Chapter III: Confrontation
Between Hongxuan and Qingxinju, there is a laneway across the back garden of Pingyang Palace, and by the gate of the east corner of the garden, there is an independent courtyard house with white walls and red tiles. A row of towering trees is planted outside the inverted seat, standing straight and upright, as resolute as a guard standing guard.
The solemnity is more and more set off the solemn atmosphere at the moment.
There is a black and ebony arhat couch on the tea room of the main house, and there is a square low table in the center. On the left side of the low table sat a thin man wearing a purple and green civil official uniform, who was the left minister of the ruling and opposition countries, the uncle of the country, and Xu Qi, the king of Pingyang.
Xu Qi is Chinese New Year's Eve five today, in the year of Huamao, and it is not difficult to see from the description of the grace and grace that the jade tree in his youth is in the wind.
He was sitting on a precarious side, holding a teacup in his hand, leisurely holding the floating leaves. The eyes that can perceive a qiē are full of unhappiness, and the handsome face always carries the easy-going generosity of the superior.
Only those who really know him know what kind of decisiveness and coldness are hidden under this easy-going generosity.
Xu Ruliang is the one who understands him.
Because he understood, he knew how to avoid it cautiously, and took Fei Xiang to stand silently in the center of the tea hall with his head down.
Zhang's mother knelt at her feet, her aqua blue gown was stained with dust, and her image was completely gone.
When the lacquer carved smoke entered the door, what he saw was this battle.
On the way, I had already heard the news from my mother-in-law, but Xu Ruliang didn't say anything.
She stabilized her confidence a little, blessed her husband, and went to sit down on the right side. Interrogated Xu Ruliang and said: "Mother Zhang said that you instigated your younger brother and sister to go to Yanyue Slope, what do you have to say?" ”
Xu Ruliang had no way to provide evidence, so he could only repeat weakly and stubbornly: "I didn't instigate them, they came to me first." ”
Zhang's mother cried and begged, "Please tell the truth to the county lord." This is just a sentence to you, but for the slaves and maids, if you can't clear your grievances, it is a big mistake to kill your head. County Lord, please tell the truth, the prince and his wife love you. ”
said this, as if Xu Ruliang refused to let her live.
Xu Ruliang looked at Zhang's mother silently.
Back then, she just listened to this woman say pitiful, and she felt sorry for a while, admitting that she instigated Xu Chong and Xu Ning to go to Yanyue Slope to play cricket. thought that it was still the same as before, as long as she admitted it, the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, the lacquer carving smoke left a back hand and wanted to punish the maid on duty.
At that time, she wanted to turn over the confession and save the book, but it was too late, and she was scolded by her father for being "capricious and difficult to achieve". After that, he was punished and grounded, and his brother was disliked by his father......
As for Zhang's mother, in fact, she still can't escape death.
Because, it shouldn't be, this woman shouldn't try to get involved with the son of a poisonous woman.
Xu Chong listened to Zhang's mother's words very much, which made the lacquer carving Yan'er, who was his mother, dissatisfied, and wanted to get rid of it for a long time.
Qi Diao Yan'er is now using Zhang's mother to frame Xu Ruliang, and after Ershu is beaten to death, Xu Chong's grandmother and the maid in charge will jump out, saying that they can't bear to see Xu Ruliang punished, even if they will be retaliated by Zhang's mother, they must tell the truth.
After the "truth was revealed", Zhang's mother was stripped to death with a cane and abandoned to a mass grave.
However, Xu Ruliang not only did not regain her innocence, but was even more disliked, because she lied and died in vain, which was chilling.
In the end, only Qidiao Yan'er was the winner, not only suppressed a pair of children left by the original partner, eradicated dissidents and regained the heart of his son, but also got a lot of comfort and tenderness from her husband......
"The county lord? Lord, tell you the truth. Zhang's mother crawled over on her knees, bursting into tears.
Xu Ruliang slowly retracted his distant thoughts, his expression was stunned, as if he was frightened, and he turned his eyes to look upwards.
Qi Diao Yan'er secretly clenched his fists, his eyes full of antiquity.
With Xu Ruliang's habitual temperament, he doesn't know that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, but he still likes to meddle in things, and he takes action to protect people and be their shield. Now as long as she is responsible for Zhang's mother...... Hmph, don't even think about it!
Xu Ruliang was in trouble, and he didn't think of a perfect countermeasure for a while.
Before meeting Zhang's mother, she didn't recall that this matter still involved Zhang's mother, thinking that as long as she kept Ershu, she thought that the method was relatively simple.
Apparently not working now.
Zhang's mother said this, if she still doesn't admit it, she is selfish and selfish, and she won't save her when she dies - after all, most people don't expect that the lacquer carving smoke still has a back hand.
Once such a reputation is rumored, she loses her prestige in front of her subordinates, how will she gain a foothold in the future?
But can she admit it?
What to do?
Although she had already seen the trap of lacquer carving, she could not be too witty on the surface of the abrupt appearance, let alone show the unpredictable prophet......
The hateful lacquer carving smoke is cunning, which puts her in a dilemma!
Mother Zhang climbed a few steps closer to her, swaying the corners of her clothes, and pleaded: "County master, the slave begs you, poor and poor slave, just tell the truth." ”
Xu Ruliang subconsciously took a step back to the side.
Qi Diaoyan'er raised her eyebrows, motioned for her to come closer, and said with a pleasant face: "I know that you are scared and want to escape, which is understandable." But after all, human life is at stake, and you should always tell your father what happened at that time. ”
Xu Ruliang looked at Xu Qi.
Xu Qi still closed his eyelids slightly, not moving like a bell.
Xu Ruliang's heart is cold, she is the daughter of her father! It was clear that she had already said that it was not her who instigated it, but her father saw her confronting a servant woman, but he did not have the slightest inclination to defend her......
My father can't point to it, what else can I do?
She forced herself to be still. After thinking about it, he cautiously asked, "Is it really so strict?" ”
Lacquer carved Yan'er suppressed her impatience and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I'll have to think about it." Xu Ruliang frowned distressedly and said, "At that time, I was taking a lunch break, and Brother Chong and Xiao Ning came to me to play in Yanyue Slope...... I don't know who got up, why don't you wait for Brother Chong to wake up and ask Brother Chong? ”
The lacquer carving smoke choked when he was speechless, and his heart was angry.
Others may not be able to perceive the crisis implied in this sentence, but as the implementer of the whole plan, she has a clear heart, and Xu Ruliang pushed Xu Chong to the position she set for Xu Ruliang.
thought that Xu Ruliang did it on purpose, but when she touched the innocent expression and the clear black eyes, she couldn't help but feel that she was too careful.
This girl should be crooked.
Qi Diaoyan'er stabilized her mind and said: "You are the eldest sister, you should have the responsibility of being the eldest sister, don't blame the younger brother for all the problems." ”
Is the poisonous woman out of her mouth?
Xu Ruliang wondered: "But I really don't know, does Madam want me to talk nonsense?" Turning to Xu Qi, he said aggrievedly: "My daughter just wants to ask Brother Chong for the truth, not to push the problem to my younger brother, and also ask my father Wang Mingjian to make decisions for my daughter." ”
Lacquer carving smoke is disgusted: "You kid ......"
Xu Qi raised his eyelids slightly, slowly cut off the lacquer carving smoke and said: "She never shirked the trouble in the past, but today she never admits it, there must be a hidden secret, just wait for Chong'er to wake up and make a decision." ”
The lacquer carving is smoky.
She wanted to use "inertia" to make Xu Ruliang take the bait, but she didn't expect Xu Qi to also use "inertia" to counter her.
It's all to blame for this little girl's film that is abnormal today!
His hands were clenched into fists under the wide sleeves, and he hated to death in his heart, and he had to pretend to be generous and said: "The prince is wise." ”
A room full of people began to wait for Xu Chong to wake up.
Xu Ruliang's tense heartstrings loosened, and he felt a little more comfortable.
The lacquer carving smoke sat like pins and needles, and he didn't know when Brother Chong would wake up, so he leaked his mouth without knowing it...... You have to teach him how to speak as soon as possible.
But so many people watched......
She was about to use an excuse to break people away, Xu Ruliang suddenly said, "My daughter wants to go and see Brother Chong." ”
To add insult to injury.
The lacquer carving smoke wanted to stop it, but Xu Qi nodded first.
Xu Ruliang was about to go to the inner room, but as soon as he stepped out, he planted himself forward. Fortunately, Fei Xiang's eyes were quick and he hugged him, so he didn't fall to the ground, but he was already faint and weak.
The lacquer carving smoke is shining brightly, what a chance!
