Bondage

After Song Fu made a marriage contract with Mingxiang, the ninth daughter of the British government, no one informed Song Wan.She didn't know the news until the Geng Tie of the two governments had been exchanged and there was no room for change in the marriage.

This is because Concubine Yun invited Song Wan to the palace for a small gathering on Concubine Yun's birthday, and the eunuch of Changxin Palace came to pass on Concubine Yun's oral instructions, so she knew that her father had chosen such a family for her elder brother.

Thinking back to the current situation of the British government, Song Wan unconsciously frowned.

Heng Zhi's complexion was also a little ugly, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

Heng Wu couldn't help but said: "Miss, do you know the Ninth Girl of the British government?"

Song Wan nodded: "Miss Nine is considered an old man. It is said that the second wife of the British government married for many years without any children, but she and her husband are deeply affectionate. The second master has never taken a concubine until he was nearly thirty years old. Miss Xia Jiu."

"After the second master died of illness, the second wife went with him the next year. The second room left the nine girls alone and was raised by the old lady. It is said that she has some problems with her articulation. When she was a child, she was ridiculed by her slaves at home. She has not come out to see her all these years. Guest, has been well protected by the Eldest Princess."

Heng Wu glanced over at Heng Zhi, and murmured: "A girl like this... how could the master tell the young master?"

"Jiu girl's uncle is Yan Tongfu, Lord Yan, and her father has his own plans."

Song Wan clenched his fist slightly, unable to bear the disappointment.

She has always known that the only function of a noble girl like herself is to be a good relative in the clan, so no matter what choice her father makes, she never complains in her heart.

Women are difficult, but all daughters in the world are like this, so she does not climb or complain.

But Song Fu is different.

In the future, her elder brother wants to set up a family, no matter whether it is in the court hall or the back house, if there is no wife who can take care of the house, I am afraid that there will be more worries and less joys in the future.

Although there are few people who are as prone to troubles as Lin Jiayue, but a temperament like Mother Jiang's is enough to make people worry.

Moreover, Nine Girls are not easy to socialize, so in the future, brother will lose most of his help on his official career.

Song Wan grabbed the hem of her skirt, feeling tight in her chest.

"The Eldest Princess is seventy years old, and the Ninth Girls are only just reaching the age of Ji. The normal education should be mostly pampering and caring. I'm afraid I can't learn much about the ability to be the head of the family."

"Although she was born in a family of the Shifu, she has not been taught by a strict father and a loving mother since she was a child, and her nature is still unknown..."

Song Wansheng's mother passed away early, and no one taught her to be sensible since she was a child. If it wasn't for the difficult life of a widow in the Hou Mansion, she was forced to learn a lot, and now she doesn't know what kind of temperament she will be born with.

Thanks to no one teaching her before, Song Wan was not optimistic about this marriage.

He said that his father valued the status of the eldest princess, and his joint back with Master Yan should not be replaced by the position of the mistress of the Song Mansion.The eldest princess is getting older, and after she passed away, I don't know how much kindness the Holy Majesty will pay for the British government.

Besides, Master Yan is only the uncle of Nine Girls, and there are still more than a dozen female relatives in the Yan family, even Lord Yan's own concubine daughters, there are more than three or five, she really doesn't know how much the other party will give up On her brother.

The benefits of this marriage to the Song family and her elder brother are really limited.

"I don't know what my father thinks."

Song Wan's eyebrows were slightly sad, but now that the marriage has been settled, everything else is in vain.

Because Concubine Yun was going to enter the palace with Jiang Xingjian on her birthday, Song Wan was even less interested when she thought about it. Seeing that her young lady and Hengzhi were both depressed, Hengwu didn't dare to say much, and just sorted out Concubine Yun's birthday. clothes for the day.

At night when Song Wan fell asleep, Heng Wufang pulled Heng Zhi to ask in a low voice on the embroidered couch outside.

"Sister, the young master is getting married, but you..."

"What are you talking about? Don't talk about it in the future."

Pulling the quilt to cover Heng Wu, Heng Zhi huddled in a corner secretly crying.

Women love to be pretty, and it's not uncommon for them to fall in love with such a golden and jade-like young master.

But she has always known that even the most scumbags in this world would never accept a maid in a sister's room, so Hengzhi has always known that all the feelings in her heart are empty talk.

Pulling off the quilt and covering her head, Heng Zhi secretly cried for a while before thinking about anything else.

On the day of entering the palace, the weather was getting cooler. After Song Wan finished her makeup and hair, she saw Jiang Xingjian waiting for her outside the door.

Speaking of which, the two of them hadn't seen each other for some time, but today she found out that Jiang Xingjian was very thin, and she didn't know why it was so difficult.

She had no intention of asking, and Jiang Xingjian had no intention of mentioning it. The two of them were silent all the way, their indifference looks like strangers who had never known each other.

Jiang Xingjian lowered his eyes, and saw Song Wan's back straightened, his hands resting on his knees, looking cautious.He suddenly remembered the last time when the two of them entered the palace together, they touched their knees in the carriage.

That day, the emotion in the car was steaming, which once made his heart restless.

But now Song Wan avoids him like a snake and a scorpion, and he no longer sees the gentleness and carelessness of the past.

The same carriage, the same road, but the moods of the two are not the same.

It wasn't until they entered the Changxin Palace that the two of them smiled together, as if they had been a loving couple for many years, like glue like paint, phoenix and phoenix singing in harmony.

Song Wan and his wife arrived earlier. After meeting Concubine Yun, Jiang Xingjian followed the eunuch of Yanqing Palace to meet Concubine Jiang. Originally, he invited Song Wan to come with him, but she refused.

"Today is my aunt's birthday. It's fine if you're not here. It's not good that both of us are not here."

"You usually can't find a chance to catch up with Concubine Jiang, why don't you take this opportunity to spend more time with your wife, don't rush back, Auntie won't blame you."

Jiang Xingjian was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

Jiang Man was waiting for Jiang Xingjian in Yanqing Palace. The last time Song Yuning humiliated her in front of everyone, it was really unbearable for her.If she hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, she would have wanted to find an excuse to punish that person.

"How is grandma?"

Jiang Xingjian shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few days, what can your empress do to procrastinate?"

Jiang Man waved his hands a little irritably.

She is in the deep palace, how can she control her grandmother's life and death?

It's just that Jiang Xingjian has lost weight recently, and she couldn't bear it: "Try to find a way to delay it for a few more days, if it doesn't work, hide the old lady's body in the ice cellar, and find an excuse not to open the coffin for future funerals."

"I also have some arrangements in the palace, Song Yuning and Shen Qianbai..."

Jiang Man lowered his eyes, but didn't speak clearly.

"Don't worry too much, it's sister's fault if you hurt yourself."

Jiang Xingjian said: "I should tell my elder sister this."

The siblings smiled knowingly, and Jiang Man said lightly: "I know that Mrs. Lin has a child. Ordinarily, this fetus should not be kept, but since it is your first child, you can keep it if you want."

"Find a remote place and send her away to raise her baby. It won't be too late to find her when the situation is settled."

Jiang Xingjian said, "I know what to do, my brother has his own plans."
