The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 123 Affair

King Jing: "The more these people want to hate you, the more I will reward you!"

He was thinking about what good things to give Xie Run as a reward.

In theory, concubines would receive rewards after giving birth, but what the rewards would be and how much they would be depended on King Jing's wishes.

For a moment, King Jing wished he could open the warehouse and let Xie Runxuan choose.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment.

As long as the princess is still alive, everything in the backyard will be under her care.

It is impossible for King Jing to act only according to his own wishes.

King Jing lowered his head and asked, "What reward does Sui Sui want?"

When he looked up, he found that Xie Run had fallen asleep in his arms without him knowing when.

The thick, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were still tears on them.

That beautiful and charming face was full of fatigue and paleness, which made people feel nervous.

When King Jing thought of what Xie Run said, he could already foresee how dangerous it would be for her to give birth today.

After giving birth with great difficulty, I still have to drag my tired body to explain to myself.

The more King Jing thought about it, the more he couldn't help but feel pity for Xie Run.

That night, King Jing rested in Chunshan Courtyard.

The next morning, Xie Run just woke up and saw Dan Tao with a serious expression.

Xie Run: "What's wrong?"

Dan Tao said, "Master, the prince rested in our courtyard yesterday. He didn't go to court today. He was summoned by the princess's men early in the morning."

"If there is no important matter, the princess never calls for help from the concubines' rooms..." Xie Run was very calm: "I'm afraid the person behind the scenes has taken action."

"It's something I expected a long time ago."

Since the other party has found out about Fang Huaian's affairs, it is impossible that they just use it to scare Xie Run.

Having Fang Huaian come to the house to cause trouble during childbirth was just the first scene.

In the second scene, I'm afraid they will try to expose the relationship between Xie Run and Fang Huaian in the backyard and tell everyone that Xie Run and Fang Huaian are having an affair!

Once this matter is confirmed, even if King Jing does not punish Xie Run, it will definitely leave a thorn in his heart.

This thorn was in King Jing's heart, and it was impossible for him to continue to favor Xie Run.

Even if it is not confirmed, there will be three layers of waves in the backyard without any trouble, and rumors will definitely fly in the future.

Many words change their meaning as they are passed on.

No matter how much King Jing doted on Xie Run, he couldn't bear to listen to rumors about Xie Run and other men every day.

These two plays must be performed together to achieve the greatest effect.

One thing after another, they were simply trying to kill Xie Run!

If Xie Run had not noticed it in advance, he would definitely have died.

Thinking of this, Xie Run's eyes darkened a little, "Don't be nervous, tell me what happened first."

Dan Tao lowered her head, feeling bitterness at the corners of her mouth.

Dan Tao: "This morning, someone was wandering at the gate of the palace and was caught by the gatekeeper. She said she was your maid who had served you since she was a child. Please save her."

"As soon as she was brought to Qingsong Courtyard, she told me everything about you and that man."

Xie Run frowned and said calmly, "Is it Chun Xing?"

Dan Tao nodded.

Xie Run was so angry that he laughed, "You are really capable."

"I was able to find this little girl who had been sold for almost a year!"

Chun Xing is the maid who has served Xie Run since childhood.

Because Chun Xing helped to convey some of the matters between the original owner and Fang Huaian.

The original owner jumped into the water and was rescued, but Chun Xing was sold to a human trafficker hired by the Xie family.

Now that the other party wants to prove the affair between Xie Run and Fang Huaian, Chun Xing, the maid who has served Xie Run since childhood, is extremely useful.

Xie Run lay back on the bed. "I explained everything to the prince last night. I denied the matter with Fang Huaian and said it was just a rumor."

"You just insisted that it didn't happen, and they couldn't produce any evidence."

"Even if Chun Xing tells the truth, the prince won't believe it without evidence."

Dan Tao's face was solemn: "I know what to do!"

When they arrived at Qingsong Courtyard, Prince Jing and the Princess were both sitting at the top.

After Dan Tao finished her ceremony, Madam Li beside the princess said, "Miss Dan Tao, you are the one who came into the mansion with the master."

"Come and take a look. Do you recognize the person in front of you?"

Dan Tao took a closer look and immediately recognized Chun Xing kneeling on the ground.

She originally served the old lady. She was a few years older than Chun Xing, but she often saw this girl.

Dan Tao bowed calmly, "My Lord and Princess, I recognize her."

"She is Chun Xing. She originally served my master, but she instigated him to run away from home, causing him to almost drown. That's why she was sold out by the master."

Chun Xing, who had been cowering with her head down, suddenly looked up and shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"

"It was clearly the Second Miss who wanted to elope with Master Fang, but Master Fang didn't show up to keep his promise, so the Second Miss jumped into the lake out of shame!"

"The eldest master was afraid that the second young lady's scandal would be exposed and would affect her entry into the palace as a concubine, so he sold me!"

Dan Tao looked at Chun Xing coldly.

"It seems that the eldest lady is right. You are a treacherous girl. You had no good intentions from the beginning."

"He was restless at home, instigating discord between the master and his sisters, deceiving his superiors and his subordinates, and later even encouraged his master to escape secretly. Now he has come all the way here to throw dirty water on my master!"

Back then in the Xie family, Dan Tao served the old lady and was a few years older than Chun Xing.

When Chun Xing meets her, she will respectfully call her sister.

Now she has been the eldest maid in Chunshan Court for a long time, and has developed a strong aura. Coupled with her extraordinary demeanor, she immediately intimidated Chun Xing.

Dan Tao knew very well that the more times like this, the more important it was to gain the upper hand in momentum.

She questioned him repeatedly: "You are not a good person to begin with, who would believe what you say?!"

"Many things, when spoken with sweet words, can throw a basin of dirty water on people that cannot be washed away, and I don't know how many people have been killed by it."

"You've come all the way here just to accuse my master of adultery. What good does that do you?"

"Or did someone promise you something?!"

"Who else gave you the courage to do such a murderous thing?!"

At the end, Dan Tao even shouted sternly: "Tell the truth now!"

Chun Xing was frightened by this sound.

Subconsciously, he said, "I didn't! I really didn't mean to hurt anyone!"

"Yes……"

"What is it?" Dan Tao pressed, "Who sent you here?"

"What did she tell you?!"

"She promised to save your life? Do you know that what you did could lead to the death of your family?"

"Do you really think the person behind you can save your life?!"

From this moment on, Dan Tao knew that she had the upper hand in the conversation between her and Chun Xing.

Fortunately, there is no need to pay respects today, and no concubines have come to the princess's Qingsong Courtyard.

Otherwise, if these people instigate a few words, things will get worse.

Chun Xing trembled and retorted: "I'm not lying. The Second Miss is clearly having an affair with Master Fang!"

Dan Tao asked calmly, "Let me ask you, you said that the master and Mr. Fang had an old relationship, where is the evidence?!"

Chun Xing felt as if she had been pardoned, and took out a few handkerchiefs and letters from her bosom.

She said excitedly, "I have the private letters between the Second Miss and Master Fang! I also have the handkerchief that the master gave to Master Fang!"

"These are all evidence! I really didn't lie!"

Little did they know that when King Jing and the Princess above saw this scene, there was only coldness on their faces, and there was not much emotion in their eyes.
