MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 587 Not worthy
Even a woman’s tears can’t stop the sun from rising as usual.
The sun is shining and it’s a nice day.
Yesterday, the battle between the east and west courtyards, one was happy and the other was sad, made the atmosphere turbulent, but Mrs. Xie in the main room had a good night's sleep.
After she got up refreshed, she had a delicious breakfast and heard word spread that Taoyao from the east courtyard had come to say hello.
Yanzhi hurriedly stepped forward and reminded Ms. Xie, "The prince spent the night at Aunt Tao's place yesterday."
Yesterday, Meng's family came up with such a bitter trick, but they actually failed to retain Zhao Xuan.
Xie Shi smiled and said, "He is awesome."
“Invite her in.”
After a while, Taoyao followed the servant woman inside. When she saw Mrs. Xie, she bowed politely and said hello, and then presented her with a piece of fine mink velvet: "This is the hunting treasure of the prince when I accompanied him to hunt a few days ago." Yes, I asked the craftsmen outside to make a small shawl and gave it to Madam to keep out the cold. I hope Madam will not dislike it."
Xie smiled and said, "Just keep these things for yourself."
Tao Yao said: "I am of low status, how can I be qualified to wear this? Such a good thing should be given to my wife."
Xie ordered people to accept it and rewarded her with some clothing materials, but she said nothing about what happened yesterday.
Tao Yao left the main house and was about to go back to her side yard when she saw Meng standing under the tree, as if waiting for someone.
You can guess without even thinking that he must be trying to block her.
Tao Yao walked towards Meng, with a smile on her face, and gave her a slight salute: "I have met my concubine."
She was wearing a moon-white jacket, paired with a rose-red trousers, which made her skin look like snow, and her slim waist was slightly curved, making her even more charming and graceful.
Mengshi said coldly: "I heard that you were sick yesterday?"
“Ha! I think you’re in good spirits, don’t you?”
Tao Yao smiled slightly: "Yesterday, the prince took care of me all night, and I feel fine when I wake up this morning. But I am worried about my concubine, so I feel really sorry."
As soon as Tao Yao finished speaking, Meng gave her a slap on the face.
“You, a cheap servant, are nothing but a cheap woman, a seductress and a troublemaker.”
Mr.
Xie put down her account book and asked, "When did it happen?"
Yanzhi told Mrs. Xie the conflict between the two of them in detail, and said angrily: "Since Mrs. Meng became pregnant, she has been arrogant and arrogant. She always steals from Madam. My dearest son, I was robbed by Aunt Tao last night, and she started acting up."
Xie sneered: "I really can't keep calm."
He asked again: "Can Aunt Tao fight back?"
Yanzhi replied: "Aunt Tao didn't fight back at all. She was already helped back to the room."
“But Aunt Tao has ordered someone to invite the Crown Prince.”
"Do you think the prince will turn to her?"
Mrs. Xie replied: "Since my husband intervened, there is nothing wrong with us." After saying that, she immersed herself in reading the account book, and ordered the little girl: "Go and cook me a bowl of bird's nest."
But Taoyao returned to the house, looked at the face that was beaten by Meng in the bronze mirror, and then called the serving girl, pointed to the place where Meng had just been beaten, and ordered: "Come here, and hit again." I'll hit you here." The little girl was surprised: "Auntie, are you confused by the concubine? I have already sent the young man to look for the crown prince. The concubine is bullying people too much. You should let the crown prince support you. .”
Tao Yao said: "Of course I won't be humiliated by her in vain. I just want to fight back in a way that will make him feel distressed enough."
Zhao Xuan was about to go out when she heard that the two concubines were fighting. She hurried back to the back house. When she entered the wing in the east courtyard, she saw Taoyao sitting with her face covered and crying silently. Zhao Xuan hurried over. , took her hand away, and saw that half of her face was swollen, and blood was still faintly oozing from the corner of her mouth.
“Why is it hurt like this?”
Such a charming face was now beaten beyond recognition, and Zhao Xuan was so anxious that his voice changed.
Tao Yao slowly knelt down and cried: "I am truly blessed to be favored by the prince, but my concubine doesn't like me. She makes things difficult for me every time we meet. Today I was beaten by her. There's no telling if she will take my life tomorrow, please show mercy to me, why don't you just let me go."
Zhao Xuan was so angry that he snarled at the table: "I didn't expect that she would be so arrogant now."
He helped Taoyao up and said angrily: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't allow her to bully you."
In the west courtyard, the servants and women were comforting Meng.
"The concubine is pregnant, but don't be like that bitch, be careful of the pregnancy."
Meng was angry: "Even that old woman Xie has to give me some respect. This ignorant **** dares to steal someone from me. She deserves it!"
"The concubine should calm down. That aunt is in the prince's mood. If you hit her today, I'm afraid the prince will be unhappy."
Meng's chest heaved with anger: "Isn't the relationship between me and the prince's childhood sweetheart worse than that of a bitch? Now I am pregnant with his flesh and blood, how can he not support me?"
Just as he was talking, Zhao Xuannu broke in angrily, and when he entered the door, he coldly shouted away the servant girl.
Seeing him like this, Meng couldn't help feeling a little weak, but she still held on and asked him: "What, are you really going to ignore me for being a bitch?"
Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes at Meng and said coldly: "Why did you hit her?"
Mengshi replied: "She has kidnapped you from me again and again. It was obviously her first deception."
Zhao Xuan sneered: "Then whenever I'm at Madam's place, don't you try to trick me over and over again? Why has Madam ever given you trouble because of this?"
When Mrs. Meng heard that Zhao Xuan compared her with Mrs. Xie, the anger in her heart completely burned.
Tao Yao was favored again, but she was just a lowly girl. To be honest, although Meng was angry, she did not put her at ease. In her heart, only Xie, an old rival who had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, was her strong enemy.
Although Xie holds the position of head wife, Zhao Xuan is more fond of her.
This is Meng's confidence.
Now that Zhao Xuan said that he was not as good as Mr. Xie, how could Mr. Meng bear it?
She stood up, pointed at Zhao Xuan, and asked almost hysterically: "You mean I'm not as good as Mr. Xie, right?"
She trembled and her voice trembled: "Are the vows you told me about each other before were all lies to me? Over the years, I have devoted myself to you as my concubine and suffered all kinds of hardships from her, but in the end, you gave me your sincerity She did."
“Zhao Xuan, where is your conscience?”
“Let the dog eat it?”
Hearing Meng's accusation, Zhao Xuan's face became darker and darker. He glanced at her and replied coldly: "Xie is better than you in every way. You are not worthy of carrying her shoes."
