Sun Mengmeng has been in a daze since the death of the concubine. When the concubine was alive, she felt that she still had hope of marrying Ye Shihan. But after the concubine died, her only hope was gone. She felt gloomy in her heart.
The feeling never stops.
Although Taishi Sun tried his best to arrange several marriage arrangements for her, she was not satisfied. There was no man in the world who could make her heart beat like Ye Shihan.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Taishi Sun's status has been directly weakened. He can only stay at home most of the time. Although his son also holds a position in the civil service department of the court, without Taishi Sun's support, his power is also much weaker.
In addition, they were not well-liked by people in the court, so the Sun family was in some decline.
This must be based on the generosity of the current emperor, otherwise veterans of the former dynasty like him should be directly exiled.
Because of this, Sun Mengmeng's mood was greatly affected, so she blamed Su Mu'er because she took Ye Shihan away. She even felt that Xiao Yuanyuan was the one who stopped her from marrying Ye Shihan. If she hadn't
If I had to fight with her in the first place, maybe she would have gotten what she wanted long ago, and there would be nothing to do with Su Mu'er.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart tightened. Sitting in the boudoir, her whole mood was extremely bad.
The girl Xin'er came to her cautiously and whispered: "Miss, the seventh princess is here."
Su Muer?
"What is she here for?"
"I don't know. I'm talking to Madam in the main hall now, but she named you, Miss."
Are you here to find her? Sun Mengmeng twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled disdainfully,
"Shouldn't she be lying in Ye Shihan's arms and enjoying her gentle home now? How can she come to me in time? She and I are not so good that we have to visit each other. It seems that she doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
ah."
Xin'er also nodded in agreement,
"What the lady is saying is that the slave also thinks she is not a good person. Although she only brought one girl, her posture is a bit scary."
Sun Mengmeng couldn't stand Su Muer the most, so she stood up angrily.
"What is there to be afraid of? She is a human being, not a ghost. I would like to meet her."
After saying that, she quickly stood up, tidied up her appearance, and then walked out of the door.
Su Muer was chatting with Sun Mengmeng's mother, Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun was a sensible person, but when it came to her daughter's marriage, she shook her head.
"Princess, you are well-informed outside. Tell me what's going on with this girl? No one likes her. She's already in her early twenties. What's going to happen if she continues like this? If she doesn't get married, she won't get married.
If you can't get married, our Sun family can't afford to lose this person."
Although Su Muer came here for something, she had to say a few words when Mrs. Sun mentioned it.
"Don't be anxious, Mrs. Sun. Marriage depends half on hard work and half on fate. I think her fate has not come yet. If it does, I won't be able to stop her even if I want to."
"Oh, that's what I said, but I'm still worried. What do you think I'll do if I can't get married again? Miss Xiao is already married, and she was also named a eldest princess by the emperor. What a high honor it is.
, but Mengmeng, you said..."
At this moment, Sun Mengmeng's displeased voice came in,
"Mom, are you arranging me behind my back again?"
While talking, she came to Su Muer and knelt down to salute.
"Princess Jixiang, why does the princess have time to come to my house? Looking for me?"
Su Muer nodded without any secret,
"Yes, I have something to do with Miss Sun."
Sun Mengmeng neatly sat down opposite her, waving her hands disdainfully,
"Please tell me something. I'm going to learn how to work as a female worker later, so I'm very busy."
Su Muer pursed her lips and chuckled, then looked at Mrs. Sun,
"Mrs. Sun, please step aside."
"No need, I don't have any secrets that I can't let my mother know. Princess, just tell me what you have to say."
Mrs. Sun stood up and waved her hands very wisely.
"There's still soup simmering in my pot. You guys talk first and I'll go take a look."
After Su Muer nodded to her, she left quickly.
When Sun Mengmeng saw her mother leaving, she directly picked up the tea in front of her and started drinking. After a cup of tea, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Muer and asked:
"Are you here for Xiao Yuanyuan?"
Su Mu'er didn't expect that her guess was quite accurate. It seemed that this matter must have something to do with her.
She also said bluntly:
"Yes, I want to know what you and Wang Biao said yesterday? Why didn't he go home?"
Sun Mengmeng looked at her in surprise with wide eyes, then suddenly raised her head and sneered,
"Hahaha, Wang Biao didn't go home? Didn't enter the bridal chamber? This is really ridiculous. Xiao Yuanyuan wanted to compete with me, but now she's still being toyed with by me?"
The more she heard this, Su Mu'er's brows furrowed even more tightly, "You are indeed the one who was causing trouble. What did you say to Wang Biao? Do you know that because of this incident, the Emperor was furious and had already killed Wang Biao?
In jail."
This news was a bit surprising to Sun Mengmeng. She originally just wanted to teach Xiao Yuanyuan a lesson, but she didn't expect that Wang Biao was really so stupid.
But she will not sympathize with them. She is not happy in her life now, and she will not allow others to be happier than she is.
Thinking of this, she chuckled, "What does it have to do with me whether he goes to prison or not? Why should I tell you what happened between Wang Biao and me?"
Seeing her acting like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Su Muer looked at her coldly, pondered for a while and said:
"Don't forget, Xiao Yuanyuan is the emperor's savior. She is also the emperor's eldest princess. If she knows that you slandered her in front of Wang Biao on the day of her wedding, she will not let you go. She casually did it in front of the emperor.
Tell her one of the crimes of your Sun family, do you think the emperor will believe her?"
Su Muer's words were indeed very shocking. Sun Mengmeng paused for a few seconds, but then she started to sneer again,
"What does this matter have to do with my Sun family? Wang Biao has a bad character and lost his moral character after drinking. If I hadn't taken care of the face of the eldest princess Xiao Yuanyuan, I would have complained to the emperor about this matter.
When the time comes, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that Wang Biao will be beheaded directly.”
Su Muer had a bad premonition from Sun Mengmeng's words. She raised her eyes and asked again,
"What do you mean by this? I know Wang Biao very well. Although he is honest and honest, he will not do anything excessive. Besides, you took the initiative to stop him when he left the palace that day. You don't want to
It’s nonsense and it’s ruining your own reputation.”
"Why should I be afraid of reputation when I'm like this? To tell you the truth, I called him that day because I wanted to ask him about a case in the government office. Who would have thought that when he saw me, he would hug me and say,
While complimenting me on my beauty, he pushed me to the ground and violated me. At that time... um um... I resisted hard, but... but he was tall and strong... my body... was just like this
He took it away."
Her words hit Su Muer's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue. Even if she were killed, she wouldn't believe it. How could Wang Biao do such a thing?
But it doesn't look like Sun Mengmeng is joking. Besides, which woman who has not yet left the government would joke about something like this? Judging from her words and Biaozi's abnormality, this matter is most likely true.
But this was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing, so she felt a little at a loss.
Sun Mengmeng raised her silk handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said again aggrievedly:
"Originally, I was going to keep this in my stomach, but the princess came to question me today. If I didn't say it, I might not be able to clean it up even if I jumped into the Yellow River. Now that I've said it, there's nothing to be afraid of. Looking back
I will go and confess to Xiao Yuanyuan and ask her to forgive Wang Biao for his impulsiveness, not to blame him, and to ask the emperor to let Wang Biao go."
These words sounded like she was thinking about Xiao Yuanyuan, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was trying to add insult to injury. Which woman would allow her husband-in-law to do such permissive things with other women on their wedding day?
When Su Muer got this fact, she felt that she was speechless. Before she came, she thought of a lot of ways to persuade Sun Mengmeng to tell the truth. Who would have thought that now she was unable to persuade her. To be honest, no woman had ever met her.
No one can explain this kind of thing with just a few words.
So she sighed helplessly, "I've wronged Miss Sun. I didn't expect Wang Biao to do such a treacherous thing. I will apologize to you on his behalf, but please don't tell Xiao Yuanyuan about this yet. She has been hurt now."
Now, we can’t let her know about this anymore.”
Sun Mengmeng couldn't help but secretly taunted in her heart: She deserved to be hurt. It would be best for her to never recover from the fall, otherwise how could she relieve the hatred in her heart.
However, she still happily agreed to Su Muer. After all, she was the princess now, and the emperor regarded Ye Shihan as the regent. The Sun family could not offend her.
"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to ruin my reputation with my own hands."
She said this, but she didn't think so in her heart.
Su Mu'er saw that there was no point in continuing the conversation, so she got up and left with Liu Ye.
After running around for a day, she felt a little tired, Liu Ye couldn't help but persuade her,
"Princess, please go back to your mansion and rest first. You didn't get a good rest during the wedding ceremony yesterday, and you've been running around for another day today. How can the princess' body bear this?"
Su Mu'er sighed secretly. She felt that Liu Ye's words made sense. She originally wanted to go see Xiao Yuanyuan, but she felt that she really couldn't bear to see her sad look. She should go back home first and go to see her tomorrow morning.
Bar.
"Liu Ye, go back home."
After a tiring day, she really wanted to take a good rest.
As soon as the carriage she was riding in left, Xin'er went to inform Sun Mengmeng.
"Miss, they have returned to the palace."
Sun Mengmeng raised her eyebrows and twitched the corners of her mouth, and said disdainfully:
"Okay, let's go to the princess mansion."
"Miss, do you really want to go? If this spreads, whether true or false, your reputation will be completely ruined."
"No, she, Xiao Yuanyuan, is a face-conscious person. Even if she knew about this, she would just break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. On the contrary, if I didn't tell her, wouldn't that be a pity for the friendship between me and her that we have known each other for many years?
.”
Although Xin'er was still a little worried, she didn't dare to stop her too much. Instead, she changed her clothes directly, combed her hair, and then called the carriage to go out.
Xiao Yuanyuan lay in bed all day. She thought repeatedly about whether she should plead with the emperor when she entered the palace tomorrow and ask him to let Wang Biao go.
In the end, the result she gave herself was that as long as Wang Biao admitted his mistake and explained what happened yesterday, she would forgive him. Otherwise, it would not be a glorious thing to divorce just after getting married, especially since she still cares about him very much.
.
Just as I was thinking about it, the girl Xueer came to retaliate.
"Princess, Miss Sun is here."
Sun Mengmeng,
She sat up suddenly. What was she doing here? They hadn't seen each other for probably a few years. She wouldn't be so kind to visit her because of old friendship, would she?
But since everyone is here, there is no reason for her to disappear.
So she quickly got up, straightened her clothes, and told Xue'er:
"Miss Sun, please go to the main hall. I will be there soon."
After hearing this, Xueer went to deliver the order. Xiao Yuanyuan sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair. She didn't want Sun Mengmeng to see her haggard look, otherwise she would definitely gloat.
She simply applied rouge again, and then went to the main hall of the princess mansion.
Sun Mengmeng was already waiting in the main hall. Her face changed from the previous expression to a sad one.
"Why does Miss Sun have time to come to my princess's house as a guest?"
She specially raised the words "Princess's Mansion", and naturally there was a bit more pride in her words.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
When she saw her, she covered her face and cried. This scene made Xiao Yuanyuan a little confused. Although she knew that Sun Mengmeng was usually more rebellious, this sudden move was really surprising.
She frowned and looked at her, and asked in confusion:
"Why are you doing this? We haven't seen each other for several years, why do we talk like this when we meet? How have you been sorry to me? What mistakes have you made?"
While she was asking questions, Sun Mengmeng had already started sobbing, and she was crying so hard.
Seeing that she had been crying, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly snatched the cattail leaf fan from Xue'er's hand and kept shaking it. She wanted to wait for Sun Mengmeng to finish crying. She wanted to know what she could say later to make her
Come on unexpectedly.
After a while, she finally stopped crying, and the girl behind her also wiped her master's face with a sad face and muttered,
"Miss, you have been wronged but you still come to apologize to others. Where does this make sense? Miss, please stop crying. It will make my heart hurt if you cry again."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanyuan frowned. She had long known that Sun Mengmeng was coming with bad intentions, but she couldn't guess where she was acting.
So she stretched out her hands in surprise and pressed down,
"Miss Sun, please stop crying. Since you came to me, you must have something to tell me. If you cry like this, how can I know what you want to say?"
Sun Mengmeng paused for a moment, wiped her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, and then said:
"Sister Yuanyuan, it's really hard for me to talk about this. Doesn't my sister know about it at all? Didn't the consort say anything when he came back?"
Prince Consort?
What is the relationship between her and Wang Biao? They don't know each other at all.
Thinking of this, she asked in surprise:
"What do you mean by that? What happened to the consort? Have you seen him?"
Speaking of this, Sun Mengmeng started crying again. Upon seeing this, Xin'er said directly to Xiao Yuanyuan:
"Please, the eldest princess, please withdraw all the servants. You don't care, but our lady still cares. Our lady is still the eldest daughter who has not left the palace."
When she spoke like this, Xiao Yuanyuan felt even more confused, but she still waved her hand to Xue'er,
"Let everyone retreat, and you should guard the door. Don't let anyone in without my order."
Xue'er glanced at Sun Mengmeng, then nodded and retreated with all the girls in the main hall.
"You can tell me now, what happened?"
Sun Mengmeng was still sobbing, Xin'er patted her back to comfort her,
"Miss, otherwise we shouldn't talk about this. It would be embarrassing if we did."
"No, I feel sorry for Sister Yuanyuan if I don't tell you, and I feel uncomfortable holding it in."
Seeing the strange look of the master and servant, Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't help but said:
"If you have anything to say, just say it. It will get dark soon."
Seeing that she was a little impatient, Sun Mengmeng simply pulled off the brocade handkerchief that had never left her mouth and nose, and said directly:
"I'll risk it all. For Sister Yuanyuan's happiness, I'd better say it."
She seemed to be very determined, so Xiao Yuanyuan naturally listened attentively.
"Yesterday afternoon I saw the prince-in-law outside the palace. I originally wanted to ask him about a case in Shuntian Mansion. That case was related to a distant relative of mine. But when the prince-son-in-law saw me, he insisted on finding someone.
When we talked about this in a secluded place, I didn’t think much about it and followed him to an alley. Then he suddenly started kissing me. He also said that I was so beautiful and that he liked me when he saw me. I resisted at all costs, but
His strength was too great, and it was dark at the time, so I didn't dare to call for help, for fear that someone would hear me and insult my reputation. In the end, he just pushed me to the ground and took me by force...
Uh-huh..."
At this point, she suddenly took out a bloody handkerchief from her waist.
"This is what I left yesterday. I originally wanted to burn it, but I wanted you to recognize the face of the consort, Sister Yuanyuan, so I came to you. Don't be angry."
not angry?
Xiao Yuanyuan was almost furious at this time. No wonder he didn't come back to the bridal chamber yesterday. It turned out that he had a bridal chamber with someone else outside.
She clenched her fists in anger. She had been fighting with Sun Mengmeng for many years, but finally lost to her. Her groom was actually having an affair with this woman. How could she accept this?
Seeing that she was silent, Sun Mengmeng pretended to be kind and comforted her.
"Sister, I'm really sorry for you. I didn't expect the prince-in-law to be this kind of person. Please don't get angry with me because of this!"
"roll!"
She suddenly squeezed out this word from her throat. Seeing this, Sun Mengmeng looked at her aggrievedly,
"Sister, I'm here to remind you regardless of my own honor, how can you talk like this?"
"roll……"
Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly raised her voice and roared again. Seeing this, Xue'er who was guarding outside hurriedly ran in. Seeing that her master was very angry, she directly issued an eviction order to Sun Mengmeng.
"Miss Sun, please come back."
Sun Mengmeng did not force herself to stay, but was helped up by Xin'er. When she walked to the door, she suddenly stood up and looked back at her.
"Sister, you have to take care of yourself. A man like the prince-in-law dares to do such a thing behind my sister's back on the day of his wedding when he became a policeman. There is no guarantee that he will not let go of the girls at home in the future..."
