"Dark incense, come, from today onwards, go to the mother's room for two hours every day, and my mother will teach you female redness, cooking skills and arithmetic." Zhang called Situ Yanxiang into his room, intending to start teaching her the skills she needed.

Of course, female celebrity, cooking skills and arithmetic are just pretenses, these things Situ Dark Xiang has long known, and they are only stronger than Zhang's.

What Zhang wants to teach her, of course, has another mystery.

Situ Dark's eyes lit up, and he only felt that the door to a new world had opened in front of him......

……

In the palace, Queen Qi Xueyun looked at the edict copied from the Dali Temple's house, and her eyes were about to pop out.

"The prince broke the law, and he was guilty of the same crime as the common people!" ――It is the handwriting of Queen Qi Xueyun!

There is nothing wrong with this sentence in itself, and it can also avoid suspicion for Queen Qi Xueyun.

But the problem is that Qi Xueyun knows that he has never written such an edict!

However, there is no trace of forgery in the handwriting on this edict.

Even when she read it herself, she thought it was written by herself!

Qi Xueyun narrowed her watery eyes, and a shadow appeared in her heart.

There are indeed capable people in the opposing camp......

It's terrible to forge handwriting to the point where it's so perfect and so fake......

Who the hell is this man?!

If it weren't for this edict, Qi Xueyun would have understood that the case of Situ Mansion and Earl Lu's Mansion would definitely not be such an ending!

It seems that they have fallen for someone else's counter-plot.

……

After June, the weather in the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom became hotter.

The entire Situ Mansion is shrouded in deep and shallow layers of greenery.

Cicadas chirp in the backyard. Mixed with the cool sea breeze blowing from the sea, it is much cooler than elsewhere.

Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei sat under the grape trellis in the backyard of Zhiguitang, with thick cushions on the ground. Situ Chenlei sat on the mat, holding the nine consecutive rings in his hand, completely immersed in his own world.

Xiao Meow lay motionless beside him, a pair of vertical cat's eyes looked around vigilantly, even Situ Yingsleeve got up and walked, it would sizzle twice, indicating that he was watching!

Since the last time Situ Chenlei was scared by Lu Dagui, he became seriously ill. Xiao Meow never left Situ Chenlei.

In the past, it would run out on its own for a few hours, but now it follows Situ Chenlei.

Situ Yingsleeve sat on a stone bench next to the small stone table under the grape trellis, holding a Buddhist scripture in his hand. read it to Situ Chenlei slowly.

She didn't expect Situ Chenlei to understand, but the Buddhist scriptures had a strange power to soothe people's hearts, and she hoped that such Buddhist scriptures could soothe Situ Chenlei's severely wounded heart.

"Miss. Miss Shen Er is here. Caisang walked down the steps from the back porch. Standing beside Situ Yingsleeve, he whispered.

Situ Yingsleeve stopped chanting, put down the Buddhist scriptures, got up and stretched, through the complicated grape trellis, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds, the sea and the sky not far away, and said with a smile to Situ Chenlei: "Xiao Lei, your second cousin is here." ”

Situ Chenlei didn't look up, nor did he say anything. buried his head in fiddling with the nine rings in his hand.

His world seems to have only this one nine links.

Situ Yingsleeve knew. He has disassembled and disassembled the nine links in his hand many times, and he is still happy to do it.

Situ Yingsleeve shook his head with a smile, turned around and just walked up the steps of the back porch, when he saw Shen Yule open the curtain of the back door and walk out.

"Cousin, is Xiao Lei better?" Every time Shen Yule came to see her, it started like this.

Not only Situ Yingsleeve was anxious, but everyone in the Shen family was also concerned about Situ Chenlei's situation.

"Much better." Situ Yingsleeve replied like this every time.

But this "much better" is only limited to Situ Chenlei's physical condition.

He still couldn't recognize people, not even Situ Yingsleeve.

I used to call it "sister", but now I can't say a complete sentence.

Shen Yule looked at Situ Chenlei, who was still sitting under the grape trellis, knowing that it was not getting better, shook his head, and returned to sit under the grape trellis hand in hand with Situ Ying.

Cai Qin sent two cups of tea on a turquoise large-leaf jade tray, and two pastries were laid down and placed on a small stone table under the grape trellis.

Shen Yule held the teacup in his hand and turned around, didn't drink it, came back to his senses, and said in a low voice: "Yingsleeve, do you know?" His Majesty ordered Murong Changqing to be the main general, and in two days he would lead his troops to the north to change the defense. ”

Situ Ying was stunned, "I don't know." ”

These days, she has been throwing her whole body and mind on Xiao Lei, and she has no effort to care about outside affairs.

"They didn't tell you either?" Shen Yule went to Nunuzui in the direction where Zhang and Situ Darkincense lived.

Situ Yingsleeve smiled, "They rarely come over." ”

It is said that the Zhang family felt that Situ Dixiang was very dissatisfied, and was detaining her in his yard to raise her personally.

On Situ Yingsleeve's side, the drama of mother's love and daughter's filial piety is no longer staged, and Situ Yingsleeve feels much more relaxed.

Her father, Situ Jianren, won the lawsuit with Earl Lu's mansion, and he was even more complacent.

Now I heard that I work hard every day, take tonic medicine every day, and want to have another son with the Zhang family......

"Actually, it's okay like this, you don't have to smile every day until your face is stiff." Shen Yule pursed his lips, "My mother asked me to remind you, remember to go to the Shili Pavilion outside the capital in two days to send Murong Changqing off." When he returns, you should discuss marriage. ”

Next year, after Situ Ying's sleeves and flute, he will get married.

Situ Yingsleeve looked at Situ Chenlei's appearance, was silent for a while, and said, "...... I don't want to get married so early. ”

Once she gets married, Xiao Lei will only have one person.

Situ Jianren is still alive, and Xiao Lei is not an orphan, so he can't go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion with her.

And leaving Xiao Lei alone in this Situ Mansion, Situ Yingsleeve couldn't even think of it.

"Not married?" Shen Yule hurriedly pushed her arm, "Don't be stupid. What if you don't get married? Be an old girl for the rest of your life? Xiao Lei is a boy, you can't stay by his side all the time! ”

"I can't accompany him for the rest of my life, but Xiao Lei's current situation. How can you let me rest assured that I will marry alone? Also, I just want to wait for Xiao Lei to recover, after he turns fifteen years old and becomes an adult. I'll marry again. That's not too much, right? This thought has been lingering in Situ Ying's heart for a long time.

She is fourteen years old this year, and Xiao Lei is ten years old.

Five years later, she will be nineteen years old, Xiao Lei will be fifteen years old, and it will not be too late to marry again.

"Xiao Lei is fifteen years old? At that time, Murong Changqing was twenty-two years old! You're not kidding! Shen Yule's eyes widened. wanted Situ Yingsleeve to see the facts clearly, "Murong Changqing is already seventeen years old, and I will wait for you for another five years." He's twenty-two! ”

A man in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom could marry a wife at the age of fifteen, and at the age of twelve, he could have a room in the house.

Does a man who has never had a woman until the age of twenty-two have zài in this world?

Shen Yule didn't think that Murong Changqing could be clean and clean, and waited for Situ Yingsleeve to be twenty-two years old.

Situ Yingsleeve pursed his lips, "He can take a concubine first." I don't mind. ”

Now for her. His lifelong happiness is far less important than Xiao Lei's safe growth.

In her life, she came to repay Xiao Lei's debts.

In her previous life, she didn't get married, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Take a concubine first? Would you really like to? Shen Yule was anxious, "How can you do this?" Your brother is very important, but what about yourself?! ”

Situ Yingsleeve lowered his eyes and gently blew the hot air rising from the teacup. "I don't mind. You may not understand, but in my heart. I really think my brother is more important. ”

"Well, you're a dead star." Shen Yule stroked his forehead, "Forget it, I'll go back and ask my mother to see what she has in mind." You should still find a famous doctor for Xiao Lei to take a look, and you can't let him delay you. ”

Shen Yule gossiped with Situ Yingsleeve for a while before getting up and leaving.

When she came out of the corner gate of Situ Mansion, she saw a man in a green shirt standing under the wooden tree next to the corner gate.

The man was handsome, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was depressed. ――It was Lu Chengyuan, who was retired by Shen Yule.

Shen Yule lowered his eyes and walked quietly in front of him, without speaking.

When Lu Chengyuan saw Shen Yule coming out, he also took a step back, obviously not waiting for her.

Shen Yule helped the maid to get into the Shen family's car, and when she lowered the curtain, she saw that the Situ family's car had also returned, and a beautiful little girl wearing a green Luo skirt got out of the car.

It was Situ Dark Xiang who came back from outside.

Situ Yanxiang looked up and saw Lu Chengyuan standing next to the corner door, stunned, and tears immediately filled his eyes.

She gave Lu Chengyuan a sad smile, raised her head and walked past him, and went to the corner gate.

"Dark incense!" Lu Chengyuan was shocked by the tearful smile and hurriedly called her.

Situ Yanxiang didn't look back, and quickly walked away.

Lu Chengyuan stood there dumbfounded, with Situ Dark's tearful eyes in front of him.

After all this time, he still can't forget her.

Zhang got out of the cart and looked at Yiqiē in his eyes.

She walked up to Lu Chengyuan and said kindly: "Fourth Prince Lu, please go back." We are secretly blessed and deserve your kindness. ”

Lu Chengyuan wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve and muttered, "Aunt Situ, I know I'm sorry for the dark incense." I have come today to say goodbye. ”

"Resignation?"

"I'm already in the military. In the near future, we will open up with the army and go to the north to change the defense. I don't know how long it will take to come back. I'm just here to say sorry to Dark Xiang......" Lu Chengyuan finished speaking, turned around and left.

Zhang looked at Lu Chengyuan's back, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Lu Chengyuan returned to his home, knelt in front of his mother, Mrs. Lu, and kowtowed three times, "Mother, my son is not filial, and I am ashamed of my father's ancestors." This time, his son followed the army to the battle, hoping to make a war exploit and wash away the shame that his son brought to the Lu family. ”

Second Mrs. Lu cried out, hugged his head, "son", "meat", and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken, "Why can't you think of going to the army?" Our Lu family is a five-phase family, you have already been lifted, and if you become a jinshi in the future, you will be better than joining the army! ”

Lu Chengyuan choked up and said, "Mother, if I offend Shen Xiangfu, I can no longer be a civil official." Take the road of military generals, there is a way out. Otherwise, he will only have to take care of the affairs of the Lu family for the rest of his life. ”

"You kid! I don't know what evil I have fallen into! What's so good about Situ dark incense! You don't even want a home for her! Second Lady Lu turned to think of the culprit Situ Darkincense, and slapped Lu Chengyuan's back with hatred.

Lu Chengyuan was silent. Let his mother, Mrs. Lu, slap it.

Finally came out of the room of Second Mrs. Lu, Lu Chengyuan didn't want to go back to his room, so he turned around and went out to the restaurant outside to eat.

He was not trained in the military from an early age. Turning to the army is not without fear.

But he had no other way.

It was getting dark, and Lu Chengyuan came out of the restaurant drunk.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Lu Chengyuan went to the direction of Situ Mansion uncontrollably.

He tried his best to bribe the disciples of Situ Mansion and help him pass the word to Situ Darkincense, so that he would see her when he was leaving and say a few words to her.

Situ Yanxiang was reluctant to marry him. He was confused, sad, but in the end. He still chose to forgive her.

He just wanted to look at her again now, say a few words, and that's all.

The day before the expedition, Lu Chengyuan came to the backyard of the meditation room of the Great Compassion Temple that he had agreed with Situ Darkincense to wait for her.

But he didn't wait for Situ Dark Incense. Waiting for her was a strange middle-aged woman.

"May I ask ...... you?" Lu Chengyuan asked suspiciously. I couldn't help but look behind her.

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said in a low voice, "Fourth Prince Lu, the second lady of our family didn't come. After a pause, she said again: "Why do you still refuse to let go of our second miss?" You've ruined her whole life......"

It turned out to be the servant woman of the Situ family.

Lu Chengyuan pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "I can marry Dark Xiang, but she doesn't want to marry me......"

"Young man, it's not like marrying her will make up for all your mistakes." The middle-aged woman sighed. Quickly glanced at Lu Chengyuan, "Fourth Prince Lu." Are you genuinely repentant? ”

"Of course." Lu Chengyuan said busily, "If your family can marry Dark Xiang to me, I know if I am telling the truth." ”

"The second lady of our family is only ten years old, and it is not yet time to say that she will marry." The middle-aged woman muttered, "If Fourth Prince Lu is sincere to our second young lady, I hope you can do the last thing for her." ”

"What's the matter? If you say it, I'll do it! Lu Chengyuan was overjoyed and patted his chest and said.

The middle-aged woman sighed lightly, and the expression on her face was very stunned.

Although she was not a stunning beauty, the sigh was like a demagoguery.

Lu Chengyuan's eyes straightened, and he asked like a demon: "What can I do for Dark Incense?" ”

“…… At the beginning of that incident, we all knew that Lu Sigongzi was actually a good intention, and he wanted to support the second lady of our family. But the eldest lady of our family deeply hates my wife for marrying my lord and taking her mother's position, and she also has a face-saving affection for the second lady. To tell you the truth, the eldest lady actually has a sour face, not a good stubble. The middle-aged woman told the original story, "This incident finally came out, in fact, I can't blame your third brother Lu Sangongzi, nor can I blame the second prince Zheng, it's all the eldest lady behind the scenes." If she hadn't gone to the Zhuangyuan Building to find out who sent the banquet to the second lady at that time, your affairs would not have become known to everyone, so that even the good relatives of Shen Xiangfu would have been lost. ”

Lu Chengyuan was like being slapped on the head, knocking his eyes into Venus.

"It's really Situ Yingsleeve?!" He never thought that the one who made this matter public was actually Situ Yingsleeve, who was regarded as his sister!

"Dark incense must be sad, right? I know she respects her sister's ......," Lu Chengyuan muttered, feeling even more pity for Situ Dianxiang.

And what happened at the beginning was indeed not Situ Darkincense's initiative, but his own bent on supporting Situ Darkincense.

In the end, it came to the point that the city was full of wind and rain, and he was not annoyed.

It's just that he thought at that time that his third brother Lu Chengfeng and the second prince Zheng had inadvertently made trouble, and he couldn't and didn't dare to hate these two.

Now that he knows that Situ Yingsleeve is the mastermind behind the scenes, his hatred cannot be contained for a while, and even his facial features are distorted.

“…… Of course, the second lady is sad, but she has always been pure and kind, and she will only knock out her teeth and swallow blood. Now at home, he is cautious in his words and deeds every day, does not go out of the door, does not step out of the second door, and takes all the mistakes on himself. To be honest, I was very distressed to watch. The middle-aged woman imprinted the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Is it really Situ Yingsleeve who poked this thing out?!" Lu Chengyuan's fists clenched loudly, and he gritted his teeth.

"If the fourth prince of Lu doesn't believe it, you can go to the Zhuangyuan Building and ask if there was a maid who came to inquire about who sent the banquet to Situ Mansion that day. The maid is none other than the big maid next to the eldest lady. The middle-aged woman's voice said calmly, not letting go of the slightest change in Lu Chengyuan's feelings.

This woman said that she had a name and a surname, and asked him to go to the champion building to inquire, it should be eight or nine and ten.

Lu Chengyuan's face was dark, "Of course I'm going to ask." What do you want me to do for Dark Incense? You open your mouth. ”

"Nothing else. I just want to treat others the way they do. The middle-aged woman said word by word, "The eldest lady ruined the second miss, I grew up watching the second miss, I just want to be evil and have evil retribution!" ”

"Evil is rewarded?" Lu Chengyuan was stunned, "Do you want to ......?"

The middle-aged woman beckoned to him.

Lu Chengyuan hurriedly leaned over.

The middle-aged woman whispered in his ear: "The day after tomorrow, the son will go on an expedition." The eldest lady will go to Shili Pavilion outside the city to bid farewell to her fiancé. I only hope that when the time comes, Lu Sigongzi will be able to say this......" he said, whispering in his ear.

Lu Chengyuan heard the beads of sweat on his forehead, and he closed his eyes, "I'll think about it." ”

If he said this, Situ Yingsleeve's reputation would probably not be guaranteed.

However, he thought of what Situ Yingsleeve had done to Dark Xiang, and felt that this was her retribution......

The next day, Lu Chengyuan went to the Champion Building and asked the shopkeeper if anyone had come to the Champion Building to inquire about who sent the banquet when he sent the banquet to Situ Mansion.

The incident of that day was so big that the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Building remembered it vividly, and said without thinking: "Yes, someone did come to ask." It's a wealthy maid, I heard that it seems to be a ...... from Situ Mansion."

All the words I said to the middle-aged woman were correct.

Lu Chengyuan's eyes darkened when he thought of the ruined reputation of Dark Incense.

He owes her, so let him help her pay off her debts.

……

At the back door of Situ's mansion, a middle-aged woman walked in with cabbage.

She turned around in the inner courtyard of Situ Mansion and soon disappeared.

Finally, he walked into the main courtyard where Zhang and Situ Jianren lived.

"Madam, everything is done." The middle-aged woman whispered back.

Zhang nodded and rewarded her with a purse, "Well done, go down." ”

This middle-aged woman is her mother-in-law, who is also from Northern Qi, and is their person.

"Dark incense, you haven't been to see your sister and brother for a long time, you should go and see it, remember to help your sister figure out what clothes to wear tomorrow." Zhang called Situ Yanxiang in, "There is also this plate of steamed taro flour cake with winter melon sugar, which is newly made in the small kitchen, send it to your sister and brother." ”

Situ Darkincense understood, personally carried the food box, and went to the Zhigui Hall where Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei lived.
