I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 2 It's not suicide, it's sprain

"Princess, I'm really sorry, I really don't know that you are watching the stars from the roof, I thought you were overthinking it!"

Yunzhu knelt beside Lin Xingwei, clasped her hands together, and kept apologizing to Lin Xingwei.

Seeing her cute and silly appearance, Lin Xingwei couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked her forehead, and said with a smile: "If you really feel sorry for me, just go and explain it to my mother, and let her put me on the bed. The dog in front of the door is gone."

Those two dogs are Cangni dogs. After the death of Nanyang Hou, Mrs. Hou specially raised them to watch the house. They named them Mao Mao and Shi Shi respectively. Now they are half a person tall, majestic and mighty, and strangers generally dare not approach them easily. .

Two dogs stood guard at the door, and Lin Xingwei had to apply to the maidservant who was leading the dog if he wanted to go to the latrine, and they pulled the dog away before Lin Xingwei dared to go out.

Along the way, the two big gray dogs had to follow Lin Xingwei to the latrine, and come back after they were done.Prisoner-like treatment is enough for her for just one day.

Yunzhu said bitterly: "I went to explain to Mrs. Hou, but Mrs. Hou and Mrs. He didn't believe it. They thought it was the slave who excused the princess."

Lin Xingwei sat in front of the desk and yawned involuntarily.

The two dogs barked from time to time last night, and she really didn't sleep well.

Madam Hou was afraid that the servants would not look down on Lin Xingwei, so just to be on the safe side, she used two vicious gray dogs to keep an eye on her daughter.

It's not good for Yunzhu to ask Mrs. Hou to get rid of the dog again, so Lin Xingwei plans to go in person.

On the short road she went to Madam Hou's residence, the two gray dogs also followed behind.The two servant girls who were leading the dog were dragged by the dog and trotted along.

As soon as she entered Madam Hou's bedroom, Lin Xingwei knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "Mother, my daughter knows she's wrong, and she will be obedient in the future, and won't seek life or death again!"

Lin Xingwei raised three fingers to swear.

There were two other ladies sitting in Madam Hou's room, Lin Xingwei's second aunt Zhen and third aunt Pei.

Mrs. Hou's face was heavy and she didn't speak.

Mrs. Zhen saw Lin Xingwei's appearance, smiled lightly, and said: "It seems that Ran Ran is sincerely repentant, please don't be angry, eldest sister-in-law, Ran Ran still wants to go out to meet people, she can't be locked up forever, right?"

Lin Xingwei nodded vigorously, Third Aunt was right.

Mrs. Pei, the third aunt, also said: "Ran Ran repents, it's a good thing, the most important thing right now is how to deal with General Wei."

"General Wei was just hired, and Ran Ran fell ill. General Wei's adoptive mother, Mrs. Lu, has become suspicious. Yesterday, I saw the servants of Lu's mansion arresting our people at the gate of the Hou's mansion for interrogation. Fortunately, our maidservant His tone was strict, and he didn't say anything."

"No matter how strict the tone is, it will not be leak-proof. We still have to be careful."

"That's right." Mrs. Zhen said: "Huifeng is working in the prime minister's mansion, and someone has already asked about Ran Ran's affairs. He asked Huaifeng very straightforwardly if he thought about Princess Youning."

Mrs. Pei looked surprised, "How did the second uncle answer?"

"Huai Feng said that General Wei sent someone to hire someone, but Ran Ran was so excited that she sprained her foot accidentally." Mrs. Zhen said.

Lin Huaifeng, Lin Xingwei's second uncle, worked in the prime minister's mansion as Xicao, not a high-ranking official, and had some small powers in his hands.

Mrs. Pei offered advice, "That's a good idea, I'm going to have a full moon wine tomorrow, I'll take Ran Ran with me, let Ran Ran limp a few steps in front of people, everyone will believe it."

"How does this happen?" Mrs. Hou's eyes widened, she stared at Mrs. Zhen fiercely, and said: "The Lin family has always run the family with integrity. In order to avoid panic, they still have to walk around in front of others? If the truth is revealed, it will be the fault of the whole family. joke?"

Lin Xingwei shook her head when she heard that, her acting skills are not that good.She is a "newcomer" again, how can she pretend to be lame in front of others?

Mrs. Pei laughed softly, and said: "Eldest sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, second sister-in-law is also kind. In my opinion, there is no need to let Ran Ran walk in front of people. She sprained her foot and went to the banquet. It's a bit like 'there is no silver 300 taels here'. Since the second uncle released the news of Ran Ran's foot, let Ran Ran rest at home, after a long time, the rumors will dissipate."

Lin Xingwei nodded vigorously, she had better not go out.

Mrs. Pei looked at Lin Xingwei and said with a smile: "After this incident, Ran Ran seems to have become more stable. In the past, she couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour, but today she can sit here and listen to us women It's hard for her to talk about it now."

Mrs. Hou glared at Lin Xingwei, and said angrily: "You heard what your two aunts said, don't go out for a while, so you can live at home, and if you want to do things like death and life, then simply, no one will find out when you die. place! Why don’t you go down! What are you waiting for?”

Lin Xing pouted slightly, and was about to get up resentfully, when he suddenly heard the two gray dogs barking in the courtyard.

The ladies craned their necks to look out when they heard the barking dogs.

Not a moment later, a servant girl came in and reported: "Ma'am, Second Madam, Third Madam, the Xinan County Lord of Yingchuan Prince's Mansion came, and said that he and the Princess had met at the invitation banquet of the Taiwei Mansion, and heard that the Princess Wei I'm here to visit."

The news of "weeping feet" spread really fast.

"What is she here for?"

The three ladies looked at each other.

Mrs. Zhen thought about it for a moment, and said: "Our Lin family has no contact with Yingchuan Palace, and Ran Ran is not familiar with her. I heard that Yingchuan Wang Chen Rui has always been close to Wei Mingji. Could it be that he sent the county head to find out the news?"

Lin Xingwei's expression tightened inexplicably. Could it be that she really wanted her to pretend to be a lame person to fool the county lord of Xinan?

Madam Hou's expression was calm, she turned her head to an older servant girl behind her and said, "Yuzhu, take the princess to the backyard and wait in her room, and take the princess there when the princess is ready."

Madam Hou looked at Lin Xingwei with sharp eyes, and warned, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Remember, mother."

Perhaps because she is not familiar with her, Lin Xingwei always feels that Mrs. Hou's strictness makes people tremble.Why did such a strict Mrs. Hou teach an arrogant and willful Princess Youning?
Lin Xingwei couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Hou's maidservants surrounded Lin Xingwei back to her boudoir, and Mrs. He wrapped Lin Xingwei's soles and ankles with white silk in a serious manner.

At first glance, I thought it was seriously injured.

Even so, the strangle marks on Lin Xingwei's neck were still shining brightly, which could be seen at a glance.

Yun Zhu frantically covered it with a thick layer of powder, and found a Qu-collar jacket for Lin Xingwei to change into. The collar was pulled up a little, so it probably wouldn't be noticeable.

Yuzhu said coldly: "You don't have to do this. If you pull down the curtain, the Xinan County Lord can't see it. Now that the weather is still warm, wearing a song-collar jacket will make people suspicious."

After being reminded by Yuzhu, Yunzhu frantically removed Qu Lingru from Lin Xingwei's body and changed into normal clothes.

Mrs. He said gently: "There is nothing wrong with covering it with a curtain. It's just that the princess should not sit in the footsteps after a while, but sit with her legs flat, so that the county princess can see that the princess is covering her feet. The rumors outside It's gone too."

What did she say about sitting in a pan? She said one word?

Lin Xingwei didn't understand, she raised her head and looked at Aunt He blankly.It was only later that Lin Xingwei realized that squatting means sitting on his knees, and sitting in a skip means sitting with his legs crossed like a child.

With all preparations in place, Mrs. He and Yuzhu withdrew first, and then the other maids led the Xinan County Lord to see Lin Xingwei.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the jingling of the rings. Before anyone arrived, a strong fragrance of lilies floated into the house.
