Traveling to the ancient harem

Poison Doctor Valley.

"The moment the young lady saw Miss Rong'er, her body was shaking. She came back to the room and said to me, 'Xiao Xingxing, I feel like something is going to happen.' Her feeling was right. That young lady was not an ordinary person." Every time Jingzhen thought of this, she hated herself. She hated herself for not secretly poisoning her. If she had just poisoned this vicious young lady to death, the young lady wouldn't have to die.

Miss Rong'er moved into the old lady's yard. She was well-educated and well-mannered, and could make the old lady happy every day. She taught her aunt rules and etiquette, and how to dress herself. She and her aunt became best sisters. The two children liked this beautiful little cousin even more. The cousin would take time to teach them to read and paint, tell them stories, and take care of them meticulously.

As for the son-in-law, except for the time when he was on duty, he wished he could live in the old lady's yard. He talked about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting with his cousin, and talked about interesting anecdotes. He felt that they had similar interests. The admiration and love in Rong'er's eyes made his heart beat fast. He felt that if he could marry her, there would be nothing more he could ask for.

It turned out that when Rong'er was three years old, her stepmother saw that she was pretty and took her under her lap to raise her personally in order to pave the way for her future husband's career. Rong'er was also a well-behaved girl, she was diligent and sweet-spoken, and she was very much loved by her stepmother. Although she was a concubine's daughter, her life was not bad.

In that year, my stepmother heard a rumor that the prefect of Jingzhou was about to be promoted because of his outstanding achievements. My husband could fight for the position of prefect, but the key was to have the prefect's strong recommendation. My stepmother had an idea and wanted to send her to the prefect to fight for a future for my husband.

Rong'er was naturally unwilling (but she dared not disobey her stepmother), as the magistrate was older than her father, and was a concubine. Her own mother was a concubine, and she knew better than anyone what kind of life she lived.

Her biological mother heard from somewhere that the son of her aunt was a high-ranking official in the capital, in the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of personnel transfers in the entire court, so she ran to ask her father for help. Her father also knew that the cousin she mentioned was a powerful person, so he took her to meet her stepmother.

Her stepmother was a shrewd and calculating person. With such a powerful relative, she wouldn't have to worry about her husband's promotion in the future. Moreover, it was said that the lady of that family was a country girl whom she married when her family was poor, so there was more room for her to plan.

Her stepmother immediately bought her clothes and money, and asked her to go to Beijing immediately. She also taught her own strategies for domestic fighting, believing that with her intelligence, it was only a matter of time for her to become successful.

Rong'er really lived up to her expectations and got along well in this family. With the money she brought, the servants gradually became partial to her and looked down on their mistress. Even the people in the young lady's courtyard sometimes dared to ridicule her.

As the relationship between the son-in-law and Miss Rong'er became more and more ambiguous, the young lady's life became more difficult.

Rong'er was also a bold person. She took advantage of her brother-in-law not being at home several times to run to the young lady's yard and make sarcastic remarks, saying that the young lady was not favored by her husband, and was disliked by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her children even treated her like an enemy. She might as well give up her throne as soon as possible, as death would be better than living. Her words were so vicious, completely different from her usual behavior.

The young lady told her husband about this once, and the husband flew into a rage, accusing the young lady of slandering her cousin. He said how could she, such a pure and innocent person, say such things? If she dared to slander Rong'er again, don't blame him for being rude, divorcing her would be the least of his punishment.

Since then, the son-in-law gave the power of housekeeping to the cousin temporarily on the grounds that the young lady was in poor health. You should know that when the young lady arrived in the capital, she gave all the money in her hands to the public treasury. She thought that these would belong to her children in the future, so she didn't keep any. Now that she was no longer the housekeeper, the cousin didn't even give her monthly salary. Relying on the money that Xiao Xingxing had saved before, the two of them had a hard time making ends meet. The food sent from the kitchen became worse and worse, and in the end it was all leftovers.

Just before the Chinese New Year, Rong'er confessed her love to her cousin. She said that she admired her cousin's talent and was willing to be his co-wife. She would not compete with her cousin's wife for anything and would be satisfied just to stay by her cousin's side.

This statement really touched the son-in-law's heart. He had sworn not to take a concubine, but he had not sworn not to take a concubine. The old lady was even more delighted. It was an honor for her to have such a noble lady as her daughter-in-law. Moreover, she was her niece. It was a great thing to have a close relationship. As for the one who was not presentable, it was better not to mention it.

The son-in-law specifically asked for the opinions of the two children. The two children wished that this beautiful cousin would be their mother. That vulgar woman was not worthy of being their mother. As for the younger sister-in-law, she played an indispensable role in Rong'er's courageous confession.

So one winter afternoon, the old lady sent someone to call the young lady to her yard. The young lady hadn't seen the children for a long time and was very happy. She dressed up specially and took Little Star happily.

The whole family was in the room, including Rong'er and her servant. When the young lady came in, the old lady didn't waste any words and told her directly that her husband wanted to marry Rong'er as his co-wife, and that it would be a big wedding. She was told not to cause trouble and to stay in her yard quietly. If she dared to cause trouble, she would be divorced immediately, because she didn't have her family to support her anyway.
