The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

When everyone was caught off guard, the eldest master suddenly rushed towards Fang Yuaner and kicked her in the stomach.

"Bitch! You killed my mother, you deserve to die!"

"You and the bastard in your belly should die together!"

Qiuxiang shouted in shock, "Master, be careful."

He threw himself forward and protected Fang Yuaner.

Several screams rang out one after another.

It was Eunuch Shi'an who reacted the fastest. He flew over and hugged the eldest son, blocking the kick.

If a strong four-year-old child kicks someone hard, it will still hurt a lot.

Eunuch Shi'an was kicked in the stomach and cried out in pain, holding his belly.

Guards had already stepped forward and held the eldest young master on both sides.

The eldest son kicked his legs in the air and cursed Fang Yuaner with all kinds of dirty words.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations.

When Fang Yuaner first talked about the eldest master's behavior, everyone thought that Fang Yuaner was deliberately exaggerating.

He also felt that she was narrow-minded and was fussy about a child, and even viciously forced Concubine Ning to death in front of the eldest master.

Now seeing the fierce look on the eldest master's face, he felt that Fang Yuan'er was really unlucky.

Being bitten by such a crazy mother and son.

If that kick just now had really hit Fang Yuaner's stomach, I'm afraid both mother and child would have been in danger.

King Jing's voice was filled with anger, "Throw this rebellious son into the snow to wake him up!"

The princess quickly bowed, "Your Highness, please calm down! The eldest son is young and has lost his mother suddenly, so it's understandable that he would act inappropriately. But it's freezing outside, it's really taking a toll on his health..."

King Jing said coldly: "Lost his mother? Who is his mother? Princess, don't forget your status."

The princess' heart sank, "Yes."

Then, King Jing’s extremely cold voice was heard.

"Ning's bitch, you instigated discord between the eldest son and his concubine mother. You deserve to die!"

Everyone felt a gust of cold wind blowing through their bones, and their legs trembled unconsciously.

King Jing's words shifted all the responsibility onto the deceased concubine Ning, and directly denied the mother-son relationship between the eldest son and concubine Ning.

It also protected the eldest master and Fang Yuaner.

It is not a pity for her to die, but I am afraid that no one in the palace will dare to mention Ning Shiqie anymore.

"Jing Wu, take the eldest young master out to wake him up!"

Jing Wu, who was like an invisible man, responded, "My lord, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he picked up the eldest son with one hand and threw him into the snow outside.

King Jing added, "Concubine Fang has a reckless nature and has no desire for refinement. She will be confined to the Summer Pond Courtyard for six months."

Fang Yuaner straightened her back and saluted, not showing any fear at all, "I accept the punishment!"

Prince Jing glanced indifferently at the breathless Concubine Ning and said, "Princess, I leave the Ning family to you."

After a pause, he added, "Let's deal with it as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The princess calmly took over the aftermath of Lanxiang Courtyard and had the body of Concubine Ning buried.

The others also left early.

Mother Li asked softly, "Princess, what should we do about Concubine Ning's funeral?"

It turned out that Concubine Ning was about to die. The princess figured out King Jing's thoughts and prepared to arrange Concubine Ning's funeral according to the rites for a concubine.

But this time, even though Concubine Ning died, she was still hated by King Jing.

If we continue to follow the rites for a concubine, it might easily cause dissatisfaction among the princes and lead to rumors from all sides.

The princess said calmly, "Didn't the prince say to deal with it as soon as possible?"

Mother Li nodded immediately, "I understand."

The princess then said, "Just put it in the coffin we prepared earlier. For everything else, keep it simple."

"Yes."

The princess had a lot of resentment towards Concubine Ning.

He also secretly cursed her to die early.

But now seeing her die so miserably, I couldn't help but feel a sense of grief.

If the coffin had not been prepared in advance, I'm afraid I would have just wrapped it in a tattered mat and been done with it.

When Concubine Ning was favored, she probably never imagined that she would be so miserable and lonely after her death?

Xie Run held Dan Tao's hand tightly and hurried back to Chunshan Courtyard.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, she came to her senses.

Xie Run's eyes were dim, like the reflection of light from glass, revealing confusion and helplessness. "Dan Tao, did you see that?"

Dan Tao just took a sip of tea.

Hearing this, he nodded slightly, holding the tea bowl, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

She spoke slowly, "Concubine Ning's body seems to have been poisoned..."

It was only when they arrived at Lanxiang Courtyard that they heard the eldest master's cries, which showed that Concubine Ning had just passed away.

But the concubine Ning, who was lying on the ground, had a strange purple-blue color on her face.

At first glance, one might mistakenly think that these were scars caused by Fang Yuaner's beating.

If you look more closely, you will find that the purple color comes from the skin.

It seems fine on the outside, but it's rotten on the inside.

Xie Run lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea. "Neither the prince nor the princess showed any strange expression. I'm afraid they both knew."

My heart felt inexplicably cold.

Then Xie Run was heard saying, "The prince is really cruel."

If he just wanted to kill Ning Shifei, it would be fine, but he had to use poison to destroy her body bit by bit, drain her energy, and pretend that she died of a serious illness.

All this was just because he was afraid of affecting the so-called father-son relationship in his heart.

After all, Concubine Ning gave birth to two sons for him, so he could at least give her a quick death, right?

He killed someone's mother and still talked about father-son love.

It always sounds ridiculous.

Perhaps, one day, King Jing will no longer favor her.

Will it also cause her to die quietly?

Dan Tao was startled and looked around quickly.

After making sure there were no outsiders around, he lowered his voice and reminded, "Master, be careful with your words!"

Although she thought so too, there were some things that she could not say out loud no matter how much she thought about them.

Xie Run leaned back in his chair, looking slightly tired. "I know. I wouldn't dare tell anyone outside."

She slowly opened her eyes, "If one day I end up like Concubine Ning, I would rather have a glass of poisoned wine."

Having been bedridden for more than ten years in his previous life, Xie Run hated being sick.

Especially when seriously ill and struggling towards death.

Dan Tao: "Pooh, pooh, pooh! What nonsense is the master talking about?!"

"You are a very blessed person. You will live a long and healthy life."

Xie Run smiled, his worries gone, "I like to hear that."

Suddenly, Xie Run asked again, "Why do you think the eldest son suddenly hates Concubine Fang so much?"

"If it's because of Concubine Fang's poisoning, shouldn't he hate me too?"

But today, when the eldest master saw her, he had no reaction.

"Why does the eldest young master hate the master?" Dan Tao's heart was completely on Xie Run. "The master didn't take his anger out on the eldest young master because of Concubine Ning. It's already a sign of the master's kindness!"

"The eldest son resents Concubine Fang because the feud between Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning is too deep."

"The two of them became sworn enemies at the Qixi family banquet. Later, Concubine Ning was demoted and imprisoned, and Concubine Fang also contributed to the situation."

"The grudge between these two people is hard to explain."

"Don't worry, I know you care about me." Xie Run looked at Dan Tao's protective look, and his heart was warmed. "But I always feel that this is instigated by someone behind the scenes."

Dan Tao paused and said softly, "Do you think it could be the princess? After all, the princess raised the eldest son for a period of time."

"Precisely because the princess raised the eldest son, she is the least likely to do such a thing."

Xie Run shook his head. "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'melon field plum tree'?"
