169. The vixen who seduces the soul
Tang Mingluo stared at her like a torch, trying to peel off her skin and see through her heart.
"County Lord, it's about the Su family's young lady, please forgive the slave for not being able to tell her directly." Daiyu responded in a low voice, bitter.
After a while, just when Daiyu thought that there was no hope for this matter, a soft sigh came from her ears: "I will believe you one last time!" Aunt Daiyu, don't let me down. ”
"Slave maid...... Thank you, county lord......" Daiyu kowtowed deeply, and a tear slid down her nose and dripped on the bluestone street below her.
King Jing's Mansion.
Ruan Lingran saw her daughter returning home without a sound, and knew that this girl was afraid that she would lose her temper with others again. She was about to open her mouth to lecture her when she saw the person following her.
"What's going on?! Why did you bring her to the house? Ruan Lingran rarely loses her temper, but after all, she is from a noble family, and she is not angry and arrogant.
Tang Mingluo saw that his mother's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said: "Mother, don't be busy getting angry first, this person is here to find the eldest brother, and the matter is urgent, so my daughter ......"
Daiyu knew how much Princess Jing resented her, but she couldn't back down, she bit her lower lip stubbornly, knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said: "The princess atoned for her sins, all the mistakes are Daiyu's fault, it was the slave maid who asked the county lord to take me to see the prince, and asked the princess to be gracious, and let the slave and maid tell the prince about the matter." ”
Ruan Lingran frowned and looked at her deeply, there was hatred, regret, and countless indescribable complex emotions in her eyes.
"That's it, you get up first!" She spoke lightly, and then instructed the grandmother behind her, "Go and invite the prince to come over." ”
"Yes."
However, as soon as there was a gap in tea, Tang Mingqi strode in.
"Mother."
Ruan Lingran rubbed the corners of her forehead and raised her eyes to look at him: "Daiyu wants to see you, saying that she has something to tell you." If you don't want to see her, your mother will send her back. ”
"Aunt Daiyu is in the house?!"
Ruan Lingran nodded.
Tang Mingqi was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, Aunt Daiyu was a female official who had taken care of him since he was a child, and she was implicated and convicted because he was abducted outside the palace. Everyone was blaming her, but he knew that Aunt Daiyu really loved him, and she would never betray him and murder him.
She was demoted to a palace maid, and she should be in the palace at this time. Unless, something big happened that made her have to risk leaving the palace......
"Where's she? I want to see her. ”
"But she ......" Ruan Lingran stopped talking, sighed, and said helplessly, "Bring people in!" ”
"Yes."
Mama brought people in, and of course, Tang Mingluo also came in.
Seeing his sister, Tang Mingqi frowned: "Why are you here?!" ”
Tang Mingluo rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "You think I want to come back to see you, it's not that I'm worried about ......"
"Worried about what?!"
"Beware that you are hooked by that vixen of the Su family!" She said angrily.
Tang Mingqi's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand and flicked it on her head: "What nonsense!" Where are there vixens! ”
Tang Mingluo rubbed his head and snorted: "I've heard about it, a few days ago, the Su family made trouble in court, and you went to support others!" Old man Sui is so old, and he was invited by you to go to the doctor! Do you dare to say that you weren't hooked?! ”
Ruan Lingran on the side glared in surprise: "What Luo'er said is true?!" ”
Tang Mingluo swore an oath: "Mother, it's true!" It was the Hou Ye who told me, and it was Lord Cheng from the Beijing Governor's Mansion who saw it with his own eyes! ”
Cheng Xu and the Marquis of Dingbei are close friends, and a small gathering is indispensable in private, because of the relationship between the Marquis of Dingbei and the Jingwang Mansion, Cheng Xu did not avoid suspicion and said a few more words. Who knows, this Dingbei Hou is undetermined, and he has recruited everything in such a bedroom in his wife's gentle township.
Tang Mingluo knew early on that his brother had a marriage contract with the daughter of the Su family, but later heard his mother mention that the eldest brother had married a sister-in-law in private. Now, after hearing this, can you not be in a hurry! These three wives and four concubines will cause the family to be restless and hurt people's hearts in vain! She has to discipline the sister-in-law she has never met, this unreliable big brother!
Ruan Lingran frowned, and said to her son seriously: "Mingqi, when you married a wife in private, your mother never said anything about you. I even thought that if the Queen Mother was to blame, my mother would have the cheekiness to ask for your guilt. But now, where did you put your former wife by doing this?! ”
Tang Mingqi glanced at her, pinched his eyebrows, and helplessly explained: "Mother...... The one I married before...... It's the current Miss Chang of the Su family......"
"Huh?!"
Ruan Lingran and Tang Mingluo were shocked when they heard this, and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Big brother, aren't you teasing me and my mother?!"
"I'm kidding?!" Tang Mingqi chuckled, shook his head, and advised: "Few people know about this matter, and I ask my mother and sister to keep their mouths shut." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Aunt Daiyu on the side: "Please also aunt, forget what you just heard." ”
Daiyu raised her eyes to look at him, and opened her mouth to say: "Lord Shizi, the slave and maid knew about this a few days ago, and the slave and maid will not say it." ”
"Well, I believe Auntie."
Daiyu's eyes were hot, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Shizi." ”
"What is my aunt here for? But what happened to me to send you away? Tang Mingqi promised her before, if one day, if she didn't want to suffer in the palace, she could take the jade pendant out of the palace to find him, and he sent her away to live the life of ordinary people.
Daiyu pursed her lips and said softly: "The slave didn't want to leave, the slave and the maid came to tell the prince one thing." Today, the county lord of Xihe has come to see the queen mother, I sprinkled under the porch, and vaguely heard that the county lord and the queen mother said a few rumors, all about the ...... of the Su family."
"Rumors?" Tang Mingqi's eyes lit up, "What did the Queen Mother say?" ”
Daiyu shook her head: "I didn't say anything, but after the county lord Xihe left, the queen mother sent someone to invite the holy ......."
As soon as her voice fell, several people in the room looked stunned.
Ruan Lingran has been with the Queen Mother for the longest time, and she guesses the Queen Mother's thoughts thoroughly. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Mingqi, the Queen Mother's temperament is clear to her mother, her old man does not like to interfere in the government and politics the most, if it alarms the saint, it means that this matter has violated her taboo, and the Su family's small family is afraid that they are worried about their lives......"
Tang Mingluo's little face turned white: "Isn't that sister-in-law ......?"
Tang Mingqi's face was gloomy as a cold night, and he said in a deep voice: "Luo'er, I want to go to the Su family, Aunt Daiyu will hand it over to you, and I will definitely send her back to the palace safely, if the Queen Mother asks, you will say ......"
"I know, I know!" Tang Mingluo hurriedly pushed him out of the door, "You go quickly!" ”
