After Dawn Chapter 3: The concubine becomes a concubine (3)
Feng Yue and Xuanyuan Chao came back one after the other. When she saw Feng Yue, Huo Qingran's eyes lit up. She had an indescribable trust and reliance on this immortal brother, but after finding out that there was another Xuanyuan Chao behind her, she had no idea what to do. He flinched again stubbornly.
Feng Yue motioned to Xuanyuan Chao to stop in front of the prison door and walked in by herself.
"Brother Immortal." Hearing her name, Xuanyuan Chaocheng, who was standing at the door of the prison, had a black face.
Feng Yue walked over, knelt down in front of her again, gently combed her messy hair, and asked casually, "Qing Ran, do you remember your concubine Huo Sirong?"
The three words Huo Sirong seemed to be a curse, Qing Ran screamed, broke free from Feng Yue's hand, buried her head in her knees, and she could see that she was trembling all over.
Feng Yue and Xuanyuan Chao looked at each other, neither of them thought that Qing Ran would react this way. It stands to reason that Huo Qing Ran now only has memories of when she was eleven or twelve years old, that is, she was still in the prime minister's mansion. When she was blessed, Huo Sirong was a concubine sister. In the prime minister's mansion, a family with many children, it was hard to say whether she could remember it, but she didn't expect her to have a ghostly expression.
Feng Yue put her hand on her shoulder, intending to ask her what happened, but found that her shoulder twitched and she was crying.
"Qing Ran, what's the matter?" Feng Yue asked, his voice seemed to have magic power, which calmed Qing Ran's anxiety all at once.
"Rong Rong, Rong Rong..." She choked out the name, "Rong Rong is dead."
Dead? how is this possible! Xuanyuan Chao was the first to not believe it, but Feng Yue felt that there was a ghost inside.
"When did Rong Rong die?"
"Six years ago."
"How old were you when she died?"
"Six."
Although Huo Sirong and Huo Qingran are a descendant, they were born in the same year. That is to say, Huo Sirong, who Qingran spoke of, was only six years old when he died.
"Wow—" Qing Ran's emotions suddenly erupted, which caught Feng Yue by surprise, and her cry echoed throughout the cell, "Rong Rong, Rong Rong, I'm sorry..."
The key to Fengyue's intuition lies in this sorry, he quickly took the opportunity to ask: "Qingran, why did you say sorry to Rongrong?"
He once read about the magic control technique in the collection of Medicine God Valley. Although he did not fully grasp it, it was more than enough to guide Qingran, whose nerves were already on the verge of collapse.
"Rongrong fell into the water. I can't swim. When I called someone back to save her, Rongrong was gone."
Missing? A good person, how can he disappear?
However, Xuanyuan Chaoda heard Huo Sirong mentioning the matter of falling into the water at the age of six. She said that she was pushed into the lake by her sister-in-law. Huo Sirong and a group of family members watched indifferently, but no one came to rescue her. She climbed ashore by herself.
"Why is Rong Rong gone?"
"Rong Rong is gone." Qing Ran raised her head, her eyes were blank, tears were falling, but her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, "I was standing by the lake, and I didn't see Rong Rong, the lake. There was only one strange woman in it."
"She dresses so strangely, like the brothel prostitute my mother said, showing her arms and thighs."
"Brother Immortal, she is a monster." Qing Ran grabbed Feng Yue's hand, "She swam out of the lake by herself, and they called her Second Miss."
"It is clear that Rongrong is the second miss."
"Why should that woman replace my Rongrong?"
"Are they all blind?"
Qing Ran cried out of breath. At first, she was afraid of that strange woman, but later it became a hatred for her, hating her for living as Huo Sirong, hating her for killing Huo Sirong The mother of the Prime Minister, the Aunt Rou in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Chao felt chills all over listening to it.
In Huo Sirong's mouth, Aunt Rou is a woman who looks weak but is actually very vicious. Because Huo Sirong is a daughter, she has been beaten or scolded since she was a child, so that she has not enjoyed the warmth of a mother for a day.
When Huo Sirong was twelve years old, he begged the prime minister's wife to engage Huo Sirong to a widower in the east of the city who had killed three of his wives.
At that time, he and Huo Sirong already knew each other, and naturally he didn't want to see her be engaged to a widower, so he used some means to let Aunt Rou be caught and raped in bed by the prime minister, and finally died in a pig cage, and Huo Sirong also died because of his kiss Her mother's indiscretions damaged her reputation, so even though she was good-looking at a young age, few people came to ask for her.
If it weren't for the accident of Huo Qingran, Huo Sirong should have passed the age of sixteen and Sheng, waiting for Xuanyuan Chao to come and marry her.
"Aunt Rou is so nice, she can embroider and make sweet sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."
"None of them found out that she was a fake Rongrong, only Aunt Rou found out."
"Aunt Rou told me to stay away from her and said she would kill me, but I didn't expect her to kill Aunt Rou."
When he did this, Xuanyuan Chao only felt that he had taken a bad breath on behalf of his sweetheart and made a poisonous woman end up as she deserved, but he never thought about how much Aunt Rou did to Huo Sirong , she is her own mother after all.
As the saying goes, broken bones still connect tendons. Recalling the time when Aunt Rou was naked* being dragged away by the servants and put into the pig cage, Huo Sirong's expressionless face hid in the onlookers, and Xuanyuan Chao felt cold all over his body.
Seeing Xuanyuan Chao's thoughtful expression, Qing Ran knew that her efforts had paid off.
Possessed by Huo Sirong is a young white-collar worker who came from modern times. He was sucked by the water outlet while swimming, his body died on the spot, and his soul traveled to the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
When she entered Huo Sirong's body, she didn't get half of the original owner's memory. When facing a completely strange dynasty and a group of completely strange people, she could only pretend to fall into the water and lose her memory. After the diagnosis, the doctor did not question her statement, only that she might have been frightened and temporarily lost her memory.
But no matter how a person changes, even if he loses his memory, some subconscious habits will not change. The people around her were not attentive, so she didn't find any difference between this Huo Sirong and the original Second Miss, but Aunt Rou, who was the second Miss's mother, had doubts in her heart.
The reason why Huo Qingran, a daughter-in-law, can get along with Huo Sirong, a concubine, is because Aunt Rou has played a role that cannot be ignored. Because she is always low-key in front of the prime minister's wife, and she looks like a woman who can do everything, Huo Qingran's mother let go of her a lot of vigilance, and she also makes good desserts, which is the most rewarding for Huo Qingran. Happy, so the prime minister's wife also turned a blind eye and let her have a good relationship with Huo Qingran through dessert.
As long as you don't hurt your daughter, the Prime Minister's wife can say anything to anyone who is interested.
Huo Qingran likes sweets like her father, Huo Xiang. Huo Qingran and Huo Sirong had a good time because every time they came to play with Huo Sirong, Aunt Rou would prepare a lot of desserts.
And the crux of the matter is that, also as Huo Xiang's daughter, Huo Sirong is a person who hates sweets, so almost all desserts fall into Huo Qingran's mouth every time.
After the little white-collar worker crossed over, although he was very displeased with his timid and cowardly mother, he was very satisfied with the craftsmanship of making desserts with her, and often acted coquettishly at Aunt Rou for dessert. Huo Qingran came to her twice, and she also resented that when she woke up, Huo Qingran stood by the water and failed to rescue her in time. Tsukuru accidentally bumped the plate with the pastry on the ground, but he didn't want to give it to Huo Qingran anyway.
Children's minds are the most sensitive. Although Huo Qingran doesn't have the eyesight to see people's souls, he can feel Huo Sirong's malice towards him, and naturally he is alienated from Huo Sirong.
Except for the different hobbies of sweets, although the original owner was a shy and introverted child, he was not afraid of snakes, worms, rats and ants. It is better to say that he is half a master than half a servant, and he lives in a better house than the average servant. And there are only four maids in her hands, two of them are due to her as a concubine, and the other two are Huo Sirong as a concubine. This is because the prime minister's wife kindly asked her to keep her daughter by her side Only then can she get the light of Huo Sirong and use two more maids.
With less manpower, it is naturally impossible to be as thoughtful as the main yard when cleaning. Although it is unlikely that there will be mice or something, ordinary bugs are still common. The little white-collar workers have been from the city since childhood. Although their family is not very wealthy, the place where they live has always been very clean, and there are very few things like insects and ants. Coming to this place from modern times, there is no toilet, no Internet, and no TV. She is not used to it, and the strange and small creatures she often sees are even more surprising to her.
Aunt Rou had doubts about her, and often observed her without a trace, and she heard a few sleep-talks when she was covering her quilt at night. The little white-collar worker was very vigilant during the day, and inevitably relaxed when sleeping. a lot. Concubine Rou told her a few times, and she explained her origins in various ways.
No one will believe such absurd things when they say it. Although Aunt Rou approached Huo Qingran just to give her daughter a good future in the future, but after getting along for a long time, she became more or less emotional and knew that she After her daughter was possessed by a monster, she immediately warned Huo Qingran.
Aunt Rou was born in a brothel. Although she is a bit smart, she is a weak woman after all. She can't find a way to deal with this monster who is possessed by her daughter. She can't avenge her daughter. After Dong's widower ordered Dake to kill three of his wives, he felt that this was a trick that could cure the monster.
Even if you can't kill the monster completely, marrying her far away is better than staying in the prime minister's mansion and harming others.
Where can I imagine, before she had time to deal with the monster, Huo Sirong had already dealt with her.
"It's just a bunch of nonsense, how could Rong'er be..." Xuanyuan Chao couldn't say those two words, his throat and eyes were itching, as if saying it would be an admission of Huo Qingran's words.
"Your Highness, please take another step to speak."
