Chapter 281: Lord of Rosewood
"An order?" Su Shi sat on the big kang by the window and sneered, slowly picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "Who are you and me?" Erlang grew up anyway, I also watched him grow up, although he is not my biological child, but I am still his nominal mother, do you think I will let people directly harm him? ”
Mama Xu is good at everything, but she makes her own decisions for her at every turn, which makes her a little unhappy.
"Madam, it's the slave who is too careful." Mama Xu sneered, "The slave maid is also for the sake of the eldest young master, the eldest young master is obviously the eldest son in the house, but he can't attack the lord, the slave and maid see it in their eyes, and they feel pain in their hearts, and they really feel unhappy." ”
The only contradiction between Su and Mu Yunche and Mu Yunting is this title.
The position of the prince may not be anything to Mu Yunting, but for Mu Yunche, it is very important, he is just a small official in the country, and he really can't find a shining point in front of people, if he has the identity of the prince, he will naturally be much more glorious.
As for the Su family, of course, she hopes that her son can become the real master of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and she can continue to take care of the middle feed in the mansion with peace of mind in the future, just like the Huangfu family.
Otherwise, she is really like what General Su said, since she stayed in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, she is only a guest resident, and the future Yongding Marquis is not her biological son, after her stepson and stepdaughter-in-law take charge of the family business, what is she?
I have long understood that Erlang's daughter-in-law is not a soft character, and she probably can't hold her.
"It's not that you're too careful, it's that your ideas are too direct." Su Shi said indifferently. "You think, if there is something wrong with Erlang, if someone finds out about me lightly, won't it even affect me, this stupid thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of ourselves, we can't do it, if we want to do it, we have to clean ourselves first, otherwise. I don't do it. ”
"What does Madame mean?" Mama Xu realized.
"Because of that Xia Wanyue. The contradiction between the prince and the Guogong Mansion and Erlang is deep, and I am afraid that it will not be resolved in this life. Su Shi said expressionlessly, "Even if we don't do anything, I'm afraid Erlang won't be able to pass the prince's level." ”
Although Mama Xu is her confidant. But the human heart is separated from the belly. I still need to leave half a sentence on my lips.
"The slave and maid understand." Mama Xu nodded. He said in a low voice, "Madame wants to respond to all changes with the same and keep track of the movements on both sides at all times." ”
Su Shi smiled slightly. I kind of agreed with her statement.
"Young lady, my subordinates took a look at the back mountain and found this." Zhou Shun stood on the ground, spread his big hand in front of Shen Qingli, and a sandalwood Buddha bead the size of a soybean appeared in his palm.
Shen Qingli picked up the sandalwood bead and put it in front of him, and looked at it carefully, the Buddha bead was engraved with some textures of flowers, birds, fish and insects, small and exquisite, if it was dropped from the bracelet, then there shouldn't be only one, or did the person find that the bracelet fell off and picked up the others?
asked Zhou Shun: "Did you find such one?" ”
"Back to the young lady, the subordinates have searched all four carefully, and this is the one." Zhou Shunzheng said, "Young lady, judging from this Buddha bead, the one who took away Yuan Dong'er was a native of the Western Regions, and it was a woman, in the Western Regions, only women wear such small beads, and men usually wear grapes-sized ones." ”
Woman?
Shen Qingli suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she had heard Aunt Tian talk about it, saying that the second old man Mu Changfeng had fallen in love with a servant in the Western Regions on the side of the Light Moon Pavilion, and also said that there were five or six new singers on the side of the Light Moon Pavilion a month ago, and two of them were from the Western Regions, so would there be any connection between the two?
"Zhou Shun, I heard that there are two new singers from the Western Regions over there in the Shallow Moon Pavilion recently, you go and check the details of these two people to see if they have robbed Yuan Dong'er." Shen Qingli commanded in a low voice, "Remember, don't startle the snake. ”
"My subordinates understand." Zhou Shun took the order and left.
The next day, Zhou Shun inquired about the results from the Shallow Moon Pavilion, saying that the two singers had found the Shallow Moon Pavilion by themselves, and there was no middleman, and the accent seemed to be from the Yager tribe.
The Jager is the second largest gang in the Western Regions.
I heard that the lord of Rosewood is Yager's person.
But Zhou Shun said that neither of these two singers had ever been out of the Shallow Moon Pavilion that night, and if it was said that the two of them had robbed Yuan Dong'er, it was indeed a little unreasonable.
Thinking of the letter sent by Situ Kong before, Shen Qingli instructed Zhou Shun to go to Lingxiao Temple, she wondered if Yuan Dong'er was in Lingxiao Temple, Zhou Shun and others went for most of the day, but they returned in vain, saying that they did not find Yuan Dong'er's shadow in Lingxiao Temple.
Shen Qingli thought about it for a long time and decided to go to Lingxiao Temple to make an appointment in person.
At present, it seems that most of this incident was done by Situ Kong.
Of course, Bi Tao is strongly opposed, this is too dangerous, if there is any mistake, then she is really guilty and deserves death.
"It's okay, don't worry, let's bring a few more people when the time comes." We have to get them back as soon as possible.
"Young lady, if Mrs. Tai knows, she will definitely not agree to the young lady going to Lingxiao Temple." Bi Tao begged, "Young lady, the snow has not melted right now, and the road is not easy to walk, so it is better not to go out."
What is it that matters so much?
"Bi Tao, if Mrs. Tai and Mrs. asked, you would say that I made a wish before, and now I have finally fulfilled my wish, so I went to repay my wish." Shen Qingli smiled reluctantly, "Trust me, it's okay." ”
Bi Tao had no choice but to take the order.
Soon the appointed day arrived.
Shen Qingli took advantage of the excuse of repaying his vows and went to Lingxiao Temple in person.
Since she was diagnosed with a happy pulse last year, she has not gone out, and now she has come to Lingxiao Temple again, and she feels like a dream.
Huangfu every year to Lingxiao Temple to copy scriptures and eat fast, and the people in the temple are naturally more familiar, Shen Qingli came, on the main hall incense, and in the temple a few laps, before entering the courtyard where Huangfu lived to rest.
The snow had long since stopped, and the yard was white.
Fang Li Fang Yue carefully helped Shen Qingli into the house, and Shen Qingli immediately asked people to take the scriptures to copy, no matter how much they copied. Always a thought.
After staying for more than half an hour, a little novice who looked at him walked in and said, "Donor, there is an invitation from the old people in Lingxiao Pavilion. ”
Fang Li and Fang Yue exchanged glances.
I just wanted to say something, but I heard Shen Qingli put down the brush in his hand and said lightly: "The little master is mistaken, I came to Lingxiao Temple to repay my wishes, not to see some old people." ”
The little novice wanted to say something, but when he saw Fang Li Fang Yue's cold face, he retreated. Walked out the door. He stopped in front of a row of side rooms, pushed the door and walked in, respectfully clasped his hands with the gorgeously dressed woman sitting on the wooden couch, and said, "County Lord, she refuses to come." ”
"Won't come?" The woman's eyes were a little surprised. Forthwith. The corners of the lips are slightly upturned. "Please."
It's just a trick for women to get away with it, she knows it.
The little novice took the order and left.
Shen Qingli resolutely did not move, and copied the scriptures by himself: "If the old people insist on seeing each other." You can come here and get together. "This is her territory, and there are her people all around, and she is not afraid of what Situ Kong will do.
The little novice had no choice but to retreat in a huff.
After a cup of tea.
The door opened.
A gust of incense blows.
It's not Situ Kong, it's a strange woman.
This woman is about twenty years old, wearing a light purple long skirt and a shawl of the same color, looking very noble and indifferent, but she has a veil of the same color on her face, covering most of her face, and she can't see her face, only a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Shen Qingli with a complicated expression: "You are Shen Qingli, the wife of the prince of the Yongding Marquis Mansion?" ”
Her voice trembled a little.
It seems to be as excited as seeing someone you don't want to see or who you really want to see.
"Yes, I don't know who you are?" Shen Qingli also looked at her with complicated eyes.
"I'm Princess Tuoba Zi of King Pingyi." Tuoba Zi replied lightly.
Situ Kong's wife!
Shen Qingli couldn't help but look at her more, judging from the newspaper door, she and Situ Kong seemed to be pretty good, but she came to her through Situ Kong's reason, what was her purpose?
"Hello." Shen Qingli smiled at her, and Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to serve tea.
"I'm not good to have you." Tuoba Zi coldly pushed away the tea bowl and said unceremoniously, "My family Pingyi King calls your name every night, you say, how am I?" ”
Before getting married, she had met Situ Kong, and was attracted by his shrewdness and humble appearance, so she fell in love at first sight and agreed to marry him without thinking.
After getting married, she knew that he had a sweetheart, and called her name almost every night: Li Niang.
After several twists and turns, I inquired for a long time to find out who this Li Niang was.
So, I wanted to meet this woman.
"Could it be that the princess came to me and could solve the problem?" Shen Qingli quietly glanced at the Buddha beads on her wrist and asked, "Doesn't the princess think that this matter should be discussed with King Pingyi?" ”
Tuoba Zi sneered: "It's because I can't solve the problem that I came to you, I want to ask you, since he has you in his heart, why don't you marry him, but become the wife of the prince with peace of mind, but let him miss you, do you know how empty and difficult it feels like!" ”
"The princess misunderstood, the relationship between me and King Pingyi is innocent, not what the princess thinks." Shen Qingli said calmly, "Besides, I have become a relative, and you have also tied the knot, and it really doesn't make much sense to dig out the old past." ”
"A good King Xiang has a dream, the goddess has no heart, Shen Qingli, are you so good at deceiving me?" Tuoba Zi sneered, "If you don't have any intention of him, why did you come to the appointment." ”
"Princess, I came to Lingxiao Temple, not to make an appointment, but to find another person." Shen Qingli said quietly.
"Who?" Tuoba Zi asked disapprerovingly.
"That Yuan Dong'er in the back mountain of the house." Shen Qingli said in a low voice, "I know, she is in the hands of the princess, but I don't know why the princess wants to take her." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about? What Yuan Dong'er? The corners of Tuoba Zi's mouth are slightly upturned.
"The princess thinks that she doesn't know the ghosts, but there will be a mistake in the end, and the princess must not have imagined that the bracelet on her wrist will fall off and fall to the ground!" Shen Qingli showed the Buddha bead in her hand, Tuoba Zi subconsciously looked down at her wrist, the Buddha bead in her hand was the one she had left behind.
Shen Qingli said again, "I don't know how the princess's Buddha beads fell in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion?" ”
"Now, I won't hide it from you." Tuoba Zi said in a deep voice, "Because I heard that Yuan Dong'er of your Yongding Marquis Mansion is the sister of King Pingyi, so I want to take her back to the Western Regions, what?" Can't you? ”
"Naturally, Yuan Dong'er is from our Mufu, how can you take it away if you say it? Besides, that Yuan Dong'er is just a subordinate in the mansion, and he is not the sister of King Pingyi at all, who are you listening to? Shen Qingli smiled reluctantly.
"It doesn't matter who I listen to, the important thing is that I believe that person's words and not you." Tuoba Zi smiled coldly, "If it's really just a subordinate in your mansion, then why do you bother to chase here, don't tell me that you Mufu is generous to your subordinates." ”
"Princess, no matter what, it's always a loss for you to rob our people in Mufu, aren't you?" Shen Qingli smiled faintly, "Anyway, I'm here to ask the princess for someone today, and I ask the princess to return the person to me." ”
"What if I don't give it?" Tuoba Zi said coldly.
"Then don't blame me for being rude." Shen Qingli glanced at Fang Li.
Fang Li stepped forward with a flash, put a dagger against Tuoba Zi's neck, and said word by word: "To hand over or not to pay?" ”
"Shen Qingli, if you dare to threaten me, I will sue you, even if I die, I will inevitably pull you to be the back." Tuoba Zi said angrily, "You have the ability to kill me, kill me!" ”
"I don't kill you, I just want to take Yuan Dong'er back and sue me, where is she? Who sued you that she was the sister of King Pingyi? Shen Qingli asked lukewarmly, "If the princess doesn't say it, it's okay, it's just that this is the big beam, not the Western Regions, if the princess wants to get out, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, I have no intention of offending the princess, I just hope that the princess can return the person to me." ”
"Humph! Just a few of you, you want to threaten me too? Tuoba Zi sneered, and suddenly flew up and kicked away the dagger in Fang Li's hand, and the dagger stabbed straight into the desk in front of Shen Qingli, and the cold and hard knife surface flashed with a cold light.
At this time, Zhou Yingsheng broke in, quickly clicked on Tuoba Zi's acupuncture points, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you are the princess of King Pingyi or the lord of the Western Regions, I only ask you, where is Yuan Dong'er?" ”
Although Tuoba Zi's body couldn't move, he could speak, and said angrily: "You are bullying people, what kind of heroes are you, I will never tell you about the whereabouts of Yuan Dong'er." ”
"That's it, since the princess refuses to say it, then I can't force people to make it difficult." Shen Qingli got up slowly and ordered, "Don't be rude to the princess, let her go back." ”
"Young lady......" Zhou Shun wanted to speak and stopped, he actually wanted to say that he had a way to deal with such a woman, and he had a way to make her speak.
"Let her go." Shen Qingli repeated it again. (To be continued......)
