Tranquility

"Thank you, Doctor Tong." As soon as the old bustard left, Cui Ling stopped crying immediately, and the weak gesture just now was gone.

"No, you and I each get what we need. I have helped you fight for half a month. Whether your lover can come to rescue you as promised depends entirely on your luck. Now you can tell Tongzhi Yongzhou what happened. Is something wrong?" Shu Hongyu winked at Tang Yu, Tang Yu understood, and turned around to guard the door.

"Actually, I just heard some rumors, and I don't know the details. Places like ours are the most crowded, and we can also get in touch with some official affairs. Since I entered this building, every You can hear news of some officials and lords in time. They either died suddenly like the former acquaintances, or disappeared quietly like the current acquaintances. Ordinary guests are only ordinary officials transferred, but sometimes I When I mentioned it to some benefactors, they all kept it secret, as if they were guarding a common secret." Cui Ling propped herself up and said while leaning on the bed.

"What secret?"

"I don't know that."

Shu Hongyu was very disappointed, and said, "That's all?"

Cui Wei sighed, got up, walked slowly past Shu Hongyu, stood in front of the window, and looked up at the gloomy sky outside the window.

"Actually, my mother is the princess' dowry girl."

Shu Hongyu has been traveling between brothels these days, and heard a lot of news. Although most of them were speculative, he judged from it that Tangning's disappearance had a lot to do with the Prince Zhong's Mansion, so when he heard what Cui Ling said, he started fighting Spiritually said: "Then how did you end up here?"

Cui Ling continued to look out of the window, and said softly: "When the princess was not out of the cabinet, she was a well-known lady in Yongzhou. She was gentle, virtuous, dignified and decent, ikea and ikea. No kind of beautiful words can be used too much for her. King Zhong is for this reason. But after marrying her, who knows that after I got back, I found out that I married a jealous woman. The four dowry girls, except for my mother who was loyal and determined to marry a steward, the other three who wanted to climb the bed were all executed.

King Zhong has a cowardly character, dares to be angry but dare not speak out. For a long time, there was only the princess and her two children in the palace, and the princess finally calmed down.Until King Zhong met that maid, that maid was very beautiful, they secretly communicated and concealed it very well, knowing that the maid was pregnant, no one in the mansion knew about their relationship.After King Zhong knew that the maid was pregnant, he found a reason to let her out and let her give birth to the child.However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the princess knew it. She killed the maid and her newborn son.

This incident completely angered the princess. At that time, the princess had already completely controlled the palace of Prince Zhong, and the son had grown up. However, King Zhong lost his beloved woman and young son, and he was devastated and ran away angrily, or he was kicked out by the princess. King Zhong's Mansion, King Zhong still lives in another courtyard until now.

Even so, the concubine did not intend to let King Zhong go, she sent my mother to King Zhong to monitor him, and asked my mother to administer sterilization drugs to King Zhong.

Somehow King Zhong found out about it. King Zhong didn’t dare to offend the concubine, so he could only vent his anger on my mother. He killed the steward my mother married, killed her son, and then filled my mother with dumb drugs and sold them here. Come to the brothel. "

Even though Shu Hongyu was well-informed and shocked by this vicious Zhongwang couple, he originally had some sympathy for Zhongwang, but now he just wants to say that these two people are really a perfect match.

When Cui Wei said this, she looked back at Shu Hongyu and said: "I am a child born by my mother in a daze. I was destined to be born in this brothel. But my mother refused to accept my fate. She hated her. She hated the loyal king and the princess even more. They I didn't even know that my mother could read and write. I thought that a bowl of dumb medicine would seal my mouth. I didn't expect that after I learned to read, my mother would write down everything she knew to me. She knew that she would not live long. I have no ability to revenge, but she wants me to avenge him, wants me to be a famous prostitute, climb up the ladder, and marry a nobleman, so that one day I can avenge her and those half-brothers.

It's a pity that I have no ambitions. I only hope that I can leave here, marry an ordinary person, and live a peaceful life. "

Shu Hongyu listened to a big show of a wealthy family, but he was not interested in gossip at all, and said: "These are old calendars, so it's useless to talk about them."

Cui Wei sat opposite Shu Hongyu and smiled, "I've been holding back these things in my heart for more than ten years, and I'm finally able to say them today. I'm a bit out of control. The following is what I want to tell you. Although I don't know much about Zhongwangfu, but There's one guy who definitely knows a lot."

"Who?" Shu Hongyu asked impatiently when he finally got to the point.

"Mr. Pei."

"Mr. Pei?" Shu Hongyu really didn't expect it to be this person.Although he knew that Princess Fushou and his party had already arrived in Yongzhou, they were all from the Prince Zhong's Mansion. Shu Hongyu would not act rashly and come to the door rashly.

"Yes, he is the concubine's confidant, and he is deeply trusted. He takes care of all the shameful things about the concubine."

"Since you are a confidant, I am afraid that even if you know, you will not tell me."

"Not necessarily, he had a quarrel with the concubine. Before the concubine married King Zhong, she had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, Mr. Pei. At that time, Mr. Pei was orphaned and widowed, living in his uncle's house. It doesn't match. It's just that he is a nephew after all. The princess's father still gave him a chance, saying that he would betroth the princess to him after he got the honor in the exam. I don't want to wait for Mr. Pei to get the honor. The princess has already married the loyal king."

Shu Hongyu got up and poured a cup of tea for Cui Ling: "It can only be said that the princess' father dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Besides, as a father, it is normal to choose a better family for his daughter. Could it be that Mr. Pei hates his uncle for breaking his promise?"

Cui Ling took a sip of tea and said slowly, "If that's the case, Mr. Pei is a gentleman and can understand uncle, but at most it's just frustration. The bad thing is that his mother knows about this marriage, and his mother's health Not good, I was looking forward to marrying my niece into the house so I could have a grandson, but when I heard the news that the concubine was getting married again, I didn’t come up in one breath, and I was so angry that I died.”

Shu Hongyu also poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "It's really fate. Even so, it is the fault of the princess's father, and the other party didn't do it on purpose. In this way, at most, the two families don't communicate anymore. The princess is innocent. I think Mr. Pei is still following the concubine, so it can be seen that he has deep affection, Mr. Pei can't bear to hate the concubine, right?"

"Mr. Pei is indeed very affectionate. The princess just cried in front of him and blamed everything on her father. Mr. Pei softened his heart. Not only did he not blame the princess, but he also blamed her for marrying someone he didn't like." I am more sympathetic, more determined, since then I will not take the exam for fame, and concentrate on being a steward beside the princess." Cui Ling continued.

"Mr. Pei taught my mother how to read. At that time, my mother only wanted to help the princess look at the account book. But later, seeing that the princess didn't like the girl and Mr. Pei getting close, she didn't dare to mention it. Is there any word she doesn't know?" I only asked by chance when I met Mr. Pei occasionally. Later, when my mother was in trouble, Mr. Pei helped me a little because of my old love, so my mother told Mr. Pei that it was the concubine herself who married King Zhong idea.

It turns out that the concubine didn't intend to marry Mr. Pei from the beginning, she just fell in love with Mr. Pei's mother's token, a bracelet.This bracelet is said to be made of a special kind of jade, which is especially nourishing and can enable a woman to have a son. It was originally in the hands of an old lady, and the ancestors' precepts were passed on to daughters-in-law but not to daughters.

I don't know if this bracelet is really useful, but I only know that the old lady gave birth to four sons and a daughter, and the old lady loved her only daughter, so she gave the bracelet to Mr. Pei's mother.This matter made the princess' mother worry about it, and she often talked about it to the princess.So the princess came up with such an idea, pretending to marry Mr. Pei, coaxing her aunt to give her the bracelet as a token of engagement.

This is the real reason why Mr. Pei's mother died of anger. "

Shu Hongyu was dumbfounded, it turned out to be such a weird reason, as a professional doctor, he can now confirm that this princess is absolutely psychopathic.

Cui Ling looked at Shu Hongyu, smiled wryly and said, "I think Mr. Pei probably reacted the same way as you did when he heard it. It's too unbelievable. But Wang Hao is indeed wearing that bracelet on her hand. Mr. Pei thought that Wang Hao In fact, I still care about myself in my heart, and I hope to be the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, so I always wear that bracelet."

Shu Hongyu came back to his senses, sneered and said, "This is really ironic."

After coming out of the brothel, Shu Hongyu took Tang Yu back to the small room where he temporarily lived.

Shu Hongyu packed a package, and solemnly handed it to Tang Yu: "I'm going out tonight, food and clothes are in it. There are some loose coins in it, don't touch it. I found this tattered clothes specially, and I sewed a few bank notes inside." , are all earned by me recently, you put them next to your body, there is one in your shoes, and one in your hairpin."

Tang Yu winked and said: "Wow, what disease are you seeing, you make so much money!"

Shu Hongyu knocked it down with a bang: "Stinky boy, you've failed in just a few days! What an embarrassment to your father!"

Tang Yu cried out in pain, hugged Shu Hongyu and said, "I don't want you to leave. If you leave, I will learn worse. Anyway, my father can't see it, and neither can you. You don't care about me!"

Shu Hongyu paused, and slowly stroked the top of Tang Yu's head with his hands. The child in front of him seemed to be taller again. The fat and white child from a few months ago had long since disappeared. The young man in his life didn't have the slightest aristocratic temperament, and even had a little wretchedness.

Shu Hongyu felt so sore in his heart. He was sorry for Tangning, and even more sorry for Tang Yu. He took Tang Yu to the brothel, used ointment to darken Tang Yu's skin, and forced him to play the role of a brothel doctor's little drug boy. At the most plastic age, this experience will deeply penetrate into his life, with indelible traces.

"Don't cry, why did I tell you that when you grow up, you have to be strong, and you can't rely on me. Remember, you can only rely on yourself." Tang Yu wiped his tears, and said ruthlessly: "Put the package away, if I don't come back in three days, you are a child, you will be bullied here alone, maybe you will be sold into a brothel to be a tortoise Slave. At that time, you will wear this tattered clothes, quietly leave the city, and go to the Temple of the City God outside the city. There are people giving porridge to see the doctor. You can't keep it, don't work hard for this little money, they will give you a shelter after taking the money. You just stay there, and when I rescue your father, I will definitely come to pick you up."

Tang Yu just panicked for a moment and couldn't control it. This will calm down. Although he was still panicked, he still nodded firmly, "I'll wait for you, you will definitely come back."
