Chapter 123: It's not dirty enough, I'll help you
ο»Ώ
As one of the six major scholars, Xing Zhiqiang has always been the object of compliments and pursuits, and he keeps receiving gifts of all sizes. purple
This day is his 60th birthday, and he posted early to invite colleagues and friends and their wives and daughters to come to the door for a drink.
Of course, it is also to use this feast to set a good family affair for his youngest son.
Yun Xuan, as the prime minister, naturally also received the post.
On this day, Yun Xuan took Yun Qing and Yun Xiangrong to the Criminal Mansion together.
When they arrived at the Criminal Mansion, Yun Xuan was invited to sit in the main hall with some adults for a while, while Yun Xiangrong and Yun Qing went to the garden with the young young lady.
As soon as Yun Xiangrong entered inside, he saw Wen Xinlan standing in front of Wang Xuejing, pointing at her and saying something loudly, while surrounded by young ladies who were watching the show, whispering from time to time.
Wang Xuejing watched Wen Xinlan standing in front of her and kept accusing herself, trying her best to resist the urge to punch her away.
said with a cold face: "I said that I didn't hit you, that is, I didn't hit you, it wasn't something I did, I don't admit it." β
Although she obeyed her mother's words, Wang Xuejing tried her best not to conflict with others outside and cause trouble at home, but it was not something she did. She would never admit it.
She has her own backbone and can back down, but she will never be saddled with a trumped-up charge.
Wen Xinlan's face became even more angry when she heard this, pointing to a small stain on her body, her voice was so sharp that she changed her tone, and said, "If you didn't hit me, then why are my clothes dirty?" Did I stain my clothes myself to frame you? β
At this time, many ladies heard the movement here and came towards this side.
A middle-aged woman squeezed into the circle, walked up to Wang Xuejing, pulled her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Xuejing, what's the matter?" β
"You're the mother of this wild girl? She soiled my clothes, you say what to do. Wen Xinlan raised her chin and said coldly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madame Wang's face.
was accused of being a wild girl in front of her daughter, and anyone would be unable to get over it.
"I didn't, you bumped into it yourself." Wang Xuejing retorted loudly, her face suppressed anger, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Wen Xinlan's heart was cold when she saw this, Wang Xuejing's angry appearance was indeed terrifying.
However, Mrs. Wang grabbed Wang Xuejing's hand, smiled at Wen Xinlan with a white face, and said, "Since the little girl collided with Miss Wen, I will accompany you on behalf of the little girl, how about this matter be revealed?" β
A touch of surprise flashed in Wang Xuejing's eyes, "Mother, it's not my fault"
"Shut up for me." Mrs. Wang grabbed Wang Xuejing's hand hard, and the force was so strong that it seemed to be embedded in her bones.
Wang Xuejing gritted her teeth and endured it, but finally turned her head and didn't say anything more.
Wen Xinlan was disdainful when she saw this, and said arrogantly: "What are you, whoever gets dirty, let whoever apologize, she"
She was talking happily, but she suddenly screamed and jumped to her feet to dodge.
The onlookers saw that she was splashed with tea, and the tea leaves fell down her face, and instantly became a soup chicken.
Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, only to see Yun Xiangrong dressed in white and elegant, casually put the empty tea cup in his hand on the side of the table, and Yun walked towards this side lightly.
When Wang Xuejing saw Yun Xiangrong, she called out in surprise, "Sister Rong." β
Yun Xiangrong bowed his head lightly when he heard this, which was regarded as a response.
She knew that Wang Xuejing's father's official position was not very high, and her mother's temperament was soft, so she could not offend if she could, and she would inevitably be wronged by Wang Xuejing, and she had a lot of patience, but Wang Xuejing wanted to endure it, but she didn't have to.
"Yun Xiangrong, what are you crazy about?" Wen Xinlan finally wiped the water droplets from her face and glared at Yun Xiangrong angrily.
"Didn't you say your clothes were dirty? I don't think it's dirty enough, so I'll give you a hand. Yun Xiangrong smiled calmly, and the cloud was light and light.
Wen Xinlan was so angry that her face was distorted.
Her hands were clenched into fists, and her beautifully trimmed nails were deeply pierced in her palms, leaving circles and circles of marks. Almost oozing blood.
Yun Xiangrong didn't care about her angry and distorted face, and said lightly: "Miss Wen, Xue Jing has a life-saving grace for me, be polite to her when I see her in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." β
"Yun Xiangrong, don't forget, I am your sister-in-law who has not passed through the door, and if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of causing me to disagree with your brother?" Wen Xinlan trembled with anger and looked at Yun Xiangrong deadly.
It's Yun Xiangrong again, it's her again, why is it Yun Xiangrong who spoils her good things every time, and it's Yun Xiangrong who humiliates her every time.
Wen Xinlan really wanted Yun Xiangrong to die at this moment.
Yun Xiangrong died, she would not suffer every time she met her, and she would not fall behind every time.
"Sister-in-law?" Yun Xiangrong laughed softly as if he had heard something funny.
"Miss Wen has forgotten that a few years ago, you and Mrs. Wen came to the door in person and said that you were going to withdraw from the marriage? Now that I see my brother becoming a general, I come up with a shy face and talk about it, what about my face? "Yun Xiangrong this time, he really didn't leave any mercy, and when he spoke, he was really good.
Everyone who has always been optimistic about Wen Xinlan and Yun Qing's marriage or who didn't know about it was in an uproar.
The people who were dispelled because of Wen Xinlan's marriage to Yun Qing also moved their hearts.
Yun Qing is now a general, and he is young, if he can let his daughter marry him, it will definitely be a major event for the glory of his ancestors in the future.
The expressions of the crowd Wen Xinlan saw it and heard their whispers.
Wen Xinlan screamed: "Yun wants to let you talk nonsense." You just don't deal with me, deliberately making such nonsense. β
At this moment, Wen Xinlan's face turned red with anger, staring at Yun Xiangrong deadly, and she wanted to strangle her.
"Miss Wen, Princess Xiangrui, I don't know if the two of you can listen to the old man." At this moment, a voice came from outside the crowd, suppressing the fire that was ready to go.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Mrs. Xing, dressed in a gorgeous costume, walking in from outside the crowd with a serious face.
Everyone hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Mrs. Xing." β
Mrs. Xing nodded, then looked at Wen Xinlan and Yun Xiangrong, and said, "No matter why the two of you have a dispute, but today is my lord's birthday after all, and I hope that the two of you will temporarily suppress your anger, how about discussing any grievances after the banquet?" β
At this time, Wang Xuejing, who caused the dispute, became an inconsequential spectator. After all, her status is too low.
Yun Xiangrong nodded lightly and said to Mrs. Xing: "I just lost my temper, Mrs. Xing forgive me." As long as some people are not looking for trouble, I will not do anything to disturb the feast. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Xinlan lightly.
Wen Xinlan tried her best to suppress her anger, and with an embarrassment, she blessed her body, and said, "Mrs. Xing is right, Fang is the little girl, please forgive me." β
"It's a good thing that the two of you are willing to shake hands and make peace." Seeing this, Mrs. Xing finally showed a smile. He instructed the maidservant girl on the side: "Quickly take Miss Wen to the guest room to freshen up and change clothes." β
The maid responded and left with Wen Xinlan.
And with Wen Xinlan's departure, there was no good show to watch, and everyone dispersed one after another, gathering together in twos and threes, talking.
Yun Xiangrong also led Wang Xuejing to the corner.
Mrs. Wang thanked Yun Xiangrong, "Today's incident is really thanks to Princess Xiangrui for her help, otherwise I don't know how to step down." β
"Mrs. Wang doesn't have to be polite, Xue Jing is kind to me, and I have a similar temperament with her. If Mrs. Wang doesn't dislike it, how about the little girl call you aunt? Yun Xiangrong smiled at Mrs. Wang.
"This" Mrs. Wang was a little hesitant when she saw this, and she didn't know if Yun Xiangrong was sincere or polite.
She is also the daughter of a big family, because she fell in love with her current husband Wang Jing'an, Wang Jing'an was still a thousand-captain at that time, she was bent on him, which made the family angry, saying that she would break off the relationship if she wanted to marry.
She insisted on getting married.
Over the years, she has followed Wang Jing'an little by little until now, and she has seen a lot of warmth and coldness, and she has also learned to bend her knees to cater to her, and she will not cause trouble if she can not cause trouble.
And Wang Xuejing, although she is a girl, but her temperament follows Wang Jing'an, hearty and free, if it weren't for Wang Xuejing's obedience and patience, she really wouldn't dare to take Wang Xuejing around to participate in the banquet.
It's just that now that Wang Xuejing is about to get married, her daughter's family always has to get married, and she always has to find a good family for her daughter.
These feasts had to be made.
Wang Xuejing said unpolitely on the side: "Mother, don't do this, that." Sister Rong and I met late, and my daughter likes her sister. β
This sentence made Mrs. Wang quietly look at Yun Xiangrong's expression, and saw that she really did not show displeasure, so she smiled and said: "Thanks to the princess who does not dislike Xue Jing, I will ask the princess to be more tolerant in the future, this child is a little troublesome about familiar people." β
"Mother, what do you say?" Wang Xuejing's eyes widened on the side, she was unhappy with her acquaintance, and pushed Mrs. Wang out, "Mother, I'll talk to Sister Rong for a while, and you can go to those ladies for tea yourself." β
Mrs. Wang subconsciously glanced at Yun Xiangrong.
Yun Xiangrong nodded with a smile and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Xue Jing and I will not make her suffer." β
Mrs. Wang nodded, patted Wang Xuejing's head, and said, "Okay, my mother will leave by herself." You girl, you can't be dignified, you look at other princesses, that demeanor is outstanding. β
Wang Xuejing grinned, "My father will have a headache when he sees it." It's enough to have a gentle and graceful mother at home, and my sister and I are going to be generals when we grow up, and we will all protect my mother. β
Mrs. Wang was moved in her heart, but she reprimanded on her face: "Girls' families, what are you generals, you should find a good mother-in-law to marry, that is, filial piety to your mother." β
"Okay, okay, listen to my mother, go quickly." Wang Xuejing urged.
Mrs. Wang greeted Yun Xiangrong and left.
"Sister, don't be surprised, my mother is good at everything, it's just that she has a soft temperament, and she has been with my father for so long, and she is getting softer and softer." Wang Xuejing furrowed her eyebrows and pursed her lips.
Yun Xiangrong said with a smile: "I haven't seen your father, but I heard that he only married one of your mothers, first gave birth to you, and then gave birth to your sister in a row, and the family quarreled to ask him to take a concubine, but he refused, and then your mother added a younger brother to you, and the family was considered to have stopped." A man who can do this should be a man who stands up to the sky. Your father is good to your mother, and your mother will rely on him. β
Wang Xuejing nodded approvingly, her father's feeling was indeed so good that she was envious of others, she had been exposed to it since she was a child, and she was also very happy.
Wait, that's not right
"Sister, how do you know so much?" Wang Xuejing's eyes widened.
Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this, with starlight in his eyes, and a scene was revealed.
"What do you think the lady in the capital is doing when she is idle? Let's just say that there are some of these things, and after listening to them a lot, you will naturally know. Yun Xiangrong said.
"Isn't there no secret in every house?" Wang Xuejing frowned.
This kind of feeling that one's own affairs are often discussed by others is not good.
"It's not all. The situation of your family is also special, after all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and your father is also rare to be in love. Yun Xiangrong said this and sighed lightly.
In this world, it is not easy to get a single-minded person and never give up, so the affairs of the palace will be rumored, and now Wang Jing'an is already a Xuanfu envoy, which can be regarded as a small achievement. And the reason why Mrs. Wang and Wang Xuejing were treated lightly was also because others were jealous.
"That's it." Wang Xuejing nodded unceremoniously, with a little pride in her expression, "If I marry someone in the future, I will marry my father." β
"Speaking of which, Sister Rong, if your future husband takes another concubine," Wang Xuejing said, and suddenly stopped. What kind of mouth is she, she said. Sister Rong is about to get married, isn't she adding to the blockage when she says this!
Yun Xiangrong didn't care about her straightforwardness, and said: "If he dares to marry the woman next to him, let him marry him, I will invite myself to go down to the court at that time, and let him live with others." β
"I didn't know that my appearance was such a generous person." A cool voice sounded, and Yun Xiangrong's eyes widened suddenly.
From Wang Xuejing's pupils, you can see a man standing behind her with an indifferent face.
In fact, you don't need to look to feel the terrifying coldness coming from him.
Yun Xiangrong grunted and swallowed without a trace.
"Why are you here?" Yun Xiangrong turned around, looked at Huo Chen and asked.
Although she and Wang Xuejing went to the corner. But it's still in the women's area, Huo Chen, a man, what is he doing here.
Huo Chen looked at Yun Xiangrong, his eyes were dark.
He thought to himself that she had slipped over to see her, but he didn't want to, and he heard this.
He, a lady who has not passed through the door, is really generous, and it seems that he needs to talk to her about how to monopolize her husband.
Huo Chen reached out to hold Yun Xiangrong's hand, and said lightly, "Let's go." β
Yun Xiangrong: ""
This is in the mansion of the minister's book.,Is this really good?
No matter how unwilling Yun Xiangrong was in his heart, he was still taken away by Huo Chen.
And Wang Xuejing was ignored from beginning to end.
Watching Yun Xiangrong be taken away. Wang Xuejing was a little worried.
However, she also knew that Huo Chen was Yun Xiangrong's fiancΓ©, and it was difficult to catch up, so she had to sigh dejectedly.
She seems to have caused trouble for Sister Rong.
Wang Xuejing frowned and thought, picked a random direction, and walked to a secluded place.
She was impatient to deal with the ladies and ladies.
They don't look down on her, and she doesn't talk to them for more than half a sentence, and she is alone, but she is quiet.
On the other side, Yun Xiangrong was dragged by Huo Chen to the secluded place in the garden, and took her straight into the cave of the rockery.
Yun Xiangrong was imprisoned by Huo Chen between the cave wall and his chest, and the artificial cave wall was a little uneven. The hiccup hurt her back.
His hand was propped up on the cave wall, and in a pair of eyes that were deeper and darker than the night, her face was reflected, small, seemingly calm and calm, but there was some panic in the depths of his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Yun Xiang swallowed his saliva without a trace and asked.
He looked at her like this but didn't speak, although he was handsome, but it also gave her a very heavy pressure, so she had to open her mouth to break the silence.
"You just said that you want to invite yourself to the court? Do you want me to live with others? Really? Huo Chen asked unhurriedly. The voice is light, without the slightest bit of fire.
But he was like this, but he made Yun Xiangrong frightened.
She would rather face him who is indifferent, after all, she has seen too much with a cold face, so she will not be afraid.
His calm and smiling appearance really made her unbearable.
However, there is no doubt that he was angry.
Yun Xiangrong smiled: "I just told Xue Jing a joke, you took it seriously?" β
"Rongrong, you haven't married me yet, so you said such things, do you think I should be happy?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Joke, don't take it seriously, what are you doing like a big man!" Yun Xiangrong pretended to be displeased.
"Rongrong, since you have decided to marry me, then you are destined to be my wife in this life. Excuse yourself? Are you still addicted? Or do you think I'll be as stupid as Zhou Mu to let go? Huo Chen's words were full of displeasure.
Yun Xiangrong heard this, but his expression turned cold, and said: "How affectionate are men in the world, how many can be a couple for a lifetime?" Is my father, who loves my mother so much, isn't he forced to accept a Jiang Hanyu? You are the prince, and you will definitely be watched and favored in the future, if the emperor gives you a marriage. How do you refuse? β
This is what Yun Xiangrong is worried about.
She knew that there was a treacherous turmoil around him, and she also knew the dilemma they might face in the future, but she still couldn't help but want to get closer and want to give it a try.
But now that Huo Chen is persecuting her, some things are simply made clearer.
"I don't ask much for a man, but one heart is enough. Since we are talking about this now, then let's make an agreement, if you really have difficulties in the future and have to marry, then you will let go and let me leave at that time, okay? Yun Xiang said in a low voice.
Huo Chen looked at her. The little smile in his eyes faded, and he looked at her silently.
Just when Yun Xiangrong thought that he would not make a move, Huo Chen suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips, domineering and fiery.
Yun Xiangrong didn't respond, just looked at him silently.
There was a sudden pain in my lips, and I immediately tasted a fishy sweet taste in my mouth.
Huo Chen let go of her at this time, and there was red blood on his lips.
He actually bit her.
Yun Xiangrong frowned unhappily.
Huo Chen stretched out his hand to brush the wound on her lips, his expression cold but stubborn and determined.
"I don't want you to feel a pain, this brain always loves to think cranky." Huo Chen opened his mouth lowly.
Yun Xiangrong snorted and didn't say anything.
Huo Chen reached out and held her in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Since I have identified you, that is you, and I don't want others." In the future, if the emperor gives marriage, I can push it, and if I can't push it, I will think about it, you can rest assured that I will not marry the woman next to me, so that you will be troubled by this. β
To say that it is false to hear this and not be moved.
But Yun Xiangrong couldn't be elated.
The most unbelievable thing in this world is the love words of men and women when they are in love.
Oaths can be made easily, but as the days go by, the person will always change, that is, the same. There will also be compulsion.
Just like her father and her mother, they love each other so much, and they are not ruined by Jiang Hanyu.
It's that his father has never touched Jiang Hanyu, and Yun Jie is not his father's child, so what?
Something has happened, and no one can change it. Her mother was also killed and could not be reborn!
Yun Xiangrong thought like this, but he still reached out and hugged him back, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I believe you." β
Regardless of the future, she just wants to live in the present. This life. She gambled again with heart and love, betting on her and Huo Chen's future.
If she wins, she and Huo Chen will live in both houses, watch the flowers bloom and fall, and be at ease.
If she loses, she and Huo Chen will not see each other, each taking care of people's feelings and being happy.
Huo Chen hugged her tightly and didn't say anything more.
He knew what he wanted in his heart, and no matter how much he said, it was better to show her what he actually did.
Anyway. They still have a lifetime to stay together, and he can always let her see his true heart.
Penal Mansion Rooms.
Wen Xinlan was served by her subordinates to freshen up and put on a new set of clothes, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot refreshed.
The embarrassment that Yun Xiangrong poured from beginning to end with a cup of tea was finally gone.
But thinking about what happened before, I am still very unwilling.
Wen Xinlan walked out of the courtyard and went to the front hall, and as soon as she arrived at the garden, she called someone to block the way.
Looking at the visitor, Wen Xinlan waved her hand and signaled her maid to stay away.
"Lan'er has seen the criminal son." Wen Xinlan bowed in a low voice.
However, the person in front of him pulled Wen Xinlan into his arms, and looked at her angrily, "What did you just call me?" Son-in-law? β
"Yunping. I'm joking with you, don't be like this, let go of me first, okay? Wen Xinlan looked pained, and frowned and spoke.
The force in Xing Yunping's hand relaxed, but he didn't completely let go of her, "Kidding? I'm afraid not. I heard that you want to fulfill your marriage contract with Yun Qing, I'm afraid you are deliberately estranged from me. His voice was tinged with indignation and coldness.
Wen Xinlan's heart jumped, but her face was disgusted: "Look at what you said, don't you know my thoughts?" After all these years, you don't know me at all? β
With tears in her eyes, she looked very weak and pitiful.
Xing Yunping looked at her like this, his heart softened, and he said in a low voice: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't listen to those people's nonsense." β
After a pause, he said again: "Now that Yun Qing has returned, when do you plan to go to Yun Mansion to withdraw from your relatives, and then marry me openly?" β
Wen Xinlan felt a sigh in her heart when she heard this.
Retirement? She is now thinking about how to marry into Yun Mansion, even if Yun Xiang has lost her face so many times, she is not willing to back down, how can she withdraw from her family at this moment?
But although she thought like this in her heart, her face was embarrassed, and she said: "As soon as he came back, I told my mother about it, but my father disagreed, saying that this family matter was decided in the mother's womb and could not be withdrawn." β
Wen Xinlan knew in her heart that although she was thinking about Yun Qing, whether she could succeed or not was another matter, Xing Yunping in front of her was extremely obsessed with her, and she was the little son of the Ministry of Shangshu, before she got married, she must not let him run away.
