Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 505: Noble Lady Zhou

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

Wang Xifeng looked at her helplessly.

This life is completely different from the previous one, but it is still difficult for Lin Daiyu to change her crying habit.

After thinking for a while, she whispered again: "With the emperor's favor towards your father, your mother will not be questioned before your father returns to the capital.

"When the storm calms down a bit, I will find a way to give you a chance to meet your mother.

“It’s just that you’ve heard that the county lady is ill now. Although the root of the illness was planted many years ago, it was also caused by the quarrel in the palace.

"He Ke is not the type to take care of others. I'm afraid you still need to pay attention to the matters in front of the county lady.

"Let's not think about who to blame or who to blame, and what's the most important thing is to take good care of the county lady's health, right?"

Lin Daiyu nodded repeatedly, wiped her tears, and said softly: "I am afraid that I am young and weak, and I can't do some things well.

"Would your Majesty send me an older and more capable sister?"

Wang Xifeng immediately said, "Ru'er is under house arrest. Go and call her out and let her listen to your instructions."

Lin Daiyu cheered up and walked away gracefully.

Wang Xifeng looked at her back, somewhat absent-minded.

She was still as smart and alert as in her previous life, and when she was willing to be considerate, she was the most thoughtful and meticulous...

"Mother, why do you want Sister Lin to look after Lady Zhai? She is too young, how can she know how to take care of someone?"

He Ke, who had been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, slipped in, wrapped himself in Wang Xifeng's arms, and asked curiously.

Wang Xifeng hugged her with a smile, pinched the little girl's arms and legs without any hesitation, and whispered a few words in her ear.

He Ke opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Mother, isn't this what the storybook says: randomly matching couples?!"

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with her hand, glared at her, but could not help laughing, and lightly rebuked her: "You are asking again, and after listening, you want to criticize again, otherwise you tell me, what should we do about this matter!?

"Could it be that your brother's husband and your study partner were dragged down to hell by the evil ghosts of that family?"

He Ke laughed and buried his face in Wang Xifeng's arms.

Wang Xifeng hugged her and smiled, rocking her gently, and patting her shoulders and back unconsciously.

However, after a long time, He Ke still kept his head down, hugged Wang Xifeng tightly, and said nothing.

Wang Xifeng sensed something was wrong and instead of pushing the child away, she gently tightened her arms around her and spoke softly:

"My dearest sweetheart, what's wrong with you? You've always been very tactful when you act like a spoiled child, why are you being naughty today?"

"Mother..." He Ke's voice finally came out, but it was in a crying tone.

Wang Xifeng also noticed it at this moment. The place where He Ke's face was covered was gradually becoming warm and wet.

My heart skipped a beat and my whole body trembled. I hurriedly picked up the child's face and looked over sharply. Sure enough, I saw a face full of tears.

The girl, who was already eleven years old, had gradually lost her childishness, and her rosy cheeks and almond eyes indicated that she would become a charming and beautiful lady in the future.

But at this moment, in these eyes, in addition to the grayness and pain, one can actually see fear and a hint of despair!

In all the years that He Ke and she had lived under the same roof, this was the first time she had seen the child look like this.

Wang Xifeng felt a surge of anger coming out of nowhere. Her hands began to tremble slightly and her voice became shrill:

"What's going on? Who else bullied you? Tell me! Whoever dares to bully my daughter, I will cut him into pieces!"

He Ke couldn't hold back any longer, he choked with sobs, lowered his head and began to cry.

Wang Xifeng hugged the child tightly and shouted, "Where is the one with the princess? Where is Madam Ji!"

"Mother!" He Ke hurriedly stopped her and cried, "Others don't know, don't ask them!"

Wang Xifeng suppressed her anger, managed to calm herself, and held her face distressedly: "Then tell your mother yourself, what happened?"

He Ke bit his lip and left her arms, but his hands still subconsciously grasped her sleeves tightly, and whispered:

"A few days ago, on my way back from paying respects to the Queen, I ran into Concubine Zhou..."

week?

Wang Xifeng frowned!

This is the cousin of Li Shuren's uncle. In order to appease the Li family and because He Ke was still young, the Li family deliberately picked this person.

Who would have thought that after entering the Eastern Palace, before he could even say a word to He Ke in private, he was "beaten" by Mo Huaiyin and fell into a coma for three years...

I thought he was a timid and quiet person...

Wang Xifeng narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Oh! What? Am I talking to you about kinship?"

"Yeah. She said she was my aunt..." He Ke bit his lip again, his eyes reddened, "She also asked me -

"Are you afraid that my father will remember my origins, so you instigated my mother to suppress her, hoping that she will never see my father again..."

"She just wants the emperor's favor?" Wang Xifeng laughed again.

He Ke shook his head with tears in his eyes: "I asked her what she wanted, fame, wealth, favor, or something else.

"She said she wanted me."

"Bullshit!" Wang Xifeng blurted out a vulgar word, her eyebrows raised in anger, "I have spent all my efforts to raise my daughter, who does she think she is? How dare she snatch it from me!"

He Ke couldn't help but smile when he heard this curse: "Mother!"

Wang Xifeng snorted angrily, turned her wrist, and tightly grasped her daughter's hand. She glanced at He Ke with a nervous look on her face:

"How did you answer her?"

"I said she was daydreaming." He Ke pinched his fingers in embarrassment and lowered his head, "I said I am the most vain, now I have a mother of the imperial concubine, who is ten thousand times better than her.

"I'll tell her to become a royal concubine someday, and then she can talk to me about relatives, cousins, and aunts...

"Besides, without my mother's care, let alone being given the title of noble, she might not even be able to keep her life...

"She actually has the nerve to snatch my daughter from my mother at this time... I, I scolded her, saying that she was ugly but had wishful thinking..."

Seeing the little girl in front of her so embarrassed that she almost buried her face in her arms again, Wang Xifeng chuckled.

He Ke felt even more embarrassed, and hugged Wang Xifeng's waist tightly, humming softly:

"Mother!"

Wang Xifeng quickly stopped laughing and said, "Well said! Every word is exactly what I wanted to say!"

Then he gently stroked her shoulders and said, "Good girl, you shouldn't say that about yourself...

"This kind of dog that wants to bite people, if it can't get what it wants, might resort to some shameful means.

"What if she takes advantage of some opportunity to go out and ruin your reputation? Wouldn't that be unfair to you?

"Okay, don't worry about it.

"I'll go find her tomorrow when I'm free."

Wang Xifeng looked at He Ke tenderly and smiled.

He Ke looked at her smile and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
