Chapter 386: Temptation
Lu Qingrong found that Lijuan was only followed by the mother holding the child, and there was no one else, so he asked, "Why didn't you see the maid last time?" ”
"The house in Muxi Hutong is out of water, she was called for questioning, and she hasn't come back for a few days." When Lijuan mentioned this, he was still a little afraid.
Lu Qingrong remembered that the last time they met, Lijuan mentioned that the maid was sent by the Hou Mansion of Anle, and she didn't come to this Lichun Courtyard.
Considering Lijuan's body, Lu Qingrong didn't want to stay for a long time, and wanted her to rest quietly and comfortably.
Just as he was about to say goodbye, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, which was slightly noisy.
Mrs. Wu, Tang Shan, He Qingwan and his entourage poured into Lichun Courtyard, and there were more than a dozen people just following the maids who entered the hall.
Mrs. Wu walked to the main seat and sat down as if no one was around, so she looked around the room and asked in a tone of voice, "Here, which one is Miss Cheng?" ”
Lu Qingrong smiled secretly in his heart, when they came in, there was only one young woman with an unfamiliar face in the room, and this question was too obvious for some reason.
Mrs. Wu had a straight face, waiting for someone to come out to answer.
Lijuan had also served in the East Palace and Fengning Palace, and he was not stunned, so he immediately stepped forward, calmly saluted, and replied: "This must be Mrs. Jingyuan!" Lijuan was taken care of by the prince and his wife, and came to the Hou Mansion to live temporarily, and there was a lot of disturbance, and I hope that Mrs. will not care. ”
As soon as she finished saying these slightly obedient words, Mrs. Wu's face really eased a lot, but after a blink of an eye, when she saw the infant baby behind Lijuan, her face immediately sank again. The tone also became stern: "If you act properly, you can be less disturbing." The Hou Mansion is no smaller than the small door outside, and there are inevitably more rules. But as long as you keep to yourself, don't go out of Lichun Courtyard if you have nothing to do, and everyone will naturally be safe. ”
This is obviously very polite.
Lijuan was slightly stunned, his eyes swept over Tang Shan and He Qingwan who were standing beside Mrs. Wu, although they didn't recognize it, they could see from their unabashedly scrutiny that it was not a good stubble.
Lijuan secretly wondered in his heart. It turned out that Mrs. Shizi was in the Hou Mansion, and she had to face such a group of people......
For Lu Qingrong, he has long been used to it. If this couple could spit out ivory from their mouths, it would make her shudder.
Seeing that Lijuan's eyes were full of kindness when he looked at him, Lu Qingrong was immediately relieved.
When Mrs. Wu saw that these two people were actually frowning in front of her, she immediately put away her sharpness.
"Come on. Pick up this kid and show me! Mrs. Wu squeezed out a smile. said to the grandmother behind Lijuan.
The child was immediately carried to her.
Mrs. Wu looked carefully, knowing that this child's eyebrows and eyes were not very similar to Jiang Xuan, but she still had the intention of provoking, and said: "The eyes are good, and they are a little similar to the prince!" ”
She couldn't say anything better.
But just like that, there are still people who disagree.
Tang Shan and He Qingwan were also looking out to observe the child just now, and heard Mrs. Wu's words. Tang Shan rushed out: "Xu is my clumsiness, I really didn't see the resemblance to the prince of the world!" ”
He Qingwan echoed: "What Madame said." Or when the prince was young. ”
The implication is that it doesn't feel like it.
Mrs. Wu's words were not sincere, and even if they were refuted, she didn't care.
On the contrary, it was Lijuan, listening to their comments on their children's character, and was faintly dissatisfied, but they still put up with it for the time being.
But the three didn't notice it.
He Qingwan, as soon as he entered the door, he stared at Lijuan for a long time.
No matter how I think, it's just a bland face, just in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, I can pick out a lot of people who are stronger than her,
Where is she inferior to her?
Why can she get the favor of the prince?
The more He Qingwan thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, and when no one was silent at the moment, she asked, "I heard that you are separated from the child's father?" ”
Obviously, he didn't believe in it, but he wanted to take it out and ask, which shows what He Qingwan has in mind.
"Yes." Lijuan replied simply, barely convincing himself that there was no malice.
Lu Qingrong next to him was already frowning.
He Qingwan refused to give up, and then asked: "I heard them all call you Miss Cheng, and I thought you were never married!" ”
Only then did Lijuan determine that she was making trouble, but she was relieved, and said calmly: "I really haven't married yet." ”
Everyone in the room was taken aback by her frankness.
Tang Shan was the first to take over: "Miss Cheng is really extraordinary, no wonder she can be valued by the prince!" I look at the formation of the Yulin Army today, as well as the guards of this Lichun Courtyard, I'm afraid that even the sister-in-law's Yuyuan can't compare! ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh secretly, these two people are talking with guns and sticks, fortunately, she doesn't care about comparing herself, at least it's better than them turning around on the matter of "the child and her father".
Lijuan couldn't listen anymore, looked at Tang Shan and He Qingwan, and asked, "After talking so much, I still don't know who these two are?" ”
Tang Shan and He Qingwan both looked embarrassed.
A little maid came out of nowhere, raised her head majestically, and introduced: "This is Fengyuan's ** milk and Aunt He." I was stunned and omitted the word "Tang".
Tang Shan was quite proud when she saw her introduce herself like this.
Lijuan's words overturned her pride: "It turned out to be the county lord of Kangning, it's really disrespectful." ”
Tang Shan's face froze instantly, and she felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, so she could only hold back her face and sulk secretly.
A smile flashed at the corner of Lu Qingrong's mouth, and he was not sure whether Lijuan intended to say this.
Lijuan was on an errand in Fengning Palace, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have seen Qiu Jinting......
Looking at He Qingwan again, because of Song Shixiang's incident earlier, he had a deep grudge against Qiu Jinting in his heart, these days, he wanted to ease up with Tang Shan, so he relieved her at this moment, and the topic went back to the child's father: "I don't know how the child's father is looking?" ”
"Shizi has been helping to find it." Lijuan replied vaguely.
He Qingwan thought that she was weak-hearted, and continued to worry about it: "Since Miss Cheng has not yet married...... With all due respect, I'm afraid this person is really hard to find! ”
Lu Qingrong felt that this topic was not suitable for deep discussion, and was about to step forward to stop it, but he was a step too slow.
"What do you mean by that?" Lijuan asked solemnly.
He Qingwan's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said: "I'm also worried about Miss Cheng, you always have to think about your future!" In case the child's father is not found, or if something has happened to him, he is no longer alive......"
Boy!
Lu Qingrong was taken aback by what she said, and knew that he couldn't let He Qingwan talk like this nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly spoke: "Miss Cheng is still in the middle of the month, she has been standing with us for a long time, and it is time to rest." ”
While Lijuan was grateful, he still didn't forget to turn to He Qingwan, and said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt He for reminding me, I'm afraid that not everyone can have Aunt He's ability......"
He Qingwan's face turned green, and he knew that he was wrong, and he no longer squeaked.
Mrs. Wu, who had been observing from the side for a long time, saw Lijuan's arrogance that could not be concealed, and then glanced at Lu Qingrong, revealing a meaningful smile.
casually said some painless admonitions, and Mrs. Wu led everyone away with satisfaction.
Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Lijuan, and returned to Yuyuan.
In the front hall of the Yu Courtyard, Lu Qianyu was waiting for her anxiously. (To be continued......)
