The salty fish lady just wants to get over the wall

Chapter 172 Chapter 172: Xiao Jinran's loss and regret

"Isn't Concubine Wen always in the palace?"

Eunuch Fang was puzzled why the emperor suddenly asked Concubine Wen.

Xiao Jinran frowned, both he and Wen Nianruan were poisoned by the love potion, how did Wen Nianruan get rid of it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin got up and walked out of the hall.

"Hey, where are you going, Your Majesty? It's not yet dawn." Eunuch Fang hurriedly followed from behind.

"."

Not long after Wen Nianruan fell asleep, she felt that the door of the palace was pushed open. She opened her eyes in a daze, but she didn't see the figure at the door clearly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who?"

"What happened to your throat?"

Hearing this person's voice, Wen Nianruan's mind instantly sobered up, and Xiao Jinran really found him.

"It was windy and cold last night."

Wen Nianruan's voice was flat, without any guilt.

She sat up and wrapped the quilt around her body, covering her body tightly, only her head was exposed. There were traces of love on her body, so Xiao Jinran definitely couldn't find it.

Xiao Jinran didn't doubt her words, and said in a deep voice, "What happened last night?"

She replied, "We all took the love potion last night."

"I didn't ask this, I wanted to ask how did I get to the lake in the back mountain last night?" Xiao Jinran's deep eyes focused on Wen Nianruan, paying attention to every expression change on her face.

Wen Nianruan's heart trembled, his face was still calm, and he pretended to be surprised: "You asked me? How do I know? Last night we were all drugged, and you molested me, but I didn't follow, and you walked away angrily. , I don’t know where to go.”

She made it up, she just made it up.

"Indecent?" Xiao Jinran's eyes were calm, and he was very displeased with Wen Nianruan's use of this word, "You are my concubine, why should I say indecent?"

The other concubines in the harem wanted to cling to him every day, and only this woman, Wen Nianruan, avoided him like a snake.

He looked at Wen Nianruan suspiciously: "You said that I left Fuhua Palace last night?"

"Yes," Wen Nianruan nodded seriously.

"Did I walk away by myself?" Xiao Jinran still couldn't believe it.

Wen Nianruan raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, crawl away?"

"."

He shouldn't have said more.

Xiao Jinran didn't have much memory of what happened last night, and his memory after taking the love potion last night was also intermittent. He only remembered that he hugged Wen Nianruan to the bedroom at that time, and he had no memory of it afterward.

Could it be that he walked out of Fuhua Palace and went to the back mountain lake by himself?
Xiao Jin burned his eyes hard: "How did you cure the love potion?"

"Soak in cold water."

Wen Nianruan knocked his eyes, so sleepy that he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Because of soaking in cold water last night, you got a cold?
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Jinran no longer doubted Wen Nianruan, and dispelled his doubts in his heart.

He asked, "What happened to the love potion last night?"

Wen Nianruan shook his head: "I'll check tomorrow." He raised his heavy eyelids and glanced at Xiao Jinran: "This must be something done by the people in my palace. Don't worry about it, just leave the matter to me."

She already knew in her heart who did it.

She didn't want Xiao Jinran to intervene, because this way you can punish that person well.

Since he is a member of Fuhua Palace, Xiao Jinran doesn't care so much anymore, he has nothing to do and is ready to leave after solving the doubts in his heart.

Seeing Wen Nianruan's drowsy appearance, he couldn't bear to disturb her anymore, thinking of the cold on her body, he asked, "Do you need me to call the imperial physician over to have a look?"

Wen Nianruan instantly opened his eyes: "I've already read it, don't bother anymore." He closed his eyes and urged impatiently: "You go back quickly, I'm going to sleep, I'm almost sleepy."

Xiao Jinran pursed his lips and looked at her more, then left without saying a word.

He felt a little lost and regretful, why what happened last night was not done.
The next day, early in the morning.

Mrs. Lin got up early, just to go to Li Huachun to solve Meng Yinger's matter.

When Meng Yinger got up and finished dressing, Lin couldn't wait to drag her to the lobby of the Hou Mansion.

Meng Yinger wore the clothes of the servant girl in the house, she did not have the noble air of a young lady, but her pale face was a little more delicate and pitiful.

Although her beauty is not high-class, she is also much better-looking than ordinary maids.

At this time, Li Huachun and Wen Decheng were already sitting in the lobby, and even Mrs. Wen was there.

Wen Decheng sat aside, not daring to make a sound, bowing his waist and looking cowardly.

What happened yesterday was originally his fault, so there is nothing to say.

Mrs. Wen also had to act according to Li Huachun's face. After all, the entire Houfu had to rely on Li Huachun's natal family. Although she had the highest seniority in the Houfu, she had no right to speak in front of Li Huachun.

All the power in the family is in the hands of Li Huachun.

Walking to the entrance of the lobby, Meng Yinger held Lin's hand timidly, and hesitated to enter.

"What are you afraid of? With your mother here, you can still let them bully you."

Lin gave Meng Yinger a light look, and dragged her into the lobby.

Seeing the mother and daughter walking in, Li Huachun put down the teacup in his hand, with a gloomy expression that couldn't hide his disgust.

Without waiting for them to speak, Lin directly pulled Meng Yinger to sit down without any timidity.

Lin took the initiative and snorted coldly: "My daughter was robbed of her innocence by Lord Hou. One night has passed. Has Mrs. Hou thought about how to compensate us?"

Li Huachun sneered: "What do you mean by being robbed of your innocence by Lord Hou? Why don't you say that Meng Yinger seduced Lord Hou?"

"Seduce? Heh!" Lin crossed her legs, flicked the hem of her clothes, and put on a posture: "Obviously it was Master Hou who forced Yinger, Madam Hou, please don't turn black and white!"

Turning to look at Meng Ying'er, Lin raised her chin: "Meng'er, tell Mrs. Hou what happened at the beginning, don't let people look down on us and think that we are the kind of sluts who don't obey women's morals Bitch."

"I..." Meng Yinger lowered her eyes timidly.

After all, she was young and had never experienced strong winds and waves. Faced with Li Huachun's knife-like eyes, Meng Yinger panicked instantly.

Lin comforted: "Ying'er, don't be afraid, tell me what Master Hou forced you to do, and your mother will decide with you, and no one will dare to do anything to you."

With Lin's words, Meng Ying'er was not so scared, and said with a trembling voice: "Yesterday, Master Hou drank too much. When I passed by, he grabbed me and refused to let me go. He insisted on letting me give birth to him." Son, I couldn't break free, so I was taken by Lord Hou."

"Wind City!" Li Huachun slapped the table suddenly, the tea splashed out, his eyes were scarlet with anger: "How dare you let other women have sons behind my back!"

When mentioning his son, Li Huachun felt pain in his heart.

The son she was most proud of, Wen Yunchuan, was abolished. He was the legitimate son of the family. Now there is only one male left in the family, Wen Tingzhou, and her body can no longer bear children.

At the beginning, she was afraid that Wen Tingzhou would go outside to find other wild women to have a son, so she came up with the idea of ​​adopting Wen Tingzhou's name. Anyway, Wen Tingzhou's aunt had died long ago, so there was no threat to her.
