Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Six: The Death of the Concubine
Dongfang Jin sat beside her, her handsome face was serious and crossed her shoulders: "Qingqing, what happened?"
An Qingran quietly leaned in his arms and said quietly: "Do you think I am a very cold-blooded person?"
Dongfang Jin gently stroked her back: "I think the opposite is true. No matter what happens, remember me."
An Qingran nodded softly. She felt very tired today. For the first time since she was reborn, she felt so tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and had the wish to talk for the first time: "Tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a woman who married a prince. In order to help Zuo's husband, she gave her everything. In the end, she found that he was just using himself. He had secretly crossed Chencang with his sister. When she was pregnant, they framed her. The man fed her with her hands, but the sister held their child and sent her for the last journey. In the end, she died. However, she did not expect that she would go back to her childhood. God might have seen her as too pitiful and arranged for her to live for a lifetime. If you were that little girl, what would you do?"
"This story is so interesting." Dongfang Jin looked at An Qingran with scrutiny, "I didn't expect that Qingqing was still a master of storytelling."
"I'll ask you, what would you do?"
"I? Of course, I will take revenge if I am reborn and let the man and woman pay back all their debts." Dongfang Jin's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, but he quickly said, "Qingqing, why did you suddenly remember to talk about this question? Could it be..."
An Qingran smiled bitterly: "What? Do you think I am that woman?"
"Like it."
"Really?"
"Fake it, if Qingqing is reborn, then I will feel it." Dongfang Jin shaved her small nose intimately, "But if it is true, Qingqing tells me that from now on, will we two take revenge together? "
He spoke seriously.
An Qingran felt relieved.
He should be able to accept his reborn self.
Dongfang Jin said again: "In fact, you must get revenge. People can be deceived for a lifetime, but they should not be deceived for a lifetime. No matter who they owe, they should be returned."
There was excitement in his voice.
An Qingran sighed long after hearing this, saying, "It was a kind of relief. Yes, why bother to blame yourself? If you are still weak in this life, then your mother and Mingchen will no longer exist. What's more, you will not be able to lie in his arms in this life. Such an excellent man in front of you missed his previous life, how could you miss this life?
When Dongfang Jin saw her smile blooming, the smile swayed her face with melancholy, as if the flashes of cereal were blooming in the dark night, and even the starry sky was lit up in an instant.
How could she be so beautiful?
Dongfang Jinqing couldn't help but kiss. This kiss was without any lust, just pity and emotion, touching Wen Xiangying, touching them to meet each other...
An Qingran also tightened him tightly, and he didn't want to let go of it at all.
*******
Kang Prince's Mansion.
Concubine Shu sat in King Kang's room with a complicated expression: "How is she?"
Dongfang Ye stood up: "Mother, my cousin is just venting his anger and not breathing..."
"Let me prepare those things so that I can avoid panic. Also, I will notify An's mansion and let General An and his wife come and see her for the last time." Concubine Shu glanced at the child in the wet nurse's arms again, "This child is okay, it looks really weak."
"It's a little weaker, but it's okay to know how to eat milk."
"Oh, this child was too careless. As the days were coming, this happened... By the way, he beat the maids who followed her and gave him a big slap and vented some anger for the general and his wife. He didn't even take care of the master. It was a blessing to save their lives." Concubine Shu issued an order.
Caiyun Caixia was pulled and beaten with twenty boards, and then was kicked out of the Kang Prince's Mansion and disappeared.
An Zhongtao and Lian Jinyu came soon. An Zhongtao entered the house with sadness on his face, and he didn't care about it. Although Lian Jinyu was very dissatisfied with An Yanran, some things could be left behind at this time, especially when she saw her small body lying there, she almost lost her breath. She also shed two tears and pulled An Yanran's hand: "Poor child, parents are here to see you, can you hear it?"
An Yanran suddenly started to breathe heavily. An Zhongtao also approached and called her name in a low voice. An Yanran's eyes opened, looked at the two of them in a misty way, and then slowly closed. A drop of turbid tears went down the corners of her eyes, and finally dripped onto the brocade pillow, without a trace...
An Yanran's last tear was shed by somebody, was it because of her miserable child, or was it because of her life's running around but ended up like this, or was it because of the inexplicable hatred between her sisters, or did she know everything about her past and present life at this moment?
When Concubine Shu saw An and his wife, she kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a veil, and pulled Lian Jinyu's hand with her other hand: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of your daughter."
An Zhongtao's face was depressed. He had indeed had this idea. Although An Yanran was just a concubine daughter and was ignorant, she did things that made him embarrassed, but she was her daughter after all, and she was gone, so he still blamed King Kang.
But seeing Concubine Shu like this, it is hard to say anything.
Lian Jinyu said: "No one can blame anyone for such a thing. This was originally a disaster for his daughter..."
An Zhongtao has not spoken.
Concubine Shu looked at An Zhongtao: "Yanran is my niece. I feel so painful in my heart. I think of my poor sister again. This mother and daughter are really heartbreaking. I was waiting for Yanran to give birth to a grandson, so I made her the princess. At that time, the glorious ones will be considered a happy couple... Although she has left, I cannot let her rest in peace. I will do what I said. I want to make her the princess and will always be my son's official wife. From then on, Prince Kang's mansion will not have a princess again."
After hearing what she said, An Zhongtao's face slowed down, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll follow you."
An Yanran stopped her spirit for seven days. Everyone from the court officials of various major families came to pay their respects.
An Qingran is her sister, so naturally she has to go.
She was wearing a white dress and her expression was indifferent. People who didn't know how to feel sorry for her losing a sister, but they didn't know that she was just indifferent, really indifferent.
Lou Wanyue and Dongfang Ruoxue also went there, but Qin Xiangning did not participate in the body. After burning the paper, they sat in the yard of the side building to drink tea.
Naturally, we cannot talk too much in such an occasion. Dongfang Ruoxue lowered his voice to comfort Qingran, An Qingran nodded slightly, and it was hard to say anything.
Suddenly, Dongfang Ruoxue's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with shame.
An Qingran followed her gaze, but happened to see Lian Muhan's figure flashing through the aisle. An Qingran turned around and quipped in her eyes, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but she had an idea in her heart. Maybe she should remind her uncle that the princess of Shou's mansion would not lose at all.
But Lian Muhan is usually very smart, so why is he pretending to be a dull gourd now?
Lou Wanyue's eyes also drifted for a moment, but Dongfang Run came over, still wearing a white shirt, her whole body was as moist as jade and as cold as ice. The two contradictions could appear on a person, which made people sigh.
Dongfang Run approached and came to pick Lou Wanyue back home.
Lou Wanyue stood up, and Dongfang Ruoxue also stood up.
Lou Wanyue said: "My husband just needs to send someone to pass on the news, why should we pick us up in person?"
“There are many people outside and the smell is dirty.”
An Qingran smiled and pushed Lou Wanyue, "You can leave quickly."
Lou Wanyue smiled shyly, and Dongfang Run's eyes seemed to brush over An Qingran's face unintentionally, with a hint of stunning, but then returned to normal.
Indeed, An Qingran is indeed amazing today. Her face is not as beautiful as her face, which makes people surprised if she is the fairy of the Nine Heavens and is not as good as the world?
Dongfang Jin's voice suddenly came: "You are ready to leave, we might as well be together."
Dongfang Run is not the only one who can come to the inner palace to meet his wife.
When Dongfang Jin said this, his hand wrapped around An Qingran's waist, which was so domineering that it was speechless. He looked at Dongfang Run's evil look and thought to himself that it was fortunate that Lian Muhan saw Dongfang Run coming in just now.
Since the boy was cleaned up by himself, his mind has become much more enlightened.
************
It's spiritual coming to life in seven days.
An Yanran was carried to the ancestral temple. In the name of Princess Kang, the Kyoto Lord said that it was full of ceremonial guards, spiritual banners and paper money, and all the deacons were wearing mourning clothes. From a distance, there was no other color on the street except Bai. An Qingran sat in the sedan chair, looking at everything in front of her, and a sad sneer on the corner of her mouth. An Yanran liked these false names the most. Now she got it, but she paid the price of her life. Is it worth it? I have no way to ask now.
An Qingran kept sending the ceremonial guard to Taimiao. As the elder sister, she watched her coffin fall into the soil with her own eyes. The entanglement with her previous life ended. An Qingran didn't even shed a tear. Her mind was full of grievances from her previous life. She wanted to let go, but she thought of the culprit. Dongfang Ye, who was standing aside, had little sadness on his face, and he still commanded calmly. Occasionally, she looked at her. The obscene in her eyes was what she hated the most. He actually dared to be so disrespectful to herself at An Yanran's funeral. It was not just a matter of disrespect. Last time she almost lost her cleansingly, she wanted to forget this thing that made her sick, but obviously, the man in front of her didn't want to let her go.
Her path to revenge is far from over.
An Qingran gritted her teeth secretly.
****
Kang Prince's Mansion.
The baby kept crying, and the wet nurse couldn't coax it.
Shen Zhiyun and An Ranyue stood beside and watched. They looked like they were trying hard. Finally, Shen Zhiyun said, "Come on, let me hug you."
The wet nurse sent the child to her arms. I don’t know if it was because she was tired of crying because she didn’t have a baby, or if her arms made him feel safe, the child actually stopped crying slowly, which made Shen Zhiyun’s eyes surprise. She looked at the wet nurse and said proudly: “Do you guy recognize me? Why don’t he cry?”
The wet nurse had nothing to say, a little embarrassed.
She just rubbed her swollen breasts and stepped aside: This child ate too little, and she was obviously rich, but this wealth was a headache. She always felt that this child was too weak, but she dared not say it clearly.
Shen Zhiyun looked at the little baby while holding it, and his voice was gentle: "Baby, I am your second mother."
"Why did you become the second lady?" An Ranyue spoke next to her, "Where is me?"
"Then am I a Sanniang?" Shen Zhiyun was stunned. "Actually, it's really hard to say. According to the mother's meaning, Princess Kang's position has been empty. Even if she remarries, she is just a concubine or a wife. We both must have an aunt and a second wife. It's not the turn of others to enter the mansion."
She is telling the truth.
An Ranyue was stunned when she heard this: "There is no such thing as the aunt and second wife. It is the rule in your place. In the capital, children have mothers and aunts, and second wife is the name of the uncle's woman."
Shen Zhiyun looked at her and suddenly hugged the child in his arms. Yes, there was only one mother in the Kang Mansion, and that mother would definitely agree with Prince Kang.
An Ranyue looked at her expression and laughed in her heart. Did this woman think of this? From now on, there are two women in the Kang Mansion, so who should the child call her mother?
This is the most important issue.
Shen Zhiyun then lowered his head and looked at the weak life in his arms. His eyebrows were very beautiful. His eyebrows looked exactly the same as King Kang. When he grew up, he was also a beautiful little boy. If she could take care of him, then he would be the concubine, and his future children would be the ones in the family, and he would have a good future: "Baby, look at me, I'm holding you..."
Shen Zhiyun finally stopped talking about the old lady and the second lady, but focused on the child.
An Ranyue looked at the maternal love in Shen Zhiyun's eyes, smiled, and sat on the chair next to her: "You like this child so much, do you want to take care of him?"
"If I can, I will."
"I just don't know what the mother and the prince think."
"Are they still afraid that multiple people will take care of their children? But, speaking of this, it is my sister's responsibility to take care of Lin'er." Shen Zhiyun walked over and put the child in her arms. Dongfang Lin changed into his arms and twisted uneasyly. He did not cry anymore, but fell asleep quietly.
An Ranyue's heart also softened, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled: "Lin'er is really popular. He is so quiet. When he grows up, he is probably more popular with women than the prince."
Shen Zhiyun carefully observed An Ranyue's expression. After this test, she really wanted to take care of this child. The love she liked seemed to be true, but who knows how the prince would decide.
It's night.
Shen Zhiyun sat on Dongfang Ye's body, shaking hard, tears fell from his face and dripped on Dongfang Ye's chest. Dongfang Ye's beautiful eyes were blurred, and his big hands rubbed Shen Zhiyun's softness, and he looked like he was about to shake her apart. The two of them went crazy for a long time before they stopped. Shen Zhiyun lay on Dongfang Ye's body and panted: "Prince..."
