In the winter.
Heavy snow fell.
The cold wind was chilling, and the morning had just subsided slightly. The stove was burning brightly, and the bedside was warm.
Xiao Ling, the matriarch of the Han family, slowly opened his eyes because there was nothing around him. The place where the person was cold.
Her eyes turned and dimmed a little. She thought that Xuelang must have gone to Tenth Concubine's place yesterday. This was good. The weather was cold now and her body was extremely weak. Xuelang could take care of her elsewhere.
The room was very quiet. She leaned against the bed and felt lonely for a while. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly heard a sound outside the door. A servant girl in a long dress stumbled in from the door. She heard a "bang". It was her personal servant girl,"Jinniang", who rushed in a sorry state.
His entire body was covered in dust, and even his makeup was ruined from crying. However, he could not care less about anything else. Instead, he rushed over and grabbed Han Xiaoling's hand, and his tears were already flowing.
"Jinniang." Xiao Ling's hair was hooked by her fingers, and it was tearing at him. However, her voice did not change. She gently took her hand and asked,""What's wrong? Don't be anxious."
" Master, this servant, this servant heard the plan between Master and Tenth Concubine. They, they-"
Before Jin Niang could finish her sentence, there was another sound from the door. The curtain was pushed open and the door slammed to the side. Jin Niang was shocked. Xiao Lingxiao shivered in the cold wind, but when she looked up, she saw a cold calmness.
Tenth Concubine came in with a few strong maidservants. She was holding a piece of paper and a bowl of ginseng soup.
Jinniang's face turned pale.
Tenth Concubine, why aren't you bowing?" Xiao Ling's gaze turned colder. His fingers paused when he saw the bowl of ginseng soup, but his face remained cold.
Tenth Concubine's gaze fell deeply on Xiao Ling. She had been bedridden for too long, and her original beauty had faded. However, she now looked much gentler, unlike the matriarch of the Han family who held the power. If the old master saw her like this, he wondered if he would regret it.
A hint of mockery flashed across her face. She clenched her fingers slightly and thought, so what if she was beautiful? Wasn't this the same outcome now?
She picked up the thin piece of paper and handed it to him along with the ginseng soup."Hasn't Madam been feeling unwell recently? It was better to drink some medicine first before looking at it. Otherwise, he might not be able to withstand this stimulation later.”
Her voice was very soft, and her gloating voice grew stronger.
Han Xiaoling's heart sank, but he glanced at the person behind him.""You came to my place early in the morning to make me feel uncomfortable. Do you still have to worry that I won't be able to take any stimulation?”
The people following behind Tenth Concubine were a little shocked. They couldn't help but step back a little. They didn't dare to look up. They no longer had the imposing manner from before.
Tenth Concubine was a little annoyed, but she smiled and held her arm, saying,""They were all found by Old Master to let Furen better understand Old Master's determination.”
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused. He looked at her."Oh? What determination?"
Tenth Concubine couldn't help but raise her eyebrows gloatingly,""Could it be that Furen still doesn't know? Old Master had been promoted a few days ago. Today was more than a month.”
Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm.""So what?"
"Old Master was appreciated by others and had the opportunity to be promoted. He did not rely on Furen, but someone else. And that person was not willing to be a YiNiang.”Tenth Concubine's smile became even more joyful." My wife has been in the Han Residence for five years. It's not impossible for her to live a luxurious life. However, there are people who don't want to see you.”
"Shi Shi, didn't I teach you to keep your mouth shut?”Xiao Ling raised his head and stared at her coldly." If such a thing really happened, why didn't you come and tell me yourself?"”
After being under Han Xiaoling's authority for too long, Shi Shi was truly afraid. His face paled a little, and he retreated a little, not daring to look at her.
However, she quickly laughed again. Thinking that Han Xiaoling's life was over, she covered her mouth and said,""Madam, there are three ways to be unfilial. If you had a child, wouldn't today's incident not have happened? But you didn't. But you lost two children for the Han family. If I divorce you just like that, I won't be able to put up a good face. You'd better be sensible.”
Two children? Why did she lose two children?
"I'm warning you once more. Shi clan, don't make me cut off your tongue.”Xiao Ling's expression turned cold again. He looked at her coldly."If you enforce the family law, no one can save you!”
Frightened by her imposing manner, Shi Shi took a few steps back. His face turned pale, and his words became a little messy."This concubine has never spoken carelessly, and this concubine has never participated. Everything was made by Old Master. This ginseng soup was personally made by Old Master for Furen!”
Shocked by Xiao Ling's words, Tenth Concubine was eager to shirk the responsibility. She tugged at Jinniang, the maid beside her.""If you don't believe me, ask her. She heard what Master said!”
Xiao Ling's gaze was cold as it slowly landed on Jinniang.
Her heart began to feel bitter, and her lips and tongue felt bitter. However, she still went to see Jinniang. She wanted to see Jinniang shake her head. She hoped that Tenth Concubine had made all of this up. However, an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
How could Xue Lang do this to him? Five years of marriage, five years of love, how could Xuelang be so cruel!
"Jinniang?" Her voice fell softly, wanting to hear Jin Niang's firm denial!
After following Xiao Ling for so many years, how could he not understand his temperament? Jin Nian was unusually upset, but he was still determined and nodded slowly.
She had seen everything from the beginning to the end. If she hadn't made a sound later, she would probably have known more.
Xiao Ling's body stiffened, and all his strength dissipated. He looked much older as he leaned against the bed.
Tenth Concubine sneered even more. This was probably the first time she had stepped on Xiao Ling, and her face was ferocious."You also know that the Young Lady's maiden family is a person with great power and is naturally very noble. If she came here, she would also be proud and arrogant. She can't tolerate your existence. Moreover, the Han family is a prestigious family and can't spread Old Master's bad reputation, so you should end it yourself.”
As he spoke, the cup of ginseng soup was placed closer.
Xiao Ling sneered as he listened.
It was not uncommon for people to force their wives to death for the sake of fame and fortune or a new wife. However, they did not expect that this time, it would happen to them. What a heartless person!
If she hadn't been so careful and scheming, how could he be where he was today? He was full of ambition, but he was unfamiliar and untalented. If it wasn't for her being meticulous and meticulous, how could the Han Residence be where it is today?
She didn't expect that the illusion would be gone, and she would end up like this after giving up all her blood for Han Lingxue!
What a good husband, what a good snowman!
She was childless all her life, and outsiders would say that it was her fault, but who would know that it was because of the Han family? But now, he was using a childless reason to take her life against his conscience!
Xiao Ling laughed mockingly and looked at her.""I'm afraid that the new madam taught you this method, right?”
It was not easy for Tenth Concubine to think of all these things. Even if she did, she did not have the courage to do so without anyone backing her. Even Han Ling Xue was probably bewitched by the new Madam!
"So what if I am?" Seeing that she had been exposed, Tenth Concubine was slightly annoyed." If it wasn't for the kindness of the new madam and the fact that she let you know the truth, you would have died without even knowing how you died!"”
Her words were already filled with disdain.
"If you don't want to drink, I'll feed you myself.”Tenth Concubine smiled strangely and walked over with the ginseng soup.
Jin Niang was shocked and rushed over, but she was pushed away by the strong old woman. Her head hit the wall and blood immediately flowed like a pillar, but she still shouted hoarsely,"Madam, you can't die!"
Tenth Concubine sneered and shouted at the maids,""Why aren't you throwing her out? What was the use of having such a maid in the Han Residence? Are you going to wait for the new madam to come and deal with you one by one?”
The originally hesitant old maids immediately rushed forward and dragged Jin Niang, who had already fallen to the ground, out.
Tenth Concubine looked coldly at the blood on the ground and handed the ginseng soup to her.""Madam, don't make a fuss. Old Master still remembers our old relationship and can still give you a complete corpse.”
Han Lingxue had never wanted her to be expelled from the court. She only wanted her to die cleanly for his reputation and future, so that no one would gossip about her!
Xiao Ling burst out laughing. Good, good!
Had she already reached the point of waiting?
He didn't even hesitate to let her die. Could it be that she was dirtying his eyes like this and couldn't compare to that beautiful wife?
Han Lingxue, what a great girl!
Back then, she had resolutely married a woman who was ten miles tall. Today, she would end up like her!
Xiao Ling's smile was so ferocious that Tenth Concubine did not dare to approach him. However, she remembered the new madam's promise, so she gritted her teeth and walked over. However, before she could hand over the ginseng soup, Xiao Ling swept it to the side. The juice and jade bowl smashed to the ground. The sound made Tenth Concubine's heart tremble!
Han Lingxue, Han Lingxue!
The juice splattered on her favorite oleander by the bed. The oleander gradually turned black, just like her heart, which had been ground into pieces.
However, there was a smile on her face at this moment. She was as dazzling as the matriarch of the Han family in the past. She stood up and walked toward Tenth Concubine, ignoring the paleness of her body and the liquid on the floor.
Tenth Concubine was shocked and wanted to retreat a little.""What are you doing? Don't let me call people to use violence!"
"I just have some words for you to pass on. After all, I've been in the Han family for so long that there are some things that even Snowman doesn't know.”Xiao Ling smiled gently. He picked up a ruby hairpin from the dressing table and played with it carefully.
This hairpin was the most precious thing Xue Lang had given her back then. It was personally polished by Xue Lang. It was also this hairpin and his bloody hands that captured her heart.
Tenth Concubine was a little hesitant. She stood there and looked at her, but Xiao Ling was not in a hurry. He just stood there and smiled at her."There are some business accounts-"
