Chapter 36: The Rise Again (1)
The prefect's wife looked at Nan Shiyu's well-behaved appearance, and said with some curiosity: "You are not as rude as rumored, it seems that it is better to see than to hear." The rumors are wrong. β
Nan Shiyu smiled, she understood why her reputation was so bad outside.
It's nothing more than the credit of the three people in the East Courtyard. Nan Shiyu sighed lightly, the three of them were all unconscious, there was an aunt who had been eyeing her grandfather's wealth, a sister who was concerned about her fiancΓ©, and even an older brother who looked down on her.
What's going on?
Nan Shiyu said: "Madam is an understanding person, unlike others who believe rumors at will. β
Mrs. Prefect: "Ouch, look at what you said. I've always hated people chewing on the root of my tongue behind me, I'm very strict, and my concubines are afraid, but I also have a good relationship with me. As long as they don't do anything, I have always been forgiving. β
Nan Shiyu nodded: "Madam is right." "This is worthy of the appearance of a housewife, Nan Shiyu shook her head, her third aunt should learn more, don't make things difficult for her niece and subordinates all day long.
After a while, after praying with the prefect's wife, Nan Shiyu carried her tired body back to the temple room. Walking on the mountain road today, I am really tired.
As everyone knows, the things she talked about with the prefect's wife with laughter and laughter were all seen by Yuan Yuyan. Yuan Yuyan was troubled by Nan Shiyu once, she had never been so angry at home.
What's more, it was Yuan Yuyan who bullied Nan Shiyu on weekdays, but now it's the other way around, how can she be willing. Yuan Yuyan was so angry that she trembled all over her body and hid behind the pillar.
Yuan Yuyan tugged at the slave's ear and said, "You! Go and call that Nan Shiyu out and let her make amends to me! Otherwise, I will go to the prefect's wife to expose her cheap appearance. As he spoke, he smiled grimly.
The slave was taken aback, said yes again and again, and hurriedly turned around to find Nan Shiyu.
Nan Shiyu was resting in the room, and she saw a maid looking around and didn't know what she was looking at, and then saw Yuan Yuyan outside the window who was so angry that she was smoking, Nan Shiyu felt funny.
Nan Shiyu was about to get up and go out to see what Yuan Yuyan was doing again, when Willow came in.
Willow respectfully greeted Nan Shiyu: "Second Miss Ann." The second lady still didn't go out well, and her subordinates learned that the third lady had bought off the robbers nearby, and it was very likely that she would take the young lady's life tonight. I'm afraid tonight, it won't be too peaceful. β
and...... The eldest prince also came. Willow paused for a moment before speaking.
Nan Shiyu and Jin Zhi were stunned for a moment, they were beaten not long ago, and Tian Yuxiong ordered that he didn't have to leave the house, isn't this a protest.
Jin Zhi frowned and said dissatisfied: "This eldest prince, just based on the matter of Yuye, this person must be a ......" Realizing that he shouldn't talk about the master behind his back, Jin Zhi hurriedly changed his words, "But the eldest prince's injury is healed, and he actually went out." β
Nan Shiyu watched Jin Zhi quickly change her words, and was very satisfied. These days, Jin Zhi should also grow, if it was the unobstructed girl before, she dared to say anything, but she lacked some guts.
Nan Shiyu thought about it, Chang Ru and Nan Chengye went out together, if they continue to live in this house tonight, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. At this time, Nan Shiyu looked at Yuan Yuyan outside the window again.
Yuan Yuyan worships high and low, and has always had a very bad attitude towards the subordinates in the house, and it is estimated that few subordinates will really like such a master.
Nan Shiyu moved her mind, this person is so dog-eyed and looks down on people, it is better to fulfill her and let her marry a high-ranking family. At least the current status of Nanfu, for the Yuan family, is considered a high gate.
Nan Shiyu: "Willow, in this way, you go to the host again and arrange the house where you will stay tonight." β
Willow nodded and stepped out.
Jin Zhi pouted, his face full of displeasure. At this moment, the house is one of the best in the whole temple, with good lighting and ventilation. If there were no Chang Ru and Nan Chengye, Nan Shiyu would not have changed this house.
Jin Zhi said unhappily: "Miss, this is too unfair. Although we were well prepared that night, we didn't take the initiative to harm them. It's not that they did it first, otherwise all those preparations were just in vain. β
"It's good now, it's clear that they provoked the trouble first, and now they want to harm us in turn. Actually bribed the robbers to take people's lives. Jin Zhi has never been so disappointed in Chang Ru, after all, it is the Nan family who holds the housekeeper's key, and he should be tolerant and generous, and know how to distinguish between right and wrong.
Helping one's children like this, and teaching them to harm others, has he become a villain on the outside? Jin Zhi thought indignantly.
Nan Shiyu looked out the window, continued to look at Yuan Yuyan, who was so angry, and then looked at the appearance of Jin Zhi, it was really different. Nan Shiyu did not deny Jin Zhi's words, after all, what Jin Zhi said was indeed reasonable, it was obvious that others were the first to provoke trouble, they were just to protect themselves, who knew that they would die without repentance afterwards, and they actually came to stir up trouble.
Nan Shiyu lowered her eyes, which was probably the reason why Zhao passed away early. Her mother, Zhao, was too kind to adapt to the dire life in Nanfu at all, and always thought that kindness could be rewarded.
However, it wasn't until she passed away, until Nan Shiyu died tragically in her previous life, that Nan Shiyu understood, what is the return? Talking about rewards with the wicked is simply blinded by lard.
Nan Shiyu: "Yes, sometimes, some people are just so unreasonable. After Nan Shiyu finished speaking, she quickly raised her head and looked at Jin Zhi seriously, "Therefore, this world is the law of the jungle." This is true of the world, and so is Nanfu. Only the strong can not be bullied, do you understand? β
Jin Zhi looked at Nan Shiyu in a daze, she understood, but she didn't want to admit it.
Nan Shiyu: "That's it, I'll explain a few more things to you." "Say that, and attach it to the ear of the golden branch.
The slave didn't find Nan Shiyu outside, and she didn't dare to break into the house of the Gaomen's disciple easily, so she went back to her life with some fear: "I didn't find the second lady of Nanfu." β
Yuan Yuyan slammed the teacup and scolded: "Waste, you can't find anyone to find, what do you say I will raise you for?" Raise you to eat white rice! β
The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground, she knew that Yuan Yuyan was mad, if she couldn't get useful information at this moment, I was afraid that if she returned to Yuan's mansion in the future, she would be dragged out and sold.
"Miss, stop your anger! Although the slave maid did not find the second lady of Nanfu, the slave maid heard a message. The servant fell to her knees and trembled, fearing that if she accidentally said the wrong thing, she would die.
Yuan Yuyan calmed down a little at this time, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, his face was full of contempt, and he said with some disdain: "What news?" β
The maid trembled and said, "Miss, the third lady of Nanfu has bought off the robbers, and she will get rid of the second lady tonight." β
Yuan Yuyan's eyes widened after hearing this, and she suspected that something was wrong with her own ears. No matter how you say it, Nan Shiyu is also the second lady of Nanfu, her father is a minister of the imperial court, and the person in charge is so bold.
Yuan Yuyan laughed out loud, God really helped her! She really has a heart with Chang Ru, since this is the case, why not take advantage of Chang Ru's east wind, no one has doubted her head. Today's incident made Yuan Yuyan murderous towards Nan Shiyu.
The corners of Yuan Yuyan's mouth slowly hooked, this is a good opportunity to kill people with a knife.
Yuan Yuyan ordered: "I remember that there is a martial arts hall dart bureau nearby, you go and call the steward." Let's just say that we have money and tasks for them. β
In a moment, the servant quietly brought from behind a woman dressed in black, whose face was covered with a veil, and who she did not recognize at all.
After the woman entered the house, she didn't salute Yuan Yuyan like everyone else, leaned aside with her sword, and said a little lazily: "What does this girl command?" Let's start with it, we can only do murder business......"
Yuan Yuyan supported the maids, leaned back on the chair and said, "Miss Ben understands your business rules, don't talk nonsense!" Tonight, I will say to your employer, I will not go home, but live in this temple, and you will protect my personal safety. As for how to do it, you should be clear. β
Yuan Yuyan raised her head and motioned with her chin to the woman in black to look at the well-lit room.
It's really unpleasant to look like this. The woman in black squinted, and if it weren't for the fact that she was a young lady who didn't know the facts, she would have drawn her knife and slashed the man's chin.
The woman in black looked over and already understood what Yuan Yuyan meant.
"What about the pay?" The woman said.
Yuan Yuyan: "I won't give you less, you remember, you have to bring a group of villains with the best skills, Miss Ben's daughter's body, and she can't tolerate the slightest mistake." β
After hearing this, the woman in black casually left the house, very arrogant. The temper of the people in the rivers and lakes has always been like this.
Yuan Yuyan looked at the woman in black who didn't take her seriously at all, and became even more angry. thought that she was not a person in the rivers and lakes, but it was just a relationship of interests, so why bother to break her body for such an irrelevant popularity.
Thinking like this, Yuan Yuyan felt a little more comfortable. Thinking that tonight, Nan Shiyu was going to die here because of an accident, Yuan Yuyan couldn't help laughing.
What if my father is a minister of the court? It's not the same to be defeated by her Yuan Yuyan's men!
Nan Chengye and his entourage have arrived at the temple, and deliberately chose a road with few people to enter the temple, so that they can hide from Nan Shiyu and others, and it is not easy to be noticed. Otherwise, when this family goes out, someone will definitely inform Nan Shiyu's family that someone is coming.
Nan Chengye dotted in the master's room and said, "Master, our group is going to stay here tonight, but my sister is walking faster than us." I wonder if the master can make it easier for me to arrange my room closer to my sister so that it can be taken care of. β
Before the master could speak, Lamei stepped forward and stuffed a bulging bag into the master very well: "Master, it's troublesome." β
The master took the bulging bag, but smiled and said nothing. The affairs in this house are not something that he can manage as a monk, but he just wants a house to stay in, so why is it difficult?
The master pushed out the room of Nan Chengye and the others, and walked to the back door, he also promised the others today, he was really busy.
At the back door, Liu Shu stood there with his hat leaning against his master, and the master stepped forward and said, "This benefactor, I have already arranged Nan Gongzi's house according to your wishes, I don't know what else to order?" β
Liu Shu took out a bag from his bosom and handed it to the master: "This mosquito coil, the master needs to light it in advance tonight." β
The master accepted the sachet and said goodbye to the willow tree with both hands.
The willow tree walked towards Nan Shiyu's room, and soon saw the golden branch on the road that was also doing things for Nan Shiyu.
Willow gestured to the golden branch, indicating that his business had been taken care of. As a man, it is inconvenient for him to enter the room of a female master many times, so let the maidservant go.
Jin Zhi nodded and walked back to Nan Shiyu's room.
Jin Zhi: "Miss, the matter on the eldest son's side has been arranged." β
Nan Shiyu nodded, she was going to watch a good show tonight, and she only hoped that the group of people who tried to frame her would not disappoint her too much. Nan Shiyu picked up the teacup, the tea was unique to the temple, and a strong fragrance of tea rushed into her nose.
Nan Shiyu: "This fragrance is good. When you go back, ask the host for more. β
Since Yuan Yuyan dealt with the martial arts hall, the woman in black left to remedy, and a group of Jianghu people with strong martial arts appeared near Yuan Yuyan's house.
As everyone knows, among this group of people, there are also people who have received Changru's silver and want to kill Nan Shiyu.
Yuan Yuyan: "I can tell you, tonight I will go to the best room opposite." You've all taken a good look at me. Now there is a cheap maid living opposite, if you can't get rid of her tonight, I don't think you will go to any rivers and lakes in the future! Just go out and sell meat! β
Listening to Yuan Yuyan's tone, some of the people in the rivers and lakes were angry, and they held their swords tightly. If it weren't for the fact that the woman in front of them was their employer, they would have quickly taken her head with their swords.
Seeing that Jin Zhi was a little nervous and kept looking outside, Nan Shiyu knew that it was difficult to make Jin Zhi accept these facts in a short period of time, and Nan Shiyu knew that she couldn't be in a hurry.
Nan Shiyu comforted: "Jin Zhi, don't look at it." Don't worry, it's easy for people to see your mind, don't worry. β
After thinking about it, Nan Shiyu called Willow in again: "Willow, in this way, change the plan." β
Tonight was a good day to admire the moon, with a full moon hanging in the cloudless sky and a few shining stars beside it.
Nan Shiyu was lying on the windowsill admiring the moon, but unfortunately, such a good night was about to be broken.
As Nan Shiyu expected, this night was extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that you could hear her and Jin Zhi's nervous breathing. After a while, Nan Shiyu caught a glimpse of a figure appearing in front of the room next to her.
Somehow, Nan Shiyu listened carefully, and after a while, a man's wheezing sound came from the room! Nan Shiyu clenched her fists.
"Ahh Without waiting for Nan Shiyu and Jin Zhi to react, a spiked girl pierced this rare tranquility.
Nan Shiyu immediately stood up, and Jin Zhi nervously leaned directly on Nan Shiyu's side.
The movement outside began to grow louder and louder, and the temple, which had been quiet and dark, was lit with candles. Jin Zhi hurriedly lit the lamp so that the room would not be so dark.
The next room began to hear the chaotic screams of a woman, mixed with fear. Nan Shiyu lowered her eyes, it was that person who first had the intention of harming people, and she couldn't be blamed.
I don't know if I want to start the fire while it's hot, although the golden branch lit the candle, but in the end it is limited, and I can only see the place near Nan Shiyu.
Jin Zhi clearly saw that outside Nan Shiyu's window, several silver knives emitted a cold glow in the moonlight, and climbed over the wall into the temple.
