176. A man on a boat
There are some secrets that must never be made public, and even potential threats cannot be left behind.
And the only ones who can keep the secret are the dead.
Jiang Hongxuan's face stiffened slightly, she laughed dryly, and said: "What does the county lord command, just say it, why scare the concubine?!" ”
Xihe glanced at her contemptuously, and said sarcastically: "If the general's wife is so good at talking early in the morning, this county lord will naturally not scare you." ”
"That's what the county lord said." Jiang Hongxuan echoed softly, judging the two of them from the previous prevarication.
"Since the general's wife has a clear mind, then the county lord will say it directly." Xihe picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and said leisurely, "I want Su Luan'er and Brother Mingqi's marriage contract to stop!" I want the people who shouldn't have been in Su Mansion to disappear completely! ”
With a cold smile, she spoke softly, and the tone was chilling.
Jiang Hongxuan paused, and her eyes moved slightly: "I don't know if this is the intention of the county lord or the intention of the prince?" ”
Xihe smiled slightly, and glanced at Jiang Hongxuan: "No matter who it is, you can't refuse, can you?" She had not come on the orders of her father, but on her own selfishness.
On that day, Su Zhan went on the expedition, and she was also on the city tower, but she was separated from the two of them by a sentry post. She saw Tang Mingqi kissing the top of her hair gently, as if she was treating rare treasures carefully.
She hated, she didn't understand why the woman who couldn't get on the stage could easily be spoiled by Tang Mingqi. Why did he turn a blind eye to her sincerity for so many years?!
Jealousy, like a poisonous snake, wrapped tightly around her heart.
Jiang Hong's eyes were slightly constricted, and she nodded in response: "This is nature." However, that girl can endure it, and the concubine is alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to defeat ......."
Even if she was threatened by Xihe, Jiang Hongxuan still had to leave herself a perfect way out. If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, you have to see if you have the ability to get out of the way! There is no one here who can take advantage of the fisherman.
Xihe looked at her coldly: "What does the general's wife mean by this?" ”
Jiang Hongxuan said innocently: "The concubine is just telling the county lord a fact, and has no other meaning. ”
"Huh." Xihe snorted, "Madame, don't play those careful tricks with me, you and I are in the same boat, if this boat sinks, Madame's fate may not be better than mine." ”
Jiang Hongxuan smiled faintly: "The county lord doesn't have to worry, the concubine will naturally not let this ship sink." "At most, push the people on this boat into the water.
The corners of Xihe's mouth were slightly hooked, dyed with a hint of smile, but he didn't smile to the bottom of his eyes.
"In this case, if Madame has something that needs the help of the county lord, I will send someone to explain that I will cooperate with Madame as a good student."
"With the words of the county lord, the concubine will be at ease."
Compared with the calculations of the two of them, Su Luan is living an extraordinarily leisurely life.
She leaned on the rocking chair of Xianyun Pavilion, holding a lone book of travelogues in her hand, reading it with relish. The bell stood by and helped her refill tea and water from time to time.
After looking at it for a long time, Su Luan closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows, and said in his heart, it is really rare to be pure.
At this moment, the butler's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the county lord of Anyang is here, can you please come in?" ”
When Su Luan heard this, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he instructed the bell behind him: "Go quickly, invite my sister-in-law in for me!" ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
After a while, he heard the voice of Ning Anyang and the bell talking: "What kind of place is this?" Why are all the little ones waiting outside? ”
"Back to the county lord, this is Xianyun Pavilion, which was built by the general for the eldest lady. Except for the housekeeper, the servants and maids in this house cannot come in without the order of the master. The bell explained to her in a low voice.
Ning Anyang nodded, and she led the door into the warm pavilion.
When Su Luan saw her, he beckoned to her with a smile and said, "Little sister-in-law, sit down!" Try this tea! ”
As he spoke, he handed over the newly added tea at hand.
Ning Anyang sat on the round stool next to him, took a sip of the teacup.
"What kind of tea is this? It tastes a little fruity......"
"This one, it's passionflower."
Ning Anyang suddenly said with a bit of teasing: "My cousin is fond of you, and the fruit of this foreign feudal tribute has entered the palace, so I will send it to you to try it." ”
Su Luan didn't know that there was such a thing, and she was stunned by her, and asked rhetorically: "The fruit of the tribute?" ”
"What? Didn't my cousin tell you? Ning Anyang glanced at her strangely, and when he saw her ignorant appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, and continued, "The custom is that the fruit of the tribute from the foreign domain must be sent to the palace first, and if there is more than enough, it will be rewarded to the princes' mansions." However, this Jingwang Mansion and your Su family are exceptions, and you, that is the exception of the exceptions! ”
The mother's family is the Su family with great military achievements, and the mother-in-law's family is the Jingwang Mansion of the royal family. is not only the pearl of my father's palm, but also the meat of my husband's heart, which is really a good life that no one can envy!
Hearing her say this, Su Luan was a little worried, and muttered to himself: "Next time, I have to talk to the prince of the world, where is this spoiling me, isn't it harming me!" If someone with a heart is stabbed into the palace, I don't have enough heads to kill! ”
Ning Anyang listened, also smiled, and echoed: "That's what I said, you are already eye-catching now, it's better to keep a low profile." ”
"But it's not, there is a queen mother in this palace who doesn't want to see me, and there is a kind and ruthless stepmother in the house, and there is no peace outside this house, I don't know how many young ladies in the boudoir are looking at me?!" Su Luan said helplessly.
Ning Anyang was so amused by her resentful appearance that he covered his lips and smiled: "You, you, although you say that your mouth is miserable, you don't see the slightest fear!" ”
"Isn't that in a good state of mind!" Su Luan said leisurely, and said casually, "By the way, my sister came to look for me, but is there something?" ”
"It was fine, but when I came, I happened to run into something." Ning Anyang said meaningfully.
"Oh?" Su Luan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said curiously, "What happened?" ”
"When I entered the mansion, I happened to see an acquaintance coming out of the courtyard of the general's wife, and you know this acquaintance. Do you want to guess? Ning Anyang squinted, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"I guess...... It should be Naxi and the county lord. Su Luan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling.
Ning Anyang was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "You guessed accurately!" ”
Su Luan smiled and said nothing, there are only a few people in Kyoto who are afraid that she can live freely. This Xihe should be the most disdainful of her, after all, as long as she lives, the marriage contract will always count. This stone blocking the way is naturally the most eye-catching.
