History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 226

"You!" Zhuang Yan clearly heard the other party's provocation and ridicule, but dared not speak out.Although Zhuang Yuanjin has already joined the army, since the Zhuang mansion was copied, he was naturally convicted. At this time, there are not many wars that can make Zhuang Yuanjin meritorious, and he can only be an unknown soldier in a short time. He has nothing to do with Han Xun. Naturally, Zhuang Yan has nothing to rely on.

Pei Minglan chuckled, "Oh, I forgot, why do you still have the right to sue now? Even if you enter the palace to intercede with the Queen, it should be my Mingxi who is qualified to do so."

Zhuang Yan was extremely angry, and sneered, "What are you proud of? It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger!" As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Mingxi from the corner of her eyes, and the disdain in her eyes was undisguised—although her status changed suddenly, deep down, she still had the same respect for Pei Mingxi's background. Very contemptuous.

Pei Mingxi clearly saw the contempt, and also saw the tears in Zhuang Yan's eyes.

She was lowering her head to talk to Sui Yuandao, so she didn't see whether Pei Minglan really bumped into Zhuang Yan just now, so she kept silent.Looking at Zhuang Yan's red eyes at this time, I suddenly felt unbearable - when was she ever ridiculed like this.

Having experienced such embarrassment, I naturally know the pain.Although Pei Mingxi harbored grievances because of what Zhuang Yan did to Lin Lang, she was able to enter the painting academy smoothly because it was recommended by Zhuang Yan after all, so he sighed and stepped forward and said, "Miss Zhuang probably doesn't have enough money, I'll pay her for it."

"Mingxi!" Pei Minglan was a little dissatisfied, she was trying to taunt here.

Pei Mingxi didn't have a good impression of this sister, but it was because of Pei Yushi's face, and it was Pei Minglan who came to pick her up outside the city enthusiastically, so she didn't refuse.At this moment, she realized that Pei Minglan was deliberately making things difficult for the downcast Zhuang Yan, she felt disgusted in her heart, and ignored her, as if she had never heard of it, she took the money from her pocket and handed it to Xiaoer, and said softly: "Sister, I don't want to choose porcelain. Pot, it will be too late if you delay any longer."

Pei Minglan didn't expect her younger sister's elbow to turn outward, but now she was a little bit afraid of Pei Mingxi, and she didn't dare to make too much publicity, so she smiled and glanced at Zhuang Yan, "My Mingxi is kind-hearted so he doesn't care. But Miss Zhuang, I would like to advise you kindly, when you go out in the future, you should check the almanac first."

Zhuang Yan snorted coldly, she no longer has a maidservant by her side, and she no longer has the mind to pick things up after all this fuss, she lowered her head and walked to Pei Mingxi's side, trying to regain some of the scene, "Thank you Miss Pei for your help today, just treat it as my borrowing If you lose it, it will be returned someday.”

Pei Mingxi gave a "hmm" and walked in with Sui Yuandao.Pei Minglan didn't leave, but looked at Zhuang Yan's downcast back, feeling unfinished.

This Zhuang Yan forced herself to leave the shop, turned to a deserted street, and finally dared to cry loudly, and finally went home with red eyes.

This turmoil was later spread by insiders, and it reached Lin Lang's ears through Xu Xiang's mouth. After hearing this, Lin Lang just smiled, "It's just that the wicked will be tortured by the wicked."

At that time, Pei Mingxi had returned to the painting academy and was painting in a pavilion in the palace.Among Lin Lang's close sisters, Xu Xiang is a princess who can meet at any time, and He Xuanji specially summons her when she enters the palace. Instead, it is more convenient to find Pei Mingxi from the painting academy, so it is comfortable to talk to Pei Mingxi from time to time.

Xu Xiang was quite emotional, "Back when Pei Mingxi first came to Beijing, it seemed that you were the only one with her, and it was very good. I remember meeting at that time, Pei Minglan was so proud in front of her, but now she wants to use her face to bully others , it's really funny."

"Fortunately, Mingxi has a quiet temperament and doesn't like these disputes. I heard her say a few days ago that she would not go to Pei's house again, and it might be because of Pei Minglan."

"That Pei Minglan... I saw it later and cleaned it up." Xu Xiang leaned into Lin Lang's ear, giggling and said, "Zhuang Yan has never offended her before, so this kind of oppression is also hateful. Do you want to talk about revenge?" , she calculated you like that, and you should come."

"I'm too lazy to talk to her." Lin Lang scooped up a spoonful of iced yogurt, which was sweet and refreshing, and it was really a good way to relieve the summer heat. "The palace is going to lay off people in the past two days, and I'm so busy."

"It's going to be laid off..." Xu Xiang blinked, "According to the rules, women from good families can be released from the palace, but the daughters of sinners can't be released easily. Speaking of which, who do you think I met after entering the palace today? "

"Could it be Wei Wei?"

"...Can't you guess a few more times?" Xu Xiang was dissatisfied.

Lin Lang smiled slightly.They don't know many people in the palace. Xu Xiang's behavior is obviously a little gloating. It's not difficult to guess, but he still has to take care of Xu Xiang's mood, so he asked curiously, "Could it be that you found out?" what?"

"I guess. When I went to the Royal Garden, I happened to see her and the guards talking furtively together. I don't know what's the matter."

"Talk to the guards..." Lin Lang mused. It's not strange for the eunuchs in the palace to interact with the maids, but with the guards... Could it be that Wei Wei's temperament has not changed from a daughter to a maid?After thinking about it, she still felt strange, so she ordered Jinxiu, "See where Wei Wei is working now, and then send someone to watch quietly."
