Chapter 57: Crisis Resolution
Meng Xiaoran walked out, and saw Xia He standing there with someone, looking at her with some anxiety in her eyes, she knew that this trip would definitely be unlucky again, and Shen Qian knew that it would take a while to know the news, so her best way now was to delay.
Thinking like this, Meng Xiaoran immediately covered his stomach and squatted down, his face was full of pain, Xia He saw this and asked, "What's wrong?" The lord told you to hurry up, but if you don't get up quickly, you will be punished if you are delayed. ”
"I ...... I suddenly have a stomachache, so let me go to the hut first. The expression on her face was very painful when she spoke, and the mother-in-law saw that her face was pale and full of sweat, and they didn't think about whether she was a fake, and Lu Mian on the side immediately stepped forward and said: "She is in pain like this, you just have to wait, if something happens, Madame can't spare you." ”
Saying that, she walked over and helped Meng Xiaoran to stand up, Meng Xiaoran smiled gratefully at her, and went down to the thatched house in the backyard with her support, and she returned to normal as soon as she entered, and the sweat on her face just now was also forced out by her internal strength, so that she could deceive them.
Meng Xiaoran hid in the thatched house for two quarters of an hour, estimating that if Shen Qian received the news, then the arrangements should have been arranged, and she should be able to save her in time, so she walked out of the thatched house and wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief.
Xia He, who was standing not far away, saw her come out and immediately nodded at her, and then a look of impatience appeared on his face, and when he walked to the front, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "I have been going for so long, if the master blames it, you will suffer it." ”
The group walked to Ruxue Pavilion and spent another quarter of an hour, and when they entered, they saw Liu Yingyuan, who was pale, and when they came in, a teacup flew over, and Meng Xiaoran avoided it quietly.
"Get on your knees!" Liu Yingyuan shouted loudly, Meng Xiaoran knelt down pretending to be innocent, and then he asked again: "What did you add to the eldest lady's balm, why did the eldest lady have a rash on her face after only two days of use?" ”
It turned out to be waiting here! Meng Xiaoran smiled secretly in his heart, but there was a panicked look on his face, "Master, the slave maid is wronged, after the hibiscus balsam slave maid took it back, it was sent to all the courtyards, and it was never opened." ”
"You!" At this time, Liu Ruxue rushed out from the side, and when she walked over, she was about to slap Meng Xiaoran, Meng Xiaoran was already ready, and fell to the ground, Liu Ruxue did not succeed, and glared at her viciously.
Meng Xiaoran looked at Liu Ruxue and saw that her face was full of red rashes, which was very terrifying, and she couldn't help but admire: This Liu Ruxue was really ruthless in order to frame herself.
Liu Yingyuan looked at his daughter's face, his heart was full of anger, thinking that Liu Ruxue's face had been in many disasters recently, the previous scratches were just right, and now that such a thing happened, he was naturally very angry, so he shouted outside: "Come on, drag this down for me and beat it hard!" ”
Several mothers-in-law came up and dragged Meng Xiaoran to the courtyard, and then the housekeeper hurriedly walked in, came to Liu Yingyuan and whispered in a low voice, Liu Yingyuan frowned and looked at him, and then said, "You introduced him into the side hall." ”
After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the main hall of Ruxue Pavilion, and when he saw that Meng Xiaoran was still being pulled at this time, he waved his hand, "Wait for the time being, and I'll talk about it after I finish dealing with important matters." ”
Liu Ruxue was about to step forward to stop her, but when she saw her father looking at her coldly, she didn't dare to say more, she sat on the seat hatefully, feeling angry in her heart, I don't know who chose this time, otherwise that green fu has already been beaten, see how arrogant she is?
Meng Xiaoran really suffered from the disaster this time, a few days ago, Lu Ziqing met her in the house, so he asked two more words, who knew that this was seen and told Chunya, Chunya told Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxue knew that she was immediately angry, and finally came up with this method, wanting to punish her well.
At this time, in the side hall, it was Qingfeng who came, Liu Yingyuan naturally knew his identity, and he was also very polite to him, "I don't know what happened to Qingfeng Gongzi today?" ”
Qingfeng stood there, nodded at him, and then took off the burden behind him, and spread it out on the side of the table, "Today Qingfeng came to apologize for my son-in-law, a few days ago, two of the hibiscus balms sold in Liuxiangzhai are problematic, and I am afraid that they will react if they are used, and my son specially asked me to send a hundred boxes of hibiscus balm today, and there is also a small bottle of jade cream." ”
Liu Yingyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, in fact, he thought that today's incident was made by his daughter, but he didn't expect that it was really the balsam that had a problem, so that the maid of Lufu could no longer fight, but after this incident, he got a small bottle of jade face cream, and it was worth it, after all, he spent 10,000 taels of gold on that bottle at the beginning, and now this small bottle is worth a thousand gold.
"In this case, I have to thank the third son."
Qingfeng nodded, then clenched his fists and said, "The things have been delivered, Qingfeng has retired." Liu Yingyuan nodded and signaled to the housekeeper on the side, who immediately stepped forward and left with Qingfeng.
Liu Yingyuan stood up, picked up the small bottle of jade face cream, walked to the front hall just now, and said what Qingfeng had just said, and then asked Meng Xiaoran to let go, and in order to comfort, he also rewarded her with two boxes of hibiscus balm, and asked people to send her back to Linyue Zhai.
"Daddy, why did you let her go?" Liu Ruxue pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, Liu Yingyuan glanced at her, sighed secretly in her heart, and then said, "Do you think I don't know what's going on today?" I told you to be more peaceful, don't always cause trouble, hide these things for you all day long, do you still think your father is not tired enough? ”
Liu Ruxue didn't speak, but her face was still full of resentment, Liu Yingyuan stepped forward and took out the small jade bottle in her hand and put it in front of her, Liu Ruxue's eyes immediately lit up, and she reached out and snatched it, "Yurong ointment?" Daddy, is this jade cream? ”
"Naturally, it was sent by the Shen Mansion to apologize." Liu Yingyuan said with a smile.
Liu Ruxue looked delighted, "The Shen Mansion is so generous, Daddy, could it be that there is really a problem with the hibiscus balm this time?" ”
Liu Yingyuan glanced at her dissatisfied, "I can only say that you are lucky, don't do these things in the future, pay attention to your identity as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Seeing Liu Ruxue looking at Yurong Paste with joy on her face, she didn't listen to his words at all, and couldn't help but be a little angry, "Ruxue, I know your thoughts, I used to turn a blind eye to one eye, but now that you are older, I will make it clear to you, Lu Ziqing, don't think about it, your future in-laws have already made arrangements in your father's heart, don't contact Lu Ziqing again in the future, you know?" ”
"Why? Daddy, my cousin's family is also the Admiral of Jiumen, and he is also a good match with our prime minister in terms of identity, and that is my daughter's uncle, my daughter will definitely not be bullied when she marries, why didn't Daddy agree? Liu Ruxue's eyes widened, and she asked Liu Yingyuan very puzzled.
Liu Yingyuan looked at his daughter and shook his head, "Your mother is so smart, why are you so stupid?" The queen mother is your aunt, and the four princes have not yet established a concubine, why do you think so? ”
"Daddy, what do you mean...... Aunt Queen wants to marry me to the fourth prince? Liu Ruxue took two steps back in shock, her face full of reluctance.
"In short, you must obey your father and your aunt in this matter, and don't make your own decisions anymore!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left Ruxue Pavilion, leaving Liu Ruxue standing in the hall with an aggrieved face, and finally smashed all the porcelain in the hall before relieving his anger.
Although the crisis was resolved in this way this time, Meng Xiaoran didn't really let go of her heart, she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a day, presumably that Liu Ruxue would not let go of herself, but she didn't understand, what kind of hatred made her hate herself like this? Now it seems that Chen will not protect herself, how should she deal with it?
Meng Xiaoran returned to Linyuezhai, Chen had already received the news here, and she was immediately called in after she came back, Chen saw her respectfully saluting herself, and her heart was very satisfied, "Lu Fu, today's incident has wronged you, you go back and rest, I asked Lu Yi to order the small kitchen to make you some soup, suppress the shock." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Meng Xiaoran was respectful on her face, but she sneered in her heart, Chen was really used to acting like her, she didn't even know how to block it when she was going to be taken away, but now she knows that it's okay to sell favors, is it possible to expect that she can be grateful?
Soon after returning to the house, Lu Yi came over, and really held a food box in his hand, and brought a bowl of hot chicken soup from it, Meng Xiaoran looked at her carefully, and saw the expression on her face, I don't know if Shen Qian found out anything, what did Chen let Lu Yi do?
Her doubts were answered that night, and in the afternoon Xiaochun sent a letter again, Shen Qian made an appointment to meet him, and after arriving, he heard Shen Qian tell her, it turned out that Lu Yi had quietly left the house these days, and after going out, he went back to his home, and then came out again, and Qingfeng found a middle-aged man going in again.
Later, I investigated and learned that the middle-aged man was her cousin, who was arranged by the Chen family to be a steward in a Zhuangzi in the Xiangfu, and coincidentally, this Zhuangzi was the Zhuangzi sent by Liu Chengchuan, the eldest son of the Xiangfu.
"Liu Chengchuan is also on that Zhuangzi?" Meng Xiaoran lowered his head and pondered, and then said: "It seems that the Chen family still won't let him go, I guess what they plotted that day was to let Luyi's cousin harm Liu Chengchuan." ”
Shen Qian nodded, "That's true, I sent someone to that Zhuangzi to observe for a few days, Liu Chengchuan is afraid that he has been poisoned, he was beaten thirty boards, he was seriously injured, he has been lying in bed for several days, and there is no confidant around, so he is naturally unaware of being put in something in his food." ”
"The Chen family is really vicious." Meng Xiaoran shook his head.
Shen Qian smiled, "How many women in the mansion are not vicious?" It's just a good cover-up. ”
Meng Xiaoran sighed secretly in her heart, such a thing was naturally normal in ancient times, but for her, it was absolutely unacceptable, although she had experienced all kinds of intrigues, but it was the first time she had seen it hurt people's lives like this, and the impact on her was naturally great, but after experiencing it for the first time, she was now much calmer.
