.

When Ziyun and Danzhu brought breakfast, Jingshu had already packed it up quickly. Ziyun placed a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge in front of Jingshu and said with a smile: "This is what the prince specially ordered the slave to give to the little girl before he went out." The kitchen made it for you.”

Jing Shu was speechless, but Danzhu on the side couldn't help hiding her face and snickering.

Jingshu glared at her, "Why are you laughing?"

Danzhu smiled and said, "I think the prince is becoming more and more interested in our young lady."

Jingshu was speechless and just ate her breakfast.

Ziyun knew that she had been angry with Li Ling about what happened in the garden a few days ago. Although she didn't know what the unpleasantness between the two was that day, seeing how embarrassed her young lady was, she couldn't help but blame Li Ling in her heart.

Ziyun was serving Jingshu while replying to Danzhu's words: "Our young lady is good at everything. No matter who she marries, who can not treat her favorably?"

Danzhu nodded in agreement and said sincerely: "Sister is right. Among the noble girls in Chang'an City, none of them can compare to our young lady in terms of talent, appearance and temperament."

"That's right" Ziyun agreed.

Jingshu put down her chopsticks, glanced at the two of them and said, "You two, please shut up. I won't have to eat for a while and you will praise me."

The three of them were talking here, and the mother-in-law came in from outside and said to Jingshu: "Madam, Madam Qiu next to Mrs. Xiyuan has something urgent to ask for."

Aunt Qiu is Xu Wanning's wet nurse. Jingshu heard that Aunt Qiu had something urgent to do with her, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring her in.

When Grandma Qiu entered the main room, she didn't even bother to say hello to Jingshu. She breathed heavily and said hurriedly: "Second Madam, please go and persuade our madam."

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Jingshu replied: "Mom, don't worry, what happened?"

As he spoke, Ziyun brought a bowl of hot tea and advised: "Mommy, don't be anxious, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Aunt Qiu ran over all the way. She was thirsty, so she brought it over and took two big gulps. Then she calmed down and said, "The eldest lady wants to kill someone!"

  homicide?

Jingshu and Ziyun looked at each other and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

Aunt Qiu calmed down and replied: "It's all because of the palace concubine called Mei Niang who was rewarded to the uncle by the palace. She came to greet the eldest madam late today. The eldest madam only scolded her a few words, but she actually Fainted in Bitangju."

Danzhu snorted at the side and said disdainfully, "What a fox."

Jingshu glared at Danzhu, then turned to Aunt Qiu and said, "Is this why sister-in-law is angry?"

Aunt Qiu continued: "When the uncle learned about this, he came over and started arguing with his wife without saying a word. The two of them argued all morning."

Don't blame Xu Wanning for being angry.

Jingshu put on her coat and said to Aunt Qiu, "I'll go over and take a look."

As if she had gained the backbone, Aunt Qiu muttered: "Second Madam, please go quickly. After the uncle left, our madam took all the girls out and stayed alone in the room." As she said that, she came closer to Jingshu. , whispered: "I was worried. I peeked through the crack in the door and saw her sitting quietly sharpening a knife."

Danzhu was so shocked that he opened his mouth and said, "Oh my God! Madam, you can't think too hard." Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu scolded Danzhu and said, "Our madam will not do stupid things." She paused. , looked at Jingshu and whispered: "I guess she wants to kill the concubine."

 With Xu Wanning's temperament, she can really do it.

 It’s just that the beautiful girl was rewarded by the palace, so she cannot be killed.

Jingshu said no more, walked out, and followed Aunt Qiu to Bitangju.

When they arrived at Bitangju, Jingshu stood outside and knocked on the door. No reply was heard for a long time. Aunt Qiu looked in through the crack in the door and lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady is still sitting there sharpening her knife." .”

Jingshu waved her hand towards Aunt Qiu, gesturing for her to step back, then opened the door and walked in.

 Xu Wanning was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch with her back to her.

   Not sharpening a knife, but carefully wiping a long sword with a cloth.

Jing Shu suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the concubine "died suddenly" within a few months of entering the palace, and then related to the fact that Li Xian had not been able to join the cabinet in her previous life. Now she finally understood the cause and effect of the matter: it must have been Xu Wanning's fault because of that. The palace concubine was disrespectful and killed her in a fit of rage. The woman was given by the Holy Emperor and she died violently within a few days of entering the Zhenguo Palace. Naturally, the Holy Emperor wanted to get angry at Li Xian, so he had clearly secured the cabinet. It's ruined.

 This palace concubine cannot be killed!

Even if it wasn't for Li Xian and the Zhenguo Government, she had to stop him just for Xu Wanning. With Li Xian's temperament, if he really didn't get promoted because of Xu Wanning, how could he let her go.

In her last life, not long after the palace concubine died suddenly, she vaguely heard that Li Xian wanted to divorce his wife, but it seemed that the old lady suppressed him later.

It can be seen that the reason why the two of them had such a quarrel in their last life was because of this matter.

 She had to find a way to stop Xu Wanning.

Jingshu walked over to Xu Wanning and sat down. Seeing that she looked gloomy and didn't speak, Jingshu glanced at her face and said, "What's the matter? Are you really going to kill someone?"

Xu Wanning then raised her eyes, stood up and swung her sword towards a flower tree on the table, and immediately flattened the crown of the tree.

The movements are clean and neat, and there is something heroic about it.

Jingshu said: "I didn't expect you to have such skill."

Xu Wanning looked back at her, then sat back on the couch, looked at the sword carefully, and murmured: "This sword was given to me by my father when I was in my boudoir."

Jingshu looked at the sword in Xu Wanning's hand and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is from a general family, and the things Uncle Xu gave to my daughter are different from ordinary people."

Seeing that Xu Wanning still had an angry look on her face, Jing Shu continued: "Sister-in-law, are you going to use the sword given by your uncle to kill a concubine?"

Xu Wanning suddenly came over and spat fiercely: "She deserves it too!"

"She really doesn't deserve it," Jing Shu said.

 Xu Wanning withdrew her sword, looked at Jing Shu, and said angrily: "But I really can't swallow this breath. I think that my noble and courageous noble daughter will be angered by a **** today."

Jingshu said: "That's because you want to be angry! Since you think she doesn't deserve it, why are you still angry?"

 Xu Wanning was silent for a while and said to Jing Shu: "I'm not just for that bitch. Didn't you see how Li Xian came to see her angrily today?"

As he spoke, Xu Wanning's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs: "I have been married to him for so many years and have given birth to children for her. She never thought that in her heart, I, my wife, would be worse than a humble concubine."

Jingshu handed over the handkerchief and advised: "You are overestimating yourself if you think like this. No matter how favored she is, she is nothing more than a concubine, relying on charming ways to curry favor with men. If you are living with your elder brother because of this, wouldn't you be playing into her hands?" "

Xu Wanning tried her tears and said, "You didn't see her charming look in front of Li Xian. I really don't understand. Is Li Xian an idiot? Can't you really see her tricks?"

Li Xian was the top student in high school at the age of eighteen, but he was a well-known talent in Chang'an City, and he was now prospering in the officialdom.

 He is not an idiot! It's just obsession, obsession with the weakness of women, obsession with the satisfaction of a male protecting the weak.
