Grandma Li said worriedly, "The Cao family in Qingyang is probably coming this time because of the matter of Second Young Master Hua."
Huarong sighed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so hesitant, wandering around many times and not daring to enter. I'm afraid I don't want to come here to lose face, but because of Hua Zihao, I have to come."
Li Momo asked realistically, "What is the empress going to do? According to this old slave, the second young master is more than enough in Lizheng, and he is taking advantage of him."
"I also understand." Hua Rong was a little embarrassed, "Let's take a step and see."
After a while, Cao Shi of Qingyang was brought in. When she came in, her expression was a little flustered and nervous. She was not as graceful as the first time. Her posture was normal, and she almost knelt down when she saluted. Huarong almost thought that she was going to kneel as soon as she came up. Please, I'm at a loss.
However, the upbringing in the past supported Mrs. Cao, and after saluting, she got up gracefully.
Huarong immediately invited her to sit down, and Nanny Li poured two cups of tea, then stepped aside.
Simple greetings for a while, a few casual chats.
Finally, Mrs. Cao couldn't hold it any longer. The fingers holding the teacup turned white, and there was no blood on her face. Her lips trembled up and down, like a person who fell into the water trembling in the wind, and her eyes were full of entanglement, hesitation and pain.
"Ma'am"
Cao Shi raised her head suddenly, Hua Rong thought she was about to start talking, and was about to listen patiently, but Cao Shi gritted her teeth, got up and left.
"The concubine remembered that there were still important matters at home, sohe took his leave first and left."
Huarong was stunned for a few seconds, somewhat surprised by Cao's decision, subconsciously said "Yes".
Cao Shi saluted again and left in a hurry.
Just about to step out of the room, Huarong held the teacup, thought for a while, and then called out, "Is there something you want to ask Bengong this time?"
As soon as Cao's body stiffened, she froze in place, her somewhat curled back suddenly straightened, straight, shining through the sun, and she could tell from her beautiful face that she was shaking.
Huarong decided to give her a chance, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Cao Shi suddenly choked up a very soft sob, suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Huarong, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't care about the occasion and burst into tears, just murmured, "Your Majesty"
Huarong sighed, looking at her appearance, she was afraid that she had been wronged.
"What's the matter? Mother Cao helped Mrs. Cao up."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Nanny Li stepped forward, Mrs. Cao grabbed Huarong's clothes corner, bit her lip, and tears rolled down her face.
Huarong was startled, and quickly prepared to help herself, "What's the matter? What happened?"
As soon as the words fell, Cao suddenly cried out, with a cry of extreme grief, and then her eyes were red, begging urgently and painfully.
"Mother, I beg you, please, save me and Ye'er, please"
Huarong was startled and stunned, it was the first time she saw this kind of scene, she quickly gave Madam Li a wink, and together with her helped Mrs. Cao up.
When Cao's mood calmed down a little, Huarong asked, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Cao didn't speak, but rolled up her sleeves, exposing her two arms.
Both Huarong and Nanny Li were taken aback. There were deep and shallow scars all over the two slender arms, and they were all dark purple. They were densely distributed on the white arms, which looked particularly shocking.
Huarong was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Thiswas this Hua Zihao hitting?"
Cao Shi nodded with tears in his eyes.
Huarong was stunned, and she didn't speak for a long time. She knew that Hua Zihao was an asshole, but she didn't expect it to reach such a point.
"Is there any other place?"
When Huarong asked, Cao's tears, which could barely be stopped, rushed out again, as if crying out all the grievances he had suffered in these years.
"All over the body."
Huarong's eyes widened, her mind froze, her arms alone were so shocking, what would it look like if they were all over her body? How painful is this?
"how so?"
Cao smiled wryly, "Although Hua Zihao is the second brother of the empress, the empress may not know Hua Zihao. That man looks cruel, but in fact he is even more cruel. Whenever something goes wrong, he will start beating his concubine and venting his anger. Beating up concubines."
Huarong couldn't help asking, "Didn't youdidn't tell the third lady and father?"
Mrs. Cao sneered, "What's the use of telling? After going back, there was another beating. ??It¡¯s just that the concubine is like this, and the concubines in the family can¡¯t escape Hua Zihao¡¯s clutches. She thinks she can be calmer except for the pregnancy in October, and she is always worried.
I told the third lady that she didn't believe it, or maybe she couldn't believe it. After all, Hua Zihao was just a good-tempered good son in her eyes. She couldn't bear to blame him, so let us bear it and talk too much. She even warns us. As for the fatherhe doesn't care about it anymore. In his eyes, Hua Zihao, the son, is long gone. "
Huarong was speechless, Hua Zihao was the only son of the third wife. How could she bear to blame him? You can even help him hide it and help him deal with it.
"Why did you marry him in the first place?"
Cao Shi was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a little chilled by Hua Rong's words, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Mother, do you know that there are many things in this world that you can't help yourself. Why did you marry him? Because of the Cao family in Qingyang, because of the decline of the Cao family in Qingyang, uncles and aunts control the marriage. They want to revitalize the Cao family in Qingyang. To be precise, he wanted to use his concubine as a pawn to marry into a rich family, so as to gain benefits.
In the past, Hua Zihao didn't look like this. At first, although he was unhappy, he didn't hate him, so he should be regarded as a respectful guest, but later from the time he became Lizheng, he changed his appearance, becoming more and more Cruel, more and more brutal. "
Huarong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the question she just asked was stupid, and even blamed her for not being able to recognize people clearly. There are too many involuntary things in the world, but she is lucky. She has Huai Nan who loves him like fate, and Nian Yu Nian Rong. For some reason, she suddenly misses him so much.
"Feel sorry."
Cao Shi was startled, smiled wryly and shook her head, "I am used to it."
? I am used to being beaten, I am used to being accused of being unclear, there are too many, but I am also used to it
"This time it's because" Huarong asked with difficulty.
Mrs. Cao sobbed for a while, "My lady, I didn't want to come here to bother you. I know that my lady has already done great favor to the Qingyang Cao family. I really don't want to, I really don't want to ¡±
Huarong sighed, she lingered at the door, got up to say goodbye and left, she really remembered how she helped her Qingyang Cao family, she really didn't want to bother herself.
This also made me feel sorry for her more.
"I know, I know. It's okay, it will be okay." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
