No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 251 Innocence + Mother and Son
While eating breakfast, Luo Junyao heard Xiying's report: "General Yu came back from outside early in the morning, his clothes were soaked, he looked listless and he didn't know where he went."

Luo Jun tilted his head to look at Xie Yan, Xie Yan said calmly, "Go see his wife."

Xie Yan had never met Mrs. Luo. When the late emperor was around, these matters were handled by the people around the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, he was always stationed at the border. These matters were handled by the manager of Jingyuan and the chief minister of the palace.

However, he once heard Yu Mingqiu talk about his wife, she seemed to be a woman who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

Therefore, Yao Yao's judgment was not wrong, if Yu Mingqiu returned home as soon as he came back, not only would Mrs. Luo not blame him, she would even feel pity and the joy of finding it again.

But Yu Mingqiu had obviously been back for several days, but he only returned home after being bumped into by Mrs. Luo, so it was unlikely that he would not be punished.

Xie Yan didn't have any idea about this, although he and Yu Mingqiu were friends and colleagues, but he was not interested in his friend's private affairs.

Luo Junyao only felt that iron cannot be made into steel, and shook his head repeatedly: "I told him that he can't do that, he deserves to be rejected."

Xie Yan looked at her and said, "Yao Yao plans to cooperate with Mrs. Yu?"

Luo Jun said: "I don't really understand these things. After all, Sister Luo has been running Qiluofang by herself for so many years, and she must know more about this business than us. She is also the wife of General Yu, so she is naturally more trustworthy than outsiders."

Of course, the most important thing is that she is a woman.

It's not that Luo Junyao favors women over men, but that in this world, men have far more opportunities than women, so she naturally hopes to support women as much as possible.

"If she reconciles with Ming Qiu..."

"They will definitely reconcile." Luo Junyao said naturally.

How could she not see that Mrs. Luo still loves her husband deeply?As long as Yu Mingqiu doesn't commit suicide himself, the two will reconcile sooner or later.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "If they reconcile, she will be Mrs. Xiaoyuanhou. Do you still have time to accompany you to do these things?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Aren't I the regent princess?" Although she, the regent princess, really didn't seem very busy.There are people taking care of all the big and small things in the house, she only needs to make some important decisions, and there is no mother to keep the Luo family busy.

Hearing this, Xie Yan smiled and nodded, "Yao Yao is right, I was thinking too much."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry too much, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. And I think sister Luo can come to me so quickly, she still has her own ideas, Madam Xiaoyuanhou Her status doesn't change her mind."

After breakfast, Xie Yan went out.

Luo Jun staggered to visit Yu Mingqiu. General Yu stood in the courtyard all night last night, and the dew soaked his clothes all over his body. Now he came back with a fever, obviously sick.

"Princess, don't tell Zhenniang about this." Yu Mingqiu lay on the bed, his face flushed because of the persistent heat.

Luo Jun curled his lips, "It's really strange that you were able to marry a daughter-in-law back then."

Yu Mingqiu smiled helplessly, Luo Jun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you'd better lie down and don't worry about these things. If you really let you do it yourself, Sister Luo will be so angry that she will divorce you sooner or later."

Coming out of Yu Mingqiu's yard, Luo Junyao propped his chin and thought for a while, how to tell Sister Luo that Yu Mingqiu was ill so that he didn't seem so deliberate?

It seems that there is no way to do it. After all, the Prince Regent's Mansion is so far away from Qiluofang, it's really hard to spread the word.

Luo Junyao sighed, forget it.

Luo Junyao went back to his study and wrote a letter, and summoned a guard to tell him to send the letter directly to Qiluofang.

"Report to the princess, Miss Su is here." Outside the door, the guards reported respectfully.

"Sister Su!" Luo Jun shook his eyes, "Please come in!" This is her future sister-in-law.

Not long after, Su Rui was invited into the flower hall.

"Sister Su!" Luo Junyao shouted happily.

Su Rui was taken aback for a moment, and felt that Luo Junyao looked very enthusiastic today, so she also smiled and said, "Yaoyao is in a good mood?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Of course I'm in a good mood. Didn't my elder brother come out smoothly? Sure enough, elder brother never needs anyone to worry about him."

Su Rui smiled and said, "Then I should congratulate Mr. Luo."

Except for a very few insiders in Shangyong, outsiders in Shangyong didn't even know about the fact that Luo Jinyan walked around in Wucheng Bingmasi.

Luo Jun shook his head, "I will take the words to elder brother for Sister Su."

Su Rui didn't care either, she was dragged by Luo Junyao to the side and sat down, before she said: "As long as Mr. Luo is fine, I should thank Mr. Luo first."

"Thank you for what?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.Could it be that Sister Su knows that Big Brother is doing it for her... It doesn't look like it.

Su Rui smiled and said: "Originally, Xiao Hong made an appointment to meet again tomorrow. I originally planned to perfunctory him. But yesterday evening, I received a message from him saying that he would postpone it for a few days, and he just gave me a few more days Well planned in time."

Luo Jun shook his lips and smiled and said, "Of course he won't be able to see you tomorrow." No proud man is willing to let his fiancée see him in a state of embarrassment, even if he doesn't like this fiancée.

Xiao Hong was beaten quite badly by Luo Jinyan, and he went to negotiate with Luo Jinyan when there was no one around in that embarrassing appearance, I'm afraid it was all the third young master Xiao could bear.

Let him go to see Su Rui with a colorful face, the third young master Xiao can't afford to lose that person.

Su Rui also found it funny, and of course she was a bit gloating.

Luo Junyao was very puzzled, "Sister Su, that woman who eloped with the third son of Xiao, how is she so beautiful?"

You must know that Miss Su's family is a beauty herself, and she is also the daughter of the Taifu's family.The popularity and reputation among Shangyonggui women are even better.Such a girl...that is, her age is not coincidental, otherwise it is possible to enter the palace and become a queen.

Just like that, the third son Xiao wants to elope?

Su Rui sighed softly, looked at Luo Junyao, a little hesitant to speak.

"Can't say?" Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "My mouth is very tight."

Su Rui shook her head and said: "It's not that you can't say it, it's just... This is also an extremely embarrassing thing in the Xiao family. The Xiao family is very strict, so outsiders don't know that the third son Xiao has escaped."

This time it's really not that the Xiao family was being unkind and wanted to bully the Su family. It was probably because the Xiao family really didn't know how to tell such a shameful thing to their future in-laws for a while, and just wanted to solve it secretly first.

"Ok?"

Su Rui said: "That woman... last year when I went with my elder brother and mother to celebrate Mrs. Xiao's birthday, I met her once. It was originally Uncle Xiao's concubine."

"Pfft! Cough cough..." Luo Junyao was choked and coughed repeatedly.

Small, small... Ma literature?so exciting? !
Su Rui quickly raised her hand to cheer her up, and said, "The woman should be about the same age as Xiao Hong, and her appearance... can be considered beautiful." But if it is said to be stunningly beautiful, it can't be considered.

Su Rui didn't know why Xiao Hong would elope for such a woman, and she wasn't interested either.

If Xiao Hong talked to her about breaking up the engagement with a good voice, she would never make things difficult.But Xiao Hong came up with such a low-level method. He has both fame and love, so she deserves to be unlucky?

Besides, even if she is really forced to agree, can the Xiao family really tolerate this matter?The woman probably won't survive anyway.

If she had been Xiao Hong, since she had the courage to elope, she would simply take that woman far away, and from now on she would hide her name and never appear in front of people again.

Luo Jun said nothing for a long while, Su Rui raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes a few times before she came back to her senses.

"Sister Su, what are you going to do?" Luo Junyao asked with concern, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Su Rui smiled and said: "Don't worry, this young master Xiao is quite talented and thoughtful. But if you talk about scheming, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Luo Jun shook his head in agreement, the third young master Xiao looked like a spoiled child of an aristocratic family.Although he is not a dandy who has accomplished nothing, he is also very naive.

Some scheming people in the city government can't do what he does.

He probably thinks that Su Rui is a weak woman in her boudoir after all, and if he gets hold of her, she can only let him rub her round and flatten her.But they don't know that sometimes the most unoffensive person in this world happens to be a woman.

"How does elder sister Su want to deal with him?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Su Rui pursed her lips and said, "I plan to promise him first."

"Ah?" Luo Junyao looked at her without speaking.

Su Rui squeezed her delicate and pretty face, and said with a smile, "He wants to blackmail me, isn't he? Let's see who has more chips."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Sister Su wants to take that woman hostage first? I'm afraid Xiao Hong won't agree." Third Young Master Xiao is just a little naive, not a fool.

Su Rui said: "He will soon forget about that girl."

Facing Shang Luo Junyao's gaze, Su Rui smiled and said: "After all, the Su family in Shangyong is considered the host. The Xiao family has not been in Shangyong for many years. He shouldn't think that he can come to me directly if he holds my handle in his hand." negotiation."

Luo Jun shook his chin and said: "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried... If he finds that he can't take the top spot, he might as well give up on that woman and deny her. Sister Su, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Hong abducted his father's concubine, and if he was found out, his future would be ruined at best, or he would be kicked out of Xiao's house.The Xiao family has not moved yet, obviously they still have hope in him.But if Su Rui's handle is released by Xiao Hong, although he doesn't know what it is, Luo Junyao knows that it must have a great impact on Sister Su's reputation, which makes her so cautious.

A man's reputation is as important as a woman's, but not in the same breath.

Su Rui smiled and said, "I know, so...I have to take something back from his hand first."

Luo Jun shook his spirits, "Do you need help?" Su Rui obviously didn't want to disturb the Su family, so someone must help.

Su Rui shook her head, "No, someone will help me."

Seeing Su Rui's confident appearance, Luo Junyao stopped asking.

It's just that Sister Su is too powerful. If she can solve everything by herself, her elder brother seems to be useless.

Luo Jun shook his head and quickly put this idea behind him: If elder brother can't even catch up with his wife, then he deserves to be single.

So, the two quickly changed the topic, and started discussing Luo Junyao's workshop plan.

On the other side of the imperial city, in the Proton Mansion next to Wucheng Bingmasi.

The Qizu Zhizi Mansion was as silent as usual, and Ji Rong sat under the tree drinking tea indifferently.The withered and yellow leaves were blown off the branches by the wind and fell on the table in front of him.

He didn't care, he picked up the dead leaves and put them on the ground.

Opposite Ji Rong, Bai Jingrong was wearing a dark golden cloak and sitting on the cushion, she rested her chin on one hand and rested her elbow on her left side, and looked at the handsome young man opposite with interest.

Ji Rong's brows were faintly impatient, and she raised her head to look at her.

Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly and said, "As expected of my son, he looks so good-looking. I heard...then why does my son have a place in Yong Fenghua Records."

Ji Rong put down the teacup and said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Bai Jingrong said indifferently: "The marriage between you and Miss Ruan's family has been settled, my son...wouldn't you do such a childish act of running away from marriage, and embarrass your mother?"

Ji Rong sneered, "I can't even get out of Shangyonghuang City, where can I escape?"

Bai Jingrong sighed and said, "I spent a lot of time and money marrying Miss Ruan's family for you. What are you dissatisfied with? Could it be that you really like that little girl from the Luo family so much? She belongs to Xie Yan." , if you let him know, he will kill you."

Ji Rong said coldly: "You said these things, don't push them on me."

Bai Jingrong said with a smile: "That means you don't like that little girl anymore, then...Arong, you still refuse to tell your mother why you deliberately approached that little girl when you first arrived in Shangyong?"

Ji Rong looked indifferent, obviously not intending to answer this question.

Bai Jingrong shook his head, "Forget it, mother taught you a truth. Don't try to use women's love to achieve your goals, of course... There are thousands of stupid women in this world who are willing to do everything for you. However, some You can't mess with a woman, and if you accidentally mess with one, you will be doomed. Even if you don't talk about Xie Yan, don't think about it...The lesson from the past is not far away."

Mr. Xuan Yu from the Mu An Palace is having a hard time today.

Ji Rongdao: "Mother thinks too much, I don't have such thoughts."

Bai Jingrong didn't take it seriously either, and said, "Forget it, the child always has his own thoughts when he grows up, and he won't tell his mother anymore. You actually said no, then no. I don't care what you think of Miss Ruan's family." Thoughts, this marriage... must come true!"

Ji Rong remained silent, and Bai Jingrong didn't care. He stood up slowly and was about to go outside.

Before she could turn around, she heard Ji Rong, who was still sitting upright and had no intention of getting up to see her off, said: "If you want to stay in Shangyong, you can delay the negotiation time, and you don't have to make such a fuss."

Bai Jingrong smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Your eldest brother and fourth brother are still waiting for me at home. If it wasn't for your marriage, mother would wish to leave today."

"So, what do you want to use my marriage for?" Ji Rong asked coldly, not being influenced by her at all.

Bai Jingrong didn't answer, leaned over and stretched out his hand to caress his handsome but pale face, and said in a loving tone: "It's a pity, my son is so smart, if you are not too weak to take the throne of the Qi clan, my mother would really be reluctant." And you."

Ji Rong raised his hand coldly and knocked off the hand that was resting on his face.

Bai Jingrong smiled, turned around and walked out without looking back.

Watching Bai Jingrong leave with the people, Ji Rong's expression remained indifferent.

After an unknown amount of time, a dead leaf quietly fell into the opposite teacup.

Ji Rong's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly said, "What does she want to do besides form an alliance with Dasheng when she comes to Shangyong?"

A man in gray clothes quietly appeared a few steps behind him, knelt on one knee and said, "Maybe it has something to do with Yu Chen."

"Oh?" Ji Rong looked back at the man in gray and whispered.

The man in gray said, "It's totally unreasonable for Madam to bring Yu Chen to Shangyong on purpose this time."

Yu Chen is indeed a rare master, but the troubles he encounters in bringing him to Shangyong will only be less than the actual use that a master can produce.What happened outside the city a few days ago has already illustrated this point.

There are definitely more than one or two people who want to kill Yu Chen.

Ji Rong lowered her eyes and thought, "I remember...the legend says that Yu Chen is the son of Baixu?"

The man in gray raised his head in surprise, "Your Highness wants to reveal this news?"

Ji Rong sneered and said, "Do you think that no one in Dasheng knows? If it wasn't for the regent of Dasheng who intended to let Yu Chen live, he would never have come back when he was outside the city that day."

The man in gray didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know what His Highness wanted to do.

The courtyard was quiet for a long while, before Ji Rong said calmly: "Send a letter to the eldest son of the Luo family, saying that I will invite him to drink tea."

"Yes, Your Highness." The man in gray replied respectfully, then stood up, turned around and quickly disappeared into the yard.

The small courtyard was quiet again, Ji Rong sat alone under the tree, and slowly reached out to pour some hot tea for herself.

"Mother, you always like to play around with people like pawns." Ji Rong said lightly, "But not everyone in this world is willing to let you play around with you. You lost because of it back then, and it's still the same now... .”
