Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 16

Wuzhu smiled maliciously.

Concubine Rong said in horror: "Don't bring San Elder Brother into this!"

"Why not!" Wuzhu said stubbornly, "Since the third elder brother is going to do great things, he must be able to withstand the test of love. Doesn't Eniang want to see how strong the third elder brother's heart is?"

Concubine Rong's wrist was held by her, and there was a little pain, but her heart was moved by her words.

The reason why Wuzhu didn't like Lingbo back then was because she had some unclear relationship with the third elder brother Yinzhi.Wuzhu dislikes court ladies the most, so they try to speculate and sneak into elder brother's bed.How can a lowly slave be worthy of a son of a dragon and a grandson of a phoenix?So she deliberately asked Concubine Rong to replace the trial marriage Gege with Lingbo, just to see her body broken, to see her abandoned, and to see her wishful thinking come to naught.

If Yinzhi knew that Ling Bo was accused of marrying Bo Zhe, what would he do?
The third elder brother was born by Concubine Rong, and it has been 50 years since the reign of Emperor Kangxi. The elder brothers are big-hearted, and they are eager to move about that chair. In addition to family affection, power status also pushes their mother and son to form an alliance of interests.Concubine Rong is full of expectations for the third elder brother. She really wants to see if Yinzhi has the cold heart to do great things.

The debris in the house has been cleaned up, and Wu Zhu, under the service of the court ladies, changed into plain clothes, and took off all the jewelry on her head and face. There are only two pearls on her earlobes, and a simple and elegant silk flower on her hair.

Buddhist scriptures were spread out on the desk, some water was poured on the inkstone, and spices were changed in the incense burner.

A court lady took out a piece of new ink, and was just about to stretch it on the inkstone, when she heard a report from outside, saying that the third elder brother had come.

The third elder brother Yinzhi strode in in a blue and white robe with four slits trimmed with black borders.The long face is exactly the same as that of Kangxi, but the Danfeng eyes are quite similar to Concubine Rong, which shows the blood relationship between mother and child.

Wu Zhu ordered people to serve tea, and she went up to greet her with a smile and said, "Third brother is here."

Yin Zhi didn't have much expression on his face, he just nodded and said, "Emiang sent someone to tell me that you need me for something?"

Wuzhu tilted her head, a slight light flashed in her eyes.

"Third brother, do you know what happened today?"

Yinzhi has long been away from the government, and has an errand, so he doesn't often walk around in the palace, and it only happened at noon, so naturally he doesn't know.

Wuzhu lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My marriage to Bozhebeile, Prince Jane's residence, has been cancelled."

"Ah?" Yin Zhi was slightly surprised, "How is it possible?"

Wuzhu then told him about Lingbo's trial marriage, Mi Sihan's complaint, and the queen mother's finger-pointing.

"That Lingbo turned out to be Gege from Fucha's family, a first-class noble daughter. Now she pointed it out to Baylor in Prince Jane's mansion, do you think it's a well-matched marriage?" Wu Zhu looked up from the corner of her eyes. He unintentionally twisted the handkerchief with his fingers.

Yinzhi was a little distracted, and noticed that Wu Zhu's eyes were probing, and turned his head and said, "Bo Zhe is the man you like. Your marriage has been cancelled, and you are so calm?"

Wuzhu twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a bitter smile: "The queen mother pointed out the marriage, Huang Ama acquiesced, I'm just an idiot, so what can I do. It's you, third brother," she raised her chin slightly, staring at Yin Yin Zhizhi's eyes, "Don't you have any thoughts about the marriage between Fuchagege and Bozhe?"

Yinzhi said lightly: "What does their marriage have to do with me?"

"Is that so..." Wu Zhu bit her lower lip, with a hint of slyness in her eyes, "I heard some servants talking nonsense in the past two days, Ling Bo met the third elder brother several times in the palace, it seems to be a rumor gone."

Yinzhi glanced at her: "Since she works at Erniang's place, she has seen me a few times, so it's no surprise."

Wuzhu nodded: "She was originally just a little-known concubine daughter of the Fucha family, and she was also a slave in the palace, but now she has become the empress dowager's adopted daughter, the most honorable Gege in Beijing, and married with Prince Jane's mansion." Honey, it can be said that a sparrow flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix. I don't know if she is lucky or too scheming..." She lowered her voice and looked at Yinzhi.

Yin Zhi's face turned cold: "You should stop worrying about other people's affairs. If there is nothing else, I will go first."

He turned around and saw the maid standing by the desk holding a piece of ink, so he turned back to Wu Zhu and said, "Copying Buddhist scriptures requires sincerity, and you have to sharpen the ink yourself."

After all, he simply lifted his foot and went out.

Wu Zhu froze for a moment, glanced at the ink in the maid's hand, and couldn't help biting her lower lip deeply.

It was already Shen's time when Ling Bo woke up, there were only Xiu Shu and Rui Dong in the room, waiting for her to get up, wash and change clothes.

"Where's the screen?" Ling Bo asked casually.

Xiu Shu was helping her tidy up her clothes, and replied, "Fu Jin just sent someone to call her away."

Ling Bo was about to nod his head when Yue Zhu rushed into the door in a panic.

"Gege, Huaping called someone to call me!"

She was a little loud because of her panic, which startled all three people in the room.

Ling Bo was surprised and said: "What's going on? What was beaten? Explain clearly!"

Yuezhu twisted the handkerchief, and said anxiously: "Just now Huaping was called by Fujin to question him, and for some reason offended Fujin, he said that he told his mother-in-law to beat the board hard, and carried it back on his stomach. The slave only took a look, It's scary..."

She seemed to be really frightened, with faint tears rolling in her eyes.

Ling Bo asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

"Just carried it back to her room."

The four masters and servants hurried out of the upper room and walked quickly to Huaping's room.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Huaping lying on the couch, and two little maids standing in front of the couch, one with medicine in his hand, and the other pulling the quilt covering her back to give her the medicine.

Huaping held the corner of the quilt with both hands in turn, and cried: "What kind of medicine do you apply, let me die!"

Ling Bo frowned slightly, and Xiushu immediately shouted: "Huaping, what are you talking about! Gege came to see you, because he loves you, why don't you let the little girls give you medicine."

The painting screen was mottled with tears, covered his face with his hands and said: "Ge Ge loves me, but I really don't have the face to face others, I might as well die!"

She was beaten in Fujin's house, and many servants and maids saw her with their own eyes, and she was carried back all the way by the mother-in-law. Now the whole family must know about it.She was originally the big servant girl next to Gege, and she just took up the post, and it was the time when the spring breeze was in full bloom. When this incident happened, many people laughed at her behind her back, and she lost all dignity. He looked up and walked in front of him.

Although Ling Bo has not yet fully integrated into this era, he is not a fool. Huaping's crying and fussing is nothing more than showing her and asking her to make decisions.

"What is life and death? You are the big maid in my house, and you should be an example for everyone. Fujin beat you because he has expectations for you. You don't talk about improvement, but you still cry like this, and you will suffer even if you are wronged." No, how can I use you in the future?!"

She didn't like the pretentiousness of the painting screen very much, so her expression became a little serious, and her voice was unconsciously a little heavy.

Although Huaping was covering her face, she kept watching Ling Bo's face between her fingers. Seeing that she seemed to be really angry, she quickly stopped crying and stopped crying.
