Chapter Twenty-Three: Assassination
The old lady didn't like to be noisy, so she didn't go out today, but knelt in the ancestral hall to pray for blessings.
As soon as Aunt Qian got the letter, she hurried to the door of Jingyuan and let the incense condense, "My stupid child, Mrs. punished you for kneeling, and didn't say how long you want to kneel, why do you have to kneel so seriously until now, Mrs. is kind and soft-hearted, how can she really punish you for kneeling for a day, get up quickly and don't kneel." ”
Aunt Qian helped Xiangning up and muttered something to her subordinates.
The subordinates originally felt that something was wrong, but when they heard Aunt Qian say this, they also felt that the Liu family was a kind master, and it may not be that Miss Eleven should be punished.
Xiangning couldn't wait to dress up when she returned to Zhiyuan, and Aunt Qian watched from the side and said incomprehensibly, "Xiang'er, you are grounded now, staying alone in the house, what are you doing to dress up." ”
Xiangning said to Aunt Qian while curling her hair in a bun, "Auntie, do you think my mother will find me a good family in the future." ”
Aunt Qian remembered how she had brought the Liu family over the years, and the recent reaction of the Liu family, and her heart was at a loss, but she hated that an aunt couldn't show up to help her daughter choose a lover, "Hey, it's the aunt who is useless, and she can't tie your father's heart." ”
Xiangning thought of her father, and felt a sense of loss in her heart, she had never seen her father eat with her in her memory.
"So, auntie, I rely on myself, I met the eldest prince two days ago, and today he asked me to meet, of course I have to dress up." Xiang Ning said proudly.
As soon as Aunt Qian heard that it was Xiangning who caught up with the eldest prince, she asked in surprise, "Really, does the eldest prince like you?" ”
Xiangning couldn't help but think of what happened in the restaurant that day, a touch of crimson flew on her cheeks, and she said confidently, "Of course, the prince said that if it weren't for Xiang'er being a concubine, he would definitely marry Xiang'er as a princess, but now Xiang'er's status is humble, and I'm afraid she can only be a side concubine in the future." ”
When Aunt Qian heard this, she applauded again and again and said, "I have been a maid for my wife all my life, and finally I got the position of a concubine, and I am not valued by the master. ”
"Auntie, you said these two hairpins, I'll bring that one." Xiangning asked.
"This butterfly is good, you are a good time for the water spirit at this time, and the one with this butterfly looks lively." Aunt Qian looked at Xiangning's little face, and only felt tender and beautiful, she had only been an aunt in her life, but her daughter had won the favor of the prince, which made her very happy.
In fact, how could Aunt Qian be willing to only be a concubine, she made the strategy climb into the master's bed back then, wasn't it also so that she could be on an equal footing with the Liu family one day in the future, but unfortunately she killed an Aunt Wu halfway, which made her completely lose her thoughts.
Sending Xiangning away, she carefully rewarded the people up and down Zhiyuan.
As soon as Luo Ning and her mother came out of the temple, they met a few people fighting at the gate of the temple.
Luo Ning knew at a glance that the people who came were not good, these people were obviously coming for her mother.
I saw that Xiangzhu was blocking her mother's outside at the moment, and she looked very loyal.
Liu and Luo Ning glanced at each other tacitly, and they already understood that this was all a scene.
At this moment, a fierce sword qi slashed towards Luo Ning, Luo Ning was unprepared, and when he was panicking, another sword slashed from the side, robbing the fierce attack.
The killer was obviously defenseless, he didn't expect someone to protect Luo Ning, and after a few rounds, he was unexpectedly defeated by the person in front of him.
Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, thanks to Yue Qian, he picked up a life.
She clearly remembered that the killer in her previous life did not assassinate her, but went to her mother, and then Xiangzhu was loyal and helped her mother as a sword, but why is the plot here different from the memory of her previous life, is it that Aunt Wu can't wait for her life.
Xiangzhu was next to Luo Ning on the side, looking at Xiang to protect Luo Ning, it really blocked Luo Ning's way out, if someone attacked Luo Ning from the side at this moment, Luo Ning would definitely die.
Damn, if this incense bead is not removed today, I am afraid that it will be a great disaster to keep it in the future.
Sure enough, someone had already noticed this, and stabbed over with a sword, and when Luo Ning was about to take this sword, Xiangzhu desperately blocked in front of Luo Ning, and the sword pierced into Xiangzhu's shoulder, and the blood immediately stained his clothes red.
"You are not allowed to hurt Miss." Xiangzhu said faithfully to the Lord.
Luo Ning suddenly realized that after she and Aunt Wu had experienced some battles, the object of trust that Xiangzhu wanted to gain at this moment was no longer her mother, but herself.
Seeing Xiangzhu fall to the ground with blood remaining, Luo Ning decided to make a plan, hugged Xiangzhu, and immediately cried, Liu saw Luo Ning's actions, although he was a little surprised, but he also cried, and by the way, he did not forget to praise Xiangzhu for being a loyal slave.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiangzhu was injured here, the killer over there also withdrew.
Luo Ning sneered in her heart, it seems that they have prepared two plans, one is to assassinate her, and if the assassination fails, the other plan is to win her trust.
Now that Xiangzhu was injured, Liu hurriedly ordered to go home, Luo Ning helped Xiangzhu to sit in the sedan chair, and ordered someone to hurry up to invite Dr. Xiao.
As soon as Xiangzhu heard that she was going to ask Dr. Xiao to treat her, she felt that this Luo Ning believed her, so she couldn't stop her sleepiness and fell asleep.
Luo Ning saw that Xiangzhu had fallen asleep, so he shouted to the palanquin man at the door, "Xiangzhu is very seriously injured, I'm afraid it's too late to go home, find a nearby inn and treat Xiangzhu first." ”
The palanquin man felt that the young lady was a good master with affection and righteousness, so he agreed again and again, saying that there was a human inn in front of him, and he might be able to go there.
Luo Ning waited in the inn for a while before waiting for 'Doctor Xiao', in fact, she knew that Xiao Lang was out of the house, and she was not in the house at this time, and she just wanted to delay time at the moment, but she didn't expect that a Doctor Xiao really came, but it was not Xiao Lang himself, but Xiao Rufei, who was dressed as a man, was Xiao Lang's sister.
Luo Ning was a little embarrassed at the moment, and she didn't know what to say about her plans in the face of Xiao Lang's sister.
Xiao Rufei saw the sorrow in Luo Ning's expression, so he stepped forward and whispered to Luo Ning, "Luo Jun's sister is Ru Fei's sister, if it is believed that Ru Fei's sister will obey her orders, my sister will definitely do it." ”
Luo Ning couldn't help but take a closer look at Ru Fei's appearance when she heard it, she was very dignified and beautiful, and she admired her brother, she wanted to help herself, she also got close to Ru Fei's ear and said, "This maid is Aunt Wu's informant, sister, I don't plan to keep her." ”
Ru Fei smiled faintly after hearing this, and said, "Sister don't worry, sister understands, and there is no trace left on the custom." ”
Xiangzhu felt that someone was giving her another pulse in her sleep, someone was feeding her medicine, she wanted to wake up, but after drinking the medicine, she wanted to go back to sleep.
