Extraordinary Zhao Ruyu 6
Because the relationship between Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Ruxi was not good, Zhao Ruyu becoming Princess Jingping's concubine would affect Zhao Ruxi's marriage, which had not yet been engaged. Therefore, Princess Jingping was always unsure whether Zhao Ruxi hated Zhao Ruyu in her heart.
When she straightened Zhao Ruyu up, not only did she fail to please the Crown Princess, but she also made her angry. Wasn't that a joke?
But Zhao Ruyu was Zhao Ruxi's cousin in name. To marry a real wife and put pressure on her would not only humiliate Zhao Ruyu, but also Zhao Ruxi. Princess Jingping never dared to take action and dragged the matter out.
Now she feels very regretful.
King Jingping knew his wife's concerns. Not only his wife, he also had these concerns, so he was unable to make a decision.
He comforted his wife and said: "Stop what you said just now. Think of the good news. We didn't get a good deal, but we didn't offend the Crown Princess anyway, right? Be careful and sail the ship for thousands of years. It's better to do this now than to offend the Crown Princess."
"
These words comforted Princess Jingping.
She said: "You're right, that's all I can think about."
Having made up her mind, Princess Jingping showed an excellent attitude when He Yuqi and Xu Xue came the next day.
After she found out that the Zhao family really wanted Zhao Ruyu to leave the Jingping Palace, she not only asked her maid and mother-in-law to help Zhao Ruyu pack up her clothes and jewelry, but also gave Zhao Ruyu a thousand taels of silver.
"What a good girl. You have been wronged when you came to our house. These silver coins can't make up for anything. At least it is a little bit of my heart. Take it and don't refuse it." Her attitude was very sincere.
Zhao Ruyu shook his head: "No need. I am no longer the concubine of the palace, and I deserve this money. I have hands and feet, and I can always support myself in the future. So thank you for your kindness."
If she had assets of her own, she wouldn't even want the clothes made after entering Prince Jingping's palace or the jewelry Xiao Sijie gave her.
It's just that she has nothing. Now that she has the guts to not want the things from Prince Jingping's palace, in the end she will have to ask her brother and sister-in-law to buy them for her. She won't argue with this anger.
He Yuqi nodded in agreement: "Ruyu is right. Princess, you should take the money back."
Princess Jingping handled today's matter based on the principle that even if she couldn't make good friends, she couldn't offend him. Seeing that Zhao Ruyu insisted not to do it, she didn't force it.
When Zhao Ruyu proposed to take away the two maids and the mother-in-law, she naturally agreed readily.
"You don't have to give me the money for selling yourself. That's the person who will serve you. Just take it with you." After saying that, Princess Jingping motioned to the maid to get the deed of selling herself and handed it to Zhao Ruyu.
Zhao Ruyu stopped refusing, took the deed of betrayal, and stood up to say goodbye.
After they came out of the hall, before they reached the second door, the maid whispered in Zhao Ruyu's ear: "Girl, the prince is over there."
Xiao Sijie is a passionate person. And he has always liked Zhao Ruyu's beauty, so he is naturally reluctant to let her go. Even if Zhao Ruyu said some heartless words yesterday, he was so angry that he still wouldn't let her go.
If it weren't for the strict orders of the prince and princess, he would definitely not be so quiet today.
Seeing that Zhao Ruyu was really about to leave now, he ignored his parents' warning and ran out to intercept Zhao Ruyu halfway.
After hearing what the maid said, Zhao Ruyu followed He Yuqi straight out without raising her head.
Xiao Sijie wanted to rush over, but was stopped by his mother-in-law a long time ago. He could only shout in this direction: "Ruyu, don't leave. Have you forgotten our love and the eternal oath we made together?"
He Yuqi glanced at Zhao Ruyu and saw that she turned a deaf ear, had no expression on her face, walked quickly, and looked like she was trying to avoid him. He Yuqi nodded with satisfaction.
As the group walked out of the second gate, Xiao Sijie's voice was left behind and gradually became inaudible. Zhao Ruyu's pace did not slow down at all. It was not until she walked out of the gate and got on the carriage that she breathed a sigh of relief.
People relax.
"Sister-in-law, have you rented a house for me? Where is it?" Zhao Ruyu didn't realize it herself. Compared with when she was at Prince Jingping's Mansion, her tone of voice was a little lighter now.
In her previous letter, she begged Zhao Jingli to rent a house for her.
As a daughter who had become a concubine and was divorced, returning to her natal family would definitely affect her natal family's reputation. So she made up her mind to rent a house for a few days after leaving the Jingping Palace, and wait for Gusu to receive Zhao Ruxi's letter.
, everything was arranged, and she rented a carriage to go to Suzhou.
After Zhao Ruxi became the crown princess, the Jingping Palace was no longer harsh on Zhao Ruyu and gave her a monthly payment of money every month. Ever since she felt vague regrets, she tried her best to save the money, and now she has more than a hundred dollars on hand.
Two silver coins.
When she was favored, Xiao Sijie was also willing to make clothes and jewelry for her. She had some gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry, worth hundreds of taels of silver.
She felt that relying on these could support her to settle down in Suzhou.
She had already made plans to live in poverty.
"No rent, you can go home and live directly. Don't worry, you can't affect us. With the princess here, who dares to laugh at you and us?" He Yuqi said.
"From now on, you just have to live your life with a straight back. There is no need to feel that you have lowered your status just because you have been a concubine. We are all human beings, and no one is noble or inferior to anyone else. There is no need to feel inferior."
"Yes, Ru Yu. You have been studying since childhood, so writing articles is no problem. In the future, in addition to teaching people music, you can also write articles and submit articles to make money." Xu Xueyao.
"Before I got married, I supported myself by writing novels and bought my own house as a dowry. Many other sisters can support themselves by their own abilities. You are a talented person who can completely rely on your own abilities to live an upright life.
We live on earth. We don’t rely on others to support us, and we don’t eat other people’s food, so we don’t have to bow to others.”
"Xiaoxue is right. If you are willing, you can even write down your experiences and thoughts and submit them to the Women's Daily to encourage those sisters who have not yet had the courage to escape from the prison." He Yuqi also said.
"Yes, I will. Thank you." Zhao Ruyu said, her eyes getting wet.
She had imagined many situations after leaving the palace. She did not expect that her two sisters-in-law were so kind, treated her so kindly, understood her, and encouraged her.
"I regret not waking up earlier," she said.
She didn't cry when she left the house. But now, thanks to the kindness of her two sisters-in-law, she couldn't hold back her tears and fell down drop by drop.
"It's not too late now. There's absolutely no time." He Yuqi patted her arm, "You should be glad that you don't have children. Otherwise it will be difficult whether you leave or not."
When she said this, Zhao Ruyu also felt lucky.
"I will take you to see our newspaper office tomorrow." He Yuqi said, "We also have a newspaper office in Fucheng below. If you are interested, you can take care of the newspaper office in Suzhou for me in the future and actively submit articles to the newspaper office.
Our royalties are still very generous.”
"Really? That's great." Zhao Ruyu's heart was bright.
