Splendid spring returns

Chapter 127

"No, didn't you say there are still two alive?"

"Those two people were kept alive on purpose. They were just grooms with low status and no qualifications to be on the table at all. After the gangsters attacked, someone immediately knocked out the low status coachmen and grooms, and finally killed the others. Only two unconscious ones were left and kicked into the bushes at the bottom of the slope, they thought they fell down after passing out, and they survived by chance, but those gangsters just kept them to confuse the public."

"My goodness!"

"It's so audacious and insane!"

"too frightening!"

"Amitabha!"

A room full of female relatives, after listening to Gu Changting's narration, they all sighed.After discussing for a while, Mrs. Liao asked with a smile: "Since you have done such a watertight thing, why did the prince notice it?"

Before Gu Changting could speak, he heard the old concubine say calmly: "There is a way that the sky's net is wide and sparse but not leaky. If you want people to know, you have to do nothing. How can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? If you can hide it from others, you can also hide it." Compete with my grandson? Didn't the emperor send him as an imperial envoy if he knew he was extremely smart?"

Speaking of this, the old concubine glanced at Liao Shi casually, and sighed: "People in this world, most of them pretend to be smart, and think that they can cheat the world, but in fact they are just pretending to be in a cocoon."

Liao shuddered in her heart, intending to retort, but feeling guilty, she could only pick up the teacup and pretend to drink tea to cover it up.

******************
"I've been tired all day, so go to bed early, Chun Yu... well, you go too, and watch Liu Zai Ya Ya at night, don't let them kick the quilt."

"Yes."

Chun Yu agreed, turned and left.Here, Xinghua and Lizhi talked for a while, and then left, leaving only Lizhi, as if they had something on their minds, and they didn't stay at the door to look around.

Facing the mirror, Xin Nian took off the hairpins and jewelry, and changed into a fine cotton jacket. After standing up and looking at it, she laughed at herself and said, "I seem to be getting fatter again, and the clothes are a little tight."

"What's the matter? That's what makes my aunt's figure slim. You used to be too thin, but now you're plump and more charming."

"You can really talk." Xin Nian glanced at Li Zhi, saw her leaning against the door frame, and couldn't help wondering, "What are you waiting for? It's the end of the hour, why don't you turn off the lights and go to sleep."

In the end, Lizhi stretched her neck and looked out the door for a few more times, with a somewhat disappointed face, she murmured: "Your maidservant is waiting for the lord, the first day he came back today, I thought he would come to my aunt."

"You girl, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Or do you regard me as your sister? You also know that the first day the prince came back, he took the wrong medicine and came to me? Come, don't you sit down immediately? What good is it for him?"

"My lord is not someone who cares about these things."

Li Zhi finally gave up, walked back and blew out the candles one by one, and muttered: "For so many years, when he went back home, he never said that he would spend the night in the main room on the first night, he did it rashly. "

Xin Nian was startled, and then said calmly: "There must be a limit, but... In this way, my sister's life is really too hard, alas! You bastard Gu Changting."

"You can't say that about the prince. The princess is already very grateful. The prince really has no love for the princess. It's just that the marriage arranged by the elders that day has to be obeyed."

After Lizhi finished speaking, he blew out the last candle, and the moonlight outside the window immediately filled every corner of the room, although it was hazy, it was clear and bright.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Xin Nian raised his hand and waved it, then said to Li Zhi: "Why are you like my sister? Since there is no relationship between husband and wife, you still have to speak for him. But I know Gu Changting best. He looks considerate. Gentle, in fact, heartless..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phrase "Tie Zi Er Daan" from the previous life seemed to ring in his ears again, and Xin Nian was stunned, so he didn't say any more.

"I don't think so. Although people say that the prince is decisive, cruel and ruthless, he is really good to his relatives. Even our princess, no matter how ruthless he is, he has not lost respect. Auntie is also considerate enough, a man who can do this is already one in a million."

"Silly girl, you don't understand. He seems so affectionate, but he is actually another kind of ruthless. He seems to care about everyone, but in fact his heart is empty and there is no one."

Lizhi smiled "ha": "Auntie's description is novel and interesting, and it makes sense after thinking about it. It reminds me of the poem that the princess used to say, what is it called? It seems to be passionate and always ruthless? Anyway That's what it means."

"Passionate but always seems to be ruthless, what's the next sentence?" Xin Nian rubbed his forehead: "Oh! I have almost thrown away the little knowledge of poetry and books that my parents forced me to save since I was a child, and Liu Zai will enter this year. Ethnology, the prince said that Yaya should also be able to read and write, it seems that I have to pick up those books and read them when I have time."

Li Zhi laughed: "There is a prince, what is my aunt afraid of? The prince is famous for being both civil and military. My aunt is a woman, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue. Our princess is full of poetry and books, so what's the use?"

"Well, you're right, reading a book is indeed not as enjoyable as practicing martial arts." Xin Nian got into bed and waved to Lizhi: "Okay, go sleep outside quickly, and talk about it later."

"Yes."

Li Zhi tucked in the quilt for her, then straightened up, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard the faint voice of her mother-in-law outside: "Who is it? My aunt is asleep."

"It's me. Open the door."

"It seems to be... the prince?"

Then there was the sound of the courtyard door opening, Xin Nian and Lizhi glanced at each other in the moonlight, Lizhi said excitedly: "How? The prince is indeed here, am I right? He has never been a well-behaved old master."

"Follow the rules, that's a gentleman, what old master?"

While talking, Xin Nian got up from the bed.At this time, the outer door was pushed open, and Gu Changting's familiar voice sounded: "Sleeping? Why did you sleep so early? Didn't you ever think about waiting for me to come over? I know you don't take me seriously, but this is too negligent." right?"

"My lord is serious. I can't bear such a big pot. I really didn't expect you to come."

Li Zhi only had time to light a pair of red candles, and hurried over to open the curtain for Gu Changting. Just as he was about to salute, the prince waved his hand: "Excuse me, go and pour me a cup of tea. Do you have any snacks? Bring two plates over here." , I'm a little hungry now."

"It's late at night, don't drink tea, drink a glass of water, there are some snacks, pick a big plate and pick up a couple of lychees."

Xin Nian persuaded, while taking Gu Changting's cloak and hanging it up, seeing Lizhi going out, she wondered: "Why is the lord here now? The family dinner tonight, the food is rich enough, I'm almost full, why do you Are you still full?"
