Chapter 43: Who Said I Was Away?
Tao Yao only wanted to grow three heads and six arms at this moment, and stopped Ruan. However, Ruan had already seen through her tricks, and asked Qiu Lian to stop her first. Qiu Lian didn't look a few years older than herself, but she didn't expect her strength to be so great, no matter how hard Tao Yao tried, she couldn't break free.
Tao Yao could only watch Ruan Shi approach the door of the eldest lady's room, and reached out to push it open. Tao Yao didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, she closed her eyes in fear, and her eyelashes kept trembling.
Ruan Shi stood in front of Su Wanqing's door with some pride, stretched out his delicately trimmed nails, and was about to push Su Wanqing's door. Just as she was about to touch the door, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing standing here?" ”
Tao Yao opened her eyes suddenly and looked over with some excitement.
Ruan Shi also lowered his hand, turned around and hurriedly saluted: "Master, you are back." “
Su Jianlian's tall figure appeared in front of everyone, followed by a personal servant. Su Jianlian hadn't taken off the palace clothes he was wearing to attend the banquet, and it seemed that he had come here as soon as he got out of the carriage.
Ruan Shi looked at Su Jianlian, who was in a hurry, and inevitably felt a little jealousy in his heart. What's so good about this Su Wanqing, let the master go straight here as soon as he comes back, so what is she, as his wife?
Although Ruan's heart was very uncomfortable, it did not show anything on the surface. She glanced at Tao Yao, who had a somewhat excited expression, and smiled coldly in her heart. This girl seems to have really turned her elbow outward, and now she is maintaining Su Wanqing like this, and she doesn't know what ecstasy she has been poured into, so she thinks about her so much that she doesn't even listen to her own words.
However, she really thought that when the master came, Su Wanqing would be fine? This time it wasn't her hand, if no one knew about it, unless she did it. The opportunity to be sent to the door, unless Ruan Shi is a fool, how can he not make good use of it?
Ruan Shi has already made up her mind at this moment, no matter what, she has to let everyone know that Su Wanqing has a big deal, she doesn't believe it, she is not in the room so late, where else can Su Wanqing go! I can't say, I'm going out to steal a man.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Su Jianlian frowned slightly, and repeated again: "What's the matter?" Can Qing'er be in the room? I heard that she was unwell and left the palace banquet early, but I just found out. So as soon as I came back, I rushed here. “
Ruan Shi put down his thoughts, and was not in a hurry to answer immediately, but asked softly: "Since the master is back, presumably Yue'er is also back, can tonight's palace banquet go well?" “
It's okay that Ruan didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, Su Jianlian immediately remembered the embarrassing things Su Wanyue had done, and his face immediately sank.
"You're embarrassed to say it! Look at the good daughter you taught, it's all shame on me! “
When Ruan Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened at the palace banquet. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Yue'er didn't have long eyes, who did she provoke? She's still young, so it's inevitable that she's not sensible......"
Su Jianlian was upset when he thought of his second daughter, he waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't mention it, you go and ask her yourself!" In the future, you have to discipline her more, if she is so embarrassed before she arrives, how can she marry in the future? “
Su Jianlian's words were a little heavy, and Ruan's face was already white. She thought that her daughter was so sensible, and she had told her in every possible way before going out, she shouldn't forget it.
Now that I heard my lord say this, did Yue'er really cause something big? But Su Jianlian didn't want to talk about it, and Ruan didn't dare to touch his moldy head at this time, so he could only secretly suppress his anxiety, just waiting to go back and ask his daughter again.
Su Jianlian no longer paid attention to Ruan's family, saw Tao Yao on the side, raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you Qing'er's personal maid?" Why don't you serve her by the eldest lady's side? ”
When Su Jianlian looked over, Qiu Lian had already let go of Tao Yao and stood aside, as if nothing had happened.
Tao Yao stood in place, not knowing what to say for a moment. She muttered, "This ......"
If Tao Yao wanted to ask Su Jianlian for help before, she didn't dare to say it in front of Ruan's face at this moment. If you let the lord know that the eldest lady is missing, and she may be injured, the lord must not go crazy? He loves the eldest lady so much, and he definitely won't let this matter develop like this.
When the time comes, sooner or later, this matter will be exposed, and the reputation of the eldest lady will definitely be implicated. After all, there is also a Ruan Shi who is eyeing him closely.
Tao Yao's hesitant appearance aroused Su Jianlian's suspicions. He looked at the little maid suspiciously, and asked again, "Could it be that something happened to Qing'er?" Why don't you speak, is this question so difficult to answer? ”
Without waiting for Tao Yao to say anything, Ruan Shi had already accosted him and said, "Yes, master, the concubine just wanted to go in and see how the eldest lady was doing." When I came back tonight, Tao Yao told me that the eldest lady was unwell, but she didn't let the concubine go in to visit, and the concubine didn't know what Tao Yao was thinking......
After a pause, Ruan said with some grievances: "No matter how the eldest lady views the concubine, the concubine still treats the eldest lady as her own daughter. How has the concubine treated the eldest lady over the years, and the lord doesn't know, how could the concubine hurt the eldest lady? In order to make the eldest lady better, the concubine also made a lot of decoctions to nourish the body, but Tao Yao didn't let the concubine into the room anyway, didn't she want the eldest lady to get better soon? ”
This big hat was buttoned down, and Tao Yao complained bitterly. She was just a little maid, soft-spoken, and she didn't dare to refute it straight. This Ruan is really shameless, and he actually carried all the pots on his back. After she said this, she Taoyao became a big villain who had two hearts for her master. When the time comes, she will have to shed her skin if she doesn't die!
When Su Jianlian heard Ruan Shi say this, his sharp eyes swept towards Tao Yao, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?" Tell me, why don't you let her into the room to see the eldest lady? Did you do something to Qing'er? ”
was stared at by Su Jianlian's sharp gaze, where could Tao Yao stand it, and immediately cold sweat came down. She didn't care about wiping her sweat, and she didn't know what to say, so she couldn't tell the master, because the eldest lady was not in the room! At that time, she will definitely die faster because she didn't take care of the eldest lady!
Ruan's no longer plans to let Tao Yao live now, she can't be her own pawn, so she can only destroy it. This maid, although she doesn't know much, part of her face has been discovered, which is enough for Tao to die thousands of times.
Thinking of this, Ruan's eyes began to become deep, she swept away the gentleness of the past, and said sternly: "Say, what did you do to the eldest lady?" Don't let me in, could it be that the eldest lady is hidden by you? Or is the eldest lady actually not in the room at all? ”
When Su Jianlian heard this, his expression immediately became nervous. "Why? Why is Qing'er not in the room? ”
Ruan Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and seemed to be very sad: "I met Tao Yao in the kitchen today, and I wanted to take the nourishing decoction with her to see the eldest lady, but Tao Yao said that the eldest lady was unwell and didn't want to see the concubine." The concubine was worried that the decoction was cold, and the eldest lady didn't want to see the concubine, so she called Qiulian to take the decoction and wanted to send it to the eldest lady's room. Unexpectedly, Qiu Lian actually heard ......"
Su Jianlian said impatiently: "What did you hear? ”
Ruan Shi paused and said in a low voice: "I heard Tao Yao say that the eldest lady is missing, and there are blood stains on the sheets...... The concubine was very worried, so she rushed here to see if it was true. If something happens to the eldest lady, what should the concubine do? How to face a dead lady? But Tao Yao stopped the concubine and didn't let the concubine in...... Later, you came, sir. ”
Tao Yao was already so angry that her teeth were itching, this Ruan's ability to tell right and wrong is really a set. She said, how could she suddenly insist on seeing the eldest lady, it turned out that her words were overheard! Tao Yao was angry and hateful to the Ruan family, and she was also very angry with herself, looking at her big mouth, she knew that the Prime Minister's mansion was full of Ruan's people, and she spoke so thoughtlessly. This time, I hurt the eldest lady!
A heavy sense of guilt then came up, Tao Yao's face was a little gray, and she bit her lip and didn't speak. In the eyes of others, this is a tacit acquiescence to all this.
Su Jianlian was so angry that his stomach hurt, and he yelled loudly: "You say! Is Qing'er really missing? If something happens to her, ten of you won't be enough to pay! ”
Ruan Shi immediately answered: "Yes, master, let's go in and have a look." If the eldest lady is really not in the room, we must hurry up and find someone! Otherwise, if it's late, I'm afraid that the eldest lady will ......"
Su Jianlian said in a deep voice: "Open the door." ”
Ruan's eyes crossed with joy, it seems that God is also helping her this time. Tonight, she is going to ruin Su Wanqing's slut!
She took a few steps forward again, and was about to push the door. Just as Ruan was about to push the door hard, the door suddenly "creaked" open.
Ruan Shi threw herself into the air and almost hit the door panel, but Qiu Lian, who was still on the side, quickly stepped forward to support her. Ruan Shi was able to stabilize her footing, and raised her head in some surprise, but when she met Su Wanqing's bottomless pupils, she couldn't help but take a step back.
Su Wanqing looked at her quietly, without a trace of waves in her eyes.
Everyone only heard her ask coldly: "Who said I wasn't there?" ”
Su Wanqing was only wearing a single coat on her body, and she was wearing a coat outside, and she looked like she had just gotten up from bed.
Tao Yao was almost crying with joy, with tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled and shouted: "Miss! ”
Su Wanqing looked at Tao Yao, a trace of gentleness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Tao Yao, come here." ”
Tao Yao immediately walked to Su Wanqing's side with small steps. At this moment, Tao Yao seemed to have found the backbone, standing with Su Wanqing standing tall and looking at Ruan Shi fearlessly, where there was the slightest fear and nervousness.
Su Wanqing no longer glanced at Ruan, but looked at Su Jianlian on the side, and said softly: "Qing'er made Daddy worried, Qing'er was indeed a little unwell, so she went home early." Fang just drank the medicine of peach boiling and rested. Tao Yao was afraid that I would be woken up, so she stayed outside the room. ”
Su Jianlian saw that although Su Wanqing's face was a little pale, she was in good spirits, and she let go of her heart at the moment, and she also regretted that she had wronged someone. He coughed and said, "Tao Yao, I wronged you this time, you are a good boy who is loyal to the Lord, and you will take good care of the eldest lady in the future, you know?" ”
To be able to make the prime minister of the dynasty say such a thing, where would Tao Yao still be angry, and nodded busily: "Yes, Tao Yao knows!" Please rest assured! ”
