146. Chapter 146
Ling Huquan rarely presides over the affairs of the Hou Mansion in front of everyone, but today he took the initiative to speak again and again, which shows that Ling Huquan has reached the point where he can't bear the second room.
Liu Caiyun knew that he was in danger, and sat on the ground in prostration.
Seeing this, Liu Mengliang stepped forward and defended, "Princess, although Caiyun accidentally injured the third lady of the Hou Mansion, Caiyun is the candidate for the crown princess appointed by the Queen Mother, even if she wants to deal with it, she has to give an explanation to the Queen Mother, isn't it?" β
Liu Mengliang is also very scared at the moment, his sister hurt someone in the Hou Mansion, how will he explain to his father after he goes back! He is Li Jingtian's godson, and Li Jingtian is the second lady's elder brother, so if Li Jingtian is angry with him because of this, the relationship between the Liu family and the Hou Mansion will be completely stiff! If this is the case, how will my father spare him?
Ling Huquan saw that Liu Mengliang was still using the Queen Mother to press himself at the moment, and smiled coldly,
"The concubines selected by the Empress Dowager must have both ability and political integrity! Just what Liu Caiyun said just now, which sentence echoes the criteria for the queen mother's selection of concubines? When the time comes, it will reach the ears of the Queen Mother, do you want to hold your Liu family accountable for how to train your daughter?! β
Liu Mengliang, who made Huquan say something, was speechless. Even the old lady who has always favored the second room is also silent at the moment, allowing Ling Huquan to speak.
The old lady seems to be calm at the moment, but in fact, her heart is already turbulent.
She just made a late move, so today, Zilu will have an accident! The injury on Ping Xue's face was just right, and Zilu suffered a blow that ruined her character, even if Liu Caiyun took the initiative to provoke, it was because of Linghu Full Moon!
This broom star! If she doesn't eradicate her, Zilu doesn't know who it will be the next moment! But now Linghu Hongxi and Linghu Quan are protecting Linghu Manyue everywhere, if the old lady wants to start, she must hit it with one blow, if Linghu Manyue is given the opportunity to fight back, it will be even more difficult to start again in the future!
Linghu Full Moon, a broom star, is scheming, and it is not easy to deal with at all!
Ling Hujie had nothing to say at this time, and Ling Huquan's maid witnessed the whole thing, and even the words he said were repeated word for word, making Hu Jie's face feel hot like a fever.
Liu Mengliang was also deflated at the moment, standing aside with a red face, letting Liu Caiyun cast a look at him for help, but he couldn't do anything.
Ling Hu Hongxi glanced at everyone, his eyes were always elegant and introverted, and it was difficult to hide his anger at this moment.
"Come on, send Liu Caiyun to the official for investigation! Today's events cannot be concealed from the Queen Mother, and must be reported truthfully! As soon as Linghu Hongxi's words came out, it was tantamount to pushing Liu Caiyun to a dead end.
But this is also Linghu Hongxi's only choice!
If this matter is concealed, Liu Caiyun is one of the six candidates appointed by the Empress Dowager after all, and the emperor will personally point out the marriage later, Liu Caiyun's matter must be known to the Empress Dowager, and this matter cannot be concealed.
ββ
Because of the chaos in the Hou Mansion, the next day, the whole of Kyoto blew up.
Although the crime against Liu Caiyun was accidental injury, a qiΔ seems to be a mistake, but there are different versions circulating among the people of Kyoto, some say that it is to make Hu Zilu jealous of Liu Caiyun becoming one of the six candidates, deliberately provoking him, Liu Caiyun was dissatisfied, and wanted to scare Ling Hu Zilu, but he made a mistake and blinded Ling Hu Zilu's eyes.
It is also said that Liu Caiyun was originally jealous of Linghu Pingxue and wanted to be unfavorable to Linghu Pingxue, but he missed and injured Linghu Zilu.
All kinds of rumors are bizarre and weird, but it is the name of the full moon that is almost missing.
ββ
Inside the Pujia Pavilion, Ning Jing and Ximeng told the full moon that they heard outside, and the full moon also felt a little strange.
"Miss, there are many rumors outside, and it's hard to tell if it's true or false, but why didn't you mention that you were there that day?" Ximeng asked curiously about the full moon.
Ning Jing whispered on the side, "It's not good not to mention it?" Save them from throwing any dirty water on the eldest lady. β
The full moon listened, closed her eyes, and did not express any opinion.
There are many rumors, but her name is missing. Isn't someone secretly helping her? The focus of the rumors is on Ling Hulu and Liu Caiyun, and her name is missing!
These rumors must have been spread by someone one step in advance, and the spread of them was far beyond the reach of ordinary forces.
Full Moon already has the answer in her heart, and she is just short of the final certainty.
ββ
At the same time, Qianyun Pavilion
Ling Hu Hongxi looked at the second lady sitting opposite, her eyes were red and swollen, and sighed unconsciously.
Ling Hu Zilu is also his daughter, how can Ling Hu Hongxi not be sad if he is like this. But if it weren't for the second lady's repeated connivance, how could it be today's situation? But now that the second lady is in her heart, it is difficult for Linghu Hongxi to continue to blame her.
The second lady wiped her tears, raised her eyes and carefully observed Ling Hu Hongxi's expression, and saw that the other party's face was also difficult to hide the sadness and pain, and the second lady's heart relaxed a little.
"Master, Zilu's injury has been controlled, and now she needs to recuperate with peace of mind, she has been with her every day by Ping Xue for a while now, a few days ago, many things were done wrong by the concubine, and the concubine was deeply ashamed, she had no face to see the master again, but the concubine was reluctant to meet the masterββ"
The more the second lady talked, the more sad she became, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Ling Hu Hongxi frowned, after so many years of husband and wife, he still knows how the second lady is a person. She has always been exquisite, and it is rare to be able to make her bow her head and apologize, maybe this is not from her heart, but just a stopgap measure.
Despite this, Linghu Hongxi still planned to give the second lady one last chance.
"That's it, you are Jie'er and Pingxue's mother after all, and you have been in charge of this family for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. In the past, I didn't have to worry about you, but in the future, you must treat the full moon as your own daughter, and you can no longer neglect and despise her in the slightest. β
Ling Hu Hongxi's tone softened, but the feeling it brought to the second lady was a warning and a threat.
The second lady knew that Ling Hu Hongxi was not generally disappointed and angry with the second room now, and the qiΔ that had been built up with great difficulty before was worthless when he saw that it was about to collapse.
"Don't worry, master, I understand." The second lady hurriedly expressed her heart, but in fact, her heart was full of hatred and unwillingness.
"Okay, it's okay, you can step back first, go back and take good care of Zilu." Ling Hu Hongxi waved his hand, his attitude cold and detached.
This is completely different from the previous attitude towards the second lady.
The second lady gritted her teeth, but there was a humble and gentle expression on her face.
"Then the concubine will retire first." The second lady lowered her head and walked towards the door, and just as she was about to walk to the door, the second lady paused, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Ling Hu Hongxi,
"Ah, sir, there's one more thing I forgot to ask you. It's that Zhao Yu'er - when will you take back to the Hou Mansion? The second lady seemed to have suddenly remembered, but in fact, from the first step into the Qianyun Pavilion today, the second lady had always calculated this one in her heart. It's just that Ling Hu Hongxi never mentioned it, and the second lady kept putting up with it, seeing that she was about to leave, and if she didn't mention it, she wouldn't have a chance.
Linghu Hongxi looked up at the second lady, and saw that her expression was calm, and he replied calmly,
"Let's wait for Zilu's matter to come to an end."
"That-in that case, the master has to appease Zhao Yu'er, don't let her misunderstand." The second lady pretended to be kind to remind Ling Hu Hongxi, but in fact, she wished that Zhao Yu'er would never come back for the rest of her life!
Linghu Hongxi snorted from his nose and said coldly,
"Yu'er is kind and cheerful, optimistic by nature, she will never worry about this little thing, if Mrs. can have Yu'er's temperament, I'm afraid there won't be so many things."
Linghu Hongxi's words were sarcastic, and he trusted Zhao Yuer 100%, but for the second lady, he was side-by-side warning and sarcastic.
The second lady's face changed slightly, and the muscles on her face shook unnaturally a few times, but her face looked like she would change if she made a mistake.
"The master is right, it's the concubine who talks too much, and the concubine retired first."
After finishing speaking, after the second lady turned around, the muscles on her face shook violently uncontrollably, and the jealousy and hatred in her eyes spread even more.
First there was a full moon of Linghu, and then there was a Zhao Yuer! Is it true that she, the second lady of the Hou Mansion, was slaughtered by others? Zhao Yuer wants to enter the Hou Mansion? Hum! Wait and see!
ββ
Early the next morning, before the second lady got up, she heard a noise outside the courtyard.
The second lady got up unhappily and scolded coldly, "Mother Lin, what's the matter?" β
Mother Lin trotted into the courtyard and said in a panic, "Second Mrs. Hui, Master Hou brought that Zhao Yu'er back, I heard that Zhao Yu'er was injured and is now in Qianyun Pavilion!" β
Mother Lin's words made the second lady's face change instantly.
"Why did she, a concubine with no name, go to Qianyun Pavilion? What hurts? The old man also said yesterday that he would settle her back home after breaking the day, she can't wait? β
The second lady's heart sank instantly.
Originally, I wanted to use Zilu's matter to delay for a while, and then say a few more words in the old lady's ear, and it would not be so easy for Zhao Yu'er to enter the Hou Mansion at that time, but who knows, yesterday Linghu Hongxi also said that he would not take Zhao Yu'er back to the house in a short time, and he will come today!
Who knows if the injury was planned by Zhao Yuer?
"Freshen up and dress me up and go to Qianyun Pavilion." The second lady hurriedly got out of bed, but Mother Lin was stunned and did not move.
"Are you deaf? What do you do standing still? The second lady was anxious and couldn't help but reprimand Mother Lin.
Mother Lin said embarrassedly, "Madam, the master just ordered that no one is allowed to approach Qianyun Pavilion, let alone anyone to visit. β
As soon as Mother Lin said this, the second lady's face was twice as ugly as before.
"What does it mean that no one is allowed to visit? Do you still suspect that it was the people in the second room who hurt that little slut! The second lady was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, and she overturned the table in front of her.
