Chapter 50: The Wind Rises (2)
Nan Shiyu said: "My sister may be in a hurry, I haven't seen the third sister." I remember that the third sister seemed to stand outside the house for a while when she came in. β
Nan Xinyue was shocked: "What? β
Nan Yingying actually stood outside the house for a while. Nan Xinyue's face was a little pale, I am afraid that the conversation between her and Nan Shiyu in the room that day was known to Nan Yingying, otherwise how could it be that she and Luo Qingyu were caught in the courtyard that night.
Nan Xinyue quietly recovered her complexion, trying not to let Nan Shiyu see the clues. Nan Xinyue had been puzzled since that night, and only she and Nan Shiyu knew about the events of that night, how could the good Chang Ru and Rong's mother pass.
I didn't expect it to be the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches. Nan Xinyue gritted her teeth, but she couldn't figure out why Nan Yingying wanted to plot against her like this. Nan Xinyue, as a concubine, was raised under Chang Ru's name, so she would not pose a threat to Nan Yingying, what happened to Nan Yingying.
Nan Shiyu looked at it with a smile on the side, and Nan Xinyue's face changes were all taken into Nan Shiyu's eyes. It turned out that she could still see Nan Xinyue's wonderful face performance, Nan Shiyu thought that her sister would only greet people with a smile.
Nan Xinyue suppressed the anger in her heart, and settled accounts with Nan Yingying in the future. Nan Xinyue didn't plan to have any conflict with Nan Yingying at the beginning, but she didn't expect that Nan Yingying herself would have trouble with her, if Nan Yingying hadn't secretly interfered that night, she could have gotten rid of a Nan Shiyu.
What's wrong with Nan Yingying, the more Nan Xinyue thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, isn't it good for her to help the entire East Courtyard get rid of a scourge by herself.
Nan Xinyue thought that Nan Yingying's matter had to be put aside, but now that Nan Shiyu had not been removed, she and Nan Chengye still had a useless plan.
Thinking of Nan Chengye, Nan Xinyue sighed again and again, this big brother of hers is afraid that he is useless.
Nan Xinyue said: "Sister, the Zhou family will hold a banquet in two days, will you go with me?" β
Nan Shiyu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, seeing Nan Xinyue's invitation, Nan Shiyu became vigilant. Nan Shiyu thought about it for a while, the Zhou family is a five-grade, and the head of the Zhou family is now too old to serve the imperial court, so he resigned and went home.
The court saw that he had worked hard for half his life, so he issued a holy decree to give him a mansion for retirement.
Nan Shiyu thought for a while, and calculated the days, the Zhou family, how could she forget about the Zhou family. It was also at this time, when she went to the Zhou family's dinner in her previous life, Nan Shiyu fell into a big pit designed by Nan Xinyue and Nan Chengye, which caused Nan Shiyu to be ruined that night.
Nan Shiyu squinted at Nan Xinyue, Nan Chengye had been solved by her in the temple, but she didn't expect it to be over here, could it be that the Zhou family's affairs were premeditated from the beginning.
Nan Shiyu is naturally not a fool, this kind of thing has always been something that can not be done.
Nan Shiyu shook her head and said: "Forget it, I don't know what happened since I came back from the temple, maybe I was scared that night, and I panicked at night." My sister just went with the family. β
didn't expect Nan Shiyu to reject herself, Nan Xinyue was a little unhappy. If this link is worse than Nan Shiyu, wouldn't that good show be in vain, Nan Xinyue and Nan Chengye have planned for so long, even if Nan Chengye is not in Nanfu at the moment, Nan Xinyue is not happy to see the plan fall through.
Nan Xinyue begged: "Oh, my good sister, you can accompany my sister." The third sister doesn't talk to me much, isn't it you who have the deepest relationship with me in our house? Besides, the night must have been so lively that you might forget about the night at the temple. β
Nan Xinyue showed a very happy smile, hoping to make Nan Shiyu change her mind, but she didn't know that she was very reluctant to do this in front of Nan Shiyu, and even disgusted in her heart.
It's a pity that in order to get Nan Shiyu to agree to go to the Zhou family's dinner, Nan Xinyue had to put down her body.
Nan Xinyue said: "Good sister, you can go." If you don't go, my sister won't be very lonely. β
Nan Shiyu looked at Nan Xinyue with such an expression, and couldn't help but get goosebumps. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. It seems that Nan Shiyu guessed well, even if Nan Chengye is gone, the idea between Nan Xinyue and him may not change.
Nan Shiyu clung to the tea handle, which seemed to have been planned by Nan Xinyue and Nan Chengye a long time ago. In order to deal with Nan Shiyu, they worked so hard. Nan Shiyu looked at Nan Xinyue begging so hard, and if she didn't agree, she was afraid that if she said it, Nan Shiyu would not give face.
But Nan Shiyu still thought of a reason to shirk.
Nan Shiyu said: "But...... The third aunt asked me not to go out of the house for a few days. β
Seeing that Nan Shiyu finally agreed, of course Nan Xinyue would not have this opportunity, seeing that Chang Ru did not let Nan Shiyu go out, Nan Xinyue did not have to worry. As long as Nan Shiyu agrees, Chang Ru's Nan Xinyue can think of ideas.
Nan Xinyue promised: "I don't have to worry about this, my sister can rest assured, and my mother will come forward to talk about it." β
Nan Xinyue's heart couldn't help but laugh at Nan Shiyu at this time, this sister of hers really lacked a little brain, so Nan Shiyu couldn't escape the Zhou family's dinner.
Seeing that she was done with her business, Nan Xinyue was also ready to leave, and if she stayed in this room with Nan Shiyu for a while, Nan Xinyue felt that her eyes were dirty.
Nan Xinyue said: "Since this is the case, then my sister will not disturb my sister." My sister should rest, my sister will leave first. β
After the two got up and saluted each other, Nan Xinyue fled out of the West Courtyard.
Seeing that Nan Xinyue hadn't gone far, Nan Shiyu glanced at the golden branch on the side.
Nan Shiyu said: "Go ahead, go around the road faster." Let her experience the feelings of gossip for a while. β
It turned out that Nan Shiyu also came prepared, and this trick was also prepared by Nan Shiyu for Nan Xinyue, who had already ordered the golden branch last night, and waited for Nan Xinyue to come to the door this morning.
I didn't expect things to be exactly what Nan Shiyu thought, after all, Nan Shiyu asked Jin Zhi to reveal such a major thing as Nan Chengye to Nan Xinyue, how could Nan Xinyue suppress her curiosity.
Nan Shiyu picked up the teacup and took a look, and found that there was a drowned ant inside.
Jin Zhi nodded and ran out, she was a little uneasy when Nan Shiyu told her about this last night, but when she thought of the style of the East Courtyard on weekdays, she felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.
Nan Xinyue didn't notice the golden branch that followed her behind her, and after a while, the golden branch entered a path and disappeared. Nan Xinyue's face was full of spring breeze at the moment, and she was very happy. Nan Shiyu is not only born better than her, but even Nan Shiyu's dowry in the future will be better than Nan Xinyue, as soon as she thinks of this, Nan Xinyue is so jealous that she wants to go crazy.
Why is the daughter of that stupid businesswoman more noble than her Nan Xinyue.
But it doesn't matter, Nan Xinyue showed a sinister smile, in two days, the businesswoman who is better than her everywhere will be discredited. Thinking of this, Nan Xinyue happily couldn't contain her expression.
Nan Xinyue was about to pass through an attic, which was the only place to go back to the East Courtyard, and there were a few maids cleaning among the flowers on the side, and those maids didn't notice that Nan Xinyue was passing by here. A few maids were whispering and discussing something in a whisper, and the sound of this discussion happened to reach Nan Xinyue's ears.
Nan Xinyue froze in place, she didn't expect it to be like this.
I only heard one of the maids say, "You guys, you came to the house late, I'm afraid you don't know." The eldest lady and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I'm afraid they have a personal relationship. β
The maid, who was younger than her, continued, "Yes, I have heard about it too. But isn't His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince the fiancΓ© of the second lady? How did he have an affair with the eldest lady? β
The other said: "Oh, how do we know if we are the next people, it is estimated that the eldest lady is unwilling, let's go, let's go, hurry up and clean up, don't chew too much tongue, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose my life one day." β
The other maids nodded their heads in agreement with what the maid said, and they all hurriedly dispersed.
Nan Xinyue hid to the side and listened, her face changed drastically, when did these mindless rumors spread in Nanfu! Nan Xinyue clenched the fan in her hand, if she had a personal relationship with the fourth prince, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do with Nan Shiyu and Nan Yingying.
Unfortunately, a few of the maids who had just dispersed were still discussing in this area, and most of these things in the house were spread like this.
"You don't know, do you? I'm afraid that the eldest lady is just to pave the way for the third lady, and the third grandmother is afraid that she will not allow a concubine to marry the prince as a concubine, right? β
Another maid hurriedly spoke: "Oh, that's for sure, since ancient times, the concubine of which prince is a concubine." I'll tell you something more interesting, it is said that the third lady heard the conversation between the eldest lady and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and said that the eldest lady was not clean for a long time. β
The other maids hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered: "The eldest lady has long been unclean, and those of us who are subordinates know it, I'm afraid the house knows about it, but we don't dare to say it clearly." β
A few maids saw that it was not good and then went on, so they patted each other on the shoulder and went to do their own things.
Nan Xinyue came out from the side at this time, she hid in the shadows, her face was gloomy, and her eyes were about to emit sparks.
Nan Xinyue muttered in a low voice, "Who made my rumors in the mansion...... When I find out, I can't spare him! Nan Xinyue was sweating all over, and at the moment, I don't know if Chang Ru knows about this rumor.
If Chang Ru knew about this rumor, I am afraid she would not let her go easily. On that day, Tian Yuxiong came to pay tribute to the Zhao family, and Nan Yingying showed an interest in Tian Yuxiong, and Tian Yuxiong was even more interested in Nan Yingying...... Nan Xinyue didn't dare to think about it anymore, Chang Ru probably knew Nan Yingying's intentions.
Nan Xinyue broke out in a cold sweat and gritted her teeth. Originally, Chang Ru's attitude towards her was much colder after Luo Qingyu's incident, and if something happened now, she would be treated as an outcast, and when the time came, she would not say that she had a personal affair with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, but she was afraid that Chang Ru would give her to a farmer and send her away at will.
Nan Xinyue said: "I'm really angry, when I find out that nonsense, I will definitely have someone cut out his tongue!" β
Nan Xinyue said that, and threw her sleeves away angrily.
When Nan Xinyue walked away, Jin Zhi appeared out of nowhere and beckoned to the maids not far away. Seeing this, the maids stepped forward one after another to surround the golden branch.
Those maids said happily: "Sister Jinzhi, we all did what you said, is there really a reward?" β
No one would have thought that the so-called rumors were actually spread temporarily by Jin Zhi on his orders. Jin Zhi deliberately waited for her at the place where Nan Xinyue had to go back to the East Courtyard.
Jin Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, everyone." Then he took out a bag of silver and divided it among the maids.
The maids were also sensible, and when they took the money, they quickly thanked the golden branches, and then went to work. The things that should be paid attention to, Jin Zhi explained at the beginning, after all, chewing the root of the tongue at will in Nanfu is to lose his life.
Jin Zhi finished the errand assigned by Nan Shiyu, and also turned around and went back to the West Courtyard to recover his life.
