Chapter 120: Dismounting
Feng Zhige was woken up by a commotion outside.
The moment she opened her eyes, she noticed that there was another person beside her, and her eyes subconsciously flashed with vigilance, and she raised her hand to greet the neck of the person beside her.
The palm knife was stopped abruptly when it was two inches high from Xiao Jingbei's neck.
Feng Zhige suddenly remembered that just yesterday, she had already married.
It seems normal for people who have already married to have another person sleeping next to them.
Fortunately, she stopped in time, otherwise, she would probably be the first person in the Dawu Dynasty to kill her husband on the second day of marriage.
But......
Recalling the good night's sleep last night, Feng Zhige's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
Because of her professional relationship in the afterlife, she had already cultivated almost instinctive vigilance, not to mention someone lying next to her, even if a fly flew in from the window, I am afraid it would wake her up, but last night......
Is it that her vigilance has weakened?
And Xiao Jingbei's black eyes opened at this time because of the breeze brought by the palm knife.
Looking at Feng Zhige's palm knife that was close at hand, Xiao Jingbei's eyes flashed with a slight doubt, but he didn't seem to have the intention of getting to the bottom of it, and the next moment he showed a somewhat dazzling smile in Feng Zhige's eyes.
The more people who never smile, the more shocking they are when they show such an unreserved smile.
Feng Zhige's heart was a little shocked at this time.
It's hard to imagine that a person like Xiao Jingbei, who has dealt with death since childhood, would have such an unreserved smile.
Just, why?
She was still thinking about this question, so she heard Mama Li's request from outside the door: "Master? ”
Putting aside the question of vigilance, Feng Zhige responded, "Come in." ”
Mama Li pushed the door in response, and in addition to Banxia and Fufeng following her into the house, through the landscape screen in the middle of the room, Feng Zhige could faintly see that there were four women about sixteen or seventeen years old kneeling in a row outside the door.
Although the four women were kneeling, they all had obvious grievances on their faces. One of them, who looked particularly delicate, was bowing his head and weeping at this time, and from time to time he raised his hand to wipe his tears.
This woman is already delicate and lovely, and the action of wiping tears is even more delicate and seductive. It's easy to give people a sense of pity.
The other three women, although they did not cry silently like this delicate woman, could see the grievances and disobedience on their faces, and occasionally they could be heard whispering things such as "We are the lady to the son" and "We can't do this to us".
It can be imagined that the noise that woke up Feng Zhige just now. The source is these four women who inexplicably appeared outside her and Xiao Jingbei's new house.
Feng Zhige raised his eyebrows, and the "madam" in their mouths naturally referred to Zhou Yuran.
In this Anguo Mansion, apart from Zhou Yuran, who else dares to make her feel uncomfortable on the first day she and Xiao Jingbei get married?
So, this is Zhou Yuran's dismount?
As soon as the door opened, several women kneeling outside the door looked up into the room in unison, and even the tearful beauty's tear-soaked beautiful eyes glanced into the room without a trace.
It's just that they are disappointed. The rosewood landscape screen standing in the house completely blocked their sight, whether overt or covertly.
Out of some thought, after the door opened, the sound of the four kneeling women crying and shouting suddenly became louder.
What's going on?
Xiao Jingbei looked at Feng Zhige, and Feng Zhige could easily see this problem in his eyes.
"It's nothing, it's just a little dismount from our Duchess of Anguo." After Feng Zhige finished speaking, he got up without any twist in front of Xiao Jingbei, and freshened up under the service of Banxia and Fufeng.
Xiao Jingbei was stunned at first, and when he saw that Feng Zhige was not shy about him at all, he was dressed loosely in the room, and some wolves quickly turned their heads, and the reddened ears quickly caused the three of Li Mama, who had been secretly paying attention to him, to laugh sullenly.
Their new aunt. Seems a little too innocent?
After laughing, when Feng Zhige was dressing up in the mirror, Mama Li stood aside and talked about the four women outside the door.
"Master, it's not dawn today. Mama Zhang, who was next to Duchess Anguo, led these four people to our yard, saying that Duchess Anguo was worried about the lack of people in our yard, so she specially rewarded the most powerful maids around her to the master and the son. As Mama Li spoke, a look of disdain appeared in her eyes.
It's a nice thing to say, but what worries about the lack of people to wait, in fact, it is not just to take advantage of the fact that the master is not fully familiar with the situation in the Leaf. Just stuff people around my uncle.
The reason for this is nothing more than that the mother-in-law does not like the daughter-in-law to deliberately make the daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable, or hopes that the son will do his best for the sake of the heir.
But no matter how much she doesn't like her daughter-in-law or worries about the inheritance of the family's bloodline, in order not to be too ugly on both sides, she will not stuff people into her son's room on the first day of marriage, which is a bright slap in the face of her daughter-in-law.
And Zhou Yuran did this, obviously wanting to slap Feng Zhige's face hard.
Yesterday in the wedding hall, in front of so many guests, Feng Zhige and Xiao Jingbei made Zhou Yuran lose face, and now seizing this opportunity, it is normal for Zhou Yuran to be impatient to return the color.
If you change the woman next to you, on the second day of marriage, the mother-in-law will reward the husband with four beautiful women, who are stronger, and they will naturally fight with their mother-in-law when they are angry, and the weak character does not dare to share with the mother-in-law and only dare to swallow the grievances into the stomach, even if it is not uncomfortable to spit out a mouthful of blood, I am afraid that it is almost the same.
However, in the Anguo Mansion, this qiē is not valid at all.
First, Zhou Yuran is not Xiao Jingbei's biological mother, or her stepmother, she still lacks a procedure.
Second, Feng Zhige is not one of those local women who have been familiar with "Female Commandments" and "Women's Rules" since she was a child, and Zhou Yuran is simply a grasshopper who can't jump for a few days in her eyes, and this little trick can't arouse her anger.
However, since Zhou Yuran was in a hurry to jump out, she would naturally return the color well.
When Feng Zhige finished grooming, Xiao Jingbei had already taken care of himself, and compared to Feng Zhige, who was served by Banxia Fufeng, his movements were obviously more than a step faster.
For those who practice martial arts, there is no difference between the low shouts of the four women outside and the loud shouts, after listening to them for such a long time. It was enough for Xiao Jingbei to understand the whole story, and his complexion sank suddenly, and at this time, he stood beside Feng Zhige with a protective attitude.
Seeing that Feng Zhige finished dressing up, Xiao Jingbei suddenly turned around. Stride to get around the screen.
"Wait!" Feng Zhige pressed Xiao Jingbei's arm, "Such a trivial matter is worth your anger?" ”
Xiao Jingbei stopped as he said, but looked at Feng Zhige with obvious disapproval in his eyes.
He passed more than 20 years with a cold heart, and it was not until he met Feng Zhige when he was dying that he felt that there was finally a ray of sunshine in his life. So no one can understand how grateful he was to God for the generous gift in his heart when he learned that the relationship with Feng Zhige was about to be completed.
He has been looking forward to marrying his wife for so long, but he was practiced like this by Zhou Yuran on the first day of marriage, how can this be considered a trivial matter?
Thinking of Zhou Yuran, Xiao Jingbei's eyes flashed again.
He has endured too much over the years, so that Zhou Yuran thinks that he is a chess piece that can be manipulated at will in her hands, it seems that he has to think about it, how can he let Zhou Yuran know that this country mansion is not surnamed Zhou!
While thinking like this. Xiao Jingbei naturally had a chilling aura on his body, emanating outward.
But the next moment, a soft and delicate hand gently held his big hand that had been cocooned by practicing martial arts since childhood, and it also successfully dissipated all the coldness on his body in an instant.
Xiao Jingbei turned his head to look at Feng Zhige, the cold color in his eyes was like ice and snow melting, and gradually changed to a faint warm color.
"Don't you all say that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, this kind of trivial matter in the inner house is not something you should take care of, didn't we all say it yesterday, I will deal with Zhou Yuran's matter, you just have to wait, three months later. The custodian asked Zhou Yuran to take the initiative to leave the Anguo Mansion! Feng Zhige said very naturally, as if her words did not determine the fate of a lady in charge of the Guogong Mansion, but only said a trivial matter of what to eat today.
Even Mama Li and Banxia Fufeng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Feng Zhige's words.
Xiao Jingbei's heart was soft.
Before that. He never thought that one day, he would be protected by others like this.
He nodded slightly: "Okay." Then I'll go to the study first, Ah Yue and Xiuyi will come over today. ”
But he never thought about going to see Zhou Yuran with Feng Zhige.
Seeing Feng Zhige nodding, Xiao Jingbei looked at the hands held by the two again, and then let go of his hand with some reluctance. Turned around and strode out the door.
As he walked to the door, he paused at the side of the four women.
The four women were overjoyed when they saw this.
Before Madame sent them to Leaf Temple, she made it clear to them that as long as they could capture the heart of the prince, Madame would naturally be the master for them in the future, not to mention anything else, at least the title of an aunt would not be able to escape.
What could be more tempting for a man like them to turn from a servant slave to become a master?
Not to mention, although the prince has a cold temperament, he is handsome, and now he is favored by the emperor, they follow the prince, and they may have what kind of blessings they will have in the future!
With such thoughts, the four of them will naturally not let go of any opportunity.
Seeing Xiao Jingbei stop beside them, and sensing that Xiao Jingbei was looking at them, the four of them tried their best to show their best side in Xiao Jingbei's eyes, the delicate ones were more delicate, and the dignified ones were even more dignified, that is, the one who bowed his head and wept, and deliberately let his white neck fall into Xiao Jingbei's eyes when he bowed his head, hoping to impress Xiao Jingbei's heart that had been cold and hard for more than 20 years.
If it is, it would be great if it could also be used to make the prince think that the new Mrs. Shizi was an intolerable person.
The four of them had another calculation in their hearts.
And Xiao Jingbei, taking in the expressions of these four people, thinking that they were ordered by Zhou Yuran to block Feng Zhige, Xiao Jingbei had the urge to raise his foot and kick them out, if it weren't for Feng Zhige's previous words, these four beauties would not be able to escape the fate of rolling out.
Thinking of Feng Zhige, Xiao Jingbei's heart warmed again, and then he snorted coldly and strode out of Leaf Courtyard.
The four beauties who had not been seen by the eyes were all suffocated, and their hearts were secretly hated, and their faces were also distorted.
At this time, Feng Zhige, who had already had breakfast, walked out of the room a little lazily, raised his eyes and swept lightly over the four of them, but he didn't even ask, only said, "Mama Li, let's go." ”
The four of them hadn't reacted yet. I saw Mama Li give a few words to the left and right, and then walked out of a few stout mammas, pulled them up from the ground without pity, and dragged them to follow Feng Zhige's footsteps.
Feng Zhige nodded with satisfaction. was about to go out, but saw Zhou Yuran's henchman Mama Zhang appear at the gate of the courtyard.
Guarding the gate of the Leaf Courtyard were the original two grandmothers of the Anguo Mansion, and when they saw Mama Zhang, the two of them didn't even ask Feng Zhige, the master, and let them aside in fear. I don't stop it at all.
Mama Zhang glanced in the direction where Feng Zhige was with a straight face, and when she saw the four women who were being escorted, Mama Zhang's eyes flashed with a faint sense of pride, and then walked straight towards Feng Zhige, and bowed meticulously, "The old slave has seen Mrs. Shizi." ”
Although she seems to be respectful and polite to Feng Zhige, Mama Zhang's behavior is full of her arrogance.
Without waiting for Feng Zhige to respond, she straightened up, and when she saw Feng Zhige looking like she was going out, she said, "Mrs. Shizi is going to say hello to Mrs. Shizi." The old slave came to take Yuanpa on the orders of his wife, and he must not delay the wife of the prince for much time. ”
Hearing Mama Zhang mention Yuanpa, the faces of the younger maids in the Leaf Courtyard instantly flushed, and the four women who were "rewarded" by Zhou Yuran were also immediately a little ashamed.
Feng Zhige didn't have any expression related to shyness, she glanced at Mama Zhang indifferently, and when she saw Mama Zhang raise her feet, she walked into the house, and she didn't stop it.
Half an hour later, Mama Zhang went and returned.
Compared with when she entered the door, Mama Zhang's face at this time was obviously a little happy. She looked at Feng Zhige a little strangely, "The old slave retired first." ”
Feng Zhige knew why Mama Zhang was happy.
She and Xiao Jingbei's cave room candle night was covered with a quilt and chatted, naturally there could be no yuanpa, Mama Zhang didn't think it. So you can be considered to have caught her handle?
Looking at Mama Zhang's somewhat hurried back, Feng Zhige smiled slightly.
Mama Zhang will think so, presumably Zhou Yuran will not be an exception there, so let them be proud first.
As for her......
She thought she should clean up the yard first.
In her yard, there is no need to eat people inside and outside.
I press the intention to go out. Feng Zhige waved his hand to the four women, and the grandmothers took the opportunity to retreat to the side, and then someone moved the upholstered chairs and put them in the courtyard under Feng Zhige's orders.
"Call out all the people in the Leaf." Feng Zhige commanded lightly.
After a while, the maid who followed Feng Zhige to marry to the Anguo Mansion dutifully gathered everyone in the Leaf Courtyard into the courtyard.
The Leaf Courtyard is the largest and best courtyard in the Anguo Mansion except for Ning Yuan Hall, the main courtyard where Zhou Yuran now lives, so the number of people in the Leaf Courtyard is also extraordinarily large.
Xiao Jingbei lost his mother when he was born, and was later arranged by Xiao Li, the Duke of Anguo, to live in Leaf Courtyard, which was more than 20 years.
Since Zhou Yuran married into the Anguo Mansion, because there was no other hostess in the mansion who could compete with her, the back house of the Guogong Mansion was soon controlled by Zhou Yuran, and the appointment of the subordinates was naturally controlled by her.
The people waiting around Xiao Jingbei were originally the companions left by the former Duchess of Anguo, that is, Xiao Jingbei's biological mother, but over the years, under Zhou Yuran's placement, these companions either couldn't stand the suppression and asked to go, or they were forced to fall to Zhou Yuran under pressure, so except for the few people around Xiao Jingbei, there was no one who could be trusted.
Looking at Feng Zhige, it seemed that he was going to liquidate something, and the people in Leaf House couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"I've seen Mrs. Shiko." They were all in shape.
Now almost all of these maids and wives in the courtyard were inserted by Zhou Yuran, and Zhou Yuran's purpose was nothing more than to let them find out some news from Xiao Jingbei.
However, with the bad relationship between Xiao Jingbei and Zhou Yuran for so many years, knowing that the courtyard was full of Zhou Yuran's people, he couldn't take precautions, so how could he let them know anything secret?
For example, at the last birthday banquet of Mrs. Han, the ingots who deliberately poured wine on Xiao Jingbei's clothes, even if he didn't do anything unfavorable to Xiao Jingbei for so many years, Xiao Jingbei didn't let his guard down.
Looking at these people who knelt on the ground in front of him, Feng Zhige didn't say anything to call them up.
"I called you here to inform you of one thing, Mrs. Ben has a large number of companions, so there is no need for so many people in the Leaf Courtyard, so you will go with Mrs. Ben to see Duchess An Guo later, just ask Duchess An Guo for a better place." Feng Zhige didn't bother to deal with these people, and said directly.
She didn't want to bother to find out who was in this courtyard full of people, and who had other thoughts, she just needed to know that these people were arranged by Zhou Yuran, and this reason alone was enough for her to throw these people back to Zhou Yuran.
Just now, she could see clearly that when the two grandmothers guarding the courtyard gate let Mama Zhang in without waiting for her to speak, none of the people in the courtyard thought that there was anything wrong with this.
I can't tell whose master is my subordinate, what's the use of coming?
What's more, Feng Zhige's companion room is really a lot, which is completely enough for the Leaf Courtyard to call, even if there is not enough, it is better to go outside to buy than to use the people sent by Zhou Yuran.
Feng Zhige's words were tantamount to a shocking shock to the people of the Leaf Courtyard who knelt on the ground.
How could they not have thought that this lady of the prince, who had just entered the door for a day, would not only cut them out, but also drive them all out? (To be continued.) )
