It was already the usual bedtime, but Jia Su was still sitting on the chair, leisurely eating tea and pastries.

Cui Yan looked at Chi Xia blankly, "Sister Chi Xia, why isn't Miss going to sleep yet?"

Chi Xia shook her head, "I don't know either."

However, Miss would never let unimportant things disturb her sleep. If she wasn't going to sleep now, it must mean that something important was going to happen later.

Sure enough, after about an hour, the messenger girl ran in, "Third Miss, Concubine Hu sent someone to invite you over. She said she missed you."

Jia Su stood up and patted the residue off her hands, "Let's go."

Concubine Hu was a beauty who was over thirty years old, but maintained herself like a young lady in her early twenties. It couldn't be said that she was still charming, because this was the most attractive time of her life.

She was mature and seductive, but also had a coldness that could see through the world, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off her.

If she was in modern times, with her age and appearance, she would definitely attract a lot of wild bees and rotten butterflies.

However, in ancient times, Concubine Hu had never slept with a Jia Daishan since she was twenty-five years old.

This was because in the eyes of the ancient people, Concubine Hu was already old and had passed the best age to have children.

"Concubine." Jia Su walked to Concubine Hu's side and sat down.

Chi Xia stood next to them. She was surprised to find that not only did the mother and daughter look alike, but even their temperaments were shockingly similar.

Concubine Hu glanced at Jia Su and turned the string of beads in her hand, "Your father came to see me this afternoon."

Jia Su nodded, "I guessed it."

"You also know why he came to see me?" Concubine Hu looked at Jia Su with a complicated expression.

Jia Su didn't notice, or perhaps she did notice but didn't care, "Because they finally found out that their daughter has other uses other than marriage.

But at the same time, they also found out that I have no feelings for Rongguo Province and am unwilling to work for Rongguo Province. "

Therefore, Concubine Hu became Duke Rongguo's target.

After all, in Jia Min's memory, after Jia Su gained a firm foothold in Dingnan Houfu, he quickly took Concubine Hu away from Rongguo Province.

This meant that she at least cared about Concubine Hu.

Jia Su was indeed concerned.

Jia Su didn't have a good impression of Rongguo Province, whether he was a bystander when he watched A Dream of the Red Chamber or a person who experienced it personally after transmigrating into A Dream of the Red Chamber.

As the former, it was because she didn't like the attitude of the people in Rongguo Province. As the latter, it was because the original owner's identity was hostile to the head wife of the Rongguo Province, so she was restricted everywhere and didn't live as freely as she wanted.

Even if she liked to stay at home, there was a big difference between being forced to stay at home and being willing to stay at home.

But because of Concubine Hu, she never thought of using some special method to leave Rongguo Province early. Instead, she wanted to openly take Concubine Hu out to enjoy life, which could also be considered as repaying the original owner.

If Concubine Hu really supported Rongguo Province, even if she didn't want to, she would still help them.

Concubine Hu giggled, her eyes full of joy: "My son really has the ability to make that old man Jia Daishan think highly of you."

Jia Su's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. The original owner's biological mother's mental state wasn't quite right.

"Jia Su, if you still want to recognize me as your concubine, then firmly remember my words in the bottom of your heart." Her eyes flashed with a trace of madness: "Even if that old man uses me to threaten you, you can't help Rongguo Province. If you disobey, then I'll immediately die in front of you!"

Chi Xia and Cui Yan both shivered at the same time. They looked at each other, their eyes full of distress and worry for Jia Su.

However, Jia Su had seen many crazy people in her previous life, so she didn't show the slightest bit of discomfort: "I'll follow mother's instructions."

As soon as the word 'mother' came out, Jia Su sensitively felt Concubine Hu's whole body tremble.

She sighed, thought for a moment, and asked: "Can this daughter know why mother is so … hostile to Rongguo Province?"

Concubine Hu's face was full of resistance: "You don't have to …"

"If one day father uses this as an excuse to fabricate facts to deceive me, then what should I do?" Jia Su asked softly.

Jia Min was born with a name, but the three concubine-born daughters' names were given to them on the eve of their eldest sister's engagement.

Jia Su even suspected that if Jia Min hadn't been named after Jia Xie's brothers, the other concubine-born daughters would probably only have a pet name until they got married.

Moreover, since the original owner was born, the number of times she had seen Jia Daishan could be counted with one hand. Did she expect Jia Daishan to have feelings for a daughter that he had never cared about?

If he really had to use her, who could guarantee that Jia Daishan wouldn't do this?

Concubine Hu's face was full of confusion. After a long time, she finally thought it through and said: "I'll tell you."

"You originally had a younger brother." As soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Hu dropped a bomb.

"I was originally the concubine of that old ignorant man Jia Daishan's colleague. But because I danced at the banquet, that old ignorant man took a few more glances at me, so I was given to him by my original master."

This was the first level of hatred.

Even if she was a concubine that could be bought and sold, Concubine Hu didn't want to be "one woman serving two husbands", which would be criticized by others.

"At first, I didn't want to be his concubine, but Jia Shi couldn't bear to see the old ignorant man thinking about me every day, so she ordered people to drug me. The old ignorant man saw that something was wrong, but he didn't care and still had sex with me."

This was the second level of hatred.

"I was stupid at that time. I only remembered to hate Jia Shi. Every day, I made trouble. Because Jia Shi targeted me, I still gave birth to you. I became more and more arrogant. I almost stepped on Jia Shi's face under my feet with the old ignorant man's power. After three or four years, the old ignorant man finally got tired and grounded me.

I didn't expect that when I was grounded, I found out that I was pregnant again. But it was too late. The people that Jia Shi placed around me intercepted the news I sent out and secretly murdered my child. "

This was the third level of hatred that almost defeated her.

Concubine Hu sneered: "I'm afraid that the old ignorant man still doesn't know how many of his sons died in the hands of his virtuous wife."

Jia Su frowned and said calmly: "Mother, do you hate Jia Shi?

Do you need your daughter to avenge you? "

"In the beginning, I naturally hated Lady Jia Shi, but …" Concubine Hu turned her head and looked at Jia Shu with a smile that was not a smile. "Seeing that I gave birth to you after carrying you for ten months, concubine mother will take this opportunity to advise you. Don't place your true heart on a man. The conflicts and disputes in the inner court all start from men."

Did she hate Jia Shi?

Of course, she hated her!

But she hated Jia Daishan even more!

After all these years, she had already thought it through. As a concubine, she naturally stood on the opposite side of Jia Shi. Jia Shi did anything to her as a matter of course.

What's more, with her arrogant attitude at that time, she couldn't guarantee that if she gave birth to her son, she wouldn't completely confront Jia Shi for her son.

She hated Jia Shi, but she could understand Jia Shi.

But she couldn't forgive Jia Daishan who brought her to Rongguo Province and couldn't even protect his own son.

Jia Su calmly lowered her head: "Your daughter will remember."

Concubine Hu's lips wriggled as if she had something to say. But in the end, she only spat out one sentence: "If there's nothing else, leave my courtyard. I should rest."

Jia Su got the information she wanted to know and left without hesitation.

But when she reached the door, she stood still and said seriously: "Mother, wait for me to take you out of Rongguo Province."

After that, she left Concubine Hu's courtyard without looking back.

Until Jia Su couldn't be seen, Concubine Hu looked down at the string of beads in her hand. She hesitated for a while, but in the end, she didn't crush the fake beads that hid the poison and medicine.

Back in the house, Cui Yan couldn't wait to ask: "Miss, why did Concubine Hu …"

Jia Su turned back with a complicated look: "She just didn't know how to express it."

Concubine Hu's hatred for Rongguo Province was real. But if she really didn't care about the original owner of the body, she could turn Rongguo Province upside down with that hatred.

After all, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have nothing to lose.

She chose to live in seclusion and stay away from the original owner of the body because she wanted the original owner to marry into a good family when she grew up.

It was hard for Jia Shu to imagine what kind of crazy things Concubine Hu would do after she learned of her daughter's death and lost her last worry.

"But Miss, Concubine Hu actually advised you not to give your heart to the future son-in-law …"

Chi Xia was anxious. How could she do that?

If Miss really did that, how could she be a loving couple with the future son-in-law?

Jia Su said faintly: "I never planned to give my heart to a man." Now, she was just more determined to do so.

The person she was going to marry in the future was Lin Ruhai.

The Lin family didn't have many children, so Jia Min only gave birth to Daiyu and a son when she was in her thirties. Later on, they didn't have any children. In her previous life, it wasn't like she didn't find someone to take care of her physical needs. After so many years, there were always times when she didn't take proper protective measures.

Jia Su didn't think she could get pregnant and have children so early.

In the original work, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were a loving couple. Because they didn't have children, they also took in several concubines. If she couldn't get pregnant early, she believed that Lin Ruhai would have done the same.

She couldn't understand the ancient people's obsession with having children.

But Jia Su was able to recognize reality, so she didn't plan on falling in love with Lin Ruhai.

That way, when Lin Ruhai took in concubines in the future because he didn't have children, she wouldn't lose control and divorce him or give him a kick out of anger that could be considered courting death.
