The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 315 Pretend to be sick
"I heard that my sister-in-law fell in love with my Dajin's fragrant clove tea. I specially asked my servant to buy the excellent fragrant clove tea from a tea merchant. How about you try it?"

In the living room, Xiao Ruan brought a bowl of fragrant tea to Duanmu Yao.

This Xiangding tea is called "Xiangding", but the taste is very bitter.But as long as the bitter taste in the mouth dissipates, there will be a special sweet taste, which is very interesting.

"Really? Then I'll have a good taste."

Duanmu Yao brought the tea to her mouth, took a sip, and put it down suddenly.

"Sister-in-law, don't you think this tea tastes bad?"

Xiao Ruan was a little surprised, just about to take a sip, Duanmuyao shook her head suddenly: "It's not that the tea is bad, but I'm just feeling a little bit emotional."

Feelings?

Xiao Ruan paused in his hands, and said with a gentle smile: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything on your mind, please tell me, maybe I can help."

"It doesn't mean you can help me if you say it."

A touch of helplessness crossed Duanmuyao's face: "You know that the emperor has lifted the confinement of the prince, and in a few days it will be the happy day when Lu Heng and him get married..."

"Sister-in-law, what did you say? Has the prince really been released by the emperor?"

Xiao Ruan let go of her fingers, and the tea bowl almost slipped down.

Ignoring the water splashed on the clothes, Xiao Ruan looked anxiously at Duan Muyao opposite, and couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, how did you know this news, why didn't I hear about it?"

"When I entered the palace yesterday, I overheard the discussion between the emperor and the empress of your country. I think the prince will be released today."

Duanmu Yao spoke with resentment, and did not conceal her urgency to get married. She sighed and continued: "Now that Lu Heng and the prince are married, I don't know when the marriage between the princess and your brother will have to wait. Turn into a bird and fly back to Beijiang to personally ask Father if he has received my letter."

Duanmuyao didn't know how pleasant this news was to Xiao Ruan, the tight string on the top of her head suddenly loosened, and she felt much more relaxed.

Looking at Duanmuyao's anxious appearance, I find it quite funny: "It turns out that sister-in-law is worried because of this. Although you and brother are not formally married, who in my Dajin, including this Xiaofu, doesn't recognize you as Mrs. Xiao?"

As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Yao's face immediately flushed, and all the little maids in the room also looked like they couldn't help laughing.

When Duanmuhao left with Huo Yixuan, Beijiang and Nanjin had already formed a friendship between Qin and Jin, and the marriage between Duanmuyao and Xiao Zhongheng could be completed as long as the emperor of Beijiang issued a formal order.

But in fact, at the banquet in the palace, no matter whether it was the emperor's prince or the civil and military officials, she had already recognized her as Xiao Zhongheng's wife, and even the entire Xiao Mansion had already called her Mrs. Xiao.

If she hadn't heard that Duanmuyao was eager to get married today, she would have never thought that Duanmuyao would be worried about this matter.

Helping Duanmuyao calculate the time, Xiao Ruan said firmly: "His Royal Highness has been away from the Jin Kingdom for three months, and he has already returned to Beijiang. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I believe your father will soon have a message. Come."

"Li'er is the reason you mentioned. The letter my brother sent last time also said that he is about to arrive in the capital of Beijiang, so my marriage with your brother should be near."

Duanmuyao's emotions came and went quickly, and after hearing Xiao Ruan's analysis, the worry on her face disappeared instantly.He looked at the time and found that it was already the time for Xiao Zhongheng to go to court, so he left contentedly.

"Ma'am, this princess is really interesting. This servant has never seen someone as...interesting as her."

Duanmuyao came and went like a gust of wind, Li Yun looked at her leaving direction and thought for a long time, finally chose the word "interesting" to describe it.

Xiao Ruan nodded, thinking of Duanmu Yao's rare and depressed look, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Different from Pei Yuemei, Duanmuyao treats her own people with passion, is proud and courteous towards outsiders, and even more infatuated with Xiao Zhongheng.

In the past, she liked Duanmu Yao's free and easy and straightforward, but now she likes her even more from the bottom of her heart.

Here Xiao Ruan and Li Yun were looking at the door thoughtfully, when Zhu Yun suddenly ran in excitedly.

"Miss! There's news from the palace that the prince has been released by the emperor, and his marriage to Miss Biao is going on as usual."

There was still fine sweat on Zhuyun's forehead, it was obvious that he rushed back to his life as soon as he heard the news from outside.

Xiao Ruan had just learned about this from Duanmu Yao, and when she saw Zhuyun coming in, she nodded immediately: "Okay, you go down immediately and get ready, we're going to my grandfather's house right now."

There was a lot of traffic at the gate of Lu Taifu's mansion, sedan chairs were parked at the gate, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.

Xiao Ruan learned from Lu Hanrui that Lu Heng's condition was still not well and was still resting in bed, most of the joy in her heart dissipated in an instant, and her pace slowed down.

"Is your lady in the room? Is she feeling better recently?"

While hesitating, Xiao Ruan saw her personal maid coming out of the room, and quickly called her to stop.

When the maid came out of the room, she didn't expect Xiao Ruan to appear here suddenly. She was startled, and hurriedly saluted her: "Miss Hui Biao, my lady is indeed in the room... she is in better spirits."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.He wanted to enter the room, but still hesitated.

Thinking of her suffering from hysteria before, she was in a trance and couldn't eat, so she couldn't help but looked at the maid and asked worriedly: "Then how is her appetite now?"

"Miss she..."

When asked about her appetite, the little girl's eyes suddenly averted, and she faltered for a long time but couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan suddenly felt something strange, and immediately walked into the room.

"Miss Biao, don't..."

When the little maid saw Xiao Ruan entering the room, she immediately showed nervousness, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but Xiao Ruan had already entered the inner room and saw Lu Heng in the room.

At this time, Lu Heng was holding a chicken leg in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, stuffing something into his mouth.

On the table in front of him were braised pork, drunken duck, sweet and sour fish...all Lu Heng's favorite dishes.Judging from her greasy mouth and the bones on the table, more than half of these dishes had already entered Lu Heng's stomach.

"Ruan Ruan? Why are you here?"

Lu Heng was very happy to see Xiao Ruan, wiped his mouth, and was about to stand up to meet him.Suddenly found that Xiao Ruan was surprised, and suddenly seemed to remember something.Hastily dropped the chopsticks in his hand, supported his head, and winked at the servant girl.

"Oh, my head hurts, help me to lie on the bed..."

Lu Heng seemed to be pinched by someone's throat suddenly, his voice became weak in an instant, and while walking "difficultly" to the bed, he turned his head to look at Xiao Ruan sneakily.

Even if Xiao Ruan wanted to convince herself that her eyes were dazzled, seeing Lu Heng's exaggerated acting skills, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

"Shouldn't it be a stomachache after eating so much? How could it be a headache?"

Lu Heng had already walked to the bed "weakly". Hearing Xiao Ruan's words, his body froze, and he turned his head in embarrassment: "Actually, my stomach doesn't feel well, but my head hurts a little more..."

Almost being defeated by Lu Heng, Xiao Ruan laughed angrily: "Since you are so uncomfortable, I'll go and inform my cousin and aunt, and ask them to find a doctor for you."

Hearing this, Lu Heng became more and more panicked, his eyes were rolling around as if he was thinking of some countermeasures.

The corners of Xiao Ruan's lips curled up, and she turned around and was about to go out, while silently counting the steps in her heart.

When she took the third step, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, and Lu Heng rushed towards her anxiously, grabbed her hand, and pleaded: "Ah! Don't tell them! Can't I tell you all?"

After half a stick of incense, Xiao Ruan was surprised when he heard Xiao Ruan's explanation.

"That is to say, the crown prince asked you to pretend everything from your illness to now?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down! Even my brother doesn't know about this, so don't tell anyone else!"

Lu Heng nervously made a silent gesture to Xiao Ruan, feeling extremely regretful.

After Meng Tian's bribery case was exposed, the prince was placed under house arrest by the emperor. She was indeed heartbroken, but she received a secret letter from the prince that night.

In the letter, the prince asked her to pretend to be too sad to be bedridden, and she must not let anyone see the difference, let alone tell anyone.

Lu Heng knew that this matter was no small matter, so on the second day he began to pretend that he couldn't eat, went crazy, and finally developed into "bedridden".

But she was not sick after all, and she couldn't bear to eat or drink all the time, so she had to ask the maid to help her secretly deliver food to herself when no one was looking.

Today, people in the mansion were busy receiving guests in the front yard, so she hurried to steal food, but Xiao Ruan bumped into her right in the end.

"You two are really good. Thanks to the fact that I have been in fear every day, praying for you and the prince every day, but you deliberately pretended to be sick!"

Xiao Ruan was speechless for a while, and angrily stretched out her finger to poke Lu Heng's shoulder.

When Huo Xun exposed Meng Tian, ​​so that the prince was placed under house arrest by the emperor, she felt ashamed and heard that Lu Heng had hysteria.I feel even more speechless facing the entire Lu family, and my heart is like being roasted on a fire every day, and I am suffering.

Knowing that all of this is fake now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to hide from Lu's family as before.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, isn't it okay? However, I did think about telling you at the beginning, but you left the Lu residence before I had time to "wake up". You can't let me run to Xiao Did the government tell you all this?"

Lu Heng's face was full of helplessness, and when he said this, he showed a resentful expression: "Tell me what you think? I'm already "sick" like that, and you don't say come to accompany me, It’s so good that you can bring me some food, right?”

"The prince was convicted because of Huo Xun. I didn't think you were angry with Huo Xun. You didn't even want to see me anymore, so you had to leave."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ruan's tone became a little more guilty.
