Lady Changning

Chapter 61 Joining forces to deal with the eldest lady (2)

He Lianbao knew that there were question marks in everyone's minds, so he thought about it, Xi Changning valued this third aunt so much, so it didn't matter if she said it.

"Aphrodisiac incense is a popular term, and another name is lure incense. It is used by women in the Goulan courtyard in the Western Regions. It has an aphrodisiac effect. It smells good and is not easy to detect. However, pregnant women will have problems if they smell it. Fortunately, Third Yiniang discovered it early, and the amount of incense in this incense burner is not much."

Hearing what He Lianbao said, it was even more strange. How could such things from the Goulan Courtyard appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?Obviously someone wanted to murder Third Aunt.

"The bleeding streak may be due to fetal gas, so I changed everything in the house, and don't use any incense in the future, so as not to let people take advantage of it." Even He Lianbao could see that someone deliberately harmed the third aunt.

When Wu Yiniang heard this, she quickly called someone to open the windows and replace everything in the house.

"How do you know?" Xi Lin asked curiously.

He paid more attention to the barbarian girl in front of him.

"In the early years, I followed my father to sell all kinds of goods between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. This kind of thing is often worthless in the Western Regions, but in the Central Plains, due to the lack of raw materials, I bought more, so I know this stuff. Unexpectedly... Now my father and I are separated forever."

He Lianbao cried exaggeratedly when explaining the reason, she just thought that this girl was affectionate, while Xi Changning thought that this He Lianbao could really act.

"Don't cry, I won't ask any more." Xi Lin thought he really made He Lianbao cry, so he quickly comforted him.

Once you know the reason, you need to think about who the culprit is.Fifth Yiniang and Xi Changning knew it well, but because of Xi Lin's presence, they still dare not say more.

Not long after, Mingyu invited the doctor, and the doctor also said that the fetus was gasping, and told the third aunt not to be impatient, and just rest assured to raise the baby.

The doctor's words were somewhat reassuring, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The maids also changed everything according to Wu Yiniang's instructions, and opened the windows to ventilate the room.

"It must be the eldest lady! How long does she want to harm our mother and daughter?" Xi Lingyan has always been very quiet, but seeing the third aunt suffering this time, she couldn't hold back anymore.

"Lingyan, don't talk nonsense." Seeing Xi Lin present, Wu Yiniang immediately stopped her.

"Fifth Yiniang, you don't have to be so alien. I understand what you said, and I figured it out. I listened to Changning. I'm just an outsider. Just don't hurt my mother's life. This is the only thing I want as a son. ask."

Xi Lin is also a helpless person. He knows what kind of person his mother is, but he can't do anything to change it. The only thing he can do is to exist like an outsider.

"Brother, you go back first."

Xi Changning understood Xi Lin's bitterness very well, but what he was about to say next might make it even harder for him to accept.It's better to let him know nothing.

"Third Aunt, please rest, Xi Lin will leave first."

Xi Lin understood Xi Changning's painstaking efforts.

Seeing Xi Lin leave, Xi Changning sat down and talked it over with Fifth Yiniang.The third aunt also went to rest accompanied by Xi Lingyan.

"Fifth Aunt, don't worry, Bao'er is one of my own."

Seeing that Xi Changning didn't send Xia Bao'er away, Wu Yiniang became suspicious.Now when Xi Changning said that he was one of his own people, he knew in his heart.

"Is she from Hucheng?"

A servant from Hu Cheng suddenly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xi Changning was busy going to Hu Cheng a few days ago, so there was always something strange.

Xi Changning's reticence was a tacit consent.Although the less people know about Bao'er's life experience, the better, but Fifth Yiniang is also a participant, and she will know sooner or later.

Wu Yiniang looked at He Lianbao, who had a fly in the ointment, and thought to herself, Mingyu is the only one beside Xi Changning who is her own, and the rest of the people are all under the eyeliner of the eldest lady. It is always more convenient to have a caring person.

"Changning, what should we do about this matter? We can't produce any evidence to prove who did it." Fifth Yiniang returned to the subject.

"Let's pretend you don't know about Fifth Yiniang. Anyone who wants to harm someone will show his feet in the end."

Xi Changning's words surprised Wu Yiniang, how could she act as if she didn't know?Doing this is not at all like Xi Changning's actions.

"Five Yiniang, don't worry, we just have to wait for the evidence. Even if there is no evidence this time, I will find a way to turn it into evidence."

These words actually spoke to Fifth Auntie's heart.Originally, she was thinking that if she couldn't catch the eldest lady this time, she would give the eldest lady an excuse, otherwise the eldest lady would be lawless sooner or later.

"It's up to you. I know I'm used to being reckless. This matter concerns the lives of Bai Liu and the child. I can't be impulsive."

Bai Liu is an honest and responsible person, and she is a good sister to Fifth Yiniang. She has been doting on Bai Liu for many years and still treats her as a sister. She doesn't want Da Furen to only know how to set people up.

"Actually, there is someone more suitable to take care of Third Yiniang. Fifth Yiniang just needs to talk to Father a few more times."

"Who?" In this Prime Minister's Mansion, who is intriguing, who can protect Bai Liu better than her.

"Ma'am." Xi Changning whispered the name of the person.

"Aren't you a sheep going into a tiger's mouth?" Fifth Aunt was startled.

Xi Changning just smiled and said nothing, let Wu Yiniang do it, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, even if there is a mistake, the third aunt will be fine, because the eldest lady dare not let the third aunt do anything .

Wu Yiniang didn't understand Xi Changning's brief explanation, but Xi Changning's ability to speak out naturally means that there is a countermeasure.

"I listen to you, I will go and talk to Xi Jian tonight."

Tayue Pavilion

According to Miss Mingyu, she bought some strange materials in the street market and came back.Afterwards, it was handed over to Helian Bao. Helian Bao heard and heard about it, but he didn't see anything.

"Sister Bao'er, what are you doing?"

The lady has gone to the Imperial Palace Academy, and it is rare for Tayue Pavilion to have someone that the lady approves of to talk to Mingyu.

"You don't understand now. I'm making incense, and it will be useful to keep it when the time comes."

In fact, He Lianbao didn't want to be so troublesome, but when Xi Changning asked her to make incense, she said at the beginning that it would be better to buy it quickly, why do you have to do it yourself?
Xi Changning just knows how to play tricks, and refuses to say anything in a daze. He only asks Helian Bao to do what he can, and it's okay if he can't do it halfway.He Lianbao smelled a bad intention at that time, and thought about it carefully, isn't this an obvious attempt to set the blame on him?

In Xi Changning's words, when dealing with cunning people, extraordinary means must be used.There are few fragrances in the Central Plains, but Xi Changning wants more. If you buy so much at one time, it will definitely make people suspicious.The eldest lady must have entrusted someone to buy some, and she must not have dared to buy more, otherwise the third aunt's incense burner would not have just wiped that little amount, so what if it is not enough?

This Xi Changning is indeed a more cunning person, isn't her trick just fishing?
"Then I'll help you." After saying that, Mingyu was ready to do it.

He Lianbao hurriedly stopped, this girl didn't know how strong the fragrance was.Every night under the Furong tent, do you really think this fragrance is just a joke?

"Don't move around. These materials look inconspicuous to you, but there are so many of them together. If you smell them, I'm afraid you won't be yourself. Go find a veil and cover your nose."

He Lianbao looked at Mingyu who was wearing simple clothes, and seeing a corner of the veil protruding from the cuff, Mingyu reached out to snatch it without asking, and was going to cover it for her.

Mingyu was frightened, and when she saw that the handkerchief she had hidden was snatched away, she immediately reached out to grab it.

"This veil is no good! I'll take another one."

Mingyu folded the plain white handkerchief and put it back in her sleeve.His eyes also dodged a bit, although He Lianbao didn't know the significance of this veil, but he could tell from Mingyu's expression that he was in love.

Embarrassed, Mingyu hurried to the house to get two handkerchiefs for herself, one for each of them, and started tinkering.

He Lianbao is also doing it from memory, after all his father has been dead for so many years, and his memories of the earlier years have faded.

After messing around all afternoon, I finally tried out the fragrance-inducing formula. The fragrance is similar to that in the third aunt's room, but He Lianbao slightly reduced the amount, mainly because he was afraid that the eldest lady would really hurt it if she got it. Third aunt.

Mingyu blushed, her mind was in a daze, because she had to try the smell, and she couldn't be the only one who could smell it, so she had to go to the battle, and now she couldn't smell anything from the smell all afternoon, although she couldn't smell it every time It was a little bit, but she felt a little hot all over her body in the afternoon.

"Mingyu, go and rest quickly." Seeing Mingyu's appearance, He Lianbao knew that the effect of the incense had come out.

Mingyu didn't shirk, and hurried back to her room, fell asleep on the bed.It's just that a strange person appeared in the dream, the heroic person who would wipe her tears under the moonlight.

He Lianbao sat alone in the water pavilion waiting for Xi Changning to come back, to see how Xi Changning should thank her.Who knew it was Xi Lin who was waiting.

"Hi, young master." He Lianbao also imitated Mingyu's greetings.

Xi Lin looked at the girl in front of him always a little flustered, wondering if it was the red seal that looked like a birthmark or the other half of the exotic beauty.There is no shortage of people in the Xiangfu, Xi Hanxue is like a fairy, Xi Ling is like an elf, and even Xi Changning has an indescribable contradictory temperament.But the person in front of him is very eye-catching, even if he doesn't want to look at it, he moves his eyes away.

"Chang Ning said that she wants to go to the market to buy something. I want you to get it for her."

Xi Lin was also puzzled, whether it was the same for him to carry it for her. Xi Changning said that it was something belonging to the girl's house, and it was still inappropriate for him to hold it, so he asked the maid in the room to carry it for her.This would be troublesome, Xi Lin thought that Xi Changning was used to being alone, and it would be uncomfortable if he followed.

"Yes. Young master, Bao'er is going right away." He Lianbao felt uncomfortable being watched by Xi Lin.

Xi Lin also knew that he had lost his composure, and was embarrassed to see Bao'er.Startled, he said something for no reason.

"I'll take you there."

He Lianbao glanced at Xi Lin, this young master really thinks he is a man, he only thinks about women at this age, thanks to Xi Changning who said he is good, now it seems that he is just an ordinary young man, just put it fresh .

"Need not."

Helian Bao saluted and left by himself.When he left, there was no dislike for Xi Lin hidden on his face.

Xi Lin thought to himself, did he say something wrong?The problem is that he didn't say anything.How can this barbarian girl turn her face when she turns her face?

He Lianbao came out of the prime minister's mansion, and as soon as he walked out of the official road, he saw a carriage parked by the side of the road. She knew that carriage, and it was bought by Xi Changning at a carriage and horse dealer.In order to facilitate their travel to Hucheng.

"I knew you definitely didn't go shopping."

"Zilong left, and left a message before he left, saying that this matter will definitely be done. Now let's go back to Hucheng to have a look, and the people in the city say that the road to Hucheng is open."

Xi Changning dictated without showing any expression, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with her at all.
