The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Lay Buddhist Huisu scolded Meng Ronghua harshly. The former was extremely angry, while the latter felt aggrieved.

"Do you think the palace is the same as our house?" Ms. Huisu hated Meng Ronghua for being too vicious, but also hated her for not being vicious enough. Of course, what she hated most was that she was not smart enough.

"There are eyes and ears everywhere in the palace! Do you think you can do whatever you want like you do at home?!"

Lay Buddhist Huisu pointed at Meng Ronghua's nose without caring about her manners: "If you weren't the only girl of the right age left in our Meng family, you would have been sent away with a dowry. Everyone in the mansion knows that it was you, a fool, who was jealous of your sister's selection as a concubine, and that's why you ruined her appearance?!"

Hear the words.

Meng Ronghua was shocked, and his hidden resentment and disdain were finally replaced by fear: "...This...This...I originally told Xinxia to do it secretly, this damn maid, I gave her a hundred taels of silver as a dowry when she got married!"

The "Xinxia" she mentioned was the trusted maid who served her before she entered the palace, not the current one. The one who followed Meng Ronghua into the palace and became her personal maid was not originally called this name, but inherited it after being promoted.

"With your shallow means, you still have the nerve to blame others?" Huisu, "When you were at home, someone praised you. Even though they knew how cruel you were, they didn't dare to say bad things about you, let alone go against your wishes. Your mother is also a waste. She raised you to be smart, but she didn't raise your knowledge. She raised you to be stupid and vicious. You are a real waste!"

The more Huisu thought about it, the angrier he became, and at this moment he started to speak without thinking.

As the most respected eldest daughter in the Meng family, when had Meng Ronghua ever been insulted like this?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged: "I am the legitimate daughter of the wife. Why can that bastard enter the palace and become a queen, but I can only marry the son of a man whose official position is not as high as my father's?"

"Does it mean that in the future I, a legitimate child, will have to kneel down before a lowly bastard?!"

The more Huisu listened, the more headache he felt: "Di di di, what else do you know besides Di?"

As soon as she raised her hand, the palace maids on both sides forced Meng Ronghua to kneel down.

"Besides being the daughter of the first wife, what else is so special about you?" she scolded. "In terms of appearance, character, and being likable, you are not even worthy of carrying your sister's shoes!"

"You keep saying the word 'hei' all the time. Can you inherit the family business like your brother, or can you continue the Meng family's lineage like him?!"

"You are uneducated and have no knowledge of the clan rules and etiquette. You only know how to scheme for superficial things. How dare you mention the word 'descent'? Your mother has really ruined you!"

"You have done such a terrible thing, and someone has already discovered it and set a trap for you... This time the entire Meng family will be implicated by you, and you are still here to continue to do this!"

"Why, do you expect the emperor to spare your life because you are the legitimate daughter of the Meng family and cannot inherit the family business, and not care about your attempt to steal the royal bloodline?"

Laywoman Huisu paced back and forth in the room, swinging her sleeves, creating gusts of wind that blew in Meng Ronghua's face, which finally made the latter feel timid: "...Aunt, I have arranged to frame Xu Baolin, can you make this matter more concrete...My niece has done it, and if His Majesty really investigates, as a daughter of the Meng family, you can't escape...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, Huisu slapped her in the face again: "You are still just a clever kid!"

"How can I save you?" Hui Su laughed coldly, "Now I can't even protect myself, and even your father and brother have lost their lives because of you!"

"......So why don't we just put the blame on Xu Baolin......" Meng Ronghua muttered.

Hui Su was so angry that she almost laughed: "Then tell me, how do you put the blame on others?"

"My niece bribed the palace maids at Yuchunju and put the title deed of the house where the pregnant woman was placed outside the house, as well as the abortion-inducing drug, inside the house. She also told Zhou that if she ever exposes the child-swapping by Xie Cairen, she must implicate Xu Baolin!" Meng Ronghua said quickly, "Although the situation has changed now, you have been running the palace for so many years and have so many people. We are not completely without hope, right?"

Seeing her half-understanding that she and the others were in great danger, Huisu couldn't help but smile sadly. "It's true that I have been managing and arranging things in the palace for many years, but I am, after all, a concubine of the previous emperor who has passed away. Just like you who are useless without the Meng family, I am a widow who has lost her husband and a son. I am just a widow with no future... Do you really think those palace maids and female doctors will sacrifice their entire family's lives to serve a useless person like me?"

She sneered in the desolation: "Idiot!"

Finished scolding.

Laywoman Huisu stared at Meng Ronghua so intently that she could not help but sweat profusely: "......Aunt?"

"I have a pill here just in case. You can take it first."

Meng Ronghua couldn't believe her ears. She screamed, "You want to kill me?!"

The old woman in front of her had an indifferent expression. Meng Ronghua subconsciously wanted to get up and run away, but was held down tightly. The fear of death completely occupied her mind at this moment: "Why?!"

"You did such a stupid thing, and instead of committing suicide and apologizing, are you waiting for you to implicate the entire Meng family?" Hui Su's eyes were stern, but her tone suddenly softened, "If it were possible, your aunt would not want to do this... Think about it, did you disrupt my arrangements out of personal grudge, and cause such a disaster today?"

"I..." Meng Ronghua was unable to say anything to defend herself. She was indeed stupid. She thought she had seen through Xu Baolin's deliberate instigation, but in fact she had stepped into their trap. After hesitating for a long time, Meng Ronghua still did not realize that she could no longer struggle to survive in her current predicament. "I intended to confuse the royal bloodline, and I deserve to die, but!"

She suddenly straightened up, stretched her neck and yelled at Huisu, the lay Buddhist in front of her: "But aunt, didn't you repeatedly try to murder the heir to the throne because of your own hatred?!"

"Isn't murdering the heir to the throne also a grave crime that would implicate the entire clan?!"

Meng Ronghua has always had a sense of pride in his heart, which was nurtured by his luxurious life. However, this pride was not for good, but it degenerated into darkness: "The Fourth Prince died so tragically, and Concubine Chen was so pitiful!"

Hui Su's face turned pale: "Who told you?!"
