Chapter 305: Father and Daughter Meet
Ningwangfu
"Master, just now there was news from Concubine Sun Fang of Prince Ying's Mansion, saying that Su Yuemei's woman is restless and wants to leak your handle."
Gonggong Hu walked to King Lao Ning's study and said.
Lao Ning Wang twisted his eyebrows and said, "How did she know?" ”
"Su Yuemei wants to marry Concubine Sun, so she wants to use your handle to change. But the person sent by Concubine Sun said that as long as the master doesn't forget them when you have a great career, she will not marry Su Yuemei, let alone ask for that handle. ”
Gonggong Hu passed the word to King Lao Ning as it was.
Lao Ning Wang sneered: "It's all a good calculation!" I want to know what kind of handle Su Yuemei has for me? By the way, what's been going on in the palace lately? ”
Gonggong Hu nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that the emperor has just removed Yu Rongxuan from his official position. I think Su Yuemei is afraid that her son's future will be affected, so she wants to find him a good in-law first. It's just that this abacus hit Concubine Sun Fangfei, and it was really wrong. ”
King Lao Ning thought for a while and said, "Is Qiufu coming soon?" ”
"Yes, master, do you want to deal with Su Yuemei's son when he is in the autumn and let him suffer?"
Gonggong Hu asked curiously.
Lao Ning Wang picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and handed them to Hu Gongdao: "I don't have to deal with this kind of milky kid myself, you give this to this year's invigilator, so that he can remember to pay special attention to Su Yuemei's son during the exam." ”
Gonggong Hu said hesitantly: "But Su Yuemei is Su Yushi's daughter-in-law, will this offend Su Yushi?" ”
"Hmph, this old puppet should come down after so many years of imperial history, otherwise when will the young man be the head."
Lao Ning Wang said with a smile.
Gonggong Hu asked in surprise: "Master, do you still want to step down from the throne?" I'm afraid this is difficult, Su Yushi used to be the emperor's mentor. ”
"You said that Su Yuemei, a woman who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out of the second door, how does she know about me? Isn't that old puppet of Su Yushi? For so many years, there are not a few people who have fallen into his hands. Originally, I wanted to use the power in his hands to move some disobedient people, but now it seems that he should be the most actionable person. Go ahead,"
Lao Ning Wang gritted his teeth and said.
Gonggong Hu nodded and said, "Yes, the old slave will go." ”
Coincidentally, as soon as Gonggong Hu left with his front foot, Murong Jianning walked in and said:
"Father, my son wants to go out."
After the first few incidents, King Lao Ning no longer trusted Murong Jianning. Every time Murong Jianning entered and exited Lao Ning, King Lao Ning sent someone to follow, for fear that he would do something that would damage the image of the palace.
King Lao Ning said unhappily: "What are you going out to do again?" Isn't it good to stay in the house? Is there anything that people can't do? ”
Murong Jianning lowered his head and pleaded: "I got the news that Xiao Yuelan has returned to Beijing, and now she lives in the Jade Mansion, I want to go and see." ”
"Are you trying to get people out? If that person is really Xiao Yuelan, do you think she will be willing to see you? ”
King Lao Ning looked at Murong Jianning like a fool.
Murong Jianning didn't care at all, and insisted: "No, everything that happened back then was done by Xiao Yuexin alone, and I didn't show up." Yuelan won't know. ”
King Ning said amusedly, "Oh? Then you still want to marry her? ”
Murong Jianning nodded and said, "Yes, when Yuelan died, she was disfigured, just imagine which man is willing to marry a disfigured woman?" If I offered to marry her again at this time, I don't think she would refuse me, not to mention that our marriage contract has always been there. ”
"Someone! Pull the little prince down for me and take strict care of it. No one is allowed to let him out without my orders! Violators are killed! ”
King Lao Ning shook his head helplessly and shouted loudly outside.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
At this time, four or five guards with strong martial arts walked in, and escorted Murong Jianning, who was struggling desperately, to leave.
"Father, you can't do this to me! Father! You let me see Yuelan again! ”
Murong Jianning pleaded.
Lao Ning Wang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
However, Xiao Xiang, who was anxious with Murong Jianning, was already standing at the door of the Jade Mansion at this time.
"Xiangye, who are you looking for?"
The guard standing at the door recognized Xiao Xiang at a glance and stepped forward to ask.
Xiao Xiang thought for a while and said, "I'm looking for Old Madam Yu." ”
"Please come with me."
The guard nodded and sent someone in to report, and he took Xiao Xiang to Songhe Courtyard.
When Mrs. Yu heard that Xiao Xiang was coming, she knew what he was here for, so she sent someone to find Xiao Yuelan, and quickly walked out to greet her, saying:
"Xiangye, what kind of wind is blowing today? How did I blow you. Come in, please come in. ”
Xiao Xiang nodded, followed Old Madam Yu in, sat down, and said bluntly:
"I'm ashamed, I heard that Yuelan has returned to Beijing and now lives in your mansion, so I came over to take a look."
Old Madam Yu was afraid that Xiang Ye would be embarrassed, so she said: "Don't worry, Xiang Ye, drink some tea first, I have already sent someone to call Yuelan." That girl has been close to Run'er since she was a child, so she wanted to accompany Run'er for a few more days after returning to Beijing, so she didn't return to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time. Don't blame her for coming in a minute. ”
Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly: "Naturally, I don't blame her, it doesn't matter if she wants to live here." I just haven't seen this kid for too long, and I'm very worried. ”
Old Madam Yu nodded and said, "It's like this when you're a parent. ”
"Grandmother, Sister Yuelan and I have come to see you."
Yu Run's voice interrupted the conversation between Old Madam Yu and Xiao Xiang.
Xiao Xiang was a little at a loss, neither sitting nor standing, and finally pretending to sit calmly, but his eyes still couldn't stop looking at the door.
Sure enough, a tall woman followed Yurun in, but strangely with a veil on her face.
This, this is Yuelan? Why the veil? Do you want to see me?
Xiao Xiang stood up unconsciously, feeling bitter in his heart.
"I've seen the old lady, I've seen the father."
Xiao Yuelan naturally saluted the two.
Old Madam Yu said with a smile: "Sit down, here are the pastries that Mama Yang just brought." ”
Xiao Yuelan nodded, ignoring the sluggish Xiao Xiang, and sat down with Yurun on the round table to eat pastries.
Xiao Xiang moved his feet painfully, walked up to Xiao Yuelan, and said:
"Yuelan, what's wrong with your face? Are you still not recovering? Don't be afraid, I'll find you the best doctor, no matter how much money you spend. ”
Xiao Yuelan smiled and said, "The best doctor is in Lingshan Academy, even if you don't invite it, Master will treat me." ”
"Yuelan, are you blaming me? I'm sorry, but I was really in pain after your accident. It's because it's not good for my father to protect you. ”
Xiao Xiang said reproachfully.
Xiao Yuelan raised her head, took off the veil, revealing the pitted scars, and said:
"It's all left behind, and I want the man who ruined my face to taste the same disfigurement, father, what do you think? Oh, by the way, I still want to take the same big knife and try to slash her a few times in the same position. I want to ask her if she hurts? ”
Xiao Xiang was frightened by the ugly scar on Xiao Yuelan's face and took a step back, and he was even more disgusted with Xiao Yuexin. He never expected Xiao Yuexin to be so cruel, not only killing Xiao Yuelan, but also ruining her appearance so completely. Xiao Xiang felt that his heart hurt so much that he could barely breathe, but he still wanted to try to bridge the gap between father and daughter.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Xiang softened his voice and said:
"Yuelan, I know you hate in your heart. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want in the future, as long as you're happy, you can do anything. I've ordered someone to clean up the Orchid Courtyard, and if you want to go back at any time, it's still the same as before. ”
Xiao Yuelan shook her head and said, "Even if things don't change, it's still the same, what about that person?" What about my maids? And what about my mother? They are gone, and the Lan Courtyard is no longer the Lan Courtyard it used to be. I'm not going back. ”
Xiao Xiang said patiently: "But you can't always live here." ”
Xiao Yuelan said expressionlessly: "I will return to Lingshan Academy after a while, and I will never return to the capital in the future." Everything here has nothing to do with me anymore. Don't come to me again, I'm not going back. ”
"Well, I'll come back to see you in a few days. You can use this money, don't be wronged. I'm leaving. ”
Xiao Xiang knew that Xiao Yuelan was still angry, and it was useless to say more, so he sighed bitterly, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table, and left.
Yurun picked up the silver ticket and counted it, and exclaimed: "Wow, Sister Yuelan, if Xiangye gives you so much every time he comes, you will be rich." ”
"Do you like it?"
Xiao Yuelan picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth and asked.
Yurun nodded and said, "Of course, who doesn't like money?" ”
"Then I'll give it to you."
Xiao Yuelan shrugged indifferently and said.
There was a black line on Yurun's head, and he stuffed the money into Xiao Yuelan's hand, and said:
"That's what your grandfather gave you, I don't want it. If you don't want it, take it out and spend it, just buy it. ”
Xiao Yuelan nodded and said, "Good idea, Ling'er is going to play with Pepe now, and we'll go out to have some fun." ”
"Really? Haven't you always been reluctant to go out? ”
Yurun asked uncertainly.
At this time, Old Madam Yu spoke: "Yuelan, I know that you have a stubborn temper since you were a child, but I still want to persuade you, no matter how much you hate Xiangye, in the final analysis, he is your father." How can father and daughter have an overnight feud. Even if the loyal and brave prince knows, he will persuade you like me. ”
Xiao Yuelan nodded and said, "What the old lady said is true, but it's still hard for me to accept it now." ”
Old Madam Yu sighed and said:
"Take your time, maybe one day you'll figure it out. The big family has always been just a superficial scenery, who can tell the bitterness inside? ”
"Thank you, old lady, for your enlightenment."
Xiao Yuelan said gratefully.
Old Madam Yu nodded, and said to Yurun: "Okay, Run'er, you can take Yuelan out for a walk, and take a break by the way." ”
"Okay, Sister Yuelan, let's go."
Yurun got the permission of Mrs. Yu and happily pulled Xiao Yuelan away.
After getting into the carriage, Yurun asked, "Sister Yuelan, you are no stranger to this capital, where do you want to go first?" ”
Xiao Yuelan rolled her eyes and said, "Rendetang, go pick up your four maids, and meet Wei Dong by the way." I told you before that he is the husband of your nurse, Mama Li, and has been taking care of your mother's property for you all these years, but you fool doesn't know anything. He also said that he was pitiful, I saw that you used to be in the midst of blessings and did not know blessings. Although your life is miserable, there are still many people who care about you and help you. ”
Yurun said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll never be impulsive again in the future, thank you for doing so much for me. I would have been hiding for so many things myself, thank you so much, Sister Yuelan, I don't know what to do without you. ”
"Silly girl, we're sisters."
Xiao Yuelan said with a smile.
