Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Chapter 493 The beauty hidden in the golden house

Bei Jingchu held her half-wet hair and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Jiang Longshou strategically ignored the wound, stretched out his thumb and index finger and said stubbornly: "Just..."

The outstretched hand dropped down, and the lost foreign market returned.

No matter how stubborn he was, he still fainted.

People who are strong on weekdays are especially lovable when they are occasionally vulnerable.

The court doctor was busy and changed two basins of blood and water before he was out of danger.

Bei Jingchu's bedroom was occupied. She couldn't let a seriously injured patient make room for her, but she also didn't want to sleep in the ear room in shame.

Since the bed is big, we might as well sleep together.

She swore that this was really the reason and she definitely didn't want to touch his abdominal muscles!

Since Jiang Longshou was injured, the command of the imperial guards would have to fall on Lei Nian'er for the time being.

Bei Jingchu didn't want to publicize the fact that someone was injured because it would be troublesome to explain.

He then used the excuse of being in love, saying that he just wanted to be with Jiang Long all the time, and locked him up in the Jialan Courtyard, not allowing him to go out.

So all matters were handed over to Lei Nian'er.

Fortunately, she did a very good job. In the past when they were the closest and there was no one to share power, Lei Nian'er was the only one in charge of the East Palace Guards.

Although power is tempting, Lei Nian'er would rather take the same salary but do only half the work.

Because of the prince's behavior of valuing women over friendship, Lei Nian'er's frequency of returning to the Lei family decreased.

When I went back to visit my relatives again, I was stopped by someone.

It’s the fourth sister.

When the fourth lady saw her, she felt like she had seen her savior.

Rushed over quickly.

"Eldest sister, elder sister, please help me, help my aunt!"

Lei Nian'er did not agree rashly, but invited her into the house and told her what the matter was.

The fourth lady did not hide it and asked for help from others, and her attitude was very sincere.

"Eldest sister knows that my aunt is from Pingzhou. When my father returned from victory, he passed through Pingzhou and brought her back. She was born into an ordinary family, but she had a beautiful face."

Lei Nian'er nodded.

After all, there are only a few people with high social status who can be concubines.

Either they can't even afford to eat, or they are forced to do so.

But times have changed, the children have grown up, and there is no point in pursuing those things anymore.

There were indeed some who volunteered, such as Pan'er's aunt.

She was born into a slave family and she seduced Lei Ning to be her concubine.

But she had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and her daughter no longer had to be a slave from her generation onwards. Instead, she was promoted to the daughter of a general.

What is the humiliation of being a concubine? Can dignity prevent my child from becoming a slave?

We are people who are trampled upon by the world, so what's the point of talking about integrity and morality? We are destroying people's marriages.

The fourth lady continued, "My uncle's family is not a family that can be supported. The whole family has been farming for generations and cannot read a single word."

"Even if there is a concubine in the Lei family, she can only give them a little money as protection, and the family has no power or influence."

"Originally, I had a niece from a general's mansion, and ordinary gentry did not dare to bully them. The family lived a relatively peaceful life. After much anticipation, my cousin finally had the talent to study."

"The whole family supports her, and she is already a scholar before she even reaches the age of marriage."

Lei Nian'er didn't know this. She had many sisters, and it was good enough that she paid attention to each of them. She had no idea what their uncle's family was like.

Then the fourth lady became sad.

"But my cousin disappeared some time ago. She was a perfectly healthy person, but she suddenly disappeared. Although I received a letter from her to let her know she was safe, my aunt recognized that it was not written by my cousin herself."

"My grandparents had no choice but to send a letter to ask my aunt for help. My aunt went to ask my grandfather, and my grandfather sent people to investigate, but the result was that he was missing. What's the difference between investigating and not investigating? It's just that he didn't do his best."

"I know that my aunt and I don't mean enough to him to find someone worth his effort. My aunt is a woman in a deep house, she has no other abilities, and can only be sad alone. Apart from my father, I can only look for my eldest sister."

"My cousin and I are family after all, and she is the only hope of my grandparents. Among the several people in our family, only my eldest sister is capable, so I shamelessly came to ask her for help."

As she spoke, the fourth lady knelt down.

"Eldest sister, since my aunt sent you something when Lei Nan'er was targeting you, please help her this time!"

Yes, when the original wife targeted them and their daughter, the fourth sister's aunt secretly sent some things to help them.

Otherwise, the mother and daughter who were shortchanged might not have survived those five winter days.

Helping someone in need is so valuable. Even the care provided by the mother after she has been rehabilitated cannot compare to that.
