Evil girl follows good

Chapter 260 Reconciliation (Part [-])

He didn't think much about the old saying, he didn't speak after hearing it, but smiled instead.

After laughing enough, he replied, "I don't have an official position, how can I invite the prince, and this marriage is so embarrassing, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao's house is playing around, Zhao's house doesn't treat me as an enemy Well, the Crown Princess is from the Zhao Mansion. If the Crown Prince comes, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face of the Zhao Mansion? Even though the eldest house of the Zhao Mansion is not in harmony with the other four houses, this kind of thing will not be done. Only others say that the other four houses Reasonable, Dafang will never let people say anything bad."

Gu Yan sighed again, "I never thought that the second girl of the Zhao family who was looked down upon by others back then would become a high-ranking princess. Those people who looked down on her back then went to curry favor with her now. It's really interesting."

"That's right, Bao's mansion treated the crown prince badly. Not only did the emperor not blame him, but now he reuses Bao Yi. If this kind of heart is spread, more people will submit to the emperor." Zhuang Qiyuan drank wine one after another.

Thinking of Zhao Yuanxi in the water, in order not to get involved with him, he would rather be drowned in the water than let him save him, Zhuang Qiyuan actually felt uncomfortable, he just felt his chest was tight, and he didn't know what to do.

Gu Yan saw that every sentence he said could be related to the affairs of the court, so he lost interest and drank wine alone, both of them had something on their minds, even though they didn't speak, it felt appropriate to drink like this.

Hearing the noise from below, he didn't need to ask any more, he saw Cao Mu coming up cursing, seeing Zhuang Qiyuan and Gu Yan, he came forward with a thick skin, and sat down without paying attention to the disgust on their faces.

"Brother Zhuang, Brother Gu, it's really interesting. It's rare to meet each other, so let's have a drink together." After Cao Mu finished speaking, he called Xiao Er again, and after serving the wine, he cursed, "Those dogs look at people with eyes. It's low, but after leaving the capital for a few months, it's really hateful that I can't recognize my young master."

It turned out that Cao Mu wanted to enter the restaurant just now, but Xiao Er stopped him from entering just because of his clothes. After Cao Mu scolded him, he came up on his own, and sat down with Zhuang Qiyuan's old saying, Xiao Er saw that He is a rich man, so he didn't stop him.

Speaking of which, this time Cao Mu was able to sit here relying on the power of Zhuang Gu and the two of them. When he arrived, he could only hear him boasting, "It's really lively in the capital these days, do you know that? The prince carried a dead girl to the queen, and the queen buried her without saying anything. I heard that the girl was sent by the queen to serve Miss Xu, and that servant plotted against the prince behind Miss Xu's back. It became a good thing with Miss Xu, which made the prince angry, and the prince went to find everyone but died, so it can be seen that he was instructed by the empress."

"This is a royal matter, so don't talk nonsense." Zhuang Qiyuan interrupted him, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you two any longer."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qiyuan took out the silver and put it on the table, got up and left.

Gu Yan didn't leave, and looked at the embarrassed Cao Mu with a smile, "How do you know these things? I haven't even heard of them."

It is true that I have never heard of the old saying, so it is no wonder that there is patience here to sit with Cao Mu.

Cao Mu couldn't help feeling complacent, "I heard this from my sister-in-law. Aren't the rooms in Zhao's mansion not compatible with the eldest one? Naturally, they are paying attention to every move in the prince's mansion, so whenever there is something in the prince's mansion Well, we'll know right away."

"I heard that your sister-in-law is arguing about the separation of the family? How could she tell you about this?" Gu Yan was not afraid of his turning his back.

"Hmph, my father said that if she wants to separate, let my elder brother divorce her, and she will be honest." Cao Mu sneered, "Even the Crown Princess can't rely on her, and she still wants to be with us. The family holds their status, so they don't weigh themselves." Cao Mu sneered.

The old saying raised eyebrows, "When you were in Tongchuan, you fell in love with today's princess, but it has spread, I don't know if it is true?"

Cao Mu's expression froze, "Those people are just rumors. I don't like that reputation, that is, Li Xian likes it. No wonder the two of them had a bad reputation when they were in the capital. Now they are together. Yes, it's appropriate."

"Aren't you afraid that if you say this, it will be heard by the prince and implicate the Cao family?" Gu Yan only thought it was ridiculous when he saw such a stupid Cao Mu.

"What are you afraid of? Li Xian is just a melon. I'm not afraid of him." Cao Mu looked arrogant, and he was really not afraid at all.

The old saying hooked the corners of his lips and didn't ask any more questions. He left after being half drunk, but Cao Mu stayed there alone to drink, but something happened the next day. The woman's husband cut off her tongue, making it impossible to speak in this life. This caused quite a stir in the capital. Mrs. Cao was crying to death. The daughter was worried, and the son was also worried. Such an ordeal literally cost her half her life.

Yuan Xi didn't know that she was in the mansion, but Mrs. Cao asked to go to the Prince's mansion. Seeing Mrs. Cao with red bell eyes, Yuan Xi was quite surprised to see her come to find him.

"I don't know what business Madam is looking for me?" Yuan Xi looked at her.

Mrs. Cao first wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Second girl, we are also relatives. If there is no other way at the moment, I can't come to the door with the cheek. You are the princess now. As long as you say a word, this matter will be settled." It will definitely be done, my brother Mu's tongue was cut off, but the yamen said no one could be caught, so I beg the second girl to see that the two are relatives, let the prince speak in the yamen, and the murderer can be caught. "

Originally Mrs. Cao asked Zhao Yuanqi to come, but Zhao Yuanqi didn't come. For the sake of her son, Mrs. Cao had to bite the bullet and come by herself. Can you refuse?

Only then did Yuan Xi know about this matter. Thinking of Li Xian going out suddenly and coming back last night, and talking about Cao Mu's arrogance outside for no reason, he just listened to it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. When Madam said this, there was a cold war in her heart. Could it be that Li Xian did that thing, thinking about it, it really looks like his temperament.

"Second girl, you are a noble person now, as long as you say one word, this matter will definitely be done." Mrs. Cao became anxious when she saw that Yuan Xi had been silent for a long time, "If you don't look at me, you should look at your elders For my sister's sake, help us once, otherwise it will be spread and people will say that you are married, and you will ignore your natal family. Such a reputation is not good. I know that I am here today to embarrass the Crown Princess, but I There is really no other way, my good son's tongue was cut off like this."

Seeing the threats in her words, Yuan Xi was not angry at all. After all, Li Xian might have done this. "Ma'am, I'm really surprised. What is it that made people cut their tongues?"

Mrs. Cao's expression paused, and she forgot to cry, "I haven't inquired about this either. Brother Mu's tongue has been cut, and I can't find out if I ask anyone. He was cut off by someone looking at him in the alley. I don’t know if anyone around here saw it.”

Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, "Since the other party dared to do this, it must be something the son of the mansion said. I think it's better for Madam to go back and ask. She can't speak but can write. As for the yamen, they can't find it out." It is useless for the prince to find someone to talk to. After all, the prince has said a word, and he will do what the yamen should do. Is it possible that if you can’t find the real prisoner, you can find another person to take the blame? It doesn’t matter, I just won’t Understood, outsiders will not say anything about me, a woman is in charge of the inside and a man is in charge of the outside, and the most taboo thing in the royal family is for a woman to intervene in the affairs of the court, madam, please understand."

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he drank his tea without looking at Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Cao was rejected, her complexion was not good, "Second girl, this is just a trivial matter, why are you so cruel, in the future when the prince sits in that position, you can't be alone in the harem, and someone will support you at that time You, your position will naturally not be shaken, you have to look at the long-term."

Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "Ma'am really thinks long-term. I sat in this position but I didn't even think about that. Today I was so little by Madam, I realized that I thank Madam for her kindness. I will definitely remember it." heart."

Yuan Xi laughed out loud after speaking, but Mrs. Cao's face turned pale.

"Madam, please." Mother Fang stepped forward.

Mrs. Cao knew that if she stayed any longer, she would just be humiliating herself, so she left with a cold snort.

At the gate of the mansion, I met Li Xian who had come back from the court, Li Xian raised his eyebrows, and called Quan De over, "Have you made the Crown Princess angry?"

In the past two days, the relationship between the two masters has been good, and the atmosphere in the mansion has also improved.

"Princess Concubine is not angry, but Mrs. Cao has a nose." Quan De also smiled.

Li Xian nodded and strode towards the backyard.

Yuan Xi was about to ask him something, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately went up to meet him, "Did you do that? Don't deny it, you were acting weird last night. When Mrs. Cao said it today, I thought You. But this thing is done well, it must be what Cao Mu said again, right? At the beginning, he still wanted to marry me and plot against me, such a person deserves it.”

Li Xian laughed loudly, "As expected, she is my princess, such courage is worthy of me."

The two entered the room with a smile, Mother Fang and Lvzhu looked at each other, they also laughed, but they didn't enter the room, they waited outside, and laughter came from the room from time to time, finally there was laughter in the Prince's Mansion Voice.

The matter of the Cao family did not end there. First, Master Cao accused the Yamen of being incompetent at the court, but was accused by his son of slandering the royal family insolently. Finally, he was demoted by the emperor. Fortunately, Cao Zhi was not affected. All of a sudden, everyone in the capital Knowing that the person who offended Cao's family turned out to be the royal family.

Mr. Cao also realized later, and beat his younger son in anger, but he still couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.
