Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lack of People's Hearts
Rong Ruizhang looked at Wei Susu's back as he disappeared into the rain, raised his hand and directly swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground.
Aunt Jiang came in and looked at the debris all over the ground, and hurriedly took medicine and a handkerchief to carefully treat the wound on his hand that was punctured by the debris, and then heard Rong Ruizhang say angrily: "A slut, who does she think she is, and she dares to threaten me?" ”
"The concubine will prepare some tea for Xiangye."
Aunt Jiang said gently.
Rong Ruizhang looked at her, gentle and lovely, never talked nonsense, and would not bother him. And the people who have been staring at her have not found anything abnormal about her, she is indeed sincere to herself.
Women should be like this, if Wei Qingqing can also ......
Rong Ruizhang quickly put aside the thoughts in his mind, asked Aunt Jiang to prepare tea, and quickly called his henchmen; "What has Fang Zijiao been doing lately?"
"I don't know, since Miss Zhang's death, Master Fang has never gone out in the mansion, and the eldest lady seems to have settled down a lot recently." The little guy said.
"If he really goes along with Zhang Jiao, maybe Zhang Jiao is already dead."
Rong Ruizhang pondered for a moment, thought of something, and looked at the little guy; "Quietly send a few jars of good wine to the Prince's Mansion in the name of the Wei Mansion."
Four Seasons Brewing is an industry under the name of the Wei family, and it is now a well-known thing.
But no one dares to stir up trouble, after all, the Guogong Mansion is currently full of saints, and no one will get along with the Guogong Mansion, but among these people, Rong Ruizhang thought, definitely does not include the prince.
Heavy rain was pouring down.
Rong Ruizhang was also waiting slowly. Waiting for the time to come, waiting for the emperor to die violently, waiting for the four princes to ascend the throne smoothly......
When the time comes, he will definitely make Wei Qingqing cry and kneel in front of him to admit his mistakes, and let her beg him to come back to his side!
Wei Qingqing looked at the heavy rain outside at the moment, listening to Liu Quanfu, who came overnight, replying to the previous arrangements, leisurely flipping through the thicker and thicker account books, just waiting for the dawn.
Heavy rain is pouring down.
Yang Daxian has been injured. Looking at his beloved Xiaocui, who had died beside him, and then at the assassin who was approaching step by step with a bloody sword, his eyes were split: "Rong Ruizhang sent you, right?" You tell him, even if I die, I will become a ghost, and I will never let go of this traitorous villain! ”
The assassin raised his sword, and with a flash of coldness, the man fell to the ground.
Yang Daxian was ready to die, and when he heard this bang, he was slightly stunned, and when he opened his eyes to see the assassin who actually fell in front of him, he looked up, and then he saw the tall man who broke through the door.
"Who are you?"
"Do you believe me when I said passing?" Guo Qing asked him.
Yang Daxian naturally didn't believe it.
Guo Qing smiled coldly: "I was ordered by someone to save you." ”
"Who is it?"
"Then you don't have to know, you just need to know that it's someone who hates Rong Ruizhang as much as you do." After Guo Qing finished speaking, he saw Yang Daxian's eyes that were eager to eat Rong Ruizhang's flesh and blood, and raised his chin at him: "Let's go, I'll send you to the Four Princes' Mansion." There were still people in ambush outside. ”
Yang Daxian reluctantly looked at Xiao Cui who fell beside him, wiped his tears, turned around and grabbed the sword on the ground, and stabbed the dead assassin a few more times before he grabbed the sword and came out with Guo Qing.
The two came out, and sure enough, there were still people who wanted to come forward to assassinate them, but Guo Qing fought a little hard and was almost injured.
Yang Daxian silently followed him and fled all the way to the Four Princes' Mansion, and just as Guo Qing was about to leave, Yang Daxian, who was silent and stabbed Guo Qing into Guo Qing's body with a sword.
Guo Qing looked at him in astonishment, and Yang Daxian only said gloomily: "I'm sorry, I won't trust anyone now, your master saved me, it must not be all kindness, I take your life, even if I owe your master, I will return it to him in the future!" With that, he just let go of his hand and left.
Guo Qing staggered back a few steps, and saw that Yang Daxian had entered the Four Princes to call someone, and then he pulled out Yang Daxian's sword.
Not a drop of blood on it was stained with him, because this was the fake sword that he had already listened to Wei Qingqing's orders and quietly replaced the retractable fake sword that could kill the undead while taking advantage of the dark night and when Yang Daxian was nervous.
"What a ruthless old boy, fortunately Lao Tzu is smart, otherwise he would have been stabbed by your dog."
Guo Qing scolded a few words, and saw that someone in the Four Princes' Mansion was already going to come out to 'collect the corpse' for him, so he quickly sneaked into the night and left.
When Guo Qing returned to Wei Qingqing's Wanqiu Courtyard with a stomach full of resentment, he was directly dragged to the small kitchen by Lan Sheng.
The small kitchen was steaming hot at the moment, and the rain outside was already a little cool, but the smell of food was everywhere.
The hot soup was boiling in the stove on the high legs, Liu Quanfu and the pothos Lan Zhi girls were smiling and holding chopsticks to the stove to eat, and Lan Sheng and the cooks brought several plates of delicate dishes up.
"Pothos, get a bowl of rice for Guo Daxia."
Lan Sheng is natural.
Pothos smiled and hurriedly went to get the rice.
Lan Sheng saw that Guo Qing hadn't reacted yet, and explained with a smile: "Miss said, everyone has worked hard, and it's rare to be free today, so they gathered together for a meal." ”
Guo Qing glanced at the pothos beside him, who didn't know anything, coughed, and nodded.
Liu Quanfu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Guo Qing's unnaturalness at a glance, and said to Lan Zhi with a smile: "If you have anything delicious here, bring it up." ”
"Shopkeeper Liu is really greedy, don't eat for a while, you can't go back." Lan Zhi laughed at him.
"That's not it, I really can't eat it, isn't there still Guo Daxia, he's working hard today." Liu Quanfu said.
The pothos was puzzled, and looked at Guo Qing curiously, Guo Qing naturally didn't dare to say those things about fighting and killing, so he just talked nonsense, and heard the pothos nodding again and again.
Lan Sheng looked at Guo Qing and knew the measure. Only then did he turn his head and talk back to Wei Qingqing.
"Looks like it's going well." Wei Qingqing smiled crookedly on the side of the warm couch.
"Whether it goes well or not, Guo Daxia will definitely have no complaints this time." Lan Sheng smiled and lit an extra candle for Wei Qingqing: "And the slave maid is not unintentional to Guo Daxia when she sees the green pothos, it just so happens that she has never been married, and she has no sweetheart, Guo Daxia is also alone, but it is just right." ”
Wei Qingqing smiled silently, if they can succeed in themselves, it is a good thing, if they can't do it, then it is fate.
Wei Qingqing glanced at the hourglass on the side, the hour was almost up, and the people of the Ma family should also enter the Four Princes' Mansion at this time.
In the palace of the Four Princes.
Tonight is a headache for the four princes.
Looking at the pitiful Yang Daxian, the fourth prince persuaded: "Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, if Rong Ruizhang really wants to kill you, I will not sit idly by." ”
"The little one doesn't want revenge, but Rong Ruizhang is too ruthless, and the little one is really worried that he suddenly came to support Your Highness, with ulterior motives!" Yang Daxian cried.
"But Rong Xiang said that I am ......" The fourth prince didn't dare to say the latter words, but only snorted: "Don't worry, I won't trust him completely, you are my confidant." ”
As soon as Yang Daxian heard it, he knew that the four princes were still indecisive, and he refused to fully believe that Rong Ruizhang had bad intentions, let alone stand up for himself.
As he was talking, news came from outside, saying that the head of the Ma family asked to see the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was a little impatient, he didn't want to have so much trouble, but he couldn't see it. The Ma family is his private money bag, although it is not as generous as Rong Ruizhang taking 100,000 taels, but it will eventually return some.
Let the Ma family come in, before the four princes could ask, the head of the Ma family knelt directly on the ground: "Your Highness, there is an accident in Chuzhou, I don't know who is secretly obstructing, and there is false news of instability within the Ma family, the shopkeepers over there in Chuzhou are already their own masters, as soon as they heard the news, they immediately fought, and now all the silk looms in Chuzhou have been smashed, a full 3,000 units!" ”
"What?"
The fourth prince immediately stood up in shock.
The head of the Ma family looked at him in embarrassment, and continued: "It's not just that, because we suddenly received a large order last month, and now it seems that we can't deliver it, and we can't deliver it on time, as usual, we have to compensate three times the market price." ”
Yang Daxian immediately asked: "The one who suddenly placed an order last month was a regular customer?" ”
"It's not." The head of the Ma family looked at the four princes, gritted his teeth, and said: "It was the brother-in-law Fang Zijiao who came to place the order, and this matter was only found out after the recent accident in Chuzhou." ”
"It's Rong Ruizhang again." Yang Daxian sneered: "He is planning to cut off His Highness's money bag, so that His Highness has to attach himself to him." He's so scheming. Is it planning to do something, is it planned to help His Highness ascend to the throne and use His Highness as a puppet? ”
"Bastard!"
The fourth prince was suddenly furious, he could tolerate Rong Ruizhang's calculations, but how could he become a puppet when he was a dignified son, when he was trembling angrily, he pointed at Yang Daxian and the Ma family, and said: "Tell me to go down, you don't have to ask Rong Ruizhang to come to see me!" ”
Yang Daxian immediately responded.
But these are not enough, his little cui can't die in vain.
When he went down to rest, Yang Daxian heard someone in the corner of the window talking about something in a low voice.
"Really? That good-looking Aunt Wen is hiding in the capital? ”
"Yes, I was startled when I saw it, and then I saw that not only this Aunt Wen, but also a nest of poor relatives of the Wen family came, saying that they asked Rong Xiang to arrange a rich and idle errand for them, and Aunt Wen still wanted to coax them back, it took a long time."
“……”
Yang Daxian listened for a while. Take care of it.
When Rong Che came back the next day, he saw Wei Qingqing, who had fallen asleep when he stepped on it, and wanted to step forward and carry her to the bed, but Wei Qingqing had already woken up.
Wei Qingqing felt the moisture on his body and sobered up a little: "I'll let someone fetch hot water to wash my master first." ”
"There's no hurry."
Rong Che looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile: "I heard about the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are not small. ”
Wei Qingqing looked at him, thinking that he would be as vicious as Rong Ruizhang, but he didn't expect Rong Che to look at her like an old fox and said, "If you tell me these plans, I may be able to help, and you won't stay up all night waiting for news." ”
"Second Master ......"
"But don't worry, this Rong Ruizhang, you will torture slowly, and when the torture is enough, the master will help you get rid of him." Rong Che said.
Wei Qingqing didn't know what to say, and hugged him into his arms, feeling relieved.
"How's the investigation over there?" Wei Qingqing asked him.
"I found out, it was the negligence of the subordinates, which caused Tang'er to accidentally run out of the house when she was chasing butterflies to play." Rong Che's tone was slightly cold.
Wei Qingqing also understood, how could Le Wu be so negligent, and such a big child didn't know if he ran away from under his nose?
The only reason is that she did it on purpose.
After being silent for a while, Wei Qingqing mentioned the matter of the second room with him, and after Rong Che had eaten, he went to find the old man.
"Young lady, Young Master Tang'er said he wanted to see you."
Pothos came in and replied.
Wei Qingqing looked at the drizzle outside, and smiled lightly: "Let him come." ”
Soon, Tang'er ran over with the "Legend of Mountains and Seas" given to him by Wei Qingqing. looked at Wei Qingqing with sparkling eyes, and said, "Young lady, I asked Sister Luluo to read this book to me, I want to copy this book from now on, is it okay?" ”
Wei Qingqing was a little surprised that he liked this book so much: "Does Tang'er want to learn words, I still have a few calligraphy books here for you to practice." There are a lot of rare and difficult words in this "Legend of Mountains and Seas", and it is not appropriate for you to practice this at such a young age. ”
Tang'er lowered her head. Holding the book, he nodded timidly.
Seeing this, Wei Qingqing asked him with a smile: "Do you like this book very much?" ”
"Well, because ......" because it was sent by the young lady.
Tang'er was embarrassed to say, Wei Qingqing smiled and rubbed his little head: "If you like it, keep it." I'll have some for you. ”
Saying that, Lan Sheng had already brought a few notebooks, and it happened that Wei Qingqing was also idle, so he simply asked Luluo to serve Tang'er and start posting on his desk.
The drizzle was light, and there was no sound when it fell on the eaves. The open window is just right to see a few green tea trees, and the leaves are wet with water, making them even brighter.
The room was filled with the smell of ink, Tang'er practiced calligraphy, and from time to time looked up at Wei Qingqing, who was sitting by the window with a book in her hand, and continued to practice calligraphy seriously with her head blushing.
"The young master likes the young lady very much?"
At noon, Tang'er came out with Pothos, and Pothos asked him with a smile.
Tang'er nodded, looked at the pothos seriously with big eyes, and said, "Young lady...... Like a mother. ”
When Wei Qingqing heard Lan Sheng's words, she couldn't help but hold her chin and look out the window, her mother ...... She had almost forgotten what her mother looked like......
In the afternoon, the news that the second room was going to separate from the big house spread, and Rong Minghuo and Tao were caught off guard.
Rong Minghuo immediately wanted to go to see Grandpa Guo, but was blocked back.
Rong Minghuo was anxious and wanted to find Rong Ruizhang, but as soon as he arrived at Rong Ruizhang's door, he saw a pile of people wearing half-used silk that did not fit and were about to rush to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Rong Minghuo didn't get off the carriage, so he asked someone to inquire, only to find out that it was Aunt Wen's poor relatives, and they all came to the capital to defect.
If it's Aunt Wen's mother's family, it's all her stepmother's family.
"I really can't see it." Rong Minghuo sneered and looked at the glorious Prime Minister's Mansion in the past: "A dignified prime minister, how can he make a fool of himself for women's affairs all day long?" ”
Unfortunately, Li Yushi is also about to come to the door today.
Hearing Rong Minghuo's words, he looked at the crowd in the Prime Minister's Mansion, turned around and left.
When Wei Qingqing heard that Rong Ruizhang was going to come to the door again, he directly refused.
Rong Ruizhang's whole person was gloomy, as if he had just crawled out of the Shura field, looked at Lan Sheng who was talking back and forth, and snorted coldly: "She doesn't see me?" Is there no face to see me? ”
Aunt Wen's matter must be Wei Qingqing's hand, Rong Ruizhang is sure of it, and there is no doubt about Yang Daxian and the Ma family last night......
The more Rong Ruizhang thought about it, the more he wanted to strangle Wei Qingqing.
But Lan Sheng was calmer than him: "Xiangye's words are interesting, why can't my young lady stand with you, so she doesn't have the face to see you?" ”
"She'......"
Rong Ruizhang almost blurted out that Wei Qingqing didn't know how to marry someone else, so he finally accepted it. Only then did he say coldly: "You tell her, let her come to see me immediately!" ”
Lan Sheng didn't know where Rong Ruizhang came from, as if his young lady was his.
"The slave and maid are not so free, the words of the young lady of my family have been conveyed by the slave maid, if the master is not willing to go, just rest here for a while." With that, Lan Sheng turned around and left.
Rong Ruizhang took a deep breath before resisting the urge to break in.
"Okay, very good, Wei Qingqing, you treat me like this, I will let you know what the end is when you go against me!"
With that, he turned around and left.
After he left, Wei Qingqing walked out of the door on the side, looked at his back indifferently as he left, and instructed Lan Zhi: "Let Guo Qing keep an eye on him." ”
"Yes."
"Miss, the slave is worried that if you force him to be in a hurry. The dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall. Lan Sheng said.
"It also depends on whether the dog's teeth are sharp or not." Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Ruizhang's back, she had seen his back leave like this countless times, and she felt unexpectedly comfortable today.
"Young lady, the second lady in the second room is waiting outside."
As he spoke, someone replied.
Rong Linlin?
Wei Qingqing turned around, saw the powerful Rong Linlin, who was gloomy and powerful, glanced at Lan Sheng before walking out.
As soon as Rong Linlin saw Wei Qingqing, he didn't say a word, so he knelt down in front of her with a bang: "You are the only one in this mansion who can help me, if you don't help me, I can only die here today." ”
Hearing these threatening words, Wei Qingqing's original intention to help her faded.
"If you want to die, you will die, and it has nothing to do with anyone."
Wei Qingqing said coldly, and then stepped past her to leave.
Rong Linlin gritted his teeth: "You caused me to go to the temple, you killed my beloved, are you going to leave it alone?" ”
Lan Sheng frowned when he heard this, what did the young lady make her go to the temple and kill his man?
If it weren't for the young lady, she would have been dragged to the sinking pond long ago.
Wei Qingqing's footsteps didn't stop for half a minute, Rong Linlin looked at her, and finally couldn't help shouting: "I know what you want, as long as you help me, I will never tell your secret!" ”
Wei Qingqing's footsteps paused slightly, Rong Linlin thought she was scared, but saw Wei Qingqing turn around, staring at her with a cold and terrifying gaze, and asked, "Then tell me, what is my secret?" If you say something wrong, if you don't die by yourself, I won't let you go! ”
Rong Linlin had never seen anyone show such a terrifying look as Wei Qingqing, and he forgot to speak for a while.
Wei Qingqing's eyes shrank slightly, and then the murderous aura in his body faded, and the corners of his mouth were faintly hooked: "Next time you want to threaten people, be smarter, and see if the person you threaten can afford to provoke." I can tell you clearly right now that I won't help you, whether you die or not, it has nothing to do with me. ”
After that, Wei Qingqing left directly, leaving Rong Linlin, who was sitting in place, and Rong Minghuo, who was hiding behind and watching secretly.
