Chapter 85: Learn to calculate
The crowd around avoided it, and Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang also stood up, "Father." β
Yan Hou's eyes kept falling on Lian Zhi'er, and said with a smile, "This is the girl who gave birth to the eldest son of my family, she is really a beautiful embryo, no wonder my grandson is so playful and cute." β
The eldest princess's face softened a little, but she picked up the tea in Lian Zhi'er's hand, only took a sip, and handed it to the maid beside her, "Get up." β
Lian Zhi'er knelt for too long, and her knees were already sore, and it was almost very laborious to barely stand up.
"I heard that you are from Beiliang?" The eldest princess's gaze swept over her face.
"Yes."
"Who else is in the house?"
The eldest princess had already sent someone to inquire about Lian Zhi'er's care, but this girl seemed to have jumped out of a crack in the stone, and there was no news at all, only that she was exiled because she was from Beiliang.
"My mother is gone when I was young, my father and brother are gone, and now I'm the only one left." There was a hint of tears in her eyes.
"I didn't expect it to be such a miserable girl." Yan Hou had an unconcealed distress on his face, "In the future, this will be your home." β
The eldest princess only looked at Lian Zhi'er and felt more and more displeased, and only said coldly, "Place her in Qingyue Courtyard, and you just have to do the rest." β
As soon as everyone heard Mingyue Courtyard, they couldn't help but show it in their eyes
Fu Yunhuang had already walked over and gently held Lian Zhi'er's arm, "My daughter-in-law will find two maids to serve her, and I will never let my sister suffer the slightest grievance." β
The eldest princess nodded, her face already showing impatience, "Stand down." β
Lian Zhi'er left the suffocating house and walked into the courtyard, but felt that the scorching sun was in the sky. A wave of lightheadedness.
And at this moment, I saw Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang also walking out, the two of them were talking about something while walking, but Fu Yunhuang's eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.
It wasn't until he walked up to her that Fu Yunhuang turned his face to look at her, "Shicai ordered someone to pick two maids and a rough grandmother for my sister, both of whom are extremely smart and clever." β
was talking, but saw her personal maid Cuiyun walk out, followed by two maids.
Fu Yunhuang pointed to one of the maids who looked smart and gentle. only smiled, "This is silk bamboo." β
Then he pointed to another sharp-toothed maid who looked a little childish, "This is Guan Yue." β
Ruan Lu's gaze swept over the two maids, and his eyes suddenly became a little colder, "That's it, go and take your master back, on such a summer day, who has the time to toss around with you here." β
With that, he turned to leave.
And at this moment, I saw Lian Zhi'er come up and pull his sleeve, "Wait a minute." β
Everyone was stunned, but they saw Lian Zhi'er looking straight at him with a pair of dark eyes, "I want to see Akong." β
Ruan Lu frowned, "Ah Kong has been handed over to the princess to raise, and he will have nothing to do with you in the future, if you really want her good, don't let people know that he has a mother from a humble background." β
Lian Zhi'er suddenly smiled, with a touch of sarcasm on her face, "Cheap? On originβ"
She wanted to say. In terms of origin, she is the daughter of the king of Beiliang, and the first emperor also married her father as a brother-in-law, her identity is not lower than him, and she is just a defeated marquis's daughter Fu Yunhuang.
However, before she could finish her words, she heard a "snap", and a slap interrupted her words.
Everyone was also dumbfounded, they didn't expect Ruan Lu to beat a woman with his own hands, which was the most disgraceful thing he felt before.
Lian Zhi'er was a little stunned for a while, if the woman next to her suffered such a strange humiliation, I was afraid that she would have wanted to die a long time ago, but only she, like an angry little beast, looked at him directly.
Ruan Lu's face turned blue for a while, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but Lian Zhi'er was still tugging at his sleeve, angry and angry, he only walked forward, but she would not let go.
In front of the public, outside the courtyard of the eldest princess, the two of them pulled and pulled like this.
Ruan Lu was so angry that he reached out and took off his robe.
However, Lian Zhi'er still didn't let go, and still turned other clothes, as if he wanted to fight with him to the end.
"I want to see Akong." That's all she has to say.
"Okay, okay." Ruan Lu stretched out his hand and took off his second robe, then the third, "Since you like the robe of this son so much, then I will reward you." β
Seeing that there were only profane clothes left on Ruan Lu's body, Fu Yunhuang walked up and gently pressed Ruan Lu's hand, so many people were watching, how could he really take off the profane clothes.
"After all, it was born and raised by my sister, and they are all people who are related by blood, how can it be said that it will be broken? After a while, I asked the nurse to carry Ah Kong over and show my sister. β
Sure enough, Lian Zhi'er, who heard this, loosened his sleeve and said slowly, "Thank you, princess." β
After speaking, he turned around and led his two maids away, leaving only Ruan Lu, who was angry and had a blue face.
Soon, an old lady told the eldest princess in the house what happened outside, but she saw the eldest princess raise her eyebrows and sneered, "I have long known that this woman is not a soft persimmon, let's embarrass her like this, she is still holding her neck, and she has no fear at all, but I am afraid that Yunhuang will not be able to control her in the future." β
Mama Wu beside him hurriedly came up and said with a smile, "Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't like her, and she refuses to agree even when she sees the child, with her being so neglected, can she still turn the world upside down?" β
The eldest princess held a fan and fanned it unhurriedly, "He crawled out of my belly, how can I, as a mother, not understand my son, if he cares, he will be snubbed, this is the best protection." β
Mama Wu was also stunned when she heard this, and then said slowly. "Since she was arranged to enter the Mingyue Courtyard, I am afraid that she will inevitably see that woman, and at that time, she was so bold that she was afraid that she would not dare to run rampant."
The eldest princess sneered, "Yes, let her understand that as long as she is restless, that will be her fate in the future." β
Shi Cai Yanhou went to the front room to tell the little servants to go on an errand, and when he came back, he saw that everyone in the house had been sent out, and it was the eldest princess and the people around her who said something private.
He was originally going to walk with his feet up, but after hearing them talking about Mingyue Courtyard, the hand under his sleeve was clenched tightly, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes.
When he got out of the courtyard, he turned the bamboo bridge, but saw Ruan Lu standing by the lake, teasing the caged birds with ears of grain.
He coughed lightly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he smiled and said, "You are satisfied, you actually brought your beloved into the mansion, and invited your Lao Tzu to come over and intercede for her, what a big face." β
Ruan Lu dropped the grain ear in his hand, and only snorted coldly and said, "Father came too late, and she suffered a lot of grievances. β
"Didn't Father let things get a stumbling block?" Yan Hou smiled, "If you can let your mother spread some evil anger today, this girl will be better off in the future." β
Ruan Lu was noncommittal, "Who can stumble on my father's feet." I'm afraid it's the girl Qiyan who lives in the courtyard again, if my mother knows......"
In an instant, Yan Hou's face changed, "You must not let your mother know about this matter. β
Ruan Lu didn't bother to care about such a thing, and countless women who have died in the hands of their mothers over the years are no longer strange.
"You are really, why did you want to marry Fu Yunhuang into the mansion, looking at that girl, it is not worry-free." Yan Hou was very puzzled, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with her flower and moon appearance?" β
Ruan Lu was also remorseful, "I was really crazy at the beginning, I married her into the house, and now I see her smiling all day long, coaxing my mother around, and I don't know where I got the ability." β
Yan Hou suddenly frowned and said, "Someone came to report that Sui Jinghou was actually looking for evidence of the Ruan family's crimes, and he didn't even let go of things the size of sesame, and it seems that he wanted to use our power to bring down the Shi family." β
Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his lips, "It seems that women's jealousy is really not to be underestimated, the Shi family is just a scholar, only full of hard bones, and it takes such effort to bring them down." β
Yan Hou looked at his son with a proud face, couldn't help but sigh, and then turned around to leave.
And at this moment, Ruan Lu stopped him, "Since my father is late and has made her suffer, I ask you to reward her with some excellent trauma medicine, didn't the Queen Mother reward you with some a few days ago?" β
Yanhou was laughed at angrily, "You brute." It was calculated on Lao Tzu. β
Ruan Lu was not annoyed, but said with a smile, "Since the father didn't give it, the son dared to let the Qiyan girl ask for it." β
"Giving, what can't be given." Yan Hou walked away with his sleeves and said with a smile, "Now I can see that you have moved your true feelings, rare, rare." β
Lian Zhi'er took the two maids to the Mingyue Courtyard, but saw that the yard was full of weeds, insects, ants, snakes and rats crawling, I didn't expect that there was such a place in such a luxurious and prosperous eldest princess's mansion, I was afraid that even the most inferior minions would not sleep,
The two little girls were also stunned, the maid named Sizhu was fine, but the one named Guan Yue suddenly burst into tears, and only shouted angrily.
"What is this, I am also a second-class maid in the mansion, and I was sent here on an errand so well."
When Lian Zhi'er was exiled, he did not suffer anything. In the past, twenty women lived in a dilapidated hut, and the courtyard in front of them could still shelter from the wind and rain, I don't know how many times better than before.
Sizhu saw that Lian Zhi'er was not crying or annoyed, and felt a little stunned for a while.
But Lian Zhi'er saw that the wall of the courtyard had fallen halfway, and she could see the courtyard next door, and saw that there seemed to be someone living in it, so she asked, "Who lives there?" β
Sizhu's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "The people who live there must not be mentioned, the slave and maid will send someone over to repair the wall later, and you should never inquire about this matter in the future." β
Lian Zhi'er was a little puzzled, could it be that there were any demons and monsters living next door? I scared this maid like this.
Even Zhi'er didn't ask, so he entered the house, but saw that although the things in the main house were a little dilapidated, they were quite complete, and they could be used just by cleaning up.
At this time, the two old grandmothers assigned by Fu Yunhuang also came, only pulling grass outside the yard, already complaining, but they were also very dissatisfied.
Lian Zhi'er was only worried about her Akong, and then waited for the maids to barely clean up the house, but saw a grandmother walking in with a swaddling baby.
Lian Zhi'er walked up in three steps and two steps, but saw his Akong lying in swaddling clothes, looking around with dark eyes.
In an instant, Lian Zhi'er's heart was like a knife, and he reached out and hugged his child.
The nurse only handed it forward, but suddenly reached out and secretly pinched it, and the child was just in Lian Zhi'er's arms. Suddenly I cried out with a "wow".
Lian Zhi'er nervously hugged one in his arms, only coaxing desperately.
But the nurse sneered and said slowly. "When this child is hugged by the princess, she doesn't cry, but she cries like this when she is born in her mother's arms, and she must know who respects and who is inferior."
Lian Zhi'er hugged the child in her arms tighter, and only sneered, "He hasn't seen his mother for a few days, so he is naturally going to cry excitedly, and it's not your child, how do you know what he thinks in his heart." β
The nurse was stunned, and only stood by with a sneer. I didn't dare to say a word.
Lian Zhi'er hugged Akong, but she didn't expect her child to be raised by others, and it was very difficult to even look at such a long time, so how could she not be heartbroken.
Soon the child stopped crying, and looked at Lian Zhi'er with a pair of eyes as black as agate.
At this moment, Lian Zhi'er saw that there were a few bruises on her arm, and she couldn't help but change her face.
Afraid that her voice would be too loud and would frighten the child, she lowered her voice vigorously to restrain the anger in her heart. "What's going on?"
The nurse stepped forward, only glanced at it casually, and then said unhappily, "Such a small child, who is not a fool of the sea, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps, and he is not a noble prince, bumps and bumps are not common?" β
Lian Zhi'er said angrily, "But he is the child of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you treat him like this?" β
"The rules of our Central Plains, if you want to establish a grandson or not a long-term son, even if you are the eldest son, you will be just a concubine in the future, how much success can you have, and the princess is born, that is the real golden pimple."
Lian Zhi'er knew that the old woman was clearly here to quarrel with her, so she became more and more angry.
And at this moment, the nurse snorted coldly, "Since you have seen it, then please return it to me, I still have to go on a business trip." β
Lian Zhi'er had only seen such a child for a while, how could he let go, and at this moment, he saw Sizhu walking up and said slowly, "Madam, you still pay it back, no matter how long you keep him, can you still keep him by your side for the rest of your life?" β
Lian Zhi'er listened to her words, as if she wanted to say something.
Then the nurse stepped forward and snatched the child over, and the force in her hand was a little great, and the child immediately howled and cried.
Lian Zhi'er could only watch her take the child away, and she couldn't do anything.
Sizhu saw Guan Yue watching the excitement on the side, so he ordered, "Go and ask the housekeeper when you will send someone to repair the wall." β
Guan Yueba had to do these menial tasks, only threw down the broom in his hand and ran away in a hurry, as if there was a vicious dog chasing after him.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, Sizhu slowly stepped forward. "Madame, but you want to keep the little young master by your side?"
Lian Zhi'er raised her eyes, her face full of excitement, "You, do you have a way?" β
"There is a way, as long as you are willing to be willing to do it, madam." Sizhu's voice was very faint, so light that it almost took her a lot of effort to hear.
"How?" Lian Zhi'er's voice couldn't help but become excited, "For the sake of Akong, I am willing to do anything." β
"Everyone knows that no matter how good the stepmother is, she can't compare to her own mother, if you use some poison on the little princess, and then only rely on the princess, everyone will naturally not doubt you." Sizhu said slowly, "As long as the dosage is controlled, if the little boy is sick, it will be better than suffering by the side of the princess in the future." β
Lian Zhi'er was a little puzzled, but at this moment, Sizhu had already come over and slowly said a few words by Lian Zhi'er's side.
She quickly fell into deep thought, with a bit of trepidation and uneasiness on her face, "Let me think again, let me think again." β
Sizhu continued to instigate. "His Royal Highness the princess is a newlywed princess again, I'm afraid that the princess will be pregnant soon, at that time your children are a thorn in her side, and it will be too late at that time."
Seeing that Lian Zhi'er was still trembling, Sizhu was already a little anxious, but at this moment, she saw that someone outside was calling her, so she hurried out.
After she went out, Lian Zhi'er, who was still scared and uneasy, slowly pulled the corners of her lips, "I'm not a fool, how could I believe the person sent by the princess, you are so blatantly calculated, it seems that you can't tolerate me for a day." β
Soon the silk bamboo also returned, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, and only said with a smile, "This is the trauma medicine sent by the master of the horse." β
Lian Zhi'er only took it, opened the lid and put it between his nose and sniffed it, but he only smelled a medicinal fragrance. She liked to carry these trauma pills the most, and when she smelled them, she knew that they were excellent.
Soon Lian Zhi'er took off her shoes and socks, and sure enough, she saw that the soles of her feet were already red and swollen, so she began to apply medicine.
Seeing her like this, Na Sizhu couldn't say anything anymore, so she had to go about her own business.
Soon it was dark, and Lian Zhi'er only felt sleepy and tired, and after reluctantly freshening up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep hastily.
In the darkness of the night, a figure broke through the window and finally sat on Lian Zhi'er's bed.
Through the moonlight outside the window, Ruan Lu saw the fine sweat on Lian Zhi'er's forehead, and the frowning eyebrows tightly because of the pain.
His cold fingers slowly brushed her cheek, "I'm sorry, I can't protect you for a while, and I can only see you like this." β
