Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 110 Build the wall as high as you want!

While speaking, he took out a gleaming dagger from his sleeve, threw it with his long and slender hand, and inserted the tip of the dagger into the desk. The whole dagger shook, making Lu Xinyan's legs weak and almost fell down.

"You're going to cut off my hands!?" Lu Xinyan exclaimed in surprise.

Losing her hands is definitely better than losing her life, but she doesn't want to have to be fed every day in the future, or use her feet instead of hands to eat, brush her teeth and wash her face...!Just thinking about that scene makes me feel better than dead!
"Can you give me a reprieve?" She cried with a sad face, "Even if a death row prisoner in prison is sentenced to be executed in autumn, there is still a buffer time, isn't it?"

Someone twitched, almost unable to hold back, "Then how long do you want the buffer time?"

"Of course..." The longer the better!Do you still need to ask?But she dare not say this now, Lu Xinyan smiled flatteringly, "Of course, Prince Xiao has the final say!"

"Very good!" The corner of someone's mouth twitched. Those who are familiar with him will know that they are very satisfied with the answer, "Then these hands will be stored with you for the time being! But remember, before I take them away, Those two hands of yours are mine, if you touch something I don't want to touch, or something I don't like, I will take it away at any time!"

"What is it that you don't want to touch, or what you don't like?" Lu Xinyan asked shamelessly, in order to let her hands follow her longer.

"Think for yourself." Someone said arrogantly.

Think for yourself?What the hell answer is this!Lu Xinyan slandered a few words in her heart, but there was a dazzled smile on her face, "Understood, Mr. Xiao, can you send me back to Guangping Marquis Mansion now? It's late, it's suspicious..."

I don't know which sentence offended him again, the man behind the desk suddenly darkened again.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped!" A certain person's eyes darkened, "Come here!"

Lu Xinyan approached reluctantly.

"Stretch out your hand!"

Lu Xinyan blinked, wouldn't she want to hit her palm?Why are you so childish!

She stretched out her hand, turned her face to the side, closed her eyes tightly, and her voice softened, "Xiao Shizi, can you hit me lightly? I'm afraid of pain!"

The pure white palm with a faint pink luster appears in someone's sight, and the candlelight casts a layer of warm light on it, like a piece of warm jade, with five pointed fingers, long and beautiful, shaking slightly because of 'fear' with.

Lu Xinyan raised her palms up for a long time, her arms were almost sore, she saw that the other party was staring at her hand, but there was no movement.

She planned to withdraw her hand without any trace, thinking that maybe he was just trying to scare her, not really wanting to hit her palm.

The moment he was slowly recovering, his hands were suddenly surrounded by a pair of warm hands with thin calluses.

There was a slight tingling sensation on the back of the hand, which seemed to be itchy, spreading all the way to the bottom of her heart. Lu Xinyan wanted to withdraw her hand very uncomfortable, but it was held even tighter.

This guy, what do you want to do? "You, let go!" she whispered.

"Miss Lu, don't forget, this hand is mine now." Someone's indifferent voice was full of rogue, "I'm holding my hand, why is it hindering others?"

Miss Lu?slip of the tongue?Lu Xinyan was slightly taken aback, but she didn't take it to heart, because she was defeated by his shameless remarks.

"Then, Sir Xiao Shizi, how long do you want to hold your 'hand'? After all, your 'hand' is on me now!" Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes.

Just after finishing speaking, the hypothenar suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you biting me?" Lu Xinyan gasped.

"As I said just now, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot escape! This is punishment!" Someone said lightly.

"Ah!" I bit the left side, and then bit the right side, it was too much!
Lu Xinyan flattened her mouth aggrieved, "It hurts~"

There is a deep tooth mark on the hypothenar of both hands, which is extremely symmetrical, and there is still someone's saliva!
"The skin is not broken, why does it hurt?" He said so, but he was merciless.

"It doesn't hurt, you bite yourself and try?" Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth angrily.

"Didn't you bite me?" Someone glanced at her, "If I remember correctly, no more, no less, exactly twice."

What a guy who must be punished!She bit him twice, and he took the opportunity to bite back? !

I have never seen such a narrow-minded man!

Lu Xinyan was speechless, "I'm biting now, Mr. Xiao, can you let go?"

A certain person looked at those slender fingers and felt very regretful, but in fact he hadn't bitten what he really wanted to bite.

Let's save it for a while, anyway, this hand...is his now!
Xiao Yichen's eyes unconsciously shone brightly, like moonlight shining on a sparkling lake.

Before letting go, he said, "Miss Lu, please keep in mind what kind of woman this son hates the most!"

Being promiscuous, disobeying women's morals, going from place to place... Lu Xinyan knew what kind of woman he hated the most without thinking about it.

But what do you mean?Warn her not to touch other men with her hands?
cut!boring! "Understood, Xiao Shizi, can I send my concubine home?" She smirked at him, thinking to get away first.

"Walk."

Just as Lu Xinyan took two steps, the room suddenly went dark, and then an extra arm appeared around her waist, and she flew up into the air.

Outside, the bright moon was in the sky, and the night wind was blowing, making the clothes of the two of them flutter, like the immortals in the painting who are riding on the clouds and chasing the moon.

Lu Xinyan stared at Xiao Yichen's good-looking chin, and with bad intentions, she deliberately stretched out a hand, and placed it gently on Xiao Yichen's chest.

A certain person's breath stagnates, his figure swayed, and he managed to calm his mind, and growled: "What are you doing? Don't die!"

"It's nothing." Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "Your 'hand' is a little tired, I dare not put it in a place you don't like, so after much deliberation, I think it's better to put it here."

"Take it back!" Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth.

"Yes~ I would like to obey Xiao Shizi's order~" The sweet and intoxicating voice was like a flower slowly blooming under the moonlit night, and the breeze was blowing gently, drunk without fragrance.

Really... clever words!

Hmph, someone hummed inwardly, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he didn't know if it was annoyance or something.

"Don't forget every word you said tonight!"

After sending Lu Xinyan back to the carriage, Xiao Yichen left coolly without saying a word.

Lu Xinyan was left behind to blow his beard and stare at him.

When leaving, the little monkey obviously felt that his young master was in a better mood.

He remembered what Qingtong asked him, and asked: "Master, have you taken a fancy to Mrs. Gong Shao?"

Xiao Yichen staggered, but his expression was still at ease, "Why do you say that?"

"Master, you have turned a blind eye to all the ladies who threw themselves into your arms in the capital before, saying that men and women are different and must follow the rules, but you have repeatedly taken Mrs. Gong away to 'whisper', this Mrs. Gong It’s fine if she’s a girl who hasn’t left the cabinet, but she’s already Mrs. Hou Shizi of Guangping, so it’s really inappropriate for you to do this!”

Xiao Yichen's good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant, he raised his hand and gave the little monkey a chestnut, "You are so young, thinking about throwing yourself into your arms every day, how is it right? Go back tonight and copy the mantra three times!"

"Master!" The little monkey scratched his head innocently, "I'm talking about you!"

"By the way, stand on horseback for another hour!" said a cold voice.

The little monkey opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe that his young master was such a young master!
Why did his mood change for the better? He must have been blind just now!

What happened to the young master who disappeared all night last night! ?
Should it be a ghost?So the temperament is cloudy?

The little monkey swallowed, and stepped forward cautiously, "Master, do you still remember when my birthday is?"

"It's only half a year away, and you want to ask for a gift so soon?" Xiao Yichen curled his lips, "It seems that you can no longer play with that girl."

"No! Master!" Can't play with Xiao He?This is the culprit of the little monkey!

He said with a mournful face, "I, I, my mouth is cheap, you slap my mouth, or punish me to run ten laps!"

Someone put his hands behind his back noncommittally, and walked slowly towards the Shizi Mansion.

On the carriage, Lu Xinyan was furious, Qingtong asked cautiously and gossip: "Miss, are you and Shizi Xiao okay?"

"What's the matter between me and that hypocritical guy?" Lu Xinyan cut out annoyed, grateful for being saved by him last night, because he came out tonight and disappeared in an instant.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask Bai Zhi to give me some drug like Ruanjinsan. If you dare to threaten me next time, I'll give him the drug so that he can't take it and walk around! Hmph!" She gritted her teeth.

Back in the pomegranate yard, after changing her clothes, Lu Xinyan called Bai Zhi to find out about the situation in the mansion in the past two days.

Bai Zhi said: "The old madam fell ill, but it's nothing serious. The third madam is also sick. The doctor said it's not serious, just get more rest. The fourth girl locked herself in the yard and couldn't come out. The second lady hurt her forehead, so I'm afraid it will hurt her." Leaving scars, the third lady has injuries all over her body, so she is locked up for the time being."

"Understood, you go to sleep."

After washing and washing, Lu Xinyan lay on the bed and rolled around, unable to sleep.

When the hand inadvertently touched the tooth marks on the hypothenar, thinking of someone, he suddenly sat up.

Without calling anyone, I took the pen and ink by myself and started to draw pictures.

The picture drawn at this time is naturally not a design drawing, but an illustration of Bingyu Biography.

Hmm... on a large scale!
After drawing more than a dozen pictures in one go, Lu Xinyan rubbed her sore arms, supported her battered eyelids, and after admiring them alone for a while, she smiled with satisfaction.

Then I turned off the light and fell asleep as soon as I went to bed.

-

Xiao Yichen, who returned to the mansion, changed the dressing for the shoulder injury before going to sleep.

The wound was not deep, but it was a little bit torn open because of the action to take that woman away at night.

He casually poured the Jinchuang medicine prescribed by Doctor Qin onto the wound, which felt cool and slightly stinging.

pain?Xiao Yichen paused for a moment, thoughtful, he bit the woman's hand twice at night, she seemed to be crying out in pain.

He put on his clothes and took out a white jade porcelain bottle from the cabinet. After the lights in the room were turned off, the white figure disappeared in a flash.

While Lu Xinyan was sleeping soundly, she felt as if a gust of wind had blown in suddenly, and soon it disappeared. Then, she fell into a deep sleep, and she didn't even know that a 'thief' had entered the room.

Tonight, on the ninth day of the lunar new year, the moon, which had not been seen for several days, was exceptionally bright today, illuminating the room clearly.

Xiao Yichen, who already had excellent night vision ability, had a panoramic view of everything in the room.

There are all kinds of exquisite dressing boxes and small accessories on the dressing table, the carved rosewood wardrobe is half covered, and the light lilac gauze curtain is not put in, so you can clearly see the sideways side of the sleeping woman on the bed.

Her face was facing outwards, half of her lying on the autumn-colored embroidered pillow, the pillow was covered with black silk, and half of her face was covered, only slightly trembling eyelashes, and half of a small cherry mouth slightly opened, in the black silk ink The hair is faintly visible, and people can't help but want to find out.

There is a jade lotus-like hand, playfully protruding from the autumn-colored brocade quilt, the ten fingers are long and slightly curved, hanging down naturally, the nails are as shiny as if they have been rubbed with oil.

At the hypothenar, the teeth marks left by him are very obvious.

Looking at the tooth marks, Xiao Yichen felt that he was in a good mood for no reason, and after quietly admiring them for a while, he stepped forward, cupping his hand like holding a treasure.

I put it in the palm of my brown hand and stared at it for a long time, until the urge to take a bite was almost uncontrollable, then I took out the ointment from my pocket and applied it carefully.

The medicine was almost transparent, and there was almost no trace when rubbed on it. It also had a very faint orchid fragrance. After a while, the fragrance dissipated, and the air was full of the faint fragrance of orchids.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help stretching out his hand, brushing away the blue hair covering her face, her brows were like blue azure, her nose was like jade teeth, her snow-white skin shone brightly in the room illuminated by the moonlight.

Those bright eyes, as beautiful as jewels and as wise as a fox, were tightly closed at this moment, but he could imagine how breathtaking the brilliance in her eyes was when she opened them!
The cunning and coquettishness when Qixi night stuffed the handkerchief into his palm to succeed, the unhurriedness when facing the temptation of Gongsun Mobai, and counterattack with an incomparably exquisite word, the jumping feet when he was threatened several times but quickly The pride when fighting back is vivid, the resolute determination when he sacrificed his life for the sincere maid who offended the powerful, and the trust that was unconsciously revealed by pulling his sleeves in the forest, and the proud and sweet tone when he said, "My husband "Of course...

Those scenes played back one by one in his mind like a revolving lantern.

"How can a woman like you, a mere Guangping Marquis, keep you?" He murmured in a low voice with a daze in his thin glazed eyes.

Xiao Yichen's slender fingers unconsciously walked along the contours of her round face, and finally stopped on the red lips that were exhaling fragrance.

"There is another problem with me. I am very domineering. I don't like to be touched by others, and I don't like to touch others."

...

"I don't like touching my hand, touching someone else, whether it's a man or a woman."

...

"Since these hands are already mine, they can only be touched by me in the future."

...

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your acquiescence, and it will be agreed in the future. If you do it again, it will not be as simple as biting your hand next time. Remember?"

Lu Xinyan: Whoop~
"Since you don't like Guangping Hou Shizi, I'll change it for you."

Someone who has been nagging for a long time, finally said the sentence that he wanted to say most in the bottom of his heart.

As for who to replace... I'll talk about it later~
The thumb lingered on the red lips for a long time, but finally restrained himself and slowly withdrew his hand.

Xiao Yichen stood up reluctantly, and when he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a stack of things on the table not far away.

He walked over in a strange way, picked it up and had a look.

The unconscious gentleness on her face just now quickly turned into blood-biting gnashing of teeth, "You bold woman! You still say it's not you?"

...

"It's fine to draw me, it's fine to insult my size, why do you draw other men?"

...

"Hmph! Confiscated, we'll see later!"

Another gust of wind blew in, and Lu Xinyan turned over. She didn't know what kind of dream she had in her dream, with a smile on her lips, and she slept very sweetly.

After waking up in the morning, Lu Xinyan was full of energy, and got out of bed without waiting for Nanny Lu to shout.

The first thing is to appreciate the masterpiece I drew last night!

Do you want to call Bai Zhi Qingtong to enjoy it together?While thinking, Lu Xinyan walked towards the table.

The top is empty.

Not only was the drawing last night gone, but all the previous manuscripts were gone!

Lu Xinyan yelled, "Qingtong, Baizhi, Shuyun, and Yueyue!"

"What's the matter, miss?" Several people ran to Lu Xinyan's room quickly without getting dressed.

"Who came to my room after I fell asleep last night?"

Several people looked at each other, "No, miss, I was exhausted at Lanying Villa two days ago, and fell asleep right after I came back."

"Miss, what happened?" Bai Zhi asked.

"The original manuscript of Bingyu Biography, as well as the dozens of pictures I drew yesterday, disappeared last night!"

"Missing? Miss, it's because you put it somewhere else and don't remember it?" Qingtong was shocked, how could such a good thing disappear?
That's all for the original manuscript, the key is the dozen or so newly drawn paintings by the young lady, they must... make people's nose bleed! "Miss, how about I help you find it?"

Bai Zhi wrinkled her nose, "Miss, where did you get hurt?"

The topic changed too quickly, Lu Xinyan was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

"There is a very faint aroma of ointment in this room. It smells like orchids. It promotes muscle growth and removes scars. It seems to be a tribute from the palace."

"Miss is injured?" Qingtong and the others pulled Lu Xinyan's hand up and down to check.

Lu Xinyan felt guilty and wanted to withdraw her hand, "I'm fine."

She was deeply ashamed and humiliated by being bitten by Xiao Yichen last night, and she didn't tell Qingtong and the others, for fear of being discovered by them now.

"Miss, don't move, let Bai Zhi take a closer look at it for you." Qingtong's hands were strong, and with a little force, Lu Xinyan couldn't move.

She was worried about being exposed, so she glanced at her hand.

Huh?How did the teeth marks disappear so quickly?

Bai Zhi sniffed, "Miss, this smell is coming from your hands."

on hand?Lu Xinyan had a flash of inspiration, combined with the disappearing biography of Bingyu, suddenly came up with an idea: Could it be that guy came last night?
can't you?Doesn't that guy call himself a gentleman and always scold her for being unfeminine?Although in her opinion, he was probably a hypocrite, but why wouldn't he sneak into a married woman's room in the middle of the night?
But after much deliberation, who else is there besides him?snort!Lu Xinyan snorted coldly in her heart.

"Probably there were too many people in Lanying Villa yesterday, and I accidentally bumped into someone who was injured and took medicine." She explained casually.

This explanation is quite reasonable, everyone didn't think much about it, they were about to disperse, when they heard Lu Xinyan say quietly: "Qingtong, I will ask Uncle Tian to find some master bricklayers to build that wall well...the higher the better, the better." , as high as you can build!"

Let me see how you will touch my room in the middle of the night!Shameless guy!snort!She gritted her teeth and thought.

"Understood, Miss." After Qing Tong answered, she immediately licked her face, "Miss, can you redraw the missing drawing?"

"Draw, of course! The more you draw, the better!"

"Thank you miss, I'll go find Uncle Tian right away!" Qing Tong rushed out of the pomegranate courtyard without having breakfast.

After Lu Xinyan washed up, Madam Lu brought breakfast after a long time, "Miss, the old lady and the third lady have been sick for the past two days, no one is in charge of the house, and the kitchen is a bit messy."

Nanny Lu set the table and chopsticks, "I guess Madam will let it out."

"En." With such a big incident happening in the mansion, Lian might be hiding in the courtyard now, worrying about disasters from the sky, how could he care about Zhongfu?
Mrs. Gu was terrified by what happened to Gong Jie and Gong Mei before, so she never dared to take over, but now the power of distribution falls on either Mrs. Jiang or her.

After much deliberation, it is more likely that the Feng family will release the Jiang family.

After breakfast, Lu Xinyan took Bai Zhi to pay her respects to Feng Shi, and as soon as she entered Fushou Yuan, she saw Aunt Feng kneeling in the middle of the courtyard.

Bai Zhi whispered: "When I went to fetch water this morning, I heard that Mr. Li came to see me at noon yesterday and told the old lady that he wanted to marry the fourth girl. The old lady was shocked and asked what happened to the fourth girl. After telling the whole story, and knowing that the Fifth Miss and the Third Miss conspired to kill the Fourth Miss, Aunt Feng knelt in this courtyard and begged the old lady to calm down, it seems that she has been kneeling since yesterday afternoon."

Gong Qing is Aunt Feng's child, she committed such scandalous things, whether Aunt Feng knew about it or not, she could hardly absolve herself of the responsibility.

At the beginning, the Feng family wanted Aunt Feng to give birth to Gong Qing for the sake of Aunt Feng's pity. After knowing that Gong Qing had an affair with Gong Jin's fiancé, Cai Yuanyu, because of Aunt Feng's pleading, she thought it was the daughter of the old Marquis, and it was her. For the sake of half a daughter, she was married as a concubine into Wuyanghou's mansion to become the fourth wife.

For so many years, Mrs. Cai has always praised Gong Qing in the mansion for the sake of Feng's face, and never let anyone neglect her because of her status as a concubine!But in the end, raising tigers is a problem!
Gong Qing actually turned her back on Gong Jin, wanted Gong Jin's dignified daughter to be Cai Yuanyu's concubine, wanted to trample Gong Jin under her feet, and serve her tea and water for the rest of her life!

One can imagine how deep the hatred in Feng's heart is!

"Send that shameless person to the Moon Temple to become a monk immediately!"

As soon as Lu Xinyan raised the curtain, she heard Feng's words angrily.

Moon Nunnery is a nunnery. Some corrupt women and ladies in the capital, who do not want to die, are sent there to become monks!

The shameless person in Feng's mouth must be Gong Rou.

"Yes, old lady!" Nanny Sun said, "But Miss San is covered in injuries, should I send her away after she recovers?"

"What are you waiting for? If she didn't have the intention of harming others first, would such a thing have happened? She committed a crime and cannot live!" Feng Shi panted heavily, "Send me away immediately!"

"Yes, old madam, the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion..." Gong Rou lost her body to Cai Yuanyu. To some extent, she was considered Cai Yuanyu's person. There was another key question, "What if Miss San's stomach..."

If Gong Rou conceived a child, it would be a descendant of Wuyanghoufu, so she had to listen to Wuyanghoufu's opinion!
"Then leave him with a bowl of medicine!" Feng said coldly, "I will personally revise the book on this matter with Mrs. Cai. Can a wicked seed that is driven by medicine be born healthy? It will only lose two For the face of the government, it is better to kill it early!"

Grandma Sun said: "My servant understands, old lady, this servant will do it now!"

"Wait! Grandma, Zhuzhu has something to say!" Lu Xinyan walked in quickly.

"Zhuzhu, you're here," Feng forced a smile, "Grandma doesn't want to bother you anymore, Zhuzhu, so don't talk too much."

"Grandmother, Zhuzhu is for the sake of the face of the two governments and the future considerations, please ask grandma to listen to Zhuzhu's words."

"In that case, let's talk about it for now."

"Grandmother, Fifth Uncle was at fault for this matter, but both Grandmother and Zhuzhu understand that the culprits are Fifth Aunt and Third Sister, without them secretly colluding to frame Fourth Aunt, this scandal would not have happened! But then again, if the Fifth Uncle hadn't had such a dirty mind first, the Fifth Aunt and the Third Younger Sister would not have been able to make plans! Therefore, in this matter, the two governments have no way to get to the bottom of who is right and who is wrong!

But there are two things that are certain, one is that the Guangping Marquis Mansion lost face, why didn't the Wuyang Marquis Mansion lose face as well?Second, the rift between the two families is settled!Because of this, grandma decided to cut through the mess quickly and send the third sister away.But Zhuzhu believes that this is not the best way!

At this time, Zhuzhu felt that the suspicion should be put aside first, and consider the face of the two houses, especially the face of Wuyanghou House!The Marquis of Wuyang Mansion is inseparable from the Ge family of the empress's surrogate family. To save the face of Marquis Wuyang's mansion is to save the face of the empress and the second prince. When the matter is resolved satisfactorily, I believe Mrs. Cai will not have a relationship with her grandmother because of the many years of friendship. Too unfamiliar, our Hou Mansion can be safe and secure for the time being. "

"Zhuzhu, what do you mean..."

"Grandmother, Zhuzhu thinks that the best way is to treat this matter as a romantic affair, and treat the two people's struggle as the involuntary love between two people, and first calm down the rumors of drugging, coercion, or conspiracy theories. !"

Lu Xinyan looked at Feng's expression, "The identity of the third sister is just a concubine. In other houses, there are many concubines who marry Gao to fill the house and give them to Shangguan as good concubines! It's just that we are the people of the Hou family. At least, it’s just as precious as a serious lady! But now it seems that a concubine is a concubine, given a chance, even a pheasant can’t become a phoenix!”

These words not only said Gong Rou, but also satirized Gong Qing!
Feng was relieved to hear that, "Zhuzhu means that instead of sending that shameless girl to be a sister-in-law, send her to the Marquis of Wuyang to be a concubine?"

"Although the third younger sister is a concubine, she is always a young lady of the Hou family. Being a concubine is a bit wronged, so it's better to be a flat wife!" Lu Xinyan blinked, in this way, Gong Rou has the position to bite the dog with Gong Qing! "The fifth aunt and the third younger sister are both descendants of concubines, so don't favor one or the other to cause people to gossip! As for if something happens between the two, Wuyang Hou's mansion will blame our Hou's mansion for being poorly educated, grandmother can inform Mrs. Cai in advance that the fifth aunt and the third younger sister will enter the house." Once you enter Wuyanghou's residence, you are from Wuyanghou's residence, everything has nothing to do with Guangpinghou's residence in the future, if there is any mistake, it will be handled by Mrs. Cai, and Guangpinghou's residence will never intervene!"

This is a suggestion to draw a clear line with the two of them and completely expel them from the Hou Mansion.

Lu Xinyan finally said: "I believe that in this way, Mrs. Cai's anger will calm down a lot!"

"Zhuzhu is right! When something like this happened, Gongrou was the direct victim for grandma's sake. Mrs. Cai was angry and couldn't get angry. Over time, suspicions would arise! If grandma can take the initiative Propose a solution to save the face of the two governments, and then hand them over to her at her disposal, Madam Cai's anger will definitely dissipate seven or eight points..."

"When the news spreads that my grandmother is seriously ill because of this matter, Mrs. Cai's anger will be completely relieved, maybe she will miss her even more!" Lu Xinyan said, "And grandmother doesn't have to do it herself. I will still keep my resentment in my heart!"

Feng Shi nodded, then sighed again, "It's just Aunt Feng..."

"Grandmother, you allowed her to give birth to the fifth aunt and marry the fifth aunt to the fifth uncle, which is the most benevolent! If we don't handle this matter this time, the Wuyang Houfu will tear up with us in a fit of anger, and will kill us." It is possible for Wu Gu to divorce! By that time, the Marquis of Wuyang will turn against each other, who will be able to please her? If Aunt Feng is really good for Wu Gu, she should be persuaded to follow the rules, cultivate her morality, and fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and daughter-in-law. It is true to regain Madam Cai's favor!"

"Grandmother knows! Ah Ying, prepare the paper and ink!" Feng said: "Grandmother is now editing the book for Mrs. Cai, and write down the priorities. Zhuzhu, you help grandma take care of her eyes."

"Yes, grandma!"

After more than half an hour, the letter arrived at Wuyanghou's mansion.

When Mrs. Cai heard that it was a letter from the Guangping Marquis, the anger that had been calmed down rose again, "Don't read it! How dare you write a letter? Don't look at what daughter you have taught!"

The steward said: "This... I heard that the letter was written by Mrs. Gong herself, and the person who delivered the letter was waiting outside, saying that she will wait for your reply before going back!"

"Then let him wait!" Mrs. Cai said angrily.

Cai Yuanyu's sister-in-law, Mrs. Cai, wept, "Mother, my fourth brother was drugged and made such an ugly face in front of so many ladies from all over the world. How can he face others in the future? The ladies in our mansion will be poked every day in the future." Backbone, what do you say about others? And my sister-in-law finally regained the favor of Uncle Ge, and she is about to conceive a son-in-law. If the son-in-law is dissatisfied with her because of this matter, if the son-in-law is ruined, our Hou Mansion will..."

When Mrs. Cai entered the door, Cai Yuanyu was just two years old, and it was the time when Bingxue was cute. Mrs. Cai was so happy that she hugged and teased him from time to time. Later, she became a man in one fell swoop and gained a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion. She thought it was Cai Yuanyu's fault. Guang, these years almost regarded him as his own son.

"Okay, don't I know what you said?" Mrs. Cai said irritably, "Even if the fourth daughter-in-law is divorced, what if I let out a sigh of relief temporarily? Can the problem be solved? Maybe it's just a matter of fighting with the empress." The notoriety of kinship, bullying and bullying!"

Mrs. Cai wiped her tears and complained in a low voice: "Back then, my wife didn't allow the fourth younger brother to enter the house. A concubine who seduces his sister's fiancé, how good is his character? How can he be worthy of our fourth brother?"

"You have the nerve to say it! Flies don't bite seamless eggs! If Yuan Yu didn't have a firm heart and betrayed Jin girl, it would be Qing girl's turn to come in?" Mrs. Cai snorted, "It's all your fault for being brothers and sisters. Indulging him too much, a loving mother is a loser!"

Mrs. Cai muttered in a low voice: You still have a share!
The anger between the two of them made Mrs. Cai's anger calm down a lot, "Bring me the letter and let me have a look!"

The butler handed over the letter respectfully.

Mrs. Cai opened it and looked at it. At first, she was still angry, but slowly, the anger dissipated and turned into satisfaction, and finally, it turned into a sigh of pity, "This happened, Mrs. Gong is very sad. For anyone! After all, Yuan Yu is a man, and to put it bluntly, it is a romantic affair! The Guangping Marquis Mansion has been hit hard!"

Mrs. Cai saw that Mrs. Cai's demeanor had changed suddenly, and she was about to defend herself unconvinced. Mrs. Cai handed her the letter, "You can read it before you talk! It's just as you wish, and the matter of Yuan Yu's room will be discussed in the future. , I won’t interfere anymore, I will leave it to you, and you can do whatever you want, are you satisfied?”

After reading it, Mrs. Cai laughed through tears, "Daughter-in-law, thank you mother!"

"As soon as you are old, you can cry when you talk about it, and laugh when you talk about it, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!" Mrs. Cai gave her a white look, "Come here, send a message to Mrs. Gong, and say that you have received the letter. She does what she wants!"

"Yes!" The steward went on.

Mrs. Cai said: "Mother, you used to praise the old lady of the palace for being shrewd and never making mistakes, but my daughter-in-law still didn't believe it. This time, it seems that the daughter-in-law has to believe it. This old lady of the palace is really extraordinary!"

Mrs. Cai didn't answer the words, but she was thinking in her heart: I'm afraid that there is another expert behind this matter!
In her mind, a beautiful, bright and flamboyant face unconsciously floated up in her mind.

Madam Gong is so lucky!As long as that woman is there, the relationship between the two prefectures will never be broken!Madam Cai thought to herself.

"Come on, go to my warehouse and pick some good ginseng and bird's nests and send them to Mrs. Gong!"

-

Shizifu.

"Master, I'll go find Uncle Qin to show you!"

"No need, it's just Xiaofenghan!"

The little monkey said: "Master, did you accidentally catch the wind and cold when you went out last night? But I remember you put a fire pocket in your sleeve, why don't you use a fire pocket to light a fire to keep warm?"

"...forgot." Xiao Yichen said without changing his expression.

"Can you forget this? I really don't know how you survived the war before, so you can't take care of yourself!" The little monkey muttered.

Xiao Yichen turned a deaf ear, "Little monkey, let the kitchen cook some porridge! As for yourself, you can go wherever you want!"

What would that woman do when she found out that the Bingyu transmission was missing this morning?Will you suspect him?The corners of Xiao Yichen's lips could not help but curl up.

"Yes, master!" The little monkey ran away as soon as he heard that it was time to play.

"Remember to bring me the porridge yourself!"

"Understood!" The young master is serious, let the kitchen cook it and serve it directly, why do you have to let him deliver it?Is it because he is more handsome than the kitchen Aaron?
Oh, master, I would be ashamed of you, a little monkey!

Half an hour later, the little monkey came with porridge, dirty.

"Little monkey, where did you go just now?" Someone asked casually after taking a sip of porridge.

"I'm going to find Xiao He!"

"What are you playing? How did you get so dirty?"

"Mrs. Gong Shao is going to build up the collapsed wall. I just helped move the bricks!"

Build a wall?It seems that she guessed that he went to her room last night.

Xiao Yichen put down the spoon in his hand, "Go and have a look."

"Hey, young master, do you want to finish the porridge before going?" the little monkey called from behind.

"The porridge is a little hot, wait for it to cool before drinking." Someone's voice floated from the front.

"Hot? Impossible? I waited for it to be warm before serving it!" The little monkey stretched out his hand and touched the edge of the bowl, talking to himself, "It's obviously just warm, why did the young master say it's hot? It can't be true. Something is wrong with your brain? No, no, no matter what, I will invite Uncle Qin here tomorrow!"

Lu Xinyan waited for Mrs. Cai's reply with Feng's, then had lunch with her and talked with her, and waited for her to lie down for an afternoon rest before returning to the Pomegranate Yard.

Seeing the busy people coming in and out, Lu Xinyan was very satisfied, and went to the collapsed wall to see how the progress was.

The bricks were placed there, but before the laying started, when Lu Xinyan was about to leave, a cool and sweet voice came from the opposite side, "Madam Gong, please stay, Xiao has something to say to Madam Gong!"

It's really a narrow road!Lu Xinyan turned around and smiled perfunctorily, "Master Xiao, please advise!"

"Does Mrs. Gong know who ordered this wall to be built?"

"It's an order from the Emperor Shengzu!" The Emperor Shengzu was the founding emperor of Tianwu.

"Since Mrs. Gong Shao knew, why did she deliberately commit the crime when she knew she was guilty?"

"What do you mean?" This guy doesn't know that she let Qingtong destroy the wall at the beginning, so he wanted to use it to threaten her?
Xiao Yichen stroked the wall with his fingers, and said unhurriedly: "This wall is a gift from the ancestors of the past. It is extremely precious. Even if it is damaged in the past and needs to be repaired, you must ask the current emperor to send someone from the Ministry of Industry. Xiucai, when will ordinary people casually blaspheme him?"

The master bricklayer who was holding the bricks and was about to build them up, when he heard that the bricks in his hands fell to the ground immediately, he took two steps back in fright, and plopped on the ground, "Gong... Mrs. Gong, there are young ones, there are old ones, and there are young ones. I beg you to spare my little life! Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by this little one!"

Lu Xinyan snorted when she heard the words, what does this guy mean?To actually use such a high-sounding reason to prevent her from building the wall?

It seems that he really came to her room last night and took away the biography of Bingyu!

Lu Xinyan waved the crowd to back off, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked carefully at the person next door who was standing calmly.

Xiao Yichen put his hands behind his back, with a contented look, "There is one more thing, Xiao has to remind you."

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "If Xiao Shizi has anything to say, please finish it at once."

Xiao Yichen glanced at her lightly, and deliberately stayed on her hands for a moment, Lu Xinyan remembered what he said to store these hands temporarily, her wrists felt cold, and her hands retracted into her sleeves unconsciously.

"Mrs. Gong Shao, do you still remember what I said?"

Ok? "What? When did you say it?"

"Not long ago, the study."

What not so long ago, obviously yesterday!But what did she say yesterday?

…"Did you apply medicine to the wound on your shoulder? My maid, Bai Zhi, is good at medicine. I'll ask her to prepare some medicine for you tomorrow, so that you won't leave any scars."

"I saw that you didn't have a jade crown on your head this morning, but you accidentally lost it. How about I give you a jade crown as a thank you gift?"

"I came up with two new dishes in the past two days, one boiled fish and one pickled fish. I promise it's not spicy. Is Xiao Shizi interested in trying it?"...

"Ah!" Lu Xinyan yelled, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, "I'll go and ask Bai Zhi to make the medicine for you right now!"

This bumbling woman!Xiao Yichen's face darkened, and he shouted at Lu Xinyan who was about to leave: "What else?"

Lu Xinyan played dumb, "What else?"

Okay, dare to pretend to be stupid with him!Xiao Yichen laughed back angrily, and looked up at the sky, "It's cloudless today, so the moon will be fine again at night!"

Lu Xinyan's scalp went numb, "Xiao Yichen, what do you want to do?" You want to sneak into her room in the middle of the night, what's your morality?

Someone snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and walked away, giving Lu Xinyan a back view of her own experience!

Damn, this guy doesn't want to sneak into her room again in the middle of the night, does he?

No, sneaking in is a trivial matter. Will he take this temporary hand away in a fit of anger?
Cheapskate!What a cheapskate!I have never seen a man whose mind is smaller than the eye of a needle!
Lu Xinyan walked back angrily, while shouting: "Mother Cheng, go and buy a fish! And the chili from last time! I'm going to make boiled fish!"

Want to eat?See if it's spicy or not!
At this time, Mother Lu brought a post, "Miss, this is just from the concierge, saying that Ms. Shen Yuyan from the Shen residence invited you to attend the tea tasting party on the fifteenth day."

The tea tasting party on September [-]th was a garden poetry party held by a group of princes and ladies. According to the past practice, when the Huayi Festival was held that year, the poetry club would invite ten contestants who participated in the competition that year. Shen Yuyan As one of the persons in charge of the poetry club, it's really normal to send a post to invite Lu Xinyan.

However, Lu Xinyan knew Shen Yuyan's purpose, so she definitely wouldn't just invite her to participate, "Got it, Mother Lu."

It just so happens that she's in a bad mood right now!As soon as Gongqing and Gongrou were dealt with, Shen Yuyan sent it up by herself, which was really great, saving her from having to spend time making trouble for her!
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Lu Xinyan called Qingtong Baizhi, as well as Uncle Tian, ​​and Mr. Li went out of town for auditing.

"I need your help!" she said bluntly.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what she meant, Uncle Tian said: "Miss, if you have anything to ask, I will try my best to do it for you!"

"The three of you, including most of the people in the Zhuangzi, have received my mother's favor, so you will stay here to help me for the time being. When the time comes, you will leave, right?" Lu Xinyan said: "If you can stay, Of course I welcome you, but you have relatives, masters, brothers and brothers waiting for you, and I can't force you to stay with me for the rest of your life, so I hope you can help me complete one thing before you leave!"

"what's up?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Help me cultivate a group of forces, not because of my mother, but a group of forces that truly belong to me, Lu Xinyan! People have been cultivated, and no matter whether you leave or stay, see you in the future, They are also friends!"

"Miss, I need to discuss this matter with my eldest brother first." Uncle Tian said.

"Uncle Tian, ​​your elder brother is the owner of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. I understand whether the secrets of the internal operation of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets will be leaked! But," Lu Xinyan suddenly smiled at Uncle Tian, ​​which made Uncle Tian's scalp tingle. Yuena girl is [-] next year, it's time to talk about her, and I, as the master, should find her a good family."

Uncle Tian's face was slightly red, he coughed and did not answer her words, "Madam Lu is very kind to Tianji Pavilion, I believe my elder brother doesn't want to see her descendants in trouble and ignore it."

Lu Xinyan nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Zhi said: "Our Yinyaomen were forced to hide from the world a hundred years ago because we did not want to participate in the struggle for the change of imperial power. The disciples of Yinyaomen a hundred years ago are all over the world. As long as they are good-natured and talented, they can learn my Yinyaomen's medical skills. For the benefit of the common people! However, after I was born, because of a congenital illness, in order to prolong my life, my father searched everywhere for a good medicine, and put aside the responsibility of the hidden medicine sect. Now the young lady’s move is just a chance for me to make up for my father’s injustice. Sorry, I will do my part!"

"Benevolence and benevolence, you Yaoyinmen deserve it!" Lu Xinyan praised, "From now on, you will allocate 1000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials every year, and in the name of your Yinyinmen, you will treat the world's wounded and sick for free!"

There was such an open-minded person in ancient times, the creator of Yinyaomen, he really deserves to be a great master!
"I will benefit the people in the future, Miss Xie!" Bai Zhi knelt on the ground and solemnly kowtowed.

"Our Jiuyoumen has some martial arts that cannot be passed on to the outside world. Other than that, you can do anything else!" Qingtong said, "But miss, you need to find someone reliable to work for you. My master can introduce some good rangers. With Miss Generosity and generosity, I believe they will be willing!"

"That's great!" Lu Xinyan was overjoyed, "Then it's a deal!"

"Miss, do you have any other orders?"

Lu Xinyan said: "One more thing. On the night of the eighth day, I clearly heard Xiao He calling for help, so I chased after and almost caught Gong Yu's way! Uncle Tian, ​​help me find out about Gong Yu and the people around her! "

"Yes, ma'am."

"Is there any movement in the Buddhist hall?" Lu Xinyan asked.

Uncle Tian said: "Except for an old woman who goes to the Confucius Temple to pray for blessings every half a month, everything is normal."

Confucius Temple, Confucius Temple again!Ever since Gong Mei almost had an accident at the Confucius Temple, Lu Xinyan has never been very impressed with the Confucius Temple!
"Did you find anything unusual?"

Uncle Tian shook his head, "It is said that that nanny has had this habit for several years, going at the same time and returning at the same time, rain or shine."

Lu Xinyan said: "Keep staring, I don't believe what Madam did before, there is no one pointing behind her!"

"Yes, miss!"

"And the third lady, especially the fifth young master who goes back and forth to the school every day, secretly sent someone to watch! Such a big incident happened in the Hou's mansion, I'm afraid someone will take their anger on Sanfang!"

After Gong Xuan's secret was leaked, no matter whether it was to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble or to vent anger, accidents happened one after another to the people related to it. Now that several relatives of Gong Xuan had accidents, Lu Xinyan had to be careful.

At this time, Mother Cheng came to report, "Miss, I have bought fish and peppers, look..."

so annoying!Lu Xinyan's mood suddenly changed by half, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll do it now!"

In the ear room next door, Shu Yun, who was embroidering, looked at Lue Yue who came in and said, "Luo Yue, miss asked you to find Mr. Tian again?"

Lueyue's ears were reddish, she hummed lightly, picked up the half-packed soles on the table, and began to pack them up.

"Xiaoyue, do you want to betroth you to Mr. Tian?" Shu Yun said enviously, "You'll be fine. From then on, men can farm and women can weave, and get rid of the fate of being played by others."

"What nonsense are you talking about? A person like Mr. Tian is something we can't afford! Serving tea and water as a maid, maybe you will think that you have a bad background!" Lueyue glanced at Shuyun sideways.

Shu Yun stopped what she was doing, and said in disbelief, "What's wrong with your background? If our ancestors hadn't been implicated in crimes, we might still be ladies of the official family today. How can he be picky?"

"You said what if, there are no ifs in this world, only results!" Luaoyue kept his hands on his hands, "I am very satisfied with our current results, as for other things, don't think too much, Miss is so nice, as long as Serve us wholeheartedly, Miss will not treat us badly!"

"You, you are too resigned to your fate. If I hadn't pushed you back then, how would you have had the chance to bump into Mr. Tian and be bought by him?" Shu Yun giggled, "Speaking of which, you really are destined !"

Yue Yue blushed and fell silent.

The room was silent for a while, and after a while, the faint voice of combing the clouds sounded, "I know you are still brooding about your brother's matter, but Yueyue, we are just low-level maids, what can we do? You It's time to let go..."

At this time, the smell of chili peppers came, and the two of them coughed continuously, and tears were about to flow out. Shu Yun said: "Ahem, miss is making chili peppers again? Isn't it going to invite the Third Prince to a banquet again? Then Prince Xiao Good-looking is good-looking, but this taste is too strange, such a spicy thing, I can eat it without changing my face and heartbeat... Luaoyue, I really can't stand this spicy taste, let's go out to get some air!"

In the small kitchen, Lu Xinyan, who was wearing a mask, said to Xiao He who was standing outside the door with her nose covered: "Xiao He, go and call the little monkey, and say that I personally prepared a pot of boiled fish for his young master. Let him have a taste and give some advice!"
