    w Lu Guogong's Mansion, in the garden to the east of the inner house.

    Although Cheng Yaojin was a military commander, he actually came from a noble family. He had been influenced by poetry, calligraphy and etiquette since he was a child, and his literary accomplishments were not low. In addition, he had a wife who was from the Cui family of Qinghe, so the garden in the mansion was built  It's quite elegant.  Flowers, plants and trees are scattered at random, dotted with rockery pavilions, and a small river runs through the garden. There are several small bridges and corridors on the river, which adds a bit of Jiangnan water scenery.

    It is a pity that it is already early winter, and most of the flowers, plants and trees in the garden have withered. Although servants often clean it, there are still a few fallen leaves floating on the winding gravel path. The originally lush lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the river  It has been ruined, with only dead stems stretching out from the water, revealing the light green river water below. It looks so desolate. Only the occasional small fish swimming across the water add a bit of vitality to the garden in winter.

    "Tick tock~tick tock~" A line of crystal water drops dripped from the promenade above the creek, breaking the calmness of the water and making the beautiful figures in the water blurry for a while.

    Cui Mengxue was wearing a plain white home dress. She hugged her knees and leaned against a pillar beside the corridor, looking at her reflection in the water. The tears on her face flowed down her white cheeks and gathered on her pointed chin, and then dropped one by one.  fell into the clear river water.

    Since the Confucian Press reported the incident between Mengxue and Li Min, Mrs. Cheng has strictly prohibited her from going out to practice medicine again. It has been almost half a month now.  As for outside matters, Mrs. Cheng strictly prohibited people in the house from discussing them in front of Mengxue.  But this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from her, so Mengxue already knew that Li Min wanted to force Lu to break off the engagement.  And he also knew that his aunt and elder brother were looking for Li Min before, and knew that they wanted to use him as a bargaining chip.  In exchange for the support of the other party, they can achieve the purpose of retaking the Cui clan leader.

    It was obviously her own marriage, but everyone treated her as an outsider, even her aunt and brother who loved her the most. They only wanted to use her in exchange for greater benefits, but they never asked her if she agreed?  Think of this.  Mengxue couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't stop her tears.

    In fact, Mengxue also understands that as a woman from a noble family, her marriage cannot escape the political purpose of marriage.  For example, her marriage to Lu Hong was actually a political marriage, because the Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang were originally the marriage partners. In order to increase the connection between the two clans, a daughter from the Cui family or a daughter from the Lu family married over every year.  , and she is just one of them.

    Mengxue actually didn¡¯t have much resistance to her marriage to Lu Hong, because she knew from an early age that her future husband would definitely come from the Lu family or the Li family from Zhaojun who had been married to the Cui family in Qinghe for generations.  Her sisters are good proof of this. Without exception, they all married into these two big families. Because of this, she felt very calm when she knew that her marriage partner was Lu Hong from the Fanyang Lu family.  , neither happy nor sad, even marriage for her is just a change of place to live, if that is the only thing she is a little worried about.  I am just afraid that I will no longer be able to practice medicine and save people outside.

    But what Mengxue didn't expect was that when she was ready to marry into the Lu family, her life was interrupted by the King of Qi Li Min who came out halfway. What's even more tragic is that if the other party really likes  That's all he wanted to do, but it was actually just a misunderstanding between the two. It was just because his eyes were very imaginary with the woman he missed, which led to a series of things happening later.  Thinking of this, Mengxue felt a little bit dumbfounded while hurting herself.

    "Alas~!" At this moment, Mengxue suddenly heard a sigh behind her, and then a very familiar voice said, and then a rich lady in palace clothes appeared in the reflection in the river.

    "Mengxue pays homage to aunt!" Cui Mengxue stood up quickly when she saw the lady reflected in the water and wiped the tears on her face before bowing politely.

    The person who came was none other than Mrs. Cheng, but she saw that the tears on Mengxue's face were still wet, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. In addition, Mengxue had not thought about food and tea these days, and she looked even more haggard, which made her feel uncomfortable.  Feel good.  Mrs. Cheng is particularly fond of Mengxue, her biological niece, not only because she feels sorry for the many injustices she suffered when she was young, but also because she likes Mengxue's temperament. After all, this little girl has overcome all odds and achieved medical skills, and has saved countless lives over the years.  , which made Mrs. Cheng, who is also a woman, very admired. Therefore, as Mengxue's closest relative, she naturally liked Mengxue from the bottom of her heart.

    "Silly girl, why don't you know how to take care of your body? You are a doctor and you should know better than me. If you continue like this, you will definitely fall ill!" Mrs. Cheng said, taking out her handkerchief and trying to wipe Mengxue.  Tears rolled down her face, but she gently avoided them.

    Seeing Mengxue¡¯s somewhat repulsive reaction towards her, Mrs. Cheng smiled slightly and pulled Mengxue over without caring, letting her sit next to her.He sat down and then smiled and said: "Why, are you still being mean to your aunt?"

    Although Mengxue sat down obediently, she bowed her head and remained silent in response to Mrs. Cheng's questions.  It was her aunt who had previously offered to use herself as a condition in exchange for Li Min's support for her eldest brother Cui Yu's fight for the clan leader. It was normal for Mengxue to have resentment towards her.

    Looking at her niece's appearance, Mrs. Cheng took Mengxue's hand and put it on her lap. She held it with both hands and said earnestly: "Mengxue, I know you blame your aunt in your heart, but as the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, you have to  Be prepared for this, no matter whether the other person is good or bad, as long as it is for the benefit of the family, you have to marry her without hesitation!"

    When she said this, Mrs. Cheng also showed a trace of sadness on her face. She thought back then, how could she not be a victim of family marriage?  It's just that her life is good. Although Cheng Yaojin is a military general, he comes from a noble family. He has built his own career in troubled times and now holds the position of Duke of the country.

    But I think about the sisters who married at the same time as me. They were all married to influential figures like myself. However, after the troubled times, countless influential figures fell one after another. The most important person who can protect her husband and son like me now is  But one or two, or even many sisters, died directly in the chaos.  Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng's face became even more sad.

    Mengxue heard the sadness in her aunt's words, looked up and saw the other person's sad expression, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She tightly grabbed Mrs. Cheng's hands and said, "Aunt, Mengxue doesn't blame you, she only blames me for giving birth to a child by mistake.  In the Cui family, not only did I kill my father when I was young, but I also caused the death of so many innocent people. By marrying the King of Qi this time, I can forgive myself."

    "Silly girl, how can you believe those rumors? Your father died of a serious illness, and those people died of the plague. They have nothing to do with you. Don't take everything on yourself!" Mrs. Cheng said angrily.  Of course, she was not angry at Mengxue, but at those who made up the rumors back then. After all, blaming a natural disaster like the plague on a little baby was really unconscionable.

    "Aunt, let's not talk about this. Since Mengxue is the daughter of the Cui family, she must consider the interests of the Cui family. Moreover, the eldest brother has been unable to bear the anger in recent years, which has caused the mother to spend all her efforts on this. If Mengxue  If I can help a little, it can be considered as sharing the worry for my mother!" Mengxue sighed and said with a sad face.  Although her mother doesn't like her, as a daughter, Mengxue is still very filial to her mother, and she also knows that her mother is old and if she worries about these things anymore, she may be hurt.

    "You girl!" Mrs. Cheng looked at Mengxue's well-behaved look. She felt pity and sadness in her heart. At the same time, she was a little dissatisfied with her sister-in-law. She didn't like such a filial and sensible daughter. Thinking about it, she didn't even like her.  Makes people angry.

    Although Mengxue agreed to marry Li Min, looking at her sad face, it was obvious that she was still worried about her own fate.  When Mrs. Cheng saw it, she couldn't help but smile and explain: "Mengxue, you don't need to tell me, you can probably tell that Li Min is much better than Lu Hong. No matter in character, appearance or personality, they are both inferior."  Not even a little bit, let alone identity. Although a ‹çÈË has indeed wronged you, King Qi has no heirs yet, and the pregnant ‹çÈË does not know whether he is a boy or a girl. If you can be the first to give birth to Liulang,  Son, with the power of our Cui family and your uncle's help, your status in Prince Qi's Mansion may not be worse than that of the concubine of the Lanling Xiao family!"

    Hearing what her aunt said so straightforwardly, Cui Mengxue blushed because she thought of what happened yesterday. What the man said to her was exactly the same as what her aunt said, and even more embarrassing.

    Mrs. Cheng saw that her niece was a little shy after hearing her story, but she still looked worried. She couldn't help but speak again: "Mengxue, I also heard what your cousin said about you and King Qi.  Yes, although it was a misunderstanding caused by Li Min admitting the wrong person, but our Mengxue is so beautiful and has a lovable temperament, I don¡¯t believe that bastard Li Min is not tempted!"

    "Aunt, King Qi is not that kind of lecherous person. Don't think too badly of me!" Cui Mengxue couldn't help but defend herself when Mrs. Cheng speculated on Li Min's personality.  Mengxue's impression of him changed a lot when she saw that Li Min gave artificial respiration to an ugly girl in order to save others.

    Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed when she heard her niece defended Li Min. She probably didn't even notice that her attitude towards Li Min had changed. Although she had not yet completely accepted Li Min from her heart, she had already opened a new window.  gap.

    "Mengxue, I almost forgot something important. I heard that Concubine Yang summoned you to the palace yesterday and stayed there all afternoon. What on earth were you talking about?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered that she came today.  Main purpose??So he asked.  Welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation.  m
