Chapter 26: The Storm Surges
And here Zhang and Liu's two aunts didn't know that their every move was closely monitored, and they got together again, and they didn't know what the hell they were doing.
Aunt Zhang complained a little about Aunt Liu, saying that Ling'er's affairs Ruoxi didn't know how to solve the siege. Aunt Liu was not polite when she heard this, and smiled coldly.
"It's not that my family Ruoxi is unwilling to help Ling'er, but there were many people at the banquet at that time, how could it be blatant in front of everyone's eyes? If you want me to say, it's not as good as Yan Ling'er's real material, and she won't be ugly, right? ”
The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer, Aunt Liu is sarcastic that Yan Ling'er has no real material, but has a big temper.
Aunt Zhang was really angry when she heard this, her nose was horizontal and her eyes were raised, and her face was distorted. But now Aunt Liu's means are powerful, if she wants to have a foothold in Yan Mansion, Aunt Zhang still has to rely on her.
Aunt Liu saw that Aunt Zhang couldn't bear it, and she was obviously angry. Aunt Liu considered that now was not the time to tear her face, so she had to give another mallet and another sweet candy.
"But in the end, our two rooms are still close, and Ruoxi will always have a time to help Ling'er in the future."
Aunt Liu patted Aunt Zhang's hand soothingly, with a look of sympathy: "For the sake of the two girls, we also have to work together, don't we?" ”
Aunt Zhang weighed the pros and cons, and had to barely hold up a smile.
Oh, yes...... The two rooms join forces, which is beneficial to her.
However, the dark tide of the two is turbulent, not to mention it for the time being, whether it is to further weigh it or maintain the existing situation, Aunt Zhang swallows her anger, and Aunt Liu is not willing to push too hard.
"Isn't there anything you can do to cure that dead girl? Recently, she has been proud of the spring breeze and is too arrogant. ”
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth a little, and the handkerchiefs she pinched were all wrinkled.
Since she knew that Ling'er had been wronged by Yan Minglan, Aunt Zhang didn't want to teach her a lesson all the time. It's a pity that I tried to think about it, but I couldn't find a comprehensive method, a way to find nothing wrong on the surface.
So, I had no choice but to seek Aunt Liu.
"I do have a solution here. However, this matter is difficult to complete by one person, and you still need your help. ”
Aunt Liu waited for Aunt Zhang's words before she took the opportunity to tell the plan. Many times she is like the behind-the-scenes manipulator, and Aunt Zhang is the chess piece that rushes to the front every day.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhang didn't notice anything wrong at all, but was excited. I'm afraid that at this moment in her heart, as long as there is a way to stop Yan Minglan from continuing to be proud, everything is not important.
"You mean, I'm in a hurry."
"You come here."
Aunt Liu greeted Aunt Zhang, which has become a habit.
The two whispered for a while, and saw Aunt Zhang's originally dark face instantly brighten.
"How?"
Aunt Liu's heart was nine times out of ten, but she still asked symbolically.
"Great, that's it!"
Aunt Zhang hurriedly nodded in agreement, and even couldn't wait to see Yan Minglan deflated. God knows that the atmosphere on her side has been so sluggish that it can't be done recently, and the mother and daughter watched Yan Minglan rise to the top, and their hearts were full of depression.
Although Aunt Liu did not express her position, she was obviously as eager as Aunt Zhang. this
In a short period of time, Yan Minglan has infinite scenery, if she keeps making Dafang so proud in the future, just thinking about it will make her scratch her heart.
Seeing that the two hit it off, neither of them had any objections to this plan. The follow-up is to discuss the steps, division of labor and cooperation, the two looked at each other and smiled, as long as they are well prepared, they will not worry about not being able to take Yan Minglan.
When Zhang Liu's two aunts kept whispering, they didn't notice the maid Lan'er who was listening to the inquiry, and her eyes flashed.
Lan'er took advantage of the gap between the two aunts to retreat, and secretly came to the big room and bumped into Amber who was on duty.
Amber saw that Lan'er suddenly came at this time, and she knew that something was wrong. made a silent gesture and immediately led Lan'er to a hidden corner.
Amber asks Lan'er what is going on, and Lan'er respectfully reports everything she hears.
"You mean, the two aunts Zhang and Liu have not been clean recently?"
Amber turned to the side, her expression solemn.
"Yes, Sister Amber. The two aunts are discussing the next step, and it seems that there will be action today. I thought that the matter was serious, and I didn't dare to delay the report, and asked the young lady to be vigilant. ”
Lan'er's eyes were solemn, it was obvious that she had come at the risk of being discovered, and her behavior showed her loyalty to the big house.
Amber's heart warmed, and reassured Lan'er and told her to relax, saying that she needed to be cautious when lurking in other rooms, and that if there were any problems, the big room could help protect her.
Bidding farewell to Lan'er, Amber had a gloomy face and stepped into the inner room.
"Miss."
At this moment, Yan Minglan was preparing to go out, dressed in men's clothes chic and handsome. Hearing Amber's voice, she looked up.
"What's wrong?"
I saw Amber with a bad look, could it be that the aunt of the two rooms had something wrong with her?
I have to say that Yan Minglan's intuition is amazingly accurate, or she understands the temperament and style of the aunt in the two rooms too well. Now she had to put her plans on the trip on hold for the time being, and sat firmly on the sidelines, listening to Amber's report.
Amber explained everything she had just learned, and her tone was rather resentful. I thought that the two aunts would be able to settle down for a while, and the Yan Mansion would be peaceful, but who knew that there would be such a cruel move.
"It's just a fantasy to want people who target you everywhere to let you go. Amber doesn't have to spoil a body for unnecessary popularity. ”
On the contrary, Yan Minglan thought very openly, poured a cup of tea and drank quietly. The soldiers will block and the water will cover the earth, and now that they have learned the plan of the two rooms, they will not be able to crack it.
"What do you mean, Miss?"
Amber looked at Yan Minglan with expectant eyes, with admiration.
Yan Minglan sold Guan Zi at this time, smiled slightly, and was silent.
…… When the time comes, you will know who will have the last laugh.
Aunt Liu here was checking the account book, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared in her heart. She pressed it down, picked up the ledger and looked at it carefully.
When she found that there were no flaws in everything, Aunt Liu couldn't help frowning in confusion.
Obviously, the plan and deployment are in place, and there is no room for error in the detailed steps. But why are you so worried? It stands to reason that there can't be a problem.
After thinking hard and having no solution, Aunt Liu could only pat her chest and warn herself not to think too much.
As for why this account book is in Aunt Liu's hands, this answer can be guessed. Now that Aunt Liu has ready-made chess pieces, this task certainly belongs to Aunt Zhang.
When Aunt Zhang first heard that she was going to steal the account book, she waved her hand again and again in a panic. Rats are bold, but there are a lot of evil intentions hidden. I don't want to use my brain, and I don't want to contribute, how could Aunt Liu easily agree.
For Aunt Zhang, a straw bag who has no brains and no means, this task can be regarded as lifting her.
However, Aunt Liu would not say it on her face, and repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, so Aunt Zhang nodded hesitantly.
Strange to say, today's big house is very poorly guarded, and the outside is empty. The maid sent out by Aunt Zhang to inquire said that Yan Minglan was not at home all day today, and Amber went out together. Aunt Zhang was overjoyed, this was simply God helping her, so she sneaked into the big room alone.
After that, the process of getting the ledger was smoother, with God's help. Aunt Zhang found it in the small drawer in the inner room, and once she succeeded, she ran non-stop to the fourth room, and she was quite proud of completing the task.
"Nothing went wrong, did you?"
Aunt Liu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and asked uneasily.
Aunt Zhang was in a relaxed mood, soothed her thumping little heart, and said, "I didn't even face to face with the maid in the big house, let alone Yan Minglan who went out." Don't worry, this time you can only say that God can't see it, help us. ”
Aunt Liu didn't pay attention to what she said, obviously she didn't believe in the gods and Buddhas, and only believed in herself. She flipped through the ledger in her hand and was relieved to see that there were many call records, all of which were true.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's look at me next."
Because of this move, Aunt Liu's attitude towards Aunt Zhang was much softer.
In the following time, Aunt Liu began to work on the ledger, and she used to use this pickling method on weekdays, but now of course she is handy.
Aunt Zhang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't understand it, yawned halfway, tears welled up, and then she couldn't help it and went back to her room.
Aunt Liu didn't expect this fool to help at all, so she nodded, and didn't even give Aunt Zhang a look. Aunt Zhang was angry when she saw it, and secretly said that Aunt Liu was a thing that she would throw away when she ran out, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Aunt Zhang went back and specially let out the news to inform Yan Ling'er of this plan to comfort her anxiety. Yan Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and she couldn't hide the fierceness on her face. I only feel that I have been unable to vent my depression for several days finally has an outlet for catharsis.
"Ling'er girl, you put your heart in your stomach and seize the opportunity to get close to the talented son. The other things in Yanfu are all regarded as mothers. ”
Aunt Zhang pinned her hopes for the rest of her life on Yan Ling'er wholeheartedly, but she didn't allow this girl to drop the chain halfway.
In her heart, as long as she marries well and marries a high eunuch position, she can't suppress the big house, three rooms and one head? At that time, the entire Yan Mansion will have to stammer itself like Yan Minglan is now.
Aunt Zhang was complacent just by imagining, and Yan Ling'er pouted dissatisfiedly.
She couldn't help but secretly say that her mother was unreliable, and she would only add to the chaos if she said it. is still the aunt of the third room who knows how to prepare for Yan Ruoxi, and every time she can think of a good idea to renovate the big house, she will not leave any mistakes.
The more I think about it, the more I compare the good and the bad. Yan Ling'er's eyes looked at Aunt Zhang who was chattering endlessly, and she was a little disgusted.
She had completely forgotten that she was a straw bale, and she was not in a position to accuse anyone.
"Ling'er, you keep this operation a secret for the time being, and you can't talk to anyone."
Aunt Zhang didn't know that she was slandered by her own daughter, so she didn't worry about telling a few words. Yan Ling'er responded impatiently and vaguely, and she didn't know if she had taken it to heart.
The dark tide of Yanfu is surging and continuing.
The disagreement between the second and third rooms is not mentioned for the time being, and Amber on the street is worried about the people coming and going. She really couldn't understand why Yan Minglan was still going out at this time? Seeing that the gangsters were about to steal into the big house, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Compared with Amber's restraints, Yan Minglan is much more relaxed and casual. Originally, it was to have fun, so it was natural to open up and play. From time to time, I stopped by the juggling stalls and watched with relish.
"Miss......"
Amber couldn't settle down, and was about to speak.
"Shhhhh
Yan Minglan interrupted, shaking her head and motioning for Amber to take a closer look.
