Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 97 Threat letter (2)
An Guang said: "There's no shame in showing people this way. The prince sent you a living man. You can have fun secretly."

Seeing that he was silent, An Guang snickered and asked, "Hey, how on earth did you provoke Shi Zi to come up with such a way to punish you?"

Xu Lin fastened his belt, sat on the edge of the bed, clutching his aching head, and said, "Oh, don't mention it, I've never arranged anyone in my whole life. A while ago, I made some nonsense to coax my younger brother, but the crown prince found out. That's all."

Seeing that Xu Lin was uncomfortable and finally found a reason to avoid it, Shan'er stammered, "I, I'll get you some water."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and went out as if fleeing.

Seeing the distressed appearance of these two people, An Guang couldn't help being happy. He turned around and asked Xu Lin, "Nonsense? Are you talking nonsense about the prince?"

Xu Lin lowered his head and said nothing.

An Guang asked again: "What did you say about the son?"

Xu Lin stammered: "It's nothing, I'll just say that he was drunk...then what, with Chen Xianglai...then what."

"Pfft!" An Guang couldn't help it anymore, he burst out laughing, and said, "I said that the prince came up with such a strange way to punish you, originally he used his own way to treat his own body, hehehe Hee... if you dare to create such rumors, you are doing it yourself!"

Xu Lin held his head in frustration and did not speak.

An Guang gloated and said: "Come on, it's you, if someone else dares to abuse the prince like this, his life will be lost! It's good for you, you will return your wrongdoing to your daughter-in-law, or you will be bridal chamber on the prince's bed..."

"Who has a bridal chamber!" Xu Lin denied angrily.

"Hey, you still don't admit it, Shizi is a matchmaker, and the relatives we picked up for you, the raw rice is already cooked, and you can't be blamed if you want to, I think you should think about how to arrange her. "

After finishing talking, he went out with his stomach hurting from laughing, leaving Xu Lin sitting in the room alone and worrying.

Put them aside, let's talk about Xianglai.

After Xianglai Niang left, Xianglai felt as sad as her heart died. In the past, she only regarded herself as an outsider in this world, thinking that she was just acting and interpreting the role of her predecessor, but she never knew that she had already recognized this inadvertently. Identity, Chen Xiang, who completely regards herself as her predecessor, lives in life.

On the first seven days, she, her second aunt, Tianlai, Dachang, Guifang and other people who were the juniors of the second household of the Shen family went to the grave to worship. Looking at the clear "Shen Qiao's" on the tombstone, she She suddenly realized that after being a daughter once, she didn't even know her mother's name. She was speechless to herself to the extreme.

After returning home, she asked the second aunt tentatively behind others' backs, and said, "Second aunt, do you know my mother's full name?"

The second aunt was stunned and said: "I don't know, the elder sister never said it, why, she didn't tell you either?"

Xianglai murmured, "She told me once when I was a child, but...but I can't use my brain, so I forgot."

Xianglai can't remember things when she was a child. The second aunt knew about it a long time ago. For example, she didn't recognize her niece Huiling when she came to Xianglai this time. In the past, Huiling often took her to play when she came to Xianglai, so Xianglai forgot her mother's name. The second aunt didn't find it too strange.Perhaps it was also because she felt that a woman's name was not important. Anyway, when she arrived at her husband's house, she had to follow her family name. No one would call you by your first name except a man.

She didn't know about it, but Xianglai always cared about it, and asked Tianlai secretly. Tianlai used to be young, and of course it was impossible to know, and then asked Guifang and Xiufen around the corner. I don't know anything else.

So this incident became another regret for Xianglai, thinking that he might not be able to know his mother's name in this life.

It was already winter when Xianglai's spirit gradually recovered, and now she cared most about Xu Zongde's reply letter, and her father's enemy was still reading it until she died. Thoroughly, all those who have harmed my father must not be let go!

So one day in Dongyue, she and Xu Che came to the Songning County Government Office again.

Knowing that sooner or later he would not be able to hide, Chen Changzhi came out to see her after a long delay.

After the meeting, Xianglai cut straight to the point and asked directly: "Master Chen, how did Xu Zongde answer? It's been so long, don't tell me that he still doesn't know about it!"

After meeting inside the city gate last time, Chen Changzhi sent people to Huikang Mansion a few times, but instead of taking his words seriously, Xu Zongde directly accused Chen Changzhi of being useless, taking so much money from him even for such a small matter Can't do it well.

Chen Changzhi was suffocated by his rebuke, so he planned to blame everything on him and let Xianglai go directly to him, so he patted his thigh pretending to be angry and said, "Oh! Don't mention it, Shen Girl is such a straightforward person, can I not do your things with all my heart? To tell you the truth, I have asked people to run away at Huikang Mansion no less than twenty times, but Xu Zongde is just a stone in a latrine. It was smelly and hard, not only didn't agree to the girl's conditions, but also I cursed several times!"

Xianglai was in a bad mood, and didn't bother to give him a good face. He sneered and said, "Is Xu Zongde the stone in the latrine, or is Mr. Chen collaborating with him to bully me, a commoner?!"

Chen Changzhi didn't want to annoy Xianglai, so he glared at him immediately, and said, "Hey, Miss Shen, this is the conscience of heaven and earth. Let me point to the sky and say, if I go with him, Xu Zongde, I will let Lei go out of this room." Kill me! Don't talk about your business. I didn't know anything about the gold mine. It wasn't until your father's business happened that I asked someone to inquire about it. I told Xu Zongde to stop early, stop Yes! But what he said was good, but people never retreated. You also know that he has Mr. Cao, the prefect, behind him. This little seventh-rank county magistrate will be dismissed from office..."

Xianglai couldn't bear to listen to his wordy words, and interrupted him: "That means Xu Zongde didn't take my words seriously at all, did he?"

Chen Changzhi looked at her hesitantly for a while, trying to speak as tactfully as possible, but after pondering for a long time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh acquiescingly.

Xianglai turned around and walked away, saying as she walked, "Shen Che, find someone to bring a letter home to Second Aunt, let's go to Huikang Mansion."

Shen Che glanced back at Chen Changzhi with an unfriendly expression, then turned around and agreed, "Well, I'll go to the market to see if there is anyone going to Yanjiang Village."

This autumn, Xianglai is building roads and expanding fields. Now her reputation has spread from Yanjiangtun to several villages opposite the official road. Even the people from the second aunt's family know that there is a The rich woman's name is Chen Xianglai.

Even if there were not many people from the riverside coming to the city, it would not be difficult to find someone to send a message home. Xu Che found someone from a nearby village and asked them to bring the message back, and then the two went to the meeting against the cold wind. Kangfu.
