Chapter 131 Someone Proposed Marriage, That Person Actually Was
Xiao Gao was dripping with cold sweat, "Understood, aunt and niece, go tell Madam Che immediately."
After Lu Congyuan sent Song Zhao and the others away in person, he turned his head and did not see Xiao Gao, and asked her to come again, and said solemnly: "A Ning, you and your mother can deal with her whatever you want, but, as I said before, she Her life must not be touched! Now that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an and Gongsun Gongzi are taking care of her, her life must not be touched! Did you hear that?"
Xiao Gao broke out in a cold sweat again. Lu Congyuan did tell her before that Lu Xinyan's life could not be moved. At that time, Lin Ruyue was protecting her, and she couldn't move if she wanted to. Later, Lin Ruyue passed away, and Lu Xinyan married to the Marquis of Guangping In the mansion, she couldn't even move. After a long time, she had already forgotten what Lu Congyuan told her.
Now Xiao Gao couldn't help but be thankful that the third prince and others made a special trip to give Lu Xinyan a gift, allowing her to stop her plan to poison Lu Xinyan in time.
Although Xiao Gao didn't know why Lu Congyuan repeatedly reminded her not to take Lu Xinyan's life, but based on her understanding of Lu Congyuan, she knew that it was definitely not because Lu Congyuan was his daughter that he couldn't bear to take her life. Xiao Gao firmly believes in this!So even if Lu Congyuan is unwilling to tell her the reason, she will not disobey Lu Congyuan's order!
Huanxiyuan.
Lu Xinyan woke up leisurely after sleeping for a while. There was a beige-colored gauze curtain above her head. Two sachets were hung on the golden hooks on both sides. A faint orchid fragrance wafted out from inside. She was covered with an autumn yellow embroidered chrysanthemum brocade quilt, and the dressing table was on the left. There are her jewelry, cosmetics, skin care products and various perfumes on it, and next to it is a large wardrobe with yellow wood carved plum blossoms.
The furnishings in the room are the same as before.
She was a little dazed, thinking that she was still in the pomegranate courtyard of the Guangping Marquis Mansion.
"Miss, Xingluo has something to report." Qingtong's voice sounded outside the door.
It was only then that Lu Xinyan remembered that this was no longer the Pomegranate Courtyard of the Marquis of Guangping, but the Huanxi Courtyard of the Ankangbo Mansion.
She named her organization Linlang Pavilion. Uncle Tian selected people from Linlang Pavilion. For the sake of safety, they were temporarily taken by Qingtong. If there was anything, they would go through Qingtong before reporting to her.
Lu Xinyan sat up, lifted the quilt and went to the ground, said while putting on her shoes, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind entered through the gap, Lu Xinyan couldn't help shivering, Xing Luo who came in behind Qingtong saw this, and quickly closed the door.
Qingtong was secretly satisfied, she stepped forward, picked up the cloak that was put aside, "Miss, it's getting cold again this afternoon, put on more clothes, so as not to catch a cold."
The weather in early winter is different every day, and it is cold when it is cold.
Lu Xinyan took it and put it on her body, "Xing Luo, what's the matter?"
Xing Luo said: "Miss, when I went to the kitchen just now, I saw Madam Che next to the old lady carrying a bundle and sneaking away from the back door. I made a hole and buried it. After she left, I dug it out and found it was a braised hoof. I smelled it and thought the smell was a bit strange, but I wasn't sure, so I cut a small piece and showed it to Baizhi for inspection. Bai Zhi said that there was a lot of arsenic in it. I judged that the old lady probably wanted to poison someone before, but somehow changed her mind, so she asked Mother Che to pour out the braised hoof."
Lu Xinyan first raised her eyebrows, and then smiled knowingly, "Braised hoof knuckles was my favorite dish in the past. Lu Xinwan and the others are afraid of getting fat and never eat such a fatty dish."
Xing Luo took a deep breath, "So the person the old lady wanted to kill earlier was Miss?"
"It's not surprising." Lu Xinyan said: "When my mother was here before, they tried to harm my mother many times, and wanted to take my mother's dowry as their own. No, my mother is so good that they didn't fall for their tricks! Now I Mother's dowry was in my hands, and I went back to the mansion with Li, they just happened to poison me to death, and then excused that I was driven back to the mansion and couldn't think about it for a while, so I took poison and killed myself!"
"Then why did you stop all of a sudden?" Xing Luo asked.
Qingtong said: "Because the third prince and the others sent gifts, they saw that the young lady is valued by the third prince and the others, and they were afraid that if something happened to the young lady, the third prince and the others would investigate, so they didn't dare."
"So that's how it is." Qingtong was with her when she went to Jinse Courtyard, and Xing Luo was arranged to check the situation in the mansion, and she didn't know about the gift from the Third Prince, "The old lady's food is really ugly."
"She's not the only one who looks ugly! There are not two good things in this house of Uncle Ankang!" Lu Xinyan snorted coldly recalling the life of the original owner, mother and daughter.
"Miss, what should we do in the future?" Qingtong was a little annoyed, "In the Hou's mansion, Aunt Feng, Madam, Second Miss and Third Miss kept framing Miss, and most of the time we just passively accepted it. Do you want to do the same? That's too aggrieved!"
"The Hou's mansion is because my grandmother treats me well and the people are thin, so I will be more tolerant. This uncle's mansion," Lu Xinyan said with a cruel smile, "There is no one or anything I am attached to. I will die with me if I die. It doesn't matter, naturally let go of your hands and feet and play with them."
Qingtong was overjoyed, "Miss, what do you want to do?"
"Look for Baizhi to order some arsenic, and add some to each of the several vegetarian dishes at the main table. The amount is small, and it won't kill anyone, but it will make people hurt like hell." Lu Xinyan smiled evilly.
"Yes, miss!"
In the evening, Gao pretended to host a family banquet. Originally, he wanted to poison Lu Xinyan to death, but now he half-pleased this woman who was favored by the third prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi.
In addition to the aunt, there were more than 30 masters and masters in the Ankangbo mansion. Adults and men each had a table, and the minors were seated by their respective aunts, and they were divided into two tables.
After all the dishes were served, Gao said: "Xinyan, at first grandma ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite braised hoof knuckle, but the cook hadn't cooked it for several years, and it was out of standard, so grandma let someone throw it away. Grandma will make it up."
"Grandmother Lao is worried. I used to love braised knuckles, but now I don't like it." Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Grandma Lao is worried. Grandma is old and has a weak stomach. Eat more vegetables. Easy to digest."
Gao's always expressionless face showed a little kindness, "Let's start."
Lu Xinyan looked at the dishes covered with arsenic, and quickly entered the mouths of Gao's Xiao Gao's Lu Xinwan and the others, the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen.
But after a while, the oldest Gao Shi began to feel uncomfortable, but she was very particular about meal etiquette, and stipulated that the children and grandchildren in the family were not allowed to leave the table before finishing their meal, so at first she resisted, until the young Gao Shi Lu Xinwan and others had seizures one after another. Lu Xinyun couldn't help shouting: "Grandma, Xinyun has a stomachache, can you leave first?"
Gao took advantage of the situation and said: "Go, it happens that grandma has run out, so let's go."
With her order, the people at the main table quickly ran away clutching their stomachs.
Lu Xinyan wiped her mouth slowly, got up, and walked towards Huanxiyuan.
Huanxi Courtyard has its own small kitchen. When she came here, Madam Cheng brought over the leftover ingredients from the Pomegranate Courtyard in the Hou's Mansion, just in case, and it happened to come in handy now.
After Gao and the others returned to their respective courtyards, they had unbearable abdominal pain. At first they thought it was because the ingredients were not clean, so they called the kitchen staff and gave them a severe reprimand. It is so easy to put away, plus there are four tables in total, only the main table has a problem, and it is definitely not a problem with the ingredients.
Mrs. Gao asked Madam Che to ask a doctor to have a test, and after a test, a small amount of arsenic was found in several dishes!
Mother Che was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and swore with three fingers, "Old madam, I swear, the arsenic slave is only put in the braised hoof, not a single bit of the other dishes are spared!"
"Then why is there arsenic in these dishes?" Gao was in pain and anger, and his old face was distorted in an ugly way.
"Your servant doesn't know, but your servant is really wronged!" Mother Che cried bitterly, "Over the years, how many things have you done for you, which time was not done properly, and when did you make a mistake?"
Mrs. Gao thought about it, and found that Madam Che was right, and her anger subsided a little. She waved her hand, "I'll talk about the arsenic later, go make the medicine!"
"Yes, old lady!" Mother Che hurriedly got up, wiped away her tears and went to decoct the medicine.
After Xiao Gao learned of the arsenic poison in the poison, she drank the medicine and immediately came to Gao, "Auntie, this mother Che is so careless, you have to punish her! Fortunately, it is a small amount this time. Next time I accidentally poured a lot of arsenic, my niece and you, and Xinwan, are you still alive?"
Mrs. Gao drank the medicine and took a while. At this time, she was very weak, and she didn't look good when she heard the words, "Nurse Che has never made a mistake in doing things before, this time there may be someone else."
Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, Madam Che didn't make any mistakes before, but it doesn't mean that she was right this time. Think about it, there are people in their fifties, how can they compare with those in their [-]s and [-]s?"
Gao frowned and thought about it, and felt that what Xiao Gao said was right, time is not forgiving, even she herself often feels powerless, let alone Madam Che?
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest, I have my own opinion about Madam Che."
Little Gao saw that she had moved Gao, and left contentedly. Madam Che is one of Gao's right-hand men. If she can be eradicated by this matter, Gao will not be able to control some matters in the uncle's house in the future.
As soon as Mrs. Gao left, Nanny Che who overheard Mrs. Gao didn't wait for Mrs. Gao to call, and immediately rushed in and knelt in front of Mrs. Gao's bed, wailing with snot and tears: "Old lady, how old is this servant?" I'm not as flexible as before, but the slave girl is still very clear-headed, you know this best, don't you?"
Gao Shi looked at her face that was more than ten years older than her own, and sighed: "Mother Che, you have been with me for more than 40 years, and I will not treat you badly."
Mother Che cried: "Old Madam, I know that you are kind-hearted. I don't worry about pension issues. I only worry that after I leave, the old lady will be deceived!"
"I'm not foolish, who dares to deceive me?" Gao snorted nonchalantly.
"Old lady, you are as shrewd as before, but the uncle's mansion is so big, can you see and hear with one pair of eyes and two ears? Although the servant is not talented, it has always been your eyes and ears. If the servant does not Besides, who else would be so single-minded as a servant, only to be your eyes and ears? If someone unites with the people around you to deceive you, then the power of the uncle's mansion will fall to the side."
"Who dares?" Gao sneered majestically, and then sneered, "You're right! Ah Ning's calculations are sound this time, and he wants to drive you away and chop me off to seize power with me! Usually I I still think she is stupid, it seems that I underestimated her! Mother Che, this matter is over, but we have to admit it when we are older, and you will concentrate on watching every move in the house for me in the future. Someone else will be arranged to do it!"
"Yes, old lady."
Xiao Gao gritted her teeth with hatred when she knew that Madam Che was not sent away, but was even more respected.
It's really a steal!This completely offended Mother Che, and I don't know how many eyedrops she will give herself in front of Gao Shi in the future!
I don't know when the power of the family in the backyard of the uncle's mansion will really fall into my hands. I really hope that those two old people will die soon!
-
In the eastern district of the capital, in a hidden house.
The largest grain merchant in Tianwu Kingdom, 40-year-old Wan Jinlai, was waiting respectfully for the person behind the screen to ask questions through a delicate brown screen.
He was born with a round head and big ears, dressed in rich clothes, and his face had the kindness unique to a businessman, as well as the vigor of a successful businessman.
"How about the purchase of the Lin Family Grain Shop?" The voice behind the screen was gentle and dignified, sounding very young.
Lin Family Grain Store is the general term for all the grain stores under the name of Lin Ruyue, that is, Lu Xinyan.
Wan Jinlai looked a little more complacent, "Master, my ancestors have been in business for five generations, and my subordinates have been in business for more than 20 years. They have purchased countless grain shops, and there has never been a single mistake! The matter of the Lin family grain shop has already been dealt with." The deployment is almost done, and there will be news back in two days at the latest."
The voice hummed, and said: "This acquisition is related to my master's future plans, and there is absolutely no room for loss!"
Wan Jin came to pat his chest and promised, "Don't worry, master! For this acquisition, the subordinates sent the most capable people, first to exert pressure and intimidation, and then to propose more favorable conditions than any previous acquisition price. As long as the other party is smarter, consider I will definitely agree after two days, and if the other party still refuses to compromise the day after tomorrow, my subordinates will proceed to the next step! Guaranteed to be absolutely foolproof!"
"Very good, my son is waiting for your good news." The man's voice was a little satisfied, "I have clear rewards and punishments for my actions, and if this is done, I will give you a big reward!"
Wan Jinlai was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you, master! She is just a little girl with yellow hair. Even if she started doing business from her mother's womb, it has only been in business for more than ten years. My subordinates are confident that they will definitely win this city!"
He is an old fox who has been in the business world for more than 20 years, but he can't eat a chick who just entered the business world?It seems that the master has not been going well recently, and there are some unfounded worries, Wan Jinlai thought to himself.
"Go down."
"Yes, Master!"

In the evening, Lu Xinyan took a bath and dried her hair, and was about to go to bed when Xiao He ran in angrily, holding the arrogant black cat in her arms, "Miss, it's time for this little guy to take a bath, but No one will touch it! Look," she held up the black cat, revealing her splashed clothes, "I have three clothes wet by it!"
Taking advantage of the moment Xiao He raised her hand, the black cat quickly slipped away from her hand and ran to Lu Xinyan's feet, rubbing its head fawningly.
Xiao He laughed angrily, pointed at the black cat and cursed: "You little bastard, I'll feed you, I want to help you take a bath, but you're good, if you see Miss, you'll stick to her! Miss is mine, you know? ?”
The black cat hid behind Lu Xinyan and meowed, as if to refute Xiao He's words.
Xiao He stomped her feet, "Miss, I don't care about it!"
Lu Xinyan picked up the black cat shortly, "Why are you angry with Xiaohe? Ah? You should hit him!"
She made a gesture to hit the black cat, and Xiao He burst out laughing, "Miss, do you really think it can understand?"
As soon as the words fell, the black cat shrank its head and meowed, and fell silent. It seemed that it knew that it was wrong, or that it had been wronged.
Xiao He said incredulously: "Miss, this little bastard is probably the one who recognizes the master, right? Only the people he recognizes are allowed to touch, and others are not allowed to touch?"
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Lu Xinyan thought of its weird owner, and wondered if this black cat might have the same eccentricities as his owner, and didn't like her things being touched by others!
Lu Xinyan looked at her hands, using these hands that someone believed belonged to him to touch his pet, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Xiao He, go get water, I'll wash it for you."
Xiao He quickly brought water and squatted aside to watch.
Lu Xinyan put the black cat into the water, and the black cat remained obedient and motionless, allowing her to rub bath beans on her body, stroke her fur, squint her eyes from time to time, and meow twice comfortably, looking like a cat uncle.
Xiao He was dumbfounded, "You little bastard, you really recognize the master! No, the young lady is mine, so don't fight me, you know?"
The black cat, who had been enjoying it with its eyes closed, actually opened it and meowed at Xiao He, how arrogant and arrogant it was.
"Miss, it-it-it..." Xiao He stared wide-eyed, pointing at the black cat it-it-it for a long time, and finally said, "Could it be a sperm?"
People say that things look like their masters!This black cat probably has Xiao Yichen's habits.
Lu Xinyan was noncommittal.
After bathing the black cat, Lu Xinyan brought a cloth towel, wrapped the black cat up, and dried it carefully, Xiao He enviously said: "Little bastard, you are so happy, Miss has never treated me like this? "
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, "Are you jealous with a cat?"
Xiao He murmured, "Miss, why not call him a little bastard from now on."
Little bastard, it sounds better than piggy!And there is a deep meaning that someone is a big bastard!Lu Xinyan nodded and agreed, "Okay, just call me little bastard, little bastard, where do you sleep tonight?"
The black cat seemed to be very dissatisfied with the name, and kept meowing a few times, but Lu Xinyan and Xiao He ignored it and talked on their own, the black cat had no choice but to break free from Lu Xinyan's grasp and jump onto Lu Xinyan's bed, Get into the bed, reveal the cat's head, and declare sovereignty!
Xiao He hurried over and said anxiously: "Little bastard, that's not where you sleep, come out!"
"Forget it, let it sleep with me, it just happens to be cold, so hug it to sleep warmly." Lu Xinyan stopped.
Xiao He felt that she was about to fall out of favor, so she pursed her lips, "Miss, you dote on the little bastard more than me."
Lu Xinyan smirked and winked at her, "Then why don't you stay tonight and warm my bed with the little bastard?"
When Xiao He didn't know the meaning of warming the quilt before, she would blushed unconsciously every time she was teased by Lu Xinyan, but now that she knew what warming the quilt meant, she blushed even more.
She stomped her feet, "Miss, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back to sleep!"
After that, the black cat bastard who changed his new name slept with Lu Xinyan in bed at night, and he was so happy that he didn't want to leave until someone came back, so angry that he wanted to peel his skin, and then he ended it. happy night life.
Qi Fei received the news two days ago that the grain shop under Lu Xinyan was being forcibly bought by someone. He was in a hurry, and it was hard to come forward directly. He waited for Lu Xinyan to come to him, but he waited and waited and waited. It was the news that Lu Xinyan decided to sell all those grain shops.
After he received the news, he knocked on the window early in the morning to wake up Lu Xinyan.
Lu Xinyan was sleeping soundly with the black cat in her arms. After being woken up, she put on her clothes and opened the window. After seeing a black figure hiding in the dark, she yawned, "Qi Fei, what happened early in the morning?"
"Miss, I heard that you sold all your grain stores?" Qi Fei asked.
"En." Lu Xinyan hummed as an answer, and then yawned again. The cold wind blew in, only dispelling a little drowsiness, but she was still sleepy.
Qi Fei said earnestly: "Miss, I know that the grain store business can't make a lot of money, but grain is the foundation of the people. At critical times, this grain is more useful than jewelry and jade!"
"Don't worry, you can buy it back after a while."
Qi Fei wanted to persuade him, but he suddenly heard Lu Xinyan say, "Ah".
About Gong Yu, Mr. Zhang had to provide so much information about Mr. Zhang that Lu Xinyan could ask Wu Zhen for help. Using the queen mother and the emperor to force Wu Zhe to come to ask for marriage in person, so Lu Xinyan endured sleepiness and patiently explained: "After your son and I analyzed the situation in the court last time, I have asked Mr. Li to secretly deploy an anti-acquisition plan. Anyone who dares to acquire any property under my name will be waiting to suffer the consequences."
"Anti-takeover plan? What plan?" Qi Fei asked curiously.
"You'll know after two more days." Lu Xinyan half-closed her eyes, "Qi Fei, it's still early, don't you want to go back and rest?"
It was because he thought he was disturbing her sleep, so Qi Fei had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, "Missy, take a good rest, and the younger one will go first."
The moment he left, a person came out of a room on the left, made eye contact with him, and after the two nodded quickly, Qi Fei's figure disappeared in an instant.
According to the rules of the Ankangbo Mansion, all the masters and masters in the mansion have to greet Gao in the morning to show her status as the mistress of the family.
Since the Gao family has been in charge, rain or shine has never stopped, even when she is sick.
There are nearly 50 people in the mansion including masters and aunts. Lu Xinyan feels that she is exhausted just by nodding and greeting. In her heart, she admires Gao's persistence.
Mrs. Gao was poisoned by arsenic last night. She took some medicine and had diarrhea. The young lady and master burst into tears.
Dissatisfied, Gao was carried away, not even Lu Xinyan and Lu Xinwan were left behind, so he nodded and let them go.
Qing Tong came with Lu Xinyan, "Miss, Second Miss will follow behind us."
"Oh, then walk slowly and see what tricks they play!" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
When passing by a small lake, Lu Xinyan stopped to watch the sparkling lake water.
The surface of the lake was blown by the wind, rippling outward layer by layer, Lu Xinyan picked up a stone and threw it into the water, the water splashed, forming circles of ripples in the middle.
Lu Xinyun, who was following behind, winked at Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, and brought her two servant girls, approaching Lu Xinyan with malicious intentions.
Two maids surrounded Qingtong, one left and one right, while Lu Xinyun stood behind Lu Xinyan, stretched out her hands and pushed hard.
Just when her hands were about to touch Lu Xinyan, Qingtong suddenly dodged and jumped out from between the two maids, pulling Lu Xinyan away.
When Lu Xinyan left, she deliberately tripped over Lu Xinyun's feet. Lu Xinyun's center of gravity was unstable, and she threw herself forward. With a scream of "ah", she fell headfirst into the water.
The water in the lake was very shallow, only about knee level, and Lu Xinyun's entire upper body was buried in the lake water.
The bottom is probably mud, and I saw her kicking her feet in the air, which is very funny.
The two servant girls were stunned, and Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan behind were also stunned. After two breaths, when the foot showed signs of stopping, Lu Xinhan exclaimed: "Hurry up and save the fourth sister!"
The two maids quickly stretched out their hands, and the maids beside Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan also helped, and finally pulled Lu Xinyun up.
When coming out of the water, not only was Lu Xinyun's head and face covered in mud, but the blood was even more terrifying.
It turned out that after Lu Xinyun took the initiative to ask Ying to ruin Lu Xinyan's face yesterday, she ordered someone to pour some hard and sharp things such as broken bowls and gravels into the lake, preparing to push Lu Xinyan down today and ruin her face. Knowing that the result hurt himself.
After Lu Xinyun was rescued, she fell into a coma at first, and after the maid helped her clean up the mud from her nostrils and mouth, Lu Xinyun woke up from the pain.
After waking up, I cried, "My face, my eyes! Wow...! I'm done! Woo..."
Lu Xinyan let out a cold moan, and signaled Qingtong to leave together.
Lu Xinwan stopped her, "Lu Xinyan, why did you push the fourth sister into the water? She only said a few words to you yesterday, and you treat her like this, you are too poisonous! I want to tell my grandmother and let her uphold justice!"
"Lu Xinwan, whoever wants to push someone into the water will suffer the consequences, God knows you know me!" Lu Xinyan looked at her sideways, as if she was mentally retarded, "And even if I pushed, I Now that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Young Master Gongsun are protecting me, do you think grandma will blame me?"
Lu Xinwan said angrily: "You're shameless! You're prodigal! No wonder you were driven back! Sooner or later, the Third Prince and Gongsun Gongzi will see through your true colors and treat you like a poor woman!"
Lu Xinyan sneered: "Lu Xinwan, that day will never happen in this life!"
"Lu Xinyan!" Lu Xinwan pointed at her nose, "Don't be so complacent, one day, I will trample you under my feet!"
"Go back to sleep early, this dream will come true sooner." Lu Xinyan took two steps forward, seeing Lu Xinwan standing there refusing to let her go, she gave her a look, "Lu Xinwan, if you don't move away, believe it or not, I will throw you into the water go?"
Lu Xinwan's face was flushed red by her anger, she looked at Qingtong who was eager to try, and gritted her teeth to move away.
Before Lu Xinyan reached the Huanxi Courtyard, Nanny Ling who was beside Xiao Gao hurriedly caught up, "Miss, Madam asked the servant to invite you to the front hall."
"My mother died a long time ago, where is the madam?" Lu Xinyan asked with a faint smile.
Nanny Ling bit the bullet and changed her words, "Aunt Gao invites you to the front hall."
"What's the matter? I'm a little tired now. I didn't sleep well last night. I want to go back and rest." Lu Xinyan said lazily.
"The eldest son of the Shen family came to the door with a matchmaker and said that he wanted to marry the eldest lady! Ma'am... Aunt Gao couldn't help it, so she had to ask the eldest lady to go..."
Before Nanny Ling finished speaking, Lu Xinyan couldn't help but spit.
Isn't Shen Qingzhu that, has he been abolished?I heard that his wife's natal family cared about their daughter so much that they asked their daughter He Li to take her back. Could it be that the rumors are wrong, and it wasn't because of this matter that they were reconciled?
If there is no mistake, he is a useless person who dares to come to ask for marriage. Who will give him this face?
If it was something else, Lu Xinyan might not have gone, but it was related to her lifelong happiness, so she wanted to see how thick-skinned Shen Qingzhu was!
What Shen Qingzhu invited was a well-known official matchmaker in the capital. With a clever mouth, someone who dies can be said to live, like a flower can be blown into a beauty. Before Lu Xinyan arrived, she heard the matchmaker Liu say: "Mrs. Ankang, Mr. Shen Family background, reputation, appearance, talent, I don't need to say more, Liu Matchmaker, everyone in Beijing knows everyone, how many girls line up from the street to the end of the street, wanting to marry into the Shen family, let alone do it. Madam, even if you are a noble concubine and concubine, everyone is scrambling to be the first! Your young lady is favored by Mr. Shen, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes!"
Xiao Gao stayed with her smiling face the whole time, but she murmured in her heart, that was before Mr. Shen was abolished, who would send his daughter in to be a widow now?If Lu Xinyan didn't have a dowry, Xiao Gao would be more than happy to marry her to a useless person and be a widow for the rest of her life, but Lu Xinyan has such a large dowry in her hand, how could she be willing to marry someone out like this, to benefit the Shen family?
But the Shen family has a high position and authority, Shen Jingyun, the patriarch of the Shen family, is a famous writer with disciples all over the country, how could he dare to offend a small uncle's mansion in Ankangbo Mansion?
Xiao Gao could only keep smiling until his face became stiff, but he didn't speak.
Matchmaker Liu was not happy, "Mrs. An Kangbo, what do you mean? Mr. Shen came to ask for marriage in person, and showed such sincerity, isn't it enough? Is it necessary for Mr. Shen to come to the door in person? Your eldest lady, say It sounds good that He Li came back, but it sounds bad that he was chased back, it's rare that Mr. Shen doesn't dislike it, but you still push it back and forth, don't you think the Shen family is in your eyes?"
"I'm a divorced woman who was driven back. I think I'm not good enough. Please ask Mr. Shen to despise me." Lu Xinyan walked in from the entrance of the main hall, her beautiful face immediately brightened the whole main hall.
Although Shen Qingzhu has lost certain abilities, his aesthetics is still there. His vicious and stunning eyes swept across Lu Xinyan, and instantly changed to affectionate, "Xinyan, you are here."
His voice has changed during this month, the original clear and masculine voice is gone, it has become feminine and charming.
Lu Xinyan is covered in goosebumps and marches in a military salute. As a modern person, Lu Xinyan does not discriminate against sissies and homosexuals. On the contrary, sissies and homosexuals abound in the fashion circle. Willingness, choose the path you want to take, but Shen Qingzhu treats disgust as affectionate, how can it make people not want to vomit?
"Master Shen, I don't know you very well, please call me Miss Lu!" Lu Xinyan suppressed her nausea, but she really didn't know where Shen Qingzhu was so cheeky.
The fact that Shen Qingzhu was abolished was well known to the Shen family, but Shen Jingyun wanted face, and Shen Qingzhu wanted face, so he declared that he had been cured. The harmony of the family made them choose to reconcile.
Everyone in the capital knew this kind of self-deprecating statement, but due to Shen Jingyun's reputation, no one dared to say anything in person, and there were many discussions in private.
The more a person lacks something, the more he wants to prove something, especially for Shen Qingzhu.
Ever since his wife left, in order to save his own face, none of the aunts in the mansion were allowed to leave, not to mention, and tried all kinds of torture methods, tossing hard on the bed.
This is not enough, Shen Qingzhu, in order to prove that he is capable, started a few days ago, inviting his former friends to go to the brothel to find the top girl to spend the night, spending a lot of money, threats and perverted methods, making the brothel girl miserable, every night The screams made people sound like evidence that Shen Qingzhu was really cured, which made some people out of their minds, but they really started to believe it.
But Shen Qingzhu knew well that he was already a eunuch, and the more he pretended to be fine, the darker his heart became, especially whenever someone congratulated him on his revival, he wished he could stab that person into death with a knife. Blood hole, and at the same time turn the other party into a eunuch!
But what he hates the most, besides the person who ruined him, is Lu Xinyan!
He conspired with his younger sister Shen Yuyan to assassinate Lu Xinyan but failed, instead he was ashamed, and as a result, he was groped into the yard the next night to be crippled. Shen Qingzhu will never forget the extreme pain of despair in his whole life!
If it is said that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xinyan, Shen Qingzhu will not believe it anyway. Since he is in hell and killed his people, how can he let her live well in the world?
Previously, because Lu Xinyan was a blockbuster in the palace and was praised by the Empress Dowager and Princess Chang'an, Shen Qingzhu couldn't move. Now that she has severed ties with Lihui Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion, it is a great opportunity for him to take revenge!
So Shen Qingzhu persuaded Shen Jingyun to bring Matchmaker Liu over early in the morning, intending to use the Shen family's family background to threaten Ankangbo Mansion to compromise!
After marrying Lu Xinyan into the mansion, he will slowly use various means to torture her severely and torture her, so as to eliminate his hatred in his heart!
Who would have thought that Mrs. Ankang, who was so frightened to death, would not let go!Shen Qingzhu was so angry that he bleeds internally!
Now that the bitch Lu Xinyan didn't give him face, Shen Qingzhu slowly put away the smile on his face, showing a cold expression, and at the same time gave Liu Matchmaker a pressured look.
Matchmaker Liu trembled, straightened her back, and began to put pressure on Mrs. Gao, "Mrs. Ankang, I, Matchmaker Liu, have already talked dry, but you didn't say a word. What do you mean? If it doesn't work, you can directly Reject, so I can go back to old man Shen and ask him to come over in person!"
Xiao Gao swallowed her saliva and laughed, "Matchmaker Liu, you also know that I am not the eldest lady's biological mother, and I have no say in her marriage."
Matchmaker Liu said disdainfully: "Mrs. Ankang, what you said is really funny. You are now the hostess of Ankang's mansion. According to the rules, the eldest lady has to call you mother, and this marriage is naturally in the hands of the master!"
Xiao Gao was suddenly very lucky. Yesterday Lu Congyuan asked Lu Xinyan to call her Aunt Gao according to the way she used to call her. She laughed and said, "Matchmaker Liu, you don't know something. My master said yesterday that Missy doesn't need to call my mother. According to the previous name, call me Aunt Gao."
Matchmaker Liu, who has always been eloquent, was stunned. There is still such an operation?The ex-wife's concubine, instead of calling her stepmother her mother, called her aunt instead?How affectionate is An Kangbo for the former Mrs. An Kangbo?And how stupid is the current Mrs. Ancomber to tolerate such a thing?
Xiao Gao continued: "So I really can't make up my mind about the eldest lady's marriage, and it's useless if you force me."
Shen Qingzhu glanced at Matchmaker Liu, and Matchmaker Liu immediately complained: "Since Mrs. An Kangbo can't make the decision, why didn't you say it earlier, wasting so much of my saliva!"
Xiao Gao really wanted to spit on her, and a matchmaker also climbed on top of her to do her best!
If it weren't for the few children in my family who haven't found a suitable family yet, and have to rely on these official matchmakers, and the matchmakers are all talkative, Xiao Gao might be furious.
She cursed a few words in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Yes, yes, I forgot the master's instructions for a while before, and I just remembered when I saw the young miss."
"Then I will trouble you, please ask someone who can make decisions about the eldest lady's marriage to come out and speak up!" Matchmaker Liu said arrogantly.
Xiao Gao carefully said: "Matchmaker Liu, my aunt was poisoned by arsenic last night, and she is not in good health now, so she should not see guests."
"Arsenic poisoning? It's such a coincidence?" Matchmaker Liu naturally didn't believe it, thinking it was Xiao Gao's excuse.
"Last night, a maid accidentally spilled a little arsenic from a poisonous mouse into the dishes. Many people in the house, including me and my aunt, were poisoned. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Zhang in Huichun Hall. I invited him yesterday. Come and see." Xiao Gao said.
Matchmaker Liu saw that what she said was convincing and did not seem to be lying, so she looked at Shen Qingzhu, and seeing Shen Qingzhu's gloomy face, as if she would not give up until she reached her goal, she had to continue to ask: "Then now in this mansion, where is she going?" No one can be the master of your young lady?"
"That's not true." Xiao Gao didn't want Lu Xinyan to marry outside, but it didn't mean she didn't want to make Lu Xinyan feel sick, she whispered: "This young lady can be her own master!"
Lu Xinyan didn't need to guess, just looking at Xiao Gao's calculating eyes, she knew what she was thinking, her red lips were slightly raised and then quickly lowered.
Anyway, she didn't expect Xiao Gao to stand in the way for her!
Matchmaker Liu understood and began to be aggressive towards Lu Xinyan, "Miss, since you can be your own master, that's great! You heard what I said to Mrs. Ankang just now, Mr. Shen came to the door in person , I want to marry you as the grandson-in-law of the Shen family, how about you tell me?"
Lu Xinyan made a gesture of seeing off the guests sideways, "The door is over there, so walk slowly!"
Matchmaker Liu didn't expect that Lu Xinyan would not give any face, and she refused so directly, she was so angry that she said, "Miss Lu, you are a woman who returned home with Li, Mr. Shen fell in love with you, it is you You have cultivated good luck for several lifetimes, yet you are so ignorant of good and bad? Could it be that you are still thinking about a better marriage? It’s ridiculous! If the news of your contempt for Shen’s residence reaches the ears of literati, I’m afraid that your status in Kangbo’s residence will be safe. No guarantee!"
Xiao Gao chimed in maliciously, "That's right, miss, Mr. Shen is so sincere, how can you refuse?"
"Gao Auntie, the reason why I refused was not because I didn't know good and bad, nor did I look down on Mr. Shen, but because Li and I were too humble to be worthy of Mr. Shen, so I refused! Since Aunt Gao is so optimistic Mr. Shen..." Lu Xinyan looked at Mrs. Gao with a smile that was not a smile, and Mrs. Gao's heart skipped a beat, "Why don't you betroth Mrs. Shen to Mrs.
Xiao Gao almost jumped up in shock, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it is you that Mr. Shen is looking for, don't talk nonsense!"
"That's because Mr. Shen didn't see the beauty of this younger sister Xinwan. She has the beauty of the sky, the beauty of the fish and the wild goose. A man will be moved when he sees it." Lu Xinyan's eyes swept under Shen Qingzhu's abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, "Unless it is not Men will not be moved."
The look of contempt and ridicule made Shen Qingzhu very angry, and his face was sullen.
The stupid little Gao, just wanted to cover it up at this time, "Mr. Shen, my daughter is not as good as what the eldest lady said. No matter if she is a man or not, she will not be tempted when she sees her, really!"
Is it a man's words, which completely ignited Shen Qingzhu's anger, "Mrs. Ankang, since no one can decide on the marriage of the eldest lady, you can decide on the marriage of the second lady! I, Shen Qingzhu, now change to Second Miss proposes marriage, please call Mrs. Ankang Bo!"
(End of this chapter)
Xiao Gao was dripping with cold sweat, "Understood, aunt and niece, go tell Madam Che immediately."
After Lu Congyuan sent Song Zhao and the others away in person, he turned his head and did not see Xiao Gao, and asked her to come again, and said solemnly: "A Ning, you and your mother can deal with her whatever you want, but, as I said before, she Her life must not be touched! Now that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an and Gongsun Gongzi are taking care of her, her life must not be touched! Did you hear that?"
Xiao Gao broke out in a cold sweat again. Lu Congyuan did tell her before that Lu Xinyan's life could not be moved. At that time, Lin Ruyue was protecting her, and she couldn't move if she wanted to. Later, Lin Ruyue passed away, and Lu Xinyan married to the Marquis of Guangping In the mansion, she couldn't even move. After a long time, she had already forgotten what Lu Congyuan told her.
Now Xiao Gao couldn't help but be thankful that the third prince and others made a special trip to give Lu Xinyan a gift, allowing her to stop her plan to poison Lu Xinyan in time.
Although Xiao Gao didn't know why Lu Congyuan repeatedly reminded her not to take Lu Xinyan's life, but based on her understanding of Lu Congyuan, she knew that it was definitely not because Lu Congyuan was his daughter that he couldn't bear to take her life. Xiao Gao firmly believes in this!So even if Lu Congyuan is unwilling to tell her the reason, she will not disobey Lu Congyuan's order!
Huanxiyuan.
Lu Xinyan woke up leisurely after sleeping for a while. There was a beige-colored gauze curtain above her head. Two sachets were hung on the golden hooks on both sides. A faint orchid fragrance wafted out from inside. She was covered with an autumn yellow embroidered chrysanthemum brocade quilt, and the dressing table was on the left. There are her jewelry, cosmetics, skin care products and various perfumes on it, and next to it is a large wardrobe with yellow wood carved plum blossoms.
The furnishings in the room are the same as before.
She was a little dazed, thinking that she was still in the pomegranate courtyard of the Guangping Marquis Mansion.
"Miss, Xingluo has something to report." Qingtong's voice sounded outside the door.
It was only then that Lu Xinyan remembered that this was no longer the Pomegranate Courtyard of the Marquis of Guangping, but the Huanxi Courtyard of the Ankangbo Mansion.
She named her organization Linlang Pavilion. Uncle Tian selected people from Linlang Pavilion. For the sake of safety, they were temporarily taken by Qingtong. If there was anything, they would go through Qingtong before reporting to her.
Lu Xinyan sat up, lifted the quilt and went to the ground, said while putting on her shoes, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind entered through the gap, Lu Xinyan couldn't help shivering, Xing Luo who came in behind Qingtong saw this, and quickly closed the door.
Qingtong was secretly satisfied, she stepped forward, picked up the cloak that was put aside, "Miss, it's getting cold again this afternoon, put on more clothes, so as not to catch a cold."
The weather in early winter is different every day, and it is cold when it is cold.
Lu Xinyan took it and put it on her body, "Xing Luo, what's the matter?"
Xing Luo said: "Miss, when I went to the kitchen just now, I saw Madam Che next to the old lady carrying a bundle and sneaking away from the back door. I made a hole and buried it. After she left, I dug it out and found it was a braised hoof. I smelled it and thought the smell was a bit strange, but I wasn't sure, so I cut a small piece and showed it to Baizhi for inspection. Bai Zhi said that there was a lot of arsenic in it. I judged that the old lady probably wanted to poison someone before, but somehow changed her mind, so she asked Mother Che to pour out the braised hoof."
Lu Xinyan first raised her eyebrows, and then smiled knowingly, "Braised hoof knuckles was my favorite dish in the past. Lu Xinwan and the others are afraid of getting fat and never eat such a fatty dish."
Xing Luo took a deep breath, "So the person the old lady wanted to kill earlier was Miss?"
"It's not surprising." Lu Xinyan said: "When my mother was here before, they tried to harm my mother many times, and wanted to take my mother's dowry as their own. No, my mother is so good that they didn't fall for their tricks! Now I Mother's dowry was in my hands, and I went back to the mansion with Li, they just happened to poison me to death, and then excused that I was driven back to the mansion and couldn't think about it for a while, so I took poison and killed myself!"
"Then why did you stop all of a sudden?" Xing Luo asked.
Qingtong said: "Because the third prince and the others sent gifts, they saw that the young lady is valued by the third prince and the others, and they were afraid that if something happened to the young lady, the third prince and the others would investigate, so they didn't dare."
"So that's how it is." Qingtong was with her when she went to Jinse Courtyard, and Xing Luo was arranged to check the situation in the mansion, and she didn't know about the gift from the Third Prince, "The old lady's food is really ugly."
"She's not the only one who looks ugly! There are not two good things in this house of Uncle Ankang!" Lu Xinyan snorted coldly recalling the life of the original owner, mother and daughter.
"Miss, what should we do in the future?" Qingtong was a little annoyed, "In the Hou's mansion, Aunt Feng, Madam, Second Miss and Third Miss kept framing Miss, and most of the time we just passively accepted it. Do you want to do the same? That's too aggrieved!"
"The Hou's mansion is because my grandmother treats me well and the people are thin, so I will be more tolerant. This uncle's mansion," Lu Xinyan said with a cruel smile, "There is no one or anything I am attached to. I will die with me if I die. It doesn't matter, naturally let go of your hands and feet and play with them."
Qingtong was overjoyed, "Miss, what do you want to do?"
"Look for Baizhi to order some arsenic, and add some to each of the several vegetarian dishes at the main table. The amount is small, and it won't kill anyone, but it will make people hurt like hell." Lu Xinyan smiled evilly.
"Yes, miss!"
In the evening, Gao pretended to host a family banquet. Originally, he wanted to poison Lu Xinyan to death, but now he half-pleased this woman who was favored by the third prince, Princess Chang'an, and Gongsun Gongzi.
In addition to the aunt, there were more than 30 masters and masters in the Ankangbo mansion. Adults and men each had a table, and the minors were seated by their respective aunts, and they were divided into two tables.
After all the dishes were served, Gao said: "Xinyan, at first grandma ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite braised hoof knuckle, but the cook hadn't cooked it for several years, and it was out of standard, so grandma let someone throw it away. Grandma will make it up."
"Grandmother Lao is worried. I used to love braised knuckles, but now I don't like it." Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Grandma Lao is worried. Grandma is old and has a weak stomach. Eat more vegetables. Easy to digest."
Gao's always expressionless face showed a little kindness, "Let's start."
Lu Xinyan looked at the dishes covered with arsenic, and quickly entered the mouths of Gao's Xiao Gao's Lu Xinwan and the others, the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen.
But after a while, the oldest Gao Shi began to feel uncomfortable, but she was very particular about meal etiquette, and stipulated that the children and grandchildren in the family were not allowed to leave the table before finishing their meal, so at first she resisted, until the young Gao Shi Lu Xinwan and others had seizures one after another. Lu Xinyun couldn't help shouting: "Grandma, Xinyun has a stomachache, can you leave first?"
Gao took advantage of the situation and said: "Go, it happens that grandma has run out, so let's go."
With her order, the people at the main table quickly ran away clutching their stomachs.
Lu Xinyan wiped her mouth slowly, got up, and walked towards Huanxiyuan.
Huanxi Courtyard has its own small kitchen. When she came here, Madam Cheng brought over the leftover ingredients from the Pomegranate Courtyard in the Hou's Mansion, just in case, and it happened to come in handy now.
After Gao and the others returned to their respective courtyards, they had unbearable abdominal pain. At first they thought it was because the ingredients were not clean, so they called the kitchen staff and gave them a severe reprimand. It is so easy to put away, plus there are four tables in total, only the main table has a problem, and it is definitely not a problem with the ingredients.
Mrs. Gao asked Madam Che to ask a doctor to have a test, and after a test, a small amount of arsenic was found in several dishes!
Mother Che was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and swore with three fingers, "Old madam, I swear, the arsenic slave is only put in the braised hoof, not a single bit of the other dishes are spared!"
"Then why is there arsenic in these dishes?" Gao was in pain and anger, and his old face was distorted in an ugly way.
"Your servant doesn't know, but your servant is really wronged!" Mother Che cried bitterly, "Over the years, how many things have you done for you, which time was not done properly, and when did you make a mistake?"
Mrs. Gao thought about it, and found that Madam Che was right, and her anger subsided a little. She waved her hand, "I'll talk about the arsenic later, go make the medicine!"
"Yes, old lady!" Mother Che hurriedly got up, wiped away her tears and went to decoct the medicine.
After Xiao Gao learned of the arsenic poison in the poison, she drank the medicine and immediately came to Gao, "Auntie, this mother Che is so careless, you have to punish her! Fortunately, it is a small amount this time. Next time I accidentally poured a lot of arsenic, my niece and you, and Xinwan, are you still alive?"
Mrs. Gao drank the medicine and took a while. At this time, she was very weak, and she didn't look good when she heard the words, "Nurse Che has never made a mistake in doing things before, this time there may be someone else."
Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, Madam Che didn't make any mistakes before, but it doesn't mean that she was right this time. Think about it, there are people in their fifties, how can they compare with those in their [-]s and [-]s?"
Gao frowned and thought about it, and felt that what Xiao Gao said was right, time is not forgiving, even she herself often feels powerless, let alone Madam Che?
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest, I have my own opinion about Madam Che."
Little Gao saw that she had moved Gao, and left contentedly. Madam Che is one of Gao's right-hand men. If she can be eradicated by this matter, Gao will not be able to control some matters in the uncle's house in the future.
As soon as Mrs. Gao left, Nanny Che who overheard Mrs. Gao didn't wait for Mrs. Gao to call, and immediately rushed in and knelt in front of Mrs. Gao's bed, wailing with snot and tears: "Old lady, how old is this servant?" I'm not as flexible as before, but the slave girl is still very clear-headed, you know this best, don't you?"
Gao Shi looked at her face that was more than ten years older than her own, and sighed: "Mother Che, you have been with me for more than 40 years, and I will not treat you badly."
Mother Che cried: "Old Madam, I know that you are kind-hearted. I don't worry about pension issues. I only worry that after I leave, the old lady will be deceived!"
"I'm not foolish, who dares to deceive me?" Gao snorted nonchalantly.
"Old lady, you are as shrewd as before, but the uncle's mansion is so big, can you see and hear with one pair of eyes and two ears? Although the servant is not talented, it has always been your eyes and ears. If the servant does not Besides, who else would be so single-minded as a servant, only to be your eyes and ears? If someone unites with the people around you to deceive you, then the power of the uncle's mansion will fall to the side."
"Who dares?" Gao sneered majestically, and then sneered, "You're right! Ah Ning's calculations are sound this time, and he wants to drive you away and chop me off to seize power with me! Usually I I still think she is stupid, it seems that I underestimated her! Mother Che, this matter is over, but we have to admit it when we are older, and you will concentrate on watching every move in the house for me in the future. Someone else will be arranged to do it!"
"Yes, old lady."
Xiao Gao gritted her teeth with hatred when she knew that Madam Che was not sent away, but was even more respected.
It's really a steal!This completely offended Mother Che, and I don't know how many eyedrops she will give herself in front of Gao Shi in the future!
I don't know when the power of the family in the backyard of the uncle's mansion will really fall into my hands. I really hope that those two old people will die soon!
-
In the eastern district of the capital, in a hidden house.
The largest grain merchant in Tianwu Kingdom, 40-year-old Wan Jinlai, was waiting respectfully for the person behind the screen to ask questions through a delicate brown screen.
He was born with a round head and big ears, dressed in rich clothes, and his face had the kindness unique to a businessman, as well as the vigor of a successful businessman.
"How about the purchase of the Lin Family Grain Shop?" The voice behind the screen was gentle and dignified, sounding very young.
Lin Family Grain Store is the general term for all the grain stores under the name of Lin Ruyue, that is, Lu Xinyan.
Wan Jinlai looked a little more complacent, "Master, my ancestors have been in business for five generations, and my subordinates have been in business for more than 20 years. They have purchased countless grain shops, and there has never been a single mistake! The matter of the Lin family grain shop has already been dealt with." The deployment is almost done, and there will be news back in two days at the latest."
The voice hummed, and said: "This acquisition is related to my master's future plans, and there is absolutely no room for loss!"
Wan Jin came to pat his chest and promised, "Don't worry, master! For this acquisition, the subordinates sent the most capable people, first to exert pressure and intimidation, and then to propose more favorable conditions than any previous acquisition price. As long as the other party is smarter, consider I will definitely agree after two days, and if the other party still refuses to compromise the day after tomorrow, my subordinates will proceed to the next step! Guaranteed to be absolutely foolproof!"
"Very good, my son is waiting for your good news." The man's voice was a little satisfied, "I have clear rewards and punishments for my actions, and if this is done, I will give you a big reward!"
Wan Jinlai was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you, master! She is just a little girl with yellow hair. Even if she started doing business from her mother's womb, it has only been in business for more than ten years. My subordinates are confident that they will definitely win this city!"
He is an old fox who has been in the business world for more than 20 years, but he can't eat a chick who just entered the business world?It seems that the master has not been going well recently, and there are some unfounded worries, Wan Jinlai thought to himself.
"Go down."
"Yes, Master!"
-
In the evening, Lu Xinyan took a bath and dried her hair, and was about to go to bed when Xiao He ran in angrily, holding the arrogant black cat in her arms, "Miss, it's time for this little guy to take a bath, but No one will touch it! Look," she held up the black cat, revealing her splashed clothes, "I have three clothes wet by it!"
Taking advantage of the moment Xiao He raised her hand, the black cat quickly slipped away from her hand and ran to Lu Xinyan's feet, rubbing its head fawningly.
Xiao He laughed angrily, pointed at the black cat and cursed: "You little bastard, I'll feed you, I want to help you take a bath, but you're good, if you see Miss, you'll stick to her! Miss is mine, you know? ?”
The black cat hid behind Lu Xinyan and meowed, as if to refute Xiao He's words.
Xiao He stomped her feet, "Miss, I don't care about it!"
Lu Xinyan picked up the black cat shortly, "Why are you angry with Xiaohe? Ah? You should hit him!"
She made a gesture to hit the black cat, and Xiao He burst out laughing, "Miss, do you really think it can understand?"
As soon as the words fell, the black cat shrank its head and meowed, and fell silent. It seemed that it knew that it was wrong, or that it had been wronged.
Xiao He said incredulously: "Miss, this little bastard is probably the one who recognizes the master, right? Only the people he recognizes are allowed to touch, and others are not allowed to touch?"
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Lu Xinyan thought of its weird owner, and wondered if this black cat might have the same eccentricities as his owner, and didn't like her things being touched by others!
Lu Xinyan looked at her hands, using these hands that someone believed belonged to him to touch his pet, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Xiao He, go get water, I'll wash it for you."
Xiao He quickly brought water and squatted aside to watch.
Lu Xinyan put the black cat into the water, and the black cat remained obedient and motionless, allowing her to rub bath beans on her body, stroke her fur, squint her eyes from time to time, and meow twice comfortably, looking like a cat uncle.
Xiao He was dumbfounded, "You little bastard, you really recognize the master! No, the young lady is mine, so don't fight me, you know?"
The black cat, who had been enjoying it with its eyes closed, actually opened it and meowed at Xiao He, how arrogant and arrogant it was.
"Miss, it-it-it..." Xiao He stared wide-eyed, pointing at the black cat it-it-it for a long time, and finally said, "Could it be a sperm?"
People say that things look like their masters!This black cat probably has Xiao Yichen's habits.
Lu Xinyan was noncommittal.
After bathing the black cat, Lu Xinyan brought a cloth towel, wrapped the black cat up, and dried it carefully, Xiao He enviously said: "Little bastard, you are so happy, Miss has never treated me like this? "
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, "Are you jealous with a cat?"
Xiao He murmured, "Miss, why not call him a little bastard from now on."
Little bastard, it sounds better than piggy!And there is a deep meaning that someone is a big bastard!Lu Xinyan nodded and agreed, "Okay, just call me little bastard, little bastard, where do you sleep tonight?"
The black cat seemed to be very dissatisfied with the name, and kept meowing a few times, but Lu Xinyan and Xiao He ignored it and talked on their own, the black cat had no choice but to break free from Lu Xinyan's grasp and jump onto Lu Xinyan's bed, Get into the bed, reveal the cat's head, and declare sovereignty!
Xiao He hurried over and said anxiously: "Little bastard, that's not where you sleep, come out!"
"Forget it, let it sleep with me, it just happens to be cold, so hug it to sleep warmly." Lu Xinyan stopped.
Xiao He felt that she was about to fall out of favor, so she pursed her lips, "Miss, you dote on the little bastard more than me."
Lu Xinyan smirked and winked at her, "Then why don't you stay tonight and warm my bed with the little bastard?"
When Xiao He didn't know the meaning of warming the quilt before, she would blushed unconsciously every time she was teased by Lu Xinyan, but now that she knew what warming the quilt meant, she blushed even more.
She stomped her feet, "Miss, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back to sleep!"
After that, the black cat bastard who changed his new name slept with Lu Xinyan in bed at night, and he was so happy that he didn't want to leave until someone came back, so angry that he wanted to peel his skin, and then he ended it. happy night life.
Qi Fei received the news two days ago that the grain shop under Lu Xinyan was being forcibly bought by someone. He was in a hurry, and it was hard to come forward directly. He waited for Lu Xinyan to come to him, but he waited and waited and waited. It was the news that Lu Xinyan decided to sell all those grain shops.
After he received the news, he knocked on the window early in the morning to wake up Lu Xinyan.
Lu Xinyan was sleeping soundly with the black cat in her arms. After being woken up, she put on her clothes and opened the window. After seeing a black figure hiding in the dark, she yawned, "Qi Fei, what happened early in the morning?"
"Miss, I heard that you sold all your grain stores?" Qi Fei asked.
"En." Lu Xinyan hummed as an answer, and then yawned again. The cold wind blew in, only dispelling a little drowsiness, but she was still sleepy.
Qi Fei said earnestly: "Miss, I know that the grain store business can't make a lot of money, but grain is the foundation of the people. At critical times, this grain is more useful than jewelry and jade!"
"Don't worry, you can buy it back after a while."
Qi Fei wanted to persuade him, but he suddenly heard Lu Xinyan say, "Ah".
About Gong Yu, Mr. Zhang had to provide so much information about Mr. Zhang that Lu Xinyan could ask Wu Zhen for help. Using the queen mother and the emperor to force Wu Zhe to come to ask for marriage in person, so Lu Xinyan endured sleepiness and patiently explained: "After your son and I analyzed the situation in the court last time, I have asked Mr. Li to secretly deploy an anti-acquisition plan. Anyone who dares to acquire any property under my name will be waiting to suffer the consequences."
"Anti-takeover plan? What plan?" Qi Fei asked curiously.
"You'll know after two more days." Lu Xinyan half-closed her eyes, "Qi Fei, it's still early, don't you want to go back and rest?"
It was because he thought he was disturbing her sleep, so Qi Fei had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, "Missy, take a good rest, and the younger one will go first."
The moment he left, a person came out of a room on the left, made eye contact with him, and after the two nodded quickly, Qi Fei's figure disappeared in an instant.
According to the rules of the Ankangbo Mansion, all the masters and masters in the mansion have to greet Gao in the morning to show her status as the mistress of the family.
Since the Gao family has been in charge, rain or shine has never stopped, even when she is sick.
There are nearly 50 people in the mansion including masters and aunts. Lu Xinyan feels that she is exhausted just by nodding and greeting. In her heart, she admires Gao's persistence.
Mrs. Gao was poisoned by arsenic last night. She took some medicine and had diarrhea. The young lady and master burst into tears.
Dissatisfied, Gao was carried away, not even Lu Xinyan and Lu Xinwan were left behind, so he nodded and let them go.
Qing Tong came with Lu Xinyan, "Miss, Second Miss will follow behind us."
"Oh, then walk slowly and see what tricks they play!" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
When passing by a small lake, Lu Xinyan stopped to watch the sparkling lake water.
The surface of the lake was blown by the wind, rippling outward layer by layer, Lu Xinyan picked up a stone and threw it into the water, the water splashed, forming circles of ripples in the middle.
Lu Xinyun, who was following behind, winked at Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan, and brought her two servant girls, approaching Lu Xinyan with malicious intentions.
Two maids surrounded Qingtong, one left and one right, while Lu Xinyun stood behind Lu Xinyan, stretched out her hands and pushed hard.
Just when her hands were about to touch Lu Xinyan, Qingtong suddenly dodged and jumped out from between the two maids, pulling Lu Xinyan away.
When Lu Xinyan left, she deliberately tripped over Lu Xinyun's feet. Lu Xinyun's center of gravity was unstable, and she threw herself forward. With a scream of "ah", she fell headfirst into the water.
The water in the lake was very shallow, only about knee level, and Lu Xinyun's entire upper body was buried in the lake water.
The bottom is probably mud, and I saw her kicking her feet in the air, which is very funny.
The two servant girls were stunned, and Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan behind were also stunned. After two breaths, when the foot showed signs of stopping, Lu Xinhan exclaimed: "Hurry up and save the fourth sister!"
The two maids quickly stretched out their hands, and the maids beside Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan also helped, and finally pulled Lu Xinyun up.
When coming out of the water, not only was Lu Xinyun's head and face covered in mud, but the blood was even more terrifying.
It turned out that after Lu Xinyun took the initiative to ask Ying to ruin Lu Xinyan's face yesterday, she ordered someone to pour some hard and sharp things such as broken bowls and gravels into the lake, preparing to push Lu Xinyan down today and ruin her face. Knowing that the result hurt himself.
After Lu Xinyun was rescued, she fell into a coma at first, and after the maid helped her clean up the mud from her nostrils and mouth, Lu Xinyun woke up from the pain.
After waking up, I cried, "My face, my eyes! Wow...! I'm done! Woo..."
Lu Xinyan let out a cold moan, and signaled Qingtong to leave together.
Lu Xinwan stopped her, "Lu Xinyan, why did you push the fourth sister into the water? She only said a few words to you yesterday, and you treat her like this, you are too poisonous! I want to tell my grandmother and let her uphold justice!"
"Lu Xinwan, whoever wants to push someone into the water will suffer the consequences, God knows you know me!" Lu Xinyan looked at her sideways, as if she was mentally retarded, "And even if I pushed, I Now that the Third Prince, Princess Chang'an, and Young Master Gongsun are protecting me, do you think grandma will blame me?"
Lu Xinwan said angrily: "You're shameless! You're prodigal! No wonder you were driven back! Sooner or later, the Third Prince and Gongsun Gongzi will see through your true colors and treat you like a poor woman!"
Lu Xinyan sneered: "Lu Xinwan, that day will never happen in this life!"
"Lu Xinyan!" Lu Xinwan pointed at her nose, "Don't be so complacent, one day, I will trample you under my feet!"
"Go back to sleep early, this dream will come true sooner." Lu Xinyan took two steps forward, seeing Lu Xinwan standing there refusing to let her go, she gave her a look, "Lu Xinwan, if you don't move away, believe it or not, I will throw you into the water go?"
Lu Xinwan's face was flushed red by her anger, she looked at Qingtong who was eager to try, and gritted her teeth to move away.
Before Lu Xinyan reached the Huanxi Courtyard, Nanny Ling who was beside Xiao Gao hurriedly caught up, "Miss, Madam asked the servant to invite you to the front hall."
"My mother died a long time ago, where is the madam?" Lu Xinyan asked with a faint smile.
Nanny Ling bit the bullet and changed her words, "Aunt Gao invites you to the front hall."
"What's the matter? I'm a little tired now. I didn't sleep well last night. I want to go back and rest." Lu Xinyan said lazily.
"The eldest son of the Shen family came to the door with a matchmaker and said that he wanted to marry the eldest lady! Ma'am... Aunt Gao couldn't help it, so she had to ask the eldest lady to go..."
Before Nanny Ling finished speaking, Lu Xinyan couldn't help but spit.
Isn't Shen Qingzhu that, has he been abolished?I heard that his wife's natal family cared about their daughter so much that they asked their daughter He Li to take her back. Could it be that the rumors are wrong, and it wasn't because of this matter that they were reconciled?
If there is no mistake, he is a useless person who dares to come to ask for marriage. Who will give him this face?
If it was something else, Lu Xinyan might not have gone, but it was related to her lifelong happiness, so she wanted to see how thick-skinned Shen Qingzhu was!
What Shen Qingzhu invited was a well-known official matchmaker in the capital. With a clever mouth, someone who dies can be said to live, like a flower can be blown into a beauty. Before Lu Xinyan arrived, she heard the matchmaker Liu say: "Mrs. Ankang, Mr. Shen Family background, reputation, appearance, talent, I don't need to say more, Liu Matchmaker, everyone in Beijing knows everyone, how many girls line up from the street to the end of the street, wanting to marry into the Shen family, let alone do it. Madam, even if you are a noble concubine and concubine, everyone is scrambling to be the first! Your young lady is favored by Mr. Shen, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes!"
Xiao Gao stayed with her smiling face the whole time, but she murmured in her heart, that was before Mr. Shen was abolished, who would send his daughter in to be a widow now?If Lu Xinyan didn't have a dowry, Xiao Gao would be more than happy to marry her to a useless person and be a widow for the rest of her life, but Lu Xinyan has such a large dowry in her hand, how could she be willing to marry someone out like this, to benefit the Shen family?
But the Shen family has a high position and authority, Shen Jingyun, the patriarch of the Shen family, is a famous writer with disciples all over the country, how could he dare to offend a small uncle's mansion in Ankangbo Mansion?
Xiao Gao could only keep smiling until his face became stiff, but he didn't speak.
Matchmaker Liu was not happy, "Mrs. An Kangbo, what do you mean? Mr. Shen came to ask for marriage in person, and showed such sincerity, isn't it enough? Is it necessary for Mr. Shen to come to the door in person? Your eldest lady, say It sounds good that He Li came back, but it sounds bad that he was chased back, it's rare that Mr. Shen doesn't dislike it, but you still push it back and forth, don't you think the Shen family is in your eyes?"
"I'm a divorced woman who was driven back. I think I'm not good enough. Please ask Mr. Shen to despise me." Lu Xinyan walked in from the entrance of the main hall, her beautiful face immediately brightened the whole main hall.
Although Shen Qingzhu has lost certain abilities, his aesthetics is still there. His vicious and stunning eyes swept across Lu Xinyan, and instantly changed to affectionate, "Xinyan, you are here."
His voice has changed during this month, the original clear and masculine voice is gone, it has become feminine and charming.
Lu Xinyan is covered in goosebumps and marches in a military salute. As a modern person, Lu Xinyan does not discriminate against sissies and homosexuals. On the contrary, sissies and homosexuals abound in the fashion circle. Willingness, choose the path you want to take, but Shen Qingzhu treats disgust as affectionate, how can it make people not want to vomit?
"Master Shen, I don't know you very well, please call me Miss Lu!" Lu Xinyan suppressed her nausea, but she really didn't know where Shen Qingzhu was so cheeky.
The fact that Shen Qingzhu was abolished was well known to the Shen family, but Shen Jingyun wanted face, and Shen Qingzhu wanted face, so he declared that he had been cured. The harmony of the family made them choose to reconcile.
Everyone in the capital knew this kind of self-deprecating statement, but due to Shen Jingyun's reputation, no one dared to say anything in person, and there were many discussions in private.
The more a person lacks something, the more he wants to prove something, especially for Shen Qingzhu.
Ever since his wife left, in order to save his own face, none of the aunts in the mansion were allowed to leave, not to mention, and tried all kinds of torture methods, tossing hard on the bed.
This is not enough, Shen Qingzhu, in order to prove that he is capable, started a few days ago, inviting his former friends to go to the brothel to find the top girl to spend the night, spending a lot of money, threats and perverted methods, making the brothel girl miserable, every night The screams made people sound like evidence that Shen Qingzhu was really cured, which made some people out of their minds, but they really started to believe it.
But Shen Qingzhu knew well that he was already a eunuch, and the more he pretended to be fine, the darker his heart became, especially whenever someone congratulated him on his revival, he wished he could stab that person into death with a knife. Blood hole, and at the same time turn the other party into a eunuch!
But what he hates the most, besides the person who ruined him, is Lu Xinyan!
He conspired with his younger sister Shen Yuyan to assassinate Lu Xinyan but failed, instead he was ashamed, and as a result, he was groped into the yard the next night to be crippled. Shen Qingzhu will never forget the extreme pain of despair in his whole life!
If it is said that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xinyan, Shen Qingzhu will not believe it anyway. Since he is in hell and killed his people, how can he let her live well in the world?
Previously, because Lu Xinyan was a blockbuster in the palace and was praised by the Empress Dowager and Princess Chang'an, Shen Qingzhu couldn't move. Now that she has severed ties with Lihui Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion, it is a great opportunity for him to take revenge!
So Shen Qingzhu persuaded Shen Jingyun to bring Matchmaker Liu over early in the morning, intending to use the Shen family's family background to threaten Ankangbo Mansion to compromise!
After marrying Lu Xinyan into the mansion, he will slowly use various means to torture her severely and torture her, so as to eliminate his hatred in his heart!
Who would have thought that Mrs. Ankang, who was so frightened to death, would not let go!Shen Qingzhu was so angry that he bleeds internally!
Now that the bitch Lu Xinyan didn't give him face, Shen Qingzhu slowly put away the smile on his face, showing a cold expression, and at the same time gave Liu Matchmaker a pressured look.
Matchmaker Liu trembled, straightened her back, and began to put pressure on Mrs. Gao, "Mrs. Ankang, I, Matchmaker Liu, have already talked dry, but you didn't say a word. What do you mean? If it doesn't work, you can directly Reject, so I can go back to old man Shen and ask him to come over in person!"
Xiao Gao swallowed her saliva and laughed, "Matchmaker Liu, you also know that I am not the eldest lady's biological mother, and I have no say in her marriage."
Matchmaker Liu said disdainfully: "Mrs. Ankang, what you said is really funny. You are now the hostess of Ankang's mansion. According to the rules, the eldest lady has to call you mother, and this marriage is naturally in the hands of the master!"
Xiao Gao was suddenly very lucky. Yesterday Lu Congyuan asked Lu Xinyan to call her Aunt Gao according to the way she used to call her. She laughed and said, "Matchmaker Liu, you don't know something. My master said yesterday that Missy doesn't need to call my mother. According to the previous name, call me Aunt Gao."
Matchmaker Liu, who has always been eloquent, was stunned. There is still such an operation?The ex-wife's concubine, instead of calling her stepmother her mother, called her aunt instead?How affectionate is An Kangbo for the former Mrs. An Kangbo?And how stupid is the current Mrs. Ancomber to tolerate such a thing?
Xiao Gao continued: "So I really can't make up my mind about the eldest lady's marriage, and it's useless if you force me."
Shen Qingzhu glanced at Matchmaker Liu, and Matchmaker Liu immediately complained: "Since Mrs. An Kangbo can't make the decision, why didn't you say it earlier, wasting so much of my saliva!"
Xiao Gao really wanted to spit on her, and a matchmaker also climbed on top of her to do her best!
If it weren't for the few children in my family who haven't found a suitable family yet, and have to rely on these official matchmakers, and the matchmakers are all talkative, Xiao Gao might be furious.
She cursed a few words in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Yes, yes, I forgot the master's instructions for a while before, and I just remembered when I saw the young miss."
"Then I will trouble you, please ask someone who can make decisions about the eldest lady's marriage to come out and speak up!" Matchmaker Liu said arrogantly.
Xiao Gao carefully said: "Matchmaker Liu, my aunt was poisoned by arsenic last night, and she is not in good health now, so she should not see guests."
"Arsenic poisoning? It's such a coincidence?" Matchmaker Liu naturally didn't believe it, thinking it was Xiao Gao's excuse.
"Last night, a maid accidentally spilled a little arsenic from a poisonous mouse into the dishes. Many people in the house, including me and my aunt, were poisoned. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Zhang in Huichun Hall. I invited him yesterday. Come and see." Xiao Gao said.
Matchmaker Liu saw that what she said was convincing and did not seem to be lying, so she looked at Shen Qingzhu, and seeing Shen Qingzhu's gloomy face, as if she would not give up until she reached her goal, she had to continue to ask: "Then now in this mansion, where is she going?" No one can be the master of your young lady?"
"That's not true." Xiao Gao didn't want Lu Xinyan to marry outside, but it didn't mean she didn't want to make Lu Xinyan feel sick, she whispered: "This young lady can be her own master!"
Lu Xinyan didn't need to guess, just looking at Xiao Gao's calculating eyes, she knew what she was thinking, her red lips were slightly raised and then quickly lowered.
Anyway, she didn't expect Xiao Gao to stand in the way for her!
Matchmaker Liu understood and began to be aggressive towards Lu Xinyan, "Miss, since you can be your own master, that's great! You heard what I said to Mrs. Ankang just now, Mr. Shen came to the door in person , I want to marry you as the grandson-in-law of the Shen family, how about you tell me?"
Lu Xinyan made a gesture of seeing off the guests sideways, "The door is over there, so walk slowly!"
Matchmaker Liu didn't expect that Lu Xinyan would not give any face, and she refused so directly, she was so angry that she said, "Miss Lu, you are a woman who returned home with Li, Mr. Shen fell in love with you, it is you You have cultivated good luck for several lifetimes, yet you are so ignorant of good and bad? Could it be that you are still thinking about a better marriage? It’s ridiculous! If the news of your contempt for Shen’s residence reaches the ears of literati, I’m afraid that your status in Kangbo’s residence will be safe. No guarantee!"
Xiao Gao chimed in maliciously, "That's right, miss, Mr. Shen is so sincere, how can you refuse?"
"Gao Auntie, the reason why I refused was not because I didn't know good and bad, nor did I look down on Mr. Shen, but because Li and I were too humble to be worthy of Mr. Shen, so I refused! Since Aunt Gao is so optimistic Mr. Shen..." Lu Xinyan looked at Mrs. Gao with a smile that was not a smile, and Mrs. Gao's heart skipped a beat, "Why don't you betroth Mrs. Shen to Mrs.
Xiao Gao almost jumped up in shock, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it is you that Mr. Shen is looking for, don't talk nonsense!"
"That's because Mr. Shen didn't see the beauty of this younger sister Xinwan. She has the beauty of the sky, the beauty of the fish and the wild goose. A man will be moved when he sees it." Lu Xinyan's eyes swept under Shen Qingzhu's abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, "Unless it is not Men will not be moved."
The look of contempt and ridicule made Shen Qingzhu very angry, and his face was sullen.
The stupid little Gao, just wanted to cover it up at this time, "Mr. Shen, my daughter is not as good as what the eldest lady said. No matter if she is a man or not, she will not be tempted when she sees her, really!"
Is it a man's words, which completely ignited Shen Qingzhu's anger, "Mrs. Ankang, since no one can decide on the marriage of the eldest lady, you can decide on the marriage of the second lady! I, Shen Qingzhu, now change to Second Miss proposes marriage, please call Mrs. Ankang Bo!"
