Chapter 68 The Madame's Guess
"Have you explained everything clearly to Mr. Ni?" Nalan Ying asked, looking up at Qiuyue.

"Well, I've made it clear. Mr. Ni doesn't understand why the lady doesn't want to go to the palace. He said that you clearly agreed to marry him to the palace!" Qiuyue said truthfully.

"What do you say?" Nalan Ying raised her eyebrows, guessing that Ni Fan would be suspicious.

"The servant girl said, it's not that Miss Si doesn't want to marry, but she wants to delay for a few days to settle Si Yiniang's grievances, and then go to the palace with no other worries!" Qiuyue said.

"Good Qiuyue, smart!" Nalan Ying blurted out praise.

"Miss, if you procrastinate for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to procrastinate forever. If Mr. Ni will find out that you won't marry into the palace sooner or later!" Qiuyue's eyes flashed a look of worry.

"Silly Qiuyue, by the time he finds out, we have already left the Fengqi Dynasty, can he still find us?" Nalan Ying smiled lightly.

"But!" Qiuyue bit her lip, as if she couldn't bear it.

"Are you worried that Mr. Ni will blame us for not being trustworthy?" Nalan Ying looked at her suspiciously.

"En!" Qiuyue nodded.

"It's just that everyone gets what they need! Why worry about it?" Nalan Ying comforted her.

"Then Ni Fan also wanted to enter the palace with other reasons. In fact, without me, Nalan Ying, with his reputation, there must be other ways to enter the palace!" Nalan Ying added.

The two were talking, but they heard a burst of disturbed footsteps outside, and it was Bao Zhen who had gone out to the Da Furen's yard and returned.

Baozhen came in, followed by the Linglong girl who was waiting beside the eldest lady.

"Slave Linglong has seen Miss Fourth!" Linglong said when she saw Nalan Ying knelt down and saluted.

Nalan Ying raised her head and looked at Linglong. This was the first time she took such a serious look at Linglong, the big girl next to the eldest lady. She saw her almond eyes and cherry lips, which were white and clean. The eldest lady was pampered together, but she seemed to be a beauty with outstanding temperament.

"Baozhen? Didn't I tell you to get the key to the small warehouse?" Nalan Ying didn't let Linglong get up, but swept towards the embarrassed Baozhen.

"Miss Hui, Da Furen didn't give it!" Bao Zhen said hesitantly.

"Huh?" Nalan Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, but the interjection that elongated the ending caused Linglong who was kneeling on the ground to shudder inexplicably.

"Miss Si, this servant is here to explain to you!" Linglong said hastily.

"Explain?" Nalan Ying looked at Linglong.

Linglong tried her best to dispel the sudden fear of Nalan Ying in her heart. She lowered her head and said, "Back to Miss Si, the key to this small warehouse was originally supposed to be returned to Miss Si, but today I let Miss The dowry gift is very precious, and the eldest lady is worried that it will be missed by the young people, so I will keep it for you for the time being, and I will definitely return it all when the young lady is married!"

Linglong bit her lip and replied.

"A young man?" Nalan Ying's eyes instantly sank.

"Yes, Fourth Miss, you also know that in this house, there are always a lot of people who are trying to figure it out. Now, just received the dowry, there are thieves who want to keep it in order, so you need to be more cautious in everything!" Linglong nodded and said. .

"I never thought that there would be so many people with bad intentions in Prime Minister Nalan's residence?" Nalan Ying said in surprise.

Linglong was startled, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and then said: "Miss, what Da Furen means is that it is getting late, and I am worried that thieves will be attracted. Let's talk about the key at another time!"

Nalan Ying suddenly "cracked"!With a sound, she slapped on the table with one hand, and Linglong who was kneeling on the ground jumped in fright. She shrank her neck involuntarily, and looked at Nalan Ying with a gloomy expression anxiously.

"Today, I'm going to order this key!" The cold and stern voice immediately made Linglong's heart ache.

"Sister Linglong, please run again. This Mr. Ni has told you well that Miss Fourth is not angry, so don't be angry with her right now!" Qiuyue who was standing beside hurriedly helped Linglong up and said .

Linglong, who was kneeling on the ground, had long had pain in her knees, numbness, and was holding back her anger. Now, seeing Nalanying lose her temper again, she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand up angrily, and then said nothing. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out.

"In your eldest lady's room, even a girl has no rules? When you leave my courtyard, you can't even say a word?" Nalan Ying sneered coldly.

Linglong, who turned to leave, stopped immediately, bit her lips hard, and saluted again: "Miss Si, it's the servant's fault. The servant was in a hurry and wanted to report to the lady, but she forgot before thinking about it." It's the rules!"

"Go!" Nalan Ying waved his hand.

"Yes!" Linglong couldn't bear it anymore, got Nalan Ying's order, and left without looking back.

After Linglong's back disappeared from the courtyard gate, Qiuyue turned her head and looked at Nalanying worriedly: "Miss, you are forcing the eldest lady like this, are you afraid of driving her into a hurry?"

"So what if you're in a hurry? If you take something from me, you should think that there will be a day when you will return it!" Nalan Ying sneered.

In the courtyard of the eldest lady, I saw the eldest lady sitting on the imperial concubine couch, and the eldest lady Na Lanqing beside her was holding an embroidery work in her hand, and there was a little joy in the corners of her eyes and brows. Looking carefully, she The one embroidered is the big red pillowcase where mandarin ducks play in the water.

"Mother, tell me, why did she think of asking for the key in the small warehouse?" Nalan Qing asked doubtfully while choosing embroidery thread.

"It's beautiful, she can still leave what is in my hand? It's really against her!" The eldest lady said disdainfully.

"Mother, these four girls look a little different to me!" Nalan Ying stopped her embroidery work and said with frowned eyes.

"Where is it different? Isn't she a heartless one?" The lady raised her head and glanced at Nalan Qing.

"No, mother, ever since she dived into the water to save people that day, I felt that something was wrong with her. In the past, when her mother just left, she became a fool. Didn’t the mother never give enough money this month? She didn’t say a word, she didn’t even go to grandma’s room, but now, grandma was so angry that she was sick and sent The old woman Shen who entered her yard was brought back alive by her means, and it feels like she is a little different from before!" Nalan Qing said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that you were stimulated by the marriage with that fool?" The eldest lady also said with lowered eyebrows.

"Or maybe the girl Qiuyue next to her gave her an idea?" Thinking that it might be the girl Qiuyue who gave her an idea, the lady's brows frowned. Aunt Qiu's.
