Chapter 314: No Choice (Part )
The Fifth Lady's original nervousness gradually disappeared. This was the first time that she dared to look her husband, the Fifth Prince, in the eye. She did not retreat or look away. The Fifth Lady thought that Wen Yao was so frank and daring to say what she wanted, even if it was not good, she dared to say it!
The Fifth Concubine pursed her lips slightly. The Fifth Prince was not in a hurry. He waited for his own Concubine to speak herself. Just like what the Ninth Brother said, he never gave her a chance. He felt wronged, but wasn't she also wronged?
How could she have a choice? At least she could choose the person she liked, but what about her?
Maybe there was Hongsheng between them. They could not be each other's confidants. At least he couldn't get over it in his heart. He knew very well that it was his wife who plotted Hongsheng's life!
Even if it was the Royal Mother who did it, there was nothing she could do!
It was his own mistake, and after reflecting on it, he would give her the respect that a wife deserves in the future. As for the rest, the Fifth Prince knew very well that he would not give it to her, and he couldn't convince himself to give it to her!
"Master, now that things have come to this, let's talk it out this time," Fifth Lady decided not to hide her feelings. She and he were together for life, and there would not be the so-called divorce as described in the stories. After all, their family did not have the strength, and she herself did not have the tenacity and mind!
"Okay," the Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not against it. If he could talk it over, there was hope. "Whatever you want to ask or say, you can. I'm here."
"Master doesn't like me because of my family background? If my family background is not what it is now, will Master like me after we get married?" The Fifth Lady clenched her hands slightly. The nervousness she had just felt faded away, but now she was very nervous again.
"I felt unfair about your family background at the beginning. It was my fault. After the wedding, you and I got along well, and I felt unfair and you felt inferior. But at that time, Liu Jia's appearance, talent, and ability to please me were very much in line with my preferences. The rift between you and me was caused by your low family background, but it was not because of your low family background that I am loyal," the Fifth Prince thought for a moment and told him everything he was thinking. Since they wanted to have a good talk, he might as well talk without hiding anything.
The Fifth Lady felt very aggrieved, and her voice was no longer as peaceful as before, "Is it Liu Jiashi? Master still thinks Liu Jiashi is right? You only have Liu Jiashi in your heart? Liu Jiashi is dead, so you and I will only respect each other like guests?"
"Liu Jia had to die. I was very sad at first, but I indulged her and ignored you. The key to the chaos in the backyard was that I favored my concubine and killed my wife. Liu Jia made a mistake and was executed. That was her ending. I had her in my heart and didn't want to deceive you, but Liu Jia is gone. The past is the past. I'm not afraid to tell you that she was just a woman. There will be another one if I'm gone, but you are my only wife!" The Fifth Prince had long passed the time of grieving over Liu Jia's death. Even without Liu Jia, he still had many concubines in the backyard.
"It's not because of her?" The Fifth Lady suddenly thought of Hongsheng, "Is it Hongsheng?"
"Yes, that's my eldest brother. I never thought you would be so calculating. I know he hates you. Leaving him here is unfair to everyone in the backyard, and even future generations will be in fear. I understand, but I can't get over it. He's my eldest brother. You and I can treat each other with respect. I will give you the dignity you want and stay in your courtyard half of the month. But as for my true feelings..." The Fifth Prince looked at the Fifth Lady's face. His eyes had adapted to the darkness, and they could see each other's expressions. "I can't like you."
The Fifth Lady had actually guessed it. She closed her eyes slightly and smiled faintly, "But I don't regret it. One life for another. Liu Jia was guilty. Although Hongsheng was young, he was not a good person. He was filial to the master, but everyone in the backyard was dispensable in his eyes. Just based on this point, Hongsheng's death was not unjust!"
"If Hongsheng was your son, and he did those things, causing the concubine in the backyard to have a miscarriage, or even more, would you let him die?" The Fifth Prince was not angry, but just looked at the Fifth Lady calmly and asked, "Would you, Ruoxiang?"
Wu Fujin's lips trembled slightly, and she calmed down her indignation, "No!" She knew what Wu Ye meant, but...
"Is it impossible for us to be together forever?" The Fifth Lady wanted to completely give up her feelings for the Fifth Prince, but she couldn't let go just because she knew it in her heart. Her mind told her that she had let it go, but her emotions had not!
Because as the old saying goes, without love, where would the hate come from, and where would such determination come from!
Since she is the concubine, if she really doesn't want to regain her sanity, she will not let Liu Jia die, because the dead are difficult to defeat!
He would not plot against Hongsheng, after all, he is the eldest son of the Fifth Prince!
Many times, you should consider the living, not the dead!
For example, Hongsheng didn't say anything before he died, but he had already taken revenge on the Fifth Lady, and the Fifth Lady didn't know anything!
"I know you're suffering, but Ruoxiang, have you ever really thought about me? Less than half a month after the wedding, I came to the main courtyard to rest after a tiring day. You told me that I should go to another courtyard, but I said no. How did you refute me at that time?" The Fifth Prince looked at his wife, "I didn't like you because of your low family background, it was my fault. Later, I favored my concubine and ignored my wife, it was my fault. But Ruoxiang, are you really not wrong in all this?"
Ruo Xiang never thought that she was wrong and that it was all his fault as the Fifth Prince. He admitted that he was wrong, but was everything really his fault?
"Later, I promised to stay in the main courtyard for ten days a month, and the rest of the time I would go to whoever's courtyard I thought of. Ruoxiang, what did you do? Did you help me decide where to go?"
"I told you to pay attention to the backyard and let them drink contraceptive soup after each of their sleep with you. What did you do? You said no, they were all my children? But you still let them drink it behind my back? I admit it, I said it myself!" The Fifth Prince felt wronged, "But later Liu Jia schemed to have Hongsheng, and also schemed against other people and even Ruoxiang. I asked you to investigate thoroughly, why didn't I believe what you said at that time?"
"Ruoxiang, my master asked me to produce evidence, but you only let me trust who in the backyard with your eloquence? What you said is true? Then why are what others said not true? Everything depends on evidence. My master gave you the power to investigate." The Fifth Prince really asked the Fifth Lady to investigate thoroughly that time, but the Fifth Lady was completely furious at that time, thinking that the Fifth Prince only believed Liu Jia and not her. She was extremely sad and had no intention of investigating at all!
"Do you know what Liu Jia did? She admitted to me that she did it, and even took the punishment for the bad things she did during her pregnancy, prayed for you, and even wanted to confine herself forever after giving birth to Hongsheng." The Fifth Prince knew that it might just be a retreat to advance. After all, this trick was used a lot in the court. The Fifth Prince who could gain a foothold in the court was not a fool. "I don't want my family to be the same as the court. I know that Liu Jia did this to retreat to advance, but Ruoxiang, you want me to beg you!"
