Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 116 Invite Prince Xiao to Come to the Night Party
"Pa, pa, pa", three crisp applause accompanied by Lu Xinyan's melodious admiration sounded like a flute, "Aunt Sanbiao's imagination is really rich! If I have an affair with Xiao Shizi, if I want to kill him How could Xiao Shizi save him, send him back, and help catch the murderer dutifully?"

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed: To be clear, I'm not helping him catch the murderer, I'm helping you catch the murderer!
Lian's complexion changed, she was in a hurry, she just wanted to get rid of her eldest brother's suspicion, how could she have thought of so much?As a result, he was caught in a loophole all at once!
"Even if my speculation just now is wrong, my eldest brother has no reason to kill the prince!" She insisted on this point.

Lu Xinyan smiled, "Your elder brother has no reason, but you have!"

Those casual words, like a bomb, exploded in this already tense and inexplicable atmosphere, shaking the hearts of Feng's and the others.

"Zhuzhu, you... what do you mean?" Feng asked tremblingly.

Lian Shi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and screamed: "Zhuzhu, don't spout blood!"

"Aunt Third Cousin, the kit from your natal sister-in-law is not a safety talisman at all, but a note for sending a letter, right?" Lu Xinyan said with a half-smile, and then winked at Qingtong.

Qingtong quickly stretched out her hand, as fast as lightning, and took the sachet from Lian Shi's hand. Lian Shi who reacted quickly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Qingtong, wanting to snatch back her own sachet.

But she was not as quick as Qingtong, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and Qingtong handed the kit to Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan took the kit, took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and asked Feng: "Grandmother, did Zhuzhu read it out, or did you read it yourself?"

Feng's clasped hands trembled slightly, "Read!"

Lu Xinyan read out slowly word by word, "Sister: The incident was revealed, the prince was rescued, the assassin was arrested, so be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Lian Shi, who had been holding on all the time, finally fell to the ground as if his bones had been ripped out of his body.

After hearing this, Jiang rushed to Lian's side like a madman, rode on her, scratched and bit her, and roared, "Why? Why did you kill me, Yu'er? Why? How could I not be kind to you? After being in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, when did you lose your three houses, one penny and one meal? When did you bully Jianer and Qianer by a penny? Why? Why?"

Lian hugged her head and shrunk into a ball without saying a word. It was not until Jiang was out of breath from exhaustion that Feng motioned for Nanny Sun to pull Jiang away.

Feng suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth, and questioned word by word: "Third nephew, the same thing, I also want to ask you, my eldest daughter-in-law and I, how can I feel sorry for you, you want to send someone to kill Yu'er, absolutely Empress of my first wife?!"

Lian's hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled into dried vegetables, and scratches were faintly visible on his face.

Just now, Jiang's action was too fast, and she didn't react for a while because of guilt, and was directly stunned by Jiang's.

Now that Feng Shi asked, she began to cry, "Sister-in-law, auntie, I don't know what you are talking about? I don't know why there is such a note in the kit, I am wronged." , woo woo..."

In short, you can't admit it even if you kill it. If you admit it, there is only one dead end!Lian firmly held onto this belief in his heart.

"Grandmother," Lu Xinyan said leisurely, "there was a rich man, everyone knew he was rich, and he was very envious. One day, he took a hundred taels of silver notes to the street, and the sachet containing the silver notes rotted. He took the bank note in his hand, and guess what will happen?"

Feng's face changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"Of course they will be snatched away!" Lu Xinyan asked and answered, "There is an old saying that wealth should not be exposed, and there is another saying that people make money and birds die for food. If that person's banknotes are always hidden on their body, everyone will envy them." I don't know how to do anything, but he put the banknote in his hand, shaking the deepest badness in the depths of human nature, and the banknote will be snatched away!"

Feng Shi trembled slightly, "You mean, because the grandmother divided the management of the house between the second niece and the third niece, so the third niece became greedy?"

"Grandmother, you have a firm heart and a high moral character. You keep your promise to keep the dowry for me without being moved at all, but how many people like you are there in this world?" Lu Xinyan said: "The head of the family just lured three The most important thing is the tip of the iceberg that the aunt's heart is greedy for, and the most important thing is that she and the second aunt are fighting for the right to take over the house. Unexpected death, both the third cousin and the second cousin thought it was the grandmother or Lord Hou!
The second cousin became wary of the big house, and stayed in her own courtyard behind closed doors to pass along, while the third cousin was worried that one day she would accidentally offend her grandmother or Lord Hou and be killed secretly, so she simply decided to act first!Later, the third cousin led a team to Lanying Mountain Villa. The fourth aunt ruined her reputation, the second sister disfigured her face, the third sister lost her body, and the big house was damaged one after another. The third cousin planned the murder decisively in order to avoid long nights and dreams. case! "

So to get to the bottom of it, is it all because of my own selfishness, fearing that after handing over the stewardship to Zhuzhu, the Jiang family will not be able to take it back in the future, and made the bad policy of letting the second and third households share the management, which led to the bad results?Feng's heart was in great pain. The last time Gong Xuan's secret was leaked, she already regretted it immensely, and now this incident made her regret it even more!

The Jiang family was wrong, but if they said that they were wholeheartedly planning for Gongxuan's father and daughter, and for the future of the Hou Mansion, apart from herself, only the Jiang family was left, so she was confused for a moment and took this bad move, which led to today's Bitter fruit!

It really is a wrong step, wrong step!
Lu Xinyan has been secretly paying attention to Feng Shi's spirit. Seeing that her expression is gloomy at this time, knowing that she is distracted by guilt, she winks at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi brought a cup of tea, took out a Qingxin Pill, and handed it to Feng Shi to take it.

Feng Shi glanced at Lu Xinyan with a complicated expression.

Here Lian hurriedly defended, "You...you are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have? These days, except for the day at Lanying Villa, I have never been out of the Hou's residence, and no one from my mother's family has ever visited me. How can I plan with my big brother?"

Lu Xinyan smiled faintly, "Aunt Sanbiao, I just said that you planned this murder, but I didn't say that you conspired with your elder brother to plan it? What Aunt Sanbiao said just now is clearly suspected of being self-inflicted!"

Lian's complexion changed suddenly, "The assassin said it was my elder brother earlier, but now you say it was me, doesn't that mean that I conspired with my elder brother? If you don't mean it, and I misunderstood it, please take it." Come out with evidence that I killed the son, if there is no evidence, it will be a false accusation!"

Lu Xinyan said: "The third cousin found out why the fourth sister and sixth brother were murdered, and the seventh sister fell ill within two days. Xiao Xiaofenghan has been ill for several days and never recovered. She even asked me to take Bai Zhi to check the pulse of the seventh sister. And deliberately hinted that the seventh sister secretly poured the medicine because she thought the medicine was bitter, so she couldn't get better. But what you don't know is that the third cousin told me that the medicine was not bitter at all, and she didn't pour it No, Seventh Sister has always been well-behaved and sensible. It is said that she has been ill since she was a child. She has never heard of her crying because of taking medicine. At that time, I thought it was strange.

Thinking about it now, during the period when the seventh sister was ill, the third cousin’s natal family gave Qimei sister supplements and gadgets every day, and the third cousin also gave her natal family some gifts in return every day. The note is like a note, hidden in a gift box, you can hide it without anyone noticing it. This time it is the same after returning from Lanying Mountain Villa. The third cousin caught a cold when she came back, and your mother’s family sent medicine and supplements home every day. Then the third cousin sent some gifts in return, using this method to communicate with each other, and then the third cousin borrowed the name of asking Bai Zhi to feel the pulse, and acted pitifully in front of me, asking me to help you buy red bean cakes on the fifteenth day, and took the opportunity to push the crime to the court. on my head. "

As soon as Lu Xinyan finished speaking, another pleasant and cold voice sounded, "The news about Gong Shizi's stay at the Laifu Inn was leaked to Master Lian by an assassin, and the contents of the note that the third lady received just now are also the same. More than an hour ago, Xiao had someone notify Lord Lian! The purpose is to catch the real mastermind behind the scenes!"

Lu Xinyan continued: "If the son is unfortunately killed, the title of son of the Hou family will fall on the fifth and sixth brothers. The sixth brother is the second wife, but younger, and the fifth brother is the third wife, but the elder. Everyone has the potential to become the next heir!
However, because of the matter of the fourth younger sister and sixth younger brother, the second cousin was still as frightened as a bird at this time, and did not even dare to have the idea of ​​grabbing the position of the son. In this way, the fifth younger brother would be able to obtain the title of the eldest son and inherit the title of the Marquis Mansion. industry!At that time, the third cousin will really have no worries!It would be even better if this crime could be placed on me. When I am dismissed from the house, my third cousin can still receive my dowry. "

Her bright eyes moved lightly to Lian's body, and she smiled slightly, "Auntie Third, am I wrong? If you still don't admit it, I still have witnesses."

She clapped her hands lightly, "Nurse Fang, come in and talk."

The timid Fang Nunnies came in with her head shrunk, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground as soon as she came in, she didn't even dare to look at Lian Shi, "I have seen the old madam, the madam, the third madam, the eldest son, the young madam."

At this point, Lian Shi finally realized that she was completely defeated. She pointed at Fang Nai and said sadly: "Mom, you are my nanny, I trust you so much, how can you..."

Mother Fang didn't dare to raise her head, she lay on the ground and muttered: "Third Madam, this servant is timid, if such a harmful thing is not done, the whole family of this servant will suffer! This servant has no other thoughts in his life, only thinking about his family It's enough to grow old in peace, I'm sorry, Third Madam."

In this situation, Feng's Jiang's Miyata Yu, why should I ask anything, what is there that I don't understand?
"Aying, go and call the third master!" Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, old lady."

After Sun Nanny left, Feng Shi said to Xiao Yichen: "Xiao Shizi, you are really laughing at the fact that such a scandal has happened in the Hou family! Today's matter is thanks to Xiao Shizi. After the matter is resolved, I will personally come to thank you! "

This is a way of seeing off guests.

Xiao Yichen said: "Old Madam Gong, don't be polite! Madam Gong is highly respected. The Guangping Marquis Mansion is the pillar of the imperial court. As the Zuo Lang General of the Imperial Forest Army, Xiao is the royal salary, so he should be the emperor's worry! Your health is not good, please help Rest, take care of your health! Xiao will leave first, and I will come to bother you another day!"

Feng Shi stood up, "The mansion is full of female relatives, so it's inconvenient to send them off, I'm rude, Mr. Xiao, go slowly!"

"Old Madam, you don't need to be too polite." Xiao Yichen cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, take your leave!"

He nodded lightly, glanced at Lu Xinyan unintentionally, then turned and left.

As soon as Qinglang's figure left, it seemed to take away all the splendor in the room.

The Feng family sighed secretly, the town government's mansion, I'm afraid it will do a lot in the future!
She looked at Miyata Yu who was lying on her couch again, compared to this, her grandson really couldn't compare with anyone else's finger, and couldn't help but worry even more about the future of the Guangping Marquis Mansion.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you take Yu'er back, Zhuzhu, you also leave first."

Seeing her expression, Lu Xinyan said worriedly: "Grandmother, Zhuzhu asked Baizhi to stay here."

Feng smiled, patted the back of her hand and said, "No need, grandma can hold on, don't worry, go back first."

"Then what's the matter, grandma will send someone to look for Zhuzhu at any time." Lu Xinyan said.

"understood."

After lifting the curtain and coming out, I realized that the sky was already dark before I knew it. The lanterns hanging under the eaves were blown left and right by the wind. The orange light accompanied by the cold and bright moon created a sense of desolation for no reason.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the fallen leaves floated all over the sky. The cold wind penetrated through the neckline, and Lu Xinyan couldn't help but sneezed.

"Miss, put on the cloak." Bai Zhi put the cloak on her body at the right time, and Lu Xinyan felt warmer immediately.

"The weather in late autumn is getting really fast. It's going to be cold in a blink of an eye. Let's go back soon!"

Back at the Pomegranate Yard, Madam Cheng brought three bowls of ginger tea. After Lu Xinyan drank it, she said to Qingtong: "Qingtong, go tell Uncle Tian that he send someone to protect Gong Jian! Second Cousin's last time However, if you leaked the secret of Master Hou, you will suffer such revenge. This time, the third cousin attacked the eldest son and almost killed him. Those who hide in the dark will definitely not let the fifth brother and the seventh sister go. Uncle Tian, ​​be more careful, and make sure you catch them alive! As for the seventh sister, I would like to trouble you, Qingtong, to be more considerate."

Qingtong did not leave immediately like before, but said: "Miss, Uncle Tian is burdened with too many things by himself now, the newly recruited person can't help you for the time being, and the person introduced by my master will have to wait a little longer." The day will come! So, can I ask Shizi Xiao for help in protecting Fifth Young Master?"

Lu Xinyan thought for a while, and she owed a lot of favors anyway, and the debt is not too heavy, "It's okay, you talk to the little monkey."

"Miss, it's better for you to come forward in person." Miss, are you being too casual with Prince Xiao?Ask someone to help and just let a boy pass it on?At any rate, he is also the heir of Duke Zhenguo, General Zuo Lang of the fifth-rank Imperial Forest Army. You treat him like your own servant, and you come and go as soon as you call!Qingtong couldn't help but slander.

Lu Xinyan didn't know what Qingtong was thinking, but for some reason, she didn't want to see that person, but now is not the time to act emotionally, the important thing is business.

"Then you go and tell the little monkey that I have something to ask Shizi Xiao, and ask if he is free?"

"Yes, miss." Time was running out, Qingtong didn't stay, and left in response.

Lu Xinyan thought for a while, "Bai Zhi, ask Madam Cheng to prepare some pastries, drinks, and two blankets. I will entertain Xiao Shizi in this yard."

"Miss," Bai Zhi blinked curiously, "Are you sure that Prince Xiao will definitely come?"

Lu Xinyan glared at her, "Do you know how to help people? Hurry up, don't waste your time!"

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, Miss!"

After Xiao Yichen in the study listened to the little monkey's conveyance, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting, "Let her come..., little monkey, let's go."

He originally wanted to ask her to come to the study of Shizi Mansion, but after thinking about it, it was really wrong. It would be fine to take her to the study when he met outside, but now she is in his own yard, how could he let her come here?Make it like a private meeting.

(Speaking as if you always go there in person, it's not like a private meeting.)
Xiao Yichen stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked briskly, and walked towards the pomegranate yard very leisurely.

The little monkey walking behind looked at the crescent-colored sleeve gown bulged by the night wind, and couldn't help scratching his head: Why does the young master feel so light when he walks tonight?

To show her sincerity, Lu Xinyan stood at the collapsed wall, waiting for Xiao Yichen.

Seeing Mo's graceful figure from a distance, Xiao Yichen felt satisfied again.

Seeing him approaching, Lu Xinyan saluted very politely, "Xiao Shizi."

The posture is beautiful, the attitude is correct, exactly what someone once asked to look like, stick to one's duty, follow the rules.

But this appearance of intimacy made Xiao Yichen suddenly feel a little unhappy, "Lu...you don't need to be polite, Mrs. Gong Shao."

He brushed past Lu Xinyan with a flick of his hand, the displeasure in his tone was not obvious but not suppressed.

Lu Xinyan asked the little monkey with her eyes: what's the matter with your young master?It was quite normal when he left the Hou's Mansion before, but it took only half an hour after he returned, how can he change his face when he changes his face?
The little monkey spread his arms, expressing that he didn't know.

He also felt strange in his heart that the young master was still light and airy when he came, but when he came, he suddenly put on a face, making people bewildered.

Lu Xinyan took two quick steps, walked in front of Xiao Yichen, and led him to the reclining chair. The reclining chair had been adjusted into the shape of a sitting chair, and a snow-white Persian blanket was spread on it due to the cooler weather.

A smile appeared on her lips, "Xiao Shizi, please sit down."

Xiao Yichen hummed, and sat opposite Lu Xinyan.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a sharp voice, "There are thieves! There are thieves!"

With this cry, Qingtong Baizhi and the others were attracted. Originally, they all stayed in their own room for fear that Xiao Yichen would feel uncomfortable.

"Little Tail, what are you yelling about?" Xiao He muttered quietly, "Last time I called out a thief in the middle of the night, and people stayed up all night. This time it's Mr. Xiao, what are you yelling about? Call me tomorrow again." Hungry you."

The little tail cried angrily: This bird didn't bark, he is a thief!

Lu Xinyan coughed twice, and when she saw someone's face turned dark, she said loudly: "Little Tail is barking out of boredom, nothing to do, go back to the room to rest!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little monkey winking at Xiao He, and said, "Nurse Cheng, Xiao He, take the little monkey to the small kitchen for something to eat."

The little monkey was overjoyed, and ran over automatically before Xiao He came to invite him.

Soon, all the doors and windows of the pomegranate courtyard were closed, only the lanterns under the eaves remained, and the two people in the courtyard, the parrot Xiaowei who disturbed people just now was also taken away by a certain eye-catching person, Bai Zhi.

"Xiao Shizi," Lu Xinyan poured a glass of wine for him with her own hands, and said bluntly, "I invite you over tonight, because I have something to ask for your help."

The glazed eyes fell on the white jade hand holding the pot, and someone said casually, "Say it."

"I want to temporarily borrow two experts from you to secretly protect a person for me." When Lu Xinyan noticed that his eyes were not on her, but on those hands, she kept her hands on the pot handle.

She rubbed the handle of the pot unconsciously with her fingers, "As for the reward, Xiao Shizi just ask."

Xiao Yichen's eyes dimmed, but his voice sank, "Mrs. Gong Shao thinks that Xiao is short of money?"

Lu Xinyan quietly raised her eyelids, "Of course Mr. Xiao is not short of money, but for business, it's better to pay for both goods and money. We can't let Mr. Xiao suffer in vain."

"Business?" Xiao Yichen's face was ashen, and his whole body was suddenly frighteningly cold, "You want to treat the favor you owe Xiao as a business and pay it off with silver?"

He stood up angrily, "Farewell!"

"Hey! Don't leave!" Who would leave if there was a disagreement?What a child!Lu Xinyan slandered secretly, but hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

She really used money to repay Xiao Yichen's favor, that's why she spoke probing words, who would have thought that this noble and intelligent guy could hear what he meant immediately, and as if he had been greatly insulted, he would turn his back when he said it.

The sleeve was pulled, Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, but he didn't shake it off.

Lu Xinyan curled her lips secretly, with a beautiful smile on her face, and said softly: "Xiao Shizi, I'm just making a suggestion. If you don't like paying with money, then change it to your favorite method."

A certain person's complexion improved a bit, but he still stood and refused to sit down.

Lu Xinyan shook his sleeves and coaxed softly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

Xiao Yichen pursed his lips tightly and his face was expressionless, but he took advantage of the situation and sat down.

Lu Xinyan secretly rolled her eyes: This uncle is really hard to serve!If it weren't for the fact that this girl is not short of manpower, why bother to beg you like this?

She muttered a few words in her heart, picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of pastry on Xiao Yichen's plate, "Xiao Shizi, this is for entertaining you, I specially ordered someone to make the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it is neither sweet nor greasy, Xiao Shizi give it a treat Face to taste."

As soon as he heard a few words specially ordered, the air-conditioning around Xiao Yichen quickly dissipated, he picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with admiration, and ate it gracefully with the dignified posture of a son of an aristocratic family.

After eating one piece, he finally opened his mouth, "That's right, let's have another piece."

Lu Xinyan pushed the whole plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in front of him, smiling like a flower, "Xiao Shizi likes to eat more."

Someone looked up at her, but put down his chopsticks instead of doing anything.

Didn't you say you love to eat?What does it mean?Lu Xinyan blinked, and suddenly understood, did he want to pinch him?

Don't you have hands?Want to use her immediately?Pooh!

She pretended not to understand, showing surprise, "Didn't Xiao Shizi say he still wanted to eat? Why did you put down your chopsticks?"

Xiao Yichen looked at her, then at her hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, "There is a 'hand' to serve you, why do you need to do it yourself?"

Lu Xinyan bit her secretly, and continued to smile, "Whether there is such a 'hand' in the future, Xiao Shizi will not do it, and wait to serve?"

No answer, that is the default.

This guy!Do you really think she is his private servant?Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes, put another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on his plate, mopped her cheeks with her hands, stared at Xiao Yichen, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Then dare to ask Mr. Xiao, if one day you have to urinate urgently Solve it in a timely manner, and when I happen to be at the side, do you want this 'hand' to help?"

"Pfft!" Xiao Yichen spewed out all the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that Xiao Yichen had just eaten, Lu Xinyan had a foresight, and covered her face with her sleeve after she finished asking.

Although there was nothing wrong with his face, the pastry sprayed on his sleeves was quite disgusting. Lu Xinyan glanced at it with disgust, "Just kidding, why did Shizi Xiao react so much?"

joke?Can this kind of joke be messed up?Xiao Yichen was trembling with anger, thinking of what the woman in front of him said, the feeling of being touched somewhere in the cave that day instantly hit his heart, and the blood in his whole body rushed towards a certain place uncontrollably.

He was so embarrassed and annoyed that he didn't know what to do. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it without even thinking about it. As a result, his body, which was already parched, felt even more like being roasted on a fire.

"Shameless!" He gritted his teeth and threw down a few words before jumping up, and the crescent-colored figure had already floated to the side of the collapsed wall.

Lu Xinyan didn't expect a word to provoke him to leave, although she did it on purpose.

She quickly ran to the collapsed wall and said loudly, "Hey, how about borrowing someone?"

The figure of Crescent Moon disappeared very quickly, and there was a voice of someone gnashing their teeth in the wind, "...to arrange tomorrow."

so far so good!Lu Xinyan patted her chest, finally the business was not messed up!
But this guy is so fast, it seems that he was just talking about leaving at the beginning, otherwise how could he be grabbed by his sleeve?

Xiao Yichen returned to Qin Garden as quickly as possible, "Little monkey, prepare water for bathing! Cold water!"

No one responded.

It was only then that he remembered that the little monkey was still in the pomegranate yard. When he thought of the pomegranate yard, he thought of the words that the woman put her hands on her cheeks and said with a smile. When he thought of the scene in those words, his body was so hot that he directly opened his clothes. .

"Come here, prepare cold water!" He drank again, and immediately responded in the darkness: "Yes, young master!"

Xiao Yichen took a cold shower here, while Lu Xinyan happily went to the small kitchen, "Little Monkey, your young master is gone, you should go back too."

"Leaving?" The little monkey was stuffing the pastry in his mouth, he opened his mouth in surprise, and the pastry shattered, "Why didn't the young master call me when he was leaving?"

These two masters and servants are really alike!Lu Xinyan brushed off the pastry crumbs that Xiao Yichen had sprayed on her sleeves, "Maybe there is something urgent, I forgot it for a while."

The little monkey swallowed the pastry vigorously in dissatisfaction, "Then I'm leaving, Mrs. Gong Shao, Xiao He, goodbye, Madam Cheng, thank you for the pastry, it's delicious."

"Come here often after you like to eat, and Mammy will make it for you." Mammy Cheng had an aunt smile on her face the whole time.

-

Today, September [-]th, is the day when Gong Rou marries Cai Yuanyu of the Marquis of Wuyang as his wife.

When Feng woke up early in the morning, she saw Aunt Feng rarely wearing crimson red, and only remembered it after she reminded her.

Thinking of Gongrou's actions and the private agreement with Mrs. Cai, Feng waved his hand, "Okay, let her not come to see her, let's go."

Aunt Feng said in a soft voice: "Old Madam, Miss San is getting married today. Because of the sudden incident, she will not entertain any guests, but she is always the young lady of the Hou Mansion and has been married to you for many years. Would you like to call the masters of the Qi Mansion to gather together?" Let's have a meal together, put some makeup on for Miss San, and see her off?"

Feng opened her mouth and sneered, "It's useless for me and Ah Jin to love her for so many years, but she did this to Ah Jin, disgracing my Guangping Marquis. In my heart, I have long stopped treating her as a People from the Gong family! Today, instead of letting her choose to commit suicide, I sent her to the Marquis Mansion as a flat wife. This is the last of my family affection! From now on, I don’t want to see her again! This Guangping Marquis Mansion has nothing to do with her Don't matter!"

"Old madam!" Aunt Feng whispered, her usually gentle face rarely showing disbelief, "You mean...you want to sever ties with the third lady? Then Qinger...the fifth girl..."

It was Gong Qing and Gong Rou who conspired to frame Gong Jin that day. The Feng family even wanted to sever ties with their own granddaughter, let alone a concubine who didn't crawl out of her belly?

Aunt Feng quickly fell on the ground, "Old Madam, it's the fifth girl who is wrong, it's the concubine's lack of discipline, please see the old lady, for the sake of my concubine's dedicated service for many years, forgive the fifth girl this time, please? For the rest of my life, I am willing to use it all to atone for the fifth girl!"

After the Lanying Villa incident happened, the Feng family followed Lu Xinyan's suggestion and reached an agreement with Mrs. Cai in private, and informed Aunt Feng who had been kneeling in the courtyard all day and night, but at that time the Feng family only told Aunt Feng to marry Gong Rou In the past, when she was an ordinary wife, Gong Qing was still the first wife, and she didn't tell her that she had already decided in her heart to sever ties with the two of them.

"Aunt Feng, I've made up my mind, so you don't need to say any more. As long as Qing'er doesn't make mistakes in the future, I believe the Marquis of Wuyang will not treat her badly!"

Mrs. Feng signaled Nanny Sun to help Aunt Feng, "Go down, Rou'er is going to put on makeup and I won't stop you, but if you go, tell her that she doesn't have to come, and I won't see you when you come she!"

-

Gong Rou was wearing the bright red wedding gown that she sewed for several days and nights, sitting on the bed full of joy, blushing, looking forward to a bright future.

"Miss San, Aunt Feng is here to see you." Mi'er called out calmly from outside.

"Please come in." Unexpectedly, Aunt Feng was the first person in the mansion to come to see her!

Gong Rou is dull and boring, but today is her day of great joy, everyone who comes is a guest, so they should greet each other with a smile, so as not to fall into bad luck.

"I've met the third lady." Aunt Feng politely saluted. Although she is an elder, she is a concubine. Even though Gong Rou is a concubine, she is also a decent young lady of the Hou family.

"Aunt Feng, please take a seat." Gong Rou said with a smile, "You are interested, you are the first one here today."

Aunt Feng sat at the bottom as she said, with gentle eyes, she looked carefully at Gong Rou, and praised: "Miss San is so beautiful today, even more beautiful than the fairies in the sky."

Gong Rou has always recognized that she looks good, and today she has dressed up carefully, she feels that she is as beautiful as a peach and plum, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and her smile is really three points, "Thank you, Aunt Feng, for the compliment."

Aunt Feng took out a kit from her sleeve and put it in Gong Rou's hands, "Miss San, this is a little thought I have accumulated over the years, please accept it."

Gong Rou thought of a helpless aunt who lived on the small amount of money every month. Part of the saved money was given to Gong Qing, and part was kept for self-defense. This money for makeup must be very limited. I don't take it very seriously.

But since he has his heart, Gong Rou will not accept it, "Thank you, Aunt Feng."

Aunt Feng looked at her tenderly for a while, and said: "Miss San, after you get married, you will be a member of the Marquis of Wuyang. You must remember to follow the rules and regulations, respect your superiors and respect your inferiors, and live in harmony with others. You must please Cai more." The old lady and Mrs. Cai are happy..."

Gong Rou couldn't help becoming impatient with such preachy words, thinking to herself that you are a concubine, what right do you have to dictate to Miss Ben?

Aunt Feng is still persuading, "Serve your husband well with all your heart, give birth to a child as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, between you and the fifth girl..."

"Enough!" Gong Rou's face turned cold in an instant, "I thought you were kind enough to add makeup to me, but it turned out that you were just telling me not to compete with your daughter for favor! What kind of respect is there for the superior and the inferior, and live in harmony, which woman doesn't want to monopolize the favor? That's enough, let's go! Today is my good day, I don't want to spoil my good mood!"

Aunt Feng wanted to persuade again, "Miss San, this concubine is not only for Miss Wu, but also for you, Miss San!"

"Aren't you bothered?" Gong Rou put the sachet back into Aunt Feng's hand and pushed her out of the door.

If you give such a small amount of money, you will put on the spectrum of the elders, who cares?
"Miss San! Miss San!" Aunt Feng yelled a few times outside, Gong Rou didn't bother to answer at first, and then said directly: "Mi'er, drive her away, don't let her block other people from the house!"

"Yes, Miss San." Mi'er replied angrily, "Aunt Feng, I'm sorry, please go back."

After Aunt Feng whispered a few more words outside, she finally lost her voice.

At this time the door opened, Gong Rou thought it was someone who came to put makeup on her, straightened her clothes, looked up and saw it was Mi'er, "Why is it you?"

"Isn't it the servant girl who does the third lady think?" After getting along with a man, this brain is also broken, who do you think will come to see her?Mi'er rolled her eyes, "Aunt Feng begged my servant to hand it over, and this servant is here, do you want it or not!"

After putting the sachet just now on the table, Mi'er twisted her waist and went out.

Gong Rou was so angry that she tore the handkerchief again and again, and the mandarin ducks embroidered on it were torn out of shape, good little hoof, I will definitely make you look good after you go to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion!I will let you go today!

After taking a few deep breaths, she let out the stale air in her chest, and waited quietly for the next person to add makeup to her.

When she fell asleep and took a few naps, there was still no movement at the door.

Gong Rou is restless, why hasn't anyone come yet?Could it be that something major has happened in the mansion? "Mi'er..."

She was about to ask Mi'er to inquire about it, but Mi'er had already opened the door and came in, and said coldly: "Miss San, the sedan chair from Wuyanghou's residence is here, please come out."

This is it?What about her dowry?What about the people in the mansion adding makeup to her? "Why don't you see the person adding makeup?" Gong Rou couldn't help asking.

"Miss San, if you do such a thing, who will add makeup for you?" Mi'er sneered.

"You...you lowly servant girl, when will it be your turn to talk about this lady?" Gong Rou finally broke out, "When I go to the Wuyanghou Mansion, I will be the first to deal with you!"

"Miss San, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to punish your servants."

Gong Rou was startled, "What do you mean?"

"Because this servant does not go to the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion with you!" Mi'er looked like an idiot.

"How is it possible? You are my personal servant girl. If you don't want to go with me, who will go with me?" Gong Rou didn't want to believe it.

"Miss San, go alone!"

"I'm going alone?" Gong Rou said in disbelief, "I am the third young lady of Guangping Hou's mansion, married to Wuyang Hou's mansion as a flat wife, how could it be possible that I don't even have a personal maid? Don't fool me!"

Mi'er shook her head, "Miss San, don't you understand the current situation? You and Miss Fifth are planning to kill Miss Fourth, and the old lady has already given up on you! You are not Madam's own, Madam is eager to give you a share of the dowry." If I don’t give it to you, now that the old lady has given up on you, how can the lady prepare a dowry for you?”

Gong Rou's face turned pale, "No! Impossible! There are regulations on the dowry when a young lady of the Hou Mansion gets married. Even if the mother doesn't prepare wholeheartedly, it is absolutely impossible not to prepare at all!"

Mi'er rolled her eyes, "Miss San has nothing to do if she doesn't believe in slaves, the sedan chair of Marquis Wuyang's Mansion is still waiting outside, please come out quickly, so as not to miss the auspicious time!"

"I'm going to see my grandmother!" Gong Rou rushed out.

Mi'er stopped her, with a smirk on her face, "Miss San, the old lady told you that I won't see you, and told you to go out directly! Besides, the nun sent by the Wuyanghou Mansion said that the sedan chairs in the Wuyanghou Mansion don't wait for anyone. If the auspicious time is delayed, she will let the bearers go back, and then you can walk or climb by yourself, or even go or not, it's up to you!"

"I was married as an ordinary wife, not a concubine, why is it only a nanny who came to greet me, and how about Mr. Cai Si?" Gong Rou asked in disbelief.

Mi'er shrugged her shoulders, "Miss San asked the servant, who did the servant ask?"

There is no dowry, and the person who came is a nanny, how will she gain a foothold in the Wuyanghou Mansion after she gets married?Gong Rou held back her anger, "Did Madam order you to stop those who come to put on makeup outside?"

Mi'er chuckled, laughing so that Gong Rou's face burst into heat, "Third Miss, the son was injured a few days ago and was recovering from illness, so he didn't have time to come over, Second Miss had a forehead injury and didn't want to go out, so there's no need to talk about Fourth Miss and Young Madam , you have harmed them many times, it is strange that they will come! The second wife has not gone out for a long time because of the matter of the fourth young lady and the sixth young master. Thinking about it? Aunt Feng's visit today has exceeded my servant's expectations, and you are still naively thinking about other people?"

Gong Rou's face turned red and white, she had indeed naively imagined their makeup, especially Lu Xinyan's!They thought that they would look at the face of her leaving the mansion, and represent the face of Miss Hou's mansion after she went out, and temporarily let go of their prejudices and put on a superficial appearance, so as not to be laughed at by outsiders and lose face of Guangping Hou's mansion. …

"Aren't they afraid that outsiders will laugh at our Hou Mansion?" Gong Rou asked through gritted teeth.

"Outsiders? How can there be any outsiders today?" Mi'er said: "Besides, the face of our Hou Mansion has already been lost by Miss San in Lanying Villa. What face is there to lose?"

"Aren't there any guests in the mansion?" Gong Rou changed his face again.

She was detained in the courtyard to embroider the wedding dress, and she didn't know anything about what happened in the Hou's mansion these days!
Mi'er said impatiently: "Miss San, this servant will finish talking to you once, so that you don't have to ask again and again! There are no guests in the mansion, and the masters are busy with their own affairs, so I don't have time to talk to you. You are getting married today, and there is no dowry. Maid girl, you have nothing but your own things! Can you go out now? When the sedan chair of the Wuyanghou Mansion leaves, you will be the one who will be ashamed!"

"No!" Gong Rou took two steps back, she was wearing a bright red wedding dress, but her whole face became paler, "How could this be?"

Aunt Feng's make-up, which she disdains, is actually her only dowry!
"Should I go? If I don't go, I can go! After sending you out, the servant has other work to do!"

Gong Rou covered her head unwillingly, and walked out of the room with Mi'er's support.

As I was walking, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. This is not the way to the gate. Gong Rou lifted her hijab, "Why did you take me this way? The gate is over there!"

"The sedan chair of the Marquis of Wuyang is waiting at a side door!"

Gong Rou's eyes widened, "I'm a flat wife, not a concubine..."

"Miss San, stop talking nonsense with your servant, okay? This servant is just a servant who doesn't know anything, and the servant will do what the master tells you!" Mi'er let go of her hand and said impatiently: "If Miss San If you can't trust the servants, and think that the servants are obedient and disobedient, then you can go wherever you want, and what happens, don't rely on the slaves in the end."

Gong Rou was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and she was afraid that she would really miss the auspicious time by walking around, so she could only hold back her anger, "Lead the way!"

Mi'er led her to a small side door that Gong Rou had never been to. The place was heavily powdered, but it still couldn't cover up the disgusting strong stench trapped inside.

"Where is this?" Gong Rou asked while covering her nose.

Mi'er covered her nose and replied: "This is the side door of the mansion where Ye Xiang and swill are poured out!"

Gong Rou was so angry that she almost fell down, her delicate and bright water eyes gradually turned red, she was too deceptive!It's really deceiving!If she surrenders in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion in the future, she must avenge today's revenge!
The side door was opened, and Gong Rou went out. An ordinary and simple upholstered sedan chair was placed on the ground, and two bearers and a nanny in ordinary clothes stood there.

When Mammy saw her, she looked her up and down disdainfully, "Since you're here, get on the sedan chair, you've been lingering for so long, you have to hurry up on the road. Oh, what the hell, it stinks!"

She waved the handkerchief in front of her nose, and opened the curtain casually, "Little madam, please."

"That's it...a broken sedan chair?" Gong Rou was so angry that he couldn't speak, the red paint on the sedan chair was all off, the sedan chair curtain was filthy, and the stools inside were pitch-black.

The nanny snorted, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Do you dislike it? Then the servant girl will go back and report directly to the old lady. It's not that the servant girl is not doing her job well, it's that the young lady dislikes the broken sedan chair sent by our Wuyang Hou Mansion, and she doesn't want to get on the sedan chair. The servant girl just My servant, you can't force the little lady into the sedan chair, please ask the old lady to send someone else."

Gong Rou was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, and against the pear blossom and rainy face, she looked a bit pitiful.

The nanny seemed to be impatient, "When the maidservant came, the old lady said that if the auspicious time is missed, don't pick it up, because the next time is not suitable for marriage, and it will affect the luck of the Marquis! If you enter the mansion again, you can only choose another good day, but the old lady has asked someone to calculate, and for more than a year after that, she will either be in conflict with the fourth master, or with the masters in the mansion. I really can't find a good day, Xiao If Madam can wait, I heard that there will be a good day in two years, and you can pass the door at that time."

The meaning of these words is to put it bluntly, if you fall in love with this little sedan today, you can get on it, and if you don’t fall in love, you can pull it down. We Wuyanghou’s mansion is not rare. After passing this village, if you want to enter the door of Wuyanghou’s mansion, then Let's talk about it in two years.

Gong Rou's nails sank deeply into her palm.

This is not here to pick her up, it's clearly here to show her off!

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. One day, she will get back all the humiliation she suffered today!

Gong Rou shook her heart, shed tears, and sat in the sedan chair with the spirit of swearing to die.

-

This is the case for the Guangping Marquis Mansion, not to mention the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.

The affair between the Shen family's brothers and sisters that happened in Furong Villa in the past few days, as well as the fact that Shen Qingzhu was abolished and had an affair with many officials' family members completely suppressed the scandals that happened in Lanying Villa in the Guangping Hou Mansion and Wuyang Hou Mansion. The Marquis of Wuyang wished that no one would remember this matter, and would never beat the gongs and drums to show outsiders that Gong Rou had entered the mansion.

There were no banquets, no family banquets, no festive atmosphere of picking up the bride, only in the room where Gong Rou lived, lit a pair of wedding candles, and changed into a bed of mandarin ducks and red quilts to settle the matter.

When she came, she also took Gong Rou to the 'new house' covertly like a thief from the most inconspicuous small door.

Gong Rou, who was hit in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, saw this scene, and her numb heart ached again.

She put down her hijab, wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile, and told herself that as long as she coaxed Cai Yuanyu well, there would be opportunities for revenge in the future.

Until it got dark, no one came to ask a question, Gong Rou sat by the bed, thirsty and hungry, but dared not call anyone.

Cai Yuanyu didn't come back drunk until it was completely dark and red lanterns were hung outside.

Gong Rou was shaken, sat up straight, put on a shy expression that she had practiced for a long time, and waited for Cai Yuanyu to lift the hijab, which surprised him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the expression on her face was adjusted, the man leaning over had already pressed her on the bed roughly, pulled off her skirt two or three times, and directly pressed her up.

Because of that time at Lanying Villa, Gong Rou had a shadow in her heart, and her whole body became stiff from nervousness. She only felt that someone had been forcibly split in two, and the pain was excruciating.

Cai Yuanyu pounded ~ drummed ~ a few times, seeing that the subordinates did not cooperate, he cursed, "Like a dead fish, it's boring!"

After speaking, he got up and staggered out of the 'new house'.

The red candle was burned out, and the room was dark. The red hijab was soaked with tears, and the woman in wedding dress lay on the bed all night with her upper body intact and her lower body messy.

In the Pomegranate Yard, Nanny Lu told Lu Xinyan about Gong Rou going out through Dao Yexiang's side door, and Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Needless to say, Madam must have taken the opportunity to add insult to injury."

Nanny Lu smiled and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see the expression on Miss San at that time, it must be wonderful."

"In the future, the fourth room of Wuyang Hou's Mansion will be even more exciting." Lu Xinyan said.

With Gongqing Gongrou here, and two scheming concubines she sent, I'm afraid there will be a fierce fight.

"By the way, miss, the third lady was sent back to Lian's house last night, together with the divorce letter written by the third master on the spot."

Lu Xinyan hummed, it was expected.

The same is the heir of the Marquis of Guangping, the Jiang family has Miyata Yu's backing for the future of the Marquis's house, but the Lian family wants to cut off the roots of the Guangping Marquis's house, of course the Feng family will not keep the Lian family in the mansion.

"I heard that just now, the old lady asked the prince to go to the next door to thank Xiao Shizi with a heavy gift. I guess the old lady wanted to take the opportunity to build a relationship with Xiao Shizi! The court has a bath once every ten days. Xiao Shizi not only has the Shizi Mansion, but also If you want to go back to Zhen Guo Gongfu, there are not many chances to meet them during the daytime."

Mother Lu said: "Earlier, Mr. Xiao saved the young lady a few times, but the young lady is a woman, so it is inconvenient to come out and thank you. The old lady does not dare to ask him to thank you on your behalf, for fear of angering the other party if you fail to make friends. Now, Mrs. Xiao The prince saved the prince, the prince is grateful in his heart, and he will sincerely thank the prince Xiao, the prince Xiao has a cold face and a warm heart, maybe the relationship between the two of them will be better."

"Isn't the son still recuperating?" Lu Xinyan asked in surprise.

The residence of the Duke of Zhenguo is the family of the third prince Wu Sheng, and the residence of the Marquis of Guangping and the second prince Wu Zhe are on the same side in the eyes of outsiders, so it is not suitable for him to actively associate with Xiao Yichen.

But firstly, as Lu Xinyan said before, the situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for a courtier to have an unclear position. Secondly, the matter between Gongrou and Cai Yuanyu seems to have been resolved satisfactorily, but the two governments have already had a rift. If Mrs. Cai or the Feng family are gone, the relationship between the two governments will collapse in an instant, and the Feng family will have to leave more ways out.

Three times Xiao Yichen rescued Miyata Yu, Miyata Yu expresses gratitude is human nature, not intentionally making friends, if they become confidantes after a while, there is nothing wrong with anyone.

Feng's idea is good, but it's a pity that the reality is too skinny, with Xiao Yichen's temperament, how could he fall in love with such a scumbag like Miyata Yu?
Grandmother's hope may be lost, Lu Xinyan thought.

As for Grandma Gong saying that someone has a cold face and a warm heart, Lu Xinyan scoffed lightly, and said two hahas directly, there is a deep meaning in it, and you can experience it yourself.
