Chapter 298: Not in vain (second watch)
Mother Liu didn't take Manlian and Master Lianbai in her eyes, Yu Manlian's hypocrisy let her see through it a few years ago, and Mrs. Lianbai has always been recognized by Mother Liu as just a fake "master" who chases fame and fortune and secretly collects wealth.
Many years ago, in order to help the queen investigate one thing, Mother Liu's people inadvertently discovered many dirty transactions in Qinglian Nunnery, but there is light and darkness in various fields, and Mother Liu thinks that she is not a great good person, so there is no need to expose it. And the transactions are on both sides, and those "other parties" fight in the nest of their own family members is also a common thing in the big family, and Mother Liu can't offend people for nothing.
However, if Master Lianbai dared to do anything to her sister, she would definitely ruin the old nun's reputation.
Mother Liu thought so, so she directly warned: "And that Lianbai Shitai, since you have a good relationship, you have to persuade her to practice Buddhism more attentively, lest there are many things that really can't be suppressed." ”
Yu Manlian was shocked, and even forgot the embarrassment, but she couldn't hide the shock and a trace of panic on her face at the moment. She intuitively felt that Mother Liu's words were not said casually, first, she didn't dare to underestimate Mother Liu, how many of them could become the master's henchmen in a place like the palace? Second, she knows too well the "secrets" of Qinglian Nunnery and Lianbai Shitai, and many times, she is still a behind-the-scenes military advisor.
Yu Manlian regretted it very much, she shouldn't have come today, she originally wanted to wait for the plan to be thorough before coming over, but she was confused by Murong Ziye in the morning, so she temporarily held back the trick of "giving Buddha beads to press blessings", thinking that although it was not perfect, it was safe, but who knew that it was a failure......
Yu Manlian is really scared, she and Qinglianan are grasshoppers tied to a rope. Mutually beneficial. If the Qinglian Nunnery is exposed to the sun. She'll be there soon. At this time, Yu Manlian didn't care about revenge, she was like someone choking her throat, just thinking about escaping, avoiding Mother Liu from afar.
She is intelligent and belligerent, but she is never good at fighting head-on. She had to go back and think about it, she didn't dare come near this place until she had a way to get rid of them all at once. She knew that people like Mother Liu disdained to talk about it. Knowing what she said and not revealing Qinglian Nunnery was just because it had nothing to do with her own interests, once Xia Shuyao was involved, she was only afraid of ......
Buddha blessed, just when she was almost at a loss, a little boy with pink makeup saved her.
Today is the rest day of Kyoto kindergarten, Bao'er went to the garden early in the morning to play with the little boy and the fire, and then took a bath and changed his clothes to find Shu Yao, Shu Yao said that he would take him to the street to play today, and choose a birthday gift for Princess Zhangzhu.
"Sister Yao'er, can we go?" Boa rushed in. The maid was too late to block, "Look at you." Bao'er has so much silver, can she take it all to buy gifts for Aunt Princess? Bao'er proudly showed off the small powder-blue purse in his hand, which contained the copper plate and broken silver he had saved.
Boa? Yu Manlian, who was hinting at Qingxin to take the opportunity to retreat, was overjoyed, and it didn't take any effort to catch the fish so quickly? It's not in vain today.
However, who is the "princess aunt"? Does this little broken child have anything to do with which princess? In that case, who is that Mo Niang, is it really the Yun Mo of the Yun family in the northwest?
Shu Yao took out a handkerchief and printed Yin Bao'er's forehead, and said angrily: "What are you doing running so fast?" I'm sweating again. Bao'er, wait a little longer, my sister has a guest. ”
Bao'er saw that there was a stranger in the house, and her little face was flushed and she hid behind Shu Yao. After going to school for a few days, and now there is a mother who teaches etiquette by her side, Bao'er knows that her behavior just now is "rude".
Yu Manlian smiled with a look of affection: "What a beautiful child, so cute." Who are you? Why are you here? ”
Bao'er replied obediently: "I'm Bao'er, this is Yao'er's sister's home, it's Bao'er's home, of course Bao'er is in this house." ”
Dead child, it's the same as not saying! Yu Manlian snorted coldly, but the smile on her face did not decrease at all: "Oh, your name is Bao'er, where are you from?" Where's your mom and dad? ”
Shu Yao's eyes shrank, sure enough, it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart, could it be that Zhen Fu revealed something? Or did something happen to my aunt Moniang on the road?
Bao'er was innocent: "I'm from far, far away, Daddy? The Queen Mother's grandmother and the princess's aunt said that my father and mother were very busy, and they could only come to see me after the New Year. ”
Xiao Bao'er is really not "fooling" Yu Manlian, she doesn't know what the name of the place where she lived with her first adoptive parents before, she can only say "far, far away". Then the "very busy" dad in his mouth refers to his biological father.
When she entered the palace for the second time, Zhilu Dao Bao'er knew very well that she was following her "mother" to the capital to find her biological father, and the emotional Queen Mother and Princess Zhangzhu didn't dare to tell him the truth just in case, so they comforted him with that sentence. After all, Bao'er is still too young, and it's not good if someone accidentally talks to her in the school or somewhere.
As for the "mother" who "went to see my uncle", it refers to Mo Niang. Little Bao'er has no relatives and mothers, the mother she is looking for is a mother, and the current mother (Mo Niang) is also a mother.
Shu Yao and Mother Liu know the logic of Lu Dao Bao'er's words, but how can Yu Manlian know Lu Dao? In her ears, it was Bao'er who had a father and mother, not "picked it up halfway" as Murong Ziye said, and then his father and mother went to see his mother's uncle. What's more, Bao'er has a "Queen Mother's grandmother and princess aunt", who is his father?
A five- or six-year-old child, with an innocent and proud face, can't pretend. If she Yu Manlian couldn't even recognize whether such a little broken child was telling the truth or reciting the lies taught by others, she would really live in vain.
Yu Manlian fully agreed with her father-in-law Murong Shangshu's words at this time, someone wanted to frame Murong Mansion and set a trap for Murong Ziye to jump.
That's it, it's not in vain today, at least it proves that the so-called "harboring exiles" is a trap, and recognizes the danger that Mother Liu may bring to her and Qinglian'an. She has to hurry up with Master Lianbai to clear all possible evidence, and then she will be "honest" in the near future.
If you don't leave now, how long will you stay? Yu Manlian hurriedly said: "Since you are going out, I will leave first, and there is nothing to do." It may be that we are thinking too much, but it is also a good intention, and you don't mind. Since you have a bracelet from Master Jingxuan, I will keep this string of Buddhist beads for myself. ”
Shu Yao smiled: "Mrs. Murong is polite, I understand in my heart, how can I mind such a trivial matter?" ”
Yu Manlian always felt that there was something in the words when she heard this, and she was really unhappy, but now was not the time to fight for words, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
At this time, a little maid came over to say: "Girl, grandma asked you to go over and talk to the guests." ”
Shu Yao was about to speak with an embarrassed face, but Yu Manlian hurriedly said, "You have something to do, don't send it." She really felt that it was safer to keep her distance from Liu's mother.
Shu Yao smiled: "Okay, my sister-in-law's guests were appointed to come a few days earlier, and it's not good for me to come." Lan Jin, you can send Mrs. Murong for me. ”
Lan Jin responded, "Yes, Mrs. Murong is here, please, the slave will send you out." After speaking, he walked to the front and led the way.
Yu Manlian breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Shu Yao would let Mother Liu send off the guests on her behalf.
A few steps out of the hall, Qingxin actually saw an acquaintance: "Dayong? Why are you here? ”
Dayong, who was standing under the plane tree and counting ants boringly, turned around and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Mancang, is that you?" The princess asked me to come and serve her sister-in-law's son, and my little master now lives in the Hou Mansion, and I will follow here. ”
"Oh, then you should be on an errand, I'll go first." Qingxin waved his hand to say goodbye, and just heard Bao'er calling behind him: "Da Yong, come here, there is your favorite chestnut cake." ”
Dayong hurriedly responded: "Sister-in-law Mancang go slowly, the little master called me, it's over." "Although the little master is young, he is very smart and sensible, and he can't treat him well, and he is not very happy to wait for a little baby at first, but now he loves Bao'er.
Lan Jin was in front, and Yu Manlian's master and servant didn't dare to discuss anything, until they got into the carriage from the Hou Mansion, and Qingxin hurriedly replied to the master with an inquiring face: "The Dayong brothers and Mancang (Qingxin's husband, the steward in Yu Manlian's dowry shop) were in the same person's hands when they were young, and the two brothers were bought by one person, and that person did not choose Mancang.
Later, Man Cang met Dayong's brother, only to learn that both of them were working as guards in Princess Zhangzhu's Mansion. Two months ago, on Mancang's birthday, he invited the two brothers over for a drink. However, the rules of the guards in the princess's mansion are strict, and one person drinks three glasses of wine, but he refuses to drink anything. ”
"Princess Palm Bead?" Yu Manlian was stunned, the favored but always low-key princess, Bao'er Niang is the sister-in-law of Princess Zhangzhu? No wonder Bao'er keeps saying "Queen Mother's grandmother, princess aunt"?
Yu Manlian was furious, that stupid Murong Ziye, if it wasn't for his father-in-law to stop him, he would have jumped into someone else's vicious trap.
That night, in Murong Mansion, Murong Shangshu picked up the teapot in his hand and smashed it in the direction where Murong Ziye was standing: "Exiled prisoner? A widow sneaking back from the Northwest? Yun Mo? You stupid thing, you believe what others say? Still buy it at a big price? Thou hast been sold, and thou hast counted the amount of money.
You say that the righteous sister of Princess Zhangzhu is an exile? The Marquis of Yongping harbored exiles? Why don't you go directly to the emperor and accuse the Queen Mother and Princess Zhangzhu of harboring exile? ”
Murong Ziye covered the forehead that was smashed and bleeding, and didn't dare to say a word. (To be continued......)
