Ancient sage cloud: "The old hatred is a lifetime of tears and light songs, just waiting for the beloved Gu Pavilion to accompany you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The stars are dotted, and the heavens are wishing. Seek a good person and stay with each other in the world. ”
At the back door of the Du's Prime Minister's Mansion, an extremely simple carriage and horse stopped. The coachman wore a hat, lowered his head, couldn't see his face, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived."
The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted by a hand, and Zikou got out of the carriage first, looked around, as if to inspect something, and then said to the car: "Miss, everything is safe, they didn't follow." ”
"Hmm." Answering softly, Du Weiwei got out of the carriage. I saw that the woman in front of me was wearing a water-blue wide-sleeved hibiscus skirt, with a fluttering figure, as soft as a boneless, a water-white hosta inserted in a single wind bun with a very dignified water-white hosta, and a slight hair on one side. On the fair-skinned face, a pair of water-cut autumn pupils shimmered, revealing a hint of cleverness. The lips under the small nose are slightly pursed, and there is a steadiness that a fifteen-year-old girl should not have.
"Shen Mu, park the car at the back door of the Third Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Those people must still be looking for us, and since they want to harm me, it is better for them to suffer some of their own suffering. Du smiled slightly, and commanded the coachman, as if he was confident in mastering everything.
"Yes, miss." Shen Mu took the order and left.
After entering the Weiyuan, Zikou opened her mouth and was full of anger: "Miss, don't you really need to tell Xiangye about this?" The Fourth Courtyard has made things difficult for us three times and twice, and this time they actually found someone on the road who wanted to assassinate you, which is simply too much! ”
Du Weiwei took Zikou's hand, affectionate like a sister: "My good Zikou, isn't this you." ”
Zikou snorted lightly, but she still couldn't hide her concern for Miss: "But Miss, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are also the most noble Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion." How can you just let them go! ”
Du Weiwei entered the room, found an extremely comfortable position and lay down on the couch, and then said leisurely: "Zikou, have you thought about it, why is there a total of four ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and only these three or four rooms are the trouble for me?" ”
Zikou poured a glass of water and gave it to Du Weiwei: "Isn't it because you are a concubine?" ”
"Wrong." Du took a sip of tea slightly, and the clear spirit in his eyes looked extremely good, "If this is the reason, why not embarrass me in the previous two or three years?" ”
Zikou was stunned, thinking about how to answer. Shen Mu's voice happened to come from the courtyard: "Miss, everything has been done." ”
The light in Du Weiwei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he sat up all of a sudden, and took Zikou's hand out of the room.
In the courtyard, Shen Mu stood silently, and Zikou obediently stood at the bottom of the steps with her head bowed. Du Weiwei stood on the steps, his hands folded on his abdomen, with a smile on his face but not under his eyes, the aqua blue skirt was slightly blown by the wind, although he was just a woman, he had a momentum that looked at the world.
Time seemed to stand still, it seemed that a long time had passed, Du smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to watch the show." ”
Before he walked out of the door of Weiyuan, a small servant hurriedly ran into the courtyard: "Miss, the master asked you to go to the council hall quickly!" ”
Du frowned slightly, but he still responded with a smile: "I know, I'll go over immediately." ”
Zikou naturally noticed her young lady's expression, and after the little girl left, she hurriedly asked, "Isn't there a mistake?" ”
The corners of Du Weiwei's mouth hooked up a smile: "The third lady still has some means, otherwise we should go to the third courtyard instead of the council hall at this time, let's go." "Leave Shenmu to watch the yard, with Zikou following, Du Weiwei will not have anything wrong.
When he was still some way away from the council room, Du Weiwei ran into Yusheng, the lady of the second room.
"Hello Miss." The second lady blessed Du Weiwei's body.
Du Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward and helped the second lady: "The second mother doesn't need to be polite, they are all their own family, and they don't need these complicated etiquette." ”
The second lady looked submissive: "The eldest lady is a descendant, so we naturally can't compare." After saying that, he kept his head down, as if he was very scared.
Du didn't speak slightly, looked at the second lady thoughtfully, and then still had a harmless smile, waved his hand and walked towards the conference hall.
After Du Weiwei walked out for a long time, Yusheng raised his head, and the viciousness in his eyes had never been before: Du Weiwei!
In the distance, Du Weiwei had a clear expression, but there was a sharp look in the phoenix eyes, is the second lady?
Before entering the conference hall, Du Weiwei heard the cry of the third lady Jin Ting, one higher than the other, and the straight man felt uncomfortable.
"Master, you have to be my master, these thieves, not to mention stealing things from my yard, they still think about light cigarettes. Whining......... Master, you look at the smoke and you're frightened. The third lady sat on the chair on the right side of the council hall and cried, and Du Yan'er was held in her arms, as if she was frightened, and she couldn't say a word.
Du Weiwei came in and saw such a scene.
"Father." Du Weiwei blessed Du Yunshi, Du Yunshi's face was calm, and his eyes were full of anger.
Du Weiwei seemed to be a little surprised, hurriedly sat on the chair next to the third lady, grabbed Jin Ting's arm, and asked with concern: "Sanniang, what's wrong, someone bullied Yan'er's sister?" "There was concern in his eyes.
The third lady shook off Du Weiwei's hand and looked at her with extreme disgust: "Don't want you stinky girl to fake kindness, I'm afraid you're happy in your heart now!" ”
Du Wei looked at his hand that was thrown away, and a trace of sharpness slipped in his eyes, but he fell silent in an instant, and called Du Yunshi in a slightly aggrieved voice: "Dad, look at Sanniang, she ......"
Du Yunshi was already very angry because of the theft of things from the Third Courtyard, and at this time, he was even more angry when he heard the words of the Third Lady: "Jin Ting! Weiwei is just concerned about you and Yan'er, that's how you talk to the concubine of the Prime Minister's house? It seems that you don't want to stay in this prime minister's mansion anymore. ”
Jin Ting was shocked, he had never had a good face with Du Weiwei in private on weekdays, but today because of Yan'er's matter, he actually forgot that Xiangye was present for a while, so he rushed Du Weiwei. hurriedly explained: "No, sir, I ........."
"My sister is worried about Yan'er, so she doesn't choose to say anything for a while, and I hope the master won't blame." The second lady, Yusheng, walked into the council hall and took Jin Ting's words.
Du Yunshi snorted heavily, but didn't say anything more.
The third lady looked at the second lady, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.
Du Weiwei sat in the outermost position on the right side and looked around at all the people for a week. On the top seat sat Du Yunshi, the Lord of Ting Yuan Kingdom. There was no one on the right, and Du Weiwei's biological mother moved to the suburban courtyard of the Xiangfu five years ago.
The first chair on the left sat the second lady Yusheng, who was sitting upright at this time, with extremely obedient eyebrows and eyes.
The fourth lady Zhang Ming sat opposite Du Weiwei, her eyes were full of panic, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes at all: What's the matter, didn't you say that you went to steal Du Weiwei's yard and ruin Du Weiwei's reputation? How did you go to the Golden Garden?
The fourth lady's daughter, Du Piaoling, was beside the fourth lady, her face full of hatred at a glance, and she looked at Du Weiwei's eyes eager to dismantle her.
Looking at the reaction of the fourth lady and Du Piaoling, Du Weiwei brought a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and he already knew everything in his heart: he really couldn't hold his breath.
For a while, there was no sound in the conference hall, and it seemed that they were waiting for Du Yunshi to speak.
After a long time, Du Yunshi spoke: "Yan'er, come here." Du Yan'er seemed to be really scared stupid, standing still and not moving. The third lady patted Du Yan'er on the back and pushed her in front of Du Yunshi.
Du Yunshi pressed Du Yan'er's shoulder, and asked patiently: "Yan'er, tell Dad, those... Do you remember the people who hurt you? ”
As soon as Du Yunshi's words came out, Du Weiwei noticed that the fourth lady's hand was tightly gripping the handkerchief in his hand, and thought for a moment: Could it be that there are people among those people who are familiar to everyone in the fourth lady's courtyard?
Du Yan'er's eyes were empty, and she couldn't say a word.
The fourth lady suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Master, I'm afraid Yan'er is frightened, so I should go and rest now." Didn't those thieves send their family out to look for them? I believe that it will not be long before I can catch it, so let Yan'er rest first. ”
Du smiled slightly, beckoned and whispered to Zikou, who nodded and quietly withdrew from the chamber.
Du Yunshi saw that Du Yan'er couldn't say anything, but he couldn't reprimand his daughter who had just been frightened, so he had to wave his hand and signal the third lady to take Du Yan'er back.
The third lady was reluctant at this time: "Master, where can people still live in that courtyard, what if there are any more thieves." Master, we don't dare to live anymore. Please let us live in another yard. ”
Du Weiwei's heart sank, what do you mean by these three ladies.
Du Yunshi was upset at this time, where did he still have the heart to take care of such a thing, and said casually: "Whatever you want." ”
The third lady frowned happily: "That... I stayed in the eldest lady's ......."
Sure enough, Du Weiwei's anger increased.
"Third Lady!" Du's slightly sharp voice interrupted Jin Ting's words, "Third Madam, how can you covet my mother's courtyard!" The so-called positive side is different, and the descendants are divided. How could the third lady be so ignorant of the rules and want to live in the courtyard of the lady of the main house! ”
Du Weiwei stood up and walked in front of the third lady, sneered, and glanced at the third lady fiercely, and the coldness of the body made the third lady tremble. The words that lowered his voice but were weighty enough floated in the ears of everyone in the council room: "Is it possible, third lady, do you Xiao think about the position of my mother, the eldest lady?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces. The eldest lady has not passed away, if she has such an idea, she will be guilty of the following, in a big family like the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will be expelled from the mansion.
Du Yunshi was close to the edge of the outbreak at this time, and his hand was holding the chair tightly, as if he would not be able to hold it in the next second.
With a "poof", the third lady knelt on the ground and cried to Du Yunshi for mercy: "Master... I didn't have it, I didn't want to rob the eldest lady's position, I just saw that the eldest lady's yard was empty... I... I really don't, eldest lady, she is talking nonsense! I..."
Du Wei looked coldly at the embarrassed appearance of the third lady kneeling on the ground, and the disgust in his heart became more and more obvious.
The atmosphere in the council hall at this time was extremely weird, but Du Yan'er suddenly spoke: "It was the people in Siniang Courtyard who injured me." ”
For a moment, there was silence.
