Chapter 35: Calling the Shots
"Then you will go ......" Mu Shichang didn't say the last word of death, but he paused, staring at the eldest princess who didn't know when she appeared at the gate of Fangyuan, and shivered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Mu is so interested, I didn't expect Lord Mu, who has always been a humble gentleman, to have such a hobby." Glancing at the miserable Linglong who was beaten, the eldest princess frowned slightly and continued: "It seems that it is not the right time for this palace to come, it has disturbed Lord Mu's Yaxing, and this palace will come to visit another day." With that, Princess Celestia turned around and was about to leave.
Linglong was beaten, Xiao Shi was originally proud, suddenly heard the voice of the eldest princess, frightened to the pale, covered in chaff as if looking at the old lady, only to see that the old lady's face was also a little uneasy, and she was even more afraid that she didn't even have the strength to get up and say hello, she only sat softly on the chair, her face was like paraffin.
Mu Shichang hurriedly trotted over, "Her Royal Highness the princess stays, Her Royal Highness the princess stays." "He must make it clear now, or if this gets out, how will he see people in the future.
"Princess Ben stays? Do you want Princess Ben to stay and watch you play a big drama where Lord Mu beats his daughter to death? The eldest princess sneered and shook her head, "This palace doesn't have such a good interest, Lord Mu continued." With that, the eldest princess waved her hand and walked out, looking disgusted.
Mu Shichang hurriedly chased after him, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has misunderstood. He smiled and said: "The reason why the minister beat this unfilial girl is really because she really deserves to be beaten." ”
The eldest princess paused, turned around and asked Mu Shichang, "Oh? Should it be hit? What heinous thing did she do that should make Master Mu want to beat her to death? Hongu is a little interested. With that, the eldest princess turned around and walked towards Fang Yuan again.
Seeing that the lord chased the eldest princess back, Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up trembling to say goodbye, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the concubine has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"Mrs. Mu, please get up." The eldest princess smiled gently, but her eyes were cold, and she sat down next to Mrs. Mu, and by the way, she stopped the old lady who was about to say hello, but did not let Xiao sit down.
"Makes Celestia smile." The old lady said with some embarrassment, glanced at her son dissatisfied, and sighed long.
Are there few things in your house that make people laugh, the eldest princess sneered in her heart, turned her face to Mu Shichang and said, "Lord Mu might as well tell me what big mistake Linglong has made." ”
As soon as the word Linglong came out of the eldest princess's mouth, Mu Shichang and Xiao Shigu were so frightened that they trembled and looked at each other, the eldest princess actually called her Linglong instead of the third miss of the Mu family? The old lady glanced at the eldest princess meaningfully and frowned.
The reason why Mu Shichang was so ruthless to Linglong was just to let this matter reach the prince's ears, and let the prince know how much he cared about Lingyu's marriage to the prince's mansion, and he wanted to reassure the prince, no matter who wanted to get in the way, even if it was his own daughter, he would never tolerate it.
He just wants to express an attitude, and it doesn't matter if it's Linglong or not. What's more, Linglong was already insignificant and dispensable in Mu Shichang's heart, so sacrificing Linglong to fulfill himself was naturally his best choice.
He has always believed that Linglong, who grew up in the nunnery, will not help him in his career, so he never cares about or likes Linglong. But the eldest princess's kind and delicate words made Mu Shichang have some calculations in his heart.
"Princess Qiyu, Lingyu, the courtier's dog girl, won the red gold feather phoenix personally rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the big gathering a few days ago, so the insiders have prepared a dowry for her these days. This is a very glorious thing in the Mu Mansion, but I didn't expect the third daughter of the minister's unfilial piety to be jealous of her sister, and sent ginseng that was contrary to Lingyu's life to fill in her makeup. Mu Shichang looked at the eldest princess's face and said thoughtfully, putting all the responsibility on the Qingfeng Dao Chief.
Linglong didn't expect the eldest princess to come suddenly, originally from Jinyuan to Fangyuan all the way to think of countermeasures, although she didn't expect to face punches and kicks as soon as she entered the door, but this did not affect the implementation of her countermeasures, but at this time she had to think long-term.
"Linglong gave the eldest lady of the Mu family a ginseng to fill in the makeup?" The eldest princess glanced at Linglong, frowned slightly and asked Mu Shichang.
Although the tone is ordinary, the intimacy in it is clear. Rao is a fool and can hear that Lingyu and Linglong are more like Linglong than Linglong.
Xiao's heart trembled, and his eyes looked at Linglong with resentment, and his vicious eyes seemed to be two poisonous snakes in the line of fire spitting letters. Meeting Xiao's gaze, Linglong pursed her lips in her heart, and smiled bitterly, it seems that Xiao's will never give up if she doesn't peel off her cramps.
Slut! Under his nose, he walked so close to the eldest princess, and he didn't even notice it. It must be because of that porridge that Linglong, a cheap girl, used some indiscriminate means to bewitch the heart of the eldest princess.
Xiao's clenched hand hidden in his sleeve stabbed his palm bleeding, and his face tried to maintain a dignified and decent face.
How could the old lady not understand the meaning of the eldest princess, and immediately said: "Linglong girl has a heart, she really didn't expect that this person attending the meeting will be compatible with Yu'er's fate, Yu'er and Mufu will be both prosperous and lossy, this truth, Linglong girl understands." ”
Linglong secretly sighed that her grandmother spoke wisely, not only excusing herself, but also paving the way for Lingyu. A sentence of both glory and loss, completely blocked the mouth of the eldest princess. Even if the eldest princess has the heart to help herself today, she will never embarrass Lingyu again.
Suddenly, Linglong realized that her grandmother believed in herself again, and in the face of the interests of the family and her own safety, the interests of the family could never be surpassed. No wonder Grandmother Fang Cai looked at her with a clear and gentle gaze, but she didn't take it seriously to stop her father from beating her.
Linglong could hear the meaning, the eldest princess could naturally hear it, glanced at the old lady deeply, and secretly cursed the old fox in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "We Linglong are naturally simple-minded, and we can't think of going so far." ”
Shen Yunqi only said that he would let him save Linglong, but he didn't say anything else. Besides, the eldest princess is really not interested in the Mu family's housework, she just needs to save Linglong, otherwise Shen Yunqi's bastard boy will definitely disturb her peace.
We are exquisite! These four words fell on Xiao's heart like a jack, almost making her suffocate and faint. The poisonous knife-like eyes glanced at Linglong, and said with a smile: "What the eldest princess said is that the youngest daughter of the concubine and the eldest daughter have always had a deep friendship, and this time Yu'er can marry into the prince's mansion, the third girl seems to be happy, she will never harm Yu'er's heart." ”
"Then why did you get a beating?" In the face of the Xiao family, the eldest princess showed no mercy. She decided that if Linglong could be beaten, it must be the Xiao family and daughter who were in the way.
If it weren't for Xiao's obstruction, Linglong wouldn't have been beaten, if Linglong hadn't been beaten, Shen Yunqi wouldn't have been in a hurry to die or live, if it weren't for Shen Yunchi's urgency to die or live, he was still feeding koi in the eldest princess's mansion at this time! How could he be in a hurry, and before he even had time to change his clothes, he was urged by Shen Yunqi to Mu Mansion to escort his Linglong!
Therefore, the eldest princess is extremely dissatisfied with the Xiao family.
Xiao didn't expect the eldest princess to throw this question directly at her with a cold face, her face was stunned, and she was embarrassed for a while, and she secretly took a few breaths before saying: "Qingfeng Dao Chang said that this person participated in the meeting and made Yu'er have no children after marriage and be lonely all her life, isn't this a curse to the prince!" When the old man heard this, he was immediately angry, so he ......" Xiao said cautiously. All the responsibilities belong to the Qingfeng Dao, and the lord is only worried about the prince.
The eldest princess sneered, "It turns out that Lord Mu is thinking about the prince. ”
Mu Shichang nodded immediately, with a look of remorse, "The minister lost his mind in a hurry, so he made a move on the third girl, and now that he has calmed down, he realized that the minister really wronged Linglong, how could Linglong have the heart to harm her eldest sister, she must have no intention." After that, he looked at Linglong, full of guilt and a little flattering, and said: "Linglong, Daddy has wronged you." ”
Mu Shichang said sincerely, and Linglong had goosebumps.
Even the eldest princess didn't expect Mu Shichang to kill Linglong with a cruel face, and she became like a father at this moment. If she hadn't heard Shen Yunqi talk about the Mu family's situation early in the morning, she would have really been deceived by Mu Shichang's confessional appearance. However, her purpose was to rescue Linglong, and at this time, her goal had been achieved, and she didn't want to continue to participate in the peace, so she looked at Linglong with an inquiring gaze.
The eldest princess helped herself in the words, but in the end this is a family matter, although the eldest princess is a princess, if it is rumored that she interferes in the family affairs of the courtiers, it will be extremely bad for the reputation of the eldest princess, this reason is exquisite, she can't make the eldest princess embarrassed.
What's more, my mother still has to live in Mu Mansion.
Catching up with the gaze of the eldest princess, Linglong gave a grateful glance and said: "It was Linglong's stubborn temperament that she didn't make it clear to her father and mother, so that her father and mother misunderstood, and it was Linglong's unfilial piety that made her father and mother angry and made her grandmother worried." ”
The eldest princess once again deeply felt that Shen Yunqi's eyes were vicious, and Linglong's mind was really smart, as her name suggested, and her seven tricks were exquisite.
Mu Shichang didn't expect Linglong to cooperate so well to relieve him, and glanced at Linglong quite unexpectedly, this daughter was actually blinded by herself, and she was not useless.
Linglong's consideration of the overall situation made the old lady breathe a sigh of relief, but she also blamed herself deeply, knowing that Linglong would not do such a thing, but when her son beat Linglong, she turned a blind eye to it in the end.
It's not that I didn't want to defend her, but in the face of the interests of the family, I chose to sacrifice Linglong.
Thinking of Linglong's thoughtfulness and well-behavedness, thinking of Linglong's generosity and sensibility today, and then thinking of what Xiao and Shichang did, the old lady's eyes were full of tears, and she had fulfilled this child's expectations of herself.
She thinks she is the support and umbrella of Mu Fu, but what about herself? Nothing was given to her when she needed it.
