Chapter 216: Mutual Restraint
In the Qinyi Temple.
As soon as Lu's mother entered the house, Mrs. Wu asked, "How is it?" โ
"After leaving us, I went directly to Yuyuan." Lu's mother replied.
"Hmph." Mrs. Wu laughed out loud in her nose, and as she expected, she then asked, "How did you do what you were told?" โ
"Madame, don't worry, you've already gone out for a walk!" Mother Lu said confidently, "It is estimated that in less than three days, everyone in the house will know what happened to Mrs. He's door!" โ
"Good!" Mrs. Wu sneered, "I want to see if she goes back to the Lu Mansion for help, or if she bears the name of this 'jealous woman' alone!" โ
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
Mother Lu's "three days" was really too modest, but after a moment's effort, Aunt Wei of Jingchun Hall already knew about it, and immediately went to the backyard to tell Aunt Chen.
The two agreed that this was a good opportunity to observe Mrs. Shizi!
Since there was really no one to take refuge into, they desperately hoped that Lu Qingrong could resolve the matter at the moment and show their ability to convince them.
At this time, in the Yu Courtyard, Lu Qingrong came to the front hall to see Qiu Muyun.
Today, Qiu Muyun was wearing an autumn-colored peach blossom pattern gilt trimmed engraved silk gown, a water-green skirt, her hair combed into a high bun, and a complete set of parrot green jade heads, dressed up extraordinarily grandly. I don't know if it's the foil of this outfit, or if she deliberately holds the shelf at this time, in short, in Lu Qingrong's eyes, I feel that she is indeed a lot more dignified than before.
"Mrs. He is really a rare guest, what is the matter with coming to the Hou Mansion today?" Lu Qingrong didn't say a word of greeting, and asked about the intention when he came up.
"Mrs. Shizi said so, but she will be outside!" Qiu Muyun didn't care, and a smile appeared on his face, "Seeing that this day is getting hotter and hotter, I sent Qingwan some summer clothes, I just went to Qinyi Courtyard to meet Mrs. Wu, thinking that if I don't come to see Mrs. Shizi, it seems to be rude!" โ
Lu Qingrong bowed his head slightly and did not speak. With her personality, it is unlikely that she will directly say the words "I am not familiar with you".
Seeing this, Qiu Muyun did not feel embarrassed at all.
"Qingwan has been bothering in the house for many days, thanks to the care of the prince and his wife, we have no chance to express the gratitude in our hearts, and I hope you don't pick on our reason!" Qiu Muyun's tone was slightly exaggerated.
Lu Qingrong couldn't help frowning slightly, not because of her tone, but because of what she said, no matter how it sounded, it was a little awkward.
What does it mean to be "taken care of by the son and his wife"?
"Mrs. He's grateful, we don't dare to accept it!" Lu Qingrong was no longer silent, "I think I have never taken care of the young lady in the house, and about the prince, it is even more of a shadow!" Mrs. He should figure it out and talk about it! โ
When Qiu Muyun heard this, not only was he not in a hurry, but he also showed a strange smile, and then said: "Mrs. Shizi's words, don't say it so absolutely, maybe there is something that you haven't noticed......"
Lu Qingrong looked at her smug face, disdainful in his heart, if he hadn't guessed what tricks they were going to play, he would have sent her away a long time ago, and then he still had time to deal with her again.
Sure enough, Qiu Muyun saw that Lu Qingrong didn't speak, so he had to start talking by himself: "Speaking of which, I also have something in my heart that I don't understand. A few days ago, Qingwan went back to Hefu, I saw her words flickering, often lost her mind, asked her what was wrong and refused to say, and finally forced her to ask for a long time, before I told me, it turned out that someone in the house gave her a handkerchief, which led her to feel worried, after all, she is just a woman in the boudoir, and she is always afraid of damaging her reputation......"
The worry of "losing one's reputation" came out of Qiu Muyun's mouth, making it a little difficult for Lu Qingrong to adapt.
But finally got to the point, Lu Qingrong asked directly: "Who gave her a veil?" โ
"This ......" Qiu Muyun pretended to think for a moment, "Originally, Qingwan refused to say that he died, and I didn't know either, but I was not sure, so I showed the handkerchief to Mrs. Wu, only to know that the handkerchief turned out to be the belongings of the prince!" โ
Before the words fell, Qiu Muyun began to pay attention to Lu Qingrong's reaction, seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she thought that she was overly frightened, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "We really can't help this matter, how important is the name of our daughter's family, now that such a thing happens, if it spreads, how will Qingwan marry in the future?" โ
Lu Qingrong snorted coldly in her heart, if she was really afraid of spreading the word, would she still jump up and down like this?
turned to laugh secretly, and found that he was almost stunned by Qiu Muyun's eloquent words, and took this as a real thing!
"Can you show me a look?" She asked indifferently.
When Qiu Muyun heard this, he immediately took out the handkerchief from his arms and held it in front of Lu Qingrong's eyes with both hands: "Mrs. Shizi, please take a look." โ
Lu Qingrong only glanced at it, and recognized that it was indeed the handkerchief he had embroidered for Jiang Xuan.
After making a careful observation, Lu Qingrong raised his head and said slowly: "This veil is not the thing of the world!" โ
The tone is light but firm, unquestionable.
Qiu Muyun was a little stunned, he didn't expect Lu Qingrong to speak so righteously.
"It's better for Mrs. Shizi to see clearly!" Qiu Muyun was still holding the handkerchief, "This is what Mrs. Wu has admitted!" โ
"Mrs. Wu doesn't often see the prince on weekdays, and when she asks for peace, she comes and goes in a hurry, and she doesn't pay much attention to it." Lu Qingrong coughed lightly, first glanced at the green bamboo standing beside her with a little embarrassment, and then continued to say with a straight face: "Mrs. He has also seen the world, and you look at the embroidery of this handkerchief, it looks like something from the Hou Mansion?" โ
Regarding this point, Qiu Muyun used to be a little vague, but He Qingwan repeatedly assured her in front of her that it was the thing on the prince of the world, which made her dispel her doubts.
Jiang Xuan's casual and uninhibited temperament is already famous, maybe he likes this kind of crooked tricks!
Qiu Muyunfu straightened his waist again: "It's not like it, and it doesn't mean that it's not!" Qingwan is a docile and polite woman, and she will never rashly wronged the prince! โ
"Oh?" Lu Qingrong laughed out loud for the first time, "I don't understand this, didn't Mrs. He just say that she never wanted to say who it was?" โ
"This ...... She only admitted it later! Qiu Muyun froze for a while, and then became impatient, "In short, this must be a gift from the prince of the world, and it is not something that you can end lightly with a word of denial!" โ
Lu Qingrong didn't ask her how she wanted to end it, she just insisted that this veil was not Jiang Xuan's.
Qiu Muyun had nothing to do, and finally became angry and removed the veil from Lu Qingrong's eyes: "If Mrs. Shizi denies it like this, I think we might as well go to the official and let the people in the government evaluate and see if it is the thing of the prince of the world!" โ
Lu Qingrong was not in a hurry. Although with her understanding of Qiu Muyun, she is really a capable person who can do this, but after all, the He family is also a well-known official family, and her in-laws have come to the capital, and she will not be allowed to lose the face of the He family like this.
Lu Qingrong was trying to sue her, not mentioning the matter of face for the time being, even if it was the government, it was impossible to listen to her family.
But she didn't want to, and a sudden voice from the door rushed in front of her: "Who wants to sue the official?" โ
The voice was deep and strong.
Lu Qingrong and Qiu Muyun followed the prestige at the same time.
I saw that Sun Yiming had already walked into the flower hall on his own, wearing an indigo blue placket straight jacket, a green hairpin bundle of hair, a tall figure, a crown like jade, and a calm and calm between his eyebrows. Without looking closely, it's hard to spot the tiny marks that the years have left on his face.
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but compare him with Qiu Muyun in front of him, as if he were two generations, it was hard to imagine that the two had ever been husband and wife.
However, at this time, Qiu Muyun was stunned when he saw that it was Sun Yiming who walked in, and he stood there not knowing what to do. The momentum of shouting for the official in anger just now has long since disappeared.
"Just for a handkerchief, you want to see an official?" Sun Yiming said this to Lu Qingrong, since he came in, he hadn't glanced at Qiu Muyun yet.
Qiu Muyun's side was already like a mute, and he didn't squeak anymore.
"Mrs. He said that this handkerchief belongs to the prince, I said no, no, I was saying that I was going to the government to comment!" Lu Qingrong's tone was slightly playful.
Sun Yiming turned around and walked towards Qiu Muyun, first took the handkerchief from her hand very naturally, held it up and shone it in the sun, and then said: "I think this handkerchief is good, or count me as a share, go back and call me too, let's go to the government to evaluate the reasoning together, and see who is awarded in the end!" โ
When Sun Yiming spoke, he still looked at Lu Qingrong, and only when he said "go to the government to evaluate the reasoning", he glanced at Qiu Muyun meaningfully.
Qiu Muyun was shocked, his face could not hide the shock, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
"Don't go to the government?" Sun Yiming squinted at Qiu Muyun at this time, "Then this is mine!" โ
After that, he really had to put the handkerchief in his sleeve.
Seeing this, Lu Qingrong hurriedly stepped forward and took back the handkerchief with his own hands, and his eyes signaled that Sun Yiming did not need to worry.
When Lu Qingrong turned around, Sun Yiming was behind her, while Qiu Muyun was looking down at her feet, so no one saw her putting the handkerchief in her sleeve and taking it out again.
Walking in front of Qiu Muyun, Lu Qingrong handed her the handkerchief: "This is still kept by Mrs. He herself, if she really goes to sue the official in the future, there must be a piece of evidence!" โ
"Don't dare!" Qiu Muyun hurriedly explained: "I was talking nonsense just now, Mrs. Shizi should not worry about me, this matter still has to be resolved by the two families after all, wouldn't it be a joke to go to the official mansion!" โ
Qiu Muyun's words were extremely humble, but he immediately reached out and took the handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms, and his movements were done in one go.
As if he was afraid that Lu Qingrong or Sun Yiming would regret it, Qiu Muyun didn't even say a word, so he left directly.
Looking at her wolf bรจi extremely extreme back, Lu Qingrong looked at Sun Yiming opposite with a strange face...... R1152
