first princess

Chapter 196 The truth about premature birth (2)
Shangguan frowned coldly, and said furiously: "It wasn't that she did such a crazy thing to offend Leng's family, the prince needs to block this sword for her? Does she know how dangerous that situation is?" Looking at Leng again Youru, the eyes became sharper and colder, "Leng Youru, you are really terrible! You hurt your husband, your adopted son and daughter, and you can bear it even with your niece and daughter who have never done you any harm. Framed! Tell me, is there anyone in this world that you dare not harm?"

The old matriarch's body became stiff little by little from Shangguan's words, since she entered the mansion, Liuyun had accidents from time to time, aside from the first time she was injured on the battlefield, the next two times she had something to do with Leng Youru direct relationship!Xiaoqian was right, after she did such insane things to Zhuge's family and Liuyun, Liuyun pleaded for her, why on earth did she squander Liuyun's feelings like this?And why let Liu Yun bear the consequences for her evil deeds?Her heart is so vicious, she won't remember Liu Yun's kindness at all!Someday she will hurt Liuyun again!Hurt Xiaoyu!Hurt Xiaoxi!Hurt Linglong...even her lovely great-grandson!
Leng Youru's hands buried under her wide sleeves were pinched with blue veins, but her face was as indifferent as water, as if she hadn't heard Shangguan's accusation, and didn't notice the old matriarch's anger.

The old lady wanted to drive her away, really wanted to drive this unknown woman away, but when she remembered the old lady's instructions before leaving, she could barely hold back the words that were about to come out from the bottom of her heart. Unable to control the words of driving her out of the house, she could only hug her son's arm and shed tears drop by drop.

"Mother! Don't be too sad! You broke down from crying carefully! Doctor Hu said that the prince is not in danger, and he will recover soon! The prince... the prince will be in pain for a few days... When the wound scabs over... everything will be easy... "Shangguan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, while secretly suspicious, Leng Youru did such a heartless thing, and inadvertently affected the prince, the old lady loves her son like her life, why didn't she express it at all?Shouldn't Leng Youru be kicked out of the mansion?The prince is also true, Leng Chengkun is looking for Leng Youru to settle accounts, why is he joining in the fun?Are you not afraid of your own death?Besides, he regards Leng Youru as a treasure, and Leng Youru treats him as a grass. Look, Leng Youru didn't shed a single tear when he was injured like this!

Shangguan's eyes sharpened, and soon he cried again into tears: "Mother, go back and rest, as long as I am here to take care of the prince! I will never allow anyone to hurt the prince again!"

The old matriarch suddenly raised her head, looked at Leng Youru and said, "I don't want to see you again! Don't you like worshiping the Buddha? That's good, you live in the Buddhist hall for me! Don't come out again for the rest of your life!"

Shangguan was overjoyed, confinement... not bad!

Leng Youru's eyelids moved, her palms were bleeding from nails, dripping on the ground bit by bit, but no one saw them, and even pretended not to see them, they grieved for them, she still could only be alone Yes, even shedding a tear will become a hypocritical joke.

"Leng Youru, I, Leng Chengkun, have been protecting you for so many years because I was so scared! You white-eyed wolf! You actually stretched out your poisonous hand to my daughter! How did she provoke you? Our Leng family doesn't have your kind Scum! From now on! You are not my sister, Leng Chengkun!"

"Aunt, you are too much! How can you design Yao Cheng and Leng Wei? How can you kill Leng Wei? I will never call you aunt again! You have disappointed me so much!"

"Leng Youru, you devil -- you paid me for your daughter..."

"Youru... Youru, how could you do that to Wei'er? How would you explain to your father when you called me to Huangquan Road?"

She raised her head, forced something back into her eyes, turned around, and wanted to walk out the door.Suddenly, her wrist tightened, she turned her head, and saw Zhuge Liuyun weakly opened his eyes, exhausted his last bit of strength, and tremblingly grabbed her hand...

After leaving the main courtyard, Shangguan was so angry that he was half dead!Leng Youru committed such a serious crime, why didn't the old lady punish her, and the prince didn't cast aside her?Doesn't the prince hate the femme-hearted woman the most?Back then, his criteria for choosing a mate were all positive. How come his taste has become so strong after 17 years of absence?

Shangguan sent the old matriarch back to Tian'anju, and walked towards Qingya courtyard indignantly. After walking a few steps, he ran into a kind-hearted old mother. She was not dressed like a person from the palace.

Cui's mother's leg was about to break, she leaned on the wall and panted heavily, and when she came back to her senses, she found a beautiful woman walking towards her slowly.She was startled in her heart, this woman is very strange, maybe she is... the second wife of the mansion?Mama Cui wiped the sweat from her forehead, took the initiative to salute, and she was not sure, so she just called Madam: "Madam, may I ask where the old matriarch's Tian'an lives? I asked all the way, and said it was in this direction, but my eyes were too cold." Not good, I’m afraid it’s going to be wrong.”

Shangguan asked: "Are you..."

Mother Cui said kindly: "I am the companion of Mrs. Leng. My surname is Cui. I came here to talk to Mrs. Madam at the order of my old lady! I also ask my wife to help me guide me! I am very grateful! "

It turned out to be the old lady's confidant. Leng Chengkun had already sent a maid to report the truth to the old lady. It happened that she was there at the time. Leng Chengkun's attitude was already very firm, and there was absolutely no room for the matter to turn around. Then, the old lady followed up What does it mean to send someone to find the old lady?I won't reiterate Leng Chengku's position again!Thinking of this, Shangguan's eyes flashed, and he said kindly: "Oh, to be honest, the old lady was very angry when she heard the bad news. Now she has rested. Tell me what you have to do. Turn around I will tell my mother exactly."

Among the middle-aged women who called the old lady "mother", besides the aunt, there should be only the second lady left.Mother Cui touched her wide sleeves and said, "Since that's the case, Madam Lao will deliver the letter to the old lady for me."

letter?Sure enough, there are tricks!
Shangguan smiled gently: "No problem, I will deliver it to you."

Mother Cui continued to fumble into her sleeves, but she couldn't find anything after fumbling around for a long time. Could it be... She was in a hurry and lost the letter?
"Miss, look!" Zhi Fan picked up a letter and handed it to Shui Linglong.Shui Linglong held the letter in her hand, on which it was written: Mrs. Zhuge has personally signed it.

It is not a gentleman's job to open letters, but Shui Linglong never considers herself a gentleman, so, under Zhi Fan's dumbfounded expression, Shui Linglong reads the letter written by Yao Xinyu herself to the old lady calmly.It turned out that Leng Wei's matter was exposed.

Zhi Fan laughed out loud: "Evil is rewarded with evil! God punished well! This time, the scandalous things done by the princess are exposed, and the Leng family will definitely not recognize her anymore!"

That's right, the old lady of the Leng family made it very clear in her letter that Leng Chengkun stabbed Leng Youru with his sword, wanting to seek Leng Youru's life, but the prince took the sword for her, and her life and death were uncertain.With the prince's martial arts, he could obviously subdue Leng Chengkun, but he forcibly received the sword with his flesh and blood. Who said he wasn't atoning for Leng Youru's sin?

The tragedy of Leng Wei and Yao Cheng was the result of Leng Youru's single-handed planning, but Leng Youru's death cannot be entirely blamed on Leng Youru's head. Leng Youru just gave Leng Wei an antidote to kill the mother and keep the child. I also reminded Leng Wei that the medicine is very domineering, and she should think twice before acting. It was Leng Wei who insisted on taking the medicine. Before she died, Leng Wei also expressed that she did not regret her original choice.

This is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.If Leng Youru was asked to take such a medicine in exchange for Yan'er's chance of survival, Leng Youru would have no hesitation.Maybe everyone thinks that Leng Youru is killing Leng Wei, but Leng Youru feels that she is doing Leng Wei a big favor.

Shui Linglong doesn't bother to care about Leng Youru's original intention now, she just wants to know how this matter was discovered after a year?Mother Qian had already been executed with a cane, and all the maids who served Leng Wei were sold after interrogation. Leng Wei's belongings were packed by Mrs. Leng herself, and nothing unusual was found.Strange...

Shui Linglong packed the letter intact, took Zhi Fan to the direction of the main courtyard, and saw a woman in her fifties walking towards her, looking for something while walking, Shui Linglong blinked her eyes , smiled and asked the people who came by: "What are you looking for?"

Mother Cui raised her head when she heard the sound, and looked at Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong was wearing a lake blue embroidered osmanthus branch waist-length skirt, a white skirt sprinkled with flowers and smoke, and the skirt was inlaid with round pearls. Slowly drifting by, like a group of elegant floating clouds, look at her lightly tied hair, no complicated jewelry, only a purple gold east bead swing, can use purple gold, and such a young woman... She should be the imperial concubine!
Mama Cui saluted: "Good luck, concubine! This servant is the mother in charge of Mrs. Leng, surnamed Cui. The servant brought a letter from the old lady to the old majesty, but accidentally lost it. The servant is looking for it! "

Shui Linglong looked sideways, handed over the letter in her hand, and said gently: "I just picked up a letter, Mama Cui, see if it's what you're looking for."

Cui's mother's eyes moved, she took the letter with both hands, and after reading it, she thanked Fushen gratefully: "That's it! Thank you, Shi Zifei!" With Shi Zifei's character, she would definitely not open the letter and read it!Even if you read it, it's not a big deal, anyway, you don't intend to hide it from the people in the palace.

Shui Linglong smiled slightly: "You're welcome. Mama Cui is going to the old matriarch's courtyard? Go straight ahead, turn right and the third courtyard is the old matriarch's Tiananju."

Mother Cui said: "The maidservant just came from there, the second lady said that the old matriarch had rested, and the maidservant planned to ask the second lady to help carry the letter, but who would have lost the letter! Fortunately, the concubine Shizi picked it up, saving the servant girl It's been a hard search. I wonder if I can ask Shi Zifei to help me bring the letter to the old majesty?"

Second lady?Zhen's body was beaten badly, and she couldn't even get out of bed for more than 20 years, so how could she come out and wander?A dark light flashed in Shui Linglong Youruo Mingyuan's eyes: "No problem, leave it to me."

Cui's mother handed the letter back, Shui Linglong held it in her hand and smiled, seemingly unintentionally said: "Oh, I happened to meet Cui's mother today, I have a question to ask."

"Sir, please tell me."

"I just heard the news about what happened to my father and mother at Leng's house, but I don't know the specifics. I also ask Mama Cui to answer my questions."

The concubine Shizi is kind to sister Hui, and when the concubine asks questions, she knows everything without saying anything.Mother Cui replied: "It was the maid who served Miss Wei before, saying that there was something hidden about Miss Wei's death. As long as the Leng family gave her enough silver taels, she would hand over the evidence to the Leng family. She said that if her family owed too much There is nowhere to go with the debt, and she is unwilling to come out and take the risk of being silenced."

"Do you recognize that maid?" Shui Linglong asked suspiciously.

Cui's mother shook her head: "She was afraid of being silenced, so she was very cautious, and she wore a bamboo hat."

Wearing a bamboo hat?Shui Linglong frowned suspiciously: "With all due respect, Leng Wei's appearance before her death was unusual. Don't you think her death was normal?"

Tears welled up in Cui's mother's eyes: "Miss Wei said that she took a kind of anti-fetal drug given by a quack doctor, so she became like that, and it has nothing to do with others. We know about her pregnancy, the doctor said. It can't be saved at all, and the tire will slip in five months at most. We wondered at the beginning, how could the fetus be saved suddenly? She kept it from us...until the last day...we couldn't stop it..."

Shui Linglong asked again: "Since you haven't seen that maid, how do you know she's telling the truth?"

Mother Cui wiped her tears and said: "The housekeeper gave her a sum of money, and she gave the housekeeper a letter...it was a letter written by my aunt to Miss Wei...you all know...that life-threatening abortion drug...is that my aunt quietly Sent it over... my aunt lied to her that there might be some side effects, but my aunt didn't know what it was, because my aunt had never taken it... How could my aunt lie to Miss Wei to take this medicine? Poor Miss Wei was doing it for my aunt before she died. Cover up...Auntie is really..."

Maybe, some, some, maybe... Shui Linglong kept chewing on these words: "Are you sure it's my concubine's handwriting?"

Mother Cui nodded and said sadly: "The butler watched my aunt grow up, and recognized her handwriting. The owner and the old lady have also read it. The owner questioned the aunt, and the aunt...did not deny it...but the aunt was bitter, she was too bitter. Only then will I be confused... I also ask the concubine Shizi to look at the mother-child relationship between the aunt and the son, and persuade the old majesty not to be cold-hearted to the aunt, and don't...don't get too angry."

This is because she is afraid that the old matriarch will drive Leng Youru out of the house in a fit of anger, and sue Leng Chengkun for intentionally hurting others!According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Leng Wei married into the Yao family, and she was a member of the Yao family. Her death was suspicious or not. If he didn't show up, he wouldn't go to the Yamen to testify. Without evidence, he couldn't sue Leng Youru.

Leng Chengkun's side is different. When Zhuge Liuyun was assassinated, how many pairs of eyes could see clearly. If the old matriarch sent Leng Chengkun to the Yamen in a fit of anger, Leng Chengkun would escape the charge of attempted murder no matter what. It won't drop.Thinking a little deeper, to overthrow the Leng family, now is the best opportunity!

Shui Linglong thought of another thing: "The satin my second aunt is wearing today is very nice, I want to buy one and ask someone to make a set for my concubine, but I can't think of where to buy it at the moment, Mama Cui has a suitable suggestion ?"

Mother Cui will spare no effort to do anything that is good to her aunt. The adoptive mother is not as old as the biological mother. Although the son is not born to the aunt, the relationship between mother and child for so many years is not fake.
Cui's mother said thoughtfully: "Are you talking about lavender Ruan Yanluo? If you want to buy Ruan Yanluo, you'd better go to Jinhe Buzhuang."

Lavender Ruan Yanluo?Zhifan's eyebrows twitched, this is not...

Shui Linglong grabbed Zhi Fan's arm and said with a smile, "Thank you Mama Cui."

"Don't dare to be. The slave girl will leave first." After Cui's mother left, Zhi Fan covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise: "Miss, the second lady is paralyzed on the bed, it seems that she can't come out... What Ruan Yanluo... light The purple Ruan Yanluo is worn by Madam if I remember correctly, why Madam lied about being the Second Madam?"

Shui Linglong dusted off the letter in her hand, and said casually: "It's impossible to lie. Haven't you seen Cui's mother's shrewdness? It's probably guessed by herself. Madam can't refute it, so she can only make mistakes. You can't say anything. , Hey! I am the prince's first wife! The mansion has never announced the identity of the wife like this!"

Zhi Fan said dully: "Is...really?"

Shui Linglong glanced at the back of Cui's mother leaving, and then touched the lingering letter, hoping that she was thinking too much.Shui Linglong went to visit Zhuge Liuyun in the main courtyard, Uncle Yu told her that the prince and concubine had rested and asked her to come back tomorrow.Immediately afterwards, she went to Tian'anju to see the old matriarch. The old matriarch cried so hard that he couldn't sleep at all.Shui Linglong handed over the letter to her, and she threw it into the brazier without even reading it. From her point of view, the behavior of the Leng family is unforgivable!Whoever hurt her son is unforgivable!
Shui Linglong comforted the old matriarch, and the old matriarch wiped away her tears vigorously: "I know your filial piety, you also went back to rest earlier, you have worked hard to take care of the children yourself, don't worry about the affairs of the house , pay attention to your body." At the end, she asked Ping'er to pack a lot of supplements and baby clothes for Shui Linglong.I thought that my sister would not live for a few days, but I didn't expect to grow slowly, and finally weighed four catties.On the contrary, the child Linglong is so thin that it makes people feel distressed, "Don't hold on if you can't bear it at night, Xiao Yu is the child's father, and he should bear the responsibility at all! I gave birth in the military camp back then, your grandfather Training during the day and changing diapers at night, didn’t you come here too? A man’s body is stronger than a woman’s, so don’t be reluctant to order Xiao Yu around, you know?”

Such a machismo like the old man actually changed Zhuge Liuyun's diaper?Shui Linglong seemed to have discovered a new world, her eyes were bright, she hugged the old matriarch's arm and rubbed her arms: "Grandma is so kind." Better than Shangguan Qian, at least she doesn't favor boys over girls, and she doesn't blindly favor Zhuge Yu. Maybe it's not disinterested, but I choose to keep it in my heart.But the old lady Junyue asked her to order Zhuge Yu, and she became more and more reluctant.This is the master wow!
