Chapter 421: Intent
Xiao Rui looked at Xie Mulin and said word by word: "Second Miss Xie, you and I have dealt with each other several times, and we know each other's temperaments. Now that we don't have much time, why don't we go around in circles? How about being open and honest? ”
Xie Mulin also sat up straight, and said, "How do you want to be open and honest?" ”
Xiao Rui thought for a while: "There is no third person here, and I am not afraid of leaking secrets." After Ma Yurong was ten years old, she rarely interacted with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and her parents were very protective of her, so what could she do to discuss privately with Her Royal Highness, but she was taboo for others to hear? I have been away from the capital for less than half a year, but before leaving, I also had some friendship with the Third Highness, and if he has anything inconvenient for people to know outside the palace, most of them will not hide it from me. If any of them have anything to do with the Ma family, I can only think that not long ago, the third son of the Ma family made a marriage alliance with Miss Zhao. ”
Xie Mulin said in his heart that he was indeed an insider. Hmph, since you know, why didn't you dissuade it in the first place?
Xiao Rui didn't know what she was thinking, and was still conducting her own analysis: "This kind of thing, I shouldn't mention it in front of people, after all, that Miss Zhao family is also a poor person." His Royal Highness said that he couldn't help himself, but he knew what the young lady was going to do, so he still took the initiative to lean in, and it was not a gentleman's move to say anything. I still wonder a lot, was he sincere? Is it hard to help yourself, or is it ...... What about ill-intentioned intentions? ”
Xie Mulin vaguely felt that something was wrong, this intercepted the embroidery that Zhao Ying dedicated to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in advance, and left it for future coercion, it was clearly a calculating, what does it have to do with sincerity? He ran to harass a girl who might become his sister-in-law, could it be that he really liked her?
She looked at Xiao Rui: "How can it be sincere?" His Royal Highness rejected the marriage of the Zhao family in front of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yongning. He had bad intentions from the beginning, right? scared the girl at a loss, and couldn't tell anyone, what kind of sincerity is this? Don't insult those two words! ”
Xiao Rui blinked: "Miss Zhao told you, is she scared?" ”
Xie Mulin tilted his head: "What, don't you think she shouldn't be afraid?" ”
Of course you shouldn't be afraid! Because at that time, Zhao Ying and the third prince should have been in love!
No, the third prince may have other plans, but Zhao Ying was obsessed with the third prince at that time, and his words and deeds could not be fake! Otherwise, she would not have risked being discovered and had met the third prince in private more than once.
Xiao Rui quickly reacted, the brothers and sisters of the Xie family, or Ma Yurong, the youngest daughter of the Ma family who told them the secret, may have heard Zhao Ying's one-sided words, in order to defend herself, she claimed that she was not tempted by the three princes, so the original private relationship between the two would become unilateral calculations and harassment by the three princes!
Ma Yurong is the sister-in-law of Zhao Ying's future husband, if you want Ma Yurong to know about her past with the third prince, it is self-defeating to tell the truth, Zhao Ying can only prove her innocence and innocence to ensure that she will not be rejected by her husband and in-laws after marrying into the Ma family!
Even if Zhao Ying didn't want to deceive others, the people around her wouldn't let her be stupid. And for the sake of the reputation of the Zhao family, Zhao Ying will not let herself be shamelessly charged. After the third prince first betrayed his treachery and almost put the Zhao family in a predicament, Zhao Ying's affection for him, I'm afraid there is nothing left. As a result, the "truth" that Ma Yurong knew, the three princes became villains, and Zhao Ying was innocent and unmoved.
However, Ma Yurong probably didn't fully believe Zhao Ying, so she privately asked the Xie family to contact her family, and entrusted Xiao Rui, who was in Huyin, to give a message to the third prince.
She didn't really want to say anything to the third prince at all, this sentence was actually for Xiao Rui!
Because Ma Yurong knows that Xiao Rui knows many things about the three princes, maybe he also knows what is going on between the three princes and Zhao Ying. Then, as long as you can see Xiao Rui's reaction after knowing that sentence, you can roughly guess that Zhao Ying's statement is somewhat true.
Xiao Rui suddenly said to Xie Mulin: "The day before yesterday, a steward of the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Yongning came, saying that he was planning to open a shop in Huyin County to add an industry to the little master of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. I thought, I'm leaving, what can I do for them? Under the banner of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, what other place outside the capital dares to offend him without taking a long look?
"However, our noble concubine has always been committed to making friends with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and our lady is even more attentive, so I have no reason to refuse such a small matter, so I personally went to the county seat, and asked the county magistrate to take more care of the steward. After thanking me, the steward did not go directly into the city, but rented a room in a nearby farmer's house, saying that he was tired from running around and needed to rest and wait for the arrival of the men. ”
He paused: "In the past two days, he has come to talk to me almost every day, and he has also sent a lot of things to the brothers in the guard, which is very intimate, and everyone is happy to be friendly with him." ”
Xie Mulin originally didn't quite understand what he was going to say when he suddenly mentioned the steward of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but slowly, he came back to his senses: "This steward ...... Could it be that Miss Ma specially sent to keep an eye on you? "If it's just to deliver a letter to Xiao Rui, why don't you just take care of the matter, but thank your family? Is there any special purpose in preparing for this?
The Xie family is responsible for delivering the letter, and the steward is responsible for ...... Contact and stalking?
Xie Mulin understood a little. Ma Yurong wanted to know how Xiao Rui would react after receiving the Xie family's request? What could she tell from Xiao Rui's reaction? Could it be ...... She didn't quite believe the words of Zhao Ying's master and servant?
No wonder Xie Yinghui made such a big turn to find Xiao Rui to help with a sentence, the point is that Ma Yurong wants to inquire about the real relationship between Zhao Ying and the third prince from Xiao Rui!
Xie Mulin sighed: "Such a big bend...... I don't know if my eldest sister doesn't know the inside story. ”
Xiao Rui said lightly: "Since Second Miss Xie knows what is going on, she must have told Sister Ling in private." Miss Ma didn't even hide such a secret thing from Sister Ling, so naturally she would not deceive her about the true intention of this sentence. Anyway...... This matter has nothing to do with the Xie family, you are just saying a word, and the follow-up matters will be handled by the henchmen of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. "If the Xie family doesn't know, how can the steward directly find the Xie family's old mansion?
Xie Mulin was a little worried: "In this way, more and more people know about this, and I don't know if it will be leaked." ”
Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "She is also angry in her heart, right?" After all, it was her brother's wife who was about to marry into the door, and if there was anything wrong, how could she put her mind at ease? However, she is not a stupid person, the one who can be sent out to do things must be a confidant, and this person doesn't need to know any inside information, just report all the words and deeds I have to Ma Yurong after I promised your brothers and sisters to ask for help, and that's it. ”
Xie Mulin snorted: "Even if that henchman won't tell anyone else about this, won't he tell the eldest princess?" As long as the eldest princess notices and calls the people around Miss Ma to ask, she can guess half of the matter. ”
Xiao Rui said: "Therefore, this matter must be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more people affected." He looked at Xie Mulin, "Miss Zhao will not mention such a private matter to her husband's sister-in-law for no reason, unless Ma Yurong finds out the truth." You mentioned Lianzhu in the words you asked me to carry, and I also know what Lianzhu does. I want to know, did His Royal Highness do something bad to Miss Zhao so that Ma Yurong found out? ”
