Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
"Miss, the slave maid has something unclear, please give me advice." After returning to the palace family, Qiao'er's attitude towards Lin Fangyu was much more submissive, and the eldest lady destroyed Young Master Ning's image in Jinyang in the past without a single soldier, which can not be described as powerful, nor can it be said that it is not ruthless. But she still didn't understand, what was the intention of the eldest lady?
"Why? You'll find out later. Lin Fang was silent but smiled, did he tell him that it was also part of the plan to bring down Ning Zhongcheng, or did he tell her directly that Ning Zhongcheng was Gong Miaoyin's future husband, her strong support, and Mrs. Gong's arm to be powerful and blessed in the future?
Qiao'er was very disappointed, but this disappointment didn't take long for her to hear Ziluo asking to see her outside, and Qiao'er, as Lin Fangyu's personal maid, still had to have the number of courtesies.
"The slave has seen the eldest lady." As soon as Ziluo came in, she respectfully blessed Lin Fangyu.
After Qiao'er was promoted to the eldest lady's personal maid, Ziluo was asked by Lin Fangfei to go, regardless of her previous suspicions, she was very good to her. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ziluo always felt that the second miss was not like the previous second miss, but it couldn't be said that there was anything weird. Every time she thought of the second lady's eyes looking at her, Ziluo couldn't help but tremble. After that day, she missed the days of serving Lin Fangyu even more, but Lin Fangfei supported her all day long, and she was not allowed to separate.
If she hadn't met that person, Ziluo wouldn't have made such a big decision.
"You are not waiting by the side of the second lady, why are you coming to me?" Lin Fangyu didn't even look at her.
Ziluo lowered her head and said calmly: "The slave maid is also a last resort. ”
I was afraid that Lin Fangyu would not believe it, and I also felt that Qiao'er was an eyesore, so I said: "The stakes are very high, please let the eldest lady retreat." ”
Qiao'er sneered, and then said, "The slave went down first." ”
Ziluo was still cautious, until she was sure that Qiao'er had stayed away, then she raised her head and said, "The slave has something important to report to the eldest lady." ”
"Oh?" Lin Fangyu leaned over, changed her sitting posture, and said, "You said come and listen." ”
Ziluo saw that the other party was not in a hurry, and she was a little anxious, so she accentuated her tone and said, "It's about Mama Jiang." ”
Mama Jiang is Mrs. Lin's companion, and she has a supreme position in the old lady's heart, and her affection with the eldest lady and the second lady is not unusual. So told her.
"You said it's Mama Jiang? Then I'd like to hear what happened to her? "Something happened, not something wrong. Prove that she doesn't believe what Purple Purple Lady says. Ziluo didn't see the anxiety in Lin Fangyu's eyes, she was a little disappointed, but was awkwardly looked at by the other party's direct gaze. She settled down and said: "The slave knows that Mama Jiang has always been the confidant of the eldest lady, if the slave is rash, the eldest lady will definitely feel that the slave and maid are slandered, everything, the eldest lady still has to see is believing." "People should trust what they see with their eyes.
"If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, it's better to wait until the time comes, go to the back garden in person, and see it at a glance."
"I know what you said, go down."
After experiencing the previous scene, Ziluo had already guessed that this was the result, so she was not reluctant, she stood up and was about to walk out, when she suddenly heard the person behind her ask her: "Ziluo, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but if this matter is not what you say, what should I do?" ”
"This ......" Ziluo didn't think about this problem at all, and the other party told her that she only needed to lead Lin Fangyu to the back garden, and there would be nothing to do with her. She categorically didn't think that if she failed, or if someone else had the intention to fool her, then how could she deal with herself when she was here with the eldest lady?
Fortunately, Lin Fangyu didn't say anything more, waved her hand, and let her out.
At nightfall, Lin Fangyu finished dinner early and went into the inner room. Qiao'er served on the side, except for a basin of water in the middle, no one ever came in or out.
And the Mama Jiang in their mouths seems to have evaporated from the world, and she has not appeared for a whole day.
At that time, the lights in the guest room were turned on, and two people came out of the inner room, the leader was dressed in fur, covered his face with a veil, only revealing bright eyes, and the one behind was dressed as a maid, not Lin Fangyu and Qiao'er, who was it?
According to Ziluo's words, the two went out at the right time, and only waited until the time to arrest the person.
The person who hid in the dark and watched waited until Lin Fangyu went out, and did not dare to go back to report until he witnessed the master and servant hiding in the grass.
The bamboo garden not far from the back garden is the courtyard of the Ning family's neglected eldest young master Gong Baixi, and this inconspicuous courtyard is also lit up at this time. But no one cares, this young master is not favored by the old lady, the perennial decoction is constant, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred days are like this, the oil lamp burns until dawn, the eldest young master sits up and sits, coughs constantly, like a dying person, the only difference is that the person who will die is asserted by the doctor to live no more than twenty, and now it seems that the situation is even worse.
Madame instructed to serve well, and the people followed this weak young master, no reward and no face, okay, you can still serve wholeheartedly during the day, and on such a night, there is only a deaf and blind grandmother by her side, and she has long been faltering, and it will take a long time to serve tea.
Gong Baixi smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed to the tea on the table and said, "The place is vulgar, there are really no good things to entertain, so you will drink it." ”
The tea residue in the tea cup is smeared layer by layer, and the taste is the same as chewing wax, which is really not a good tea. Lin Fang took a sip and said with a smile: "I came to visit late at night, and I disturbed Cousin Xi's rest." ”
"How? You saved me from fire and water, and I should be grateful to you. Gong Baixi said, falling a son, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner on the chessboard.
Lin Fangyu took the next step and said, "Cousin Xi doesn't have to be arrogant, with your talents, why do you need others to help, it's just that you don't want to." This is also where Lin Fangyu is puzzled, no matter how arrogant Mrs. Gong was in her previous life, how Lord Gong helped to abuse, Gong Baixi, who was framed, destroyed and hurt, did not say a word, nor was she dissatisfied. Even if he married later, nothing changed. It should be said that in his previous life, he was killed by Mrs. Gong!
Gong Baixi sighed and coughed lightly: "In the world, I can't write two palace characters with one stroke, it makes no difference whether I or my second brother get this palace family, not to mention... cough cough cough cough ....... "What's more, there is a capable mother-in-law behind the second brother, and she is strategizing behind the scenes, I believe that the Gong family will only be more prosperous in the future, which is better than burying it on him, a sick seedling."
Lin Fangyu smiled, and the fire flashed in her eyes: "If I tell Cousin Xi that my aunt chose my sister for Cousin Wang, will Cousin Xi believe it?" ”
"Bang dang" Gong Baixi's chess piece fell to the chessboard, just at this moment, the place in the back garden was full of flames, Lin Fangyu looked at the firelight, and said: "Cousin Xi still thinks that if you ignore it and sit idly by, you can save yourself?" ”
