After everything was done, when Jing Ci was about to leave, Li Chen finally hurried over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"You still know to come back." Jing Ci gave him a blank look, and she thought that this bastard had tricked her again.
"What do you think of me Li Chen? Shall I leave you? Li Chen said and put the burden on the case.
When I opened it, there was a box inside, and when I lifted the lid, it was twenty gold.
Seeing this, Jing Ci lifted the box with one hand and put it in front of Cui Lu, "This is twenty gold, you count it." β
Cui Lu glanced at the gold, but without saying a word, Jing Ci turned around and went out.
"The Yang Mansion is different from the Wang family."
The voice of the person behind him suddenly sounded, and Jing Ci stopped when he heard it, waiting with bated breath for the next words.
He stared at her figure, "Don't forget the purpose of the Yang Mansion to pick you up." β
Jing Ci tugged at his palm and took a light breath.
"What does he mean?" Li Chen didn't know why, and looked sideways at Jing Ci.
"Let's go." Jing Ci was expressionless, took a step, and continued to walk out.
Now that she is being treated coldly in the Yang Mansion, it is nothing more than that the Yang Mansion wants her to be obedient, and the eldest sister wants her to "surrender" to the Yang Mansion and obey the dispatch of the Yang Mansion. As for the purpose behind it...... She hadn't really thought about it.
Cui Lu knows too many things, such a person...... It was too dangerous, and reason told her that she shouldn't have too much contact with him.
But why...... Can he always give her warmth? He has a very strong sense of strength, and when she comes into contact with him, she will inexplicably feel a little more settled. Jing Ci shook her head violently, her mind was too messy. Oh, it must be Daddy who went, Xiao Ping and Xiao An left, she hasn't felt warm for too long, right? Well, it must be so.
It's sad. Gradually, my life became so bleak......
Before Li Chen left, he didn't forget to walk to Qiaoxi, and Qiaoxi didn't look very good when he saw him coming.
"Qiaoxi, I'm ......" he understood that he had been too reckless to her today.
Qiao Xi turned his head away, unwilling to look at him, "Don't say it, you can go." β
"I'll come to pick you up and take you home, you believe me, you have been wronged for a while."
Heh, which guest who likes her didn't say that, a sneer floated across the corners of his mouth, and then instantly disappeared, "In the Houmen Guifu, you can take care of yourself, I don't need you to worry about it." β
Li Chen stared at her, as if frozen, the look in her eyes, he saw it in his eyes, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing him clubbing, Qiao Xi lowered his eyes, avoided his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Okay, go back, come and see me again when you have time." It's cool at sunset, go back and be careful. Her tone was very soft. For Li Chen, she knows a little bit, and her life experience is beautiful, but that's the case.
Li Chen nodded obediently and made up his mind to turn around and go out. In this world, she is probably the only one who is worried about him catching a cold.
Outside, after a rainstorm, the scattered pedestrians gathered back. It's still early at sunset, and it's breezy and not very cold.
Jing Ci and the others rode forward, Jing Ci and Li Chen had different expressions, and they both had something on their minds.
When he was approaching the Yang Mansion, Li Chen said leisurely, "I just went back to the Yang Mansion to get the gold, and I ...... when I went to the courtyard."
"Courtyard?" Jing Ci interrupted him, quite surprised, "What are you going to do in the courtyard?" β
"I ...... That ......" Li Chen was hesitant.
"You're not going to go to the courtyard to get the money, are you?"
Li Chen pursed his lips, "Alas, fourth aunt, I really don't have that much money, but I'll go to the courtyard ......."
"Not kind! Who's to blame? Jing Ci blackened his face, "Who should lose the money?" β
"I couldn't help it, so I made this decision, but in the end I ......" Li Chen tried to plead, but she didn't wait for him to get to the point.
"I really should have broken up with you." Jing Ci interrupted him again coldly.
The world of Jing words is black and white. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she sped away at a gallop, leaving him behind. This kind of gentleman, who has no morality, and does such unrighteous things again and again, is really hateful.
"Heyβyou listen to me firstβ" Li Chen hurriedly whipped and chased after him.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Jing Ci's riding skills are not bad, and it is easy to dump a person.
In a blink of an eye, she arrived at the side gate of Yang's Mansion, and she jumped off her horse and went straight to the courtyard.
"Li Chen lied to you, I didn't let him come back to get the money." Jing Ci praised into the room and pulled the young girl who was busy with work.
"Fourth lady, what money?" The young girl was puzzled.
"Didn't Li Chen come to the courtyard to get my money?"
She looked dazed, "It's nothing." β
This time, it was Jing Ci's turn to be stunned.
"He didn't come? Then he just said that the courtyard or something......" Jing Ci was puzzled. Wuzi pondered for a while before remembering if he had misunderstood what he meant? But since he didn't take his money, what did he do in the courtyard?
Well, I'll ask later.
The young girl is blessed, "Presumably the four ladies are tired today, the slave maid and Fang Nian have prepared a bathing room, and you can take a bath at any time." β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Bathing room.
The water temperature is suitable, and the tub is full of flower petals, and the water vapor is very soothing.
Jing Ci leaned his head on the bathtub, Cui Lu was inextricably linked with Guanwai, and he heard what the Hu people said about the princess's birthday, which must also be related to Cui Lu, Cui Lu...... It really can't be underestimated, this person recognizes money tightly, and he will definitely be able to buy news if he has money.
Whoosh β
A hidden weapon flew down from the roof and happened to be inserted into the wooden hanger.
"Ahh
Hearing that there was no movement, Jing Ci looked at the hidden weapon on the shelf, and a note was inserted on it......
"Fourth lady, what's wrong?" The young girl squeaked open the door and tried to walk in.
Jing Ci stopped him loudly, "Don't come in!" IβI'm fine......"
"Yes." The young girl responded, and Siniang was very unhappy that others approached her body, which everyone in the courtyard understood.
Jing Ci got up, carefully boasted out the wooden bucket, the water flowed down her fair and delicate skin, she tore off the long handkerchief on the wooden xuan, wrapped it neatly around her body, tied it firmly, and then slowly stretched out her hand...... Remove the hidden weapon that is firmly inserted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Spread out the note, and there were dense words on it.
What is written on this piece of paper is...... The situation in Chang'an today. Empress Wei and Wu Sansi colluded with each other, Yang Fu had a close relationship with Princess Taiping, and King Xiang seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was constantly accumulating strength in secret...... Even if it is a clear stream, the DPRK and China are all in line.
These are the current situations outside the Yang Mansion!
There is only one word in the inscription, "Pei".
It was given by Aunt Pei! Jing Ci unconsciously tightened the note, so good, with Aunt Pei's help, it will definitely progress faster.
The situation was the same as she saw, the Yang Mansion had formed an alliance with Princess Taiping. Jing Ci fell into deep thought, she speculated...... There are two possibilities for Daddy's death. First, in order to fight the Yang Mansion and Princess Taiping, other forces in the DPRK and China killed the Wang family they wanted to support; Second, it is the Yang Mansion...... In order to take back her, who had been firmly protected by her father, he killed the Wang family who tried to disobey the Yang Mansion and move south.
Cui Lu told her not to forget the purpose of the Yang Mansion to pick her up. What is the purpose of the Yang Mansion...... Aunt Pei reminded her that she couldn't be short-sighted, as long as she paid attention to the situation inside the Yang Mansion, and even more importantly, the situation of the various families in the court.
"Fourth lady," the young girl pushed the door in, through a screen, "Do you need to add water?" β
Jing Ci's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You're up?" The screen reflects the standing figure of the master.
"Go out, I'll get dressed myself." With his back to the screen, Jing Ci held the note in his hand.
"Yes. That's right...... There was news from the courtyard that Guan Niangzi was unwell. According to the slave's opinion...... It means to let you go to visit. β
Jing Ci was quite surprised when she heard this, her grandmother, who was still alive and well a few days ago, suddenly felt unwell? Oh, the courtyard can still afford to be a transparent person like her.
