The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 88 No, I can't (2)
Scared of him!
Grabbing from under the couch with her hands, she took her fur coat and covered her body, turned over and sat down on the couch.

"Don't go." Gong Qinglan shouted eagerly.

She felt uneasy in her heart, as if if he left, there would be a thorn between the two of them, lying in the middle.

Qi Jingfeng was wearing a fur coat and a robe, turned around slowly, and comforted him: "I'm going to order Hongyu to bring water to bathe you." After saying that, he walked away.

Gong Qinglan's heart was instantly hollowed out.The red gauze fluttered, blurring his back, staring blankly at him drifting away.

The next day, Qi Jingfeng sent Gong Qinglan back to the mansion, and then drove straight to Yan Wang's mansion in a carriage.

Finding the soldier talisman, King Yan suffered a great loss, and he will definitely not bear it easily.In a short time, Qi Jingfeng might not return home.

Gong Qinglan was plagued by nightmares last night and couldn't fall asleep all night.The complexion is not good, slightly whitish.After soaking in the bath and having some snacks, he leaned on the couch to refresh himself.

Hongyu fanned at the side, looking at the blue shadow under her eyelids, feeling distressed for a while.

"Hongyu, do you have a letter from the Gong residence?" Gong Qinglan closed her eyes, and suddenly made a sound, which made the cattail leaf fan in Hongyu's hand fall to the ground, and hurriedly picked it up and said, "A message came, the master used all your betrothal gifts to improve relationships." Recently, I don’t ask about the affairs of the mansion, and I’m visiting friends abroad, and all the money has been taken care of, and Madam will use her own money to supplement the family.”

Gong Qinglan suddenly opened his eyes, and a gloomy look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"I'm afraid that's not what father meant."

Hongyu lowered her head, stared at her toes, and muttered: "Master was going to visit Prince Xian's old friend, but Aunt Ji interrupted her, so she wrote a letter to her elder brother and set up a connection with Master Changning. The subordinate Hu Qingya got acquainted with each other, and after a few times, all the money went into the purses of Aunt Ji and her brother. The master didn't know about it, and since he hadn't heard from him for a long time, he came to the door to inquire, offended Hu Qingya, and secretly tripped him up." After a pause, he continued: "Aunt Ji's eloquent words, the master mistakenly thought that Hu Qingya had embezzled the money, but he refused to recommend him, so he made a big fuss and was imprisoned in the government office. Later, he was the follower of the master, and found him Eldest young master, just brought the master out."

Gong Qinglan's eyes were as deep and unwavering as an ancient well. Looking at Hongyu, he hesitated to speak, and said coldly: "Say!"

Hongyu said hesitantly: "Master didn't appreciate it, he just sneered at Eldest Young Master. After returning home, he went to Aunt Ji's room. I don't know what he said, and Master went into Madame's room and got angry. The mistress, should be responsible for the general affairs of the mansion, the money account is short, and there is no income, let the wife use her own money to subsidize the family... But one day, Aunt Ji fell ill, and she wanted to eat food that can nourish the blood, so she specially picked it up Yes."

Gong Qinglan's face was frosty, while Gong Yuanshan's face was dull because he was angry.I remember that I hated Qi Jingfeng back then, and didn't want to recommend him to the King of Yan.But, he abused his mother like that...

"Aunt Ji was weak, so I went to the storeroom to pick some good ginseng and velvet antlers to send, and asked the cinnamon stick next to my mother to cook it and send it to me. The other meat was replaced with mutton, so that my father would not anger my mother. I neglected my concubine." After Gong Qinglan finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes and calmed down.

Hongyu widened her eyes in astonishment, why did the miss send supplements to the aunt?

Shouldn't you offer advice to your wife?

After thinking about it, the eldest young mistress is different now, so there must be her intentions in doing so.

"Young maidservant is going now." Hongyu responded, turned around and opened the curtain to go out.

After a while, Hongjuan came in with a chrysanthemum petal jade soup cup, put it on the table and said, "Young Mistress, this is the soup that I ordered for you." Holding a celadon bowl with ice pattern, scooped half Pass the bowl of chicken soup to Gong Qinglan.

Gong Qinglan looked at the golden soup with a few grains of red dates and wolfberries floating in it, and frowned slightly: "Send it to the old lady."

A look of panic flashed across Hongjuan's ordinary and honest face, and she said hastily: "Eldest young mistress, this is what the young master ordered for you. If you don't drink it, the maidservant will be demoted to Huanyifang."

Gong Qinglan watched as the golden soup collided with circles and ripples due to her movements, without even a drop shaking out.The glint in the eyes flashed away: "This is my filial piety to the old lady. If the old lady doesn't drink, you can go to Zhuangzi. I will not leave useless people by my side."

Hongjuan knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in awe and fear: "Young Mistress, the servants dare not disobey the order of the Eldest Young Master."

Gong Qinglan sneered, Qi Jingfeng knew she was allergic to goji berries, if he ordered Hongjuan to make soup for her, he would definitely tell her not to put goji berries.

"Hongjuan, you have been by the young master's side since you were a child. Now that you are eighteen, you have reached the age of marriage. The young master is busy with business, so you don't take your affairs to heart. I have already matched Hongxiu for her." You want me to make the decision for you? Lest other people know that our Qi family treats the servants harshly." Gong Qinglan stroked the blood jade bracelet on her wrist, and said with a gentle smile: "Eighteen is the most beautiful girl If you miss this age, you may lose your status."

Hongjuan's complexion gradually turned pale. Seeing that Gong Qinglan wasn't joking, she felt a 'thump' in her heart, and said anxiously: "Young Mistress, the maidservant's life was saved by the Young Master, and she is willing not to marry for the rest of her life. You and Eldest Young Master repay your kindness."

"Hongjuan, are you confused? The young master's kindness to save you is not to ask for your reward. He must also hope that you will be very good, and he will not waste your life. If you have such thoughts, wouldn't you be a master? resting his chin in one hand and stroking the teacup with the other, he said, "How are you, the steward's son? If you don't like it, I'll give you grace to marry me if you like some of the attendants by my side. .”

Hongjuan knew that Gong Qinglan's decision could not be shaken. When she talked about her marriage, she was only warning her that whoever took the initiative in this yard controlled her fate.

A burst of cold sweat broke out from her back, she kowtowed and said, "Hongjuan thanked the eldest young mistress for her kindness. This servant will send the chicken soup to the old lady!"

Seeing that she was a sensible person, Gong Qinglan didn't make things difficult for her.He waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Hongjuan got the order, took a deep breath, did not dare to stay for a moment, and hurriedly walked out. 'oops! She kicked the high threshold, tripping Hongjuan, throwing the tray in her hand, and the soup cup shattered in two.

Hongjuan knocked her knees and palms to the ground, wrinkling her face in pain.He got up suddenly, looked at Gong Qinglan in a panic, and knelt on the ground without saying anything.

The corners of Gong Qinglan's eyes drooped slightly, her face was calm, she twisted a small bamboo stick with her fingers, and fiddled with the sandalwood on the low stool in front of the couch. In the wisps of smoke, there was an elegant and intoxicating fragrance that filled the air.As she fiddled with it, the bamboo sticks did not burnt to the point of being scorched, but instead revealed a faint bamboo fragrance.
