Difficult to be a Concubine - C311 Surrey (VI)
He picked up the jar and continued to drink. Only when he was drunk would he be able to stop the pain from his deep-seated love.
“General Chen, what should we do?”
A trace of struggle flashed across Chen Lie’s eyes, and he finally said: “How is a man without a woman, whoever becomes a great man should not bother with small details, I am here to meddle in small details.”
He still had one more thing to say, that Yang Zixuan was also in the same camp, so he had to dissuade his lord.
Su Ruirui was so immersed in his memories that he did not even hear the conversation between the two.
The study room was filled with the aroma of alcohol, and what was obstructing the steps of the Eunuch Fan and Chen Lie was the pain in Su Ruirui’s heart.
It was too thick to let go, and it couldn’t be tied up!
“Mistress, the Dark Guard just sent a message. This matter, is related to …” Eunuch Fan frowned. He didn’t want to say it, but he had no choice but to report it to him.
Su Ruirui opened his drunk eyes, the pain in his eyes made anyone who saw him sad.
Eunuch Fan opened his mouth, but no matter what, he could not say what else he wanted to say.
Su Ruirui reached out his hand to him, and the Eunuch Fan gave him the slip of paper.
“Damn woman.”
He lowered his head to glance at it, and the paper in his hand was almost crushed by him.
“Hmph, I underestimated her.”
So it turned out that the reason why Yang Zixuan was able to successfully marry her was because the Princess Xiangyang was secretly adding fuel to the fire.
This caused Su Ruirui to feel as if he had fallen into an ice kiln.
“Sang’er! Sang’er!”
Su Ruirui muttered to himself. It was as if his heart had been taken away by someone else.
“Master!” Eunuch Fan quickly stepped forward and took out a clean handkerchief, wanting to help him bandage his other hand.
“Your hand is injured, this servant will call for the Golden Sore Medicine.”
Just then, in his rage, Su Ruirui had shattered the wine jar in his hand with one hand, the broken pieces of the porcelain sticking into his palm, and fresh blood flowed down from the center of his palm.
Su Ruirui’s hand was tightly clenched into a fist. Eunuch Fan used all his strength but still could not separate his fingers one by one.
“Master, if you are unhappy, please beat and scold this servant. Just don’t hurt your own body.”
“If master wishes to see wood girl, this servant will immediately send someone to capture her.”
“No need!” Su Ruirui spread open the center of his right hand. As expected, the porcelain plate had stabbed into his palm.
“Father only taught me the way of governance. The matriarch only taught me how to live on, but no one taught me …”
No one had taught him that there was another love in this world called — love!
“Master!” The Eunuch Fan trembled in fear, and quickly and carefully looked around.
Chen Lie sighed lightly, and said: “Master, great things are important, how can we let this matter get out of hand? Master will not think for himself, but for the wood girl, think for the soldiers who follow Master.”
“Chen Lie, did you ever want to meet a woman?”
Su Ruirui’s words were pointed straight at Jianxin, and he said, “Your wife and you have grown up together. You and her have a deep bond, but have you really fallen in love with her?”
Chen Lie’s expression changed, and replied respectfully afterwards: “I dare not disobey mother and father’s orders!”
“You don’t know, you don’t understand.” Su Ruirui shook his dizzy head. He felt pain in his chest, as though a sharp knife was stabbing it back and forth. The pain made him not dare to close his eyes, and he could only rely on alcohol to anesthetize himself.
“I want to go find her. She wants the position of wangfei. I’ll just give it to her to stabilize the line, but she’s taking an inch at a time?” Ying De, Chen Lie, why don’t you two discuss the matter. Who in the world made a mistake? How can my Xiao Sangsang accept Yang Zixuan’s shameless proposal? Why isn’t she willing to wait for me? ”
The drunk Su Ruirui seemed to have become a completely different person.
Eunuch Fan was shaken senseless by his actions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: “Master, right now, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Actually, it is not a good thing for the wood girl to be engaged to Young Master Yang, if you insist, I’m afraid it will harm her.”
His words were like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed onto Su Ruirui’s head.
“I killed her! Burp! How could I possibly harm her!”
He grabbed Eunuch Fan’s collar forcefully, the smell of alcohol spraying all over his face.
Su Ruirui felt too bitter in his heart. Why would he harm her, how could he bear to do so, it was too late even if he felt pain in her hands. However, she couldn’t wait, and he couldn’t wait either …
“Mistress, Eunuch Fan is right. wood girl is more suitable to marry into the house of the Marquis.” Chen Lie said straightforwardly without fear of death.
Su Ruirui stood there and looked out of the window with his empty eyes. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the dried up leaves were falling down from the branches, causing people to feel pain and sorrow!
It was as if he was mourning for Su Ruirui’s first love, or perhaps it was the only time in his life that he had been moved.
“I know who you’re talking about. I underestimated her or the power behind her.”
Eunuch Fan and Chen Lie looked at each other, and in the end, Eunuch Fan still wore a bitter face as he stepped forward and said, “Master, not only is Royal Concubine fine, even Imperial Concubine and Master’s ancestors cannot tolerate her.”
Su Ruirui’s biological mother, the current Concubine, would never let a girl like Mu Rousang, who had no background, ruin his only son’s future prospects.
All obstacles must be hanged in her eyes.
Absolute, merciless!
How much of the truth could the person sitting on it have?
The royal family has been merciful since ancient times!
From then on, Su Ruirui was like a walking corpse. After Mu Rousang’s arranged marriage, his actions became more ruthless.
“Master, Prince will come later. He must be here to keep Master company.” Ning Xiang’s joyous voice came from outside.
When Princess Xiangyang heard this, she immediately ordered her subordinates, “Quick, quick, bring me the new gown with the red and gold threads for the Void Butterfly love flowers. I want to dress up properly.”
Ning Xiang’s smile slightly froze, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
However, seeing the Owner’s happy look, she did not dare say it out loud, as she was afraid that she would ruin her master’s mood.
She knew that even though Owner was dressed like that little girl, she still could not replace that little girl’s position in her master’s heart.
How could the Princess Xiangyang not know that she was just lying to herself?
On one hand, she would often ask about news regarding the manor for her father. On the other hand, she also wished that Su Ruirui could turn around and take a look at her.
She looked over the wall and looked towards Su Ruirui’s study. Recalling the rows and rows of green mulberry trees, she wished that she could eat their flesh and bones.
“Ning Xiang, based on the date, the Eunuch Lu should have arrived in Shu Province by now.”
“According to this eunuch’s trip, he should have arrived in Sichuan a few days ago.” In fact, Ning Xiang disapproved of Owner’s decision. That young lady was brought into the palace, and in that gloomy place, she would probably not live past a year, just like her own sister before she entered the palace. In just two or three months, she had already died.
How old was her sister then? He’s not even seven years old.
The lives of the servants were like the grass by the road, anyone could step on them.
“Mistress, is this really good?” Ning Xiang couldn’t help but ask her in the end.
“Who would have thought that I did it? This is something that royal father personally ordered me to do, what does it have to do with me, the Princess Xiangyang? ”
Who would have known that Eunuch Lu was a loach that would not let go? In the blink of an eye, he had given up the threat of guarding to Chen Lie, but out of reverence for Su Ruirui, the cold prince, this father-in-law who knew how to use wind and order had already sold her all clean.
She changed into a long, tender red dress with a plain white skirt. She picked out a golden peony crown for herself and put it on, then painted the spot between her eyebrows with a powder anchor.
“Princess, the prince is here.”
The girl outside the door opened the curtain and reported softly to the inside.
Princess Xiangyang waved her hand, gesturing for the little girl beside him to get out of the way. She stood up with a smile on her face, and lightly lifted her skirt.
“Your Royal Highness, you’re here!”
Princess Xiangyang immediately went to welcome him.
He wanted to reach out and grab Su Ruirui’s arm, but he dodged it like a snake and immediately took three steps to the left.
“Princess, please behave yourself.”
Princess Xiangyang’s beautiful face instantly turned pale, and her mouth full of silver teeth nearly shattered from gnashing.
Now that Su Ruirui was looking at her, it was like a thorn piercing into his eyes.
Who would be willing to let her get close to him?
“Your Highness!” Princess Xiangyang suppressed the displeasure in her heart and looked up at him. However, unexpectedly, she ran into a pair of cold eyes which were filled with bone marrow.
Cold and emotionless!
She looked at him as if he was a dead man?
That’s right, her eyes were looking at a dead man!
Princess Xiangyang guessed, could it be that Mu Rousang had already been captured by Rwanda?!
What a pleasure.
It was a pity that the prince would probably hate him for a period of time.
She lowered her head slightly, covering the calculations in her eyes.
It didn’t matter, as her mother had said, men had no brains, especially after being hooked up to a bed.
She was his wife, and she had a lifetime to impress him.
She could slow her steps, act generous, pretend to be a virtuous woman, pretend to be gentle and considerate, and she could also act like his flower of interpretation.
Su Ruirui moved another two steps to the left without leaving a trace, and once again widened the distance between the two.
The blizzard was brewing in his eyes, as if it would pour out in the next moment.
Princess Xiangyang felt that no matter what kind of expression Su Ruirui had on her face, she would definitely fall for him.
The light and shadows of the entire world had disappeared to who knows where, and only the figure of Su Ruirui, who was in front of her eyes, kept enlarging and enlarging.
Suddenly, her neck felt cold, then tight, and she found herself unable to breathe. Her neck felt as if something had tightly wrapped around it, making her unable to breathe.
So it wasn’t her imagination.
It was true.
Su Ruirui’s eyes were filled with madness, his strong and forceful hands tightly grabbed onto her tender neck, and he gritted his teeth as he whispered into her ear: “As long as I use even a little more strength, you will not be able to see the setting sun anymore. You dare to ignore my orders again and again, how much do you want me to forget about you?”
Princess Xiangyang was now truly afraid. She believed that the man in front of her would not really have the impulse to abandon her, but — but he could think of thousands of ways to make her die a peaceful death that would not arouse any suspicions.
“I am your wangfei. I won’t allow you to only have her in your eyes. You are my husband, and I am your legal and proper wife.”
Su Ruirui seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, but he didn’t laugh, and continued to look at her expressionlessly. “Don’t think that just because you’re the Grand Preceptor’s daughter you can disregard this king.”
The Grand Preceptor was the head of the three officials, and the worst part of all was that he was the one who served most of the court’s civil court.
Otherwise, how could a woman with such an iron hand like the esteemed wangfei be so determined to reject Su Ruirui’s marriage annulment? She even forcefully suppressed this matter.
After experiencing all these, even though she knew that it would only harm her son, she had no other choice!
“Prince, please stop. Mistress, Mistress is about to suffocate!” Ning Xiang was stunned at first, but then she reacted and quickly went forward to pull Su Ruirui’s arm.
“If he is a loyal dog, I wonder if he will be able to eventually grind and kill a donkey.”
No one had expected it to turn out to be true!
“Humph!” Su Ruirui stared at the Princess Xiangyang with cold eyes and said, “You better calm down for this king. Otherwise, don’t blame this king for getting nasty.”
Su Ruirui couldn’t touch the Grand Preceptor yet, but he had already sent people to secretly gather evidence against him.
If they dared to touch his weak spot, they would definitely make these people pay the price.
Princess Xiangyang would never have thought that because of this act of hers, back then, when she was young, she would remember that youth who had always wanted to repay the debt of gratitude with his body, and because of her jealousy, the girl he loved would ultimately marry into an ordinary family.
And because of this, her own family had paid a terrible price for it.
Although Mu Rousang was persistent and refused to compromise to this generation that had a higher status than her, Su Ruirui was not willing to blame Mu Rousang at all. He could only blame Princess Xiangyang, because she was too pressing on him, finally allowing her to choose an opponent that he had never placed in his eyes before.
It was only when Princess Xiangyang was beaten into the cold palace that she realized that the so called direct descendant she had been wearing was actually not Su Ruirui’s flesh and blood at all. She had arranged the guards and randomly found a beggar to disguise as him in the city.
She clearly remembered that the one who was obviously Su Ruirui was him. She just couldn’t remember how he became an ordinary beggar in the end.
No wonder she wanted to rely on her son to keep him, but she never looked back.
So it turned out that she had never entered his eyes from the very beginning.
Day after day in the cold palace, she asked for her own spring rice with sticks. It was unknown since when a small mulberry tree had grown in her small courtyard.
Once, countless times, she had struck at the sapling with a stick made of spring rice, scarring the poor sapling, but by the next year, the sapling had sprouted tenaciously again.
She thought bitterly that the thing she hated the most in her life was mulberry trees.
However, as she grew older, she stopped tormenting the sapling and instead took good care of it.
Because she still hadn’t given up, she had always hoped that there would be a day when the matter of a mulberry tree being planted here would spread to his ears, hoping that Su Ruirui would think of her at some point in time. Then, she would come to the Cold Palace to take a look at her.
To the person he loved, he was someone who could suppress the emotions in his heart and couldn’t beg.
For those who do not love, even if it is gentle, rich and wealthy, he will not be able to stay for a moment.
When she was still in Princess Xiangyang, she had always wanted to burn that patch of mulberry grove at the side of her study, but she only dared to think about it. She did not move at all, and continued to think about it with a smile on her face.
Several years later, under the crushing pressure of the spring thunder, the mulberry tree in the cold palace finally collapsed, smashing through the roof of the small courtyard. Only then did the crowd discover that beneath the mulberry tree was a female corpse.
In the end, all that was left was a sparse mat that was rolled up and thrown away to the unmarked cemetery.
The once domineering and arrogant Princess Xiangyang, who once caused countless girls in the girls’ families to envy him, had actually ended up like this.
Love was born to be a calamity. If you could break it, it would be marriage. If you couldn’t, it would be evil!
