28. Followers are in a dilemma
Zheng Wei finally caught Ji's entry into the palace once, how could she just let Linglong go? Seeing that Linglong was about to disappear into the crowd of people, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after her. At this time, Linglong had already stepped into the threshold, but Zheng Wei quickly grabbed her sleeve and pulled her out of the hall.
Linglong had never seen Zheng Wei so tough, she didn't watch out for a while, she didn't pay attention when she pulled it out, and she tripped over the threshold, she followed Zheng Wei and stumbled out of the outer hall, and was pulled into a remote corridor before she said angrily: "Miss Wei, what are you doing?" β
Zheng Wei originally wanted to inquire about her mother's news in a good voice, Linglong's attitude, thinking that no matter how good she was, she would not get the desired result, so she simply said with a cold face: "Sister Linglong, you don't have to lie to me, my mother must have an accident, you just say that something happened to my mother." β
Linglong pulled her arm out of Zheng Wei's hand, lowered her head and only cared about sorting out the clothes that were torn by Zheng Wei, and insisted: "No, Miss Wei, don't think about it." β
Zheng Wei looked at it, there were only palace maids and eunuchs shuttling back and forth around here, they were far away from these people, and they didn't think they would be noticed, seeing that Linglong looked anxious and hurriedly wanted to return to the main hall, she threatened coldly: "You haven't told Mrs. SΓΉ about the matter with the prince yet, right?" β
Linglong never imagined that Zheng Wei would know such a secret thing, and was shocked, "Why-" Her face changed again and again, although she cut it off in time, her expression was already equivalent to admitting.
Zheng Wei smiled leisurely and stopped talking.
Linglong gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Miss Wei, how can you talk nonsense about nothing?" Don't you know that if you talk nonsense, you will kill a slave? β
Linglong, this girl is sharp and capable, and no one has always looked at her except for a few Hou Mansion masters, such as Zheng Wei, just because she is close to Zheng Shao, she can be slightly regarded by her, but in fact, she doesn't take her seriously. Not to mention, she will have the day when she calls herself a "slave" to Zheng Wei.
Don't look at her posture high, in fact, her language is already soft.
Zheng Wei sneered: "Sister Linglong seems to have broken off with the prince, which is not bad, I can also report the good news to my wife, so that she will not be afraid that the prince will be hooked by the goblins in the house all day long." After Zheng Wei finished speaking, she turned around and left without pause, really going straight to the direction of the Ji clan in the hall.
This time, it was Linglong's turn to panic: although she was not familiar with Zheng Wei, a young lady who had eaten white rice in the Hou Mansion for nearly ten years, she also had a general understanding of what the other party had done in the Hou Mansion and what her personality was, and she did not dare not take the other party's threat in her eyes.
Linglong's face changed greatly, and she grabbed Zheng Wei and pleaded: "Miss Wei, the slave begs you to give the slave a way to live." Her eyes were full of tears, and her face was bitter, if she looked at it from afar, she was afraid that she would treat Zheng Wei as a bully master, and Linglong was a slave who had been bullied enough.
Zheng Wei looked at her coldly, and said slowly: "I don't want to embarrass you, Sister Linglong, I just need you to tell me that something happened to my mother." β
Linglong's eyes struggled several times, and finally she lowered her shoulders and said, "Okay, since you must know Miss Wei, then the slave will risk death to reveal a little bit to you." Actually, Mrs. Jiang is sick in bed these days, and our lady doesn't want you to worry about this, so she won't let the slave tell you. β
Zheng Wei looked Linglong up and down, and didn't speak for a while.
Linglong is obviously taller than Zheng Wei, but she seems to be being scrutinized by the other party, and the whole person has to jump up nervously.
Zheng Wei hooked the corners of her lips and walked towards the hall without saying a word.
On the contrary, Linglong was frightened by her incomplacent expression, and hurriedly grabbed her again, tears were about to flow, "Miss Wei, what the slave said is true, do you believe the slave!" β
Zheng Wei threw out three words: "Tell the truth!" β
Linglong looked at Zheng Wei suspiciously, and couldn't figure out where Zheng Wei could see that she was making it up. But the other party's unfathomable appearance undoubtedly made her more stressed, and she didn't dare to bluff casually.
"Well, I say, but don't betray me, Miss Wei! In fact, Mrs. Jiang has always wanted to retreat to the world since you left. β
Zheng Wei didn't understand, "What? "Escape? It can't be what she thinks, right?
Since Linglong even said the most difficult sentence to speak, she won't feel difficult to say anything else, "That's the case, Mrs. Jiang didn't know where to meet an old nun named Jinghui, not long after our lady entered the palace last time, she said that she would follow her back to what Silent Moon Nunnery Qingxiu, our lady has been persuading her not to be like this, the Hou Mansion will definitely raise her for life, but she doesn't listen, these days at home she takes advantage of our inattention, and insists on losing her hair." β
Linglong saw that Zheng Wei's expression was getting more and more ugly, for fear that she would be angry with herself, so she hurriedly said: "Miss Wei, it's not that the slave maid didn't persuade Mrs. Jiang, but she didn't even let the slave and maid enter the door, and the slave and maid were really hard-hearted to see her." β
Zheng Wei only felt dizzy: Yes, yes, the Jiang family has nothing to do in this world except for thinking about her, and she has entered the palace now, whether she will live well in the future, the Jiang family can't help at all. In this case, she is living in the Hou Mansion herself, and she is not living happily, so why not abandon the world and become a monk? Anyway, she lived there every day like a monk. No wonder she sent the silver ticket in such a secret way last time, it must be a sum of money that she didn't know about in their family, right? Jiang gave her all her belongings, so she naturally had no worries!
The more Zheng Wei thought about it, the more she felt that this might be true.
Just when Zheng Wei was flustered, the walnut beside Mrs. Weiyuan Hou ran out, called Linglong's name, and complained: "Oh, why did you run here to hide from laziness?" Madame is looking for you in a hurry, come with me. β
Linglong peeked at Zheng Wei and called "Miss Wei", seeing that the latter did not react, she followed Walnut with fear.
How could Zheng Wei still care about Linglong's little Jiujiu at this time? Her mother is going to become a monk, what can I do?!
Whether Zheng Wei is willing or not is secondary, the question is, which nunnery can hold her with her mother's appearance? Moreover, although she has never been out of the gate of the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion since she was a child, she didn't believe that Zheng Wei had stolen the stories of nuns and pilgrims in the book, and she didn't believe that they were all fabricated out of thin air!
And where did this Lonely Moon Nunnery come from? Is it a wild hermitage who has never been out of the house and is a simple-minded woman? She grew up in Kyori, but she had never heard of it at all!
What now? It's really scary for her mother to be embarrassed! Don't look at the profundity of the Hou Mansion, but her mother really wants to go out, and there may not be no way. But how on earth is she going to stop her mother?
Zheng Wei suddenly realized, no wonder Ji didn't allow Linglong to sue her about this!
This kind of thing is inappropriate, but it may make Zheng Wei dissatisfied with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion because the Jiang family is going to become a monk. Anyway, she is in the deep palace, and it is impossible to really know her mother's situation, and after a long time, it is not up to them to say what it is?
However, after Zheng Wei panicked, she found that even if she was in a hurry, what she could do was very limited. Can she go out of the palace to persuade her mother? Can her mother enter the palace and listen to her persuasion? Can she threaten the Ji family like she threatens Linglong and makes her pay more attention to her mother?
Can't, can't! Neither!!
Zheng Wei's legs and feet were weak when she thought about it, especially after considering the hidden danger in it, she could barely stand, she staggered a few steps and propped her hand on the door frame of the palace next to her.
Then there was a "squeak", and the door opened by itself.
Zheng Wei was caught off guard, and the whole person fell inward!
Zheng Wei held the scream into her throat, and saw that her face was about to hit the ground.
A hand reached out from the spur, which happened to be around the crook of her arm.
Zheng Wei looked up in amazement, it was him again?!! She then became angry: Here is him again? How much did he listen to what he just said?
Shen Jun's face was also a little red, as if he knew what she thought, and explained: "I didn't mean to hear it. This was originally a partial room in the Qianning Palace, he felt that the back of the shirt he was wearing this morning was a little wrong, and when he saw that the door was open and there was no one in the house for the time being, he wanted to touch it to see what was going on. Who would have thought that when he entered with his front foot, the door didn't have time to be locked, and his back foot was blocked by Linglong and Zheng Wei. Moreover, the two of them were so devoted, it was inconvenient for him to go out.
He originally wanted to wait for the two to leave before he came out, but who knew that Zheng Wei would be caught.
Zheng Wei lowered her head and reprimanded in a low voice: "Let go!" β
Shen Jun's hands seemed to have been burned by fire, only to find that he was still holding Zheng Wei's arm firmly, and hurriedly put it down, wanting to say something, but found that it was like this, what he said didn't work, so he simply hugged his fist, walked over Zheng Wei quickly, and prepared to leave.
Zheng Wei looked at his red official uniform, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted before his brain: "Wait! β
Shen Jun turned his head with pure doubt in his eyes.
"You, can you do me a favor?" Zheng Wei asked with confidence.
Shen Jun glanced at her, but before he could answer, his face suddenly changed, and he ran out.
Zheng Wei was stunned and a little annoyed: If you don't want to, you won't have to answer without answering to be scared away, right?
However, there was no time to make Zheng Wei angry.
She had already heard the commotion coming from the side hall next to her, and someone was shouting: "Hurry up and ask for a doctor, Mrs. Ying has fainted!" β
Mrs. Ying? Zheng Shao fainted? Someone who is so healthy can faint?!!
Zheng Wei's heart immediately lifted: She can't eat and drink anything, she was tricked, right?
Zheng Wei didn't have time to think about anything, and rushed into the side hall.
Originally, the place where Zheng Shao was sitting had already been surrounded by people on three floors inside and three layers outside, Zheng Wei opened the human wall, and saw Zheng Shao's face pale, and he was half-lying in Mrs. Ji's arms unconsciously.
