Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 242 Secret Rumors
Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good, that's good."

After Jing Ning and the others chatted with Lan Qian for a while, Lan Yao saw that they were all standing at the door, not feeling well, so she said, "Let's go into the room and talk about it."

"it is good."

After several people entered the room, the maids poured tea for the young ladies and left consciously.

Jing Ning glanced at Lan Yao, who was sitting beside her with a smile on her face, and felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood. Although she was still fighting with them as before, she always felt that she was not as happy as she appeared on the surface.

Jing Ning was a little worried when she heard A Yuan talk about Chen Zhi and her, but now seeing Lan Yao like this, she felt that the matter was more serious than expected.

"Yaoyao?"

Lan Yao was thinking about something at first, but when she heard Jing Ning call out to herself suddenly, she came back to her senses, with a smile on her face, "What's the matter?"

She looked up and found that Jing Ning was looking at her seriously, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lan Yao's heart warmed, and she smiled, knowing what Jing Ning was worried about. She has been confined in the house since the day her grandfather found the sachet these days, and she was not allowed to go anywhere.Grandpa asked herself to embroider a few more sachets for the family, so she was afraid of making him angry again, so she obediently embroidered the sachets for Chen Zhi secretly in the house during the confinement period, while taking time to embroider for others. After several days of embroidering in this way, my needlework speed is much faster, but it is accompanied by pain in my hands.

Later, when Lan Qian came back, Grandpa also knew that he and Qianqian were close, so he released his restraint and let him spend more time with Qianqian.But in this way, he couldn't go out again.

Lan Qian noticed the interaction between her sister and Jing Ning's eyes, and knew in her heart that they had something to say. After thinking about it, she decided that she shouldn't bother her. A smile appeared on her pale face, "Sister, I'm going back first."

Then he looked at Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan again, "Sister Jing Ning, sister Xiao Yuan, that Qianqian is leaving first."

Lan Yao told the maid beside Lan Qian to take good care of the young lady, and after repeated instructions, Lan Qian was relieved to leave.

After Lan Qian left, Jing Ning asked, "Yaoyao, how are you recently?"

Lan Yao's eyes darkened for a moment. In fact, although she didn't like being tied up at home, she was sad because her grandfather grounded her, but what made her more concerned was that she had embroidered the sachet but had no chance to see Chen Zhi, and had no chance to embroider the sachet. It is very sad to hand it over to the man I like.

"It's not very good." In front of her good sister, Lan Yao didn't want to make any more cover-ups, so she admitted it straightforwardly.

Although Qianqian is back, and my sister whom I haven't seen for a long time has finally returned home, although I am very happy in my heart, I still feel a little melancholy.

Xiao Yuan pursed her lips, "Is it because of Chen Zhi?"

Lan Yao frowned, and asked a little puzzled, "What happened to Chen Zhi?"

Jing Ning and Lan Yao looked at each other, Jing Ning hesitated, "Don't you know, Yaoyao?" Seeing Lan Yao's puzzled face, he continued, "All the officials in the court know about you and Chen Zhi."

"What?" Lan Yao's voice instantly increased a lot, "How come?"

Lan Yao frowned, although she felt that there was nothing wrong with her being with Chen Zhi, she was just worried about Duke Fu, so she didn't want others to know.But now Jing Ning told himself that those officials knew about it now, would it be detrimental to Fu Guogong? What should I do if it gets to the ears of the emperor?
"Who passed it on?" Although Lan Yao is usually careless and looks clumsy, she often turns her head quickly when encountering things. She thought that she had very little contact with Chen Zhi, and the only time recently was when she invited him to the suburbs For fun, but Xiao Yuan and his brother and Feng Ting also came together, and others would not lock themselves and Chen Zhi all at once.

"I don't know." Jing Ning shook his head, "A Yuan's brother knew about it accidentally, and A Yuan and I guessed that it was done by someone with a high official position."

Jing Ning paused, "Perhaps he is still someone who has always been at odds with Fuguo Gongfu."

Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan shared their analysis and guesses with Lan Yao, and Lan Yao looked serious after hearing this.

"My grandpa should already know about this matter." Lan Yao said, no wonder Grandpa hasn't visited Lan Qian after Lan Qian went home these days, he must be busy with this matter.

Thinking of this, Lan Yao felt a little guilty. She was able to grow up happily under the blessing of Fuguo Gongfu. Since she was a child, her grandfather and brothers loved her very much, and she could have whatever she wanted, no matter how unreasonable the request was. Trying to satisfy himself, but now, he has brought such a big trouble to Fuguo Duke's Mansion.

Jing Ning saw Lan Yao's annoyance, held her cold hand, and comforted her: "It's okay, everything will be fine. Duke Fu is so powerful, he has never seen any big storms, and he will solve it. Besides, A Yuan and I I'll help you too, right Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, with a look of righteous indignation, "I'll ask my brother to investigate when I get back, and find out who is behind the scenes. This person is too hateful. When he is found out, he must be taught a lesson."

"You are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright. Don't worry about it." Jing Ning naturally knew what Lan Yao was worried about, and what she was also afraid of.It was simply because of Chen Zhi's identity that he was afraid that the emperor would think that Duke Fu had a connection with the State of Qi. After all, Duke Fu was a high-ranking official. If the emperor misunderstood him, it would be a serious matter.

"I know." Lan Yao pursed her lips, she was not afraid of the slanting shadow. Although she knew this truth, she still couldn't take it lightly when it involved herself, after all, she was connecting with the whole family.

"Did your grandfather ground you because of this?" Jing Ning asked.

"No, not all." Lan Yao wanted to deny it directly, but thought, what if grandpa guessed the current situation after he found out about himself and Chen Zhi, so he grounded himself in advance?This is also possible.

"The sachet I gave Chen Zhixiu was seen by grandpa."

"Sachet?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of her good sisters, Lan Yao curled her lips, "Why, can't you?"

"Can't you tell? Yaoyao, how is your embroidery?" Xiao Yuan teased.

"Take it out for our reference." Jing Ning smiled.

"Reference? Jing Ning, don't you want to embroider one for my brother?" Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly. If his brother knew about this, maybe he would go crazy with joy.

Jing Ning bowed her head in embarrassment, "If you're in a good mood, embroider for him."

"Alright, alright, Yaoyao, quickly bring your sachet." Jing Ning quickly changed the subject.

Lan Yao stood up and took out an embroidered sachet from under the pillow.The main color is white, but it is embroidered with fire-like red plums. The red plums are cool and cold, but the red plums embroidered by Lan Yao look very coquettish for some reason.

The coquettish plum blossom is just like that coquettish person.
