first princess

Chapter 225
Back in Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong put her sleeping sister next to her brother who was also asleep, and after retreating from everyone, she asked Xiang Zhifan: "What do you think of the second wife and Miss Biao?"

What do you think?This definition is broad.Zhi Fan pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Well, how should I put it? I think the words of the second wife and Miss Biao sound quite reasonable. Anyone who is robbed of their marriage will feel uncomfortable, although the second wife is now It's the patriarch's wife, but she is elated, which doesn't mean she hasn't been angry before. It's fine if the eldest son's mother and the second wife are casual friends, but they are good cousins. This is like the second lady robbing you and the prince. Marriage, whether you like the prince or not, you feel a little uncomfortable, right? You can throw away what belongs to you, but others can't grab it."

"My lord is trapped in the desert. If Shangguan Qian doesn't rescue him, he will die. Shangguan Hong can't marry him, but Liu Feng. It means that Shangguan Hong's fate is doomed early on. What Shangguan Qian really changed is herself and her husband." The fate of Shangguan Yan, a rescue made her the wife of the prince, and Shangguan Yan succeeded her as the envoy of God. Therefore, Shangguan Yan's resentment against Shangguan Qian is justifiable, but Shangguan Hong's resentment is untenable."Shui Linglong said indifferently: "What else? Continue."

Zhi Fan nodded, and said again: "However, in the eyes of the servant girl, although the second wife is resentful and resentful of the past son and mother, she will not be resentful because of her past life. Mrs. Patriarch."

Shui Linglong picked up the teacup and shook it lightly: "Say it's nothing."

Zhi Fan smiled sheepishly: "No, what this servant means is that what Miss Biao said sounds very reasonable, which shows that Miss Biao is very capable of creating something out of nothing."

Shui Linglong smiled: "So, you think Miss Biao is the suspicious one?"

Zhifan nodded: "That's right, who in the Shizi's mansion can't tell that she likes her? How dare she promise not to destroy the relationship between you and the Shizi? Since she doesn't want to destroy it, what is she doing now? Little, it seems like who doesn't know that she is innocent, pure and lovely, innocent and ignorant!"

Shui Linglong laughed out loud, and Zhi Fan stomped her feet: "Miss, it's because you are kind-hearted and didn't think deeply about it, but this servant thinks Miss Biao's poison is so strange! Why don't you ask your brother to throw you off the horse?" , and then encountered a poisonous snake, maybe it was her trickery! There are so many kinds of snake venoms, she just happened to be infected with one that has no antidote, so she can only pass through that...what kind of exercise, what kind of acupuncture, alas, Anyway, it's a poison that only the prince can cure. She, count every step! No matter how hard-hearted the prince is, it is impossible to let the wife's niece perish in the palace. After going back and forth, wouldn't there be contact? And with contact, isn’t it possible to cultivate feelings? Miss Biao is really brave, and she is not afraid of being bitten to death by a poisonous snake!"

Shui Linglong really doesn't have a good impression of Wen Yuan. It's the nature of a woman and a wife. She doesn't like any opposite sex to approach her husband. Even if she knows that her husband can't be tempted, she still feels that her husband is really unwilling to waste time on other women. .However, Zhifan's analysis of Wen Yuan is very subjective. Not only Zhifan, but also herself subconsciously rejects Wen Yuan.Shui Linglong pressed the center of her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, you can step back."

"Yes." Zhi Fan bowed and retreated out, seeing that it was still early in the morning, and it was still more than half an hour before the meal time, she went back to the house and took a box of crispy candies, and went to the main courtyard.

Ever since Princess Wang and Zhuge Liuyun had twists and turns, Liu Lu was hidden in the snow like a beautiful porcelain doll.When Zhi Fan found her, she was sitting in the house sewing clothes for her mother and younger brother. The palace had a lot of fabrics, and she couldn't openly sell them for money, so she simply made some clothes for her family to wear.

"Why do you make clothes every time I come to see you? Don't worry about hurting your eyes!" Zhi Fan pushed the door open and reproached him with a frown.

Liu Lu sighed helplessly: "What if I don't do it? What do I do with so much free time?"

Zhi Fan glared at her: "Oh, that's not a good thing! You eat, drink, and live well, but you don't seem to be satisfied! I'm busy all day, I'm as tired as a dog, and I have to look at it from time to time. People's faces, you say these things, you are here to sow hatred!"

"Fuck you!" Liu Lu pretended to kick her, "This can also be called hatred. Haven't you become the public enemy of women all over the world?"

Zhifan looked at Liu Lu in puzzlement, and Liu Lu smiled mysteriously: "Tiantian and Shizi look up and look down, serving tea and pouring water, and taking care of bathing and changing clothes. People live under the same roof, even death is worth it!"

Zhi Fan squeezed her arm, Liu Lu was in pain, and slapped her hand away: "Damn you, little hoof! You can pinch my old lady's arm casually?"

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

"Am I wrong?" Liu Lu tied a knot, bit off the end of the thread, put the needle and thread into the embroidery basket, and dusted the brown robe in her hand, and said leisurely, "Ye Mao's mother started Tell her about kissing, and she will get married in a short time. But look at you, you don't care about life matters at all! I don't understand, what's so good about Shi Ziye? Men... aren't they all the same? Nose, two eyes, one head and three legs? Who are you living with? Do you have to hang yourself from a tree?"

Zhi Fan raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Three legs?"

Liu Lu impatiently said "Oh": "You...forget it! You don't marry, I'll tell you when you do get married someday!"

Speaking of getting married, Zhi Fan gave Liu Lu a sympathetic look: "Your life... is it really like this?"

Liu Lu was startled for a moment, and then smiled nonchalantly, "Isn't that good? You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and your parents and younger brothers are also settled..."

"Have a baby."

"Ah?" Liu Lu was startled again.

Zhi Fan solemnly repeated: "The lord only regards you as a substitute for his wife. When he misses his wife, he will look at you, but he doesn't have much affection for you. When you get old and fading, the lord may not even look at you." I will look at you more, what are you going to do then? It’s not pleasant to say, since there is no one who will kowtow after death, don’t you feel that this life is too lonely?” While persuading Liu Lu, she was still admonishing herself.

Liu Lu smiled bitterly: "We are lucky to be able to get into this field as maids. If you look at the bonuses from Lingxiangyuan and Bizhu from Moheyuan, they were either beaten to death or sold. The princess has no children." Forget it, now that she is pregnant, how could she allow another person to come out and compete with her child for the property?"

Zhifan fell into silence.Liu Lu smiled: "Are you still talking about me, don't you understand this truth yourself? I can't help myself. You are with the right master, so you can seize the opportunity and don't waste your good time." Because of Shui Min Yu complained about Shui Linglong quite a bit, but after seeing through the faces of other people, she realized that people like Shui Linglong had the most genuine temperament.

Liu Lu is beautiful, straightforward, and smart. She is often jealous of her, thinking how could God give Liu Lu so many excellent qualities?But now she suddenly discovered that beautiful things are born to be destroyed by others, and Liu Lu's ending in this life is probably to die in another hospital, so what about herself?Zhi Fan secretly sighed, and accidentally saw a rose-red brocade on the table, bright in color and clear in texture, just like the rays of the sun spreading the spring colors, absolutely gorgeous!

"Take it if you like it." Liu Lu glanced at Zhi Fan and said generously.

Zhi Fan insisted: "Who likes it? I don't bother with the kind of satin that looks like a matchmaker! You are vulgar, dare to wear it! The prince's vision is too..." Great, this color is worn on Liu Lu, It must be so beautiful.

Liu Lu glanced at her, and snorted, "Where would the prince give me these things? The satin in the main courtyard and everything are sent by the princess on a regular basis, and the princess doesn't like such stunning colors."

Zhi Fan was slightly taken aback: "Who gave it to you?"

Liu Lu was obviously a little sleepy, yawned, and said lazily, "It's Xianglan Courtyard." After saying that, she folded the brocade clothes and put them on the bedside, turned over and lay down on the bed silently.

Zhifan put down the crunchy candy and said, "Your favorite flavor, remember not to eat it before going to bed, it will make you fat. I'll go first."

Liu Lu covered her head with a quilt: "It's alright, alright, you're like an old woman all day long, no wonder you can't get married! How long-winded!"

"This mouth of yours is not changed!" Zhi Fan straightened his clothes, turned around feeling dissatisfied, and after walking a long way, he heard Liu Lu's murmur behind him, "On the night when the son returned to the mansion, The prince seems to have had a quarrel with the Shi Ziye, I didn't hear the specifics of the quarrel very clearly, I only heard something like Kashgar celebration."

"Arguing?" Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows in surprise after hearing Zhifan's report, what could be the matter related to Kashiqing?Is it worth a big fight between Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Liuyun?
At dusk, Zhuge Yu came back from his office, just passed through the second entrance, and saw Yu's mother who was full of jewels again.Mama Yu raised her head and smiled flatteringly, the rouge and makeup off her face, seeing Zhuge Yu's hair stand on end, she immediately suppressed her smile and put on a worried expression: "My lord, I'm waiting for you! The lady is poisoned again, and she is soaking it in water with ice cubes, please go to the Xianglan Institute to detoxify the lady!"

Zhuge Yu frowned, and Yu's mother's eyes flickered, and she said, "This servant sent someone to invite Dr. Hu before coming here. I guess Dr. Hu has already arrived at Xianglan Yuan by now!"

Zhuge Yu glanced in the direction of the Wisteria Courtyard, his obsidian-like eyes flickered with an indistinct light: "Let's go!"

"Yes! Thank you, Shizi!" Mama Yu blessed her body, a happy smile curled up on her lips.

In the Xianglan courtyard, Wen Yuan was sitting in a bathtub with a lot of ice floating in it, her skirt and outer gown were soaked, and lines that gathered and scattered at the bottom of the water rippled.It was clear that her whole body was icy cold, but beads of sweat dripped from her forehead: "Come... have you come?"

The little maid ran to the door and looked around, and when she came back, she shook her head with embarrassment: "No, Miss, please bear with me!"

Wen Yuan's chest seemed to be blocked by a raging fire, which burned her internal organs beyond recognition. She pressed the edge of the barrel so tightly that her fingernails almost fell off!Just when she couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to bump her head to death, the servant girl reported that Zhuge Yu was here!
Yu's mother hurriedly opened the door for Zhuge Yu, and an elegant scent of jasmine came to her nostrils. Zhuge Yu stopped in her tracks and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Dr. Hu? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

Yu's mother lowered her eyes to cover up the guilt that passed by: "I don't know, the servant has clearly sent someone to invite you." She did send someone, but...

"Oh! Mother Yu! It's not good! Something happened to Dr. Hu! He can't come!" A servant girl ran over in a hurry and reported panting.

The corners of Yu's mother's lips curled imperceptibly, and soon she said worriedly: "Huh? Doctor Hu can't come? What should I do then? Miss's condition cannot be delayed for a while!" Looking at Zhuge Yu, she begged , "Master! You...you save the lady!"

Zhuge Yu's obsidian-like eyes sparkled intriguingly: "What happened to Dr. Hu?"

The servant girl told Zhuge Yu all about Dr. Hu's situation: "Doctor Hu has been unwell since nightfall last night. He vomited and had diarrhea. He seemed to have a bad stomach. He took the medicine himself and boiled it. , but still tossing all night, today I am so weak that I can't even get out of bed!"

Zhuge Yu looked at the servant girl's expression for a moment, and when she finished speaking, he knew that she was not lying. It stands to reason that Dr. Hu is a doctor, and he should be very careful about his diet on weekdays, so he shouldn't have a bad stomach... He His cold eyes suddenly shot at Yu's mother!

Yu's mother's temples twitched, and she lowered her body a little bit: "Your servant... I don't know...maybe... maybe I ate too much last night, my son, you ordered Dr. Hu to eat the food before you left last night. That's over, that table is full of vegetables..." They didn't prescribe medicine to Dr. Hu, and they ate all the meat and vegetables on the table. Is it strange that Dr. Hu, a frail scholar, can handle it?But they can't be blamed for this matter, who made the Shizi open the golden mouth?They just strictly carried out a perfunctory statement of the son of the world.

Zhuge Yu glanced at Yu's mother coldly, and said indifferently: "Go soak in the cold pool by yourself."

Wen Yuan inside heard the words, held back the pain and said: "Cousin, it's just a cure, why don't you watch it? We are obviously..."

"I have nothing to do with you!" Wen Yuan's words were interrupted sharply, and Zhuge Yu shook his sleeves angrily and left!Back at the wisteria courtyard, Shui Linglong greeted him with a smile as usual, and had dinner with him without showing any abnormality.Seeing his wife's gentle and virtuous appearance, Zhuge Yu moved his mouth, wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.

Leng Youru was pregnant, so the middle-aged woman in the mansion was handed over to Shui Linglong, and the account books were moved to the wisteria yard one by one, and Shui Linglong knew that the account Leng Youru asked her to settle was simply the tip of the iceberg.Fortunately, the handover work went very smoothly, and there was no situation where the subordinates deliberately caused trouble, provoked or questioned her authority.Compared with the days when the Shangshu Mansion was the head of the family, everything was much more tiring, but my heart was more relieved.

A few days later, just when Shui Linglong thought that the mansion was really Haiyan and Heqing, a piece of earth-shattering news shocked the palace: Liu Lu had smallpox, but fortunately, the little maid was clever and found it in time, which put an end to the smallpox. Danger of sprawl in the main yard.Right now, Liu Lu has been sent to the Zhuangzi to recuperate, and whether she lives or dies depends on her own destiny.

Smallpox is an infectious disease, and Liu Lu has never been in contact with the outside world. It is unbelievable that she has this disease. Shui Linglong ordered people to search Liu Lu's room carefully, and found a horse that was not sent to Liu Lu by her hand. The brocade, according to the little girl's report, was sent by the Xianglan Academy.

The little maid met a brocade delivery man on the way to receive the meal at noon, the man kept her head down, the little maid didn't look at her carefully, she only heard her say a little bit of love from Xianglan Courtyard to Liu Lu.Liu Lu is the prince's woman, and there were many people who fawned on her in the past, even Mrs. Zhen never forgot to bring her a gift during the holidays. Did not see clearly.

Zhi Fan was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Smallpox is a sick servant girl who has heard and seen it before. When they were taken around by human traffickers to find buyers, several maidservants of the same age got smallpox. The black room was locked, and after a few days, all the people were dead, and the traffickers burned down the house again...Miss, they...will they burn Zhaoyun too?"

"Smallpox virus is not incurable. Doctors are invited in Zhuangzi, and the medicinal materials are also the best." Shui Linglong wrote a note on the booklet.

Zhi Fan felt a little relieved, and after wiping away tears with a handkerchief, he said again: "Then...maybe, can I go to Zhuangzi to see Zhao Yun?"

Shui Linglong's eyes turned cold, and she said coldly: "Of course! If you pass, don't come back!" Are you kidding me?She is a personal maid, if she also carries some smallpox virus, wouldn't my brother and sister also face the danger of being infected?

Zhi Fan choked, between future and friendship, she chose the former this time.Shui Linglong flipped through the account books of the second room and fell into deep thought.Suddenly, someone outside the door reported that Miss Bao had come.Wen Yuan walked into the room with a smile, and saw Zhi Fan's eyes were red, and when Zhi Fan went to prepare tea, Wen Yuan asked, "Biao sister-in-law, what's wrong with Zhi Fan?"

Shui Linglong asked Wen Yuan to sit down on the cushioned chair, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, Zhaoyun has smallpox, and she feels uncomfortable. She and Zhaoyun used to have a good relationship."

"Oh, that's it." Wen Yuan's smile slowly narrowed, and a trace of solemnity appeared in her eyes, "Speaking of Zhaoyun's smallpox, cousin, don't you think it's strange?"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "What's so strange?"

Wen Yuan thoughtfully said: "I had never heard of Zhaoyun before, but this time they said that someone in the mansion had smallpox, and to prevent the disease from spreading, every room was smoked with vinegar. I only found out after I asked carefully He even took a flowery and beautiful wife in the yard."
