Chapter 14: Calculation I

Ling Xi took the sweat towel in her hand, looked left and right for a long time, this is the square handkerchief that she embroidered after several days and nights, she was a little annoyed, her embroidery is really not very good, those few orchids after the rain were embroidered by her a little messy, fortunately, it looks like that.

Ginkgo walked to Ling Xi's side with hurried steps and said, "Second Miss, the eldest young master is about to go out, don't look here, hurry up to the door, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Today is the day when Ye Muzhi goes out of the city, Ling Xi can't see him off, she can only let Ling Zhu secretly hand over this sweat towel to Ye Muzhi when Ling Zhu sees Ye Muzhi off, so that Ye Muzhi can have a thought in the border town, and of course, let Ye Muzhi understand his determination.

Ling Xi heard Ginkgo's words, she hurriedly got up in a panic, she didn't care about Miss Hou's demeanor, she almost trotted, so she hurried to the door of Hou's mansion, she hurried to the door of Hou's mansion, she rushed to Ling Zhu before Ling Zhu went out, and sent the sweat towel in her hand to Ling Zhu.

But as soon as Ling Xi walked into the garden, she was stopped by Ling Xiao's scolding.

"What for?"

She followed the sound and looked at the pavilion in the depths of the garden, only to find that Ling Xiao was drinking and admiring flowers in the pavilion with Leng Qiuye.

Ling Xiao was angry when he saw Ling Xi's uncultivated appearance like this, just now Ling Xiao was still angry about Jiang Zhennan's excuse to rectify military affairs and send him back to Yicheng, seeing Ling Xi's unseemly appearance, and thinking that Jiang Zhennan had the intention to embarrass himself, he unconsciously sprinkled his anger on Ling Xi.

"Do you still have the appearance of Miss Houfu, are the rules of Pingyuan Houfu gone?"

After Ling Xiao's roar, Ling Xi saw the angry Ling Xiao, so he had to walk quickly in front of him and stand there respectfully motionless.

"Some time ago, my brother said that he wanted to give me a calligraphy, but my brother was in Tai College, and I didn't have the opportunity to ask my brother for it, and today my brother rarely returned to the house, so I thought about looking for my brother to come to study and study, but just now I heard that my brother is going out again, I was a little anxious to go to the door of the Hou Mansion to find my brother, and I forgot the etiquette for a while, it's my fault, don't be angry." Ling Xi replied cautiously.

As soon as Ling Xiao heard Ling Xi talk about Ling Zhu, another anger ignited in his heart. Originally, he heard that the imperial court was going to use a group of children of the family to go to Xihua Border Town as a guard, and he planned to let Ling Zhu go, regardless of whether there was a war or not, after Ling Zhu returned to Yicheng, the future was unlimited, but Jiang Zhennan's son Jiang Yong went to the border town, but Jiang Shuangxue prevented Ling Zhu from joining the army on the grounds that Ling Zhu had not studied too much, and Ling Zhu's going to the battlefield was yellow. What kind of in-laws, he Anguo Houfu just wants to flatten the Yuanhou Mansion forever.

When it comes to the ability to lead troops into battle, he Ling Xiao is no worse than Jiang Zhennan, and after they are all heroes, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Anguo Marquis Mansion are also evenly matched. But after the Jiang family destroyed the Three Kingdoms in the south, this accumulated military exploits not only made the Jiang family get the attention of the first emperor, but even His Majesty and the Queen Mother also looked at the Jiang family differently. Now the southern military camp has long been Jiang Zhennan's world, and the deputy generals of all departments are also looking forward to Jiang Zhennan, if Nanxi Kingdom is destroyed by Jiang Zhennan again, the Jiang family's southern king will be just around the corner.

And Jiang Zhennan actually wanted to marry his daughter Jiang Xueqi to Ling Zhu a few days ago, although Ling Xiao didn't want to marry Jiang Zhennan, but he really had no reason to refuse this marriage, this Ling Zhu became Jiang Zhennan's son-in-law again, and he felt that he Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was going to make green leaves for Anguo Marquis Mansion for the rest of his life.

The more she thought about it, the more angry Ling Xiao became, she didn't pay attention to Ling Xi's explanation at all, and scolded her. Ling Xi didn't listen to a few words at all, her anxious heart wanted to rush to the door of the Hou Mansion immediately, but Ling Xiao was endlessly reprimanding her here, and she had no choice but to stand here quietly and let Ling Xiao scold. Inadvertently, she also twisted her head towards the garden exit, looking absent-minded. Ling Xiao was even more angry when he saw Ling Xi's appearance.

"Now you can't listen to my words, I guess you may not be able to listen to your mother's words, I'm afraid that in the future, only your cousin from the Marquis of Anguo Mansion will come to the Marquis of Pingyuan, and you can listen to her in peace, you are really a good niece of the Marquis of Anguo."

Ling Xiao said sourly, Leng Qiuye was a little confused, what does Ling Xiao mean by this? No matter how capable the Anguo Marquis Mansion is, the young lady of the Anguo Marquis Mansion can't take care of the affairs of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, why should Ling Xi listen to Jiang Mengqi's words?

"Hou Ye said no more jokes, and the slave family was confused. How could Miss Jiang Jiayan go to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to manage affairs. Leng Qiuye asked cautiously.

"When Jiang Mengqi marries into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, won't she be in charge."

After saying that, Ling Xiao left the garden with some indignation, Leng Qiuye was very surprised, for a while she was in a daze and did not follow Ling Xiao's steps, but soon she reacted and hurriedly chased out of the garden.

Ling Xi saw that Ling Xiao and Leng Qiuye had gone away, and hurriedly ran to the door of the Hou Mansion, but unfortunately when she arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, she could no longer see Ling Zhu's figure, she could only silently put away the sweat towel in her hand and walked towards Tingyu Zhai in a lost place.

....................................................................................................................................................

Ling Fu strode into the Yilan Courtyard, only to see Leng Qiuye sitting in the courtyard with a frown, Ling Fu's heart sank, Leng Qiuye was in such a hurry to find him, I was afraid that something was going to happen.

"Madam, what happened to you in such a hurry to come to me?" Ling Fu asked cautiously.

Leng Qiuye sighed helplessly, looked at Ling Fu, and said faintly: "Jiang Mengqi is going to marry Ling Zhu, and our good days in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion are coming to an end." ”

Although Leng Qiuye hated it so much, she could only look like a deflated ball now, looking helpless. Jiang Mengqi is not as good as Jiang Shuangxue, who can endure it, Jiang Shuangxue can't get used to her, and she will take into account the measurement of the lady of the main room, and will not embarrass Leng Qiuye everywhere, but Jiang Mengqi is different, this young lady of the Anguo Marquis Mansion is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she has embarrassed Ling Man a lot when she is outside, if she marries into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, no matter whether the title of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is Ling Zhu's or not, I am afraid that the comfortable days of their mothers will come to an end.

Besides, now the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is much more beautiful than the Marquis of Pingyuan's Mansion, even if Leng Qiuye makes it difficult for Jiang Mengqi, but if Jiang Mengqi goes to Ling Xiao to complain, Ling Xiao will look at the face of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and it is not good to always protect himself. The most important thing is that Ling Zhu married Jiang Mengqi, so his inheritance of the Marquis of Pingyuan will be even more certain, and there will be nothing about Ling Hua in the future.

"Madame shouldn't be depressed, as long as Jiang Mengqi doesn't marry into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion one day, this marriage can change." Ling Fu approached Leng Qiuye's side and whispered.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Leng Qiuye came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and Ling Fu's words were like a fierce medicine, which made Leng Qiuye immediately have hope.

"Madame can ask the Hou Ye to agree to the third lady to hold a banquet in the mansion and invite the ladies of the family in Yicheng, we can also give a post to the Jiang family, Jiang Mengqi will not come. When the time comes, he will poison Jiang Mengqi and disfigure her, according to Jiang Mengqi's unrelenting temperament, Jiang Zhennan will definitely come to Pingyuan Hou's Mansion to question, Hou Ye will definitely be dissatisfied, Hou Ye will have a great dislike with Jiang Zhennan, this marriage is not yellow, but also yellow, and maybe it can also make Hou Ye even more disgusted with his wife, killing two birds with one stone. ”

But even if Jiang Mengqi comes, she will go directly to listen to Yuzhai, she usually can't get used to Man'er, so she won't participate in Man'er's banquet. And listening to the rain and fast, there are people who are Jiang Shuangxue inside and out, and we don't know where to start. The most important thing is that if Jiang Mengqi has an accident in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and it is Man'er who invited her, we can't get rid of this matter, if Jiang Zhennan finds out that we are making trouble, we will be finished, and the Hou Ye will not be able to protect us. Leng Qiuye said disappointedly, she originally thought that Ling Fu would have some tricks, but it turned out to be this kind of poisoning method, not to mention that it was difficult for him to implement this idea, and her risk was too great to work at all.

"Madam, don't worry, you listen to the villain slowly tell you, the villain has a kind of poison, although it is not a deadly poison, but as long as it is stained on the skin, more than three hours, there is no cure, and the skin will fester. Even if it can be healed, it will leave an ugly scar. Madam, what do you think, if on the day of the banquet, the poison was quietly put on Jiang Mengqi's belongings, so that Jiang Mengqi would be poisoned silently, and when she was poisoned, it was estimated that she would have returned to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion. You must know that so many carriages of the young ladies of the family came in and out that day, and the Hou Mansion must have been very busy, even if Jiang Zhennan came to inquire afterwards, he would not be able to find any evidence, and the ladies of the various families would also complain, so this matter could only be stopped. ”

"But after all, it was Jiang Mengqi who was invited by Man'er, what if Jiang Zhennan insisted that we were the devils?" Leng Qiuye asked eagerly.

"Madam, as long as Jiang Mengqi has not come to the banquet of the third lady, she will not be able to rely on Yilan Courtyard. Even if Jiang Zhennan is suspicious of you, he has no evidence, if you cry aggrievedly in front of the Hou Ye a few times, the Hou Ye will naturally protect you, and the Hou Ye will also have a conflict with Jiang Zhennan, and the marriage between Jiang Mengqi and the eldest young master will not be yellow. ”

"But this poison is not good, don't be like last time, the poison didn't work, and you were beaten by others." Leng Qiuye said with some worry, it's not that she is too cautious, it's that Jiang Shuangxue is too careful, Ling Xi didn't calculate the last time she left the Hou Mansion, and this time she poisoned the Hou Mansion, she didn't know the bottom of her heart.

"Madame, don't worry, there will definitely be a lot of people in and out of the Hou Mansion that day, I will go to listen to Yuzhai transfer some people to the back kitchen to help, and when Jiang Mengqi comes to the Hou Mansion, I will find another opportunity to poison her, the villain will definitely do it quietly, and it will not affect Madame." Ling Fu said proudly.

"Okay, you do it carefully, I will be rewarded."
