Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 108

After Liu and Gu were relieved, they naturally didn't let Xie Fan and Yan Ruiqian go. Liu sent someone to invite family law, and each of them beat bamboo pods twenty times on their hands and feet. It can arouse sympathy, but it makes Liu Shi hit harder.

After the beating was over, Yan Zhaohua and Xie Xinrou were asked to take them back to recuperate. Mrs. Gu also said that she would tell Yan Xiu and Xie Yuan about this, which caused Yan Ruiqian and Xie Fan to complain again.

After the children left, Mrs. Gu stepped forward and said to Mrs. Liu:

"Mother, I think it's wrong to blame the two children for this matter today. In the final analysis, it was Gong Ruquan who was behind it. He used the sixth prince as a command arrow. A man who is only two children, how could he stand being deceived like this? The prince... To say something disrespectful, he is also a bastard. His biological mother was born as a dancer and died early. Over the years, his reputation has fallen to the bottom. He fights cocks and walks dogs all day long. The Holy Majesty has long since given up on him, but now We got together with Gong Ruquan, if you don't deal with Gong Ruquan this time, I think something will happen."

It's not that Liu didn't understand what Gu said. After sighing, he said:

"That kid is a scourge. I knew it a long time ago. It's just that... Aunt Gong is pregnant, and the Duke loves her like an eyeball. Last time, for Gong Ruquan, the Duke did not hesitate to fall out with Xiu'er. I am here for Xiu'er." Alright, I forced this matter down, Gong Ruquan has to deal with it, but let's wait until Aunt Gong gives birth."

After Liu Shi finished speaking, she patted the back of Gu Shi's hand again and said:
"This time, Xie Yan's family owes Prince Gong's mansion a big favor. The son must be looking at the face of your cousin. Princess Gong is here today. You can find a chance to thank her too. Where is the son, you can do it in person someday. Prepare a gift and come to the door to thank you, if the son is willing, invite him to come and stay for a few days, and I will thank him personally."

"I see, mother." Gu replied, but she had doubts about Pei Xuan's rescue in her heart, because according to what Yan Ruiqian said just now, the incident on Nancheng Street today caused a great disturbance, and all yamen were mobilized. Although she He knew that Pei Xuan was working in the cabinet, but how could he take such a big risk and send people back to them?In terms of affection, she and Pei Xuan are just cousins, and the relationship they have on weekdays is all due to her flattering feelings, how can he be allowed to bear such a big crime for the family.What's more, she doesn't remember when Pei Xuan helped Xie's family in politics.

A year ago, she approached Pei Xuan for Xie Yuan's entry into the official department, but Pei Xuan flatly refused at that time, without even the slightest chance of turning around. Two sentences are also helpful.

At that time, he didn't mention a word, but why did he sell such a big favor today?After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu felt a little unbelievable.

But no matter how unbelievable, what Liu ordered was still to be done. Gu returned to the flower hall, found Princess Gong, and invited her into the inner room alone. Gu sincerely thanked Princess Gong, Princess Gong Feeling baffled, Mrs. Gu told Concubine Gong the whole story. Now even Concubine Gong was a little confused, and asked Mrs. Gu:

"You mean, he took such a big risk to send Brother Fan back for you?"

Mrs. Gu nodded and said: "Yes, to tell you the truth, Brother Fan is my lifeblood, and my son has always expected him a lot. If something happens to him, not only will my son be sad, but even our three-acre farm will be sad." The yard will also be in turmoil. There are too many children waiting to replace Brother Fan in the mansion, so Brother Xuan really helped a lot this time. He also rescued the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning. The child has had a lot of bad luck since he was a child. If Brother Xuan hadn't rescued him this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get it back at Yanhou. Brother Xuan is the savior of the Xieyan family. The old lady is grateful and let me be with you Auntie thank you, and I will come to the door with a gift later to thank Brother Xuan."

Concubine Gong still felt a little unbelievable after hearing this. Her son, at best, is principled, at worst, he is heartless, but he has never seen him help anyone for no reason. If it is for Xie Fan saved by the Gu family, This is going too far, there is no such affection...

"You mean, he not only saved Brother Fan, but also the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning?" Princess Gong wanted to ask more details.

Mrs. Gu nodded: "Yes, the eldest son, Yan Ruiqian, is the child of Yanhou and my eldest aunt. He has suffered a lot of criticism since he was a child, and he has only gotten better in the past two years. He can't stand the trouble. The eldest son saved him, yes. The Yan family is also a great favor, so I will naturally tell Yan Hou to know."

After listening to these words, Concubine Gong nodded thoughtfully, but her puzzlement did not diminish in the slightest. If Brother Fan was saved because of love, then what was the reason for saving Yan Ruiqian from the Marquis of Changning? Woolen cloth?

Yan Zhaohua led Yan Ruiqian back to Tingyuxuan, took him upstairs, asked Ranxiang and the others to close the door, the two siblings looked at each other in the room, Yan Ruiqian's knees went limp unconsciously, Kneeling in front of Yan Zhaohua, he said:
"Sister, don't be angry, I was also killed, how did you know that Gong Ruquan had such dirty thoughts, and wanted others to beat us to death, even if they couldn't kill us, it would ruin the reputation of Brother Fan and me, this kind of person I shouldn't have let him go last time, and killed him directly in the mansion, so nothing happened today."

Yan Zhaohua sighed and said:
"You only know how to say that others are bad, but how good are you? Knowing that he is not good, you are still fooled. Who can blame this? If you blame him, are you right?"

When Yan Ruiqian heard what his sister said, he immediately nodded and admitted: "Yes, no matter how bad he is, I was fooled by myself. My sister taught you that. I shouldn't shirk my responsibility."

Yan Zhaohua looked at him, stretched out his hand to poke his forehead, and said, "You! You really give me so much trouble."

He looked down at him, with a pitiful look on his face. His hands and feet were severely beaten just now. Even if she wanted to teach him a lesson, she couldn't bear it. Yan Ruiqian secretly glanced at his sister, seeing her His expression was not as serious as before, so he asked tentatively:
"Sister, the one who saved Brother Fan and me this time is Pei Xuan!"

Speaking of Pei Xuan, Yan Zhaohua tried his best to keep his expression from showing an unnatural look. Yan Ruiqian looked at Yan Zhaohua's face for a long time, but he couldn't see why. wrong.

"After I go back, I will tell my father that today it was the son of Prince Gong who saved you all for the sake of my aunt, but we at the Marquis of Changning can't ignore it, and my father will definitely come to the door to thank you personally. Never mind."

As soon as Yan Ruiqian heard Yan Xiu's name, he immediately grimaced and said:
"Huh? You have to tell dad!"

Yan Zhaohua said angrily: "Otherwise? You thought you caused little trouble this time, but now you know you're afraid? Why did you go so early?"

Yan Ruiqian lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, he felt uneasy, his father would not be like his sister, who would soften his heart after just a few words, it seems that there is still a tough battle to be fought!

Yan Zhaohua said a few more lessons, and then let Yan Ruiqian go back to his yard to rest.

Standing alone outside the west window, looking at the emerald green on the wall, she felt very complicated. Hearing what Yan Ruiqian said, Pei Xuan really helped a lot this time, but she couldn't figure out how he did it. Just happened to meet the official cleaner, and he secretly rescued the person, or did he facilitate the cleaning of the entire street?
If it’s the former, it’s better to say, after all, you don’t have to take too much risk, but if it’s the latter, Yan Zhaohua has a headache. Although she has never been to those places, she has lived for so many years and heard a lot about those things. There are people behind that dark scene. He is afraid that he will offend many people by rectifying it with such a great fanfare. Yan Zhaohua does not want it to be the latter in his heart.

Realizing that he was actually thinking about Pei Xuan, Yan Zhaohua shook his head quickly, telling himself not to think about it. Pei Xuan has not been doing things for a year or two, and he would never act out of passion or impulsiveness. For such a big matter, he must have already thought of a countermeasure before taking action. At least, in his last life, Yan Zhaohua had never heard that Prince Gong's son made a mistake or made any big troubles. In his impression, Pei Xuan This person seems to have been living in the clouds and people's legends all the time, and what he heard was always the deeds of praise. Apart from making no mistakes, he rarely even heard about the marriage and marriage. Yan Zhaohua doubted again. Xuan never married a wife in his last life.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, and then set his eyes on the emerald green, and then closed the window with his hand. Pei Xuan is definitely not here now, and he will definitely deal with the aftermath when such a big thing happened. , he always came back to look for her, she had seen that man's ability, so there was nothing to stop him.

But she should go back to the Marquis of Changning in the afternoon. Even if Pei Xuan came back, she would not be able to see her here again. After thinking about it, Yan Zhaohua went to the desk decisively and wrote two words 'return' with his backhand. Go', looking at the crooked font, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help laughing, then folded the paper, avoided the servants in the yard, went to the hidden gazebo behind the rockery, looked around, and made sure There was no one, so he lifted the hem of his skirt and climbed up the wall, put the folded note on the top of the wall, pressed down the note with a few stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and glanced at the quiet courtyard again. Hua Cai jumped off the railing, patted the dust off his hands, glanced at the place where she left the message, and then returned to the room.

After lunch, Yan Zhaohua took Yan Ruiqian back to the Marquis of Changning. Although Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Liu tried to persuade him to stay, Yan Zhaohua felt that it would be better to go back and talk to Yan Xiu after something like this happened. At that moment, Liu Shi and Gu Shi did not persuade her to stay, and after exhorting her a few words, they were sent back to the Marquis of Changning.

In front of Yan Xiu, Yan Ruiqian told the story again, without a doubt, he beat Yan Xiu severely again, held back his tears, and was carried back to his yard.
