Chapter 515: True and False County Lord Eight
Nangong Yan's expression froze, after all, what her mother cared about most was the identity of herself and Qin Muxue, I was afraid that she had been wronged by this family affair, and sure enough, Mrs. Nangong's face was not very good-looking, so she put the letterhead on the table and tapped it a few times.
"This eighth princess is usually very indifferent, and originally wanted to discuss the details of your marriage in private, but she gave me this letter when we met, saying that everything would be discussed later!
Therefore, you don't want to look for that boring, if you go to the Eight Kings' Mansion, you will be stopped and lose face. ”
Nangong Yan comforted: "Mother, don't worry, the child and Mu Xue have grown up together since childhood, what kind of character is she, can the child not know? ”
"Why did you do it secretly? Your marriage was instructed by the emperor, is she still delusional that she can't change it?"
"Why? It's just that I feel a little depressed about bypassing her as an aunt, I'll go and see if I know. ”
Such words made Mrs. Nangong also moved, Mu Xue is also a child who grew up by herself, this eighth princess can't say how good she treats Youxue, and she can't say how bad she is, in short, she is not very close, and she doesn't have much contact with the mansions in Beijing.
Looking at her son's expectant eyes, Mrs. Nangong shook her head, "Go, go, go! It's my extra move! You don't need to meet the eighth princess when you arrive at the mansion, just treat it as if you don't know anything about this letterhead." ”
Nangong Yan wanted this sentence, got up to make a gesture to his mother, and after sending Mrs. Nangong away, he also took the souvenirs and rushed to the Eight Princes' Mansion in a carriage, of course, he had secretly sent someone to infiltrate the Eight Princes' Mansion to investigate.
It is understandable to go out and come back to see the future father-in-law, and bring some gifts, if you drive yourself out, you will fall deliberately, and staggered five or six streets to the door of the Eight Princes' Mansion.
The entourage went to call the door, handed over the name card and the gift list and waited quietly here, after about a tea time, the second housekeeper who reported the message had not returned, Nangong Yan knocked on the carriage, and the entourage opened the door curtain.
"Go and urge, didn't Lord Xue never go out?" his voice was loud and a little cold.
Without waiting for the entourage to come forward to inquire, the second butler who had gone to report the news walked out quickly and hugged his fist towards the carriage.
"You've been waiting for Lord Nangong for a long time, please go to the flower hall with the little one!"
Nangong Yan nodded and didn't say much, he looked at the people of the Eight Princes' Mansion seriously, the guards and the second housekeeper themselves had never seen it, but they could recognize their identities at a glance, even if the master told them, it was impossible to conclude that after all, he was not wearing an official uniform.
Such a meticulous arrangement is a bit deliberate, besides, why have the subordinates in the palace changed so much?
He followed the second housekeeper towards the flower hall, sat down to fill the tea and stored water again, and sat for a small half an hour, 'Qin Muxue' was late, and his face was slightly pale, but from the details, he was still carefully dressed.
Nangong Yan got up to greet her, and after the guest and host sat down, 'Qin Muxue' withdrew from everyone.
He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "When I entered the door just now, I heard that Mu Xue was unwell, but now she is better?"
'Qin Muxue' Juanpa gently covered her mouth and nose, and looked at Nangong Yan delicately, "Thank you Brother Yan for coming to visit Mu Xue, I feel much better today, but I am very worried about Ling'er's safety." ”
Xu had doubts before she came, so no matter how she heard it, she felt that her voice and tone were different, Nangong Yan suppressed her anger, and pretended to look at 'Qin Muxue' worriedly.
"Why did Ling'er disappear?"
'Qin Muxue' shook her head and sighed, "I don't know, I left the mansion suddenly three days ago! I treated her like a sister, I don't know why I left, she has never left since she entered the palace at the age of eight, and I am afraid that leaving in such a hurry will be more than lucky!"
Tears crackled down his mouth as he spoke, and such a pear blossom with rain appearance must have made Nangong Yan feel distressed before, but now that he is in the same room like this, it will damage Mu Xue's reputation.
Nangong Yan got up and greeted the maid who was waiting outside, "Twist a hot cloth for the county lord, and then replace the cold tea!"
Such a stern voice made the maid Chunling who was waiting outside the door tremble, and hurriedly walked in with a copper basin and hot water, and another big maid Chunxing also went in to change the water, and there were more people in the room in an instant.
Nangong Yan continued as if he didn't know: "You Xue don't want to be sad, maybe you don't like to hear it, but I still have to say that it's a good thing that Ling'er is gone!"
'Qin Muxue' raised her head in surprise, with crystal teardrops hanging on her eyelashes, "What did Brother Yan say about this?"
Nangong Yan stared at 'Qin Muxue's eyes, and said seriously: "I know that you and Ling'er are sisters and like to share everything with her, but not everything can be shared, for example, are you willing to let me take her as a concubine and work together as a husband?"
Do you know that Ling'er has humbly asked me to accept her into the room many times without keeping her name? Every time she sends me away under the pretext of sending me away, she tries her best to seduce me? Such a virtuous woman is not something that Youxue should come into contact with. ”
With a 'snap' sound, the tea cup in Qin Muxue's hand fell in response, and the smashed hot tea was also sprinkled on her hand without knowing it, and at the same time, Chunling, who was twisting a handkerchief behind her, also fell to the ground with a loose copper basin in her hand, so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Nangong Yan didn't pause and blasted all the questions at 'Qin Muxue', and although Ling'er had the appearance and identity of 'Qin Muxue', Xin'er was still Ling'er's heart, and she was not strong enough to make herself believe that she was 'Qin Muxue'.
So talking about those and their humble past, it still made her shocked and scared and wanted to flee, but sitting in front of her was the youngest Dali Temple Shaoqing in the capital, no one could guess how deep the city government and mind were, she had to endure it.
Taking advantage of the gap between looking back at Chunling, Ling'er staggered her gaze and gasped for two breaths to calm her unsteady breath.
"Get up, just clean up, when did your county lord punish you, I was so frightened that the county lord's tea cup was broken, and I didn't go to replace it with a new tea!"
This sentence was simply an amnesty for Chunling, and she quickly stood up, cleaned up the broken tea cup, wiped the floor clean, and offered a new cup of tea.
Nangong Yan already knew it through the temptation just now, but she was getting colder and colder, she was most likely not Mu Xue, Mu Xue would not be so panicked when she heard such words, she would only refute herself immediately in annoyance.
"Now that people are gone, there is no need to look for them, what can they do? Mu Xue think about it carefully, I will leave first, the specialties and interesting objects brought back from Zhuzhou are all placed in the front yard, you can bring them over! ”
Saying that, he got up and said goodbye, Ling'er knew that his reaction just now made Nangong Yan feel suspicious, so he returned a little disappointed, but he couldn't explain more at this time.
Because too many explanations made people feel that they were covering up something, Ling'er got up and bowed slightly.
