The late autumn in the southwestern border was hotter than the summer in the capital. Ou Jing leaned on the bed and stared out of the window, but her heart was calm, and she never felt any poetic charm.

Anyone who has been locked up in the house for three months will no longer be in the mood to hurt the spring and autumn. After experiencing anger, mourning, resentment... After all kinds of emotional disturbances, Ou Jing finally calmed down and began to think about her own life. future.

a person's future.

After three months of marriage with Shen Mao, Ou Jing felt regretful.

Although the life in Yangweibo's mansion is more comfortable than that in Cheng'enhou's mansion, it is far from being as free as one likes in third uncle's mansion.

The life after marriage is not as rich and colorful as it was before marriage. Getting along day and night, instead, there is no fun everywhere.

Shen Mao's sons and daughters are not fuel-efficient, even if Ou Jing doesn't want to pay attention to them, they still have to find some sense of presence from time to time to cause some troubles for Ou Jing.

What makes Ou Jing even more upset is that although the population of Yangweibo Mansion is simple, there are no less bullshit things than Chengenhou Mansion.

Shen Mao has no parents, but he has many clansmen who depend on him for a living.

When Shen Mao was fighting abroad, the property in the mansion was managed by these tribesmen, and the annual income was embezzled by these tribesmen in various names, making the Yangweibo Mansion in the capital worse than the former Cheng Enhou Mansion.

After Ou Jing married into the uncle's mansion, she took back all the properties under Shen Mao's name, which made the mansion a little bit profitable.

Ou Jing felt that she was being generous by letting go of the past, but those members of Shen Mao's tribe felt that they had been cut off from their fortunes and robbed of their livelihoods. They are about to come to the house to blow the autumn wind, crying and shouting for Yang Weibo's mansion to continue to support them.

After dealing with it a few times, Ou Jing lost her patience and directly turned people away and ignored them.

These clansmen turned their heads to find Shen Mao, and vomited bitterness to him.

Shen Mao also felt that Ou Jing's approach was not safe enough, as it was easy to be poked in the back, and more likely to provoke impeachment by the judge.

Ou Jing was too lazy to quarrel with Shen Mao, and directly returned the housekeeping rights to him, divided her dowry, manpower and Yang Weibo's mansion, and then closed the courtyard door and lived leisurely.

Not being able to make Ou Jing admit her mistake, Shen Mao felt a little unhappy. Seeing that Ou Jing refused to continue to be the housekeeper, he did not insist on returning the housekeeping rights to her, but handed it over to the housekeeper, and ordered him to find someone to take over the housekeeping. Trivia and out-of-home industries.

However, a month later, Shen Mao found that his life had turned into a mess.In the past, when you were thirsty, you could just reach out and get suitable tea and fruit drinks, but now you have to order the servants specially, and sometimes you don’t even have ready-made boiling water, and you have to go to the kitchen to boil it.

The daily diet is obviously not as refined and delicious as when Ou Jing was the housekeeper, and the rules in the mansion are even more hypocritical. From time to time, strange faces appear in front of Shen Mao, making Shen Mao seem to have returned to the time when he just returned to the capital.

Shen Mao beat and killed a few of them severely, and only then did the mansion get into order again.

But immediately afterwards, Shen Mao was stunned to learn that the mansion had no money for food.

Unbelievable, Shen Mao hurriedly asked for the ledger, and then found out that in the past month, the family borrowing alone had consumed most of the money in the mansion, and the rest was taken away by his children.

In addition, the daily expenses of the mansion this month are obviously several times higher than when Ou Jing was in charge.

After checking the income again, Shen Mao was annoyed to find that the shops that were still profitable last month were all losing money this month, and the reason for the loss was that apart from poor management, the main reason for the loss was that the clansmen almost robbed the credit. It makes things "sold" out, but the payment cannot be recovered.

Shen Mao didn't feel sorry for this little extravagance.

These industries in the capital are just for people to see. It is good to have profits, but it is not hurt to lose money.

What really made Shen Mao unbearable was losing face.

His new wife made a move, but he failed to catch it. Instead, he made himself look ugly and embarrassed.

Fortunately, the wedding holiday is over, and Shen Mao has already accepted the order, and will soon leave the capital and return to the southwest to station.

Shen Mao took the opportunity to give in to Ou Jing, took Ou Jing away from the capital, rushed to the station, and left the mess in the Yangweibo mansion behind.

The General’s Mansion in the southwestern border town is much smoother than the Yangweibo Mansion in the capital. Without Shen Mao’s pair of sons and daughters, and the constant harassment from the group of people, the servants in the mansion are also well-trained, and they do things cleanly. .

But it didn't take long before Ou Jing heard that Ouyang was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor and demoted to repair the mausoleum.

Upon hearing about this, Ou Jing immediately sent someone back to the capital to find out what happened to Third Uncle.

However, not long after the person sent out left, the news spread in the southwestern border town, and Ou Jing's life became no longer satisfactory.

Shen Mao's attitude did not change.

Originally, Shen Mao did not marry Ou Jing because of her relationship with the imperial concubine Nine Thousand Years old. Hearing this, although he was a little surprised, it was nothing more than that - the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital was still there, His wife is a weak woman, and it is even more impossible for her to be affected by this matter.

The gloating eyes of other officials and family members were nothing.

Ou Jing bears the title of princess on her head, and just calling people over to say hello and salute can make people half-dead. Even if a woman who doesn't understand etiquette mocks Ou Jing face to face, Ou Jing retaliates back on the spot.

What really annoyed Ou Jing were those stupid women in the border town who heard about it and thought they could take advantage of it.

Shen Mao is too old, and his appearance is also very ordinary. His official position and title are not outstanding among the nobles, and he cannot catch the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital.But in the southwestern border town, Shen Mao has become a favorite. Even if he has a regular wife, there are still many girls from other families who want to enter his mansion and serve as concubines and servants.

When Ou Jing first arrived in the border town, these women were afraid of her identity and background, and heard that she even dared to beat the Duke's wife, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Now when they heard that something happened to her backer, these women became active again.

At the beginning, Ou Jing just thought they were annoying.

The southwestern border town is not a place for beauties. In Ou Jing's eyes, the so-called beauties of the local people are black and thin female monkeys. They have to have no appearance, but no temperament. If such a woman can make Shen Mao fall in love, Ou Jing would rather He asked himself to step down, and he didn't want to lower his status to compete with such a woman to be jealous.

But as Ou Jing spent more and more time in the border town, but there was no movement in her stomach, new rumors emerged. More and more women wanted to enter the general's mansion and give birth to Shen Mao. The grandmother and mother in the capital both wanted to give birth to a child in the womb, and wanted to send Ou Jing some fertile women.

In this way, even if Shen Mao's stand is firm, Ou Jing herself will inevitably make a murmur.

Fortunately, Ou Jing grew up by Ouyang's side, and unlike other girls who grew up normally, whether or not they could give birth to a child was not regarded as a big thing. Even if she was anxious, she would not wrong herself because of it.

After muttering, Ou Jing was no longer confused, and kicked away all the women who wanted to give birth to Shen Mao, and rejected all the "good intentions" of her grandmother and mother.

After five years of marriage, Ou Jing was finally pregnant with her child.

However, just after three months of rejoicing, Shen Mao's son and daughter suddenly came to the border town.

For a military general like Shen Mao, his sons and daughters, especially the eldest son, must stay in the capital and be placed under the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. They cannot leave the capital without His Majesty's permission.

Because of this, the arrival of a pair of sons and daughters did not make Shen Mao feel happy, but instead frowned, having a headache for the aftermath.

Ou Jing couldn't be happier anymore.

Shen Mao's two sons and daughters talked about thinking about their father, but in fact they heard about Ou Jing's pregnancy and ran over secretly.

They came with a young woman who claimed to be their cousin.

This so-called cousin can only be said to be not ugly, but she was born with a weak willow and Fufeng appearance, very much like the white lotus that the concubine named Su in the third uncle's yard often said.

As soon as she saw this cousin—or to be precise, the cousin girl, Ou Jing knew what would happen in the general's mansion.

Sure enough, when Shen Mao was trying to persuade his children to return to Beijing, Ou Jing received a tip-off from a kind maid, and in Shen Mao's afternoon room, she caught Shen Mao and her cousin in bed.

The two were lying naked on the same bed, but the cousin girl was awake, but Shen Mao fell asleep.

"Cousin, he... was drunk..."

Biao girl shrank behind Shen Mao, and pleaded pitifully.

Ou Jing curled her lips, and directly ordered someone to drag the cousin girl off the bed, and then poured a basin of cold water to wake Shen Mao up.

After waking up, Shen Mao was puzzled, and was about to get angry with Ou Jing in front of him, but he heard a woman begging for help from him.

Looking back, Shen Mao finally realized what happened to him, and immediately changed his face, wanting to explain to Ou Jing.

Ou Jing didn't listen to Shen Mao's explanation.

Shen Mao is just guessing at the moment, but Ou Jing knows the detailed process of the whole matter clearly.

Shen Mao's good daughter brought him a bowl of sour plum soup with added ingredients, dumped his medicine on the ground, and then led the cousin girl in, making the cousin girl and her father make a mess.

It's a pity that this girl is too young, and the cousin girl is also a maid who has no experience in human affairs. They obviously don't know that a man who has passed out is not capable of such things. Even if he takes off his clothes, he can't Just lying together.

The two children didn't even know that the General's Mansion in the southwest was not the Yangweibo Mansion in the capital. Ou Jing had been the mistress here for five years, and her control over the mansion was far beyond what the two furry children could understand.

Ou Jing knew exactly what the two children said when they set up their strategy.

The two of them didn't really want to add a concubine to their father, but they just wanted to use this to make her sad and angry. It would be best to abort the child in a fit of anger, and then bleed heavily, killing two people.

In this way, her dowry, as well as her princess title, all belonged to their two stepson and stepdaughter.

——Dream!

Ou Jing smiled at Shen Mao, ordered someone to "invite" his son and daughter over, and in front of them, used scissors to carve the word "cheap" on the cousin girl's face.

Shen Mao's son and daughter turned pale with fright, and Shen Mao did not stop because of shock.

Then, Ou Jing smiled brightly at the three of them.

"Guess, what word will I use next time?"

And, who is it used on?

Ou Jing left this woman to Shen Mao, but after that day, Ou Jing never saw this woman again.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Mao's two sons and daughters will also return to the capital, and Shen Mao's confidantes and pleading sons will be on the road with them-the military officer's family members must obtain the emperor's approval to leave the capital, although this matter has not been written. Entering the criminal law is an unwritten rule that is more terrible than the criminal law. It's just that these two people are still young, and they made an unintentional mistake. Presumably His Majesty the Emperor will not go on the line and insist on punishment.

However, as soon as the departure date was confirmed, Shen Mao's two sons and daughters did another big thing——

When Ou Jing was hanging out in the garden in the backyard to cool off the summer heat, the siblings pretended to be arguing and rushed out one after the other, bumping into Ou Jing, not only knocking her to the ground, but also She stomped hard on her stomach.

This fall, one step, finally caused Ou Jing to lose her child.

Afterwards, while regretting her carelessness, what made Ou Jing even more angry was that the culprit of this matter, the two siblings who could no longer be called children, were just locked up by Shen Mao, and they couldn't even be beaten. Didn't hit it.

Ou Jing's heart was instantly chilled, and she had a big fight with Shen Mao.

During the quarrel, Shen Mao made a slip of the tongue, and Ou Jing learned that the reason why she was pregnant only five years ago was because of Shen Mao's secret contraception.

"Isn't it good for you and me to live a lifetime together?" Shen Mao argued, "Why add another child..."

"If you think there are too many children, why don't you kill those two little beasts?" Ou Jing sneered.

Shen Mao immediately turned dark, "You... what are you talking about!"

"Of course it's human! Strangling your younger brother and murdering your stepmother, even a beast can't do such a thing!"

"Ou Jing—"

"Shen Mao!" Ou Jing didn't give Shen Mao a chance to get angry, "Let's make up!"

Shen Mao's expression changed in astonishment, but he immediately grabbed Ou Jing and pushed her back on the bed.

"Don't even think about it! Once you enter my Shen family's door, you can only be buried in my Shen family's ancestral grave! You are born as a member of my Shen family, and you will die as a ghost of my Shen family!"

Shen Mao resolutely put down the words, and then locked Ou Jing in the house, picked out all the servants she brought over as a dowry, and locked them in her yard, not allowing them to go out of the yard for half a step. All delivered by his servants.

But Shen Mao didn't lock Ou Jing up.

Shen Mao would come over every day, even if Ou Jing ignored him, she would stay in her yard overnight.

Ou Jing was quick-mouthed at first, but she regretted it afterwards, but when Ou Jing softened her heart and was about to reconcile with Shen Mao, she found that her lunch had been poisoned.

Ou Jing didn't think it was Shen Mao trying to harm her.

With Shen Mao's strength, if he wanted her to die, he could just grab her by the neck and pour medicine, no need to mix it with the food.

Only the two children of Shen Mao could do this.

It was not enough to kill her child, but also wanted to kill her...

Ou Jing smiled coldly, and immediately called Shen Mao over.

Knowing that someone poisoned Ou Jing's food, Shen Mao immediately swore to give Ou Jing an explanation.

However, early the next morning, Shen Mao sent the pair of children away from the border town.

Ou Jing was completely chilled, and once again proposed a divorce to Shen Mao.

Shen Mao still refused.

This time, the two not only quarreled, but even fought.

But after all, Ou Jing had just injured her body, and she was already weak, and Shen Mao was not a scholar with no strength to restrain her.

In the end, Ou Jing failed to rush out of the yard, but was tied up by Shen Mao, and all the slaves were also taken away by the soldiers called by Shen Mao, and replaced with Shen Mao's own confidant maids.

Ou Jing didn't eat or drink, and lay in bed for three days.

Shen Mao didn't soften his heart because of this, and directly said that if she died like this, he would just bury her in the Shen family's ancestral grave.

But Ou Jing also did not give in.

On the night of the fourth day, Ou Jing released the parrot she raised in her house.

This parrot was left by Qing'er at Ou Jing's place.

Before Ou Jing got married, although Qing'er did not leave her like Nanny Bai, she was unwilling to continue to follow her as a maidservant and be bossed around by those who didn't know the inside story.

Qing'er left a parrot for Ou Jing, and asked her to release the parrot in times of crisis or when she needed her help.

Then, Qing'er did not marry into Yang Weibo's belly with Ou Jing, but only found a place to live not far from the mansion.

Ou Jing left the capital with Shen Mao, and when she was stationed in the southwest, Qing'er also quietly followed.

Ou Jing originally thought that she would raise this parrot until the end of her life, but she never thought, but in five years, she will need Qing'er to come and "help".

Fortunately, only five years.

Qing'er will only stay with her for ten years. If something like this happens after 15 or 25 years, even if she wants to ask for help, she won't be able to find anyone.

The next night, Ou Jing met Qing'er.

After briefly explaining her current situation, Ou Jing said to Qing'er: "I want to leave here."

Qing'er frowned, "There are too many soldiers in this place, and the checkpoints are tight. I can come and go freely by myself. If I add you, even if I leave the mansion, I may not be able to leave the city. Is manpower available?"

"If there were, I wouldn't have looked for you." Ou Jing smiled wryly.

"Then I can only ask the master for help." Qing'er sighed, "Can you wait a little longer?"

"Can you contact Third Uncle?" Ou Jing was taken aback.

Since getting married, Ou Jing has lost contact with Ouyang.

When they learned that Ouyang was "thrown out" of the capital by the emperor, the people sent out by Ou Jing failed to find a chance to meet him.

After that, I never heard from Ouyang again.

"Contact is definitely possible, but I don't know how long it will take." Qing'er replied, "God knows where he is now."

"Isn't it..." building a mausoleum?

Ou Jing was taken aback.

Qing'er coughed lightly, "This matter is not as rumored outside."

No wonder...

Only then did Ou Jing understand why every new year, His Majesty the Emperor would give her an extra reward.

Ou Jing always thought it was Mrs. Uncle's fault, but she realized after listening to Qing'er today, it turned out to be His Majesty's Ai Wu Ji Wu.

Qing'er quickly left the General's Mansion without a trace.

Ou Jing was no longer in a hurry, and started eating cautiously, but still did not communicate with Shen Mao.

Shen Mao didn't force her, as if she was determined that she would give in step by step, and finally succumbed to him.

But Shen Mao didn't know that Ou Jing grew up beside Ouyang and learned a lot of things, but she never learned to bow her head and give in.

Summer goes to autumn.

Ou Jing finally got the result.

That night, Ou Jing was in a daze on the bed as usual, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Before Ou Jing could respond, a familiar voice sounded.

"Jing'er, I'm coming in."

Before she finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and her third uncle Ouyang just walked in so casually.

For a moment, Ou Jing was a little dazed.

What made it even more difficult for her to judge whether she was dreaming was that Ouyang's appearance was the same as it was five years ago.

Her third uncle is almost forty!

Seeing Ou Jing staring at him blankly, Ouyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you say anything, don't you be dumbed down by someone?"

"No!" Ou Jing hurriedly shook her head.

Upon hearing the tone and words used, Ou Jing knew that this must be her third uncle.

Immediately afterwards, Ou Jing burst into tears.

"Uncle Three!"

"Okay, okay, I'm here!"

Ouyang stepped forward quickly, and patted Ou Jing's head.

Ou Jing grinned and forced a smile, but the tears didn't stop there.

Ouyang didn't speak any more, and stood quietly beside the bed, letting her cry to her heart's content.

When the tears dried up, Ou Jing finally burst into tears and smiled. While wiping the tears on her face, she asked, "Where has Third Uncle been all these years?"

"I can live happily no matter where I go." Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "You seem to have suffered a lot!"

"It's your own fault, no wonder others." Ou Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, "Did Qing'er tell you?"

"Well." Ouyang nodded, "What do you want to do, just leave?"

Ou Jing pursed her lips, "I... still want revenge!"

"Who to report? How?" Ouyang asked.

"Go to the capital and find Shen Mao's two sons and daughters." Ou Jing said word by word, "Kill for life."

"And then?" Ouyang continued to ask, "If you kill Shen Mao's sons and daughters, you will become enemies with him, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"If he hates me for killing his children, then come and seek revenge on me." Ou Jing said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I won't obediently let him kill you."

Ouyang curled his lips and said, "I thought you should plan ahead and cut the weeds and root them out."

"He never betrayed me, and I have no reason to kill him." Ou Jing shook her head.

"Okay." Ouyang shrugged, "Get dressed and come with me."

Ou Jing couldn't help being taken aback.

Ouyang did not explain, turned and walked out.

Ou Jing was startled, and finally left the bed, changed into visible clothes, tidied herself up, and then walked out of the house quickly.

Ouyang is waiting for her at the door.

Seeing Ou Jing coming out, Ouyang waved to her, led her to the side yard, and then entered another room.

As soon as she entered this room, Ou Jing suddenly realized.

There were five people in the room, three of them were tied up with ropes, they were Shen Mao and his sons and daughters, the rest, one fat and one thin, a boy and a girl, were Zhuang Guanjia and Xiaoqing.

Apparently, her third uncle had guessed what she was thinking, and had captured Shen Mao's son and daughter from the capital and brought them to her.

Seeing Ou Jing and Ouyang coming in, both the elder and younger showed horrified expressions, Shen Mao even widened his eyes, and blurted out Ouyang's identity.

"Nine thousand years old?!"

Ouyang chuckled, ignored it, turned to Ou Jing and said, "I'll leave it to you."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang turned around and walked out with Steward Zhuang and Qing'er.

Shen Mao turned to look at Ou Jing, and asked sharply, "Jing'er, what's going on?!"

"What's going on?" Ou Jing also chuckled, and took out a dagger from her sleeve with her backhand, "You still ask me what's going on?"

"No! Stop!" Shen Mao understood immediately, and the face that was already full of horror became more and more ferociously distorted.

But he was firmly tied to the beams and pillars, and it was impossible to break free without causing the house to collapse. Although his two children were not tied up to explain this, they were gagged and could not even utter curses. sound.

Ou Jing ignored Shen Mao's shout, held the dagger, and walked straight towards Shen Mao's son and daughter...

A quarter of an hour later, Ou Jing opened the door and came out.

Shen Mao was still shouting hoarsely behind her, but Ou Jing turned a deaf ear to her and said directly to Ouyang, "Third Uncle, let's go."

"Where do you want to go?" Ouyang asked.

"Third uncle, if it's convenient, you can take me in for a while." Ou Jing replied with downcast eyes, "I don't want to go back to Beijing, and I won't go back."

She killed his sons and daughters in front of Shen Mao, if she swaggered back to the capital, wouldn't she be waiting for Shen Mao to come and take revenge?

Besides, even if Shen Mao didn't dare to leave her post without permission and leave the border town, the Ou family would not allow her, a married woman, to live in her natal family for a long time. Then marry her to another man, otherwise, send her to the family temple, or even give her a white silk directly.

"It's really inconvenient for me." Ouyang thought for a while, "However, if you just want to find a place to live, you might as well go to Jin Zhu's place, as it happens to help me take care of her."

In fact, it's fine to go anywhere, Ou Jing thought, as long as she can live freely.

During this time, Ou Jing thought over and over again. Although she didn't know what she wanted, she was very aware of what she didn't want.

It doesn't matter if she is selfish or unfilial.

All in all, she just didn't want to sacrifice for anyone, and she didn't want to wrong herself for anyone.

She just wants to live for herself and live the way she likes.

"Okay." Ou Jing nodded resolutely.
