Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 687 Finale (6)

Spring nights are both peaceful and lively.

The beautiful and sparkling little stars filled the black and blue night sky, and complemented each other with the bright moon, bringing boundless imagination to people, and also made Lan Niu, who was sitting by the window in Prince Ruijun's mansion and looking up at the night sky, no longer feel lonely.

Although she was walking in darkness, the light of the stars was also brilliant. The corners of Lan Niu's lips raised a beautiful arc, and she seemed to hear the breeze and the stirring of clouds.

Ding Xiang walked in with a cup of hot goat's milk and curled her lips in disdain. What's so good about the sky?Haven’t seen enough after more than ten years on the island?In her opinion, only girls who have too many unrealistic fantasies like to look at the stars and the moon, just like the girl in front of her who wants to be a queen.

"Girl, you're drinking goat's milk," Ding Xiang walked over with a smile on her face, "Don't tell me, it's really useful to keep drinking goat's milk. Girl, your skin is much whiter and more tender."

Lan Niu nodded proudly: "I have been very white since I was a child, but we were too sunny there." She didn't know if drinking goat's milk could make her whiter, she just slowly reduced the black color on her skin.Lan Niu has been away from the seaside for so long, and she is raised in this deep house compound every day, eating and using all kinds of good things. It is suspicious that she does not turn white.

"That's right," Ding Xiang smiled flatteringly and suddenly changed the subject, "Girl, you are going to see the Lord and Mr. Jade tomorrow. Don't you want to let us know where your musket is hidden? If you don't see anything, we won't either. Make sure the drawings you took out are really the musket designs."

Lan Niu snorted coldly: "Of course I carry the gun with me. The lord can see it at the first sight. Why are you hiding it?"

"Take it with you?" Ding Xiang was shocked. She had been following Lan Niu for a while. How could she see a musket?When Lan Niu arrived in the capital, she was carrying a package. In addition to a few pieces of clothing, the package contained a locked wooden box, which probably contained jewelry, silver, and perhaps things she could use to disguise herself.

Lan Niu smiled contemptuously, put down the goat's milk in her hand, walked to the cabinet and took out her wooden box.

Ding Xiang was even more shocked, wasn't she?Shouldn't the musket be a big guy?It has to be at least as big as a big knife, right?What does Lan Niu mean by bringing out this wooden box?
With a "click" sound, Lan Niu opened the wooden box. How could there be any jewelry inside?There were a few banknotes, but the rest were iron and wooden blocks of various shapes, large and small, and, as she thought, some small bottles and jars that should be used for disguise.

Under Ding Xiang's gaze, Lan Niu picked up the iron blocks and started to piece them together. After a while, she saw Lan Niu holding up something that was as long as two of her palms and as wide as one of her palms at its highest point. The thing was dark and round. The tube is pointed right at her head...

Ding Xiang was surprised and delighted: "Is this a musket?"

Lan Niu said "Yes" and aimed out the window: "Did you see the sycamore tree with the lantern hanging on it? If you stand there, I can shoot your head through with this musket. Of course, it must be loaded with gunpowder." In fact, guns are not the most powerful thing, bombs are more powerful. If you throw one into a pile of enemies, you can kill a dozen or even dozens of people in an instant."

so smart?Ding Xiang looked at Lan Niu with eyes filled with admiration.No wonder the lord valued Lan Niu so much that he even gave way to the imperial concubine.With these muskets and bombs, each of them can deal with dozens or hundreds of people, so why worry about the Lord's great cause?What kind of internal and external troubles, what kind of name is not justified, what kind of powerful thing is there, how can anyone dare to offend and question it?
"Girl, put these things away, you have to prepare to rest," Ding Xiang said, "I'm going to prepare first, we will go out early tomorrow morning." "Go, I don't need you to wait here anymore," Lan Niu He took a piece of fine cotton cloth and wiped the musket carefully, and replied lazily.She knew very well that Ding Xiang not only got the answer she wanted, but also saw things with her own eyes, so she naturally had to make a deal.It just so happened that she also needed to give reassurance to the Lord and Mr. Jade through her report to ensure that they would show up tomorrow.

We got on the carriage early the next morning. As Lan Niu expected, the windows on both sides of the carriage were nailed shut with thick cloth from the inside, making it impossible to see outside at all.

"I'm sorry, girl," Ding Xiang said, "I can't see the scenery along the way today. Please close your eyes and take a good rest. The journey will probably take nearly an hour."

"It doesn't matter," Lan Niu shrugged, "I happened to get up early today, and I also need to catch up on some sleep. Just call me when you get there." Why was she taking notes?The uncle and the others already know that they will meet the lord in the next few days, so they will naturally send people to keep an eye on him.Moreover, the master, the uncle and the second master have already locked the target, they just need proof. Isn't catching the bag on the spot the best proof?

Since the sixth day of the first lunar month, she took Lilac to visit Nishangju. Not only did she buy a bunch of beautiful and expensive dresses, but she also came back with a piece of information sewn into the skirt.She goes to Nichangju or Deyilou or Huayilou every few days to do some shopping.The more pampered and vain she was, the more relieved those people were. Not only did she collect money for her master's shop, but she also openly sent and received information under Ding Xiang's nose, which made her feel happier.

Seeing that Lan Niu, who was usually a bit spoiled, did not lose her temper because the window was sealed, but closed her eyes to rest obediently, Ding Xiang nodded secretly. Although this girl did not have the ladylike demeanor and grew up on an island, she was aware of current affairs and Knowing how to advance and retreat, he is considered smart and has an overall view. In addition, he has mastered the skills of making firearms and firearms. I heard that he also knows many secret recipes unique to Taoyuan Realm, which makes him worthy of the heir apparent of their family.Speaking of which, the so-called chess, calligraphy, and painting of ladies are really of value but not of use.

Nearly half an hour later, the noise outside the car gradually disappeared, and the carriage became more and more bumpy. Lan Niu, who was taking a nap with her eyes closed, guessed that they must have gone up the mountain road, secretly cursing: The lord would not be so careful. , Find a cave to meet and negotiate with her, right?

Fortunately, the carriage didn't seem to travel long on the mountain road. Within about two-quarters of an hour, the road began to level out again.After about a quarter of an hour of driving, the carriage stopped, and Ding Xiang called softly: "We're here, girl, let's get out of the car."

Lan Niu opened her eyes and got out of the carriage with Ding Xiang's help. The scene in front of her told her that they had entered a mansion.

Ding Xiang walked in front carrying a package with a musket on her back, "Girl, please come with me," she had never been to this place, but she saw Mr. Yu standing under the big tree in front of her from a distance.

Mr. Yu was standing there in a gray brocade robe and a black mask. He looked a bit elegant like a Confucian scholar. Seeing Lan Niu and the others approaching, he slowly stretched out his left hand to guide Lan Niu: "My lord is waiting inside, Miss Nie." Please," with her palm facing upward, a red cloud-shaped birthmark came directly into Lan Niu's sight.

　In the afternoon, I was temporarily hired by a part-time company to take on an emergency job. I just got home now.I don't dare to stay up late, so I can only post a little bit of what I wrote before I went out.It’s not over yet.
