Chapter 169: Hidden Things
The eldest lady entered the door, took off the purple embroidered orchid satin fox fur jacket she was wearing, although the autumn weather is not too cold, but now she is the key protection of the person, not to mention the elderly, with children, this body is mostly unbearable, the doctor told to strengthen the warmth, so as not to suffer from the cold, affecting the fetus.
Then, he ordered Cai's mother to guard at the door, and he sat opposite Master Zhang.
Master Zhang didn't speak, squinted his eyes and looked at the eldest lady for a while, and suddenly said, "Miss Lan Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately?"
The eldest lady was taken aback and stared at the person in front of her for a long time. Lan Xin was her maiden name when she was not married, and since she married in the capital, she has gradually lost contact with her mother's family, and this name has gradually been forgotten.
Even her husband now, the eldest lord of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, doesn't know her nickname, only knows that her nickname is Chen Fangyun.
The eldest lady had a shocked expression on her face, after all, this name involved her past, and her past was indeed impossible to tell on the stage.
"You...... Who are you, and how do you know my former name?" asked the eldest lady with a forced composure.
Master Zhang smiled sadly: "As for how I know, the eldest lady doesn't need to ask." But I want to ask the eldest lady, does the eldest lady still remember the young man on the bank of the Qinshui River?"
The eldest lady's face turned completely white, her body shook twice, and she held on to the edge of the table to stabilize her body, and her words trembled: "Who are you?"
"The old man, the old man. Master Zhang was very satisfied to see the eldest lady's reaction. This proves that she has not forgotten the incident many years ago, but is deeply imprinted in her heart.
He said: "The young man on the bank of the Qinshui River many years ago has never forgotten the eldest lady, but he did have a hard time back then. That's not saying goodbye. ”
"Hugh will have to mention him to me again!" said the eldest lady through gritted teeth. At that time, she was young and vigorous, and was teased by a handsome young man on the bank of the Qinshui River, but she was angry, and she came to find the bad luck of that son every day, and she never thought that this coming and going would have a good impression of each other.
He told her. He is a merchant who travels from south to north, and he may not be able to stay long when he passes through this place. But she didn't mind, she was willing to wait for him to come back.
However, he has not been back since he left. She waited a long time. Wait until the matter is revealed. He also did not reappear. So, she was forced to follow her family's arrangement, marry in the capital, and break off with the past.
As for this past, she has since sealed it and no longer thinks about it. Over time, it was gradually forgotten. If it weren't for the person in front of you. She thought she was listening to someone else's story.
"Who are you, sent by him?" questioned the eldest lady. "Since you already know what I am doing with him, surely he told you. Well, you go and tell him that I have forgotten about him, and tell him not to disturb my life again. ”
Anyway, she didn't want to stay a quarter of an hour longer, so she turned to leave.
"Is the eldest lady really leaving?" Master Zhang smiled sympathetically again, "Don't the eldest lady know such a sentence, a hundred days of husband and wife in one night?"
The eldest lady stood in place, like five thunderbolts. How did this person know that this matter was so secret? She couldn't help but ooze cold sweat from her palms, and slowly turned around and stared at the person: "What else do you know?"
Master Zhang smiled: "Don't be nervous, I don't know much, and it's just one or two things." Oh yes, that eldest prince is okay now, so many years have passed, and the eldest prince should now reach the age of the weak crown, right?"
The eldest lady almost collapsed on the ground, only faintly felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She bracked herself up, pointed at Master Zhang and said, "You listen to me, if you dare to beat my Chun'er's idea, I won't let you go regardless of whether you are from Shouwang Mansion or not!"
Master Zhang didn't look threatened at all, and took a sip of tea with a leisurely expression: "The eldest lady is too worried, how dare I go to the prince of the Shouwang Mansion when I am a little master of the Shouwang Mansion?"
The eldest lady was stunned: "The prince of Shouwangfu?"
Master Zhang said quietly: "The eldest lady may not know that the young man on the bank of the Qinshui River back then was King Shou. ”
The eldest lady was taken aback: "Impossible!"
How handsome and chic the young man on the banks of the Qinshui River was back then, if not, how could she look down on him as a young lady from a local big family?
But what about today's Shouwang, who has a fat head and big ears, and is full of fat and meat, it is impossible to see how handsome he was in the past. And the reputation is extremely bad, what young girls do you like, in the entire Shouwang Mansion, there are groups of wives and concubines, competing for wind and jealousy all day long, making smoke and gas, and becoming the laughing stock of the whole capital.
But one thing is very strange, although King Shou raised more than ten or twenty concubines, none of them could give birth to a son and a half daughter.
Therefore, everyone in the capital is rumored that if you say that the person who has the least ambition for the throne is afraid that it is King Shou.
The eldest lady was shocked: "That young man back then, really ...... Is it really King Shou?"
Master Zhang smiled, took out half an emerald jade jade bracelet from his arms, and handed it to the eldest lady: "Does the eldest lady remember this?"
The eldest lady's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but believe what the person in front of her said.
It's strange to say, but any token of engagement must be a pair. But back then, the young man was just passing by the Qinshui River, and he had no intention of meeting the eldest lady when he was not out of the cabinet, and there was nothing other valuable except for a jade bracelet written by Master Liuyun. So he divided the jade bracelet into jade, as a token of love, saying that it would be recognized in the future, and that when the time came, it would be combined and made into a bracelet with gold and jade, which would be passed down from generation to generation.
The eldest lady also has this half of the bracelet, in the end, she still can't forget the young man, otherwise she won't put the half of the jade bracelet and not throw it away, and she will desperately give birth to the eldest son.
Master Zhang stood up and gave the eldest lady a long bow: "Congratulations, eldest lady, you finally found the old man." ”
After the shock, the eldest lady calmed down, knowing that such a thing could not be said clearly in a sentence or two, and the person in front of him clearly said his most secret thing, and he must have a plan. She folded back, sat down in her chair, and stared at the man: "Ming people don't speak secretly, and you already know it, say, what is the purpose of coming to me?"
Master Zhang smiled: "The eldest lady is really a cheerful person." Actually, I'm just here to pass on a message, Lord Shou wants to see you. ”
The eldest lady said: "It's been so many years, I'm a wife, what do you do when you see me?"
After speaking, the eldest lady sighed slightly, and added: "Let him not come to me again in the future." ”
The eldest lady walked out slowly, and at this moment, the voice of Master Zhang behind her slowly remembered: "Doesn't Madame want to fight against Miss Gu Wu in your mansion? Now that the prince has fallen in love with her, if it weren't for the help of our Shouwang, do you think you can really beat her? Also, I forgot to tell you that the incident where the tenant farmer came to make trouble, and the matter of your sister-in-law's death, are all related to her!"
"What did you say?!" the eldest lady was once again startled. (To be continued......)
