Chapter 224: Something Wrong
"It's nothing," Chu Junlan came back to his senses, quietly suppressed his thoughts, and held Xu's hand instead, "Let my mother worry." Today's events are really sweating. ”
"Isn't it," Xu sighed and lowered his voice, "You said that the struggle between Ying Guifei and Shu Guifei wanted to involve you, I looked at the fourth lady of Gege's hometown at first and was a little suspicious, but then I realized that I was wrong to blame her." ”
Chu Junlan couldn't help but secretly admire, worthy of being a person from a big family who has been a housewife for so many years, and his sensitivity to some things is beyond ordinary people.
"Actually, what my mother said is right, I do suspect Ge Shuyu in this matter." Chu Junlan told him how he was led to the Plum Garden, how he met the second prince again, and took the opportunity to tell Mrs. Hanmei about it.
"I didn't expect it to be like this...... Xu smacked his tongue when he heard it, and after thinking about it, he understood, his face was flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't imagine that the daughter of the dignified family will make such efforts in order to stir up the family affairs of other people's families!" If it weren't for the fact that you have connections and a skill, wouldn't you want to exonerate Concubine Shu this time? What should the prince of the king do if he cares about this matter? ”
"Mother, don't be angry. How can it be good to be angry and bad? This marriage has passed the emperor's clear road, and it is not said that it can be changed, not to mention that the mother and daughter of the Ge family have not succeeded now? Don't be angry about this, it's not worth it. ”
"That won't do! It's your ability to dodge, it doesn't mean they haven't done this despicable thing! How can my daughter be better than them, how can she be bullied and suppressed by them? Xu gritted his teeth, "Sister Lan, don't be afraid, I'll go back to discuss with your father, I don't believe that their family dares to be shameless!" ”
Chu Junlan's heart was moved, Xu Shiken treated her like this, people's hearts are made of meat, how could she not be moved? Even if there is no blood relationship, she still likes such a loving mother from the bottom of her heart.
"Mother, don't be angry." Chu Junlan hugged Xu's arm and shook it, his head resting on her shoulder, "With you and my father here, I can't suffer a loss, let them go wishful thinking, anyway, the last person to lose is not me, if you are angry, won't you fall for their tricks?" It's too much of a loss, it's not worth it. ”
Xu's eyebrows softened, and he touched Chu Junlan's head, and his anger disappeared a lot. Chu Junlan is an independent and self-reliant girl, although she is younger than her two sons, she is more capable than those two.
Although they became mother and daughter because of the emperor's words, she was also worried, afraid that Chu Junlan's disobedience to discipline would stir up the miasma of smoke and smoke in the family, but after getting along for a long time, her thoughts have changed.
Previously, she treated her as if she were her own daughter. Now, she is her biological daughter.
"Good boy, you are a sensible child, you don't have to take this matter to heart, you don't have to worry, your father and I will naturally find a way to cook, you just have to do what you have to do."
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile: "Okay, anyway, my daughter just eats and drinks." ”
Xu sneered at her relaxed tone.
After returning home, Chu Junlan sent the old lady back to Chunhui Garden with his mother and aunt, and everyone dispersed after a few gossips.
When Chu Junlan went back to the bedroom to rest, Xu went to the study in the outer courtyard.
"Girl, Madame went to the study in the outer courtyard for an afternoon, and the slave maid heard that Madame ate dinner with the prince in the study of the outer courtyard." Zi Yan waited for Chu Junlan to take a bath, and added hot water to the bath bucket with a wooden spoon.
Chu Junlan pulled his hair up high, closed his eyes leisurely against the edge of the bathtub, and said with a smile: "You, the news is still very well-informed." ”
"As for you, where can the slave not have a snack? You said that when Grandpa Guo returned home, he only stayed in the house, at most he only talked to the third master and Miss Xi, what did his old man think? The slave maid also heard that Grandpa Guo will return to Zhuangzi in the next few days. ”
Chu Junlan shook his head and said softly, "Things can't just look at the surface, such as the Guogong Mansion, what the Guogong Mansion does, it is impossible for the Guogong to do anything just because of his own preferences, we don't need to be careful, we just need to understand this." ”
Zi Yan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Anyway, the slave just needs to listen more and talk less." ”
Chu Junlan smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly opened his eyes, got up, grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his body.
At the same time, there was a slight knock in the rear window.
"Ah, isn't it the son of the world?" Zi Yan smacked her tongue, "Why did you come so early this time?" ”
Chu Junlan listened carefully, his tense body relaxed, and said, "Xu knows what happened when I entered the palace today." You go and let the son in, don't light the lamp in the bedroom, and let him wait for me for a while. ”
"Got it." Zi Yan nodded, walked out of the clean room around the screen, walked quickly to the back window of the bedroom, and pushed the window open. Standing outside, it was really Xiao Xu, who was dressed in black.
Zi Yan let Xiao Xu in sideways, looked around carefully, hurriedly closed the window, and then blew the light.
The room was plunged into darkness, the orange light of the clean room was faintly through, and the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs and flowers.
Xiao Xu listened to the sound of water dripping in the clean room, couldn't help lowering his head, and sat on the rose chair in the corner of the bedroom without saying a word, his face was expressionless, his temperament was cold, and no one should enter.
Zi Yan stuck out her little tongue and hurriedly went in to serve Chu Junlan to dress and comb her hair.
In a moment, there was the sound of light footsteps. Xiao Xu raised his head and saw Chu Junlan's delicate figure. The orange light behind her plated her whole body with a faint soft light, and the smell of medicine and flowers in the water vapor became more and more intense as she approached, making Xiao Xu's Adam's apple roll up and down.
"You're here." Chu Junlan sat down opposite him, tilted his head with a smile and said, "I thought you would be very busy today, why are you here now?" ”
Xiao Xu pursed his lips and said after a while: "I know a little about the things in the palace, and I also found the bought chamberlain." What are you going to do with it? ”
Chu Junlan was surprised: "So fast? ”
"Hmm."
"It's taken a lot of relationships and a lot of effort, right?"
"It's fine. If you want to say this, this person can interrogate him and make a fuss. ”
It was a chamberlain in the palace, but Xiao Xu dared to say that he wanted to interrogate.
In any case, Xiao Xu's refusal to protect herself and wronged her made her very happy.
"No need. Actually, I know who did it. There's no need to dwell on it. ”
Xiao Xu was surprised: "You know? ”
"Hmm. Today's events can be analyzed from the clues, and it can be seen that it is the ghost of Gege's hometown, and the purpose is ......" Chu Junlan stretched out his voice, leaned over, and approached Xiao Xu and said, "Of course, they are to make Concubine Shu disgusted with me, so as to make your father reconsider your marriage." Shizi, how is it, what do you think? ”
Xiao Xu pursed his lips and held back a sentence for a long time: "I think...... There's something wrong with his family! ”
