Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 62 Falling into the Tiger's Den
Seeing Li Rou's face becoming more and more ugly, Li Qian said excitedly, and added another sentence.

"Or, you feel good about yourself, and you are confident that you can win Gu Yanchao through your other charms?" Li Qian giggled a couple of times when he said this, and approached Li Rou, looking at him with pity After a few glances at her face, he stretched out his hand to touch her shoulder, and patted her lightly, "Xiao Rou, listen to the truth from the heart of my elder brother, there is no man in the world who is not Lover of beauties, as for your face, it can barely even be considered pretty, and that somewhat dignified talent and reputation are only earned by you through hard work. What else do you have besides these vain things? Such a you, he Will Gu Yanchao look back at you one more time? Look at Gu Yanxi's face, or Tang Xin's face next to you. In such a beauties nest, you are used to eating shark's fin and abalone every day. What do you think? Would he, Gu Yanchao, want to change his taste and try your porridge and side dishes?"

"Don't say any more!"

Li Rou felt that she really couldn't listen anymore, so she stretched out her hand to open Li Qian's hand on her shoulder without hesitation, took a step back, and said with a distressed expression: "Li Qian, you have to take revenge on me like this, you Are you happy?"

"No! I'm not taking revenge on you. I'm just repeating what you said to me." Li Qian felt that his mood gradually improved. With his hands behind his back, he stood in front of Li Rou. He paced back and said, "I know that in front of Tang Xin, I'm just a toad, but today I might as well tell you that I'm sure I'll eat Tang Xin's swan. If you really treat me as your big brother, Don't meddle in this matter. If you really feel ashamed of me, you can tell Tang Xin that I have plans for her and tell her to be careful. But, even if you If I do it, I still won't stop myself from approaching her, as the saying goes, unmarried men and women are unmarried, why can't I pursue the girl I like?"

"It's you and my good sister. Although men chase women through heavy mountains and women chase men through layers of gauze, Gu Yanchao really stands too high, and you can't meet her in terms of external or internal conditions. Request; if I am rejected by Tang Xin in the future, I am a man, and I am not afraid of shame, but you, if I am rejected by Gu Yanchao, you will lose all face as a little girl, and then I want to find a good one in the capital. My in-laws, it will be difficult. So I will show you the way here, don't go to Xiao Xiang Gu Yanchao's Gaoling flower, you will not be able to pick it no matter what."

After finishing speaking, Li Qian drank the tea in the teacup under Li Rou's glaring gaze, smacked his lips, and walked out of the room carelessly.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, there was the sound of something falling on the ground from behind his back foot. Without thinking about it, it must be his good sister who threw the teacup he just used on the ground to vent his temper.

Look at this violent temper, where is it dignified and gentle?This noble lady who is full of capital is really blind, she was cheated by his own sister for so many years, all she can do is to praise him as a 'good sister' who has no looks and no morals.

Shuangrui, the boy who was following Li Qian, saw that the young master came out in a good mood, and heard the movement behind him, and knew that the young master must have quarreled with the girl again, and in rare cases, he won.

Thinking of the news he had inquired just now, Shuangrui wanted to give the young master a little bit of happiness, so he leaned closer to the young master's ear and whispered a few words.

Sure enough, Li Qian, who was originally in a good mood, immediately looked at his legs with bright eyes after hearing the news, and couldn't help but rubbed his hands and asked, "Is this news true?"

Shuangrui's sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked smile was extremely lewd, "Young master, do you think the slave will use this kind of thing to deceive you? Of course, it is certain that it can't be true, so I came here to inform the young master."

Li Qian's slender waist immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and he was so greedy that he almost fell out of his mouth. While licking the corner of his mouth, he patted Shuangrui's shoulder vigorously, and kept praising: "You are the best dog leg!" Understand Lao Tzu's thoughts, well, if this matter is done properly, I will definitely benefit you."

After finishing speaking, Li Qian led Shuangrui towards the maid's room in the backyard, and his impatient look was truly vividly expressed by him.

After Xianglan came out of the girl's courtyard, she went back to the back kitchen crying.

Nanny Gao in the back kitchen is an old man in the mansion, and she has a warm and kind heart. She is quite respectable in the mansion no matter in front of the master or in front of the servants.

Xianglan is a well-behaved and obedient little girl. In addition, she sold herself as a slave to enter the Li Mansion since she was a child, in order to support the whole family. point.

Today, it happened that Madam Gao was on duty in the kitchen. When she saw Xianglan coming in crying and aggrieved, she quickly wiped her wet hands on the apron tied around her waist, and greeted her: "Panglan , What's wrong with you? Oh, why is this hand bleeding? Hurry up, sit down and let me show you. "

Looking at Nanny Gao who has taken care of and loved her since entering the mansion, Xianglan seemed to have met a relative. She hugged Nanny Gao tightly and cried for a while, then obediently let Nanny Gao take care of her. Looking at the bleeding hands on the pier in front of the stove.

Nanny Gao held Xianglan's hands distressedly, took out a clean white handkerchief from her bosom to cover her injured wound, worried on her face, and kept asking: "It's fine, why did you get hurt?" ? And crying so sadly? Did someone bully you?"

Xianglan dared to express her grievance and pity only in front of Nanny Gao, "It's the girl, the girl bumped into me and knocked the tray out of my hand. hand."

Hearing Xianglan say this answer was both expected and unexpected for Gao Nanny.

Xianglan is the girl's close servant, and she has some status in Li's residence. Naturally, ordinary servants and servants would not dare to bully her. Presumably, only a girl who is famous but actually a villain of prey would do this Bully Pandan.

Seeing Xianglan's bloody hands and pale face, Gao Nai was very distressed. She dedicated her whole life to the Li family, never married, and naturally had no children; so, in her heart, Almost treats Xianglan as her own daughter.

Right now, seeing Xianglan's pitiful appearance of being wronged, Gao Nanny could only feel distressed in her heart, enduring the sadness that was about to burst out of her heart, Gao Nanny touched Xianglan's head distressedly, and comforted her: "Okay Don't cry, Xianglan, you and I know exactly what kind of temperament Miss Li is. Even if you are crying here and you are blind, she won't care about your life or death; Let's ignore the matter, your injury is the most important thing right now, the wound on your hand is quite big, the bleeding must be stopped immediately, I have some medicines to stop bleeding and pain in my room, I will go and get them for you Here, you sit here and wait for me."

After saying that, Gao Nai stood up, and as if coaxing a child, she took out an osmanthus cake from the steamer on one side and handed it to Pan Lan: "Pan Lan, this is the sweet osmanthus cake that was just steamed in the kitchen. Cake, come out with an extra serving, you can try it."

Looking at the crystal-clear sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her, Xianglan swallowed her saliva almost subconsciously, but thinking that this sweet-scented osmanthus cake was not something that people like her could eat, she hurriedly pushed it away and refused.

"Mommy, I know you treat me well, but I can't eat this sweet-scented osmanthus cake. If the girl finds out, I will be punished."

Gao Momo touched Xianglan's hair bun distressedly, her eyes were full of caring: "Silly boy, everyone said that this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is extra, even if it is missing, the masters don't know, Besides, you were injured today and bled so much, you should make up for it, otherwise what should you do if your thin body is sick again? Don't worry, in this kitchen, Mammy still has some status , a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is still affordable for you."

Hearing Mammy Gao say this, Xianglan didn't refuse anymore, took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and held it in her arms cherishingly, her eyes were brighter because she cried just now, she thanked Nanny Gao glisteningly: "Thank you, Nanny Gao .”

"It's okay, don't cry after eating this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, or if you keep crying, your eyes will be ugly."

At this moment, how could Xianglan not understand Gao Nanny's intentions, and after saying thank you again, she obediently sat back on the pier, eating osmanthus cake silently while waiting for Gao Nanny to bring the hemostatic medicine .

A poor child like Xiang Lan hardly ever had any good food, even if he was a servant girl next to a respectable girl, he didn't enjoy the blessing for many days.

In addition, Xianglan's family is special, a pair of parents and younger siblings need her meager salary to support her. Over the years, she did earn some money in the house, but almost all of that money was used by her to subsidize the family's expenses. In normal times, she would not even be willing to buy one of the rouge, gouache, and headdress pearls that girls love to buy; Lan is a good, filial and considerate child. Over the years, even though she has endured a little bit of hardship, she has never fought for herself. In her heart, as long as her relatives can be safe and make her suffer, she has no regrets.

Just when Xianglan was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake contentedly and obediently waiting for Madam Gao to come, suddenly, the closed kitchen door was pushed open from the outside.

Almost immediately, Xianglan thought of Gao Nanny who was about to come back, happily put the plate in her hand on the stove, turned around and called, "Gao Nanny, you are back."

But as soon as these words came out, Xianglan was shocked, because she saw clearly that the person who walked into the kitchen was not Gao Nai, but Li Qian, the eldest son who was notorious in the mansion.
