Chapter 626: Eavesdropping (Second Update)
Mrs. Xiang's invitation? Does she have that face? Lu Shi's legs trembled with fright, unless she was not afraid of being sent to the official mansion, she dared to go to that Ling eldest girl to pretend to accept kindness.
"No, no, girl," Lu didn't dare to be vague any longer, "The girl I rescued will definitely not be an official girl, I remember she said that his father was gone on the way to the exam, and their sister and brother went to Beijing to take refuge in the shopkeeper's uncle, how could they become the eldest daughter of the squire's family, impossible." ”
It's a pity, where did Qiu Yanran listen? In the previous life, Ling Xiang'er's actions to repay the Lu family for saving his life were well known, and in this life, the Lu family also said that he did save a pair of sisters and brothers, who else could it be if it wasn't Ling Xiang'er?
"I said yes, you can go with confidence," Qiu Yanran said a little impatiently, "Even if you save someone, it's just a stranger you meet for the first time, how can they tell you your true identity?"
"This ......" Lu wanted to cry without tears, how did Qiu Yanran think that she had saved Miss Ling's sister and brother? Could it be that there was some conspiracy in it, and she was used as a raft? Lu Shi treated others with himself and began to open conspiracy theories in his brain.
"That's it," Qiu Yanran sighed, "Ling Shilang will be my eldest brother's official in the future, I will hand over a greeting to Miss Ling, and then you follow me, and then you and Miss Ling will naturally be able to recognize each other." In case I'm really mistaken, it's okay for us to treat it as an ordinary visit, so you won't be afraid, right?"
Lu Shi nodded in response, this is better than letting her go directly to the door to pretend to be a benefactor, if she has a choice, of course she doesn't even want to go, but what can she do? Sure enough, she knew that pie would not fall from the sky to her.
Qiu Yanran really had bad intentions, did she want to force her to pretend to be a benefactor to calculate Miss Ling, and then frame Miss Ling for being ungrateful? I don't want to think about empty words, and she has no evidence in her hand to prove that she has saved Miss Ling, what if people find a real life-saving benefactor to confront her? This is obviously a lie that is easy to be exposed, really the Ling family is a fool, and the government is a decoration?
Where could Qiu Yanran have thought that the Lu clan had conspired this matter to this point? and glanced at her again: "Okay, you go down first, and when we hand over the prayer note and get a reply, I'll look for you again." ”
The Lu family was also happy to retire quickly, and when he went out, the Ji family happened to walk in, and couldn't help frowning when he saw her running away in a hurry with a sad face.
"What's going on?" asked Ji as soon as he entered the room, "What does Mrs. Lu look like?"
Qiu Yanran roughly said her conversation with the Lu family: "On weekdays, she is quite shrewd, but I didn't expect to be so timid. ”
Ji Shi disagreed: "Yan'er, do you think there is something wrong in this? With Lu Niangzi's character, if you really saved people, hearing you tell you the identity of the person, it is not like seeing a big fat meat to pounce on it? How can it be so pushy?"
Qiu Yanran was stunned, and then carefully tasted the reaction of the Lu family just now, and suddenly became a little uncertain, mainly because there are indeed too many variables in this life, could it be that there are also variables here in the Lu family?
Suddenly, Qiu Yanran had a stirring in her mind, the eldest daughter? Yes, Ling Xiang'er was obviously a concubine in her previous life, but in this life, she is the identity of the eldest daughter, could it be that in this life, their sister and brother were not framed and did not suffer on the way to Beijing?
How dare the Lu clan deceive her? Qiu Yanran's eyes swelled with fierceness. She can't deal with Yin Zhiruo now, can't she deal with the Lu family? If the Lu family really deceives her, she will definitely make the Lu family pay the price!
The Ji family was taken aback by Qiu Yanran's eyes: "Yan'er, before you enter the Five Princes' Mansion in An'an, there can't be any more mistakes, it's not worth it for such a cheap thing." Let's keep her for the time being, cheap things also have the use of cheap things, especially in places like the Five Princes' Mansion. "How can the backyard of the Prince's Mansion be stopped? There are some things that people like the Lu family can do best, and if something goes wrong, they will cut off their tails when they should cut them off.
Qiu Yanran nodded, "There is no harm in me visiting Mrs. Ling and Miss Ling, after all, Lord Ling will be Qiu Yiran's Shangguan in the future, and he is also a member of the prince's family, and he has also been the teacher of the Fifth Prince." "When Ling Zhengfeng was in the Hanlin Academy in his early years, he was named by the emperor to teach the fourth prince and the fifth prince for a period of time.
The most important thing is that she is unwilling, and she is willing to give up only after confirming with her own eyes that the Lu family does not know Ling Xiang'er at all and has not saved Ling Xiang'er.
The Ji family agrees with this, Qiu Yiran really has some talents, and at the moment they can only fully support Qiu Yiran, and let Qiu Yiran and his wife support the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion before they can make other plans.
"I came here to tell you something good," Ji said with a smile, "Isn't that fool of the Ding family sick? I heard that it is getting worse and worse, and the Ding family wants to marry Ke Qiaoqiao as soon as possible, so they also gave an extra dowry of six taels and five thousand taels of silver, which will be sent over tomorrow." I thought, these extra gifts will be divided equally between you and Xiran, and you will have a lot of things to accompany you. "She only left a part of the useless things for Ke Qiaoqiao to take as a dowry when the time came, and the valuable ones were either put in the dowry prepared for Yan'er, or secretly exchanged for silver.
"It's okay to send her away as soon as possible, so is she coming to the capital with Qiu Yiran this time?"
Ji Shi nodded and said in a low voice: "I have already talked to your father before, and this time I was originally going to let Ke Qiaoqiao and Qiu Yiran come over, and those two should arrive in the capital in a few days." I hope that the dead old woman has a spirit in the sky, and she will soon be able to see Qiu Yiran marry his own sister to a fool who is sick to death. ”
"Crackling", the sound of something breaking outside the window.
"Who?" Qiu Yanran's face changed, and she rushed to the window to look outside, and saw the figure of a cat flashing.
Caixiu, who was guarding the door, heard Qiu Yanran suddenly screaming in the house, and hurriedly knocked on the door: "Girl, what's wrong?"
"Come in," Qiu Yanran said to Caixiu who pushed the door in, "You go and take a look and ask, did anyone pass by this window just now." She still trusts Caixiu's loyalty and ability, and believes that Caixiu will understand what she means.
Sure enough, Caixiu frowned and nodded in response: "Yes, the slave will go and ask the housekeeper to gather everyone to see who picked up the purse that the girl dropped under the window, it has just rained, and the mud under the window is still wet." ”
At this time, Lu Shi, who was still under the big upside-down basket under the window, didn't dare to take a breath.
