Mistress

Chapter 47

When it was time for dinner, Xu Cheng came to Jinxiu Courtyard again, and after the meal, he sent out all the servants again.

Li Yan sat down next to him, she could see that he was very cautious about this matter, and asked softly: "Is there any clue?"

Xu Cheng shook his head, "Jiaoyang City is far away from the capital. I have already sent people eight hundred miles to rush to find my mentor, Mr. Wei Ji, and asked him to secretly send people to investigate Wang's house. It took me a whole afternoon. Some soldiers in Jiaoyang City found out some news from their mouths. They all said that although the Wang family was a wealthy family, they never interacted with people in the officialdom, but they had close relationships with some highly respected and talented people. Or Madam Being vigilant made me change my surname from Wang to Wang. If it is true that the descendants of the former dynasty want to restore the Wang dynasty, this is really a big deal."

Li Yan smiled ashamedly, "I'm afraid that if I guess wrong, the master will waste all his efforts."

Xu Cheng patted her on the back of the hand and said: "Madam's guess is very reasonable, even if she guessed wrong, it's okay. By the way, Madam is relieved when she finds out that I don't like this girl, and she is very happy? "

Li Yan knocked off his hand, and pouted with a blushing face, "I was very happy from the beginning to the end, so I don't need to let go."

"You are really stubborn, but I like it." Xu Cheng embraced her in his arms, and the two cuddled each other.

Li Yan was really not used to the posture of an old couple like him. She twisted in his arms and said, "What kind of woman is Wang Yingying? Know if it's true."

Xu Cheng scratched her nose, and said with a smile, "Naughty! You can see her if you want, how about playing a scene with me?"

"Acting? Good!" Li Yan came to her spirits, "I will definitely act superbly, so that the master will not be disappointed."

Xu Cheng couldn't help laughing, "I didn't see it, Madam still likes to act?"

Li Yan tugged at his sleeve and shook it, "Quickly tell me, what kind of play is it?"

Xu Cheng whispered into her ear for a while, and then asked: "How is it, I wonder if Madam is in trouble?"

"Master, don't worry, such a trivial matter will never be a problem!" Li Yan stood up and greeted the outside, "Qi'er, Qing'er, come in quickly, prepare clothes for me, I want to go out."

Qi'er and Qing'er hurried in, and Qi'er said in a panic, "Ma'am, it's getting dark now, you...where are you going?" She thought Li Yan and Xu Cheng were angry, and just wanted to go out for a walk Walk.

"I'm going to meet that goblin for a while, and see what kind of evil Master has fallen for her, and he keeps scolding me because of her. Qing'er, go and ask Manager Lin to send a carriage!" Li Yan has already started acting, Qi'er and Qing'er were taken aback for a while.

Qing'er ran out quickly, Qi'er's hands were shaking when she was looking for the cloak, she didn't dare to look at the master at all, the husband and wife had a quarrel just now, now they are all angry.

Xu Cheng put on a sullen face on purpose, but in fact he was very happy in his heart. Seeing Li Yan in such a hurry, he was very amused.

Li Yan set off with Qi'er and Qing'er, as well as Manager Qi and several servants.Li Yan also looked angry and wronged when she was sitting in the carriage, Qi'er and Qing'er both believed it, and shed tears together with her, all of them were on fire.Li Yan was glad in her heart that Nanny Cui had returned home at this time, otherwise she would have thought this matter was true, and she didn't know how many tears she would have shed with her.

When they arrived at the house, Guan Shi opened the door, and Li Yan strode in aggressively, Qi'er and Qing'er trotted behind.In front of the arch, Li Yan yelled at the two guards, "You bastard, open the door for me!"

The two guards were stunned for a while, but they didn't dare to move at all. They couldn't open the door without the prime minister's order.

Inside, Wang Yingying was already dressed elegantly and was waiting for Xu Cheng to come to listen to the music, but she didn't expect to hear a noise outside.As soon as she heard it, she understood that the woman who had been here during the day must be upset, and now she came to trouble her, but she was happy to accompany her, so she got up and left the bedroom.

Li Yan yelled three times, but the two guards refused to open the door. In order to do her tricks, Li Yan raised her arm and slapped each of them. The two guards blushed, but they remained motionless.At this time, Qing'er couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed up to bite the hand of one of the guards.

Li Yan stood there watching Qing'er bite, and Qi'er didn't step forward to stop her. Seeing that the guard didn't push Qing'er away, she followed Qing'er's example and bit another guard.

Several servants also went up and knocked on the door. Steward Qi was a little stunned by the scene in front of him. Then he came to his senses and ran outside the mansion to ride a horse. He was going to find the master. He was afraid that his wife would cause trouble here event.

The two guards gritted their teeth in pain, but they didn't dare to hit the lady's girl, so they pulled out their hands forcefully because of the unbearable pain.Seeing that the two of them did not dare to fight back, Qing'er and Qing'er became even more violent, beating them for a while, and kept shouting, "Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"

Several servants kicked the door one by one, reckoning that if they kick it dozens of times, the door will fall apart.

Wang Yingying, who was inside, first listened very carefully. Seeing that the people outside did not appear to be pretentious, she giggled for a while and said to the little leader: "If you don't let the guards outside open the door, your wife may be killed." Driven crazy, doesn't she just want to see me? It seems that your master doesn't pay attention to her at all, for fear that she will offend me. In fact, I am not such a petty person. Isn't it just a quarrel, who No way!"

The little leader saw that Wang Yingying spoke too arrogantly, and the lady outside was very pitiful, so he was blocked by two guards, and the two girls were crying, making noise, beating and biting.He remembered that the master asked about the situation when the wife came today, but he didn't say that the lady must not come in.What's more, with a few of them around, Wang Yingying couldn't hurt Madam.

The little leader yelled at the guards outside, "Let Madam come in!"

In fact, the door has already been kicked almost, and you can get in with a few more kicks, but the servants still stopped when they heard the people inside said to let the wife in.

The two guards were the little leader's subordinates. After hearing what the little leader said, they raised their bloody hands to open the door.If it weren't for the fact that these girls and servants were brought by the wife, the two of them would have easily brought these servants to the ground.

Seeing the flesh and blood on the backs of the two guards' hands, Li Yan really couldn't bear it, but there was no other way, the only way to do their tricks well.

As soon as Li Yan came in, she saw Wang Yingying facing her. Seeing her appearance and charm, Li Yan couldn't help but be impressed. No wonder this woman is so bold, even the prime minister dared to provoke her. She really has the capital of self-confidence.

Li Yan stepped forward, stared at her viciously, and said, "Don't get carried away just because you have a fairy-like face. There is an Aunt Ji in the prime minister's mansion who looks no worse than you, and the master will not go to her anyway." Room! Qi'er, Qing'er, go up and tear her face!"

Without saying a word, Qing'er rushed up and stretched out her two paws to scratch Wang Yingying's face. Qi'er was still a little reserved, but seeing that her wife had ordered, she also rushed up, and when she was about to grab Wang Yingying's hair, Wang Yingying shook her head. He swung his body around, and then kicked Qi'er and Qing'er two feet away with his legs in the air.

The little leader immediately surrounded Wang Yingying with his soldiers, and the servants also found shovels and thick sticks from the yard, as if they were going to do a big job.Wang Yingying sneered and said, "It's because they overestimated themselves, and I don't blame me for that."

Li Yan hurried to help Qi'er and Qing'er, seeing that they were in so much pain that they couldn't get up, she felt very guilty.Qing'er cried and said: "Ma'am, this goblin has demonic powers. If she is not cured, she will harm the master and madam in the future!" .

Li Yan helped Qi'er and Qing'er up one after another, and then came to Wang Yingying, posing as the wife of the wife, holding her head high and said: "Since you want to be the prime minister's woman so much, that's fine, you're going to be young tomorrow." It’s the New Year’s Day to worship the Stove Lord, so you can’t stay here alone? It’s not good for you if you have no name or title. If you give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, you will be scolded as a wild child. Why don’t you follow me back home , treat you with good food and drink, enjoy the glory and wealth, and see the master every day, wouldn’t it be great?"

Wang Yingying didn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Too many people would hinder her from doing business. Besides, she knew that Li Yan's intention was to let her enter the mansion, and then cooperate with those concubines to slowly murder her.The women in the back house, she felt that she couldn't escape those tricks, because her father had wives and concubines, and she was used to it.

She raised her proud face, and replied: "I will enter the mansion one day, but it is definitely not today. It is after the master has disposed of all the wives and concubines in the mansion, and then I will be carried in eight big sedan chairs." To enter the mansion, the master must come to greet him in person, and the gongs and drums will be declared to the sky, and the firecrackers will be fired in unison, so that the entire Ye Dynasty will know that the prime minister is marrying me, Wang Yingying."

Before Li Yan could speak, Qing'er ran over, "Bah! You, a goblin, still want the master to marry you. It's wishful thinking! Ma'am, let them arrest this goblin, and beat her to death!"

Li Yan frowned, "Oh? That's a good idea."

She looked at the little leader, the two guards, and the two soldiers, "Why don't you do anything?"

The few of them really didn't dare to do anything. The master asked them to watch Wang Yingying here, but he didn't say that they were allowed to beat her to death.

Li Yan looked at the servants again, and gave orders, "Hurry up! Don't leave anyone alive!"

The servants swung the things in their hands and were about to attack, Wang Yingying waved her hand and was about to use force, but she heard "Stop!"

Everyone looked at the arched door, and Xu Cheng came in with Guanshi Qi.

Li Yan pretended to be annoyed, and yelled at Guanshi Qi: "I asked you to follow because I trusted you, why did you do the thing of tipping off the news, and even found the master?"

Qi Guanshi subconsciously backed away.

Xu Cheng yelled at Li Yan: "Shut up! You're messing around! Hurry up and go home!"

Tears welled up in Li Yan's eyes, and she was speechless.Qing'er knelt down in front of Xu Cheng, crying and begging: "Master, don't blame Madam, that woman has sorcerer's skills, she just kicked Qi'er and me away a few feet away, if she is not executed, she will have endless troubles in the future. !"

Qi'er also crawled over, "Master, don't blame Madam, it was really that woman who spoke rudely and angered Madam, Madam let the servants do it."

Xu Cheng's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on today, even you girls dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of me? Get lost!"

Qi'er and Qing'er are usually most afraid of the master's expression, they got up and ran out of the arch in fright, as if if they didn't run, the master might chop their heads off with a sword.

Xu Cheng looked at Li Yan again, walked over to stare at her, and said word by word: "As a wife, don't you think it will hurt your face if you bring girls and servants to play tricks? Wouldn't it make the world laugh out loud if you come out? Go back to your residence soon!"

The volume of Xu Cheng's last words suddenly increased, Li Yan was really startled and trembled, then took a few steps back, and went out angrily and aggrieved.

When the arch door was closed again, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed all over, and walked forward leisurely.

Qi'er and Qing'er were still immersed in the shock of being reprimanded by Xu Cheng, crying until their shoulders shook.The servants also threw away the guys in their hands and followed behind.

It wasn't until they got into the carriage that Qi'er and Qing'er regained their strength and finally stopped crying.Seeing that Li Yan was calm and relaxed, Qi Er asked with a choked voice, "Ma'am, aren't you sad about what the master said to you just now?"

Li Yan took Qi'er and Qing'er's hands and comforted her: "I let you suffer with me today, no matter how sad I am, what's the use of it, men are like that, only see newcomers laughing, but don't hear old ones cry. To win the old man's heart, not only can I not be angry because of this, but I have to treat the old man with all my heart and soul as in the past, so that he can't bear to neglect me. If I quarrel with him endlessly and violate the seven rules, he will really give me If I marry that goblin with a divorce letter, I will be able to wash my face in tears for the rest of my life."

Qi'er and Qing'er were a little dazed when they heard it, and then nodded in a daze.

Seeing that Li Yan was gone, Xu Cheng walked up to Wang Yingying, held her hand, and led her to the bedroom, sat side by side on the couch with her, and said with some shame: "She was so rude just now. Does it startle you?"

Wang Yingying felt complacent for a while, but she put on a posture on the bright face and said generously: "Madam can't hold back, I can understand it. Ordinary women can't calm down when encountering such things. It's only a few minutes away." How can you startle me by saying "beating and killing"? Just because those servants want to beat me to death, your wife is too underestimating me. It's just... I didn't expect you to be very powerful to your wife, I just like a man like you who can make a woman submissive with just one word."

Xu Cheng picked up the jug on the table, filled the glass, then raised his head to drink, and drank it all in one gulp.He put down his glass and put his arms around Wang Yingying's shoulders, and said with a big smile, "I believe you can be as submissive as she is to me."

Seeing that Xu Cheng was not on guard, Wang Yingying casually picked up the wine she specially prepared for him and drank it.At first she was still thinking about how to coax him to drink later, but now she doesn't need to worry about it at all.

At this time, she was even more sure that Xu Cheng didn't know her background, and she thought so, after 90 years, who still remembers the Wang family who had been wiped out long ago.Her family has stayed in Jiaoyang City for decades, and no one knows anything about it.No matter how capable Xu Cheng is, he will not reach the state of omniscience.

She pushed Xu Cheng's arm away, and said softly: "I'm not a frivolous girl, I want you to fall in love with me sincerely, and for...for the rest of my life."

She got up slowly and came to sit down in front of the piano, plucking the strings, singing while playing, the sound of the piano is long and slow, the sound is shallow but can deeply penetrate into the heart and lungs of people one by one, making people irresistible.Xu Cheng was a little fascinated, and became more and more fascinated, and said vaguely: "Yingying is really a beauty that I have never found in my life. Such a beautiful voice really lingers around, and it will last for three days."

He picked up the jug on the table again, poured another glass of wine to drink, then staggered behind Wang Yingying, and threw himself on her back.

Wang Yingying dragged him to the bed, lay down next to him, and looked into his eyes quietly to see if he had indeed been hit by her soul-inducing medicine.In fact, wine is only part of the soul-invigorating medicine. After listening to the tune she played just now, he will really ask and answer.

"My lord, do you like your wife?" She asked tentatively.

Xu Cheng shook his head and said inarticulately, "I don't like it."

"Then why did you marry her?"

"The orders of the parents cannot be disobeyed. The Li family controls the military power in the northwest and can be the Xu family's backing."

Wang Yingying smiled, "Where are your soldiers and horses stored, are they better than the emperor?"

"At first, it was in Qi'e Mountain, and then moved to Wuzhi Mountain. If I could beat the emperor, I would have sent troops to besiege the city long ago. Why did I wait until I was granted the title of Marquis to divide the power, and now I can't even control the military aircraft department?"

"Only Wuzhishan has stockpiled soldiers and horses?"

"There are also Longshou Mountain and Guan Yu Mountain."

Wang Yingying's face showed joy, if she picked Xu Cheng to fight against Ye in the future, and had a bloody battle with the emperor, and her family could reap the benefits, and stab Xu Cheng's lair again, then the world would belong to her family.When her father is the emperor, she will be a famous princess in the world.

She used it to stroke Xu Cheng's hair and comfort him to sleep, so that he would not remember anything when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the little leader shouted outside: "My lord! My lord!"

Wang Yingying got up and opened the door, and saw the little leader and several soldiers surrounding the door.She frowned and asked in a low voice: "Your adult has already fallen asleep, why do you bother him?"

The little leader showed anxiety, "Miss, my lord is still guarding Ding You, and he can't get close to women, otherwise he will be impeached by the court ministers and ridiculed by the world. If you really admire my lord and want to be his woman for a long time, then He shouldn't have been put in such an embarrassing position."

Wang Yingying felt that Xu Cheng wouldn't wake up for a while, so she waved her hands and said, "Okay, you carry the lord out, be gentle, he drank too much, don't vomit him."

The little leader and his soldiers hurriedly carried Xu Cheng out, and when they came to the gate of the compound, they put Xu Cheng on the carriage.The little leader was about to escort Xu Cheng back to the mansion, but saw Su Bai gently falling in front of him, so he handed over the matter to Su Bai.

As soon as the little leader left, Su Bai handed Xu Cheng a pot of water.Xu Cheng also opened his eyes at this time, and drank a pot of water in one go, feeling better in his stomach.

"Master, I saw that it's almost time, and I was about to call you, but I didn't expect that they had already recited you."

Xu Cheng breathed out, and said with relief: "They are all carefully trained by me, and all of them are not bad."
