Chapter 221: A Tooth for a Tooth

There are no impermeable walls in the capital, not to mention that Concubine Shu specially asked people to release the news, which has become the talk of many people after tea and dinner.

King An has always been uninhibited, and he made the lord of Mingzhu County wait for many years, but in the end it was empty. made a little-known woman with a humble family background become Princess An, which was the target of everyone.

Such a marriage that is not in the right place is originally a little more snooping and speculation, and I don't know how many people are waiting to see the excitement, but now it is not as they intended.

It's just that most of the others watched the fire from the other side, and they were afraid that they didn't dare to provoke the fire. Such a "commendable courage" as Mrs. Tong is really rare in Beijing.

When Mrs. Tong's words fell, Qi Simin's face was also a little unsightly.

She naturally heard about Bai Yanran being punished by the queen for kneeling in Fengyi Palace two days ago, and this matter is now being spread in Beijing, but she doesn't want Mrs. Tong to embarrass people with her shortcomings like this.

Qi Simin reluctantly smiled: "Third Mrs. Tong is serious, but she is a new girl, she is inevitably a little flustered when she sees such a scene, and it is not a big deal." Since Princess An doesn't care about it, why should Mrs. Tong be embarrassed. ”

Seeing that Bai Yanran was still silent, Mrs. Tong only thought that she had the upper hand, where was she willing to forgive, and said more and more proudly: "What the princess said is not right, it is precisely because she is a new girl that she must set up good rules." lest one by one not know what his identity is, have no rules, and do not know the etiquette. ”

No one could hear the insinuations in these words, and immediately looked at Bai Yanran, waiting to see her reaction. How do you know that Bai Yanran's face was not shocked, and she looked at Mrs. Tong San calmly and asked, "Then according to Mrs. Tong's opinion, how should this girl be punished?" ”

Mrs. Tong was dismissed by Bai Yanran at the Yongqiu banquet in the past, and after she went back, she was said a few words by Mrs. Tong, and she always held a grudge. Now that she has won a game in front of the public, she suddenly feels comfortable physically and mentally, and she said like a gift: "Thinking that she is a first-time offender, it is just a matter of dragging it down and playing twenty boards, even she has a long memory, and knows who should not be offended." ”

Bai Yanran also nodded and agreed: "What Mrs. Tong said makes sense, since this is the case, then follow what Mrs. Tong said." ”

The girl who lost her hand knelt on the ground and trembled as she listened to the two of them talking about her fate, crying like a tearful person when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to plead.

She knew that she was afraid that she would have to suffer a good meal today, for fear that she would lose her errand, and she regretted more and more that she had been very careful, why was she still so uncompromising.

Qi Simin was a little unbearable when she heard this, but she heard Bai Yanran continue: "Princess, let's ask someone to pull Mrs. Tong's girl down." ”

Third Lady Tong was stunned, and before she could speak, Bai Yanran said coldly: "Although this princess has a rank, Third Lady Tong should also salute when she sees her." But after all, you are an elder, and it doesn't matter if you forget it for a while.

But the girl next to you is also so rude, no rules and no rules, so that others will think that it was taught by Mrs. Tong, which has ruined your reputation. ”

The princess is different from the courtier's wife, she has a rank, don't say that these courtiers' families, even the courtiers have to salute routinely when they see them. But Mrs. Tong San didn't look down on Bai Yanran, but she was menacing, and she forgot about this stubble for a while.

She has always regarded herself as the queen's younger brother and sister, and every time there is a banquet, she must be rewarded by the queen with a little jade ruyi. Jeweled hairpins are worn as a sign of grace. I feel that the prince and King An still have to call themselves uncles, where do they care about this.

However, when Bai Yanran pointed it out at this time, she had no way to refute it. If the relationship between the two is close, naturally there is no need to stick to these false courtesies, only respect the elders and the young. However, if Bai Yanran had to care about etiquette, Mrs. Tong San would really be speechless.

The girl next to Mrs. Tong knelt down with a "poof", and saw that her master blushed and didn't say a word, knowing that she was a pond fish that had been affected. She was weak on her own, and she was suspicious that Princess An saw Fang Cai's own small movements.

"The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life. It was the slave and maid who were confused for a while, and forgot to say hello to the princess, and asked the princess to disturb the slave and maid this time, and the slave and maid will definitely not dare next time. ”

Bai Yanran looked at it coldly, and her heart was clear. Originally, she was just suspicious, after all, the matter was too coincidental, and the girl bumped into her impartially, and Mrs. Tong San even pinched it and sneered.

Now looking at the weakness on this girl's face, there is nothing I don't understand. Since Mrs. Tong San has to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, she naturally won't let people bully her.

Bai Yanran sighed: "Alas, it's not that I don't want to spare you once, it's just that you also heard what your master said." You must make good rules, so that you can see who you are, so that you will not know what is wrong in the future. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tong's face turned from red to blue, Bai Yanran said with pity: "Your wife said that it was the first offense, and it was just a twenty-big board." ”

Mrs. Tong's third lady trembled when she heard this, and the twenty boards would cost her half of her life. She knew that Bai Yanran was competing with her own wife, so she had to turn her head and look at Mrs. Tong San pleadingly.

Mrs. Tong San gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say a word. If the girl is really beaten today, she will be slapping her face, but if she is asked to intercede with Bai Yanran, she will never be able to pull this face.

Seeing this, Qi Simin hurriedly came out to play a round, pulled Bai Yanran's cuffs, and said: "Okay, okay, it's just a little thing, where is it worth such a stirring up of the people, don't sweep everyone's interest." ”

Although everyone longed for the two to quarrel to be beautiful and lively, they naturally couldn't say it, so they all persuaded them when they heard it. Mrs. Tong had a good face and knew that she couldn't get a good spot, so she went down the steps and led the trembling girl back to her banquet.

Bai Yanran was also absent-minded, and she didn't want to entangle with her too much. She was going to go to her aunt Xu to inquire about her mother's condition, but Xu was surrounded by a group of ladies and women like a moon, and she couldn't take time to look.

Finally got to Xi San, Qi Simin knew that Bai Yanran was worried, so she didn't keep her anymore, and asked someone to prepare medicine to replenish her body and take it to the Bai family.

After getting into the carriage, Su Xin told Angkor to go to Bai's house. Angkor didn't dare to say much when he saw the princess's face, and silently drove around, narrowly brushing the carriage behind him. Fortunately, the horseman was also a kind man, and waved his hand at Angkor unconcernedly.

The carriage made its way through the bustling streets, gradually becoming deserted. Most of these areas are the residences of Beijing officials, and when they close the door, they are naturally not more lively than ordinary people.

Seeing that he was about to turn another street and reach Bai's house, a person suddenly sprang out of the oblique side, standing straight in front of the carriage. Angkor was taken aback and hurriedly stopped the carriage, but fortunately it did not hit anyone.

But with such a sudden stop, the horses neighed in displeasure, and the people in the carriage were not happy. Su Xin covered her sore head and lifted the curtain to see it, and asked, "Angkor, what's wrong?" ”

Angkor was also shocked, turned his head and replied: "There is a person in front of me, I will go down to take a look, you can protect the princess and don't come down." ”

The prince went out on a business trip, and the princess originally just went to the prince's mansion for a banquet, so she didn't wait for the guards to come out. At this time, the alley was deserted, and this person dared to stop the car like this, and Angkor was really a little stunned for a while.

However, as soon as Angkor jumped out of the car, the man in front of him came over, and Angkor was about to scold him for being bold, so he heard the man say: "Is it Princess Ann in the carriage?" ”

Bai Yanran, who was in the car, heard the person's voice, lifted the curtain to see it, and looked at it carefully for a while before recognizing it.

"Zuo Gongzi?"

It's no wonder that Angkor subconsciously regarded him as a villain, but Zuo Cheng'an's disheveled and unkempt appearance at the moment is really difficult to remind people of the son of a family. Even if it is a change to someone else, it is difficult to think of the person in front of him and Zuo Chengan, the "Danqing Holy Hand".

Zuo Cheng'an saw Bai Yanran, his originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurried forward excitedly, but was blocked by Angkor in front of the carriage.

"This son, what is there to say here."

Although the princess called her son, Angkor was still suspicious and did not dare to let her get close to the princess. Zuo Chengan didn't care, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, I've been looking for an opportunity to ask you, where did Shu Yue go?" Why haven't I heard from her for so long? ”

At first, Su's identity was revealed, but Zuo Xiang still deliberately concealed it, and even Zuo Chengan and Zuo Jinyun did not reveal anything.

However, later Su suddenly died in prison, and Mrs. Zuo's maiden family happened to have someone in Dali Temple, so she somehow got the news, and the matter naturally couldn't be hidden.

Zuo Cheng'an is a scholar and a humble gentleman. Although he is the son of a concubine, he is also the only son of Zuo Xiang, and he has always been smooth.

Now that he has lost his mother, he has to accept that his mother is actually a meticulous work sent by a chaotic minister and thief, and the blow he received can be imagined.

However, after the loss of his mother's injury, he was shocked to realize that there had been no news of Shu Yue for a long time. But his father has now turned his face with King An, and Zuo Chengxin also has a mustard in his heart, and he is reluctant to visit again.

Although the emperor did not implicate his father because of this, he was no longer as reused as before, and with the change in the court situation, people became more and more silent.

On the contrary, his sister-in-law Zuo Weiyu was about to be pointed out by the emperor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a side concubine, and his mother-in-law had been pressed by her mother for many years, and now she finally raised her eyebrows and became more and more unconcealed.

Zuo Chengan is okay, in the end, he is the only son in the family, and Mrs. Zuo doesn't dare to do too much, but she is not so polite to her concubine Zuo Jinyun. Zuo Chengan is not good at conflict with his mother-in-law, and the woman's method is to hide needles in the cotton, so that people can't pick out the thorns.

Zuo Cheng'an has been a mess these days, and then he was really worried, so he sent someone to guard the gate of the palace, but he never had a chance, knowing that Dasheng was later kicked out of the palace.

Dasheng didn't know much, only said that Shu Yue had committed a crime and was kicked out. Zuo Chengan was worried, so he sent someone out to look for someone, for fear that Shu Yue, a weak woman, would be alone outside.

However, this matter was known to Mrs. Zuo, and she added oil and vinegar to Zuo Xiang. Zuo Chengan was reprimanded by Zuo Xiang, and seeing that Zuo Chengan was still stubborn, he simply locked him up.

But Zuo Chengan was annoyed wherever he could, so he simply went on a hunger strike again. In the end, Zuo Xiang had no choice, and said that Shu Yue was also involved in the case of Xizuo, and now he is being imprisoned in Dali Temple.

Zuo Chengan learned that it was difficult to sit still, he naturally refused to believe it, but after thinking about it, there was no way to save people.

At this time, he remembered that Princess An had taken more care of Shu Yue in the past, so he asked someone to guard King An's mansion, and today he learned that Bai Yanran was traveling alone, so he ran away to block people, and wanted to intercede for Shu Yue.
