Chapter 77: The daughter is waiting for her father's proposition
In the carriage.
Su Ziran leaned slightly on the purple cushion behind her, looked at Su Lingchuan, a parchment scroll in her hand, only heard the sound of the pages turning over, but did not see him concentrated, on the contrary, the two anxious eyes glanced at her from time to time, and even a little uneasy.
Xu regretted taking her back with him, he hesitated and said, "Zi Ran, you better avoid the summer villa, my father will take care of the family affairs." β
Su Ziran raised her eyebrows with a smile: "It's been gone for most of the day, and my father wants to let his daughter go back, isn't it too late?" What's more, in this wilderness, is the father planning to let his daughter walk back on foot? β
Hearing the ridicule in her words, Su Lingchuan's face changed slightly, his brows twisted slightly, and even the title was not as intimate as Fang Cai: "If you are willing, the prime minister will let the carriage turn back to send you!" β
Of course she didn't want to!
"Aunt Qing's life is in danger, where can my daughter let her father worry about her daughter's affairs anymore?" She pretended to be flattered and waved her hand, but she couldn't stop sneering in her heart, I'm afraid that this time Aunt Qing's sin was in vain, Qi Huanyuan still had one in her stomach, how could Su Lingchuan implicate the rest for the sake of one that had already been lost?
"Although this hot day is unbearable, my daughter is a member of the Su family, and if something so big happens in the family, how can my daughter not go back?"
She said this impeccably, so that people didn't even know how to refute it, but Su Lingchuan was sued by her in front of Emperor Jing a while ago, and now her anger towards her has not completely subsided, and when she heard her sentence "a member of the Su family" only felt sarcastic, the anger in her heart burned even more, and she rebuked without words: "The water spilled by the married daughter, the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Princess Rui don't worry about it!" β
Su Ziran was stunned for two seconds, and then the corners of her mouth slowly rose, but her eyes turned cold inch by inch.
What a sentence "the daughter who got married spilled the water"!
"Dad is so afraid that I will go back, shouldn't there be some ulterior secrets in the house?"
Su Lingchuan's face changed suddenly.
The inquiring gaze shot straight at her, but her secretive look made him unable to see through and figure out, does this stinky girl know the secret? If she didn't know, then what did she mean by "unspeakable"? But if she knew, how could she not turn the Prime Minister's Mansion upside down?
Thinking of this, his heart settled down a little, her "unspeakable" should just be a mistake, after all, she hid it so well, how could it be discovered?
"You don't talk nonsense, you just can't get used to Princess Rui doing something insulting to the Prime Minister's Mansion under the banner of being a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Su Ziran laughed angrily, this person is not good at other skills, and his bloody mouth and reversal of black and white are as good as ever!
"My daughter has always spoken based on facts, I don't know what my father is referring to when he says something insulting?"
Su Lingchuan's face turned blue again, he snorted coldly, lowered his head again to look at the book in his hand, and obviously refused to answer her words.
She was also happy to be quiet, anyway, she didn't care about what this father had of her.
Reaching out and lifting the curtain, the green scenery in the forest flashed, and the only sound in my ears was the clatter of horses' hooves, mixed with the occasional sound of turning the pages of a book.
Two days later.
Aunt Qing was lying on the bed, with Aunt Zhao and a few girls guarding her, and even Qi Huanyuan was pacing back and forth in the room. may not have expected the matter to be so serious, and there were a few traces of worry and fear in the eyes of no one in both directions.
The doctor said that he had just passed the dangerous period, and he should be extra careful in the past two days, otherwise he would easily die with a whimper.
As soon as Su Ziranfu entered the door, he felt a depressing aura permeating the room, mixed with a strong smell of medicine, which was so stuffy that it made people a little breathless. Qi Huanyuan still had an aggrieved and frightened look on his face when he saw Su Lingchuan, but the moment his eyes swept over her, his pupils shrank, and his body shook violently.
Su Ziran raised her lips wickedly, revealing a smile that seemed innocent and harmless, but it made people feel panicked.
Walking to the bedside, Aunt Qing's face was pale that she had never seen before, to be honest, she didn't think she knew this aunt very well, she seemed to be pure and had few desires all day long, and she was also kind every time she saw her, but in this case, why did she fall into despair to be Su Lingchuan's concubine?
was stunned, but heard a deliberately suppressed voice behind him.
"What the hell did you do!"
"Master, I really didn't mean to, how did I know it would be like this......"
"Of course you didn't mean to, you just wanted to harm the child in her belly!"
"No, sir, I'm just...... I touched her so lightly that she hit the cupboard herself......"
"You're a bit brainy! Is she crazy, knowing that she is pregnant with a child, and still going to hit that cupboard? β
"Old man......"
Su Ziran squinted, turned around slowly, and walked towards the two of them step by step, her expressionless little face becoming more and more cold.
"What is the truth, won't you know when Aunt Qing wakes up and asks? I only hope that my father will not favor the murderer of the Su family's blood when the time comes! β
The faces of the two people on the other side were all white.
She hooked her lips lightly again, "Didn't my father forget, my daughter accidentally bumped my wife's stomach when she was young, although the third sister was safe in the end, my daughter still suffered from her father's family law!" Now, regardless of the child in Aunt Qing's womb, even Aunt Qing herself is dying......" She paused deliberately for two seconds, and then asked in an almost gloating tone, "Madame should be unable to escape that cane, right?" β
Qi Huanyuan's feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Su Lingchuan immediately supported behind her, turned his head and angrily reprimanded Su Ziran: "The prime minister has his own opinions, don't be alarmist here!" β
What a proposition of its own!
"Then the daughter is waiting for her father's opinion." Her tone was light, as if she didn't take the anger of the two to heart at all, she brushed her sleeve robe, and Shi Shiran turned to leave.
Xixuan took advantage of her absence to have already cleaned up the ink dyeing courtyard, and when she came back, she hurriedly brought her the brewed tea, with a slight worry in her eyes: "Princess, how is Aunt Qing?" β
Su Ziran raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect this girl to have a good impression of Aunt Qing, and looked at her with a smile: "It's past the dangerous period." β
She hurriedly explained: "Aunt Qing is very good, she has always been kind to her subordinates on weekdays, and the slave just can't bear to see her become the ...... she is now" The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and in the end she was almost silent.
"What are you nervous about?" Su Ziran couldn't help laughing, and was about to make fun of this girl, but Aunt Qing's personal maid hurriedly ran over.
I thought that something had happened to Aunt Qing, but when I heard the girl, she cried and said, "Aunt Qing has woken up and wants to meet Princess Errui." Aunt Qing said that she hoped that the princess would be able to move to see her because of the love she had lived together for more than ten years in the past. β
Su Ziran originally rushed back for this, but now that the other party has put her posture so low, it makes her a little worried, I'm afraid she doesn't just want to see herself, right?
But no matter what she wants to do, as long as she is on the opposite side of Qi Huanyuan, she is her friend!
"I'll go back to the room to get some things first, and you go and talk to Aunt Qing, I'll be there soon."
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
The maid hurriedly left, Su Ziran turned around and went back to the room, opened the closet, and turned out a sandalwood box engraved with plum blossom patterns, and the old gold lock faintly showed its ancient atmosphere that had not been opened for a long time.
He stared at it for a long time before he opened it and tucked the blue vial into his sleeve.
Aunt Qing withdrew all the maids in the room, even Su Lingchuan and Qi Huanyuan were gone, and I don't know how she persuaded them to leave.
Seeing Su Ziran coming, her eyes were overjoyed, and she hurriedly supported her weak body and wanted to get up.
"Princess Rui, I haven't seen you for so long, are you okay?" She smiled in a hoarse voice.
Su Ziran raised her eyebrows and asked straight to the point: "Aunt Qing asked me to come here so much, it shouldn't be as simple as asking me if I'm okay, right?" β
Aunt Qing was not annoyed by being recognized by others, but she opened her eyes a little uncomfortably, and smiled bitterly: "The princess has always been so smart, and the concubine knows that she can't hide anything from the princess." β
"Then does Aunt Qing want me to help you deal with Qi Huanyuan, or do you want me to ......" She paused, leaned into Aunt Qing's ear, and said with a smile in a suppressed voice, "Help you convey to the woodcutter, your child is gone?" β
Aunt Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and all her expressions froze there, and after a long time, she raised her eyes faintly and looked at her with a face full of disbelief: "Princess...... What does this mean? What woodcutter? The concubine didn't know what the princess was talking about! β
Su Ziran raised her eyebrows: "So far, does Aunt Qing still have to pretend?" Or do you have to bring people to you before you are going to admit it? β
Seeing that Aunt Qing was frightened and frightened, and her thin lips trembled violently, she slowly walked to the round stool and sat down, took out the blue vial in her sleeve, and played with it between her fingers with a smile: "Aunt Qing doesn't need to be so afraid, if I wanted to be bad for you, I wouldn't sit here and listen to you now." β
"That'...... The princess...... What do you want? β
"Actually, I also want to ask, Aunt Qing did not hesitate to risk her life to frame Qi Huanyuan, and now she has asked the maid to spread the word that she wants to see me, what do you want?"
"The concubine is ......" Aunt Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with little confidence: "The concubine is trying to ask the princess to help the concubine escape from the prime minister's ......mansion."
Although Su Ziran had long known that she had no intention of living a rich and extravagant life, she didn't expect that she wanted to escape from this prime minister's mansion, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, in this case, why did she marry in the first place?
As if seeing her question, Aunt Qing smiled miserably: "The concubine's family is just an ordinary farmer, if it weren't for the fact that the concubine was greedy for the beauty of the concubine and threatened by the concubine's elderly parents, how could the concubine leave her fiancΓ© who was married when she was young, and how could she marry to the prime minister's mansion to be a concubine?" β
Su Ziran frowned: "Then you don't plan to care about your parents now?" β
"The concubine's parents died three years ago...... "Her eyes were stubbornly wide open, but her pale lips had been bitten by her, "but the concubine didn't want her fiancΓ© to suffer from displacement, so even if she could only see him secretly once a month when burning incense, the concubine didn't dare to agree to flee the capital with him." β
"So you don't hesitate to use your child's life to frame Qi Huanyuan, just to make a deal with me, and let me use the power of the Rui Wangfu to help you evade the investigation of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
